As for this Changteng Town, which is already a mess, it will be handed over to the two Jiuhuan and others who came from the Red Mountain Kingdom according to the agreement, and the specific responsibilities are also very simple: just stop the sneak attackers from slaughtering the magic workers in the middle and low rings, and it doesn't matter if those factory equipment are smashed again.

The next day, the members of the Ox Riding Regiment gathered in the southern suburbs of Changteng Town, and the total number of people who had exceeded 200 after two years of development. Jiao Ming, as a seven-ring, is naturally among them, and under his crotch is a hammer. The goods seemed to be very excited because they had left the turntable for power generation. And Binglian finally gave up her soul conservatism, chose a strong two-year-old cow as a mount, and directly became the captain of the bull riding group.

In the middle of the bull riding group, there is a floating tray, in which Xiao Shi and Xiao Chenxing are among them, and there are two other 'idiots'. That is, at the beginning, Jiao Ming Yifusen theocracy and his party finally brought back two of the five burdens that only had the second ring of the earth system.

According to Xiao Shi, the knife on the waist can't just be counted, this time with two idiots, it is to experiment with an earth-based magic, if successful, it can make them become the secondary core of the condensate armor, and the overall defense will increase.

Jiao Ming always felt that there were some bad signs in this experiment, and on the way south, while thinking about establishing military discipline, he also divided his energy to carefully consider the matter and ask Xiaoshi for details.

"The so-called magic is nothing more than the use of magical mediums, since animals can do it. Xiao Shi said and pointed to the hammer under Jiao Ming's crotch that was running excitedly, and continued: "Of course idiots can do it, but they need some ...... Well, training, you know what I mean. And this project was also mentioned by you at the beginning, and I didn't have time to study it so I kept it on hold, and this time I was injured and remembered. ”

Frowning and pouting, Jiao Ming suddenly remembered the news report about some black-hearted coal kilns 'hiring' people with intellectual disabilities. These people are not incapable of working, but they need some almost 'taming' means to train, which seems to be more 'cruel' than training ordinary people with 'wages', but the difference is limited in nature.

Although I think so, if this kind of thing is placed in my hometown, I will inevitably dispel my thoughts as soon as possible, and it will be troublesome no matter what. However, in this world, as long as the remuneration is guaranteed to be paid in full, and the morality in the heart is passed, there is no relevant law at all, and there is no need to scruple.

"Are you sure?"

"Nope. ”

Xiao Shi shook her head, looked at the two people with saliva in the corner of the carriage, frowned in disgust, and moved half a position away. Xiao Chenxing was very curious about the two strange travel companions, and kept asking childish questions to try to communicate. And because of his own water talent, even if he has no training, he has begun to surpass ordinary people in terms of strength, and he can easily hold down the arms that two idiots occasionally wave indiscriminately.

"Promise me never to deliberately make someone an idiot or control their minds. We all know that earth magic works. ”

"Know, how many times have you said this, and grandma is as annoyed. Xiao Shi pouted, saw Jiao Ming's serious glare, and finally relented: "Then I promise you one more time." ”

Jiao Ming nodded, and then reached out to rub Xiao Shi's hair, and then found Binglian with the manuscript that constrained military discipline. First of all, the grinding and itching and the hammer of the cow are restrained, this is it

But after discussion, several plans were not favored by Binglian. The positive reward mechanism is not as refreshing as killing people and setting fires, and it can't fundamentally restrain this group of reckless people. The negative punishment mechanism cannot be implemented, and the crocodile duke will not agree to this kind of thing for no reason, which is in vain. As for the two-phase mixing, there is no essential change either.

'It's not your own team after all,' Jiao Ming thought so, sighing lightly, thinking about whether to release an immature plan.

Binglian saw that her lover still had a backup plan, but she didn't rush, looking at the undulating green mountains and forests in the distance ahead, and waited quietly.

"Regarding the population of the crocodile territory, do you really plan to rely on the people of the Crocodile Territory to slowly procreate? Even the most optimistic estimates, in thirty years, it will not exceed two million, and most of them are young people. The overall cost of education in society has soared to the top, and when everything really develops, I am afraid that we will all be in the ground. ”

"Is it safe to be in the ground? maybe. But the development of the crocodile collar is better to take it slowly. Based on the experience of your hometown, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of small countries that have risen rapidly, leaving behind huge economic problems or huge social problems. "But let's talk about this slowly, what are your plans regarding the population?"

