Chapter 658 The First Year Reward Liquidation (2 in 1)
In August of the ninth year of the lord's calendar, the rewards for the first year of the fourth national war began to be settled, and all the lords were counting their rewards.
Whether it is the alien lord or the newly arrived leader of the barbarian camp, they are all waiting for the opportunity to strengthen their strength, and this time the reward covers all the lords, and may even change the pattern of the main world.
In the city of Rome, the teleportation array flashed white light, and a group of ragged Roman soldiers passed through several teleportation arrays from the far east, and fled back to the city by means of bribery.
When they returned to Rome, they were soon surrounded by the city defense army.
"I'm Crassus!"
Crassus made people take out an eagle flag, which is the eagle flag of the Roman First Legion!
"The Vanishing Eagle Banner!"
"It's really Master Crassus!"
The Roman soldiers guarding the teleportation formation saw the reappearance of the eagle flag of the Roman First Legion, which had disappeared for a long time, and soon realized that the old man in front of him who had fled back to Rome in embarrassment was Crassus, the once magnificent giant, and the richest man in Rome. .
In the third national war, the Roman Legion lost three eagle flags, one of which fell into the hands of the Mongol Empire and two of which fell into the hands of the Han Empire.
The eagle flag of the First Legion fell into the hands of Temujin, and now, the eagle flag of the First Legion has returned, and only two eagle flags are still left outside.
"Crassus is back? Bring him to me."
Constantine, the Roman lord, was one step ahead of Caesar who was fighting outside. He learned that Crassus had fled back to Rome, and tried to bring Crassus to himself.
Crassus was disgraced, escaped from Hara and Lin, and then managed to escape back to Rome from the teleportation array of the large city. However, the current Rome is about to become an empire, which is somewhat different from the Rome that Crassus knew.
"I, Constantine, will accept the eagle flag of the First Legion."
Constantine demanded by force the eagle standard of the Roman First Legion.
The First Legion, as a high-level unit, is a big help.
"Konstantine, this is my legion, how can you take it away?!"
"Crasu, a Roman who worked for Temujin, is no longer a loyal Roman. Your property has been divided by Caesar, Pompey and me, and your power and status have been wiped out. Collect money for me and save your life. It's the best ending."
"you……!"
"Put Crassus in the dungeon, he may be a traitor sent by Temujin."
Constantine imprisoned Crassus.
The eagle banner of the First Legion unfurled, and Constantine stroked the dusty banner.
"Our Roman eagle flag can't play a role in the hands of Temujin. Only in the hands of our Roman generals can it play the greatest effect. Rome, it's time to become an empire."
Behind Constantine, a group of Roman generals adopted their energy, including Scipio the Great, Scipio the Little and other famous Roman generals.
"Caesar is old, Octavian is not mature yet, the emperor of the Roman Empire will be me, Constantine."
Constantine already controlled eight Roman eagles.
"Ding! The fourth national war, the first year's reward settlement, you get a special recruitment order (cooling period of half a year), a Byzantine heavy cavalry (Eastern Roman heavy cavalry) soldier talisman, a miracle building Pantheon (Pantion Temple) ) a construction blueprint."
"Ding! You can use the points to exchange for special items, and the points can be accumulated to the second and third year for settlement. The special items that can be exchanged for the second and third years are generally of higher quality."
Constantine received a system prompt.
"Byzantine heavy cavalry?! It seems that our Roman legion will no longer worry about the lack of cavalry."
Constantine held a lost civilization, a soldier talisman of the Byzantine Empire,
Byzantine heavy cavalry, experienced in many battles.
"The Pantheon can only be built after the establishment of the Roman Empire. But what effect does the Pantheon have?"
Constantine opened the construction drawings of the Pantheon and observed its properties.
In "The Lord", all the special buildings have special effects, which can bring special growth to the empire by embodying the miraculous buildings that are only symbolic in reality.
