Chapter 849: The City Beyond
Chapter 849: The City Beyond
Lu HaiKong had long envisioned the construction of the City Beyond, and after obtaining the Divine Construction Order, he immediately set out to turn this vision into reality.
Upon returning to Bingzhou, Lu HaiKong took swift action and personally led the reconnaissance of the grasslands.
To that end, Lu HaiKong first visited Fengling Valley and then deployed troops to secure the grasslands.
Although the construction of the City Beyond had not yet begun, Lu HaiKong reaped significant benefits from these two actions.
The first action inadvertently released magical soldiers and gained a group of Qin refugees, while the second action directly secured a marriage agreement with Yue'er and an immeasurable war advantage.
Although Lu HaiKong had not yet built the City Beyond, the conditions for its construction were now fully mature. With Lu HaiKong's determination, the vast influence under his command could easily bring the City Beyond to fruition.
Of course, while it might be easy, there were still many considerations. Site selection, resource allocation, material gathering, and various other matters were no small tasks.
This time, Lu HaiKong did not intend to delegate these tedious tasks to others. Firstly, it was his mission, and secondly, there was no one in his command capable of taking full responsibility for this task.
However, Lu HaiKong did not entirely take on this task alone. He was well aware of his shortcomings in this area, so he established a team dedicated to the construction of the City Beyond.
The leader of this team was none other than Lu HaiKong himself. The advisors were Xi Zhi Cai and Wang Jun, but they only provided experiential support and were not typically part of the team. The actual members included Lu HaiKong, Li Xiong, and a group of talented individuals selected from the Li Cai Xue Gong.
It's worth mentioning that Xun Yu forced his uncle, Xun Yan, to join the team, forming a small group of ten.
This small team lacked experience and was quite green, but due to the majority being young scholars, they were filled with youthful vigor and enthusiasm. Lu HaiKong clearly intended to use this opportunity to cultivate a batch of administrative talents.
With this team in tow, Lu HaiKong's small group set sail, tackling site selection, logistics allocation, and even the migration of personnel.
The preparation work for the City Beyond alone took nearly a month, and Lu HaiKong's team barely managed to complete the necessary tasks.
Naturally, during this month, the small team made numerous mistakes, turning the entire month into a period of error and correction.
However, these errors were primarily concentrated in the first half of the month, partly due to the work done in the initial two weeks. As Lu HaiKong's team matured, two individuals joined their ranks.
Before this, Xi Zhi Cai had sent Guo Jia to the Huo Camp and a boy named A Fu to join Lu HaiKong's team, and their arrival significantly changed the team's dynamics.
Contrary to expectations, Guo Jia and A Fu became the focal point of opposition within the team. The main issue was that Guo Jia took it upon himself to nitpick and find fault with the small team.
In life, no one enjoys having someone nitpick and find faults in front of them, and the members of Lu HaiKong's team were no exception.
But Guo Jia's nitpicking was not without cause, as his criticisms were directed at the team's work and were always substantiated.
With Guo Jia's addition, the group of scholars in the small team became more closely united, vowing to leave Guo Jia speechless and unable to find a single fault.
In this positive competitive environment, whether Guo Jia grew was unclear, but the scholars in the small team certainly did.
Initially estimated to require two months of preparation, they completed the task for Lu HaiKong in just one month.
The primary preparation for the City Beyond was not in its construction but in its population and resources. Lu HaiKong needed to prepare for a county-level city's population and the various materials required for their livelihood.
Lu HaiKong had no intention of building an empty city. He required a truly populated city, at least one that could guarantee the livelihood of its citizens.
Such a city would require extensive preparation, and Lu HaiKong's team embarked on the necessary tasks.
In the realm of Bingzhou, a young man named Lu HaiKong embarks on a journey to establish a new city, 'The City Beyond the Realm.' He meticulously plans the city's layout, utilizing his knowledge from the 'Imperial Seal' and 'Dragon Roar' techniques.
As the construction of the city commences, Lu HaiKong is notified by the system that the city will face attacks during its development. The first wave of assailants is revealed to be a formidable force, the Stone Guardian Legion, consisting of 1 leader, 3 generals, and 3,000 soldiers.
Undeterred, Lu HaiKong, now far from his days as a mountain fortress leader, embraces the challenge. With his acquired skills and the support of his allies, he prepares to defend his city against this formidable legion.
