Song Zining and the other three were at the head of the fortress, waiting for news of a thousand nights. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ji Tianqing and Li Ranlan also failed to come as promised, but the second daughter was not very familiar with the three of them, so Zhao Yuying didn't care.

Several people walked out of the fortress and carried the body of the four-armed warrior not far away back to the fortress, and another person came to the three of them and said, "Elder Qi is invited." ”

Qi Lao is highly respected, and his own combat power is strong, and the three of them are very respectful in front of him, and they salute first, and then sit down.

Qi is over eighty years old, but he looks no more than in his early fifties, with a thin figure, a pale face, and a pair of eyes that reveal a little essence. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that he would be able to move that giant bow that was as tall as a person, and with an arrow in his hand, he would have the power of an eighth-level gun.

Qi Lao lived in only three rooms, inside and outside, located at the back of the main building. The living room outside is not big, and the layout is also very simple, except for a set of tea sets that are quite exquisite, there are nothing exquisite.

Qi Lao stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm a little simpler here, you are all from everyone, so let's do it." ”

Song Zining hurriedly said: "Where, where." ”

Qi Lao sighed lightly and said, "I think that when I first entered the maelstrom, I was not a few years older than you, and my cultivation was still lower than yours. Our Qi family is just barely a low-grade family, and when I was sent into the maelstrom, I was almost bankrupt. Now that I see a few of you, I know that the eight words of the family lord and the endless inheritance are true. ”

Song Zining knew a lot of things in the past, and responded: "Old Qi was a hero back then, and he guarded the fortress for decades, and he worked hard and made great achievements, and the empire will not forget it." ”

Qi Lao shook his head and sighed: "I was lucky back then, I got some resources in the maelstrom, and I crossed the Divine Commander Heavenly Pass in one fell swoop. But after all, the foundation laid when he was young was not good, and the level of the Force was a little low. Alas, it's just that if you want to change the exercises, it's too late. ”

Wei Potian said: "With your military merits, you should be able to exchange for a Tongtian inheritance." Even if you don't need it, it will always be useful for future generations. ”

Qi Lao immediately nodded and said, "This is right. It's a pity that the descendants of the family have no future, and they can only count on a few more generations. ”

Wei Potian was the son of the world many years ago, and now, the succession of the head of the family is already a sure thing. The Wei family has also been focusing on cultivation, so he focuses on the long-term development of the family in everything. Qi Lao was born in a small family and has been the giant pillar of the family for decades, so he and Wei Potian have a rather speculative conversation.

Zhao Yuying was impatient with trouble, and she didn't even bother to participate in the affairs of her own Youguo Mansion, and traveled around the world all day long, participating in wars everywhere. However, Song Zining founded Ningyuan Heavy Industry, but he was ready to start a business and industry, and also abandoned the traditional practice of family business. Therefore, the two of them did not resonate with Qi Lao.

After chatting for a while, Qi Lao finally got to the point: "I have been in this maelstrom for decades, and these days are always whimsical, but I have never had before. And those four-armed samurai who appeared outside the fortress would not come over for no reason. This kind of thing in the core area, but you can't stay here for long. ”

What Qi Lao said makes sense. Song Zining said: "It's really weird, but there is no way to detect the heavenly machine in the maelstrom, so you can only improvise." It's a shame to say that we landed in the core area this time, and in order to escape the cold and lonely night, we escaped almost non-stop, and we didn't know much about the situation in the core area. It's not very clear why they came here. ”

Song Zining didn't mention it, and Zhao Yuying and the others naturally wouldn't say that it was because Zhao Ruoxi stole into the maelstrom with Manshu Sawa that it caused a huge turmoil.

Qi Lao nodded, his face was worried, and he stroked his beard and said, "It doesn't matter how it causes. Now I'm only worried about the emptiness of the fortress, and if there are hundreds or thousands of four-armed samurai, then we will definitely not be able to defend ourselves. Now there is only one small floating ship in the fortress that is able to return to the Empire. ”

"Only one?" all three of them changed their faces.

"How can there be enough one? Isn't there usually three ships in the fortress?" Song Zining asked with a frown.

Qi Lao smiled bitterly, beckoned to the three of them, and said, "You come with me and take a look." ”

The three of them followed Qi Lao out of the main building and came to a closed courtyard of the fortress. On one side of the courtyard is a row of houses with workshops, and in the middle of the courtyard is the keel of a floating ship. The keel had just been processed, and there were lots of timber stacked next to it, and the next step was to build the structural framework.

Song Zining himself is in the battleship business, and when he sees the keel and the materials next to him, and then looks at those workshops, he knows that this is a workshop for building floating ships. It's just that the ship-making process is obviously the same as that of hundreds of years ago, and the power still relies on the power sail, and the float and defense all rely on the Force array.

Such floating boats are basically made by hand. However, the wood it uses is taken from the maelstrom, which is so strong and tough that even now, it can be used directly as armor plates on floating ships.

Qi Lao pointed to the keel and said, "How did you come to be these shuttle floating boats? Each one must be made here on the spot, one is built every year, and it can only be returned once every two years, one is loaded with people, and one is loaded with cargo." Now the whirlpool passage has just opened, and there is still more than half a year before the new ship is scheduled to be built. The one that can be used now is usually prepared for emergencies. ”

If it's just one ship, it's serious. Song Zining pondered for a moment and asked, "Old Qi, if you want to return to the empire, do you have to use this floating boat?"

