Chapter 392: Territory Strength Inventory, Shiliang Clan’s Envoy

Three months later, the warlords' sphere of influence was basically divided up.

In Pojun City and the Royal Mansion, Shen Guanye's civilian staff were listing data for Shen Guanye, taking stock of the current strength and wealth of the territory.

"Now our Xia Nan clan has occupied five and a half provinces, with a population of 13 million. There are four 12th-level nests, fifteen 11th-level nests, twenty-four 10th-level nests, and th-level nests. Thirty-seven..."

Shen Guanye nodded secretly.

In fact, there was a huge loss in this battle, and that was the failure to capture King Yan Zhao’s nests. These were several 13th-level nests, numerous 10th-level, 11th-level, 12th-level, and even hundreds of mid- to low-level nests. Woolen cloth!

But there was no way. Under the circumstances, it was already good enough that he could kill King Yan Zhao. It was impossible to capture him alive.

Under this premise, the first priority must be to ensure that the opponent is killed. How can we take into account more? Therefore, there is no way to deal with the loss.

However, the nest in the hands of King Yan Zhao cannot be taken away, but the nest in the hands of Li Zhibao can be taken. In addition to Shen Guanye's original 13th-level nest, there is a Dragon Xiang Knight's nest and two Feilong King's nests. .

As for this fourth level 13 nest, it did not come from the remaining warlords who were captured alive.

The remaining warlords do have a 13th-level lair on hand, which is a nine-tailed fox lair. However, since he agreed to hand over the remaining territory to Wuqu clan and other warlords to divide it up, Shen Guanye will not break his promise.

In the remaining two provinces, Shen Guanye had no access to all the loot, including the lair, so it was naturally impossible to obtain the 13th-level lair from them.

The last nine-tailed fox lair was taken away by the Wuqu Clan.

The fourth nest he got was found in the wild. It was a wild dragon whale nest located in Southeast Asia. For this reason, he had another fight with the Fuso people.

But because his people discovered the nest first and took advantage of it, the Fuso people noticed it when he attacked the nest and had no time to dispatch enough experts to snatch it, so they failed to win against him in the end.

The men reported a series of numbers in one breath.

After annexing the Broken Warlord and half of the Chongling Lord, Shen Guanye's men have reached the standards of a great warlord, both in terms of the number of nests and the number of heroic spirits.

Yes, failing to capture the nest of King Yan Zhao's men was indeed a big loss.

But didn't he get the lair of Pei Zu's men before? In addition, not all the warlords' nests were concentrated in the hands of King Yan Zhao, and the remaining Apocalypse Lords were all captured alive.

Even if what these Lords of the Apocalypse are contracting are just "leftovers" from destroying the warlord's lair, if they add up, the amount will be quite large.

Then there is the Chongling Clan's lair, and he took the bulk of it.

Coupled with the hundreds of deity lairs in the country that are constantly "spewing out" heroic spirits, Shen Guanye has accumulated a large number of heroic spirits over the past few years.

Taken together, the number of nests and heroic spirits is really not that small.

"The total number of heroic spirits is 15, including three level heroic spirits..."

The subordinate continued to talk about the statistics. For the convenience of statistics, he did not list the awakened heroic spirits separately, but also included them in the total data. After all, apart from being stronger than ordinary heroic spirits, there is no other difference between the awakened heroic spirits.

When counting statistics, just automatically adjust the level to one level.

Therefore, there are only three level 15 heroic spirits, including Red Soul.

"Twenty-three 14th-level heroic spirits, 13 12th-level heroic spirits, 14 th-level heroic spirits... In addition, the number of Apocalypse reached , among which the th-level national-level— —”

The subordinates continued to report, and when they mentioned the 14th-level national-level powerhouse, they paused and glanced at Shen Guanye.

Because he was not sure whether he should regard Shen Guanye as a strong person at the national level. In terms of strength, Shen Guanye was far superior to ordinary strong people at the national level, but in terms of true level, he was only level 12.

But then again, Shen Guanye is his immediate boss's immediate boss, so he must support...

Shen Guanye saw the hesitation of his statistician and immediately guessed the reason for his hesitation, so he smiled and said: "Just list me as a 12th-level Apocalypse."

"Yes."

"There are now a total of 14 points and three Apocalypse in the territory, including a 13th-level country-level powerhouse, seven 12th-level powerhouses, and twenty-one th-level powerhouses..."

Of the seven 13th-level powerhouses, two of them are naturally Mr. Wu Mian and another 13th-level powerhouse from the National Salvation Association, and the last two are none other than Wu Feng and Zeng Zhenghua. The original "Twelve Dragon Generals".

