Chapter 180 Don't tell me you stole this warship! ( words updated)
Seeing this, Zhao Xing took the initiative to press down the cloud and level it with Chen Lu.

Chen Lu was of the seventh rank, and I was of the seventh rank, so there was nothing wrong with him bowing to me.

But Chen Lu was in the state of summoning gods at the moment, and the one he summoned was the Si Nong Yin God, so he still had to be polite.

"The Divine Might Army surrenders, Zhao Xing."

He introduced himself and returned the greeting, "Master Chen, you don't have to be polite. We are all family. I just happened to be passing by and saw a foreign warship, so I followed it."

Chen Lu was still very respectful, and descended half a meter from the cloud. "Master Zhao's magic is truly amazing. I have never seen anyone as powerful as you. What kind of magic is this cloud of mist?"

Chen Lu really liked the job of Si Nong, and at this moment he even forgot the advice of Tian De Zhenjun, and did not try to gain credit, but instead started chatting with Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing also found it funny, because he used the Clear Eyes technique to see that the evil spirit possessing Chen Lu was holding his forehead and shaking his head, obviously thinking that this believer was not very smart.

I can't teach you! Don't ask me to do that next time, for fear that I will be infected by your stupidity!
"Master Chen, we can discuss the magic later. Right now, the enemies on the Nether Flame warship have not been dealt with yet. Brother Chen, please lend me a hand."

In fact, almost all the people had been killed, and the remaining Long Xiao could be dealt with, but Zhao Xing was still willing to give face to Chen Lu.

As long as he participated in the counterattack, at least he would get less points when deducting military merit.

Forget about gaining military merit. With so many casualties after the city was captured, we can only deduct a little, but it is impossible to increase the military merit.

Of course, if Chen Lu had held on before, it would have been a credit.

"Oh, that's right." Chen Lu quickly cast a spell.

Zhao Xing was a little surprised, because Chen Lu didn't even change his spirit to possess another one, and the attack spells he cast were also relatively weak.

He seemed to understand why Chen Lu, a priest, became the Junshu Order.

It seems that this guy likes to be the God of Agriculture and usually only worships the God of Agriculture.

"Whoo~"

The strong wind blew, and Chen Lu used the strong wind technique to blow into the interior of the warship, reaping the lives of the alien soldiers.

At this time, Pati's head and body were already separated.

He couldn't last ten breaths in Long Xiao's hands before his head was chopped off.

His eyes were open until he died.

Pati really died with regrets. He didn't go deep into the enemy's territory and only chose a grain city for a surprise attack, but he still encountered a monstrous seventh-grade genius, and two of them at a time!
"Done, this is..." Long Xiao walked out.

"I am Chen Lu, the commander of Zhenhai Army and the chief general of City No. 109." Chen Lu saluted hastily. It could be seen that Long Xiao was also of the seventh rank, and his rank was higher than Zhao Xing's.

Zhao Xing was of the lower seventh rank, and Long Xiao was of the upper seventh rank.

"The Divine Might Army, the brave captain Long Xiao."

"Brother Chen, you are not a good commander. The enemy came to raid your home, but you didn't put up any resistance."

Long Xiao speaks very straightforwardly.

From the commander's perspective, Chen Lu was clearly unqualified.

Although the specifications of this city are not very high, it is not to the point where there is no chance of fighting back.

When friendly forces appeared, he reacted rather slowly and did not seize the opportunity to lead his men forward. Although his help was not needed, it was one thing not to need it, but he did not make the decision that he should have made as the commander.

Chen Lu blushed and said, "I am ashamed."

In fact, he was not suitable to be the main general. There was someone else who was the main general of this city before, but the Zhenhai Army fought too fast and too fiercely, so many powerful generals were transferred over.

In the end, he, a seventh-rank priest, was the only one left in charge.

Chen Lu's mind was relatively simple, and he did not make any excuses in the face of Long Xiao's questioning.

Wrong is wrong, incompetent is incompetent.

"Master Chen cannot be blamed for this."

"It's because the aliens are too cunning."

Zhao Xing comforted him.

"No, Lord Long is right. It is indeed my fault." Chen Lu shook his head.

"Master Chen, don't worry about it." Zhao Xing smiled and said, "At least it hasn't caused any major disasters. Master Chen, please deal with this warship and the spoils."

Chen Lu waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, Lord Zhao, Lord Long, how dare I get my hands on this warship and the spoils?"

"Without the help of the two lords, I'm afraid I will have to be demoted."

Chen Lu said he didn't want anything.

Zhao Xing allowed him to help, which was the most he could do.

You're welcome. If he takes it seriously and wants to share the spoils, then he doesn't know what's good for him.

How could Chen Lu have the nerve to ask for it?

He didn't want it, but Zhao Xing insisted on giving him some benefits.

