The moment Wang Baole said that, Zhou Lu's breathing stopped. Although she had expected Wang Baole to deny it, she had not expected him to call her a beauty.
However, this form of address did not dissipate her anger. She snorted coldly, but she knew that now was not the time for revenge. Hence, she glared at Wang Baole. When she looked at Chen Yutong, Zhou Lu stood up and bowed.
"This must be Senior Brother Chen Yutong. Please pass me the mission jade slip issued by Ethereal Dao College." Even though Zhou Lu was from the military, she still had to be polite to Chen Yutong.
On the one hand, it was because of Chen Yutong's cultivation level. On the other hand, it was because of his background. One had to know that being a candidate for the position of Deputy Pavilion Master of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion was an extremely high status in the outside world.
Chen Yutong suppressed his inner thoughts and stepped forward to hand over the jade slip. Even though Chen Yutong's cultivation level was not as high as his, he was still polite. This made Zhou Lu have a good impression of Chen Yutong.
Especially since Chen Yutong had always been a gentleman. With his status and cultivation level, many female disciples on Ethereal Dao College's Upper Academy Island admired him. It was a pity that he was still single and did not have any connections with any of the female disciples.
Soon, under the coordination of Zhou Lu and Chen Yutong, Ethereal Dao College's mission was carried out by the military. Finally, they were assigned to a small stronghold. During the Beast Tide, they would be responsible for the maintenance of the Fire God Cannon there.
After the mission was completed, Chen Yutong, Wang Baole, and the rest walked out of the military tent with the jade slips given by the military. As for Zhou Lu, she glared coldly at Wang Baole's back and snorted again in her heart.
I, Zhou Lu, am not one to avenge private grudges. Otherwise, I would have easily skinned him this time! However, I will definitely take revenge in the future! Zhou Lu retracted her gaze and continued to deal with her official duties.
At this moment, Chen Yutong, Sun Fang, and Zhou Penghai walked out of the military tent and boarded the airship, preparing to head to the designated small stronghold. They all looked at Wang Baole. Zhou Penghai and Sun Fang didn't dare to ask, but Chen Yutong couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Baole, you must know that female officer just now. Is she also from Spirit Breath Village? Could it be that she's planning to strip you too? That's not right. This girl shouldn't have entered the Upper House of the four Dao Colleges. Otherwise, she wouldn't have entered the military so early. She must have been arranged by her family … "Chen Yutong looked at Wang Baole in confusion.
Wang Baole coughed. There were no outsiders here, so he didn't try to hide anything.
He said helplessly, "Her name is Zhou Lu. She didn't strip me, but … I kicked her butt. I remember that although she was wearing tight clothes, one side of her butt was bigger than the other. She was originally a peach, but I kicked her into a gourd …"
Wang Baole's words were very vivid and vivid. Instantly, a similar image appeared in the minds of Chen Yutong and the other two. Zhou Penghai and Sun Fang were convinced. When they looked at Wang Baole, they felt that this fatty in front of them had reached a level where they couldn't compare to him in terms of flirting.
Chen Yutong smiled bitterly. She patted Wang Baole's shoulder and said earnestly, "Baole, girls are very troublesome.
"Baole, women are troublesome. I advise you … don't provoke them in the future. They're really troublesome. This is based on my experience. You have to learn this from me."
Listening to Chen Yutong's words of experience, Wang Baole felt that something was wrong. Before he could figure it out, the group of them took the airship and arrived at the small stronghold designated for the mission.
This stronghold was built on top of a mountain. From a distance, the stronghold was completely black and looked like a huge metal semicircle. It was about a few hundred feet high and more than a thousand feet long. The side facing the primitive area was curved and there were more than a hundred branches. At the end of each branch was a circular platform. The overall appearance of the stronghold was like a spoon.
On the circular platform at the end of each branch was a huge Fire God Cannon about a hundred feet tall. In addition, there were many soldiers stationed on each circular platform. There were about a thousand of them.
Some of these soldiers were responsible for the simple maintenance of the Fire God Cannon, while others were responsible for killing the enemy when the Beast Tide arrived and preventing the beasts from breaking in and destroying the Fire God Cannon.
The reason for this design was partly because of the Fire God Cannon's own needs. Another reason was that once the Fire God Cannon was destroyed, it would cause a self-destruct force. It could not be too close to the stronghold.
At the same time, on both sides of the stronghold, there were translucent shields that spread along the mountain range to both sides. It was like a huge protective layer that prevented the Beast Tide from entering the primitive area. At the same time, it was also connected to the other two strongholds further away.
