Chapter 198: Tower!Tower!!Tower!!
The menacing, murderous, and seemingly sinister rebellion finally ended abruptly in a quarter of an hour in a ridiculous way. \\。 qb5、coM
Han Xin controlled Jianmu, this heaven and earth spiritual root is indeed worthy of the ancient pillar of heaven, and the strange power it has is simply shocking. All kinds of mixed aura were sucked into Jianmu, and under the control of Han Xin, it turned into a turquoise downpour with bright fluorescence, nourishing the elite warriors in the witch circle who were injured by the shock wave generated by the nuclear bomb explosion. Countless warriors instantly recovered to their original state, clenched their weapons, and faced the rebels. Subsequently, Han Xin did something similar to the four divine beasts that guarded Jianmu that day - she conjured up hundreds of millions of warriors gathered by spiritual energy and joined the battle group.
The rebels were defeated and lost, and they were all captured alive by Taiyi's unrelenting order, which became the material for making a complete sanity witch puppet.
Subsequently, on the staggering Doom Fortress that swept through the sky, Andor and Thor once again wisely manipulated the self-defense weapons in the Doom Fortress, blasted one of the White Ant's henchmen into pieces, opened the heavy floodgates everywhere, and let the great witches of the Hidden Witch Temple pour into the Doom Fortress and once again control the Doom Fortress!
In exchange for the plan of the Zhentian Tower, which swore a blood oath to cooperate with the Zhentian Tower, Andorra and Thor, who had a very debatable position in this rebellion and regained control of the Doomsday Fortress and were worthy of torture, once again escaped the punishment of the Zhentian Tower, and became the deputy superintendent of the Zhentian Tower project, becoming Xia Jie's deputy.
Yi Hao and the other Nine Heavenly Weather used some secret method to escape and disappeared, and their clansmen were thrown into prison by the angry Xu, and all of them were secretly beheaded three days later, and a group of loyal and reliable witches were selected by the royal court to replace their identities and take over the title of the Nine Heavenly Candidates. Since then, his power has risen dramatically, and at least in terms of secular power, no one can compete with him.
And the white python, the white python that caused all this just left a secret letter that would vomit blood in anger, and then drifted away, not knowing where to go. At the same time, he issued a top-secret arrest document to the Kyushu Prefecture of Great Xia and the thirty-six states in the sea area, as well as the major subject countries and clans, promising that once someone could catch the white antad, he would be knighted by the weather. It seems that since the ascension to the throne, the team of the Great Summer Weather has expanded several times, and according to this momentum, the team of the Heavenly Weather will continue to expand.
When the dust settled, the temporary rebellion did not damage Great Xia in the slightest, and Great Xia's huge state apparatus began to run at full speed around the construction of the Zhentian Tower.
The first to be affected by the Zhentian Tower were the people of the 36 states in the sea area. The officials of Great Xia promulgated a new law in the thirty-six states of the sea: the more people are meritorious, and the more they are born, the greater the merit. Families with only one child will be severely punished. Families who give birth to more than three children will be rewarded today. If a couple gave birth to more than ten children, they would have the same status as the commoners of Great Xia.
Then, a disturbing rumor circulated secretly among the people of the thirty-six states of the sea. Everywhere there are young people from the age of ten to twenty who have secretly disappeared. From the easternmost East Pole State to the westernmost Haizhou, spanning a vast territory of hundreds of thousands of miles, it is impossible for ordinary people to cover such a long distance in a lifetime, but similar rumors are almost universal.
As the number of missing young people continued to increase, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and gradually there were outrageous rumors that the officials stationed in the thirty-six states of Great Xia were devils who ate human flesh and drank human blood. Subsequently, with a large-scale purge to purge the remnants of the Hairen, as a large number of people were thrown into prison or sent directly to Daxia as slaves, these rumors disappeared almost at the same time, and no one dared to mention such a thing again.
Disappearances continue to occur, and it is not only young men who are missing at this time, but also many beautiful girls who have joined the ranks of the disappearances. It's just that no one dares to talk about such a thing.
