It has been ten days since Long Jiu agreed to the old emperor to go to the Xuanwu River to fight against the Xuanwu Legion, and it has been nearly half a month since the Xuanwu Legion occupied Lingxiao City. However, except for the Zhou family army's aggressive attack at the beginning, both sides have not made any movement for more than ten days. It is understandable that the Xuanwu Legion, which is defending one side, has not made any movement, but the Shenlong Empire, who is eager to seize the city, is so calm. Even the Xuanwu Crown Prince in Lingxiao City seems a little confused and confused.

"What's going on? The Dragon Empire has always been extremely proud. How could it allow this fallen Lingxiao City to have so many days in our hands and there is no movement at all? Is it really because of the changes in the Dragon Empire?"

Sitting in the lord's mansion of Lingxiao City, Crown Prince Kettle Samuel of the Xuanwu Empire couldn't help but frown slightly in leisure. It can be said that this time he went to attack the empire, but he couldn't see through the end when he opened his mouth. He waited for more than ten days and had not yet waited for the second wave of offensive, which was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.

"Your Highness, according to the spies in front of you, it seems that the guys from the Zhou family are desperately building a large number of ships. In the past ten days, their fleet has exceeded 200, more than twice as many as before! So there is no time to attack Lingxiao City..."

The black-robed mage who had been following Samuel answered his doubts immediately, but what he said made Samuel even more puzzled.

"Build warships? What is the Zhou family army trying to do? In the battle more than ten days ago, although their warships suffered a certain loss, the number was not large. There was no need to expand the number of warships to this point, right? Unless the royal family of the Dragon Empire sent reinforcements to this side again? Humph, if this is the case, everything can be carried out according to the plan! But according to the shrewdness of the old fox, Lanrik, wouldn't be fooled so easily! This is probably a unique strategy... Didn't the spy figure out the reason why the Zhou family army built so many warships?"

"This... It is said that even the craftsmen and soldiers who built the warships were not very clear about the purpose of this move. The empire did not increase its troops, and the number of Zhou's army did not change. It is logical that so many warships were not used. Why did this be done by subordinates?

Faced with this problem, the black-robed mage Latomi was obviously confused. The Zhou family army's huge project could not be hidden from the Xuanwu Legion's eyes, but even if they knew what the other party was doing, no one on the Xuanwu Empire could figure out what was going on.

"Hmph - That old guy Zhou Hong seems to be trying to make some ideas again! Send the order and send a commando to interfere with and destroy the newly built warships as much as possible! Although I can't figure out what the old guy is thinking, there is no mistake to be careful! As long as they make useless work, they will not want to take back Lingxiao City!"

After pondering for a while, Samuel said in a deep voice with a sneer on his face. With his wisdom, he didn't understand the purpose of the Zhou family army's move for a while, but he was not a proud and complacent person. He knew that the Zhou family army must have a plan to do this. Just in case, he decided to intervene a little. However, after all, the construction of the warship was carried out on the coast and was also the stronghold of the Zhou family army, so he just sent a commando to go.

At this time, Samuel actually did not realize what kind of devastating blow the Xuanwu Legion would have to be in the near future. If he knew that there would be such consequences, he would probably send a large army to directly defeat the inconspicuous ships even if he fought his life...

After conveying Samuel's order, Latomi hesitated for a while, and still spoke softly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has urged you several times and asked you when you will go back... You are the crown prince of the Xuanwu Empire, and you are leading the team alone on such a dangerous front-line battlefield, which really makes Your Majesty feel a little worried... If you still refuse to go back, I am afraid he will send Xuanwu Guards to come..."

After hearing this, Samuel looked at the direction of the Zhou family army opposite with some reluctance and said in a deep voice: "It's been almost a month since I knew it. Damn it. According to the original plan of this prince, the Zhou family army, which had been unstable in the army, should have defeated at this time, and forced Ranrik to dispatch a large army, but they were so calm, which really surprised me! I know, go and tell my father, and I will definitely return to the palace within half a month! Wait for ten days at most. If the Zhou family army has not moved in ten days, I can only take the army back. Humph, the Dragon Empire is just like this! The next time I come, it is time for them to destroy the country!"

