Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2040: Chapter 206: State Guardian Artifact! Wang Family Giant Cannon_2

Young folks, when they land a treasure, it’s natural to think they’re invincible and feel overconfident, wanting to do something to prove themselves. I get that.

However.

The high-level meeting had just started and barely lasted a cup of tea, yet he already felt veins popping on his forehead.

Another cup of tea later, he couldn’t hold it anymore and slammed the table, roaring, “No way, I firmly disagree with your strategic plan! What do you mean by making me withstand the joint attack of two Great Demon Kings? Do you think I’m the reincarnation of the War God?!”

“Old Zhao Head, one must have some ambition in life, or else what’s the difference from being a salted fish?” Wang Ying Xuan also slammed the table and shouted back, “It’s just two Demonic Kings, isn’t it? Without taking risks, how can one accomplish great deeds?”

“Bah! I’ve only got two hundred years until retirement. I was still thinking of waiting quietly until retirement. At my age, with these old arms and legs, how can I endure tosses and turns, let alone take risks?”

“If you don’t want to progress, just return the Half-immortal Artifact to me…”

“I’m not returning it… Yuxuan, listen to my advice, better safe than sorry.”

“Without experiencing wind and rain, how can one see the rainbow?”

The elder and the young, just like that, kept slamming desks at the high-level meeting, neither willing to back down.

In no time, the atmosphere in the entire meeting room turned tense and full of conflict.

The battalion leaders who heard the commotion rushed over and were instantly shocked into silence upon seeing the situation. At that moment, they all secretly had an inkling that it seemed like something big was about to happen in the East Line Defense Zone’s army group of our Immortal No.2.

Meanwhile.

Wang Licui also arrived at her Tenth Battle Group, and the Big Mouse and Lan Wanyi were very happy to reunite with her, circling around Wang Licui.

Wang Licui didn’t disappoint them, specially bringing many family specialities for them.

Afterwards, Wang Licui continued the unfinished tasks from before her departure, which involved leading the Tenth Battle Group for another “training exercise”, organizing multiple hunting squads to capture edible Demonic Beasts, and expanding the scale of breeding in the Demonic Beast Park and diversifying the breed of Demonic Beasts.

At once, her gourmet venture also ignited fiercely, bustling and lively with great excitement.

…

Meanwhile, as Lici and Yuxuan returned to the troop to start major construction.

Dongqian’s “Spring Thunder Action” was also being meticulously prepared.

North of Return to Dragon City, east of Lingyun Holy Ground, a massive canal stretched across this fertile land like an ancient dragon.

In the canal, vast streams flowed endlessly, nourishing tens of millions or even billions of residents along the banks.

This canal is one of the Grand Canal projects in Da Qian’s century-long engineering plan, known as [Xi Da Grand Canal].

The Grand Canal starts from the Western Sea, meandering all the way through to Dala County, with a branch “Return Dragon Canal” heading south, passing through Lingyun Holy Ground, and finally reaching Return to Dragon City, connecting the entire Northwest Region.

With the completion of the canal, not only was the water source issue in Dala Desolate Desert solved, but also the transportation of large quantities of goods.

This is a true nation-benefiting and people-benefiting major project.

The construction of this Grand Canal took fifty years.

After being officially operational, it took several decades to develop, and now, it has already formed a prosperous economic belt with the canal at its core. The economy of Dala County has soared as a result.

Those large ships that shuttle daily in Return Dragon Canal, busily transporting various materials, are witnesses to all of this.

The massive funds and manpower invested for this project back then have long since recovered. The Prominent Family who took shares in White Cloud Tower at the time are now reaping abundant profits, only regretting not having taken even more shares back then.

Those who were hesitant back then, observing without taking part, are now filled with regret, wishing they could go back in time and give themselves a hard slap. It wasn’t just a lost house or estate they missed out on, but clearly a golden and silver mountain!

And Emperor Zi’an, having tasted the benefits from this major construction, began to crazily invest in expanding the canal. Now, the entire Da Qian’s counties are gradually connected by the canal, making bulk cargo transportation easier and cheaper.

These canals, like blood vessels, now spread across the entire land of Da Qian, becoming one of the lifelines of Da Qian’s economy.

At this moment.

On the vast Return Dragon Canal, a lively and bustling scene unfolded with numerous transport ships adorned with various merchant guild flags.

Amidst the countless transport ships coming and going, a fleet of large transport ships was mixed within.

At the bow of one large transport ship, a young man with calm and distinguished demeanor stood with a group of household guards making routine inspections, using the Thousand-mile Eye to observe the waterway conditions.

Their mission was to escort a batch of “important goods.”

This was a large transport ship with a massive hull and strong carrying capacity, yet the cargo didn’t seem huge.

However, the ship sailed deep, indicating the transported goods were quite heavy. Behind it followed a series of transport ships, tightly covered with tarpaulin, clearly all carrying important goods.

“Fourth young master.” The old head responsible for operating the ship said, “The next stretch of water is called HuiLong Bay, where the currents are slightly swift. But that’s not the most troublesome…”