The people of the 36 states in the sea suddenly found that their taxes and labor were much heavier. In the days when the sea people ruled them, they only needed to give one of their income to the Poseidon Temple, and gave eight cents of the income to their lords, and the harvest was enough for these people to live in peace. But with the progress of the Zhentian Tower, these people were shocked to find that the officials of Great Xia demanded that they hand over half of the grain harvested in the fields!
The increase in labor was due to the large amount of grain accumulated in Great Xia, and the people of the thirty-six states had to open up a large amount of wasteland. They burned mountains and forests, destroyed grasslands, and carved out patches of farmland to grow food, and eighty percent of the harvest from these newly opened farmlands would go to Great Xia.
Xiang Liurou, the lord of a state, in order to plunder more wealth as soon as possible, desperately captured the people to open mines, cut wood, pick precious spices, pearl diving, collect rare animal bones, and so on. Especially in Xiang Liurou's territory, one out of every four people was invested by him in agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and other industries owned by the Great Xia court.
Under the terrible force of the Great Witches, the people of the 36 states in the sea area did not have the slightest ability to resist, they could only silently endure the more and more cruel oppression and silently struggle for their lives.
The people of Daxia and Kyushu were also required to hand over more food and money, and at the same time, because the number of deaths and injuries among the craftsmen in the construction of the Zhentian Tower was extremely heavy, and batches of craftsmen continued to be mobilized from the people. The people are sensitive and reserved, and they only know that their lives are suddenly sad.
Those vassal states and tribes under the wings of Great Xia had an even more difficult life. Tribes like Shang Tang, who have good personal relations with Zhu Gui, can be said that other vassal countries and tribes are also helpless to offer more livestock, grain, craftsmen, and more precious items such as jade, pure gold, silver, and bronze.
In Xia Jie's superintendent's mansion, new yamen such as 'Meiyu Division', 'Pure Gold Division', 'Liangyin Division', and 'Refined Copper Division' were newly established. From the names of these new yamen, it is clear that their only task is to go to various vassal countries and tribes with the edicts of the Emperor, and ask them for more beautiful jade, pure gold, and other things.
The amount of witchcraft materials such as jade and pure gold consumed by the Zhentian Tower is a terrifying astronomical amount. The treasury and inner treasury that Great Xia had emptied for thousands of years were only a drop in the bucket, and they were not of great use at all. Therefore, it took almost three days to issue an edict urging to various subject countries and clans, and even to the major witches, and each edict stipulated a standard number, if it was impossible to offer these materials, whether it was the lord of the country or the patriarch, they would be killed on the spot, and a new person would be chosen to replace them.
For a while, the subordinate countries and clans of Great Xia changed color when they heard the name of the Governor's Mansion, and when they saw the unique lilac robes of the messengers of the Governor's Mansion, even the lords and patriarchs of the country were so frightened that they fainted to death. The oppression is too cruel, and these subordinate countries and clans have been forced to almost run out of oil. And as some officials of the Governor's Mansion filled their pockets and secretly withheld those beautiful jade, fine gold and other things, it made the people's resentment boil, but this voice could not reach the ears of Xia Jie or even Xia Jie.
Jade, pure gold, silver, bronze... For the sake of these materials, tens of thousands of subject states and clans in Great Xia almost went crazy. They frantically sent their witches to survey the land, uncovering layers of rock formations and looking for new veins. Sometimes, the discovery of new veins in some sensitive border areas can even trigger a war between two or even several small countries. In the past, such disputes could often be resolved through negotiations.
Xia Jie, who was on the construction site of the Zhentian Tower, didn't know anything about these things, he just mobilized various materials according to the progress of the project, so that the progress of the Zhentian Tower would not slow down. As for the dirty activities of some departments in the huge and complex structure of the Governor's Office, he was not from the Anti-Corruption Bureau in his previous life, so he did not have any understanding of these things at all.
He didn't know, because the persecution of some of his subordinate officials had already killed hundreds of people alive -- and they were all at the level of the lord of the country, the patriarch, and even the elders of the countries and clans. How did he know that he had become the most hated object of those countries and tribes, just like the Footsteps.
