People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Yunxi had no choice but to go to Lingdou City as a special envoy of Poseidon Pavilion under the protection of Huo Yuhao and his new girlfriend Huo Tianling, no matter how reluctant he was.

After arriving at Lingdou City, Yunxi did not stay for long. He was led by a general to Hucheng, a city that was harassed by the Beidou Ling Fleet.

Everyone is unfamiliar with Lake City, but it has another name - Tianhai City.

That’s right, it was the city where the second-generation Tang God King Tang Wulin had fought hard.

However, the shipping industry is not well developed now, and the major port cities are not very prosperous. The people who go out to sea are limited to the sea dwellers and sea soul masters who live on the seaside all year round.

Yunxi stood on the east city wall of Lake City, looking at the port not far ahead, the expression on his face was extremely solemn.

I saw... there were only four level seven soul guide cannons set up in the huge port. In front of each soul guide cannon, there was only some symbolic protection made of special sand. It was unclear whether they could withstand a round of artillery fire, and they did not provide much protection at all.

Of course, Yunxi knew very well that this was a last resort. Without a navy of the same level as a bargaining chip, no matter how many fortifications were built, it would be useless. It would be better to save costs and minimize the losses... and so on.

Yunxi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned his head to look at the general beside him, and said in a cold tone: "Why don't you build a city wall?"

Hearing this, Yang Tiexin stammered, "Special Envoy, the commander of the Sea God Pavilion said that the coastline on the east side of the Douling Empire is too long. Instead of building a city wall, it is better to clear the land and relocate the residents of the major port cities to the inland."

"Asshole! Wars are fought for morale. The war hasn't even started yet, but they're already relocating residents on a large scale. Even if Ou Ze wants to avoid sticking to the pan, shouldn't he consider the situation?"

Yunxi was so angry that she slammed the city wall. She didn't understand it before, but after hanging out in the circle of the second and third generations of Poseidon Pavilion for a while, she finally saw through the character of those bastards.

When spending money on yourself, even if it's in a brothel, you don't feel bad if tens of millions of gold soul coins go down the drain. But if you spend it on other things, you won't feel comfortable spending even a copper soul coin.

A few days ago, Chen Yu organized an open fundraising inside Poseidon Pavilion. The idea was that there was a war now and the public account of Poseidon Pavilion was short of funds. In peacetime, everyone had reaped a lot of wealth, and now Poseidon Pavilion was in trouble. How much donations could help Poseidon Pavilion tide over the difficulties?

That was led by Lin Huiqun, and each elder of the Sea God Pavilion reluctantly donated 10 million gold soul coins.

As for those of the second and third generations, some donated fifty, some donated one hundred, some donated three hundred, and some donated five hundred, but not a single person donated more than one thousand gold soul coins.

Faced with a powerful enemy, those plagued nobles would rather spend hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins to stay in brothels than use the money for military expenses.

Perhaps... in the eyes of those people, as long as the Sea God does not fall, there is no need to spend too much on military expenditure under the glory of the Sea God.

On the contrary, if the Sea God falls, what is the point of more military spending?

Huo Yuhao is the epitome of the entire Poseidon Pavilion. In Shrek City, people like him who like to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor are everywhere.

Ugh!
Thinking of this, Yunxi sighed. She finally understood why Chen Yu insisted on letting her go to the front line for investigation.

Because... she, Yunxi, has not yet been completely assimilated by the Sea God Pavilion.

Thinking of this, Yunxi said expressionlessly: "Commander Yang, how about this, you arrange for people to start preparing to build the city wall now. Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. I will prepare all the procedures, funds, resources, and materials. Give me two days, at most two days, and the order from the Douling Royal Family will be in your hands."

After saying that, Yunxi clenched his fists, not caring at all about Yang Tiexin whose face was changing beside him, and walked directly down the city wall, activating the flying soul guide, and flew towards Lingdou City.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared beside Yunxi, holding a document in his hand. "According to the official records of Lake City, the duration of the Beidou Spirit Fleet's harassment was erratic, perhaps three days, perhaps five days. Each time, they traveled light, bombed the port once and then left, without any chance to counterattack."

As he was speaking, Huo Yuhao suddenly paused for a few seconds, and continued with a serious expression: "Under this situation, the difficulty of building the city wall will increase significantly. The city wall built in the morning may be blown down in the afternoon."

Yunxi said expressionlessly: "Building the city wall is not the purpose. The purpose is to show the world our determination to fight. In this world, there is never a shortage of brave men, and there is never a shortage of those who dare to face the baptism of gunfire and rain of bullets to build the city wall. Even if they die in battle, their families can get a generous death pension."

"And if we... are unwilling to give up even these few valuables, the reputation of Poseidon Pavilion will continue to decline, and the scene of Jialing Pass in the past will be staged again."

Huo Yuhao silently stared at the capable girl in front of him. For a moment, he saw the shadows of Meng Bingyu and Chen Yu in her.

This is not surprising. Yunxi worked under Meng Bingyu and Chen Yu successively. As they are both women, it is natural for them to learn from each other's ways of dealing with people.

But... when he thought of Meng Bingyu's character, Huo Yuhao suddenly became suspicious.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yunxi, which one of you, Meng Bingyu or Senior Sister Chen Yu, has helped you grow more?"

Yunxi thought, "It's about the same. Sister Bingyu doesn't give me the feeling of a peer. She's more like one of the older female elders in the family. She teaches me how to behave in society in her spare time."

"As for Chen Yu, she is also a career-oriented girl, but her methods are a little immature. When we were reviewing memorials together, we could discuss a small matter for a long time. We were more like good sisters who helped each other and made progress together."

“Huo Yuhao, you don’t need to doubt my position. I have learned about the situation in the God Realm from Chen Yu. Gods are divided into different levels. The life of low-level gods is not easy. I would rather die of old age in the lower realm than become an eternal slave.”

Unknowingly, the two arrived at Lingdou City again. This time, they did not go to the Poseidon Pavilion office, but came to the Douling Royal Hotel and asked the staff to notify the top leaders of the Douling Empire to come for a meeting.

To put it bluntly, Huo Yuhao and Yunxi wanted to bypass Ou Ze and his group and directly contact the Douling Empire's top leaders to finalize the relevant matters of building a sea defense line. (End of this chapter)
