Feeling the four phantom stones rotating in his body, Xiao Qiang knew that unless he could replace the four phantom stones of higher quality, otherwise, his progress speed would be like this, and there would be no change, but ...... Despite this, Xiaoqiang is already very satisfied, as long as he continues to work hard, he can continue to make progress, and if he is not satisfied, God will punish him.

In addition, Xiaoqiang also found a phenomenon, if you eat the magic crystal of the same attribute in a row, although you can also digest it, but you can't absorb it at all, the same reason, eat two kinds at the same time, eat three, it is not successful, only in order, the magic crystal of the four attributes will absorb the energy equivalent to a phantom stone, that is to say, so far, Xiaoqiang can absorb the energy of a first-order phantom stone on average every day, and the proportion of absorption is one percent of the first-order phantom stone, and it takes a hundred days to interrupt the absorption before you can improve your strength to the second order。

Perhaps, some people will think that such progress is already very fast, but in fact, the first order is of course fast to the second order, the energy of the second order is twice that of the first order, and it can absorb one percent of the first order phantom stone every day, and it only takes 100 days to rise to the second order!

But then, it takes 200 days to reach the third order, 400 days to reach the fourth order, 800 days to reach the fifth order, 1,600 days to reach the sixth order, ten years to the seventh order, twenty years to the eighth order, forty years to the ninth order, and sixty years to the tenth order!

Calculate, from the first order to the tenth order, it takes almost 140 years in total, it is possible to reach the highest level, if converted to * people, may have died I don't know how many years, in terms of speed alone, it is definitely not fast, even compared to ordinary people, it is much slower, the only benefit is stability, and as long as you persist, there will be progress!

Fortunately, Xiao Qiang's luck is better, he doesn't have to really start practicing from the first order, because at the last moment, he was lucky enough to devour the two brains of the two-headed dog, so he obtained a lot of spiritual energy, and it is precisely because of these belonging to the two-headed hellhound, with a strong desire to devour the spiritual energy, that the energy emitted by the phantom stone was devoured, so that Xiao Qiang survived, if it was replaced by the spiritual energy of other monsters, Xiao Qiang would not be able to live.

Moreover, since the spiritual energy system that now constitutes Xiaoqiang's spiritual energy system is the spiritual power of the most cruel devouring and devouring hell two-headed dog, it ...... After Xiao Qiang devoured the Dark Crystal of the Hellhound, because the spirit and the energy of the Dark Crystal were very familiar, he ...... Unexpectedly, a large amount of energy was devoured at a super level, forming a soybean-sized magic crystal, if Xiaoqiang had not devoured the magic crystal of the Hell Two-Headed Dog, it would definitely not have the current effect.

Although, now the magic crystal in Xiaoqiang's body is only the size of a soybean, but ...... The one that absorbs is the most familiar and the most essence of the spiritual power of the two-headed dog, so ...... Although it was not completely absorbed, it was only absorbed by the essence of it, but just so, Xiao Qiang's energy at the moment has also reached more than the fourth order, less than the fifth order, as long as he insists on devouring it continuously, it won't be long before he can rise to the state of the fifth order!

Before the battle with the two-headed hellhound, Xiao Qiang had just broken through to the level of the fifth order, and now although his strength has decreased, but at the same time, Xiao Qiang's gain is greater, from now on, Xiao Qiang no longer needs to drink water, no longer need to eat food and mix, only need to eat a certain amount of magic crystals every day!

Moreover, Xiaoqiang's driving mode has also undergone a huge change, it used to be a purely physical force, but now it is ...... It has become a pure energy mode, and what supports Xiaoqiang to make any action is energy, not any physical power, at this moment...... The internal organs in Xiaoqiang's body are completely empty, except for a thick shell, there is nothing left, and the whole body is completely empty.

Moreover, Xiaoqiang has also transformed from a creature to an existence similar to a phantom beast, similar to an elf, but completely different from them, a hybrid life with spirit, soul, and energy mixed with each other!

After judging about it, Xiao Qiang knew that his current strength was more than the fourth order, infinitely close to the fifth order, as little as a month, as much as half a year, and he would definitely be able to return to the strength of the fifth order again!

Full of confidence, Xiao Qiang's figure quickly sank into the depths of the jungle, and then ...... What he has to do is very simple, that is, to hunt as many demonic beasts as possible and obtain a large number of magic crystals, because in the next life, he can no longer leave the magic crystals one day, from now on, the magic crystals are his food!

Not to mention how Xiao Qiang cultivated, on the other side, I piloted the plane and transported the forty holy guards to the Valley of the Hundred Beasts, and then handed them over to the four elf sisters, and then ...... I summoned my own phantom beasts, handed them over to the four elf sisters to train, ordered the green dragon to run on both sides, and after learning the spell with the elf sister every day, I flew back for my use. And I'm ...... Naturally, he shook his hands and drove the plane back to the Phantom City.

