Just when Chen Wu took over the Valley Manor and was struggling, elite personnel from Pegasus Hall arrived and built a branch in Valley Town.
These guys were not polite at all, and seemed to have already figured out Chen Wu's current difficulties.
Without even saying hello, he took the initiative to 'help' the manor stabilize order in the town and two bustling markets.
Immediately afterwards, they vigorously recruited peripheral members, with their main targets being the remaining guards and the top players who had recently emerged in the competition venue.
Putting on the posture of a powerful force, several innate warriors took turns to perform martial arts in front of a group of manor warriors, creating a huge momentum and attracting a lot of attention.
Chen Wu was still inexperienced, so he actually asked the Pegasus Hall branch to have the power of a big guest. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.
In the manor town, many newly emerging warriors have been acquired by the Pegasus Hall branch. Their strength has expanded rapidly in a short period of time, and they have the ability to affect the normal order of the valley manor.
Chen Wu didn't have much to do about this...
Not to mention the situation at the Valley Manor, here Chen Yinghui and a group of experts who were willing to follow, brought the materials and resources accumulated over the years, formed a convoy of a hundred large vehicles, and headed towards the Flying Fox Trail in a mighty manner.
He was not in a hurry, but slowly passed by the northern cities along the official road.
Every time he visited a city, he would have his convoy stay outside the city, while he would go into the city to visit the local generals and garrison camps with the experts at Huajin and above who were willing to join him.
Even though he was not welcomed in Zhenbei Palace and was even obviously suppressed and ostracized, he still did not dare to be looked down upon in the eyes of the major forces in the North.
After all, Chen Yingnai is an upright son of Zhenbeigong Mansion, and being ignored by his cheap father, Zhenbeigong Chen Longcheng, is not an excuse for outsiders to be casually scornful.
Besides, Chen Ying himself is very powerful, and his group of masters cannot be ignored.
Every time I go to the city to visit the local generals, there are always competitions and competitions, and then there are various performances by my capable men to show off their muscles.
The strength of Huajin and above is already quite impressive among the Northland Army, especially in cities outside the core city of Northland City, it is even more conspicuous.
Chen Ying didn't even need to take action personally. The good city generals he visited along the way were directly defeated by his subordinates, winning their respect.
This is true when visiting generals, and it is also true when garrisoning camps in major cities!
Chen Ying did not behave in a domineering manner, and continued to rush towards Feihu Trail after expressing enough goodwill.
As for the cities that we passed by when we arrived, they will all become transfer stations for food supplies to be transported to Feihu Trail.
Just to make life easier in the future and prevent the development of the Feihu Trail fiefdom from being inexplicably interfered with, Chen Ying had to give enough face to the generals and garrison troops in the cities along the way.
Of course, if there are fools who think Chen Ying is easy to bully and are not willing to give him face, various accidental deaths will inevitably occur in the future.
As a newly conquered territory by the Qi Empire, the Northland has a barbaric and domineering style. As long as you have the strength and don't make too much noise, it is not difficult to understand that you can do whatever you want.
From Valley Manor to Flying Fox Trail, the straight-line distance is thousands of miles away.
Every few hundred or thousands of miles, there is a serious city. The number of surrounding villages and towns is pitifully small, and the population is also quite sparse.
According to the data obtained by Chen Ying, the entire northern region is hundreds of thousands of miles away, but the population is less than five million. The vastness of the land and the sparse population are the best illustration of this.
Otherwise, even if the empire did not pay attention to it, Chen Ying's fiefdom would not be able to have an area of tens of thousands of miles, and there would be authorization to allow expansion.
The Northland only has such a small population, and there is no time to replenish the hinterland. How can there be any extra young people to run down the dangerous Flying Fox Trail?
In other words, it would be useless even if the size of Chen Ying's fiefdom were several times larger. Without enough population, it would be useless.
If it were anyone else, I am afraid they would have backed down long ago, but Chen Ying disagreed...
He would not cling to a development model where the land was vast but the people were scarce, and he was confident that he would build and develop the fiefdom well.
By the time the group of carriages and horses arrived at Flying Fox Trail, almost a month had passed.
It's not that the speed can't be faster. The standard marching speed of the Northland army horse is a thousand miles a day, and the maximum speed is three thousand miles a day. It's just not necessary.
"Haha, owner, you are finally here!"
Ling Feng came up with a group of young men with fierce auras and a smile on his face.
"Why are you walking so fast?"
Chen Ying dismounted and said angrily: "Let others see what it means to be a suppressed, bereaved dog?"
"Who dares to say that the owner of the village is a lost dog?"
Ling Feng's face turned cold and he said angrily: "You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
The violent aura on his body surged, and the horses in the surrounding area of 100 feet were frightened, neighing and getting nervous.
The experts who were following this guy and traveling with Chen Ying were frightened for a while, and their eyes changed when they looked at Ling Feng.
"Contain the leaked breath. Who are you trying to scare?"
