Rise from the coffin and rebuild the vampire empire

Chapter 229 City Alliance
【Internal test:
Current power size: City Alliance

Number of forces: 82415

Available internal test quota: 1205
The number of internal test participants has been released: 805

Karen opened the system panel and took a look. When the number of members of the faction exceeded 80,000, some new places for internal testing were obtained.

Now the number of players of [Blood Oath Covenant] is already very large. It increased once when it reached 30,000, again when it reached 50,000, and now it has increased again when it reaches 80,000. The number of places for the internal test has now reached 1,200.

With wave after wave of new people joining in, the scale of the [Blood Oath Alliance] has become larger and larger. Now it has become a city alliance. There is nothing wrong with that. It is indeed a union of several cities.

The five cities of "Wangbo Port", "Shengxia Port", "Yinye Port", "Obsidian City" and "Helank City" combined together have a "living population" of more than 80,000.

Among them, Lizardmen are the largest in number, more than 40,000, humans are nearly 30,000, and high elves are more than 10,000, but these are not all the "residents".

In addition to living creatures, the [Blood Oath Covenant] also has many undead residents. There are more than 10,000 lizardman undead alone, and there are also human undead, beast undead, and various skeletons, which together number nearly 20,000.

In other words, including the undead, the [Blood Oath Covenant] has a population of 100,000, which is a powerful force. At least in the "New World", it cannot be underestimated.

Of course, since the undead are infertile and cannot reproduce, the system obviously will not count them in the population.

“The development momentum is pretty good.”

Karen nodded in satisfaction. After holding a meeting and confirming the construction of "Midsummer Port", the population growth has been good so far. After confirming the community of "Blood Oath Covenant", the five cities have become more closely connected, and the exchanges and interactions between the cities have also increased.

Goods between cities also began to flow rapidly. They were no longer confined to the local market, but utilized the entire [Blood Oath Alliance] market. Merchant ships would shuttle between the three coastal ports every day.

Of course, we cannot leave behind "Helank City" and "Obsidian City" where the lizardmen live. "Obsidian City" serves as a transit station, connecting "Helank City" and "Wangbo Port". The road from "Obsidian City" to "Helank City" is also being built as quickly as possible.

As the earliest established city and a city with well-developed infrastructure, "Wangbo Port" became the headquarters of the [Blood Oath Alliance] and the parliament hall was built here.

The Blood Covenant is currently a parliamentary system. Uther serves as the first speaker of the Blood Covenant, and the other governors are all parliamentarians.

Of course, the Governor is not the only one who can be a senator. Other major figures in power, such as Okanina, Hellion, Weiran, and Slaco, are also senators. It is fair for them to jointly discuss the major issues of the [Blood Oath Covenant].

As for the players, they certainly do not have the ability to participate at the moment. After Karen summoned another 400 players, bringing the total number of players to 1,205, these "strangers" are indeed a considerable force in the [Blood Oath Covenant].

However, they are still a long way from being able to unite and form a political force and join the parliament. They need to have at least more than 10,000 people and be able to independently build a city like the high elves. Otherwise, they will still not be able to influence the political situation.

In fact, players can "go into politics" and join government departments. This is no longer a secret for old players.

After all, [One Bite and a Half Orange] and [Wangchuan Qiuku] already had their own organizations, and they also recruited some players each. There were quite a few who didn't get the positions in the real world but managed to get them in the game.

In addition, those who joined the army have also obtained military ranks in the "Stranger Corps", and some have been promoted to captains. It can be said that they are doing very well.

After a while, maybe these players will really become politically awakened and think that they can also join the parliament.

"A bunch of new people are coming in, and we have more and more foreigners."

[Wangchuan Qiuku] This novice mentor is also a regular government employee of "Wangbo Port". When he looks at those newcomers, he feels that the player content of "Wangbo Port" is already quite high.

The reason for this is, of course, because everyone is used to the main city of "Wangbo Port", and the initial birth point is also "Wangbo Port".

During the novice period, no one would leave "Wangbo Port" too far. After getting familiar with it, they basically found a way to make a living in "Wangbo Port" and would not leave easily.

Today's "Wangbo Port" is developing rapidly and is far from being saturated. Compared with other cities, life in "Wangbo Port" is indeed more colorful, and everyone can find what they want to play here.

It is really difficult for ordinary players to stay in the two cities of the Lizardmen, "Hellrank City" and "Obsidian City". One is the language problem, and the other is the living habits. Unless you really have some special skills, ordinary people cannot stay there.

That is to say, only specially hired chefs like those in [Stir-fried Tomatoes] can stay. Everyone jokingly says that [Stir-fried Tomatoes] is really short of money. In order to earn some money, they cook for the Lizardmen every day. The main thing is that they have to go to work even when playing games.

But this is actually a misunderstanding. [Tomato Fried Tomatoes] is now the "royal chef" in "Hellrank City". No, it should be said that he is a "private chef". He was directly hired by Slako and his salary was paid by Slako himself.

Anyway, it's not a public account, so Slaco can arrange it however he wants. The specially hired chef [Stir-fried Tomatoes] is only responsible for Slaco and Zandata's three meals a day. In fact, he has very little time to spare and is not expected to cook for a bunch of lizardmen.

Because he was too idle, Slaco even arranged some other work for him, which was teaching, teaching the lizardmen the common language of the empire.

That's right, [Tomato Fried Tomatoes] was still half-baked in the common language of the Empire, but Slako asked him to teach other lizardmen.

how to say?

Maybe it's a case of giving it a try, or maybe it's a matter of trying. Anyway, it's difficult for the lizard people to learn, so let one of them teach and the other learn.

