Chapter 198 Tower! Tower(1/2)
!! Tower!!!
The rebellion, which was fierce, murderous and seemingly extremely dangerous, ended abruptly in just a quarter of an hour in a ridiculous way.
Qi Xin controlled Jian Mu. This heaven and earth spiritual root was indeed the ancient Tongtian Pillar. The strange power it possessed was simply shocking. All kinds of mixed spiritual energy was sucked into Jian Mu, and under Qi Xin's control, it turned into a green belt.
The downpour of bright fluorescent light nourished the elite warriors in the witch formation who were injured by the shock wave caused by the nuclear bomb explosion. Countless warriors instantly recovered, clenched their weapons, and faced the rebels. Then, Qi Xin did something
Similar to the four mythical beasts that guarded Jianmu that day - she transformed into hundreds of millions of warriors gathered by spiritual energy and joined the battle group.
The rebels were defeated, but Tai Yi ordered them all to be captured alive, and became the material for making a puppet with complete sanity and wisdom.
Later, on the Doomsday Fortress that was swaying from the sky, Andor and Thor once again wisely controlled the self-defense weapons in the Doomsday Fortress, blasting all of Bai Zhi's subordinates into pieces, opening up the heavy weapons everywhere.
The gate allowed the great witches from the Hidden Witch Palace to pour into the Doomsday Fortress and once again control the Doomsday Fortress!
In exchange for swearing a blood oath to cooperate with Lu Gui's Tianzhen Tower plan, Andor and Thor's position in this rebellion is worthy of discussion, and the method of regaining control of the Doomsday Fortress is worthy of torture.
Once again, he escaped the punishment of Lu Gui and was appointed as the Deputy Supervisor of the Tianzhen Tower Project, becoming Xia Jie's deputy.
Yi Hao and other Nine Heavens used some secret method to escape without knowing where to go. Their tribesmen were imprisoned by the furious Lu Gui, and they were all executed secretly three days later. The royal court selected a group of loyal and reliable witches to replace them.
With his identity, he succeeded the title of the Nine Heavenly Lords. Since then, Lu Gui's power has increased greatly. At least in terms of secular power, no one can compete with him anymore.
And Bai Zhi, the Bai Zhi who caused all this just left a secret letter that made Lu Gui so angry that he vomited blood, and then drifted away without knowing his whereabouts. Lu Gui sent a message to the nine states of Daxia, the thirty-six states in the sea area, and other places.
At the same time, the clan of the Great Kingdom issued a top-secret arrest document, promising that once anyone can catch Bai Zhi, they will be granted the title of Tianhou. It seems that since Lu Gui ascended the throne, the team of Great Xiahou has expanded several times, and according to this
As the momentum develops, Tianwei’s team will continue to expand.
After the dust settled, the temporary rebellion did not cause any damage to Daxia. Daxia's huge state machine began to operate at full speed around the construction of the Tianzhen Tower.
The first people to be affected by the Zhentian Tower were the people of the Thirty-Six Prefectures of Haiyu. The officials of Daxia promulgated a new law in the Thirty-six Prefectures of Haiyu: More births have merit. The more births, the greater the merit. Those who have only one child
Families will be severely punished. Families that give birth to more than three children will receive current rewards. If a couple gives birth to more than ten children, they will have the same status as the common people of Daxia.
.
Then, a disturbing rumor spread secretly among the people of the thirty-six states in the sea. Young people aged ten to twenty years old were mysteriously missing everywhere. From the easternmost Dongji state to the most western sea
The state spans a vast territory of hundreds of thousands of miles. It is impossible for ordinary people to complete such a long distance in their lifetime, but similar rumors are almost the same.
As the number of missing young people continued to increase, the rumors became more and more outrageous. Gradually, outrageous rumors emerged that the officials stationed in the thirty-six states of Daxia were devils who eat human flesh and drink human blood. Later, with a large-scale
During the purge of the remnants of the Hai people, as a large number of people were thrown into prison or directly sent to Daxia as slaves, these rumors disappeared almost at the same time, and no one dared to mention such things again.
Disappearances are continuing to occur. At this time, it is not just young men who are missing, but many beautiful girls have also joined the ranks of the missing. However, no common people dare to talk about such things.
The people of the thirty-six states in the sea area suddenly discovered that the taxes and labor on their heads were much heavier. In the era when the sea people ruled them, they only needed to give 10% of all income to the Poseidon Temple, and 80% of the income after giving birth.
Leave it to their lords, and the harvest will be enough for these people to live peacefully. But as the Tianzhen Tower progresses, these people are shocked to find that the officials of Daxia require them to hand over half of the food harvested in the fields!
The large increase in labor is because Daxia has accumulated a large amount of food, and the people of the Thirty-Six Prefectures have to open up a lot of wasteland. They burned the mountains and forests, destroyed the grasslands, and opened up patches of farmland to grow food, and these newly opened fields
Eighty percent of the harvest in the farmland will belong to Daxia.
