"Lieutenant General Yu, I know this is difficult, but we have no choice.
I will transform the mechanical beasts into tools to assist the soldiers."
Luo Chen's expression was serious, but his request did not change.
"Since we can use the tools transformed by the beasts, why can't we directly drive the beasts to carry out construction?" Yu Xiao was very puzzled.
"That's different. Humans will definitely play a large role in this construction process. The mechanical beasts I provided are just auxiliary."
Seeing Luo Chen's determined eyes, showing no intention of changing his mind, Yu Xiao sighed softly.
"Okay, tomorrow morning, I will allocate some soldiers to assist you in your work."
Luo Chen thanked him softly, "Thank you very much, Deputy General Yu. I still have to go to other city gates, so I won't bother you for now."
When Luo Chen's figure disappeared in the night sky, Yu Xiao, who was escorting him out the door, had a deep doubt in his eyes. He wondered what big move Cun Youshan was making.
Why must a monument be built outside the city gate, and why must the soldiers build it by hand? Who is it for?
That night, Luo Chen visited the four city gates in succession. Fortunately, although the guards had doubts, they did not refuse Luo Chen's request.
On October 8, 552 of the New Calendar, some city guards received a special order.
That is to build a monument nearly one kilometer outside the city gate.
It is not strange to build a monument, but it is a bit strange to let the soldiers participate in it personally.
In an era when most matters were left to skilled beast tamers, the idea of humans building a monument a hundred meters high with their own hands seemed like a fantasy.
But the order came from above, even though there were many complaints in their hearts, the soldiers still picked up the tools and used them in the mold condensed by the mechanical beast.
Pour in a special 'cement' made of gravel, stones and various metals.
The construction speed was much faster than expected, because although Luo Chen asked them to cast the monument themselves, he still provided mechanical beasts as tools.
The guards only need to shovel the special "cement" that has been delivered to them into the mold one shovel at a time.
Players will be replaced for rest every once in a while. Overall, it is easier than their training.
However, the temperature outside the city was much lower than that inside. Even the king-level beastmasters like them felt a little cold and had to wear thicker clothes.
At the end of the first day, the monument had been built to a height of about 20 to 30 meters. Judging from the situation, there would be no difficulty in completing the task within seven days.
Yu Xiao stood on the city wall and watched the construction process of the monument. There was a crack on his calm face. The construction situation was a little different from what he had imagined.
What he thought of as personally doing it was that the entire process including the mold and the production of "cement" was personally participated in by the city guards.
If Luo Chen had said earlier that it was "personally" like this, he wouldn't have been so conflicted at the time.
Luo Chen inspected the construction progress of the four monuments one by one and expressed great satisfaction with the current progress.
By this calculation, the Four Seasons White Star Beast will be able to successfully evolve in seven days.
That night,
After only one day, the temperature between heaven and earth dropped a lot. Now the temperature exposed to the outside air is estimated to have reached minus 41 or 42 degrees Celsius.
Chang Guiheng was driving eight four-season white beasts to roam around the city, and the corresponding beastmasters mobilized by the disaster prevention department were also roaming around the city.
The temperature in the city has actually risen a lot. On average, it is at least around ten degrees below zero. Although it is cold, given the better physique of humans in the Beast Taming World, at least walking normally outside is not a big problem.
An underground gathering place somewhere in the capital.
The dim lights illuminated the black-robed figures sitting on both sides of the mottled long table.
Their bodies and faces were all covered in robes, making them look very mysterious.
A hoarse voice sounded.
"Evolution Holy Council, the emergency meeting of all departments begins now."
As he finished speaking, the small bell hanging beside the long table swayed gently, and invisible waves spread from its body to the surroundings, then instantly enveloped the entire room.
Perhaps this layer of membrane covering the entire room is a kind of protection. The black-robed figures gathered here took off their robes one after another, revealing their true faces.
Some have human bodies and snake tails, some have wings on their backs, and some have eight spindly spider legs...
Everyone's appearance is different, but without exception, they all have some animal characteristics to a greater or lesser extent.
Could this be some secret gathering place for high-level beast tamers?
"I'm dying of suffocation." The voice came from the sexy snake woman with a human body and a snake tail.
She casually brushed her waist-length hair and looked at the old man with green leaves growing on his head who was sitting next to the bell.
"Mr. Ye, isn't it the scheduled time for the rally yet? What mission is it that's so urgent?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked around the room and explained in his dry, wooden voice:
"The high priest has given us a mission: to kill Zhuang Sheng's new disciple."
As soon as these words were spoken, a dozen or so half-human, half-beast creatures with different appearances in the dim conference room looked at each other in surprise.
The young man with the gray bird wings combed his hair, which was as messy as a bird's nest, and then said with an exaggerated expression:
"Master Ye, you are not kidding, right? We have assassinated Zhuang Sheng's disciples more than once over the years. Which one was successful?
And this is in the capital, I think it would be better for us to go back to bed after taking a shower."
Despite such a rebuttal, Ye Zhiqiu's expression remained calm.
"Yiyuan, this time is different from the previous ones. The high priest will cause a big incident somewhere else, so that Zhuang Sheng's attention will be focused here."
"Big event?"
"After this, all members of our Evolution Holy Society will leave the capital and go to the wild. The High Priest has already found the most suitable residence for us.
From now on, we no longer have to hide like rats in this capital city."
The man with eight spider legs spoke with a doubtful look on his face, "Going out into the wild? We won't have any problems with this weather, but those lower-level members might not be able to handle it, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at the man with white spider legs and said, "Zheng Huo, when did you become so soft-hearted? If you can't stand it, just leave it behind."
The man called Zheng Huo frowned, but under Ye Zhiqiu's calm gaze, he opened his mouth but finally said nothing.
