Chapter 338 [337] The Commander-in-Chief Was Outshone

Eastern Li War Zone.

The next morning.

"Bang! Bang!"

Incredibly dense raindrops hammered the top of the large floating wooden ship "Pingbo No. 12," creating a frantic sonata.

The so-called "floating wooden ship" is a type of wooden ship grown using the "Shipbuilding Array" to cultivate "Scale Floating Wood".

Scale Floating Wood has a thick outer layer, with toughness comparable to steel, while the interior is made of lightweight wood, with a density less than one-tenth that of water, making it very suitable for shipbuilding.

Here, it is important to highlight one key point: growth.

The specific construction process for this type of ship is as follows:

First, place a few seeds in the center of the array, then prepare a batch of special tree fertilizer, and then activate the shipbuilding array. The seeds will then sprout and grow into a wooden ship within three to five days.

The floating wooden ship itself represents the Myriad Hao Clan's superb skills in utilizing plants.

Since the Heavenly Leaf Lotus flowers under the jurisdiction of this war zone produce different materials,

and the Heavenly Leaf Lotus flowers require a large growing space and cannot be planted together, floating wooden ships are frequently used to transport personnel and materials between the different Heavenly Leaf Lotus flowers.

At this moment.

Cheng Han, dressed in civilian clothes, along with the female Mystic Master Lan Jiayao, also dressed as a civilian, plus two maids, were mingling among a group of porters.

Although this so-called "private visit" seemed a bit out of character, he held the dual positions of Legion Commander and Senior War Affairs Envoy, giving him a rather transcendent status in the war zone, and even the Commander-in-Chief would not say much.

The workers' discussions drifted into Cheng Han's ears.

"The newly arrived Warhawk Legion really takes all the advantages!"

"Ordinary people like us originally had a monthly quota of two jin of 'Longsun Rice,' but now the entire quota has been given to the Warhawk Legion."

The so-called "Longsun Rice" is a rare grain species, but it is quite difficult to cultivate.

This rice has special effects that strengthen the body, and long-term consumption can increase the probability of condensing Source Sense Imprints. This is considered a welfare benefit distributed to all civilians in the war zone.

After all, the natural environment of the Youmiao Realm is so harsh, if you don't give ordinary people a little benefit, how can you gather popular support?

"Who told the Warhawk Legion to be so powerful? They just arrived and made a huge contribution. Even the Mystic Masters are saying they are amazing."

"The stewards of the war fort have said that it's only a temporary diversion. Once the production of Longsun Rice increases, the owed quota will definitely be reissued."

Hearing this, the corners of Cheng Han's mouth curled up slightly.

Previously, he had made a request to Commander-in-Chief Jian Wanli, striving for better benefits and treatment for the Warhawk Legion, and Longsun Rice was just one of them.

With the war zone's limited resources, this inevitably squeezed the interests of others.

The workers' complaints were just a microcosm of this.

Lan Jiayao's beautiful eyes flickered, her tone implying a hint of anger: "If the Warhawk Legion wasn't guarding the skies of the war zone, I'm afraid they would encounter Flying Sword Sharks every day.

"These guys receive benefits, but instead of being grateful to the Warhawk Legion, they harbor resentment. It's outrageous!"

She lowered her voice, so only Cheng Han and the maids could hear her.

The female Mystic Master had witnessed the growth of the Warhawk Legion step by step, and had also obtained a large number of benefits from the legion, so naturally she couldn't bear to hear others speak ill of the legion.

The two maids nodded repeatedly, as if to say, "Vice Commander is right."

Cheng Han didn't take it to heart: "Human nature is like that. Naturally, they are unwilling to easily spit out the meat they have eaten."

The female Mystic Master was quite touched: "Yes!"

Just then.

A strange sound suddenly came from the bottom of the ship.

"Zzz!"

It sounded as if someone was sawing wood.

The workers panicked all of a sudden.

