My Way

Chapter 396 [Northern Wuchen State]

It was a huge city located on a vast plain.

Although the design is relatively ancient, the actual area it occupies is at least comparable to that of the second- and third-tier modern cities in Ling Wuyuan's previous life.

That continuous complex of buildings could easily accommodate millions of people.

Looking around, the opponent's giant city wall, which is hundreds of meters high, is made entirely of giant hard stone bricks with a gray-brown color, a length, width and height of one meter, half a meter, and half a meter respectively, and weighing several tons. Even though the bricks themselves are as hard as metal, they are still densely engraved with a large number of runes. There are defensive runes specifically used to increase defensive capabilities, as well as no-fly runes specifically used to prevent certain enemies with amazing jumping ability from forcibly jumping onto the city wall.

Other than that.

Naturally, there are a large number of attack methods on the city walls.

Not only does it have thousands of giant rune city crossbows that can shoot two or three meter long armor-piercing and blood-letting crossbow arrows, it also has a large number of rune cannons that can fire powerful special shells.

As for the garrison and strong men in the city, there are also quite a few of them.

The imperial court of the [White Mist Kingdom] alone has 500,000 professional soldiers stationed here all year round.

They are unproductive and their only mission is to defend the border areas of the [White Mist Country], slaughter all underground creatures that dare to appear, and prevent them from penetrating into other areas of the country to wreak havoc.

however.

Even though the configuration is so high.

Looking at the rune clock in front of him that automatically counts down according to astronomy and earth veins.

The mayor of this city is still a little bit annoyed.

It was a feeling similar to the coming of period, but much more severe and uncomfortable than that...

The city lord knew very well that the raging tides composed of underground creatures were still controllable most of the time.

But occasionally.

Those underground creatures will bring you some extra surprises, unexpected big surprises...

In the history of the [White Mist Country], the [Northern Black Dust Province] under their charge has seen more than one underground creature with strength reaching the [Divine Power Realm], which is powerful enough to destroy cities and countries.

Although the city has amazing defensive capabilities as a frontier fortress and is self-sufficient to a certain extent.

According to common sense, even after being besieged for more than ten years, it can still maintain its internal needs.

But if I really have to face an opponent of that level... I am ultimately not up to the task.

It is very likely that it will be broken through by a head-on attack from the opponent in a very short time.

therefore.

This is not really the only way.

The city lord really doesn't want to serve here.

This is especially true when you are a member of the royal family.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall! !
As a person of high rank, the uncle of the current [King of the State], and a strong man who has already reached the [Ming Yi Realm], how could he place himself in such a dangerous place? ?

Isn't it good to just find a place to lie down and enjoy life? ?

As long as there is a way.

He had already moistened it...

however.

Bottom line.

He really couldn't shirk this task.

As an extremely important frontier fortress, it is one of the security pillars of the entire country.

This huge city must be guarded and managed by a person of high enough status, strong enough strength and royal blood. Otherwise.

This fortress-like city, with its millions of people, vast resources, and hundreds of thousands of troops...it's hard to make anyone feel at ease.

The royal family simply cannot completely hand over such an important city to outsiders.

at the moment.

The city lord knew very well that according to the regulations, he would need to guard this place for at least a hundred years before his successor would appear.

This directly led to him feeling like he was rolling the dice every time the underground creatures were about to invade on a large scale.

Good shake.

Then we can live happily and peacefully for a few more years.

Not a good shake...

We can only hope that the royal support can be stronger.

otherwise.

His life safety is really difficult to guarantee.

It's a feeling of having no control over life or death.

And when he was frowning.

Beside him, the deputy city lord and the general in charge of the army were also a little helpless about the situation.

Originally, the attack of underground creatures alone was already very annoying.

I actually have a boss who looks so miserable? ?
Without a doubt, this is even more unlucky...

Although they didn't dare to express their true thoughts to each other's faces, both of them felt so.

then.

Without letting the two wait for long, the city lord quickly asked them:

"How many powerful outsiders are there in the city now?"

Although those underground creatures are very troublesome, crises are often accompanied by opportunities.

Therefore, whenever a surging tide of underground creatures is about to emerge, some practitioners in other continents of the [White Mist Country] and even in some more distant countries will hear the news and come here specifically to beg for money, intending to take the opportunity to obtain some underground resources that were extremely rare in the past and can only be obtained at this time.

For your own convenience and to obtain more information.

Those guys who come to take advantage of others will often register their identities and strengths as long as there is no problem with their identities.

After all, everyone's actual target is the group of underground creatures, so they can team up with each other to kill monsters.

And considering that they have a common goal, the city will open various convenient doors and provide various conveniences to each registered strong person.

Although it cannot be said that we can figure out with 100% certainty how many powerful people there are in the city now.

But overall, the official side still knows most of the things.

"So far, 1,641 outsiders have registered who have reached the [Qi Cultivation Realm], 103 outsiders have registered who have reached the [Source Collection Realm], and 15 outsiders have registered who have reached the [Spirit Condensation Realm]. As for the outsiders who have successfully reached the [Ideal Enlightenment Realm], there are only two in total, and they came together..."

After listening to the report from the deputy city lord.

The city lord felt very satisfied.

"Very good. The arrival of these guys can be regarded as increasing the defense strength of our city by a small amount."

"Now, I will directly delegate the management rights of the military warehouse in the city to you. What you need to do is to use the existing resources in the city to assign tasks to those outsiders as much as possible. For some relatively difficult tasks, we have to find ways to let them solve those more difficult problems for us, so as to ensure that our own people are intact as much as possible..."
