Infrastructure Throne

Gunpowder smoke was everywhere on the battlefield, and the mist and smoke mixed with the smell of mud and blood drifted with the strong wind.

The sunlight occupying the mid-heaven is like a blade, splitting the dark clouds from the middle, and the light and darkness are clearly separated between the two super tribes.

The Silver Lion Ancestral Demon and the Flying Luan Ancestral Demon were equal in strength, and neither of them could completely gain the upper hand. Both were wounded, panting and took two steps back.

The already unstable alliance was officially declared broken, and the remnant soldiers calmly retreated to the rear of the human race.

The sound of fighting on the grassland gradually subsided, the two tribes and the human army confronted each other, the silver lion ancestor demon hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and slowly approached Shen Qingze's direction.

The nerves of the human army were highly tense, and the whole army was on standby, with their black barrels and artillery all aimed at this behemoth.

Shen Qingze touched the restless Ah Bai, and looked at it encouragingly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ah Bai let out a low cry, arched the opponent with his furry paws, walked out of the human race's position three times at a step, and raised his head tentatively towards the Silver Lion Ancestral Demon.

The ancestor demon's two huge heads were lowered at the same time, rubbing against A Bai lightly on the left and right, and purring with joy continuously from his throat. Compared with the ancestor demon, A Bai's body was like an adult and a ten-year-old child.

Shen Qingze silently followed behind A Bai, this beloved pet who had followed him since the beginning of time travel, now he could no longer see its original appearance, only the cheerful wagging tail was exactly the same as before.

Unexpectedly, the cub left by the ancestor demon many years ago would end up in the hands of the human race in Yuanliu City!

The silver lion ancestor demon is hermaphrodite and can give birth to blood on its own, but the chance of success becomes smaller and smaller as the ancestor demon ages, and it has only successfully given birth once in the past hundred years.

The ancestral demon was weak after giving birth and fell into a deep sleep. Unexpectedly, after waking up, it found that the cub was missing. When the super tribes in the Grand Canyon were in turmoil, incidents of plundering cubs and slaves often occurred. The silver lion ancestor demon searched all over the Grand Canyon. I had no choice but to give up. I never expected to reunite with the cub in this situation after a few years!

There was a commotion from the orcs of the Silver Lion Tribe, and the Silver Lion Jiwu sat on the shoulders of a small hill-like orc, came to Shen Qingze, and bowed slightly to signal him: "Your Excellency, the Human Race Witch Ji, what has happened now, I think we need to talk."

Shen Qingze lightly stroked You Ji in his palm, and said bluntly: "You are defeated. According to the rules of the Grand Canyon, losers are not qualified to negotiate conditions."

The silver lion choked for a while, the orc showed anger, and was comforted by the witch, it sighed: "The ancestor demon has an order, my family has decided to quit this mess, tell your request."

On the other side, the witch priests of the Feiluan tribe also came in front of them, surrounded by orc warriors.

Before launching this hunt, no one expected that the human race, which had always been looked down upon by orcs, would have such a powerful day.

Mu Qiang is a concept engraved in the bones of the orc tribe in the Grand Canyon. The absolute strength displayed by Yuanliu City, the Feiluan clan had to bow their heads for it. They had a lot of respect in the face of Shen Qingze, but stabbed him in the back. The Silver Lion Clan doesn't even have the slightest bit of good looks.

Shen Qingze got straight to the point: "Bounded by the north bank of the Chiyuan River to the edge of the Grand Canyon, within a radius of [-] kilometers, from now on, it will become a permanent neutral area under the jurisdiction of Yuanliu City. The Tengshe tribe migrated to the neutral area , other tribes must not interfere, and other tribes can also move into the neutral zone with the permission of Yuanliu City."

The witch priests of the two tribes were taken aback at the same time, what "permanent neutral zone"?Isn't that just cutting land?They have lived for dozens of years, and they have only heard that the orcs have occupied the territory of the human race. They have never seen the human race forcibly cutting away the orc's territory!

Shen Qingze's words are not over yet: "All the human slaves in your tribe must be released, and all the orc warriors who participated in besieging me today must work in the permanent neutral zone for three years unconditionally. Compensation for the losses suffered by the city, such as the dominoes and furs of the Silver Lion tribe, and the feathers of the Feiluan tribe.”

With such a long list of requirements, the witch priests on both sides couldn't help but vomit old blood in their hearts. Don't you human race claim to be civilized?It sounds nice, but it's not about cede land and indemnity to ask for slaves!Fortunately, it only takes three years, which is barely acceptable.

Thinking for a while, Silver Lion Jisha showed embarrassment: "Your Excellency, Human Race Jiwu, even if our two tribes agree to the permanent neutral zone, other tribes may not be willing to abide by it."