"What do you think of the Xu Qin people? The appearance is the same, and the speech is similar. ”

"Impossible, centuries of vendettas. ”

"From the perspective of the horizontal separation of Xu Qin people according to social classes, I am not referring to the high-level, but how many people are at the top. Rather, the lower layer, and a small amount of the middle layer. That's the bulk of the population. ”

Bing Lian's eyes narrowed.

"The people at the bottom of this world, especially in our northern region, generally know a few tax collectors. The lord's name may not be pronounced clearly, and he may not see him once in his life. In this case, there is no talk of the concept of the state. Ideologically, it can be called a blank piece of paper, and it is not so difficult to transform.

These lower strata were only forced to pay the imperial grain and national taxes, and although they objectively supported the war against the crocodile collar, they were subjectively unconscious at all, and

As for the national enmity between the crocodile leader and the Xu Qin people, to put it mildly, it is simply the killing of the magical aristocracy. And further, in case the lucky one completely annexes the Xuqin Kingdom, the people at the bottom will be completely absorbed, and the middle and high-level will be dispersed. And decades later, all the crocodiles led the people, and no one remembered a kingdom of Xu Qinren, but spat endlessly, wouldn't it be the most heart-wrenching revenge on those old and young. ”

"Then again......" Bing Lian's expression was already obvious.

"Strict military discipline, only punish the evil, and do not investigate the followers. Although we cannot be called bodhisattvas who save the suffering, we must not become bandits who burn, kill, and loot, and from this first step, we must consider the plan to absorb the population, and leave no hidden dangers. And what do those bottoms have to rob, just killing to vent their anger, maybe this will detract more from the fighting spirit. ”

"Strengthen the discipline and then choose the route. It should be fine not to harass ordinary people, and the village should be fine. But if you resist, don't expect it to be unsuccessful. Binglian paused, then smiled awkwardly. "Of course, these are all on the premise of breaking through the fortress and attacking the enemy's territory. ”

"I think it is certain to break through the Crocodile Axe Fortress, and then it will inevitably face the problem of middle and lower level control. So how about bringing our new army, specifically dealing with the problem of communication with the bottom, and other miscellaneous work by the way, so that the bull cavalry regiment can concentrate on fighting. I also strongly recommend that this time be the case, no matter what, not to go too deep. Don't forget our 'industrialization poison' plan, don't give the Xu Qin people an excuse to suppress internal contradictions. ”

Binglian nodded slightly, "This is also a problem. If you run at full speed, it's two days away. It should be enough for us to negotiate a result. ”

"And one more important thing. Jiao Ming glanced at the lower abdomen of the ice lotus, which showed no signs. "No matter what the situation is, you should take it easy. ”

"Don't worry. Binglian said, supported the cow quilt under her crotch with her hand, exerted her waist and arms, jumped in front of Jiao Ming, and squeezed him backwards. "It's easier to discuss things that way. ”

The back of the hammer is wide enough, and two people are not a problem at all. Jiao Ming glanced around, cheekily smiled at many playful eyes, and then stretched out his arms to hug the beautiful woman.

Two days later, the team arrived not far from the Crocodile Axe Fortress as scheduled, and set up camp to establish a vine teleportation circle, while preparations for the siege also began.

The specific means is the human trebuchet. First, dig a large pit with a radius of about ten meters, then simply throw some waste steel bars into it, and use spatial teleportation to transport concrete from the rear to pour, fire magic allows it to be consolidated in an hour, and finally the crocodile duke picks it up and throws it towards the crocodile axe fortress.

When Jiao Ming first heard this move, he only felt that it was low-end to explosion, but after careful calculation, he also agreed that although this move was stupid and poorly lethal to people, it was a siege weapon.

The density of concrete is about 2.6 tons per cubic meter, and the volume of a ball with a radius of 10 meters is more than 4,000 li, and such a 'boulder' is more than 10,000 tons. Comparatively speaking, the ironclad ships of the Tro Territory are only five or six thousand tons. At that time, when I went into the sea and entered the water, it was the combined force of the three qi system and the nine rings, and it was slowly floating in the air, so I could move.

When such a siege weapon smashed in, in a hurry, there was no way to control the nine rings of the qi system. It is useless to cut it open but not to teleport away. Even on top of the nine rings of Kvenance, he was so tired that he vomited blood when he tried to teleport this 'boulder' away. But this side won't do one at a time, let alone the battle that follows.

