147 Surrender! The Ancestral Statue Of The Human Race On Cerulean Planet!
A few seconds later.
"So you're the famous Lord recently."
"No wonder…"
"I, Ah Tu, have heard a lot about you."
Ah Tu's voice sounded.
There seemed to be a sense of relief in its voice.
"My Lord, please wait a moment."
Ah Tu said.
"Okay."
Zhou Zhou noticed the change in the way the other party addressed him and immediately nodded slightly.
It seemed that Nezario and the nearly 9,000 Military Professionals were indeed very intimidating.
In the future, he could use this to avoid many unnecessary wars.
He could just get into position and scare the other party.
In any case, they could win by using force. Why did they have to fight head-on?
A moment later.
The gates of Zelar City opened.
Ah Tu walked out with more than 1,000 tall Ox Demons and stopped 30 to 40 meters away from Zhou Zhou.
Ah Tu stared at Zhou Zhou and slowly knelt on one knee.
"I, the City Lord of Zelar City, Ox Demon Boss— Ah Tu, am willing to give up my status as a Lord and bring the 1,256 Ox Demon Subjects of Zelar City to join you and become your Subject!"
Ah Tu said in a deep voice.
[Ox Demon Boss—Ah Tu leads 1,256 Ox Demons and requests to join your territory and become your Subject. Do you agree?]
"Agreed."
Zhou Zhou thought to himself.
The next second.
[Prompt: 1,257 Ox Demons have become your Subject!]
Lord Talent Hint: Peace And Prosperity is taking effect. The Loyalty of the Subjects is increasing…
[Lord Talent Notification: Loyalty of 1,257 Ox Demons has increased to 71 points!]
Zhou Zhou smiled.
Why did he let the other party off with such a simple condition?
Firstly, it was because the Scarlet Fog was about to descend. He did not intend to waste time here and wanted to conquer this place as quickly as possible.
Secondly, it was because he had the Diamond-Tier Lord Talent, Peace And Prosperity.
As long as the other party dared to join his territory and become his Subject.
Then, regardless of whether the other party had any ulterior motives before joining, they would not be able to harbor such thoughts as long as they became his Subject.
There was no way they could escape!
"From now on, we're family."
Zhou Zhou walked over with a smile and extended his right hand to Ah Tu.
Ah Tu was stunned for a moment before hurriedly reaching out to shake hands with its Lord.
"Please take care of me in the future, my Lord!"
Ah Tu said respectfully.
"Sure, sure."
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, he looked at the items he could steal.
Then he suddenly froze.
[Currently stealable items: one Yellow Gold-Tier Intermediate Grade skill book "Great Strength" (stealing success rate: 95%), one Yellow Gold-Tier Intermediate Grade Growable Racial Growth Skill Book "Bloodthirsty Battle" (stealing success rate: 93%), one Yellow Gold-Tier Intermediate Grade Growable Racial Growth Skill Book "Ox Demon Transformation" (stealing success rate: 94%), one White Silver Ancestor Statue of the Human Race on Cerulean Planet (stealing success rate: 91%), two Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments (stealing success rate: 90%)]
"There's actually such a thing?"
Zhou Zhou's gaze was focused on the words "Ancestor Statue of the Human Race on Cerulean Planet".
He suddenly reacted.
Zhao Changshou should have built the Imperial Ancestral Temple by now!
That was why the Ancestor Statue of the humans on Cerulean Planet appeared among the items that Ah Tu could steal.
He looked at the other party's list of Loot.
That was indeed the case.
The other party's list of loots also included the Loots of the Ancestor Statue of the human race on Cerulean Planet.
Without any hesitation, he silently chanted the word 'steal'.
The next second.
A three-meter-tall Cerulean Planet Ancestor Statue and two Black Iron-Tier Lord Talent Crystal Fragments appeared out of thin air in his Spatial Ring.
Zhou Zhou looked at the information on the Ancestor Statue of the human race on Cerulean Planet.
[Treasure Name: Ancestor Statue of the Human Race of Cerulean Planet—Sun Simiao]
[Treasure Grade: White Silver-Tier]
[Treasure Effect: Place it in the shrine of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and activate the Ancestor Statue's beneficial effect on territory, Subjects, or Lords!]
[Treasure Introduction: An ancient Chinese pharmaceutical scientist and Daoist priest. He was revered as the King of Medicine by later generations. He wrote "Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies" and "Supplement to the Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold". He also completed the world's first national medicine book, "Tang Dynasty New Medical Herbs"!]
[Prompt: Collect two ancestral statues of the same level and the same person and you can fuse them into a higher level ancestral statue! The fused ancestral statue will produce a better buff effect on the territory, Subjects, and Lords!]
"Is it actually this ancestor?"
Zhou Zhou was shocked.
Naturally, he had heard of this King of Medicine.
This big shot was in the history textbooks he read when he was young.
"I wonder what the buff effect of this ancestor is?"
"I'll give it a try at the Imperial Ancestral Temple when I get back." He thought.
"My Lord."
"Is there anything you need us to do?"
Ah Tu asked nervously.
After hearing what his Lord had just said, he was already prepared to do his best.
Zhou Zhou thought for a moment before looking at the other party.
"There's a miniature iron mine near my territory."
"You can get your Subjects to mine the iron ore there."
He said.
"Do you have food and accommodation?"
Ah Tu asked shamelessly.
Zhou Zhou was speechless.
"Don't worry."
"Not just food and accommodation."
"Those who are willing to go will even be given Mist Core as a salary."
Zhou Zhou said.
These Ox Demons were huge and strong, they were the best choice to mine iron ore.
There was no need to fight with them.
He did not lack soldiers now.
The Ox Demons Boss was overjoyed.
It was very strong physically but its governance on its territory was not strong. In addition, the place they were staying in was a resource-poor place like Thorn Dune.
Therefore, it and its Ox Demons Subject were very poor.
Usually, it was the one who brought the Subjects to Fish Spring Town to do odd jobs and some hard work to barely survive.
Someone had once valued their strength and wanted to hire them as their fighters.
However, its Subjects rejected it without hesitation.
The reason why they ran to such a desolate place to build a city and settle down.
was to stay away from the war, avoid it, and live a stable life without worrying about losing their lives.
How could they agree to such an employment?
As a result, they had a hard time even though they were very strong.
Ah Tu suddenly felt that it was not bad to be a Subject under the Lord.
At least there was a fixed work scope they could do.
"Oh yes."
"Your Subjects can work in mini iron mines."
"But don't go there if you're so strong."
"From now on, you'll fight alongside me." Zhou Zhou said.
He was not interested in the Normal Ox Demons.
However, he would not let go of such a Yellow Gold-Tier Intermediate Grade fighter.
"Yes… My Lord." Ah Tu's face stiffened, then it forced a smile and agreed.
Zhou Zhou ignored its expression.
After that, he gave Ah Tu a map of the surrounding area and told him the location of Blazing Sun City.
Then, he did not stay any longer and led the army back to Sand Gold City seeing that it was getting late.
