The unpredictable wind blew from all directions, and the gray-green low woods swayed in irregular waves, faintly revealing the outlines of two ruined castles in the distance.

Yes, the castle.

It's hard to imagine seeing something so old, but with reference to the manor you saw in Qingfu City, it doesn't seem unacceptable to see a castle here.

Chen An stood on the lookout of a castle and said to Shen Lin behind him, "This is the three auxiliary cities of Tan, Qian, and Sui?"

Three days have passed since the clan council, and the final blood demon tide preparation problem is still the confrontation between Jiang Luhan and Jiang Mi, which has nothing to do with Chen An.

When I came here, I realized that the so-called auxiliary castle was not a small castle like the Gaoyang clan station, but stood on the ground in the form of a castle.

Shen Lin still looked like a jack of all trades and said, "You may have misunderstood the matter of opening up the auxiliary city. The residence of the Gaoyang clan is not so much an auxiliary city as it is the acropolis of Qingfu City. And the real development of auxiliary cities is not to build a city in the wilderness as you might imagine, but to explore the ruins. ”

Chen An was surprised: "Explore the ruins?"

"The Eastern Wilderness has an ancient heritage, and it was no worse than the Central Plains 10,000 years ago, but it only became what it is now because of an unknown disaster. At that time, there were no demons, and the human race flourished on the earth, leaving behind countless brilliant civilizations. Even the original Sealing Technique of the Soul Sealing Art was a product of that era. Because of that unknown disaster, all the inheritances were buried, and people could only survive in this disgusting place. Therefore, while defending against demons, we are also constantly excavating ancient monuments, in order to change the situation that we can only tremble under the threat of demons. ”

Chen An groaned, "Is it a change now?"

"Of course, the original sealing technique of the soul sealing technique was excavated in a monument, which created the city-state of all races, and when the city-state of all races did not appear more than a thousand years ago, there was no decent human power in the Eastern Wilderness. You must know that there is no strength in the Eastern Wilderness, everything is empty talk, although the magic of the magic is indeed spread since ancient times, but at that time, even if it was a large tribe of 10,000 people, there were only three or four people who could cultivate the magic power, compared to the demons that were almost all over the Eastern Wilderness, what can three or four supernatural people do? Even in addition to these three or four people, the strongest of the more than 10,000 people in the entire tribe can only be regarded as ordinary people who are strong and strong, and have some fighting ability, so the soul sealing technique is our greatest reliance on changing our fate. Shen Lin's tone was embarrassed, as if he had witnessed those difficult and eventful years.

"This castle is the excavated monument?" Chen An, as an outsider, did not feel the slightest empathy, and carefully discerned them, and found that the terrain of these castles was not low, and it did not look like they were dug out of the soil.

Shen Lin opened his mind reading and saw what Chen An was thinking, he was almost not angry, and said angrily: "Excavation is discovery and excavation, can't these castles be discovered by our exploration?"

Chen An was embarrassed, he was always used to looking at things from the perspective of Daqian, forgetting that this was in the Eastern Wilderness, and there were dangers everywhere outside the city, and ordinary people would not dare to go out of the city without being a cloud boat. I don't even know what it's like ten miles away from the city. Only if you form a hunting team above the middle grade, you dare to stay away from the city and explore the wilderness.

In this case, hunting is extremely dangerous, let alone doing archaeological work. It is already the limit to be able to find monuments on the ground, and how dare you dig into the ground.

However, this also shows that the Twelve Cities have not been complacent, and despite such and such difficulties, they have been developing and developing. The original purpose of the hunting team was not to hunt demons, but to explore the unknown.

Thinking of this, Chen An also understood why the people of the Twelve Cities did not flee in the face of these ruins, but instead diverted the already scarce population into this place to form a gathering point for human beings. It's a step-by-step, step-by-step process.

Shen Lin said again: "The Twelve Cities have actually been exploring the Eastern Wilderness, trying to find a way for the Eastern Wilderness to become like this, I remember you asked me about the Blood Moon, in fact, not only the Blood Moon, but any other signs of abnormal changes, the adults of the Ten Thousand Clans City-State have considered it back then. There are even many people who explore the east alone regardless of it, trying to find out what the problem is, and there are many super powerhouses among them, but unfortunately, they never came back. Now to explore the historical sites, build auxiliary cities, develop the population, and advance step by step to the east, it is the safest measure for the twelve cities to explore the Eastern Wilderness, and we believe that if we continue like this, we can one day conquer the Eastern Wilderness and find the problem. ”

Looking at the light flashing on Shen Lin's face at this time, Chen An really couldn't bear to hit him, but when it was about the blood moon, he still wanted to ask clearly: "Why do you keep going east?"

"Because the west has been explored", Shen Lin looked as a matter of course, but after only a moment, he confessed in frustration: "Actually, the Twelve Cities are the mining areas of Daqian from the west, in fact, they were originally tribal ruins in ancient times, and the city-states of all ethnic groups established cities in the east, and after the defeat of Daqian, we moved here again." It is not so much that we are exploring the eastern wilderness in the east, but that it is the cadres who are driving us eastward. ”

Chen An was speechless, but it was frustrating enough to think about it, the Twelve Cities did have the ambition to conquer the Eastern Wilderness, but there were cadres in the west to chase after them, blood demons in the east to block the way, and there were aliens in the inside, the reality was really cruel.

