The construction of the workshop was carried out in an orderly manner, and Lu Guangzeng had a wealth of experience. When the old man saw the city lord forcibly bring a mineral vein, he didn't know how to describe his shocked and surprised mood. He has been working in the military for most of his life, and although he is highly respected, he does not have a sense of accomplishment. The dull yamen and perfunctory colleagues made the heat in his heart gradually cool and disappear.

But after arriving in Blue Star City, he felt that his life was different. It's no longer a mess day after day, year after year. The sense of mission on his shoulders gave him a sense of rejuvenating his fighting spirit, and the sense of accomplishment of being able to protect more people made his heart surge. He knew what he was doing, and he knew that every time he built a battleship, he would save more lives.

This Great Chu is no longer the power that seems to be stable on the surface as immutable as time, and perhaps, if it were not for this disaster, Lu Guangzeng would never have found his own value.

The speed of civil construction was very fast, and a large number of people who came to help had basically completed all the preliminary preparations. The next construction, with the help of the practitioners, the craftsmen made a fast progress. These craftsmen were all invited from outside by Chen Xi, and some of them came together when Ao Qian took the Yiketang south. The team of craftsmen of several hundred people was actually almost enough, and the construction of warships was also very smooth under the command of Lu Lao.

"Da Chu's warships are very strong, and the bigger the warships, the greater the combat power, but there is a weakness. ”

Lu Lao accompanied Chen Xi as he walked in the workshop under construction and said: "Because the enemies of Da Chu were also human beings before, the construction of warships pursued solidity and stability, and lacked flexibility. But now we are facing the Abyssal Beasts, and the flying monsters among the Abyssal Beasts are far more flexible than our warships. If you want to be invincible in the sky, you have to change. Therefore, the construction of the first ship will not be too fast, and the people below me and I will try our best to make the ship more flexible. ”

Chen Xi said: "Flexibility is one thing, but no matter how flexible the warship is, it is more like a dead thing, and it is not as good as the abyss beast." Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the weapons and equipment on the warship as much as possible, so that the warship looks like a hedgehog, and those abyssal beasts are unable to start no matter how flexible they are. ”

Lu Lao said: "I have already thought of this, city lord, look. ”

Chen Xi followed his instructions and looked at a warship that had basically completed its framework.

"In the past, warships were generally equipped with weapons on both sides. There are enough spirit stones in the city now, so I added a rune circle at each end of the warship. The effect of this rune circle is to slow down the abyssal beast's movements the moment it touches the ship. Although the sluggishness will not be long, it will be enough for a well-trained armorer to control the weapon to counterattack. ”

He looked at Chen Xi and said, "Thanks to the ancient formation book of your city lord, all the rune formations recorded in it have been lost for a long time. With these ancient formations, the power of the warship can be brought into full play. ”

Chen Xi nodded, then lowered his voice and said, "If you want to build the [Gate of Tianfu], how big a workshop is needed?"

Lu Lao was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately became excited: "Does the city lord have a way to find the meteorite?"

Chen Xi signaled him not to get excited, and said in a very soft voice: "I haven't found a way to meteorite yet, but I know where it is." So you prepare now, and when I have a way to get my hands on the meteorite, I will immediately open the [Gate of Heaven's Fortune]. ”

"That's a lot of preparation!"

Lu Lao's voice was a little hoarse from excitement in an instant, and he also lowered his voice and replied: "It is impossible to build the [Gate of Tianfu] with the workshop that is being built now, and there is no workshop with such ability in the whole world. I went back and drew the drawings, and then calculated how much space, how many craftsmen, how many materials, how much time. ”

Chen Xi said: "After you calculate it, tell me, and I will prepare it for you somewhere else." But you must not leak this matter, and you must not let anyone other than you and me know. ”

Lu Lao nodded hurriedly: "City Lord rest assured, if I can build the [Gate of Tianfu], I will have no regrets in this life." I really didn't expect that I would still see this hope in my life. ”

Chen Xi smiled and said, "I just discovered the location of the meteorite, but I need to face a strong opponent. It's not easy to get that thing, and it just requires you to do some preliminary preparation. ”

Lu Lao said: "I will do my best to prepare the drawings, if the [Gate of Tianfu] is built, I dare to guarantee that as long as there is this warship, it will be able to gain a firm foothold in this crisis." With a strong army, it will definitely be able to fight back against the abyssal beasts. ”

Chen Xi said: "Get ready, I look forward to it as much as you." ”

In the afternoon, not long after Chen Xi returned from the warship workshop, he received news that he had already discovered that on the lonely mountain six hundred miles away, there was a Great Chu army still resisting, and the number was unknown. Just when Chen Xi and Lu Lao were discussing the preparation for the construction of the [Gate of Tianfu], this army sent a group of people to fight out and ask for help from Blue Star City.

For a while, it became a difficult question to go or not.

Go, leaving the powerful defensive weapon of Blue Star City, Yue Zhao, who has been staring at Cuiping Mountain, will immediately make a move. If you don't go, you're watching that army fall.

