Chapter 633 Under the Waterfall
Leaning on the smooth and shiny stone handrail, he went down the spiral staircase of the mansion. It didn't take long for Lei Xiao to return to the castle hall on the first floor.
Looking at the old butler who was wiping the throne, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and waved his hand to greet him.
"Ward, how is the matter I entrusted to you yesterday?"
Lei Xiao nodded to the old butler with gray hair but combed meticulously, and asked.
"Lord Lord, the 800 Tier 3 long swords you left in the warehouse yesterday have all been distributed to the half-elf squadron, 2 heavy shield archers squadron and 5 longbow squadrons."
Ward, who was wearing a black tuxedo, bowed slightly to Lei Xiao, and responded respectfully: "As for what you ordered, let the subordinates who have not yet reached the second-level nine-star in the territory take the Qi Condensation Pill, it was yesterday. A total of 1,364 were consumed, leaving 1,136."
Just listen to Ward's familiar words: "Currently, there are still 1,224 subordinates in the territory who have not yet reached the second-level nine-star rank. Among them, except for the peasant squadron, all the remaining elite squadron soldiers only need to refine the Qi Condensation Pill once. , you will be able to reach the peak level of the second-order nine-star of all members."
After the old butler finished speaking, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, his old face was full of reverence.
Being able to treat such a large amount of precious Qi Condensing Pills as ordinary rations and distribute them to every soldier at will, such a terrifying wealth of billions of dollars, makes people have an urge to crawl at the feet of the lord all the time.
"very good."
While listening to Ward's introduction, Lei Xiao looked at the subordinate overview interface.
As Ward said, up to now, the 16 elite squadrons in the territory, the half-elf squadron and werewolf warrior squadron that he focused on training at the earliest, have all reached the second-order nine-star level.
And the rest of the squadron of heavy guards, 2 squadrons of heavy shield shooters, 2 squadrons of magicians, 3 squadrons of gun fighters, and 5 squadrons of longbows are all one step away from the second-tier nine-star squadron. .
As for the peasant squadron, the first four captains, including Gang Song, have already reached the second-order seven-star team, and the rest are still in the second-order three-star range.
"That is to say, as long as a sufficient amount of Qi Condensation Pill is supplied today, besides the peasant squadron, will the 15 elite squadrons in the territory be able to reach the peak level of the second-order for all members? Not bad!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao handed over the missing 88 Qi Condensation Pills to Ward, and told him to continue distributing them for a while.
"Obey, my lord."
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, the old housekeeper put his hand on his chest and made a standard bow.
"Thanks for your hard work."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he walked out of the lord's mansion.
Bathed in the bright morning light, Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the fresh air mixed with the smell of fragrant grass, while continuing to think secretly in his heart.
"From the perspective of time, by tonight, the half-elf squadron will be able to reach the third-tier level of all members. My first third-tier strong squadron will finally be born!"
In addition to being overjoyed, Lei Xiao walked vigorously and fell into deep thought.
"By the way, there are still more than 1,500 Qi Condensation Pills left on my body, so I will take out 1,500 and send them to the Red Stone in the Kingdom of Thorns."
"In this way, Redstone can at least rebuild five elite second-tier guard squadrons, and there will also be a full-staff fourth-tier equipment! You know, five second-tier elite squadrons are enough to compete with five fourth-tier strongmen !"
As Lei Xiao thought about it, he climbed up to the nearby city wall of the territory.
After some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
Just like what I saw last night, after the cafeteria, all the trenches outside the territory have been dug.
At a glance, the five-meter-deep and ten-meter-wide trench completely isolated the entire territory from the forest, which was enough to block or slow down the enemy's attack, and raised the overall defense of the territory to a higher level.
The excavated soil has also been transported to a distant area to be smoothed and compacted, leaving no opportunity for the opponent to take advantage of.
"Very good, perfect!"
Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao, escorted by the patrolling soldiers around, left the city wall and returned to the territory.
Just passing by the area where the three miraculous buildings are located, Lina with an excited expression appeared not far away, accompanied by Chao Yan and Bai Wei.
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, the three of them rushed up immediately.
"My lord, the territory is really majestic and majestic. About the castle and the miraculous buildings, the subordinates only heard about it in the thrilling adventure stories of the teacher, and our territory is exactly the same as the subordinates imagined!"
