Chapter III Operational Meetings
Mountains of supplies.
More inspiring than any empty words.
Yan Jing specially asked Hu Ying to throw out all the materials in front of everyone, in order to achieve this effect.
Recently, he has descended to the Shenzhou world many times, although he can't even manifest himself, but simple communication and listening to the situation report of Fu Shudao and others are not a problem, so he knows very well what the fleet is in need of now.
In order to help to the greatest extent, Yan Jing spent half a month in this world, and the materials stuffed into the Kunpeng space were not a small amount, so he specially greeted the high-level government and explained.
And that's not all.
In this way, Yan Jing also wanted to send a message to the settlements of the nearby floating islands.
The Great Expedition requires the unification of all forces that can be united.
For now, the results are outstanding.
The best proof of this is the excitement on the faces of the members of the settlement who stayed around the bazaar, and then quickly left.
Not to escape, but to contact their own settlement as quickly as possible.
The Great Expedition is not just a slogan, and the existence of the Divine Envoy of Li Huo is not a lie.
Of course, Yan Jing didn't care about dealing with these members of the settlement now.
Seven dragon boats hovered around Lighthouse Island, where the largest human conference in recent years will take place.
The chant played in the prayer building was temporarily suspended.
Several teams landed on Lighthouse Island, and Yan Jing was able to discern people with good vision.
In addition to the members of the Sky Survey and the Thunder, who were already familiar with each other from the last arrival, the expedition also had five Sky Dragon Boats joining:
Wind, dragon kite, gray owl, building wood, flying feathers.
Without exception, they all came after receiving the message from the lighthouse, and after learning about Yan Jing's deeds of breaking the dark plague and saving the two Sky Survey and Thunder, they did not hesitate to choose to join.
Yan Jing stood in front of the lighthouse, looking at the many crew members who were walking quickly in the rain, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Behind him, several soldiers carried several square tables and pieced together a conference table in the empty hall, surrounded by chairs.
Various equipment was also removed from the storage room on the side of the lighthouse fort.
In Yan Jing's absence, the lighthouse has always been the main venue for high-level meetings in the sky dragon boat.
It didn't take long for the members of the fleet led by Yan Jing to rush in.
I hadn't seen each other for a while, and we were chatting with each other about what had happened recently.
The cold and rainy day did not affect everyone's excitement about Yan Jing's arrival.
Although Yan Jing had only appeared in front of the crews of the two Sky Patrol and Thunder Sky Dragon Boats, he had already recognized the main members of the other five Sky Dragon Boats in the previous few times, and each of them had communicated with each other.
Far from being awkward and restrained, the atmosphere of the meeting between the two sides was quite warm.
I have to admit that the title of Li Huoshen, who has been recognized by the torch, is really useful.
Yan Jing didn't even need to bother to prove his identity.
The torch has already passed through the idol on the dragon boat to tell everyone that the oracle does exist.
Taking a seat near the main seat of the statue of the dragon and tiger Yama, Yan Jing turned his back to the statue and pressed his hands down, motioning for the others to take their seats.
Sitting on the left and right sides are still the Chengshu Dao Captain and the Captain of the Guard on the two dragon boats of Sky Survey and Thunder, respectively, Fu Shudao, Shen Qiong, Wu Chaoxian, Xue Li, and the other five Sky Dragon Boats are also people from these two positions.
As for Zhao Henian, who was in charge of logistics management, Xiao Ling and others stayed on the dragon boat to direct the team to distribute supplies.
After the soldiers had finished placing some of the equipment, Yan Jing took a deep breath, leaned forward, and swept his gaze over everyone present.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the God of Lihuo has assigned me to descend on the Shenzhou World this time, with only one goal, that is, to launch a great expedition and retake the airport that belongs to us!"
One sentence set the tone for the meeting.
The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a moment, and everyone knew what the Great Expedition meant.
There is only one way in front of the Sky Dragon Boat Fleet and Yan Jing, to recapture the air port and establish a real base, otherwise they will only be greeted by death.
That's right, this operation, Yan Jing also had no way out.
The torch release is the only main line, and the punishment is extremely eyed, once the mission fails, Yan Jingzai will be wiped out immediately.
The reason is very simple, the stargazing station of the Divine World is the key to the torch to judge the movements of the evil and extraterritorial heavenly demons, and the importance is needless to say, if the only remaining strength collapses because of the Great Expedition, Yan Jing will naturally have to pay the price.
