Chapter 117 Intangible Wealth
Because the war is about to begin, whether or not to join the Goddess Alliance has become a very important matter. Everyone except me has gone to help deal with the problems of the Goddess Alliance, and I am the only one left here to deal with matters within the alliance. These guys didn't even leave a few people behind. It's really not fun!
There are so many things to do, I really don’t know what to do at the moment! In the end, I must arrange work for the girls in Germany first. The fight is about to start, and I want them to rush to work and make some cannons. Now Essinger's factory has not been fully built, and the available quantity is too small to meet the requirements. But these are extraordinary times, so we have to do as much as we can!
After finally getting busy with things, suddenly the private chat started. I was stunned when I saw it. It turned out to be the Son of the Night who had been missing for many days.
"Son of the Night? Are you finally willing to show up? I thought you were missing!"
"Well! Something happened at home, which delayed me for a while! Can you do me a favor?"
"Tell me! I'll help you if you can. But you'd better not let me do things that require time. My city is about to go to war with the Temple of Light, and we are short of time now!"
Ye Zhizi paused for a while, and I suddenly heard another voice coming from the private chat, as if someone was next to Ye Zhizi. "Serena, if I don't have time, don't bother others. We can just go around by ourselves!"
"Just tell me if you have anything!" Although I am indeed very busy, I still need to help!
"That's right, can you come to Feihong City?"
"Why?"
"You'll know when you get here!"
"Okay! Just wait for me for ten minutes!" I cut off the private chat and turned around to call Vida and Vina over. I told them the rest of the matter before I left proudly. Because most of my familiars have jobs, I can't take them away. I just brought Yeying, Xiaoxue, Ling and Bailang. This lineup is the only manpower I can deploy!
He came out of the teleportation array in Feihong City and looked around, but he didn't see the Son of the Night. Suddenly I heard someone calling me, and when I looked up, I found Ye Zhizi leaning out from the second floor of the restaurant opposite and waving to me. No wonder I couldn't find him otherwise!
Let Ye Ying and Xiao Xue wait outside, I took Ling and Bai Lang into the restaurant. I went straight to the second floor and saw the Son of the Night waving to me outside a private room, so I quickly walked over. I reached the door and he flashed into the room. After following up, I discovered there was another person inside!
I was very surprised that the person standing next to the Night Child was an old man over 80 years old! The old man is about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a strong body. His facial features are full of evil spirits, and his white hair without a single streak of color makes people feel very refreshing! Judging from how straight he stood, he looked like a standard soldier. This old man must have come from the army!
"Who is this……?"
Just as Ye Zhizi was about to introduce him, the old man suddenly said: "I am his great-grandfather. Xiaowei said that he only knows you here, so he came to find you!"
"Grandpa? Is that his grandfather's father?" Dizzy! It seems that the age estimated just now is different from his real age! "Hello, grandpa! May I ask how old you are?"
"Haha! How can I live a long life? I am still young! I will only be 103 years old in two months!" Boom! I lost my balance and fell to the ground. The old man came over with two big steps and picked me up like a chicken. "You kids are paying less and less attention to physical exercise. You can fall down even while standing! Are you lacking calcium?"
Am I unsteady? I'm scared of you! I thought so in my heart, but I kept saying: "I must exercise more in the future!" I still need to exercise my body, and most people can just 'commit suicide'!
The Son of the Night finally found the opportunity to interject. "My grandpa was hospitalized some time ago, and I was always in the hospital, so I didn't have time to play games! Now my grandpa's health is better, and the doctor said he needs to rest more, but he keeps clamoring to go out for activities every day. I really have no choice, so I bought a The game helmet brought him here to do some activities! He just passed the level and left the novice village, so I brought him out to find you!"
faint! Looks like an old man with ADHD! "Then what do you want me to do by calling me here?"
The child of the night was interrupted by the old man just as he was about to say it. "It's like this. I want to feel the fighting atmosphere here, but Xiao Wei can only move in jumps, so I want to find someone to protect me on his behalf! I heard that you need a high level to be considered a master here. My level is low. I’m afraid one person is in danger!”
I've been doing this for a long time just to find a bodyguard! "Grandpa is so energetic!" I laughed!
