Ignoring the shocked group of four, Zhou Chu continued speaking calmly.
"Secondly, the defensive equipment is too weak!"
"Such a magnificent city has only one [Thousand Machine Crossbow], but unfortunately, even the [Thousand Machine Crossbow] is not being used to its full potential."
"Most importantly, has my lord considered how to deal with the current defenses of Le'an City should flying magical beasts appear?"
"This, this..." Wang Xiaoyi was speechless for a moment, unable to utter a word.
“Relying solely on archers for defense is insufficient; at this point, a large number of anti-aircraft weapons are needed!” Zhou Chu spoke eloquently.
"You've said so much, but do you have that many blueprints for siege weaponry?"
Wang Xiaoyi asked the question completely subconsciously, but he was still too naive.
"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear."
Zhou Chu revealed a sly smile, thinking to himself.
"My lord need not worry. Zhou Chu has memorized all the blueprints for the city's defensive equipment."
Wang Xiaoyi then realized that he had been tricked by Zhou Chu again, and he was filled with remorse.
"It's all my fault for having such a big mouth! I'm so stupid, really!"
"Damn it, he got me again!"
Wang Xiaoyi slapped himself with his right hand, feeling utterly awful!
"Third, even with sufficient defensive equipment, proper command is still essential for its effectiveness!"
"The armored guards have high defensive capabilities, but they are too cumbersome. Using them to siege weapons would be a waste of their talents!"
"As for cavalry, they are not suitable for defending cities at all, but if used properly, they can be surprisingly effective!"
"I see that our lord's forces are currently stretched thin. If we could conscript able-bodied men from the city to help defend it during the war, we could perfectly solve these problems."
After Zhou Chu finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xiaoyi again.
Wang Xiaoyi: (￣x￣)
By this time, Wang Xiaoyi had learned his lesson and covered his mouth with both hands, remaining silent.
"Sigh~"
Zhou Chu sighed, "Without a straight man, it's much less fun!"
"This humble official is not talented, but I am able to accomplish this task!"
After a while, Wang Xiaoyi made sure that Director Zhou had finished speaking before he lowered his hands.
"You've said everything, haven't you?"
"Since you are so capable, the task of defending the city will be entirely yours starting tomorrow!"
"Starting tomorrow morning, you will be in charge of building defensive siege equipment. Make sure there are enough defensive siege equipment available for use in tomorrow's siege battle."
After saying these words, Wang Xiaoyi stormed off in a huff!
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Zhou Chu answered loudly from behind, revealing a fox-like smile.
Wang Xiaoyi muttered to himself as he walked.
"Now I understand the thinking of the tyrants of the past. When you encounter someone like Zhou Chu, why not kill him instead of keeping him around for the New Year?"
"He can't even speak properly, he just has to act all high and mighty, it's infuriating!"
"I was so stupid! I wasn't satisfied with being fooled once, I had to be fooled again!"
"Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. Zhou Chu clearly came prepared. I was too naive!"
"I was so angry I lost my mind. If I had just checked Director Zhou's [Information Panel], I would have known everything!"

"It seems that tomorrow's priority is to find a way to recruit more soldiers and train a squad of spearmen before tomorrow's siege."
