Chapter 573 - 573 Millions of Refugees? (2)
573 Millions of Refugees? (2)
[Today is the third day. This rest period pa.s.sed so quickly… It will be fine in another seven days.]
[Previous poster, I suggest that you give the Lord a winter break.]
[Tomorrow is the King of Ten Thousand Kings’ event. I’m starting to feel nervous again. Every time the Supreme Will appears, a large number of Cerulean Planet Lords will definitely die. I hope fewer Lords die this time. It’s best if I’m not the one who dies!]
[I have 1,000 soldiers under my command now. I wonder if I can survive this King of Ten Thousand Kings event.]
[1,000 soldiers are alright. I suggest that they be mercenaries for the indigenous countries. This way, they can also freeload their training resources.]
[Haha, that’s what I did. I only have a little more than a thousand soldiers under my command, and most of them are new recruits. They almost don’t have any battlefield combat experience. Later, I sent 500 new recruits over to be mercenaries for the native kingdom. When they returned, I felt like all of them had become elite soldiers.]
[I’m short of soldiers now. Most importantly, I’m short of weapons and skill books! F*ck! The drop rate of this High Continent is really a scam! I’ve tried it. On average, 100 monsters can only drop one equipment or skill book. What kind of trash drop rate is this!]
[Indeed, this drop rate is even crazier than anything I’ve ever played.]
[I want skill books, equipment, cozy up to someone powerful, all kinds of things!]
…
Zhou Zhou looked at the chat content on the World Channel. His originally happy mood from obtaining the bloodline of the Original Spirit Race calmed down a little.
“Tomorrow is the King of Ten Thousand Kings’ event.”
“Fortunately, the enemy kingdoms around me have been cleaned up. Otherwise, I would have to guard against their sneak attacks while I carry out my activities.”
“As for the Ice Demon Kingdom and those people of foreign races, I only defeated them once yesterday. For the time being, they shouldn’t rashly send troops to start a war with me unless they know my background.”
Zhou Zhou thought.
Today was his founding ceremony so he did not plan to send troops out to fight again.
As the protagonist, he was destined to be very busy and would definitely not have time to go out.
Moreover, it would not be good to send troops on a day like the founding ceremony.
In any case, one day was not a problem.
He would treat it as a vacation for himself, the soldiers, and the Subjects.
Let everyone relax for a day. It would not be too late to continue developing tomorrow.
At the thought of this, Zhou Zhou felt much more relaxed.
Then, he thought of the Lords on the World Channel regarding the need for skill books and equipment.
“I hope selling these skill books and equipment this time can earn back all the money I just spent on buying the Original Spirit Race bloodline.”
“Even half is good enough.”
Zhou Zhou thought. Then, he immediately opened the Marketplace and placed 100 million skill books and 200 million equipment on it!
As soon as such a large number of skill books and equipment entered the Marketplace, they instantly attracted the attention of a large number of Lords and quickly rose to the first place on the browsing list.
The Lords on the World Channel were once again amazed by the generosity of the King of The Blazing Sun!
Zhou Zhou did not care about this.
“Even though it’s the holidays.”
“But we still have to do what needs to be done.”
After closing the Marketplace interface, he stood up and walked towards the Gate of Summoning.
…
In front of the Gate of Summoning.
Zhou Zhou looked at the scene in front of him.
A text notification appeared.
[Prompt: Do you want to summon immediately?]
“Yes!”
The next second.
The Gate of Summoning suddenly lit up with a bright white light. Then, a large number of subjects walked out.
Soon, the 4,000 new Subjects walked out of the Gate of Summoning.
“Greetings, my Lord!” x4,000
All the new Subjects said respectfully.
“Welcome to Blazing Sun City.”
Zhou Zhou smiled.
Then, he asked all the Professionals to stand up and realized that he had summoned 235 Professionals this time!
There were 29 more Professionals than usual!
Then, he began to check the information of these Professionals Subjects.
Among the 206 Professionals Subjects
were one Diamond-Tier Intermediate Grade Martial Master, one Diamond-Tier Intermediate Grade Pudao Soldiers, one Diamond-Tier Intermediate Demon Warlock, one Diamond-Tier Intermediate Blacksmith, and two Diamond-Tier Intermediate Grade Architects!