"That's good. I hope that the crown prince will put the overall situation first and there is no need to rush to attack the Shenlong Empire. When the time is ripe, this Shenlong Empire, which is in its incomparable years, will be dead and will be dead..."

He said this in an extremely gloomy tone, and Latomi's figure gradually disappeared in a dark aura, leaving Prince Samuel sitting upright in the room and staring at the distance, not knowing what he was thinking...

At the same time, in the camp of Zhou's army on the other side, Zhou Hong, as the commander, had no idea what he looked like. He stood in front of the army that was stormingly building ships, and was almost furious!

"What's going on? When did the army of our Zhou family become a craftsman who has made great efforts to make these craftsmen? Is there any military discipline?"

Zhou Liyang, the third son standing beside Zhou Hong, shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Father, this is no wonder they are. When you came, you directly ordered that all of us must obey the arrangements and dispatches of the Prefect Xiaoyao to meet all his needs! Ten days ago, he sent someone to pass the message, allowing us to build five hundred warships as quickly as possible, without any elaboration and solidity, only quantity, so in order to catch up with the progress, we had to let these idle soldiers help together..."

"Five hundred warships? What a joke! The Zhou family army has only a total of 300,000 troops. Even if he adds the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under the command of Xiaoyao, he will not exceed 310,000. How can he use 500 warships to carry them? Damn Long Jiu, is he clearly going to trick us??"

After hearing what his son said, Zhou Hong turned pale. He had promised to meet all the needs of Long Jiu in front of the old emperor in the court, but the war had not yet begun, and the Zhou family's family's assets had been taken out a huge piece! The phone bill required for five hundred warships was a real astronomical number!

"Hehe, father doesn't have to be angry! Although the 500 warships cost a lot, our Zhou family can still bear it. If it can really defeat the Xuanwu Legion and retake Lingxiao City, it would be fine. We will also make a contribution! If Long Jiu can't do anything in the end, he will be in trouble then, and the Long family behind him will not be able to escape it!"

A glimmer flashed in Zhou Liyang's eyes, and a smile on his face said softly.

"Not bad! Yang'er, what you said makes sense! OK! Let's see how capable Long Jiu is. He wants 500 warships, so we will build 500 for him! Then, I'll see how he fights the Xuanwu Legion! Humph--"

He nodded and agreed to his son Zhou Liyang's opinion. Although the Zhou family and the Long family do not have the same hatred as the Kong family, as the leader of the five major families, the Long family will make other families more or less jealous and unhappy. If he has the opportunity to suppress the Long family, the Zhou family will not miss this opportunity. What's more, the Zhou family is now tied to the fourth and sixth princes to jointly plan major events. The Long family, which is sincerely the old emperor, is the biggest obstacle!

Just as the father and son were thinking about how to humiliate the Long family in front of the old emperor after Long Jiu's defeat, a spy who was a little panting came from the other side, and knelt in front of Zhou Hong and Zhou Liyang, and said with a little nervousness: "Report... Report to General, Lanling City, an urgent report came from, saying that the Prefect Xiaoyao issued another order to build five hundred warships!"

"What-!? Build another five hundred ships-!?"

The father and son made such an angry roar almost at the same time. It was quite rare for Zhou Hong to have such a disobedient expression. However, this time, even Long Jiu people did not arrive, and a piece of news made him lose his due calmness and rationality.

"Bastard - Long Jiu, you are really brave! Do you want to take the opportunity to let our Zhou family spend money? OK! I will see how you ended up then! Say! That guy said nothing else!?"

After finally resisting his anger, he took a deep breath and Zhou Hong reluctantly calmed himself down and said word by word with anger!

Feeling the terrifying murderous aura from in front of him, the spy also felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. After all, facing an older generation of super masters, he was about to see the King of Hell by accident. After a long time, he said tremblingly: "He... He also said, if, if the general asks the reason for building a ship, I just want to say four words..."

"What four words?"

Zhou Hong didn't remember to ask, because this time the person who opened his mouth was Zhou Liyang who had been silent for a while.
