Fire Monster

Chapter 175 The Gift Package from the Zhang Family
Two days flew by.

The time has finally come for Dao Palace to declare war normalized.

The Second Pioneer City was also prepared for the battle from top to bottom.

To the outside world, the five imperially-sealed chariots have all been modified, and each of the five teams has received a chariot.

Each chariot is equipped with two psychic heavy crossbows, which can be said to be capable of both offense and defense, like a upgraded version of a traditional weapon.

After two days of retreat, Deng Jiu successfully advanced to the level of a three-seal martial artist.

The five long sword main attackers, Wang Chen, Yu Che, Zhang Dayong, Pan Cheng and Xu Hu, were unprecedented in that each of them was equipped with four luxurious psychic long swords.

All of them are Xin-level spirit supply array + second-level broken gold spirit attachment + explosive spirit attachment.

Theoretically, with the help of the Imperially Sealed Chariot, the Psychic Heavy Crossbow, and Zhao Guanshan, Liu Yuwei, and Xiao Chengyun, they can kill about five eighth-level evil demons in a row.

The combat effectiveness is skyrocketing.

Internally, the five teams of Sun Zei, Xu Ming, Tian Yan, Sun Jiaer and Tie Qingteng were responsible for defending the city.

A first-level spirit supply tower + one hundred and forty psychic heavy crossbows. I wouldn’t say it can be impregnable, but it’s almost there.

Among them, there were fifty psychic heavy crossbows, which were repaired under the supervision of Jia Xian. The repair was successfully completed in two days and two nights. His deployment of personnel, arrangement of materials, and mastery of maintenance technology all refreshed Zhao Guanshan's cognition.

For the first time, Zhao Guanshan felt ashamed of himself. This was truly the demeanor of a chief craftsman.

Even Hu Baimu, Lord Hu, remained silent after seeing this.

It can be said that this is truly a genius in managing logistics.

He integrated the logistics team of the Second Pioneer City, and even Zhao Guanshan, Hu Baimu and Sun Zei put together were no match for him.

He is worthy of being the leader of the workshop workers.

"Brother, the Dao Palace has sent an order."

At this moment, Xiao Chengyun suddenly shouted, took out her identity jade card, and held it high towards the sky. Soon, a green light lit up from the jade card, and continued to spread, turning into a curtain with a radius of dozens of meters.

Soon after, a purple-gold light fell from the sky and shone onto the green curtain, quickly evolving into a purple-gold scroll. In the scroll, countless white lights emerged and the image of a white-haired old man slowly took shape.

At the same time, a clear and loud voice rang out throughout the city.

"Dao Palace Order No. 9821!"

"From today on, Linjiang Prefecture will implement the normalization of war. The Demon Suppression Department, the Provincial Administration Department, the Taoist Academy, and all subordinate government offices and war camps must unconditionally execute this order."

"The details of the decree are as follows."

"First, establish the first line of defense, which will be managed by the four camps in the southeast, northwest and northeast of the Demon Suppression Division. The mission of the first line of defense is to ensure that no evil demons of level nine or above will cross the first line of defense and enter the second line of defense. The Dao Palace will adjust the monitoring intensity. If a ninth-level evil demon crosses the line, not only will the three-level accountability system be implemented, but 10,000 Dao Palace contribution points will also be deducted."

"At the same time, on the first line of defense, every hour, four tenth-level evil demons, one hundred ninth-level evil demons, one thousand eighth-level evil demons, and a total of one Jing of demonic energy will be deployed."

"As long as the four camps of the Demon Suppression Division can successfully kill these four tenth-level evil demons and all the ninth-level evil demons, they can obtain 10,000 Dao Palace contribution points."

"Second, the commander of the first line of defense of the Demon Suppression Division needs to deploy no more than twenty eighth-level demons and no more than two hundred seventh-level demons to the second line of defense every three hours, with a demonic energy of no more than 100 trillion."

"Given the special nature of the Demon Suppression Network and the ever-changing battlefield situation, the Demon Suppression Division has the right to stop deploying it and choose the right time to deploy it. However, each time it is deployed, a warning must be given in advance."

"At the same time, the amount of investment cannot exceed 20% of the prescribed investment amount."

"Third, establish a second line of defense. The five pioneering cities built by the governor and the five pioneering cities built by the Taoist temple will be responsible for the second line of defense. The mission of the second line of defense is to ensure that no evil demons of level seven or above will cross the second line of defense. If there is a crossing of the line, the governor and the Taoist temple will bear the responsibility themselves."

"Fourth, the normalization of this war is a move by the Dao Palace to decentralize the defense pressure. To this end, the Dao Palace will open up more Dao Palace Contribution points that can be exchanged. The details are as follows."

"The Demon Suppression Bureau is allowed to redeem five million merit points each month, and the exchange rate with the Dao Palace contribution points is one to one."

"The amount of Dao Palace coins that the Chief Secretary is allowed to exchange each month is 10 million, and the exchange rate with Dao Palace contribution is five to one."

"The amount of merit points that the Dao Academy is allowed to redeem each month is 2 million points, and the exchange rate with the Dao Palace contribution is one to one."

"Note: Dao Palace contribution points obtained from other channels are not included in this exchange amount."

"In principle, the Dao Palace will not interfere with the exchange of merits and large amounts of money between the Demon Suppression Department, the Provincial Administration Department, and the Dao Academy."

