Cthulhu

Chapter 425 The Common Home

Don't chase the poor, it's all bullshit. In the face of an enemy who has no resistance at all, killing them all is the kingly way. You must give Tunyun a small warning.

Knowing the general situation, Cheng Cheng finally asked, "Where's the city lord?"

"On the battlefield ahead."

After finding Marylou, Cheng Sheng went straight to find it. The battlefield was completely blocked, and Marylou was directing the army to clean up the battlefield.Now that she has become the lord of the Jade Girl City, she is obliged to let the people in the city live and work in peace and contentment. Naturally, such a large-scale massacre cannot let the residents of the city know the inside story, which will cause panic.

"Lulu, just leave these things to Yan Dong. What are you doing on the battlefield? What if something happens?" Once he found Marylou, Cheng Cheng asked reproachfully.

"There are so many people protecting me, I'll be fine." With a smile on his face, he shook his head slightly and said.

"In the future, just leave it to Yan Dong, don't worry about it anymore." He gave him a hard look, and said angrily.

"No, I don't want to be a vase. This is the job of being a city lord, unless you don't let me be a city lord." She shook her head firmly and said.

"I'm really afraid of you, even if you want to take care of it in the future, you have to protect Yan Dong at any time, you know?" Is there no Marylou in the jade girl city?Of course it couldn't, so Cheng Sheng had no choice but to compromise and settle for the next best thing.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Then he nodded and said with a smile.

"Are there any casualties?"

Her expression became calm all of a sudden, and Marylou frowned tightly, and said in a heavy tone: "Come out, more than 600 people died, more than [-] from the Xintian Division, more than [-] from the Haotian Division, and the rest It is the monster army of the Xuantian Department, with heavy casualties."

Just now I only know that the number of deaths has exceeded one thousand, but I didn’t expect it to be close to two thousand. Even if we wiped out all the dead soldiers who invaded the Cloud Swallowing Sect, it would still hurt the enemy by one thousand and eight hundred. This kind of war is too cruel, and the city of jade girl Can't afford it.

"The situation in the world is changing day by day, and it seems that we need to speed up the pace of city defense construction. Only when the city defense is built well can it withstand the attacks of various residences, so that the jade city can win the greatest victory with the least consumption." Seeing the attack of the Swallowing Cloud Sect, Cheng Cheng took the construction of the city defense more seriously, and it had to be the number one priority.

How can an army of 10 people withstand consumption when thousands of people die at a time?Besides, how high is the power of the Cloud Swallowing Cult?No one knows about this, but daring to contend with Jiaoyan shows that the power possessed by Tunyunjiao is beyond the imagination of the major forces.

"That's right, such a war of attrition cannot be fought." Marylou felt the same way.

"By the way, what is the state of the city's defense construction now?" As he said that, he also looked up and looked outside the city of Yunv. The scene caught his eye made Cheng Cheng find Wei Si'an, and he saw the octagonal iron wall, five sides of which had been completed. wall.

"The city defense construction designed by the patriarch Ruweis actually took a lot of laziness. Although the project is large, it is done quickly. After the surrounding mountains are blasted, they are all natural barriers, saving a lot of engineering, so the construction It's not as difficult as imagined. In less than half a year, the construction of the city defense should be completely completed." Marylou was full of confidence, with a large number of people and great strength. After the troops of the Heroes Association and the men of Jade City devoted themselves to the construction of the city defense, Every day can bring surprises.

Originally thought to be the huge project of Yugong Yishan, it was impossible to complete, but now I don't think it is so difficult. This is the profound explanation of the word "Unity of will".

"It still doesn't work. From tomorrow onwards, the mining work will be postponed. All the labor force that can be squeezed out of the city will be devoted to the construction of the city defense. We will shorten half a year to two months. The Swallowing Cloud Sect is very ambitious. They are occupied, and it will be a matter of time before they come to the Douwu Empire. There is not so much time to wait, and the construction of the city defense will be completed in two months. This is a death order.” Although the speed of construction is already faster than expected, but Cheng Cheng is still not satisfied, and he must do his best to make the common home of the Jade Maiden City as solid as gold.

"Okay, after I go back, I will start to do it immediately, and put the construction of the city defense at the top priority. It must be completed within two months." It is rare to receive orders from Cheng Cheng, and this time it is a death order. Marylou didn't dare to slack off, because she could see the danger from guessing.

