Chapter 451: Super intelligence
Chapter 451: Super intelligence
A large change occurred with the Southern Summer Country.
The Central State City population had increased by a third since Chu Tian left and it was twice as lively as before.
This was not just because Central State City had become the Southern Summer Country's Imperial City, but also because it was where Miracle Commerce's place of origin. Miracle Commerce had a large research laboratory and a large production sector, which helped Central State City develop.
Especially after Miracle Commerce linked their Space Warehouse. Miracle Commerce would frequently sell various materials from the Forest of Chaos in the Southern Summer Country, largely raising the Southern Summer Country's power. Right now, people like the Divine Wind Marquis and the Golden Arrow Marquis had all broken through their long time bottlenecks and reached the first True Spirit Layer.
The Southern State Berserker Troops were trained from the southern barbarian berserkers and a part of them was being hired by the Southern Summer Country as official troops. With the large amount of weapons also bought from the Miracle Commerce Source Energy Weapon Factory and the natural defenses of the Four States Lake, the War Hounds Kingdom could not gain any advantages. Now that the Southern Summer Country had basically recovered, they were not weaker compared to before.
The Southern Summer Country had also quickly created a reputation for themselves.
Now there were caravans coming frequently from the surrounding countries to buy Miracle Commerce's products. Therefore, even if the Southern Summer Citizens still used the Southern Summer gold coins, they were already to use source stones for large business deals. This was a sign of a country's transformation.
The Southern Summer Country would soon become the Great Summer Country!
When Clark walked in the Central State City streets, he felt like he was in a different world. There were many airships flying across the sky and there were many large buildings with many large screens, all displaying all kinds of advertisements, as well as many loudspeakers constantly sounding out.
There were less beast carriages on the streets.
Mainly because of Miracle Commerce changing the culture, Central State had become a place with very strong innovation. Preliminary Source Energy Vehicles that ran on Source Energy Batteries had already appeared and many people were already using this new convenient method of transport, moving back and forth through the city streets like beetles.
This was truly too shocking.
Just a trivial small kingdom like the Southern Summer Country could develop to such a level?
The liveliness and richness of the human city far surpassed Clark's imagination, he didn't dare believe that this was a small kingdom. It wasn't unreasonable that the humans could quickly rise in the recent hundred years, perhaps in another few thousand years, the elves and spirit beasts will be suppressed by the humans.
There was already a large change with the Central State laboratory.
When Chu Tian left Central State, he took parts of the laboratory and moved it to Southern State. The Central State laboratory was focused on working on the Source Energy Computers and after many expansions, they were twice as big as before. The research personnel working on the Source Energy Computers had reached over two thousand people.
Chu Tian had provided the key technology and ideas. The over two thousand people had experimented over one hundred and thirty five thousand times before finally making something that surpassed the current era.
The members of the Central State laboratory all knew Chu Tian was coming, so they all came out to greet him.
Chu Tian saw many familiar people like the Lin siblings. The two of them had established the Heaven's Alliance and now they joined Miracle Commerce as they wished, becoming official researchers of the Yun Sect. They were young and talented, making others jealous. They were now walking on the path of their dreams!
"Greetings to the chairman and vice chairman!"
These people excitedly bowed down, almost kneeling down to Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu.
Many of these people were scholars from all around and some of them hadn't seen Chu Tian before. They only understood Chu Tian through the images they've seen and the facts they've heard. Chu Tian was now a god worshipped in the Southern summer Country, for a legendary character to appear in front of them, how could they not be excited?
Chu Tian was very shocked, "When did we get all these people?"
"That is natural." Gu Qianqiu had already broken through to the True Spirit Realm. He looked much younger than before and perhaps he was more lively from having a fulfilling life, "There isn't just Southern Summer scholars here, there are many people that have travelled thousands of miles, coming from other countries to learn in the Southern Summer Country, becoming members of the Yun Sect. There are already four great scholars among them!"
Chu Tian nodded, "Not bad, not bad, the Yun Sect is growing stronger."
The person happiest about the Yun Sect growing stronger was of course that old man Yun Tianhe. The Yun Sect's origin came from Central State's Yun Family. The Yun Family was just a small country's family, but now they became world famous in this manner. Being able to move more of their family into the Yun Sect was truly a breakthrough move.
The Yun Sect's current strength was not that strong right now.
The gnomes that Chu Tian had an alliance with, with their academic standard, there were at least several hundred great scholars. However, their knowledge was isolated by their regional isolation, meaning the human scholars had different research methods from the gnomes. The two of them needed to have an exchange to fuse the two together.
Not to mention the Yun Sect was founded by Chu Tian.
Gu Qianqiu and Yun Tianhe had followed Chu Tian for an entire year now, they had Miracle Commerce's large amount of core techniques in their hands. This was the gap no scholars in the world could catch up with, so one couldn't judge one's strength by their knowledge.
Chu Tian's group began their visit of the Central State research laboratory.
Although the part of the Central State Yun Sect research laboratory was moved to Southern State, this was still Miracle Commerce's earliest research laboratory, so this was where most of Miracle Commerce's technology was gathered. They had reserves of almost every Miracle Commerce product and piece of technology.
"I suggest that elder Clark should gather a group of scholars once we head back and have the gnomes scholars come to Central State to study for a bit, what do you think?"
"Just what we wish for, just what we wish for!"
Clark was already deeply shocked by Miracle Commerce.
Clark only now understood Chu Tian's background and he also felt a large opportunity and prospect. Most of the gnomes were scholars, Miracle City had richer resources and the research laboratory in Miracle City was larger, and Chu Tian had taken Miracle City as Miracle Commerce's headquarters, so the future Yun Sect would be located in Miracle City.
The gnomes will obtain a large opportunity!
If the clan could participate in the Yun Sect, the gnomes would surely have an important role in the Yun Sect, which was enough for the gnomes to be recorded in history. They would be the representatives of the continent's scholar in the future, pioneering all kinds of inventions, using another method to become an important large clan!
Yun Tianhe opened a large laboratory door.
There were rows of black boxes in front of them. When they pulled out a black box, each box had a source energy array stone in it. These boxes came together in sixes and formed a hexagon. When they were linked together, they formed a large scale complex source energy matrix.
These source energy matrixes came in groups of tens and each matrix had over a hundred arrays, coming to a total of over three hundred thousand runes. It required ten energy columns working together to power all of it.
"These are the main parts, they are a preliminary Source Energy Computing Matrix!" Yun Tianhe said in a very proud voice, "The whole set includes over three hundred source energy array processing stations and there are eight different information stores. It has a computing speed of five hundred million operations each second, so it can process a large amount of information."
Five hundred million operations per second?
Clark revealed a stunned expression.
With such a strong computing power, if they used this in source energy array deductions or experiments, how much of a boost would that be?
"Five hundred million?" Chu Tian shook his head, "It's slow!"
This is still slow?
Everyone didn't know what to say.
"Not to mention the fact that it's too big." Chu Tian looked at the six large black boxes and shook his head, "We need to increase the strength of the source energy matrices while also reducing their size, otherwise a Source Energy Computer that took up an entire room would be too troublesome. It can't be used in normal tasks and it can't be sold to citizens."
Yun Tianhe and Gu Qianqiu wiped their sweat.
The chairman's requests could scare a person to death!
This Source Energy Computer had taken them over a year to make, could it be he wants to sell these things to the world? This was simply a joke!
Chu Tian said, "We're going to make an automatic rune engraver that will work with an intelligent computer. Array masters won't need to engrave each rune one by one. That way, the production of talismans and pills will become automatic and we can increase our efficiency."
The automatic rune engravers would need source stones to run.
This was because the source energy in the source stones was the closest to what humans had, so it could be used for source energy arrays. The energy inside the Source Energy Batteries were an industrial energy, so it could be used to power source energy arrays, but it couldn't be used to make them. The cost of the automatic engraver was quite big, but it would free up a large amount of labour, so it would still raise efficiency.
Gu Qianqiu said, "This source energy matrices still lack a core."
"There's no need for you to mention it, I've already brought it." Chu Tian waved his hand and took out the artificial intelligence, Zero, "Zero, begin the combination."
Zero's formless body floated into the center of the large source energy matrix where there was a crystal placed there. Zero directly entered the crystal and in an instant, invisible energy passed through it as the entire source energy matrix came to life.
Chu Tian directly asked, "Zero, how do you feel?"
Zero's voice came from the matrix, "The entire fuction of the matrix is combined with me!"
"Zero, are you really that powerful? You aren't just bragging, right!" Meng Yingying had a bit of disbelief, so she asked a series of questions, "Then let me test you. 2525413 multiplied by 4342342 divided by 21343 multiplied by 43543 plus 654245 and multiplied again by 143432…..What's the final number?"
Zero replied without any hesitation.
Meng Yingying spent several minutes to calculate it and found that it was exactly right, even the decimals were correct to several hundred positions. She instantly revealed a look of awe!
Chu Tian gave Yingying a teasing smile, "You want to stump Zero with this little problem?"
Meng Qingwu never thought the combination of the artificial intelligence and the source energy matrix would have such a shocking effect, "Let's move this Source Energy Computer to Miracle City. We can use it for the bookkeeping, the Miracle Banking accounts, the information on the citizen, and even to calculate the city's development. I think it will be useful for everything."
"How could it only be this much?" Chu Tian said with a faint smile, "The Source Energy Matrix Computer can calculate at a speed that humans cannot compare to. We can use it to make the spiritual domain more stable, to create new source energy arrays, to make the Source Energy Weapons more terrifying, and make our production more refined. After its computation strength is increased by hundreds of times in the future, we can use it to calculate various changes. In short, you cannot even imagine all of its uses."
That's right!
Zero was the continent's first super Source Energy Computer!