After half a day passed, the first coagulation giant gradually took shape, and Jiao Ming realized another problem. The crocodile duke may be able to handle it, but the dirt and gravel ground must not be able to bear it, and the crocodile duke is likely to be like a nail pressed into the ground.

Although he didn't think that such a funny picture would appear, Jiao Ming still approached Binglian to ask about the situation. The latter's expression immediately became strange, and he smiled: "I was really pressed to the ground when I played like this for the first time a few years ago, I saw that scene from my father's memory, and everyone's expressions were really funny at that time, and I have time to share it with you." ”

"So, it's settled now?"

"Of course. Binglian replied, and continued, "It's just a magic method, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

"I'm fine. Simple calculations, the runway of the hometown cannot withstand such pressure. "The weight of 10,000 tons is pressed on the area of a pair of feet, and the limit of the earth's load plane is only six or seven hundred tons, and many wheels are scattered.

"Soundproof barriers. ”

“OK。 ”

"Actually, this is a skill that my father discovered after he was promoted to the top of the Nine Rings, and I thought it was useless, but I used it here. With this as the opening remark, Binglian told the story.

After being promoted to the top of the Nine Rings, with the further expansion of communication with the magic medium, you can use this to anchor yourself in the Holy Demon Sea. The effect is very limited, but it seems to violate the law of inertia in the material world.

The first is the ability to levitate, which is a basic skill for air magicians. The second is that after being hit hard, it will not fly away. And this is also a headache for the magic warriors of the high-ring water system, if it is not a down-to-earth battle, it is definitely like a table tennis ball.

“...... The original limit was a huge concrete block with a radius of six or seven meters, but now it has been improved, and Keven Ans has also been promoted to the ninth ring, so he tried a radius of ten meters. Whether you can smash it or not, let's see the result later. ”

"I see. Jiao Ming pondered for a moment, understood the general principle, and then asked: "There has always been a question, why is it not called ten rings above the nine rings." ”

Binglian rolled her eyes, "What are you studying at the Academy of Magic?" ”

"Then I'll go back and look through the textbooks. Jiao Ming said and turned around.

Binglian stretched out her hand to hold her lover, "Don't be so angry with me." ”

"Hehe, then you can explain it, and you should make up for the scumbag. When I taught you math back then, I more or less blamed you for not being enlightened, so you must be looking forward to this day. ”

Ice Lotus begins to explain the mode again. To summarize simply, at the beginning of the Age of Magic, the definition of the Nine Rings was the appearance of the corresponding human stars in the sky. The previous cultivation promotion process was simply divided, but there were problems in the subsequent cultivation promotion process. First of all, there is nothing to learn from, and secondly, due to the social situation, horizontal communication is also hindered.

At the same time, everyone found that the cultivation promotion after the Nine Rings seemed to have entered the deep water area, and the benefits of improving the difficulties were pitiful. If the previous process is to walk on a hillside full of fruits, you can get something by walking a few steps. Now it's an empty cliff.

In terms of combat effectiveness, although the Nine Rings are stronger than the Nine Rings, it is not the suppression of the Eight Rings by the Nine Rings, and there is no breakthrough in the law of retreat of the Three Rings. In other words, the Seven Rings can also play against the Nine Rings, instead of theoretically being broken through the body's magic resistance by the Ten Rings to produce a spike effect.

At this point, the general opinion of the high-ring magicians is that above the nine rings is a strange level of 'sandwiching', which is why it has such a strange name. And the legendary Ten Rings, no one has ever been able to break through.

The explanation here came to an end, the concrete pouring over there had been completed, and the ice lotus, as the seven rings of the fire system, was naturally beckoned to start the solidification work. Jiao Ming came with him, and learned from the chatter of the people around him that the crocodile duke was not sure about the ten-meter radius, and he would decide how big the pit would be to dig after seeing the results.

When the sky was getting dark, the crocodile axe fortress in the distance was also lit up with sporadic lights, and the work of the ice lotus was completed. And under Jiao Ming's deliberate birth, the vine circle was also formed, and a steady stream of food and grass appeared, followed by the new army troops. When the dinner was over, the well-fed and well-fed Duke of Crocodile made a stretch before the crowd looked at the concrete mass, and then began to dig a hole.

Jiao Ming rolled his eyes again, and after asking clearly, he directly teleported the crocodile duke to the bottom of the huge block.
