"Senior Di Lin said that he would establish a defensive alliance with the Chen Kingdom, and if necessary, he could even send troops from the Thousand Illusions Demon Realm to help us. He would also send two Void God Realm to assist us in the Wilderness at other times."
Chen Haoran answered, then thought for a moment before continuing.
"However! As far as I know, the Demon Emperor of the Thousand Illusions Demon Realm has not made a statement; he can only speak for himself."
Upon hearing Chen Haoran's words, Chen Mu could only manage a cold laugh.
"Heh! He certainly has a big appetite."
If the Thousand Illusions Demon Emperor makes a statement, Chen Mu can accept that Di Lin takes 30% of the mineral resource revenue.
But Di Lin was merely a general under the Thousand Illusions Demon Emperor, and he himself was only at the Late Void God Realm. How many troops could he possibly have? At most, they would be about the same as those of the Sword-Questioning Sect.
Given the current strength of the Chen Kingdom, they really don't care about this number of troops.
"How about this? If he comes again, we can agree to give him 10%, that's our bottom line."
No matter how much Wilderness land there is, it will only be useful if it can be defended. Chen Mu wants to deal with the chaos caused by the ferocious beasts within the Chen Kingdom, which will take at least a few years, so he is not in a hurry and lets Di Lin think about it slowly.
As for Di Lin's desire for control over the Wilderness Demon Race, it's a very abstract concept. The Demon Race is inherently free-spirited and doesn't accept rules and regulations. The so-called control is actually just the right to recruit high-ranking Demon Race members.
Even if Chen Kingdom retained this recruitment right, it wouldn't bring much benefit, because the Wilderness beasts would never trust Chen Kingdom, which was dominated by the Human Clan, and Chen Mu had no desire to manage those unruly Demon Race.
Therefore, if we prohibit Di Lin from recruiting subordinates in the Wilderness, those high-level Demon Race might actually become a hidden danger for the Chen Kingdom. It would be better to continue to let Di Lin have them, which would be a win-win situation.
"Okay! I'll head back then. The rest is up to you."
Chen Haoran nodded, then vanished into the void and left.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers and a small number of Talisman Puppet robots emerged from the gates of Black Tiger City. Under the command of several high-level cultivators, they were carefully cutting up the corpses of dead ferocious beasts.
These ancient ferocious beasts from the Kunlun Heaven Realm are treasures from head to toe. Although Chen Haoran killed these beasts, the precious parts he dug up had to be handed over to the Chen Kingdom's treasury.
However, since the flesh and blood of those ferocious beasts were inconvenient to preserve, the Chen Kingdom government entrusted the city lord with the responsibility of distributing them to the soldiers guarding the city according to their contributions.
With so many ferocious beast corpses, even with a large number of soldiers defending the city, each person would probably get a considerable share.
Before long, the strength of these soldiers will be greatly enhanced, and Black Tiger City will naturally be able to withstand more attacks from ferocious beasts in the future.
"Martial artists these days are no different from ordinary people from before!"
Looking down at the busy humans, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
Although he has been using his Primordial Spirit clone to assist in handling the affairs of the Chen Kingdom for the past two years, the feeling of perceiving things through the Primordial Spirit clone is different from perceiving things with the naked eye.
After the collapse of the Kunlun Heaven Realm, he had virtually no contact with humans below the Core Formation Realm.
It was only at this time that he noticed the enormous changes taking place in ordinary people.
Due to the change in the mass of the plane, all matter on the Pan Emperor Continent has now increased in both density and strength; even the particles in the air have become heavier.
This has resulted in a situation where a stone that a martial artist could shatter with a single punch in the past can now only leave a small crater, and a martial artist that could leap more than ten feet high in the past can now barely jump three feet high.
It can be said that only by cultivating to the Qi Nourishing Realm can one achieve what a martial artist at the second or third level could do back then.
Nowadays, ordinary people who aren't even martial artists are practically crippled; they'd be out of breath after just a few steps outside and simply couldn't survive.
However, due to the increased Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, most humans can naturally transform into martial artists as long as they get through the initial adaptation period.
Just like in Black Tiger City now, one or two out of ten soldiers are already at the Qi Nourishing Realm, and this proportion is increasing rapidly over time.
"The resilience of life is truly amazing!"
Chen Mu smiled, then his body transformed into blue light and disappeared into the sky.
" Hegemon Cavalry, heed my command!"
For the safety of Demon-Defending City, we must destroy this beast's lair today! Kill!
Demon-Defending City, one of the eighteen super capitals of the Chen Kingdom, is the second largest city in the Chen Kingdom after the imperial capital.
The area surrounding the Demon-Defending City is mostly flat plains, while to the northwest lies a large fortified city for resisting the Abyss Devil Race. As a result, the Hegemon Cavalry, one of the three elite legions of the Chen Kingdom, has been stationed in this city for a long time.
With the Hegemon Cavalry stationed there, the city was naturally impregnable. In fact, they had even had the resources in the past year to clear out the ferocious beasts lurking around the Demon-Defending City.
At this moment, based on the intelligence from the rune satellite, Yin Zhan discovered a ferocious beast's lair about a thousand miles away from the Demon-Defending City.
Yin Zhan then personally led ten thousand Hegemon Cavalry Soldiers to come and prepare to wipe out the ferocious beasts here.
" Peerless Hegemon Spear!"
Ten thousand Hegemon Cavalry simultaneously thrust out their spears, transforming them into a massive spear beam a hundred feet long, which slammed fiercely into the mountain peak in front of them.
" Venomous Dragon Drill!"
Whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The enormous spearhead began to spin, like a drilling machine, and moments later, it ripped a huge hole in the mountain peak.
"Roar~~!"
The ferocious beasts hiding inside the mountain roared and charged out from all directions.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that the ferocious beast had been frightened out, Yin Zhan quickly led the Hegemon Cavalry to a flat area to facilitate the charge.
Although the Hegemon Cavalry can now march through the air, Hegemon Cavalry strongest tactics are more effective on the ground. When facing a powerful enemy, they naturally need to make the most of their advantages.
"Oh no! God Level ferocious beast has appeared!"
Suddenly, a ferocious beast resembling a jackal, but with only one eye on its head and a cry like that of a wildcat, flew out and pounced on the Hegemon Cavalry.
"Don't panic, Hegemon Shield!"
Yin Zhan reacted swiftly, immediately guiding the legion's warriors to unleash their combat skills and fend off the attacks of the jackal-like beasts.
With a clang!
The attacks of the jackals and ferocious beasts were blocked by the battle formation, and Yin Zhan did not seem to be under much pressure.
Seeing this, the soldiers felt reassured and, together with Yin Zhan, began their charge, engaging the ferocious beasts in a fierce battle.
"Within a quarter of an hour, the gods of the Chen Kingdom will surely come to our aid. Hold on, everyone!"
There are nearly a hundred ferocious beasts here, led by a God Level beast. If it had been a few months earlier, these ten thousand Hegemon Cavalry would not have been able to deal with them so easily.
But things are different now, largely due to Yin Zhan's advancement to the Demigod Realm.
