The Emperor is Above

Chapter 413: Have you been coveting the wealth of the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle since last year?

The northern Xinjiang was still covered with ice and snow in early February.

However, there are fewer and fewer windy and snowy days, and more and more sunny days.

The warm and gentle sunshine makes people feel warm, and they can't help dozing off while walking.

The snow, which was originally nearly ten feet thick, melted away silently, and the snow on many sunny slopes was less than two feet thick.

The people in the villages and communities of Yangwu City, who were almost suffocated by the long winter, took advantage of the sunny days to go out to collect firewood and hunt, and to get some fresh air and stretch their lazy muscles.

As a major river flowing through Yangwu City, Hutiao River meanders for thousands of miles and merges into the Lishui Lake. The terrain on both sides of the river is flat and the soil is fertile, making it easy to irrigate.

Therefore, the two sides of the river are also the line where the villages and vassal territories are most densely distributed. Especially in the southeast, which faces the threat of the Ghost Witch Tribe, the population in the north of the city is more distributed.

There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 villagers and commoners along the river north of the city, accounting for nearly half of the population outside Yangwu City.

Many people from villages and communities were stunned by the huge noise coming from afar as soon as they went out that day. Looking around, they saw an endless convoy roaring towards them, stretching for more than ten miles.

What shocked and terrified them was not just the sheer size of the convoy, nor the 15,000-strong militia, nor the hundreds or thousands of exotic horses pulling the convoys.

Four towering trees, each more than eighty feet tall, took huge steps to guard both sides of the convoy. Every step seemed to make the ground tremble, making the people tremble in their hearts.

There were constant cries of ferocious birds in the sky. There were four powerful and ferocious birds covered in flames, with majestic dragon heads, flaming wings, and intimidating might. Even just one look at them would make one feel terrified.

Fourteen tall Wangmang giants, wearing helmets and armor and looking majestic, stood on a huge sled, which was dragged forward by two giant rhinos.

The giants were dressed in mighty rhinoceros armor, which was evenly coated with grease and glowed brightly. With huge halberds and shields as their weapons, they looked like gods descending from heaven.

In addition, dozens of exotic animal totems led by the blue ox, white horse, gray bear, and black tiger, as well as hundreds of cavalry riding red colts, giant-hoofed wild horses, and water horses, were also galloping past the convoy.

The timid people fled in panic without even waiting for the convoy to get close, while many brave people suppressed their fear and watched this huge migrating team roaring past with trepidation.

The Chinese people who have not received much education can only say when they are shocked: Wow, this is so amazing.

The feelings of the nobles were much more complicated. As vassals, they were more informed and had received commendations from Lord Xing. They also kept communicating privately:

"I've heard that the king's newly appointed senior official, Long Chengyi, is extremely powerful. He made great contributions in the Battle of Solitary Hill and the Battle of the Capital City. I didn't expect that his subordinates would be so powerful!"

"When I first heard that the king appointed a fifteen-year-old boy as a senior official, I thought he was just a flatterer. Now that I see the strength of his subordinates, I realize that we underestimated the young heroes of the world."

"I think it's a good thing that Doctor Yishang of Longcheng has recovered the land of Longcheng. At least from now on, we don't have to worry about any threats from the north."

In the speeding convoy, Qing Yi, who was on a sled, clearly heard the fleeting discussions. Not only did he not get angry, but he also showed a satisfied smile.

"The Lord's strategy of attacking the heart is really powerful. He turned this migration into a martial arts performance!"

Nan Guoshi, who was standing beside Qing Yi, looked at the stunned people, their faces complicated and enthusiastic, and could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"We have come all the way from Yangwu City. The people and nobles of the villages on both sides of the Hutiao River have already established our strong image in their hearts. Next, the master only needs to concentrate on developing the land in Longcheng and wait and see if the northern border will be overthrown. When the time comes, the master will lead tens of thousands of tiger and wolf troops to the south.

All you need to do is raise your arm and all the people will come to welcome you. For the sake of their own lives and the lives of their families, they will obey your command."

"We were still not well prepared this time. It was a bit hasty!"

Qing Yi smiled, but said with a hint of regret, "If we stay a few more days and let Kui Wendou and the others assemble the sixteen giant beast puppets, it will shock these people even more.

After arriving at the Dragon City, let Yang Hu and Zhu Zhiwu cooperate with puppet masters such as Kui Wendou to create more powerful war puppets. "

San Yisheng frowned slightly and said, "Now the master has 65 students from the Imperial Academy and 24 puppet masters under his command, as well as 15 pharmacists under Jiang Ji and 20 pharmacists from the Jiliu tribe.

The amount of crystals and refining materials they consume in their daily practice, research, and production is already astonishing, and the storage capacity of these materials can only be used for three months.

I know that most of the crystals and refining materials that the master obtained before were donated by the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle last year, and a small part was donated by the old patriarch of the Jiliu tribe a few days ago.

With this amount of storage, daily consumption can only support three months. If we develop giant beast puppets after arriving in Dragon City, it will consume a huge amount of energy. I am afraid it will be difficult to last for a month."

"Well, the development of war puppets and armored vehicles does consume a lot of crystals and many refining materials!"

Qing Yi nodded in approval of San Yisheng's suggestion, lowered his head and thought for a moment, a faint smile gradually appeared in the corners of his eyes.
“The number of crystal stones and refining materials is limited. Saving them alone will not help. The most important thing is to open up new sources and obtain more resources.

When the Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures brought many crystals of different qualities, I concluded that they must know of a crystal mine in the mountains and forests.

Now the four elders of the Dragon Eagle clan have all been promoted to the second-grade vicious birds. When the land of Dragon City is stabilized, I will take the four elders to their nest.

We can bring the remaining dozens of Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures to Dragon City, and at the same time look for the crystal mine, and maybe we can get something else."

My Lord, have you been coveting the wealth of the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle since last year?

San Yisheng and Nan Guoshi looked at each other in amazement at the lord's behavior of kidnapping the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle and draining the family's wealth.

However, they still nodded in agreement and said, "Now the master has more than twenty exotic beast totems under his command. If we can recruit dozens more Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures, it will more or less balance the situation."

"It's not just the exotic beast totems that need to be balanced."

Gongsun Wu said solemnly, "I think it would be best for the Lord to continue recruiting large numbers of people from the country to make the number of people from the country twice the number of people from the wild.

Only in this way can we assimilate these 22,000 people as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it will take too much time. I am afraid we don’t have that much time.”

"Brother Gongsun, there are some things you can do, but you can't say them!"

Qing Yi chuckled and said, "Why do you think I asked Xizi and Huaimu to stay in the camp outside Yangwu City?"
