Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the end of the hot summer.

The sun of the past few days is far less hot than before, and if you are an extraordinary magician, you can even release defensive spells when the sun is scorching, and walk outside for an hour.

During this time, Chu Chen would go to Ningye Horse Farm in the northwest from time to time, and in addition, he would occasionally go to the Peace Forest, and in addition, he had been staying in Ningqiu City.

Previously, after Dongzhou Province announced the establishment of an autonomous region, Chu Chen immediately made a decision and declared that Dongzhou Province and Autonomous Region were rebel forces, and he would soon send troops to fight against them.

Not only that, Chu Chen asked Wei Shuo to help, and hyped up the matter in the major survivor bases, causing a lot of uproar and everyone knew about it.

After this period of development, the military strength in Ningqiu City has soared, and the number of city guards alone has increased to as many as 40,000.

Not to mention the city guards, the number of soldiers who could be sent out by Chu Chen to attack the city has also increased significantly.

Among them, the number of archers under Zhang Shulin's army increased to 30,000.

The number of soldiers in the warrior regiment under Liu Lin increased to 50,000.

The number of druids under Xiao Qi, Cao Rong, and Jiang Peng's army increased to 60,000.

The number of holy knight squires recruited by Zhang Min has reached the full establishment of 30,000, and Zhang Min has also trained a knight regiment with about 30,000 soldiers, but this knight regiment is not equipped with mounts for the time being.

In addition, although Chu Chen asked He Xing, Zhang Yunxian, and Cai Yaqi to build a magic building for the three of them to manage the magicians, but in the same way, Chu Chen also asked them to form two mage groups that belonged to the military.

The number of magicians in the mage group formed by He Xing reached 15,000, and the number of magicians in the mage group formed by Zhang Yunxian and Cai Yaqi reached 12,000.

Even if you exclude the knights who have no mounts for the time being, the other legions add up, so that Chu Chen's available troops reach nearly 200,000!

At first glance, this nearly 200,000 troops is too staggering, accounting for half of the number of survivors in Ningqiu City, which is also incredible.

But in fact, these 200,000 troops, on the one hand, are because there are more than 50,000 ordinary survivors who went to Shui'an City to become druids, and on the other hand, because most of the soldiers are drawn from the large and small survivor bases in Shangyang Province.

Moreover, after the development of Ningqiu City during this period of time, the number of survivors in the base has exceeded 500,000, reaching nearly 600,000.

It is also thanks to the strong support of the business alliance, otherwise the food, clothing, housing and transportation of so many survivors would not be able to support it by the leadership of Ningqiu City alone, not to mention that most of them were still worried about by Chu Chen alone.

Of course, Jiang Xin also said that as long as the hot summer passes, the newly cultivated farmland outside can make most of the survivors self-sufficient, and in addition, the sea salt in Longgang City can also be regarded as a big help in Ningqiu City.

With these two guarantees, the material situation in Ningqiu City will not be long before Chu Chen lets go.

With soldiers in hand, and the scorching summer is about to pass, in Ningqiu City, there is a military meeting.

……

"Knock, knock!"

In the conference room of the office building, Chu Chen sat in the chief seat and knocked on the table twice heavily, focusing everyone's attention on himself.

Then, Chu Chen got up, looked at the leaders of the major legions below, and opened his mouth to express the theme of this meeting: "As early as a month or two ago, I said that once the hot summer passes, we will send troops to fight, and now, the hot summer is about to pass, and the time to really test you is up!" ”

Below Chu Chen, a table full of people sat around the conference table.

Among them, there were Liu Lin, Xiao Qi, Zhang Yunxian, Cai Yaqi, Chang He and others who were originally in the base, as well as He Rong, Ye Xiang, and He Xing, who were released from the cell not long ago, as well as Zhang Min and Lei Jun, who rushed back to the base for a meeting.

In addition to the old members of these teams, there are also many newly appointed non-commissioned officers of major legions, including deputy commanders and sub-regimental commanders of various legions, as well as some more important middle-level non-commissioned officers.

