Chapter 1197 Rules, Vertical and Horizontal Combination

Chu Tian carefully read the rules of the Seventh National War. This time, just like the Fourth National War, the battlefield was in the main world, and the rules were also very different from the past.

First, the qualifications to participate in the national war: Lords whose territory has a population greater than 5 million will participate in this national war as an alliance.

Second, the national war battlefield: the main world.

Third, alliance rules: before the start of the national war, the lords who are qualified to participate in the national war voluntarily form an alliance and register with the system. The lords of the alliance are not limited to the same civilization.

Fourth, the rules for obtaining points: Lords of the same alliance can obtain points by attacking the cities and armies of other alliances.

Specific points table: Capture a royal city to earn 500,000 points; capture a huge city to gain 200,000 points; capture a large city to gain 100,000 points; capture a medium city to gain 20,000 points; capture a small city to gain 20,000 points. 10,000 points can be obtained. After the city is lost, the points gained disappear.

Killing level 1-4 troops can earn 1-4 points; killing level 5-6 arms can earn 5-10 points; killing level 7-9 arms can earn 20-80 points; killing Level 10 troops can earn 300 points.

Killing a saint-level hero will earn you 500,000 points; killing an emperor-level hero will earn you 100,000 points; killing a king-level hero will earn you 20,000 points; killing heroes of other levels will earn you fewer points.

Different alliances cannot maliciously brush each other's cities, otherwise all points will be cancelled.

Fifth, lords in an alliance are not allowed to attack each other, otherwise the popularity of the power will drop by 100%, but they are allowed to do nothing.

Sixth, for the first-ranked alliance, all lords will receive points × 2; for the second-ranked alliance, all lords will receive points × 1.8; for the third-ranked alliance, all lords will receive points × 1.5; for the fourth-ranked alliance, all lords will receive points ×1.2.

Seventh, based on calculations based on the alliance ranking and the alliance's internal ranking, the first lord of the alliance ranked first will definitely obtain the Holy Level Recruitment Order. The second ranked alliance and the first lord may obtain the Holy Level Recruitment Order.

Eighth, points will be officially calculated starting from the first day of the next month.

Ninth, reward settlement time: one year.

…

Chu Tian now probably understands the meaning of the theme of the Seventh National War, "Unite vertically and horizontally".

In the past, national wars basically relied on the personal abilities of each lord, but this time, they relied on the power of the alliance.

Even if you are ranked first in points, if your alliance is not ranked first, you will not be guaranteed to obtain the Holy Level Recruitment Order.

In addition, the league ranking will determine the final points.

If the lord gets 1 million points, and the alliance ranks first, then the actual total points is 2 million, and the alliance ranks fourth, the actual total points is only 1.2 million.

This means that if you want to get good things in this national war, you must consider forming an alliance.

However, the matter of forming an alliance stumped Chu Tian.

Chutian fought fiercely with various civilizations, and had just violently defeated the neighboring Japanese shogunate, destroying the Great Viet Kingdom. Siam and Chenla were on the verge of destruction, and various small countries were trembling.

As for the western lords, the relationship between Chutian and them was extremely bad. Both Alexander and Constantine regarded Chutian as a powerful enemy in the east.

It is impossible for them to cooperate with themselves.

In particular, only the top ranked lord within the alliance can get the best rewards. With the arrogance of Alexander and Constantine, it is impossible for them to cooperate with Chutian and then give the best rewards to Chutian.

This is also the subtlety of the "joint vertical and horizontal" strategy of the Seventh National War.

When a powerful lord forms an alliance, it is easy to be ranked first. However, when a group of powerful lords form an alliance, only one can be ranked first in the alliance.

If you work alone, you can firmly occupy the first position internally, but it will be difficult for the alliance to rank first.

The ideal situation is for a powerful suzerain country to form an alliance with a group of subordinates.

However, the tribute system has been destroyed by Chutian, so Chutian is out of tune with the surrounding small countries, and it is impossible for Chutian to join forces with them again.

"Only Ekaterina can be trusted. She is fighting against the Crusaders and can gain a lot of points, which will be included in the alliance points."

At present, Chutian basically only considers Ekaterina.

Ekaterina single-handedly held back the Crusaders of Hohenzollern, Gustav, Louis and others, which is evident to the fighting nation. If they form an alliance with her, then their combined points will definitely be high.

As for other civilizations…

It is basically impossible for powerful lords such as Alexander, Constantine, and Marshall to cooperate with Chu Tian.

Even if some weak lords come to seek refuge, Chu Tian suspects that they just want a free ride and cannot contribute many points at all.

The points contributed by Ekaterina alone are estimated to be several times more than those of these little lords combined.

The Egyptian and Persian civilizations were originally potential targets, but unfortunately they were destroyed by the Roman Empire and the Ilkhanate.

Chutian, which is located in the east, is beyond reach. It wants to support Egypt and Persia through the Golden Family, but the gain outweighs the loss.