Qi Lao said: "This empty boat can not only protect, but more importantly, it can discern the direction, so as to ensure that it returns to the empire itself." Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to go out and go headlong into the eternal night?"

Song Zining asked again: "I mean, if you don't use this shuttle empty boat, can you pass through the passage alive?"

Qi Lao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "You may be able to, Miss Zhao is about to be seriously injured, as for Wei Shizi, it's better not to try." ”

Zhao Yuying suddenly stopped, "What do you mean? You mean Song Xiaoqi is better than me?"

Qi Lao has seen a lot of Tianjiao of these family lords, and he is not annoyed, coughed, and said, "It's not that he is better than you." It's just that the secret method he cultivated is more suitable for surviving in the space passage. ”

Zhao Yuying stretched her brows and returned to her smugness. But then she thought of the real question, and changed color: "Wait!Old Qi, do you mean that if the four-armed warriors attack and there is no way, we will leave them here?"

Qi Lao said slowly: "What the old man means is that if this really happens, we have to make a charter in advance." Otherwise, when things come to an end, it will be too late to panic again. ”

Song Zining frowned, he had already thought about what Qi Lao meant. The fortress of the empire is not large, and for the sake of defense, it can be stuffed with a few hundred people at most. And it is difficult to say whether the imperial powerhouses in the whirlpool can add up to more than 100. Once surrounded by an army of four-armed samurai, the only way to abandon the city and retreat to the empire is to survive. Otherwise, let alone defend the city, even the defenders of the city will be buried together.

As soon as he was thinking about it, a person suddenly flew over, and said in a lost voice: "Old Qi, it's not a good thing! There are a lot of four-armed warriors outside the fortress!"

Qi Lao was startled, but did not answer, flew up, and climbed the city wall. Song Zining and the others immediately followed, stood at the head of the city, and looked into the distance. Smoke and dust billowed from there, and four-armed warriors came out of the smoke and dust, swarming in. In addition to the four-armed samurai, there are countless two-armed people, the front one holds a sword and a shield, like a battle formation, and the back is of all kinds, carrying all kinds of family styles, and some people even drive the native beast of burden, on which are placed all kinds of supplies. Looking at this posture, it is not only a war, but also a preparation to move over and settle down.

"This, this ......" With Qi Lao's usual knowledge, his hands trembled slightly.

Song Zining sighed lightly and said, "You can't do anything, let's go." ”

Zhao Yuying stopped doing it, and said angrily: "Let's go, what should Xiao Wu do? You can throw him here? Potian, what do you mean?"

Wei Potian's face was also solemn. During this period of time, he had a layer of stiff and short beards on his face, and he looked much more stable. He looked into the distance and didn't speak for a while, and then Fang said in a low voice: "That's it." ”

There were more than 100 four-armed samurai, and there were tens of thousands of two-armed men. When the huge figure in the distance that almost broke the world appeared, even Zhao Yuying couldn't speak.

A moment later, a small floating boat soared into the sky and flew into the darkness of the sky.

The flying boat was crowded, and they were all gloomy and silent. Qi Lao finally sighed and said, "When there was no great whirlpool, didn't our human race come over the same? Besides, we also left the method of making boats, and if they were lucky, they could also make shuttle boats again and return to the empire." ”

The shuttle finally flew into the darkness and vanished. The fortress below was already crowded with men with arms, rioting and dismantling everything they could. In a matter of moments, the fortress was reduced to a pile of rubble, with only the empty half-section of the main building and a few sections of the city wall, still telling stories of the past.

The mighty multi-armed people swept across the land like a torrent and went away into the distance.

In the neutral place, the edge of the East China Sea land mass is still the same, and the changes in the outside do not seem to have any effect here. The perennial cold wind here is like a knife, and the void storm is raging, which can be described as dangerous every step, so no one will want to hang around here.

A figure came quickly, skillfully avoiding the spatial rift in the aisle, and came to the Duke warship lying flat on the ground.

"Master, things have been done. ”

As he spoke, Callinan opened his backpack and revealed the little girl inside. The little one looked like he was seven or eight years old, and he was so pretty. She slept soundly with her body together.

A faint voice came from the battleship: "So fast, it's done well." Didn't you run into any trouble?"

Callinan smiled bitterly and said, "There is a way for the master to explain, so she is willing to obey and follow me." Otherwise, I might not be able to bring her back. ”

"Didn't those natives embarrass you?"

"When I got there, the whole tribe was dead. ”

The night pupil sighed, as if a little surprised. The hatch of the battleship opened, and a stream of blood gas poked out, engulfing the little girl inside, and the hatch was immediately closed.

Instead of entering the battleship, Callinan went to a few stone houses nearby, which were his new residence. He took off his armor and looked at the large bruises on his body that were difficult to dissipate, and couldn't help but smile wryly. If he hadn't brought out the token in time, he wouldn't have been able to bring this little guy back.

Galinan let out a sigh of relief, feeling that the tasks assigned by his master were getting harder and harder.