"Well, speed up, but the quality can't be reduced. We must do a good job in this area. Since it needs to be repaired, the city defense must be repaired, so that the jade city is as solid as gold." The city defense of the jade city is completely an iron bucket. Well, the safety of the residents in the city is also guaranteed.At least compared to other cities, it can be regarded as impenetrable. If you want to attack the Heroes Association, just such an iron wall is enough to attack.

"This is of course. From the beginning of the construction, I put the quality of the city defense construction in the first place. Now that most of the construction is completed, I will definitely not lose the chain at this time."

The two patrolled around the battlefield, and when Shi Ao and others came back, there were also Bai Yufeng, Yan Dong, Lu Shan, Stallone and members of the Death Blades.Even Liu Sishi, Nangong Yuling, and Catherine joined the hunting team, and the results they brought back were obvious. None of the [-] Tunyun Sect dead soldiers who came here could escape after their all-out pursuit. Take off, the whole army is wiped out.

Such a strong lineup went after him, and the result was completely predictable.

"Okay, let's go back to the city first." After understanding the battle situation clearly, he handed over the burial of the dead soldiers to Yan Dong, and led everyone back to the city lord's mansion.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Mary Lou rushed to the mines in the city without stopping, and asked the two brothers Yan Bei and Yan Nan to suspend the mining of the mines, and allocated most of the labor force to devote themselves to the construction of the city defense. At the same time, they continued to recruit workers in the city. Strive to squeeze out all the strong laborers in the city.

She knew in her heart that doing so would cause the economy of Jade City, which was finally resurrected, to stagnate again. However, the current situation must be clearly distinguished. After the construction of the city defense is completed, the economy can be developed slowly, as Cheng Cheng ordered. The death order must be completed within two months.

Back at the city lord's mansion, seeing that his parents were still entertaining members of the dwarves, and the relationship seemed to be quite harmonious, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but secretly gave his mother a thumbs up.Mom and Dad are very good at dealing with people and have helped him a lot.

The whole family of the dwarves moved into the Jade Maiden City. The most urgent task is to find a place for them to settle down in the Jade Maiden City.So just after returning to the city for a while, Cheng Cheng took the patriarch of the dwarves and a few elders out, and headed straight for the direction where the elves and goblins lived, planning to settle them in one place, which was also convenient.

"The goblins live in the forest in front. Since the Jade Girl City is still under construction, that forest is temporarily the territory of the elves. If you want to enter, you have to ask for their permission. On the grassland next to it, The place with many mushroom-shaped buildings is the territory of the goblins, they rarely go out, and hide in the house all day to invent and create." With several respected elders and patriarchs of the local dwarves, they came to the west of the city and went out. Standing on a small hill after entering the city, Cheng Cheng pointed to the place ahead and introduced them to them.

"Both goblins and elves live here?" Elder Pang Le's eyes sparkled. For the goblins and elves, who are both peaceful races, they have a sympathetic friendship.

"That's right. After the dwarves settle down, I'll take you to meet them. I think Queen Silk Rhyme and Patriarch Ruwais will be very happy to see you."

"That's good." The elders of the dwarves seemed to be eager to meet the leaders of these two races. No wonder, the population of several races is very small. This kind of friendship crosses the boundary, even if they have never met After passing each other, you can still feel their surging emotions.

"Either the dwarves live next to the goblins. I plan to give the half of the mountain to the dwarves, and then let people build houses for you. In less than two days, everyone should be able to live in a new home. " Pointing to the half of the mountain leaning against the city wall in front, Cheng Cheng suggested.

"No, no, no, the dwarves have to forge every day. There will be a lot of noise when forging iron. The elves like to be quiet. We will definitely disturb them." The patriarch Pang Ke shook his head. At this time, he was also thinking about the elves. , it can be seen that these peaceful races are kind-hearted.

"Yes, why don't we change places? Anyway, we are all in the Jade Maiden City. If we want to meet, we can't walk a few steps, so as not to disturb other people's normal life." Elder Pang Le nodded, not wanting to disturb others.

"Well, this is also a problem, but the mountain is two miles away from the forest of the elves, so it should not interfere with their normal work and rest. Also, I will ask the patriarch Ruwais to design the houses of the dwarves later. , should be able to minimize the noise." Cheng Cheng felt that it would be more convenient for them to settle in the west of the city.

"It's still not right, let's find another place." Patriarch Pang Ke shook his head. For the peaceful race, they would never infringe on any rights of others, but they also felt it was inappropriate to settle the dwarves here.

"Okay then, let's go to the south of the city, which is closer to the west of the city." Cheng Cheng nodded and agreed without any reluctance.
