Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Falls Chapter 48 The Vampire Palace
Although things are not usable, they are not usable.
Helpless, Xu Yang received the Seagod Trident into his backpack, and followed Zuo Ci Immortal to a small grass hut in Taoyuan Wonderland. The interior of the thatched hut is elegant, there are some wooden tables and cabinets, which look very natural, and what really surprised Xu Yang was that the paintings hanging on the walls were just like the real ones, and the fish in the water were still swimming......
Zuo Ci Immortal entered the house, casually took out a shabby map and handed it to Xu Yangdao: "Xinghuo Xiaoyou, this map records several first-class material production areas in Huaxia. According to the previous agreement, it is enough to meet the needs of Xiaoyou. Xiaoyou's trip is hard, and this thing is not enough to express the modest hearts of the four of us......"
Xu Yang thanked him after receiving the map, and then checked the locations marked on the map. What disappointed Xu Yang was that there was no wood or stone near Mingyue City, and the nearest of these places was the south of Yangzhou, and it was hundreds of miles from Haiyan County. The distribution areas of other first-class materials, or Youzhou in the north, or the remote places of Liangzhou, it is not realistic to occupy those places in a short time.
However, this did not disappoint Xu Yang, and he wanted to go to this map marked with Yipin materials just to collect the materials used to build Dragon Snake Island first. As long as you know the place, you can get these materials even by cooperating with other people. Moreover, building Dragon Snake Island is not something that can be done with materials, and it also requires so many saint-level professions, Xu Yang feels that he is still 108,000 miles away from that condition!
After the entrustment of the Taoyuan Wonderland was completed, it was the Purple Void Master who directly teleported Xu Yang back to Mingyue City with a wave of his sleeves. As for the side of Rose City, the Yellow Turban Army has given up its strategy against Haiyan County, and it has been safe in a short time. Zhou Tai, Xiang Hu, and Han Mengxing's troops also began to withdraw to Mingyue City from Wanghai Town, and the reason why Xu Yang returned to Mingyue City was because the Yellow Turban on the Jingzhou side finally made a big move!
Wancheng! This important city, which is very famous in history, was actually captured by the Yellow Turban Army! And it was none other than the one who captured Wancheng, it was Zhang Mancheng, the divine calculation of the Yellow Turban Army, whose status was second only to that of the Three Princes of Heaven, Earth and Man. If this was the Zhang Mancheng in history, Xu Yang would naturally not think much about it, but at this time, Zhang Mancheng was mentally calculated, and Xu Yang couldn't figure it out. Jingzhou is adjacent to Yangzhou, and Zhang Mancheng, who occupies Wancheng, did not plunder supplies, but to clean up the stubborn wealthy families in the city.
Cleaning up the completed wealthy clans can be described as half co-opting and half suppressing, driving some big clans out of the city directly, leaving some small wealthy clans to give some benefits to quiet each other! Although the entire Wancheng is not monolithic, Zhang Mancheng, who has nearly 500,000 yellow turban main force and countless yellow turban players, can be said to have successfully controlled Wancheng in his own hands, and began to continuously absorb yellow turban materials from Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou, as if he wanted to fight a protracted war.
And the brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang in the north also took Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others to the north to occupy Yecheng in Youzhou. and sent Zhang Niujiao, Chu Feiyan and others into the Yanshan Mountain Range, and established forces in the mountains to plunder the northern land to fill the army. The development of the Yellow Turban forces on the Bingzhou side is not very good, but there are signs of moving to the vicinity of Sili, trying to merge with the Yellow Turbans around Sili and twist into a rope. And at present, there are rumors around Sili, and it is rumored that Hedongwei's family has a yellow scarf, which is why the yellow turban is active near Sili.
Of course, the most popular location of the Yellow Turban is still in the Julu Guangzong generation. This is the outbreak of the Yellow Turban, after so many years of painstaking management by Zhang Jiao, coupled with a very good mass base, at present, whether it is Julu or Guangzong, it has been built into a solid giant city. And the two cities can assist each other, once the imperial court sends one of the troops, the other side will inevitably cooperate with it to form a front and rear attack, which can be said to be well versed in the way of military attack.
Xu Yang's return made everyone in Mingyue City feel a lot more relieved, since the lord of his family suddenly left in Rose City, and let Zhou Tai and the others return to Mingyue City on their own, it didn't make Zhang Zhao and the others worried. Now that he has seen Xu Yang return safely, this hanging heart can be regarded as letting go.
"Lord, during the time you left, you were worried about the death of your subordinates, ......" After seeing Xu Yang, Zhang Zhao directly complained to Xu Yang with an ugly face.
Xu Yang can understand Zhang Zhao's psychology, after all, he is the lord of Mingyue City, and he shouldn't do anything dangerous by himself. should sit in charge and coordinate affairs with Mingyue City, this is what a lord should do, and such a lord can best meet Zhang Zhao's mind, after all, Zhang Zhao is a conservative in history.
