Chapter 66 The Real Enemy Attack

A total of 53 refugees were taken by border soldiers to the city wall of Daming Town.

There were originally 201 refugees in Ruweng Town, and more than one hundred refugees chose to flee to other territories. These refugees had no choice. If they did not find a lord to seek refuge with, they would basically be attacked and captured by wild beasts and bandits.

But at the same time, this group of refugees were also very worried. They didn’t know what the new lord would be like. If the lord they defected to was no different from Xing Daorong, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for them.

When they heard that Daming Town was going to build houses for them and provide them with three meals a day, these refugees were shocked and knelt down to express their gratitude to Ning Mengya.

Ning Mengya looked at Guo Tu and Zhuge Liang in a strange way, and said suspiciously: “Aren’t these just basic things? Hurry up and get up!”

“You guys work hard, and if you have talent in the future, I will promote you to be village heads.”

After hearing this, the refugees became even more grateful.

After they told everyone what happened in Ruweng Town, everyone fell silent.

The refugees in Ruweng Town have no houses and live together in shanties. Those who fall sick or are infected with the plague will be dealt with directly…the so-called dealing with means killing them.

They were only provided with two meals a day, one steamed bun and one porridge.

Ning Mengya couldn’t believe that Xing Daorong would be so cruel to his people, but this was normal. The player never took the people in Wending seriously. He always thought that the people in Wending were the least important. They were just a group of NPCs and would die if they died.

I’m afraid he will only realize now that the common people in Wending are just as important as the generals! These NPCs have their own thoughts. If you treat them badly, they will rebel, run away, and resist!
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and asked the refugees, “What about other people?”

This group of refugees respectfully told Zhuge Liang that they had gone to different cities because no one could guarantee whether their lord would treat them as human beings. If the lord treated them badly, they could move to other territories in the future.

Zhuge Liang nodded, and Guo Tu arranged for them to move in, and sent someone to check whether there were any enemy spies among these refugees.

“He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. General, you should believe that what I said to you was not to flatter you, right?”

Zhuge Liang hummed.

Ning Mengya asked: “What?”

Conspiring against you… Guo Tu smiled awkwardly. This lord was pretty good. Especially when compared with the mighty General Xing Daorong, he felt that Ning Mengya was a good lord.

Of course, all this is because of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is not Xing Daorong. Otherwise, with his current authority in Daming Town, he could easily become the second Xing Daorong to enslave and undermine the power of his lord.

But Zhuge Liang did not do so.

Zhuge Liang asked Ning Mengya, “My Lord, when will the next round of recruitment begin?”

Ning Mengya said, “There are still three days left…hiss! Zhuge Liang, you are not planning to attack the eighth-rate general again, are you?”

This is too fast!

On the next recruitment day, as long as the fourth-level barracks are fully recruited and 50 gold coins are used, Dameng Town can be upgraded from a first-level town to a second-level town, and the barracks can also be upgraded from a fourth-level barracks to a fifth-level barracks.

Every upgrade of the barracks means that Zhuge Liang has to strive to become a higher-level general!
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said, “My lord, we are going to conquer all the territory within a radius of 20 miles, and in the future we will conquer the entire Luoyang… If I don’t improve my strength quickly, how can I support the army to fight.” “That’s right… But Zhuge Liang, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. No matter what your strength is, you will always be the general of our Dameng Town.”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and asked, “What if you recruit more powerful generals in the future? Will they obey me?”

Ning Mengya said without thinking: “If they don’t obey you, just drive them away.”

Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment.

Guo Tu was also stunned for a moment. He now seemed to understand why Zhuge Liang had always been unwilling to fight for supremacy alone.

……

In the past two days, Daming Town has continued to develop in an orderly manner. With the addition of 53 refugees, the people of Daming Town have also arrived at 464!

Ning Mengya spent another 5 gold coins to build 10 arrow towers on the city wall. With the existence of arrow towers, archers can ensure their own safety when defending!

Although there are only 174 soldiers in Daming Town now, after obtaining fifty sets of armor from Xing Daorong, almost all of the 174 soldiers are equipped with armor!

For the remaining soldiers who were not equipped with armor, Ning Mengya spent 10 gold coins to make armor for them all.

174 soldiers, 174 sets of armor… This is truly powerful!
The finances of Dameng Town are still sufficient, and the income that the 464 citizens can bring in every day is huge. In other words, the citizens alone can generate 3 gold coins of fiscal revenue every day!
In addition to the above good news, there is another piece of news that surprised Zhuge Liang even more. During this period, Wang Da and seven other soldiers have been successively promoted to senior militia strength!

In addition, 30 soldiers with good qualifications have been upgraded to intermediate militia strength!
You know, a few days ago, the players exposed all the pretenders who were still feeling complacent about having two high-level militiamen. But after just a few days, seven high-level militiamen had appeared in Daming Town. Even Xing Daorong, who had a slightly stronger configuration, only had six mid-level militiamen, and they were all killed on the battlefield by Zhuge Liang’s men!
Everything is developing slowly, just waiting for the recruitment day to arrive tomorrow. Once Ning Mengya has replenished all the soldiers in the fourth-level barracks, Zhuge Liang will be able to successfully become an eighth-rate general!

In the meeting room, Zhuge Liang, Guo Tu and Ning Mengya were discussing the next advance plan.

Ning Mengya did not get any useful information from the forum, so she could only send scouts to survey the strength of the other three territories.

Guo Tu suggested: “General, do you think we can send scouts disguised as refugees to gather information?”

The strength of the other three territories is unknown, and Zhuge Liang does not dare to take risks. If the other side really has higher-level generals, the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, “Okay, that’s it…”

Before he could finish his words, Wang Da came hurriedly, sweating profusely and said, “General, there is an enemy attack!”

“Another enemy attack… Are they refugees again?”

This guy is startled every day, and it feels like the boy is crying wolf. Last time there was an enemy attack, he didn’t understand the situation clearly until he realized that they were refugees.

Wang Da shook his head frantically and said, “No, this time I have figured out the situation. The soldiers from the border area came to report that it was an enemy attack… It is estimated that the enemy has 500 to 600 soldiers. The border troops did not dare to confront them head-on, so they sent the news back immediately.”

“what?”

Guo Tu stood up suddenly and exclaimed: “How many soldiers?!”
