Talking about ancient and modern times, I took a look at Tiangangmen, a complex of buildings that looked like a city within a city, and asked, "How about a clearing out?"
"Tiangang Gate occupies a huge area. It would have taken a lot of time for us to clean up all the supplies in Tiangang Gate. But when we entered Tiangang Gate, we found that many supplies had already been cleared away..."
"Lin."
Tao from ancient times to modern times.
The Lin family occupied Yuanhua City. Although they had just captured it, they had already counted the various trophies.
"Yes, we are almost sitting back and enjoying the benefits."
Speaking of this, there was uncontrollable surprise in Nian Wuhu's tone: "Yuanhua City is larger than Lingxiao City, and it also has an iron mine. The average income is higher than Lingxiao City. The gold and silver in Tiangang Sect alone are no less than
Six million taels, if you include those resources and treasures, the total harvest will be more than fifteen million taels."
"good."
Tao from ancient times to modern times.
To fight a war is to fight for money.
A cannon fires a thousand taels of gold.
During this period, the two military workshops were operating at full speed, and various resources were continuously transferred in. Every bullet converted was money.
In addition, since ancient times, new troops have been recruited, and the Gu family has trained elites. The Qiu Shan project is also an expense. All in all, the gains from the destruction of the three major families have been consumed by 7788.
These more than 10 million taels of resources came at just the right time.
"I have asked Gu Chifeng to lead people to join the Gu family. When they return, they will plunder Linfeng City. Apart from valuables, you can discuss with the family how to distribute these resources."
Ancient and modern people said: "However, all the craftsmen have to be brought to Lingxiao City and the two military workshops. Qiushan requires a large number of personnel to be supplemented. Only when the scale of the military workshop is large enough can we ensure sufficient combat power."
At this time, he was already considering whether to produce some basic firearms.
Firearms craftsmanship is not complicated.
What is more complicated is bullet production.
If the soldiers can be equipped with rifles, even if the recruits have been trained for several months, their combat effectiveness will not be inferior to that of the elite.
"Gunpowder is a problem. The current industrial level of black powder refining in military workshops has reached its limit. Smokeless gunpowder can only be produced by me...and I don't have that much free time to produce a large amount of gunpowder for ordinary soldiers to use."
Before his military workshop developed smokeless gunpowder technology, firearms could not be widely equipped.
"With the finished product here, it is only a matter of time before the relevant technology trees are pointed out. I just need to wait patiently."
…
Although the Xingzhou State Lord's control over Xingzhou is not 100%, the twenty-six cities are still nominally respected by the State Lord's Mansion.
As the right arm of the state government, the Meteor Guard has an extremely complete intelligence system in Xingzhou.
Zhang Lu, Su Bielie's Meteor Star Guards, and the Tiangangmen allied forces defeated Beishan. In less than a day, the news spread to the Meteor Star Guards at an extremely fast speed.
After many verifications, the next morning, the star patrol envoy Tang Qing hurried to Su Wen's study.
"Minister, there is news from the Meteor Guard..."
Tang Qing looked solemn.
Looking at his expression, Su Wen had already guessed something.
"impossible!"
He shouted: "Where!?"
Tang Qing quickly handed over the information.
Looking at this information, Su Wen still had a look of disbelief in his eyes, even though he was the head of the Star Patrol Department and one of the three giants in the Meteor Guard after Star Master Xin Tianqi.
"Serial muskets!? Ten serial muskets that can shoot a large number of hidden metal weapons in a very short time defeated them!?"
Su Wen let out a roar: "Are these people all trash!?"
Musket!
they have!
Guns have been available in Daqian for a long time.
This is because the musket not only fires slowly, but is also greatly affected by environmental factors, and its power is not worth mentioning.
Not to mention breaking the protective Qi of Qi refining masters, elite soldiers wearing iron armor can launch a charge as if their muskets were nothing.
Even if the serial musket mentioned in the intelligence fires extremely fast, so what!?
"Minister, you have been a heavenly master from ancient times to the present. The power of the muskets refined by the heavenly masters cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes! According to the people below who have verified from the survivors, even the masters of holding pills are continuously hit by the muskets in their hands. Still can’t escape death.”
Tang Qing said with a slight pause in his tone: "Supreme Su Bieli rushed too fast and was hit by a large number of muskets, so he died before the battle."
"What about Su Fangzheng? Where's Zhang Lu?"
"Su Fang was killed by Gu Jinlai and his disciple Su Nanxing."
Tang Qingdao: "According to the survivors, his disciple Su Nanxing had broken through the refining of gods. At that time, the leader of the Su clan carried a musket and concentrated the fire, and rushed in front of Gu Jinlai. Just when he was about to burst out with a powerful sword and kill Gu Jinlai, Su Nanxing Nan Xing suddenly made a move and caught him off guard. As a result, he made a mistake and lost everything. As for Zhang Lu..."
He paused: "Although no one saw it with his own eyes, he...should have been killed head-on by Gu Jin."
"Front-on kill."
Su Wen knew Zhang Lu's strength more or less.
Among the real people of Lian Shen, they definitely belong to the top group of beings.
He climbed from a meteorite satellite to the throne of a star commander, and he has gone through hundreds of battles, and he has been able to kill him in ancient and modern times...
It not only surprised him, but also felt it was reasonable.
"It seems that he has turned all the secrets of the Scarlet Blood Sect and the demons who cooperated with the Scarlet Blood Sect into training resources."
A gleam flashed in Su Wen's eyes.
As the head of the inspection department, he knows much more than others.
Even though the Scarlet Blood Sect cooperated with demons, and the shadow of Second Young Master Qi Fenglei existed inside, he had heard about it.
It's just that there is no evidence and it is kept secret.