However, Xu Yang listened carefully to Zhang Zhao's worries, and then asked casually: "During the time I left, I heard that someone came to Mingyue City to make trouble?" ”
This question made Xiang Fu on the side immediately come to his senses, and said before Zhang Zhao: "Lord, this matter is still up to the subordinates!" At that time, there was a group of thieves disguised as yellow turbans who attacked and disturbed Bright Moon City. I have to say that this yellow scarf is also a bit capable, and it actually dressed itself up like an ordinary rogue, and in the end, we used that secret weapon to pry open the mouth of this yellow scarf......"
When talking about "that secret weapon", Xiang Fu also deliberately emphasized it, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction in this regard, that army would be exposed to people sooner or later, and Xu Yang had no intention of continuing to hide it, after all, as long as someone inquired in many ways, it was easy to find out that Xu Yang had such a secret weapon. And by exposing this secret weapon, Xu Yang also wants to let people with their own ideas know some information they want them to know.
"Well, you've done a good job! Is this the enemy in the Yellow Turban? Xu Yang asked.
Zhang Zhao glanced at Xiang Fu and shut up Xiang Fu, who was about to continue talking, before he slowly spoke: "Lord, the leader of this yellow turban is really our old opponent!" It's the force of the Inhumans called Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and although their main force has been transferred to besiege Shouchun, they don't know when they have transferred a force to test us. The main force of this force is composed of the sixth and seventh orders, with a small number of eighth order troops......"
As soon as he heard that the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was testing the strength configuration of Mingyue City this time, Xu Yang immediately had a realization in his heart. I'm afraid that this time the Lingxiao Treasure Hall really secretly transferred some of the main forces, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for them to have such a strong strength to test Mingyue City! It's also a loss that you have that army, otherwise this Bright Moon City may have to expose a few hole cards!
"I'll go to Victor to have a look, Zhang Zhao, you have someone to inform Zhou Tai to go to Victor to find me......" After explaining, Xu Yang went directly to the house built for Victor in Mingyue City.
This mansion, which originally covered a large area, now has a deep feeling, and Xu Yang just smiled at this feeling. When Xu Yang walked into the mansion, he saw Frankenstein, the five-meter-tall little giant, who went out to greet him.
"My lord, my father's laboratory in the backyard! I wonder if you're here to see the troops underground, or to see your father? Frankenneth said to Xu Yang with a smile that he thought was kind.
It's just that Xu Yang can only smile politely at such Frankenstein, a five-meter-tall "living person" with a whole body made of various corpses to talk to himself so politely, Xu Yang really doesn't know how to express his feelings.
"Well, Dr. Victor must be busy with scientific research! Then I'll go directly to the underground vault and see which troops, what about their losses in the last battle? Xu Yang walked in front and walked towards the basement of Victor's house.
Frankenstein on the side answered Xu Yang's question as he walked: "They didn't have any substantial losses last time, although I hate Dracula, but I have to say that this kind of guy similar to Dracula's ability is indeed too powerful!" If it weren't for the fact that they could only act at night, it would really be terrifying combat power......"
The two walked and chatted, and entered the underground through a rockery in the courtyard! However, this basement was larger than all the basements Xu Yang had seen before, and it was more of an underground base than a basement. The height of the ceiling alone has reached ten meters, and the entire space covers an area of about six square kilometers.
"Huh, if it weren't for that vampire palace blueprint, I really don't know how long it would take to create such an underground base!" Looking at the five palaces in front of him, with a few bats occasionally hanging on the walls of the zenith, Xu Yang sighed.
The entire underground base was built by Xu Yang using the reward after returning from Romania - the construction blueprints of the vampire palace. In order to build this underground base, Xu Yang mobilized a large number of craftsmen in Mingyue City and the seven affiliated territories. These craftsmen were ordered to keep them secret after they were built, and they were given a large amount of secrecy money, or hush money. Regarding the constant 100 people's hearts in Mingyue City, Xu Yang felt that this was no different from blocking the news.
Of course, Xu Yang did this just to protect his secret base, and as for the troops in the vampire palace, Xu Yang did not intend to keep it secret. After all, as long as the troops are going to go to the battlefield sooner or later, as long as they are on the battlefield, it will be exposed sooner or later! If you have the time to think about how to keep it secret, you might as well figure out how to improve your strength.
There are a total of five palaces in the entire underground, one of which is the Vampire King's Palace, two are the Vampire Duke's Palace, and two are the Vampire Lord's Palace. And these three are the benefits that Xu Yang has brought to completing a world-class task and obtaining a construction drawing. All three classes are considered vampire troops, but the most effective one is the Vampire Lord, who can currently only have a hundred, while the Lord and Lord each have reached 2,000.
As for why not more? That's because this way of creating vampires makes Xu Yang too uncomfortable, that is, the conversion of living people! When the vampire palace was built, there was only one king, ten dukes and ten lords, and in order to obtain the corresponding vampire troops, you need to use living people who meet the conditions to convert. If others thought that this was just a game, they might change unscrupulously, but Xu Yang always had a knot in his heart, and he didn't want the people of his territory to become vampires.
