Fire Monster

Chapter 120 City Building Mission, Triggered

At this moment, the entire huge space on the underground floor suddenly became quiet.

Whether it was the people who were busy or the wounded who were lying there and had no time to be treated, they were all shocked by these words.

Because everyone knows what the energy storage spirit stone means.

Everyone can do the math.

Today, the four-story barracks is still under their control.

The third floor above ground is a independently operated imperial seal formation. Even though it has been frequency-reduced to the second level of imperial seal, it still covers a large area, so it consumes a lot of energy storage spirit stones. Under normal circumstances, it consumes fifty energy storage spirit stones per day.

But now, with demonic energy boiling and pollution getting worse, almost a hundred energy storage spirit stones are consumed every hour.

On the underground floor there is an independent third-level imperial seal formation. The normal daily consumption is one hundred energy-storage spirit stones, but it has now increased to about twenty energy-storage spirit stones per hour.

But this is because all the pressure is borne by the seal formation outside.

Once the outer sealing array is breached, the consumption of this third-order sealing array will be at least three to five thousand energy storage spirit stones every day.

But this is only part of it. Now the evil demons outside are attacking non-stop, and the three shield formations take turns to resist. The consumption of psychic weapons is also huge, starting from one thousand energy storage spirit stones per hour.

That is to say, once Linjiang Prefecture cuts off this spiritual supply line, the 32,000 energy storage spirit stones they now have, which seem to be a lot, can only last for about a day, and cannot even last for two days.

Sun Zei and the others' faces changed drastically.

Zhao Guanshan asked in a deep voice: "So what do you want to say?"

"Cooperate with me. I can help you deploy a first-level spirit supply tower. This was originally planned to be deployed in this pioneer city. With this first-level spirit supply tower, it will be no problem to meet the needs of daily combat."

"And what do you want?"

"It's simple. I just want to survive."

"Are you still going to say that the materials needed to deploy the Spirit Supply Tower are still in the convoy outside the city?"

"That's for sure. The breach in the Demon Suppression Division's front line was just a coincidence. If it was a day later or a day earlier, we wouldn't be so passive. Our Governor's Division suffered heavy losses this time."

"Anyway, I don't mind telling you that as long as we can hold on and defend this place this time, all of us will have done a great deed!"

"What's your name and position?"

"Hu Baimu, a fourth-level clerk in the Fifth Office of the Provincial Government."

The governor's official bowed politely.

He had already seen that Zhao Guanshan was the leader of this group of rebellious warriors and the main culprit, while the others, such as Liu Yuwei, Wang Chen, and Sun Ze, were just supporting roles.

But so what?
Xiao Baiyun misjudged the situation and deserved to be put to death. Ding Wanjin was harsh to his subordinates, which led to a mutiny, and he also deserved to be put to death.

If it were an ordinary time, the Governor would have to make a big move and get to the bottom of it. The people in the Governor's office would not die in vain.

But now, the Chief Secretary really has no energy to pursue it. Building five development cities is the top priority of the Chief Secretary in the next seven years.

Therefore, if we can preserve this pioneering city and the face of the governor under the current circumstances, let alone killing the third in command of the Fifth Yamen, even killing the second in command can be treated as if it never happened.

The Chief Secretary is also eager for talent.

Of course, this group of rebellious warriors probably don’t understand or know clearly what is going on, so they tend to go to extremes, which is not good.

That is why Hu Baimu had to stand up and use his wisdom, his talent and his sincerity to persuade this group of rebels. Then as long as he promised that the governor would not pursue the matter, and if they could do some small merits, or get some rewards like money and goods, this group of rebels would naturally be grateful.

And he will become the great hero in defending the second pioneer city.

Hu Baimu showed a sincere smile over there, and he was looking forward to Zhao Guanshan's reaction.

"Brother Sun, let Hu Baimu be your deputy. If there is anything, just instruct him to do it."

However, Zhao Guanshan did not continue talking with Hu Baimu. What about the convoy outside the city, the supplies, and the first-level spirit supply tower? It sounds simple, but how can it be so easy to do it?

This Hu Baimu is actually as stupid as Xiao Boyun.

I have no idea how critical the current situation is.

One of them used power to pressure, and the other used benefits to lure, as if they never worried about whether the situation would continue to deteriorate.

It seemed as if as long as he could control these warriors, he could reach the sky in one step and victory would be within his grasp.

Don't you even consider whether they can win?

"it is good!"

"Long live the victory, Commander Liu!" "Long live the victory, Deputy Commander Wang!"

Thunderous cheers suddenly came from the entrance of the barracks. Zhao Guanshan hurriedly left the underground floor and came to the ground floor, but he saw that the originally thick demonic energy outside was slowly beginning to dissipate. Everyone was very excited.

