"Jie Hu!!!" Jie Feng cried as she approached the battlefield. At this moment, the entire Tiger City vanished from this subjugated part of Seven Star County along with the City Lord and 1.5 Million people.
She hesitates to move forward because the opponent is five Inner Qi Lords against herself. Although her cultivation is just a stage below Jie Hu, it was reinforced by medicinal pills and oddity treasure that was banned from circulation.
This is also the reason why the Jie Clan only have five Inner Qi Lords leading the clan. Jie Hu, the City Lord of Tiger City, Jie Feng, the City Lord of Phoenix City, and Jie Long, the City Lord of Dragon City. The remaining two is the Clan Patriarch of Jie Clan, Jie Qian, and Grand Elder Jie Yun.
With the loss of Jie Hu, the number of Inner Qi Lord remained in the Jie Clan is only the four of them. This is also why Jie Feng hesitates to strike. If she falls, that means the Jie Clan's destruction can be said to be imminent!
"Hall Master, should we attack?" Liang Tian addressed Zhang Wu Ji as Hall Master to follow the proper etiquette in front of so many soldiers. Especially when a third of the soldiers are support from the Mystic Engineer Establishment, which excels in the usage of Celestial Tools.
"No, we should reinforce the land we just took, send another batch of masons to this place to rebuild the city. We'll name this the Li Jing City because Li Jing is the person that landed the last strike on the City Lord Jie Hu." Zhang Wu Ji waved his hand to dismiss their request and gave them another order.
With this instruction, the fifteen Seven Star Tenders started to move. The splits into a team of five, three tenders each, to secure the border claimed by Tiger City. With the Jie Clan situated at the far east of the Jie County, they're not worried about the clan may attack.
Very quickly, one month has passed.
The process of building up the Li Jing City went quickly, although the size of their city is pitiful at the moment. But from a proper City Planning, the rebuilding went on very well, somewhat similar to Li Yuan City at the outer area of Golden Husk City, the capital of Crystalline River County.
Now, Zhang Wu Ji initial plan of establishing a proper track to connect the city together via a trading route started to become much more visible. With the variety of Servant Puppets with Carriage available, the Partial Fighter Qi Weaving Stone become a replaceable commodity that similar to the Disposable Battery in his previous life.
Plus, the Servant Puppet Carriage demand increases because they replaced the Tamed Beast and Carriage Horses as the choice of transport. Seven Star Tender that becomes their first County-Product belonged to the joint construction between Seven Star County and Willow Timber County said to be the new form of Border Control Force.
With the abundance of resources available for them to exploit without worries, Seven Star County becomes the third strongest superpower in Upper South State after Five Flame County controlled by Five-Flavour Flame Sect and Blood Marsh County under Blood Art Sect.
Luckily, Five Flame County is located far west in the Upper South Stage, neighboured by Blood Marsh County and Snow Maiden County. This means that the people from the four counties will have to travel across Heavenly South County to access to Seven Star County and the others.
As for the Black Iron County located above Heavenly South County, they're not taking any action at all. Their standing is questionable, especially when Black Iron Armored Forces is well known as the strongest Vanguard Suppliers to the Southern Imperial Kingdom.
"Huh... I finally reach the 21st Stage of Inner Qi Soldier. Although I only have 5 Strands of Soldier Qi now, my fighting strength allows me to fight people five stages above me at ease." Zhang Wu Ji came out from his month-long seclusion after he is done consolidating his foundation.
"Master, you're out?" Li Jing came to his residence for his daily report.
"En. How is the update of the power surrounding our Seven Star County?" Zhang Wu Ji's first question is related to the safety and threat that may come from their neighboring counties.
"Herb Valley County agreed to pay us by supplies to protect their interest as a neutral bystander. We negotiated for the price of their peaceful request, and it was set at 300 Million Qi Sensing Pills monthly." Li Jing reported the good news first to calm his master.
"And?" Zhang Wu Ji took a seat in his Reception Hall and took a sip of the Mulberry Tea.
"We suspect that Upper South Merchant Corporation is purchasing a large number of Celestial Tools from the Inner Western State. It seems that the Designer Hall in the state greatly support their purchase and even support the transaction with their personal mercenary team to deliver the goods."
"Our question is, why would the Designer Hall in the Inner Western State support them so much, especially when they're having the same trouble like us, an internal war in their own state." Li Jing reported the news with his own thinking.
"How is our progress ongoing?" Zhang Wu Ji narrowed his brows together as he already can guess the reason for such a report.
Most probably, the Upper South Merchant Corporation strike a deal with the Designer Hall in their agreement of payment. If the corporation willing to surrender to the Designer Hall jurisdiction, won't this benefits the Designer Hall?
"There must be something else..." Zhang Wu Ji was unwilling to put all his hypothesis in one target and try to think about this matter deeper. He started to think about the possibility of a two-pronged attack and even a three-pronged attack, and soon came out with an answer.
"I would rather guess incorrectly than failed to prepare for it. As a librarian in my past, this kind of planning is nothing abnormal, especially when the Upper South Merchant Corporation leader is all businessmen."
