…

The battle for the Three Prefectures of Zhenxun City ended, causing a big change in the list of meritorious deeds.

In a long list of meritorious deeds, Shen Zhui's meritorious service is outstanding, far ahead of the second place with nearly 200 million meritorious service.

Long Qie, who was originally second, suddenly dropped to fourth place, overtaken by Ji Chang and Wei Tianlong.

Chen Jiang, the leader of Luoshan Zhai Zhai, and Xun Ye, the leader of Zhiyuan Zhai Zhai, came from behind and overcame the Alien Alliance and Liang Wangfu to squeeze into the top ten.

However, this ranking is not even considered barely adequate for the student alliance, which has the inherent advantages of location and people.

It came from the secret realm of Daxia Academy, but outsiders took the lead.

If Shen Zhui hadn't come from Liangzhou, was Lu Yuanwei's disciple, and had some connection with the Daxia Academy, and could be regarded as half an academy member, otherwise all the students participating in the competition for the secret realm would be ashamed. A crack got in.

Of course, this level of relationship is exactly what some people are unwilling to mention.

The other forces were more or less lamenting this defeat, while the three major frontier armies were completely elated.

Especially those in the Wu'an Army who participated in this secret realm!

Because the number one player, Shen Zhui, is from Wu'an Army! He crushed all geniuses with absolute superiority. Under his leadership, countless people benefited from this.

Among the top ten alone, Shen Zhui occupied four places!

And if this range is expanded to the top twenty, the advantage becomes even more terrifying.

Nine of the top twenty people on the merit list belong to the three major frontier armies! It is not an exaggeration to say that they account for half of the country!

Moreover, the further back you look, the greater this advantage becomes.

"Damn it!" Hai Qing, who became more and more angry as he watched, slapped the table, "I'm so unlucky this time, I fell from third place to thirteenth place!"

"Can this Shen Zhui be given a way to survive?"

"He has to attack the city of Xun first, and can't he attack the city of Yangzhai first?"

"Didn't you say that this guy has a grudge against the people in Prince Liang's Mansion?" Hai Qing sat on the chair and sulked.

What a bully!

The four major royal cities are Yangzhai, Shangqiu, Luncheng and Zhenlu.

Next to each royal city are three palace cities.

After reaching a certain level of official rank, if you want to improve tasks, you must control the main city tasks inside and outside the capital city.

However……

The total amount of tasks is fixed, which was summarized by the adventurers a year ago.

The more cities you control, the more big tasks you can do.

If others have more on their side, they should have less on their side.

Shen Zhui's development was too fast. Shen Zhui captured the three prefectures of Shangqiu City early. Not only that, he also reached out to the three prefectures of Shenxun City.

Now Shen Zhui not only owns three prefectures in Shangqiu City, but also takes one in Zhenxun City.

One person can own the land of four cities! There are only twelve cities in the entire secret realm!

With so many prefectures and cities under construction, how can we not complete tasks quickly?

Long Qie and Hai Qing were originally ranked second and third in the merit list, but due to Shen Zhui's interference, they have each lost several places!

"Why are you yelling at me?" Long Qie glanced at him.

"Aren't I afraid of being criticized by my father when I go back?" Hai Qing muttered.

"Then how about you defect now?" Long Qie said calmly. "Reveal your identity as the Kyoto transport envoy. That Shen Zhui is the Shenwei General of the Wu'an Army. Your father serves in the Ministry of War, so he is the superior of his superior."

"Maybe in order to please me, they let you go through the back door."

"Huh? What you said seems to be really..." Hai Qing actually thought about it seriously. Seeing Long Qie's ugly face, he coughed lightly and said righteously: "...It's really ridiculous! Long Qie, you're killing me. Who is Qingdang? Am I that kind of person?"

"Hmph." Long Qie snorted coldly and ignored this fat-faced guy.

"But having said that, we two brothers are in a miserable situation now." Hai Qing sighed. "Even Wei Tianlong and Ji Chang have risen up. I'm afraid it will be ugly when we go back this time."

"Long Qi, tell me the truth, can we still be saved?"

"I don't have high demands. I don't want to surpass Shen Zhui. I just want my butt to sit on Ji Chang's head." Hai Qing gritted his teeth.