"Will Alexander and the others join forces with Marshall? If they form an alliance with Marshall, the number one position within the alliance may be given to Marshall. Will Alexander, Constantine, Caesar and others be willing?"

Chutian is judging the main competitors and their choices.

If the Crusaders and the Maritime Alliance join forces to form a larger alliance, Chutian believes that he is not the opponent of these lords combined.

However, if the strong form alliances and powerful lords huddle together, the average reward is not high. Because the rewards of the second-ranked alliance and the first lord are better than the rewards of the first-ranked alliance and the second lord.

How the other lords weighed the situation was their business. Chutian immediately sent someone to ask Yekaterina for an alliance.

On the outskirts of the ancient city of Jerusalem, Constantine, Caesar, and Pompey commanded the Roman legions. Together with King Charles of England and Queen Isabella of Spain, they formed the Eastern Crusade and marched to the city.

The Arab Empire currently controls Jerusalem.

The Seventh National War broke out suddenly, causing Constantine, Caesar, Pompey, Charles, and Isabella to temporarily give up attacking Jerusalem.

"It would be a huge disadvantage to capture Jerusalem in advance before the points are officially calculated."

Constantine was well aware of the gains and losses involved.

Although the Arab Empire had the holy commander Khalid, Constantine also had the holy commander Hannibal.

In addition, Constantine also had famous Roman generals such as Scipio the Great, Scipio the Younger, and Marius.

He was not very worried about reinforcements from the Arab Empire.

"Should we maintain our current alliance or form a new one?"

Pompey secretly observed the reactions of the other lords.

According to the rules of this national war, for Chu Tian, ​​who has no friends, only Ekaterina is reliable, but for the Western lords, they have many choices.

Charles of England joined both the Crusaders and the Maritime League. At this time, he had to reconsider which camp he was on.

Or, the Crusaders and Maritime Alliance merge.

There are also many lords within the Crusaders who can be divided.

At this time, the Western lords had many choices.

Constantine said: "None of us is Chu Zimou's opponent. Only by forming an alliance can we surpass him in total points. It is best to continue to maintain the Crusade. As for the number one within the Crusade, let's see Who will do more in the next year?"

Charlie's expression was not very good: "Constantine, within the Crusaders, it is very likely that you or Alexander will win the first place. You just want to get our help and let the Crusaders come to the front."

"Do you have any better choice? The Great Xia Dynasty swept through the surrounding small countries. Only by maintaining the scale of the Crusade can it withstand the whip of God from the east."

Constantine's words silenced Charles of England and Isabella of Spain.

Constantine's point of view does have some truth.

If the Crusaders are maintained, Rome or Macedonia may benefit, but after disbanding and participating in national wars, Chutian will most likely benefit.

Taking into account the interests of Rome, Caesar believed that it was necessary to let Rome take the lead in the Crusade: "To maintain the Crusade, everyone depends on their military merits."

"Unfortunately, I still choose the Maritime Alliance. The Maritime Alliance is willing to give me more benefits."

Charles of England sided with the Maritime League.

The Kingdom of England is located on the edge of the Western Continent, surrounded by the sea, and its relationship with the United States will become closer.

Meanwhile, Charles of England glances at Queen Isabella of Spain.

Queen Isabella, like King Charles, is both a member of the Crusaders and a member of the Maritime Alliance. In this national war, she must take sides.

Her alignment with Charles of England may determine the ranking of the Crusaders, the Maritime Alliance, and even the ranking of all alliances in the entire main world.

Joining the Maritime Alliance means that the total points of the Maritime Alliance will increase; joining the Crusaders means that the total points of the Crusaders will increase.

Isabella was in a dilemma: "I haven't decided yet."

"It is better to merge the Maritime Alliance into the Crusaders. We will definitely surpass the Great Xia Dynasty. There will be no accidents."

With sharp eyes, Constantine attempted to merge the powerful Maritime Alliance into the Crusaders.

The Maritime Alliance has the most powerful navy in the world of lords and spans the four seas, so it is called the "Maritime Alliance".

The merger of the Maritime Alliance and the Crusaders will create a terrifying force.

Charlie shook his head: "Marshall wants the position of First Alliance and First Lord, and he will not be willing to be inferior to others."

"His ambition is no different from Chu Zimou's."

Constantine also knew that Marshall, as a player, dominated the American Civilization Zone, and the competition within the Crusaders was extremely fierce.

Inside the Crusaders, Alexander, Constantine, Caesar, Hohenzollern, Gustavus, and Louis were all on the hill.

"Inform Alexander and Hohenzollern and ask for their opinions."

Constantine sent an envoy from Rome, fearing that Alexander and Hohenzollern would fight among themselves at a critical moment.

After conquering Armenia and other small kingdoms, Alexander went south to attack Damascus and received Constantine's envoy.
