Chapter 182 Seeing Da Chu Again
After several days of continuous autumn rain, the weather became a little cooler.
If the calendar is correct, winter will come in another month.
Today's winter is completely different from the winter two thousand years ago. Even though there are clouds of negative energy, evil ghosts and spirits are rarely seen. Over time, these have become legendary existences.
Walking on the morning dew, Zhang Yang returned to the royal city, climbed up the towering city wall and looked around. The royal city today has not changed much from four months ago, but there are three additional extremely solid fortresses outside the royal city.
At this point, the royal city's outer defense system was basically formed.
This system includes the Nantianmen Fortress, Xifeng Fortress, Beifenghuotai Fortress, Dongshan Fortress and the Southeast Cangbinggu Fortress.
These five fortresses are the proudest work of old man Zhaozhou. After the completion of the five fortresses, he directly sighed that as long as he had 30,000 soldiers, this royal city would never be breached.
Of course Zhang Yang would not argue with the old man, because he also thought so. Before the dragon veins and spiritual fields in the royal city withered and exhausted, and before more powerful military forces appeared, the royal city was indeed unconquerable.
"So, with good fortune comes misfortune, and with misfortune comes good fortune. The location of this royal city is too remote, which is not conducive to development. The transportation is inconvenient, and even large-scale reclamation of farmland is impossible. But precisely because it is built in the mountains, the defense is really the best in the world."
Zhang Yang couldn't help but praise. He came here specifically to check the defense of the royal city because just yesterday, the demon dragon that had started a state of war reappeared after disappearing for four months. And according to the scouts sent by Wu Ya, now a million demons have gathered outside this mountain and completely sealed off the mountain.
After hearing this news, Zhang Yang was relieved, because the total number of regular and combat-capable extraordinary demon legions was less than 500,000, and they were all distributed in various battlefields for hegemony, so these one million demons could only be the most rubbish Mirage demons.
The other party sealed the mountain in this way in the hope of restricting his development. This shows that the demons are under great pressure on the front line, or they are deploying troops and cannot return to support for the time being.
This is a good thing.
However, he could not take it lightly, so he hurried back to make targeted arrangements.
"My lord, what we lack now is population and time. But even so, if the demons launch a large-scale attack now, we can still hold out for three to five years."
Wu Ya spoke behind Zhang Yang. He was such a proud man, but now he was full of praise for this royal city and was extremely polite to the old man Zhaozhou.
This royal city is truly amazingly built.
Before the five fortresses were completed, nothing could be seen, but since the completion of the five fortresses, the defense of the entire royal city has become an integrated whole, with both offensive and defensive capabilities. In any case, Wu Ya himself admitted that he could not capture it.
"Wu Ya, your next mission is the most important. You must ensure the smooth flow of the northern official road, especially the North Beacon Tower Fortress. This fortress is 200 miles away from the royal city. Although it is a level 5 pass, you cannot take it lightly because it is related to the northern throat of the royal city and cannot be lost."
Zhang Yang instructed that the North Beacon Tower Fortress was built based on the official road that was built before, in a very steep valley 200 miles away. After the construction was successful, if the demons wanted to attack the royal city, they would either have to climb cliffs thousands of meters high or attack this place by force. Therefore, Zhang Yang sent Wu Ya and his cavalry group to garrison there.
At the same time, the old man Zhaozhou was also busy. He led 1,500 craftsmen to build the first level 5 county town of Zhang Yang's forces behind the North Beacon Tower Fortress (Zhang Yang can only build a level 3 county town for the time being, but because of Zhaozhou's identity as a legendary master, he can build a level 5).
It is expected to be completed before winter and will be used to accommodate the 10,000 refugees.
Then, in another four months, Zhang Liang will return from the trial world. If he succeeds, he will bring back 100,000 refugees and 20,000 new soldiers, all of whom will need a place to settle.
As for Wu Lei and Lei Ming, they are still training special troops. It is expected that in eight months, the second batch of 500 Panshi heavy infantry and 200 heavy armored Modao captains will be trained.
Everything is on track, all we need is time.
"In that case, I will just take this last step!"
Zhang Yang made a decision in his mind. In the past four months, he had cultivated 99 breaths of innate spiritual energy by absorbing the essence and blood of the Jindan stage demon cultivator. He was only one step away from completing the job transfer task.
As long as he passes this step, he will be above the extraordinary and can go looking for trouble with the hidden dragon of the demon clan. He hates this feeling of being restricted.
After sending Wu Ya away, Zhang Yang prepared to make the final breakthrough in the royal city, the final step he had been waiting for for a long time.
But just when he was burning incense, bathing, calming his mind, and getting everything ready, for some reason, he suddenly felt annoyed, and then involuntarily, an illusion flashed through his mind when he first bound the fairy village building order.
In the illusion, there was only a ruin of yellow sand, and nothing was left.
"puff!"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zhang Yang felt that the feeling of annoyance was much reduced, but his heart was still in panic.
Come suddenly.
"What the hell? I didn't do anything wrong. How could I go crazy before I even established my foundation?"
Zhang Yang didn't know why, but at this time, the village chief was reading "The Complete Book of Da Chu" again.
In the past few months, there has been a reading review of this village construction order every five or six days. Sometimes it is very interesting, sometimes it is very boring. But this time, the Great Chu Emperor Duan Jiusi appeared in the reading review for the first time.
