"Xiyue, something is wrong."

As soon as Leng Xiyue pulled her sister back to the shore, Tianmeng hurriedly walked over.

"What's wrong? Could it be the end of the world? Leng Xiyue glanced at him, obviously feeling that Tianmeng was making a fuss.

"No, it's Miho who has made a new discovery." Tianmeng said.

Saying this, Leng Xiyue suddenly became energetic.

Leng Xiyue found a quiet place and found her long-range communication device, and called Miho Nishizumi.

A curtain of light opened in front of him, and Miho Nishizumi's figure also appeared.

"Miho, what's going on?"

Miho Nishizumi stood in front of a map, and Leng Xiyue glanced at it, but only saw a huge sea area and dotted islands, and an area with only a coastline.

Miho Nishizumi turned around and said with a solemn face: "Do you remember that we made a plan to investigate the Sun Moon Continent earlier? ”

"What, there's news?" Looking at the dignified Miho Nishizumi in front of her, Leng Xiyue suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Yes, after all, the annihilation of the whole army is also a response." Miho Nishizumi turned around with a heavy face, picked up her cane, and tapped the map in front of her.

"In order to realize this operation, we planned for a year, and finally mobilized 200 Trippling Prisms to anchor 20 landing positions, five of these 20 routes were attacked by unknown creatures and crashed in the sea, while the rest arrived on the Sun and Moon Continent."

As she spoke, Miho Nishizumi pointed to the map that couldn't be thinner, and it could even be said that there was barely the slightest depth: "But as you can see, we haven't made any progress at all, the current map is only mapped by high-altitude photography, in fact, we didn't even get close to the coastline, we were destroyed by an extremely fast missile, and all the refractory prisms were not spared." ”

Hearing Miho Nishizumi say this, Leng Xiyue also realized the seriousness of the matter.

The speed of the Prism is extremely fast, even if it travels high in the air, it can be called a fleeting moment, at least for the time being, the Empire's missiles are completely incapable of intercepting.

However, the Sun Moon Continent was easy to intercept, which meant that they didn't even need a second attack to destroy all these Leaping Prisms, which were not particularly weak in defense, and what was even more terrifying was that the other side obviously deployed this defense capability along the borders of the entire continent.

This means that in addition to having more advanced technology than their own human race at present, they also have massive resources to achieve a thorough defense of the entire continent, which Leng Xiyue will never be able to do at present.

"So. What can we do about it? ”

Miho Nishizumi said with a firm gaze: "Quickly unify the continent, since this enemy has such power, then they will also discover the technological content of the Leaping Prism after shooting us down, in this case, the war is already a matter of time." ”

"We have to integrate all the resources of the continent and lay out a similar coastal defense line, so that we can respond to all changes without change."

In other words, it's time to make a move on Xingluo.

The capture of Xingluo is of great significance, if Tiandou is still nominally his ally, then after capturing Xingluo next, he can make it his own dominion and start collecting resources on a large scale.

The locals of the Douluo Continent are not very efficient at collecting resources, and they are generally some obvious ore veins, while the Kyushu Empire has been working on the collection of deeper ore veins, and has also relied on these resources to develop to the present.

If you have a resource area in the Star Luo, then you can use the things unlocked after completing the mission to build a Star Spirit Air Force as a spear, or you can build a comprehensive defense network under the leadership of Swan as a shield, which can be described as a degree of advance and retreat.

"So." Leng Xiyue's beautiful eyes froze: "Let's kill Xingluo first, I hope you can make a perfect plan." ”

"Of course, we have already planned for this." Nishizumi Miho said confidently: "By the way, there is one more thing, after the collapse of the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect, the Wuhun Hall also completed the follow-up investigation, and removed it in the name of launching a coup d'état and disrupting the security of the mainland, so the Wuhun Hall will hold a sect conference according to the usual practice to reformulate the seven major sects." ”

"Well, is that a big deal? Still have a meeting to solve it? Leng Xiyue asked puzzled.

Back then, three of the next four sects were wiped out, and one ran away, and the Wuhun Hall didn't say that there were any rules for re-election.

"At that time, it was because of the political disorder, and later because of the change of the pope, and no one mentioned this matter, until now that the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Sect has fallen, they remember that there is no one left in the next four sects, and the only living Elephant Armor Sect is not willing to come out with this name anymore."

