Chapter 202: Heavenly Granting of Title
"You won't kill me?" Cang Ao was very surprised.
Qin Mo said: "Bring your tribe to submit to me and I will spare your life, otherwise..."
"What else?" Cang Ao asked cautiously.
"Otherwise I'll chop you all up and feed you to the wolves."
“…”
Cang Ao swallowed subconsciously. He realized that Qin Mo was actually more brutal than him.
His cruelty was written all over his face, very straightforwardly, whereas Qin Mo's cruelty was engraved in his bones. Killing one person was a piece of cake for him, and killing a group of people was also a piece of cake for him.
It doesn't get stuck in your mind at all.
That makes people feel cold, as if all living beings are ants.
"I, I obey." Cang Ao decided to give in.
"Then take your people back, and I will come to find you later." Qin Mo said.
"Aren't you afraid that we will run away?" Cang Ao was surprised.
"You can try." Qin Mo said lightly.
“…”
Cang Ao didn't dare to try it and led the team back to the tribe obediently.
…
Seeing Cang Ao and his party leave, Qin Mo turned around, looked at the wizard and others, and said with a smile: "Look, now, am I qualified to be the chief of the Shanhai Tribe?"
But he laid his cards on the table and no longer hid anything.
Everyone looked at each other.
Letting an outsider, who is not even a barbarian, be the tribal leader does not seem to be in line with the barbarian tradition.
" If the messenger of God is willing, that would be great." The wizard Heitu said with a smile.
Tradition or something is bullshit when it comes to life and death.
Not worth a penny.
The wizard knew very well that without Qin Mo, the Shanhai tribe would sooner or later be torn apart by the surrounding tribes.
In this way, Qin Mo, with the "support" of everyone, successfully became the new patriarch of the Shanhai tribe.
A ceremony was held in the ancestral temple that day.
At that moment, the long-awaited prompt sound rang in Qin Mo's mind.
"After being appointed as the chief of the Shanhai Tribe, you can activate the Jiuzhou Ding. Do you want to activate it?"
"activation!"
Qin Mo did not hesitate.
"Activating..."
"Please choose a place and build a teleportation array."
Qin Mo thought about it and decided to build the teleportation array on an open space in the northern suburbs of the Shanhai tribal city. Anyway, the teleportation array was guarded by the golden-armored generals, so there was no need to worry about it being destroyed.
"The site selection for the teleportation array has been completed and construction is underway..."
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the northern suburbs, and a standard teleportation array appeared.
Qin Mo set the teleportation array to be open only to Blackwater City in order to minimize outside interference with the Shanhai Tribe and reduce its exposure.
He is still a wanted criminal in Qin State.
"The construction of the teleportation array is complete..."
"The Nine Provinces Tripod is bound, the Luck is bound, the Mountain and Sea Tribe is bound..."
"The Heavenly Dao grants the title, and the evaluation is in progress..."
"Confer the title of Baron, +500,000 experience points."
"The condition for promotion to Viscount is to control a county."
A series of prompt sounds finally revealed a corner of the secret of the Jiuzhou Ding.
really,
Only by holding the Jiuzhou Ding can one share the fortune of the human race in this world.
Just like Qin Mo now, if he didn't have the Jiuzhou Ding, even if he was the patriarch of the Shanhai Tribe, he would not be able to receive the title granted by Heaven.
You will also not be able to share (earn) luck (experience points).
Even if other players obtain titles in other vassal states, there will be no experience value rewards. The only way to earn experience points is to serve as an official or as a guest official.
There is no other way.
only,
500,000 experience points are just a drop in the bucket for Qin Mo now.
He needs to expand his strength rapidly.
To achieve this, it is impossible for him or the Shanhai Tribe to do it alone. What Qin Mo needs to rely on is the power of Blackwater City.
Going around in circles, it seems like another reincarnation.
During the establishment of Blackwater City, Qin Mo relied on the power of the Three Kingdoms subcontinent. Now, he wants to use Blackwater City to feed back the hegemony of the Warring States subcontinent.
When he achieves success in the future, he will be able to give back to Blackwater City again.
Form a virtuous interaction.
After saying hello to the wizard Heitu, Qin Mo walked into the teleportation array.
…
Blackwater City.
As soon as Qin Mo appeared, he was stopped by Li Bingyun, who asked worriedly, "I heard that you were killed by Shang Jun?"
This matter has become a hot topic.
Especially since Qin Mo disappeared mysteriously again, it caused even greater concern. Zhou Shihong contacted Li Bingyun several times and asked people to report Qin Mo immediately if he appeared.
Qin Mo is now the mainstay of Tianshu.
There is no room for error.
"Yes, I was a little injured." Qin Mo said.
"It's good that you're not dead."
“…”
"How did you get back? I heard that the Qin State has deployed people in teleportation arrays everywhere, and the King of Qin has even issued a death order to kill you without mercy." Li Bingyun said.
The State of Qin made a great effort to ambush Qin Mo, but Qin Mo managed to escape, and he escaped from Shang Jun. Qin lost face in front of other vassal states and became a laughing stock.
King Zheng of Qin was furious.
"Let's not talk about this."
Qin Mo's plan was completely disrupted because he was wanted by the Qin State.
