Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 589 Wonders
Even if Xu Yang's personal gains were excluded, the total amount of spoils was still extremely large. After all, the enemy was an elite force of five or six hundred people, with many heroic commanders.

Xu Yang took a quick look and immediately took a fancy to three special trophies.

Hero Contract
Item Tier: Tier 1 (Epic)

Item Effect: Contract (Randomly contract an epic hero)
Item description: The soul is back, the soul is back!

Golden Country Racecourse
Building level: Level 1 (rare)
Architectural civilization: Jin Dynasty

Building special effects: Horse herding (you can raise horses to gain economic benefits, or tame war horses to enhance military strength, reduce the cost of training cavalry, and hold a horse trading conference every month, with a chance to spawn rare mounts)

Building introduction: The Jin Dynasty Horse Ranch is an important support for the Jin Dynasty's cavalry!
Jin Guo Blacksmith Shop

Building level: Level 1 (rare)
Architectural civilization: Jin Dynasty

Building special effects: Iron smelting (has higher iron smelting technology than regular blacksmith shops, can obtain better economic benefits, reduce the cost of training armored forces, and can hold a magic weapon conference every month, with a chance to spawn rare weapons)

Building introduction: Although they were a nomadic people, the Jurchens had highly developed iron smelting technology. After the establishment of the country, they vigorously developed the technology and used it to arm the terrifying Jin heavy armored forces.

……

The three pieces of trophies are all special rewards after the war and are also the best rewards in the total spoils.

There is no need to explain much about the Hero's Contract. Everyone who knows the value of an epic hero knows it. All the lords, including Zhang Yan, are drooling over it, but Xu Yang doesn't care at all and directly puts it in his pocket.

As for the Jin Kingdom Horse Farm and Jin Kingdom Blacksmith Shop, they are also rare civilized buildings, and they are civilized buildings that combine economic production and military armament. Their value is far greater than the equipment, so it is reasonable to take them down.

In addition to these three items, there are many other good things in the loot library, such as...

Iron Pagoda Armor

Equipment level: Level 1 (rare)
Equipment attributes: 35 defense, physical strength +3, physical strength +1 (effective below level )
Equipment Effect: Heavy Equipment (Greatly reduces damage from slashing, stabbing, arrows, crossbows, etc.)

Equipment introduction: Iron Pagoda armor, forged from steel that has been tempered hundreds of times, is hard to be damaged by swords and guns, and difficult to be penetrated by bows and crossbows.

……

Among the two special arms of the Jin Dynasty, the Iron Pagoda was the most outstanding. The 35-point protective armor looked ordinary at first glance, only 5 points higher than Xu Yang's tiger skin coat.

But Xu Yang's tiger skin coat is top-grade equipment, and this Iron Pagoda armor is a standard equipment that everyone has. Coupled with the "heavy armor" stunt of the Jin civilization, the main body defense of the Iron Pagoda is as high as 49 points, which is considered excellent among the second-level troops.

Now that it has been dropped as a trophy, although it is a little lacking in quality for lords who do not have the Jin civilization, it is also an excellent first-level armor that can greatly enhance survivability and combat capabilities.

Although Xu Yang's rights to obtain three pieces of trophies have been used up, it doesn't matter as he has a lot of such equipment in his personal gains. After all, he destroyed most of the Iron Pagoda by himself, so it is reasonable for him to get several sets of equipment.

However, he did not plan to use it himself, because the armor was too heavy and the attribute bonus was not as good as the tiger skin coat. In the end, it was either thrown away at the trade fair or put in the warehouse for future recruited heroes to use.

The equipment is average, but the weapons are a little surprising.

Refined Ironback Bow

Equipment level: Level 1 (top quality)

Equipment attributes: 30 stabs, 20 physical strength requirement, first-order strong bow LV10, bow and arrow proficiency.

Equipment effect: Armor-breaking (ignore 30% armor protection when attacking armored targets)

Equipment Special Skill: Piercing the Clouds (A full moon on the string, an arrow pierces the clouds, shooting an unparalleled arrow, increasing the damage and range of the weapon + physical strength + strong bow level x2, cooling time hours)

Equipment introduction: Exquisite iron-back bow, made by famous craftsmen of the Jin Dynasty, exclusively for the first meritorious person in the imperial guard army!
……

The best weapon is the bow and arrow. The iron-framed bow that just came into use was soon to be retired.

There is no way. The Iron-framed Bow is a rare weapon, with no added attributes, and the weapon damage is only 20 stab wounds, which is far less than the 30 points of the Refined Ironback Bow, not to mention the two additional special effects of piercing clouds and breaking armor.

But it doesn't matter. Xu Yang will be recruiting heroes soon. The replaced iron-framed bow can be used together with the iron pagoda equipment to arm his heroes, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.

All of these equipment, along with a number of prisoner cards, were put into the space package.

The special equipment baggage cart that exploded from Wanyan Xiyin improved his logistics management skill by three points and came with an extra fifty-grid space package. Adding to the original thirty grids, his current space package has expanded to an astonishing one hundred and forty grids.

