Chapter 82: A Letter from Ah Cheng

A month has passed, and now most of the students have begun to make bows and arrows, and the success rate is much higher than before, almost 30%. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSun Xiang estimates that it should be able to increase by 15 to 20 percentage points in another month. As proficiency increases, so does the success rate, but there is definitely a tipping point. When the time comes, it will depend on their respective talents and understandings.

After the last incident, the Seventh Princess never came to class again, and the royal family sent another student to replace the Seventh Princess. Sun Xiang didn't care at all.

Astor City sent a long letter, informing Sun Xiang of all the things that happened during this time, and also asking Sun Xiang for his next arrangement.

Now the city of Astor has begun to become bustling. In addition to the capital, thirteen states have set up teleportation arrays with Astor City, and these states are optimistic about the specialty wine and porcelain of Astor City. With the erection of these teleportation arrays, the sales of wine and porcelain in Astor City became better and better, and the fame grew. In turn, more business alliances began to set up in Astor City, and although they lost their agency rights, they could still return to the local area to earn the difference in price through retail purchases.

At the same time, these merchant alliances would also bring special goods from all over the empire and even the mainland to Astor City for sale, which greatly promoted the development of trade in Astor City.

As trade in Astor City grew, the city's population began to swell, now reaching nearly one million, double the number it had just a year ago. The expansion of the population has brought about the appreciation of land, houses and other assets in Astor City, and the living conditions of the indigenous people of Astor City have been greatly improved. Although it has also brought about some price increases and security problems, they are all within the controllable range.

The garrison of Astor City has reached 4,000 men, and it has strong combat effectiveness in terms of equipment and training. The strength of the Great Swordsman has reached six, and one of them is still a Great Mage. The only thing lacking is a high-end martial artist above the sword master level.

According to Sun Xiang's instructions, in the past half a year, they have never given up on reinforcing the magic array of Astor City. They spent a lot of money, and even went to the capital of the empire to invite those well-known magic array masters of the empire to go to Astor City and repeatedly reinforce Astor City. The Sun family also helped a lot inside, and several well-known array mages were invited by the second master of the Sun family.

Although the current Astor City cannot be said to be impregnable, it is far beyond the average state capital city.

As for the defense of Astor City, Sun Xiang is habitual. In Shenzhou, the Shushan Sect's Mountain Protection Array is famous in the world of cultivating immortals, ensuring the absolute safety of the Shushan Sect, and also allowing the people in the sect to cultivate and live with peace of mind.

The situation in Baleno City and Kenneth City is also improving. These two cities are mainly engaged in magic materials, and now the Imperial Demon Martial Arts Academy and the four super families have suddenly entered these two cities, established strongholds, and hoarded a large number of magic materials. And the empire's taxes on these two cities were also offset by the equivalent value of Warcraft materials. The sudden change made many sensitive businessmen smell the business opportunity and began to follow suit. As a result, the two cities began to prosper.

The Tuoba family, the Huyan family, and the Zhao family of Kenneth City rose to the top, and their strength increased greatly. The Tuoba family and the Huyan family also began to strengthen the construction of garrisons and city defenses according to Sun Xiang's suggestions.

Kenneth City has just concluded the election of the city lord, and the Zhao family was unsurprisingly elected.

Although Kenneth City started later than the two companies in Baleno, it also began to strengthen the garrison and the construction of the city defense according to Sun Xiang's suggestion. Since the Zhao family had already openly allied themselves with the other four, their influence in Kenneth had skyrocketed, and the other two had begun to succumb.

Astor City has grown rapidly due to the lack of tax burdens, and has now gradually narrowed the gap with Cox City. If the military power is counted alone, they have already surpassed Cox City. The only downside is that they are inferior to Cox City in terms of high-end force.

Emperor Deco wasn't reading the letter, he was reading the information.

First of all, the intelligence of the military, the eight trainees sent by the military have all achieved success, and the current yield rate is basically stable at the level of 30 percent. With one month to go, they are confident that they will be able to increase the yield to more than 40 percent. What he is looking at now is the follow-up plan reported by the military.

The military suggested: First, secretly set up a military factory to make bows and arrows, and train more talents based on these eight people. The second is to secretly set up an archery detachment, conduct training in a centralized manner, and disband the detachment when necessary and devote it to various units, so as to form a mixed branch of the armed forces and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops. Third, in peacetime at this stage, personnel from the army are transferred to form a number of secret squads, pretending to be mercenaries, and going to the Abel Mountains to hunt and kill monsters, on the one hand, to solve the problem of monster materials, and on the other hand, to exercise the troops' mobile combat capabilities, and to help the empire accelerate the pace of eastward expansion.

