Chapter 644: City Defense of Xinghuo No. 1 City-State

Ninth Defense Zone Military Region.

When Yingzhou arrived at the military region office, he saw Lu Zhenda sitting on the sofa, while his office seat had already been taken over by Sanguinius.

Although Sanguinius currently looked like a child, the wisdom of a Primarch allowed him to handle Lu Zhenda's work with ease, and with Horus there to offer reminders, work efficiency had improved significantly.

Upon seeing Yingzhou arrive, Lu Zhenda could not help but reveal a wry smile on his face, and then he said to Yingzhou.

"Yingzhou, you had Horus bring Sanguinius here—you aren't expecting me to be like you, are you? I don't have your level of strength."

"Hahaha, Lao Lu, I am just letting Sanguinius familiarize himself with the situation here. Later, he will head to the Fourth Defense Zone to help Xindi manage the military region currently under expansion."

After learning that Horus had begun helping Yingzhou a long time ago, Sanguinius brought this matter up during dinner last night, wanting to help Yingzhou share some of the burden. Considering that Vulkan was handling the political affairs of the Fourth Defense Zone, the military region was the perfect place to send Sanguinius.

Furthermore, after the war against the Alien Race of demons begins, Vulkan will inevitably head to the front lines; when that time comes, Sanguinius will be stationed in the Fourth Defense Zone as a safeguard.

"By the way, Horus, has the plan for the push toward the Demon Alien side been completed?"

"Yes, Father, it was just finished. Please take a look."

After briefly looking over Horus's plan, Yingzhou placed the proposal back on the desk and said.

"Proceed according to your plan. I will have the Grey Knights go to the Demon Alien side; they are experts at dealing with Demon Aliens."

"No problem. They will not affect the progress of the plan; on the contrary, they will accelerate the pace of the advance."

Yingzhou sat down beside Lu Zhenda, and Lu Zhenda casually mentioned.

"Speaking of which, Dorn should have already arrived at Xinghuo No. 1 City-State by now, right?"

Yingzhou glanced at the time, nodded, and said.

"He should be arriving soon. The city-state is currently undergoing expansion, and the city's defensive fortifications need to be strengthened. Once Dorn arrives, I will have Daixi cooperate fully with Dorn's ideas."

Xinghuo No. 1 City-State.

At a construction site, yellow sand filled the air, and many workers were laboring away.

As the facilities available in Xinghuo No. 1 City-State continued to increase, Daixi applied to Jack of the Ninth Defense Zone to carry out a second expansion of Xinghuo No. 1 City-State and to strengthen the city's defense intensity.

Daixi wiped the sweat from her forehead, flipped through the blueprints in her hand to compare them, and directed the surrounding workers to carry out operations at the designated locations.

At this moment, Daixi heard the roar of a military jeep coming from afar.

She saw an assistant get out of the military jeep, trot over to Daixi's side, and say in a serious tone.

"Lord Daixi, an edict from the Emperor!"

Upon hearing the Emperor's edict, Daixi immediately closed the blueprints in her hand and said.

"What is the meaning of the Emperor's edict?"

The assistant said very seriously.

"Reporting to Lord Daixi, the Emperor's offspring, Rogal Dorn, is on his way to Xinghuo No. 1 City-State. We are to cooperate fully with Lord Dorn's orders.

Furthermore, Lord Dorn's main objective this time is to reinforce our defensive fortifications."

"Lord Dorn? How much longer until he arrives?"

Recalling Lord Angron, whom she had met before, Daixi immediately said to the assistant beside her.

"With Lord Dorn coming this time, have all units take note: do not cause any trouble at this time."

"Yes! Lord Daixi!"

Soon, Kusake, the Company Commander of the Reserve Army 3rd Regiment 3rd Company, drove a military jeep to the construction site. When Daixi saw a child with a resolute face step out of the military jeep, she was stunned for a moment.

How could this Lord Dorn be a child? However, out of trust in the Emperor, Daixi walked up quickly and saluted Dorn.

"Lord Dorn, I am the person in charge of Xinghuo No. 1 City-State—Daixi. I will follow your arrangements throughout."

Dorn straightened the top button of his shirt, then spoke in a stiff tone.

"Father sent me here to improve the city defense level of Xinghuo No. 1 City-State. Other than that, I will not interfere with other affairs of Xinghuo No. 1 City-State."

Dorn knew what Daixi meant by saying that, but before he came, his father had also told him that he was only responsible for the city defense work here, and to check whether the residents of Xinghuo No. 1 City-State had been living as beautifully as the reports claimed since the city-state was established.

Yingzhou naturally knew that Angron had visited Xinghuo No. 1 City-State a few times, but based on his own experience from his past life, any phenomenon one sees is only from the past, and people change. He must constantly monitor whether these residents are living under relatively peaceful order; only then can he accept his Faith Value with a clear conscience.

Before Daixi could even speak, Dorn saw the city defense layout map in Daixi's hand and reached out to Daixi, saying.

"Daixi, let me see the city defense layout map."

"Yes... Lord Dorn."

Daixi had just wanted to decline, but seeing that Dorn wanted to see the city defense layout map, she immediately crouched down and handed the city defense layout map in her hand to Dorn.

After briefly examining the layout map, Dorn had Daixi lead him to the construction site command post.

After entering the command post, Dorn stood on tiptoe to spread the blueprints out on a temporarily erected tin table. His fingertip stopped suddenly as it traced the city wall markings, and he looked at Daixi standing opposite him, saying in a serious tone.

"Using a right-angle corner here?"

Daixi saw the location Dorn pointed out and asked in confusion.

"Is there a problem here, Lord Dorn?"

Dorn nodded and continued.

"The convex wall in the Fourth Defense Zone must be changed to a serrated shape, with firing embrasures set every twenty meters. When an Alien tide surges in, right-angle corners will create blind spots in firepower. Look..."

As he spoke, Dorn used a pencil to draw intersecting lines of fire on the blueprint, and pointed his finger at two dots to explain.

"The firepower coverage of the three automatic cannons must be like a chessboard grid. Two bunkers must be added here and here."

"Understood, Lord Dorn."

Seeing this, Daixi nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Daixi felt very shocked internally at Dorn's attainments in city defense layout; he was truly the Emperor's offspring, possessing a deep understanding of city defense layout.

After looking at the areas already built on Daixi's city defense layout map, Dorn pondered for a few seconds and then continued.

"As for the city defense arrangements that have already been completed, tear them all down and redo them!"

Dorn jumped off an ammunition crate, his military boots kicking up fine gravel, and he said to Daixi in a serious tone.

"City defense is not something to be taken lightly; we must strive to reach the best possible standard currently achievable!"

"As you command, Lord Dorn!"