This trip took me more than a month, but overall, it was almost the most rewarding trip for me, first of all, I found the best trainer for the four phantom beasts, and secondly, ...... I found the best trainer for the Four Seasons Holy Guards, so that I was completely liberated and could let go of other things, and I didn't have to worry about delaying the cultivation of the Phantom Beasts, and I didn't have to worry about whether the Holy Guards' training was successful.

Piloting the plane, I rushed back to the transfer station under construction, more than a month has passed, and the transfer station has begun to take shape, although the area is not large, but the area that has been built, but I am very satisfied.

According to my plan, start from the top of the hill, build a piece to perfection, continue to extend outward, when the whole hill is covered by buildings, the project is naturally completed!

Although it has only been more than a month, you must know that there are thousands of intermediate architects who participated in the construction work, and they ...... All kinds of stones are available nearby, so the speed of construction is still very fast.

The town hall of the transit station has been built, it is a huge, mainly military priority building, the whole building is hexagonal, divided into two floors, is the last fortress of the entire transit station!

Although there are only two floors, each floor is very high, three or four meters high, and the two floors together are seven or eight meters high, and ...... Around the building, there are firing ports everywhere, and ...... The walls of the building are unusually thick, and unless there are siege equipment, it is difficult to destroy them in a short time!

The whole building is a regular hexagon, hexagonal center, that is, the huge, 100 meters in diameter of the large square, the square is used to store goods, if in times of war, it can also be used to hide people, in the future...... Wyverns will come and go here, transporting all kinds of goods.

Generally speaking, this is a building similar to the big stadiums on Earth, except that this building is similar to the Pentagon One, but this one is hexagonal, while the Pentagon is five-sided.

The whole huge ring building basically completely occupies the flat land at the top of the hill, and then ...... There is a slope to begin, otherwise, the whole building, I'm afraid it will be built a little bigger.

In a month, such a huge building was built, and the speed can be described as very fast, of course...... With this thousand architects alone, it will definitely not be possible, the most important thing is that there are tens of thousands of flying dragons to help, this is the most important thing, all kinds of stones for building buildings, are all flying dragons directly transported from the phantom city, before the transportation, it has been built, and it can be directly emperor, otherwise, I'm afraid even half of it can't be built.

By the time I got back here, the 1,000 slaves had been divided into two teams, one of four hundred and one of six hundred, of which ...... The construction team, which numbered 400 people, was responsible for continuing to build and improve the only building that had been built, while the other team of 600 people began to build another building about 20 meters away from the building!

After a day of wandering around the transit station, I rushed back to the Phantom City with satisfaction, and just got off the plane and was about to go to a good night's sleep, Adetheusa rushed over from a distance with a gloomy face, and after a solemn look at me, Adeciusa said in a deep voice: "City Lord...... This time it's bad!"

Listening to Adetheusa's words, my heart sank, and in general, I had already guessed what he was going to say, and I hurriedly glanced at him, and then ...... I grabbed his arm, held his shoulder, and walked towards the city lord's mansion, there are too many people here, and there are many words, it is not suitable to talk nonsense, otherwise, it will cause panic.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion, my face couldn't help but sink, and I sat down on the sofa without saying a word, frowning, and I said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?

Listening to my words, Adiciusa nodded solemnly, sat down on the sofa opposite me, and replied in a deep voice, "Yes...... The other party replied, and they stated that if the Warframe Factory was not handed over to them within ten days, their army would completely surround our Phantom City at that time!"

Ten days!

Listening to Adeciusa's words, I couldn't help but stand up, walking back and forth anxiously, too short, too short, although the transfer station is already under construction, but the distance can be used, it will take too long!

Seeing my anxious demeanor, Addisusa smiled bitterly: "The other party is too arrogant, he doesn't discuss with us at all, he can do whatever he wants, it's a mandatory order!"

Damn it!

Listening to Adeciusa's words, I couldn't help but curse out loud, it was really too much of a bully, it couldn't even be discussed, they could do whatever they wanted, they were simply bullying people and bullying them home.

Stopping abruptly, I turned my head to look at Adetheusa, and finally confirmed, "What did they say?

Nodding slightly, Adeciusa said angrily, "We sent messengers to ask for a meeting with their commander stationed in the city of Kara, and the result was ...... Our envoy didn't even see the face of the other party's commander, and the opponent's guards conveyed the commander's opinion!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning and asked in a low voice, "What opinion?"

Hum!

With a cold snort, Adicius said gloomily: "The leader of the people said that we are not qualified to bargain at all, and since we have already received his meaning, we must do it without dispute, and there is no room for negotiation! If the armor factory has not been handed over to them in ten days, they will wipe out the Phantom City from the entire continent!"

Hahaha...... Listening to Adetheusa's words, I couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and in the midst of the laughter, I said in a deep voice: "Good......! It seems that they are completely looking down on us, since this is the case......"

