From refugee NPC to mythical general

Chapter 76: The Battle of Princes
The Wending forum is still very lively, and the number of players in the game has been growing for half a year.

Some players are still holding on, while some players have sadly cancelled their accounts and started over.

A lord of the 'Xia Dynasty' suddenly appeared in Luoyang. No one knew who this player was, but he was rapidly annexing the southeast of Luoyang at this time. In a short period of time, he had annexed four territories, and the territory under his rule had expanded to a radius of eighty miles.

No matter who this player is, his strength cannot be underestimated.

However, the players quickly saw the map of the center of Luoyang again. Some players were surprised to see that the Dameng Dynasty had annexed the territories of five players within a radius of 20 miles.

After the two players, the one who proved all the pretenders and General Xing Daorong, were annexed by the Dameng Dynasty, in such a short period of time, the Dameng Dynasty actually annexed the territories of three more players!

“@LemonDuck, big duck, come and post some water!”

"Boss Ya, I've always been your fan. Tell me what happened. I'm so curious! How did you manage to swallow up three other players in such a short time?"

"Boss Ya, have you recruited another awesome general?"

"No doubt about it! For sure! I suspect that Boss Ya has recruited at least an eighth-rate general, otherwise he wouldn't be so powerful. An eighth-rate general alone might not be enough. The development in Boss Ya's territory must also be first-rate!"

Ning Mengya had already logged off from the game. After opening the forum, she looked at her fans out of habit. She was surprised to find that her fans had surged from more than 20,000 to more than 50,000!
This growth rate is terrifying!

Countless private messages came in from the backstage, and Ning Mengya had no time to read them.

However, she still browsed the forum first and paid attention to the situation of each player, especially the players in Luoyang.

Soon she was shocked to discover a territory called 'Xia Dynasty', which was expanding rapidly, and the southeast corner of Luoyang was about to be completely swallowed up by this player.

The speed of this invasion is simply unbelievable!
Even though he had a powerful general like Zhuge Liang, he had only expanded his territory to a radius of 20 miles, while the other side had four times as many troops as he did!
She kept this matter in mind.

"No, no, I haven't recruited any generals yet. I only have a third-rate strategist... How sad!"

Ning Mengya replied.

She didn't lie. She did not recruit any military generals, but Zhuge Liang was stronger than the military generals!

"Boss Ya! A liar has to swallow a thousand needles. Did you really fail to recruit any generals?"

Ning Mengya: "No, I'm not lying. I hope I can be lucky enough to recruit some generals next time!"

Novice: "Does anyone know who the lord of this 'Xia Dynasty' is?"

"I don't know."

"+1"

"+10086"

If we were to say who are the most panicked players right now, they would definitely be Little Rookie and General Pan Fengwei.

One of them is in Xuchang and the other in Guandu. The newbie is okay, especially the mighty General Pan Feng. According to the annexation direction of the Xia Dynasty, he will soon meet the mighty player of General Pan Feng entrenched in Guandu, and the two sides will definitely have a big battle soon.

"I have General Pan Feng here! Damn it, if you dare, fight me, General Pan Feng! I will make sure you never come back!"

The player General Pan Feng was speaking out loudly on the forum to cover up his nervousness. He was not sure what the strength of the player whose territory was called "Xia Dynasty" was, and why the annexation speed was so fast. This damn challenge, he couldn't find any information about the opponent at all. If he could find out the opponent's troops, generals, etc., he could make preparations in advance. Now he can't do anything. He is in the dark. Only after the battle can he know the opponent's strength.

The player 'Taohuayuan' originally wanted to say something on the forum, such as revealing the true strength of Dameng Village, or revealing that Ning Mengya had recruited a super awesome special NPC, a fairy with two companion beasts, etc., but in the end he chose to remain silent.

This is human nature. He himself failed and did not want to see others succeed. He even hoped that other players would be careless and underestimate the enemy and be swallowed up by the Dameng Dynasty.

At this moment, the official forum released an important message, which immediately attracted the attention of many players.

[Dear players, with the opening of the entire map, everyone has developed for a period of time and has acquired considerable strength]

[We are now very happy to tell you that the rebel Dong Zhuo is holding the emperor hostage in Chang'an and ordering the princes to obey him. Please strive to become one of the 18 princes as soon as possible and go to the capital to fight against the rebels! ]

After this official post was released, players immediately started cursing below.

"Designer Sima!"

"Disgusting stuff, can you see for yourself how difficult this crappy game is?!"

"I was swallowed up just after I started to develop. There is no preferential treatment after my resurrection. Damn it!"

However, more players began to think about the inner meaning of this post.

This game is set in the Three Kingdoms period. Originally, there was a segment in the Three Kingdoms in which eighteen princes fought against Dong Zhuo. Now, there is no set of eighteen princes, but players are asked to fight for one of these eighteen princes.

There are only eighteen places available, and there is a great chance that these eighteen princes will be able to achieve unification in the future. After becoming princes, the official will definitely give huge rewards!
All players have their own ideas, and players from all over the world have begun to prepare to become one of the eighteen princes!
Chang'an is not the Xi'an of later generations. It is 200 miles west of Luoyang, and there is one vassal state under the jurisdiction of Luoyang.

Ning Mengya looked at the official post thoughtfully. It was obvious that these forces entrenched near Luoyang would have a war sooner or later.

For example, General Pan Feng is mighty, Little Rookie, and the 'Xia Dynasty' whose strength is unknown, etc., will all prepare for this position among the princes.

It is conceivable that after this post is officially released, the annexation wars among the players will become more and more frequent and more and more brutal!

Ning Mengya didn’t know how long Dameng Town could continue to develop peacefully, but no matter what, with their current strength, they would definitely not be able to become one of the princes.

We must seize the time to recruit talents and develop rapidly!

……

After exiting the forum, Ning Mengya logged into the game immediately and came to the meeting hall of Daming Town.

When he told Zhuge Liang and Guo Tu the news he got outside, their expressions became solemn.

It is foreseeable that after this official post is released, it will stimulate mutual annexation among players. Originally, Daming Town planned to develop steadily for a period of time, but now it has to start being vigilant against possible invasions!
"What is the origin of that 'Xia Dynasty'?" Zhuge Liang asked.

The fact that he was able to annex so much territory in such a short period of time is enough to prove that he is not a simple person.

Ning Mengya shook her head and said, "No one knows anything without revealing any information."

Guo Tu thought for a moment and said, "He is still a hundred miles away from us. Don't worry too much for now. Let's just focus on developing step by step."