"It's okay." Agni's horseshoe stopped behind Shen Qingze, Yan Zui dismounted and came to Shen Qingze's side.

In his hand was a delicate short-barreled pistol, which reflected the cold metallic luster under the sunlight. The orcs were fed up with the suffering of this thing, and took two steps back vigilantly.

Yan Zui squinted his eyes and smiled speciously: "You two only need to be responsible for informing the other tribes in the Grand Canyon of the rules of our Yuanliu City. Whether other tribes abide by it or not, the result will be the same."

The witch priests were silent for a moment, recalling the scene of doomsday when the cannonballs were raging just now, they could only pinch their noses to recognize it.

Shen Qingze didn't have much time to delay in negotiations, he had to take the antidote and set off back to Yuanliu City immediately.

The silver lion sacrifice witch turned to look at the ancestor demon and the cub with a serious face: "The ancestor demon of my clan hopes that the cub will return to the clan. This is the only pure blood of the ancestor demon currently living in the world."

Shen Qingze secretly sighed in his heart, the one who should come will come sooner or later: "This needs to be decided by Ah Bai himself."

He silently watched A-Bai's back. Although he was restrained by the pet system, he could still order A-Bai to return to him, but he really couldn't do the thing of forcing his pet to separate from his relatives.

The tips of Ah Bai's pricked ears moved, as if sensing the sigh of its master, it barked a few times at the Silver Lion Ancestral Demon, then ran back towards its master wagging its tail in joy, squatting down habitually like before .

But it was too high, and Shen Qingze could no longer easily touch the white hair on top of its head.

"Do you want to stay?" Shen Qingze gently stroked the other's furry paws, the duck and duck changed from the form of a fire phoenix back to the size of a colorful peacock, and played with it by pecking at A Bai's tail, but was ruthlessly slapped by the latter.

"Aww~" Ah Bai pressed his head against his master reluctantly, and yelled in a low voice.

Shen Qingze looked at it helplessly: "I see, when you learn to control your own blood and strength, come back to me."

"Aww!" Ah Bai responded briskly, raised his claws and pressed the duck with his unhappy face on the grass, and rubbed it back and forth as a temporary farewell.

"Chirp!" Yaya ran back behind Shen Qingze angrily, she had obviously evolved into a fire phoenix, why is she still at the bottom of the food chain?

Yan Zui sent people to clean up the battlefield, and ordered Yuanliu City's army to reorganize. The mighty army returned the same way, passing other orc tribes along the way, and no one who didn't have eyesight dared to provoke them.

The news that the human army defeated the two super tribes spread wildly in the Grand Canyon as they left. The super tribes came out in full force, and even the ancestor monsters came in person, but in exchange for the result of "cede land and pay compensation", I was shocked. The jaws of countless orcs.

The "Permanent Neutral Zone" that Shen Qingze moved away is even more embarrassing for the major tribes.

Originally, Yuanliu City's power was only limited to the south bank of the Chiyuan River. Fortunately, the virgin land on the north bank, which had never been exploited by anyone, also became their territory, even reaching the edge of the Grand Canyon.

Even the warriors of the Yinshi and Feiluan tribes have become the coolies of each other, who dares to stroke the tiger's beard in other small and medium tribes?

Shen Qingze fulfilled his promise to let the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Teng Snake clan settle in the neutral zone. Except for the Silver Lion Feiluan, there were also slaves from other small tribes who had been enslaved by the Teng Snake clan. Now everyone has become the slaves of Yuanliu City "coolie".

Thanks to Shen Qingze, the large, medium and small tribes in the Grand Canyon have achieved "equality" in identity for the first time in the neutral zone, which is a miracle that has never been seen in the Grand Canyon.

The "coolies" who migrated, under the request of Yuanliu City, in addition to reclaiming the primitive land and forests on the north bank of the Chiyuan River, more of them started their old profession of animal herding and hunting.

The fur fabrics and exotic flowers and plants produced can be given to Yuanliu City in exchange for enough food to fill the stomach.

There is no need to plunder, no need to rob, and honest work can fill the stomach. All ethnic groups live together in the neutral area. Under the high pressure of the artillery fire in Abyss City, a delicate balance and tranquility have been formed. The former wild wolf has gradually become a captive. dog.

A nearby small tribe that was bullied by the big tribe began to ask around how to join the neutral zone.

Instead of being the bottom of the Grand Canyon and being enslaved by the strong at any time, it is better to simply fall to the human race. Anyway, Yuanliu City has proved its strength now, and it is not shameful to seek refuge with the strong.

※※※

Only one garrison was left on the north bank of the Chiyuan River to supervise the prisoners to build a neutral zone. Shen Qingze and Yan Zui led the large troops to cross the Chiyuan River without stopping. When they landed at the pier, they unexpectedly encountered An old acquaintance.

"Master Shen, City Lord Yan."

