Zither Emperor Chapter 637 Chapter 201 Current Situation in Qin City Part 1

637: Chapter 201 Current Situation in Qin City (Part 1)_1 637: Chapter 201 Current Situation in Qin City (Part 1)_1 As she spoke, Anya waved her left hand and an image appeared out of thin air beside her, floating in mid-air.

Pointing to it, Anya said, “For the interior construction of Qin City, I’ve divided it into several major areas.

These include the living areas of the Eastern Dragon people, the training areas, and the mountains where the various races reside.

All these areas will need to be developed continuously to pletion.

There are also caves for women, children, and the elderly to hide from the ravages of war when facing large enemy forces.

These plans have taken a lot of effort on my part.

Once the construction of the outer defenses is plete, we’ll start on the interior construction.

I’m in charge of the city’s construction, while the military aspect, let Elder Wei Ming tell you about that.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded and turned his gaze to Supreme Elder Wei Ming.

Wei Ming said, “As we had initially planned, after selecting the craftsmen, we proceeded with the selection for the future army of the Empire.

The army is divided into two parts.

Due to the vast terrain of the Burna Mountain Range, the original plan was only good for attacking the enemy, but not sufficient for defending the city.

Therefore, we divided a separate force specifically for guarding Qin City, which we also refer to as the Reserve Army, currently consisting of a hundred thousand people.

Frankly, the more than two million descendants of the Eastern Dragon that Milan sent us seem numerous, but in practice, they are still too few.

Burna Mountain Range is just too vast.

To defend from every direction, we’d likely need at least three hundred thousand in a large army.

Of course, we have the Magic guide cannon, and from a defensive power standpoint, this figure can be significantly reduced.

Nevertheless, we must have enough hands to operate the defenses, and the absolute minimum is the current hundred thousand.

Divided into units of five hundred, each unit defends a section of the fortress, the entire Qin City fortress perimeter defense is temporarily divided into two hundred parts, with each army supporting the others.

Their primary tasks are to operate ballistas, roll boulders, and other defense constructions, coordinating with the Magic guide cannon to repel the enemy.

At the same time, these hundred thousand will also supplement our regular army.

Therefore, they are currently posed of young people under eighteen years of age.

Due to the real shortage of manpower, the youngest among them are only fourteen.”

One who does not manage a household does not know the value of fuel and rice.

Hearing what Supreme Elder Wei Ming said, Ye Yinzhu realized that the future construction of Qin City would be a long journey.

Wei Ming continued, “As for the young adults, we’ve already formed a structure according to the original agreement.

Each of the Four Great Battalions: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum contains fifteen thousand people, with the cavalry and archers each prising ten thousand people.

A total of eighty thousand.

Of course, there is also the mixed position from various races, which are now your responsibility.

No one but you can arrange the specific organization.”

Ye Yinzhu said with a wry smile, “Choosing a hundred thousand craftsmen and a hundred and eighty thousand warriors from over two million people must represent all the elite descendants of the Eastern Dragon.”

Wei Ming nodded and answered, “That’s exactly right.

Given the vast expanse of the Burna Mountain Range, with our good exploitation, it can acmodate tens of millions of households at the very least.

Therefore, our first law is to encourage childbirth.

After joining Qin City, regardless of whether they are Humans or from other races, all children’s expenses until adulthood will be covered by us, and families that have more than two children will also receive a certain subsidy.

With the riches you plundered, enough to rival nations, we need not worry about financial issues.

Even years later, when these riches are nearly expended, Qin City will probably have truly developed.

Currently, our Eastern Dragon population is somewhat imbalanced, with males only making up three and a half tenths, so selecting warriors was particularly difficult.

Hence, we are encouraging polygamy even more so that more descendants of the Eastern Dragon can continue.”

Hearing the words “polygamy” from Wei Ming, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but blush, “So how are these warriors being trained now?”

Wei Ming replied, “Our original training plan remains unchanged.

As for the main force of eighty thousand, the cavalry cannot yet be systematically trained.

The Long-range Army, ten thousand strong, is uniformly trained by Peja, while our Four Great Battalions: Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum have incorporated fighters from the Four Martial Arts Sects as squad leaders.

However, they have not yet undergone formal training and are working hard with the reserve hundred thousand on the construction of Qin City.”

“Oh?

Are you planning to use the construction of Qin City to train them?” Ye Yinzhu asked.

Wei Ming answered, “You could say that, though it’s rather a necessity.

It’s unrealistic to pull out these hundred and eighty thousand for training, as the construction of Qin City would undoubtedly slow down too much without them.

Besides, as our Eastern Dragon ancestors once said, ‘When the heavens are about to place a great responsibility on a man, they first exhaust his mind and body, make him suffer hardship, starve his body, and empty his life.