In the end, Xu Yang selected less than 5,000 people from the more than 300,000 troops in Bright Moon City to transform into vampires, and told them that they would not be able to see the sun in the future! After explaining everything and pacifying the families of these people, this is the current army in the vampire palace. As for Xu Yang's psychology, he doesn't want to convert this army through his own people, if he has to expand the army, then use the enemy to expand in the future!
And the combat effectiveness of this force Xu Yang has no doubt that the three types of vampires in the palace are all high-level existences of legendary vampires. The vampire population is already concerned about level suppression, and the vampires who are weak and have just been converted often have to be transferred by the will of the transformer, and they only need to control the handful of vampires of the king! Of course, now the highest in the entire palace are some eighth-order vampires, and if they want to be promoted to the ninth-order, they need to build some blood pools for them to cultivate......
"Hey, the only downside of these guys is that they can't fight during the day!" Xu Yang simply checked the attributes of the three vampires, and through the life-sharing attributes, he understood the strength of this army, but he just sighed helplessly.
Vampires are powerful, but their shortcomings are also obvious - they can only live in darkness. And such an attribute doomed this army to be unable to march with Xu Yang's large army, and staying in Mingyue City was their best choice.
"My lord, we still have a problem to solve!" Seeing that Xu Yang had finished inspecting the Vampire Palace, Frankenstein on the side spoke, "These vampires need to drink blood every day, and the blood pool that has long been built at the beginning of the construction to provide the blood they need for daily life. After the last battle, the blood storage in the blood pool was already insufficient, but if they were allowed to forage for food in this way, I am afraid that it would cause great panic to the people in the territory......"
Come on! Hearing Frankenstein's words, Xu Yang was also helpless, such a strong army really still has a lot of constants, and this "grain and grass" alone needs special care! After all, you can't feed them rice, no, these vampires are useless even if they eat it. Imagine that this palace has been built for a while, and at first Xu Yang also wanted to find some blood source for them, but later let the Yellow Turban Rebellion break out and forget about it.
"I'll figure it out, and in a short time you can let them fly to the river at night to catch some fish!" Remember, don't leave a living mouth, I don't want to see a river of vampires! After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yang explained it like this.
After all, there are less than 5,000 vampires, and it is only more than 100 miles away from the mouth of the Yangtze River to get here, so it is no problem for these guys to go out and forage for food freely for a while at night. As for the solution, Xu Yang also has a draft in his heart, but he still has some means to achieve this goal. And Xu Yang came here today just to take a look at this special force, he still has one more thing to look for Victor!
After leaving the underground base, Xu Yang was waiting for Victor's arrival in the living room, and Frankenstein, as one of the few people who could enter Victor's test area at will, naturally went to report for Xu Yang!
After waiting for about a cup of tea, I saw Victor wearing a gray robe and walking in from outside the door.
"My lord, how did you come to me? I've been working on something very interesting lately, but it's going to take a while to finish, so it's a shame I can't show it to my lord today! Victor casually spoke, and all but the greeting was all about his research.
Xu Yang was also very helpless about this scientific madman, and directly interrupted him: "Mr. Victor, I don't know if you are interested in the research of national weapons?" ”
"What?" When Victor heard Xu Yang's words, his mouth immediately opened to eat Frankenstein's fist, and he tried to calm himself down before continuing to ask, "My lord, did you just say a national weapon?" Have you already obtained a national weapon? And are you going to use that thing to support my research career? ”
Looking at Victor's excited appearance, Xu Yang also felt a little excited in his heart. Originally, he had already turned the Poseidon Trident into an ordinary sharp weapon, and he came here to tell Victor about the national weapon, Xu Yang just wanted to see if this national weapon that he couldn't use could be analyzed in a scientific way! Why don't you give it to the blacksmith? Just kidding, now the most senior blacksmith in Jinge City has only touched the edge of the emperor level, and letting this guy study the national weapon is basically to explain the manufacturing principle of spaceships to primitive people.
To explain that the most literate person in Moon City may be Zhang Zhao, but the person with the most scientific knowledge can only be Victor! Xu Yang originally came to test it with the idea of trying it out, but now looking at Victor's excited appearance, it is obvious that he also knows something about the national weapon, as for what can be studied, then we can only wait and see!
took out the Poseidon Trident from his backpack and threw it directly to Frankenstein on the side, Xu Yang said: "Then let's put this thing here for a while to study for a while, I am very much looking forward to Mr. Victor being able to invent something amazing......
didn't directly throw the trident to Victor, looking at Victor's thin body, Xu Yang was really afraid that this guy wouldn't be able to hold the trident and smash it in place. But then Victor snatched the trident from his beloved "son" and began to observe.
"Haha...... This is the national weapon, the real national weapon...... The national weapon of the United States...... Ha ha! Victor looked at the trident and pretended to be crazy, and after a long time, he said to Xu Yang who was normal, "Lord, don't worry, you will see unexpected gains in less than a month!" ”
Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Yang left Victor's mansion and walked towards the harbor town of Bright Moon City......