Speaking of this, I looked at Adiciusa excitedly, and said tremblingly: "In this case, we can't bear it, although it was hard at the beginning, but I can't bear it anymore, you see?"

Good!

Hearing my words, Editusa's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he stood up excitedly, and said in high spirits: "Since you have made so many preparations for today, built such an impregnable city, and organized such a powerful guard legion, then...... As long as I, Adeciusa, am still here, this city will never fall!"

Hey......

Listening to Adetheusa's words, I couldn't help but snicker, looked at Adetheusa proudly, and I said sincerely: "I really prepared a lot for this city, but ...... What a strong city, what an army, this is all trivial, the most important thing is that I invited you, this is my biggest gain!"

Hahahaha......

Hearing my words, Adiciusa couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, he could hear that I was definitely not deliberately patting his horses, because there was no need for that, I was the lord of the city, how could I pat my horses, and...... The affection revealed in my words made him feel my sincerity!

What's more, what if it's a sycophant? In this world, who doesn't like to be photographed? As long as he really has that ability, I don't just shoot in the air.

Castle Lord!

Suppressing his laughter, Adicius said solemnly: "I agree with the city lord's opinion, it's all here, we don't have to endure it anymore, what's the hardship at the beginning? This is war! Dead people are nothing, let alone hardship, war is like this, it can't wait for everything to start when you're ready, as long as the battle comes, no matter what the situation, all we can do is to meet this one choice!"

Speaking of this, Addisusa paused slightly, and then continued: "Don't we have ten more days? This is enough, from tomorrow, the city lord will slow down the construction of the new city, lead the people, and purchase daily necessities in large quantities, in the next ten days, the air troops of the Scorpion Legion will make every effort to transport daily supplies, with the flow of goods in Sente City, after ten days, we can definitely complete the pre-war food preparation, at least ...... We can accumulate enough grain, grass and daily necessities for half a year for the Phantom City, so that the new city will have an extra half a year of development time, and I don't believe that it will not be possible to build a small city in half a year!"

Good......

Standing up happily, I said excitedly: "Without further ado, time is pressing, we don't have to wait for tomorrow, I'll go back to Sente City now, organize the supply of goods, and early tomorrow morning, you will send the Fire Dragon Legion to transport the goods!"

Listening to my words, Addisusa nodded with satisfaction and said, "The boss is worthy of being the boss, he is an officer, of course it would be best if he could go now, but don't you need to take a break, city lord?"

Ay......

Sighing with a wry smile, I said helplessly: "Of course I want to sleep well, but if I am comfortable, tens of thousands of people in Phantom City will definitely be offended, so ...... Isn't it my responsibility as the lord of the city to create a good and comfortable living environment for everyone?"

Listening to my words, Adetheusa looked at me with admiration, and said movingly: "Cheng! With your words, I, Adetheusa, have not followed the wrong person, you can go and get busy, the affairs of the family will be handed over to me, as long as I am here, the Phantom City will always be as solid as a rock! I, Edipusa, swear that I will protect the Phantom City for the city lord for the rest of my life!"

This!

Looking at Adetheusa in horror, I was surprised, I really didn't expect Adetheusa to say such a thing, looking at my surprised expression, Adetheusa couldn't help but smile slightly, and said affirmatively: "Don't be surprised, you deserve me to do this, I believe...... Not only me, but all the people of Phantom City will be proud of you!"

Shaking my head with a wry smile, I continued: "Okay, with your words, I can be completely relieved, since this is the case, then I will leave now, what is the situation, you can use the fire dragon to send me a letter at any time!"

After handing over to Adeciusa, I rushed out of the city lord's mansion, and the plane was still parked outside the palace gate, just to save my trouble, I turned the nose of the plane directly, and after taxiing down the street for some distance, the huge plane leisurely plunged into the sky.

Looking at the pitch-black plane soaring into the sky, Adiciusa smiled and withdrew his gaze, and after thinking for a while, Adiciusa rang the giant bell of the Phantom City!

When!when!when......

The roaring bell echoed in the sky above the Phantom City, and soon ...... All the people of the Phantom City gathered in the big square in front of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for the City Lord's instructions!

Facing the tens of thousands of people of the Phantom City neatly arranged in the square, Adicius first announced the current situation of the Phantom City, and then announced that from now on, the Phantom City will enter a state of readiness, and the city gate will be closed, prohibiting traffic, and at the same time, ...... Defense drills are going on every day, and who knows when the enemy will come? If you are not ready now, what if the enemy attacks the door? You know...... The soldiers are weird, and everyone can determine when the enemy will arrive.

Not just announcing that the Phantom City had entered a state of preparation, Addisusa spent a lot of energy and praised my contribution to the Phantom City, obviously I only slept one night, but he said that he hadn't slept for a week, and he exaggerated my cherishment of the Phantom City and the love for the city's citizens!
