Chapter 489 - 489 A New Wrinkle

489 A New Wrinkle

Early the following day, Li Xiang came to the meeting hall in high spirits.

Last night, he had sex with Yang Mi, which made him feel very comfortable today.

However, Yang Mi was still sleeping on the bed. She must have had too much fun last night.

In his palace, there were no maids or eunuchs. Other than the chefs, many things were done by the soldiers, which was indeed a little inconvenient.

!!

However, Li Xiang did not like to get eunuchs. People with physical disabilities were prone to have extreme emotions, so he would not want them unless necessary.

As for the maids, he didn’t have any taboos. It was likely to cause trouble when there were too many people, but it couldn’t do without them.

He didn’t have many women now, so it was fine. But if he took in more women in the future, he would need some people to do chores.

However, he intended to leave this matter to Yang Mi and the others to consider. He would not ask much about how to operate it.

After all, times had changed. In the new world, many rules and regulations established in the past would change for various reasons.

It would be fine if the changes aligned with the environment and in a good direction.

There were few people in the hall. Other than Ye Xi, there were only Alice and Alicia.

“Do you have something to say?”

Li Xiang would usually stay in the meeting hall to cultivate or handle affairs.

They showed up so early in the morning. They must have something to say.

Ye Xi glanced at Li Xiang, who was glowing with health, and said teasingly, “I thought that the Country Lord would be taking a break today. Didn’t expect you to be so diligent!”

Li Xiang coughed lightly, leaned on the throne, crossed his legs, and said, “If you have something to say, just say it. Maybe you will get my favors one day, so you have to be mentally prepared.”

Hearing this, Ye Xi turned red and glared at Li Xiang fiercely. She didn’t know if Li Xiang’s words were too powerful, but they made her heart confused. For a moment, she forgot what she had wanted to say. Her face turned red, and she was petrified on the spot.

Alice pouted her red lips slightly in jealousy. Compared to everyone else, she was the first hero recruited by Li Xiang. Whether it was her appearance or temperament, she felt that she was not inferior to anyone. Why had the Country Lord never revealed such thoughts? Instead, he had flirted with Ye Xi in front of her.

On the other hand, Alicia, standing beside her, looked indifferent and did not seem to mind.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the Great Hall.

Soon, Zhao Sheng, dressed in battle armor, entered the Great Hall. His face was filled with both joy and solemnity.

“Greetings, my Lord!”

With a crash, he knelt on one knee.

“Get up! You came in such a hurry. Did something urgent happen?”

Li Xiang could guess from his expression that something must have happened. Otherwise, he would not have rushed over in such a hurry.

However, Zhao Sheng’s mission yesterday was to clean up the underground and re-place the Rune Bombs. Then, he would ask the Mages to restore the underground of the City of Dawn.

Could there be something wrong with this matter?

“My Lord! Yesterday, I brought a group of soldiers to clear the Rune Bombs underground and the foreign races’ bodies, then restored the underground situation. However, we saw the tunnel left behind by the Scorpion race. I thought we might be able to find out something by following this tunnel. I was mainly curious about where they came from. If I could discover it, I could destroy the tunnel to avoid any hidden dangers. Who knew that as we were chasing, we would discover something!”

Zhao Sheng said quickly with excitement.

“Oh? What’s happening?”

“The Scorpion race has excavated a huge underground space about a hundred kilometers from our border. Now, many Human civilians were being imprisoned there. I only took a glance and noticed at least 100000 of them, but I felt the number must be much more than what I saw. More importantly, I saw a lot of Human civilians killed by the Scorpion race as food. They were eaten directly. It was too miserable to watch.”

“At the same time, I also heard that the remnants of the Scorpion race are hesitating whether or not they should use these Human civilians as sacrifices to some God of Demon. It won’t be long before they make a move, but I didn’t alert them because I brought too few people with me. So I immediately came back to report!”

Li Xiang’s expression changed slightly when he heard this.

If what he said was true, hundreds of thousands of people were under the threat of the Scorpion race. They could be eaten or sacrificed at any time.

“How dare they sacrifice our Human race to the God of Demon. The Scorpion race must be exterminated!”

Hundreds of thousands of people were not a small number for the Kingdom of Dawn.

Even if there were only one person, he would save him if he found out, let alone hundreds of thousands.

If such a large group of Humans could be rescued and integrated into the Kingdom of Dawn, they could create significant value whether they joined the army or went into production and life after training.

He pondered for a while and turned his head to look at Alice.

“Alice, take 10000 Rapid Blade Demons, 50000 Vine Whisker Demons, and 10000 Human warriors to rescue these Human civilians. Keep them safe under any circumstances. As for the Scorpion race, you must exterminate them all!”

“Yes! My Lord!”

Alice was a little unhappy just now, but now she was excited.

The fact that Li Xiang sent her out meant that he thought highly of her. This excited her greatly.

She knew this operation required the rescue of many Human civilians, so it had to be foolproof.

The City of Dawn had two military camps, one in the East and one in the West. They were initially for the use of angels and demons, but after the demonic and angelic realms were opened, the two military camps were left empty and given to the Human army.

At this moment, Alice began to gather the army with military orders.

Instantly, the entire military camp was in an uproar.

The Rapid Blade Demons, the Vine Whisker Demons, and the Human warriors gathered.

The military camp did not look big from the outside, but the inside was very spacious. It could accommodate 500000 troops without feeling crowded, just like an independent grotto-heaven world.

Besides, the outside of the military camp was shrouded in a thin layer of fog. The fog seemed thin, but no matter what method was used from the outside, it was impossible to see the situation inside the military camp. This was a kind of array restriction to prevent people from spying on military information.

The battle with the Alliance of Gods had just ended, and many soldiers were ordered to rest. But they were suddenly gathered together now, which naturally caused quite a stir.

Many people were very curious. The war had just ended, so was there another one? Who was the enemy?

“What’s the situation? I saw that the Liu family’s son had just returned from the military camp, and now he was in a hurry to go back. Is there going to be a war again?”