Under the bright morning light, Lina's wheat-colored cheeks were already covered with novelty and excitement, and she said excitedly: "Compared with the wooden houses and underground caves in the subordinate villages, it's like a sky and an underground!"
"Our territory is still in the development stage, and it is far from majestic."
Lei Xiao casually touched the frizzy hair next to the green leaves on the top of the opponent's head, and then smiled slightly: "The most exciting thing is that we can witness the rise and growth of the territory and participate in it."
"Will you witness the rise and growth of the territory and participate in it?"
Hearing the sound, Lina's flushed little face from excitement showed another look of anticipation, and even the green leaves above her head seemed to move a little bit.
"Is this guy doing photosynthesis?"
Noticing this rather interesting scene, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao sniffed the aroma of butter and sausages permeating the territory, and then said, "Okay, let's go have breakfast first."
After speaking, Lei Xiao, surrounded by the three of them, walked towards the source of the fragrance of rice, the large cafeteria area in the southeast corner of the territory.
Walking into the majestic dining hall reflected by the light spar, Lei Xiao had just sat down at the long table full of delicious food, when the reminder to read aloud sounded again.
After connecting, Lei Xiao learned that Lin had rushed over from Kongqing Town.
"Very good, Lin, come and have breakfast with us first."
After closing the reading, Lei Xiao picked up the knife and fork neatly placed on the white napkin, and began to feast on it.
During breakfast, Lei Xiao asked Lin, Bai Zhi, and Orson about the training of the half-elven wolf cavalry in the past few days, and then learned about it.
Although there is a big difference between foot shooting and riding shooting, the half-elf, who perfectly inherited the talent of elf archers, adapts extremely quickly.
Coupled with their agility and excellent balance, they also mastered riding very quickly, making everything go very smoothly.
After the meal, Lei Xiao immediately gathered all the main subordinates and commanders according to the usual practice, and began to make arrangements for the day.
Among them, Randall and Benson, needless to say, went to the mountain fortress at the fastest speed, reunited with the other members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group, and secretly assembled other forces of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group.
The other returned to Luolong City to prepare for the big battle that may come at any time, and gave 1,500 Qi Condensation Pills to the Red Stone of the Thorn Kingdom.
As for the job of delivering potion ingredients to the Alchemist Guild of Songlin City, it fell on Hong Ye.
As a fifth-order powerhouse of the Dragon Clan who cultivated both magic and martial arts, even in the form of a human race, Hong Ye's speed was still the best in the entire territory.
After the three of them took their orders to leave, Lei Xiao began to arrange the work in the territory.
"Today, there is only one main job in the territory, and that is to introduce all the streams in and around the territory into the moat, complete the last step of the moat, and form a perfect water circulation system."
In the spacious and bright hall of the mansion, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the subordinates standing respectfully at the first place, and said, "Squadron leader Finley, who is a third-level water magician, will be in charge of this job." .
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "As for the auxiliary work, I will leave it to Ward, the logistics commander. In the logistics department, there are two third-level water magicians, chef Shuang Xu, and maid Yingshi. We must fully assist Finley in the drainage work."
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's order, Finley in a robe and Ward in a black tuxedo stepped forward at the same time, touching their chests and saying.
"As for other elite squadrons, let's carry out combat training in the territory, especially the half-elf squadron and werewolf warrior squadron. You must work closely together to form combat capabilities under Lin's guidance as soon as possible."
"Obey! Your lord!" Hearing the sound, all the commanders also bowed to accept the order,
"Finally, regarding Xueya and Faxia, since the materials for [Star Pattern Magic Energy Pill] and [Shuangyue Condensation Energy Pill] have all been collected, starting today, you can refine these two third-level magic pills. Medicine."
Nodding to the two noble alchemists, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "In a while, you can directly connect with Lin, and I will give you the newly obtained rare alchemy materials, as well as the previous materials such as the star pattern fruit. She kept it."
"Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely go all out!"
Seeing Xueya and Faxia's fair faces, they couldn't help showing a look of joy and eagerness, and said in unison.
"As for Zhuqi and the other main subordinates, follow me to the upper reaches of the Demon Shadow River. We should also study embankment and water storage, so that this hidden army is ready."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, waved his hands and said, "Okay, everyone, let's perform our duties. Under the shadow of war that may come at any time, the time left for us is running out."