If one were to look down from a high vantage point, one would see that all the small strongholds were like dots with the seventh primary stronghold as the center. They were arranged in a huge protective light screen.
The task of these small strongholds, other than resisting the invasion of the Beast Tide, was to offset the fluctuations of the formation with the seventh primary stronghold as the center. No matter where the Beast Tide came from, the fluctuations of the formation would be dispersed within all the strongholds, thus making the formation more stable.
Every small stronghold naturally became a breach point in the eyes of the Beast Tide. Therefore, these small strongholds were equipped with Fire God Cannons. Although there were not as many as the main strongholds, there were still hundreds of them. In addition, there were also teleportation portals that could be used to reinforce or receive reinforcements at any time.
There were hundreds of small strongholds with such destructive power in the seventh primary stronghold. They formed the seventh national gate of the Federation. This made the stronghold like an iron bucket that had stood strong since the end of the Beast Tide, stopping the Beast Tide after Beast Tide.
At this moment, as the airship landed in the stronghold, Wang Baole and the others met with the commander in charge of the stronghold, a burly man with a big beard, and blended into the stronghold.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
In these three days, Wang Baole had almost no time to meditate. He spent all his time with Chen Yutong, inspecting some of the Fire God Cannons.
There were many disciples from the four major Dao Colleges who came to this small stronghold. Although combat cultivators made up the majority, there were also a few cultivators who specialized in alchemy, array formations, and other fields.
Everyone had their own tasks. As for the maintenance of the Fire God Cannons, there were more than a dozen of them, including Wang Baole and the others. They were scattered to maintain the Fire God Cannons, so there were only thirty Fire God Cannons assigned to them.
Although there were not many of them, the Fire God Cannons were too complicated. In these three days, Wang Baole had been studying and testing the Fire God Cannons. He was already shocked by the structure of the Fire God Cannons.
Each Fire God Cannon was made up of hundreds of Numinous Treasures, and each Numinous Treasure was like a component. Once the Fire God Cannon was activated, its power was not as simple as hundreds of Numinous Treasures stacked together.
It was also because of this complexity that the Fire God Cannons were unable to fix any mistakes. Therefore, Wang Baole, Zhou Penghai, and Sun Mo could only be assistants. Moreover, Armament Disciples were not qualified to repair the Numinous Treasures, so Chen Yutong was the main person in charge of maintenance.
However, Wang Baole was already capable of crafting Numinous Treasures. Therefore, in the three days of learning, his mastery of the combination Numinous Treasures improved rapidly. Even Chen Yutong was surprised. In the end, she decided to let Wang Baole take care of the Numinous Treasures alone. That way, the workload of their group was greatly reduced.
This bustle lasted for a week. When all the Fire God Cannons were inspected, repaired, and replaced, Wang Baole and the others could finally relax a little.
At this point, they had completed a small part of their task. The next step was to ensure that the Fire God Cannons operated normally during the Beast Tide.
Therefore, Chen Yutong spent most of her time making friends with the disciples of the other Dao Colleges. Zhou Penghai was also enthusiastic about this, while Sun Fang mingled with the military officers.
Only Wang Baole preferred the soldiers here to the military officers. In this week, he had discovered many times that the soldiers here were mostly of the Ancient Martial Realm. Although they were not as good as him, when they looked at him, their eyes were filled with envy and a sense of protection.
They were not there to be protected, but to protect Wang Baole. To be precise, they were there to protect cultivators like Wang Baole!
This kind of protection made Wang Baole's heart tremble violently after seeing it many times.
They were cultivators, but the Ancient Martial Realm cultivators wanted to protect him …
This was because, in their eyes, the small number of cultivators represented hope. They could not afford to lose it!
As for the cultivators who could create and repair the Fire God Cannons, they could not afford to be harmed in any way!
As Wang Baole gradually came to understand all of this, an indescribable feeling surfaced in his heart. He saw many warriors around his age, many of them covered in scars, and many of their Dharmic Artifacts showing signs of being damaged and repaired many times.
He remembered that when he was cultivating in the Dao College, they … were here fighting to the death with the beasts.
He remembered that it was these soldiers who had used their lives and blood in exchange for time for the cultivators to grow, and for the commoners to live a more peaceful life.
Therefore, after he had some free time, Wang Baole chose to take the initiative to interact with the warriors. He tried his best to repair the flaws on their Dharmic Artifacts. Gradually, because of Wang Baole's actions and personality, he quickly became familiar with the warriors.
After becoming familiar with them, Wang Baole often forgot that he was a cultivator. His interactions with the soldiers also became somewhat different.