The entire ruling class of the broken warlords, except for King Yan Zhao, actually had a lot of dead people, including Pei Zhang, and their men had a lot of innocent blood.

There is no way, in a group, what is the leader like, the people below follow the example, and the king of Chu has a slim waist, what will the overall atmosphere be like.

King Yan Zhao is self-willed, preys on the common people, and cares about human life. Naturally, his subordinates will not be much better.

It’s not that there are people who can live alone and emerge from the mud unstained, but the proportion is very rare, and these people do not include Pei Wei, Wu Feng, Zeng Zhenghua and others.

Among them, Wu Feng's personal ethics can be considered the best, but he also committed a lot of sins.

But is it possible to kill everyone?

It's impossible. For those high-ranking officials who are just middle- and low-level Apocalypse or simply ordinary people, Shen Guanye can ransack their homes and shoot them, but masters like Wu Feng and Zeng Zhenghua are not easy to train, so it would be too wasteful to kill them directly.

In fact, if King Yan Zhao had not formed a mortal enemy with him and was the leader of a clan, Shen Guanye would not have killed him. After all, he was a powerful man at the state-level, and a top state-controller. Wouldn't it be nice for a super powerful person to be retained to perform meritorious deeds?

Therefore, except for a few of the masters who defeated the warlords and Chongling clan, Shen Guanye spared his life.

Of course, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.

Although you can't die, it's impossible to maintain your original status and treatment. If you still want to occupy a high position, just work hard to climb up!

In short, due to the joining of the National Salvation Association and the annexation of Po Warlord and Chongling Clan, the Xia Nan Clan has a record-breaking seven 13th-level masters.

This has far exceeded the number of level 13 masters of any major warlord in the country.

However, compared to the number of 13th-level masters, what is truly dazzling is the number of town-level beings.

Apart from the Xia Nan Clan, which other force in the country has six major town-level presences? Taken together, they can barely compete with a heavenly being.

For the same reason, the number of 12th-level powerhouses in the Xia Nan Clan reached twenty-one historically.

In addition to including him, the National Salvation Association also contributed several people, and the Po Warlords and Chongling Clan also contributed several people, including "Broken Mountain Fist" Jin Xiao.

Also, many of the masters who came to support previously chose to join the Xia Nan clan.

The 13th-level master did not choose to join. After the war pressure of the Xia Nan clan was relieved, he returned to the country and joined the other two battlefields. Shen Guanye even rewarded him well before leaving.

However, many masters at level 12 and below choose to join the Xia Nan Clan, which is why level 12 masters can reach twenty-one.

Then the statistician reported a series of figures one after another, including finance, land, minerals, etc., allowing Shen Guanye to have a rough idea of ​​the current size of the territory.

Of course, these are approximate data, calculated from original data and have not been measured. After all, it is not realistic to do such a huge statistical work while receiving the land, isn't it?

……

Outside Pojun City, a team was coming from the sky and approaching quickly.

In the middle of the team is a bronze roc that reflects the metallic luster of bronze in the sun. There are several people sitting on the bronze roc. There is a coffee table in front of them. There is a small stove on the coffee table, and there is a small stove on the fire. In addition to tea, there are also fruits and melons on display. There are crane spirits surrounding the bronze roc. The crane spirit close to the bronze roc has soldiers in military uniforms on its back, while the rest of the crane spirits have no one on their backs.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Broken Warlord, to avoid being rude, several people on the back of the Bronze Peng began to pack up the coffee table, fruit plate and stove. Only one of them did not move, watching the others clean up while chatting and laughing with them.

Soon, a crane spirit flew up in Pojun City and quickly came to the front of the team.

"Excuse me, how many of you are from Shiliang Clan?"

The leader said politely.

This team from the Shiliang Clan came all the way without much cover. Naturally, the people from the Xia Nan Clan had noticed it and informed them all the way early in the morning.

Now these people are riding over on crane spirits, not so much to interrogate them, but to welcome them.

"Exactly."

Seeing the people from the Xia Nan Clan, the Shiliang Clan's envoys had already stood up without asking for help. They stood up and patted the food residue on their trouser legs before responding.

"Welcome, let's land first."

"As it should be."

Soon the group of people landed on the ground. The crane spirits transformed into human forms and formed a team to defend the envoys. The bronze roc also transformed into a guerrilla general covered in bronze feather armor, following the envoys. beside.

The appearance of the crane spirit and the bronze roc were so eye-catching and majestic that they naturally attracted attention. As they walked past, the people's eyes and comments never stopped.