"The Wolf Tooth Fish are here!"

"Is the floating wooden ship going to be gnawed through?"

The "Wolf Tooth Fish" they were talking about was a common fish in this world, named for the sharp teeth in its mouth that resembled wolf teeth.

In the past, floating wooden ships frequently encountered schools of Wolf Tooth Fish when sailing, and many ships were gnawed with large holes, sinking into the ocean, with considerable personnel losses.

Therefore, for ordinary people, Wolf Tooth Fish were simply a nightmare.

Only a few seconds passed.

"Zzz! Zzz!"

The sound of sawing wood quickly grew louder and came from multiple locations on the bottom of the ship.

There was no doubt that a fairly large school of Wolf Tooth Fish had gathered underwater. Experienced people could tell that the number was no less than a thousand.

The workers became even more panicked.

Some people were so scared that they shouted.

"Where's the captain?"

"Something's happened! Captain, quickly think of a way!"

A crew member hurriedly shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't worry. There is now something called 'Sea Hawk' protecting all the航线. We will immediately call the Sea Hawk to drive away the school of Wolf Tooth Fish."

But the workers looked skeptical.

"I've never heard of any Sea Hawk!"

"Hurry up and notify the captain to increase the ship's speed to the maximum!"

In the great battle a few days ago, the Warhawk attracted the attention of everyone in the war zone. Since the Sea Hawk fought underwater, its reputation was not well-known.

The crew member explained helplessly: "The wind and waves in the inner sea are a bit rough. It's easy to capsize if the ship speed is too fast. Everyone should wait patiently for the Sea Hawk rescue."

But no matter how hard he tried to explain, the workers didn't believe him.

Cheng Han smiled slightly and whispered a sentence to a maid: "I have a way, you go and tell…"

The latter quickly walked over, leaned close to the crew member, and said something quickly.

The crew member's eyes lit up, he quickly thanked her, and then hid in the crew cabin next door.

Soon.

"Sha~ Sha~"

The noise of the broadcast being adjusted came out.

After a while.

The broadcast sound spread throughout this large floating wooden ship, which was more than sixty meters long.

"Pingbo No. 12, the Eighth Sea Hawk Escort Squad is rushing over at full speed. Please hold on for two minutes!"

"Understood! Those ghostly things at the bottom of the water definitely can't do anything to us within two minutes!"

Hearing the dialogue, the workers realized that the crew member should not have been lying, and they no longer shouted in panic.

"So there really are Sea Hawks."

"Let's wait two more minutes and see."

Lan Jiayao glanced at Cheng Han, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of admiration.

She felt that if she were in this situation, apart from using Mystic Techniques to appease people, she probably couldn't think of such a simple and effective solution.

The two maids were the same.

*

Two minutes later.

The broadcast sounded as scheduled.

"The Eighth Sea Hawk Escort Squad has arrived. We will use fishing nets to deal with the Wolf Tooth Fish!"

"Roger!"

Soon.

The "zz" gnawing sound disappeared.

At this point.

Even the workers who were skeptical about the Sea Hawk completely believed in the existence of the Sea Hawk at this moment.

Cheng Han quietly watched this scene without saying a word.

Lan Jiayao rarely showed her willful side, and actually muttered again: "If the Warhawk Legion hadn't taken the initiative to send Sea Hawks to escort them, these people might have been buried in the fish's belly. They actually had the nerve to complain that the legion occupied too many resources just now. It's too much!"

The two maids were like "human nodding machines," once again nodding wildly.

Cheng Han just smiled and didn't answer.

His eyes became a little erratic, and other thoughts were turning in his mind.

"According to the deduction results, the Flower Cloud Mother Clan is a natural ocean shepherd. If they lived near the Heavenly Leaf Lotus, the incident of Wolf Tooth Fish attacking ships would not happen at all.

"From this perspective, the Flower Cloud Mother Clan can be called a gold medal assistant. As long as they are successfully won over, the pressure on the Myriad Hao Clan will be greatly reduced.

