Chapter 722-Ban

Out of the regimes in history that had Chengdu as its imperial city, the most influential would be Shu Han.

Liu Bei was also a relative of the Han imperial family and was in the proper line of succession. He represented the East Han Emperor and appeared in the wilderness. He had more speaking power than both Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

The number of strong generals under him was enough to defend it.

All factors considered, Gaia chose to put him there. Cao Cao and Sun Quan could just back out from the stage of history and seclude themselves in god knows what corner of the wilderness.

Probably one day they would be found by players and trigger some hidden quest.

After the system notification, Gaia immediately sent out a hotfix regarding the actions of Caiyun Xinan and the others.

Gaia ruled that if the Lords did anything detrimental to their own camp, their battle contribution points would become negative.

As for what constituted detrimental, Gaia would decide and did not give a specific description. With Gaia's intelligence, it would not make an incorrect judgement.

After this, not only would the Lords be sent out of the battle map if they acted up, the teleportation costs would also be paid out of the Lord's own pocket.

Moreover, the soldiers that the Lord lost in the battle could not be revived.

To make matters worse, if Gaia judged a Lord's actions as a negative act, it would ban the player from the next battle map based on the severity.

This ban could last from one to three battle maps.

During the entire game period, China would have a little more than 10 battle maps. The Battle of Red Cliff was already the sixth one.

To be banned because of such reasons was exceedingly cruel to the players.

As for the actions of Caiyun Zinan and the others during the Battle of Red Cliff, Gaia did not take any action. Gaia's principle was that before any hotfix came out any loophole could be made us of.

Be it Ouyang Shuo or other players, they had all made use of system loopholes before.

Caiyun Zinan and the rest were not exceptions.

...

At this point, the Battle of Red Cliff had finally come to an end.

Returning to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo passed Zhou Yu and Jia Xu over to Du Ruhui to let him bring them to familiarize themselves with the military structure and system of Shanhai City.

Since he had just arrived at the main map, even Zhou Yu needed time to adapt.

Ouyang Shuo believed that Shanhai City's strength would shock Zhou Yu and the others, and their loyalty would also greatly increase.

As for his arrangements for them, Ouyang Shuo would hold a military meeting tomorrow to settle it all at the same time.

As for Diao Chan, Song Jia would welcome her.

...

That afternoon, after Liu Bei acted after he had just entered the main map for half a day.

The Shu Han imperial court announced that Shanhai City was their enemy. Anything that related to Shanhai City would need to be removed in three days.

If not, they would be forcefully seized and closed down.

If he was not restricted by the system rules, Liu Bei would have sent troops to flatten the Shanhai City office in the imperial city to vent his hatred.

With that, Shanhai City became the first territory to be listed as an enemy of an imperial city.

It could be considered a legend.

The moment the news went out, the players were in an uproar.

Di Chen and the others were gloating while the Shanhai Alliance members were feeling depressed.

Anyone could guess that apart from the Shanhai City office, the Four Seas Bank branch would also be affected and needed to be removed.

With that, Huitong Bank received a huge favor as it could swallow up the Chengdu market.

It seemed like Ouyang Shuo needed to think of a way to console and make peace with the guild allies in Chengdu.

Although this would not hurt the four seas bank badly, it would suffer some losses. No matter what, it had just lost 1/9th of its market.

Luckily, China had nine imperial cities; if not, Ouyang Shuo would really cry.

...

The other players were just there for the fun.

What the players truly cared about was the meaning behind all of this. Liu Bei directly acting against Shanhai City meant that the interference of imperial cities on players was growing stronger and stronger.

The presence of the imperial city was not a cloudy question mark but a real dynasty. They had their own feelings, their own stand, and their own camp.

If their stands were different, they would point their blades at the players.

To Lords, especially those near the imperial cities, they needed to act warier. Such Lords were not small in number.

Di Chen, Zhan Lang, Chun Shenjun, Wandering Magic, and Sha Pojun all had such problems. If Shanhai City took down Yunnan Province, it would also have to face Dali.