"Hehe! I have been a soldier in Wu Dingbang for the rest of my life. I can't be a bear anywhere. If you don't have time, just introduce us a friend! We can pay! I need to get familiar with the rules and environment here as soon as possible!"
What a strong old man! etc. "What did you just say? What did you say your name was?"
"Wu Dingbang! What's wrong?"
"Are you retired General Wu Dingbang?" It can't really be him, can it? Although I have never met him in person, I have seen the photos several times, so I really have some impressions!
"Of course it's me! How many Wu Ding states can there be in China?"
"Is it really you?" I felt like I didn't even know how to speak!
I quickly took off the helmet and put it into the bracelet. It was disrespectful to wear the helmet like this! Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly said: "What a beautiful baby! When did you find a girlfriend, Xiaowei? You didn't even tell grandpa!"
My smile froze instantly! "Grandpa! I'm a boy!"
"What? Are you a boy? That won't work. You need to exercise more! This kind of thin skin and tender flesh is not good! Men should be like me, and they should tan their skin to a bronze color. That is the style of a man. ! Look at your fair skin, Serena Williams and his sister are not as fair as you!"
"Ahem! Let's talk about the bodyguards!" If we don't bring up the topic, I'm going to commit suicide! "Actually, I don't think it makes any sense for grandpa to go out and attack people. These things aren't very fun either. I wonder if grandpa is willing to fight?"
"War? Can you have a war here? Who are you going to fight with? I heard that there are other countries here as well. Are you fighting the Japanese? If so, count me alone. I have been fighting the Japanese all my life. Those gangs Son of a bitch, if you don’t fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles!"
I am not surprised at all that General Wu Dingbang said this. He has been fighting the Japanese almost all his life. Until he left the army at the age of 90, the team's day-to-day strategy for which he was directly responsible had never gone wrong. If Japan were to vote for the Chinese they hate the most, General Wu would definitely be in the top three! This is not only because he has always been the main militant in the Chinese government, but also because he has never been defeated in the battles he commanded. The Japanese and China had many small-scale frictions and were almost unlucky every time!
"Although we are not fighting the Japanese this time, we will fight the Japanese soon. But we have to get through this difficulty first. As long as this battle does not defeat us, we will definitely fight the Japanese. People start a war!”
"Okay! Chinese men must have this courage! If you say this to me, I can help you fight!"
I immediately said happily: "That's great! Your level is too low now, and fighting the enemy directly will have no effect, so I want you to help me command the army. I will give all my troops to your unified command, which is just right. Give full play to your specialties!" General Wu is a professional soldier, and he is also a victorious general. His strategies and tactics are infinitely better than my half-witness. With his joining, Essinger's troops can One versus two! hey-hey! This is intangible wealth!
"When will you start the war? What is the strength of both sides? What types of arms are there? What are the specialties of each? You must tell me these data, as well as battlefield maps and other things. Modern warfare is all about intelligence, and the more information you have before the war, the better. It gets easier when you’re in full combat!”
"Then come with me! I will take you to my city. This battle is a defensive battle. Our task is to defend the city for three days. As long as we survive three days, we will be considered a victory!"
"Defensive battle?" The old general frowned. "Advanced troops to attack the enemy on the road, middle troops to fight decisively in the field, and lower troops to be trapped in the city! We were passive at first!"
Professionals are different, they speak so philosophically! "Anyway, let's go to the city and have a look first!"
After leaving the door, I left Ye Ying to the general and Ye Zhizhi, and led the way with Ling riding Bai Xue. When arriving at the teleportation array, first open the guild system to recruit veteran generals to join the guild. Essinger's teleportation array only accepts players from the guild and a few specific players like Feng Yin Piaomiao. If you don't join, you won't be able to get in!
We came out directly from the teleportation array in the square in front of the Juling Tower. As soon as we came out, we saw the Juling Tower straight into the sky. The general may have never seen such a tall building. He raised his head and looked at the top of the tower, which had turned into a small black dot. "What is this? So high?"
"This is the Juling Tower, a landmark building in this city. Of course it has practical uses. Come, I will take you up to have a look."