At this time, Xia Jie just floated at the same height as the Zhentian Tower every day, watching those craftsmen work hard under the supervision of the great witches. Occasionally, when there was a shortage of materials, he would use his seal to strike on a certain document and send an official to urge it.
The current Zhentian Tower, which is nearly 1,000 miles high, is growing rapidly to the sky at a speed of about 100 miles a day.
There is a huge space with a diameter of 100 li and a height of more than 300 li under the base of the Zhentian Tower, and the building wood is in that hollow. Countless great witches guarded the place, and at the same time manipulated Jianmu to use the aura they absorbed according to their wishes.
Countless heaven and earth aura was sucked into Jianmu, and then straight up into the Zhentian Tower, under the control of the great witches, a piece of boulders harder than steel appeared out of thin air above the Zhentian Tower, all the craftsmen had to do was to neatly build these stones that appeared out of thin air, carve out complex witch array charms and dense magic power circulation channels on the stones, and fill these channels with the liquid juice of precious metals such as pure gold and silver combined with bronze, and bury huge pieces of beautiful jade in the eyes of the array.
Every mile high, Zhentian Tower has to erect such a huge witch array with a diameter of more than 900 miles. Each witch array has to consume countless jade and other materials, according to the scale of the Zhentian Tower is nearly a million miles high, such a witch array has to be erected in total, how many valuables need to be consumed, Xia Jie didn't dare to calculate this number at all.
The Zhentian Tower is nearly 100 or even 200 miles high every day, and the erection of a layer of witch arrays requires 50,000 craftsmen to be busy for nearly three months.
Therefore, the Zhentian Tower was raised layer by layer, leaving a layer of space for arranging the witch array every other mile, leaving tens of thousands of craftsmen and hundreds of overseers busy with the witches. Now the Zhentian Tower is nearly 1,000 miles high, and from the base of the tower to the construction site at the top of the tower, there are nearly 50 million craftsmen and hundreds of thousands of witches busy along the way. And as the Zhentian Tower continues to rise, there will only be more and more people who set up the witch array, more and more...
These witch arrays, each layer of the witch arrays have a teleportation array, a protective array to protect the body of the tower, and the upper and lower witch arrays of the Zhentian Tower communicate into a killing array with an overall attack formation. These witch arrays are large and complex, but they are indispensable for the Zhentian Tower. Therefore, the Witch Palace and the Royal Court issued a death order, even if more craftsmen were recruited, the progress and integrity of the Witch Array must be guaranteed.
And this is just the craftsman who set up the witch array. Every hundred miles high on the Zhentian Tower, a huge warehouse group of hundreds of floors must be built, and a large number of grain, grass, equipment and other materials must be stored in the warehouse. These craftsmen who built warehouses are another astronomical number.
On the periphery of Zhentian Tower, there are nine avenues spiraling upward, each of which is about 20 miles wide according to the design requirements. Countless craftsmen are working like ants on the avenue outside the tower. As in the towers, these avenues are also marked with detailed magical passages. These nine avenues are not only used to transport soldiers in the future, but also the main energy output of the huge witch weapon of the Zhentian Tower, and the huge power released by Jianmu has been enhanced layer by layer by countless witch arrays in the tower, and it will be transported from the tower body to these nine avenues, and will be sprayed from the top of the tower for attack.
Nearly 1,000 miles in the air, strong winds can blow stones all over the sky, not to mention small craftsmen? Even with the protection of the Great Witch, these craftsmen who carved witch seals on the avenue still have thousands of people blown down the Zhentian Tower by the strong wind every day because of the negligence of the Great Witch. For these vulnerable civilians, once blown away, the only fate that awaits them is death.
In addition, the great witches who control the building wood do not have a good grasp of this innate thing, and the boulders that are born on the top of the tower sometimes appear at the top of the tower, and sometimes they fall from the top of the tower hundreds of feet high, and every time this happens, there will always be a few unlucky craftsmen who are stoned to death.
