Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1193 Donghuang Temporary Port
Linhai County, located at the easternmost part of the vast territory of the Natlan Empire, has been synonymous with the empire's wealth throughout its long history.

The never-drying tributaries of the Duanzhou River nourish this land and irrigate thousands of acres of fertile farmland, making Linhai County known as the area with the most abundant spiritual energy and the most suitable for cultivation.

Once upon a time, in order to squeeze the blood and fat of the people, Qin Guiming, the king of Dongzhou, used tricks to force the Dongzhou sect to set up checkpoints for the outsiders Natlan who intended to enter Linhai County and collect high taxes.

This made it extremely difficult for the independent monks, mortal merchants, and escort agencies to survive.

Especially after the Immortal Death War, natural disasters and evil practitioners were rampant in Dongzhou. Only Linhai County had the protection of the permanent navy and the officers and soldiers of the state palace.

This led to the fact that for a long time, the people of Dongzhou jokingly called their compatriots who had lived in Linhai County for generations "Linhai Ye".

Of course, all of the above situations have completely disappeared since the capture of the Dongzhou Palace.

Under the strong implementation of the Xinghuo New Deal, the entrance checkpoints to Linhai County were abolished, all cities were open to the outside world, and there was an endless stream of merchants and escort teams on the official roads.

Not only did Linhai County become more prosperous than before, many merchants also smelled business opportunities and started selling Linhai County's specialties and advanced industrial products that had resumed production to other counties in Dongzhou.

The Spark Column and its officers and soldiers eliminated the evil cultivators day after day, bringing unprecedented peace to Dongzhou since the fall of the Evil King.

Many pedants in Natlan who believed that the Spark regime's forceful destruction of the prince's palace, beheading of the prince in public and abolition of the prince system would inevitably lead to chaos in East Province realized that they were extremely wrong.

The Spark regime is not immature and is simply a riot based on passion.

After the king of the state was beheaded, the Xinghuo regime proposed new local reform policies for all counties and prefectures in Dongzhou.

Countless fields were redistributed and countless resources were recycled for official allocation.

It’s not that there are no landlords and officials who want to rebel against the Xinghuo regime because their interests are violated.

But the state kings who were protected by several Yuanying masters and powerful navy were all killed. How could they dare to say "no" when facing the members of the Spark Column who came to their door?

What's more, the Xinghuo regime only confiscated their assets and deprived them of their privileges, not their lives.

As long as they are still alive and have a skill, they can work honestly for the Xinghuo regime and live a stable and prosperous life.

As for those Dongzhou sects, the officials of the Xinghuo regime also established Xinghuo offices within the sects after consulting with the ancestors of these sects.

The members of the Spark Office are all inner disciples or sect heirs who have received Spark education.

These young monks all have the ideal of serving the people and protecting the dawn.

For a young cultivator who is already extremely loyal to the sect to become a direct force under the Xinghuo regime that rules Dongzhou, this is also a great thing for the development of the sect in the eyes of those experienced old ancestors.

The life tax and the wars between sects were strictly abolished, so that if the sects wanted to obtain more resources, they would naturally have to focus on taking care of the lives of ordinary people within the sect and serving the new regime in peacetime.

Because of this, in less than a month, all the Natlan people in Dongzhou almost forgot about the king and became staunch supporters of the Spark regime that brought them peace and justice.

Will the Zhongzhou Imperial City and Yantiansi send troops to destroy the Xinghuo regime?
Anyone from Dongzhou who has seen how the Prince's Palace was destroyed would not consider this question.

Even a Nascent Soul master was turned into ashes by a thunderbolt. How could the Imperial City possibly be a match for the Xinghuo regime?
Moreover, since they have already seen the light, why would they be willing to welcome a new king?
However, all the high-ranking officials of Dongzhou counties and prefectures and the elders of the sects did not know why every policy they received was signed with "Donghuang--Lin Lan" at the end.

They all knew what Donghuang was, but who exactly was "Lin Lan"? All the Dongzhou Natlan people were confused.

To the extent that they strictly warned their disciples and officials not to provoke the person who called himself "Lin Lan".

……

Outside the city of Linhai, on the coast separated by orchards and hills, there is a beautiful garden with an antique style that looks like a paradise. This garden covers an incredibly large area, with exquisitely laid out landscapes and vegetation that is trimmed like a work of art, making it even more refreshing than the luxurious Dongzhou Palace.

On the seashore, the modern port with cranes, forklifts and mass-produced warships, as well as the dragon flags flying everywhere, explained who the owner of this garden was.

The Donghuang ship girls.

It was still early morning.

The sun has not yet risen from the sea level, and only a hint of paleness can be seen against the deep blue skyline.

In the quiet and peaceful Donghuang temporary port area, some people have already gotten up early and are busy.

A petite girl with waist-length sky-blue hair was walking towards the kitchen in black cloth shoes on the clean tiled road, carrying various fresh vegetables picked from the vegetable garden.

The girl has fair skin, short horns on both sides of her head, a long white tail swaying from side to side, and is wearing a blue and white off-shoulder loose short skirt. She keeps muttering something.

"I have the loofah and chili peppers... I can grind the tofu in the morning.

"There are also meat dishes. Should we go to the pond to catch fish today, or should we take out the monster meat we bought earlier and melt it?"

Just as the little dragon lady lowered her head and talked to herself, suddenly, a gentle female voice sounded from behind her:
"Long Wu, you are always so worried about things in the kitchen."

That’s right, this little Donghuang dragon girl carrying a vegetable basket is none other than the V-25 export-type destroyer, Longwu.

Hearing the familiar voice of his companion behind him, Long Wu seemed to come back to his senses from his thoughts. He stopped and turned to look.

Next to the bamboo forest, a tall woman in a black silk jumpsuit and a dark green gown, holding a folding fan, was looking at her with a smile and walking towards her.

The tall, black-haired woman's beautiful face was covered by a dark golden mask around her eyes, making her look like a hermit who had comprehended all things.

But even so, the mask could not conceal the elegance and gentleness emanating from the woman's every move.

1913 Navy planned battlecruiser, Huanchang.

"It's Huanchang, did you stay up all night here to tell fortunes again last night?"

Long Wu looked at Huanchang who was walking slowly towards him, sighed helplessly, and spoke with a look of concern and heartache.

The girl was not surprised by the appearance of the fortune teller. It was obvious that the two had met by chance in the early morning more than once or twice.

"Hehehe~ There's no need to tell me to rest. Divination and calculation are no different from sleep and rest to me."

However, Huanchang seemed to have guessed what this girl who loved to worry about her companions was going to say next, and smiled and took the initiative to cover Longwu's mouth.

Noticing that Long Wu still looked a bit tired, Huan Chang asked curiously:

"When I left the dormitory last night, I seemed to hear Feiyun crying. Did she get into trouble again?"

“Feiyun is so bold now!”

When Long Wu heard Huanchang mention the naughty kid, he was about to yawn and suddenly became energetic. He complained to Huanchang:
“I originally thought that after leaving Fushun, Feiyun would be more quiet without her mischievous partner, so I didn’t pay much attention to her during this period.

"But who would have thought that yesterday she actually wanted to secretly call on the Huben to run away from home and go to Nanzhou to find the commander!
"If Anshan hadn't found something wrong with the amount of ammunition and oil during the inventory at noon, and if Changchun hadn't revealed their route, they would have really escaped!"
