Jia Zhengjin traveled day and night and rushed back to Shenglong City in only six days.
For his return, Varian, Alvin, Moses, Leo and other generals guarding the fortress were all delighted.
"Has anything happened in the city recently?" After arriving at the fortress, Jia Zhengjin finally felt relieved. The feeling of arriving at home is indeed the best!
"Report to Lord Keen!" Varian, as the most powerful among these generals, immediately stepped forward and replied, "It's still the same in recent days. Due to the pressure of the war, few people will pass by this road! There is no big road in the city.
Things, everyone's hard work, training and training, patrols and patrols, everything is going on in an orderly manner. Everyone is actively preparing for war, and no time is wasted!"
"Yeah!" Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Is there any news about the surrounding areas?"
"Our intelligence collection unit does have some good news!" Varian replied, "The situation in the Xiongfeng Empire's battle with the Otto Empire and the Storm Alliance Army seems to be quite bad! The City of Light has been destroyed due to insufficient guard strength.
Occupied by the Storm Alliance Army, the Otto Empire also occupied the Valley City of the Xiongfeng Empire! Under pressure, the Xiongfeng Empire was ready to sue for peace and was willing to use Claude's body in exchange for the temporary withdrawal of the Otto Empire and the Storm Alliance Army."
"This is indeed good news!" Jia Zhengjin nodded with a smile on his face. If Claude's body is taken back and resurrected, he can get the elves' spring of life. With the spring of life, he also has Tina,
Palin, Christina, and even the people around her can live a long life! Who would think that they can live a long life and always live young? Right?
"Also," Varian continued, "The King of the Otto Empire seems to want to consolidate relations with us, so he has prepared a large amount of gold and silver treasures and is preparing to send envoys to escort them."
"Oh? How many gold coins are there?!" Jia Zhengjin asked hurriedly, he was more concerned about this.
"There is no explanation in this information!" Varian replied, "Do you need me to use fruit essence to send a letter to ask?"
"Okay... let's forget it!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "There's no need! Let's wait until the things arrive!"
"yes!"
"Other than that, is there any other good news?"
"Yes!" Varian thought for a moment, "Mrs. Tina ordered the expansion project of Holy Dragon City. Now the third city area has been divided into locations, which is about three times the total of the original inner city and outer city combined.
Big and small! The construction of the city wall is going very smoothly, and about one-tenth of the progress has been completed. During this period, we have not been attacked by any monsters or wild creatures, and our troops continue to patrol the surrounding areas."
"The city has been expanded?" Jia Zhengjin was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Tina would have such courage while he was away, "But why is it suddenly being expanded? Aren't there still a lot of empty construction areas in our outer city?
"
"Report to Lord Keen!" Varian replied, "Actually, it's because we got news a few days ago that there is a Mirtai tribe in the Beit Empire, who were originally citizens of the Mirtai Kingdom. Their country is in
It was conquered by the Beit Empire many years ago. Although the entire Mirtai tribe resisted desperately, they were unable to do anything and finally had to hide in the mountains. This Mirtai Kingdom recently heard the news about the Holy Dragon City and learned about Lord Keen from nowhere.
You are kind-hearted and willing to protect any ethnic group in distress, so you have traveled thousands of miles to come and seek refuge. Some kind-hearted messengers passed by and sent their letters of help to our city. Because of this, Lady Tina ordered the city to be expanded immediately.
Build a place for the Mirta people to live!"
"Where did they hear about the Holy Dragon City? Who said I was willing to protect any suffering ethnic group..." Jia Zhengjin said this, and suddenly an idea flashed, "I'll go! It's definitely Connie's big rip-off! What does she want?
what?"
"Lord Keen, do you think it's inappropriate to accept the Miltai people?" Seeing Jia Zhengjin's expression change, Varien asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to lead the troops there and drive them back?"
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but glance at Warien. This guy was really ruthless, but he was obviously thinking about himself.
But it wasn’t that hard for him to talk, he just felt depressed about Connie doing things outside. Besides, Holy Dragon City was a big enough place anyway, and he didn’t mind accepting some refugees: “Since I agreed, there’s no need.
Regret! Tina promised me, it’s the same!"
"Yes, Lord Keen is merciful!" Varian immediately smiled.
"By the way! What about the Mirtai tribe? Are there hundreds of people coming to seek refuge this time?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
Varian shook his head.
"Are there thousands of people?" Jia Zhengjin asked again.
Varian still shook his head.
"How many people are there? Don't keep shaking your head at me!" Jia Zhengjin said displeased.
"Report to Lord Keen," Varian replied hurriedly, "According to the letter from the Myrtai tribe, they themselves said there are 23,477 people in total!"
"How much?" Jia Zhengjin thought he heard wrongly and looked at Varien with wide eyes.
"Lord Keen, 23,477 people!" Varian repeated.
"More than 23,000 people? Are you kidding me?" Jia Zhengjin originally thought there were only a few hundred people, or at most a thousand people. But he didn't expect that the number Varien reported to him turned out to be more than 23,000 people.
! Let me go! How many times is the number of people in Holy Dragon City? You must know that excluding the kobolds and emperors summoned by yourself, the actual citizens accepted by the entire Holy Dragon City are only a little over six or seven thousand!
Seeing that Jia Zhengjin was frightened by this number, Warien hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true! Unless the Mirtai people lied, it would be your number! We were also shocked when we saw it at first."
"No wonder Tina wants to expand the area to more than twice the size of the original city, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to live in it!" Jia Zhengjin twitched the corner of his mouth. There are more than 23,000 people! So many people will be added at once, which makes him feel a little bit
Worry.
It’s not because of the food problem. With the farm system, they can be completely self-sufficient, even faster than the current hoarding speed! It’s just that the work distribution problem of so many people is very troublesome. Shenglong City currently has no industry, except for mining.
Just cut down trees, fish, etc. Even if half of these tens of thousands of people go to farm, it will be difficult to distribute all the rest! Do they have to be idle every day with nothing to do?
That's not right! Then he thought again, if that didn't work, he could recruit a large number of soldiers from there. This was a solution! Anyway, the war was coming, and he needed more troops, right?
