Long Yue struggled to conquer three Primitive Forests, yet Jino didn't offer a single word of praise or comfort, but instead made so cool remarks, blaming himself for attacking the Wildman Forest and driving the wildn into Wildman Valley.
This is outrageous, isn't it?
Long Yue looked at Jino angrily, thinking that if Jino were not his superior, he would have roared in fury.
Jino glanced at Long Yue and said indifferently:
"I know what you're worried about; you fear that the gathering of wildn will form a strong force,
Alas, it's already like this. When you initially decided to attack the Wildman Forest, I had already warned you not to do so, but you wouldn't listen. What's the situation like now?"
Jino spoke with a heavy heart and the appearance of deep regret, causing Long Yue's inner turmoil.
Damn it, I'm busting my ass off, and here you are, making cool remarks?
"Fortunately, Wildman Valley has now submitted to the Great Dragon Empire, and even though there are now about twenty thousand wildn together, their strength is still far too weak, and they don't dare to do anything against us. They need to keep seeking our protection,
Right, they've just opened dozens of new mines, and I heard that four to five thousand wildn are actively mining. Isn't that good, too? The wildn mining by themselves will still end up delivering the Crystal Stone Mines to our Great Dragon Empire, right?"
Jino looked at Long Yue with a smile.
Long Yue felt even more sorrowful, realizing that his actions had inadvertently helped Jino, contributing to his success.
Now, the entire Wildman Valley has beco a powerful assistant for Jino. Partnering with Jino to attack Wildman Valley was almost impossible.
Long Yue sighed deeply, smiled bitterly with embarrassnt, and said:
"It seems that attacking the wildn wasn't entirely without benefits. At least now all the wildn are forced to mine, right?"
"There are pros and cons. At least for the ti being, we can control Wildman Valley, so you don't have to worry too much. What you should really be concerned about is the Snow Leopard Empire, which is close to the borders of the Pegasus Empire.
As I know, after the Pegasus Empire's forces were defeated by the War God, about a thousand of them have been gathering in Snow Leopard Empire territory, ready to seize the opportunity to take back their land. So, be careful and don't bla for not warning you."
Long Wei nodded, stood up, and said:
"Lord Jino, can't you go to Wildman Valley and ask the wildn's king to send back our private mine owners? After all, we can only collect 20% of the Crystal Stones in Wildman Valley."
"Heh, Lord Long, I think you'd better enhance the mining environnt of Pegasus City. You're giving the worst mines to those private mine owners, keeping the good ones for yourself. They're not fools; who would want to do business where there's no money to be made?"
Long Yue was speechless and could only leave Karachi City with a belly full of rage.
After Long Yue left, Jino burst into laughter. This ti, he had inadvertently scored a victory over Long Yue, which pleased him imnsely.
An assistant by Jino's side said:
"Lord, I'm sowhat worried about Wildman Valley. I went there once with Xingyun Piaoxue, and the construction in Wildman Valley is very good now. The life of the wildn has improved significantly.
They now have mines, Evolution resources, and the assistance of the Genetic Store. If they unite, they indeed represent a force not to be underestimated. If they beco powerful one day, might they pose a threat to us?"
Jino smiled faintly and said:
"What you're saying is not without consideration, but for the mont, Wildman Valley isn't strong enough to threaten us. Besides, Yang Xiao is a smart man. If he wants to survive, he must rely on us; otherwise, I'll make sure he dies a horrible death.
So, he won't be betraying for the ti being.
As for the future, ah, who could predict what will happen tomorrow?
If it wasn't for Yang Xiao's Wildman Valley incidentally aiding this ti, I would have almost been pushed aside by Long Yue.
Now things are looking up. Long Yue's mines lack sufficient Miners, causing a decrease in production. Even though he has seized three forests, he can't report his achievents upward,
As for , having subdued Wildman Valley, the Crystal Stone production has increased significantly. For the ti being, he can't hope to push aside, haha!"
For Jino, the greatest political achievent was contributing Crystal Stones to the Great Dragon Empire. The higher the Crystal Stone production, the more secure his position.
....
Long Yue exited Karachi City, feeling increasingly angry the more he thought about it. Here he was, a distinguished City Lord and an important servant of the Eldest Prince, yet outmaneuvered by the king of wildn—this was hard to swallow.
In a fit of anger, he said to the guard piloting the Spaceship:
"Fly to Wildman Valley!"
