234 A great battle

“Put it here.”

Sang Qian, who was busy treating the wounded, did not realize that it was her husband who had brought the wounded over.

However, Lu Wenhu recognized his wife’s voice.

“Ah Qian?”

Sang Qian raised her head and was pleasantly surprised to see her husband. She immediately asked, ” “Wen Hu? Are you alright? Are you hurt? Let me see.”

“No, I’m fine.” why are you here? ” Lu Wenhu asked.

“I heard a sound and was worried, so I came over to take a look.”

“Where’s Morning Star?”

“Morning Star is with uncle Mingjie.”

“Okay, you stay here and take good care of the injured.”

“What are you doing?”

“If I go in again, I won’t be able to get a lot of materials.”

I heard that there might be more explosions later. Can you not go? ”

Before Lu Wenhu could answer, the sound of ‘daddy’ was getting closer and closer.

He turned around. As expected, it was his son, Lu Qixing, who had run over from afar.

She picked up her son and pinched his little face before putting him down.

“No, we have to go. Many of the materials are legal. If they are destroyed inside, it will be a great loss. It’s the peak of the workshop’s production right now, and if these materials are gone, it’ll be troublesome to find new ones.”

Which is more important, human lives or those materials? ” Sang Qian lost her composure.

Lu Wenhu was silent for a moment before he stood up and said, ” “Human lives are important, but these materials are just as important. If we can get more materials back, we can make another magic weapon. Maybe our people will survive in the North barren forest. I know you’re worried about me, but I have my duties. Father and grandfather are both inside, I can’t hide outside.”

Seeing that sang Qian was silent for a long time, Lu Wenhu continued to comfort her, ” don’t worry too much. The seventh elder is inside. With his protection, it won’t be so easy for it to explode again.

Sang Qian took a deep breath and hugged her son. “Our mother and I will be waiting for you outside.”

“Yes, don’t worry.” Lu Wenhu revealed a wide smile and turned to leave.

As he watched his father leave, the five-year-old little rising star turned to ask his mother, ” “Father, are you going to enter that big fire again?”

“Yes.”

“It’s very dangerous! Can’t father not go?”

“This is my responsibility,” sang Qian gently caressed her son’s face.

After saying that, she put the child down and warned him to be good. As for herself, she turned around and cast a spell to continue treating the injured.

She also had her responsibilities.

......

The second explosion that they had expected to happen did not really happen.

Lu Chaohe had rushed over as soon as the disaster happened. As a level 3 array master, he was in charge of the expansion of the workshop. After an incident occurred, he would find the cause and ensure that the incident did not escalate further. This was his responsibility and what he was good at.

Lu Chaohe heaved a sigh of relief after the general maintenance work was done.

After giving instructions to chaojun, mingsi, tingchou, and the others who were outside to deal with the aftermath, he went back to rest.

Controlling a rampaging spiritual vein was a very difficult task. Now, he felt both physically and mentally exhausted.

After a day of rest, Lu Chaohe went to his father’s chamber.

After he arrived, he realized that chaoxi, mingchao, chaojun, and tingchou had already arrived.

Lu chaoxi was the family head. Mingchao and he were both Qiming elders. As for chaojun, although he was only at the Qi cultivation stage, he was in charge of the family’s Affairs. There were many things that he had to do at the execution level. He was already very old. If he hadn’t cultivated the longevity Scripture, he would have already died of old age. Now, he was often out of energy. In addition, Qi cultivation stage cultivators “vision and judgment of many things were indeed not so accurate. They needed a helper. The helper chaojun had found was his own son, and he seemed to want to cultivate tingchou into his successor.

The other higher-ups of the clan had no objections to this.

The power of the general Affairs elder was very great. The distribution of the family’s contribution points and the management of various industries would all be accumulated on the general Affairs elder’s body.

However, it was precisely because of this that this position was filled with responsibilities and many things. It was inevitable that it would take up a large part of a cultivator’s time. In the past, Lu Chaohe had been the one doing this job. However, after his talent had been greatly improved and his cultivation path had a bright future and hope, he could not wait to resign from this responsibility.

Those who were determined to continue climbing to the peak on the path of cultivation would generally not want to do this job.

Under his father’s influence, tingchou did not seem to reject this arrangement. Furthermore, he had done a pretty good job while assisting Lu chaojun. He had not made any mistakes and was rather steady.

