Chapter 327: Counter Soldiers with Arms

“City Lord, the demons have already gathered an army and are stationed on the other side of the river. They can cross the river at any time.”

In the meeting hall of Sea City.

“What are we going to do?”

“We just repelled a wave of demons, and now there’s a new wave. Why are these demons endless like ants?”

“It’s over, it’s over. We barely managed to expel the demons last time. Now, there’s such a huge wave. What should we do?”

They all turned their gazes to Ye Qiluo.

“City Lord, I wonder where the senior who attacked last time is. If we can get Senior to attack again, I’m afraid we can easily survive, right?”

“That’s true. We still can’t fight against the demons with our current strength. In my opinion, we should wait for Senior to make a move. As long as Senior makes a move, those demons will naturally surrender. We don’t have to spend too much effort here.”

After a long discussion, these so-called high-level generals only came up with this method.

That was to wait for the legendary Sword Immortal to stand up and save them again.

Ye Qiluo stared expressionlessly at the battle report in front of her, as if she had fallen asleep sitting there. There was no movement for a long time, and no one knew what she was doing.

The generals below had already said a lot, but the City Lord still did not move or reply. She just sat there in a daze and looked like she had fallen asleep.

The generals below were very hesitant and did not know what to say. Did the City Lord hear that? If the City Lord could not invite the Sword Immortal over, what should they do? Could it be that they were guarding here? That would be meaningless.

“City Lord?”

“City Lord…”

Ye Qiluo suddenly looked up at them. “What’s wrong?”

This gaze seemed to have become even more determined and calm than before. It was as if she had become a completely different person. She was completely different from the previous Ye Qiluo. Previously, Ye Qiluo was always very flustered, but now, she did not seem to have that childish temperament.

“We were just talking about the Sword Immortal. Does the City Lord have any clues?”

Ye Qiluo coughed lightly and said, “Let’s not talk about the Sword Immortal for now. The most important thing now is to strengthen the defense system of our entire Sea City. After the last battle, the internal defense array formation hasn’t been damaged much. It’s still functioning normally. We just need to transfer a certain number of spirit stones to strengthen it.”

“The defensive fortress outside has been severely damaged. It’s basically completely destroyed. We still have to send more people to build a new fortress as soon as possible. However, we have to pull the fortress back this time.”

Ye Qiluo’s arrangements were done very neatly. The generals below looked very interested.

“The City Lord is right. The most important thing now is to strengthen the fortress. The strength of the fortress in the past was too low. Although it costs a lot of materials, it’s still a little lacking compared to those huge demon armies. This time, we should strengthen it by fifty percent.”

The person who spoke was the commander of the military supplies department. This person was very good at calculations. He was a talent that Ye Qiluo had personally chosen from Ping City.

This fellow was quite famous in Ping City. He had escaped from the wilderness and did not have any resources on hand. After he arrived in Ping City, he relied on his ability to make a name for himself.

He was also a very famous manager. It could be said that this person’s reputation was second only to Zhao Tai’an.

However, everyone knew that Li Yuanqing, such a very powerful boss, was standing behind Zhao Tai’an.

Although not everyone knew about Li Yuanqing’s deeds, everyone knew in their hearts that the person behind Zhao Tai’an was not an ordinary boss. No one dared to provoke him since he could expand his business to the largest in Ping City. This was a deterrence.

The commander of the military supplies department was called Liu Ming. Because Sea City was in a completely new state, they needed such a meticulous officer. Liu Ming also had a powerful strength. It was an impressive ability for him to be able to build Sea City to such a complete defense facility in this state.

Generally speaking, Ye Qiluo rarely refuted Liu Ming’s words. However, this time, Ye Qiluo had made a huge change to Liu Ming’s plan.

“The strength of the fortress ahead is still too low. While there’s still some time, try your best to increase the strength of the fortress. It’s best if you can set up enough array formations. I have a set of array formations here that the State Preceptor set up. Use this array formation as the foundation to build the next fortress.”

Ye Qiluo took out a jade pendant. Liu Ming took the jade pendant and pasted it on his head. He took a casual look and could not help but gasp.

“City Lord, although this looks like a very perfect plan, I’m afraid it will take a lot of materials to set it up.”

“How much will it cost?”

“I’m just taking a simple look. I’m afraid it’ll have to be tripled in the original cost…”

“Ah, twice as much?”

“The fortress might not be able to defend against them even with such a huge increase. We might as well use those materials to strengthen Sea City’s defense.”

“That’s right. Why spend these materials there for no reason? It’s so far from Sea City. If the fortress was breached, won’t these materials be given away for no reason? It’s useless.”

“I think this thing is indeed not worth it. City Lord, why don’t we forget it? Instead of spending so much money to build such a thing, I think we should think of another way.”

When the generals below heard the cost, they could not sit still anymore. It was already very risky to build a fortress outside. Everyone had seen what happened to the fortress last time.

Instead of spending so much materials to build a fortress that could not defend a place at all, it was better to use these expensive materials to strengthen the defense of Sea City. They could also hide here. The money would definitely be wasted outside and the demons would take advantage of the situation. At that time, they would be like turtles in a jar.

The argument below became more and more intense. They were all against spending so much materials to build the fortress. Double the cost was definitely not a small cost.

However, all the arguments slowly calmed down under Ye Qiluo’s gaze.