The guard was startled and said:
"Lord Long, we didn't bring any troops, just over a dozen guards. It's quite dangerous to go to Wildman Valley like this."
"Fear not, Wildman Valley has now submitted to the Great Dragon Empire, and they don't dare to do anything to ,"
"Hmph, I really hope they attack , so I've got an excuse to directly send troops to attack Wildman Valley and vent this damn frustration."
In Long Yue's eyes, with his power, even if he were surrounded by the wildn, he'd have the ability to escape. He's not afraid of Wildman Valley at all.
The guard, left with no choice, had to follow Long Yue's order, turning the spaceship towards Wildman Valley.
When the spaceship arrived at the edge of the Primitive Forest near Wildman Valley, one could see the mining sites on the ground from midair.
"Fly lower, let have a closer look."
Long Yue said.
The guard did as Long Yue asked, slowing down the spaceship and lowering its altitude to about thirty ters above the ground.
From midair, Long Yue saw the mines bustling, with a large number of miners working tensely. It looked like they were working happily, with speed and efficiency, few were slacking off.
Because there were neither attacks from large Demon Beasts nor disturbances from wildn, there were few guards in these mines – mostly miners. This invisibly saved the mining bosses a lot of personnel expenses.
This was also one of the reasons why private mine owners liked to mine here.
Thinking about the mines in the jurisdiction of Pegasus City, compared to here, those lacked so vitality; Long Yue, a City Lord himself, rarely felt upset about losing in mining to a bunch of wildn.
He just couldn't swallow his pride!
After inspecting more than a dozen mines and seeing nothing but prosperity.
"No more looking, go straight to Wildman Valley."
With an order from Long Yue, the spaceship flew towards Wildman Valley.
Long Yue's spaceship was clearly different from the other spaceships purchased by Yang Xiao. As soon as the spaceship entered the airspace of Wildman Valley, dozens of wildn guards flew up into the sky, dozens of Killing Auras appeared in front of the spaceship, blocking its path.
Long Yue was startled,
Damn it, Wildman Valley's defenses are so quick and strong?
The guards hurriedly stopped the spaceship, not daring to trespass,
"Lord Long, what should we do?"
"What's the rush when I'm here?"
Long Yue opened a window on the spaceship and shouted angrily:
"I am City Lord Long Yue from Pegasus City, here to inspect Wildman Valley. What are you doing blocking the way?"
The wildn guards who intercepted them midair froze, among them were wildn who had been driven here by Long Yue, and naturally hated Long Yue deeply.
Upon Long Yue's self-introduction, everyone felt a rush of eagerness for a fight.
However, Yang Xiao had stressed repeatedly that no one was to bring up past hatred again, absolutely no provocation, and no attacks or assassinations against people from the Great Dragon Empire, especially no revenge on Long Yue.
Coincidentally, the leader of this patrol was Shan Kui from the Mountain Tribe.
Clenching his teeth, Shan Kui said bitterly:
"Without our Wildman King's permission, outsiders are not allowed into our Wildman Valley. The Wildman King didn't ntion anything about so nobody coming to inspect Wildman Valley."
Long Yue's face changed, and he sneered:
"I'll tell you again, I am City Lord Long Yue, here to inspect Wildman Valley. Hurry up and report to the Wildman King, or suffer the consequences."
Shan Kui had a hot temper, several of his brothers had been killed in battle by Long Yue's guards. He'd long wanted to take revenge on Long Yue, and now that the enemy had delivered himself to his doorstep, wasn't it ti to take revenge?
He roared:
"Kakaka, you son of a turtle, you sent troops to attack our wildn, and now you actually co to inspect our Wildman Valley, shouting and hollering here, I'll butcher you right now."
"Oh really? You, who was too spineless to face my army head-on in the forests of Pegasus City, scared shitless and fleeing to Wildman Valley for protection, dare to challenge ?
Even if you had double the guts, you wouldn't dare. If you're brave enough, co and hit !"
Long Yue was deliberately provocative, thinking, it would be best if you attack , so I can imdiately bring in the troops and wipe out the entire Wildman Valley.
"Kakaka, this is outrageous, you scum, bullying us isn't enough, and now you co to bully us in Wildman Valley, I'll kill you!"
Shan Kui bellowed, clenched his fists, and an Energy storm surged towards the spaceship's window.
