Chapter 247 Xiao Tinghongwen! A death notice?
If it was before.
Being reprimanded by this envoy who was only at the sixth rank would surely enrage Xiao Ting.
He is the dignified lord of Yan City, the God of Thunder.
Who would dare to act arrogantly in front of him?
But now, Xiao Ting is genuinely afraid of the temple.
Moreover... he had long wanted to destroy Black Soil City and seize its resources.
In that way, he would have more than enough resources to break through to the ninth rank.
However, Yilong seemed to have seen through his little scheme long ago, and sneered.
"When we asked you to do things before, you disobeyed the temple's orders and hoarded valuable treasures, which the temple could turn a blind eye to! But this time, all the property after the destruction of Black Earth City belongs to the temple!"
"We're expected to fight to the death, and we don't get any benefits in return? Why should we?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting's face instantly turned red.
Although the temple was domineering in the past, those who worked for the temple could still get some benefits.
This time, not only are they extremely domineering, but they also want them to work for free? What kind of nonsense is that?
Xiao Ting was about to lose his temper, but was stopped by Feng Murong, who was still somewhat sober.
After all... Black Earth City has already been placed on the temple's death list, and must be eradicated completely!
If Xiao Ting doesn't know his own limitations and provokes the two envoys, Yan City might very well face a death sentence.
Yilong and Bayin looked at the two of them and thought to themselves, "Why don't you go ask Xiao Yu?"
He risked his life for you back then, only to be betrayed after you've served your purpose.
Now, you still have the nerve to ask, on what grounds?
He left himself no way out, and now he's not leaving you anything good. Who can you blame?
……
the other side.
In Longcheng, by the time the battlefield was cleaned up, it was already dawn.
However, the entire Dragon City remained very lively.
After the two temple messengers left, there were no more guests in the Dragon Gate Inn.
But the soldiers guarding the outer city did not rest and remained steadfast in their posts.
Inside the city, apart from the young children and the elderly, the women whose husbands or children had gone to the battlefield did not rest, but waited at the city gate for their heroes to return.
When the soldiers returned safely, everyone shouted and celebrated the victory.
"Brother and sister, I'm so glad you're all alright! The welcome meal for you is ready!" As soon as they returned to the city lord's mansion, a familiar, melodious voice rang out, and then Xinglan transformed into a gentle breeze and rushed into Xiao Yu's arms.
The girl searched Xiao Yu's body for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was safe and sound.
Xinglan had been crying and begging to participate in the great battle against Black Soil City.
However, Xiao Yu rejected her outright, citing her weakness.
After all... the people fighting alongside Xiao Yu, including Hong Lian and the three beast-eared girls, were all at the fifth rank.
Each of them was clad in dragon armor and celestial silkworm armor, possessing formidable strength comparable to a sixth-tier cultivator.
As for Chu Ling Shuang, needless to say, she is impervious to swords and spears, with an incredible defense.
In comparison, Xinglan is the weakest, and even on the battlefield, Honglian has to be distracted to protect her.
However, this is quite normal, after all, she is not even fifteen years old yet, and her talent has not fully blossomed.
"I will definitely train hard in the future and break through to the fifth level as soon as possible!" Seeing that Xiao Yu and Hong Lian looked tired from the battle, Xing Lan felt sorry for them and made a silent decision in her heart.
According to Brother Yu, only by breaking through to the fifth rank will she truly have the power to protect herself.
After the great battle with Black Soil City, Dragon City did not rush to continue its journey.
After all... the warriors had been fighting all night and needed a good day to rest.
"Brother, there are still some good things among last night's spoils..."
After the battle last night, the spoils were simply tallied up, including weapons, armor, and most importantly, energy stones. Other items haven't been examined in detail yet.
In the morning, Honglian sent people to check everything one by one and double-check it, and they found quite a few good things.
"The most valuable items are the Black Soil City Lord's weapons. One is a mid-grade sixth-tier divine weapon, worth at least a million energy stones! There are also two fifth-tier divine weapons and hundreds of quasi-divine weapons. Together, they are worth more than two million energy stones!"
"very good!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled and nodded.
Calculate it this way.
In this battle, we earned a total of tens of millions of energy stones!
It can only be said that Black Soil City truly deserves to be the most powerful of the three major forces!
"But brother..."
Honglian thought of something and a troubled look appeared on her face. "That amount of salt is too much."
At this point, her expression became somewhat complicated, and she even seemed to want to laugh.
Previously, Longcheng was extremely short of salt, and the only salt available was dug out of the ground by pangolins.
Because salt is so scarce, only the city lord's mansion can afford to eat salt, and even then, it can't be eaten every day.
As for the other residents, they could only get a little bit of food every three to five days, and their mouths were so bland they were practically numb with hunger.
But now... suddenly there's a huge salt mine, it really is a mountain.
One-third of the inner city of Dragon City is now used to store that salt mine.
Moreover... it was piled up for four or five hundred meters, and then the Ice Fox started moving it.
As for the salt mine in Beast City, it won't be moved to Dragon City.
They simply dragged it behind the Earth Dragon Turtle and slowly carried it all the way to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"Uh, that's a bit too much..." Xiao Yu nodded with amusement.
Everyone else is severely lacking in salt, but Longcheng people complain that they have too much salt.
The main problem is that the earthworms are still not big enough; they need to continue growing.
"If there's too much salt, let everyone pickle more vegetables. Also... once we leave the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Earth Dragon Turtle will be able to evolve again."
Xiao Yu patted Honglian's hand lightly and chuckled, "We'll be in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts in a day or two. We need to prepare more vegetables, water, and other goods from various industries, and trade more energy stones with the City of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"Don't worry, brother! I've already given the orders!"
Honglian immediately assured them and briefly explained the current situation of various industries.
Although the agricultural industry lost millions of dollars worth of goods last time.
However... with the glow-in-the-dark trees around, it only takes a day or two to completely restore them.
Now with crystal mirrors, there's no need to worry about acid rain or strong winds anymore.
"Industries such as weaving, tea, pottery, and papermaking are all developing well!"
"You've all done a great job! Then I should also make some preparations. Beast City not only has plenty of energy stones, but also all sorts of top-tier materials..."
Last night, Xiao Yu learned a lot from Gou Daoren.
Although the City of Ten Thousand Beasts does not have the formalized forging techniques of a master craftsman.
But ordinary blacksmithing techniques are something that even a layman can figure out.
Within the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, there were also many clever orcs who devised simple forging techniques.
However... the best weapons and armor they forged were only Tier 4 quasi-divine weapons.
However, the City of Ten Thousand Beasts occupies the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, where many meteorites have been discovered.
These items are also very valuable; they are used to forge divine weapons, and they are what Xiao Yu has his eye on.
