Chapter 771 Strange news and the arrangement of the lord
"Lord, when my subordinates and others accepted the summons, the magic tower had already begun to collapse for some time."
Gray's angular face showed a trace of solemnity, and he said slowly: "Initially, there were just a few satellite towers around the surface tower area, which were inexplicably lost in the void space. Just before the Presbyterian Council started investigating
That's when things started to get more serious."
"Whether it was the outer surface tower area or the inner tower area in the center, apprentices or mentors began to disappear inexplicably at the same time. Then, the towers they were in soon collapsed, and various space magics that maintained the stability of the barrier area
The formations and spells all seem to have lost their intended effect."
"This kind of sudden disappearance and collapse has no rules at all. If you insist on finding an explanation, it would be like a complete giant jigsaw puzzle being roughly picked out from different positions by an invisible big hand.
It’s like a piece fell off.”
There was a bit of uncontrollable trembling in Gray's words as he continued to describe.
"Because the collapse came too strangely and suddenly, the Presbyterian Tower Elders Council and the Rita Elders Council took action at the same time. Even some seniors who had been living in the deep tower for a long time were alarmed and began to leave and take charge, but the situation still did not improve at all.
."
"In this panic situation, in order to avoid more serious losses, after the suggestion of the fifth elder of the Presbyterian Tower Council, we magicians who had entered the inner tower not long ago began to leave the tower, and then
I have been summoned by the lord."
At this point, the faces of Gray and the other two commanders were full of nervousness, and they were obviously still frightened.
"The collapsed magic tower?"
After listening to Gray's description, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
On the side, Chaoyan, Zhuqi, Finley and others, who were all from the Magic Tower, all had expressions of disbelief and began to look at each other in disbelief.
You know, even in the surface tower area where they used to be, the first three seats of the Presbyterian Council were all composed of fifth-level powerhouses!
The strength of the Rita Elders Council is even greater, not to mention those old monsters who live in seclusion in the deep tower!
"Senior Gray, what about the other junior students in the Ciao Tower?"
Zhuqi took a step forward and asked nervously.
"Don't worry, all the junior students in the Ciao Tower have been sent out of the Magic Tower as soon as possible."
Gray slowly took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and responded: "Now in the magic tower, there are only a group of elders and third-level magicians above the tower, still looking for Honkai's
reason."
Lei Xiao couldn't help but fell into deep thought while listening to the conversation between the two.
From Gray's description, it is not difficult to see that the powerful magic tower has obviously undergone extremely serious changes, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an existential crisis.
Moreover, the disorderly collapse and disappearance are indeed difficult to fathom.
"There are two reasons that I can think of at the moment. The first is that it is probably related to the catastrophe, and the second is that the culprit that caused all this is most likely an alien lord."
"Needless to say, the catastrophe caused by the first reason is still in the haze, and it is impossible to figure it out. However, the second reason is not traceable."
"Among the alien lords, many have awakened combat talents, and their growth rate is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. Especially with the upgrade of talents, this speed will further increase."
"The awakened combat talents are also divided into physics and magic. It can be seen that it is not impossible for a space lord with extraordinary talents to appear."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a look of severity on his face, and he turned to look at Jiang Li beside him.
As a space mage, she undoubtedly has the most say in matters that happen in the void space.
"Lord, this matter is indeed quite strange. As far as I know, there are only two situations that will cause the magic circle that maintains the barrier area to fail."
Jiang Li nodded towards Lei Xiao and responded with a frown: "The first is that it was interfered by strong unknown external factors, and the second is that it was destroyed by a more powerful space system expert."
"My subordinates have heard from Sister Chaoyan that the magic tower can maintain the operation of such a large and relatively independent barrier area group. The space system of the magic tower is extremely strong."
Jiang Lei bowed slightly and continued to Lei Xiao: "In this case, we still can't find the cause of the collapse, which shows that the situation is indeed extremely bad."
"Is that true?"
Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, murmuring to himself: "It exactly corresponds to my thoughts. The external factor is a catastrophe. The intervention of strong people can also be matched, but it cannot be ruled out that it is the action of strong indigenous people.
But at this point in time, people are very concerned about it.”