There have also been some new changes in the redemption rules for points. Points can be accumulated and used later.
Constantine flipped through the list of items, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The fourth national war has very special props.
Some props have special effects, one of which can expand the size of the Roman legion, but the required points are expensive.
Not only Constantine, but all the lords of Western civilization who participated in this national war have received settlement rewards.
Louis, Lord of France, received a soldier's amulet from the Knights Templar.
"Recruiting the Knights Templar will make it easier to deal with the Visigoths now. However, the King of the Visigoths will also be rewarded."
The English lord has obtained a new warship blueprint, and the German lord has obtained a two-handed sword soldier amulet...
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chutian received the system settlement reward notice almost at the same time.
"Ding! The fourth national war, the first year's reward settlement, you get a special recruitment order (holy rank, one-year cool-down period), and a blueprint for the construction of the miracle building the Great Wall."
"Ding! You can use the points to exchange for special items, and the points can be accumulated to the second and third year for settlement. The special items that can be exchanged for the second and third years are generally of higher quality."
"Why are there only two rewards..."
Chu Tian was quite critical at first, because he only got two rewards.
However, seeing the introduction of the special recruitment order, Chu Tian's expression changed.
[Name]: Special Recruitment Order (Holy Class)
[cooling period]: one year
[Effect]: There is a high probability of recruiting holy-level heroes in the civilization where there are no holy-level heroes, or if the holy-level heroes have been recruited, there is a probability of recruiting holy-level heroes in other civilization areas.
[Description]: Exclusive reward for the first lord of the traditional empire camp in the first year of the Fourth National War.
"Holy level..."
Chu Tian probably understands why there are only two rewards for the first place. The value of these two rewards is unimaginable.
There hasn't been a saint-level hero in the Eastern Han District yet, and it seems that the first saint-level hero may be born in his own hands.
Some holy generals themselves have powerful arms, so the value of this recruitment order is not only the general itself, but also special arms.
The second reward is the Great Wall, a level ten wonder building.
【Name】: Great Wall of China
[Rank]: Tier 10 military building
[Origin]: The military fortifications of ancient China, a tall, strong and continuous long wall, began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
[Effective Conditions]: The Han Great Wall has been in disrepair for a long time, and the Han Empire needs to rebuild the Great Wall to exert its effect.
[Effect 1-Indestructible]: The defense power of all arms in the Eastern Han Dynasty +5%, and the damage to nomadic civilization +3%.
[Effect 2 - Fusion]: The integration speed of nomadic tribes in Monan, Mobei, and Liaodong regions +30%, cultural identity +30%.
[Effect 3 - Tuntian]: The economic, agricultural and cultural development speed along the Great Wall +20%.
[Effect 4 - Garrison]: The army stationed on the Great Wall has defense +30%.
[Effect 5 - Miracle]: All cities in the Guannei area have a blessing value of +1, and law and order is permanently +2.
The most amazing effect of the Great Wall is that it provides 5% defense for all legions in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a 3% damage bonus for nomadic civilization.
It seems not high, but in fact, if the Han Empire had an army of one million, then the existence of the Great Wall would be equivalent to adding tens of thousands of soldiers for nothing, saving hundreds of thousands of taels of military expenditure every year, or even millions of taels of military expenditure.
And as long as the Great Wall exists, this effect will always exist.
The Great Wall is also a key building for assimilating nomadic tribes in Monan and Mobei, and a special building for developing the economy along the Great Wall.
However, it seems that every emperor who builds the Great Wall will be blamed. After all, the investment cost is relatively high at the beginning, and a sum of money will be invested every year to repair the Great Wall.
"We can only consider rebuilding the Great Wall after the Eastern Han Dynasty is unified..."
Chutian coveted the military effect of the Great Wall.
Combined with the defense bonus of the Great Wall of Heavy Armor, the effect is quite impressive.
