Chapter 193: Weaving Girl Weaving a Robe, Climbing the Flame Mountain at Night (5K)

When Jin Ming heard the number five hundred, he was stunned.

He looked at Xia Jing in disbelief: "Is the prince joking?"

Xia Jing said calmly: "I am the commander of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion. I never joke in the army."

Jin Ming's breath was held, and Dong He and Zhao Xing started to work at the same time.

Even Zhao Xing's configuration is worse than this one.

But Zhao Xing has already cultivated five hundred plants!
It’s unbelievable!
Could it be that the reason he didn't want those external aids was not to give up power, but because he was afraid that Mr. Dong was slow?
This means that they are not afraid of the Black Armor Army stealing the credit, but they are afraid that the Black Armor Army is inefficient and will slow down the progress!
Thinking of this, Jin Ming's face turned red.

They are judging others by their own mean standards!
"Sir..."

"Call me General!" Xia Jing interrupted Jin Ming directly, his expression serious: "There is no prince in the army, don't do it again in the future."

Jin Ming's heart trembled, and he immediately changed his address: "General, would you allow me to go and observe? Perhaps we can learn from their methods and improve the planting efficiency for the three armies."

Xia Jing knew that Jin Ming still had some doubts in his heart, but he did not expose it. He nodded gently and said, "You can go ahead. It would be best if you can bring the commanders of the Sinong Camp with you to observe together."

"Take a good look at how they grow it."

"Yes, General."

Jin Ming brought his men to fly from the north of the volcano to the south of the volcano to observe.

When Chen Shijie saw the friendly troops coming, he chuckled and shook his head.

He knew Xia Jing's intention to use Zhao Xing to attack the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command.

Zhao Xing had just planted a batch and he couldn't wait to go back to compare the conditions.

From the moment Jin Ming and others hurried over, Chen Shijie knew that the difference in the amount must be significant.

I just don’t know what effect Xia Jing’s operation will have.

After Jin Ming brought people over, Zhao Xing worked even harder.

My good brother asked me to help him out, so how could I embarrass him?

He immediately opened fire at full power and pushed the magic circle to its limit, making it almost impossible for Wang Ji to win.

But the effect is obvious.

Jin Ming watched Zhao Xing make one hundred fourth-order Earth Fire Lotuses grow a second time and reach the fifth-order level within one hour.

"What kind of magic is this? Why is it so powerful?"

"Strengthening the foundation? But how can a high-level strengthening foundation be so easy to describe?"

"No, if it is a high-level foundation-strengthening method, this Gongjia formation will not be able to withstand it!"

"Ninghua method? Zhejie method? They don't look like it."

"The Element Analysis Method is the most difficult and advanced Element Analysis Method among the Four Methods of the Self!"

"One hour, it's simply terrifying, how high is his realm?"

"Hitting the realm of high-level magic, is Zhao Xing really a seventh-rank minister of agriculture? This is terrifying."

The Si Nong of the Black Armor Army was completely stunned.

In order to give Xia Jing a powerful blow, Zhao Xing directly turned up the spell effect to the maximum.

Originally, his [Moment Origin] was a high-level sixth-turn spell, but with the combination of the formation set up here by Wang Ji and others, and the assistance of five hundred Si Nong, it was enough to rival spells above the seventh turn.

Even though there is only a small difference in rank, it is the difference between achieving a small level of success in magic and reaching the pinnacle of magic.

Therefore, Jin Ming and others had expressions of shock on their faces.

Compared with Zhao Xing, Dong He's efficiency is too slow.

It’s not as nonchalant as Zhao Xing’s. He just stays in the sky and waves his hands. How elegant and handsome!
Father Dong had to dive into the magma and work hard to strengthen the foundation of the Earth Fire Lotus.

Unwilling to give up, Jin Ming walked around the periphery again.

He even checked the materials used in the magic circle.

Trying to find any traces of Zhao Xing using powerful external objects to assist him.

The result made him even more depressed.

No, they are all mediocre. The magic array, materials, manpower... are not as good as those of Dong He. The overall situation is far worse.

Jin Ming left in disgrace, taking the Si Nong of the Xuanjia Army with him.

Return to Volcano North and meet Xia Jing again.

Jin Ming and the others didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Xia Jing.