Chen Ying waved his hand in annoyance and said: "I asked you to set out in advance. Are the camps along the way ready?"
“Don’t worry!”
Ling Feng suppressed his wild aura and said with a smile: "The terrain here on the Flying Fox Trail is really dangerous. Fortunately, there weren't many cars and horses coming this time. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to arrange it properly!"
"Nonsense, if Flying Fox Trail is really a traffic artery, will it be my turn to take advantage?"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"
Soon after, under the leadership of Ling Feng and his party, hundreds of carriages and horses entered the rugged and narrow valley road.
The so-called Flying Fox Trail is actually a narrow crack in the middle of the Snowy Mountains.
The path is so winding that most of it can only accommodate a carriage.
This is because Ling Feng and other pioneers were one step ahead and cleared the stones and trees blocking the path, otherwise it would be even more difficult.
But even so, the undulating path and the soft and humid ground still brought great inconvenience to the group's walking.
This path between two mountains is very similar to the cracks that appeared after a major earthquake.
Fortunately, it is not between cliffs, but between mountains and forests with a relatively large slope washed by rain. The terrain is much higher than the flat land due to the accumulation of soil.
The Flying Fox Trail is a winding and muddy path separated by two mountains.
Most of the paths are narrow and difficult to navigate, and there are only a few fractured valleys where a group of vehicles can take a rest.
The entire Flying Fox Trail traverses the tail mountains of the Snow Mountains and is almost five hundred miles away. If there is no careful planning and preparation in advance, it will not be easy for Chen Ying and his team to pass smoothly.
As mentioned before, this can be regarded as the hinterland of the Snowy Mountains, a truly deserted place.
In addition to specialty animals such as flying foxes, there are many mutated ferocious birds and beasts!
That is to say, Chen Ying had no psychological understanding. If he encountered someone, as long as the other party did not take the initiative to attack, he would just call on Ling Feng to use his power to scare him away.
It took two days to walk along the mountain road of about 500 miles.
The main reason is that some sections of the road are too narrow, and the carriage can only be carried forward by manpower, which wastes a lot of energy and time.
And at the exit of the Flying Fox Trail, there is a huge trumpet-shaped flat land.
Coming out of the mountain path, you immediately have a wonderful feeling of clear sky and clear clouds, with a wide field of vision.
What came into view was a huge plain covering an area of dozens of square kilometers.
There are undulating hills and crisscrossed rivers, making it a pretty good habitat.
"The environment here is better than that in the Valley Manor. Why are there no barbarians settling outside the Great Wall?"
He ordered his subordinates to set up camp by a small river at the exit of Feihu Trail. Chen Ying took Ling Feng for a walk nearby and suddenly asked out of curiosity.
"The owner doesn't know!"
Ling Feng said directly: "This place can be considered a remote place among the barbarians outside the Great Wall. It was also cleaned up by the Northern Frontier Army. There are no barbarian tribes beyond the Great Wall in an area of tens of thousands of miles. There is no trace of human habitation here!
"
As he spoke, he pointed his thumb back with his right hand and said funnyly: "The mutated ferocious birds and beasts on the mountain are not just for fun. How can there be any powerful masters in ordinary barbarian tribes?"
Tsk, this is really true!
Chen Ying didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "The environment here is really good!"
Pointing to the dense mountain forests on both sides, he said leisurely: "As long as we deal with the powerful mutated beasts in the mountains and forests and ensure that there are no powerful things within a radius of 500 miles, we can successfully establish a foundation here!"
Then he pointed to the vast plains and the several rivers with abundant water power, and chuckled: "As long as it is developed properly, it will not be a problem to build a town here!"
Ling Feng smiled bitterly and poured cold water on him: "Master, with just the manpower we have, we won't be able to build a town in ten years, right?"
This time, there were quite a few good players following us, but the number was less than 500.
Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that a town cannot be built in ten years. With less than 500 skilled workers at the moment, as long as the command and distribution are proper, a town that is not inferior to the small towns in the valley can be built within a year.
"Build a village first to ensure basic survival safety, and then slowly plan and build it!"
Chen Ying was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Your task is not easy. You must ensure that the Flying Fox Trail is smooth. If you still have enough energy, expand the road surface of the Flying Fox Trail so that the subsequent carriages and horses can pass more smoothly!"
"Don't worry, owner, I know what's going on!"
Ling Feng was not afraid and said with a smile: "It's just that I don't have the tools at hand!"
"This is easy!"
Chen Ying confidently said: "I will make a batch soon, but you have to be careful, I guess the people at Pegasus Hall will not give up easily!"
"Haha, I wish they would come over and deliver food!"
Ling Feng sneered and said: "If we can capture one or two innate masters to do hard work, it will be much easier for us here!"
Chen Ying smiled and said nothing, but her eyes were full of encouragement.
To be honest, he is also looking forward to such a situation. Don't let the free labor go to waste...
