Qianye's focus is on those layers of old and new signs. They are temporary supply points and scout posts for the two camps. As the local war situation changes, such places change the fastest, and the information from different time periods almost overlaps.

Together.

However, Qianye still discovered that if the dark race set out from the old site of White Valve Fortress and headed for the central cave maze, they would just pass through his defense zone.

It is not impossible to take a detour, but there are several new beast outbreak areas nearby, as well as a supply point that Yong Ye and the Empire repeatedly attack and defend in a tug-of-war to control. If Aiden did not foresee that he would encounter Qian Ye, of course he would choose

across that area.

So Aiden is going to the central cave maze?

Judging from the current information disclosed by the empire, the central cave has few resources and is very dangerous.

After the will of the giant void beast that shrouded the floating land was eliminated, the empire organized manpower to conduct in-depth exploration again, and found that in a short period of time, there had been an increase in the number of ferocious beasts living deep underground, all of which had not been reported by the strong men who participated in the Battle of the Void Essence.

. Among them, the highest-level ones are very threatening to Lieutenant Generals.

All in all, except for its location in the center of the floating continent, this is a worthless area.

Qianye did not doubt the accuracy of the information, because although the imperial family had symbolic possession of the central cave, it did not invest troops in it. The empire still does not know how the local ferocious beasts in the cave reproduce, and they are basically killing them endlessly. Ordinary people

When the troops enter the cave, it won't take long before they suffer heavy losses and are killed in droves by ferocious beasts.

However, the battle with Aiden showed that the dark race’s understanding of the floating land in the void is different from that of the empire, and it is more thorough in some mysterious fields. From another perspective, the behemoth void beast Chaos chose this floating land as its own

There may be other unknown secrets behind the cemetery.

However, Qianye didn't think about it any further. These were all his speculations, and he couldn't provide any solid evidence. He didn't think he was suitable to discuss this issue with the Li family.

At this time, the quartermaster has completed the registration, and the review process is not complicated. The Li family has its own war supervision system to evaluate the completion of such tasks. Some of the casualty records and special operations information come from Yong Ye Fang, and both sides confirm that it is accurate.

The rate is quite high and disputes rarely arise.

The quartermaster checked the one-week defense zone performance evaluation manual just issued by the Li family, wrote down a rank in Qianye's name, and said: "The military merits of the defense zone guards have been registered, and it is currently a cycle. Do you have anything else?"

Do you need anything in exchange?”

"Others? Oh, no." Qianye shook his head. Although he had a Shadow Ode in his hand, only a fool would exchange such a thing.

"No? Haha, good luck guy!" The quartermaster's expression looked a little strange.

Qianye understood what he was thinking. Under the current situation, the dark race stationed in Luoxia Fjord obviously used the misty forest as a channel to increase troops. Even if the defense zone of ordinary people is at the edge or outer edge of the forest, they will still encounter more or less battles.

.If there is a battle, there will be gains. The strong men who have completed the task of guarding the defense area will hand over some military merit certificates and trophies. The more they hand over, the more intense the battle will be.

Qianye's mission was rated as top-notch, but he actually had nothing in his hands. Naturally, no dark army passed by him at all, and he easily earned a huge reward.

Qianye was too lazy to explain and didn't care if others misunderstood. If he hadn't happened to meet Aiden and entangled him in the defense zone, how many of the strong men in the defense zones near the central cave of the Li family would have come back alive?

It's hard to say.

The people in the Li family who are responsible for supervising and evaluating the war may learn some inside information from Yong Ye in the future, but people like the quartermaster who are in charge of logistics and miscellaneous tasks will definitely not have access to relevant information.

When walking out of the exchange area, Qianye suddenly heard someone shouting not far away: "What did you say? The basic salary of a bullshit tenth-level brigadier general is higher than me? Are you, the Li family, blind?"

This man's voice was very loud, and his force was strong and thick. This roar not only echoed in the hall, but also spread far away. Qianye frowned slightly, and put the words basic treatment and tenth-level brigadier general together.

Then you can basically be talking about him.

The conditions that Li Yanshou signed for him were indeed generous enough. In fact, the first batch of free strong men who joined the Li family's defense zone, including Du Li and Zhu Huan, received quite a lot of treatment.

