Chapter 142 - 142 Zhou Zhou's Plan! Attack The Thorn Dune!
142 Zhou Zhou’s Plan! Attack The Thorn Dune!
The army led by Zhou Zhou was currently advancing on one of the eight trade routes that Elder Zheng had mentioned.
Zhou Zhou was sitting in a carriage with Elder Qian and observed the situation outside.
He realized that the terrain was really very flat compared to other places, as Elder Zheng said.
There was no need for repairs to allow pedestrians and carriages to move normally on the road.
He retracted his gaze and waved his right hand. A heavy box appeared in front of Elder Qian.
“Elder Qian.”
“There are 1,000 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores inside.”
“They can be used as funding for your work after you take over. You can just use them to perfect the development of Sand Gold City.”
“Also, there’s some wealth there which you can also use freely.”
“If it’s not enough, you can apply to Blazing Sun City at any time.”
Zhou Zhou said.
The Sand Gold City had yet to become a true commercial city.
He had to spend some money in the early stages if he wanted to do this.
That was why he took out so many Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores.
Honestly, so many Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores was not a small sum even for him.
“Don’t worry, my Lord.”
“It’s enough for me with so many Mist Cores.”
“If I do need more Mist Cores…”
“I’ll just establish the taxes of the Sand Gold City to develop the city when the time comes.”
“As for the specific income and expenditure, I will hand it over to the Lord every month.”
Qian Jiangsheng said confidently.
As a former Kingdom-level finance minister, he had done similar things before he climbed to that position. He had even experienced more difficult environments and handled them very well.
Therefore, he was still confident.
“Don’t worry, Elder Qian.”
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he looked in the direction of the Sand Gold City and thought about his future development.
In his plan, Sand Gold City would be the first image that Blazing Sun City had established to the outside world. It would appear in the vision of the living beings of the High Continent.
Blazing Sun City itself remained in a closed-off state.
Only Subjects were allowed to enter and leave.
No large-scale outsiders were allowed to enter!
They could let one or two outsiders in if they were without any ill intentions.
For example, the Princess from the Aurora Kingdom, who would arrive at some point in time.
Blazing Sun City was his base camp after all.
There would be many of his secrets here in the future with the Mythical-Tier talent of the King of Loots.
The Subjects were loyal to him.
He could let them come into contact with some secrets without worry.
But outsiders?
He would not let them come into contact with any secrets!
This might attract the guesses of the life forms outside, but in a dangerous place like the High Continent, Zhou Zhou felt that there was nothing wrong with being more mysterious.
An hour later, Zhou Zhou and the others arrived at Sand Gold City more than half an hour in advance with the advantage of the trade route.
…
Sand Gold City.
In the Lord’s Courtyard.
“Greetings, my Lord!”
Zhang Kaishan and his brother said respectfully.
Zhou Zhou nodded. After a few simple words, he introduced Qian Jiangsheng to them.
“This is Qian Jiangsheng, Elder Qian.”
“He was the former finance minister of the Aurora Kingdom.”
“He will be in charge of Sand Gold City. The two of you will focus on listening to Elder Qian and develop Sand Gold City well.”
“Do you understand?”
He said.
“Yes, my Lord!”
The two of them said respectfully.
Then, they couldn’t help but look at Qian Jiangsheng.
They have heard about his reputation since they were young.
If they were to rank the people who had contributed to the development of the Aurora Kingdom in the past 50 years this person could definitely enter the top five!
They did not expect their Lord to be able to invite this big shot over.
Zhang Kaishan and his brother were completely convinced.
However, their expressions soon became strange.
They remembered that the previous Great General of the Aurora Kingdom, Wu Xin, and one of the three previous prime ministers, Zheng Yuanqi, were also in Blazing Sun City and were holding extremely important positions.
Our Lord seems to be very good at poaching talents?
The two of them muttered in their hearts.
Zhou Zhou naturally did not know what the two of them were thinking.
After chatting with the three of them about the development of Sand Gold City and the business path, he left to look for Bai Yi and Wu Xin.
…
In the tent of the military camp.
After Zhou Zhou saw Bai Yi and Wu Xin, he told them about his plan to take down Thorn Dune today and handed them a copy of the regional map.
After watching for a while, the two of them told Zhou Zhou the judgment that they could attack.
Zhou Zhou was not surprised.
With his current strength, he had a high chance of winning even if it was a Green Bronze-Tier area.
Not to mention a mere Black Iron-Tier area.
“I’ve something to say, my Lord.”
Just as Zhou Zhou and Wu Xin were about to take action, Bai Yi gritted her teeth and suddenly said.
“What is it?”
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
Wu Xin also stopped.
“I want to give the position of Legion Commander of the Blazing Sun Army to Elder Wu!”
“My Lord, please approve!” Bai Yi lowered her head and said.
The two of them were stunned as soon as these words were spoken.
“Why do you say that?”
Zhou Zhou frowned.
“My Lord.”
“Elder Wu is far better than me, in terms of strength, experience and confidence in the army!”
“I feel that I’m far inferior to Old Wu in terms of leading troops in battle.”
“Continuing to be in the position of Legion Commander will only make me feel more inferior.”
“In addition, this is also irresponsible to the other brothers and sisters in the army.”