"The bulk material transactions and defense mission ratio negotiations between the Demon Suppression Department, the Provincial Administration Department, and the Dao Academy are conducted once a year. In principle, the Dao Palace does not interfere."

"Fifth, except for the Demon Suppression Department, the Administrative Department, and the Taoist Temple, all qualified civilian workshop organizations and third-level Qi Refiners can obtain Taoist Palace Contribution Points by killing evil demons within the first and second lines of defense, but they cannot overlap with the overall."

"Killing an eighth-level evil demon will earn you 100 Dao Palace Contribution Points, killing a ninth-level evil demon will earn you 500 Dao Palace Contribution Points, and killing a tenth-level evil demon will earn you 2500 Dao Palace Contribution Points." "Sixth, this order will be in effect for twelve months. At the same time, the Dao Palace has the power to interrupt this order at any time."

"I hope all parties will be informed."

……

A purple light flashed, the figure disappeared, and Xiao Chengyun's identity jade card returned to its original state. She fiddled with the identity jade card towards Zhao Guanshan, feeling quite proud.

"See? This is the advantage of being a Level 3 Qi Refiner. If I were not a Level 3 Qi Refiner, I would not even be able to receive this decree from the Dao Palace."

"Will that scare the Zhang family away, or make the Governor be more respectful to us?" Zhao Guanshan asked with a smile.

Xiao Chengyun immediately rolled his eyes.

Not to mention that the Zhang family already has an ancestor who is a fifth-level Qi Refiner in the Taoist Palace, nor the important political position of the Provincial Administration in Linjiang Prefecture, just take the current front-line battlefield, yes, the first-line battlefield under the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Bureau, there are at least three hundred third-level Qi Refiners in charge.

These Qi Refiners were the veterans who were normally needed to go to the battlefield. Before, she was just a new Qi Refiner who was recruited before she even finished her training.

Even now, she is a young Qi-refining practitioner who has just advanced to the third level. How could she have the virtue to make the Zhang family afraid and the governor respect her?

Zhao Guanshan was about to say something when he suddenly heard a rapid and heavy bell sound from high in the sky. Then, the Demon-Suppressing Net under the jurisdiction of their city burst out with a huge amount of spiritual light, and countless talismans circled and changed on the Demon-Suppressing Net.

This is a sign of being thoroughly aroused.

At this moment, Xiao Chengyun suddenly cursed, "How despicable! The Demon Suppression Division actually released 20 trillion demonic energy into us!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Although none of them, including Zhao Guanshan, could understand how to distinguish the quality of the Demon-Suppressing Net, they understood the most basic calculations.

The Taoist Palace requires that the first line of defense release 100 trillion demonic energy to the second line of defense every three hours, and the maximum cannot exceed 20%, which is 120 trillion.

There are a total of ten pioneer cities in the second line of defense, so each pioneer city should be allocated twelve trillion magic energy.

But now they received twenty trillion demonic energy at once.

This is really blatant bullying!
But at this time, Xiao Chengyun still frowned, and the next moment she suddenly shouted: "Twenty-five trillion demonic energy, this is already the limit of this demon-suppressing net. Brother, be prepared for the battle! At least three eighth-level evil demons and thirty seventh-level evil demons."

"In addition, this is not a violation, because the total amount of demonic energy released by the first line of defense did not exceed 120 trillion! And the Dao Palace will not care about such a trace-level operation. Remember one sentence, if it is not prohibited, it is allowed!"

"This is the Zhang family's revenge, and it is also what the governor wants. Only when we bear more pressure here can the other four pioneering cities be able to handle it with ease and develop step by step."

"But this is our chance! Isn't it? A third-level Qi Refiner is here to thank the Zhang family for the merits they sent us!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Chengyun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In fact, what they fear the most now is that the Demon Suppression Division will not release demonic energy to them and will keep them hanging. In just ten months, the first-level spirit supply tower will be without pure demonic spirit liquid as energy supply, and then their second pioneer city will naturally collapse and disintegrate!
Really, this is an unsolvable conspiracy!
But it is estimated that the Zhang family is unwilling to wait another ten months. Besides, the Governor's Office and the Taoist Temple cannot bear too much pressure, and the Zhang family cannot cover everything in the Demon Suppression Bureau.

In other words, let me tell you the truth which may not sound good.

Without the consent of the Taoist temple and the governor, it would be difficult for the Zhang family to play this game!

In any case, the other nine pioneering cities will need time to develop.

For the sake of these cute little babies, you have to endure the hardship of this wild child you picked up in the Second Pioneer City. Who told you that you have no one above you?

At this moment, Zhao Guanshan and Liu Yuwei understood immediately, and the other core senior executives also smiled in tacit understanding.

It was finally their turn to perform in this big drama.

"Open the city gates and go out to fight as planned!"

At Liu Yuwei's command, she and Xiao Chengyun rode in the same imperially-sealed chariot, and immediately two more imperially-sealed chariots followed.

These three imperially-sealed chariots are the main forces that the second pioneer city will use and can be displayed openly.

However, Zhao Guanshan and the two elite teams led by Deng Jiu and Wang Chen took the last two imperially-sealed chariots and stayed in the city temporarily.

Because these two sealed chariots were specially dismantled by Zhao Guanshan and illuminated with fifth-level dispelling runes to ensure that there would be no tampering in any way.

He will take advantage of his statue's vision and go for the perfect killing mode with these two sealed chariots.

Every eighth-level evil demon is his beloved flesh and blood, and his spiritual food. He will not allow any unkind or imperfect killing.
