From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 43 Plague
In a huge room in Yinling Village, nearly 50 refugees were hiding and shivering. They were pale and thin, there were men and women, and some children, with intense fear in their eyes, huddled in a corner and shivering.

On the bodies of some of the refugees, one could clearly see the wounds from being whipped, and the bruises had not yet healed.

Seeing such a cruel scene, even Zhuge Liang stood there in a daze for a while.

Wang Da told Zhuge Liang that these refugees were captured by bandits, and they were forced to open up water conservancy projects, plant crops, chop wood in the mountains, and collect iron ore for the bandits every day.

They were hungry every day and were often enslaved and whipped.

After saying this, there was a hint of sadness in Wang Da's eyes.

Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment, then asked Wang Dadao: "Have you carefully examined it? Could there be any thieves pretending to be here?"

Wang Da shook his head. If there were really robbers, there would not be marks of whipping on their bodies. He had carefully examined the wounds on each person's body.

"General, if we take these refugees back with us, they can help us obtain a lot of resources."

Zhuge Liang hummed and said, "Have you sent someone to inform the lord and Mr. Guo?"

Wang Dadao: "We have already sent people there, and they are on their way now."

"Okay, let Mr. Guo handle these refugees."

"By the way, what did you mean by collecting iron ore?"

Wang Dadao: "There is a small iron mine in the mountain behind this village. They just discovered it not long ago and are mining it to make armor."

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain!

As long as the third wave of bandits is eliminated, the territory within a radius of about three miles with Daming Village as the center will be taken into possession!
Not long after, Ning Mengya arrived with Guo Tu and others.

Seeing this group of refugees huddled in the corner, Guo Tu suggested taking them back to Daming Village. So many refugees would undoubtedly be a huge labor force that could help Daming Village obtain more food, fodder, timber and other resources.

Zhuge Liang had no objection and did everything according to Guo Tu's wishes.

Wang Daqing counted the battlefield resources and obtained a total of 5 war horses, 14 gold coins, 28 silver coins, 96 copper coins, 769 food and fodder, and 16 sets of rattan armor.

The harvest this time was obviously greater than last time.

In this way, the resources of Dameng Village became: Food*2692, Gold Coins 20, Silver Coins 46, and Copper Coins 174!

There were also casualties on the battlefield this time, including 3 cavalrymen, 5 sword and shield soldiers, 21 infantrymen, and 3 archers. However, only 2 militiamen with armor died. It can be seen that the probability of militia surviving on the battlefield will be greatly increased if they have even the lowest protection of rattan armor.

After replenishing the armor, the number of armored soldiers in Daming Village reached 40, and 5 sword and shield soldiers were converted into cavalry, and the number of cavalry was supplemented.

So, the militia of Daming Village came to the following.

Militia*73 (Archers*24, Sword and Shield Soldiers*10, Spearmen*13, Cavalry*8, Infantry*3, Scouts*5, Sword and Axemen*6, Halberd Soldiers*4).

The number of civilians also increased from 45 to 96, and this time 51 refugees were subdued.

【Lord】: Lemon Duck

[Fief]: Dameng Village (Level 3 Village)

[Members]: Villagers*96, Militia*73 (Archers*24, Sword and Shield Soldiers*10, Spearmen*13, Cavalry*8, Infantry*3, Scouts*5, Axemen*6, Halberd Soldiers*4)

[Buildings]: Barracks (Level 3), Hospital (Primary)

[Resources]: Food*2692, Gold Coins 20, Silver Coins 46, Copper Coins 174
So far, Daming Village had already captured two bandit camps, and it only took about one month and six days.

After returning to Daming Village, Guo Tu first arranged the refugees together, and then let them move in in batches after the subsequent houses were built. Then he asked two doctors from Daming Village to treat their wounds.

After arranging everything, Guo Tu came to the meeting hall of Dameng Village. This battle exposed the importance of scouts, and the next step would undoubtedly be to focus on upgrading the scouts.

At the same time, the number of infantry is rapidly decreasing, and the barracks is not full. The next recruit, Rining Mengya, can continue to recruit militia until the barracks are full.

Now the gold coins in Dameng Village have reached 20. As long as we wait five more days and recruit enough third-level barracks, we can upgrade the territory and the barracks.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang’s experience points have not reached the maximum limit, so he cannot be upgraded to a ninth-rate general.

But soon.

During this period, you can go hunting in the mountains to gain experience. There are fewer and fewer wild beasts in the back mountains of Daming Village, but two new territories have been opened up, where you can still hunt to gain experience.

After the war against bandits ended, Zhuge Liang's skill points increased to 200 points, and he could upgrade his spear skills, archery skills, sword skills, and Mo Dao skills.

Among them, the intermediate spearmanship still needed 55 points to be upgraded to the advanced spearmanship, so he chose to allocate it to the intermediate spearmanship first.

After the allocation, he still had 145 skill points left, and all four of his skills had become advanced.

These 145 skill points can also be allocated to four skills. There are restrictions on upgrading generals, but there are no restrictions on upgrading skills. You only need to allocate skill points to them.

But Zhuge Liang was in a dilemma as to which skill point among the four should be upgraded.

Thinking about the fact that Chi Mang also needs 200 skill points to upgrade... Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, Wang Da, you guys deserve to die!

If we had killed more enemies in this war against bandits, we wouldn't have so few skill points, which led to the current distribution dilemma.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Wang Da ran over hurriedly, looking extremely flustered.

"What's the matter?"

Zhuge Liang was feeling annoyed, and when he saw Wang Da, he wanted to give him a big nose so that he would be startled all day long.

Wang Da hurriedly said, "General, Mr. Guo asked you to go over, something went wrong!"

Zhuge Liang: "What's the matter?"

Wang Dadao: "General, you will know when you get there."

"Go! Tell me what's going on!"

How did Wang Da develop such a personality that he likes to keep things a secret? The personalities of the NPCs in Wending are really capable of growth!

Wang Da hurriedly said, "Well, well, among that batch of refugees, many were infected with the plague!"

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned and his brows were furrowed.

Before his death, Yang Song begged for mercy and said that he wanted to take Dameng Village with him to be buried with him.

I guess this vicious plan was thought up by him!
Yang Song came up with two plans in total. The first one was to steal the house, but it was solved by Chi Mang.

The second option was to plague the refugees. He expected that Zhuge Liang would definitely rescue those poor refugees. After all, Zhuge Liang was not a bandit. He had humanity and would not stand by and watch them die.

As long as they are rescued, the disaster of Daming Village will come in an instant!

This plan could not be cracked at all. If Zhuge Liang had released Yang Song at that time, Yang Song would have told him the truth that the refugees were infected with the plague.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang did not give him a chance and killed him with one blow!