"It's amazing! Brother Zhao, you didn't see it. Just now, Commander Liu cooperated with Deputy Commander Wang, using the shield formation as the basis and himself as bait, and actually deceived the seventh-level evil demon. At the last moment, Deputy Commander Wang used the fourth level of sword transformation to kill it!"

Zhao Sande, who was resting, excitedly explained to Zhao Guanshan.

This scene just now gave a huge boost to morale.

The seventh-level evil demon is like a nightmare to them. In the past, as a second-line force like them, they had to have a military supervisor and a Qi-refining master to take charge before they could deal with the seventh-level evil demon.

Now they can join forces to kill him, which is really inspiring.

Zhao Guanshan was also surprised. He felt that Liu Yuwei, who had overcome her fear of the seventh-level evil demon, should have made some progress in strength. Of course, the most important thing was Wang Chen. Although he was a newly promoted double-seal martial artist, his ability to transform sword energy into meteors was truly amazing. With the four changes, even a seventh-level evil demon could not escape.

In fact, apart from the psychic heavy crossbow and the psychic hand crossbow, each of the other psychic weapons actually has extremely powerful killing moves. These are the experiences accumulated and summarized by countless martial artists over the past two thousand years.

However, if you compare these ultimate and killing moves, there are only two or three that are relatively complete and cost-effective.

The sword energy turning into a meteor was one of them.

At this time, as the shield formation outside was reorganized, Liu Yuwei and Wang Chen retreated. The two of them were now responsible for sniping the seventh-level evil demons, so they did not need to participate in conventional shield formation combat.

"Is Mo Lao Er okay?"

Liu Yuwei walked over and asked directly. To be honest, the reason why she and Wang Chen were able to successfully snipe the seventh-level evil demon was that the young man Mo Laoer actually provided a certain degree of tactical misleading.

Even the evil spirits can’t enjoy it.

"It's nothing. A level 4 official from the governor's office stabilized his condition. When I came over, he was already showing signs of waking up." Zhao Guanshan downplayed the situation. Although his family background was a panacea, he would not use it if he could avoid it.

"Level 4 transport clerk? Is he the one called Hu Baimu?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"This guy is very ambitious. When I took Wang Chen and the others into the barracks to search, he actually gave me a 90th-grade marrow cleansing elixir!"

Liu Yuwei said calmly, "Then he also said that he had a way to make us perform great merits and absolve us of our crimes! So I took away the marrow cleansing elixir and put them under house arrest. So, you let him go?"

"I see. Then I would like to congratulate the commander on his breakthrough."

Zhao Guanshan blinked his eyes and smiled, saying, "That Hu Baimu is really good at taking advantage of the situation."

"Do you think he's okay?" Liu Yuwei continued to ask. They already had complete trust in each other, so they could speak directly.

"Even if there is a problem, it will be resolved. The situation is under our control and he has no say in it."

"What's more, he is just a very ambitious low-level official in the governor's office. It is not impossible for us to cooperate. After all, it will be more realistic if he describes the whole incident." Zhao Guanshan pondered.

"But what if Hu Baimu reports us to the Governor?" Wang Chen asked.

"That depends on whether he has the courage to die together with us. It also depends on how much the governor attaches importance to this pioneer city, and whether we can gather enough powerful forces to make this pioneer city our own."

"In a word, the Governor's Office is already penniless after this battle. I'm afraid it won't be able to come up with more resources to build another pioneer city in a short period of time. We may even have to give up some interests to the Demon Suppression Office. But if we can defend this pioneer city, the top leaders of the Governor's Office are not stupid. They won't pursue the matter and will only reward us."

"Then how can we defend this pioneer city? Too many people died this time. Even if we hold on until reinforcements arrive, it will just be a ruined city, right?"

Liu Yuwei asked at this time.

"Simple, what do you think is the most valuable thing about this pioneer city?"

"Is it the criminals living here, or the pioneer camp stationed here, or the city walls, barracks, and various buildings? Sorry, none of them. It is the foundation of the entire pioneer city."

"When this small city was first built, it took a huge amount of effort to build it. A large number of rune spikes were placed underground within a radius of five kilometers, forming a huge seal formation."

"This is the reason why this small town can exist in this wasteland. Otherwise, do you think it is so easy to resist the evil spirit pollution? Including the reason why we can still hold on now, the source of everything is underground."

"Now, the breakthrough point of this huge underground seal formation is right below our barracks. As long as we defend this place, it is equivalent to defending the base of the entire pioneer city. This is why I suggested coming here before, and why we must occupy this barracks and cannot retreat."

After listening to Zhao Guanshan's explanation, Liu Yuwei and Wang Chen suddenly realized.

But the next second, Zhao Guanshan's words made them stunned again.

"We need to repair that first-class Imperial Seal Chariot. If you two are ready, we can tow it back."

While saying this, Zhao Guanshan felt very emotional and a joke flashed through his mind that only people on Earth could understand.

"Beep! S-level city-building mission officially triggered!"
