Chapter 484 Immortal Battleship
Chapter 484 Immortal Battleship
Cangwu Province, Fufeng County.
During the war, this was the largest front-line material distribution center, with complete transportation channels and storage space.
Normally, this is the largest salt-drying field in Cangwu and also one of the sunniest places in the Dawn Continent, with its output supplying most of the Western Territory.
In the Salt Drying Plain, Rao family, as a salt-making family, has been operating here for six generations. All the heads of the family have the title of Salt Lord, but although they are called a noble family, they actually have no title. When Duke Yu was still alive, Rao family was a veritable money bag, raising two reorganized divisions of elite garrison troops, which were essentially no different from private soldiers.
The current head of the Rao family, Rao Ren, is only about 40 years old. When he was young, he went to the Western King's Palace to seek a job, but at that time the previous Western King had just fallen into the water and was seriously ill. He waited for more than three years, but in the end he got nothing because of his background. The job was taken away by a young man from an aristocratic family who had just arrived. In a fit of anger, he returned to the Salt Drying Plains to inherit the family business.
Having witnessed the power of the sons of aristocratic families, Rao Ren chose to rely on the leader of the Cangwu aristocratic family, the Yu family. Under his leadership, the Rao family completed the transformation from a wealthy businessman to a semi-military group.
However, due to Emperor Wuzong's decree that merchants were not allowed to receive titles, even though Rao Ren was extremely powerful, he still had no chance of being awarded a title on the battlefield.
During these days, the King of the West inexplicably destroyed his own tax system. The noble families who were usually extravagant had already lost their leader and were restless. Now they had lost their stable income, so they began to frantically look for new sources of income.
"Qingyu City Garrison Corps, collect the venue fee according to the law. If you don't have money to pay, get out of the way immediately!"
"It's the Fufeng County Governor's birthday. I hope Rao will gather the birthday money soon."
"The Yulule clan intends to requisition this place, so please ask Patriarch Raoren to go out and have a talk."
The entire Rao family base was in extreme chaos, with more than a dozen teams from different backgrounds coming to take advantage of the situation, and they were coming continuously. Today was already the third day.
The disgust and hatred in the eyes of the Rao family's children were almost impossible to conceal. It was common for this group of soldiers and evil officials to molest the women, and several conflicts had broken out between the two sides.
The private soldiers carried away the salt boxes one by one. The leaders called each other brothers and smiled at each other. After two defeats in spring and winter, the economy of Cangwu Province had been on the verge of collapse. Now, all parties were eager to get some money back.
Among the children of the Rao family, there was a strange man with two heads and eyes spewing fire. He strode to the door.
I saw a middle-aged man with a burly build, a face as red as a date, a short beard, a six-ring heavy sword on his back, a scroll hanging on his waist, and a very restrained aura, almost undetectable.
"Head of the family!" the weirdo said angrily.
"Wait a little longer." Yan Jun replied.
The strange man tried his best to hold back for a moment, but suddenly he heard the cries of women from the house. He could no longer endure it and rushed back. Seeing this, many of the Rao family's children also ran away.
A faint smile appeared on Yan Jun's lips.
Beside him, the man in black frowned and said, "If you damage our dignity, it will be difficult to deal with it next time."
The Salt Lord smiled and said, "Rebellion is not an easy thing. Some people want me to carry the banner, that's fine, but the specifics must be based on my wishes."
"Fear of authority, dependence on order, confusion about the unknown." Yan Jun said seriously: "If you don't even dare to challenge me, then you will be useless in the face of heroes and powers. Maybe everyone will scatter as soon as you take off your mask."
The man in black snorted coldly. Under the mask was the face of the head of the Fu family. As a heroic creature, he personally came out to help, mainly to test the strength of the Jing family.
"The Fufeng Fleet is parked at the shipyard twenty miles away, and the garrison colonel has been transferred."
"Before midnight today, a batch of arms will arrive at the Fufeng Storage Center, enough to equip a reorganized division. The subsequent assistance will depend on the specific situation and the results of the battle."
"In addition, some second-rate families and sects will bring in gold in the form of bandits or refugees. When looting various places, be careful not to hurt your own people."
The head of the Fu family informed everyone of the situation.
boom!
The conflict within the base finally escalated.
First there was a roar, followed by dense sound of source force gunfire. The strange man waved his four arms and went crazy among the private soldiers. Blood splattered everywhere, and a battle officially broke out between the Rao family members and the enemy. The scene was extremely chaotic.
Lord Yan looked calm. This way, when the children of the Rao family died in battle, no one would blame him for starting a rebellion. The process of wearing the yellow robe was necessary. "We need a direction and a slogan."
Yan Jun was in silent contemplation. Having been in charge for twenty years, he knew clearly that if he wanted to get things done, he had to have his own foundation. After all, it was difficult to rely on external assistance.
"Kill the parasites, destroy the aristocratic family, and return the political power to the center."
"The king is not a king, the prime minister is not a prime minister, kill the king and help the prime minister."
"Distribute rice and grain, and wine and meat equally, to obey the will of Heaven and help the world."
"Then I am the King of Fengtian."
Yan Jun smiled. He chose the shadows of the aristocratic families, the ambitious, the losers, the avengers, etc. To put it more generally, under the current structure of the empire, all those who have not obtained benefits commensurate with their strength are the targets of his pursuit.
Before the phased goals are completed, he plans to take advantage of the confrontation between the local and central governments. Before the central government is completely abandoned, it is likely that the central government will not make any efforts to participate in the suppression. According to the consistent thinking of those bigwigs, they would probably be happy to see the rebels weaken the local strength.
Of course, this is just a slogan at the moment. The Fengtian Army still needs the assistance and support of local forces, and the specific balance needs to be grasped.
Just as Yan Jun was planning for the future.
A bloody shadow suddenly appeared behind a tree in the distance.
Without any hesitation, a beam of blood came straight at him, and the powerful physique stirred up an endless wave.
Bloodshadow came close and punched out.
The head of the Fu family turned a blind eye and didn't even raise a finger.
boom!
Yan Jun turned around and stretched out his hand to catch the heavy punch steadily. The ground within a hundred meters around both sides collapsed and sank.
"If it was an ordinary peak gold, with just this one blow, it would probably be seriously injured and dying."
Yan Jun looked deeply at the blood shadow in front of him, unsheathed his six-ring heavy sword, and slashed out a sword light that was pure to the extreme.
The blood shadow did not resist and exploded like fireworks.
"Just a test?"
……
Tianshui City, the shipyard behind the mountain.
The Saint Lilith was in the process of devouring two Immortal Battleships, and due to the quality of the food, the process continued for almost three days.
On the platform, Jiang He opened his eyes, looking slightly surprised.
"Indigenous, and not weak."
The Salt Lord is a creature of the Golden Age, and is within the range that all major forces believe they can control. However, he is very strong among the golden peaks and is not killed by the siege of the peaks. This shows that he is carefully selected by the bigwigs behind the scenes.

The gate to the realm opened, and the Saint Lilith was taken back.
Jiang He took a sip of wine and rinsed his mouth. He planned to join the rebel army as a helper of the Jing family. Not to mention the main mission for now, the most urgent task was to destroy a few noble families and plunder the source gold to increase the speed of cultivation.