They use disorder to disturb his behavior, so in his movements and actions, he develops an enduring nature and enhances abilities he could not previously achieve.’ The workload of building Qin City is immense; while we ensure they have ample food, it’s an excellent opportunity to toughen them up.

Over the past six months, these young men have grown significantly stronger.

At the same time, the fighters from the Four Martial Arts Sects assigned as squad leaders also instruct them in our martial techniques and Douqi cultivation during construction.

We’ve already seen tangible results.

Although they have not formally been on the battlefield and are not yet effective in military formations, their individual bat power is no less than that of the warriors from Milan.”

Listening to Wei Ming, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but recall what Marshal Xi Duofu had once said to him: To forge an ironclad army, they must be baptized in iron and blood.

He agreed with this wholeheartedly.

Soldiers who have not experienced war, no matter how strong they are individually, cannot pare to the battle-hardened army trained in the arts of killing.

Ye Yinzhu did not inquire further about the specifics of Qin City’s construction, as he did not have any particular talent in that area.

A person cannot be proficient in everything, and leaving it to Anya was obviously the best approach.

Ye Yinzhu never considered himself a leader, but rather a member of Qin City.

As long as the Qin City family was harmonious, that was enough for him.

“Let’s head out.

We’ve seen what we need to, and there’s no reason to keep Brother Oliveira waiting,” Ye Yinzhu suggested.

Anya withdrew her magic power and said, “Controlling these Magic guide cannons doesn’t consume much magic because they simply harness the cannons’ own energy to attack.

The casting of the magic guide cannons is indeed ingenious.

Except for the Cannon of Annihilation, which consumes a great deal of energy due to its immense power during discharge, the other cannons only require a magic crystal stone of above the seventh rank as a core.

Each shot allows the cannon’s internal magic formation to condense Magic Elements and replenish its energy.

With one day and night of replenishment, it can fire three times in a row.

Of course, the better the quality of the magic crystal stone, the greater the number of shots it supports.

For example, a Crystal Core from a rank Nine Beast could support ten shots, and each shot would be much more powerful.

For specifics about these magic guide cannons, you’ll have to speak with Elder Guru later on.

He knows them best.

I’m just the operator.”

As they talked, the three of them separated from the Ancient Tree and descended toward the ground.

Before they touched down, Ye Yinzhu noticed that an extra person had joined Oliveira.

The man was shorter than Oliveira’s waist but had shoulders much broader, and his face was adorned with red whiskers; it wasn’t hard to guess who he was.

The Dwarf race’s first Elder, Lucino.

At the moment, the Dwarf Tribe Elder’s face did not look too pleasant, with an air of anger about him.

“Elder Lucino, what brings you here?” Ye Yinzhu landed gracefully and asked with a puzzled look.

Upon seeing Ye Yinzhu, Elder Lucino’s eyes suddenly widened with anger and he said, “His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, do you really have to ask why I am here?

Hmph!” With a snort, he turned his head away, refusing to even look at Ye Yinzhu.

This was the first such incident since the Dwarves had joined Qin City.

Ye Yinzhu was somewhat baffled when Oliveira approached and whispered in his ear, “Elder Lucino is here because of the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry’s gear.

After numerous brushes with death, both the Death God Soldiers and the Dragon Wolves have suffered some damage to their armor.

Hongyan cherishes his subordinates, and as soon as he returned, he sought out the Dwarf race, hoping they could help with the repairs.

The Dwarves deeply value the items they forge, and seeing these weapons and armor they meticulously crafted getting damaged has angered the Elder.

Of the three hundred sets of luxurious equipment, hardly any were left unscathed.”

Ye Yinzhu suddenly understood.

Indeed, there were scarcely two things that could enrage the Dwarf race: one was their craftsmanship, and the other, not allowing them to drink.

“Elder Lu, please don’t be angry yet.

How about you listen to my explanation first?” Ye Yinzhu approached Elder Lucino with an apologetic smile, patting his shoulder.

He could tell that though Elder Lucino was angry, the fact that he was still in control showed that he wasn’t truly furious but instead felt that they hadn’t treasured the fruits of the Dwarves’ labor.

Elder Lucino was still turned away, but he didn’t dodge the hand Ye Yinzhu rested on his shoulder.

Ye Yinzhu continued, “Elder Lu, I admit that this war inflicted considerable damage and much of the Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry’s equipment is broken.

But, are you aware of our achievements in this battle?”

Elder Lucino’s mustache twitched, and he finally turned his head back around.

“Even if you fought valiantly against the enemy, you’ve taken far too little care of our painstaking work.

Many armors are covered in damage, and some have even bee misshapen.

Do your warriors only know how to crash headlong into the enemy?” (To be continued.
