CHAPTER 933: CHAPTER 741: ASSESSING THE FACTION, REWARDING THE PLAYERS

Opening the Jianghu Forum, in the corresponding Yangzhou section under the Ming Country, Jiang Dali indeed saw the latest war situation in Yangzhou.

Everything was basically as he expected. The Iron Gall Divine Hou Zhu Wushi really mobilized the four thousand elite soldiers he had sent there.

The only unexpected thing was that among the troops Zhu Wushi sent out, there were actually quite a few players.

Besides that, unexpectedly, among them were also experts like the big man full of horizontal muscles, Big Han Food Immortal, and the Paper Scholar from the Heavenly Pool Twelve Evil.

"Ever since I promoted Black Wind Village’s core appeal to the Mixed Martial Arts World, the Eight Desolate Disciples have been increasing in number. I didn’t expect that Zhu Wushi could still recruit such a large batch of skilled players to form an army against my Black Wind Village disciples, even making the Heavenly Pool Twelve Evil his aides, without me catching any wind of this beforehand."

After reading the information on the forum, Jiang Dali clicked his tongue in amazement.

At the same time, he had to admire Zhu Wushi’s calculative mind and preparations, intending to use the player’s strategy against other players.

And it was obvious, the batch of players selected by Zhu Wushi not only had good skills but also understood military tactics. Among them, there was even an acquaintance from his past life, King, Prince, General.

Seeing this player, King, Prince, General, also in the army of players recruited by Zhu Wushi, even playing a leading role.

Jiang Dali then realized that Zhu Wushi most likely selected elite players from the Ming Country army and various official institutions, similar to how the Southern King secretly trained a private army for rebellion, to secretly cultivate these players into an army. At this critical moment, they were put to use.

However, although Zhu Wushi’s preparations were indeed formidable, the army besieging Black Wind Village’s four thousand elite soldiers was mixed with five thousand elite NPC troops and martial arts experts like Big Han Food Immortal and the Paper Scholar, but still suffered defeat, repelled by his Black Wind Village elite soldiers.

Among them, Big Han Food Immortal was heavily injured by the Fist Tao God, nearly killed on the battlefield by the Black Wind Village players.

To truly obstruct Zhu Wushi’s attack on the Imperial City, Jiang Dali not only sent Black Wind Village’s four thousand elite soldiers but had also secretly dispatched the Fist Tao God early on when leaving the Divine Sword Manor to the Ming Country battlefield, specifically targeting the enemy’s experts.

This was also the last thing the Fist Tao God was willing to do for him.

Although the Fist Tao God was defeated by him, he was still a powerful expert in the Heavenly Human 8th Realm, only restrained because of his super-strong Cross Training Divine Skill, otherwise, he would be unbeatable.

But this person, after all, was once Jue Wushen’s senior. Against others who did not have such invincible Cross Training, his fierce and swift fist technique was a nightmare.

Killer experts in the Heavenly Human 3rd Realm 4th Realm like Big Han Food Immortal and Paper Scholar were simply no match for the Fist Tao God.

"Although this battle was a victory, the Fist Tao God was exposed. I don’t know if Zhu Wushi will personally make a move, what the Fist Tao God was thinking, to even hold back. Hmph!"

Even though the first probing contact battle was as expected a victory, Jiang Dali was still in a bad mood.

It was clear that the Fist Tao God held back during the fight and did not exert full strength.

As a result, Big Han Food Immortal and Paper Scholar managed to escape, otherwise at most only one would have gotten away.

Exposing such a trump card like the Fist Tao God but not even keeping one of their experts was naturally a loss in Jiang Dali’s eyes, and the Fist Tao God would undoubtedly draw Zhu Wushi’s attention.

But with things as they were, Jiang Dali could not strictly blame anyone.

When the general is on the field, military orders are sometimes not obeyed.

The Fist Tao God played this trick, and apart from mentally pounding him, there was nothing Jiang Dali could do.

He could only hope that not fully exposing the Fist Tao God’s strength might lead the Iron Gall Divine Hou to underestimate him and make wrong decisions.

While contemplating like this, Jiang Dali took another detailed look at the overall appearance of the four thousand elite player soldiers on the forum and found that this group of players was still very positive, full of spirit and confidence.

Immediately, he felt at ease.

He continued to issue a daily task subsidy reward to these elite players, as a form of reward and consolation from the village chief.

...

Far outside Changzhou City in the Ming Country, by the edge of a forest near the riverbank, smoke wafted up.

More than three thousand surviving Black Wind Village elite players camped and set up strongholds, gathering within the campsite, where white lights occasionally flickered, indicating players coming online.

Suddenly, players started to stop what they were doing in succession, all looking at the panel prompts appearing, and gradually some began to cheer, the cheers quickly spreading, more and more people set aside their work to cheer, loudly shouting the name of the "Black Wind Village Chief," quite excitedly.

"These damn Abnormal People, suddenly shouting Jiang Xiaoli’s name at this time, disturbing my sleep."

In a main tent embroidered with various patterns and adorned with all sorts of plant and animal-shaped embroideries, the Fist Tao God lay grandly on a large chair inside, drinking and cursing. Hearing the cheering outside made him annoyed, especially when hearing the Black Wind Village Chief’s name further irritated him.