That was good. In the future, if Lu chaojun returned and tingchou took over, everyone would be more at ease.

Lu Qing had called the four of them over because he had something important to tell them.

Lu Chaohe first gave a simple report about the explosion at the fire workshop.

This matter basically ruled out the possibility of an external enemy. The reason was that an artifact refiner hired by a clan from outside had encountered some problems while operating the artifact, causing the earth Fire drawn from the spirit vein to become even more vigorous in the forging room. This problem had never been discovered, so it gradually accumulated and exploded in an operation mistake.

The man was killed on the spot, and the workshop was damaged by 40%. More than ten people were injured, and even Lu chaoling, the fourth brother, was injured.

If Lu Chaohe had not left in time, the losses would have been more than this.

The Emperor had already come up with a plan to deal with this matter.

Within a day, they would be able to clean and repair the fire workshop, so that the places that were not affected by the explosion could officially start work, and they would ensure the safety of the place. At the same time, the lesson learned this time would also form corresponding rules and regulations to prevent similar things from happening again.

For the dead and the injured, the corresponding compensation would also be taken out to ensure that there would not be any major problems.

He seemed quite reliable.

in short, it won’t affect the fire workshop’s subsequent production tasks.

...

The fire smelting workshop was still quite important, especially the core part. It produced ‘star flux swords’,’ star suppression shield’, and ‘star magical clothes’, which had been modified and produced using the star power from the secret Region outside the starry sky. These were all rare and high-quality products.

The War in the North barren forest was about to begin, and the Lu family was destined to participate in it. This time, they would not only send a dozen people like the White ghouls in the South. They would definitely send their main force.

Then, he should be equipped with all the cultivation equipment of the clan.

In addition to the special star power equipment, he also had to speed up the production of all kinds of spells and other functional magic weapons.

This was also the reason why the Lu family’s fire smelting workshop was still not enough to operate at full capacity.

well, it’s good that we can maintain production and be prepared for war. Lu Qing nodded gently and asked, ” “I’ve already told you about the news from the Qingfeng sect. We don’t have more than a year to prepare. At that time, the Feiyun state would be organized into three teams. One was led by Kong Tong, with over 3000 people, heading west from Guangyang County; We’re going to form a troop of 1500 people and head north from anling. The hai clan will also organize a troop of one thousand and five hundred people to use the Anling Road to advance Northwest.”

After hearing what Lu Qing said, the five people present had a headache.

Where are we going to find 1500 cultivators?

The Lu clan had been developing very quickly in the past few years. Besides, Qianqian was quite fertile, and the children she gave birth to had a high probability of possessing spiritual roots. It was very easy for her to transform into a true cultivator.

In addition, there were also married wives and male cultivators who married into the family.

Now, the total number of cultivators in the Lu clan was more than 280.

...

However, even if the entire Lu family were to go all out, they would only be able to gather one-fifth of the standard.

Where would they find the remaining 1200 people?

Moreover, it was impossible for the Lu family to really send out all their forces.

How old were people like Lu chaoling and chaojun? Although he still had his cultivation, he was old and weak, and his combat strength had declined greatly.

It was also like some people who were only in their teens or twenties, but were only at the first or second level of Qi refining-what could they do if they went? To feed the demonic beasts or to drag them down?

According to the monarch’s estimation, there were at most a hundred people who could form the formation. The Lu family’s various businesses were relatively large and needed manpower everywhere. They usually complained that the family did not have enough manpower, not to mention that they had taken away hundreds of elites at once. It would be a miracle if the remaining people could maintain the family business and not collapse.

Even if there were more, at the very most, it would be 200. However, with this number, the situation that the clan had worked so hard to create over the past few years would probably be greatly reversed.

For example, the Chamber of Commerce, their operations in anling Prefecture, their control over the surrounding counties and vassals.

“Just 100 people.” Lu Qing personally set the tone.

Lu Chaohe nodded and continued, ” “Then we can only use it on the vassal families and rogue cultivators. According to the traditional establishment, we need 15 hundred cultivator groups. Our Lu family can form our own group, mu Yangcheng of the Sishui river can move some people to form a group with the Zhang family of Changhong. The Huang family of peace and the Han family of Luyi could be United; The cultivation families in anling city can just barely form two groups.”

“That’s five regiments. These five regiments were basically able to maintain decent combat power. Apart from our Lu clan, the other four can be guaranteed to have two to four foundation building cultivators.”