Although they did not know where the City Lord got her confidence from, she was indeed much more confident than before. She was really a completely different City Lord now.

They looked at Ye Qiluo carefully. No one dared to speak loudly anymore. After all, Ye Qiluo had obtained some opportunities and her cultivation had increased again.

Ye Qiluo seemed to be very satisfied with their reaction. She nodded slightly and slowly scanned them.

“Everyone, don’t worry about the materials. I’ll settle it. It won’t come out of the warehouse. As for the overall strengthening plan for the main city area, it’s still with the State Preceptor. I haven’t brought it over yet. I’ll start work immediately after the State Preceptor comes up with the plan. I won’t delay it. Everyone, you can rest assured now.”

“I wonder where the City Lord got these materials?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I have my ways.”

Ye Qiluo rarely spoke like this. She was usually a reasonable person and would try her best to answer any questions from the people below. However, she spoke more decisively today and did not leave any room for rebuttal.

Originally, there were still many people who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble. However, after hearing Ye Qiluo’s words, they could not muster any courage to jump out and cause trouble. They only sit there and not say anything.

Ye Qiluo glanced around again and asked one last time, “No one has any objections to the construction of the fortress, right?”

The general said respectfully, “Of course not. Since the City Lord has already completely resolved it, what objections do we have?”

“Alright, I’ve hired a few weapon refinement masters from Ping City. They arrived yesterday. They will help you refine artifacts according to the needs of each of your troops. Go and contact them today. Remember, they are all distinguished guests. You can’t neglect them.”

“There’s such a thing.”

“City Lord, do you mean to help the soldiers below refine Dharma artifacts?”

“How can that do? It will definitely be fine as long as every unit refines a few special weapons. How can everyone get one in time? Time is too tight.”

“That’s true. Time is indeed a little tight. It’s naturally best if there’s some improvement now. Everyone didn’t do much last time. We have to make more preparations now.”

After they finished discussing, Ye Qiluo said to them, “I’ve already instructed them. They will help every soldier refine a Dharma artifact. Although they’re all low-level Dharma artifacts, it’s enough to replace the weapons in their hands.”

“City Lord, are you serious?”

“There are indeed many soldiers below that didn’t even have a decent Dharma artifact. If they can have a suitable weapon, their strength will increase by thirty to forty percent.”

“This is good. Let’s fight those demons well. We don’t have to be afraid of them this time. Let’s see how they dare to be arrogant.”

Ye Qiluo ended the morning meeting after making simple arrangements.

The design plan for the fortress was personally done by Li Yuanqing. The materials were also acquired by Li Yuanqing. Although Ye Qiluo wanted to thank him, Li Yuanqing’s help was far from something that could be resolved with a thank you.

Ye Qiluo could only remember this favor in her heart. As for how to repay it, she was afraid that she would never be able to repay it in this lifetime.

Ye Qiluo returned to her residence and was about to report to Li Yuanqing, but Li Yuanqing had already disappeared. Before she left, Li Yuanqing had said that he would wait for Ye Qiluo to return and that he still had something to say. However, he had disappeared. He should have something to do.

At this moment, Li Yuanqing was standing at the foot of a wall outside Sea City and staring at a burly white-haired man in front of him.

This guy’s eyebrows were like scars that were stuck on his fierce eyes. He kept looking around as if he was looking for his enemy.

However, he did not find his enemy in the end. It was just that his eyes seemed to be able to shoot out two golden lights, scaring the people beside him away.

“He’s crazy.”

“What is this guy doing here? Should we report it to the city defense team?”

“Forget it. There are always some stupid people. Don’t trouble the city defense team for everything. The city defense team has been building fortifications for the past few days and are very tired. Just stay away from him.”

As the two of them spoke, they walked around the burly man. They did not want to cause any trouble here.

Everyone was actually frightened by this guy and hid far away. They did not dare to look at this person directly. This person looked fierce and had a ferocious expression. He looked like he had a deep grudge. It was unknown who he had a grudge with.

After the fierce-looking man looked around, he muttered, “These humans indeed have ill intentions. They fled far away after I took a few glances at them. All of them have a guilty conscience.”

This guy comforted himself that it was someone else’s problem. He looked around and found a handsome young man standing at the base of the city wall. This young man did not look old, but his temperament was very kind.

It could be seen that this young man seemed to be a very cute person. The people beside him had all run away, but this guy was still here.

The burly man was a little puzzled, so he walked up to Li Yuanqing and glared at him like a hungry wolf.

“Kid, what’s your name?”

Li Yuanqing replied with a smile, “Just call me Little Li. Brother, you should be from outside, right? You look very unfamiliar.”

The burly man was about to answer when he immediately became vigilant. He glared at him and said, “What nonsense are you asking? What does it have to do with you if I came from outside? Kid, speak less. Answer whatever I ask you. Do you understand?”

Li Yuanqing was very cooperative. He nodded and said, “I understand. I wonder what you want to ask. It seems like you have a lot of questions.”

Although this man felt a little strange, as if Li Yuanqing had control over the rhythm of his conversation, he did not reject him. This was because everyone beside him had run away, leaving only this little fellow. If he ran away again, he would definitely not be able to ask anything.

He was unfamiliar with the place. It would take too much brainpower for him to find it himself.

“Since you’re so generous, I won’t stand on ceremony. I wonder if Sea City’s defense is really as powerful as the rumors say.”
