As soon as Wang Baole spoke, Zhou Lu's breathing stagnated. Obviously, although she expected that Wang Baole would not admit it, she did not expect that the other party would actually call her a beauty.
But this title did not dissipate her anger. She snorted coldly at this moment, but she also knew that it was not time to take revenge, so she glared at Wang Baole. When she looked at Chen Yutong, Zhou Lu stood up and bowed.
"This is Senior Brother Chen Yutong, right? Please give me the jade slip of the mission issued by Piao Miao Taoist Academy." Zhou Lu had to be polite to Chen Yutong, even if she was a member of the military.
On the one hand, it is Chen Yutong's cultivation, and on the other hand, it is also his background. You must know that being a candidate for the deputy head of the Law Armed Pavilion is already an extremely high status outside.
Chen Yutong also suppressed his inner thoughts at this moment and stepped forward to give the jade slip. Even though the other party was not as good as himself, he was still polite. This made Zhou Lu have a good impression of Chen Yutong.
In particular, Chen Yutong's elegant appearance, such status, and such cultivation have made many female disciples in the upper island of Piao Miao Taoist Academy admire him. Unfortunately, he has always been alone and has not had any relationships with any female disciples.
Soon, with the cooperation of Zhou Lu and Chen Yutong, the mission of Piao Miao Taoist Temple was carried out by the military, and it was finally arranged in a small fortress. They will be responsible for the maintenance of the Vulcan Cannon there during the beast tide.
Work.
After the mission was docked, Chen Yutong, Wang Baole and others took the jade slips given by the military and walked out of the military tent. As for Zhou Lu, she stared at Wang Baole's back coldly and snorted again in her heart.
"I, Zhou Lu, am not a person who avenges public and private affairs. Otherwise, it would be very easy to peel off his skin this time! But in the future, I will definitely take revenge!" Zhou Lu withdrew her gaze and continued to handle official duties.
At this moment, Chen Yutong and the other two people who walked out of the military tent and stepped into the airship again, preparing to go to the small fortress designated for the mission, all looked at Wang Baole. Zhou Penghai and Sun Fang couldn't ask, but Chen Yutong was curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Baole, you must know that female officer just now. Is she also in Lingxi Township? Could it be that she also plans to strip you naked? No, this woman should not have entered the upper courtyard of the Four Avenues Courtyard. Otherwise, she would not have entered the army so early.
Fang, she should have been arranged by her family..." Chen Yutong looked at Wang Baole with some confusion.
Wang Baole coughed. There were no outsiders here, so he simply didn't try to hide it and spoke helplessly.
"Her name is Zhou Lu. She didn't strip me naked, but... she was kicked in the butt by me. I remember that even though she was wearing tights at the time, she still looked like she was getting bigger on one side and smaller on the other because of my kick.
It was originally a peach, but I kicked it into a gourd..."
Wang Baole's words were very vivid and picturesque. In an instant, a similar picture appeared in the minds of Chen Yutong and the others. Zhou Penghai and Sun Fang were convinced. When they looked at Wang Baole, they felt that the fat man in front of them was trying to flirt with girls.
, has reached a level beyond their reach.
Chen Yutong smiled bitterly, and finally patted Wang Baole on the shoulder and spoke with sincerity.
"Baole, women are very troublesome. I advise you... avoid provoking them less in the future. They are really troublesome. This is also based on experience. You have to learn from me on this point."
Listening to Chen Yutong's experience, Wang Baole always felt that something was wrong. Before he could think of it, a group of them took the airship and arrived at the small fortress designated for the mission.
This fortress was built on the top of a mountain. From a distance, the fortress was completely black, like a huge metal semicircle, about a few hundred feet high and more than a thousand feet long. One side facing the primitive zone was arc-shaped.
There are more than a hundred branches scattered on it, and the end of each branch is a circular platform, and the overall shape is like a spoon.
On the circular platform at the end of each branch, there is a huge Vulcan cannon about ten feet high. In addition, on each circular platform, there are many soldiers stationed, numbering about a thousand.
scale.
Some of these warriors are responsible for simple maintenance of the Vulcan cannon, while others are responsible for killing enemies when the beast tide arrives and preventing ferocious beasts from rushing in and destroying the Vulcan cannon.
The reason for this design is, on the one hand, the needs of the Vulcan Cannon itself, and on the other hand, it is also because once the Vulcan Cannon collapses, it will form a self-destruction force and cannot be too close to the fortress.
At the same time, on both sides of the fortress, in the undulating mountains, you can see the existence of translucent shields, spreading along the mountains to both sides, like a huge protective layer, blocking the incoming tide of beasts in the primitive zone, but also with
Two other forts located further away are connected.