“Have you contacted them?” Lu chaoxi asked.

I’ve contacted him. There are some problems, but they can be solved. The final result should be like this.

Ming Chao nodded,”there’s no need to worry about the strength of this 100-man team of the Lu family.” The groups of cultivators formed by various families can also be considered as a or B grade groups.”

“But the most troublesome thing is what to do with the remaining ten regiments.” Lu chaojun smiled bitterly. if we really can’t do it, we can only recruit itinerant cultivators from anling.

“Can you recruit a thousand wandering cultivators?” Lu Chaohe asked.

“I can.” Ting Chou replied, ” however, a group like Wufu can only be cannon fodder at best. Wufu isn’t even qualified to be cannon fodder. If 1,000 Qi refining cultivators were forced to gather through the expedition, there was no way to guarantee their level. Even the number of late-stage Qi refining cultivators was unknown. Moreover, it’s even more impossible for us to find ten foundation building cultivators to lead these cannon fodder groups. The Xuanji clan has ten foundation building cultivators, but do we have to split them all up to lead these cannon fodder groups?”

Ting Chou’s last question made everyone shake their heads.

historical

He definitely couldn’t do that. Otherwise, it would be really stupid to let his clenched fist fall apart.

But was Lao Ai really going to lead ten cannon fodder groups without even Foundation establishment cultivators? They were even worse than the C-level troops of the White ghouls in the South and the North.

If there were a hundred well-trained Qi refining cultivators with reliable inheritances, it would not be useless after they formed a group. If they formed a tight formation with two tier-two demonic beasts and a small number of tier-one demonic beasts, they would be able to withstand it and might even win.

However, if 100 rogue cultivators were to fight against him, he would definitely be defeated.

Pure wild itinerant cultivators didn’t know how to set up a hundred-man formation. Their inheritances, cultivation techniques, and magical artifacts were all strange and eccentric. Perhaps some people who were lucky had exquisite or even awesome items, but generally speaking, they were all trash and not standardized.

In addition, they were rogue cultivators, so where was the discipline and organization? They were afraid that once they realized that their lives were in danger, they would run away, not caring that they would die more easily if they scattered.

Such a team would probably break up with a single charge and collapse with a single blow.

Even Lu Qing felt his head hurt when he thought of this.

The other two roads basically didn’t have this problem.

The sect leader’s side was needless to say. Part of them were recruited from the local cultivation families of Guangyang and Zhongshan, while the other part was formed directly by the direct descendants of the Qingfeng sect. They were very powerful.

It was the same for the hai clan. They also had great influence in the sect, so it wouldn’t be a problem for them to pull out a few hundred cultivators.

However, when he thought of this, the teasing Lu Qing felt that his train of thought was slightly more flexible.

“Can we also think of a way from the sect’s side?” he asked.

The others were stunned for a moment. After being enlightened by their own patriarch, they also came to their senses.

“We can ask sister-in-law to see if she can help. Didn’t you say that sister-in-law would come to our Lu family? She’s also a Grand Elder of the Qingfeng sect, so maybe she can call for some cultivators from the sect?”

“We can also let Wenen think of a way. He had been in the sect for thirty years, right? There would always be some good friends. I don’t need to pull a lot of people, just a few foundation building cultivators would be a good thing.”

there are also some people who cultivate in the sects in the cultivation clans of anling Prefecture. These people can also activate the Kongtong Sect.

“Let’s see if we can send some people to the hai family to help them.”

“Maybe we can ask the Gongsun family for help?”

After they opened up their minds, they came up with many ideas.

In the end, it was hard to say if they could gather 1000 high-quality cultivators. It was unlikely, but even if it was impossible, it was still good to get more people. The remaining gaps would be filled up by the wandering cultivators as cannon fodder. With two or three cannon fodder groups, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

As he listened to everyone’s discussion, Lu Qing waved his hand and said, ” “Then let’s go do our own things according to these ideas. There’s less than a year left, so everyone should do what they need to do. Our Lu family has our own goal in this battle.”

“Yes!”

No one knew exactly what the ‘goal’ Lu Qing had mentioned was. He had not talked about it in detail. However, it must be something very important to the clan. Otherwise, the patriarch would not have mentioned it so seriously.

After the Lu clan’s higher-ups left, they started to work in all directions.
