It was only when Yang Rui used the Flying Carpet that he realized how amazing it was. As expected of an Earth-grade item, even though it was flying three feet above the ground at an extremely fast speed, Yang Rui was still able to sit cross-legged on it steadily. It was no wonder that Zhang Jiao, who had fainted at the last moment, was still able to fly a distance of two to three counties without any accidents!
The only flaw was that the Flying Carpet consumed a lot of Inner Strength. It would consume 200 Inner Strength for every 15 minutes. With Yang Rui's current Inner Strength, he could only use it for two to four hours. It was not enough for Yang Rui to return to Mountain Town.
Fortunately, when Yang Rui asked Zhang Ning for the Flying Carpet, the meticulous Zhang Ning had already considered this point for Yang Rui. She had even lent the Violet Gold Formation Jade Talisman to Yang Rui to provide the power source for the Flying Carpet. She had also personally activated the Formation Jade Talisman for Yang Rui.
Using the Formation Jade Talisman for Inner Strength Techniques below the Intermediate Level carried a certain degree of risk. Zhang Ning's action showed how meticulous she was. Naturally, Yang Rui had noticed her actions. Putting that aside, the combination of the Flying Carpet and the Jade Talisman of Formation was perfect. All Yang Rui had to do was to control the direction of its flight. It could be said that he had enjoyed a high-quality flight in the game. Zhang Jiao must have done the same when he was escaping.
After activating the Flying Carpet, Yang Rui controlled the direction of the Flying Carpet and headed towards the southeast of Gold City. After about eight hours of flying, Yang Rui finally found a usable teleportation circle in Haomen County, southeast of Gold City.
The rest was simple. He could teleport to Juping County in an instant. However, Yang Rui chose to teleport to Dong Ah County first. After all, it would not take much time. Now that they were about to face a strong counterattack from the Western Qiang Army, Yang Rui wanted to try his luck and see if he could find Cheng Yu. If he could get his help, the difficulty of the quest would be reduced by half.
However, after Yang Rui paid a visit to County Magistrate Chen, he found out that Cheng Yu had not returned for two days. Yang Rui could only leave in disappointment. He then teleported to Juping County through the teleportation circle.
With the Wind Flying Carpet in hand, Yang Rui felt like he had arrived at home after arriving at Juping County. With five times the speed of a horse, Yang Rui only spent a little more than a quarter of an hour to complete the journey that would normally take him four hours by carriage! At this point, Yang Rui had only spent less than four hours to reach Mountain Town from Yue Capital.
"My Lord, I have not used the 41 sets of basic Neigong Mantras and special skill books that you gave me a few days ago. Among the 41 candidates, the one with the fastest leveling speed is only at level 22. Even with the help of the other 10 Beginner Level Generals, it would still take at least half a month to reach the required level of Level 30! Therefore … "
The moment Yang Rui returned to Mountain Town, he hurriedly called for Wang Hai, Zhang Tian and the rest. He then started a discussion at the checkpoint of Ao Lai Valley. When Yang Rui expressed his intention to return, Wang Hai immediately started talking about the Beginner Generals.
"Elder Wang Hai, don't worry. I only brought some Fourth Grade Archers and Close Combat Soldiers with me this time. As for the Beginner Generals, it would be best if there were any.
When I went to raid the Western Qiang rebels, I only brought a large group of beginner generals with me to deal with a specific type of soldier. At the same time, it was to better utilize Zhang Ning's abilities. Now, they are mainly used to defend the city. I believe the twenty beginner generals I brought with me should be enough, along with some Fourth Grade melee infantry. "
Yang Rui then explained the current situation of Yue Capital to Wang Hai, Zhang Tian and the rest. At the same time, he also wanted to hear their opinions.
"My Lord. Previously, I found a blueprint of the Egyptian civilization in the market – Auxiliary River. It was similar to the structure of the Great Han Dynasty's moat. Back then, as the area around Mountain Town was not suitable for building such a structure, and the price of the listing was too high, I did not buy it. Today, I heard from my Lord that we need a similar structure to defend against the Western Qiang rebels. I think it is more suitable for the terrain of Yue Capital. "
After everyone understood the general situation of Yue Capital, they indeed gave some useful suggestions. Among them, the 'Auxiliary River' blueprint that Chi Zhong mentioned attracted Yang Rui's attention. He went with Chi Zhong to the market to see if the blueprint was still there.
Fortunately, they were able to find the blueprint in the market and bought it for a hundred gold coins.
"Auxiliary River Blueprint: Egyptian Civilization Blueprint (Special). Use: A Auxiliary River can be built within ten kilometers (20 miles) of the territory to draw water to aid the territory's defense. The width of the river is 100-500 meters. Construction Requirement: The territory is within ten kilometers of the territory. There are water sources nearby that can be used to draw water. Stone materials required are no less than 10000 cubic meters! "
After Yang Rui checked the attributes of the blueprint, he immediately stored it in his backpack. He also felt a little more confident in his heart.