If you can stand at the highest point and look down, you can see all the small fortresses, which are like dots, with the seventh main fortress as the center, arranged in a huge formation protective light curtain.
The task of these small fortresses, in addition to resisting the invasion of the beast tide, is to offset the formation fluctuations centered on the seventh main fortress, so that the formation fluctuations caused by the beast tide rushing in from any area will be dispersed in all the fortresses.
, thereby making the formation more stable.
And every small fortress has naturally become a breakthrough point in the eyes of ferocious beasts, so these small fortresses themselves are also equipped with Vulcan cannons. Although not as many as the main fortresses, there are still hundreds of them. In addition,
, there is also a teleportation array, so that you can assist friendly forces or receive rescue from friendly forces at any time.
There are hundreds of small fortresses with such lethality in the seventh main fortress, which forms the seventh national gate of the federation, making this place like an iron barrel. After the Battle of the Ferocious Beasts, until today,
Always standing, blocking the outbreak of beast tides again and again.
At this moment, as the airship landed in the fortress, Wang Baole and his party integrated into the fortress after meeting the commander in charge of the area, a strong man with a beard.
Time flies and three days pass.
In the past three days, Wang Baole had almost no time to meditate. He spent all his time following Chen Yutong to inspect some of the Vulcan cannons here.
There are also many disciples from the Fourth Avenue Academy who come to this small fortress. Although combat cultivators account for the majority, there are also some alchemy cultivators, formation cultivators, and other cultivators with their own specialties.
Everyone has their own tasks. As for the military cultivators who maintain the Vulcan cannons, including Wang Baole and his team, there are more than a dozen. They maintain the Vulcan cannons separately, so there are only thirty Vulcan cannons assigned to them.
respect.
Although there were not many in number, the Vulcan Cannon was too complex. In the past three days, Wang Baole was already shocked by the structure of the Vulcan Cannon during his continuous learning and testing.
Each Vulcan Cannon is composed of hundreds of Spiritual Treasures, and each Spiritual Treasure is like a part, so once the Vulcan Cannon is turned on, its power is by no means as simple as the stacking of hundreds of Spiritual Treasures.
It is precisely because of its complexity that once an error occurs, ordinary military cultivators cannot handle it at all. Therefore, Wang Baole and Zhou Penghai can only be assistants, and soldiers are not qualified to repair Lingbao, so the main person responsible for maintenance is
Chen Yutong.
However, Wang Baole could already make Lingbao himself, so during these three days of study, his mastery of this combination of Lingbao also improved rapidly. Even Chen Yutong was surprised. In the end, he simply let Wang Baole do the maintenance alone.
This also shared a lot of the workload among their group.
This kind of busyness lasted for a week. After all the Vulcan cannons were inspected, repaired and parts replaced, Wang Baole and his team felt a little leisurely.
At this time, half of their mission has been completed. The next step is to ensure the normal operation of these Vulcan cannons during the beast tide.
So Chen Yutong spent most of the next time making friends with other Taoist disciples. Zhou Penghai was also keen on this matter, while Sun Fang mingled with the officers.
Only here at Wang Baole, he liked the soldiers here more than the officers. During this week, he found many times that most of the soldiers here were in the ancient martial arts realm and were obviously not as good as him. But when they looked at him, they looked at him.
There is both envy and protection in it.
Not to be protected, but to protect Wang Baole, to be precise, to protect monks like Wang Baole!
This kind of protection gave Wang Baole a strong shock after seeing it many times.
He is obviously a monk, but people in the ancient martial arts realm have to protect themselves...
Because, in their view, the small number of monks is hope and cannot be lost!
And the monks who can create and repair the Vulcan Cannon must not suffer any damage!
When Wang Baole gradually understood all this, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He saw many warriors about his own age, saw that many of them had scars on their bodies, and saw their magical weapons.
Many of them have signs of being broken and repaired many times.
He thought of when he was practicing in the Taoist temple, where they... were fighting to the death with vicious beasts.
He thought that it was these soldiers who had used their lives and blood to buy the monks time to grow and more civilians to live a more peaceful life.
Therefore, after being free, Wang Baole chose to take the initiative to contact these warriors and do his best to repair the flaws on their magic weapons. Gradually, because of Wang Baole's approach and personality, he quickly became familiar with the warriors here.
Get connected...
After getting to know each other, Wang Baole often forgot that he was a monk, and his interactions with the soldiers became somewhat different.
"Come on, who else said that I can't beat him in an arm wrestling match? Let's compete today, and the loser will wash everyone's socks." On the square, outside a barracks of hundreds of soldiers, there was a lot of laughter and applause.
As the sound came out, Wang Baole sat there, knocked down the wrist of a strong man opposite who was smiling bitterly, and spoke loudly and proudly.