This made him always feel as if he could never escape Jiang Dali’s grasp no matter where he was, as if being watched all the time.

Even now, he had begun to admire this young person.

But beyond admiration, there were mixed feelings, fear, jealousy, envy, which he himself was unwilling to admit, making him very much want to finish the tasks for the other party and quickly escape.

"Haha, didn’t expect to receive a subsidy reward at this time, and the awarded Cultivation Points and Potential Points are indeed substantial."

"This was worth the trip. Even for those brothers who died in battle, just this wave of compensation rewards can offset the loss of dying once."

"As long as we can win a battle, we can receive 820 Cultivation Points and Potential Points every day. Shit, if I can win battles for ten consecutive days without dying, and add the final total task reward, I’ll make a killing."

In the military camp, the elite players of Black Wind Village were delighted by the compensation rewards issued by Jiang Dali.

After being resurrected at the City God Temple in some villages and towns around the vicinity where they died in battle, the elite players of Black Wind Village saw the appearance of compensation rewards and were ecstatic, their worries gone.

They gathered in groups and immediately walked out of the City God Temple.

After acquiring a set of brand new equipment from some pre-arranged secret supply points nearby, they each put it on and swiftly headed towards the camp.

On Ice and Fire Island, Jiang Dali saw the reactions of elite players on the forum and couldn’t help but show a smile of capital happiness saying, ’If they are happy, I am happy.’

After his strength breakthrough to the Heavenly Human 6th Realm, his daily task rewards for players now reached a maximum of 820 Cultivation Points and Potential Points.

Back in the Gang Qi Realm before breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm, he could only distribute 160 Cultivation Points and Potential Points to players daily.

Upon breaking through to the Heavenly Human, he could distribute 320 Cultivation Points and Potential Points daily to players, which doubled.

Subsequently, each 1 realm improvement increased the distribution limit by 100.

Now, he could distribute 820 Cultivation Points and Potential Points daily.

It can be said that if Jiang Dali wished to relentlessly issue task rewards to players daily, he could potentially cultivate Heavenly Human Realm players in half a year.

Of course, as a seasoned scam artist, Jiang Dali certainly wouldn’t do that.

He understands the principle that when too much "currency inflation" leads to vegetables being too fat, someone might "inflate" to the point of crapping and peeing on his head.

Moreover, even if he wanted to do it or dared to, there weren’t enough suitable tasks for players to acquire a large number of Cultivation Points and Potential Points.

Each task must match the difficulty standard to issue Potential Points and Cultivation Points.

Not all tasks can yield enough Cultivation Points and Potential Points, which is beyond Jiang Dali’s control.

After issuing mission rewards to the army, Jiang Dali logged out from the Jianghu Forum.

In a quiet room, he cultivated to heal and expel the fire poison within his body while opening the panel to enter the personal power page, rarely exercising his rights as village chief, to begin examining the detailed state of his current power.

Black Wind Village, developed until now, initially dominated Hui Prefecture, now dominates the entire Song Country, and even possesses strong reputation and influence in other countries.

However, regarding the territory occupied by the power, it hasn’t expanded too much, fully embodying Jiang Dali’s philosophy that quality outweighs quantity.

The underlying reason for this philosophy is that having too much territory makes it impossible for him to manage entirely, as there aren’t enough talents under him for delegated management.

Nonetheless, as a renowned 4th-tier power, Black Wind Village now has a sizable number of sub branches and sub villages, totaling 24, and two major gangs rebuilt from the original Power Gang and Twelve Linked Water Fortresses.

The 24 sub branches and sub villages are mostly within Song Country.

Only a few, such as Dali Yunzhou Wuliang Branch, Ming Country Luoyang Branch, Yuan Country Leshan Branch, and Sui Country Shuanglong Branch, are scattered outside.

Other sects like "Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall", "Nangong Family", "Shangguan Family", "Iron Armor Sword Sect", "Blue Waves Sword Sect", "Zhongnan Sect", "Hengshan Sect", "Five Tigers Peng Sect", "Heavenly Ruin Gang", "Wuyi Gang", "Mantis Sect", "Qixia Temple", "Chen State Yan Family", "Snow Mountain Sect", etc., which were previously affiliated to Power Gang, still have some connection, more or less, to Black Wind Village.

These sects, after later subduing Hero Island and Divine Fire Sect, are the same.

Jiang Dali only needs to issue a Black Wind Order, and they will be at his disposal, or if the ’Iron Head Child’ refuses to comply, according to Martial World rules, they need to pay a considerable price.

While Jiang Dali examined his own power to recover from injury.

In the camp of Ming Country’s Divine Hou Anti-Army in Yang Province.

On the desk on the largest camp lookout platform, there boldly rested a letter.

One corner of the letter was tightly pressed by a intricately patterned Golden Seal with a Feng Yun motif.

The front of the envelope was inscribed in vermillion with the phrase ’Respectfully for Iron Gall Divine Hou’s grand opening’.

In the lower left corner, there was another small line of text stating ’World Association Wen Chouchou respectfully presented’.

Iron Gall Divine Hou stood with hands behind his back, gazing towards the gloomy sky outside the tent, lightly shaking his head and softly muttering four words, "Black Wind Village Chief..."