"The Martial Spirit Hall can use this opportunity to promote some forces that are friendly with us and can be said to be reasonable, in addition to these things that seem to be helpful but actually don't help much, there is a more important thing."

Leng Xiyue thought for a while, and then reacted: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Xue'er is preparing to take this opportunity to let Haotian Sect enter the world again." ”

Yes, Tang Hao has now reconciled with the Martial Spirit Palace, so there is no reason for Haotian Sect to be blocked, and taking this opportunity, Leng Xiyue can do anything to Haotian Sect.

For example, if she accepts it as a dog or something, if not, she doesn't mind letting Haotianzong change owners.

Looking at it this way, this matter is still quite important.

Of course, there are priorities, Haotian Sect's base camp is in Xingluo, if you want to take it thoroughly, it is best to take Xingluo down first, it is the safest.

Thinking so, Leng Xiyue also began to discuss their plans with Miho Nishizumi.

Gengxin City, one of the main cities of the Star Luo Empire, is a city located in the southwest of the Star Luo Empire, known as the city of metal and the capital of blacksmiths.

This is not a well-known or relatively high sense of existence, Douluo Continent is the world of soul masters, as a metal city, it was not taken seriously.

Blacksmiths are just commoners who have learned the art of ironsmithing, and there is no difference in essence, and the blacksmiths' guild derived from this characteristic has some status in the city.

On the other hand, the Soul Hall is actually a soul master association, but it can affect the situation of the entire continent. This shows how huge the gap between the blacksmith and the soul master is.

Of course, this was a few years ago, and now, this place has become the top town of the Star Luo Empire, and it is also the only arsenal of the empire, with great influence.

Xingluo originally didn't have the ability to get new equipment from the Heaven Dou New Army and the Kyushu Empire, but in the past two years, Dai Mubai's earldom in Xingluo's voice has been increasing day by day, and foreign trade is also impressive, so Xingluo has also obtained some relatively backward, but can beat the traditional cavalry and soul division legions of weapon blueprints.

After obtaining these, Emperor Xingluo ordered the world's skilled craftsmen to gather in Gengxin City, where in addition to imitation and mass production, also let local officials and nobles be responsible for research and development on this basis.

This move is quite effective, in terms of conventional weapons, now the Star Luo Empire can almost reach the level of World War II, and Gengxin City is also fully capable of making some tanks, but in terms of people's livelihood, it is naturally a mess, or the original level.

But even so, with a large number of slaves and a population far exceeding that of Tiandou, the Star Luo Emperor could easily use these weapons to arm an army of about 300,000 people.

This is also due to the fact that the number of weapons is not enough, and if the number of weapons and equipment is large enough, then his new army will only grow more and more.

In today's world pattern, Emperor Xingluo is quite insecure, so he constantly urges the officials of Gengxin City to increase production.

But there are only so many blacksmiths, and if you want to increase production, there is only one way, and that is. Forced to work.

Each blacksmith needs to work an extra four hours of overtime after their day job to build munitions, but in order to squeeze the cost, each craftsman's four hours of labor will only be exchanged for a free dinner.

These blacksmiths go out early and return late every day, and they don't even see their wives and children, and they are tired like dead dogs every day, and a depressing atmosphere spreads.

And Lou Gao, the president of the blacksmith guild, stands at the intersection of the oppression of this empire and the boiling resentment below.

"President Lou, you should know our indicators for this month, right?" A man wearing the official uniform of the Star Luo Empire sat in front of the building, drinking tea with a calm expression: "100,000 rifles, 5,000 machine guns, 2,000 artillery, 5,000 vehicles, 1,000 tanks, I think, this shouldn't be a big problem for you, right?" ”

There are about 10,000 blacksmiths in Gengxin City, including regular workers and apprentices, and it is not a difficult task if it is simply to build guns.

Even with the addition of machine guns and artillery, although it is troublesome, it is not considered to exceed the productivity under the current system.

If this is the case, then together with the subsequent supply of ammunition and accessories, it can almost meet the current productivity.

But five thousand vehicles and a thousand tanks, that's outrageous!

You know, this car is not a car, but a truck that can transport troops and goods, Xingluo does not have an assembly line for production, it all depends on the craftsmen's hand rubbing, and the small things are not a big problem, and these trucks and tanks that the empire needs to benchmark the new army of Tiandou, how can they be rubbed out by hand by the craftsmen themselves?