The 'Auxiliary River' blueprint was suitable for the terrain of Yue Capital. The surrounding half-moon lake could be used to draw water from the Auxiliary River. After it was built, the only undefended city gate and city wall on the east side of Yue Capital would also have something to rely on. In this way, there would be another layer of defense!
At this time, the role of Mountain Town's supermarket was also displayed. The 'Auxiliary River Blueprint' did not belong to the three civilizations, nor did it belong to the surrounding civilizations. Only when the market reached the level of a Super could this transaction be completed!
In the process of looking for the 'Auxiliary River Blueprint', Yang Rui also noticed some other blueprints on the long list in the market. Among them, there were two basic city wall blueprints and a basic checkpoint blueprint.
Although Yang Rui did not need these blueprints at the moment, it was very likely that he would need them in the future. Therefore, Yang Rui once again told Chi Zhong to pay attention to the blueprints on the list related to defensive buildings. If the price was within the normal range, he could buy all of them!
Previously, according to Yang Rui's instructions, Chi Zhong's attention had been focused on horses, food, wood, and a few other areas. Yang Rui did not make any special requests for other areas, so Chi Zhong paid less attention to them. However, defensive building blueprints could not be found in the system shop for the time being. Players could only obtain them through killing monsters or completing quests. Therefore, they were relatively rare. After buying them, even if they did not need them in the future, there was still room for them to increase in value.
At the same time, Yang Rui also noticed that there were quite a few items like 'Regional Storyline Quest Appraisal' on the list in the market. Yang Rui also advised Chi Zhong to pay more attention to these items when they came across them. If the price was normal, he could buy them! In Yang Rui's hands, there were still quite a few Storyline Quest Appraisal for the [Battle of Nan Yang] and [Battle of Guang Zong]. If he bought more, he could use them to exchange for accessories and pendants.
Storyline Quest Appraisal could be exchanged for War Medals and War Equipment Sets. Both of these items would be very popular in the future. In his previous life, there were many players who would spend thousands or even tens of thousands of real world dollars just to obtain a Bronze or Black Iron War Equipment Set!
Because the defensive situation of Yue Du City was not optimistic, and time was tight, Yang Rui returned to Western Liang in the middle of the night after obtaining the 'Auxiliary River Construction Blueprint' and the 10000 cubic meters of stone needed for the construction. He also mobilized 800 Fourth Grade Archers and 600 Fourth Grade Melee Warriors.
The journey back to Western Liang was not as smooth as before. In the first half of the journey, Yang Rui rushed from Mountain Town to the county and then took the teleportation formation to Haomen County. However, after coming out of the teleportation formation in Haomen County, Yang Rui had to use his own strength to control the Taoist magic flying carpet! Although he had the Formation Jade Talisman in hand, Yang Rui's mental cultivation method was still in its early stages. Rashly activating it would be dangerous, and if any accidents happened, it would waste even more time!
Before this, Yang Rui had made a rough calculation. With his 3200 points of internal energy, he could only control the flying carpet for about 4 hours. The journey from Haomen County to Yue Du City would take at least 6 hours. In between, Yang Rui would have to stop to recover and replenish his internal energy before he could control the flying carpet again!
Because of this, and the fact that he had to guard against the Western Qiang rebels during the rest, Yang Rui spent a total of 12 hours on the journey. By the time Yang Rui returned to Yue Du City, it had already been a day and a half since he left. At this time, Yue Du City had already endured 4 waves of attacks from the Western Qiang rebels, and was currently in the midst of the 5th wave!
Yang Rui happened to arrive just in time for the two thousand Western Qiang rebels to surround the east gate of Joy City. The strongest of these soldiers were only Third Grade. Yang Rui's six hundred Fourth Grade infantry and eight hundred Fourth Grade archers ambushed them from the rear. Coupled with a pincer attack from both inside and outside, the Western Qiang rebels were wiped out in an instant and were quickly wiped out.
"My Lord, Ning, Li Dong, and the others have resisted the Western Qiang rebels for a total of 5 times. They have killed over 7000 Western Qiang rebels and obtained over 1500 Second Grade skill books and equipment sets, over 300 Third Grade skill books and equipment sets, and over 820 gold coins. As for the rest of the items …"
Zhang Ning, Li Dong, and the others who were guarding the city saw Yang Rui return. Naturally, they welcomed Yang Rui into Yue Du City and reported the situation of the battle while Yang Rui was away. The two armies then worked together to clean up the battlefield outside the east gate. Yang Rui and the others then started to discuss the construction of the 'auxiliary river'.
There were already 10000 Liegeman in Yue Du City who had relatively good Physique that Zhang Ning had turned into First Grade Yellow Scarf Soldiers. The remaining ten thousand Liegeman were mostly women, children, and the weak. It would be difficult for them to complete the construction of the 'auxiliary river'! At the very least, the progress would be extremely slow!
"My Lord, there is no need to worry. The 10000 Yellow Scarf Soldiers can also participate in the construction. Not only that, but as long as they are not Yellow Scarf Soldiers, they can participate in the production and construction, regardless of their grade. "
Zhang Ning quickly dispelled Yang Rui's worries while he was having a headache.