This is a building with a long-term effect. Before the unification of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it seemed that there was no money and no ability to build the Great Wall. Some places along the Great Wall were controlled by Lao Qin.
Both rewards are already top-tier rewards.
The special recruitment order with a cooling-off period of one year is the highest-quality holy-level recruitment order in "Lord".
The tenth-level architectural drawing is the highest-level architectural drawing in "The Lord", and it is a representative miracle building in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with five effects.
Chu Tian carefully put away the recruitment order and the Great Wall blueprint, which were the only ones that could recruit holy heroes.
He still has a lot of points to redeem.
When using points to exchange for special items, Chu Tian faced the same dilemma as all lords. He had to decide whether to use points to exchange for special items now to gain a first-mover advantage, or to keep the points and wait until the next year's reward exchange.
According to the system's prompt, the quality of reward items in the second and third years will be better than that in the first year.
In the past, the period of each point was only one month, and it would disappear if it was overdue, but this time, it can be accumulated to the second or third year.
Does the system think that for some special items, the points obtained by the lord in the first year are not enough to exchange?
Chutian couldn't help thinking about the logic behind it.
Some special items are of very high value. For example, Chutian obtained a special recruitment order with a high probability of recruiting holy heroes. Even if 1 million points were consumed, Chutian would exchange them immediately without saying a word.
The blueprint of the Great Wall may be worth more than a million points, but only after the various lords have established a great empire will they consider exchanging such late-stage props.
"Do you want to keep the points until the second or third year?"
Chu Tian couldn't help worrying that among the special items for the second year, there would be a recruitment order similar to the recruitment of holy heroes, so he didn't dare to consume all the points for a while.
Chu Tian browsed among the items that can be exchanged now. He may not need some special soldiers. There are too many subordinates now. The cowardly Xue Jun Bing Talisman.
The tenth-level cavalry battalion is also not needed, because he has already exchanged for the tenth-level cavalry battalion before.
In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, it is estimated that only Chang'an City and Xia City have tenth-level cavalry battalions.
Suddenly, Chu Tian's sight fell on a special prop.
"The persuasion order requires 300,000 points."
It was the first time Chu Tian saw this special item, and it actually required 300,000 points!
【Name】: Surrender order
[Effect]: You can persuade military commanders with characteristics such as loyalty/chivalry to surrender for your own use
[Restrictions]: The monarch cannot be recruited, and the hidden ambition value of recruited generals remains unchanged.
[Required Points]: 300,000
【Number of exchanges this time】: 1 time
Although a capitulation order requires 300,000 points, Chu Tian knows the value of this item.
There are some generals who would rather die than surrender, such as Yue Fei, Gao Shun, Monk Wanyan Chen, etc. The function of the persuasion order is to recruit these generals for the lord.
Its life-changing effect is worthy of the consumption of 300,000 points.
"This item is used to recruit Monk Wanyan Chen, it should be valuable."
Chu Tian made a balance, and used 300,000 points to recruit an emperor-level hero, and it also came with two special units, the Zhongxiao Army and the Heli Heli Army.
If there is no "persuasion order", it is estimated that Monk Wanyan Chen will not surrender until his death.
It's a pity that the persuasion order can only be redeemed once in the first year, otherwise Chutian will consider exchanging a few more, and if he encounters a stubborn general like Wanyan Chen in the future, he can directly recruit him to surrender.
"Ding! You spent 300,000 points and got a capitulation order, leaving 950,000 points."
A special capitulation order appeared in Chutian's hand, which looked somewhat similar to the recruitment order.
Once the surrender order is obtained, so is the Jurchen hero Wanyan Chen Monk.
The Zhongxiao Army, Heli Hejun, and Wanyan Chen Monk are as valuable among the Jurchens as Xiao Chuo among the Khitans.
Two valuable figures of civilization fell into the hands of Chu Tian.
This national war has a lot of items with special effects, but the points consumed by each item are in units of 10,000, and Chu Tian dare not consume too many points.
