Overlord the sky

Chapter 280 Eighth Project Completion

As the overseer appointed by Zheng Qian, the princess carried out Zheng Qian's intention quite well.Under the reward of the princess, the project progress of the moat has been rapidly improved.

With such a heavy reward, even some strong men temporarily recruited by Zheng Qian from Winterfell to serve as the princess' guards quietly went down to the construction site to work as earth diggers when they were not on duty.

The princess was well aware of these situations, but she turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.As long as the construction period can be completed ahead of schedule, she doesn't care about adding more people and spending more money.Anyway, the money was obtained by Zheng Qian, and she was only responsible for spending it.As long as the things Zheng Qian ordered are done well, from her point of view, it will be done.

According to the drawing of the moat that Zheng Qian handed over to the princess, the final finishing touches were to wait for the moat to be completed before laying a bunker on top of the river.The bunker is supported by ancient wood.The centers of these ancient logs supporting the bunkers had to be hollowed out and filled with kerosene.

The thickness of the bunker is subject to the ability to carry three horses running.With such a thickness, as long as Fengshuang hadn't obtained information in advance, it would be basically impossible to find that the area under her feet was a huge trap.

Another project that Zheng Qian ordered the princess to oversee was to build a large reservoir behind Winterfell.The location of the reservoir had been selected in advance, and part of the soil dug from the front of Winterfell was used to build the dam of the reservoir.

The water in the reservoir is introduced from the Tongtian River.Because the Tongtian River flows through Winterfell, the amount of water diversion and canal digging is much smaller than that of the moat.

On the tenth day of Zheng Qian's disappearance, the two major projects of the moat and the reservoir supervised by the princess were successfully completed.

Princess Huniu and the four daughters of Jixiang Tea House inspected the bunkers on the moat all the way, carefully looking for loopholes that might be discovered, trying to be as foolproof as possible.

The moat was built around Winterfell, five hundred feet wide.This distance was calculated by Zheng Qian.

An ordinary fourth-level hegemon, counting their condensed wings, can glide about two hundred feet.This distance is the maximum distance that a fourth-level master can span.For advanced masters above the fourth level, one level higher, the gliding distance can be extended by 350 feet, and the highest level of the seventh-level masters, the maximum gliding distance is [-] feet.

This gliding distance does not exceed the width of the moat, and Zheng Qian originally planned to introduce Fengshuang's army to the surface of the moat. If 40 people are arranged in an army formation, a distance of [-] feet is basically enough.

Calculated based on the maximum gliding distance of a seventh-level master, the moat still has a width of fifty feet for Zheng Qian to flexibly control.

Zheng Qian's move is very insidious. If everything goes according to plan and Fengshuang cooperates well, it is entirely possible for the 40 imperial army to be wiped out here.

But Fengshuang is a person with the qualifications of a hegemon after all.The annihilation of the entire army is only a possibility on paper. When Zheng Qian made this plan, he was not optimistic enough to think that Fengshuang would be defeated without a single soldier.

He didn't disclose any more of Zheng Qian's calculations to others.In the two armies leading the battalion, they basically thought that the purpose of building the moat was to be more conducive to the defense of Winterfell City, and to make Fengshuang's attack more difficult.I didn't expect that the use of the moat could seriously hurt Fengshuang's vitality.

The princess and Huniu waited together, and they just built according to the drawings given by Zheng Qian, and they didn't need to think too much about other things.

Everything has its own Zheng Qian.

However, even after the princess's project was completed, Zheng Qian was never seen again.Zheng Qian seems to have evaporated.

At first, the princess thought that during the construction process, Zheng Qian would definitely show up, and she would be able to talk to him about Dongmei without any effort on her part.But Zheng Qian didn't show her head beyond her expectation, and the princess didn't believe that something happened to Zheng Qian until now.

During this period of time, the Huben Regiment and the Snow Wolf Battalion, while intensifying their training, also freed up some troops to conduct a large-scale search, hoping to find Zheng Qian before the Fengshuang army attacked, but they still found nothing.

This situation is mainly due to the arrangements made by the great elders of Humen in the military supply department.

The iron prison where Hu Pingchuan was held was a specially made cage.Not only Hu Pingchuan was imprisoned in this cage, but Hu Liuxing, the last patriarch of the Tiger Clan, was also imprisoned earlier.

If there is no such mechanism arrangement, with the ability of the tiger clan, how could it be impossible to find the head of the clan?

Zheng Qian was fortunate to be traveling in the sky under the protection of this organ at this time, and the aura of heaven and earth in his body was slowly and meticulously transforming the domineering energy transferred from the body of the great elder of Humen, bit by bit.

The transformation and integration of domineering is a very difficult process. Everyone's domineering color is different, and the domineering color is closely related to everyone's natal "color". This kind of transformation is equivalent to taking someone else's Life energy is taken and used for oneself.And the level of the great elder is much higher than that of Zheng Qian, so it is even more difficult to absorb such a leapfrog.

Fortunately, there is aura of heaven and earth in Zheng Qian's body, thanks to its help, Zheng Qian can integrate the domineering aura of Humen Great Elder bit by bit; , but the arrogance of the Great Elder running through his bloodline system is an unsolvable problem.

Due to the difficulty of fusion, it will take a lot of time for the aura of heaven and earth to completely absorb the domineering aura of the Great Elder.

The big formation arranged by the Great Elder can only be discovered from the inside out, or by a very powerful master.Now there are basically no masters in Winterfell City, and a group of masters from the Hu family and Duan family have gone to Caishiji. This is the reason why Zheng Qian cannot be found in Winterfell City even though they have sent a large number of people.