However, neither the envoys nor the welcoming group from Xia Nan Clan paid attention to these gazes, and looked as normal, chatting and laughing happily. The people of the Shiliang Clan were surprised that the Xia Nan Clan could restore order so quickly after taking down the broken warlords. Their words were quite flattering, and the people of the Xia Nan Clan kept being humble.

In this friendly atmosphere of polite compliments to each other, everyone walked to the market entrance. At this moment, the conversation and laughter stopped abruptly. The envoy suddenly stopped, closed his mouth, and looked in a certain direction. The smile on his face also faded and became a little serious.

The greeter followed his gaze and reacted.

"This is Li Zhibao. Because of his unpardonable crime, he was sentenced to death by hanging."

Li Zhibao's body was hanging on the lamppost in the center of Caishikou. He died with his eyes open and no one came to collect it.

The people in the mission were a little shocked.

A generation of warlords came to an end, and they were hanged at Caishikou in such an undignified way. They were scolded by the people every day and were played with stones by imps. This scene was really too impactful.

"Yes, Li Zhibao has a cruel temperament, and he deserves it."

The sergeant of Shiliang Clan put away the complicated emotions on his face and replied.

The group continued to move forward.

Soon we arrived at Shen Guanye's office.

Shen Guanye did not show off his identity and showed off to the other party. After taking some time, he quickly received the envoys.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the office, the Shiliang Clan's envoy bowed slightly to Shen Guanye and saluted, and then his appearance changed rapidly, and he quickly transformed into another person.

Shen Guanye couldn't hide his surprise.

"Marshal Li, why did you come here in person?"

He had known for a long time that the visitor had changed his appearance. His safety had always been the top priority of the Xia Nan Clan. If anyone could come to him just by changing his appearance, he would have been unaware of the enemy's attack. How many times have you been assassinated by a powerful person at the national level?

In fact, any stranger who wanted to approach him had to undergo three layers of inspection, both overt and covert, to ensure that there was no threat before they could approach him.

Therefore, he had known for a long time that the person who came was disguised, and he only let the other person get close to him because he was sure that the other person was not a threat.

What he didn't expect was that the man in disguise turned out to be the commander-in-chief of the Shiliang Clan.

They actually came over in person.

Not only did he come in person, but in order to deceive others, he also deliberately changed his appearance and assumed the identity of the Shiliang Clan's envoy.

"Commander Shen, please forgive me for coming uninvited."

"If so, Marshal Li, please take a seat."

In terms of etiquette, Shen Guanye has always been good. No matter whether he is low or high, his behavior towards others has not changed much. Even though he has become Tian Xia's third person, he has not become arrogant.

He immediately put on a sincere smile, asked Marshal Li to sit down quickly, and asked his secretary to serve tea quickly.

"The main purpose of my visit this time is one." After the greetings, Marshal Li quickly entered the topic. At this moment, his mind couldn't help but flash through the scene just now, Li Zhibao's corpse floating at the entrance of the vegetable market, " I just want to join the Xia Nan Clan, I am willing to work hard for Marshal Shen, and I am willing to contribute to the unification of Tianxia."

Shen Guanye was slightly startled. He never expected that the other party was here to take action.

Previously, he was still wondering why he had already conquered such a large territory and his rise was so obvious, but there were no warlords to rely on him - not only the medium-sized warlords, but also the small warlords who only occupied one or two cities. .

It's really strange.

With his current strength, reputation and momentum, many forces should choose to join him, not to mention "the Duke of Zhou vomits his support and the world returns to his heart".

He didn't expect that no one would come if he didn't come, so he was given a big one.

The Shiliang Clan is not weak. It already occupied Shiliang Province, and later swallowed up a lot of land from the warlords who were attached to King Yanzhao. It can be said that its strength is stronger than the Wangchuan Clan.

Even the most powerful warlord in the country, ranking in the middle and upper reaches!

Such a warlord chose to surrender to him so simply. Not only did the small part of the territory he had previously spit out be swallowed back, but he also gained an extra province's territory.

But Shen Guanye was not overjoyed by this. Instead, he calmly said: "Li Marshal, are you serious? My side is different from that of King Yan Zhao, and it is also different from the alliances like Tai'a Clan and Wuqu Clan. Join us. After this, it will be impossible for you to remain an independent warlord."

"Not only will a lot of autonomy be lost, but the strength of the subordinates will also be reduced a lot. Are you sure you have thought it through clearly? If not, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said."

Shen Guanye chose to get straight to the point and tell the truth.

Hearing this, Marshal Li had an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Marshal Shen, I'm serious."