"They might be colluding with either Five-Flavour Flame Sect, Blood Art Sect, Jie's Clan, or all of them to attack our county in three different directions. With my forces is yet to stabilize, a full force attack from three different directions might kill us off if I am unprepared."
"Li Jing!" Zhang Wu Ji guess worries him and immediately think of a defensive plan. Although he's not a war tactician, his experience and knowledge from his previous life, armed by ten thousand episodes and thousand reading books are not something to be underestimated.
"Yes, master." Li Jing bowed at Zhang Wu Ji with his mind concentrating at the next word that will come out.
"Split our Seven Star Tenders into three parts. One will guard the entrance from Heavenly South County, one at Li Yuan City facing Golden Husk City, and lastly, one will be positioned in between Crystalline River County and Jie County." Zhang Wu Ji ordered.
"Master, if we arrange our soldier like this, our chances to win the war against Golden Husk City might fail." Li Jing hesitates but chooses to question his master's sudden change of plan.
"Li Jing, do you remember how Jie Hu died?" Zhang Wu Ji used the best example to describes his worry.
"Master, you mean that we're going to be taken down like Jie Hu if we're not preparing ourselves adequately?" Li Jing is a cultivator with plenty of experiences, making everything easier.
"Yes. Heavenly South County is not taking any action, and Black Iron County is even secretive about this internal struggle. What I am worried is that the Heavenly Sword Sect has already taken down from the inside."
"Unless we're confident that my brother will protect my interest, I will not let my back unguarded toward the five counties. I will lead the attack on Golden Husk City personally, and you three brothers will take care of the Li Jing City zone."
"Direct my order to the troops, that Grand Elder Liang Tian will take over the position of Acting Commander for the rear guards! I will only take Yang Yi with me to the battlefield." Zhang Wu Ji allowed Li Jing to deliver his instructions to the others while he prepares himself.
The one-month seclusion further not only his cultivation but also his strength hidden behind the System Realm. With Sheng taking over his duties and promises that he will double the payment to support the realm, Sheng gladly replaces him in many matters.
Now, the family of Silver-Coin Panthers already grown up to the stage they can be called as juvenile panthers, while the female Jadehorn Fire Bull just gave birth to a baby calf. As for the two Obsidian Serpent Warriors, they grew up into Obsidian Serpent Soldiers, after being fed with nutritious Warrior Qi Nectar Grains on a daily basis.
As for the two Scarlet Berserker Crows, they both sacrifice to give birth to a total of four eggs, which expected to hatch after half a year of waiting. From what Zhang Wu Ji was told, this is how Scarlet Berserker Crows breeds.
Each and every pair of Scarlet Berserker Crows will lay four eggs in their lifetime before they passed away from exhaustion. Depending on their luck and fate, the hatched egg from the incubation will start to look for its soulmate before growing to adulthood together.
But that's if the Scarlet Berserker Crows are in the wild. Under his protection and Sheng, Zhang Wu Ji is dead sure that the four eggs will hatch healthily and grow up from this place. His aim wasn't to expand the number of Scarlet Berserker Crows but to aim for their Soldier Tier generation.
Bloodsun Berserker Crow, a 25th Stage Inner Qi Soldier from its birth. If Zhang Wu Ji luck is good enough to grant him this wish, the effort to win this war will worth everything he gave until now.
As for the Silver Carapace Queen, her transformation is on its way.
This transformation effort will determine her future path if her evolution is successful. Because insect grew from the number of the molting process they went through, their fighting ability cannot be underestimated.
Golden Carapace Bees in their Soldier Tier strength are capable of fighting against their enemies until they're completely destroyed. It was said that if a Golden Carapace Bee is not cut into more than eight parts, they can regenerate their body and limbs to continue their attack forever.
If they're found in the wild, even cultivators in their Master and Grandmaster Tier strength will try to avoid fighting them. This grants them a nickname that was well known throughout the entire Ping An Continent.
Relentless Hunter Swarm.
But the best thing that happened in his System Realm is not the strengthening of his Tamed Beast but on the plants. Unknown of the source and reason, Sheng reported to him that the Sun Swallowing Fruit Tree has linked with each another to form a new variant of this plant.
Zhang Wu Ji steps closer to the tree that no longer behaves like a plant should do and tried to inspect it. But the moment he's just three steps away from its trunk, something happened right in front of them.
Vines extend from all over the plant towards where the Silver Carapace Bees is harvesting the nectars from the flower field spanned far from the nest. At least a hundred of the Silver Carapace Bees is captured by the vines before it retracted back to the tree and was absorbed and turned into a part of the tree.
Very soon, the leaves on top of the tree withered and more vines extended from the tree to capture more Silver Carapace Bees. As the nest now hold more than 5,000 Silver Carapace Bees, Zhang Wu Ji is not bothered by the losses of a hundred or two.
But the tree did not stop until it assimilated with a thousand of them. Next, the branches and trunks started to wither with layers of its body falling down like decayed paper.
When the withering is completed, a four-legged creature with a [Tao] is revealed to him, incubating inside for a moment more before it opened its eyes.
