"No! This isn't a problem with the command aspect!"

Li Chenzhou shook his head, thought for a moment, and said:

"Forget it, it's hard to explain. Let me just give you a taste!"

With that, Li Chenzhou took Hu Tao to find Dugu Tianfeng, and then the three of them went to the underground plaza together.

"See this place? This location is perfect for placing a war fortress!"

Li Chenzhou pointed to the underground plaza and said:

"So this is one option. The advantage is that the war fortress won't be discovered by the Devourers or Controllers when it appears. This will give your people time to familiarize themselves with it!

"What you need to know is that the war fortress requires many people to operate it. The more people who operate it, the more skilled they are, and the stronger the war fortress will be.

"Therefore, placing the war fortress here is a more conservative choice. You'll have a relatively safe familiarization period. Once you're completely familiar with the war fortress, no one in this world will be able to capture it! Unless there's an inside agent!"

"..."

Li Chenzhou's last words about an inside agent made Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng's faces darken, and they couldn't refute it.

"Uh... if you put it that way, there should be another option?"

Hu Tao quickly changed the subject.

"Yes! Place it above!"

Li Chenzhou nodded, then operated the terminal next to him, switching the screen to the mountains above the base:

"Look here! This valley is right above our base, coincidentally, above this underground plaza!"

Li Chenzhou pointed to the valley on the terminal and said:

"Our other option is to place the war fortress here, where it can fit perfectly in the valley. With a little arrangement, it can be hidden.

"Moreover, because it's on the ground, the war fortress can take off directly when needed. Unlike placing it here, we'd have to open a huge entrance above the plaza to launch it.

"In addition, the war fortress on the ground can also protect Base No. 3. We can even close and seal all the other entrances of Base No. 3, leaving only the ones near the war fortress, as well as the entrances directly connected to it.

"In this way, Base No. 3 would be very safe. At least until the fortress is captured, the base can't be breached!

"The disadvantage is that since it's on the ground, no matter how well it's concealed, it may be discovered. Especially when you start trading evolution potions and others discover the existence of this war fortress, some of them may pass information to the Controllers or Devourers!

"If that happens, we won't have much time to adapt to and control the fortress. It all depends on how quickly the Devourers and Controllers come. If they attack before we've mastered the war fortress, we may not be able to unleash its full power, leading to a great waste!"

After speaking, Li Chenzhou looked at the two of them:

"Now, discuss it and see whether to place the war fortress above or directly in the underground base! Oh, right, if you put it in the underground base, as I said just now, you must open a huge exit above the underground plaza, otherwise, the war fortress's flying ability can't be used! Otherwise, it will directly destroy Base No. 3!"

After listening to Li Chenzhou's words, Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

This choice was indeed difficult. Logically speaking, placing it above ground was the best choice, because the war fortress itself had powerful firepower and defense capabilities, and didn't need the underground base for protection at all.

If it was placed in the underground base, it would seem a bit out of place. Moreover, before opening the exit above the plaza, the war fortress's mobility would be restricted, because it wouldn't have any room to move in the underground base!

This would be completely equivalent to sacrificing most of the war fortress's capabilities in exchange for early safety! No matter how you look at it, it wasn't worth it!

According to what Li Chenzhou said, they only needed to train the soldiers to familiarize them with the operation of the war fortress, so that the war fortress could exert its full functions, and they could almost walk sideways in this world.

In particular, operating the fortress was different from combat. The soldiers' families could also handle it. After all, growing vegetables and raising pigs didn't require so many people, and most of the positions for operating the fortress didn't require any strength!

"Put it outside!"

Dugu Tianfeng was the first to speak:

"If we have a war fortress and we still have to hide in the underground base, what's the point of having this war fortress?"

"Okay! Then put it above!"

Hu Tao nodded immediately without hesitation.

Dugu Tianfeng was right. If they wanted to become stronger, they had to eliminate the Devourers or drive them away, so that they could return to the surface and live without hiding underground like mice.

If they had such a powerful war fortress, and they still had to hide in the underground base, relying on the underground base's defenses to protect the fortress, then what was the point of having this fortress?

"In that case, then here, here, here, and here..."

Li Chenzhou nodded, then switched back to the defense map of the underground base, and pointed to many entrances on the periphery:

"Have people completely seal off all these entrances and abandon them from now on! Then, have everyone gather here, and when you get my message later, go out from this exit! I will put down the war fortress and connect it to this exit!"

The exit Li Chenzhou pointed to was the exit in the underground plaza. The other side of this exit was also in the valley, and this valley was also a relatively important planting area of Base No. 3.

"Okay!"

Hu Tao nodded. He and Dugu Tianfeng had no objection to sealing off the other entrances. Originally, they didn't value this underground base very much, and didn't even plan to take it over. They just treated the base as Li Chenzhou's.

Their goals were all on the war fortress. Now that Li Chenzhou was about to take out a war fortress, they certainly didn't care about Base No. 3 at all.

"Quick! Immediately seal off those entrances, completely seal them off, and never open them again!"

Hu Tao immediately issued the order, while Li Chenzhou left the base alone at this time!

He had to exchange for the war fortress, so naturally he couldn't do it in front of these guys. He had said before that the war fortress was a product of his world, so if he wanted to get the war fortress, he naturally had to "go back" once.

Fortunately, the subsequent evolution potions and so on could be placed directly in the fortress, otherwise, every time Li Chenzhou took out an evolution potion, he would have to pretend to go back to his world once, and that would be exhausting him to death...
