We are all on the same side. I happened to be passing by and saw an alien warship, so I followed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu was still very respectful, lowering his cloud head by half a meter: \"Lord Zhao's spells are truly amazing. I have never seen anyone as powerful as you. What spell is this cloud of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu really liked the profession of agriculture official; at this moment, he actually forgot True Lord Tian De's instructions, didn't go to mix for credit, but instead started chatting with Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing also found it funny, because he used the Bright Eye Method to see the Yin God possessing Chen Lu holding his forehead and shaking his head, obviously thinking this believer was a bit dim-witted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can't teach him anything! Don't invite this god next time, I'm afraid of getting infected with your stupidity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Chen, we can discuss spells later. Right now, the enemies on the Netherflame warship haven't been dealt with yet. Please, Brother Chen, lend me a hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the people were almost all killed, and Long Xiao could handle the rest, but Zhao Xing was still willing to give Chen Lu some face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he participated in the counterattack, at least when battle merits were deducted, they could be deducted a little less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't even think about gaining battle merits; with such heavy casualties after the city was breached, it could only be said that the deduction would be less, it was impossible to increase battle merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if Chen Lu had held the city before, he would have had merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right.\" Chen Lu hurriedly cast a spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was a bit surprised, because Chen Lu didn't change the deity possessing him, and the attack spell he cast was also relatively weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to understand why Chen Lu, a priest, would be an Equalization Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out this guy liked being an agriculture official and only worshipped the Agriculture God in normal times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gale blew, and Chen Lu cast a gale spell, blowing into the interior of the warship, harvesting the lives of the alien soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Pati was already separated from his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't last ten breaths in Long Xiao's hands before his head was cut off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in death, his eyes were wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pati really died with his eyes open; he hadn't gone very deep, just choosing a grain city to raid, yet he encountered monstrous 7th Rank geniuses, and two at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Done. This is...\" Long Xiao walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Subordinate Chen Lu, Sea-Suppressing Army Equalization Order, is the garrison commander of the 109th city.\" Chen Lu hurriedly saluted; it could be seen that Long Xiao was also a 7th Ranker, and his rank was even higher than Zhao Xing's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was a regular 7th Rank lower, and Long Xiao was a regular 7th Rank upper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Might Army, Brave Captain Long Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, you, as a garrison commander, are not very qualified. The enemy came to steal your home, and you didn't have any resistance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao spoke very bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the perspective of a garrison commander, Chen Lu was clearly unqualified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the specifications of this city were not very high, it shouldn't have been without any chance to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With friendly forces appearing, his reaction was also relatively slow, not seizing the opportunity to lead people to charge up. Although he didn't need his help, not needing it was one thing, but the decisiveness he should have had as a garrison commander was not seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu blushed and said: \"Subordinate is ashamed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he was not suitable to be a garrison commander in the first place. The original garrison commander of this city was someone else, but the Sea-Suppressing Army fought too fast and fiercely, drawing away many fierce generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, only he, a 7th Rank priest, was left to sit in command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu's mind was relatively simple; facing Long Xiao's questioning, he didn't defend these points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrong is wrong, incompetent is incompetent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter cannot be blamed on Lord Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just that the aliens are too cunning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing comforted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Lord Long's words are reasonable; it is indeed my fault,\" Chen Lu shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Chen, don't take it to heart,\" Zhao Xing smiled. \"Now that there is no major disaster, please, Lord Chen, come and handle this warship and the spoils of war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu hurriedly waved his hand: \"No, no, no, Lord Zhao, Lord Long, how could I dare to covet this warship and the spoils of war?