Fire Monster

Chapter 170 Future Planning
"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, but military orders are as heavy as a mountain, and I dare not disobey. Please cooperate with me."

When Xu Ming found Zhao Guanshan, he was in a meeting with core members of the team including Liu Yuwei, Xiao Chengyun, Wang Chen, Deng Jiu, Yu Che, and Sun Zei. Now the second development city has completed the city building stage and entered the development stage.

The most important thing about development is planning.

A clear and precise route must be drawn up, and then the right people must be assigned to execute it, rather than just working hard.

"Brother Xu, don't be anxious. Sit down first. You can also listen to our meeting today. It won't be too late to make a fuss after you've finished listening."

Zhao Guanshan smiled and said that the Zhang family's counterattack was quite effective, but the problem was still not serious. Anyway, they had been forced into a dead end. Could it be that he, the murderer of Zhang Henian, still wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter?
Therefore, Xu Ming cannot be let go, and neither can the new recruits under his command.

The current situation is the best situation envisioned by the Chief Secretary. We do not recognize you in name, we condemn you by law, and you have to bear the rest on your own.

This is the treatment you get when you are a knife wielder.

If the Chief Secretary takes the blame for killing Zhang Henian, would they still be needed as stabbers?

First of all, there is no room for confusion regarding hatred value.

"But--"

Xu Ming wanted to say something else. Military orders were as heavy as a mountain. If he didn't obey the order issued by the Demon Suppression Division, it would be a serious crime. A serious crime would -

Xu Ming suddenly came to his senses, looked at Zhao Guanshan's smile, and was no longer anxious, and sat down.

The Taoist Palace has an order that there is no death penalty, and the only crime is exile outside the Imperial Seal Great Wall as a criminal.

But he is now outside the Imperial Seal Great Wall, and even his family has been exiled. What is he afraid of?

"Brother Xu, let me introduce you first. This is our City Lord Liu, Liu Yuwei, a three-seal martial artist, but also a second-level Qi cultivator, my senior sister."

"This is our military supervisor, Xiao Chengyun, a Level 2 Qi Refiner, and my junior sister."

"As for me, my name is Zhao Guanshan, the only heir of a declining immortal cultivation family, and I am also a Qi cultivator."

Zhao Guanshan spoke calmly and revealed Liu Yuwei's identity to all the core members for the first time. This was not only to include Xu Ming as a core member, but also to give other core members a reassurance.

In the future, they will not only face various crises and difficulties, but will also certainly encounter various inducements and bribes, so the core members must understand that following them as a trio means there is hope, light, and a future.

"what!"

Xu Ming was shocked, and everyone else was also stunned. It was unbelievable that our boss was actually a second-level Qi Refiner!

It's just too messy.

Including Liu Yuwei herself, everyone was very confused. She did not expect Zhao Guanshan to suddenly reveal her identity.

Especially when Zhao Guanshan directly called her "senior sister", that feeling made her whole body numb.

Everyone was still in shock, but Zhao Guanshan continued, "Everyone, this is my neighbor Xu Ming. He is currently a single-seal martial artist, and his strength may not be very high, but everyone has seen his ability to lead the army in the past month, so I think he can be included in the core of the team. What do you think?"

"Okay, I agree!" Wang Chen was the first to speak, and everyone agreed. Xu Ming was an outsider, but in the past month, he had indeed trained his new recruits very well. If Liu Yuwei had not used the ultimate method of sending his wife, his military morale would not have been disrupted.

"Very good. Now, let me continue to talk about the pressures faced by our second pioneer city, our disadvantages, and our existing advantages."

"In four days, the Dao Palace will announce the normalization of war. Our defense zone is divided by the Demon Suppression Net, which is 100 miles long from north to south and 80 miles long from east to west. We need to consolidate the defense of this Demon Suppression Net behind us. At the same time, we have to defend the Second Pioneer City and face the Zhang family's conspiracy. The pressure is still very high."

"But we are in a good position now. Up to now, including the reinforcements given to us by the Chief Secretary and those we can repair, we have a total of 150 Psychic Heavy Crossbows, 100 of which are in use and 50 can be repaired."

"In addition, since we have an operating table, we can also make a psychic arrow box. With the help of the first-level spirit supply tower, we can stabilize the situation and defend the city without any pressure."

"The real test for us is to fight outside the city. We must fight outside the city, not only because we have to defend the Demon Suppression Net defense line behind us, but also because we must actively attack and destroy the Demon Mother's nest to obtain pure Demon Spirit Liquid to provide core energy for the first-level Spirit Supply Tower."

"But if we are going to fight outside the city, the Imperial Seal Chariot is a very important war vehicle. Because with the eighth-level evil demons lurking around, it is almost a dead end to leave the city with a conventional shield formation."

"At present, we have a total of five first-level Imperial Seal Chariots, three of which have been modified and upgraded, and I will complete the modification of the remaining two as soon as possible. Assuming that each Imperial Seal Chariot can be equipped with two psychic heavy crossbows and each chariot can carry twenty soldiers, the number of troops we can send out of the city to fight is 100."

