Zhang Damiao lowered his head, speechless, his subordinates were incompetent, and he couldn't lose face as an official.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said to Xu Kuang:
"By the way, sir, there have been two Wind Demon Eagles hovering over the military camp recently, and they have stolen several war horses. Chen Xiaobao said you brought them back, so I didn't deal with them."
Xu Kuang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
He looked at Zhang Damiao and asked:
"What do you think of me opening a military academy?".
Zhang Damiao was also stunned. After a moment, he gave his answer:
"Now...it's too early.".
Is it early? Xu Kuang had great doubts about this. He felt that it was not too early, but now there were not too many people in Mushroom Ridge who were qualified to serve as instructors.
This plan can only be put on hold for the time being.
"I will put the matter of the Wind Demon Eagle on hold for now, and the instructor will send it to you in a few days. Remember, half a month, I will only give you half a month."
"yes!".
Xu Kuang was just about to take people away when he heard Henry's voice:
"Wait a minute, Brother Xu, can you show me these weapons?".
Xu Kuang nodded and said with a smile:
"no problem.".
Xu Kuang casually handed a gun to Henry.
Henry followed the example of the others, lying on the ground, with the gun pointed at Winston.
Winston:…
He understood what Henry meant and directly signaled Henry to fire.
With one shot, the bullet cut through the airflow and flew towards Winston at extremely high speed.
Winston had already concentrated on using his magic power to strengthen his whole body.
The bullet hit Winston's shoulder, leaving a red mark but not breaking Winston's skin.
But this was enough to shock the two of them.
Henry stood up and asked:
"Can I buy some of this weapon?".
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"sure.".
Henry asked in shock:
"Aren't you afraid that I will let other alchemy priests imitate it?"
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Compared with this, you might as well care about the price first.".
Henry asked quickly:
"How much?".
"Fifteen gold coins a shot, with thirty bullets.".
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers were shocked. It turned out that they were burning money every day.
Winston frowned slightly. He had already seen that this thing had a relatively sophisticated structure, but it was not blessed by a magic circle. Without the blessing of a magic circle, it would be just a pile of scrap metal and rotten wood.
Xu Kuang's voice fell lightly into their ears:
"In alchemy, we must not only focus on the sculpting of the magic circle, but also the coordination between the mechanical parts. Those alchemy priests who only focus on the magic circle will always fall into the inferior category."
When the two heard this, they both felt it made sense.
Henry laughed and said:
"Okay, I'll buy thirty shots, and you can sell me some bullets too."
Xu Kuang thought for a while and finally said:
"How about ten thousand bullets, thirty guns, and one thousand gold coins?"
"good.".
Zhang Damiao quickly turned around, the corners of his mouth twitching, he couldn't help it anymore.
The cost of these things didn't even cost 10 gold coins, so Xu Kuang directly added two retail items and sold them.
Xu Kuang asked:
"Would you like to go to my school?"
Henry thought for a while, nodded, and said to Xu Kuang:
"Although the school I disliked the most when I was a child, I think the school here in Brother Xu's place is very different from what I have seen."
"Haha, then you may be disappointed.".
Henry followed Xu Kuang to the school. After walking around, he still felt the familiar shock.
What shocked Henry was not how luxurious the school was or how high-end the courses were, but the size of the school.
In this school alone, there are more than 3,000 people attending classes, and there are three or four schools like this in Mogu Ridge.
Henry couldn't help but said:
"I wonder how they calculate tuition fees?"
"There is no tuition fee. If you don't come, you need to pay the fee and state the reason."
Henry fell into silence for a long time. After a moment, he smiled and said:
"Brother Xu is really generous. I believe it won't be long before Mogu Ridge will be flooded with talents of all kinds, right?"
Xu Kuang smiled and said:
"Although this is true, I don't know what kind of material can be taught."
Henry has made up his mind that he must not conflict with Xu Kuang and the others in the future. Not only is it not worth it, but it is also easy to suffer big losses.
A group of people walked around and came to the industrial area.
Henry's heart skipped a beat when he saw the fast-moving loom:
"Brother Xu, you are robbing money."
Xu Kuang smiled and said to Henry:
"It's just a small fight.".
…
The day passed quickly, and Henry finally got to know Mushroom Ridge. He sent a letter to the store in Morrel City, asking them to send someone to open a branch. There was no need to prepare the things used by the alchemy priests. Just sell raw materials.
There is another letter, written to the other side, which states that if there is any need from Mushroom Ridge in the future, we can provide help directly without asking for instructions.
After passing the letter, Henry lay down on the chair and exhaled gently.
"Brother Xu, I really want to see what you can develop into in the future.".
…
Xu Kuang didn't have a chance to rest. He summoned the top management of Mogu Ridge to explain the future development direction of Mogu Ridge, and put forward a plan that surprised everyone.
"In the next three months, capture Balsamic Ridge!".
Except for Zhuge Duan and the two newly joined generals, everyone else was surprised.
This plan was discussed between Xu Kuang and Zhuge Duan a long time ago. If you want to capture Xiangcheng Town, you must first capture the one between Xiangtao Ridge and Balsam Melon Ridge between the two places as a bridgehead, ready to attack at any time. .
Xu Kuang looked at Zhang Damiao and Chen Xiaohu and asked:
"Do you have any opinions?".
Chen Xiaohu was the first to respond:
"I have no objection. Now the army has basically taken shape, and it will definitely be put into actual combat after a few months of training."
Zhang Damiao seconded the proposal.
Xu Kuang nodded and looked at the person in charge of the arsenal:
"The gun barrels will be equipped for you within this period of time. Within three months, I will have everyone in the Mushroom Ridge garrison equipped with a gun, and all other equipment must be equipped."
"no problem.".
Xu Kuang looked at everyone and said:
"Don't relax, everyone. Our current situation is still very delicate. If we don't handle it well, there will be great dangers in the future. The next two battles are likely to be just a preview, or in these two battles. Before that, we will encounter a battle that is more intense than before."
When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed.
They all understood what the battle referred to before was.
If all the lords could unite as one, Mushroom Ridge would now belong to the enemy.