They were transferred here to assist Xia Jing, and what they were proud of was their ability to cultivate treasures.

Now that they have been pulled here, they are still no match for the tiny Shenwei Army. How can they still have the face to be so arrogant?
To be honest, if Zhao Xing was transferred to the Xuanjia Army, they could be replaced directly.

Given the relationship between Xia Jing and Zhao Xing, this possibility is not impossible.

"How is it? Did you learn anything?" Xia Jing asked.

"There are always people better than you, and there are always people better than you." Jin Ming shook his head, "We will never underestimate the heroes of the world again."

"Please encourage me from time to time in the future, General."

"If you all have such aspirations, your magic realm will be able to reach a higher level sooner or later." Xia Jing smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged by a temporary setback. Now, go and prepare to transplant the fifth-level earth fire lotus cultivated by Mr. Dong."

"Yes, sir." Jin Ming took his men to do the work.

Originally, Xia Jing had no power to command them. From Jin Ming onwards, everyone obeyed Dong He's orders instead of Xia Jing's.

You should know that they used to call Xia Jing "Prince" instead of "General" because they were not satisfied with how this young man Xia Jing became the battalion commander so quickly.

It is believed that he relied on the title of Prince Xiahou.

Now, Xia Jing did not mock them, which showed that he was magnanimous.

On the contrary, he gave them some encouragement.

A person's height is determined by his words, actions, behavior, and mind.

Jin Ming and others put aside their prejudices at this time and carefully examined Xia Jing's performance since he joined the army. Whether in terms of personal ability, magnanimity, intelligence, background and connections, Xia Jing was outstanding and fully qualified to be the battalion commander.

It was from this moment that they finally submitted to this young Dragon Rider Battalion Commander.

Watching Jin Ming and others obey orders obediently.

Xia Jing looked towards the south and smiled with relief.

"Man, you've done me a big favor."

Now it doesn’t matter whether Dong He obeys him or not.

He has already taken initial control of the basic situation of the military agricultural camp. As long as he does not lead them to defeat, he will be able to establish his prestige sooner or later.

"Brother Zhao is really useful."

"Why didn't the Black Armor Army recruit him back then? Instead, they went to Ge Jinsong and Cheng Qingming to lobby for him. What a stupid move."

Xia Jing felt extremely regretful. If only Zhao Xing had been directly in his Xuanjia Army.

There is no need to make so much trouble. Maybe they have already taken over Huolong Pass.

Days and days passed, and Zhao Xing and Dong He led their men to cultivate around the Dongsang volcano for a full half month.

It was already September 13th. Dong He, who was cultivating the Earth Fire Lotus on the north side of the volcano, was suddenly awakened from his spell.

"Master Dong, come up and have a rest."

Dong He opened his eyes and saw Xia Jing: "Thank you for your concern, Prince. I'm fine."

Dong He is really a hard worker. Once he starts working, he works without sleep.

For half a month, we haven't left the lava lake and have been working in the ground.

When he was tired, he would take a nap on the spot. When he was hungry, he would roll up his own food and not ask anyone to bring it to him. He, a sixth-rank official, would eat whatever the eighth-rank officials around him ate.

Putting aside his temper, this person is still very dedicated.

Xia Jing spread his hands and said, "It's not that I have to come and care about Master Dong, it's just that the first batch of earth fire lotus has begun to be made into robes."

"The first batch is almost ready. If Master Dong is willing to continue working so hard, that's up to you."

"It's just that the people from Sinong Camp should be allowed to rest so that they can prepare for the war later."

Dong He looked at Xia Jing, puzzled: "Aren't there 10,000 copies of the first batch of materials? We have only cultivated 3,000 plants these days, and we have to keep some for seeds, and the rest will be used as finished products..."

As he was talking, Dong He couldn't go on.

He looked at Xia Jing, who seemed to be smiling, with a somewhat shocked look in his eyes: "You mean..." Xia Jing nodded: "The Divine Might Army has cultivated 15,000 fifth-level earth fire lotuses."

"Fifteen thousand plants..." Dong He muttered this number, his eyes lost in thought. "The number of people in the Divine Might Army who can raise fifth-level supplies is not much more than us. In other words, Zhao Xing's speed is five times faster than mine."