Even so, there was no room for so many spoils and captives, and they had to be "carried" several times before they could be brought back to the territory.

But Xu Yang didn't intend to waste his time, and directly cast his gaze towards Zhang Yan: "There are some things I want to discuss with you alone!"

Zhang Yan was stunned when she heard this, and everyone else looked even more shocked. Feng Cheng's eyes dimmed, but he soon became relieved: "I'll go see my little brother. With so much experience, he should be able to level up, right?"

After saying that, he turned and left. Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow him, leaving the space to Xu Yang and the other two.

Although they were on the battlefield and the blood was still there, Zhang Yan was a little nervous about being alone with Xu Yang. She was also looking forward to it. She was shy like a little girl and said timidly, "What's the matter..."

"Are you selling the spirit stones?"

"what!?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Yang. Zhang Yan was startled, then she came back to her senses and looked at him in doubt: "What do you want the spirit stone for?"

"Of course it works!"

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he went straight to the point: "Sell it or not?"

"This one……"

Zhang Yan looked embarrassed: "I have accepted funding from the Student Union. As a condition, I will only trade my spirit stones with them. If they find out, I will sell them to you..."

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged, and he was even more direct: "How much?"

"It's not a matter of money or not."

Zhang Yan shook her head, glanced at the direction where everyone left, and then said to Xu Yang: "I can increase mining and sell you some, but not too much, otherwise the Student Union will definitely pursue it. I don't need you to pay more, I just hope you can sell the Jin Kingdom Horse Farm to me."

"Jin Guo Horse Farm?"

"Yeah!"

As if she was afraid that Xu Yang would refuse, Zhang Yan quickly explained: "Although Song can train cavalry, and even has special cavalry such as Beiwei Heavy Cavalry, there is no horse farm in Song's buildings. Training cavalry requires a lot of extra funds, so I need this Jin horse farm."

There was urgency in his words.

Although they won a great victory in this battle, the price they paid was extremely heavy, especially for her, the lord. More than half of the Song army that she had spent a lot of money to train suffered casualties, and the city defenses were severely destroyed by the catapults built by the enemy. Now only seven of the twenty towers are left.

These made her realize that defending the city was good but not a panacea. She must have a cavalry capable of going out of the city to fight in the field as a countermeasure. Otherwise, if she encountered an opponent who was good at building siege weapons and launched several or even dozens of siege machines to bombard her, she would have to passively take the beating.

Having said that, field troops, especially field troops like heavy cavalry, are the weak point of Song Dynasty civilization. The extra cost of training cavalry is unbearable even for a wealthy woman like her, so she set her sights on the Jin Dynasty's horse farms.

In response to this, Xu Yang simply said: "That's it!"

He agreed very readily.

It's impossible not to be unhappy. The Yellow Turban civilization not only lacks "archers" and other types of troops, it doesn't even have "cavalry".

Therefore, this Jin Kingdom Horse Farm is of little significance to Xu Yang. It is just an economic building with a strong effect.

Lingshi is different...

“Is it this high?”

Looking at the price of spirit stones given by Zhang Yan, Xu Yang was also a little surprised. Zhang Yan smiled, with a hint of pride: "The price of spirit stones is so high. I'm still giving you the internal price for the student union. If you take it to the trading house, the price can be a little higher."

"All right!"

Xu Yang shook his head: "Save the middleman and make a profit. Do you want these weapons and equipment and the hero captives? I want to exchange them all for spirit stones!"

"Yes, of course!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.

As an orthodox charm lord with the "commerce" special effect of the Song Dynasty civilization, business is also one of her income sources.

After all, she has the talent of "Alluring Beauty". Upgrading can gain additional charm attributes and charm skills. Eloquence, trading, and prisoner management are the main added items.

Xu Yang wholesaled these weapons and equipment, heroic captives to her in exchange for spirit stones, and she then took these goods to the Tower of Babel to sell them. She could make a lot of profit in one go and make up for the losses in this war.

How could she refuse this?

After hearing this, Xu Yang decided to sell all the spoils, including the hero contracts (captives) of the Jin generals, to her, except for a few sets of equipment reserved for the heroes.

This was not enough, Xu Yang took out the Ten Thousand Arrows Military Book he had obtained earlier and asked, "Do you want this?"

"Book of war?"

"Ten thousand arrows?"

"Epic legion skill?"

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and she was even more ecstatic, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, how much?"

Xu Yang looked at her, but he was skeptical: "Do you have so many spirit stones now?"

"This one……"

Zhang Yan was startled for a moment, then she came back to her senses and looked at Xu Yang with contempt: "How about we pay in installments? I promise to supply you first, and you can pay it back in a few installments. In addition, I also obtained several rare-level conquest orders in this battle. There is almost no risk of the territory falling in the short term, so we can focus on mining."

"Then the student union..."

"I'll find an excuse to deal with it, don't worry!"