"Obey! Your lord!"
All the subordinates looked awe-inspiring, and after saluting their chests together, they hurried to work.
Next, Lei Xiao and all the main forces rushed towards the Baibu Mountains in the upper reaches of the Moying River.
Because at the beginning, Polygonum cuspidatum had checked the route up the mountain once.
So, it didn't take long.
Lei Xiao and his party, who were busy in the world, had already appeared not far from an extremely spectacular waterfall.
huh huh huh...
For a moment, the deafening sound of running water and the sound of turbulent waves crashing on the shore were endless, just like the roar of thunder, which made people feel shocked.
Lei Xiao, who was stepping on a huge cobblestone amidst the mist, felt the cool spray splashing on his face from time to time, and looked up.
Two suns, one big and one small, were in the sky. Under the pure sky like azure sapphire, the first thing that caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a rainbow across the mountains.
Further down is the body of the waterfall.
As described by the knotweed, although the waterfall pouring down from the top of the mountain is less than 20 meters wide, it is at least 100 meters high.
Among the jagged rocks, we can see the rushing water rushing down the steep rock wall.
Just like an army of knights sprinting down from the hillside, it landed with huge energy, and finally in the river at the bottom of the waterfall, there were waves of giant water splashes.
Shocked, Lei Xiao continued to observe while pacing on the edge of the waterfall.
After the waterfall fell, a huge lake was formed.
According to Ye Cang and Ariel who went to investigate, especially the place where the waterfall falls is almost bottomless.
As for Chaoyan, even water slimes are afraid, she is a complete landlubber, so Lei Xiao didn't let her fly to investigate.
Having said that, at the end of the lake, there is a wide river channel widened by a narrow channel.
The overflowing river water has been flowing down the slightly meandering river valley, and then converges in the lower reaches of the Shadow River.
"Lord, this shallow lake is surrounded by towering mountains. If we can build embankments at the end of the lake to control the water flow in the valley, we can form a huge reservoir here!"
Ariel blinked her starry eyes and leaned closer and said, "In this way, as long as the enemy tries to attack the territory through the Demon Shadow River, we will surely cause huge casualties to the enemy as long as we open the gate and release the water!"
"That's true! At present, we are outnumbered, and our troops near the territory are extremely weak. In addition, the Demon Shadow River located in the Demon Shadow Forest is quite a distance from the territory and Kongqing Town. will not be affected."
Tangerine Bai at the side also had an excited look on his face and said: "Thus, just like what the lord said, this is indeed equivalent to creating an extra murderous army out of thin air!"
"That's right, the only place that needs attention is Chijian Town, the most downstream town near the river bank."
After listening to the words of the two, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said: "I have told Donna to secretly build a refuge on the high mountains around Chijian Town. As long as you receive the order, immediately go to the designated place to take refuge. The terrain is higher there. There will be no danger."
"These poor residents of Red Arrow Town have already experienced suffering once. If conditions permit, they must not be allowed to be affected for no reason again."
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao groaned for a while, then turned to look at the female commander who was a rock magician on the other side, and asked, "Zhuqi, do you think it is feasible to build a dam in the narrow part of the river?"
"My lord, my subordinates think this plan is perfect."
Bowing slightly to Lei ~ Zhu Qi, with a few freckles dotted on her fair cheeks, responded respectfully: "Although the geotechnical magic of my subordinates cannot last forever, it is still necessary to assist in the construction of dams." No problem at all!"
"The task of building the embankment is entrusted to you. I will let Ned from Magneto Town and Xuan Yue from Mailan Town, who are also third-level rock and soil magicians, come to assist you."
Nodding to Zhuqi, Lei Xiao continued: "Although ordinary soldiers are difficult to reach this position, it is easy for the snow wolf tribe who are good at climbing. The main force for building the embankment will be handed over to them. I will arrange for the werewolf patriarch Shi Feng to also fully cooperate with you."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "The war is imminent, and this matter must be completed in the shortest possible time."
"Obey, my lord! The subordinates will complete the task as soon as possible!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Zhu Qi's face was full of sternness, and she said firmly.
Just when the two of them said this.
On the other side, there was a series of sudden abnormal noises.
