Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Zhou Xu had long been considering the area of ​​the fortress.

Pingyuan City was originally a city. After it was converted into a fortress, the area was a bit too large. This would actually increase the pressure on the garrison.

Appropriately reducing the circle by two to reduce the floor space is just right.

While talking, Zhou Xu simply clicked on the design drawings and discussed it directly with the engineering team leader on the wall.

"Oh, by the way, during the design, a special area was designated for building a farm, which can raise livestock and cultivate land."

The engineering captain was confused when he heard this. He didn't know why their Majesty wanted to set up a farm in the military fortress.

But he has learned to be smart now. Anyway, he will do whatever His Majesty says and that will be it.

On the contrary, Shi Lei had some thoughts after hearing this instruction.

Just like when he was stationed in Anling City and was besieged by Liang's large army, if there was not enough food in the city at that time, he would inevitably fall into passivity when formulating tactics.

This situation will only become more serious in New Taipei District.

After all, the New South District's rear areas have sufficient supplies, and military support can also be deployed in a timely manner.

Looking back at the New Taipei District, it can be said that it is currently in a state of exhaustion and is still far away from the New South District. Before the homing pigeons are trained, even information between the two areas cannot be transmitted in a timely manner.

To put it simply, if something goes wrong, they will most likely have to save themselves.

Under this premise, the area of ​​​​Pingyuan City is there. If the area of ​​​​a city is completely converted into a fortress, there is no need to use so much. We can simply set aside a part to build a farm, grow some good food, and raise some chickens and ducks. Livestock such as pigs.

On weekdays, they can subsidize some food for the inside of the fortress, but at critical moments, they can even provide food for themselves. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.

After that, Zhou Xu walked around briefly, perfected his ideas for renovation, and then rested in the mansion arranged by Shi Lei.

Zhou Xu, who had been speechless all night, had basically been busy all day, and had also consumed a lot of the power of the mantra for giving Shi Lei the mantra to reconcile Liancheng. He fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow and slept until dawn.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xu and Xie Liancheng did morning exercises together, and by the way, Xie Liancheng checked out his leg lift.

After the fight, Xie Liancheng nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, that's right. You are good at playing elementary school stuff. It depends on whether you are willing to learn."

Jie Liancheng looked quite emotional when he said this.

Unlike me, no one would think that Zhou Xu was not smart since he was a child.

If he was not smart, would he be able to hand in half a blank paper and still pass the exam?

But at the same time, he was extremely willful, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do something like handing over half a blank paper.

For Zhou Xu, if he doesn't want to learn something, he just doesn't want to learn it, and if he's not interested in something, he's not interested in it. It's no use pressing his head and asking him to look at it.

"You can learn the big frame now. Of course, if you just want to strengthen your body, it's enough to get to this point. It depends on yourself whether you want to learn from it in the future."

Faced with this problem, Zhou Xu didn't think much about it.

"Just study, you've already learned this, you might as well finish it."

"Okay, I'll give you a call first, and you'll see what you think."

As he spoke, Jie Liancheng had already put his posture into full swing.

Different from the leg raise frame, this big frame does not follow the leg lift movement after each pose, but is changed to a follow-up step. The steps and range of movements are larger than the leg raise frame.

During practice, Jie Liancheng lunge and sit with legs. In each posture, the buttocks are lower than the knees, and the entire center of gravity is pressed very low. When advancing and retreating, one leg is in a squatting state, and the two legs are used as one leg at a time.

Zhou Xuguang was watching from the side and could feel that this big fight was much more tiring than the leg lift.

Just as he was thinking this, Xie Liancheng had finished his set, closed his fists and spoke.

"The big frame is a boxing frame based on the leg-raising frame. It is used to improve one's skill. The deeper the skill, the slower the fight. To put it bluntly, the slower the fight, the more tired you will be, and the higher the requirements for physical fitness."

On the way to martial arts, although Xie Liancheng himself is a talented player, he is surprisingly easy to understand when teaching others.

Of course, this has something to do with Zhou Xu's strong learning ability.

After going back and forth, Zhou Xu had initially mastered the methods of the big frame. From then on, he practiced by himself every day as before. When he was almost done, he came to Jie Liancheng to upgrade the skills and that was it.

After a new day's morning exercise and breakfast, Zhou Xu, Shi Lei and the others met and then rode a carriage towards the outside of the city.

What they have to do today is very simple, that is to test the strength of the green-skinned skeleton soldiers in the Hundred Refining Realm.

For this reason, Li Tie also came together.

In this test, Li Tie's positioning was very simple. He was responsible for fighting the green-skinned skeleton soldier.

At first, Xie Liancheng was eager to take over the testing job, but was rejected by Zhou Xu.

This green-skinned man had not defeated him when he was alive. Now that he has been transformed into a skeleton soldier, his combat effectiveness has been reduced, and he can no longer use his mantra methods, let alone be Jie Liancheng's opponent.

If Xie Liancheng is asked to test, there is a high probability that they will not achieve the test results they want.

So Zhou Xu selected Li Tie and asked Xie Liancheng to stay in the city to take charge, in case several senior generals were not in the city and no one could stabilize the situation in time if something went wrong.

When we got there, there was nothing to prepare.

The job of controlling the green-skinned skeleton was naturally left to Shi Lei. As for Zhou Xu himself, he was just here to watch.

[Skeleton soldier control! 】

Driven by the power of the mantra and accompanied by a 'click' sound, the green-skinned skeleton quickly stood up.

He had seen with his own eyes how fierce the green-skin in front of him was when he was alive, and besides, their Majesty was watching the battle next to him...

Holding the wooden stick for testing in his hand, Li Tie felt really a little nervous.

Compared to Li Tie, who was in a nervous and complicated mood, Shi Lei focused more on the consumption just now.

[This skeleton is indeed extraordinary. The mantra power consumed to pull this one up is enough to pull up twenty or thirty ordinary skeleton soldiers. 】

Skeleton soldiers are also divided into strong and weak ones. Basically, the stronger the skeleton, the higher the mantra power it consumes.

Shi Lei's discovery at this time can be said to have proved the strength of this skeleton soldier in disguise.

Without any delay, Shi Lei controlled the green-skinned skeleton soldier to pick up the wooden stick, and then rushed directly towards Li Tie.

That step was taken, and the speed of the sudden advance immediately surprised Zhou Xu next to him.

"Good guy, not only can this skeleton run fast, but its speed is not inferior to that of a human soldier sprinting at full speed!"
