Chapter 424 - Disclosure of the Fla Flood Dragon Cloudship Is Forbidden. Violators Will Be Treated as Traitors to the Fortress
Wang Xing'an was grinning more joyfully than a 300-jin baby.
"My dear General Zhang, you have no idea what's going on in the Armory. That Shen Mo—he's a one-in-a-million... no, one-in-ten-million genius!"
"He's a treasure bestowed upon our Armory by the heavens!"
"So ti ago, he had already mastered the repair of Thunder Falcon, Snow Eagle, and Black Hawk cloudships."
"I inspected them—ten ships in total, all repaired perfectly, ready for deploynt on the battlefield."
"Today, he built a cloudship even larger than the Black Hawk. In terms of size, firepower, and every possible aspect, it completely outclasses the Black Hawk!"
Wang Xing'an was beside himself with excitent, spraying spittle as he spoke.
A few drops nearly hit Zhang Longxiang in the face.
Zhang Longxiang calmly wiped his face and asked seriously, "Old Wang, are you being serious? You're not dreaming again?"
"You once ran to saying you were ready to start building Thunder Falcon cloudships and asked for ten jars of Fiery Brew. Twenty years passed, and not a single thing ca of it."
Wang Xing'an gave an embarrassed chuckle and scratched his head. "Well, sothing did co of it."
"What ca of it?"
"I drank all ten jars of Fiery Brew in one day."
Zhang Longxiang: "..."
Wang Xing'an spoke seriously, "General Zhang, I hope you can spare so ti and take a look."
"This ti, I swear I'm not lying!"
"If I'm lying, I'll resign from my position as commander on the spot!"
Zhang Longxiang waved him off. "Don't do that. If you quit, no one will manage the Armory. None of the other commanders want to be assigned there."
Wang Xing'an chuckled. "It'll be different from now on. With Shen Mo in the Armory, it won't be the coldest and most forgotten post in logistics anymore!"
Listening to Wang Xing'an, Zhang Longxiang got the sense that he wasn't lying.
Coincidentally, he wasn't busy at the mont either. After a mont of thought, he nodded, still half-skeptical. "Alright, I'll go with you to the Armory."
"If you're lying to , you know what the consequences will be."
Wang Xing'an nodded like a pecking bird. "Don't worry! I'm well aware!"
"But before we go, it's best you change your appearance. Don't let anyone know it's you."
Zhang Longxiang frowned. "Is that really necessary?"
Wang Xing'an replied sternly, "Very! Who knows if the Xuanwu Fortress has been infiltrated by demons?"
Zhang Longxiang sighed. "Fine."
He waved a hand, spiritual energy surging.
In the blink of an eye, his body beca taller.
His facial features only shifted slightly, but his whole appearance looked different.
Now he looked like a tall and burly man who cultivated physical strength techniques.
"Let's go."
The two of them left the tower and headed straight for the Armory.
Class-B warehouse.
Soone knocked at the door from outside.
Li Heitan, without a word, pressed against the door. "No one is allowed to enter! Commander Wang said so—no exceptions!"
From outside ca Wang Xing'an's voice. "Heitan, it's ! Wang Xing'an!"
Li Heitan sneered. "That trick's already been used. Don't think you can fake Commander Wang's voice and fool !"
The Demon Suppression Guards in the Armory were extrely curious about what Shen Mo and the others were doing inside the Class-B warehouse.
Normally, Wang Xing'an only allowed regular guards access to the Class-D and Class-C warehouses.
But he never let anyone in or out of the Class-B warehouse.
And sure enough, when curiosity gets strong enough, people will try anything.
Earlier, a guard had impersonated Wang Xing'an's voice, trying to trick Li Heitan into opening the door.
But Wu Zhanyun, who had spent years with Wang Xing'an, saw through the deception imdiately.
Outside the door, Wang Xing'an looked at Zhang Longxiang and scratched his head.
Zhang Longxiang was both exasperated and amused. "So how are we getting in?"