“That’s why I made such a request to my Lord.”
Bai Yi said sincerely.
“Elder Wu, what do you think?”
Zhou Zhou could understand her thoughts.
However, he did not voice his thoughts. Instead, he looked at Wu Xin.
“I think Legion Commander Bai should continue.”
“I’ll just be a Deputy Commander.”
Wu Xin chuckled.
“Why?”
“With your ability, you can definitely have a better position and lead the Blazing Sun Army to a more glorious future.”
Bai Yi couldn’t help but ask.
“I’ve only led soldiers for 50 more years than you.”
“When I was your age, I didn’t even get to see a hero.”
“And you’re a hero before you were 20.”
“Don’t think you’re not good enough.”
“If you’re not outstanding…”
“What will the other people think?”
“Moreover, I’m already old. My future Achievement is destined to be limited.”
“You’re young and you became a hero at such a young age.”
“You’re the one who can truly bring the Blazing Sun Army to greater heights as a Legion Commander!”
“Furthermore, the position of Legion Commander can also train you and allow you to grow faster.”
“I don’t want to steal your glory.”
Wu Xin said seriously.
Bai Yi was speechless.
What a powerful talker.
Zhou Zhou, who was already convinced, could not help but think.
“As for the abilities you don’t know yet. I can teach you if you want to learn.” Wu Xin smiled at Bai Yi.
Bai Yi did not react for a moment.
“Aren’t you going to address him as your teacher?”
Zhou Zhou reminded.
Only then did Bai Yi react and immediately bowed respectfully to Wu Xin.
When Wu Xin saw this, he immediately felt extremely comfortable.
I’m a hero now and I have a disciple who is a hero but not even 20 years old yet!
This Achievement is probably second to none in the history of human heroes, right?
He had to tell Old Zheng when he got back.
This old fellow usually flaunted how many disciples he had and how outstanding they were.
Now, this disciple of mine is equivalent to a hundred of them!
No!
At least a thousand!
Let’s see how he refutes this time?
Wu Xin had already thought of how to show off in front of Zheng Yuanqi.
“Elder Wu.”
“The Aurora Kingdom’s imperial physician, Elder Bai Yuejing, also came to Blazing Sun City today and became a Subject of Blazing Sun City.”
“Can he treat your injuries?”
Zhou Zhou asked his own questions seeing that this episode had passed.
“Old Bai is here too.”
Wu Xin said subconsciously.
He shook his head.
“I’m an old acquaintance with Old Bai.”
“However, Old Bai can only ease my injuries and make me feel better when my injuries relapse.”
it’s impossible to heal.”
“My injuries can only be healed by Legendary-Tier Doctor Professionals or Physician Heroes.”
“Those below this level can’t do anything to my injuries.”
Wu Xin said.
“How did you get these injuries?”
Zhou Zhou could not help but ask.
“It was caused by a Scarlet Hero from the Tahan Kingdom.” Wu Xin said.
Zhou Zhou stopped probing.
…
15 minutes later, a total of 10,000 soldiers had gathered at the entrance of Sand Gold City.
“His Lordship will definitely win today’s battle!”
Zhang Kaishan shouted from the city wall.
The other soldiers stationed in Sand Gold City also roared and cheered.
Zhou Zhou smiled.
Then, he set off with the soldiers.
At the same time…
Thorn Dune.
The territory of the human Lord of Cerulean Planet, the Thorn Lord.
Thorn Lord Zhang Youde was sitting on a recliner, watching the chat in the Sun Extermination Association chat group.
He would write some words to encourage the other Lords in the Sun Extermination Association to gather and eliminate the Lord of The Blazing Sun from time to time.
As for these comments…
When the other Lords in the Sun Extermination Association saw this, they either pretended not to see it or comforted him.
[Thorn Lord, don’t worry. Tomorrow is the Myriad Races Lord Battlefield’s event. Why would the Lord of The Blazing Sun come out to find the enemy to exhaust his troops?]
[That’s right, Old Zhang. Don’t worry. You’re very safe.]
[What are you afraid of? When the Myriad Races Lord Battlefield begins, we will definitely help you eliminate the Lord of The Blazing Sun.]
…
After reading it, Zhang Youde immediately closed the chat group indignantly.
“Talk is cheap!”
“You’re not the closest to the Lord of The Blazing Sun’s territory!”
“We agreed to help each other when I established the Sun Extermination Association. In the end, no one was willing to help me now after knowing that I was the closest to the Lord of The Blazing Sun’s territory.”
Zhang Youde opened the group chat again and wanted to leave.
However, he looked at the option of leaving the group chat and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he did not press it.
After a long time, he closed the group chat screen in front of him and let out a long sigh.
“I hope the Lord of The Blazing Sun really won’t come.”
Three hours later.
“I’ve something to report, my Lord!”
“There’s an unfamiliar army outside. They’ve already surrounded Thorn City!”
“There are about ten thousand of them. The leader claims to be the Lord of The Blazing Sun.”
“My Lord!”
“What should we do?”
A scout rushed to Zhang Youde, who was sleeping on the recliner, and said in a panic.
Zhang Youde, who was originally sleepy, immediately sat up when he heard this. He widened his eyes and looked at the scout in front of him.
“What!?”