Since it is a combat meeting, it is natural to have a corresponding plan.
Yan Jing turned to look at Fu Shudao beside him,
"Daoist Fu, next up, it's up to you to explain the details of this expedition."
Although Yan Jing participated in the formulation of the Great Expedition Plan, he was limited by the influence of the barrier of different space, and he could only barely descend a part of his will, and he only knew a small part of it, so he naturally couldn't slap his swollen face and become fat at this time.
Fu Shudao, who had already been instructed, did not shirk, and got up straight and walked to the prompt board next to the conference table, where someone had already accurately listed the configuration of each empty dragon boat in advance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will divide this expedition into three phases."
After nearly half a year of preparation and many revisions and improvements, Fu Shudao was already familiar with the Great Expedition Plan, and he glanced at the list of materials he received from Yan Jing, and said in a deep voice with an excited expression,
"The first stage, fleet formation and rearmament!"
"We have to digest the many materials that Venerable Yan brought to us as quickly as possible, transform them into substantial combat power, and at the same time recruit members of nearby settlements as much as possible, now we have enough food and weapons and equipment, what we lack is manpower, especially combatants, if we want to recapture the airport, there must be a fierce battle, we must unite all our strength!"
In the past, due to the shortage of materials, it was a problem for the dragon boat to maintain its daily operation, so the number of crew members was often maintained at nearly 1,000 people.
Now that Yan Jing has brought the materials to make him confident, it has become imperative to recruit members of the settlement.
The settlements that can survive on the floating island, not to mention anything else, at least have a full guarantee of combat effectiveness, otherwise they would have been used as a snack by the monsters on the floating island long ago.
"I'm going to spend a week to complete the first phase, and if you have any comments or suggestions, you can put them forward now."
Fu Shudao didn't intend to finish the entire plan in one go, and after clearly stating the mission objectives of the first stage, he set his eyes on the other leaders of the empty dragon boat present.
He needed feedback from these people, and at the same time, let Yan Jing know the general situation at the moment.
You have to bite the food, and finish the first stage first before talking about the rest.
"I think the preparation time for the first phase is a bit tight, half a month ago, the Fei Yu was attacked on the C35 floating island, the damage was serious, the repair work has not been completed so far, even if we have the material support of Venerable Yan, our manpower is not enough to complete the repair work in a short time."
A strong man in individual power armor stood up, and as the captain of the Flying Feather's guard, Sykeson was a little worried about the state of the ship.
"One week is the limit, I think you should be able to perceive the deterioration of the external environment in the near future faster than expected, and I suspect that the evil cult has sensed our gathering, and it is likely that another dark plague will be launched, and we must seize the opportunity."
Fu Shudao shook his head, and while giving a reply, he added,
"The Sky Survey can send a maintenance team to assist you, and if that's not enough, it can be drawn from other dragon boats."
As the words fell, several people offered to help repair the Feather, and Sykeson hurriedly thanked him, signaling that there were no other problems on his side.
"For the Great Expedition, I have dealt with quite a few settlements some time ago, some of them are quite isolated, and the combatants can be said to be the fundamental existence of these settlements...... I wonder how far we can go in order to recruit combatants? ”
It was Lin Qin, the head of the Gray Owl who spoke, and the questions raised were also to the point.
"After all, we only have a week, which includes training and reorganization tasks, and we don't have much time to recruit, and we can certainly recruit a group of people with supplies alone, but the problem is that the manpower needed for the Great Expedition is obviously not met in this way."
Boarding a dragon boat and becoming a boat dweller is a dream for many survivors who have been forced to wander on floating islands, but that doesn't mean that the members of the colony are willing to take part in this dangerous expedition.
They apparently preferred a fleet of dragon boats to solve the trouble on their own.
Then they join in again and enjoy the fruits of victory.
This is the most common mentality of post-apocalyptic survivors.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Qin asks how far he can go.
The implication is clear, for the sake of the Great Expedition, he wants everyone to consider compulsory conscription!
Doing so might ruin the reputation of the Sky Dragon Boat, but for the sake of the victory of the Great Expedition, the sacrifice was well worth it.
Faced with this proposal, Fu Shudao didn't know how to answer for a while.