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without the help of the two lords, I'm afraid I would have been demoted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu wouldn't take it no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing allowing him to help was already benevolent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being polite is one thing; if he took it seriously and wanted to share the spoils, that would be not knowing what's good for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Chen Lu have the face to ask for it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he didn't want it, Zhao Xing insisted on giving him some benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu was a rare honest man; sending him a favor might come in handy in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, having more brothers means having more lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, he was counting on Chen Lu to send people to pilot this Netherflame warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A medium-sized warship couldn't be handled by one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to monopolize the benefits while making others work for free, even if Chen Lu didn't feel anything, others might say, \"How can Lord Zhao be so ignorant of the ways of the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much persuasion, Chen Lu finally agreed to share 10% of the spoils to comfort the injured brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trouble Brother Chen to lend me some manpower to pilot it to my garrison city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Need fifty people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lu nodded: \"No problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he didn't have many mechanism masters left. While the Netherflame warship destroyed the magic array, it caused many mechanism masters to be injured by the backlash, and under the attacks of the Blood Kui and heavy water catapults, many died or fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was the time to quickly repair the city's magic array and strengthen defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Lu still called people over to lend to Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing took people on board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, see you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhao, take care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bidding farewell to Chen Lu, the Netherflame warship roared into the sky, leaped up, and entered the gale layer. As for the Arrowfish flying boat, it stopped inside the Netherflame warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow!\" The lynx saw Zhao Xing board the ship and let out an unhappy cry; why didn't you take me when you were fighting just now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're still young, what kind of fight?\" Zhao Xing pushed the lynx away, \"Go play on the side, I have things to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meow-woo~\" Aotian meowed, walking away aggrieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao walked out of the storage room of the Netherflame warship, rubbing his hands joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking at you, the harvest is not small?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad,\" Long Xiao laughed. \"This group of Shapa tribesmen robbed a lot of things; the cabin is half-filled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ridiculous thing is, they arranged those Tier 3 and 4 weapons, armor, and elixir boxes neatly, while other valuable medicinal herbs and treasures were just piled up randomly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly blind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing also laughed; being blind is good, doesn't that make it cheaper for himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, the most valuable thing is this Netherflame warship,\" Long Xiao said. \"It's the biggest harvest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Netherflame warship, even if sold in the Great Zhou, its price would not drop because its craftsmanship already met the Great Zhou's standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might even sell for a high price because of its unique tribal style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Shapa tribe is just a small to medium-sized tribe in the Golden Feather Royal Court; they couldn't scrape together a few warships even if they smashed their pots and sold their iron. Now that they've lost one, they'll probably feel the pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao stroked his chin and said: \"However, I don't suggest selling it. Your current Arrowfish flying boat is a small ship; although it's also a Tier 5 low-grade, its value is not in the same league as the Netherflame warship; it's too far off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing said: \"I remember you also had a stake in Old Chen's dragon-bone warship?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Long Xiao said. \"I usually act with Old Chen, sitting on that ship. Not only that, I also have a stake in Liao Rulong's dragon-head building ship. If there are earnings, I can also earn points while lying down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take 30% of yours; I won't worry about the usual maintenance costs and such.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal.\" Zhao Xing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also knew why Old Chen and Long Xiao gave him so many things so casually at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Elements Scepter was a Tier 4 top-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bright Moon Armor was a Tier 4 top-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ink-Defense Jade Pendant was a Tier 5 low-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The almanac, straw raincoat, cloud-stepping boots, and bamboo hat were all upgraded to Tier 4 top-grade; at that time, he didn't even have an official position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Xiao and Chen Shijie were both people who didn't lack money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now investing in a Netherflame warship, one could imagine that as long as there was a war, Long Xiao and Chen Shijie would not be poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll only take 30% of the things in the storage room. When the transport commissioner of the Military Realm comes, you can handle it and give me the points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transport commissioner is specifically responsible for transporting things from the Military Realm treasury to the front line and handling the spoils of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhao Xing, this kind of Equalization Order, is an individual takeaway operator, the transport commissioner is the one doing logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transport commissioner's building ships are all large building ships, which will travel between cities every once in a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this Netherflame warship, it will be much more convenient for you to transport things to the front, defend, or go kill enemies yourself,\" Long Xiao said. \"I'm waiting for you to lead me to get rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you afraid I can't afford to keep this ship?\" Zhao Xing said. \"Besides, does City 92 have any powerful mechanism masters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Wang Ji is already waiting at City 92.