162 Increase In Ranking! Zhou Zhou's Request!

"You're so rich."

Wu Bailian could not help but sigh.

The corpses of so many honorable subjects were worth a lot.

Zhou Zhou smiled and said nothing.

Wu Bailian would not have said that if he knew his gains.

But then again, the corpses of these honorable subjects were indeed expensive.

A White Platinum-Tier honorable subject's corpse actually cost a Diamond-Tier Mist Core, while a Yellow Gold-Tier honorable subject's corpse also cost a White Platinum-Tier Mist Core.

It was an entire level higher than their value on the surface.

He would have felt that he was being scammed if not for the fact that Zhou Zhou knew the importance of Aurora Crystals to the Aurora Kingdom.

Zhou Zhou paid Wu Bailian the Mist Cores as agreed — A total of 1,432,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores were spent on 312 Yellow Gold-Tier and 112 White Platinum-Tier corpses!

This was naturally nothing to the current Zhou Zhou.

The Mist Cores he earned every day far exceeded this number.

They did not stay any longer. After saying a simple word to Wu Bailian, they bade farewell and left.

A moment later, in the sky.

Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi stood on Nezario's back.

Nezario, which was already 25 meters tall, could carry 30 to 40 people on its back.

Therefore, the two of them looked exceptionally spacious and stable standing there.

Moreover, Nezario had used the Draconic Magic to offset the strong wind blowing at them intentionally, so the two of them felt as if they were standing on flat ground.

Zhou Zhou stood at the front in silence.

When Bai Yi saw this, she could not help but ask curiously,

"My Lord, are you worried about something? If that's the case, why don't you tell me? I can share my Lord's burden."

"Nothing, I just thought of something."

Zhou Zhou came back to his senses and said.

"Are you thinking about what City Lord Wu said about the Tahan Kingdom attacking Sunshine City and the surrounding territories?" Bai Yi asked.

Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment before nodding.

"The Aurora Kingdom borders our territory."

"If the Aurora Kingdom is breached by the scarlet monsters of the Tahan Kingdom."

"When the nest is overturned, no egg stays unbroken."

"We will definitely be the next target of the Tahan Kingdom."

"At the moment, it's very difficult for our territory to withstand the attack of a Kingdom-level faction."

"Moreover, this is a strong Crimson Kingdom." He said.

Zhou Zhou naturally did not forget that there was a Yellow Gold-Tier regional territory of the Tahan Kingdom [Dark Night Town] in the south of the White Silver-Tier Green Forest.

As for the reason why the other party did not attack from the direction of the Dark Night Town, from the looks of it, was probably because of the natural barrier of the Sandstorm Forbidden Zone.

Other than that, Zhou Zhou also thought of Li Ya, who was still in his territory.

This Princess of the Aurora Kingdom had been very polite to him ever since she came to his territory.

Previously, he thought that this was because the other party had a good upbringing.

Perhaps that was not all from the looks of it.

She should be looking for help for her kingdom, and he must be a suitable target for her.

"I do have the potential to become their helper."

"But potential is still potential, we are not at the level to help them currently."

"However, I shouldn't have to worry about the Aurora Kingdom not being able to withstand the attacks for the time being."

"I'm mainly facing the current battlefield of the Lords of All Races."

"But I have to think about this early."

Zhou Zhou pondered.

At this moment, a text notification appeared.

[Your subjects have conquered a Black Iron-Tier Scarlet Lord's territory and obtained one ranking!]

Zhou Zhou was stunned. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It seemed that Elder Wu's operation was going quite smoothly.

Half an hour later.

They returned to Blazing Sun City.

"My Lord, I want to return to the army and speed up the conquest of those two Green Bronze-Tier territories!"

Bai Yi had just jumped off Nezario's back when she immediately said respectfully to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou looked at her.

He guessed that she must have been affected by his words just now.

That was why she was so anxious to make this request.

"Don't be anxious."

"There's a saying in our hometown: haste makes waste."

"We're already developing very quickly."

"The Aurora Kingdom won't collapse in a short period of time."

He comforted her.

"Yes! But I still want to go." Bai Yi insisted.

"Then go, let Nezario take you."

"Your speed should be faster with Nezario around."

Zhou Zhou said.

Bai Yi nodded.

Soon, she sat on Nezario's back again and flew away with it.

Zhou Zhou went to look for Zhao Changshou and handed him a 100 cubic meters spatial ring.

"Elder Zhao."

"There are one million Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, 312 Yellow Gold-Tier Aurora Crystals, and 112 White Platinum-Tier Aurora Crystals."

"Elder Zhao, please use them to build the Aurora Towers in Blazing Sun City and Sand Gold City during this period of time."

"Especially for Blazing Sun City! It's best to build a White Platinum-Tier Advance Grade Aurora Tower!" Zhou Zhou said.

A White Platinum-Tier Advance Grade Aurora Tower!

As long as it could be built!

When the time comes… He would have the confidence to get even an Extraordinary-Tier Elementary Grade invader to retreat if they dared to invade his Blazing Sun City!

"Yes, my Lord!"

"However, I will need to mobilize a portion of the blacksmiths, carpenters, and other lifestyle professionals in the territory to join in if you want to build a White Platinum-Tier Aurora Tower. Only then can I complete the construction."

"I hope my Lord can agree!" Zhao Changshou asked respectfully.

As a high-level architect, he could command ordinary people to build buildings of lower-levels with his own ability.

However, the higher the level of the building, the more it needed the participation of many living talents.

For example, blacksmiths, carpenters, engravers, painters, and other lifestyle professionals.

They were all indispensable talents in the construction of high-level buildings.

That was why he made this request.

Zhou Zhou naturally agreed readily.

After that, he stopped chatting and went to look for Li Ya.

"My Lord is back so soon?" Li Ya said in surprise.

"I just got back." Zhou Zhou acknowledged.

"I just went to Sunshine City and realized that the situation there and the area around it doesn't seem to be very good. They seem to have been attacked by the army of the Tahan Kingdom." He hesitated and said.

Li Ya nodded.

"The Tahan Kingdom and my Aurora Kingdom have a long-standing grudge."

"I knew about this before I came."

"My Lord, if you're interested in the war at the Kingdom-level, you can come with me to take a look when I return. I can guarantee that this trip will not be made in vain."

"Sure."

Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and nodded.

He was so close to the territory of the Tahan Kingdom.

The Tahan Kingdom would also become his enemy in the future.

Since that was the case…

It was good to understand it in advance.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Ya's face seeing Zhou Zhou agree to her suggestion.

"By the way, Your Highness, I wonder if what you said last time about agreeing to one of my requests still stands?" Zhou Zhou said.

"Of course."

"Father's promise will always be carried out."

"My Lord, have you thought of what you want?"

Li Ya asked.