When entering the Juling Pagoda, the old general kept sighing: "It's so majestic! It would be great if the Monument to the People's Heroes in our country could be built this high!"
There are eight huge metal boxes placed around the city tree in the center of the Juling Tower. These are the first batch of products of the floating technology we bought from Germany. Because of time constraints, I completed these 8 in the past few days and placed them all in the Spirit Gathering Tower. To be honest, this technology is really good when used to build elevators! The three of us and Ling entered an iron box together. After closing the entrance, we pushed a handle up. Our big elevator immediately flew up and went up at a very high speed.
Because our time is tight, these elevators are relatively rough in shape and feel like a large machine stuck under a can. That machine is a floater, and it was supposed to be sealed in a casing, but because it was still being trialled, it didn’t even have a cover for easy inspection! The same goes for the "can" above, which is wrapped in thin iron and doesn't even have a seat! But no matter how broken it is, it can still be used!
After reaching the top of the tower, I took the general to the bottom of the Eye of Hell. I raised my head and said to the Eye of Hell: "Please help us create a three-dimensional model of the city!"
A vivid three-dimensional model of Essinger and the surrounding terrain suddenly appeared around us. The old general looked at the screen and said, "Is this laser full analysis projection?"
"No! This is something else, but just take it as such!" I don't want to explain too clearly, as long as the general can understand it!
The general looked at the map and asked, "What's the approximate ratio?"
I pointed to the pillar in the middle of the three-dimensional model and said: "This is where we are now. The height is 7500 meters. The height of the city wall here is 450 meters. You can roughly calculate based on this!"
"Well! It looks like your city is very big!" The general pointed at a small black dot and said, "What is this?"
The three-dimensional model immediately enlarged the black spot, and I explained: "This is the magic crystal cannon!"
"Magic crystal cannon? How about its performance?" The general didn't understand these things at all!
"Do you know the orbital running of the Germans in World War II?" Although the general does not know the magic crystal cannon, as long as he knows what the magic crystal cannon can do!
"Are you talking about the Paris Cannon? The kind of cannon that can bombard the British mainland across the English Channel?"
"Absolutely! The power of the magic crystal cannon is roughly the same as that thing. Once a shell hits the ground, it can blow up a big pond! Even a small hill can be cut off at once! However, the shells of this kind of cannon are rather strange. Its flight The speed is very slow, and the trajectory is almost straight with a small arc, so it basically cannot be used for hanging shots!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a special weapon! You said the cannonballs fly very slowly. How slow are they?"
"The speed can only reach the flying speed of a softball, and this thing will emit a dazzling purple light, which is very conspicuous. Basically, as long as you are careful, you can avoid it! We used to mainly use it to fight battleships! I still use it They sunk many Japanese warships!"
"Yeah, that's right! No matter how big or small the cannon is, the one that can hit the Japanese is a good cannon!" The general's opinion was really different! "What is this?" The general suddenly noticed another artillery piece.
"This is an artillery gun. Just think of it as a battleship gun from World War II. It's very similar in terms of performance!"
"Understood!"
He explained that he had been working on these things until late at night. Later, the son of the night said that the old man needed to rest more and forced him to sleep before taking him away. General Wu is really a fan of war. After studying military information all night, I didn't feel tired at all. My legs and feet were numb when I stood!
In the blink of an eye, it's already early morning, and the war will start in three days including today. The time is really tight! When I was sighing, suddenly Vader ran up. "Lord City Lord!"
"whats the matter?"
"We got the statue you asked us to get last time!"
"Statue?" I didn't think of it for a moment, but I quickly realized it! "The statue in the blood pool has been brought back? Where is it?"
"It's been sent to the basement!"
"Come on, let's go take a look!" As I walked down, I used spiritual contact to get in touch with Xiao Chun. "Xiao Chun, come to the secret basement under Juling Tower!"
When I got to the big basement, Xiaochun had already arrived, and he was standing there staring at the statue. After she noticed that I had come in, she said in a provocative voice: "You called me here just to show me this? You are in such low taste that you actually like such disgusting sculptures!"
The sculpture in the blood pool is a big demon holding an angel's corpse and bleeding out. This meaning is obviously unacceptable to Xiao Chun, the former goddess of light.