He sorted out his thoughts a little and was about to continue to ask again, but saw Jin Ming coming over.

"Commander, we have completed the handover, and we have made a preliminary inventory, and the migration of more than 700 households has almost been completed before the three castles, plus the more than 300 families we brought, as well as our own people, there are almost 5,500 people. ”

Jin Ming arranged his subordinates and came behind Chen An to make a simple report.

Chen An's eyes lit up, a thousand households are not even a town in Daqian, but it is a remarkable number in the Eastern Wilderness, Uncle Han is still full of meaning, leaving a good foundation for himself, there are people in the Eastern Wilderness who are fundamental, and everything else is false, but this also confirms from the side that the Gao Yang clan attaches great importance to these three auxiliary cities, and they should really be regarded as a retreat in the future.

In fact, Jiang Luhan arranged him here at the beginning, he thought that Jiang Luhan didn't trust him and wanted to set up some tests, but now it seems that there are tests, but more of them are reserved back-ups, in case the war against the big cadres is not effective, he can also retreat here to rebuild the city.

The cadres are coming, they can only come west, the three towns are east of the Twelve Liancheng, even if the cadre army is sweeping, it is difficult to reach here, unless you really make up your mind to completely destroy the Twelve Liancheng, press the border with a million troops, blockade and advance layer by layer, and pull out all the strongholds within 100 miles, in order to threaten the safety of the three towns, otherwise there is really no need to worry too much.

As for whether it is impossible for the cadres to do this, Chen Anxin is exposed, and the Zhenguo Gong of the year may have the courage to do so, but now...... Hehe.

"What about the guards of the three towns?" Chen An was happy first, and then asked the topic he was most concerned about, the Eastern Wilderness was extremely dangerous, and the matter of the guards could not be sloppy.

Jin Ming said truthfully: "It's still the Gaoyang clan's soldiers, they will evacuate in a month, and we can only rely on ourselves at that time." ”

"The strength improvement is not overnight, and the hunting team naturally cannot be established so quickly, so use your people on top first, and then make plans later. "Chen An didn't bring many people from the Gao Yang clan this time, they all relied on the Qianmin, but the Qianmin couldn't form a combat force at all in this environment full of evil spirits. Even if the more than 200 people under Jin Ming are considered elite, it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, after all, the time is too short, and there are only thirty or forty people who have initially fused the soul card, how can they compare with the clan soldiers of the Gaoyang clan?

He thought in his heart that once his research had results, he could immediately pull up a team that was unique and capable of fighting, but now, he might have to get through the initial difficult times.

So he ordered: "In the next few days, I will go out to clean up some threatening monsters around, and after I come back, I will retreat and stabilize the skyrocketing cultivation, and the affairs in the three towns will be handed over to you and Elder Wen first, you are in ruins." ”

Jin Ming immediately bowed his head and said, "This is what we should do." ”

He and Wen Liang have reached a consensus, at this stage, Chen An's combat power is the only guarantee for them to gain a foothold in the three towns, so Chen An wants to be the shopkeeper, they have no objections, and even Wen Liang is very happy to have a stage where no one is hindered to fully display his abilities.

After Jin Ming left, he looked at Shen Lin again and said, "Don't think about anything else these days, concentrate on breaking through the four grades, we are now short of manpower, and high-end combat power is becoming more and more important." ”

Shen Lin nodded, he had indeed been stuck for a long time at this stage, and then he heard Chen An teasing: "Don't set up the hunting team when the time comes, their hunting head is still a medium grade, it will make people laugh off their big teeth." ”

"What are you talking about?" Shen Lin was stunned.

Chen An imitated Shen Lin's usual appearance, and smiled very poorly: "Let you be the head hunter, otherwise?"

Shen Linqi said, "What about you?"

Chen An smiled: "I am now the commander, and then lead the hunting team, do you think it is appropriate?"

Shen Lin hesitated again: "That...... Where's Jin Ming?"

"I'm the commander now, who stipulates that there can only be one hunting team under the commander's command, you look at Uncle Han, if you have someone in your hand and resources, you can form two hunting teams. "Theoretically, Chen An's current status is the same as Jiang Luhan's, no one stipulates that the existence of the commander Su Lao can only be escorted by one hunting team, and Xing Mu only has one hunting team under their command, in short, because of limited resources.

"Can it still be like this?" Although Shen Lin was not interested in being a head hunter, Chen An attached importance to him, which still made him more happy, these days, Chen An entrusted everything to the gentle master and apprentice, Shen Lin was nothing on the surface, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"So you better spend some effort, I'll go out of the city to sweep the demons later, and you go back to comprehend the supernatural powers first. ”

Sending Shen Lin away again, the smile on Chen An's face quickly cooled, has he been able to find a way to improve his strength in a month?