"Let's keep the points and wait until the second or third year."
Chu Tian still held back, he had a premonition that in the second or third year, there might be some props that broke through the upper limit of one million points.
In the first year, the Han Empire fought against Temujin head-on, so it was relatively easy to gain points.
At present, the Mongol Empire has collapsed, and there seems to be only a few remnants of other nomadic civilizations around the Han Empire. It may not be easy to get points again.
Unless, go to the Western Continent to mix points...
Chu Tian thought of Ekaterina's request for help, and it seemed that Eastern Europe was also a good place to earn points.
For the rewards in the second and third years, it seems that Eastern Europe has to go, otherwise, if there are better items in the second and third years and there are not enough points to redeem, then it will be embarrassing.
Chutian closed the list of exchanged items, saved 950,000 points, and still ensured that he was ranked first, a little higher than Marshall, who was second, and disgusted the lord of the United States by the way.
"Dian Wei, follow me to the dungeon."
Chu Tian got a special "surrender order" and immediately took Dian Wei to the dungeon to recruit Monk Wanyan Chen to surrender.
In Xiacheng's dungeon, a fierce general was imprisoned and guarded by heavy soldiers.
During the war between Hetao and the Western Regions, the Jurchen general Wanyan Chen, who caused a lot of trouble to the Han army, was imprisoned in the dungeon.
Because Monk Wanyan Chen has high force, in order to prevent him from escaping, he was locked up with iron cuffs.
The current monk Wanyan Chen has been imprisoned for more than half a year, and his hair is disheveled.
"Monk Wanyan Chen, the Mongol Empire has perished and Temujin fled, why didn't you surrender to me?"
Holding the possibility of one out of ten thousand, Chu Tian finally persuaded Monk Wanyan Chen to surrender.
It would be best if the precious "surrender order" can not be used, after all, it is 300,000 points.
"I, Monk Wanyan Chen, have been loyal all my life and will not surrender to you."
Monk Wanyan Chen didn't even raise his head to look at Chu Tian, his loyalty made it impossible for him to surrender.
Seeing that Monk Wanyan and Chen ignored him, Chu Tian was not angry, but silently took out the order to persuade him to surrender.
Although there is barely happiness, in "The Lord", this principle does not apply to some special props.
"Ding! Monk Wanyanchen, the imperial general, pledges his allegiance to you."
After Chu Tian exhausted the persuasion order, the stubborn Wanyan Chen finally recognized his master.
What would have happened if Xiao Chuo had used this persuasion order?
Chu Tian couldn't help thinking of Xiao Chuo who was not very loyal.
But after thinking about it, it is more interesting to gradually conquer Xiao Chuo. After all, Xiao Chuo is different from Monk Wanyan Chen, she is a person who knows the current affairs.
In Xianyang City, Lao Qin was holding a special recruitment order with a cooling-off period of half a year. This kind of recruitment order has a high probability of recruiting emperor-level heroes.
"The quality of the special items that can be exchanged in the second and third years is better. I need to bear with it. Maybe next year, I can change my life against the sky. This recruitment order is enough."
Lao Qin played with the special recruitment order in his hand.
He had the same idea as Chutian, he would rather keep the points for later than redeem them now.
Lao Qin was even more extreme, and didn't consume any points, because he hadn't seen the props that made him think he could turn the tables.
"Wait until next year to use the points."
Liaodong City, Mingguan, like Lao Qin, did not use any points, but kept the points for the second year.
Except for some lords who urgently need props to improve their situation, most of the lords choose to live with it, so that they can fight back at critical moments.
In the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Ekaterina, as the top ten lord, also received a recruitment order, but this recruitment order is not enough to change the current crisis.
Her opponents, Jochi of the Golden Horde, Attila of the Hun Empire, and the king of the Kingdom of Sweden, they also have corresponding rewards in this national war.