In the chief seat of the conference room, Chu Chen stood proudly, facing the people below, and asked, "Our targets this time are Fengzhou City, Jize City, and Dongcheng City of Dongzhou Province!" Did any of you take the initiative to fight? ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Lin, who had worked hard in the past few months, got up directly and shouted, "Boss Chu! I! I'm going to fight! ”

The corners of Chu Chen's mouth curled, he looked at Liu Lin with a smile, and asked him, "Where do you want to fight?" ”

"Dongzhou Province!"

Liu Lin shouted loudly: "The combat power of our warrior regiment is definitely the strongest, I strongly ask you to send us to Dongzhou Province, you can rest assured, within a month, I promise to bring that Chen Feng's head to see you!" ”

Chu Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, shook his head and rejected Liu Lin's proposal: "No, you can't defeat Dongzhou Province, their strength is at least more than 100,000, and there are not a few strong generals among them!" ”

Hearing Chu Chen's words, Liu Lin shrunk his neck, and the hot blood on his body was half cold.

But soon, he shouted loudly again: "Then Fengzhou City, I have long heard Uncle He say that behind Fengzhou City, there is a survivor base in the western desert secretly supporting, which is much more interesting than Jize City, which is full of refugees!" ”

"Smack!"

Chu Chen patted his palm and said with a smile: "Okay! Then you will take your 50,000 soldiers, and Zhang Shulin and the 30,000 archers under her command, to level Fengzhou City for me! ”

Liu Lin was excited, and replied loudly with a red neck: "Yes!" Boss Chu, I promise to set foot in Fengzhou City! ”

After waving his hand at Liu Lin and motioning for him to sit down, Chu Chen smiled slowly: "Haha, next, who else dares to step on Jize City for me!" ”

Maybe it's a personality problem, Xiao Qi has always been extremely loyal to Chu Chen since he followed Chu Chen, and he has a desire to prove himself in front of Chu Chen.

He looked around at everyone, got up and nodded to Chu Chen, and said with a slight smile: "Boss Chu, since no one is invited to fight, let me take on this task that is not too difficult." ”

Nodding at Xiao Qi, in response to him, Chu Chen smiled: "Don't underestimate the enemy, Jize City is far from being as simple as it seems, as far as I know, there are no less than 30,000 elite soldiers, hidden in it!" ”

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he became a little excited: "Haha, Boss Chu, speaking of which, I also picked up a big bargain?" ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Chu Chen smiled lightly and agreed to Xiao Qi's invitation: "Okay, since you have confidence, then you will take 60,000 druids, as well as He Xing, and the 15,000 magicians under him, to Jize City, and also to level it for me!" ”

Although Xiao Qi was not as excited as Liu Lin, he also responded loudly: "Yes! Boss Chu, promise to complete the task! ”

Looking at the rest of the people, all of them were a little eager to try, Chu Chen shook his head and smiled: "Don't think about it, Dongzhou Province is not so easy to capture, I have other plans." ”

After saying it with a smile, Chu Chen deliberately paused for a while, and slowly put away his smile.

Subsequently, Chu Chen said solemnly: "We can send troops to attack other survivor bases, so naturally, it is possible to be attacked by other bases, so, He Rong, Ye Xiang, the two of you are the commanders of the city guards, if Ningqiu City is lost, then you will really be to blame!" ”

He Rong and Ye Xiang immediately got up, bowed their heads to Chu Chen, and responded in unison: "Yes, Boss Chu!" ”

Glancing at the two of them, Chu Chen turned his head to look at Zhang Yunxian and Cai Yaqi, and commanded: "Zhang Yunxian, Cai Yaqi, since He Xing has gone out with the army, then the two of you will stay in the base, if Ningqiu City is attacked, then you will be responsible for summoning the magicians in the base and guarding Ningqiu City for me!" ”

Without waiting for the two of them to respond, Chu Chen looked at Le Zhan again, and continued to command: "Le Zhan, you too, there are so many scattered professionals in the gladiatorial arena, if the base is attacked, you also have to gather them for me, do you hear clearly?" ”

Zhang Yunxian, Cai Yaqi, and Le Zhan got up at the same time and said to Chu Chen: "Yes, Boss Chu!" ”