"Master Dong, don't worry about it. Anyway, the mission has come to an end now. You can rest now."

At this time, Jin Ming also flew over and landed next to Xia Jing: "General, Sinong Jiujie Camp, Shenzhu Camp, and Tianlei Camp have arrived at Zhiyou City. Tianci Camp has obeyed your order and is heading to Zhiyou City to wait for orders."

"Master Dong, would you like to come out so we can talk in detail? You've worked hard." Xia Jing said, "Jin Ming, you should also persuade Master Dong."

Jin Ming looked at Dong He and said, "Sir, please follow the general's orders and come out first."

When Dong He heard the two calls of "General", he was silent for a moment, finally nodded, and flew out of the lava lake.

Faced with the facts, Dong He chose to accept it and did not ask Zhao Xing how he was, as that would have been humiliating himself.

The stubborn Mr. Dong finally lowered his proud head and shouted to Xia Jing: "Yes, General."

He knew that from now on, the actual power of the Sinong Camp was in the hands of Xia Jing.

All this was because he was defeated miserably in the invisible competition with Zhao Xing and lost his prestige.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak~”

In the northeast corner of Zhiyou City, there is a ship parked. The frosty glass loom exudes a faint chill as it keeps turning.

Pairs of clean hands danced in the frosty glass loom, and the fiery red silk threads made from the lotus leaves of the earth fire quickly formed a piece of cloth.

Ice and fire, the two forces of heaven and earth ripple back and forth in the loom.

The Earth Fire Lotus has an extremely fiery attribute, and to deal with it you need to use the power of ice.

Weaver Huang Canying walked in the weaving machine room, checking every process.

Huang Canying is already fifty-seven years old, but for a weaving envoy of the sixth rank, this age is still very young, and she still maintains the appearance of about thirty years old.

In the Frost and Glass Loom Room, there are hundreds of weavers busy at work.

She crossed the corridor to the end and went down the steps.

Come to the basement level of the 'Weaving Ship'.

"Gurgling~"

There are more than 900 tall cylinders that look like large vats, mixed with a lot of sticky substances, and there are many fiery red lotus leaves spread next to them, all of which are of fifth-grade quality.

After taking a quick look and seeing that there was no problem, Huang Canying went to the upper three floors of the Weaving Building Ship.

At this level, it became much quieter. There were no sounds of various mechanisms, and there were fewer people. There were only dozens of weavers threading the needles.

This floor is the vestment finishing room.

Huang Canying walked behind one of the seventh-rank weavers. The eighty-ninth robe was already hung on the hanger next to this weaver.

Huang Canying picked up one of them, touched it, put it to her nose and sniffed it, then nodded with satisfaction.

“Yaoyao, your technique is becoming more and more proficient. Before the day is over, you have already woven the 89th robe.” Huang Canying praised softly.

"Teacher." Tu Yao heard the voice and immediately stopped what she was doing and was about to stand up.

"No need to get up, just do your thing." Huang Canying gently patted Tu Yao's shoulder, "After the matter of Zhiyou City is resolved, the teacher will report your achievements and introduce you to several generals in the army. In the future, you will be in charge of a Zhifa Tower ship alone, and you will have to deal with them sooner or later."

"Thank you, teacher." Tu Yao nodded slightly and then went back to her work.

Flying with his men from Dongsang City to Zhiyou City, Zhao Xing also saw the weaving ship parked in the east of the city.

At this time, outside the ship, many beautiful figures flashed, with colorful light shining on their bodies, dancing up and down the ship.

This attracted cheers from a group of single soldiers in the distance.

Now is the weaver girls' rest time. Some brave soldiers even run over to bring food to the weaver girls.

Among them is the mechanical master Wang Ji.

"Boss, when are we going to communicate with the Weaver Girls?" A Si Nong who was following Zhao Xing winked.

"Learn from Wang Gong. Under the pretext of work, he took his fellow mechanical fellows on two trips to the Weaving Tower Ship in three days."

"Che Shihai, are you going there for communication?" Han Bing sneered, "Did the Shenwei Army recruit you here just to let you see the girl?"

Che Shihai was not originally the Minister of Agriculture of the Shenwei Army, but as the war has been going on till now, the various armies have been communicating and cooperating frequently, and there have been cases of secondments and even replacements of personnel.