In this way, this behavior is oppressing other survivors and violates the code of conduct of the empty dragon boat.
Forced conscription is the most convenient way to gather a large number of people in a short period of time, without considering any external influences, and directly subduing all settlements by force.
"Forced conscription is not advisable, we want comrades-in-arms, not a group of slaves who have a grudge against us, you each send a team to inform the various settlements and tell them...... Join the war now, and when we recapture the airport, there will be a place for them inside, if you just want to reap the benefits, the Domain Gate will not shelter them in the future! ”
After a short period of thought, Yan Jing made a decisive choice, and at the same time signaled to everyone present to reveal the plan to seal the domain gate.
If the airport can't attract these people, then a safe haven that can be protected by the Domain Gate can ensure safety, and even be protected from the dark disaster, Yan Jing believes that there are definitely not many people who can refuse it.
Hearing the plan to seal the domain gate, everyone present couldn't help but have excited expressions on their faces.
Even they were looking forward to what it would be like to have an airport protected by the Domain Gate.
"Should these settlements be more or less faithful to the god of Lihuo?"
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Yan Jing asked instead.
"As far as I know, we should all have this belief, the god of Lihuo once saved us, and no one will forget it, even if it is a settlement that is outcast, it is expected that one day the god of Lihuo will appear again."
The name of the oracle may only be spreading on a small scale at present, but the belief in the gods of Li Huo is widespread.
"That's going to be easy, I might be able to do something."
Receiving an affirmative reply, Yan Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
His method is very simple, since these settlements all believe in the god of Lihuo, then he will go to the master to come forward.
Although the real Li Huo Shangshen, that is, Nan Ke, has disappeared decades ago, the torch, as the successor, can obviously do the same thing.
With the importance that the torch attached to the Shenzhou world, Yan Jing didn't think that it would refuse to help such a small favor.
This kind of thought is changed to Yan Jing who descended in the Shenzhou world last time, I am afraid I can't even think of it.
However, Xudu and his entourage let Yan Jing know that the torch was not unkind.
At least in the interests of the torch, it was more than happy to facilitate the remaining apostles.
The most troublesome problems are solved, and others are also free to speak up and share their ideas.
This is exactly what Yan Jing wants to see.
It is better to solve difficulties than to hide them and wait until the Great Expedition begins.
Yan Jing often sat in the main seat as a listener, and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the situation of each dragon boat in the process of discussion.
It wasn't until the discussion of the first stage was basically over that Yan Jing stood up and prepared to give a second surprise.
"I have a solution to the problem of manpower shortage, especially the shortage of combatants, that I mentioned earlier."
Yan Jing shook his hand forward, a light blue halo flashed, and a worm egg with a surface full of blood meridians and a body close to a basketball suddenly appeared in the center of the conference table.
"It's ......"
Looking at the strangely shaped eggs on the table, Rao is Fu Shudao was also a little confused.
"The risk of fighting with the evil spirit, I think everyone is well aware of it, so I won't say much here, not to mention that the world of Shenzhou is still full of all kinds of monsters, relying on our strength alone, even if we win in the end, I'm afraid it will be a residual victory, and this is also a situation I try to avoid, we need allies, not just humans, so I brought a helper who can fight against that group of monsters."
Speaking of this, Yan Jing raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and Hu Ying, who had been lying beside him, appeared in his true form.
The moment the hideous insect beast appeared in the conference hall, Yan Jing clearly heard the sound of the surrounding sound and gasping for air, Fu Shudao and the others were okay because they had seen it before, and the others all subconsciously left their seats and put on a defensive posture.
If it weren't for Yan Jing's presence, the terrifying insect beast in front of them would not have any tendency to attack, and they would have been unable to help but make a move.
】
"Is that the helper you're talking about?"
Someone soon reacted, looked at Yan Jing in amazement and asked.
"No, it's not it, it's them!"
Activating the Kunpeng space, a dark blue spatial vortex suddenly bloomed behind Yan Jing.
Suddenly.
Terrifying roars and screams echoed throughout the lighthouse fortress.
At first, the leaders of the Sky Dragon Boat were still full of vigilance and vigilance, but when they saw the smile on Yan Jing's face and the well-behaved tiger firefly beside him, their eyes finally fell on the insect eggs on the table.
So everyone's face appeared with great surprise!