Attila is currently number one among the barbarians, and his reward is almost the same as Chutian's reward.
Attila's reward was originally supposed to be Temujin's reward. After Temujin lost the reward of the Great Khan, the reward for being the first in the barbarian camp fell into the hands of Attila, the leader of the Huns.
"In order to get the second year's reward, Chutian should come to Moscow."
Yekaterina is still worried about whether Chutian will send troops to help.
Now it seems that for the second year's points, Chutian has a high probability of participating in the war in Eastern Europe.
The internal war in the Eastern Han Dynasty was still brewing, and a large-scale civil war would not break out in a while. Chutian only needed to send tens of thousands of people to change the situation in Eastern Europe.
Yekaterina still has a lot of troops here that can be squandered by Chu Tian.
"Your Excellency, the Golden Horde army has gathered 300,000 troops and marched towards Ryazan City!"
"The Hungarian army assembled a hundred thousand troops and marched towards Smolensk!"
"No one can capture Moscow... Stick to Ryazan and Smolensk, delay until the cold winter, and then it's time for us to turn defeat into victory."
Ekaterina received news that two enemies had attacked the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and she resolutely chose to stick to it.
Cold winter will be the most beneficial weapon of the Grand Duchy of Moscow against the enemy.
In the Hun Empire, Attila held a special recruitment order (holy rank) with a one-year cooling-off period. The reward was almost the same as that of Chutian, and the two belonged to different camps.
"Holy hero, I don't know which civilization's holy hero will be driven by me? I can get this recruitment order, thanks to Temujin, otherwise, how could it fall into my hands? Alexander, you Is it possible to deal with this hero?"
Attila weighed a special recruitment order in his hand.
The Hungarian Empire has no remaining holy heroes, so his holy heroes will come from other civilizations.
In the Golden Horde, the army of the Jochi Conquest Khanate marched towards the city of Ryazan in the south of Moscow. The cavalry of the Golden Horde was mighty and mighty, stretching for dozens of miles, with horses neighing and flags waving.
As the nominal khan of the Golden Horde, Jochi received the rewards issued by the system.
"Unfortunately, if Father Khan's status as the Great Khan of the Empire is still there, the reward will be more than this."
Jochi couldn't help feeling sorry.
Temujin should have been able to obtain a holy-level recruitment order and lead the Mongol Empire to its peak, but now it seems that this holy-level recruitment order belonging to the barbarian camp is very likely to fall into the hands of Attila, the leader of the Huns .
Temujin's expression was not very good all the time, his points completely disappeared, and he didn't get even a little benefit from this national war. Instead, his sons, Jochi and Tuolei, were rewarded.
"Attila, we may still be able to take his holy-level recruitment order."
Temujin lost the reward for the first place, and coveted Attila's holy-level recruitment order.
The cooling-off period of the holy-level recruitment order is one year, and before Attila uses the recruitment order, he still has a chance to take away this recruitment order.
"This should have been my reward."
Temujin looked towards the west where Attila was, with gloomy eyes.
"Attila must be eliminated before he uses the reward, otherwise he will become a serious problem. United with the princes of the Holy Roman Empire and Caesar of Rome, and wiped out the East Goths and Huns."
The Kingdom of Macedonia, Alexander the Great, summoned the legions of various civilizations in the Balkan Peninsula, and sent an invitation to the princes of the Holy Roman Empire and Caesar to attack Attila the Hun again.
Attila, who has a holy recruitment order, will be an extremely dangerous person, and he may take away the holy heroes of other civilizations.
Under Alexander the Great, his generals, Antigonus, Ptolemy, Lysimachus, Seleucus, Cassander, as well as the generals of Athens and Sparta, had already experienced many battles.
King Leonidas of Sparta brought a group of strong warriors to help him in the battle. Their physique was stronger than Harald's Varangian guard.
In addition to Sparta, there is also the heavy infantry of the Athenian hero Miltiades.
(
