Chapter 245: Trading, Ranking, and Alliance Issues Almost everyone is busy. Military generals such as Lu Bu, Wang Jian and Meng Gong were responsible for recruiting soldiers and then training them. Jiang Yu, Lin Hong, Huang Zhiyuan, Qin Siling and others were busy managing various daily affairs of the territory. The reason why I'm so anxious. The main reason is that Jiang Yu currently has a serious shortage of soldiers. At the same time, he has a lot of territories to manage. At present, in addition to 4399 territories that need to be managed, Jiang Yu also needs to manage Mo Yan’s territory. Not only that, in the wild, there are also newly occupied resource points that require manpower to guard. All of this requires a large number of soldiers! However, after a series of previous battles, Jiang Yu currently only has more than 2,000 soldiers left.

Including the one thousand soldiers left behind in the 4399 territory and the reserve soldiers, the current level has recovered to more than four thousand people. Still seriously insufficient! In the current situation where a large number of soldiers are needed, once a problem occurs in any link, it is very likely to lead to a chain reaction and a vicious cycle. For example, someone took advantage of the emptiness of Mo Yan's territory and attacked Mo Yan's territory. For example, someone took the opportunity to attack the transport team on Road 4399 from the resource point. These are all possible! Under such circumstances, Territory 4399 temporarily stopped its expansion and switched to defense and daily construction. As a lord, the first problem Jiang Yu encountered was the population problem in Mo Yan's territory. Although Mo Yan's territory still belongs to him now. However, he was unable to digest and absorb the population of the Moyan Territory. After all, they are members of the Demon Clan. They are not of our race and their hearts must be different. Jiang Yu naturally does not intend to accept them. Fortunately, their population is not large. Excluding those who escaped, there are only more than 30,000 people left, which makes it easier to manage. However, in terms of value, these 30,000 people are far more valuable than the goblins in the previous Saluka territory! After all, the demons are the most powerful clan in the universe! And the individual quality is very high. So if you trade it, you should be able to gain a lot of resources. But...how should he trade with the demons now? He also didn't know if there were other demon territories around. If there is, he will alert the enemy and let others know the location of his territory.

It would also make it easy for others to know that Mo Yan's death was caused by him. At the moment, the only way is to spend money to buy information from Guan Shanhe. Otherwise, even if Jiang Yu annihilated Mo Yan, the territory would have blocked Xian Hao's attack. It is still difficult for people around to obtain such intelligence and information. Therefore, Jiang Yu did not intend to take the initiative to deal with the demons. This is too troublesome! Finally, he came up with a solution. …… "So you think our Observatory is a multi-purpose room?" Guan Shanhe helplessly looked at Jiang Yu who was calling him to come over. He is busy making deals with various new lords. As a result, Jiang Yu came to this scene. Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Isn't this the kind of business that your Star Observation Pavilion does?" Guan Shanhe was helpless, "Tell me first, I'll see if I can accept it." Jiang Yu spread his hands and said, "I want you to help me bring these 30,000 demons to the demon territory, and then make the deal on my behalf." "Is that it? Why don't you do it yourself?" Guan Shanhe asked. "I don't want to expose my position." Jiang Yu said, "Besides, I owe you a lot of money. I will sell these demons and use the remaining money to pay you back." Guan Shanhe: "Good fellow, is this how you pay back the money?" "Is this not possible?" Jiang Yu asked. Guan Shanhe said, "Your request is actually nothing, but..." "only?" "We have to charge a middleman fee," Guan Shanhe said. "After all, it's quite far from your territory to the demon territory. If someone attacks along the way..." "With you leading the team from the Star Observatory, who would dare to attack?" Jiang Yu said with a smile. Guan Shanhe shook his head and said, "We will definitely charge the intermediary fee anyway." "How much?" "20%." "so tall!" "Not much. After all, I am responsible for the entire transaction process of bringing the demons to other demon territories, including transportation, negotiation, etc. This must be a lot of hard work..." "Okay then, deal!" Just like that, another deal was done! Jiang Yu was still very happy.

However, Jiang Yu did not let Guan Shanhe leave immediately. "By the way, I remember the list should be released soon, right?" “When will the new list be released?” Jiang Yu asked. "This is not a secret. I will tell you for free. Within a month, that is, in 25 days, we will launch the Newcomer List and the Prodigy List in the Genius Zone!" Guan Shanhe said with a smile. "Isn't this almost happening?" Jiang Yu was surprised. "Yes, so you must hurry up and build your territory..." Jiang Yu frowned, "I did think so, but I didn't expect that there is only so little time left..." As the territory level continues to increase, it may take seven or eight days to upgrade a building. Not to mention that Jiang Yu plans to upgrade the territory to level 6 next! "Okay, in order to gain an advantage in the next ranking competition, it is best to upgrade the territory to level 25 within 6 days. Even many buildings should be upgraded to level 6, so that the territory can enter the middle stage of level 6!" Jiang Yu quickly made plans for the next stage. Why does building a territory give you an advantage? This is of course because the combat capability can be strengthened and the number of soldiers can be increased. In addition to this reason, it is also related to the subsequent "competition for the rankings". The competition for the ranking list does not mean that the battlefield of all heavens organizes an event for you, and you can rank higher by participating in it. Well, your ranking can indeed go up by participating in activities, such as "Chaos Battlefield". But in most cases, competing for the rankings is the lord's own behavior. If you want to compete for the list, you have to rely on yourself! But the problem is. The Star Observatory only lists the top 100. If you want to compete for the top spot, you have to attack your opponent from multiple aspects such as economy, military strength, resource reserves, etc., and at the same time improve yourself in these aspects. The Genius Zone is extremely vast; the North Zone alone is very large. In such a northern region, the top 100 on the list are scattered here, and there must be a long distance between them! In this situation, it is likely that Jiang Yu will find it difficult to lead his troops to attack! As the saying goes, make friends with distant countries and attack nearby ones. If a territory is very far away, the risk of attacking it will be very high! For example, someone intercepts them along the way, or someone takes the opportunity to attack the territory in the rear, etc. Therefore, the competition among lords for the top spot is rather strange. In most cases, the competition between lords for the top spot was not through conquests. But various special means! For example, alliance. If the target territory is far away from you, you can form an alliance with a nearby lord and have him attack and harass the target territory, thereby lowering the ranking of the target territory.

This is the most commonly used method. But there is a prerequisite for the alliance. That is strength! If you don’t have strength, who will ally with you and help you attack the enemy? Even if you don't use the method of forming alliances, you must have enough strength to launch a powerful attack. To sum up, Jiang Yu’s top priority right now is to build up the territory as much as possible. It would be best to upgrade your territory to level 6 before the list is announced! (End of this chapter)