Emperor Deke was very satisfied with the plan of the military department, and with a stroke of his pen: it was approved.

Another piece of information was sent by the intelligence services. After more than half a year of hard work, the hall master finally showed his tail, which was still related to Sun Xiang. This breakthrough started with Rhodes, and when the bow and arrow making technology appeared, Prince Cisco was completely exposed.

The intelligence services first did this by tracking down the source of the Queen's family in Astor City. The Empire's intelligence services gradually narrowed down to a few points in the capital. Later, he followed the clues of the Quinn family's own family, and soon found its location, which turned out to be a riverside town in the western part of the empire, near the border. The Quinn family turned out to be the largest family in the small town, and they had taken full control of the town. Through this clue, he once again followed the vine and returned to the capital.

Secondly, the assassin's activities in the empire were also found, and as a result, the clues returned to the capital again, and his activities in the capital were also discovered by the intelligence services.

In the end, the Rhodes incident appeared, and the intelligence services seized the opportunity in time.

At the beginning, the Rhodes family was very angry at Sun Xiang's genius who "bullied" and abolished the family, but unfortunately, they knew that they could not afford to provoke the Sun family, so they could only bury this anger in their hearts. They sent a team to pick up Rhodes from the academy under the leadership of the family's upper echelons. However, when they were suddenly attacked by a group of masked men on the way, and were about to be wiped out, the Imperial intelligence services arrived, annihilated the masked men, rescued them, and took the captives with them to the secret stronghold of the intelligence services.

Originally, the Rhodes family thought that it was the Sun family who attacked them, and thought that the Sun family wanted to get rid of the hidden danger. However, after participating in the interrogation of the captives, they learned that it was someone else who had attacked them. At this time, they knew that Rhodes was being used. And no matter what the outcome is, this gang will cause Rhodes to die, and then blame the Sun family.

At this time, the Rhodes family woke up like a dream, and they realized that their genius was actually involved in a huge conspiracy, and it might even bring them the disaster of annihilation. After this discovery, their hatred for the Sun family was gone, but they were a little overwhelmed. You must know that neither the Sun family nor the masked people can compete with their family.

So, under the guidance of the intelligence department, they woke up and finally stood up, and took the initiative to issue a statement at the academy, faintly apologizing to the Sun family.

And the failure of this attack made the mysterious organization show its feet again.

According to the identity of the attacker, the intelligence department quickly determined that the instigator behind it turned out to be also a "messenger". The intelligence services secretly locked him down.

In response to the Rhodes incident, Sun Xiang's proposal to find out the mastermind behind the transfer of Jin and Mark, the intelligence department did not relax, and as a result, this "messenger" hidden in the academy was quickly found.

The two "messengers" have different identities and different division of labor. They also have jade plaques in their hands, which are the "Yellow Envoy" and the "Earth Envoy" jade plaque, which are the same as the two "messengers" captured in the Trials of Astor City.

This time the intelligence department did not act rashly, but closely monitored these two "messengers".

After secret tracking, the intelligence department discovered that the two men were actually connected to the same person, and that person was the Prince of Cisco!

This discovery surprised Emperor Deco, and in order to further clarify the truth of the facts, they pinned their hopes on the bitter ploy.

But Prince Cisco seems to have seen through the bitter plan, but he didn't take the bait. And the Black family had to continue to play the role of "bitter horn". Just when everyone was at a loss, it was Sun Xiang who created an opportunity for everyone, Sun Xiang's bow and arrow making skills were to be taught publicly, because of the strict control of the people participating in the study. Prince Cisco had no choice but to take the initiative to contact the Black family.

In this way, he who was already exposed was completely exposed!

After more than two months of surveillance, Prince Cisco's men are now more and more exposed to the hands of the Imperial Intelligence Service. A map of the distribution of underground forces led by Prince Cisco has been drawn up by the intelligence services. The breadth of the scope and the number of people involved are very rare in the history of the empire. What's more, Prince Cisco has secretly established an armed team, which is the armed squadron of the "Earth Envoy Twelve" and so on that they found before.

Even the Yu family, the Minister of Personnel who helped Emperor Deke ascend to the throne, were all under Prince Cisco. In fact, they turned out to be Prince Cisco's people, and later Prince Cisco gave up fighting for the throne and instead supported Deke to take the throne, and the Yu family naturally became Emperor Cisco's people, but they didn't expect them to be Prince Cisco's people secretly.

For this reason, too many manpower and material resources have been involved in the intelligence department, which has made the intelligence department feel a little difficult. Therefore, they suggested that the net or the military should also step in and strengthen the manpower to avoid long nights and dreams.