The lord of a state like Xiang Liurou, in order to plunder more wealth as quickly as possible, desperately captured people to mine, cut trees, pick precious spices, fish for pearls, collect rare animal bones, etc. Especially in Xiang Liu
In Rou's territory, one out of every four people was invested in agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and other industries owned by the Daxia court.
Under the terrifying force of the great witches, the people of the thirty-six states in the sea area had no ability to resist at all. They could only silently endure the increasingly harsh oppression and silently struggle for their lives.
The people of Jiuzhou in Daxia were also required to hand over more food, money and materials. At the same time, because the number of casualties among craftsmen during the construction of the Sky Tower was extremely heavy, batches of craftsmen were continuously mobilized from the private sector. The people of Daxia
, suddenly found that his life was tight, and suddenly found that from time to time, familiar people around him died because of some top-secret project. People are sensitive and reserved, they only know that their life is suddenly sad.
Already.
For those vassal states and clans that were vassalized under the wings of Daxia, their lives were even more difficult. Tribes like Shang Tang who had good personal relations with Lu Gui were okay, but other vassal states and clans were also helpless to offer more.
livestock, grain, craftsmen, and more precious items such as jade, fine gold, silver, and bronze.
In Xia Jie's governor's office, new yamen such as the "Meiyu Division", "Jingjin Division", "Liangyin Division", "Jingtong Division" and so on were established. From the names of these new yamen, we can know that their only
The task is to take Lu Gui's edict to various vassal countries and tribes and ask them for more beautiful jade, fine gold and other items.
The amount of witchcraft materials such as jade and fine gold consumed by the Tianzhen Tower is a terrifying astronomical figure. Daxia emptied the national treasury and internal treasury accumulated for thousands of years, but it was only a drop in the bucket and could not be used at all. Therefore, Lu
It took almost three days for Gui to issue an urging edict to various kingdoms, clans and even major witch families. Each edict stipulated a standard number. If those who were unable to present these materials, regardless of whether they were the head of the country or the clan leader, they would be
Kill him on the spot and choose a new person to take his place.
For a time, the clans of the subordinate countries of Daxia changed their expressions when they heard the name of the Governor's Mansion. Seeing the unique lavender robes of the messengers of the Governor's Mansion, and even the heads of the country and clan leaders were frightened to death. Squeezing Tai
Cruelly, these subordinate countries and tribes have been forced to almost run out of fuel. And as some officials in the Supervisory Office filled their own pockets and secretly deducted those beautiful jade, fine gold and other items, the people's resentment boiled even more
, but this sound could not reach the ears of Lu Gui or even Xia Jie at all.
Beautiful jade, fine gold, silver, bronze... For these materials, tens of thousands of subjects in Daxia almost went crazy. They frantically sent their witches to survey the land, uncovering layers of rock formations, looking for
New mineral veins. Sometimes, new mineral veins discovered 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 negotiation.
Xia Jie, who was on the Tianzhen Tower construction site, knew nothing about these things. He just mobilized various materials according to the progress of the project so that the progress of the Tianzhen Tower would not slow down. As for the huge and complex yamen of Duzao Mansion,
He was not from the Anti-Corruption Bureau in his previous life, so he had no knowledge of these matters at all.
He didn't know that because of the persecution of some of his officials, hundreds of people had died - and they were all leaders of the country, clan leaders and even elders of various countries and clans. How did he know that he had already
Like Lu Gui, he became the most hated object among those countries and tribes.
At this time, Xia Jie just floated at the same height as the Tianzhen Tower every day, watching the craftsmen working hard under the supervision of the great wizards. Occasionally when there was a shortage of certain materials, he would use his own seal to
It's just a matter of stamping a note on a certain document and sending an official to rush for these materials.
The current Tianzhen Tower is nearly a thousand miles high and is rapidly growing into the sky at a rate of about a hundred miles per day.
There is a huge space under the base of the Tianzhen Tower that is a hundred miles in diameter and more than three hundred miles high. Jianmu is in that cavity. Countless witches are guarding there, and at the same time they control Jianmu to deal with the sucked in according to their wishes.
Use Reiki.
Countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth were sucked into the building wood, and then blasted straight upward into the Sky-Suppressing Tower. Under the control of the great witches, boulders harder than steel appeared out of thin air on top of the Sky-Suppressing Tower. What the craftsmen had to do
The purpose is to neatly build these stones that appear out of thin air, carve out complex witchcraft spells and dense witchcraft circulation channels on the stones, and fill these channels with liquid made from fine gold, silver and other precious metals mixed with bronze.
, buried huge pieces of beautiful jade in the eyes of the array.
Every other mile high of the Sky-Suppressing Tower, a huge witchcraft formation with a diameter of more than 900 miles must be erected. Each witchcraft formation consumes countless jade and other materials. Calculated based on the scale of the Sky-Suppressing Tower, which is nearly one million miles high.
