“All, double?”

“The fortress might not be able to hold on if we increase the strength of the fortress by so much. We might as well use those materials to strengthen the defense of Sea City Base.”

“You’re right. Why would you spend the materials in that place for no reason? That place is so far away from Sea City Base. It’s useless.”

“I think this thing is indeed not worth it. City Lord, why don’t we forget about it? Instead of spending so much money to build this thing, 1 think it’s better to think of other ways.”

After the generals below heard the cost report, they could not sit still.

It was already very risky to build a fortress outside. Everyone had seen the outcome of the last fortress.

Instead of spending so many materials to build a fortress that couldn’t be defended, it would be better to use these expensive materials to strengthen the defense of Sea City Base. They could also hide here. Otherwise, if they spent all their money on the outside, the inside would be empty, and the demons would take advantage of the situation to invade. By then, they would just be turtles in a jar.

The argument below became more and more intense. They were all unanimously opposed to spending so many materials to build a fortress. The cost of doubling was not a small sum.

However, all the quarrels slowly died down under Ye Qiluo’s gaze.

Although he did not know where the City Lord got his confidence from, he was indeed much more confident than before. He was really a completely different City Lord now.

They looked at Ye Qiluo carefully, and no one dared to speak loudly. After all, Ye Qiluo had obtained some kind of opportunity, and his cultivation had increased again.

Ye Qiluo seemed to be very satisfied with their reaction. She nodded slightly and slowly swept her gaze over them.

“Don’t worry about the materials. I’ll take care of them. There’s no need to take them out of the warehouse. As for the overall reinforcement plan for the Main City, it’s still with the state preceptor. I haven’t brought it over yet. After the state preceptor puts forward the plan, I’ll start immediately without any delay.”

“May I know where City Lord obtained these materials?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I have my own ways.”

Ye Qiluo rarely spoke like this. Usually, she was a very reasonable person and would try her best to answer any questions from her subordinates. However, today, she spoke more decisively and did not leave any room for rebuttal.

Originally, there were still many people who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, but after hearing Ye Qiluo’s words, they did not dare to jump out and make trouble. They only dared to sit there one by one and did not dare to say anything.

Ye Qiluo looked around again and asked one last time,””Regarding the construction of the fortress, no one has any objections, right?”

“Of course not. Since the City Lord has already settled it, what else do we have to say?” The general said respectfully.”

” Alright then. As for everyone, I’ve hired a few Armament Masters from the usual days. They’ve already arrived yesterday. They’ll help you refine your Armaments according to the needs of each of your troops. Today, 1 will go and do the handover with them. Remember, they are all distinguished guests, so you must not neglect them.”

“There’s such a thing?”

“City Lord, do you mean to help the soldiers refine magic tools?”

“How can that be? It must be that each unit has to refine a few special weapons. If everyone has one, how can they rush? The time is too tight.”

“That’s true. Time is indeed a little tight. It’s naturally best if we can improve a little now. Last time, everyone didn’t do much. Now, we have to make more preparations.”

After their discussion, Ye Qiluo said to them,””I’ve already given the order.

They will help each soldier refine a magic tool. Although they are all low-grade magic tools, they are enough to replace the weapons in their hands…”

“City Lord, are you serious?”

“There are indeed quite a number of soldiers down there, but they can’t even hold a decent magic tool. If they could have a suitable weapon, their strength would increase by thirty to forty percent.”

“This is great. Let’s have a good fight with those demons. This time, we don’t have to be afraid of them anymore. I’ll see what they have to be arrogant about.”

After Ye Qiluo made some simple arrangements for the rest of the matters, she ended today’s morning meeting.

The design of the fortress was personally made by Li Yuanqing. As for where the materials came from, it was also made by Li Yuanqing. Although Ye Qiluo wanted to say some words of thanks, Li Yuanqing’s help was far more than just a word of thanks.

Ye Qiluo could only remember this kindness in her heart. As for how to repay it, she was afraid that she would never be able to repay it in this lifetime.

Ye Qiluo returned to her residence and was about to report to Li Yuanqing, but he had already disappeared. Before he left, Li Yuanqing said that he would wait for Ye Qiluo to come back and that he had other things to deal with. However, he didn’t know where he was now. He probably had his own things to do.

At that moment, Li Yuanqing was standing at the foot of a wall outside Sea City Base, staring at a rough-looking, white-haired man in front of him.

This guy’s two eyebrows were like a scar, stuck in his two fierce eyes. It was as if he was looking for his enemy, constantly looking left and right.

However, in the end, he still could not find his enemy. It was just that his eyes seemed to be able to shoot out two golden lights, scaring away the people beside him.

“Are you crazy?”

“What is this guy doing here? Should we report to the city defense team?”

“Forget it. There will always be some people with bad brains. Don’t trouble the city defense team for everything. The city defense team has been very tired from building fortifications these few days.”

As the two of them spoke, they directly went around the burly man. They did not want to cause any trouble here.

Everyone was so scared by this guy that they avoided him far away. They didn’t dare to look at this person directly. This person looked fierce and had a fierce expression. He looked like he had a deep grudge. No one knew who he had a grudge against.

After the fierce-looking man looked left and right, he made himself depressed as he muttered.

“These humans really have bad intentions. They only took a few glances at them and ran far away.”

This guy even consoled himself in his heart, thinking that it was someone else’s problem.

They looked around and found a handsome young man standing at the foot of the city wall. This young man didn’t look old, but his temperament was very kind.

It could be seen that this young man seemed to be a very cute person. The people around him had all run away, but this guy was still here.

The burly man was a little puzzled, so he walked directly to Li Yuanqing and glared at him fiercely like a hungry wolf.

“Kid, what’s your name?”

Li Yuanqing smiled and replied,” You can call me Little Li. This brother should be from outside. He looks very unfamiliar.””

The burly man was about to answer when he immediately became vigilant. He glared at him and said,”What are you asking? What does it have to do with you whether I’m from the outside or not? Don’t talk so much, kid. Answer whatever I ask you. Do you understand?”

Li Yuanqing was very cooperative. He nodded and said,”I understand. I wonder what you want to ask. It seems that you have a lot of questions.”

Although the man felt that it was a little strange, as if the pace of his conversation was controlled by Li Yuanqing, he did not refuse because everyone around him had run away. Only this little guy was left. If he ran away again, he would definitely not be able to get anything out of him.

He was unfamiliar with this place. If he were to find it himself, it would be too much of a waste of his brain.

“Since you’re so generous, I won’t hold back. I wonder if Sea City Base’s defense is really as strong as the rumors say..”