"On the 15th day of the 9th month in the autumn of the fourth year of the Chronicle of Disasters, I was feeling depressed, so I read the Complete Book of Great Chu. I came across the biography of the Great Chu Emperor, which seemed to be incomplete. I didn't know why, so I became puzzled and continued to look for it. Finally, I saw a few words, saying: When the Great Chu Emperor Duan Jiusi was young, he was very naughty. There was a strange man who claimed to be a mountain god. He joked with the Great Chu Emperor and said: I can help you conquer the world. How do you thank me?"
After reading this message, Zhang Yang's hands and feet became cold and his breathing almost stopped. He finally realized what the depression in his heart and the strange illusion meant.
"Mountain God?"
"Zhao Xianyu?"
"I'm your uncle!"
"How dare you mess with me?"
Taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Yang quickly calmed himself down and began to think about the whole matter.
First of all, was the guy who claimed to be a mountain god that the Great Chu Emperor Duan Jiusi met when he was a teenager Zhao Xianyu? It is hard to be sure, but if Zhang Yang remembers correctly, when the statue of the mountain god Zhao Xianyu was first made, the appearance used was that of Duan Jiu (for a while, Zhang Yang mistakenly thought it was Zhao Xiaoer).
So, was it a coincidence that Zhao Xianyu found Duan Jiusi?
Secondly, when Duan Jiusi rose to power, it was during the first battle of Hidden Dragons. He was able to defeat all his opponents in the end, of course, because there were endless human heroes at that time, but it was too dreamy. In addition, his dynasty existed for too short a time, and it was destroyed in less than three hundred years.
This is the second doubt.
Third, Zhang Yang did not think that his village civilization could last for 2,200 years. He was content with just 1,000 years of existence. He was confident in this, so when he set a dilemma for Zhao Xianyu and Lame Robin, the biggest limit he gave them was a thousand years.
So, from this point of view, as long as Zhao Xianyu is not killed in the predicament, he will have the ability to return to this world and find the village civilization left by Zhang Yang.
There is no doubt that the competition and invasion of civilizations are actually the same thing.
Fourthly, Zhao Xianyu is essentially a god of incense and fire. He borrowed Duan Jiu's form and took shape with the power of incense and fire, but he is not Duan Jiu. He belongs to the race of gods, assuming that there is such a race setting in the village construction order system.
Therefore, Zhang Yang never expected Zhao Xianyu to be always wary of him or grateful to him, as that was unrealistic.
"In summary, I can boldly assume that my village civilization could only last for a thousand years at best. It should have perished in the first Hidden Dragon Contest, but Zhao Xianyu helped to stir up trouble, allowing Duan Jiusi to unify the world and end the Hidden Dragon Contest, and then my village civilization was able to continue."
"Then why did Zhao Xianyu do this? If he has already controlled Storm City, he will either invade this world for profit or stand aside and watch. Did he take action to repay me? This result is the most naive."
"It's impossible. Zhao Xianyu had already foreseen that I would return as a king, so he ambushed me in advance so that he could slap me in the face and let me, the king, die—"
Zhang Yang's face suddenly turned ugly. Speaking of ingenious predictions, Zhao Xianyu's divination skills could really be called ingenious.
“Swish!”
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in my eyes, and a series of information was forcibly projected out.
"Hidden Dragon 002 unified the Snow Forest County in the North. This is the first hidden dragon in the Hidden Dragon Competition to completely unify the county. King Qi +2."
"Hidden Dragon 002 unified the Changfeng County in the north, King's Qi +2."
"Hidden Dragon 002 kills Demonic Hidden Dragon 059, King's Qi +1."
"Qianlong 002 kills the demon clan's Qianlong 810, and the king's energy +1."
"Hidden Dragon 002 kills the human race's Hidden Dragon 085, King's Qi +1."
"Qianlong 002 has 20 king energy and announced the establishment of the Great Chu Empire. Qianlong 002 removed the Qianlong number and was named Duan Jiushan. He is currently in the human camp."
"The Great Chu Empire's Emperor Duan Jiushan has used up a purple fragment of hope to issue a proclamation to all remaining latent dragons in the world: surrender and you will live, but if you resist, you will die!"
"Friendly reminder, since your identity is not Qianlong, you cannot obtain the original copy of the manifesto."
——
Zhang Yang suddenly laughed. This information came at a very timely moment.
It's Da Chu again, Duan Jiusi, Duan Jiushan, Duan Jiu, haha, Zhao Xianyu, you Gobi! No wonder when he wanted to summon historical figures before, the summoning cost of Duan Jiusi was 23 points of royal energy, and he said that this was wrong, so that's it.
But what exactly does this guy want?
In the first battle of Qianlong, Zhao Xianyu saved Zhangyang's village civilization, and then created a calendar, invented writing, and even produced the Complete Book of Da Chu.
At first glance, these are completely our own people, and they are great contributors to civilization.
Now, in the second Hidden Dragon Contest, this guy shows up again, using the same tactics.
It's impossible that this guy is really repaying a favor.
"No, he is raising pigs! He uses his advantage of being able to lock onto this world and raises pigs as a dragon crossing the river. He is raising civilized pigs! When the pigs are fat, it will be time to invade and kill them!"
Zhang Yang finally growled in a low voice.