Wang Xing'an smacked his lips. "Heitan, there's sothing you once told that you've never told anyone else. Do you rember it?"
From the other side of the door, Li Heitan replied with a stern face, "I rember. If you can say it, then you're really Commander Wang."
Wang Xing'an let out a dramatic sigh. "You told ... you like won whose tongues can split—"
Before he could finish,
Creak—
The warehouse door swung open.
Li Heitan saw it was indeed Wang Xing'an and instantly lit up with surprise.
"It's really you, Commander Wang!"
Wu Zhanyun looked at Li Heitan with a strange expression.
Won with split tongues?
Damn, that's so wild taste!
The warehouse door closed again.
Both Li Heitan and Wu Zhanyun turned their eyes to the tall man beside Wang Xing'an.
"And this is...?" Wu Zhanyun asked curiously.
Wang Xing'an had said the Fla Flood Dragon Cloudship would be one of Xuanwu Fortress's top secrets—why would he bring in so unknown outsider?
Even Shen Mo was slightly surprised.
But he quickly guessed the man's identity.
Zhang Longxiang!
Sure enough, the tall man raised his hand, spiritual energy flowing.
His form and face shifted entirely.
He was none other than the Demon Suppression General of Xuanwu Fortress—Zhang Longxiang!
Li Heitan and Wu Zhanyun were both startled and quickly bowed in salute.
Shen Mo cupped his fists and greeted, "Greetings, General Zhang."
Zhang Longxiang nodded, his gaze already fixed involuntarily on the massive cloudship before him.
His eyes were filled with astonishnt.
Such a colossal cloudship—not only had he never seen it before, it didn't even exist in the Heavenly Dao Treasury.
Anything that had ever appeared in this world could be exchanged in the Heavenly Dao Treasury.
If sothing wasn't there, it ant it had never existed before.
This cloudship... had truly been built by Shen Mo.
Wang Xing'an hadn't lied.
Wang Xing'an chuckled. "General Zhang, you see it now. Doesn't this count as a top-secret asset of Xuanwu Fortress?"
Zhang Longxiang nodded solemnly. "It does. From today onward, the existence of this cloudship must not be known by anyone other than those present."
"Anyone who leaks it will be treated as a traitor to the fortress!"
Wu Zhanyun and Li Heitan were both shocked and nodded gravely.
They already understood how important the Fla Flood Dragon Cloudship was.
But hearing it declared from Zhang Longxiang's mouth made its significance all the more real.
Even the mighty Demon Suppression General Zhang Longxiang said so—
The importance of the Fla Flood Dragon Cloudship was beyond question.
Zhang Longxiang looked at Shen Mo, his eyes sharp. "Shen Mo, I truly didn't expect that you would have such astounding talent in this field."
Shen Mo smiled. "Thanks to the Colossal Machinery Classic. I never imagined I'd have an affinity for it either."
Zhang Longxiang gave a slight nod. "I've heard of the Colossal Machinery Classic. Ao Guang of Panlong Fortress studied it, but even after a thousand years, he never claid to have fully mastered the first volu."
"That proves your talent is truly exceptional."
Zhang Longxiang thought for a mont. "Roughly how many days would it take you to build one of these... Fla Flood Dragon Cloudships?"
Shen Mo considered. "If the materials are sufficient, one ship every five days."
Zhang Longxiang nodded. "Good. Give the list of required materials to Wang Xing'an. If the fortress has them, take them directly from the warehouse. If not, exchange for them from the Heavenly Dao Treasury."
"If you don't have enough rit, co to for it!"
He sighed emotionally. "With just five of these cloudships, we can create overwhelming firepower on the battlefield. That will keep many Demon Suppression Guards from dying needlessly."
Shen Mo responded seriously, "I understand."
Zhang Longxiang patted his shoulder. "Xuanwu Fortress desperately needs these cloudships!"
"They will beco critical assets in resisting the demon race!"
