Chapter 334 The Wild Beast Dynasty has actually spread to the territory of my Great Zhou?

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen was in a good mood.

The appearance of General Yuwen Chengdu gave the Great Zhou Dynasty a boost in confidence.

With the strength of a peak Yin-Yang expert, he would be considered a powerful figure even in other dynasties of the barbaric lands.

Moreover, Yuwen Chengdu, the most valiant and invincible general of the world, possessed combat power far exceeding his apparent strength.

Zhou Chen flipped through the memorials submitted by the cabinet concerning disaster relief and aid to the people.

Previously, the earth shook, which had a significant impact on various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Many people's houses collapsed, and they suffered a great deal of disaster.

Zhou Chen issued an edict to the cabinet to quickly provide disaster relief and aid to the people.

After more than a month, thanks to the swift relief efforts of the imperial court, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who had suffered from this natural disaster, were finally able to receive aid.

Just as Zhou Chen closed the memorial, Cao Zhengchun entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"His Majesty."

"The Western Capital and the Northern Capital were attacked by small groups of wild beasts."

"However, both cities are safe and sound, and the Wild Beast Dynasty has been defeated."

"These are the messages that have just arrived from the two cities. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun presented the two messages directly to Zhou Chen.

Oh!
Zhou Chen's expression changed in surprise.

I received two messages from Cao Zhengchun.

I opened it and glanced at it.

"Has this barbaric beast dynasty actually spread to the territory of my Great Zhou?"

Zhou Chen frowned slightly.

Previously, after learning about the Wild Beast Dynasty from the people of the Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Chen thought that the Wild Beast Dynasty was too far away from the Great Zhou and it was unlikely that it would affect the territory of the Great Zhou.

But now it seems that Zhou Chen had made assumptions before.

Zhou Chen put down the message in his hand and looked at Cao Zhengchun, saying, "Issue an order to Xiliang and Beijiang to transfer the Xiliang Army and Zhenbei Army to strengthen the defense of Xidu City and Beidu City."

"At the same time, inform Hua Xiong and Gao Shun to guard the Western Capital and the Northern Capital well. They can recruit some experts from among the refugees who have fled to our Great Zhou to supplement the army..."

Zhou Chen knew that he couldn't be complacent and stuck in his ways.

Although Zhou Chen had already deployed troops, he wouldn't see any results in the short term.

The Great Zhou army lacks skilled warriors.

Among the wild people who fled from the Wild Beast Dynasty to the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were some experts.

If these people could be absorbed into the army of the Great Zhou, it would not only increase the strength of the army, but also help the deserters who fled to the Great Zhou to better integrate into the Great Zhou. It would be a win-win situation.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said,

……

The Great Stone City.

Inside the council hall of the city lord's mansion.

Stone Rock, the city lord of Giant Stone City, sat in the main seat.

A dozen or so figures sat on the left and right sides below.

Each figure exuded a powerful aura; although they couldn't compare to the City Lord of Giant Stone City in the main seat, they were still formidable experts.

Shi Yan glanced at everyone present; "Gentlemen, the news has been confirmed. There is indeed a secret realm that has merged into our Great Wilderness, called Great Zhou."

"This current Beast Dynasty arose from this," Shi Yan said.

The dozen or so people present did not show the slightest change in expression upon hearing this.

They had already sent people to investigate after hearing the news.

The information they received was no slower than that received by the Lord of Boulder City.

"As you all know, the other cities probably know about this news as well. I believe it won't be long before the other cities send people to the Great Zhou, and our Giant Stone City naturally cannot fall behind."

“You are all the cornerstones of my Great Stone City, and also the leaders of all the families and forces in Great Stone City.”

"Therefore, the city lord has summoned you all here in the hope that you will obey the city lord's mansion and not act on your own."

"In this way, we won't be at a disadvantage when facing other cities."

Shi Yan scanned the crowd present.

These people are the leaders of various factions and groups in Giant Rock City, and they are the pillars that support the entire city.

otherwise.

Without these forces, the entire Giant Stone City would only have one city lord's mansion, so how could Giant Stone City stand firm in the Great Wilderness!
Perhaps, none of these people are as powerful as the City Lord's Mansion.

But if these people were to unite, even Shi Yan, the city lord of Giant Stone City, would have to take it seriously.

Upon hearing Shi Yan's words, the dozen or so people present exchanged glances but did not immediately express their opinions.

To be honest, who wouldn't be envious of such a large share of the profits that the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had just integrated into the Great Wilderness, had been so eager to acquire?

Who is willing to obey the city lord's mansion and give up their right to autonomy?

But they also understood that Shi Yan's words made a lot of sense. The Great Zhou was such a big piece of meat that it would definitely attract troops from other cities.

If they act independently, even if they gain some benefits, it will be a real question whether they can hold onto them.

"Lord City, if we all obey the City Lord's Mansion, how should the profits be distributed?"

One of them spoke up, breaking the silence.

"Yes, Lord City Lord."

"If we obey the city lord's mansion, how should the profits be divided?"

"This issue needs to be clarified beforehand."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to agree to the city lord's opinion."

Once someone spoke up, the others followed suit, all looking towards Shi Yan in the main seat.

Their primary concern is profit.

As for obeying the City Lord's Mansion, as long as the City Lord's Mansion distributes the benefits properly, then there's nothing wrong with them obeying the City Lord's Mansion.

Shi Yan sat upright in the main seat, looking at everyone; "You have misunderstood me. What I mean is that when we face other cities, we must unite against them."

"As for the rest, of course, it depends on the means."

Shi Yan's words caused the eyes of the dozen or so people present to flash.

"can."

After exchanging glances, the dozen or so people all nodded.

As long as the city lord's mansion doesn't restrict their autonomy, that's fine.

In this way, how much benefit can be gained depends on each person's own methods.

As for obeying the city lord's mansion and uniting against external forces, this is more beneficial than harmful to them.

Otherwise, if they don't help and support each other when facing other cities, their gains will be swallowed up one by one.

……

Not just Stonehenge.

At the same time, other cities in the Great Wilderness also received news that secret realms and small worlds were being integrated into the Great Wilderness.

I also learned that this large-scale invasion of the Wild Beast Dynasty was caused by this.

Upon hearing this news, all the forces in the various cities were filled with greedy gleam, casting their covetous gazes toward the Great Zhou.

As the emperor of the Great Zhou, Zhou Chen probably doesn't know that the Great Zhou, this lucrative prize, has already been eyed by various cities in the Great Wilderness.

perhaps.

Even if Zhou Chen knew that Da Zhou was being targeted by others, he wouldn't care too much.

The Great Zhou's overall strength is not strong, but that does not mean that the Great Zhou is a fish on a chopping board, and anyone can slaughter it.

Especially with the arrival of General Yuwen Chengdu, the Great Zhou Dynasty was no longer a place that anyone could covet.
