Chapter 143: Tiger Pass (1/3)
en what Lu Cheng was very curious, what would Qixing say"The Seven Stars' power has only recently awakened, it's about the same time when you, my junior brother, went straight to sail across the ocean...Lu Cheng proposed to Yuan Shao that he would provide the Allied forces with a large amount of supplies, enough for 5000 men to eat for 20 days.
The Allied forces are already fractured, and with Luoyang destroyed and the strategic importance of Hulao Pass lost, it's best if Lü Cheng takes over.
As for what official position Lü Cheng held, how many soldiers he had, and whether or not he could hold his ground, none of that concerned the warlords present.
In just one hour, the feudal lords reached a conclusion. They temporarily "lent" Hulao Pass to Lu Cheng, and Yuan Shao even promised to help Lu Cheng obtain the position of pavilion chief after rescuing the emperor.
Hulaoguan is finally in my hands.
Lu Cheng returned to 【Yushan】, intending to set up a formidable pass.
But Lu Cheng ran into trouble, the card maker also studied architecture... But civil engineering surveying was not his forte.
I haven't thought about putting the Hulao Pass back in its original location.
But the site of Beiguan used to be only a humble watchtower. Over time, successive commanders embezzled funds, and now even the watchtower is gone.
While Hulaoguan is a truly formidable pass from the Three Kingdoms era, it's incomparable in both size and strength to any other.
Leaving it in its current location doesn't seem quite right, so where should it be placed instead
After the actual inspection, Lu Cheng believed that the checkpoint should be placed ahead of schedule, between Beifeng and the North Sea tributary.
The former sentry gates were only used to deal with the monster hordes, but Lu Cheng's purpose is different. He needs to use the card 【Ghost City Mountain - North Gate】 to deal with card masters, that is, enemies from outside. It is essential to position the gate in advance.
The north peak of Youdu Mountain is unusually perilous, and at the foot of the peak lies a tributary of the North Sea. The current is swift. If a formidable pass were to be built here, connecting the north peak and the river, it would be extremely difficult to break through.
And to the north of Youdu Mountain lay a vast wasteland. Lü Cheng planned to use this area as his point of impact when launching attacks with his domain cards in the future.
The enemy's cards can only appear in the wasteland, either climb the North Peak or "cross the river in white" over the North Sea. If you want to steadily expand your territory with a four-square eight-stable card, you can only attack [Hulao] which spans the mountain and river!
But there's a downside to building here. While placing the card will erect a gate in this location, it doesn't mean it will seamlessly integrate with the surrounding terrain.
The terrain here is still natural and would require extensive modifications to accommodate the [Tiger Pass]. Furthermore, the pass itself would need significant alterations, resulting in substantial expenses.
These are nothing major. The biggest problem is that if it's built here, this level will be completely different from the checkpoint, only outward-facing and not inward-facing.
The is acceptable as a place for logistics and work, but the is one's root, absolutely not to be taken lightly.
Lu Cheng was very worried about the ghost beast tide that Zhong Yuanjie would have to face. He wondered how strong it would be and, without any fortified passes, how Zhong Yuanjie could possibly cope.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Cheng took out his gold card 【Chen Yu Fang】.
Mount Yōdō is its own domain card, but it's also a transformed secret realm.
Then, why don't we see what this card can do
Lu Cheng used the [Chen Yu Fang].
I waited a while, but there was no response.
What's going on...
> One more time
Lu Cheng once again used [Chen Yu Fang].
This time, a gigantic sunken fish-shaped barge appeared right before them!
The flower boats crushed the flowers, grasses, and trees on the mountain peak. A group of rabbits were startled and ran in all directions.
"The Chen Yu Painting Boat [Ling Hua] has been temporarily added to your deck."
Lu Cheng clicked his tongue in admiration.
Their boat can actually fly and travel underground... This Chenyu Pavilion is too amazing!
Lu Cheng just wanted to say something.......
"Sir, could you please not throw us onto land next time! At least don't drop us in the mountains!!"
.......
Lu Cheng was sweating profusely, holding a pile of wood beside the wedding dress. One person like Yue handed over a silk scarf.
After hearing that the pleasure boat couldn't travel on land or fly, Lu Cheng quickly summoned his card to the North Sea tributary below the mountain.
However, placing the pleasure boats in the mountains inevitably caused some damage to their hulls due to the rocks.
"As the moon maiden, look, it's fixed! I told you, nothing serious, just not very pretty. But trust me, it's stronger now!"
"Actually, there's no need to trouble you, Young Master. You just need to pay some money, and we'll handle it ourselves.~" This time, as usual, it was Yue who led the team, but they didn't expect Lu Cheng to directly throw the pleasure boat to the foot of the mountain.
Paying...doesn't that just mean you have no money!
Fortunately, Lu Cheng was a card maker. It was easy for him to repair the painting boat with materials cards.
Lu Cheng looked at the Yue girl in front of him, he had to say, their efficiency was really fast, with just a card, a painting boat could arrive, similar to the [Saint Girl].
I wonder who would win in a fight, the ghost ship [Linghua] of the Ghost Ship Guild or the ghostly ship [Saint's Grace] of the Gousi family.
"Young Master, I wonder what you wish to speak with us about" Ruyue asked in a sweet voice.
“Oh, I want to ask, about this Youdu Mountain - Beiguan Ghost Beast Tide hidden information. I want to rebuild a pass, but I want to build it outside the mountain.”
"Master, please wait a moment~"
.......
Lu Cheng stood at the bow of the ship, drinking tea. The legend card indeed looked like a legend card. Don't even mention whether it was effective or not, at least the efficiency was very fast.
They seem to have a special way of communicating with the Soul-Stirring Pavilion. In just a moment, the message came back.
"Young Master, the Youtu Mountain outpost was built to defend against the disturbances of the beasts within the mountains. However, over time, corruption has taken hold and the fortress no longer exists. The beast tide appears during the Zhongyuan Festival, and according to the pattern, this year's tide will be unprecedentedly large," Ruo Yue said seriously.
Lu Cheng frowned....... Could he only build the pass at its original location, to prevent a beast horde
As if seeing through Lü Cheng's thoughts, Ruyu smiled sweetly.
"You don't need to worry, you can completely build your defenses in the location you desire. We have some intel for you, the 967th Guardian General was your predecessor, he once repelled a massive horde of demonic beasts, so he's very experienced and now he's a Ghost Marshal. You can seek his help before the eve of the Hungry Ghost Festival~ He will surely be able to help you through this difficult time~".
"He's so handsome... will he even notice me" Lu sighed, but the Chenyu Pavilion did offer a solution to the demon tide. This card was unexpectedly useful."
"Sir, here is the other party's address, birthdate, preferences, family members' preferences, and some other information, such as... well... anyway, rest assured, please take a look~"
"Damn it!"
Lu Cheng almost fell off the boat.
Labor and management will no longer quarrel over this card!
"Young Master, is there anything else you command"
"Can you still help Why don't you leave" Lu Chengqi said.
Of course, within three days, we will all remain in Youdu Mountain to alleviate your worries and troubles. You can use us however you wish!
That's amazing!!!
Lu Cheng licked his lips, looking at the charming beauty before him. He couldn't help but have some wicked thoughts... It was impossible!
"Girl, come on, get your sisters to help me move these bricks for the city wall!"
.......rom some noble family, otherwise you couldn't have reached the level of a Gold Card Master. In fact, we could cooperate. You've also modified your body with cards. Actually, I knew it all along, we ha...