There was no way around it. Although Slaco wanted to vigorously promote the teaching of the "Imperial Common Language," he simply couldn't recruit reliable teachers. "Wangbo Port" itself was rapidly developing, with numerous opportunities, so there was no need for people to venture outside. Furthermore, coming to a place like "Hellrank City," not only inhabited by Lizardmen, but also on the front lines of the [Blood Oath Covenant] facing the "Lizardmen Empire," was a truly unwelcome prospect. Only a few players might have some concerns.

But the problem is that most players are only half-baked at the Empire's common language. Public projects are run on public funds, so Slaco naturally cannot recruit a bunch of half-baked foreigners just to get paid.

So in the end, this task still fell on Slaco and Zandata, and [Tomato Fried Tomatoes] only replaced them occasionally.

The first group of people that Slako and his team wanted to teach were naturally the other lizardmen priests. These priests were very smart and learned the language very quickly. By handing these priests over to the church first, they could then let these priests teach other lizardmen.

First teach the green lizards and chameleons, then the lizard warriors. As for the giant lizards, there is no need to teach them. Only some smart ones among the giant lizards have the ability to communicate in language. It is difficult for them to learn lizard language, let alone learn the imperial common language suitable for humans.

In short, the two lizardman cities, "Helank City" and "Obsidian City", have been trying their best to encourage the lizardmen to learn the language so that the lizardmen can better integrate into the [Blood Oath Covenant]. Although they have the largest number, they do not have an advantage in culture and wisdom.

Both Slako and Zandatta knew that if no changes were made, the role of the Lizardmen in the [Blood Oath Covenant] would probably always be related to war or hard labor. In short, they were all professions that required physical strength or even life, and their positioning was very clear.

In fact, it is really thanks to the existence of the undead. Otherwise, the Lizardmen would definitely not have the opportunity to build their own city. It is estimated that they would have to contribute to the construction of "Wangbo Port", "Shengxia Port" and "Yinye Port" like those Lizardmen Undead.

The "Imperial Common Language" teaching program promoted by Slako and Zandata can be regarded as a precautionary measure, and is also planning for the future of the Lizardmen. As for how many Lizardmen can be achieved in the end, we will have to wait and see until time passes into the future.

Since players wouldn't easily go to the two Lizardmen cities for various reasons, isn't there a "Summer Harbor"? That's a brand new city, so it should be a good place to go.

After all, there must be many opportunities in a new city, and in terms of the number of people, it is still less than that of "Wangbo Port".

But the problem is that the old players have already experienced the construction of "Wangbo Port" from scratch, from zero to one. They are very clear about the opportunities in building new cities, and they are even tired of it. Naturally, they will not experience it again.

As for new players, when they hear that going there involves physical work, they naturally won't go. After all, there are more choices in "Wangbo Port". You can join the army and navy, and now there is even an air force. Apart from joining the army, other projects are much more complete than "Shengxia Port".

As for "Silverleaf Harbor", many players want to go there, but there is currently no window for immigration to the outside world. The high elves of "Silverleaf Harbor" would rather build an elven city.

how to say?

All I can say is that narrow-minded thinking needs to be corrected slowly and cannot be done in a hurry.

Although the high elves have established good friendships with humans and are willing to integrate into the Blood Oath Alliance family, their isolation is still quite obvious.

High elves are different from humans in terms of culture, beliefs, appearance, etc., and they are immortal, so many of their concepts are deeply rooted and cannot be changed in a short time.

We can only take it slowly. Although Okanina, a high vampire elf, really wants to change, she doesn't know where to start. The transformation of the high elves is destined to require a long time and effort.

Players have few choices, and it is inevitable that they will all stay in "Wangbo Port" in the end, unless they really go out and build a city on their own.

"That's obviously not possible now."

[Wangchuan Qiuku] sighed, he had indeed had that idea.

After "Silverleaf Port", "Obsidian City", "Hellrank City" and "Midsummer Port" were built one by one, and after the council of the city alliance such as the [Blood Oath Covenant] was established, he wondered if it was possible for players to go out and build cities themselves and then become part of the [Blood Oath Covenant].

Finally, he got the answer that it was possible, and he asked Lyle specifically.

Lyle is the son of Speaker Uther, and is even a member of the Blood Covenant Parliament. He is also the person in charge of contacting these "strangers". Lyle's words are still credible, so this means that this matter is really feasible.

Of course, Lyle also gave a condition, which is that the population needs to be larger. If there are only more than a thousand foreigners, there is no need to go out and build a city alone. The [Blood Oath Covenant] will not allocate funds or provide any support.

It is certainly not possible not to support [Blood Oath Covenant]. Although [Wangchuan Qiuku] did not join the army and did not participate in several major battles with external forces, those players who joined the army and returned are all big mouths, and each of them promotes things in an exaggerated way.

Ordinary players may not understand the specific situation of the battle, but the government official [Wangchuan Qiuku] can still understand the real situation of the battle. He knows very well that without the support of the [Blood Oath Alliance], they will never be able to build the city on their own.

All it would take is a group of lizardmen bandits to show up and wipe them out.

Besides, those players who have joined the army will definitely not support it, because they know very well how dangerous this new continent is. The [Blood Oath Alliance] was able to gain a foothold by fighting one battle after another.

"I guess the time is not right yet. We have to wait until the Blood Oath Covenant becomes stronger."

[Wangchuan Qiuku] has already seen that the number of players is increasing with the expansion of the [Blood Oath Alliance], and the conditions for building a city given by Lyle require more foreigners.

This means that the number of players will increase enough to build cities only after the Blood Oath Alliance reaches a larger scale. The two will grow together.

[Wangchuan Qiuku] was not in a hurry at all. He had been a mentor for novice players for so long and would continue to be one in the future, so he was not worried at all. He could be said to be the most qualified person to be the governor of the first city built by the players.