Although its creativity couldn't compare to humans, in terms of logic and computation, it was not something mortals could compare to. Just purely this part of it had already reached the Spiritual God level.
Chu Tian ordered, "The young miss will send Zero to Miracle City. You are the only one other than me with the highest clearance with Zero. Zero will be in charge of managing Miracle City from now on, I believe that with such a thing present, there will be a large change in Miracle City's development speed."
Meng Qingwu asked, "When can you make the second one?"
Gu Qianqiu and Yun Tianhe looked at each other, "I'm afraid it'll take another month."
"That long? No!" Chu Tian shook his head and said, "Recruit more people, I'll also send the gnomes over to help you. First make the rune engraving machine, we don't have time to make them one by one, so this thing needs to be able to mass produce arrays. You also need to make them smaller and increase the computing speed!"
"Yes!"
The birth of intelligent computers.
This was the true start of Chu Tian!
Chapter 452: Casually destroying
Chapter 452: Casually destroying
A super Source Energy Matrix Computer, a human made intelligent spirit body.
These were two completely different things. If they followed the normal flow of history, these two things would appear around four-five hundred years from now. First would be the Source Energy Computer and then the artificial intelligence.
Therefore, the earliest Source Energy Computers in history were made by humans and used mainly for calculations and creating stats. After all, the humans did not have a method of integrating it with a matrix and the matrix did not have any intelligence. When the artificial intelligence appeared, the situation changed.
Gu Qianqiu said with an emotional voice, "This thing will inevitably go down in history, the chairman should give it a new name!"
Chu Tian also thought computer didn't sound good, so he said to the people beside him, "I'm not good at names, you guys should decide it."
"I have it!" Meng Yingying scratched her head before blurting out, "Its brain is that smart, why don't we just call it Smart Brain? What do you think?"
Meng Qingwu gave a satisfied nod, "I think it's pretty good."
Chu Tian made his decision without even considering it, "Alright, it'll be called Smart Brain."
Smart Brain, this was a supercomputer with learning capabilities and a super powerful computing power, later it would be embedded into various different domains. This was a milestone in the history of the continent and a developmental step for Miracle Commerce.
Meng Qingwu was already a bit impatient, "First send this Smart Brain to Miracle City. I want to understand how many uses the Smart Brain has."
Chu Tian waved his hand at her, "What is the young miss in a rush for? The Smart Brain won't fly away if it's left here. Now that there is a transport channel between Miracle City and Central State, we can go instantly between the two. It's much more convenient to go back and forth, so there is no need to rush."
That's right!
It really is more convenient with the Transport Tower!
"Speaking of the Transport Tower, it uses quite a bit of energy each time we use it, so we should limit the amount of people that can use it each day. Also, while the Transport Tower makes things more convenient, it increases our danger and instability. For example, someone could use the Transport Tower to harm Miracle city." Meng Qingwu asked, "Is there is a way to limit this from happening?"
When the Transport Towers were built around the world.
It will be impossible for Miracle Commerce to tightly guard each Transport Tower, so this situation was a possible danger that would happen eventually.
"The Transport Towers will be connected to Smart Brain in the future, so we can control when it opens and see what is happening, meaning there's no need to worry." Chu Tian paused for a second after saying this, "As for right now, we can only raise the threshold and limit the use of the Transport Towers!"
Meng Qingwu nodded.
The two of them drafted a «Miracle Commerce Transport Tower rules and guidelines»!
These rules clearly wrote: Before the Transport Tower can be used, one must first fill out a "Transport Tower Use Permit" and a "Transport Tower Permit" for the target location. The first was to allow the use of the Transport Tower and the second was to open the Transport Tower at the target location.
Other than high level members of Miracle Commerce with special jurisdiction, each use of the Transport Tower must require an application to be submitted a day in advanced. The time and place must be clearly marked and twenty source stones must be paid after the approval, for the transport service to be provided.
After going round and round.
They had to spend twenty low grade source stones in the end!
If these twenty low grade source stones were exchanged for Southern Summer gold coins, it would be twenty million gold coins!
This wealth was hard to imagine for normal people, but it was a good threshold to have. There will be no overuse of the Transport Tower and it would prevent the occurrence of danger.
Meng Qingwu nodded in satisfaction. This was much safer.
The Transport Tower was not just safer, it also created a foundation for a business!
That night, the Miracle Commerce higher ups were gathered in the Southern Summer royal palace. The Southern Summer King was holding a large banquet to celebrate Miracle Commerce's glory and to thank Miracle Commerce of their support and care for the Southern Summer Country.
Miracle Commerce's smooth development cannot be separated from the Divine Wind Marquis, Yun Tianhe, and the Southern Summer King, Dongfang Gan. The Southern Summer Country getting through several crises was also thanks to Miracle Commerce's help. Especially after the Imperial Region was destroyed, the Southern Summer Country had to move their capital to Central State.
Chu Tian led his team away from Central State, but they kept sending back resources and selling the Southern Summer Country weapons, allowing the almost dead Southern Summer Country to quickly recover!
The entire Southern Summer Country was filled with gratitude for Chu Tian!
Although Miracle Commerce would slowly leave the kingdom, Miracle Commerce's influence would never disappear. Miracle Commerce left large amounts of factories and laboratories in the Southern Summer Country which would remain in operations. Not only did it create many jobs for the Southern Summer Country, it would also make the Southern Summer Country more lively!
Meng Yingying, Nangong Yun, and Vivian were very happy. The three girls were already red faced from emptying their cups.
"Drink another cup!"
"We'll go to the theater after we finish eating."
"Alright, I heard there are new works that came out recently!"
Nangong and Yingying were very emotional towards Central State. After all, they had grown up here, having over ten years of memories!
Meng Yingying's cheeks were completely red, "It wasn't hard to come back, I thought I wouldn't have a chance in this life. Who would have thought that after these Transport Towers were made, we could come back to play whenever we want, this is truly great!"
"That's right!" Nangong Yun began to laugh, "Our boss truly has skills!"
Vivian also chirped along, "Distance isn't a problem from now on. We can come whenever we want, we can go window shopping, go eat a meal, or run to the theater to watch a movie, this kind of life is truly beautiful! Big brother Chu Tian is too great."
Delores had also been called over from Miracle City, this was her first time in a human place. She was currently looking at everything with curiosity, "This is the place the vice City Lord is from? It seems like the vice City Lord's status isn't low in this country."
Meng Qingwu nodded with a faint smile. She did not like drinking, so she always stopped after a few sips, keeping a sober mind for herself. She shook her head with a bitter smile, "What status? If it was a year ago, I would have been a small merchant in a small town a few hundred miles from here. I would be spending each day acting cautious, living on the edge of death."
"How could that be?" Delores called out in surprise, "Your company is this big, you are this country's noble, and you're that smart, how could you be a small merchant? I don't believe it!"
"Human society is more complicated than the forest. At that time, I had no strength, background, and skills, how could I have any kind of accomplishments?" Meng Qingwu said this and her eyes blurred a bit, "Everything changed in this year. Miracle Commerce was built from nothing, going from small to large, it truly is shocking!"
A year?
Miracle Commerce only used a year?
Delores felt like her mouth couldn't close.
All of this was not Meng Qingwu's masterpiece, it all belonged to the mysterious Miracle City Lord. He really was a miraculous person!
"This king will announce several matters." The Southern Summer King slightly raised his hand and several royal proclamations came out, "Miracle Commerce has performed merits for the Southern Summer Country, so now the Cloud Dream Marquis will be the Cloud Dream Ruler, Nangong Yun will be the Phoenix Marquis, and Meng Yingying will be the Bright Marquis. The Southern Summer Country is small and there is no land to grant, so although it is an empty title, it represents the Southern Summer Country's friendship!"
Whether it was Nangong or Yingying, they really didn't care about the marquis title. The resources they now had, how could a title compare to it, not to mention an empty title? However, to be conferred a title of nobility in their homeland, that was still something to celebrate.
While everyone was enjoying themselves.
Suddenly the Southern Summer King's communication device sounded.
It was normal to have portable communication devices in Central State. Almost anyone with a bit of status had a communication device now, so how could the Southern Summer King not have one?
The Southern Summer King had only said a few words before his brows knit together, "There is something happening on the northern defense line. This king cannot stay with everyone, I'll be leaving first!"
"What did you say? Could it be the northern spirit beasts are back again!" Nangong Yun almost flipped the table, "This is absurd, is there even an end!"
"This is not an all out attack." The Southern Summer King shook his head and said, "This is only harassment."
"You all do not know this." Yun Tianhe on the side said, "During the time you left Southern Summer Country, the War Hounds Kingdom has already harassed the Southern Summer Country five-six times. Although they return without any success, they still cause a bit of trouble. The Southern Summer Country can defend against the War Hounds' attack, but we don't have enough military strength to launch a counterattack. Right now the north and south are completely separated."
Chu Tian knit his brows, "How strong is the War Hounds Country?"
"After the battle of the Four States Lake, the Fang King and his army were completely destroyed. The War Hounds have gathered another three hundred thousand elites on the War Hounds Plains and the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom have increased it by another three hundred thousand, placing around six hundred thousand in their forts. Although their garrison has been increasing, they have only been harassing us the entire time, meaning that they are saving their strength. Once their army increases to a certain point, they will attack the Southern Summer Country again."
"It's too much trouble having such an unpredictable bomb next to us." Chu Tian looked at the young miss beside him, "How about we clean them out since it's convenient for us?"
Casually exterminating them?
The eyes of the Southern Summer King and the others all popped out.
Chu Tian's tone was incomparably casual, how was it like talking about eliminating a large kingdom? It was like a decision that was as simple as drinking a cup of water.
