Gulze raised his head, and looked at Elder Pude with a sneer, wanting to appreciate the sudden change in his face... but what he saw was a rather subtle expression.

Yes, Elder Pude's expression did change suddenly, but it was not a sign of panic, but a kind of... almost pity, with a little bit of a laughable sigh: "Well, there is a Dragon Worshiping Cult raiding the Xiahui Territory... Well, Very crucial information.”

The old man nodded and said: "Then you wait for the news. After a while, you will be transferred to Xiahui Territory - by then, you may see some acquaintances or 'familiar' people."

After finishing speaking, Elder Puder turned and left, leaving a confused look on his face.

"……What?"

In the cell, the black-haired swordsman of the Dragon Worship Cult was puzzled. He couldn't figure out why Elder Pude had such an attitude - the other party was obviously the elder of Lord Xiahui, and the one closest to him. , why didn’t you react at all to the attack on the other party’s territory?

And Elder Puder didn't even tell Ian about this immediately... He needed to remind a prophet? Ian could foresee that this group of Dragon Worshipers would attack the convoy, so how could he not foresee that the Dragon Worshipers would attack his territory?

The other party is very busy, so it's best not to disturb him.

——Then, here comes the problem.

Did Ian foresee the Dragon Cult's troops attacking his territory?

The answer is of course not.

But, this is not a bad thing.

For Ian, if he did not predict a certain 'disaster' that should be foreseeable...it actually only means one thing.

That is, the so-called 'disaster event' did not cause any substantial losses at all.

In other words, it was not a disaster at all.

Xia Hui leads.

An elite team wearing dark blue night clothes was lurking in the shadows of the building, heading towards the city center quietly.

After half a year of development and Ian's generous investment in construction, today's Xiahui City has begun to take shape.

At this time, Xiahui City is roughly divided into three parts. One is various municipal buildings and public buildings with the Clifftop Lord's Mansion as the core, such as the library and large energy furnace under construction, which are all located in the center of the city. Easily accessible from any direction, this area is habitually referred to by locals as the 'inner city', which is also the structure of almost all large cities in Terra.

The second one is to take the inner city as the core and expand in all directions to include residential areas, commercial areas, large bathhouses, theaters and other entertainment facilities.

These areas are collectively called the outer city area. Each area is divided by straight avenues and has distinct functions. There are also magnetic storm towers stationed in each area for defense.

For a team that specially sneaks in, these defense facilities are still slightly insufficient, but if there is an invasion of Warcraft or an army attack, and street fighting begins in Xiahui City, these magnetic storm towers will definitely make the enemy suffer.

As for the third one...it is the real target of this elite infiltrating team.

The ‘High-Tech Development Zone’ located in the west of Xiahui City.

Of course, this is the name of Xiahui Ling's internal documents. Even the old residents in the city will habitually call this area the 'Alchemy Workshop Area'.

In this area, there are several large-scale research institutes, covering alchemical agriculture, military development, soul alchemy, etc. The manufacturing and development departments of various common alchemical potions are also located here, which is the true meaning of Xiahui Territory. core area.

All foreign chambers of commerce who visited the High-tech Development Zone were full of praise for Xiahuiling’s planning. They believed that in addition to the technical content of various facilities in the High-tech Zone, it itself was also a very advanced urban planning.

In order to supply the development and demand of the high-tech zone, several large markets and residential areas began to be built and developed around it... In ordinary cities, the development speed will slow down at this step because the local population will not be enough. This is also very common. The development of alchemical industrialization will encounter problems.

But Xia Hui Ling was different. Mountain people from the depths of the Baisen Mountains, as well as village residents living around Xia Hui Ling, began to gather towards this big city.

In the name of the dragon god's messenger, siphoning the elite population of the mountain people, although it is suspected of sucking blood, is also a necessary step for the development of the city.

Not to mention, with the gradual popularization of the new agricultural building, the agricultural population within the Baisen Mountains will be liberated, which is another group of population resources.

All in all, under Ian's planning, Xiahui City's development is booming.

But some people are happy and some are worried... Ian is getting better and better, but Ian's enemies can't sleep well.

Feiyandi, a party that all Nanling people are very familiar with, is very troubled by the development of Xiahui City.

In Feiyandi's plan, destroying the construction of the Nanling area through mountain people's rebellion is a very critical link that is difficult to fail.

As long as the mountain people are encouraged to start a rebellion, no matter what the empire and the mountain people think, there will be bad blood between the two sides... And within the mountain people, there will also be conflicts between those who support the empire and those who surrender to them, and the mountain people will no longer be able to act as a group. overall.

Not to mention, the agriculture destroyed by them will cause a large number of mountain people to fall into famine. A large number of hungry people without food will impact other cities and villages in Nanling, causing serious riots and destruction.

