Chapter 17: Preparation and Choice

The sky was dark, the starry sky was obscured by dark clouds, and it was a scene of impending wind and rain. The thick dark clouds of pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info make people feel very stuffy, and their hearts can't help but feel dull.

Standing in the sky and looking down, Chang'an City is like a lurking giant beast, waiting for the opportunity to devour everything.

Palazzo Duca, in the study.

Mo Chen, Li Si, and Zhao Hu stood around a round mahogany table, and a disc was placed on the mahogany table.

The disc is silvery-white, about a foot in diameter and an inch thick. It is engraved with complex magical patterns, which look mysterious and complex.

"Let's get started." Mo Chen's face was calm, and he said to Li Si.

Hearing this, Li Si saluted respectfully, and then pressed his hands on the silver-white disc, and the magic power in his hands surged, wandering along the specific magic route on the disc.

As the magic filled, the disc gradually lit up with a soft glow.

After two breaths, the white light on the disc suddenly flourished, and a vivid three-dimensional image was projected in front of everyone.

The image is the size of a round table, floating a foot above the table.

Looking down from above, it is as if standing in the sky, looking down on the territory of Chang'an City within a radius of thousands of miles. The mountains are crisscrossed, the rivers are rushing, and everything is so clear and real.

Li Si's face was solemn, the magic in his hands surged, and the image in front of him began to stretch and enlarge.

In an instant, the image of Chang'an City appeared in the projection. It's just that Chang'an on the map, although it has become much larger, is only the size of a teacup, and it looks very small and exquisite.

Mo Chen looked at the map on the round table, his face contemplative.

To the west of Chang'an City, a radius of 300 miles is full of flat valleys.

If Chang'an City is the center, its east is an endless sea of guardians, and the other three directions are wrapped in the Iron Ridge Mountains, which looks like a natural giant barrier.

Among the undulating mountains, only in the north-west mountain range was a passage converted from a huge canyon to the other cities.

And in that canyon, there stood a large fortress with a radius of ten miles.

There are 20,000 standing troops stationed in the fortress all year round, but due to the attack of Noxus, the number of defenders in the fortress has increased to 50,000 two months ago.

And this strength is also the maximum force that Chang'an City can envoy without affecting its normal operation.

"According to the scout's tip, the army of Noxus is less than three hundred miles away from the fortress of Drum Mountain." Li Si pointed to the only fortress in Chang'an City with a solemn face, and whispered in a voice with a little excitement.

This battle is too important for Chang'an.

After this battle, the name of Chang'an will surely move the world!

Witness the birth of an empire like never before, and be a part of it yourself. In the face of such an important moment, how can Li Si not be excited.

"One hundred and sixty miles from the fortress of Gushan, there is a spacious valley. If I'm not wrong, the army of Noxus will be stationed there to recuperate. Zhao Hu pointed to a small valley in the mountains, and said in a solemn voice.

Noxus came too quickly, too suddenly. Because of the previous estimation error, many of the armaments in Chang'an City have not yet been sent to the Gushan Fortress.

With the 50,000 troops of the Drum Mountain Fortress, it is a very difficult task to resist the army of Noxus, even if there is a fortress to hold onto.

"Zhao Gao, has the djinn arrived at the Drum Mountain Fortress?" Mo Chen's face was calm, he looked sideways at Li Si, and asked flatly.

"Back to the Duke, they arrived as early as the morning." Li Si replied with a respectful face and a calm voice.

"Well, with them stationed, even if Noxus' 300,000 troops are all together, there will be no problem. What's more, only 100,000 people came to Noxus, and only 20,000 of them belonged to Noxus. Mo Chen nodded, his eyes staring at the map, and the expression on his face did not change much.

"The Grand Duke thinks twice, although Zhao Gao has legendary strength, it is too difficult for him to defend the Gushan Fortress alone. We only probed the opponent's strength, but we couldn't find out how many legends the opponent came, once the opponent's legendary powerhouse was numerous. When Zhao Hu heard Mo Chen's confident words, his face suddenly darkened, and he admonished anxiously.

With only seventeen people, how can they resist an army of 300,000, does the Grand Duke think that the legendary powerhouses of the other party are all unable to watch the show?

Zhao Hu looked at Mo Chen's casual attitude, and his heart was powerless.

"General rest assured, even if the powerhouses of the Noxus Vanguard Army come out, can they still match more than a dozen legendary powerhouses?" Mo Chen saw Zhao Hu's anxious face, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile.

As early as a few days ago, Mo Chen was thinking about how to make the most effective use of the reincarnation point in his hand. Valoran is a world of gods and demons, and the role of the strong in the war is very important.

It can even be said that in many wars, the strong have played an absolutely crucial role.

Faced with this world where the strong decide the winner, Mo Chen thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to improve the strength of Zhao Gao and others first.