"These must be the most elite 100 people, organized into five teams. The captain of the first team will be Wang Chen, the captain of the second team will be Deng Jiu, the captain of the third team will be Yu Che, the captain of the fourth team will be Zhang Qian, and the captain of the fifth team will be Mu Mingyuan."

"You two can select yourselves as deputy captains and team members. Senior Sister Yuwei and Junior Sister Chengyun can serve as advisors. It is worth mentioning that you must remember my words. Senior Sister Yuwei, from now on, you are not allowed to be in the front row or be the main attacker. Even if you want to attack, you can only use the psychic longbow. On the battlefield, I will never give you an order to expose your identity as a Qi Refiner. You must remember this."

Zhao Guanshan spoke solemnly, repeatedly emphasizing that although this was a waste for Liu Yuwei's powerful combat power, it had to be done this way. If such a top-notch auxiliary treatment unit had problems, who would be responsible? "Okay!"

Liu Yuwei nodded.

"And on the battlefield, Junior Sister Chengyun, you are the first main attacking Qi Refiner, which means you are the first Qi Refiner who can be exposed. If the situation permits, I will do my best to ensure that you are not exposed, but I will activate my family's treasure at the critical moment. In short, this is also equivalent to a Qi Refiner."

"As for defense, we still need to set up five teams. According to the numbering, the captain of the sixth team is Sun Ze, the captain of the seventh team is Xu Ming, the captain of the eighth team is Tian Xian, the captain of the ninth team is Sun Jiaer, and the captain of the tenth team is Tie Qingteng."

"Five defense teams, each with 40 people, will take turns on duty, and always ensure that there is one team in reserve."

"Now, let me talk about the logistics within the city, which is equally important besides offense and defense."

"At present, the total population of our Second Pioneer City is 3219, including 126 veterans from the former Second Pioneer Battalion, 145 new recruits, and 30 new recruits who have migrated here. This can barely cover our ten main combat and defense teams."

"From now on, these people will be full-time soldiers. They will no longer be responsible for other affairs in the city. Apart from fighting, they will also be training."

"As for the families of these soldiers, in principle, if they have children under the age of five who need to be taken care of, they do not need to be involved in various affairs."

"In addition to these 301 families, we also have 209 families who have migrated here. Without exception, these families are mainly composed of Qi Refining Apprentices. They will be responsible for the logistics of the Second Pioneer City."

"At present, we have 32 maintenance operation platforms, including 30 Gui-class operation platforms and 2 Xin-class operation platforms."

"Fifteen pharmaceutical preparation workstations."

“I plan to build two workshops and a small Taoist temple based on this.”

"You, Junior Sister Chengyun, will concurrently serve as the headmaster of the small Taoist temple, and Hu Baimu will serve as the deputy headmaster."

"The next thing we have to do is to assess all the Qi Refiners apprentices."

At this point, Zhao Guanshan laughed. In fact, there was nothing wrong with this one.

Those Qigong apprentices have all passed the Taoist Academy's liberal arts final examination and have worked in various workshops for several years, so they have rich experience.

The Chief Secretary did a good thing this time, as it directly sent him more than 400 skilled workers.

Really, in the past, Zhao Guanshan was alone, surrounded by martial artists. When he was a martial artist apprentice, he really felt like he was standing on the top of the world, overlooking all the other mountains.

No matter what he does, there is no one to analyze, appreciate or understand him.

But it is different now.

Among these more than 400 people, regardless of gender, all of them can skillfully repair various psychic weapons, and all of them can skillfully deploy a first-level sealed hut.

Moreover, there are at least two hundred people who can expertly maintain and deploy the second-level Imperial Seal Hut, prepare the marrow-cleansing spiritual fluid, and make their own psychic weapon parts.

Furthermore, there are at least thirty people here who can skillfully maintain and deploy third-level imperial seal houses, and in theory they can also engrave Xin-level spiritual supply arrays and maintain spiritual heavy crossbows.

Then they can all help deploy the first-level spirit-supplying tower.

If the strength of the Demon Suppression Division lies in the fact that there are martial artists everywhere, then the strength of the Governor's Division lies here.

A small slum alley can produce so many skilled industrial workers.

So this is why Zhao Guanshan couldn't help laughing, it was so comfortable.

Just like now, before these skilled industrial workers came, Zhao Guanshan had to do it himself if he wanted to build the Chiyin Apartment Building, and he was exhausted like a dead dog.

But now that this group of people have arrived, we only need to give them an order. They don’t even need specific technical parameters. After visiting for a while, they can spontaneously form several construction teams and start working right away.

With so many people getting involved, it is expected that ten similar Imperial Seal apartment buildings will be built by tomorrow morning.

In the past, they could only live in the first-level imperial huts in Slum Alley, and the reason they could not upgrade was not because they didn't know how, but because they had no money.

Just like the big villas on Earth, is it because ordinary construction workers don’t know how to build them that they can’t live in them?
Are the delicacies from land and sea in restaurants unaffordable because ordinary kitchen staff cannot cook?