Ji Chang and Wei Tianlong both intervened in the fight for the three palaces in Zhenxing City, but Hai Qing hated Ji Chang even more, because now one of the three palaces was robbed by Ji Chang.

"Yes." Long Qie said.

"Huh? Is it really true?" Hai Qing was stunned and stood up excitedly. "Say it quickly."

"You go find Shen Zhui."

"..." Hai Qing sat back on the chair again. "Can you please stop making fun of what I just said?"

Seeing Long Qie staring at him seriously, Hai Qing suddenly asked suspiciously: "Are you serious? Then you just..."

"There is no other way." Long Qie shook his head and said. "If it weren't for the voice of rules that blocked Shen Zhui for so long, we wouldn't be able to hold on now."

"That time was the last chance for the others, but he sorted out the 'civil strife' too quickly... Now, neither I, Wei Tianlong, nor Ji Chang have a chance to make a comeback. As for Xia Feng from Prince Liang's Mansion, , Mud can't hold up the wall, let alone that. Shen Zhui doesn't have to do anything now, he can maintain his advantage until the end of the secret realm."

Long Qie said with some emotion: "One step at a time, one step at a time. In the past two days, I have carefully studied the process of this person's rise. Every step he takes is too much ahead of the others."

"Now that the war has just ended and the battle has been defeated, how can Shen Zhui easily share the benefits with us?" Hai Qing became worried instead.

"So be quick!" Long Qie said calmly. "You go there with that information. With this information to open the way, I believe you should be able to sell the adventurers in Shenxun City at a good price."

"..."

…………

Shangqiu City, Si Chai Shu Chang's Mansion.

Shen Zhui stood in the side hall and looked up at the map in front of him.

It shows the four major royal cities and the twelve palace cities, as well as many boundary passages that have been discovered so far.

These realm passages connect the demon world, and a large number of Zhenwen demon tribes appear every day, all of which have high-level military exploits. It can be regarded as a special arrangement by Daxia Academy to earn meritorious service for future adventurers.

As the commander of the chariot, he no longer has to kill the monsters himself, because just ordering a large number of Zhenwen soldiers under his command to dispatch can bring him extremely terrifying military exploits.

There are fourteen gates in the four prefectures. Shen Zhui does nothing now to ensure that this advantage does not suddenly collapse.

"Brother Shen." A tall figure walked in, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and jade trees facing the wind. It was Lan Chenguang.

"Brother Lan, you're here, sit down." Shen Zhui smiled slightly and quickly asked Lan Chenguang to sit down. Lan Chenguang left a lot of impressions on him.

During the difficult period when the contract disappeared, there were six Daliang Zao who tried to split the forces of the border army. The first person they found was Lan Chenguang, the grandson of the Divine Sword Marquis. Taking him as the leader and spreading rumors, only Lan Chenguang has the qualifications to continue to lead the adventurer forces to make profits in the secret realm.

In the end, Lan Chenguang traveled all night and night to Chaotian Mansion and used his actions to show his support for Shen Zhui, causing the split to be stifled from the beginning.

If it weren't for Lan Chenguang, Shen Zhui probably wouldn't have been able to get through the difficulty so easily that time.

Shen Zhui also knew how to reciprocate the favor and gave Lan Chenguang full trust. All the lands in the two mansions were controlled by Lan Chenguang, freeing up many realm passages to increase the speed of Lan Chenguang's accumulation of military exploits.

According to the current situation, Lan Chenguang, who is temporarily ranked seventh, is very likely to be among the top five in the final ranking!

The two of them sat down together. Lan Chenguang didn't show any politeness and went straight to the point: "Brother Shen, there is someone I think you should meet."

"Oh? Who deserves Brother Lan to be so solemn?" Shen Zhui asked with a smile.

"Hai Qing." Lan Chenguang said. "His father is Haige, the transfer envoy from Kyoto. He is responsible for the logistics materials sent to Nanman and the East China Sea in the Ministry of War. Although he is only in the realm of the Venerable, Master Hai's status is higher than that of ordinary princes and kings. It's still high, my father served as an official under this Lord Hai for five years."

Lan Chenguang explained Hai Qing's origin clearly in a few words.

"Transporter Hagrid?" Shen Zhui nodded. The Ministry of War is in charge of military operations all over the world, so the position of transporter can be regarded as a high-level figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
