Chapter 47 - 47 Unifying Duohuang

47 Unifying Duohuang

After successfully taking down Frank Street, Ning Shi didn’t bother about the matter of reinforcements.

He ordered Snow Fog to continue following him secretly with the large group while he led the extreme barbarians to Star Street, which was next to Frank Street.

It’s good that the reinforcements didn’t come. He can take down another street.

As soon as he walked into Star Street, the situation caught Ning Shi off guard.

An old foxman in a colorful feather robe stood at the entrance of the street with a group of beastmen.

!!

“Respected Lord Ning Shi, the Beastman Chambers of Commerce is willing to pledge loyalty to you. From now on, we will follow your command, obey your orders, and adhere to your rules.”

The Beastman Chambers of Commerce was a relatively large force in Duohuang, occupying three streets.

It had an extremely powerful beastman battle legion with 3000 members. Their combat strength was not inferior to the four major forces.

It could even be stronger.

The reason why they only occupied three streets was mainly due to the decline of the beastman race.

Without the support of a major power, they were suppressed and ostracized by humans.

The beastmen used to have a complete empire that ruled the vast and rich Duonau Plains. They believed in the God of the beastmen, Guevsh.

Guevsh’s divine concepts were power and war, so the beastmen advocated force and were keen on invasion and battles.

Relying on the powerful physique of the beastman warriors and the various magical abilities of the beastman shamans, the Beastman Empire engagd in wars everywhere and forced the humans to retreat. It was once extremely glorious.

Unfortunately, after the thousand-year catastrophe, the God of beastmen, Guevsh, no longer responded to the prayers of his believers, and all the beastman shamans lost their powers.

Humans, on the other hand, mastered the power of the bloodline and became stronger and stronger.

In the end, the Beastman Empire was destroyed by the joint forces of the humans and elves.

The Duonau Plains had been seized by the humans and the elves, and with the Duonau River as the boundary, the Elven Empire and the Brad Empire each ruled half of the plains.

The beastmen lost their homes, and the remaining tribes wandered to the undeveloped deserted north plains and settled down.

Due to the beastmen’s past invasion, humans had always pursued a strategy to suppress them.

Under such circumstances, it was already not easy for the Beastman Chambers of Commerce to rule three streets in Duohuang.

Ning Shi didn’t reject them. From a player’s point of view, they were all NPCs and he had no emotional bias. It was fine as long as they could be used by him.

“What’s your name?”

“I’m Fox, the president of the Beastman Chambers of Commerce.”

Ning Shi glanced at the strong beastman warriors behind Fox. There were bearmen, wolfmen, bullmen, and tigermen. It was obvious that they were all elite warriors of their tribes.

“President Fox, I can accept the surrender of the orc trade union, and I’ll give you the same treatment as humans.”

“However, I’ll make this clear. After you surrender, I’ll take in the beastman battle legion, and the Beastman Chambers of Commerce can only keep a guard team of less than 200 people.”

“Can you accept such a condition?”

Fox had obviously thought this through. He replied without any hesitation, “The Beastman Chambers of Commerce will listen to your arrangements. The beastman warriors worship strength. They have long wanted to join the extreme battle group. There won’t be any resistance to your recruitment.”

Ning Shi looked at Fox and nodded in satisfaction.

This Fox was obviously extremely intelligent, and he needed such a talent to help him govern Duohuang.

“As the first force to submit to me, I will not be stingy with my rewards.”

“Fox, after the unification of Duohuang, you may work in the City Hall. If you perform well, you’ll be appointed as the Minister of Trade and Economics.”

Fox’s old face bloomed like a flower as he knelt down and said loudly, “We’ll follow your arrangements, my Lord!”

After the Beastman Chambers of Commerce had surrendered, Ning Shi took down three more streets. He also had more powerful beastman warriors under his command, and the situation was great.

The meteoric heavy sword in Ning Shi’s hand was already thirsty. He couldn’t help but want to kill anyone who resisted and accumulate experience points to level up.

Unfortunately, things did not go as Ning Shi wished.

The submission of the Beastman Chambers of Commerce was like opening a door, and other forces behind the door surged in.

In just ten minutes, several forces had surrendered.

When Yelina brought her people to submit, nine forces of the freedom alliance had already defected and submitted to Ning Shi.

The fat on Yelina’s face trembled as she cursed in her heart, “A bunch of fence sitters and soft-legged shrimps.”

She turned around and knelt on one knee in front of Ning Shi.

“Lord Ning Shi, my name is Yelina, and I’m the leader of the Mercenary Alliance. Duohuang has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and the indigenous people here have long been in pain.”

“I’ve been waiting for so long, and finally, a hero like you has emerged. You’ll be able to sweep away the evildoers, unify the vast Duohuang, and bring us long-awaited order.”

“The Mercenary Alliance is willing to submit to you, my Lord, and contribute to your rule.”

Ning Shi was dumbstruck by these words.

Looking at Yelina’s meatball-like figure and fierce-looking face, Ning Shi thought that she was a strong general. Who knew that she was so skilled at flattering.

What he didn’t know was that the reason the Mercenary Alliance could become the fourth largest force in the vast wilderness was because of Yelina’s connections, allowing her to wander between the forces of the three great empires.

Ning Shi valued talents like Yelina who could become the leader of a force. He would not judge a person by their appearance and discriminate against her because of her obesity.

With Yelina’s surrender, there were no more obstacles in the entire Duohuang region. Wherever the extreme battle group went, all the forces would surrender.

[You’ve successfully occupied the entire Duohuang city and completed main storyline mission 3. Experience points +500000. The limit for recruiting servants has been increased to 5000.]

Ning Shi did not hesitate and directly contracted all the leaders of the chambers of commerce, mercenary groups, and battle legions on the street as his servants, including Fox and Yelina.