Chen Lu is a rare honest man. If you do him a favor, it may come in handy in the future.

More brothers mean more lives on the battlefield.

In addition, he also expected Chen Lu to send someone to drive this Nether Flame warship.

A medium-sized warship cannot be handled by one person.

He wants to monopolize the benefits, but makes people work for free. Even if Chen Lu doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, other people may say that Mr. Zhao is so unsophisticated.
After much persuasion, Chen Lu finally agreed to share 10% of the spoils to comfort his injured brothers.

"Brother Chen, please lend me some men to go to my garrison city."

"how many people?"

"Fifty men are needed."

Chen Lu nodded: "No problem!"

In fact, he didn't have many mechanical masters left. When the Nether Flame warship destroyed the magic circle, many mechanical masters were injured and some died or fled under the attack of the Blood Kui and heavy water stones.

Now is the time to quickly repair the city's magic array and strengthen its defense.

But Chen Lu still called the person over to second him to Zhao Xing.

After resting for a while.

Zhao Xing took his men on board.

"Brother Chen, see you later."

"Brother Zhao, take care."

After bidding farewell to Chen Lu, the Nether Flame warship took off with a rumble, leaped up, and entered the strong wind layer. As for the Swordfish Flying Boat, it stopped in the Nether Flame warship.

"Meow!" When the mountain cat saw Zhao Xing get on the boat, it cried out unhappily, asking why didn't you take me with you when you fought just now?

"You are still young, why are you fighting?" Zhao Xing pushed Shanmao away, "Go play somewhere else, I have something to do."

"Meow~" Aotian meowed and walked away aggrievedly.

Long Xiao walked out of the storage room of the Mingyan warship and rubbed his hands happily.

"From your looks, you've gained a lot?" Zhao Xing asked.

"That's right." Long Xiao said with a smile, "This group of Sand Tribe people stole a lot of things, and the cabin is mostly full."

"What's funny is that they put those third and fourth tier weapons, armor, and medicine boxes neatly in a pile, while other valuable medicinal herbs and treasures were piled up randomly."

"You are so blind." Zhao Xing also laughed. It's good to be blind. Isn't it a good thing for yourself?
"Of course, the most valuable thing is this Dark Flame Battleship." Long Xiao said, "It is the biggest gain."

Even if the Nether Flame Warship is sold in the Great Zhou, the price will not drop, because its craftsmanship is already up to the standards of the Great Zhou.

It may even be sold at a high price due to its unique tribal style.

"The Sand Tribe is just a small to medium-sized tribe in the Golden Feather King's Court. They can't even get a few warships together even if they sell everything they have. Now that they have lost one, they must be in pain."

Long Xiao touched his chin and said, "However, I don't recommend selling it. Your current Swordfish Flying Boat is a small boat. Although it is also a fifth-grade lower-grade ship, its value is not on the same level as the Nether Flame Battleship. The difference is too great."

Zhao Xing said, "I remember you also had a stake in Old Chen's keel warship?"

"Yes." Long Xiao said, "I usually go with Lao Chen, that is, I take that ship. Not only that, I also have a share in Liao Rulong's Dragon Head Building Ship. If there is any profit, I can also earn points without doing anything."

"I'll just take 30% of your money. I won't be responsible for the usual maintenance costs or anything like that."

"Okay." Zhao Xing nodded.

He also understood why Lao Chen and Long Xiao gave him so many things at that time.

The Five Elements Scepter is a top-grade fourth-grade item.

Mingyue Zhenjia, fourth-grade top grade.

Mo Shou jade pendant, fifth level lower grade.

The almanac, straw raincoat, cloud-stepping boots, and bamboo hat were all upgraded to the fourth-grade best quality, but he did not yet hold an official position.

Long Xiao and Chen Shijie are both people who have no shortage of money.

Now they have invested in another Nether Flame warship. It is conceivable that as long as there is a war, Long Xiao and Chen Shijie will not be poor.

"I will only take 30% of the things in the storage room. When the transfer envoy from the military world comes, you can give me the points after you finish processing them."

The transport envoy is responsible for delivering items from the military treasury to the front lines and handling the spoils of war.

If Zhao Xing, who is in charge of Junshuling, is an individual food delivery business owner, then the Zhuanyunshi is the one who is in charge of logistics.

The transport envoys’ ships were all large-scale ships, and they would travel between cities every once in a while.

"With this Dark Flame warship, it will be much more convenient for you to transport things to the front, defend, or kill the enemy yourself." Long Xiao said. "I'm waiting for you to help me get rich."

"Aren't you afraid that I can't afford this ship?" Zhao Xing said, "Besides, is there a powerful mechanical engineer in City 92?"

"Yes, Wang Ji is already waiting in City No. 92."

Wang Ji was a member of the Shenwei Army. When he was in Shiyang Cave Heaven, he was a Class A genius and had undergone breakout training with Zhao Xing.

