"That's certainly good, but time is tight, and to prevent them from noticing, quality is more important than quantity."

Even with the help of the guild, there might still be manpower pressure in simultaneously attacking twelve shipyards.

"Well, how about we find a way to rescue the people from those seven shipyards first before taking action? I have an idea." A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone looked over and found that it was Huozui Zhongde.

"Are you still there?"

"Of course, I'm waiting to witness something."

306. Planning

It has to be said that Huo Zui Zhongde, a host who came from the big scenes of Silver Arena and Platinum Racing, had no possibility of being stage fright and had strong psychological quality. He participated in this combat meeting very calmly.

Li Ang had just seen him, but there was no need for him to drive this man away or introduce him specially. The people at the Shadow Factory probably mistook him for Li Ang and his group, so they didn't care and even arranged a room of the same specifications for him.

"It's not easy to save people." Locke said with a frown.

"How are you going to rescue the people from the seven shipyards? Forget about sneaking in first." Xiao Mo said.

The reason why everyone planned to coordinate the attack was because after the Empire occupied these twelve shipyards, they were connected to each other to form a whole system.

During the investigation, Leon and Xiao Mo noticed that in addition to the Annihilation Knights who were the main combat force, their researchers and some imperial soldiers were patrolling back and forth and transporting flesh and blood storage tanks.

Therefore, even if their high-end combat forces sneak in to rescue people first, the shipyard covers a large area and it is difficult for them to take care of everything. If they rescue one or two shipyards, they will most likely be discovered by the Empire.

That's why everyone thought it would be best to attack together, and they discussed how to gather manpower to attack together.

The problem now is that even if we call in reinforcements from multiple parties, there will not be enough people to attack at the same time.

When Huozui Zhongde said that there was a way to save people first and concentrate manpower on the five shipyards, many people were willing to listen to his ideas, even Locke, who seemed serious and old-fashioned.

Reed chuckled, "All we have to do is liberate all the shipyards at once."

"Liberate them together? You don't mean sneaking in, but sneaking into them? Doing a good job inside now?" asked an engineer.

"Yes."

"It can't be done."

Locke said solemnly, "We usually choose to hide. A lot of work is done by our people passing information within those major shipyards. But this time it's completely different. To prevent any problems, they've completely shut down all communication between the twelve shipyards and the outside world."

Lurking was originally one of the optional action options, but the Empire may have handed over external affairs to the Soul Apex in order to prevent this situation. The purpose of using the weapon|一厁 was also to prevent complications and only use members of the branch they trusted.

"We've tried lurking before," Neil said.

"There is one matter that is not completely closed."

Huo Zui De pointed at himself and asked: "What did I do before?"

"The jester before the kings of the sands is always guilty," said Andasu.

"It's quite amusing," Dorothy remarked.

"Uh uh, it's so sad to hear you say that about me." Reid clutched his chest.

Alulu said: "You are the host."

"Oh, that's right, Miss Paladin is the most reliable."

"I'm the host of the Platinum Race," said Mouth-Cut Lord. "I've witnessed countless racers, whether they were unscrupulous villains or desperate individuals desperate for the grand prize. They all raced with all their might, unlike those I've seen before."

Everyone present agreed with what he said.

Locke even said, "To say that a major factory halted production to provide full maintenance for a small airship is something only someone who doesn't understand shipbuilding would believe. Even for Kong Yan now, building a decent-sized boat wouldn't be difficult."

"Those racing boats and their drivers are really no good," said Andasu.

When Bai Lang first arrived on the island and saw those people yesterday, she was unable to walk for a while. Li Ang found that she was watching them attentively at first and had some expectations, but later she obviously looked down on those people.

"Anyway, after I got here, I felt that the people organizing this event were half-knowledgeable. They even changed my name to host it, and the rowers were all showboats. So I followed them to see where they were."

"In those seven shipyards?" Li Ang said immediately.

"Exactly."

"Are they also cooperating with the Empire?" Zoe asked with a frown.

"That shouldn't be the case," Leon speculated. "They are all top enthusiasts from all over the place, hired by Soul Apex. They're probably unaware of the situation and are simply here for the money and entertainment. Therefore, Soul Apex only allows them to enter the seven non-core shipyards."

"I remember it clearly said that each shipyard would select one representative," said Zoe.

"The twelve shipyards are doing the same thing under the coercion of the empire. That's just the excuse they give to the outside world." Xiao Mo said.

