I created the monster sequence!

Principal Xingkong withdrew his troops.

But they did not withdraw far, but built a city outside the border of Solon.

Seeing this, the insects could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Golden King intervened this time, otherwise the building would collapse.

He is now rooted here and he will definitely not be able to run away.

The crown can only be given to followers. Life forms like insects and beasts, which have wisdom but not much, cannot wear the crown.

And the standard for judging this wisdom is to reach the average level of humans.

However, this time the Golden King met with Principal Xingkong, which was also a risky move.

Because if Principal Xingkong was a scumbag who could not explain the reason and insisted on killing the insects, then the Golden King would be in danger.

His current information has been exposed. He is in the southern area behind the insects.

Once the insects die, the lips and teeth will be cold, and he will be the next one.

Fortunately, the cooperation was negotiated this time.

The Golden King asked the caravan to set off from Solon to the fertile land of Angras, which is the royal city of the Star Empire.

He built roads and drew maps along the way, preparing to open up trade routes between the three civilizations, which was very important to him.

The ability he could use in this game was the gold treasure house.

But his original assets were frozen, and now he needed to accumulate assets again.

And because the civilization of this world was too backward, the value of items could only be determined by their own value.

That is, the value of an object was judged according to the energy contained in it.

Scarcity makes things valuable, and those valuables with high energy are often very rare, such as ores.

So it is necessary to establish a monetary system first and give the currency a value beyond itself.

For example, a gold coin is essentially just a few grams of gold, and its value is limited.

But if it is defined as currency and everyone recognizes that it has a higher value, then its value will be increased.

However, you cannot arbitrarily define a high value, because the King of Gold has tried some things on Earth.

Set up a sky-high glass craft, but no one can buy it, no one wants to buy it, and no one recognizes its value.

Later, the King of Gold found someone to buy this glass craft, but it still didn't work.

Taking this as a lesson, the King of Gold will not tamper with the currency, let alone in this period, which will cause currency inflation or depreciation if not careful.

"Finance is linked to credit. If fairness and credit cannot be maintained, the financial and monetary system will be a joke."

"Businessmen must know that the real decision to success or failure is often some small places."

"Just like a thousand-mile embankment, it is destroyed by an ant hole."

...

Five years later.

Star Empire, the seventh year and fourth month of the unified calendar.

Five years of fighting in the south and the north have allowed the empire's territory to expand year by year, and the insect country can only become a vassal state and develop very slowly.

Because they only occupy Solon.

In the end, Principal Xingkong is still worried, and directly surrounded the north and east of Solon, restricting the development of insects.

The insects can only develop to the western mountains, and the south is adjacent to the territory of the King of Gold.

And from the territory of the King of Gold through Solon to the capital of the Star Empire, there is a very wide road.

This road runs through three countries and is called the Golden Road.

All the merchants used this route to travel, achieving unprecedented prosperity.

However, Principal Xingkong's purpose did not change, but he changed the direction and began to send troops to the northwest.

The Lion Eagle Knight Remod galloped all the way, heading west in a straight line, and finally found a civilization in the west.

But to be more precise, it was just a city.

Remod rode a black horse on the cliff and looked at the city in the distance. In front of him was a large rift valley. If he wanted to reach the distant city, he had to go around it.

"Sir, what should we do?"

Remod's eyes turned, "Go around and attack the city."

"This... don't you go back and notify..."

"No need."

"It's just a small city. If we delay the military opportunity and let the enemy see through us, can you bear this responsibility?"

The soldier lowered his head, "I dare not."

Remod pulled the reins, "All the army listen to the order, march from the north through the rift valley, and attack the city in three days!"

...

Two days later, Remod and others bypassed the rift valley and set up camp in a forest.

Since the trade route was opened, all the things they lacked have been made up.

From silk cloth to tents, clothes, cloth, salt, wine, pepper, and other resources are available.

But the star followers can't eat these foods, nor do they need to eat them.

On the contrary, the noble priests in the royal city all maintain human postures and enjoy fine wine and food.

Those people seem to have given the opportunity to ascend to the army, but in fact they are just attached to the feelings of humans.

After ascending, they will lose their sense of taste, smell, pain, and many other senses.

Once they have tasted food and wine, they will be reluctant to let them go.

Unless these people are about to die of old age, they are unwilling to accept ascension.

In the tent, Remod looked at the wine glass in front of him and changed the armor shape directly, and drank the wine.

But he couldn't feel anything, except that the wine was decomposed into energy.

There was no taste, he didn't know what was good about it.

But looking at the humans in the military tents, all of them had red faces, smiles on their lips, and they were hugging each other's shoulders and singing loudly.

The ascenders all lowered their heads and silently looked at the wine in the cup in front of them.

Seeing this, Remod stood up and said, "We are deprived of the right to enjoy all this. This is the price of gaining power."

"But are you willing?"

Everyone was silent, and Remod continued, "I am not willing. Why do we fight everywhere outside, but we don't even have the right to enjoy life?"

"This attitude brings us eternal life and allows us to survive."

"However, survival is not completely different from life. The crisis of survival has long been far away from us, and we have become prisoners under armor without knowing it."

"We are not qualified to enjoy. We are tools of war and the sword of the empire."

"We have paid a lot. If we can't enjoy life, we should have higher power and status as compensation!"

Hearing Remod's words, a group of star families stood up one after another.

Their emotions were aroused, but it was meaningless. They could never become human again.

All they can pursue is greater power and higher status!

And Remod has said this more than once.

They are all dissatisfied with the current situation.

"We opened up the empire's territory and created its prosperity. We are the greatest contributors to the empire!"

"We should enjoy the corresponding status and power, so that we can repay our contributions to the empire!"

"Isn't this as it should be?!"
