Shen City, Mayor's Office at City Hall.
“Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling…”
"Hey, what? Okay, I'll be right over there! You guys take care of them first!"
The mayor of Shen City hung up the phone, picked up the clothes hanging on the armrest of his seat and rushed out of the office.
The clerks in the city government saw nothing but a flash before their eyes, and then a figure passed through them.
"Is that Mr. Mayor? Why are you so anxious?"
"I don't know, maybe something happened again."
"Alas, when will this overtime work end?"
None of these discussions affected the mayor who was now rushing towards the city gate.
When he arrived at the city gate, the entire army had already arrived at the open space in front of the city wall.
The city gate that was once tightly closed is now open, and the superior of the city defense team is standing respectfully next to an officer.
Seeing this, the mayor immediately stepped forward with a bright smile on his face.
"Hello, sir. I am Xie Bin, the current mayor of Shen City."
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. The officer didn't try to scare him with words, so he just nodded politely.
"Thank you, Mayor. I've heard a lot about you."
"I believe you already know that our army is here for supplies, so let me make it short."
The officer paused, his tone was gentle and his attitude was not bad, but the meaning of his words made the mayor pale.
"Yinling Valley is less than 50 kilometers away from Shen City. If they launch an attack, Shen City will bear the brunt."
"But because of this, Shen City will also be the best supply station."
"Therefore, our army hopes that the food and fodder for this campaign against the Yinling faction, a rebellious faction, will be borne by the Shen City government."
The mayor forced himself to maintain a smile.
He glanced inconspicuously outside the city, which was densely packed with cavalry.
According to the advance report from the city defense soldiers when they arrived, this army was the Fifth Army of Yuyanzhou.
If the entire army is dispatched, then based on his understanding of the Yuyanzhou army, there are at least 50,000 cavalry outside.
Fifty thousand people need about fifty tons of food a day.
War horses consume almost six times as much food as soldiers. Conservatively speaking, if there is one horse for each person, that would be three hundred tons.
Three hundred and fifty tons of food a day is nothing for a city with developed agriculture.
But for a port city like Shen City, the pressure is huge.
But this is not what scares the mayor.
What really frightened him was that the Yinling Sect was labeled as a rebel force.
As everyone knows, one of the elders of the Yinling Sect is surnamed Xie, and his own surname is also Xie.
In panic, the mayor was caught off guard and looked at the officer in front of him.
The moment their eyes met, Xie Bin knew that the military, or the human leaders, were forcing him to make a choice.
The sect and his own reputation, status, and life were now forced to be placed at both ends of the Taiping.
He had a premonition long ago that this day would definitely come.
He thought he would be confused and sad, but he wasn't.
Xie Bin's mood strangely calmed down.
The mayor and the officer looked at each other, and then he heard his own voice.
"Of course, contributing to the suppression of the rebels is the duty of all humans."
…
Zi Sui passed through the wormhole constructed by the He Yu anchor point, and the faint moonlight dissipated, replaced by bright lights.
Because he was in a different space, Zi Sui could float in the base openly and observe the situation there.
The place is covered with silver-gray metal walls, and different buildings are protected by glowing psychic shields.
The spiritual energy consumption of this base alone is so huge that one can imagine how huge it is.
What's more, hollowing out a mountain to build a base requires a very deep technological background.
Thinking of this, Zi Sui became more cautious in exploring the base.
However, there was no fear in his eyes.
Just when Zi Sui was planning to randomly enter a laboratory based on the size of the psychic energy fluctuations.
"Why do you think the Minister suddenly called us together?"
"Of course, we're discussing how to intervene in the crusade outside!"
"What? The Minister has relatives in the Yinling Sect?"
"No! I told you to read the entire History of the Development of Shield-Type Spiritual Weapons!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go back to school. You first tell me why the minister wants to intervene."
"The prototype of our latest type of shield was first developed by the Yinling School."
"Fuck!"
Zi Sui immediately became interested in what these researchers said.
With a slight flap of his wings, he came behind the two people, and then followed them into the director's laboratory of the Psychic Shield Research Department.
Although it is called a laboratory, it is indeed a two-story building.
There are full-time researchers here, and they don’t need rent, utilities, and experimental materials are almost readily available.
It can be said that good treatment is the main reason why these researchers are willing to stay here.
After a while, the minister sitting in the hall on the first floor looked around and saw that everyone was there, then he spoke.
"The reason we've summoned everyone here is because there's a war going on against the rebel forces outside."
"And the target of the crusade is none other than the Yinling Sect."
As soon as the words fell, the researchers present were all filled with excitement.
"Oh my god, isn't this a godsend opportunity for us to take over the other research results of the Yinling Sect?"
"Very good!"
"When I went to collaborate with them on a development project before, they were always secretive. Now I can openly access their database."