Who would have thought that faced with Chu Tian's proposition, Meng Qingwu would not be surprised at all. She only considered it for a bit before nodding and saying, "This is good as well. Miracle Commerce's industries in Central State are not small and revealing them to the enemy like this is like having a fish bone in our throat, we should eliminate them as soon as possible. We can also take revenge for the heroic deeds of senior marshal Dongfang Zhan on the frontline battlefields."
Chapter 453: Forest guests
Chapter 453: Forest guests
The War Hounds Country was still a large kingdom and all their citizens were soldiers, so how could they be eliminated so easily?
Miracle Commerce hasn't left the Southern Summer Country that long, so how could their tone become this arrogant! It was fine if Chu Tian was like this, but why was Meng Qingwu also like that fellow?
"The Southern Summer Country's strength has recovered, but we still don't have enough battle strength. We can protect ourselves, but we can't fight back." The Southern Summer King gave a sigh, "Not to mention that even if we eliminate the War Hounds Kingdom's main forces, there are still tens of millions of wild spirit beasts in the War Hounds Plains and there was the incomparable strong Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom behind them!"
This was the truth.
A kingdom of the warring kingdom level was not small.
The Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom's quantity and quality of experts was not above the Forest of Chaos' giants, but the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom was still a very large kingdom. They had 1.5 billion citizens and it was a spirit beast kingdom!
There was a very large difference between human kingdoms and spirit beast kingdoms. Human kingdoms were rich and cultured and spirit beast kingdoms were barbaric. Even if a human kingdom and a spirit beast kingdom had armies of the same level, it wasn't necessary they could fight each other.
The War Hounds Plains of tens of millions could become a large kingdom, a War Hounds Kingdom of tens of millions could create an army of a million, and a War Hounds Kingdom of tens of millions could beat the Southern Summer Country of two hundred million half to death. This was a spirit beast kingdom, all their citizens were soldiers!
The Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom's conservative population was 1.5 billion, this was already a very big kingdom on the continent. Moreover with the specialty of a spirit beast kingdom, they had a very large army, especially so since they were a warring kingdom fighting in all four directions. Therefore the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom could have tens of millions of soldiers, plundering in all four directions, living to fight. Wherever they went, all the cities and countries they passed paid tribute to support their armies!
Over these years, the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom have been fighting in every direction. Their armies have been increasing and this was a kingdom that was continuously expanding. The Southern Summer Country was only one of the southern countries the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom has been trying to subdue, so their strength could not be underestimated.
"Even if the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom is strong, they are fighting on all four fronts and cannot gather their battle strength. It's impossible for their armies to come to the Southern Summer Country!" Meng Qingwu was not worried about the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom. If the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom had enough battle strength, what had they been doing for half a year? Stalling for that long and only sending three hundred thousand to the War Hounds Kingdom, this meant that the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom couldn't mobilize too much of their armies right now, "Once we attack the north, we'll form a buffer zone so Central State will not be faced with constant attacks from the spirit beasts."
Chu Tian slapped the table, "We'll just go all in. We'll directly rule the War Hounds Plains and create a Northern Militant Country!"
Everyone was speechless.
This was becoming more and more strange. The War Hounds Kingdom could destroy their country, so how could it be easy to rule the War Hounds Plains? The spirit beasts were nomadic tribes and it was a vast prairie of tens of thousands of miles. They could appear when they wanted and their whereabouts were unpredictable, so how could they be easily found?
Meng Qingwu neither agreed or disagreed, but she started giving orders, "The new generation of Source Energy Weapons have been finished, we might as well use this chance to test their strength. Have Dongfang Haoran move the Berserker Troop Miracle Commerce has prepared in Southern State over."
Gu Qianqiu quickly said, "Two chairmen, we need to reconsider. The Southern State army was trained by Miracle Commerce over these few months by consuming billions of gold coins. The army expenditures, the merit rewards, and the other expenditures will not be a joke once they are moved out!"
Yun Tianhe also said, "This large war will be very consuming, perhaps it will affect Miracle Commerce's development. We should bide our time for now and when the time is right, the kingdom and Miracle Commerce will work together to attack….."
"Our Miracle Commerce doesn't care about this little bit of money!" Chu Tian already made his mind, "Central State City does not need to do anything, the strength of our Miracle City is enough. This battle will end in less than a month and we'll unite the War Hounds Plains in two months!"
The Southern Summer King knit his brows.
Chu Tian liking to boast was not false and looking at history, there was a foundation for his arrogance. However, Meng Qingwu was a stable person and never suffered a loss. If the two of them had this kind of confidence, perhaps they really could solve this problem.
"Alright! Since the two of you have already decided to fight, how could this king still retreat?" The current Southern Summer King was a wise person, "The Southern Summer Country cannot provide too much support or the country's people will suffer. This king has decided to provide one hundred and fifty thousand troops to head north with you all!"
There was completely no need for the Central State City's hundred and fifty thousand troops.
After remaining the Forest of Chaos for so long, the Southern Summer Country's army was weak in their eyes, being no different from clay pots.
Southern State City was Miracle Commerce's barracks and there were close to thirty thousand barbarian berserkers there. These berserkers far surpassed the Southern Summer Country's hundreds of thousands of normal soldiers. Unless it was special troops like griffin knights or Earth Dragon knights, they could not compete with the barbarians.
How difficult was it to train these special elite troops?
If the Southern Summer Country had twenty-thirty thousand griffin knights or Earth Dragon knights, history would have been different!
The most terrifying part of Miracle Commerce was not their special army, but the terrifying equipment they possessed. The Source Energy Weapons increased the army's strength by several times, not even being inferior to the elites of the warring kingdoms.
Miracle Commerce's commanding general was Dongfang Haoran. This was the previous Southern Summer Crown Prince and the current respected Calm Martial Ruler. His progress in this half year was very big, but had never commanded a large battle, so this was a good chance to train him.
After a few hours.
The Central State Transport Tower began to shine.
The Minotaur chief Arnold, the Shaman priest Luz, the Ogre chief Nathaniel, the tiger clan chief Andre…..Several individuals from the Forest of Chaos gathered, these were all warriors with the most power.
The Southern Summer King, the Divine Wind Marquis, and the Golden Arrow Marquis were all stunned. The expressions on their faces were twitching.
They had never seen this many people from different races, all with different builds. What made the Southern Summer King and the Divine Wind Marquis most shocked was that everyone was in the 3rd True Spirit Layer and even the strongest among them was in the 4th True Spirit Layer.
These were several dozen True Spirit Experts!
This was a lineup a small kingdom like the Southern Summer Country could never dare think of!
Any one of these people could fight everyone without a rival!
The roles these few people would have on the battlefield would surpass several hundred thousand elites!
If these people were to cause trouble in Central State, the consequences would be unimaginable. At the very least, there would be no one in Central State City that could resist them!
"City Lord!" Arnold large nostrils released a burst of steam, "How were we suddenly sent here? Where is this!"
The other people still had not reacted as they looked to the left and right with shocked expressions. The large ogres' eyes swept over the humans. Those fierce eyes revealed a sharp aura that made it hard for people to breathe.
"All of you listen carefully." Chu Tian walked in front of them with his hands behind his back. Although he was faced with these fierce forest locals, he was not affected by their auras at all, "Don't say that this City Lord didn't give you a chance. This is a kingdom outside the Forest of Chaos and there are vast prairies to the north, with large amounts of food and territory to steal. I brought you all over here to steal territory and food!"
The eyes of the locals began to sparkle.
They came outside the Forest of Chaos to steal territory and food? This matter was indeed very rare for them!
"The people there are very weak, so you need to properly seize this chance!"
"Yes, City Lord!"
These people rubbed their hands in excitement.
Chu Tian waved his hand and indicated for everyone to calm down, "This is the Southern Summer King!"
The Southern Summer King calmed down a bit and immediately had people prepare food, "These brave warriors have come from far away, the Southern Summer Country has been negligent and have not properly welcomed you. Someone, come and prepare a receptions for these warriors."
These bumpkins had never left the forest in their lives!
These poor country bumpkins, how could they have every enjoyed the rich lives of humans?
The Southern Summer King and the high level members of the Southern Summer Country attached great importance to this matter. It was lucky to have these people visit the Southern Summer Country, it was something they never would have imagined.
Over the next two days.
No matter how much they ate and drank, there was someone there to serve them. This was an experience they have never encountered before.
When these people walked through the city, they caused a stir in Central State City, causing people to run on all fours. However, when the broadcast stations and major media forms announced who they were, their statuses changed among the people.
These strange looking fellows were actually reinforcements from the endless forests to the south!
They were warriors here to fight the War Hounds Country for the Southern Summer Country, each one of them was a true master!
The Southern Summer citizens were no longer scared and treated them as heroes.
When Arnold and the others met this treatment, it was like they had gone to heaven after being treated like this for two days. Their egos were completely satisfied like this.
At this time, a Heaven's Eye airship above the Four States Lake was sending back information and images, "The enemy army has been locked onto. They are to the north and are mainly riding on flying mounts!"
Although the image was not clear, they could still tell that there were close to twenty thousand people in the Eagle Burial Warring Kingdom ambush army. Most likely because of their experience, the War Hounds Country did not dare fight the Southern Summer Country on the water. They instead used giant rocs to transport their army and each roc was carrying six-seven hundred soldiers. Other than the giant rocs, there were people riding flying mounts, this combination made their trip quite safe. It was clear their target was the harbour, factory, or other major areas of Central State City, causing losses and trouble for the Southern Summer Country. They would immediately retreat and would not prolong contact.
The giant transport beasts and the airborne knights worked with each other.
The Southern Summer Country's airborne army was weak, so this army was prepared for long and short term fights.
Miracle Commerce purchased many flying demon beasts from the tribes around Oldman Small Town and Miracle Commerce trained many flying demon beasts, but water far away could not cure the local drought. The Transport Tower's power was limited and unless they built a Space Gate, they could not transport an entire army.
But that was not necessary, their current strength was already enough!

