"Because of the bones and tendons of the dragon used in the hull, we gave it that name. After smiling shyly, he reached out and scratched his cheek: "It is precisely because of the use of so many dragon bones that this battleship is not only sturdy in structure, but also has excellent seaworthiness and endurance. ”。

Although what he said was only a theoretical value, it was inevitable that there was a faint pride and pride between his eyebrows, and even Itachi Cangshan, who had always been silent, also had this pride in his eyes.

This is simply an aircraft carrier in the underworld, which makes Xiao Shizhu breathtaking.

While amazed, he couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, if there were thirty such warships in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, paired with some Cangshan ships and sea falcons, to form a huge mixed fleet, then he, Xiao Shizhu, could send the strength of one of his own armies, 280,000 ghost soldiers, to any continent in the underworld anytime and anywhere.

And if he had 300 of these warships, paired with aerial chariots such as flying thunder vehicles, then the Nine Shadows Kingdom would be able to crisscross the six seas in the underworld, and it would be easy to cut off anyone's sea transportation.

Thinking about this, Xiao Shizhu couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"After the performance tests are completed, we will make a detailed report and hand it over to Mrs. Lai, who will then report back to you. Just when he was still excited, Itachi Cangshan, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "At that time, please ask the lord to decide whether to build a few more ships." ”。

As he said this, Itachi's brow furrowed slightly, his previous pride replaced by a faint sense of worry.

To achieve strong wood, that is, unsinkable wood is not a rare plant in the underworld, but it is controlled by Emperor Xudu, and it is not easy to get it.

They have used up all the strong wood reserves in the Nine Shadows Kingdom to make this battleship. Itachi Kurayama was more worried that once the Iron Dragon was successfully launched into the sea. They truthfully reported the data, and the country did not have so many reserves of strong wood, and considering the various aspects, it would not be produced in large quantities.

Then the results of more than two years of research by them will be meaningless.

"If the performance is as good as you budget, I won't skimp on the money. Xiao Shizhu, who saw through Itachi Cangshan's worries at a glance, slowly turned around and faced the direction of the road, and promised to Ju Yu and Itachi Cangshan behind him: "When the time comes, you can just let go and build, you don't have to worry about the materials you need, including strong wood dragon tendons, I will find a way to help you get them." ”。

After finishing speaking, he slowly left the slipway with the ghost mother and the accompanying guards.

After returning to the shrine and retreating left and right, Xiao Shizhu stroked his palms again and again, and shouted three "good!" words. As long as the trial voyage of the Iron Dragon Ship is successful, with the air cavalry and flying army, as well as the waves and boat ghosts escorting under the sea, as well as the sharks, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will no longer suffer a big loss in the naval battle.

And the unfavorable situation of a sea war in which the defense of Shuoyue Island was dominated by a land battle and supplemented by a naval battle will no longer appear.

Seeing him excitedly walking around the shrine hall, the ghost mother didn't say anything, just sat on the side with a faint smile on her face, and looked at Xiao Shizhu quietly.

Although a strong sailor is not a necessary condition for a strong country, having a strong sailor can guarantee to a large extent the sea power of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, which has both land and sea.

At least that's the case in the underworld today.

Just when he was excited and happy, there was a sudden urgent voice from the fungus man outside the door: "Lord Qi, there are two urgent scripts that you need to decide personally. ”。

Xiao Shizhu didn't panic or be shocked when he heard the word urgent, let alone suspect what was going on, but just said, "Take it in." After that, he walked to the ghost mother and sat down.

Immediately after the door of the hall opened, Shen Ji walked in quickly holding two books, handed them to Xiao Shizhu and stood aside.

After Xiao Shizhu calmed down the excitement in his heart, Zhan read the first book and took a closer look, only to see that this book was from Lai Yueqi's hand, and every word was full of a delicate notebook, which described in detail the causes and consequences of why Hai Laoweng's son Hai was exhausted, and why he came to take refuge in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

After reading it two or three times, Xiao Shizhu handed the recital to the ghost mother who was sitting aside and had curiously stretched out his head to look at the ghost mother for a long time, and shouted at the open door of the hall: "Tiger Biao!"

Hu Biao, the demon soul waiting outside the door, immediately responded to the call.

"Immediately order us to lurk in the Six Heavens Continent as a spy ghost, and secretly investigate the soul of a man named Hai Quan, whose father and he are both firearms smugglers in the black market. Xiao Shizhu, who was not carried away by excitement, said slowly to Hu Biao after a little thought: "Focus on checking whether this ghost has been secretly bought by the Beiyin Dynasty." ”。

What he said was also the suggestion that Lai Yueqi mentioned in the playbook, although she knew the identity of Hai Quan, but after all, the other party was from Liutianzhou, and even Lai Yueqi suggested that Xiao Shizhu should be a little more cautious in dealing with this ghost talent.

After Hu Biao took those words to heart, he answered and retreated.

Xiao Shizhu opened the second notebook, which was the news that Lin Cong asked the fungus people to transmit, first let Shenji know, and then Shenji copied it word for word on the notebook.

And the content of it is naturally proposed by the so-called envoy of the Corpse Country, the plan of the two countries to flank the army of Xiazhou in the north and south after the alliance between the two countries.

In the second half, it is Lin Cong's analysis.

The cool north wind swept through the shrine and poured into the shrine from the delicate carvings on the windows, bringing a sharp breath to break through the air, and then blowing the drapery hanging from the beams for a while.

Xiao Shizhu, who was still smiling lightly, changed color after reading this book.

He himself is a master of fraud and lying, and at a glance, he can see that the corpse soul king is more than the corpse and only thinks about taking advantage of Xiao Jiujiu, who does not want to suffer.