However, since the military merit list was launched, and bounties were placed on the top of the list with Jing Shui Disheng and Tian Fengyun Yanzhu, the number of strong men entering the Li family's defense area suddenly increased. Naturally, those who came later would not receive the treatment of the first batch.

The Li family played this game very well. They needed to recruit a large number of free powerful people, but they did not blindly increase individual treatment, but relied on the incentive mechanism. On the surface, it seemed that the Li family invested priceless bounty items, but if you count the new

Increase the number of free and strong people, and the average number will not be so exaggerated. If the Li family simply adds these gold coins to everyone's reward, they may not be able to recruit so many strong people.

However, everyone's basic treatment should be kept strictly confidential. Although there was a list of guests in the early days, Qianye's ranking was still a bit eye-catching, and Du Li's inexplicable provocation was partly due to this. But now the information about the powerful people participating in the war is completely

This thick book has been divided into different volumes according to different mission types. Why would someone come to make trouble against him at this time?

Qianye stopped and had the urge to look back for a moment, but then he shook his head. He had no intention of dealing with such a reckless guy who was incited by others. He would wait until the person behind the scenes couldn't help but jump out.

, since I chose to accept the recruitment of the Li family, I was not afraid of getting into trouble.

So Qianye continued to walk towards the next target, the workshop area. The horned dragon had been damaged in many places after two fierce battles, and the force array was damaged and had to be repaired. In addition, after the heart armor Wei Potian gave him was damaged, it also

It has been kept in the Anduya space, and those silk-wrapped fine gold materials are also excellent materials.

The workshop area covers an extremely large area, with more than ten large workshops connected to each other, each with its own division of labor. Just to provide energy for this workshop area requires two large power towers, which shows that the Li family has long-term plans.

It is planned to develop this place into a self-sufficient permanent base. This layout is very suitable for transforming it into a provincial central city after the war.

Qianye walked into the armor area and was greeted by someone. The young man saw the brigadier general star on Qianye's military uniform and immediately greeted him warmly: "What can I do for you?"

Qianye pointed to the one-meter-square alloy box in his hand and said, "One of my armors is broken and needs to be repaired."

"This is easy, please come with me. Master Zhu is on duty today. You are really lucky."

The young man took Qianye to a workshop in the workshop, knocked on the door, and said, "Master Zhu, there is a general whose armor needs to be repaired."

A rough and irritable voice came from behind the door: "Why don't you come to me for repairing your armor? I'm busy! Send it to my disciples and see if they have time."

The young man was rejected, and suddenly became a little resentful, and then tried to argue: "Master, this is a general! Can you at least take a look at it?"

"Get out!" This time the answer was even more straightforward.

Qianye was beside him and said at this time: "My armor is a little special, I'm afraid your disciples can't handle it."

"It's special to have a fart!" The master in the sect was obviously used to hearing this kind of rhetoric, and he didn't give any face to it.

Qianye didn't have time to understand the craftsmanship and materials of the horned dragon at that time, but he knew one of the main materials, so he said: "This armor is made of blue steel."

"Blue Steel?!"

There was a sudden "pop" sound under the door frame, steam rose, the mechanical track clicked, and the door slowly moved away. As soon as the door opened, a heat wave suddenly hit the face, and it also reflected the flickering light of the fire, which was like a big

furnace.

In the workroom, the fire was burning brightly, and a small pot of molten metal was rolling on the shelf, flashing with colorful colors from time to time.

Master Zhu was not tall, but had broad shoulders and thick arms. He was extremely thick. At this moment, he didn't even care about the pot of molten metal. He rushed out and asked repeatedly: "Where is that armor? Is it right?

Produced by Bai Valve?”

Qianye was not surprised by Master Zhu's reaction, but he was surprised that the other party called him Bai Clan.

"It is indeed produced by Bai Vale, but how did you know?"

Master Zhu said impatiently: "Nonsense! Blue steel is the alloy first invented by Bai Valve. Although the formula has been made public now, the largest production areas of several key ingredients are in Bai Valve's hands. Over the years, only Bai Valve has

Bai Valve has the best understanding of the physical properties of blue steel. If the blue steel armor is not made by Bai Valve, it will be discounted."

Qianye handed over the armor box and said, "It is indeed produced by Bai Vale."