"I'll go. ”

Yan Yulou looked at Chen Xi and said, "Your cultivation can only be promoted to the Cave Treasure Realm within fifty miles of Blue Star City. The distance of 600 miles is not far, but it is dangerous enough. Give me two ships, and I'll go and get those people back. ”

Chen Xi shook his head, his brows furrowed deeply.

Lai Hao is a soldier, and he is naturally anxious about the suffering of his comrades: "City Lord, you can't hesitate any longer, if it weren't for the critical moment, they wouldn't have taken the risk of killing." There is a stone city on the lonely mountain, and there is an armory in Da Chu, so the defense is quite strong. It seems that they really can't hold on, and if they delay any longer, I'm afraid they won't be able to save any of them. ”

Chen Xi glanced at him and said, "Soon after I first arrived in Blue Star City, I sent someone to contact the army on the Lonely Mountain. They have never been willing to come to Blue Star City, and now that they have suddenly come, I am afraid that something bad will happen. ”

Lai Hao said eagerly: "They didn't come because they felt that Blue Star City would not last. Now they can't hold on, we can't die without help. ”

Chen Xi said slowly: "I'm not saying that I can't save it, but I can't blindly save it." If you only rely on a stream of blood, and encounter an ambush by the abyss beast halfway, the people on the lonely mountain will not be able to save them at that time, and the people who go out will be more than lucky. I want to save people just like you, but I can't get out in such a hurry. ”

"Who is the leader of that army?"

He asked.

Lai Hao said: "It's Yunlu General Pu Cun, who cultivates in the Lingshan Realm, and is the most stubborn person, and his temperament is dead." He has made great achievements, and if he could be more tactful, he might have been promoted to General Shenhui a long time ago. This person still has the ability, and his reputation in the military circles is not small. When he first conquered Nanzhao, he took the lead and led a team of men and horses into the city of Absinthe, and the Holy Emperor personally rewarded him after the war. ”

"Such a person is very prejudiced against Blue Star City. ”

Lai Hao hesitated for a moment and continued: "He has always looked down on Blue Star City, and has said more than once that he will never enter Blue Star City. ”

Yan Yulou looked at Chen Xi and said, "The affairs in the city are inseparable from you. If you leave, if Koshiaki comes back, no one else will be able to take your place. So the best way is for me to bring someone there, and the intelligence doesn't say that there is an abyssal beast king there, and with my current cultivation, I should be able to deal with it. ”

Chen Xi was silent for a while and then nodded: "That's it, then please take a trip." ”

He asked for the box he had given to Gao Qingshu before, which had been given to him by Susie. Inside the box is a space, huge.

"When you get there, let these people into the space and bring them back. If the warship is dispatched, it will immediately attract the attention of Yue Zhao. So, it's better to use other methods. ”

Chen Xi looked at Zisang Xiaoduo: "I'll go with you, take them to the refuge of other Zisang families, and then leave from the refuge." The two of us returned, and they went to save people. Wait until you save people, and then go and pick them up. ”

Zisang Xiaoduo said: "It's better for me to follow Lord Wanhou, and after that, I can directly bring them back to Blue Star City." ”

Chen Xi shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous." ”

Zisang Xiaoduo smiled and said softly: "In such a troubled world, where is there anything that is not dangerous? But if you hesitate for a minute, you may die one more person." I don't have the ability to fight, but I have the ability to save people. If you don't let me do these things again, then what's the point of me being alive now? Don't worry, you can protect me. ”

Yan Yulou snorted: "Xiao Duo's method is actually the best." ”

Chen Xi still didn't agree, Zisang Xiaoduo's realm was not low, but her realm had almost no effect on protecting herself. The only way she could protect herself was to walk between the Zisang family's shelters. But once she meets an absolute strong person, she can't even leave.

"I'll go too. ”

The demonic voice said like thunder: "With me, who can hurt her? Whoever dares to touch her, I will tear him to pieces." ”

Zisang Xiaoduo laughed: "Chen Xi, look, there is a demon in you, what are you worried about? Let me go, do what I can." ”

"I'll go too. ”

Chen Dingdang looked at Chen Xi and said, "It's been too dull in the city these days, I haven't done anything, and my arms and legs are almost rusty. Instead of waiting here, it is better to go out and kill a few more abyssal beasts. I'm protecting Xiao Duo, plus the magic is so powerful, and there are thousands of waits, it should be fine. ”

Chen Xi couldn't resist Zisang Xiaoduo's pleading eyes, so he had to nod: "Go and go back quickly, don't fall in love." ”

"Don't worry. ”

Yan Yulou stood up and looked at his subordinates Liwolf and Yanhu: "You two follow me, and Nalan stays behind to help defend the city." Nalan, you remember, the city lord's military order is my military order, and you are not allowed to violate it. ”

Nalan put down his bow and stood solemnly: "My subordinates understand!"

Zisang Xiaoduo looked at Chen Xi, and there was a very special look in his eyes: "Don't worry, it's only six hundred miles, and it won't take long to go back and forth." I have to do something meaningful, everyone is fighting the abyssal beasts, and I have to have my own value while I live. ”

I don't know why, Chen Xi always felt that there were some other meanings in Zisang Xiaoduo's eyes when she looked at her.