At that moment, he slammed the notebook on the table in his hand, and said to the fungus man Shenji in a deep voice: "Reply to Lin Cong, it is not allowed to enter the Xiazhou Kingdom in the west and form an alliance with the Corpse Country, let him do a good job in the post-war reconstruction of Aoki County." ”......

"Since the Huaishan granary has been lost, forget it. Sitting in the depths of the Heavenly Temple in the Northern Yin, the Emperor Xudu looked at the Wheel King who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, trembling, and sighed lightly.

Whether it is the Huaishan granary or the Huaishui port, as well as the defeat of the last fleet, it makes the Emperor Xudu depressed in his chest, but fortunately, he is also a ghost male, and he has dominated the underworld for thousands of years, even if he is moody, but he will not be provoked at any time.

What's more, at this time, he was carrying out the strategy of first easy and then difficult that he had decided with Zong Tian, and many land ghosts and people in the underworld, as well as materials, were still in his hands.

Whether it is the granary of Huaishan or the fleet at the end of his hand, it is just a drop in the bucket of wealth in his hands.

So after thinking about this, although Emperor Xudu was still angry, he still suppressed his anger and said that bland sentence.

Now he can't continue to fight with Xiao Shizhu, he must accumulate capital in concealment, and he is giving Jiuyouguo and Xiao Shizhu a fatal blow.

In this way, the ghosts of the underworld can once again fear the court and obey him again.

The Wheel King, who was crawling on the ground covered with cold jade bricks, continued to bury his head and pressed his forehead tightly to the floor, but when he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he felt relieved in his heart.

"Quickly go and repair the port and granary, and then urgently allocate grain and grass materials from other places and transport them to Dongyizhou. After a while, Emperor Xudu waved his hand and signaled that the Wheel King could retreat: "You still have to deal with the logistics of the Eastern Expeditionary Army." ”。

"No. "After the Wheel King of Thanksgiving Dade three times to Emperor Xudu, he got up and retreated.

When he walked out of the main hall and descended the stone steps down the abutment, he saw a cloaked in the shape of a cruciform with a belt on the opposite side, knotted on the chest, and a large round deck and cloak on the left and right. And the demon spirit with a knee skirt on the left and right under the belt came towards him.

This demon soul has a dragon head and a human body, but the hand has no fingers but bird claws, and the arm is covered with this layer of feathers, which is Ji Meng. In terms of appearance, it is really a little similar to the dragon king enshrined in the temple on earth.

But speaking of this demon soul Ji Meng, he joined the Northern Yin Dynasty after the Emperor Xudu monopolized the underworld, and has been sent by the Emperor Xudu to the area of Wild Ghost Village on the southwest coast of Liutianzhou, where he recruited troops and created the first line of defense in the southwest for Liutianzhou.

Most of the wild ghosts who have no relatives or friends to collect their bones will be sent over there and handed over to Ji Meng's management.

It is precisely because of this that this ghost is not often in the court, and although he knows the kings of Hades, he is not familiar with them. When he passed by the Wheel King, he only bowed his head slightly, even if he said hello.

After that, he continued to stride towards the Heavenly Temple in the North Yin Center.

The Wheel King didn't ask much, let alone stop to look, and continued to walk towards the outside of the palace.

Ji Meng walked to the front of the main hall, and a ghost slave who was waiting by the door greeted him, and after taking the sword he untied from his waist, he said respectfully: "General, go in quickly, Your Majesty is waiting for you." ”。

Ji Meng nodded and walked towards the main hall.

After entering the main hall, he looked around and looked at the jade bricks and golden pillars on the hall, as well as the caisson with a dragon circle in the middle of the hall and twenty-four ghosts of different shapes carved on the outside, and secretly sighed in his heart: "Calculate carefully, I haven't been to the palace for three hundred years." ”。

At the same time, after standing still in front of Emperor Xudu, he knelt on the ground in a full robe and respectfully kowtowed to the other party three times.

"Ji Meng, raise your head. Emperor Xudu, who had calmed down a lot, said lightly.

"No. When Ji Meng opened his mouth in response, he finally spat out a cold white mist; When it is not the same as the cause, Ji Meng will do this every time he opens his mouth.

"Three years ago, I gave you a secret edict to secretly recruit and train troops in the southwest of Liutian Continent. Emperor Xudu stroked the long hair on the neck of the eight-legged man lying beside him, and then slowly asked, "How many ghost soldiers do you have in your hands at this time?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general has trained 370,000 soldiers for Chaotian at this time. Ji Meng, who had already raised his head, still didn't dare to look directly at the blazing eyes of Emperor Xudu, and after a little reflection, he said unhurriedly: "Among them, there are 300,000 human souls and 70,000 demon souls. Most of the human souls are purple-skinned and red-eyed, with sharp yellow teeth, and are good at changing shapes, and their bodies are also large and small yellow father ghosts. Now these ghost soldiers can transform into smoke anytime and anywhere, and maintain this form for a quarter of an hour. On the battlefield, you can easily sneak behind enemy lines and catch the enemy off guard. ”。

"Speaking with confidence, it seems that you have trained them all to be good at fighting?" Emperor Xudu narrowed his eyes, and a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Yes!" Ji Meng nodded without hesitation, and said categorically: "As long as Your Majesty gives an order, the last general can lead them to the expedition at any time;

His sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the Heavenly Temple of the Northern Yin Central.

"Then what if you want to lead the army westward and fight Ji Xuanyuan?" After looking at Ji Meng, who was full of confidence, with interest, Emperor Xudu asked again.