"That's all, at least nothing unusual has happened here yet. In the absence of clues, there is no need to think too deeply for the time being."
"All I need to know is that a more terrifying and mysterious storm is coming, and there is not much time left for me to develop."
Lei Xiao thought of this, and then comforted Gray and others: "Okay, let's put this matter to rest for now. Everything has a cause and effect. Now that things have happened, it is only a matter of time to find the cause. With the strength of the Magic Tower, repairing it should be
It’s not difficult.”
After a pause, Lei Xiao added sternly: "Now this territory is your new home. As long as we work together, we will be as solid as a rock and invincible."
"As you command! Lord!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's sonorous and steady voice, Gray and other subordinates felt much relieved, and they all touched their chests and saluted, excitedly saying.
"Okay, now that we have welcomed so many new colleagues, it's time to rearrange the accommodation issue."
Lei Xiao clapped his hands and started to talk about the next topic.
After that, after some arrangements by Lei Xiao.
The five chefs including Xue Ya, Faxia, A Ling, A Bing, and Rudy, the dragoon team, and the five mercenaries including Bonnie, who originally lived in the surrounding fortress, all moved into the city lord's mansion.
The upgraded second and third floors of the mansion have huge spaces, and each bedroom can easily accommodate ten people. Not to mention Xue Ya and others, even if two squadrons can live in it, it is more than enough.
Of course, in order to allow the main subordinates to have a more comfortable space, Lei Xiao still made proper arrangements.
There are ten bedrooms on the second floor, including one for the Dragoon team, one for Rudy and other chefs, one for Xue Ya and A Ling, one for Fa Xia and A Bing, one for Ward, and one for the four maids.
One room is reserved for the ice demon Gals, and the other three rooms are used as independent alchemy rooms for the three alchemists.
There are ten bedrooms on the third floor, namely one for Nanxing and Nanyue, one for Chaoyan, Baiwei, Lina and Bonnie, one for Erza and Xiaoya, one for Gracilaria, Polygonum cuspidatum, Ye Cang, Ariel, Orange Bai, and Bo
Special, one room each with the other four mercenaries.
The vast space beneath the lord's mansion was stationed by the heavily armored guard squadron led by Rogge. According to Lei Xiao's previous arrangements, they were responsible for the defense of the lord's mansion, including the four arrow towers.
The reason why Lei Xiao put the heavy infantry who were good at close combat in charge of the arrow tower was just to show the majesty of the lord. The symbolic significance was far greater than the actual significance.
After all, there are many powerful people in the lord's mansion, and the surrounding city walls and detection barriers are also extremely complete. In addition to the large army pressing down on the territory, there is no need to worry about encountering other changes.
In addition, although the basement is empty, the bathroom facilities on the first floor of the mansion are complete and sufficient to meet the daily needs of the Heavy Guards Squadron.
After arranging everything in the mansion, Lei Xiao began to arrange accommodation in the territory.
Since the two shadow squadrons were scattered all over the place, and Xue Ya and others moved into the lord's mansion, a lot of space was left for some new subordinates to move in.
"There are 50 fortresses that make up the territory's city wall. Each of them can accommodate 50 soldiers. In addition to the 4 used as warehouses, it can also accommodate 2,300 people."
"Then on the original basis, let the first and second battalions be stationed. The remaining 300 people will be stationed by the logistics squadron and two third-level mobile squadrons respectively."
"As for the third brigade commanded by Frank and the three independent magician squadrons commanded by Gray, they are stationed outside the territory according to the predetermined plan as the first step in building a city."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately implemented it.
The subordinates took the order and began to take action.
Lei Xiao came to the outskirts of the territory and began to build a new camp for Frank and others.
"When the mansion is upgraded to level 8, a building blueprint called "Guardian Barracks" will appear in the manufacturing interface."
"This is a large-scale building with a stone structure as the main structure and a wooden structure as a supplement. It also has an additional basement. It can easily accommodate a squadron of soldiers to live and live. Moreover, the beds and other furniture are complete, so there is no need to manufacture them separately.
"
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, his heart moved slightly, and a stack of architectural blueprints appeared on his palm.