, a total of nearly one million such witchcraft formations would be set up, and how many valuables would be consumed, Xia Jie simply did not dare to calculate this number.
The Tianzhen Tower is raised nearly a hundred or even two hundred miles every day, and the erection of the first floor of the witchcraft array requires fifty thousand craftsmen to be busy for nearly three months.
Therefore, the Sky-Suppressing Tower was raised layer by layer, leaving a space for arranging witch formations every other mile, leaving tens of thousands of craftsmen and hundreds of supervisors and wizards busy. Today, the Sky-Suppressing Tower is nearly a thousand miles high, from the base of the tower to the
On the construction site at the top of the tower, nearly 50 million craftsmen and hundreds of thousands of great witches are busy along the way. And as the Tianzhen Tower continues to rise, more and more people will be setting up witch formations, and more and more...
…
Each of these witch formations has a teleportation formation and a protective formation that protects the tower. It connects the upper and lower witch formations of the Tianzhen Tower into a killing formation with an overall attack formation. These witch formations are large and complex, and for
The Sky-Suppressing Tower is indispensable. Therefore, the Witch Palace and the Royal Court issued a death order. No matter how many craftsmen are recruited, the progress and integrity of the Witch Array must be guaranteed.
And these are just the craftsmen who set up the witchcraft array. Every hundred miles high on the Tianzhen Tower, huge warehouses with hundreds of floors must be built, and large amounts of grain, grass, equipment and other items must be stored in the warehouses. These craftsmen who build warehouses
, another astronomical number.
Outside the Tianzhen Tower, there are nine winding avenues. According to the design requirements, each avenue is about twenty miles wide. Countless craftsmen are working as hard as ants on the avenues outside the tower. Just like inside the tower,
Detailed witchcraft channels must also be carved on these avenues. These nine avenues are not only used to transport soldiers in the future, but they are also the main energy output port of the huge witchcraft weapon of Zhentian Tower. The huge power released by Jianmu passes through countless people in the tower.
After the witch formation is strengthened layer by layer, it will be transported from the tower to the nine avenues, and will be sprayed from the top of the tower to attack.
Nearly a thousand miles high in the sky, strong winds can blow rocks with a radius of ten feet flying all over the sky, let alone small craftsmen? Even with the protection of a big witch, there are still thousands of craftsmen carving witch seals on the road every day
Because of the witch's negligence, he was blown off the Sky Tower by the strong wind. For these fragile civilians, once they were blown away, the only fate waiting for them was death.
In addition, the great witches who control the building wood do not have a good grasp of this innate thing. The huge rocks that are born on the top of the tower sometimes appear at the top of the tower at the right time, and sometimes they appear hundreds of feet high from the top of the tower.
Falling down with a crash, every time this happens, a few unlucky craftsmen will be killed.
When all kinds of accidents are added up, the number of craftsmen who are accidentally lost every day on such a large Tianzhen Tower construction site is around 10,000.
And this was only the loss rate when the Sky-Suppressing Tower was only a thousand miles high. When the Sky-Suppressing Tower was 100,000 miles high, 200,000 miles high, and finally approached the Gangfeng layer, Xia Jie couldn't imagine the casualties.
"King Zhou of Shang Dynasty only built a deer platform, but he caused chaos in the world." 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.
The original place. But not far away, a cross wind swept over. Dozens of craftsmen were swept up by the strong wind and hit the tower so hard that their brains burst out and they died tragically on the spot. Xia Jie couldn't help but said with a bitter smile:
"How many deer platforms are there in this Tianzhen Tower? I seem to have seen information in my previous life. How many feet high is the deer platform?"
Shaking his head, Xia Jie pointed at the great witches who were also suspended near the tower and cursed loudly. The great witches were frightened and hurriedly helped the craftsmen to set up restraints against the strong wind. Xia Jie then nodded and flew back.
He was floating in place blankly.
The soft roar of machines gradually approached from a distance. Andor drove a very small single-person aircraft close to Xia Jie. He glanced enviously at the empty void at Xia Jie's feet and shouted loudly: "Xia Jie, you don't have
There is no way to save these craftsmen! You are just a human being, you are not a god!"
Thor also flew an aircraft of the same specification close to him. He sighed and said: "Your Excellency Meng Tianhou, you are a truly charitable gentleman. However, you are the only witch in Daxia who can behave like a gentleman. Look at it.
Well, your great witches who are overseers will only help those poor craftsmen when they are in a good mood or after being taught a lesson. How many people can be saved by this?"
Xia Jie drooped his face with a frown, and said gloomily: "How many can be saved? I asked you to transform your killer robots into engineering robots, haven't you succeeded yet?"
Andor shrugged his shoulders, the aircraft under him swayed left and right, and sighed: "Ten million aircraft have been modified, but..." He prolonged his voice.
To be continued...