"Show me quickly!" Master Zhu grabbed it. The extremely heavy box was not too strenuous in his hands. He opened the front cover, took out the broken breastplate, and glanced at a box in the corner.

Immediately after engraving the seal, an exclamation came out: "White Songhe!"

Qianye had no impression of this name, so he asked casually, but Master Zhu rolled his eyes at him and scolded: "Even Master Bai doesn't know, but he is the real master in the field of armor! I wish Ruhuo and Master Bai

It’s nothing in comparison.”

Zhu Ruhuo took out the horned dragons one by one at the door, holding the scarred armor pieces as if they were treasures. After he had seen the entire set of horned dragons, he raised his head and gave Qianye a look, but his eyes were much softer.

Qianye asked: "Can this armor be repaired?"

Zhu Ruhuo carefully put the horned dragon back into the box, staring at every line, every arc, and even every broken gap, as if the charred, gray paint, and dark silvery mottled armor in front of him were

The most beautiful thing in the world.

Qianye said this twice before Zhu Ruhuo came back to his senses and said: "Of course it can be cultivated, but it will take some time."

"how long?"

"Ten days, no, three months!"

The young man who brought Qianye here couldn't help but open his mouth. Before he could speak, Qianye also understood. It was obvious that Master Zhu was not trying to repair his armor, but wanted to figure out Bai Songhe's method of making a horned dragon.

Qianye wasn't angry either, he just said: "I only have one day."

"One day is not enough! I haven't even had time to take a second look!"

Qianye's face was expressionless: "If you can't fix it, I can go to Bai Vale to find someone to fix it."

Zhu Ruhuo opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time. After a moment, he let out a sigh of relief, "With this level of loss, even if you take the White Valve, you can only restore the Force Array to 80%. One day is not enough for you to go back and forth.

.”

Qianye smiled and said: "You mean the loaded load-reduction array? That's not important. Just repair the defense part."

Zhu Ruhuo picked up the breastplate and looked at it carefully again, and said to himself: "The day is a little tight, so it can be done regardless of the auxiliary stacking array. You can come and pick it up at this time tomorrow! You are lucky, kid.

I happen to still have two pieces of blue steel in stock. For the sake of this armor, I will only charge you the cost price, and forget about other bits and pieces of materials. But I have a condition. From now on, you can only use this armor

Send it to me for repair!"

This gave Qianye a small surprise, so he agreed to Zhu Ruhuo's conditions, put the horned dragon down, and left the workshop area.

The next day or so was uneventful. Qianye had a rare moment of leisure and had a good night's sleep. The night was actually peaceful, and there was no follow-up to the roar in the exchange area during the day.

It's just that the calm before the storm is also the same.

The next morning, Qianye still had a leisurely time. After replenishing some field preparations, he went to the military merit redemption area to see how the two Shadow Blades were appraised.

Generally, when humans get black titanium weapons, they rarely use them directly. Most of them find ways to separate the black titanium contained in them and use them for various purposes, so identification and separation can be done at the same time.

There are a few more new faces in the military merit area. It seems that the Li family's recruitment efforts have never been small. As the number of strong people who heard about it increases day by day, the complexity of the personnel is also increasing.

Qianye saw several teams in groups of three or five. Although their clothing was as ordinary and simple as possible, their equipment and style could not be changed. If these people were really free and strong men who made a living by bounty, they would be crazy.

The exchange of military merits has always been very efficient. Qianye was told that the converted value of the last loot had been included. He looked at the military merits in his name and frowned.

In the total column, there is a third-level upper-level meritorious service, which is equivalent to killing a first-class viscount. The number of military merits is a bit small, but it is normal. Qianye fought endlessly with Aiden in both battles, and he hunted flawlessly. Occasionally,

Harvesting a few unlucky ghosts who unfortunately ran into their battlefield, in the later stage, even the shadow of the dark scout could not be touched.

However, if two Shadow Blades are included, it is a bit ridiculously low. Although Qianye does not know the specific content of black titanium in the Shadow Blade, he still has a basic impression of the purity. He estimates that he can at least exchange it for one

Waiting for military merit, and counting the additional rewards of special weapons, these two knives alone should be at least a third-class meritorious one.

"Can you show me the details? The military figures are a bit wrong."