The crystal oil from Oldman Small Town was already being mined and with the silver crystal oil, the company had already began developing a new generation of energy. Based on this, naturally they created a new generation of weapons.
Miracle Commerce created a large market in Oldman Small Town and they kept sending materials to the secret weapon factory in the Southern Summer Country. Now they already had a bunch of weapons made.
Meng Qingwu contacted the factory and immediately a bunch of the newest weapons were sent over.
They looked like Source Energy Cannons, but they were also different.
The Source Energy Cannon sent out shells with energy waves and created giant explosions to kill. However, even though the Source Energy Cannons were strong, there was an important flaw that was hard to neglect. It used the energy condensed to send out energy waves, so it became weaker as it consumed the energy. When it reached a certain distance, it would completely dissipate all the energy, limiting the range and effective firing distance.
The weapon sent over now was a weapon that could fire live rounds, a large scale rocket launcher!
Miracle Commerce staff brought over an over three meter long rocket.
The rocket was incomparably large and as thick as a person's leg. There were blue crystals embedded into it with large amounts of runes written on, releasing waves of energy.
"The bottom of the rockets and the rocket launchers have matching stimulating source energy arrays. Once the rocket is activated, the large amount of energy will send it out and it can reach over a hundred miles. It has an average speed of seven miles per second and will explode when it hits anything or is met with great resistance!"
"This a pretty good long range weapon!"
"The rocket head is built with second generation energy, so it is very powerful. Even a late stage True Spirit Expert would find it hard to resist." Meng Qingwu continued to explain, "This kind of weapon was invented to attack villages and large targets that couldn't move. Now that we have Smart Brain, we could try to target moving armies."
Chu Tian said, "Instead of saying all this, we should just test it. Zero, are you prepared?"
"The preparations have been made!"
"Good, we're going!"
Several new battleships were docked in the Central State port. These were a new generation of battleships made with the efforts of the Southern Summer Royal Clan and Miracle Commerce, not only did they use high level source energy movement, they were also fitted with first generation Source Energy Cannons. Whether it was speed or battle strength, they could not be matched.
Five rocket launchers were sent onto the deck of a large battleship.
The rocket launchers were not manually controlled, rather Zero had built a temporary control bench here. This control bench not only controlled the rocket launcher, it was also connected to the information sent from the Heaven's Eye airship. The enemy's position, speed, and direction were all sent to the Source Energy Matrix Computer and ten energy columns were being used as the entire system quickly operated.
This generation of Smart Brain was big and slow, but it still could make five hundred million computations per second, which was enough to process the large amount of information. With the enemy's position, movement paths, flight speed, and their amount of weapons, it was enough to calculate the best method of defending.
The Southern Summer Country's army gathered.
The hundred and fifty thousand elite Central State City troops boarded the ships and the thirty thousand Southern State berserkers gathered along the way. It could be said that under the watch of the Southern Summer Country, the War Hounds could not ambush them at all.
Only with how far both sides were, they couldn't even see the other side with a telescope, so how could they target the airborne units? This was not the same as bombing a city. The target was far, small, and moving, this was not an easy matter to accomplish.
The Southern Summer King's group and Arnold's group all stood on the deck, waiting for something to happen.
"The targets are in rance and have been locked on, the rockets can be launched. There is a 87% chance of hitting!" Zero mechanically said without any emotions, "Do you want to fire?"
Chu Tian looked at the empty sky and nodded, "Fire!"
Zero coldly said, "Beginning launch!"
The rocket launcher slightly adjusted and with several explosions, five long pointed spear like rockets flew out. They all soared into the clouds, with tails that weren't long or beautiful, only releasing a faint blue and white energy trail. However, the speed was incredibly fast and it was as if it would penetrate into space. The air was violently ripped through and lit on fire, surrounding the entire rocket!
Too fast.
The rockets broke the sound barrier before wildly speeding up, reaching its max speed for several seconds. Going around six-seven miles per second, this was almost more than ten times the speed of sound!
Was ten times the speed of sound astonishing?
Even True Spirit Realm experts would find it hard to reach this speed!
The War Hounds army was a thousand meters in the sky and all of them were unaware of the approaching danger. When they vaguely saw several lights in the sky, it was already too late.
The rockets were much faster than the speed of sound!
Therefore, it was already too late when they heard it break the sound barrier!
Five rockets burned through the sky, turning into five meteors that fell from outer space. They had travelled tens of thousands of miles, looking tattered as they flew forward. The War Hounds Army did not even have time to shout out before the five rockets hit the giant rocs.
There was no explosion!
It was rather a storm!
It was an impressive expanding storm of energy!
The giant rocs were swallowed by the storm of energy and their bodies were shred into pieces of flesh. Several hundred War Hound elites were instantly torn apart, not even leaving behind a body.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
Everyone looked at the energy storm in the distance. Even if they weren't blown to death, with violent energy storm sweeping out, it would be hard for them to retreat in one piece.
"It can't be!" Nangong Yun's eyes popped out, "Why is it so strong!"
Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, "This kind of weapon isn't bad, we need to make more of them in the future."
This kind of missile and pure energy weapon would have their period.
The Source Energy Cannons had a short fire distance, but now its effective range had been increased and it couldn't be intercepted. The one point of shooting a mass of energy waves was that the requirement for the launcher material was too high. For this kind of compact high level energy, could a normal material withstand it? Therefore, the materials used were the ones for the high level Source Energy Cannons from before.
The rocket missile had too long of a range. When Miracle Commerce had a Smart Brain with more information and automation, it would be a very strong and far ranged deterrent. This was because they sent the shell and before it activated, there would be no consumption. Of course the drawback was that it would be easier to intercept and the might would be inferior to the Source Energy Cannons.
Chu Tian said, "How many more rockets do we have?"
Meng Qingwu shook her head and said, "This is the latest weapon and this is the first time using it, so there aren't any stocks. This was only the first real weapons test."
"What! Truly disappointing!" Chu Tian sighed and said, "The company's production strength is too weak, we need to strengthen it and strengthen it again! Alright, everyone hear my order, immediately move forward and capture the fish in our nets!"
Although they didn't have any more rockets, they already achieved their goal.
Several large rocs were killed and many War Hounds soldiers were seriously injured. They suffered such heavy losses before even reaching Central State territory, it could be imagined how large of a hit this was to the War Hounds army. The survivors would not have any fighting ability or the morale to fight!
The hundred and fifty thousand Southern Summer soldiers activated their ships and several hundred warships cut across the surface of the lake. This scene looked very magnificent. Everyone only had one goal, they would seize the port at Cang State to the north of the Four States Lake and directly attack the War Hounds' fortress!
The scattered War Hounds army did not need to be chased at all.
The Giant Shark Gang blocked off all the retreating soldiers, catching all the War Hounds troops in a giant net.
The Giant Shark Gang also underwent a large change after Chu Tian left. Boss Yu was already a True Spirit Expert and the Giant Shark Gang had doubled in half a year, becoming a first rate force in the Southern Summer Country. This was a power that no one dared neglect, especially in the Four States Lake.
The fleet carrying the berserker warriors from Southern State arrived first. After the Southern Summer Country troops gathered with them, they set off for the Cang state port.
The Southern Summer officers had waited for this counterattack for too long!
Southern Summer had a deep grudge with the War Hounds, especially after their Imperial City was seized and they lost the northern states. Countless Southern Summer citizens were killed and pillaged and the entire Southern Summer Country were filled with rage. Only faced with the aggressive War Hounds, the Southern Summer Country couldn't do a thing.
Chu Tian raised morale in the Southern Summer troops once again!
Miracle Commerce was participating in the battle this time, so they were certain to succeed!
Their morale erupted, creating an aura that rose tens of thousands of miles. They kept moving forward, not stopping for a second. The War Hounds never would have imagined that the Southern Summer army would suddenly fight this decisive battle. The Southern Summer Country would count on catching them off guard to break through their foundations and steal back the land their country lost.
Chu Tian said, "This kind of direct attack will create too many casualties, we'll go behind them first and play a trick!"
"Alright!"
Vivian immediately brought Chu Tian away with spatial teleportation.
Vivian's innate spatial energy was very good, they would move several hundred miles with each spatial teleportation. Although Chu Tian could also use spatial energy, his spatial teleportation couldn't match hers for now!
"We're here!"
The two of them arrived at Cang State a day before the fleet.
This was the connection between Cang State and the Imperial Region. Cang State had several ports here and it had been the Southern Summer Country's area of trade, but since the War Hounds spirit beasts occupied this place, it had changed greatly.
Chu Tian entered the Cang State fort with Vivian's abilities. The two of them quickly placed strong explosives in every corner of the fort. These explosives were built using the second generation energy materials, so they were naturally very strong.
After all the preparations had been made.
Chu Tian left the fort without any knowing. Now he would just wait for the good show to begin.
Chapter 455: Taking back land
Chapter 455: Taking back land
Vivian cut open space and led Chu Tian away. She was already so tired that she almost collapsed. Her little face was red with exhaustion and there were crystal like sweat all over it, she was so tired that she couldn't even speak.
Chu Tian patted her back to soothe her, "What's wrong with you, you're this tired from this little bit?"
"Big brother Chu Tian, you say it so easily, but I almost died from exhaustion." Vivian was teleporting every thirty seconds with a human and a fox, it could be imagined how tiring that was, "Doesn't big brother have spatial energy, you can clearly do this kind of short distance teleportation yourself."
This little girl still complained.
"My abilities aren't as refined as yours. If we were to compare in terms of spatial abilities, how could I compare to you!" Chu Tian shamelessly praised this little elf before honestly saying, "Our activities in the fort needs to be precise, it can't be tolerated if each teleportation is off by even half a meter. This is a training opportunity I'm giving you, it'll raise the level of your powers sooner. I feel that if your spatial energy cultivation increases a bit again, you won't be able to compare to your current self. You'll only need to open a spatial hole and directly place the bombs."
