On the Seven Towers

The transmission of more than 300 people consumed the entire output of all the crystal mines in the Tower of China territory for more than a month. This means that after several more transmissions of this scale, many factories and equipment will be in a situation where no crystals are available. Therefore, Xiao Chen's action was costly.

Even though Ji Yijun was so careless and thoughtless about many things, he felt the huge pressure from Xiao Chen.

If this operation fails or suffers very heavy losses, it will have a huge blow to the prestige that Xiao Chen has just begun to establish.

Ji Yijun, Umedada and Xiao Chen were teleported in the same batch. After walking down the teleportation array in Cypress City, Ji Yijun glanced at Xiao Chen beside him and found that although his face was calm, he had an indescribable sense of seriousness.

He said: "Xiao Chen, don't be too tight. You have already tried your best. I heard the news yesterday that we have arrived at the front line tonight. What else can we do?"

Xiao Chen said: "I know, but there are too many things, and you won't get good results unless you work hard enough. It's not like you can just wait for the results to come out and just say "I tried my best" to explain the past.

Starting from yesterday, every choice I make affects the life and death of thousands of people. It’s a lot of pressure. "

Ji Yijun said: "Tch, this is not your first time. What did you do before that was not related to the life and death of many people? Are you sure that I will give you a seat under your butt this time?"

Xiao Chen patted his shoulder and said, "You can do it, kid. I'm really comforted by you."

Xiao Chen and others walked out of the teleportation room and met an old acquaintance who greeted them, Ye Zi, who was in charge of city defense in Cypress City.

Ye Zi saw Xiao Chen and smiled and said, "Senior, oh, no, Chairman Xiao, I didn't expect you to lead the team here by yourself."

"Don't call me Chairman Xiao, senior is very good." Xiao Chen said.

Ji Yijun said: "Xiao Chen can't worry about your work. He must come to inspect it in person before giving up."

How could Ye Zi be deceived by him? He retorted, "I think it's more like I'm worried about you."

"It's right to say I'm not worried, but I'm not sure about my plan. Take a look with your own eyes, and you can solve the problems discovered in time." Xiao Chen said, "What's more, I am also a great magician now, and I can defeat the enemy alone. There shouldn't be any problem with a small team. With one more of us, the certainty of stopping the enemy will naturally be that much greater."

"It's really a new chairman and a new atmosphere. I never thought that the chairman of the committee would come to fight alongside me." Ye Zi said.

"As the acting chairman, I can't sit quietly in the office and wait to read the report. In the future, you will definitely have more opportunities to see me outside Hewan New City than in the city. I I would rather be a wheel than a rubber stamp." Xiao Chen laughed at himself, "Speaking of which, after I informed you of the information yesterday, how are you going to inform the various villages and towns?"

Ye Zi said: "Since you gave us the action plan yesterday, we have arranged manpower to send notices to the village committees of each village. To be honest, according to the correspondents, most of the villages still feel unsure and are very worried about what the imperial people will do. Their village was a disaster.

In the larger villages, the militia teams are well established. We sent politically qualified and technically competent veterans to serve as guards representatives and militia captains, and basically built a militia team ranging from two squads to one platoon. Starting before the battle, they basically have to practice four or five times a week. The equipment is also generally equipped with air guns, and there are live ammunition training every week.

If a dozen sick Imperial warriors attacked a village like that, they should be able to handle it themselves.

But those small villages do not have such conditions. Originally, the population of those villages was small, and there were few young and middle-aged people of working age. Women were often recruited to serve as militiamen, and it was not always possible to form a squad. The smallest village might only have one militia captain and three or five militiamen, because the work was relatively difficult. Heavy duty, so lack of training time, these people's combat effectiveness is also very limited.

In fact, when some villages heard about such a situation, they wanted to evacuate the whole village. Our correspondent comforted them by saying that we would send teams to station in their villages, but even we ourselves were not sure how many people would be stationed there.

When I saw the teams you brought here today, there were actually several mages in each team. Even I didn't expect this. If a team like yours is sent over, those villagers can feel at ease. "

Xiao Chen said: "It seems that the villages also need our people to stabilize the situation. I plan to allocate the villages and teams immediately. Our teams set out overnight. The sooner we arrive at the villages, the sooner we can calm the people. "

"Okay. But..." Ye Zi looked at Umedada and the others, "Are these children also here to protect the village?"

Ji Yijun said: "Hey, how did you know? Don't you think they are too young?"

Ye Zi said: "It's not too young to say young. If you have dealt with the militiamen in the village, you will find that there are many half-grown men like this."

Ye Zi arranged the soldiers here, and the blocking teams that were teleported were taken to a square outside the teleport room in batches. Torches were lit around the square, and crystal searchlights were also arranged. A large number of tables and chairs were placed in the middle of the square for the soldiers. Let's rest. There is also hot food and water around so that everyone can replenish some energy here.

She brought Xiao Chen and his party to an office where seven or eight people gathered and sorted out the information of various villages and towns.

Ye Zi pointed to a large map on the wall and said, "Between the north of Baishu City and Suero, there are a total of 37 villages under our control. Another five villages are still in the hands of local nobles. We don't have the energy to deal with them now. The other three villages are now in a state of autonomy. They are all villages formed by free people or slaves who escaped from the noble territory. They don't pay taxes to others and basically live a self-sufficient life, so they are also more resistant to our rule. How should we deal with these villages?"

Xiao Chen saw that villages of different natures were marked with different colors with small flags. The red ones are the villages they control, mostly around Baishu Town or close to the main road. The noble affiliated villages marked in blue are often bordered by the territories of other great nobles, and the autonomous villages marked in green are mostly in remote areas.

He said, "Of course, we will give priority to protecting our own villages, but for the other two types of villages, this is an opportunity to control them."
