Chapter 429 Surprising News

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Jia Zhengjin traveled day and night, and returned to Shenglong City in only six days.

For his return, the generals guarding the fortress, such as Varion, Alvin, Moses, and Leo, were all rejoicing.

"Has anything happened in the city recently?" After arriving at the fortress, Jia Zhengjin's heart was finally relieved along the way. The feeling of being home is really the best!

"Report to Lord Keen!" Varian, the most powerful of these generals, immediately stepped forward and replied, "It's still the same in recent days. Due to the pressure of the war, few people will pass this road! There is no big one in the city. Things, everyone's labor, training, patrolling, everything is going on in an orderly manner. Everyone is actively preparing for the battle, and no time is wasted!"

"Yeah!" Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Is there any news about the surrounding area?"

"Our intelligence collection unit does have some good news!" Varyn replied, "The Xiongfeng Empire seems to be in a bad situation in the battle against the Otto Empire and the Storm Alliance Army! Because of the lack of guards, the City of Light has already It was occupied by the Storm Alliance Army, and the Otto Empire also occupied the Xiongfeng Empire's Valley City! Under pressure, the Xiongfeng Empire is ready to sue for peace, and is willing to exchange Claude's body for the temporary retreat of the Otto Empire and the Storm Alliance Army."

"This is indeed good news!" Jia Zhengjin nodded with a smile on his face. If Claude's body is brought back, after resurrecting him, he will be able to get the spring of life of the elves. With the fountain of life, he, Tina, Palin, Christina, and even the people around him can live a long life! Who would think that they live a long time and live young forever? Right?

"Also," Varian continued, "The king of the Otto Empire seems to want to strengthen our relationship with us, so he has prepared a large amount of gold and silver treasures and is going to send envoys to escort them over."

"Oh? How many gold coins are there?!" Jia Zhengjin asked hurriedly, he was more concerned about this.

"There is no explanation in this information!" Varian replied, "Do you need me to send a letter with fruit essence to ask?"

"That's okay...forget it!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a while, "It's not necessary! Let's talk about it when the things arrive!"

"yes!"

"Other than that, no other good news?"

"Yes!" Varyn thought for a while, "Mrs. Tina ordered the expansion of the Holy Dragon City, and now the third urban area has been divided, which is about three times the sum of the original inner city and outer city. Size! The construction of the city wall is going very smoothly, and about one-tenth of the progress has been completed so far, and we have not been attacked by any monsters or wild creatures during the period, and our army continues to patrol around."

"The city has been expanded?" Jia Zhengjin was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Tina would have such courage when he was not around, "But why the sudden expansion? Isn't our outer city still empty with a lot of construction areas? "

"Report to Lord Keene!" Varien replied, "Actually, it is because we got a piece of news a few days ago that there is a Mirtai tribe on the side of the Bait Empire, who was originally a citizen of the Mirtai Kingdom. Their country is in a It was breached by the Bait Empire a few years ago. Although the entire Mirtai tribe resisted desperately, they were powerless and had to hide in the mountains. The Mirtai Kingdom recently heard the news about the Holy Dragon City and learned that Lord Keen You have a kind heart and are willing to shelter any suffering group, so you are ready to come here for refuge. A kind messenger passing by sent their help letter to our city. Because of this, Madam Tina ordered the expansion of the city immediately, Build a dwelling for the Mirtai!"

"Where did they hear about the Holy Dragon City? Who said that I am willing to protect any suffering group..." Jia Zhengjin suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he said this, "I'll go! It must be that big bastard Connie! What does she want? what?"

"Lord Keen, do you think it's inappropriate to accept the Mirtai people?" Varien saw Jia Zhengjin's face change,

Hastily asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to lead the troops and drive them back?"

Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin couldn't help but look at Varian. This guy is really ruthless, but he is obviously thinking about himself.

But he wasn't that hard to talk to, he just felt depressed about Connie doing things outside. Besides, Sacred Dragon City is big enough anyway, and doesn't mind accepting some refugees: "Since you agreed, there is no need to go back on your word! Tina promised me that it's the same!"

"Yes, Lord Keane is merciful!" Varian laughed immediately.

"By the way! What about the Mirtai tribe? Are there hundreds of people who have come to seek refuge this time?" Jia Zhengjin asked.

Varian shook his head.

"Thousands of people?" Jia Zhengjin asked again.

Varian shook his head again.

"How many people are there? Don't keep shaking your head!" Jia Zhengjin said displeased.

"Report to Lord Keen," Varian replied hastily, "According to the letter from the Mirtai tribe, they themselves said that there are 23,477 people in total!"

"How much?" Jia Zhengjin thought he had heard wrong, and stared at Varyn with wide eyes.

"Lord Keane, 23477 people!" Varian repeated.

"More than 23,000 people? Are you kidding me?" Jia Zhengjin originally thought that there were only a few hundred people, and at most there were only a thousand people. But he didn't expect that the number Varian reported to him was more than 23,000! I go! How many times is this number the number of people in Holy Dragon City? You must know that apart from the kobolds and imperial troops that he summoned, the city residents that the entire Sacred Dragon City really accepts are only a little over six or seven thousand!

Seeing that Jia Zhengjin was frightened by this number, Varien hurriedly said: "It's absolutely true! Unless the Mirtai people are lying, it's your number! At first we were shocked when we saw it."

"No wonder Tina wants to expand the area to more than double the size of the original city, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to live in it!" Jia Zhengjin's mouth twitched. There are more than 23,000 people! The sudden addition of so many people made him feel a little worried.

It's not because of the food problem. With the farmland system, they can be completely self-sufficient, even faster than the current hoarding speed! It’s just that the problem of work distribution for so many people is very distressing. There is no industry in Shenglong City now. Except for mining, it is tree cutting and fishing. Even if half of the tens of thousands of people go to farm, the rest will be very Difficult to distribute them all! Do you want them to idle around and have nothing to do every day?

its not right! He changed his mind and thought again, it is really impossible to recruit a large number of soldiers from it, this is a solution! Anyway, the war is imminent, and I need more troops, don't I?