I didn't argue with her and walked over to look at the sculpture carefully. It was indeed this sculpture in the blood pool in Du Ling last time, and now I finally got it back! I immediately asked Ling to find the demon spirit knight and call a few craftsmen over. The dried blood pool will finally be resurrected in the magical city of Essinger!
A dozen craftsmen trotted all the way to the basement, and Ling kept urging them to move faster. hey-hey! It's good to have NPCs in your city. If you still hire dwarf NPCs like before, you won't dare to speak loudly to them, for fear that they will slap their butts and leave. Now we use all NPCs from this city, and they all have to listen to me, the city lord, and they can do whatever they are asked to do without having to pay for it!
A leader of the craftsmen took the drawings with me to discuss the construction details, and everything was finalized under my guidance. To put it bluntly, the blood pool is a pool with a large number of magic circles drawn on it. The construction of the structural part is very difficult. The key is the use of magic patterns and various magic catalysts. For this reason, I asked Ling Sheng to forcefully hold it underground under Essinger. Al Ni, who was resting in the city, was pulled over to help draw the magic runes. She, a super boss, should be able to draw up to standard!
After working hard all night, the blood pool was finally completed after dawn. Looking at this building created by my own hands, I feel so happy! The completed blood pool is located in the center of this secret room. It is a circular pool one and a half meters deep and more than thirty meters in diameter. The entire pool was built with magic crystals and magic silver. It cost me more than a ton of magic crystals. I felt so distressed! There are four giant moonstones in the four directions of the blood pool. I found someone to buy this thing. One piece costs 1 million crystal coins, which is more expensive than magic crystal! The pool is made of magic silver with a non-slip texture, and a large number of amethysts and blue crystals are inlaid in the middle. Alni used magic seals made of diamond dust and purple gold sand to draw various magic circles. Finally, the demon knight placed the statue in the center of the pool. Alni used a gel made of crystal powder and sea shells to connect the sculpture to the pool. on the bottom base.
Everything is ready, what is needed now is blood, the blood of the goddess! Arni definitely didn't want to do it. She finished her work and turned around and left! I had no choice but to solve it myself. Anyway, Al Ni was gone and Ling was still there! I turned around and looked at Ling with a bright smile: "Ling!"
"Owner!"
"Can I give you some blood?"
Ling showed the soft side of a woman, and she immediately stretched out her wrist obediently. Vina, who had followed to watch the excitement, handed me a golden needle. I took Ling to the side of the statue and carefully pricked her little hand to ensure that the blood would flow out but not too fast! As soon as the golden needle left, a small drop of blood immediately appeared on the white arm, and the blood slowly flowed out. Ling cooperated by flipping his arm and reaching the spot where the blood was dripping onto the sculpture. The bright red blood dripped drop by drop on the demon statue. I gently hugged Ling to let her relax. If she was too nervous, the blood would flow too fast!
A lot of blood must have been drained, and the demon part of the statue has basically turned red. I quickly gestured backwards, and Vina immediately used healing magic to heal the small hole. Next should be the blood of the goddess of light! I turned around and looked at Xiaochun, and she stepped back step by step. "I don't want it!" I knew this would happen. Xiaochun's loyalty was not enough to make her commit suicide!
She didn't come over, so I had to go over by myself, crossed the blood pool and walked towards Xiaochun, but she surrounded the blood pool and played with me like a hawk and catching chickens! "Xiao Chun, don't be afraid, you don't need much blood!"
"I won't do it!"
"No one can die, what's the big deal, it's just a little blood!"
"I just won't do it!"
"What are you afraid of?"
"If you don't do it, you don't do it!" Xiaochun looked ready to fight to the end!
After chasing around the blood pool for several times, I lost my patience. "Scott, everyone come together and help me catch her!" The room was not big to begin with, and with 10 demon knights plus Vina and Vida, Xiaochun had no chance of escaping. Several demon spirit knights lifted Xiao Chun over with two hands and two feet. The caught Xiao Chun was still twisting desperately but refused to cooperate!
I held the gold needle and tried it for a long time but couldn't get it right. There was no way for her to bleed if she moved around like this! "Two more people came over and held her down for me!" What a trouble! I have to solve it violently!