Later in Yuncheng, Wang Ji was sent there to work with Zhao Xing for two months, so they could be said to be old acquaintances.

After the internship, Wang Ji was promoted to the seventh rank, only one level lower than Zhao Xing.

Originally, Wang Ji was the commander-in-chief of City No. 92. As the master of machinery, he was in charge of the overall situation, and the heads of various departments had to listen to him.

Three days ago, an order suddenly arrived at City No. 92, telling Wang Ji that the commander would be replaced, and he was very unhappy.

"I have done a good job in City No. 92. I have repaired the city as needed and delivered all the supplies to the front line."

"Why did the higher-ups remove me from my position as City Lord No. 92?"

"Who on earth is this second-generation official who wants me to make way for him?!"

"You want me, Wang Ji, to work for someone who got in through the back door? No way!" Wang Ji slammed the table in anger. "Either I leave, or he leaves!"

The messenger said calmly, "Do you want to hear my name first before you get angry?"

Wang Ji snorted coldly, "Why? I, Wang Ji, am a tough guy. No matter how powerful his background is, I am not afraid of him. Craftsmen can make a living anywhere! Who should I be afraid of? Who should I be scared of?"

The messenger kept silent.

Wang Ji said: "Okay, then tell me, who is so important that I need to give up my position?!"

The messenger said expressionlessly: "Zhao Xing."

"I don't care who he is... eh? Who are you talking about?"

Wang Ji's hands were hanging in the air as he slapped the table.

"Zhao Xing, your old boss, did you hear that clearly?"

"Oh." Wang Ji's hand gently dropped and touched the table. "When will he arrive? Do you have any orders for me? Do you want me to do anything in advance?"

Han Bing smiled playfully and said, "Look at your mean look. What did you say just now? Oh, it's impossible for me, Wang Ji, to work for you."

"I, Wang Ji, am a tough guy...tsk tsk."

Wang Ji said angrily, "Fuck, you dead faceless guy, why didn't you say it was him earlier? I was angry for nothing. Zhao Xing... can he be the same as others?!"

Wang Ji didn't reach the seventh rank so quickly, but he followed Zhao Xing in Yuncheng and from the fourth ring of tasks onwards, he managed to get an A rating every time. Before that, his third ring tasks were not that successful.

This meant that Zhao Xing promoted him to the rank of seventh-rank official.

Although Wang Gong was dissatisfied with other things, he was very impressed with Zhao Xing.

Han Bing said: "Did you let me speak? As soon as I said someone wanted to take your position as the commander, you exploded."

"Don't you think about it? Even I, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, am willing to give up my position. Who else has the ability to do this?"

Wang Ji didn't argue with Han Bing: "When will he arrive? Really no other orders?"

Han Bing shook his head: "No, it will probably take him three days to come."

Wang Ji rubbed his hands and said, "Three days? Okay, three days is good. Once he comes, I can save a lot of trouble, hehe."

"Look at what you have accomplished." Han Bing snorted.

As City No. 92 approached, Zhao Xing first stopped the Nether Flame warship, and then released the Swordfish Flying Boat to go and say hello, to prevent his own people from mistaking the Nether Flame warship for an enemy.

"Zhao Xing!" Wang Ji ran out excitedly, followed by Han Bing. "Hahaha, you're finally here. We've been waiting for three days!"

"Wang Ji." Zhao Xing also grinned, held the other's arm and patted it. They were old acquaintances, so there was no need to go through the formalities of bowing.

Then he looked at the people next to him and said, "Han Bing, how are you doing lately?"

Han Bing nodded and said, "I'm doing OK, but when Engineer Wang heard that you were coming to take his position as the commander, he got really mad and broke two or three tables."

Wang Ji was furious when he heard this: "Asshole! How can you slander someone's innocence! Was I targeting Zhao Xing? I thought it was someone else."

Han Bing said coldly: "That's right, after you heard that it was Zhao Xing, you put the tables together again. Look at your achievements. Can't you be as calm as me?"

"Those who have thunder in their chests but calm faces can pay homage to me... What the hell, what's up there?"

Han Bing suddenly raised his head and stared upwards blankly.

Wang Ji also looked over suddenly, and saw a huge object descending from the clouds. It had a black base, red wings, and a tail flame. When it landed, the sky was dyed red.

Zhao Xing was waving and gesturing towards Long Xiao above, indicating that he could land without being attacked by his own people.

Wang Ji and Han Bing were stunned when they saw Zhao Xing directing and waving his hands.

"Brother Zhao," Wang Ji began to stutter, his eyes burning, "Is this fifth-order Dark Flame warship yours?"

"Zhao Xing, you can't afford this kind of warship." Han Bing also stared at Zhao Xing: "Don't tell me that you stole this fifth-level Nether Flame warship halfway!"
