Chapter 63: The Castle Plan

Although the Little Princess was young, she grew up in the Imperial Palace and her mind had long been mature. Seeing her Teacher’s appearance, she knew something was wrong, and hurriedly and carefully said: “Teacher, what’s wrong with you? Is it very difficult? How about~”

“Nothing of the sort!” Rui Li immediately smiled: “I just remembered some things from when I was young. Alright, let’s leave it at that, I will go find that Old Bastard to challenge now, you go rest too, remember to conserve your energy, tomorrow, I will teach you the specific usage and steps, this time, I guarantee to let you have your fill of fun! As long as you don’t kill Little Steven, you can do whatever you want!”

“Ha! Thank you, Teacher!” The Little Princess immediately hugged Rui Li excitedly.

“Hehe, silly child, you are my only one, if I don’t help you who will I help!” Rui Li smiled slightly, then patted the Little Princess’s head, turned around and left.

After the Ice Magic Saint left, the Little Princess also got out of bed, then suddenly said to herself: “Huh, why is my mood still not good? It seems I should find a way to be happy!”

Thinking of this, she immediately shouted loudly: “Liao·Chaoqun!”

“At your service!” A tall and big Guard immediately walked in. This person was called Liao·Chaoqun, the leader of the Princess’s Guards, he and his subordinates, more than twenty people, were specifically responsible for the Little Princess’s safety work. Of course, besides this, there was another job that made him both distressed and fond of, and that was coaxing the Princess to be happy.

After Liao·Chaoqun came in, he knelt on one knee, then took off his helmet and said respectfully: “Princess, you called for me?”

“Hmph!” The Little Princess nodded, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped Liao·Chaoqun’s face hard. Only hearing slap~ slap~ slap~, a series of slaps landed on Liao·Chaoqun’s face. Poor Liao·Chaoqun, a Warrior with strength as high as Level 4, not only could not resist, but also had to try his best to restrain the Battle Qi in his body to avoid hurting the Princess’s small hand, so that face quickly swelled up like a pig’s head.

After dozens of slaps, the Little Princess’s hand was a bit sore, then she stopped, panting slightly and said: “Ah, now my mood is much better! Let’s go!” After saying that, she took Liao·Chaoqun and walked towards the residence in the Academy.

…

Speaking of the Ice Magic Saint Rui Li, after leaving the Little Princess, she ran non-stop to find the Old Mage. As soon as she entered the Old Mage’s fortress, she went straight to the Mage Tower, moving in and out freely, the Magic Traps and Combat Puppet guards along the way did not trigger, it can be seen that she was definitely very familiar here with the Old Mage, and also possessed extremely high authority, otherwise, she would have been knocked down by the overwhelming Magic Traps long ago.

Of course, Rui Li could not find the Old Mage, because at this time the Old Mage was still bickering with Old Xie in the distance. Not seeing anyone, Rui Li was not in a hurry, she found a luxurious room to go in and sit by herself, the steward of the Mage Tower, Chris, served her a lot of exquisite food, obviously already used to this.

At this time, the Old Mage, who was thousands of miles away, was still arguing with Old Xie about the price of the stolen goods, suddenly stunned, then smiled bitterly: “Rui Li came to find me, it seems, she can’t wait to get back at me.”

“How do you know she’s here?” Old Xie couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“Hehe, do you think the Mage Tower is given for free?” The Old Mage said proudly with a smile: “Although I am not there, everything happening inside is under my control. Alright, I have to go back, let’s talk about those things later, but no matter what, you must never take them out to sell, the influence of the Augustus Family spreads all over the Continent, as soon as the things are exposed, it will definitely be exposed!”

“Alright, I know!” Old Xie said impatiently. Thinking to himself, so what if I expose them? I don’t believe that materials snatched and manufactured into finished products can still be recognized?

For Old Xie, the Old Mage had no good method either, who told this kid to be a master he didn’t dare to provoke easily. Actually, the Old Mage was not afraid that Old Xie wouldn’t play the grandson for him, if that were the case, he would have used force to make this disobedient little bastard submit long ago.

But the problem was, beating the little one didn’t matter, he was afraid of provoking the old one behind. Don’t forget, the Old Mage knew who Old Xie’s mother was, she was a proper Level 8, that is, a Legendary Expert. Although Old Xie’s mother threw Old Xie away, this obviously didn’t mean she didn’t care about Old Xie, otherwise she wouldn’t have given Old Xie the exclusive magic mark. Plus Old Xie was indeed his nephew, after all, they were related by blood, so no matter from what angle, the Old Mage, no matter how dissatisfied with Old Xie’s arrogance, could only coax him, not daring to use force at all, nor could he use force.

After the Old Mage left, Old Xie also let go and continued to carnival with his Underlings, and then began to count their achievements these days.

Now, the Imps had stepped onto the right track, each commanding a Steel Golem, according to Old Xie’s request, these 200 Imps and 200 Steel Golems had undergone a drill, when the war started, the Steel Golems would form a steel City Wall, firmly blocking the front, while the Imps shot with Hand Crossbows from behind.

And the Cyclops, under the cover of the Steel Golems, could fully display their perverted long-range firepower. In addition, Old Xie also had a surprisingly fast surprise force, which was the joint force composed of the Savage Bull King, Wyvern King and Demon Explosive Spider family, these guys were definitely faster than cavalry, and the impact was also first-class, when the time came, whether it was charging the formation or chasing and killing, they were very sharp.

With these subordinates, Old Xie finally had some foundation and strength in his hands. It’s just that they all belonged to guys with strange faces, they couldn’t easily show their faces in the Imperial Capital, and could only settle down here.

But in any case, having such a base was a very good thing. In fact, although this was a desolate Great Gobi, there was plenty of oil and water. You know, the geographical location here was too good, almost in the center of the Continent, surrounded by the Orcs in the north, the Barbarian Plateau in the south, the Kingdom of Dwarves in the west, and the two Kingdoms of the Human Race in the east. In this way, whether the Human Race communicated with the Dwarves, or the Barbarians on the plateau communicated with the Orcs, they had to pass through here.

Moreover, the Griffin Kingdom of the Human Race blocked between the Beast Race and the Empire of Light, if they wanted to trade, and were unwilling to be taxed by the World Kingdom, they could also bypass the Griffin Kingdom from the Great Gobi. This was what Pars and the others did.

Although the Great Gobi was hard to cross, it still couldn’t stop greedy Merchants, so Caravans often passed by here. After learning about the situation, Old Xie made up his mind to be the king of the mountain here, want to pass, fine, pay money!

Of course, to realize this great wish, strong force was necessary. Old Xie’s strength in hand was already enough. Besides that, naturally, there was also a need for a Castle that could attack and defend.

Old Xie also had a plan for this, after integrating the troops under his command, he began to build a sturdy fortress. Actually, this was very simple, because there was already a prototype of a fortress all around, what he had to do was to connect the buildings around the square, build city gates, and then clean up the ruins outside, at least so that there could be no cover within a range of 200 meters. Actually, logically speaking, it should be safer to cut down all the trees around the Castle, so that even if enemies came, they wouldn’t have wood to build siege engines.

But Old Xie didn’t care too much about this, for him, this defense was enough, if it still couldn’t hold, then teleporting away immediately was the right way. Anyway, his strength was improving by leaps and bounds every day, as long as he was given time, there would always be a day to get back at them.
