&1t;/strong>"It goes without saying that Brother Du's strength, but he must be a little lacking in managing the strongholds. It is also a matter of my own. I will come here to give me some advice... Oh, Brother Du, don't misunderstand, the city you have captured is yours. After I help you deploy the city defense, I will leave immediately. My hand will never reach you." Wu Wei smiled faintly and said.

"What is General Wu saying? How could Du think so? Speaking of which, this time, Du was entrusted and failed to capture the No. 38 stronghold. I hope General Wu will forgive him." Du Fan took a deep breath and said with a serious face.

"This is nothing. I assigned you the No. 38 stronghold, which was just one of the choices. The purpose was nothing more than to have your own stronghold and then use this as a basis to serve Zhongzhou.

Now you have successfully built a stronghold. As for whether this stronghold is No. 37 or No. 38, what does it matter?" Wu Wei's smile remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about Du Fan's "loss".

"Then I'll thank General Wu for understanding." Du Fan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and bowed to Wu Wei.

"Brother Du, how did you deal with the enemy monk?" Wu Wei asked with a different question.

"I was killed by the Jindan monk in charge. As long as the rest are alive, they are locked up in the city by me. Whether these people are recruited or rebelled, or otherwise, General Wu will do whatever he feels good. I have no objection." Du Fan replied.

"Brother Du is beautiful in his work. OK, so let me leave this part of the people, and you can take me over later."

"No problem." Du Fan agreed readily, then looked at the giant boat and asked, "General Wu, why did this number of people come? There should be less than a thousand people."

"Don't worry, this is just the first batch. Yuzhe will come in the next week, including the 1,000 miners you recruited. By the way, Brother Baili is also with them." Wu Wei explained.

Du Fan nodded, made a gesture of invitation to General Wu, and said, "General Wu, the boats and cars are exhausted, let's talk about it before entering the city."

"good."

...

This time, Wu Wei not only brought a hundred monks, but also a large number of battlefield supplies to repair cities, build magic circles, modify city guard equipment, etc.

Of course, these battlefield supplies were not provided by Wu Wei’s friendship, but were counted as the 30% grant that he had promised to Du Fan.

In the next few days, General Wu personally took the battle and directed the monks to rebuild the city defense work. Du Fan followed General Wu and really learned a lot.

A week later, all the people sent from the Third Battalion arrived, with more than 6,000 monks and about 1,000 ordinary villagers. Among the monks, there were more than 200 strong foundation-building powerhouses, and the rest were naturally cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

During this period, General Wu also inspected the situation in the mining area and put forward many valuable opinions on the environment of the mining area, the quality of the spiritual ore, which benefited Du Fan a lot. After all, he is not good at this area and needs to be constantly learned and understood.

"Brother Du, in recent times, your task is not to mine the mining veins, but to deploy city defenses overnight according to the framework I gave to deal with the enemy's counterattack soon... According to my estimate, the range from getting news from the other party to organizing an effective attack is about three to five months, and you must be mentally prepared." Wu Wei patted Du Fan's shoulder and was not at all.

"Will the enemy send out the powerful Nascent Soul power?" Du Fan asked.

"Under normal circumstances, it's not possible, because from the beginning of the war, it's not too short, and we have already formed a tacit understanding between each other. As long as one side does not send out the powerful Nascent Soul power, the other side basically won't, even if it's throwing away a stronghold.

Don't worry, if the other party is anxious and can't hold back and take the lead in breaking this unwritten rule on the battlefield, then you don't have to worry about the rest. Leave it to us a few old guys." Wu Wei replied.

"Okay, I get it."

Finally, Wu Wei left, and with him, there were thousands of enemy monks and prisoners, who claimed to have taken them back to instill ideas...

...

The former site of the No. 37 stronghold in the Eighth Station District of Chongzhou has now been renamed the No. 70 stronghold of the Third Camp of the Southwest Fortress.

"Deacon Feng, I have a specialized in my skills and I am not as good as you in the city defense deployment. You will be more worried in the future. In terms of resources, materials, and manpower, if you need it, tell me at any time." Du Fan said to an old man in the main hall.

"Don't worry, Elder Du, I will do my best to do this." The old man surnamed Feng promised.

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy first." Du Fan smiled slightly and said with a gentle attitude.

"I'll leave." The old man surnamed Feng bowed and walked out of the hall.

When there were only two people left in the hall, Du Fan immediately ordered Bailichou: "Advisor, set off immediately and go to the nearby villages and towns that are free from the war, and attract as many miners as possible.

This time it is not a training and test for you, nor is it a joke, so you don’t have to worry about money or anything. It is better to recruit people quickly than anything else. If it is not enough, go directly to the big family to grab them... Remember to hide your identity, act carefully, and don’t be seen by anyone, including ours."

"Yes." Bailichou didn't say a word of nonsense. After responding, he walked out of the hall directly.

"This war is completely different from what I had imagined before. As long as you are careful, there is no danger.

Maybe you can call Chen Ru, Ren Ziwen, Xiao Yun, Ghost Girl, Han Qianxue and others to help. Bai Li Qiu and I are really too busy..."

Du Fan lay on a large and comfortable handsome chair, drinking tea while thinking actively.

"The others are too far away. I can't walk away now and can't go to pick me up. I'd better call Chen Ru here first."

He quickly made a decision, raised his fingers and said to the winged flying rings: "Wife, are you there?"

After about a dozen breaths, Chen Ru's voice came from the ring: "Hey, husband, what happened over you is going smoothly, there is no danger, right?"

"There is no danger at all, it's just a serious shortage of people and reliable people... You think of a way to transfer it to me, the faster the better. If you can't handle it, tell me and I will tell you directly."

"What the hell is wrong?"

"You will know when you come here, I will be happy to you!"

"...Husband, what are you talking about..." In the low voice, you can imagine Chen Ru's shy appearance at this time.

Du Fan was stunned and laughed in silence: "Wife, your thoughts may have gone astrayed... However, if you want to, you can also be satisfied with your husband. Last time Xueying made trouble, our affairs were not done. This time we will continue our relationship." (To be continued.)