But Fengshuang will not wait for Zheng Qian to absorb the domineering spirit of the great elder before attacking.

According to Huliang's information, Fengshuang has already crossed Pinghu.

There is no need to doubt the accuracy of Huliang's information. Judging from the information, none of Fengshuang's 40 people were damaged. The whole army has successfully crossed Pinghu and is rushing towards Winterfell at a rapid march.

For some reason, Caishiji, which was guarded by the patriarchs of the two clans, did not block the elite elite of the imperial capital, which was not explained in Huliang's information.

Duan Feng walked back and forth in Huliang's information center anxiously, having long since lost his usual calmness and security.

"How could it be like this?" Duan Feng was very upset by a series of unfavorable factors.

At this time, Hu Liang also had a sullen face.

"The masters of the two clans didn't come back, it seems that they delayed on purpose." Hu Liang said.

"The elite of the 40 people in the imperial capital will not be damaged. This is an impossible situation. There is something we don't know about it. Hu Liang, I have a feeling." Duan Feng stopped his anxious expression pace.

"You mean Winterfell was abandoned?" Hu Liang also had this feeling for a long time.

Apart from this, he couldn't find the reason why the masters of the two races didn't come back.The masters of the two races must have reached an agreement with Fengshuang.In the content of the agreement, Winterfell is a bargaining chip to be sacrificed.

"Now all hope is tied to the envoy, but he disappeared at this juncture. It seems that Winterfell is doomed." Duan Feng said pessimistically.

"Not only Winterfell, Fengshuang also drove millions of refugees to Winterfell like cattle. Originally, Fengshuang attached great importance to the speed of marching. Now, in order to drive the refugees, she even gave up her speed. I don't know why. What kind of conspiracy are you planning?"

"Millions of refugees flock to Winterfell, just to make Winterfell more chaotic. At that time, there will be refugees in front and troops behind. If we say we open the city, Fengshuang will take the opportunity to attack; If we don't open the city gate, these millions of refugees will be driven by Fengshuang as the vanguard of the siege. I believe Fengshuang can do this kind of thing. Her identity determines that her heart is more vicious than ordinary people .” Duan Feng has more knowledge than Hu Liang, so he naturally knows a little more than Hu Liang.

What Hu Liang regrets the most is that he has little information about the snake clan.The snake race is too mysterious, and it is very difficult to obtain information about them.

"Although this is a bit vicious, it is a very effective method. It doesn't matter if we kill it, or don't kill it. No matter whether we kill it or not, Fengshuang will take advantage of the off-the-shelf. Her army is unharmed."

"Yes, this trick is very poisonous. If we kill innocent refugees, we are eternal sinners; but if we don't kill refugees, Winterfell will not be saved, and we are also eternal sinners." Duan Feng sighed.

"Let's go, Grand Duke. We've stayed behind the army for too long. It's time to go outside and have a look." Hu Liang stood up from the pile of 'messy' papers, and walked slowly to Duan Feng's side .

"Why, do you want to go to Dongcheng?" Duan Feng looked at Huliang.

Hu Liang smiled, "I heard that the princess is very busy recently, let's go and have a look, maybe we can help."

Duan Feng agrees.

The moat is a project that Zheng Qian confessed must be completed before he disappeared. Because of this project, the money in the treasury was spent by the princess like running water, without blinking an eye.Duan Feng also had the idea of ​​going there a long time ago, but he couldn't get away because he had to guard the intelligence center.

Under the current situation, no matter how much information there is, it will have little benefit to the battle situation.Intelligence is just the work that should be done before the two armies confront each other, but when the two armies confront each other, it is not who has more intelligence, but who has a sharper gun point and who has more courage.

In front of the 40 people led by Fengshuang, the 10 people commanded by Winterfell City are at an absolute disadvantage.This has not counted the local army coming from the other two roads.

The battle of the local army is not as good as that of the imperial capital army, but the combined strength of the two armies is 60, and the strength of the soldiers is not comparable to that of Winterfell's 10.

Zheng Qian really offended someone who couldn't be offended this time.

The two wise men both sighed secretly.

When Hu Liang went out, he summoned a military academy to lead two tall horses. The two got on the horses and trotted towards Dongcheng.

The old and the young, one regards the practice of domineering as the work of a reckless man; the other has other ambitions, and both of them are frail scholars.Use your brains, fighting is not their strong suit.Therefore, even though they were riding the same tall horses, their speed was slower than the soldiers of the general Huben Regiment or the Snow Wolf Battalion.

"Scholar leading the army, this is unprecedented in history." Hu Liang asked Duan Feng with a smile.

Duan Feng likes formations, and he is recognized as the number one scholar in Winterfell. His reputation of erudition has long spread throughout the streets and alleys of Winterfell. To answer this question, no one in Winterfell really dares to say that he is better than Duan Feng. Feng knew more.

"Since the time when Emperor Grimm ruled the country, he has been implementing the rule of the military, and everything is based on strength. People like us can only do things behind the scenes. How can there be agencies running to the front?" Duan Feng replied road.

"Isn't it now?" Hu Liang asked back.

"The situation is 'forced', the commander in command of the battalion is missing, and a powerful enemy is approaching the city. We can't hide."

"My lord, I've always had a question. I don't know if I should ask it or not?" Hu Liang suddenly changed his subject.

Duan Feng didn't say anything, but stared at Hu Liang for a while.Then he smiled and said, "Why don't you go?"

"Haha, Grand Duke, you are a good general. Why should I leave? Apart from the intelligence center of the Huben Regiment, I haven't found any better place for me to stay."

"To each other. Nowhere can compare to the land under my feet, so I won't go."