Che Shihai had achieved outstanding results in the straw man class and was also a Class A genius. He was from Taicangyuan and had participated in a simulated breakout exercise with Zhao Xing.

Among the agriculture officials mobilized by the Shenwei Army this time, Che Shihai from the Lieyang Army was spotted and poached.

"Lao Che, do you want to marry a Weaver Girl?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes," said Che Shihai. "Zhi Nu is capable, beautiful, and skillful. She is the perfect choice for a wife."

"That weaving ship was specially dispatched by the military community. It's a mobile battlefield weaving department, and the weavers inside are at least seventh rank, or about to be seventh rank."

"Brother, you are only an eighth-rank official. You married a Weaver Girl and brought her home. You have to perform official etiquette for your wife in formal occasions. Can you bear it?"

Che Shihai said nonchalantly: "Brother, I don't have a good appetite, I just like to eat soft rice, what's the big deal about bowing to my wife?"

Han Bing said coldly: "What if she orders you to come more often after the incident? Can you bear it?"

Che Shihai: “…”

Zhao Xing: "..."

Han Bing, you are such a talented person, your angle is so unique.

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Old Che, if you want to go, then take your brothers and find a reason to go and have a look. You've been busy for so many days, you can take a break."

"But remember, don't cause any trouble for me. There are sixth-grade mechanical beasts patrolling the ship. If you make a move and get castrated, you won't have any way to complain. That thing can't grow back after it's gone."

"How could that be possible? Am I that kind of person?" Che Shihai walked away happily.

Zhao Xing saw Han Bing was still standing there in a daze, "You're not going?"

Han Bing shook his head: "It doesn't mean anything."

Zhao Xing was surprised and asked, "Nothing interesting?"

Han Bing said: "What's the point of just enjoying the sight and talking a few words? I'd rather fight with my brothers."

Zhao Xing looked strange: "Brother, your idea is very dangerous."

Han Bing said: "That's how it is. If it weren't for the continuation of the family line and the crotch issue, I would prefer to drink and have fun with the men."

"Eh? I find that what you say makes sense." Zhao Xing said, "Since you don't want to go, then go and rest by yourself."

"What about you?" Han Bing asked.

"Of course I have to go to the meeting." Zhao Xingyi said sternly: "How can I have a family if the southern barbarians are not peaceful? How can a good man who aspires to be a noble or a prime minister be hindered by love affairs?"

Han Bing stared at Zhao Xing: "I always feel that you have other ideas, but I don't know why for a moment."

"You bastard, you have cultivated the Bright Eyes Technique to the point where you can see everything clearly, and you even dared to spy on my mental activities. I really deserve to beat you with a military stick." Zhao Xing laughed and scolded, "Go and play."

On September 13, Zhao Xing returned to Zhiyou City. As soon as he came back, he was pulled to the military hall by Liao Rulong to discuss matters.

Others can rest, but Zhao Xing doesn't have much time.

At this time, many senior military officers had gathered in the meeting hall.

"Everyone, the first batch of vestments, a total of 3,000 pieces, was completed five days ago!"

"Five days ago, after repeated verification by the scout team we sent out, the fire-proof robes made with the Earth Fire Lotus are enough for our eighth-rank soldiers to safely pass through the Flame Mountain!"

As soon as Liao Rulong came up, he announced good news.

"Now my Divine Might Army has found seven concealed routes to avoid the Fire Demon Clan's patrols along the east side of the mountain."

When the news came out, everyone was excited.

The problem of Huoyan Mountain, a mountain that cannot be crossed on a large scale, has finally been solved!

Fire Dragon Pass is no longer the only gateway to and from the Fire Demon Clan’s territory!

After many days of preparation and planning, the results finally came to fruition!
"Tomorrow the generals of each army will come to discuss and agree on a joint attack plan!" Liao Rulong said.

"But the Earth Fire Lotus was obtained by our people, and the materials were also grown by us."

"So, today, my Shenwei Army will send a team of 3,000 people to climb the Huoyan Mountain at night, sneak into the pass and seize the initiative!" Liao Rulong looked around at everyone.

"Which commander is willing to join this 3,000-man vanguard force?"
