Chapter 717 Tianou Director Lu Feng

When the first ray of morning sunlight shone on Lifeng City on Zhubian Island, the sound of tinkling cast iron could be heard in various casting shops in the city.

As the largest weapons and armor manufacturing center in Liaozhou for thousands of years, Zhubian Island has always been one of the main islands with the largest flow of people in the entire Liaozhou.

As the largest coastal city on Zhubian Island, Lifeng City is a holy place in the eyes of all craftsmen of all ethnic groups in Liaozhou.

Zhubian Island is adjacent to Yanrong Island, which has the most abundant natural minerals. Not only are the raw materials needed for various castings in Lifeng City very cheap, but rare ores are often auctioned here.

Therefore, there is no place more suitable than Lifeng City to complete the lifelong pursuit of craftsmen——

Forge a magical weapon that will be passed down through the ages, or a pair of legendary armor, or a pendant with majestic power, and then join the God Forging Association and become a master who will be famous throughout the ages.

Only in this way can they be qualified to permanently live in Lifeng City and continue to pursue perfection on the road of casting.

Not only do the craftsmen regard this place as a holy place to pursue dreams, but the Adventurers Association and the Nine Islands League also attach great importance to this city.

You know, any piece of equipment with the God Forge Association stamped on it represents abnormal quality or lethality.

Only equipment crafted and repaired by the masters of the God Forge Association can have powerful elemental power or divine blessings.

The headquarters of the God Forging Association is located in Lifeng City. Even the failed products discarded by the forging masters are more valuable than the equipment forged by ordinary craftsmen.

But now, whether it is the Adventurers Association, the Nine Islands Alliance, or any other force, one thing must be recognized here.

That is the current owner of this city, who is no longer the owner of the God Forging Association or the Blade Forging Island.

The huge steel warships moored at the seaside; the groups of patrol mechas that walked through the streets of the city from time to time; and the towering modern buildings built on the seaside...

The ownership of Lifeng City, and even the entire Casting Blade Island, has long been completely controlled by the foreign consortium represented by the white gull flag flying on the building.

Tianou Group.

Lu Feng was standing with his hands behind his back at the floor-to-ceiling window of his office on the top floor of Tianou Building, looking down at the Tianou fleet on the sea, shrouded in the light of the rising sun.

This middle-aged man wearing a black suit, with a slim figure but a straight waist, and a look of exhaustion in his cold eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

But soon, there was a knock on the door of his office, and a respectful female voice:

"Director Lu, the financial report sent by the general agent of the four islands has been summarized. Please take a look."

"Enter."

After hearing the sound outside the door, Lu Feng suppressed the tiredness in his eyes, turned around and sat back on the chair behind his sandalwood desk, and responded briefly with a serious voice.

After receiving his instructions, the office door was pushed open.

A tall blond woman from the Hushou tribe wearing a suit and skirt from a Tianou Group employee came in and placed a stack of documents in her hand in front of his desk.

Yes, although Tianou Group's reputation is getting worse day by day, there are still many employees in Liaozhou who are Liaozhou people.

After Lu Feng picked up the stack of documents and flipped through them roughly, he frowned, looked at the Tiger Hunter employee in front of him and said coldly:

"Speak to the head of the data and statistics department later and ask him to organize department employees to have a meeting in the conference room on the 11th floor at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, Director Lu."

After hearing his order, the blond secretary of the Tiger Hunter clan with cat ears nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Lu Feng:

"How is the progress I arranged before?"

Although Lu Feng did not say clearly what it was about, the secretary of the Tiger Hunting Clan understood what Lu Feng was referring to and replied respectfully:

"I have arranged for the children to stay in Yezhu Town according to your instructions."

"There are very few signs of injury on their bodies. The other general agents of Mishima have implemented your orders perfectly and have not abused them."

"It's just that many children refuse to eat due to extreme fear and the sadness of being separated from their families, which makes them physically weak."

The secretary of the Tiger Hunter tribe said this with a complicated expression, paused for a moment, and continued:

"As of yesterday, 70% of the cargo ships scheduled to arrive on Uzawa Island have arrived, while only 50% of the cargo ships scheduled to arrive on Inaba Island have arrived."

"A large portion of the remaining cargo ships that have not yet arrived have almost all been intercepted by horned ghost pirates. The damage to cargo ships attacked by monsters or sirens is basically negligible."

After listening to the report, the chill in Lu Feng's eyes became more serious.

He was in no hurry to give an answer.

But just such silence caused a layer of cold sweat to break out on the face of the Tiger Hunter woman in front of Lu Feng, who could easily kill humans, and he felt an invisible pressure that was enough to suffocate.

This was not the pressure brought to her by Lu Feng, but the pressure brought to her by her position as director of Tianou Group.

In the eyes of the people of Liaozhou on the four islands who are controlled by the Tian'ou Group, the Tian'ou Group is the absolute power of life and death.

Even if he is just the general agent of the main island, he is already someone they want to look up to, let alone Lu Feng, who is the director of Tianou.

"Over there in Yezhu Town, go to the church in Lifeng City and ask the Holy Light Church to send some nuns and priests to Yezhu Town to appease the children. They are good at doing these things."

"It's still the old rules. After the candidates are confirmed, they will be supervised to swear an oath to their gods and no information will be disclosed to the outside world."

"As for the pirates of the Horned Ghost Clan..."

When Lu Feng talked about the Horned Ghost Clan, his tone was filled with murderous intent, and his voice became a little deeper:

"The time for the deal with the Nine Islands Alliance is coming soon. Since those guys are determined to thwart Tianou... I will let the Nine Islands Alliance fight with them dog-eat-dog."

After saying that, Lu Feng cast his cold gaze on the trembling secretary of the Tiger Hunting Tribe in front of him:

"To what extent has the Divine Forging Association repaired the 'Sword of the Brave' excavated from the ruins of Yanrong Island?"

"Lu, Director Lu, yesterday Zhubian He, the island leader of Zhubian Island, reported that although the sword body of the Sword of the Brave has been repaired by 80%, the most critical material for repairing the sword soul still lacks the driving core, the island core source crystal."

Facing Lu Feng's cold eyes, the secretary answered tremblingly.

"That's all that's left, it's very good."

Lu Feng stood up, walked slowly to the secretary of the tiger hunter tribe, raised his hand and patted her shoulder:

"Let Zhubianhe be prepared. Within a week at most, I will deliver the island core source crystal to him."

"Also inform the general agent of the four islands, integrate all armaments and supplies, and prepare for the expedition... It will be enough for one trip."

Hearing Lu Feng's decisive words, the tiger hunter clan secretary's pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked at the human in front of her in horror.

She seemed to have guessed something, even the hair on the tail behind her stood up.

But Lu Feng ignored his secretary's shocked look and said his ultimate goal in a cold voice as if talking to himself:

"Once the repair of the Brave Sword is completed, it will be time for us to launch the third expedition towards the Siren Defense Line."

"And this will also be the last expedition of our Tianou Group."

"Rather than rot in Liaozhou, it is better to fight to the death and die on the way back to your homeland... If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent."

Just when Lu Feng finished all this and planned to let the secretary carry out his orders, there was another knock on the door of the office.

And an old voice with a mocking tone also sounded from outside the door:

"Hoo ho ho, did you hear me right? What kind of big talk is Director Lu making that will waste people and money?"