Therefore, as early as two days before everyone left, Mo Chen had already exchanged the cultivation of the fifth-order legend for them.

However, because of the reincarnation point, except for the giant spirit and Zhao Gao, who were exchanged to the realm of the peak of the fifth order, everyone else was only exchanged for the cultivation of the middle of the fifth order.

Even so, the cultivation of seventeen people who were exchanged for the legendary realm also cost him a full 1.5 million reincarnation points.

Mo Chen believed that under the leadership of seventeen legendary masters, even if it was a real Noxian army of 100,000, it was just a matter of how much time was wasted.

"More than a dozen legendary powerhouses?" When Zhao Hu heard this, he suddenly couldn't react.

Where did there be more than a dozen legendary powerhouses in Chang'an City, even in the heyday of the Gale Empire, the number of legendary powerhouses did not exceed fifty!

And today's Valoran, the place with the most known legendary powerhouses, is the War College of the self-proclaimed guardian of Valoran.

However, the legendary powerhouses displayed by the War College only barely surpassed the Gale Empire back then, maintaining the number of more than sixty legends.

As for the two Valoran giants of Noxus and Demacia, their known legendary powerhouses are even inferior to the heyday of the Gale Empire.

Of course, Zhao Hu also believes that the amount revealed by the two giants will definitely not be the full strength of the two. However, even if they hid some of their power, they would not surpass the War College, and at most it would be similar to the heyday of the Gale Empire.

Zhao Hu's mind turned, guessing who the dozen or so legendary powerhouses Mo Chen was talking about.

He thought of Mo Chen's question just now, and instantly thought of Jin Wuwei and the Six Sword Slaves.

Zhao Hu's face was slightly stunned, and then his face was full of disbelief, his eyes looked at Mo Chen with round eyes, and his mouth opened and closed without saying a word for a long time.

Those people have seen it themselves, and they were obviously only fourth-order cultivators before. Not even a fourth-order peak, it's only been a few days of hard work, how can they all become fifth-order legends!

Is it because they can't keep up with the times, or are they all too rebellious?

Zhao Hu saw Mo Chen's demeanor that didn't seem to be fake, and he only felt a dizzy head, as if he was in a dream.

It took him half a ring to come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but guess in his heart.

Could it be that this is the secret of the Grand Duke's legendary strength, or is it that they used some forbidden secret methods!

Zhao Hu thought of those secret methods with terrible side effects, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

Thinking of this, he couldn't calm down anymore, he looked at Mo Chen worriedly, his eyes wrinkled, and he said in a low voice, "Did you use those terrible secret methods?" ”

If Mo Chen really used those secret methods of self-harm, he would rather Mo Chen surrender to Noxus than joke with his life for the sake of Chang'an City.

"Uncle Zhao rest assured, their cultivation is not made by using a secret method to forcibly improve their cultivation, and there are no side effects." Mo Chen saw the eagerness and worry on Zhao Hu's face, felt relieved in his heart, and said with a smile.

When Zhao Hu heard this, although he couldn't believe it in his heart, he was more or less relieved.

He looked at Mo Chen suspiciously, with a look of hesitation on his face, and he didn't know whether he should ask about it or not.

This thing is too strange.

More than a dozen fourth-order ordinary masters have become legendary powerhouses in just a few days. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Hu would never have believed it.

"This secret, but you can't tell Uncle Zhao until the threat of Noxus is solved." Seeing the hesitation on Zhao Hu's face, Mo Chen winked at him and said with a smile.

Zhao Hu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then reacted that Mo Chen was retaliating for his refusal to answer his question a few days ago.

After he figured it out, his face showed a funny look, he rolled his eyes at Mo Chen, and shook his head helplessly.

This kid is really as cautious as before.

"Alright, let's get back to what we just talked about." Mo Chen smiled and did not continue to dwell on this issue.

The issue of the main god is very important, although Zhao Hu has always been very friendly, but Mo Chen has not yet considered whether he should confess this matter to him for the time being.

After all, the matter of recruiting reincarnators is too important, even more important than Chang'an City!

Mo Chen looked sideways at Li Si in his heart, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Aiqing thinks that we are waiting for the other party's army to gather, and then solve the other party in one fell swoop with absolute strength. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's forces have not gathered now, and defeat them individually. ”

Li Si stared at the map projection with distracted eyes, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Although the best way is to wait for all the armies to gather, and then solve them in one fell swoop, so as to reduce the possibility of variables." ”

"But now in Chang'an, people can't live in panic, and there will be changes in the long run. Now it takes an unprecedented victory to calm people's hearts. ”

At this point, Li Si said no more.

He believed that Mo Chen would understand what kind of decision to make.

When Mo Chen heard this, his face showed a contemplative look. (To be continued.) )