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji himself was from the Divine Might Army; when he was in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, he was a Grade A genius and had undergone breakout training with Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later in Yuncheng, Wang Ji was sent over to cooperate with Zhao Xing for two months; he could be said to be an old acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the internship ended, Wang Ji was also promoted to a lower 7th Rank upper, only one level behind Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Wang Ji was the garrison commander of City 92; as a mechanism master, he was in charge of the overall situation, and the heads of all offices had to listen to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days ago, an order suddenly arrived at City 92, telling Wang Ji that the garrison commander was being replaced, and he was very unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been doing a good job in City 92; I've repaired the city that needed repairing, and the supplies that needed to be sent to the front line haven't been missing at all,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did the higher-ups want to remove me from the position of garrison commander of City 92?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is this official's second generation that I have to make way for him?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want me, Wang Ji, to work for someone who goes through the back door? No way!\" Wang Ji slapped the table angrily. \"Either I go, or he goes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The envoy said indifferently: \"Do you want to hear the name before you get angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji snorted: \"Why, I, Wang Ji, have a backbone. No matter how big his background is, I'm not afraid. A craftsman can eat anywhere! Who am I afraid of, who am I afraid of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The envoy said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji said: \"Fine, then tell me, who has such a big face that I need to hand over my position?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The envoy said expressionlessly: \"Zhao Xing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't care if he is... hmm? Who did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji's hand slapping the table hung in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Xing, your old superior, did you hear clearly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" Wang Ji's hand fell lightly, touching the desk, \"When will he arrive? Are there any orders for me, do you need me to do anything in advance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing laughed playfully: \"Look at your cheap look, what did you just say? Oh, it's impossible for me, Wang Ji, to work for others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Wang Ji, have a backbone... tsk tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji said angrily: \"Damn, you dead-faced guy, why didn't you say it was him earlier, making me angry for nothing. Zhao Xing... can he be the same as others?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji originally wouldn't have reached the lower 7th Rank upper so quickly, but following Zhao Xing in Yuncheng, from the fourth ring task, he managed to get a Grade A evaluation every time. And before that, his three-ring tasks were actually not that satisfactory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was equivalent to Zhao Xing raising him to the rank of 7th Rank official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Gong didn't admire anyone else, but he was very convinced by Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing said: \"Did you let me speak? As soon as I said someone was going to replace your garrison commander position, you exploded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't even think about it; even I, the chief agriculture official, am willing to give up my position, who else has this ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji didn't argue with Han Bing: \"When will he arrive? Really no other orders?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing shook his head: \"No more, he'll probably take three days to get here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji rubbed his hands: \"Three days? Good, three days is good. When he comes, I can save a lot of trouble, hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at your lack of ambition.\" Han Bing snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As City 92 approached, Zhao Xing first let the Netherflame warship stop, then released the Arrowfish flying boat to say hello first, avoiding his own people treating the Netherflame warship as an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Xing!\" Wang Ji ran out excitedly, and Han Bing followed. \"Hahaha, you're finally here, we've been waiting for three days!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Ji.\" Zhao Xing also grinned, holding the other's arm and patting it; they were old acquaintances, so the etiquette of bowing was omitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at the person next to him: \"Han Bing, how have you been lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing nodded: \"Doing okay, it's just that Wang Gong heard you were coming to grab his garrison commander position and threw a tantrum, breaking two or three tables.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji exploded as soon as he heard it: \"Bastard! How can you slander people's innocence! Was I aiming at Zhao Xing? I thought it was someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing said coldly: \"That's right, after you heard it was Zhao Xing, you put the table back together. Look at your lack of ambition, can't you be as calm as me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who have thunder in their hearts but faces like calm lakes can worship... holy crap, what is that above?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bing suddenly looked up, staring blankly at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ji also looked over fiercely, only to see a behemoth descending from the clouds, with a black base, red wings, and dragging a tail flame; when it descended, the sky was dyed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was waving, gesturing to Long Xiao above, indicating that it could land and would not be attacked by his own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhao Xing waving while commanding, Wang Ji and Han Bing were dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhao.\" Wang Ji became a bit stuttering, his eyes burning: \"Is this Tier 5 Netherflame warship yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Xing, you can't afford this kind of warship.\" Han Bing also stared at Zhao Xing: \"Don't tell me this Tier 5 Netherflame warship was snatched by you halfway!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second update is here, 4+6, ten thousand words in two chapters.