In fact, it is not impossible, after all, the craftsmen also have similar tools, but to build this vehicle, it consumes too many man-hours, and Lou Gao is very sure that he will definitely not be able to complete such an order.

The person in front of him is a commissioner from the Xingluo royal family, temporarily taking the position of governor of the province where Gengxin City is located, and his strength is eighty-eight level Contra Douluo, and he is a person he can't afford to offend.

"Governor Dai, if I don't want to, I really can't." Lou Gao sighed, and just wanted to say something, but Governor Dai in front of him slammed the table and became furious.

"Can't? Can't do this little thing? What else does the empire want from you? With two more man-hours a day, wouldn't it be possible to build so much armament? ”

Lou Gao already knew the character of the Governor Dai in front of him, he had very traditional royal characteristics, that is, he regarded the people as lackeys, didn't care about everything, and constantly oppressed the people below for his own political achievements, which was not the stupidity of the other party, but the consistent style of Xingluo's rule.

"So, can the Governor allocate funds? In this way, I can also make some subsidies and calm the people's minds. Lou Gao said tentatively.

"Lou Gao, that's a matter of your blacksmith association, not mine, please put yourself in your position." Governor Dai sneered, then stood up and walked away: "The target was personally issued by the emperor, if it can't be completed, you should know the consequences." ”

Lou Gao looked at the back of Governor Dai leaving with a pale face, and clenched his fists, but in the end, he was helpless.

Yes, Dai Mubai has the strong support of the Kyushu Empire, so the royal family didn't even dare to move, and Tiandou's military strength was no longer comparable to Xingluo, not to mention the two behemoths of the Wuhun Hall and the Kyushu Empire.

But they are just ordinary people under the rule of Xingluo, if they resist a little, I am afraid that there will be a Title Douluo to quickly clear it, this is something that everyone knows, so compared to being brutally suppressed, no matter how hard and tired they are, they are still alive after all.

Thinking of the blacksmiths who followed him, Lou Gao couldn't help but burst into tears, how ashamed he was that he couldn't win any rights for them as their leader?

Thinking of this, he didn't even want to see his apprentices, because after the meeting, these desperate things would be announced, and he really didn't want to see the desperate expressions of the craftsmen.

But there is always something to face.

Lou Gao stood up, although he didn't want to go, but only by acting according to the instructions of the empire could he ensure the safety of the craftsmen, and not pull out a few from time to time as a typical execution, so as to set an example.

At this moment, Lou Gao suddenly heard a sound from Biu, and a bullet was imprinted on the wall in front of him.

He looked back, but saw a small circular hole in the window, but it didn't make much noise.

Picking up the warhead and looking at it for a while, Lou Gao found that there was something strange in it.

In other words, this is not a warhead, but a miniature storage device, which is not lethal in any way.

Soon, Lou Gao searched for three notes.

"The time has come, and the empire will end. The day of freedom is just around the corner. ”

"Would you rather add fuel to the burning of the empire, or would you rather make a senseless death? Choose wisely. ”

Lou Gao opened the third note, only to find that it was a very small pattern, and many parameters.

Walking over to his desk, he quickly checked the height of the building, and determined that this was a blueprint of a large-caliber pistol.

Judging from the power of firearms, this pistol, which is not much worse than a cannon, is definitely capable of threatening the Soul Saint and even Contra.

Thinking of the first two drawings, Lou Gao believes that the intention of the mastermind behind this is already obvious.

Whether he participates or not, a huge change is coming that affects the entire Star Luo Empire, and if he participates, he can join the action, and if he sees that there is no hope, he can also refuse, but the initiative is in his hands.

What does he have? There are 10,000 craftsmen who are absolutely loyal and regard themselves as leaders, these people must have strength and strength, and their proficiency in weapons is much stronger than that of the new army of the Star Luo Empire, and the strength of these 10,000 people, even if they enter the troubled times, they can become the princes of one side.

Lou Gao didn't have such lofty aspirations, he just wanted his subordinates to live happily.

And this is obviously an opportunity, which also means that he needs to start preparing now.

Thinking of this, his cloudy eyes suddenly bloomed with brilliance.

It was the light of hope. (End of chapter)
