Chapter 258: Hai Cheng’s Combat Power
“There are currently about two hundred ordinary people, plus dozens under special observation, leaving only one hundred and fifteen who can be utilized.”
Qing Xiao distributed the roster he was holding, showing it to everyone: “There are currently 15 Supernatural Ability Users in the Base. Master is in seclusion and cannot come out, Grandmother Lin and Jian Xiu Ying cannot participate, Lu Min Feng and Tang Lei are undergoing treatment and also cannot participate, so the number of people we can use right now is not many.”
After speaking, he paused and took out another roster, handing it to everyone: “I will briefly go over everyone’s situation. If there are any errors or omissions, point them out immediately so I can make corrections on the spot. This is related to the upcoming defense deployment. Does everyone have any questions?”
“No problem, go ahead.”
Qing Xiao: “Currently, the highest Supernatural Ability Level still belongs to Han Song, an Level Eight Wind Element Supernatural Ability User. Zhou Changyi is an Level Seven Earth Element Supernatural Ability User, Wang Jin is an Level Seven Gold Element Supernatural Ability User, and Zhao Shijun is an Level Seven Lightning Supernatural Ability User. These are all from your recent examinations. Are there any issues?”
“No, it’s the same as the examination.”
Han Song and the others were sitting in a corner. Qing Xiao asked them, and then they spoke.
Qing Xiao nodded slightly and continued: “Yan Hao, an Level Six Wind Element Supernatural Ability User.”
Yan Hao: “Mm.”
Qing Xiao: “Xia Han and Gao Qiu are both currently Level Four Wood Element Supernatural Ability Users. Ma Ya Ru, Level Five?”
“Yes.”
Qing Xiao: “Sang Jing Wen is a Spiritual Cultivator, considered a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. He can currently control seventy-one Flying Swords and focuses on the cultivation of Mental Power. Is that correct?”
Sang Jing Wen: “Mm.”
Sang Jing Wen hadn’t expected the information on here to be so detailed. Xiao Yi Fei looked at what the information displayed and recalled the scenes when he practiced Sword Control Technique with him, and couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
Qing Xiao looked at him with confusion: “Do you have a problem?”
Xiao Yi Fei: “No, no, it’s just that your information is so detailed. What if the enemy discovers it?”
Qing Xiao: “They won’t. These papers will automatically burn after the meeting. During the preparation period, every corner of Hai Cheng will be monitored. Once anyone with ill intentions is discovered, the Demonic Beast Legion will act, executing first and reporting later.”
This statement also carried a threat; if they weren’t afraid of death, they were welcome to betray them.
Sang Jing Wen: “Now only Mu Xue and Min Feng are left. Mu Xue’s Supernatural Ability has not yet been examined or fully data-collected, and Min Feng is still undergoing treatment. The people we can use right now are truly few.”
There were too few Supernatural Ability Users in Hai Cheng. Including Sang Chu and Grandmother, there were only about ten people, and he himself wasn’t counted as a Supernatural Ability User.
Xiao Yi Fei, lying on his lap, rolled his eyes at him: “You forgot about me. I am now an Level Seven Fire Element Supernatural Ability User!”
Sang Jing Wen: “Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot about you. But even so, our Base only has 15 people. Excluding Sang Sang, Min Feng, Xiao Xue, Grandmother, and Aunt Jian, there are ten left.”
Other Bases had dozens of Supernatural Ability Users, but they only had ten. It seemed a bit few no matter how you looked at it.
Qing Xiao: “Don’t worry. I also have the Orcs that Master brought back, in addition to the Demonic Beast Legion.”
He took out a stack of Magic Cards and placed them on the table: “These Orcs have very strong Combat Power, but they have a fatal flaw: they extremely dislike people. Besides their own Master, everyone else is a target for their Attack. Some uncontrolled Orcs will even fight to the death with their Master, making them extremely dangerous Magic Beasts.”
Xiao Yi Fei sat up, picked up a Magic Card from the side, and looked at the terrifying portrait of the Orc on it, asking: “Are we supposed to form a Contract?”
Qing Xiao: “No, these Orcs have already been contracted by Master, so a secondary Contract cannot be formed. The risk would double, and there are few people who can control these Orcs without indiscriminately killing innocent people. Only Demon King Lord, myself, Shi Feng, and Xi Rui. Therefore, this group of one hundred Orcs will be divided equally among the four of us.”
Sang Jing Wen looked at the Orc cards and pondered for a long time, saying: “In that case, the four of you will patrol four directions respectively, serving as Hai Cheng’s second line of defense.”
Qing Xiao: “Second line?”
Ma Ya Ru took out the photographs she had taken and placed them on the table: “These Peach Blossom Trees are currently planted only outside the City Wall behind Hai Cheng, serving as Hai Cheng’s first line of defense. The fragrance emitted by the Peach Blossom Trees has a mesmerizing effect, causing people to fall asleep unknowingly and die.”
The photographs showed scenes of invaders lying under the trees during transplantation, dying in their dreams. Some had already had their legs eaten, revealing White Bones.
Qing Xiao: “In that case, the patrols at the main gate must be even more rigorous.”
Although he didn’t understand why such powerful things weren’t placed at the main gate, since they did it this way, it must have been Master’s instruction. He only needed to consider other matters based on this.
Grandma Yun Xiang: “Our Mermaid Clan and Magic Clan members, over a hundred in total, can all join the patrol team. Once the Battle Armor Legion can skillfully master the technology, the fifty Mermaid Battle Armor soldiers can form their own team.”
Qing Xiao looked at the map of Hai Cheng: “Not for now. Grandma Yun Xiang, please lead your people to clear the Deep Sea first. The Battle Armor Legion can only train for now. How about this: Xi Rui and I will lead the Orcs to patrol from the main gate from left and right simultaneously in a crisscross pattern, and Shi Feng will lead the team to guard the City Gate.”
He subconsciously didn’t dare to count Xue You, and Xue You lay to the side without speaking.
Shi Feng nodded: “Okay.”
Qing Xiao: “Invisibility Rats and other rat beasts will continue to be responsible for the Underground. Their positions remain unchanged. The aerial Demonic Beast Legion also remains unchanged. The sky and the underground will be one in the light and one in the dark. When support is needed, just issue the command. That’s all I have to say for now. Does anyone have anything to add?”
Sang Jing Wen glanced at the plan Qing Xiao had created and nodded with satisfaction: “It looks good for now. At least we now have three lines of defense. Once the Battle Armor Legion can be officially used, the Orc Legion can be withdrawn.”
Qing Xiao: “That’s right.”
Xiao Yi Fei: “Then how will the Battle Armor Legion be trained? None of us know how to use them!”
Tu You standing on the table with its chest puffed out made Xiao Yi Fei think it knew how, so he directly said: “Then I’ll leave it to you, Rabbit!”
Tu You shouted: “Why leave it to me? I don’t know how to use it either!”
Xiao Yi Fei looked at it in confusion: “Then why are you puffing your chest out so high? I thought you knew how!”
Tu You rolled its eyes at him, then swiped on its Optical Computer. A Screen instantly appeared in mid-air, showing how to enter the Battle Armor, how to use it, how to fight with it, how to use the weapons inside, and how to activate the defense system, all explained and analyzed in detail.
“With this diagram, it’s hard not to learn. However, as for the specific operations, you’ll have to figure that out yourselves~”