"But how exactly should I operate?"

After a few more seconds.

The broadcast sounded again.

"Pingbo No. 12, we have launched three fishing nets, trapping most of the Wolf Tooth Fish! You can drag the fishing nets onto the ship."

"Understood! Thank you for your support!"

"You're welcome! This is our mission. We wish you a safe arrival at your destination!"

"Thank you very much! We also wish you a safe completion of your escort mission."

The expressions of the workers changed when they heard this.

Some people whispered.

"I used to be worried every time I took a floating wooden ship, but I won't have to be like this in the future."

"The situation has indeed become very different since the Warhawk Legion came to the war zone."

Lan Jiayao snorted lightly with a bit of pride: "Now you know the benefits of the Warhawk Legion, right?"

A maid echoed: "The Warhawk Legion not only guards the skies of the war zone, but also protects the oceans of the war zone!"

The female Mystic Master especially liked to hear praise of the legion, and a smile appeared on her iceberg face: "Well said!"

Cheng Han pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I have a new idea."

Lan Jiayao was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "A new design?"

Cheng Han nodded lightly: "A design for a new Mystic Weapon."

The female Mystic Master quickly said: "I'll find a quiet cabin."

At first, she didn't think much of the so-called "new idea."

Until later, she personally witnessed Commander Cheng come up with one "new idea" after another, completely changing the way of war with his own strength.

To this day, she has regarded every "new idea" of Commander Cheng as a precious treasure.

*

Inside the cabin.

On three thin metal sheets, streaks of crimson light quickly moved, melting out complex and exquisite blueprints.

Although this was just the characteristics of the Fire-type Mystic Technique and didn't count as a true Mystic Technique, Lan Jiayao and the two maids still watched without blinking.

In their eyes, this represented profound wisdom far beyond ordinary people.

Before long.

Cheng Han put down his right hand: "Alright!"

The female Mystic Master couldn't understand the blueprints and couldn't help but ask: "What is this Mystic Weapon?"

Cheng Han replied: "It can be considered an improved version of the Qinghan Mystic Weapon!"

He paused and explained: "Small things like schools of Wolf Tooth Fish can sometimes cause big trouble. I estimate that similar situations will be encountered in future wars.

"For this improved Mystic Weapon, I deliberately weakened the killing effect of the Stone Spirit Element power, and then greatly increased the killing range."

Cheng Han thought for a while and gave a quantified description: "If you throw down a new Mystic Weapon, it can kill all small creatures within a radius of five hundred meters."

Lan Jiayao looked a little excited when she heard this: "This is a very useful weapon."

What she felt more in her heart was admiration.

He only encountered the school of Wolf Tooth Fish for a short while, and he actually conceived a new Mystic Weapon. It was really amazing!

The female Mystic Master turned to look at the two maids and instructed with extreme seriousness: "You must keep the blueprints safe and never let them leave your side, understand?"

The maids nodded heavily, treating it as the most important task in their lives: "Understood!"

Lan Jiayao was still a little worried: "The blueprints are too important. I'll contact the war zone's central court and have them send someone to receive the blueprints immediately."

*

Five minutes later.

Commander-in-Chief Jian Wanli received the news.

This Mystic Overseer didn't know much about Mystic Weapon design, so he specially called in a subordinate who understood this aspect and asked, "Under normal circumstances, how long does it take to design an improved version of a Mystic Weapon?"

The subordinate thought seriously and replied: "Improving ordinary Mystic Weapons usually requires two to three grand artificers, working with at least ten artificers. It's absolutely impossible to complete it without a year.

"If the complexity of the Mystic Weapon is high, two or three years, or even longer, is not a strange thing."

Jian Wanli's expression became subtle when he heard this, and he felt like he had been outshone.

Impossible to complete in a year?

Just now, someone probably only spent a minute to complete it!