"Really? I will work hard then!" Vivian's thoughts were simple, so she directly believed him, "Then what should we do now?"
The little fox's Divine Eye could see through the entire fort.
Chu Tian brought Vivian to place large amounts of Source Energy Bombs, going very smoothly from beginning to end, not leaving a single clue behind. Now they were just waiting for the fleet to arrive.
Dawn was about to pass and the sky quickly lit up, as the Southern Summer fleet finally arrived. This fleet was very big, reaching several hundred ships, with several leading ones equipped with Source Energy Cannons. They were currently moving in a row, giving off a very big aura.
The War Hounds side wasn't blind. How could they still not know?
"On guard!"
"There are large amounts of warships on the lake!"
"Fuck! The Southern Summer monkeys! It's the Southern Summer monkeys!"
"Send out the fleet and the airborne units, immediately sink those monkeys!"
The Southern Summer fleet was several hours away from the port and the fortress quickly fell into chaos as it prepared to defend. The War Hounds had taken over the north for over six months now, it was impossible for them to do nothing. Actually at the Cang State port, there were over a hundred warships which had been collected by the War Hounds through various methods.
When these ships received the orders from the fort and were about to set sail from the port, there was a deafening explosion. The Giant Shark Gang had already placed Source Energy Bombs under the warships and before the different sides met, most of the War Hound warships had sunk.
The War Hounds were thrown into confusion.
The airborne units moved at this time.
The War Hounds still had superiority in the air. Even if the Southern Summer Country had the airships, they were too big and couldn't move fast enough. The Heaven's Punishment airships could do high altitude bombing, but it was very weak in terms of airborne combat.
Chu Tian gave a cold laugh, "Truly seeking death!"
When the War Hounds airborne units were about to dive the warships, there was a wild storm of light bullets from the deck of the warships. Tens of thousands of energy bullets filled the sky causing the War Hounds vulture knights to be instantly torn into shreds. The pieces fell into the lake and dyed the lake a deep red colour.
Source Energy Guns!
This was clearly the Source Energy Guns!
The War Hounds knew that the Southern Summer Country had quite a few of these weapons, but they had already prepared themselves. They thought that it wouldn't matter if they could approach and the weapons would become jokes. But the result? They never would have thought that the assault of the Southern Summer Country would be ten times more fierce than they imagined!
The thirty thousand reserve forces from Southern State had arrived!
This was the army Miracle Commerce trained for themselves!
Miracle Commerce spared no expense in training this group. The thirty thousand barbarian berserkers not only had shocking strength, but they had formed groups of ten where each group had a Storm Rifle and a portable Source Energy Cannon, as well as submachine guns for each member.
Thirty thousand people meant three thousand Storm Rifles!
Three thousand Storm Rifles were enough to create a storm of death!
Not to mention that Miracle Commerce had invented a multi barrel heavy gun that had six different barrels, shooting out five-six thousand bullets per minute. This was a weapon that was even more wild than the Storm Rifles. Miracle Commerce's weapon research experts had named it the "Heavy Destruction Gun". Although it wasn't easy to move, once it was set up, it could suppress an entire area with its strong firepower!
Because the material and energy requirements were high, there weren't many of these heavy machine guns. There were only ten in the entire army, but this was enough to create a very terrifying killing effect.
With such a difference in strength, was there even a need to fight?
It wasn't that Chu Tian was looking down on these fellows. Not to mention the current quantity, even if the War Hounds' airborne units increased by three-five times, they wouldn't be able to pose any threat to the Southern Summer fleet!
Miracle Commerce purchased large amounts of materials and metals from all around the world, most of them were used to make Source Energy Weapons. They didn't sell much ammunition, arming their own armies with the best weapons and selling the second generation weapons to the Southern Summer Country. There was no army that could imagine the destructive might of this army.
The War Hounds airborne units clashed with the Southern Summer troops, leaving less than half to run away. There was not a single person with the courage to approach the Southern Summer fleet.
"Close the fort!"
"Close the fort!"
Several wolf tribe commanders shouted in shock and rage. They never would have thought that the Southern Summer Country would become this strong, their weapon progress was just too fast! The battle of Imperial City hadn't even been a year yet and their firepower had increased by more than ten times!
The War Hounds soldiers fell into confusion as they tried to prepare the fort's defenses.
There were several dozen earth shaking explosions that came from the fortress which were the Source Energy Bombs Chu Tian and Vivian had secretly place in the fortress. Although there were only several dozen Source Energy Bombs, even if they were super powerful bombs, they couldn't blow up the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the fort, still not killing them all didn't mean there was no effect. The Source Energy Bombs were placed in key positions, so not only did they make the fort's defenses collapsed, they also destroyed several fortifications.
The fort's soldiers quickly fell into confusion. The Southern Summer fleet had time to arrive at the port and began to bombard them with the Source Energy Cannons, destroying the remaining War Hounds ships and the port itself. Then the barbarian berserkers began to disembark one by one.
The troops protecting the War Hounds port couldn't resist them.
Miracle Commerce's barbarian heavy infantry began to move onto shore while being armed to the teeth. They marched through the exploding and burning fortress, preparing all kinds of equipment.
Almost at the same time.
Several airships appeared above the War Hounds' fort. These Heaven's Punishment ships opened their bombardment doors. As long as Miracle Commerce gave the order, they could drop countless powerful bombs like rain onto the fort.
Over!
It's completely over!
The War Hounds' fort was a lamb to the slaughter.
Whether it was the berserker army, the airships over their heads, or the hundred thousand Southern Summer soldiers, the fort in chaos couldn't stop them at all. Although the spirit beasts were aggressive, faced with this absolute inferiority, they were filled with despair.
They couldn't even incite the instincts of a trapped beast!
Chu Tian saw that the situation was about over, so he took out a communication device and spoke into a public channel, "Everyone, stop attacking! Everyone, stop attacking!"
All the forces stopped their attacks.
But they still sealed the fort with countless weapons pointed at them. The War Hounds did not even have a chance to counterattack.
"Connect the airship speakers!"
Chu Tian connected his communication device to the speakers on the airships. His voice could pass through the entire fort, allowing all the soldiers inside to hear him clearly.
"Hello various friends, I am Chu Tian. I think everyone knows me, so I won't introduce myself."
"With your current condition, you don't have any chance of victory, so I will give you a chance to live! Kill off any Eagle Burial Kingdom commanders, put down your weapons and come out to surrender. I swear with my reputation that we will not kill or mistreat any captives!"
"Don't believe them!" The faces of two Eagle Burial Kingdom commanders changed, "Human are despicable! They cannot be trusted!"
"We have already displayed out strength, you have no chance of winning this fight. Even if the Eagle Burial Kingdom personally come, Miracle Commerce and the Southern Summer Country are not afraid. Since there is no longer a need to fight, why do you need to keep making senseless sacrifices for the Eagle Burial Kingdom? I'll give you all five minutes. If the answer I want doesn't appear, I will turn this place into scorched earth and then light the War Hounds Plains! I'll slaughter all your tribes!"
This was a naked threat!
What choice did the War Hounds people have?
The spirit beasts had a violent nature and they knew that it was impossible for them to defeat the Southern Summer Country with their current situation. With their wild beast instincts, an uproar soon filled the fort.
Not long passed.
The uproar calmed down again.
The two commanders and the several high level officers the Eagle Burial Kingdom sent had all been killed. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the fort threw down their weapons and raised their hands high up in surrender.
The Southern Summer people were a bit confused.
The Southern Summer Country clearly had the advantage, why would they let these forces go? If these hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed, the War Hounds Kingdom's lifeline would be deeply injured and it would be hard for them to recover.
"Our true enemy is the Eagle Burial Kingdom, the War Hounds Plains is the cushion between the Eagle Burial Kingdom and the Southern Summer Country. As long as we force the War Hounds Kingdom to betray the Eagle Burial Kingdom, then the War Hounds Plains will become our cushion. The forces of the War Hounds Plains cannot be killed, we still need to send them back and even help and equip them." Chu Tian said this before adding, "Other than that, we can set an example of not killing them, making it easier to reclaim our territory."
It was as Chu Tian said.
The Southern Summer Country not only spared these hundreds of thousands of captives, they also fed and took care of them. When the Southern Summer army marched into the Imperial Region, Furnace State, and Cang State, they were almost completely unimpeded.
The War Hounds already didn't have any believe and their morale was very low. Now that the several hundred thousand main forces were captured, how could they keep wanting to fight back?
The Southern Summer army recovered thousands of miles of land, reclaiming all the territory stolen from them half a year ago!
Chapter 456: Damage control
Chapter 456: Damage control
When the War Hounds' southern fort was easily captured by the Southern Summer troops, the overall situation was decided and there would be no other changes.
So what if the millions of spirit beasts on the War Hounds Plains were all soldiers?
This world's battles were never decided just by quantity!
Miracle Commerce's thirty thousand berserkers could kill hundreds of thousands of enemies as easily as drinking water. The War Hounds' strength had been consumed by the frequent infighting and after several large battles, how could they have anything left!
Moreover, these forces were not just an army, but rather their national strength. The War Hounds Kingdom was now very hard pressed, so how could they raise another army this big? The southern fort's hundreds of thousand of troops all relied on the food they stole from the Southern Summer Country to survive on!
After the final hundreds of thousands of elite troops surrender, the War Hounds Plains had no soldiers or food. In comparison, Chu Tian had experts like clouds. Arnold led the forest locals to kill the prairie's experts who could be considered first class experts in even in the Eagle Burial Country.
It was because of this that when Chu Tian attacked Imperial City, Arnold leading these people in a charge led to them not knowing who the new Fang King was in the end. When they searched for the Fang King, they found that he had already been killed by these people.