When he thought about expanding the mansion, Lei Xiao had already prepared these architectural blueprints.
"Then build 15 towers around the territory first, which can accommodate 1,300 people including Frank and Gray, as well as the two third-level squadrons that will be summoned later."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao nodded to Hu Zhi, who was holding the wooden storage box behind him, and signaled Hu Zhi to put the wooden box down and start taking out the corresponding resources.
Although each barracks requires a lot of resources, for Lei Xiao, it is no different from drizzle.
Not long after, with a wave of Lei Xiao's big hand, fifteen towering new buildings "rumbled" up from the ground. The scene was quite spectacular.
"Okay, Frank, Gray, let's lead the team in to clean up first. Just go back to Rogge and he will arrange the next steps for you."
Lei Xiao smiled at the two stunned commanders and walked towards the territory.
Returning to the territory, Lei Xiao motioned to Hu Zhi holding the storage box to continue following him, while calling out the old housekeepers Ward, Rogge and Bai Zhi, and began to store various potions and potions in the territory's warehouse.
Magic scrolls and other items.
With Lei Xiao's current reserves, it would be extremely easy to equip nearly four brigades of elite soldiers in the territory.
As for the subsequent deployment matters, it can be arranged by several commanders in the territory.
During this process, Lei Xiao also replenished 300 third-level storage rings and 2,000 Qi Condensing Pills. After all, the three directly affiliated squadrons that had been stationed in Kongqing Town did not have enough storage rings to distribute.
Not all of them have reached the second level peak.
These items are enough for the logistics squadron, Bonnie and others, as well as all the territory subordinates, including Frank and other new subordinates, to reach the second peak level, all equipped with storage rings, and still have some spares.
After completing all this, Lei Xiao distributed higher-level magic scrolls and potions to the main subordinates, and then gathered some of the main subordinates in front of the gate of the lord's mansion.
Next, it is naturally time to let the ice demon Garth see the light of day again. This is undoubtedly a key link in increasing the strength of the territory.
Because the future was bright and the territory needed strong people to take charge, Lei Xiao only brought eight people in total: Gracilaria, Polygonum stipes, Hong Ye, Erza, Ye Cang, Ariel, Xue Ya, and Fa Xia.
In addition, Lei Xiao also called on two newly promoted fourth-level half-elf forest priests, Al and Lanke, and asked Jiang Lei to temporarily take back Ju Bai.
Together with Ye Cang and Fa Xia, who was also good at healing, they formed a treatment team consisting of five fourth-level experts as a guarantee.
As for Lian, Chaoyan, Lina and others, they are stationed in the territory to prepare for emergencies.
Of course, Chaoyan also has another mission, which is to repair the ancient magic cannons obtained from the Eternal Ship.
Lina, on the other hand, went to summon the army of undead beasts. After all, the previous army of undead beasts had been almost exhausted in the territorial offensive and defensive battles.
Moreover, after obtaining a full set of fifth-level equipment and the Eyes of the Night Demon, this girl's undead control power has greatly increased, and she is enough to summon two brigades of undead beasts.
"Okay, Gracilaria, it's time to go."
When the subordinates gathered around him, Lei Xiao nodded to the half-elf mage.
"As you command, Lord."
Jiang Lei smiled, and a soft wave of space system energy rippled out.
With a flash of gray-white light, when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he found that he had arrived in the quaint castle hall of Fenglong City.
"I have to say that the transmission network is extremely convenient and saves a lot of traveling time."
Lei Xiao just thought of this.
Tran, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "I see you, Lord!"
"Lord Tran, there is no need to be polite. Just follow the plan and go directly to the depths of the Songyin Mountains."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly to Xue Ya's father, the city lord, waved his hand and said: "Let's go."
After being teleported all the way by Jiang Lei, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to go deep into the Songyin Mountains and arrive at the ice cave that exuded the coldest ice.
The group of people had just entered the secret room of the ice cave that they had not seen for a long time, and Garth's hearty laughter rang out: "Haha, young sir, I haven't seen you for a long time. Could it be that this girl Xue Ya has caused some trouble, or is there something going on?
Do you need to ask me?"
"No, Senior Gars."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said shockingly: "We are here to take you home."