All kinds of accidents add up, and at the huge Zhentian Tower construction site, there are about 10,000 craftsmen who lose accidents every day.
And this is only the loss rate when the Zhentian Tower is only thousands of miles high. When the Zhentian Tower was 100,000 li high and 200,000 li high, and finally approached the Gangfeng layer, Xia Jie didn't dare to imagine the casualties.
"The king of Shang only built a deer platform, and he made the world a big mess. Xia Jie, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly flew out, quickly grabbed a few craftsmen who were blown down by the strong wind, and threw them back to their original places. But not far away, a cross wind swept over, and dozens of craftsmen were swept up by the strong wind, smashed heavily on the tower, and their brains burst out, and they died on the spot. Xia Jie couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How many deer platforms are equal to this Zhentian Tower? I seem to have seen information in my previous life, how high is that deer platform?"
Shaking his head, Xia Jie pointed at the big witches who were also suspended near the tower and scolded loudly, so frightened that those big witches hurriedly and diligently helped those craftsmen to support the ban against the wind, Xia Jie nodded and flew back to the place and floated in a daze.
The gentle roar of the machine gradually approached from a distance, Andorra drove a very small one-man flying machine close to Xia Jie, glanced enviously at the empty void under Xia Jie's feet, and shouted: "Xia Jie, you can't save these craftsmen! You are just a person, you are not a god!"
Thor also approached with a flying machine of the same specification, and he sighed and said, "Your Excellency, you are a true gentleman of charity. However, you are the only one who can have a gentlemanly demeanor in Great Xia. Look at your overseers, who only help the poor craftsmen when they are in a good mood or after being taught a lesson. How many people can be saved?"
Xia Jie's face drooped sadly, and he said gloomily: "How many can you save, how many can you save! I asked you to transform those killer robots of yours into engineering robots, haven't you succeeded?"
Andorra shrugged his shoulders, and the aircraft under his seat swayed from side to side, sighing, "Ten million have been transformed, but." He dragged out.
Thor sighed, "However, your Majesty and those ministers strongly disagree with letting our robots help those poor craftsmen with their work!"
Andorra laughed a few times, spread his hands and said helplessly: "Who told us to be involved in some suspicions in the rebellion a few days ago? Your Majesty is afraid that we will cause sabotage in the middle. ”
Thor immediately added, "You know, once one symbol in a witch circle is drawn incorrectly, the whole witch circle will collapse. And all the witch arrays of Zhentian Tower are a perfect whole, and the collapse of one witch array may cause the collapse of the entire tower. So, it's impossible to mobilize robots to do the construction. ”
Andor shook his head helplessly, his rosy lips gently pulled to the sides, and said with a gloomy smile: "Therefore, Your Majesty would rather believe in human beings than in our highly sophisticated machines!"
Xia Jie's face became more and more gloomy, and he suddenly smashed Andorra's flying machine with one hand, grabbed him by the neck and carried him in the air. Xia Jie sneered: "Don't show off your cheap tongue skills here. If I kill you, the king will kill me an animal!"
Thor flew away with a thud, and Andorra cursed angrily, "Thor, you unrighteous fellow. After scolding a few words, he saw that Xia Jie's face was so ugly, and he knew that Xia Jie was serious and had some dissatisfaction with him. Andorra immediately said, "Okay, Your Excellency Xia Jie, what do you want to know?"
Xia Jie snorted coldly and asked, "What's the matter with Yi Hao, what are the two hen wings behind him?"
Andorra's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly laughed: "Oh, that's one of our experiments, because Yi Hao's cheap embryo was killed by you, and His Highness Bai Python took advantage of his still a little heat to let us carry out some kind of energy-consuming transformation on him." Andor licked his lips, broke Xia Jie's fingers hard, and finally reluctantly gave up his efforts, and said with a wry smile: "The pure light energy transformation of the human body allows people with complete consciousness to have a pure body composed of high-frequency strong light particles." Because his body is made up of high-energy light particles, it is likely that he will reach the realm of what you call the Way of the Gods, a cutting-edge technology that boldly assumes and experiments... Hmm, can you understand?"