This pitiful War Hounds Kingdom Fang King had died a vexing death. Arnold did not even know he was a king, he just thought it was someone he could easily kill.
The entire Imperial Region, Cang State, and Furnace State were all recovered.
The War Hounds were completely empty lamps, how could they resist the well trained and well equipped Southern Summer army?
The War Hounds Kingdom had only lasted for half a year before they were disbanded again. The War Hounds Plains large tribes had suffered heavy losses, it could be said they went for wool and came back shorn. Most likely they would fall into disunity and began fighting each other like before, so it was impossible for them to regroup!
When they returned to the previous Southern Summer Imperial City.
The city no longer had the same liveliness that it had for hundreds of years. After that tragic battle where two Southern Summer Rulers had died and hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost their lives, there were hundreds of thousands that created a resistance army inside the city.
However, it was a futile effort.
After Imperial City fell, a third of the city was destroyed in battle and the population was reduced by a fifth. After the War Hounds took over Imperial City, they looted the entire city of all its treasures and resources, as well as turning all humans into spirit beasts slaves. Those that rebelled were all killed and the population was reduced by another fifth.
After the War Hounds failed in the south and they suffered heavy injuries to their armies, it was lucky that the previous Fang King had good insight, sending the elite Demon Wolf Cavalry into the Imperial Region. So although the army and the Fang King died in battle, the War Hounds still had enough strength to guard their rear.
The Eagle Burial Country had quickly sent a new king.
Because the fights of the warring kingdom were serious on all four sides with the Eagle Burial Country fighting at least eight countries at once, they did not have and strength to spare for a small country like the Southern Summer Country. This new Fang King couldn't wait for reinforcements and learned from the failure of his predecessor, so he prepared for a long battle.
The War Hounds had enslaved several million humans to open farmlands for the War Hounds Kingdom on the prairies. He also enslaved several million humans to build the southern fort and fix the destroyed ports. Then he enslaved another several million humans to build equipment for their future battle. In order to not give the Southern Summer Country a chance to recover, he also frequently sent harassment teams to cause disturbances.
At least ten million workers were beaten to death, exhausted to death, starved to death, escaped, or killed for resisting. In short, this killed off at least half of the population again. The war, enslavement, and escape almost killed off all the young men.
As for the women? They were a bit lucky in this sense because the spirit beasts were not interested in human women, but that did not mean others were not interested. The War Hounds King had ordered large amounts of beautiful and young human girls to be sold to the northern countries to secure resources and funds, but because it was troublesome and took a long time, they didn't sell many people, but it still reduced the population.
In short, during the half a year of war, the people could not make a living.
There were less than a fourth of the original northern population!
The old burnt Imperial City gates were open and the once bustling streets were filled with destroyed buildings. It stank to the heavens and looked very ragged. There were almost no adult males and the ones outside were all females, children, and old people. Each one was covered in rags, how did they still have the noble appearance of the Imperial City citizens? This was simply a group of beggars!"
"My king is finally back!"
"We knew the Southern Summer Country wouldn't throw us away!"
"Long live Southern Summer, Long live Southern Summer, Long live Southern Summer!"
Countless beggars openly wept in the streets, creating a very moving scene. They were once the proud citizens of Imperial City who lived rich lives, but now their families had been completely destroyed.
The Southern Summer King had an awkward expression.
All of this came from the fault in the northern defenses, finally ending in the Imperial Region and the two northern states being given up on. The Southern Summer King used to be the Calm Martial Ruler, the commander of the nation's army and the frontline's highest commander. Everything becoming like this was a large failure of his duties!
"The War Hounds Kingdom is destined to be destroyed!"
"The War Hounds Plains will not be able to cause trouble again!"
"The Southern Summer Country will work with Miracle Commerce to subdue them. Everyone should look forward to rebuilding our country!"
The Southern Summer people quickly comforted the refugees.
The Meng sisters, Nangong Yun, Vivian, and the others all revealed deeply hurt expressions, especially the sentimental Meng Yingying. She simply did not dare believe that in half a year, the Imperial City would become a ghost city like this. The citizens were thin as bones from hunger, just like wandering ghosts living in a ruin.
This was the brutality of war?
Meng Yingying felt a deep sense of guilt.
The northern Southern Summer Country fell to the enemies and millions of people lived hard lives, but she lost herself in her rich lifestyle and completely forgotten about them. If they thought about this carefully, if there wasn't Chu Tian in this world, the entire Southern Summer Country would have been unable to escape. Wouldn't she be the same as these people?
Although it wasn't her responsibility, she couldn't help feeling a strong guilt.
Meng Yingying pulled on Chu Tian's clothes, "We should help them rebuild the city!"
Chu Tian gave a slight nod, "Repairing the country is easy, but it is hard to defend it. We need to secure the northern side and only then will we be able to prevent this from happening again."
Meng Qingwu had Vivian use the Space Warehouse to bring large amounts of medicine and supplies over for the refugees, these would temporarily alleviate this urgent matter. The southern supply and assistance forces would arrive in a few days, so there was no need to worry about this matter for now. Several people sat down to hold a meeting afterwards.
This meeting was on how to restore the Southern Summer Country, what to do with the prisoners of war, and how to sweep through the northern prairies.
The War Hounds King's plan was normal and conservative, but it was correct strictly speaking. The War Hounds Country wildly enslaved humans to open land, build forts, build ships, and make equipment. This would one build their forces and two allow them to wait for a perfect opportunity. The only thing they didn't expect was that the Southern Summer Country would change so quickly.
Now the War Hounds Country were completely done.
The Southern Summer Country had captured at least eight hundred thousand spirit beasts in the Imperial Region, Cang State, and Furnace State, as well as one hundred thousand Demon Wolf mounts from the Eagle Burial Country. Now it was a headache to deal with them.
Properly speaking.
These were evil invaders.
By right they should bring them to the old Imperial City to execute them one by one to increase morale, but logic told everyone that this was wrong. Most of them were War Hounds Plains elites and support sent by the far Eagle Burial Country. Now that they had betrayed the Eagle Burial Country, if they could use them, this strength could be used to form a barrier against the Eagle Burial Country to the Southern Summer Country's north.
Chu Tian expressed his thoughts again, "I suggest that when we release them back to the War Hounds Plains, we can create a puppet regime in the War Hounds Plains, creating a Northern Militant Country. We can hold the prairies in our hands and feel assured forever."
Prop up a puppet regime?
The Southern Summer King agreed to this, but it wasn't very likely, "The War Hounds and Southern Summer have been enemies for a long time, is it that easy to prop up a puppet regime?"
"Actually it isn't hard, just leave this matter to Miracle Commerce." Meng Qingwu laid out her plan, "We have many experts in the forest, whether it is the spirit beasts or other races, we have quite a few. We can send a few powerful spirit beasts into the War Hounds Plains to gather power. Other than that, Shaman priest Luz, I think he would be very interested in developing his Shaman Religion in the prairies."
Chu Tian's eyes lit up, "The War Hounds Plains is fertile soil for the Shaman Religion and we have seen the Shamans' skills before. With Luz's group's skills and our Miracle Commerce's skills, it would take long before our thorns pierce into them. Whether they are subdued or controlled by gu insects, there are methods to make them bow to our feet in the end."
"That's right, we can use the Eagle Burial Country's method and colonize the War Hounds Plains to rule them, before using faith to solidify that reign. After we have complete grasp over the War Hounds Plains, whether it is the prairies or Miracle Commerce, we will both benefit from this. I think the prairie tribes aren't dumb, they will rely on us after giving up on the Eagle Burial Country!"
The Southern Summer King saw their confidence and he cautiously asked, "How confident are you?"
Releasing hundreds of thousands of elites back into the prairies, this was a very large risk for the Southern Summer Country.
"The Southern Summer King doesn't need to worry. We just need to pick a suitable Northern Militant King and we'll consolidate the Northern Militant Country's power in just a few months!" Chu Tian swept his eyes across the vast plains, "Now that we are filled with morale, how about we take back some of the Southern Summer ancestral land and return to being the Great Summer Country!"
Once these words were said.
Even the calm Southern Summer King revealed an excited look. Gu Qianqiu and Yun Tianhe were filled with joy. All the previous dynasties of the Southern Summer Country wished to take back their land and become the Great Summer Country again.
This goal was already close at hand!
Although the kingdom's current national strength and population weren't enough to match this name, everyone knew that with the kingdom's current potential and development speed, they were certainly worthy of this Great Summer Country name!
Chapter 457: Let's get married
Chapter 457: Let's get married
Propping a puppet regime in the War Hounds Plains was not a decision made on a whim, but rather a strategic decision for Miracle City. Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu both realized a problem. Miracle Commerce was a foreign power, so it wasn't easy for them to expand in the Forest of Chaos.
On the surface, the Forest of Chaos seemed uncultured wasteland, but it was actually more complicated underneath. The entire Forest of Chaos was actually filled many different powers. Miracle Commerce in name was attached to the Eternal Forest. But they didn't receive any support from the Eternal Forest. They couldn't feel it now, but soon there will be forces coming at them from all directions.
It wasn't hard to predict that Miracle City would be impeded everywhere. Not to mention their large territory, building factories, creating large barracks, and opening resources will attract the jealousy of others.
Now they had a chance to take out a part of their strength and resources, establishing a power outside the forest. With Miracle Commerce's spatial transport superiority, even if they were limited by millions of miles, it wouldn't matter. This was a much better investment.
The puppet regime of the Northern Militant Country was very significant.
This was an independent country under Miracle Commerce's control!
Meng Qingwu had studied the layout of the plains north of the Southern Summer Country. This area was too big, including the Imperial Region plains, Cang State plains, the War Hounds Plains, and continuing all around. The prairies took up tens of millions of kilometers and was the size of four-five kingdoms. Therefore, the background was not bad, but the spirit beasts were just too dumb.
