Chapter 915: Harvest Enough
Deep in the Western Regions, a new city had already taken shape. Warriors in bright armor were patrolling along the four borders, and many warriors who had taken off their heavy armor were building watchtowers, outlining the territory of the city.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a young master in a brocade robe with a pale face was looking at a sand table map. This map was made very finely, with terrain details in full view. On the map, the city location was on the eastern edge, and within three thousand miles to the west, it was densely packed with large and small red dots, representing the cities and villages of the Shaman tribe.
On the southern edge of the map, there were also some small purple dots, which were the forces of the mountain people.
The young master held some chess pieces representing different military forces and arms in his hand, trying to place them on the map, advancing westward all the way. On the other side of the map stood an old general, holding chess pieces representing the Shaman tribe, setting up formations to resist.
The young master attacked from multiple routes, but they were all broken one by one, and when the decisive battle came, the military strength was insufficient, and the army was routed.
The old general said at this time: "In the confrontation between two countries, regular troops are the main force, and strange strategies are auxiliary. Our military strength is superior, so we must force the opponent to have a head-on decisive battle with us. Sending strange troops is also for this purpose. We must not abandon the root for the tip and blindly use strange strategies."
The young master was a bit unconvinced and said: "Fighting a war is not playing chess; I attack from multiple routes, how could you see everywhere?"
The old general sighed secretly and said: "It was the end general's negligence."
The young master set up another game, and this time he still divided his troops into multiple routes.
The whole city was like a large construction site. The City Lord's Mansion had been built, and the barracks were being built at this moment. Judging from the layout and distance, this city was very ambitious and was planned as a large city for five million people. Hundreds of thousands of people were busy on such a large construction site, and you couldn't see that there were many people at all.
At this moment, a flying boat appeared in the distant sky, flying toward the Xincheng.
Above the city, Cui Chengxiao was overlooking the whole city. Where it was done well and who was lazy, it was all in full view. But when he saw the flying boat in the distance, his pupils condensed, and he immediately flew up to meet it. Another figure also flew out from the city, following Cui Chengxiao.
A moment later, Cui Chengxiao and another old man stood on the flying boat. The hull of the flying boat was scarred, covered with blood and defects everywhere, and there was a large hole in the hull, and all the goods in the cabin had fallen out.
Several flying swords were nailed to the flying boat, and a four-foot flying sword even nailed a crew member to the deck. The crew member still had a breath and was screaming constantly, but no one came out to help him on the whole flying boat. The surviving crew members were all at the formation in the bottom cabin, concentrating on accelerating the flying boat.
The old man's face was already livid, and he said: "Who is so bold to dare to move my Cui family's flying boat?!"
This old man had just entered Master Yu Jing and was also a Song Cui elder, sent to assist Cui Chengxiao. Cui Chengxiao walked to the crew member, pulled out the flying sword, and the crew member screamed and finally died.
Cui Chengxiao didn't even look at him, just observing the flying sword. The four-foot flying sword was exactly the same as the flying sword test-fired in Qingming that day, but this time there was no Qingming mark on the flying sword.
Cui Chengxiao's face was cold, and he said coldly: "Good for you, Zhang Sheng, you actually dare to make a move!"
The old man said: "Is it done by people from Qingming? Are they crazy?"
Cui Chengxiao said slowly: "It seems that the child Cui Yu holds a grudge against us and fanned the flames from the middle."
The old man said: "That child's talent is average, and after Qianxi's sea of consciousness was repaired, her talent is more than a little stronger than his. Now that the Xincheng is established, we don't need anything from Qingming, so it's really not worth wasting precious resources on him."
"I'm just afraid that those people in Qingming don't think so."
The old man sneered: "This place was originally ownerless land; does it matter what they think? But since they attacked my Cui family's flying boat, this matter must be explained by them! If they don't lose a few lives, I'm afraid they won't remember it well. If one of my Cui family's crew members is injured, it should be repaid tenfold!"
Cui Chengxiao searched with his divine sense, then reached out and grabbed the captain of the flying boat onto the deck, asking: "Who attacked?"
When the captain saw Cui Chengxiao, his shock finally calmed down, and he said: "The quantity of goods this time is large, and one flying boat couldn't hold it, so two came..."
Cui Chengxiao interrupted immediately: "Where is the other one?"
"They were entangled by the enemy's flying boat, and we luckily escaped and accelerated to report the news."
Before the captain finished his sentence, Cui Chengxiao's figure had already disappeared.
Cui Chengxiao and the old man flew at full speed, their figures flickering, and one flash was several miles. A thousand miles passed in the blink of an eye. Ahead, they finally saw a flying boat on fire, slowly falling to the ground. In the air, there were two blue-gray flying boats, still continuously firing flying swords at the falling flying boat.
Seeing Cui Chengxiao and the old man rushing over, the two flying boats stopped firing, then raised flags and slowly retreated. On the big flag of the flying boat, there were three dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing characters: Flying Heaven Gang.
The two flying boats were half the size of the Cui family's flying boat, but they were covered with steel armor, and the steel armor was black, which was armor steel plate mixed with Nether Crystal. These two small flying boats were clearly born for air combat, and the Cui family's cargo flying boat was naturally not an opponent.
The old man was furious and was about to make a move, but suddenly saw Cui Chengxiao motionless, so the anger on his face remained unchanged, but his body stopped at the edge of a cliff, just waiting for Cui Chengxiao to move first.
Cui Chengxiao's face was livid at this time, feeling that three gazes were staring at him in the dark, and each had its own threat. One was extremely cold and vicious, as if carrying innate malice. The other was extremely sharp, making Cui Chengxiao's skin feel a slight tingling sensation.
These two gazes were of very high essence, but their realm seemed to be a bit lacking, at most making him wary, not enough to make him retreat. What really made Cui Chengxiao stop was the third gaze. ===== CHAPTER 916 =====