Tia's dirty blond hair was dull, and she curled up in the arms of the same dusty Black Hawk, covering her mouth and coughing, reluctantly bowing to the two, showing a weak smile.

Tia, the once prominent lord of the Pearl City, now looks in a terrible state, her clothes and shoes are covered with mud and blood, and there are not even a few guards left around her.

Tia and Heiying fled to the boat and went down the river before the complete fall of Mingzhu City, hoping to seek the protection of Abyss City. Unexpectedly, there was a poisoned person hidden in the fleet. The cabin where Tia was in had to be cleaned up after a lot of chaos.

The two finally came to Yuanliu City, but Yan Zui had already led the army to the Grand Canyon. Tia couldn't believe this extremely arrogant move.

When the two learned that instead of being buried in the Grand Canyon, the army of Yuanliu City had defeated the three super tribes one after another, and that even the Teng Snake Clan, the chief culprit of all this, had become their "slaves". right.

After Shen Qingze handed over the poison-repelling grass and the snake orc that were brought back to Tag and Sera, the sorcerers who were in charge of refining the antidote, he then turned to look carefully at the fleeing master and servant.

Since seeing Tia here, Pearl City must have been in trouble, Shen Qingze frowned slightly: "You two, long time no see."

Tia imagined countless possibilities on the way here, and even thought about how to persuade Shen Qingze to send troops to help her destroy the snake slaves. The worst plan is to donate a sum of wealth to Yuanliu City every year.

But the two of them never expected that Yuanliu City was so strong that it directly took over the Teng Snake Clan's lair.

Tia is both happy and worried. The happy thing is that with the strength of Yuanliu City, it is easy to wipe out the snake slaves in Mingzhu City. What is worrying is that once Yuanliu City takes action, Mingzhu City may change hands from now on. It's over.

He smiled wryly in his heart, but now he was not thinking about the position of the city lord.

"The situation is urgent, so I'll make a long story short. As early as ten days ago, the poison of the snake broke out in Mingzhu City, and the situation intensified. When we left, the outer city had completely fallen."

Tia paused slightly, and her eyes turned red: "After arriving in Abyss City, we received news that my younger brother Lott survived a catastrophe in the last war, and he actually joined forces with the Teng Snake orcs to do such a crazy thing .”

"Now he has led a group of Teng Snake orcs into Mingzhu City, in order to completely take control of Mingzhu City and enslave everyone who dares to resist him."

"To be honest, we came to Yuanliu City this time to ask Yuanliu City to send troops to help us destroy the snake slaves and kill Luo Te, a traitor of the human race!"

Shen Qingze and Yan Zui looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes, they didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net.

Seeing that the other party has not expressed his opinion for a long time, Tia's heart sank.

During the beast tide in the past, Mingzhu City never extended a helping hand to any city. Instead, it once joined forces with Nanji City and Beiji City to attack Yuanliu City.

It seems natural for Shen Qingze and Yan Zui to sit on the sidelines and watch the Pearl City suffer, maybe they will gloat over others' misfortune. The once invincible Pearl City is still today?

Tia took a deep breath and read the same powerlessness and panic in the black eagle's eyes.

He closed his eyes, and after the fierce battle between heaven and man in his mind, he finally regained his calm.

Tia bent down slowly, and knelt down on one knee under the astonished eyes of everyone: "Pearl City is in danger now, we are really powerless to resist, the Moti family has run Pearl City for generations, I really can't bear to see this splendid city Destroyed once."

"As long as Yuanliu City is willing to take action, I will give up the ruling power on behalf of the Moti family, and I will submit to Yuanliu City from now on, and help Yuanliu City to dominate the Northland!"

[System: The player triggers the main task - the fallen pearl of the Northland.The goal is to eliminate all the snake slaves in Pearl City, pacify the conflict between nobles and commoners, and rebuild the declining Pearl of the Northland. 】

【You have received a request from the lord of the Pearl City who has fled. Under successive blows, the ancient city of Pearl City has completely exposed its weakness from the outside to the inside. Snake venom is raging in the city. The nobles refuse to resist, and the civilians have become victims.You look at the distraught Tia Moti and listen to the other party tell about the sufferings of the people in Mingzhu City. When the once powerful Pearl of the North was lost, you can't help feeling sympathetic. 】

Shen Qingze raised his eyebrows expressionlessly, was he forced to "sympathize" again?

[This is a time-limited task, and the time limit is one week. If the task fails, everyone in Pearl City will become snake slaves and spread to other cities.Players will lose [-]% of their reputation]

[Mission Reward: After completing this mission, the player will have the fourth main city and meet the basic conditions for founding a nation.Simultaneously open the final stage of the technology tree - the steam engine]

Shen Qingze's spirit was lifted, and his expression was solemn: "It's a duty."