The young man with animal ears looked at Zhongde with a gaping mouth. "Are you saying that these rowers are the connection between the Empire and the Soul Peak and the outside world? But they won't accept outside maintenance technicians. If you get acquainted with them, I'm afraid the Empire won't let any more people into the shipyard."

"If they're not acquaintances, are they a match?"

Huozui said excitedly.

"They claimed the centerpiece of the celebration here was the airship race. Now we all know it's a cover for building warships. So what are they most afraid of? Of course, that this will be exposed."

Reed said: "You have concerns because your friends and colleagues are caught up in this and you want to rescue them safely. If you don't care about these things and directly expose the imperial conspiracy, they will be the ones to be afraid of.

Li Ang said, "I understand what you mean. They don't know we're in control now. From their perspective, any leak of information would be frightening, so you want to use this to get them to proactively recruit our people."

"Yes, the captain understands."

"So, I know what you want to do."

"hey-hey."

"An." Leon looked at the girl with animal ears who was listening attentively to everyone's conversation.

"Ok?"

"Inspect and maintain the Wolf Run, and prepare for attack."

"Eh?"

Not only White Wolf but also the girls beside him raised questions.

Of course, Xiao Mo and Shadow Factory also need his explanation.

"The twelve competitors 'selected' by these twelve shipyards are attracting the attention of the entire Naval Capital. Through their publicity, I've even heard passersby who haven't watched airship racing before think these are the twelve strongest racers in the world."

Li Ang thought of the enthusiasm of the people on the way here yesterday, and Andasu looked at those people with a look of disapproval and a hint of dissatisfaction.

It has only been a short time since Andasu left the Glittering Fields to embrace a different destiny. It can be said that her entire life has been accompanied by the sport of airship racing.

Although that was an event for the amusement of the Sand Kings led by King Platinum, it was also the moment that could truly make her soul burn. In other words, speed and life-and-death moments were the most exciting moments for this female wolf. It was because she could do it that she stood in that position.

Compared to the hyped-up guys in the Rudder City, the Aces galloping across the Platinum Fields are completely incomparable.

Li Ang laughed and said, "If a thirteenth contestant who wasn't one of the twelve appeared in front of the already misled public, and she easily crushed that group, what would everyone think?"

"Wow," Dorothy said with a smile, "I just know a lot of people are going to be upset."

"I see. In this case, the Empire and the five shipyards will be anxious. The twelve aces they built were defeated by a passerby. Everyone who knows about this will doubt them, and they will worry that their conspiracy will be exposed." Locke nodded.

Leon continued, "Besides, 'a passing super racer' is a good excuse. This situation seems like a coincidence and is unlikely to arouse the Empire's suspicion."

"Why? Won't they think that the appearance of your group members was premeditated?" Xiao Mo asked.

"When Ramsay does something, he must have done his research beforehand. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find twelve decent guys elsewhere and scare so many people. He must have even sent people to the Shimmerfields."

But a big event happened in the Flashing Fields. Because of the demon incident, the information there was modified by the guild. Soul Apex would not know what happened to Leon there, and might not even be able to find out the specific process of the Platinum Race and Silver Fight.

Leon skipped over the demon and said, "Due to the guild's expectations, he could only find out that the racers, especially the most powerful Platinum Ace, had left."

Xiao Mo slammed his palm and said, "So you just want your team members to defeat them, right? That's interesting. Seeing how confident you are, I don't doubt that you can win. So what happens next?"

"The options are either for someone at the pinnacle of souls to come and silence her, or for her to be bribed. I think the latter is more likely, because this competition is under the watchful eyes of the public. Everyone from the Rudder City who came for the ceremony is watching. Not to mention that they wouldn't be able to successfully silence her, even if they thought they could, they wouldn't be able to handle the aftermath."

A racer who suddenly appeared killed the twelve aces invited to the celebration. If this person disappeared from the scene, it would be a devastating blow to the celebration.

"They will come...to recruit us, right?"

Xiao Mo also thought of it.

"Right," Broken Mouth continued with a laugh. "They'll try to bribe Platinum Ace and then claim it's the surprise thirteenth contestant. They'll claim the previous matches were just exhibition matches and their results won't count. While they might not agree with what I said, I've seen this kind of operation many times."

"It's a little scary that you know all this. I'll have to be more careful next time," said Dorothy.