Transform the human body to be completely composed of high-energy light particles?Xia Jie subconsciously scolded: ", you really tossed out the birdman?How did you transform them?All your instruments have been confiscated!" Xia Jie's fingers used their strength violently.
Andorra stuck out his tongue and said with difficulty: "In order to resist the evil virus created by Satan, Augustus and Cain, the king asked us to prepare enough serum, and we naturally got back some of the instruments. Then, because of our successful experiments with ** modifications, the king asked us to put this successful experiment into practice, and we got a full laboratory a few months ago... What's so strange about this? This is something that the king knows, and you can ask the king. ”
Xia Jie's fingers loosened suddenly, and he nodded: "I see, I understand, thank you!"
Andorra smiled elegantly and nodded, "No thanks, this is me... Oh my God, help... ~”
Nearly 1,000 miles in the air, Andorra fell like a rock. Thor, who was watching from afar, was so frightened that he hurriedly flew up with the flying machine and caught Andorra. Unfortunately, the power of this small one-man aircraft is really not large, the weight of the two people weighed down the aircraft and staggered straight down, and the big witches on the side burst into laughter at the same time, but no one had the intention of helping them.
With the terrible roar of the aircraft's engines, Andorra and Thor landed in a terrible manner with the fact that the aircraft began to emit black smoke. Andor knew that he seemed to have annoyed Xia Jie, and did not dare to continue to stay at the construction site, so he hurriedly pulled Thor, who was angry and wanted to ask Xia Jie for an explanation, and left in a hurry.
Xia Jie stared coldly at Andorra, who slipped away like a mouse, and scolded in a low voice: "Birdman?! What the hell do you sea people want to do? If the starling was still alive, it would be nice for him to mobilize the Secret Service to keep an eye on these two guys. ”
Just sighing here, Xingtian Gale stepped on the blue and red wind and fire clouds, and flew over quickly towards this side. In the distance, Xingtian Gale let out a smug burst of laughter: "Xia Jie, you are here to be an honest supervisor, our brother is going to lead the Black Gang Army and the Xuan Biao Army to the expedition again! Hahahaha, the people of the Mo and Lan tribes actually raised the banner of rebellion, and they had another good killing!"
Xia Jie was stunned for a moment, and he asked urgently, "The two clans rebelled, why?"
Xingtian Gale flew to his side, punched Xia Jie hard, and then grabbed his head and thought for a while, then said, "Oh, it seems to have something to do with Zhentian Tower." A few witches from the Miyu Division under your superintendent killed their three patriarchs in half a month, uh, so you those fools?"
didn't notice Xia Jie, who suddenly became stunned, Xingtian Gale laughed wildly: "However, Xia Jie, don't worry, the Mo clan and the Zhu clan together only have a population of more than 500,000, and it is not as good as the big brother and I have now expanded the Black Gang Army, and the Black Gang Army and the Xuan Biao Army rushed to kill them, they are dead!"
"No... Couldn't it really be my subordinates who forced them to rebel?" Xia Jie was stunned.
With a fierce body, Xia Jie screamed: "No, if it goes on like this... This time it's two small clans, but if the kind of big clan with a population of tens of millions is reversed, this. ”
Xia Jie turned around and flew in the direction of Anyi City, and he said gloomily: "I'm going to see the king, and I can't do such a thing in order to repair the Zhentian Tower." Those witches who have forced people to rebel, I want to pick their skins!" Xia Jie's supernatural powers have risen sharply at the moment, where can the Xingtian Gale keep up with his speed, and he shouted a few times to see if Xia Jie couldn't turn around, so he gave up.
After flying forward for thousands of miles, just out of the range shrouded by the witch array protecting the Zhentian Tower, a white cloud suddenly bloomed on the cloud road in front of him, and a green-robed Taoist appeared on the cloud.
Xia Jie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "Disciple Xia Jie, I have seen the second master!"
On the clouds, the primordial Taoist smiled very reservedly.
