Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 269
Construction of the fort began. The fort in the eastern region will be built as high as twenty meters with one main gate and three emergency gates.
But it took a short time to complete the project because according to the plan the fort will be built along the coast of Qian Gu City.
At the same time, troops from the capital came at the behest of the emperor to help tighten the guard. They were stationed around the coast and were tasked with overseeing the area.
"What do you think?" xuan Yang asked Zhang Yu who had been staring seriously at some of the chief workers who were in charge of organizing the construction of the fort.
"..."
Seeing that Zhang Yu was silent, Xuan Yang again said, "I know what you're thinking. With the approximate time it would take to build this fortress, it might not be possible if the group of demon towers came back."
"However, doesn't anyone know for sure of their arrival? We can only hope they don't come back anytime soon. Or not even back at all."
Zhang Yu slowly raised his face while taking a deep breath. "I'm sure it killed everyone on board. Without any information about this land, the group of demonic towers would not be easy to find."
"One to two years is definitely not a short time. But it seems like we have no other choice for now," Zhang Yu added.
...
Day by day passed. The construction of the fort continues along the coastal strip of Qian Gu City.
But not only the workers, the members of the Xiao Clan, the townspeople, even the Niao Tribe were mobilizing their strength to cut time faster.
One month, two months ....
The fort is estimated to be completed within one and a half years, but only entered the ninth month of construction of the fort has reached seventy percent.
Zhang Yu watched it from the outside. The smile on his face could no longer be hidden seeing how everyone was shoulder to shoulder in order to build a protective fortress.
"It turns out you're here." Xuan Yin came up with a scroll.
"There's a letter from my father to you" he said.
Zhang Yu spontaneously grabbed it. When he opened it and read the first line, he frowned and looked at the now confused wife.
"What's wrong?" asked Xuan Yin.
Xuan Yin stared fixedly at the letter before him. "Oh, I just remembered that half the imperial army returned to the capital. However they should not be in a hurry considering they had already painstakingly had time to meet family and siblings but instead had to return to Qian Gu City immediately."
"It looks like things are safe here anyway. Don't you?"
Zhang Yu wanted to nod his head with his wife's words. But suddenly he felt an inexplicable unease. An aura of power emanating from the direction of the sea.
"It-it ...." Somehow this feeling was the same feeling upon the arrival of the demon tower group ship that time. But Zhang Yu did not want to be rash and intended to make sure by looking for a higher place.
Xuan Yin had no idea what was happening. He just stared at the puzzled husband who suddenly climbed to the top of the fortress and looked out into the middle of the sea.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the group of demon towers has already come?" asked Xuan Yin from below.
Other than Xuan Yin, some people who happened to see Zhang Yu above the fortress were curious.
"Zhang Yu, what's wrong?" ask Patriarch Zhang Lei. The old man immediately went up because he could not bear the curiosity.
When he was already on top of the fortress, his eyes twitched watching the three fast-moving ships from the middle of the sea.
"Me-they ... Are they really a group of demon towers?" muttered.
The closer the distance between them made Zhang Lei able to read the writing on the screens of the three ships. "The "Devil Tower" was written so clearly that everyone could easily read it.
"They really came. I can't believe they found Zhen Yang Land sooner than I thought." Zhang Yu looked towards the workers below. Those who are still doing work may be the time to end it because soon there will be a fight.
"Zhang Yu, why are you standing here? What are you looking at?" Xuan Yang went up to the top of the fortress with great curiosity.
But the look on his face was completely frozen when he saw three large ships with black flags.
"Demon Tower! They're the group you meant before, right?" tanyakanya.
Zhang Yu nodded his head. "really. But it seems like this time they came with more people."
"What's your plan?" asked Xuan Yang.
Zhang Yu was silent for a moment before answering him without hesitation. "There's no other choice. We have to face them."