"Oh, don't say that. I can't help myself. Actually, you don't understand. Watching people like Platinum King do evil is actually better than when I was a reporter. Forget it, they are all bad things. There's no need to compare."

In short, the outline of the plan proposed by Huozui Zhongde has been fully revealed.

With Andasu's help, she was recruited by the shipyard, and then she could naturally enter the factory, and some people could be brought in based on her name.

As long as you have a reasonable internal identity, you can use legitimate reasons to delay the imperial side and buy enough time when rescuing internal personnel one by one.

After several rounds of discussion, everyone had no major objections to the plan and added a lot of details.

The actions for the next few days have also been decided.

Xiao Mo contacted the Sky Knight Guild in the Helm City and asked them to seek cooperation from the Order Flower Sword Corps from the perspective of the Heavenly Corps, and then went to meet the few elite members of the Flower Sword Corps.

The Star Flower Brigade prepared the Wolf Run with the help of Shadow Factory, and the local bosses provided the rowers with training routes and prepared specific plans.

The combat meeting lasted until late at night, and this series of matters were finalized.

Everyone was full of fighting spirit, but Li Ang found that Andasu didn't seem particularly excited.

It was a tiring day and everyone took a rest. The next morning, Leon took the Wolf out of the dimensional rift, had Andasu inspect it, and drove it to the maintenance site provided by the Shadow Factory.

This matter was also handed over to Neil, but he ran over and asked the Star Flower Brigade to go to the dock where their own airship was built.

"Captain Li Ang, there's something unexpected going on. We need you to come to the dock first."

Neil took the lead after he finished speaking. As he was busy with the preparation of the Wolf Run, he was always racing against time and his work attitude was more enthusiastic than that of other factory members.

"Ah? Is there something wrong with our ship?" Zoe was a little anxious.

The girls were all anxious and pushed Li Ang forward.

But Neil didn't seem panicked, and Leon wasn't too worried either.

After walking a distance and getting closer to Neil, he noticed the girls' anxiety and said with a smile, "It's not a bad thing, it's a very good thing. You can't imagine how smoothly the progress is!"

After he said that, the curious girls became more active and almost pushed Li Ang to run.

When they arrived under the ship, You Ling Menglu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Many branches have grown on the bottom of the ship, which has already taken shape, and some mechanical equipment nearby is slowly cutting down these branches.

“Will our ship turn into a forest? That would be very special,” asked Dorothy.

"That's not the case," Leon said, "these branches must be cut off as well."

"Indeed, you can't build a boat like this. I have to say that the wood you found is really unheard of," said Neil.

"What if we cut off the branches? What does that have to do with the speed of progress?" Alulu asked, leaning her head over the edge of the slipway.

"Come and see."

Neil jumped off the slipway and came to some spliced wooden boards.

His focus wasn't on the branches, but on the joints between the wood.

"They're closed and grown together," said Li Ang.

"That's right!" Neil said excitedly. "Originally, thanks to the machinery of pre-civilizations, shipbuilding in the Rudder City was much more efficient than in the outside world. However, it still suffered from the need for secure splicing of the ship's materials. Putting the materials together was easy, but securing the connection was the real culprit that wasted time."

His explanation made the girls nod, and they seemed to realize what he wanted to say.

“Although we had to re-cut the branches every day, it was nothing compared to the time it took to securely join the materials together.”

Neil spread his arms. "After your boat is formed and connected to each other, it will be like a whole full of vitality. I have never seen such a wooden boat before. I can't imagine it. I am very much looking forward to seeing it come into being!"

After the young engineer finished speaking, everyone in the Star Flower Brigade was in a good mood, even Leon.

Even if I had expected this kind of thing before, I still felt different when I heard the praise from an expert.

After asking a few more questions, Neil explained in detail that their ships could be built much faster than usual, and the construction time could even be reduced to days.

"How many days is that? Three days is okay?" Zoe asked impatiently.

Li Ang flicked her forehead: "How is that possible?"

"About ten days, right? It's mainly just a matter of putting the materials together. Combined with the machinery from the previous civilization, the efficiency is really high."

Neil looked up at the robotic arm on the slipway, which was no less automated than the shipbuilding industry on Earth.

He smiled and said, "As for the remaining time, it depends on how long the outfitting takes according to your needs."

"Got it, thank you."

"No, let's take care of the small airship next."