The War Hounds Plains occupied 60% of the prairies. It was very vast and smooth, not having any natural defenses, so it could be a central area in the future. The War Hounds Plains were not a barren land, with millions of spirit beasts and tens of thousands of miles of prairie land, whether it was the population, land, or resources, they could all be developed. It wasn't done so because the dumb spirit beasts did not know how to do so.
Once there was a puppet regime made on the War Hounds Plains.
It would be a large support for the Southern Summer side because the north would become stable and prosperous, harvesting many different resources, this would serve to the interests of the Great Summer Country. Linking the north and south like this, they might not even lose to a super leveled warring kingdom!
This matter was decided on just like this!
Chu Tian made the decision on the scene, "Dongfang Haoran, you'll be stationed on the War Hounds Plains frontline and will stabilize the War Hounds Plains. Luz will lead the Shaman priests to spread the Shaman Religion across the War Hounds Plains. Arnold and the others can think of methods to win over the powers on the War Hounds Plains. This land is large and fertile, so how much territory and population you can steal will depend on your skills."
Everyone was very excited.
Especially the orc Luz. Luz was the Head Priest of the Miracle City Shamans and he knew that the War Hounds Plains situation was very suitable to spreading the Shaman Religion. Most of the War Hounds tribes were poor and now were faced with tragic defeat, it was the best time to invade with religion. As long as Miracle Commerce provided material support, the Shaman Religion would surely spread through the land.
Only Luz was a bit worried. He hesitantly said, "Sir City Lord, although the plains are good, it's too far from the forest. Although we can go directly to Central State through the Transport Tower, we still need several days, so I'm afraid we won't have enough manpower."
"Could it be this city lord wouldn't think of this problem? Just relax, I won't be idle. From Central State to the War Hounds Country, the distance is a bit far, so for efficiency, I will build a Transport Tower in the Northern Militant Country as soon as possible. In the future the Northern Militant Transport Tower will be linked to the Miracle City Transport Tower, so it'll be easier to move between the two.
The various tribe chiefs were overjoyed.
This truly was a very good piece of news!
If the prairies had a Transport Tower, what difference was it from Miracle City's back garden? Miracle City's people could come for a stroll when they wanted, it wouldn't be a problem at all! These chiefs could go all out in fighting to establish their influence in this region!
Everyone excitedly rushed off with their orders.
"Naturally it'll be more convenient if the War Hounds Plains has a Transport Tower." Meng Qingwu asked with a frown, "But we really can't take out the materials to build another Transport Tower."
This was the problem causing Chu Tian headaches as well.
They had the core Eye of the Star.
But they didn't have enough spatial crystals.
Most of the gnomes' stock had been used by Chu Tian and how could he obtain this kind of rare material as he wished? There was no choice, he could only go look for it with all his might!
Chu Tian said, "We'll separate and look. The young miss will try to buy them in the forest and I'll go north to the various other countries and try to buy them from the large kingdom markets. We'll also take this chance to establish connections in the different markets, asking about the situation with the other kingdoms."
The Northern Militant Country couldn't be established in one day.
Miracle Commerce did not lack money or resources, this was just a problem of time.
Meng Qingwu led people back to Miracle City. There were hundreds of things to do in Miracle City and it couldn't lack a leader for long. She was anxious to head back with Smart Brain, immediately using it to manage the key systems.
Chu Tian had been very bored being stuck in the forest for several months, so he wanted to use the excuse of establishing the Northern Militant Country and to buy resources to move around in the surrounding counties, so he wasn't in a rush to return. Nangong, Vivian, and the others all had jobs, so although they wanted to go with Chu Tian, they couldn't leave for now and could only follow the young miss back.
After a week.
The Southern Summer King Dongfang Gan announced in the old Imperial City of the country's name changing to the Great Summer Country!
The northern region was seriously damaged and in order to develop the country, the Great Summer Country took Central State City as its capital. Furnace State and Cang State did not change, but the Imperial Region and their recovered ancestral land was split into seven new states. The Great Summer Country was not interested in expanding north, so they acquired some wasteland to the east, west, and south, creating three new states. The Great Summer Country now had sixteen states and it had doubled in size. If it was just based on territory, the Great Summer Country could qualify as a large kingdom.
The Great Summer King also titled new marquises, three for the south and three for the north. He picked important people from Miracle Commerce who also held high positions in the country, like Dongfang Haoran, Gu Qianqiu, and Yun Tianhe, as well as people from the Nangong and Shangguan Families.
These six areas were special development areas for the Great Summer Country. They were areas developed by both the Great Summer Country and Miracle Commerce. They supported Miracle Commerce's factories, cities, and training camps, not taking taxes from them at all.
Other than that, the Country Guarding Ruler Chu Tian had been titles 'Great Summer Country Scholar' and the Cloud Dream Ruler Meng Qingwu was granted the title of Great Summer Foreign Minister. Dongfang Gan's heart was clear that the Great Summer Country's rising honour couldn't have happened without Miracle Commerce and Miracle Commerce still needed the Great Summer Country right now. The two sides would benefit from each other and both win.
What was the problem with adding a few titles?
Chu Tian had already said that even if the Southern Summer throne was given to him, he wouldn't be interested at all. Not to mention this empty title? When the Great Summer Country held the ceremony to change its name, he didn't even appear!
At this time, Chu Tian was leading one big and one small beauty, riding into the depths of the prairies on horses.
He had come on official business this time, but Chu Tian was not in a rush to complete his task. He immediately brought Yingying out to have fun in the prairies.
Meng Yingying was very happy playing like this. The prairie's scenery was different and in a week's time, she had visited ancient ruins, met wandering tribes, and had even seen a magnificent scene of ten thousand horses running. There were no enemies chasing them or and threats, she just stayed with Chu Tian all day, camping outside together and playing together. This was simply the happiest time in her entire life!
This day, when the sun set to the west, Chu Tian and Yingying were tired from playing, so they sat on a ball of grass watching the sun sight leaning against each other.
That fire red sunset turned the entire sky red and the prairies reflected a beautiful golden red colour. The vast and endless prairies filled anyone who saw it with endless joy.
Meng Yingying's hands held her knees and the sunset dyed her white as jade face with a slight blush. She used a casual voice to say, "Hey, Chu Tian, we've known each other for a year now, haven't you always forgotten to say something to me?"
"Say what?"
"You know in your heart!" Meng Yingying glared at him, "Humph, I'm telling you, this matter can't always be delayed. I'm almost an adult and if don't make your move, I won't wait for you!"
Chu Tian feigned a confused expression, "Yingying, what do you want to say? Why can't I understand at all!"
The happy mood Meng Yingying built over the past few days was instantly shattered by this hateful fellow. She said it this clearly, but this fellow was still acting silly. She gave an angry snort and stood up to leave, "Just wait to feel regret! I'm ignoring you!"
Chu Tain laughed. When she turned around, he immediately reached out to grab her slender arms.
"You….You hoodlum!" Meng Yingying's face became as red as an apple. After struggling for a bit, she leaned against his chest, "You're bullying me, I'll tell elder sister when I get back!"
"Yingying, you're right, there are some things that can't wait." Chu Tian ignored Meng Yingying's threat and closed his eyes to sniff the fragrance coming from the girl, "Let's get married!"
Meng Yingying felt her mind become blank.
What was this bastard's mind thinking? They hadn't properly associated with each other yet, but he wanted to jump to this step! This fellow's thinking was just too hard to accept! Meng Yingying found that she could never follow this bastard's thoughts!
"You, you….."
"You're not willing?" Chu Tian let go and said with a shrug, "Then forget it!"
"No, no...I didn't say I wasn't willing, don't misunderstand….." Meng Yingying shouted in a panic, before thinking this was a bit improper, "Only….You're rushing too much. Also…..What about elder sister?"
It was a bit inappropriate to mention this at this time.
Chu Tian's brows immediately knit. Although there were many beauties by his side and each one was very outstanding, compared to them, he knew Yingying the longest and had the purest relationship with her.
The young miss was a beauty with peerless talent.
Any normal man would be moved by her.
Chu Tian's time spent with the young miss, their relationship, and their feelings was not less than his with Yingying. However, it was usually the relationship between friends, so it wasn't as sincere and natural as his relationship with Yingying. Chu Tian couldn't say who was better, but he was more comfortable with Yingying.
"Humph, I am not blind. This problem cannot be avoided, elder sister definitely likes you!" Meng Yingying indignantly said, "There's also Nangong, Vivian, and the others. Even if they don't have that kind of feeling towards you, they still worship you and do not have any resistance to you at all. I really can't understand what's good about a fellow like you. Clearly you have all those problems, so how can you entice all those women."
He really couldn't tell.
This little girl actually had a very deep insight!
Chu Tian said with a helpless expression, "It's my fault my charm is too strong, actually I'm already very low key. I swear to the heavens and I have never taken the initiative to entice anyone."
Meng Yingying let out a snort of displeasure.
The continent didn't have a set system of monogamy. As long as a man or woman was outstanding enough, it wasn't strange for them to have multiple partners and it was even a common thing.
Yingying admitted that she was a bit jealous, but she wasn't a stingy person. The main reason she was worried was because of her inferiority.
That's right.
Her inferiority.
This feeling of inferiority didn't just come from Chu Tian's splendor that made her feel normal, it also came from her low innate talent and the strong competitors that came. Elder sister, Nangong, and Vivian, each person was so outstanding with strong power, strong innate talents, or high births…..She had a good relationship with them, so she didn't reject them, but there was a sense of danger in her heart. She felt that she was inferior to any one of them.
It was because of this that the lazy and playful Yingying had changed. She did everything to study as much as she can, as well as working hard to invent the canned food, helping with the Space Warehouse and spiritual domain, and doing many other things.