"Then it's settled!"

"..."

In this way, the two of them quickly finalized the spirit stone transaction. Xu Yang wholesaled most of the spoils to Zhang Yan in exchange for a spirit stone installment agreement.

As a result, Xu Yang's only gains from this battle were the tiger talisman, the baggage cart, the epic hero contract, the Jin Kingdom blacksmith shop, the refined ironback bow, and several sets of iron pagodas and the weapons of the imperial guards.

Good things are not about quantity but quality. After packing up the 100 spirit stones that Zhang Yan handed over, Xu Yang turned towards the city wall and was about to take his soldiers back to the territory.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I climbed up the city wall, I saw a young man with freckles all over his face, looking melancholy in the cold wind filled with the smell of blood and burnt food.

"Ayang, I wish you and the squad leader happiness..."

"If you are sick, go get treatment. Is there nothing else on your mind except love and romance?"

He was interrupted before he could finish his words. The young man stood there in a daze. Xu Yang shook his head helplessly and walked towards his soldiers without trying to persuade him further.

Of the thirty Yellow Turban infantrymen, only nine are left. This is the result of Xu Yang intentionally protecting them and not letting them fight on the front line.

There is no way, the Yellow Turban troops are just too rubbish!

Fortunately, as a civilized military force, they also have special ranks.

Xu Yang waved his hand and turned the remaining Yellow Turban infantry into cards. He then returned to the Tower of Babel and then returned to his own territory world to release them for upgrades.

In this way...

Yellow Turban Infantry
Soldier Rank: First Level (Volunteer)

Soldier attributes: 18 physical strength, 5 intelligence, 3 charm.

Specialty of Soldier Class: Yellow Turban

Soldier skills: Level 5 physical strength LV5, level 5 strong attack LV5, level foot combat LV, level shield defense LV, one-handed weapon proficiency

Soldier equipment: Yellow Turban Iron Helmet, Yellow Turban Iron Armor, Yellow Turban Rattan Shield, Yellow Turban Ring-handled Sword.

Introduction to the troops: Yellow Turban volunteers, the bravery of the righteous army!

……

His physical strength increased to 18 points, and his combat skills and weapons and equipment were also enhanced, but overall he was still weak and was third-rate among the special-level civilized soldiers.

So, here comes the problem!

As a civilization, the Yellow Turbans are so weak and powerless. They only have two basic types of soldiers: sword and shield soldiers and spearmen. There are no archers, no cavalry, and not even many civilized buildings. Apart from the core building of the Yellow Turban Camp, there is only a Yellow Turban Parade Ground (barracks).

Other buildings like taverns, city walls, arrow towers, blacksmith shops, and lumberyards are all common buildings in the Tower of Babel.

Look at the Jin Dynasty, with its imperial guards, iron pagoda horses, and civilized buildings like horse farms and blacksmith shops. The gap between them is huge.

So, the Yellow Turban civilization is at the bottom of the first-tier civilizations, a waste that is eight miles away from powerful civilizations like the Jin Dynasty?

wrong!
The Yellow Turban Civilization was not only not the bottom civilization, but also the top existence among the first-level civilizations, and was even above powerful civilizations such as the Song and Jin Dynasties.

because……

Taiping Temple

Building Type: First Order (Wonder of Civilization)

Building Civilization: Yellow Turbans (Taiping Daoism)

Building special effects: Huang Tian Dang Li (You can train the Yellow Turban Warriors and Taiping Warlocks, a certain number of Yellow Turban Warriors and Taiping Warlocks will be automatically obtained every month, and a certain number of Yellow Turban Talismans will be produced)

Construction requirements: The number of Yellow Turbans reaches 10000, 20000 units of wood, 5000 units of stone, 2000 units of iron ingots, and 500 units of spirit stones.

Introduction to the building: The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established. In the year of Jiazi, the world is auspicious. The great and virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao obtained three volumes of the Taiping Heavenly Book, and established the Taiping Dao with the law of gods and men. The Taiping Temple is its symbol, and it is the place where the Yellow Turbans originated. It is said to be protected by the power of the Taiping Huangtian.

Special note: This building is a wonder of the Yellow Turban civilization. Once construction begins, a small group of "Han Dynasty" troops will appear in the territory to destroy it. After construction is completed, a large Han Dynasty army will appear to attack it. Thereafter, a large Han Dynasty army will attack your territory every month, and all territories of the Han Dynasty civilization can launch an expedition against your territory. A successful expedition will bring significant rewards.

……

Taiping Temple is a wonder of civilization. It is also the basis for the Yellow Turban Civilization to change its destiny and surpass powerful civilizations such as Song and Jin in the first level.

Do you know what the value of a magician is?
Yellow Turban Warriors and Taiping Magicians are both "magic" troops!
Archers, cavalry, light armor and heavy armor are nothing compared to magic troops. This is the summary of experience of countless lords of the Tower of Babel over millions of years.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the strength of the Yellow Turbans.

The construction cost of this wonder...
