The empire had been prepared long before the great changes in heaven and earth, and one of the most important points was the construction of gathering places.

The gathering is similar to a city.

The purpose of the empire-building gathering place is to fill in the gaps in case of emergency. It turned out to be correct. The gathering places are mostly in remote areas, and perhaps the large cities in the middle of the continent can rely on strong force to resist the legions of the dead, and the survival of those small towns is largely due to militarized management of the gathering places.

Now 56 cities in Changping Province have fallen, the people's hearts are scattered, everyone is in danger, and when fleeing, the gathering place is more practical than the city.

Chu Hongyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, it is not impossible to build a gathering place, but "The gathering place needs too many resources, and we can't take it out for a while, after all, the people's hearts are scattered now." ”

Chu Hongyan was obviously a little hesitant. She had rarely been so helpless in the past. It's just that she herself understands that in order to clear Changping Province as soon as possible, in order to deal with the challenge from Shunyi Province, alien races, and monsters, she is persecuting ordinary warriors too hard.

This is the most taboo thing for the Lord to do—to be in a hurry. But it was so urgent, and thousands of people could die every day, and she had to do something. If Changping Province had been cleaned up under heavy pressure, Chu Hongyan's previous oppressive policy would naturally not be a problem.

But now the counterattack of the Legion of the Dead has interrupted the cleanup process, and the small contradictions accumulated before have an opportunity to erupt.

Now the only one who can prevent the conflict from erupting is Gu Dongping, in his opinion.

Before Chu Hongyan made a decision, she herself understood this. Without waiting for Gu Dongping to answer, she said, "I will hand over the temporary commander-in-chief of the battle line to you, and then go back to Luquan County to help you stabilize the rear." ”

Gu Dongping was stunned when he heard this, this is equivalent to giving him a high-sounding reason to control Changping Province, which is equivalent to the spokesperson of the empire, which has a lot of benefits for him, but this is not what he wants.

"You don't have to worry about resources. Changping Province is not as simple as you think, since the Zhang family's accident, it has been infiltrated by many forces, and it is not a problem to build a gathering place with them to join. Gu Dongping said in a stop.

He had some thoughts about Donglu, but as time passed, he was not in a hurry. After all, the empire only has one native artifact master in the Eastern Continent, and impetuousness will only make him fall into passivity, but it is just right not to hurry.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. Chu Hongyan made up her mind, "Now that I go out and call, only the Imperial Military Department will obey the order, who will obey me among those families and adventure teams?"

Gu Dongping sighed and didn't say anything more, Chu Hongyan himself was very assertive, since he had made up his mind, there was no need to say more.

......

After the news of Gu Dongping's trip to Changping Province was settled, a mysterious figure was ushered in in the Luquan County City Lord's Mansion.

After the battle between Gu Dongping and Samba, to prevent the alien races from breaking through, Chang Lin came to Luquan County to sit down. An unusually handsome man quietly walked into Chang Lin's courtyard, and Chang Lin, who was the master of the artifact, didn't react for a while.

When that person approached step by step, Chang Lin, who was sitting and lying in the long pavilion and cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing the man, Chang Lin slowly collected his work, and then complained a little, "Didn't you say that you shouldn't rush to contact me?" Although there was blame in his tone, it could be seen that Chang Lin was very jealous of the people who came, and there was a faint flattery.

"Your Highness's breakthrough through the middle stage of the abyss is really gratifying. The man smiled and walked into the long pavilion, in which there was a small square table with a pot of good wine baked on it, and the man's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he drank it to himself. As if he were the master

Neither of them spoke for a while.

"Is it just for a glass of wine that the Holy Son came in person?" Chang Lin saw that the man was not in a hurry or slow, anger flashed in his eyes, and he finally spoke first. The man still smiled, "The Black Tiger asked me to come here to ask His Highness, do you still remember the promise you made at that time?"

Chang Lin snorted coldly, "I naturally remember, what do you want?"

When Lin went to Shunyi Province to investigate, he didn't get away halfway, and the Black Tiger and the Holy Son of the Spirit Clan didn't want to break the net with him. At that time, Chang Lin made some promises. Promises are the most non-binding, but after development, Chang Lin knew that he was thinking simply.

The Son is a figure who has lived for an unknown number of years, and has insight into the weaknesses of human nature.

The handsome man put down the wine glass and took out a spar, which was similar to the core of the monster, but it was completely different, the power was purer, and it was more powerful.

"This is a fourth-order late-stage Spirit Clan elder core, and having this one can guarantee that you will at least break through to the late stage of the Abyss. The man turned the spar in his hand and said, "The biggest difference between the core bred by the spirit race and the monster You should know that this one is enough to prolong your life for another ten years." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Chang Lin asked a second time, this time knowing he couldn't refuse.

The man ignored it, and said to himself, "This is a deposit, I will prepare two more for you after the matter is completed, even if the effect is reduced, it is enough to extend your life for another ten years, and when the time comes, your strength will break through the late stage of the abyss." The man pushed the hedron forward in his hand and continued, "I don't need you to make difficult decisions, and I don't need you to go against your own principles, it only takes a few days before you disappear for a few days." Don't let anyone find you. ”

Chang Lin didn't take it but fell into a contradiction, he knew that the price he paid must not be as simple as the point in front of him, but could he really refuse?

The martial arts realm that has not been moving for many years has broken through one after another in the past two months, from the early stage of the abyss to the middle of the current stage, not to mention the cleansing effect of the core of the spirit clan, just a breakthrough in the martial arts, and he will also extend his life for at least ten years. And he is different from ordinary people, in order to maintain his youth and beauty, he needs to pay more life.

And breakthroughs are addictive.

Seeing Chang Lin gently pick up the spar, the handsome man smiled, and then his figure disappeared suddenly, and only one sentence echoed in Chang Lin's ears, "I will inform you again of the specific time, you can hurry up and refine the things in your hand." ”

When the Holy Son left, Chang Lin held the spar in the palm of his hand.

No matter what their plans are, I am the greatest between heaven and earth!

......

Gu Dongping originally just wanted to enlighten some Chu Hongyan, but he didn't expect her to be really depressed. Thinking about it, in just two months, Donglu doesn't know how many thousands of people have died, and the pressure that Chu Hongyan has been on the front line is not something ordinary people can imagine. Unlike the army that is in charge of the word, just advancing in the prevarication of the sect family, I don't know how much effort it takes.

On the bank of the Fuliu River, misty, Gu Dongping sent Chu Hongyan and Hongmeng away, Chu Hongyan returned to Xuanwu Province, and Gu Dongping felt a little at ease.