The rest were Diamond-Tier Elementary Grade and below Life Professionals and Combat Professionals.
Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
It felt good to summon six talents attracted by his Reputation Rating a day.
Back then, when Zhao Changshou first arrived, he was only a White Platinum-Tier Advance Grade architect as a talent attracted by his Reputation Rating.
Among the Subjects he summoned normally, there were two Diamond-Tier Intermediate Grade architects, not to mention the other four Diamond-Tier Intermediate Grade Professionals.
Looking at it this way…
He has really improved a lot recently.
Zhou Zhou smiled, but there was no pride.
He knew that he still had a long way to go.
The achievement he had now was nothing compared to his goal.
Then, he asked the staff beside him to arrange the work of these new subjects. Just as he was about to bring the soldiers to clean up the Time Ruins, a soldier suddenly rushed over from afar and came in front of him.
“Your, Your Majesty, many refugees came from afar and said… said that they want to join our Blazing Sun Kingdom and become Subjects of our Blazing Sun Kingdom.”
He panted and his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen an extremely shocking scene.
Zhou Zhou was a little surprised.
He had the White Silver-Tier Lord Talent, Embrace of the Conqueror. Due to his reputation, hundreds or even thousands of refugees would come from afar to join his territory every day.
Wasn’t this very normal?
Why was he so fl.u.s.tered?
Was he a Newcomer?
“It’s okay.”
“Just accept them as subjects of our country.”
Zhou Zhou replied casually, not paying much attention to this matter.
“Your Majesty, it’s not that we don’t want to accept it. The situation is really beyond our control. We don’t know how to deal with it. Vice City Lord Zheng specially asked me to come over and invite Your Majesty to take a look.” The soldier said.
Zhou Zhou was stunned.
Uncle Zheng asked for me to go over?
“Let’s go.” Zhou Zhou changed his mind and immediately said.
If Zheng Yuanqi really asked him to come over, something was probably wrong.
What’s going on?
Zhou Zhou was puzzled.
What sort of problems could the refugees cause?
Zhou Zhou took the Starry Night s.p.a.ceship and arrived at the city wall of the Supreme Defence.
The reason why he took the s.p.a.ceship was not because Zhou Zhou was lazy but because the current Blazing Sun King was too big.
The territory that his upgraded territory increased was not the territory of the entire kingdom, but only the area of the Blazing Sun Kingdom!
How big was the Diamond-Tier Intermediate Grade Blazing Sun Kingdom now?
The answer: A total of 80 million square kilometers!
In the past, the surface area of the Earth he was on was only 510 million square kilometers.
The area of the entire Blazing Sun Kingdom alone had already reached one-sixth the size of Earth!
It sounded exaggerated.
However, in the High Continent that could accommodate the Lords of all races fighting each other, such a small area was probably equivalent to the surface area of a grain of sand in the desert.
It was precisely because the current size of the Blazing Sun Kingdom was too exaggerated that Zhou Zhou came over on the Starry Night.
When he climbed up the city wall and saw the refugees under the city wall, he was immediately dumbfounded by the scene in front of him.
“F*ck! What’s going on?”
“Your Majesty, do you know why I had no choice but to invite you over?” Zheng Yuanqi, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, could not help but smile bitterly when he heard Zhou Zhou’s words.
Zhou Zhou said nothing.
His gaze landed outside the city wall on the endless tide of refugees.
Among these refugees, most of them actually looked to have good living conditions. They looked like they were wearing gold and silver. Many refugees even emitted an obvious Extraordinary-Tier aura.
Why are you refugees when you’re so rich and are at the Extraordinary-Tier?
Zhou Zhou was shocked.
“They’re all refugees?”
Zhou Zhou could not help but ask.
“Yes.”
Zheng Yuanqi answered honestly.
“How many are there?”
“No statistics, but according to my estimate, there are probably a million refugees.”
Zhou Zhou: “…”
Is the world crazy or am I crazy? How could there be a million refugees?
Is there a large-scale war nearby? Is that why a large number of Subjects were displaced and looking for a new home?
Zhou Zhou was filled with question marks.