"Throughout the ages, he has been a demon warrior. If he obtains a large amount of demon blood, his strength will naturally skyrocket. If not, he would not have grown to this extent."
Su Wen slammed the table: "Zhang Lu knew clearly that he was a demon warrior in ancient and modern times, but he still used him a lot, and he didn't say anything but killed Xiaotong! It's not a pity to die!"
Tang Qing carefully considered the words to ask for instructions: "Minister, this matter has caused a big fuss. I'm afraid it will spread throughout Xingzhou soon. If it is not handled properly..."
"Dispose of it!? It has always been necessary to die!"
Su Wen spoke resolutely: "This time, no one can save him!"
There was a cold light in his eyes: "This matter started with me to some extent, and it should be ended by me myself."
"minister!?"
Tang Qing looked at Su in surprise and asked, "You want to take action personally?"
"Throughout the ages, Zhang Lu has been able to kill Zhang Lu head-on. Ordinary God Refiners are no longer his match. Even if we send three or five God Refiners together, he will not be able to defeat him but may escape. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, I will personally come to wield the sword and fight for the world."
Su asked.
After hearing this, Tang Qing slowly let out a breath: "The minister personally took action, and from ancient times to the present... it has become a withered bone in the grave."
"Su Qing."
Su Wen shouted.
Outside the door, a young man with alchemy cultivation walked in: "Master of the family."
"Gu Jinlai is a member of the Star Lord after all. Go and take my token to Minister Cheng Wanli and tell him that I will personally go to Lingxiao City to kill Gu Jinlai."
"yes."
The man named Su Qing took the token, bowed and left.
As soon as he went out, another young man hurriedly came outside.
Seeing Su Wen, Tang Qing hurriedly said: "Minister, patroller, urgent report from the border! Lin Xiao, the deputy leader of the Purgatory Sect, led two thousand elites and two thousand soldiers to launch a surprise attack while Yuanhua City was empty. Yuanhua City fell. .”
"Yuanhua City!?"
"Purgatory Sect!"
Upon hearing the news, Su Wen and Tang Qing's expressions changed at the same time.
Especially Su Wen...
Yuanhua City is his territory.
First, the masters of the Tiangang Sect were killed throughout the ages, and now even the city was lost. For a time, the anger of the director of the Star Patrol Department reached its limit.
"waste!"
Su Wen shouted angrily: "Isn't there still Zhou Que guarding Tiangang Gate? In addition, there are hundreds of masters and thousands of soldiers in the city. How could the city be lost so easily!?"
"Tiangangmen Taizhou Que indeed immediately summoned men and horses to resist... However, before the battle started, flying swords and cold feathers fell from the sky, and General Zhou Taishang was beheaded with a sword. Suddenly... the whole place was in chaos, and the Yuanhua City defenders The army was leaderless, and at the same time, it was carried out carefully and wreaked havoc, and the inside should cooperate with the outside. This led to the destruction of Yuanhua City."
"Han Ling Sword?"
Su Wen, who was burning with anger, was stunned: "The elder of the Purgatory Sect who has transformed into a god, a bird flying over a thousand mountains is like a stone sinking!?"
"yes."
The meteorite guard nodded heavily.
The Purgatory Sect not only has the deputy sect leader Lin Xiao, but also a great monk who transforms into gods.
Zhou Que was killed by flying swords when they met each other. In addition, all the Tiangang Sect masters came out and Yuanhua City was empty. This...
Crimes other than war.
Su Wen couldn't help but calm down.
With the situation deteriorating to this point, it may be difficult to recapture Yuanhua City.
Just when Su Wen looked gloomy and thoughtful, another man wearing guard equipment quickly came from outside: "Minister, urgent report from Yuanhua City! In ancient and modern times, Yuanhua City was attacked by surprise, and the Purgatory Sect was defeated. The Purgatory Sect was in panic. If you run away, Yuanhua City will change its owner!"
"Surprise attack on Yuanhua City and defeat the Purgatory Sect in ancient and modern times?"
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, then waved his sleeves without hesitation: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
He said with a solemn expression: "Shi Chen entered Xingzhou, most likely to kill Gu Jin and clean up the family! Gu Jin's surprise attack on Yuanhua City was basically throwing himself into a trap, sending his own neck to Shi Chen Hanling's sword. He will definitely die, how can he capture Yuanhua City!?"
"This... news has been confirmed by many parties and is accurate."
The newly arrived guard envoy was also a little unbelievable when he said: "According to many experts, when arriving outside Yuanhua City in ancient and modern times, there were indeed flying swords piercing the air, sounding like thunder, and shooting for ten miles. However... There was a roar outside the city, but there was no follow-up. Later, someone said that they saw Shi Shen, the patriarch of the Purgatory Sect, with a pale face and weak breath, and fled in panic. Later, throughout the ages, he climbed onto the wall of Yuanhua City and relied on the power of a series of muskets. Slaughter the Lin family’s elite and defeat the Lin family’s defenders.”
"Shi Chen drew his sword, but his face was pale, his breath was weak, and he ran away in panic?"
Su Wen couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Not only did the stone sink, but the Purgatory Sect Lin Xiao also followed closely behind and fled in a hurry, not daring to engage in battle with Gu Jinlai. The Lin family's two thousand elites and two thousand soldiers suffered heavy losses..."
The guard envoy said with disbelief in his eyes: "In this battle, all the foundation of the Lin family in Lin Fengcheng will probably be destroyed."
Hearing his precise words, Su Wen and Tang Qing looked at each other, dumbfounded for a moment.
"Minister...Minister..."
After a while, Tang Qing said hesitantly: "Lingxiao City...are you still going?"
"I……"
Su Tong's face changed for a while, and then he seemed to have thought of something and shouted: "Hurry! Chase Su Qing back quickly! This matter... will be discussed in the long term!"