Yingying was different from her elder sister Qingwu, she didn't have dedication or great ambitions, she just wanted to catch up.
"Silly girl, there really is something wrong with your brain. What are you thinking about all of this for?" Chu Tian felt the girl's complicated and conflicted mood and he revealed a faint smile. He used his hand to hold her beautiful cheek, "I like Yingying and that will always be the same, no one can compare to you."
After saying this, he slightly lowered his head and kissed the girl's slender lips.
On the beautiful prairies covered in the dusk sunlight, the two of them tightly held each other.
Chapter 458: Divine swindler
Meng Yingying was stunned for several seconds before her eyes began to mist over. She had no resistance at all as she slowly closed her eyes, as crystal like tears of joy welled up in the corner of her eyes.
It was strange speaking of this.
Meng Yingying never understood things like love before meeting Chu Tian, but since Chu Tian appeared in her life, he almost immediately occupied her heart. This was her first time loving someone, could this be the so called love at first sight? This fellow was clearly bad and always deliberately teased her, but she didn't know why she couldn't cast his shadow away from her life anymore.
No matter what the situation was.
She was very happy and satisfied if she was with Chu Tian.
She always thought of him whether it was while she was eating or even breathing. She felt like there was an invisible thread connected to the other side, connecting them even if they went to the ends of the earth. A single day of not seeing him made her feel incredibly empty.
Meng Yingying's heart was clear that Chu Tian had good feelings for her.
But she never had too much confidence. This time had come too sudden and Yingying didn't know what to do, she didn't know how to react for a while. Forget it, she would go for broke!
"Ke!"
There was a soft cough.
Chen Bingyu appeared on the small hill like a spirit. Although her mask covered her face, her eyes were looking right at them with a complicated strange gaze. She said in a soft voice, "I'm really sorry, I've interrupted you."
Meng Yingying quickly moved away like a frightened rabbit, "Big sister Bingyu, it's isn't like this. This is all his fault….."
Damn!
This silent moving girl, she actually ruined my good thing!
"Can you not be that exaggerated, we're just talking about love and not doing anything bad." Chu Tian casually pulled her back, "Big sister Bing, you came right on time. I've already decided to marry Yingying, shouldn't you congratulate us?"
Chen Bingyu's expression did not change at all, "I offer my sincere congratulations."
Meng Yingying didn't play along and said with her hands on her waist, "Hey, hey, you hoodlum, did I agree? Don't irresponsibly say things like this!"
"What, you still don't agree after all this time?"
"I never said I didn't agree, un, I just feel….I'm still too long, so this is a bit rushed….No, it isn't rushed, only…." Meng Yingying spoke incoherently as her face turned red. Finally she lowered her head and muttered, "You have to pick a proper date and time. It isn't good to be this abrupt, who gets married whenever they want. You really are hateful!"
Chu Tian laughed as he wanted to tease her a bit more.
"I think it's better if you discuss this matter in private." Chen Bingyu already no longer wanted to keep watching, "Luz has already made a bit of progress, he just needs a bit of your time to solve everything."
It was as if Meng Yingying found a hard to find chance to escape, so she immediately grabbed this chance, "What is going on? Isn't Luz spreading the Shaman Religion on the prairies, how can he encounter problems?"
Chen Bingyu replied, "Many large western wandering tribes have collapsed. It is most likely due to them using most of their savings fighting the Southern Summer Country and disease killing most of their livestock. With the collapse of these tribes, there are many refugees that Luz hopes to take in, allowing him to establish his power."
Understood!
The War Hounds Plains were already poor from their internal fighting and adding in the six months of fighting with the Southern Summer Country, so most of the major tribes were already in bitter conditions, with starving people all around. It was because the environment of the War Hounds Tribes were bad that Chu Tian had a chance to seize their land.
There were large amounts of refugees from the collapse of these tribes, wasn't it a good chance for the Shaman Religion to spread their faith onto these people? Luz was hoping that Chu Tian could open Miracle Commerce's Space Warehouse to provide enough food for these refugees.
"We'll go over after we fix ourselves up."
Chu Tian's fame wasn't as bright in a barbaric place like the War Hounds Plains, but Chu Tian and Meng Yingying were humans in the end. The War Hounds had fought with humans for many years, so if they tried to meddle as humans, they would obtain bad results.
After half a day, the three of them found Luz.
The three of them didn't have complicated disguises. They just wore a large robe and wore gloves, not revealing a single part of their body. Finally they used a potion to change their human scent.
Luz respectfully cupped his hands to Chu Tian, "Sir City Lord!"
Chu Tian sized up the situation.
Luz led the Shaman priests and there were several forest chiefs keeping order.
There were around forty-fifty thousand refugees gathered, which was enough to form a middle sized or a large tribe on the War Hounds Plains. With the current trend, it seemed like the quantity would still increase. Each one of these people were sick and hungry, looking like a sack of bones. How did they look like fierce predators, they were simply a group of homeless watchdogs.
"The Shaman Religion will guide any lost spirit beasts, now let me see the pain you are suffering from."
Chu Tian's hoarse voice came from a voice changing technique. He first acted like a divine swindler in front of these War Hounds refugees filled with hope, using very skilled spirit beast language to say these comforting words before helping them look over their bodies.
Other than being sick, there were many people with serious illnesses.
This was a very malignant parasitic disease. Once the parasites entered the host body, they would wildly multiply. They would first nest in the stomach walls before invading the inner visceras. Finally they would enter one's blood veins and wildly sucking away spirit energy before torturing the host to death. This parasite was very contagious and it was hard to escape once one was infected. There was basically no cure within the War Hounds Plains.
They were defeated, starving, and diseased.
These people were truly filled with misfortune!
Chu Tian said a few more words to swindle people into believing the Shaman Religion before leaving to make his preparations.
"What do we do? I can see their illnesses are not light!" Meng Yingying opened her hood and asked this immediately, "We have several warehouses filled with canned food in Central State, I'll immediately send them over."
"No, we won't use the canned food this time." Chu Tian wrote out several formulas and detailed lists, "Send these to the Central State laboratory, have them refine these medicines according to what's written."
Meng Yingying was not skilled in alchemy, but Yingying had grown in the past year, so she knew that these were all cheap materials. However, since Chu Tian didn't say anything, that meant this matter would be easily taken care of. She took out the communication device to contact Central State and have them quickly take care of it.
After three days.
The refugees had doubled and they almost couldn't support them anymore.
Chu Tian brought out ten large beast carriages and each beast carriage was filled with large containers. The Shaman priests let out sighs of relief seeing this. They quickly called out long live the Shaman God, causing the War Hounds refugees to cheer along.
Luz however revealed a puzzled expression.
Why was it ten beast carriages? There were already over a hundred thousand refugees.
Now that the news that the Shaman Religion was bringing salvation to the refugees, perhaps there would be even more refugees coming. Would ten beast carriages be enough to feed all these people? Perhaps it wouldn't even fill the gaps of the teeth of the people present!
"Open!"
These boxes did not contain food as they expected, but they were filled with small bottles of medicine.
"This is the Divine Water passed down by the Shaman God!" Chu Tian began to lie, "This Divine Water will slowly cure your illnesses and it will provide large amounts of food for you!"
This time not only Luz was stunned, everyone had stunned expressions.
The medicine could cure their illnesses, but it could also fill their stomachs?
Chu Tian took out a large copper cauldron covered in runes from his gourd. This cauldron was used by religions for sacrifice ceremonies, so it had a mysterious air around it.
"The Shaman God says that everything can be redeemed in life." Chu Tian said to everyone, "Everyone please gather grass and put it in this cauldron. The divine powers of the Shaman God will turn this foraged grass into food!"
Everyone was stunned. How was this possible!
Luz was filled with doubt, but he couldn't ask him directly. He could only help by saying, "Everyone please do as the envoy says, the Shaman God will not lie to his believers!"
There weren't many other things.
But grass? There was as much grass as one wanted!
The entire cauldron was filled with fresh green grass in less than ten minutes.
Chu Tian activated the source energy array engraved on the cauldron and the cauldron immediately released a wave of energy. All the collected grass seemed like it was thrown into a blender as it was immediately compressed into a half pulp substance.
Chu Tian directly poured a bottle of medicine inside.
Finally an inconceivable matter happened. The half pulp grass quickly changed before turning into dry rations, just like dried grains. It actually released an enticing fragrance.
Peng!
Chu Tian sent a palm at the cauldron.
The dry rations flew out, floating down on the refugees like immortal flowers. These refugees were already filled with hunger and they smelled the enticing fragrance, they wildly rushed forward to catch some. They were already filled with hunger and even if it was poop, as long as they could keep living, they would eat it.
But what was hard to believe was that the dry rations made from grass did not just fill their stomach, it actually tasted not bad. The most important thing was that when they ate these dry rations, they could quickly feel their illnesses becoming better.
"A miracle!"
"Truly a miracle!"
The War Hounds spirit beasts began to kowtow on the grass.
Was this not a miracle? Why would the War Hounds keep attacking Southern Summer, wasn't it for survival! If they could change even the cheapest grass into dry rations, how big of a change would it be for the spirit beasts on the War Hounds Plains!
"You have all already seen it!" Chu Tian shouted, "The Shaman God can turn grass into food, now there is no place there isn't food on the entire War Hounds Plains. Not only can this food solve your hunger, it can also cure the illnesses you have. This is the grace of the great Shaman God, you no longer need to suffer hardships!"
Luz was filled with admiration for Chu Tian.
If they transported several hundred cans of food here, although it would solve the problem, it was not cost effective and it wouldn't have any lasting effects. However, he thought of this unprecedented method of actually turning grass into food. With just a single cauldron, how many followers could they attract for the Shaman Religion?!
This move was just too beautiful!
