Chapter 634: City Construction (5)
Shen Yanxiao was intrigued.
“You can tell the location of the mineral veins ?”
Su He smiled and said, “Before I was at the Scar of Oblivion, I was a miner.”
It was such a remarkable coincidence!
“Great. I will leave that matter to you.” Shen Yanxiao rejoiced over the fact that she did the right thing in the Scar of Oblivion. Su He was a rare and valuable talent for her and her city.
Very few slaves had skills. The Sun Never Sets needed talents, and that problem had bugged Shen Yanxiao.
At the initial stage of the city’s construction, that problem had not been that prominent. However, it would become a significant issue in the later development stage after the built was completed.
Shen Yanxiao had no intention of giving a comprehensive report to the emperor of the Longxuan Empire. Her identity as a warlock was a sensitive issue, and it could bring her unnecessary troubles. It was highly likely that the emperor would try to sabotage her instead of offering her assistance.
After she checked the mineral products, Shen Yanxiao sent them to the construction team.
Shen Yanxiao was thrilled to track the completion of the city wall.
Was there anything else more satisfactory than that?
That city would only belong to her. Neither the Longxuan Empire nor the Vermilion Bird family could lay claim on it. It was hers and hers alone!
During that time, members from the Cave Wolf Mercenary Group had become used to living with demons. They had not taken part in constructing the city wall, but their interaction with the demons had become quite common.
The mercenaries’ world views had been entirely twisted.
Shen Yanxiao asked the two Phoenixes and Vermilion Bird to stay in the city. They used their strong powers to destroy the shabby houses in the city, but they left a few standing so that everyone could live there for the time being. All the other buildings were destroyed to make it easier for any future construction in the city.
The three mythical beasts could inflict destruction with high proficiency. They enjoyed themselves as if it was a game.
Lan Fengli followed Shen Yanxiao around like her little tail. However, he became quiet in the presence of other people like Yin Jiuchen, though he would never take his eyes off Shen Yanxiao.
The Sun Never Sets headed toward a new future, and the scouts sent over by the other three countries did not miss a single thing.
The Sun Never Sets’ prosperity made the other three forces’ leaders restless with anxiety.
Inside the Fantasy Devil City, Geng Di sat on his chair as he listened to reports from the scouts; he was in a gloomy mood.
“Are you telling me that the Sun Never Sets suddenly has more people and they have already started to rebuild the city? The city wall is almost complete? Is that right?” Geng Di could not believe what he had heard. How did Shen Yanxiao achieve so much when she had only arrived at the Forsaken Land less than a month ago?
That sounded so ridiculous!
When he built the Fantasy Land, Geng Di had to mobilize more than ten thousand mercenaries and spent almost half a year before they eliminated all the demons in the Fantasy Devil City.
It seemed like Shen Yanxiao had managed to skip that part and went on to build the city directly. That was beyond anyone’s belief.
“Are all the demons in the Sun Never Sets dead? How can they let a kid start rebuilding the city so easily?” Geng Di curled his lips. The Sun Never Sets was one of the five major cities, and there were more than ten thousand demons there, not to mention the appalling number of advanced demons.
It took Geng Di almost half a year to kill thousands of demons in Fantasy Devil City. It was impossible to start building a city without one to two years’ preparation!