He originally planned to guide the players into the tribe after settling down.
Now, in order to prevent the emergence of traitors among the players who would leak his whereabouts to the Qin State in exchange for a high bounty, this plan had to be shelved temporarily.
Although Li Bingyun can be trusted, the people who follow her cannot be guaranteed to be 100% reliable.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
Qin Mo rarely convened civil and military officials to discuss matters. He sat at the head of the table, with Jia Xu and Xun Yu sitting on the left, and Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun sitting on the right.
"Everyone, there is a more challenging undertaking now. Are you interested in participating?" Qin Mo said.
Xu Chu grinned, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time!" They followed him from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent. Practicing cultivation is one thing, but they also want to achieve hegemony.
But Blackwater City is of this size, so there is really limited room for development.
I'm almost going crazy.
"That's good."
Qin Mo smiled and gave a brief introduction to the situation of the Warring States subcontinent and the mountain and sea tribes.
After listening,
Jia Xu did not rush to express his opinion, but asked: "What is the ultimate goal that my lord wants to achieve?"
"Naturally, it is to unify the world."
“…”
Jia Xu was speechless.
Starting from a remote tribe, he actually wanted to compete with other countries and unify the world. If it wasn't Qin Mo who said this, Jia Xu would definitely think that he was a lunatic.
"Don't look at me like that." Qin Mo was calm. "I didn't say I wanted to become fat in one go. I'll take it step by step. The most important thing right now is to subdue the barbarian tribes in the Chuting area and establish a stable rear base."
"Then, my lord, have you already grasped the intelligence about the Chuting area?" Jia Xu asked tentatively .
"No."
“…”
Having such a lord, Jia Xu felt a bit of a headache.
Qin Mo smiled and said, "This is my plan. Blackwater City will be left to Wen Ruo to guard, and Wen He and you will follow me to the Shanhai Tribe to take command. How do you think?"
Having reached his level of cultivation, he is really impatient to deal with overly specific matters.
What else could Jia Xu do except nod in agreement?
As a subordinate,
Isn't it a destiny to be hard-working?
"As for the army." Qin Mo looked at the four generals, all of whom were eager to try.
Even the experienced Huang Zhong.
All four of them were born generals. Even if they had made some achievements in their practice, their final destination in life was still on the battlefield. They would rather die on the battlefield than sit idle.
"Except Zhao Yun who stays behind, the other three will go." Qin Mo said.
"Yes, sir!"
Xu Chu, Huang Zhong and Gao Shun stood up and saluted, looking excited.
Only Zhao Yun felt a little disappointed.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun had a calm personality and knew that someone needed to stay behind in Heishui City, so he did not force it.
That's how it was settled.
The next step is to discuss the specific action plan, but this cannot be decided in one meeting. It requires collecting more detailed intelligence as well as detailed calculations and planning.
…
A week later, Jia Xu reported to Qin Mo alone.
"Do you understand the situation clearly?" Qin Mo asked with a smile.
"Yes." Jia Xu nodded.
"Tell me about it."
Jia Xu said: "In the entire Chuting area, there are eight small tribes with less than 10,000 people, three medium-sized tribes with more than 10,000 and less than 50,000 people, and one large tribe with more than 50,000 and less than 100,000 people.
"Among the three medium-sized tribes, the lord has already conquered the Shanhai Tribe and subdued the Cangqing Tribe. The rest still need to be conquered one by one."
"How about I visit them one by one?" Qin Mo didn't mind being a thug.
Jia Xu shook his head: "I don't recommend doing this."
"reason?"
"My lord, if you want to truly achieve hegemony in the Warring States subcontinent, you must suppress people with force and win them over with virtue. Especially the latter, relying solely on force will only make the barbarians submit in words but not in their hearts." Jia Xu said.
"Then how can I be convinced?"
"To put it bluntly, the barbarian way of resolving disputes is tribal warfare," Jia Xu said. "Only by defeating them head- on and using their own way can we make them truly surrender."
"Tell me how many Black Water Troops we need to dispatch." Qin Mo said.
"It's better not to have any." Jia Xu shook his head. "If our main force is the Black Water Army, then the attacked tribe will just regard it as an invasion by a foreign race, and the nature of the war will change again."
"Is it so complicated?" Qin Mo rubbed his forehead, "Does it have to be done this way?"
"Yes, it must be done this way." Jia Xu insisted, "It may be difficult at first, but once the situation is opened up, it will be a natural progression and unstoppable."
"Then do as you say."
Qin Mo still has great confidence in Jia Xu's strategy.
Jia Xu was grateful in his heart. The greatest happiness for a counselor was to meet a lord who could listen to his advice. And with Qin Mo's current cultivation status, he could still do this, which was even more precious.
"Although it is not advisable to send out troops, Blackwater City can provide support with food, fodder, bows and crossbows and other supplies, which can also play a key role in the war," Jia Xu added.
"Are there enough supplies in Blackwater City?" Qin Mo asked.
"Very sufficient." Jia Xu said.
We have been operating for nearly ten years and have not been slacking off.
"Then I'll take care of everything." Qin Mo bowed.
Jia Xu was moved, returned the salute, and said solemnly: "I will definitely fulfill my mission."