As a result, Nanling Province will be completely unable to provide support to the western province of the main theater.

But who knew that the imperial nobles headed by the Marquis of Baton responded to all their actions perfectly.

First of all, Marquis Barton used his connections in the imperial capital and the power of the military to directly suppress the rebellion of the mountain people. It did not exist in the official records of the empire... In this way, the mountain people had no worries and the empire was greatly affected. You can generously say that you will not pursue it, and even reward some loyal mountain people, narrowing the distance between the two sides that has not been close for two hundred years.

In this way, Feiyandi's side completely became a clown, and instead became the lubricant for the mountain people to integrate into the empire.

The appearance of Ian, who claimed to be the Dragon God's messenger, swept all Feiyandi's plans into the trash can.

Regardless of the winner or loser, whether they support the empire or follow the Flying Flame Land, the mountain people choose to follow their beliefs - in this way, the differences between the two sides are ignored, everyone is a devout believer in the Dragon God, and internal conflicts are suppressed Next, at least slowly, it will not be like a bomb that destroys the trust and order within the mountain people.

Not to mention, the various new technologies brought by Ian, the relationship in the Great Plains of the Imperial Capital, and the cooperation with the Canaanite Moors have completely solved the food problem of the mountain people.

Today, Nanling is peaceful and peaceful. With the strong support of the Imperial Capital, a large number of military factories have been built around Nauman City. Xiahui Ling has also provided subsidies to build an entire high-tech development zone to provide a steady stream of supplies to all the mountain people in the Baisen Mountains. Supported by new technologies, a large number of industrial products are sold to mountain people at low prices. While collecting funds, it also allows mountain people who live a primitive life to enter modern society.

It is not difficult to disrupt the order of an area in the primitive tribal era, but to disrupt the order of an area where the quality of life is getting better and better... the difficulty is sky-high.

After all, who likes chaos when you have food, clothing, fun, and fun?

——The core of the problem in the western theater lies not in the front line, but in the Nanling Mountains!

——The core of the problem in the Nanling area does not lie with Nauman City, but with the mountain people!

——The core of the mountain people's problem lies not in the Baisen Mountains, but in the Xiahui Territory!

——The core of Xiahui Ling is the high-tech development zone!

This is a very stable and correct inference: the Feiyandi Special Forces believe that even if they cannot invest combat power in the Nanling area again in a short time, they must destroy the high-tech development zone in Xiahui Ling and delay the development of the mountain people. pace.

Otherwise, within a year or two at the earliest, the mountain people of the entire South Ridge will unite as one under the leadership of Ian. Under the leadership of this talented lord who has just emerged, the Baisen Mountains will soon become iron-clad. A piece of bucket.

At that time, it is not something that can be easily caused by hiring a group of Steel Winged Dragons... The empire can even lead the mountain people to cross the secret passage in the Baisen Mountains and counterattack the mainland of Feiyan Land!

But it is not easy to sneak into Xiahui City and destroy it.

Feiyandi knows that there is a third-level true dragon living around the Xiahui Territory... Although this true dragon is young, it is almost impossible for a third-level true dragon to hide its aura and lurk past it. The target is too big, so the empire's intelligence personnel will definitely know about it and be more vigilant.

But the second-level team may not be able to cause too much damage.

Just as the Flying Flame Land Special Forces were thinking about how to send a team with enough destructive power to sneak in, the Canaanite Moore Dragon Cult's actions against Ian gave them an opportunity: as long as these people start taking action, everyone's attention will be paid. The force will be transferred to Harrison Harbor!

The actions of these members of the Dragon Worship Cult in other countries have become an excellent cover to cover up their true purpose!

"So far, True Dragon Xio has not discovered our existence, and the two second-level people in Xiahui territory have also left the territory and stayed in Harrison Port... As long as we enter the high-tech development zone at this time, we will only In three minutes, we can completely destroy most of the area!"

The leader of the team, a Feiyandi spy who had been lurking in Nanling for a long time, was activated at a critical moment.

He was currently calculating the number of alchemy bombs he carried, whether they could destroy most of the alchemy workshops when detonated... The result was yes, he nodded slightly, showing a satisfied smile: "Specially choose the time when the real dragon is sleeping, no The intelligence we collected for two months was in vain!"

"We are about to arrive at the target area, everyone, please be vigilant!"

Just as the stealth team advanced silently in the shadows.

In the high-tech development zone, Adelbert, who had just finished working overtime on his own initiative, stared blankly at these shining entities in his 'netherworld vision'.

It’s a bit sluggish, so I’ll finish the second update about 10 o’clock.

The temperature has dropped sharply recently and my hands are freezing...