After that, he selected the strongest group of people from all the battle legions and filled up the 3000 slots for servants.

After a series of actions, the entire Duohuang was completely in Ning Shi’s hands, and there were no more actions.

Ning Shi abandoned the past battle legion arrangements and directly established a professional army.

As Duohuang was an extremely rich land and had a high proportion of soldiers, Ning Shi managed to gather an army of more than 50000 people.

A total of 4800 people, including extreme barbarians, gladiators, beastmen, and other elite warriors, formed the Undying Trump Troop, directly led by Ning Shi.

The warriors of the Undying Trump Troop all had super strong physiques and purple regeneration talent, and their close combat ability could be said to be invincible.

With the elf longbow group and the mage squad as the core, bloodline warriors and archers who were good at long-range attacks were selected. They formed the Duohuang Artillery Force with 20000 people, led by the star elf Snow Fog.

With the original warriors of the various forces in Duohuang as the foundation, the Duohuang City Guards was established, led by the former leader of the Mercenary Alliance, Yelina. It had 30000 people.

After organizing the troops, Snow Fog went to the City Lord’s mansion, where the Bloodline Chambers of Commerce used to be.

“Boss, as per your instructions, the blacksmith camp is already working hard on forging weapons and armors. The armors and weapons of the Undying Trump Troop have already been prepared, but there are still gaps in the artillery force and city guards.”

“In addition, we have to choose enough magical beasts as mounts for the army. Otherwise, they will naturally lack mobility in battle.”

Ning Shi nodded. In the game world, whether it was elves or humans, the trump troops were always cavalry. Not only were they highly mobile, but the combat power of the magical beasts was also very strong.

“Do you have a magical beast in mind?”

Snow Fog had a plan in mind, so she quickly replied, “The firepower that I’m leading is mainly for long-range attacks. We need lightweight magical beasts that can move extremely fast. I suggest that they all be equipped with beginner magical beasts, wind wolves.”

“Soldiers of the Undying Trump Troop are tall and strong, and are equipped with heavy armor and weapons. The mount must have a strong carrying capacity and must also maintain a certain speed. It is recommended to equip them with a intermediate magical beast, mammoth.”

“Mammoths have huge bodies and are good at earth magic. They are extremely fast when they are running on the ground, and their impact force is extremely strong. They are very suitable for a trump troop.”

Seeing that Ning Shi didn’t speak, Snow Fog continued.

“In Duohuang, the biggest magical beast trading entity is the Native Chambers of Commerce controlled by the Mercenary Alliance. The natives have been living in the deserted north plains for thousands of years and are very familiar with the magical beasts here.”

“According to boss’s request, we only broke up the battle legion belonging to the Chambers of Commerce and didn’t do anything to the their property and materials. This time, we can directly purchase the mounts from them.”

Ning Shi nodded. In order to protect the trade in the Duohuang, he did not seize any Chamber of Commerce’s wealth.

Of course, the properties of the streets, Chambers of Commerce, and forces that had previously been taken over by force were all confiscated.

“Magis, go and call Amy over.”

Magis left after receiving the order, and Amy walked in with a bow.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was slightly red. Ever since Ning Shi had taken over Duohuang, Amy had been in a state of excitement.

“Amy, we’ve destroyed 21 forces in total, including the Bloodline Chamber of Commerce and the Griffin Chambers of Commerce. How many resources have we obtained from that?”

“My Lord, after a preliminary count, we’ve collected a total of 15 million gold coins, over 300 land deeds and real estate, 110 thousand slaves, 34590 beginner magic cores, 13212 intermediate magic cores, and the rest of the weapons, armors, potions, minerals, gemstones, and other materials are all listed on this list. Please take a look.”

Ning Shi glanced at the list. It was densely packed and he was very satisfied.

As expected of the center of international trade in the game world, the wealth in Duohuang was simply too shocking.

It should be known that the Brad Empire’s annual tax was only about 10 million gold coins. Ning Shi had only destroyed 21 forces in Duohuang, and the gold coins collected were enough to cover one and a half years of an empire’s tax.

This did not even include the price of magic cores and other materials.

War was indeed the best way to get rich quickly. This was really a wave of profit.

“Snow Fog, what are the prices of mammoths and wind wolves? Can the Native Chambers of Commerce provide so many magical beasts?”

Snow Fog’s hair stood excitedly on end when she heard Amy’s report.

“20 gold coins for a wind wolf, 100 gold coins for a mammoth.”

Ning Shi was a little surprised. “It’s so cheap? I remember that an intermediate magic core is worth 100 gold coins. Why is the price of an intermediate magical beast different from an equivalent magic core? ”

“An average intermediate magical beast is worth around 50 to 60 gold coins, which is cheaper than an intermediate level magic core. This is because not all magical beasts have magic cores, and you may not even get a single magic core after killing a few magical beasts.”

“That is why magic cores are more expensive than magic beasts.”

“Mammoths are sold for 100 gold coins because they are top tier intermediate magical beasts.”

“As for the quantity, boss, you don’t have to worry about it. The Native Chambers of Commerce has two magical beast breeding grounds in the deserted north plains. Mammoths and wind wolves are the magical beasts that they have been focusing on breeding.

“We’ll buy them in bulk, so the price might be even more favorable.”

Ning Shi, however, waved his hand. “Just buy at the original price. Don’t pressure them to lower the price. We should not use our power as a ruler to interfere with the market.”

“The rules of the market can not be broken. Without a autonomous business environment, Duohuang will lose its vitality.”

Duohuang was built on commerce, and the more prosperous the commerce was, the more taxes Ning Shi collected.

As a ruler, Ning Shi was determined to maintain Duohuang’s business environment.
