Outside Yao Mountain City, Ji Xia was wearing a coarse cloth and barefoot. His lower legs were covered in mud, and he was standing in a farmland, happily looking at those Yao Mountain people who had been transplanting rice seedlings in the fields.
Pinching a green seedling with his left hand, Ji Xia murmured in praise, "What a fertile land! Farming can feed countless clansmen. It's good indeed, but our clansmen don't have to fight against wild beasts in the forest, which makes us less manly. "
As a man who grew up in Southern Wasteland jungle, he had been dealing with all kinds of fierce beasts since he was a little kid. Southern Wasteland jungle lacked farming land, so men had to fight against wild beasts with weapons, hunt for beast meat to feed their families, and worship their clansmen.
Compared to Southern Wasteland people, Pu Ban City was rich, but ordinary people in Pu Ban City were indeed less manly.
"We can't do less training." Ji Xia rubbed his chin, seriously grinned to an elder who was standing not too far away and said, "When we finish this farm work, we have to gather our kids and train them harder. The world is not peaceful, so we need to be good at killing, so that our clansmen can live a better life. "
The clan elder chuckled, glanced at Ji Xia with respect and admiration, then politely responded with a 'yes'.
Near and far away, many Yao Mountain people who had been busy working in farmlands responded loudly as well, and their laughter spread far away along with the wind. Their eyes were filled with sincerity when they looked at Ji Xia. As Earl Yao's father, as a powerful Divine Magus, Ji Xia was willing to abandon his status and work in farmlands like the most ordinary clansmen, which deeply touched his clansmen.
Imperceptibly, Ji Xia had already gained the admiration and respect of all clansmen in Yao Mountain territory.
In the distance, on a broad road, a group of light cavalries, who were responsible for patrolling the territory, ran quickly across. Hundreds of warriors, who were wearing leather armors and mounted on huge, cyan-colored wolves, swept across the ground. Wherever they went, countless children, who were carrying wooden sticks and stone axes, followed them and ran excitedly, shouting "Oh! Oh!" from time to time.
Ji Xia happily looked at those lively kids, laughed happily and said, "They are all a bunch of good kids. Hehe, train them well, and they will all be good kids in the future."
Bending down, Ji Xia carefully inserted the seedling in his hand into the soft, watery field, then straightened his body and yelled, "Oh right, we've killed a large group of wild beasts in the past couple of days. The meat should have been cleaned and eaten by now. Every household will have half a bowl of meat. Remember to collect the meat as soon as you finish your work. "
Clapping his hands, Ji Xia grinned and said, "Let those kids eat more meat, grow bigger, and when they grow up, marry more wives, and have more kids! Hehe, cubs will give birth to cubs, and there will be no end to the number of cubs. Only then can the territory become stronger, and only then can the tribe become stronger! "
Ji Xia's words were simple and honest. In this era, if a clan wanted to be strong, if it wanted to be strong, if it wanted to be strong, didn't it have to rely on its cubs to give birth to more cubs? As long as there were more males, and there were more warriors among the males, the strength of the tribe would naturally be stronger.
Countless people who had been working hard in the surrounding area laughed out loud together. Everyone laughed from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially those people who used to be slaves, but were bought by Ji Hao and released as free people, some of them were so excited that they couldn't help but have tears flowing out of their eye corners.
They never thought that they could live a good life like this. They had their own farmlands, their own houses, and from time to time, Ji Xia would distribute beast meat to every household, letting their kids eat until their stomachs were full.
What a good leader! These people were so excited. Right now, they could even die for Ji Hao, for Ji Xia, for Yao Mountain territory.
'Dang, dang, dang', shrill alarm bells suddenly came from a long distance away. From the horizon, hundreds of miles away, a black stream of smoke rose into the sky, followed by tens of other streams of smoke. Soon, alarm bells could be heard from all directions, as over a thousand streams of smoke rose into the sky one after another.
On the four city gates of Yao Mountain City, the alarm bells cast from divine gold rang resonantly. The bell rings even quaked the earth slightly. Within a second, the sound waves spread across a big half of Yao Mountain territory, covering nearly a million miles.
A buzzing noise came from underground. On the fence wall of Yao Mountain City, countless hazy silhouettes of dragons, phoenixes, Qilins, and other legendary creatures flashed across, while large waves of ancient divine spell symbols emerged from the fence wall. Streams of seven-colored light and warm mist rose from Yao Mountain City, covering the entire Yao Mountain City and all surrounding towns and villages. A ten-thousand-miles-wide magic screen enveloped the entire Yao Mountain City and all surrounding towns and villages.
The earth quaked intensely. Ji Xia gave a resonant roar, rose into the sky, transformed into a fiery beam of light, and flew into Yao Mountain City.
Ji Zhuo, the Gold Crow Clan's Divine Magus brought by Ji Xia from Southern Wasteland, hurriedly walked over and shouted, "Brother, the outermost fort in the northeast is destroyed. Not a single one of a thousand boys in the fort survived."
Buzz! Right beside Ji Xia and Ji Zhuo, a rectangular divine mirror that was cast from divine gold floated out. The mirror was a hundred and twenty meters tall and sixty meters wide, glowing with a faint golden light. On the surface of the mirror, countless images had been flashing quickly.
That was the outermost fort in the northeast of Yao Mountain territory. Normally, a thousand warriors were stationed in this fort, under the command of three senior-level commanders. These warriors were responsible for dispersing wild beasts that approached villages in Yao Mountain territory, and killing some wild beasts that might pose a threat to villages.
This fort was entirely made of molten lava. It was a small fort built by Ji Xia according to the standard style of the armies of the ancient human emperors after he inherited the legacy of the ancient Great Supreme Magus, Ji Liao. This fort had a very good defensive power, and could communicate with the other forts from a distance. Once it was attacked, over a thousand forts in the entire territory would move accordingly.
What was shown in the mirror was exactly what happened just now.
A hundred silhouettes rose into the sky from a great river that was less than ten miles away from the fort. They tore the air apart and swiftly flew towards Yao Mountain City, leaving visible white traces in the air. When they flew above the fort, one of them raised his right hand and slightly pressed down. Immediately, the hundreds of meters squared fort was shattered, leaving a mile in radius handprint that sank hundreds of meters deep into the ground.
None of the one thousand warriors who were stationed in the fort survived. Nevertheless, as the fort was destroyed, the alarm system of Yao Mountain territory reacted immediately, and the Heaven and Earth great formation in Yao Mountain City was activated at full capacity.
The hundred silhouettes darted to the outside of the Heaven and Earth great formation at lightning speed. One of them gave a resonant shout, then each took out a dazzling, six-feet-long spear that was forged from an unknown type of crystal and heavily stuck it into the protective screen of the Heaven and Earth great formation.
Countless spell symbols burst from those short spears. The protective screen of the Heaven and Earth great formation quaked slightly. Faintly, countless spell symbols spread out, stirring up layers of ripples.
"They can actually break the protective screen of the Heaven and Earth great formation?" Ji Xia popped out his eyes in shock and said, "Bloody non-humankind beings, how did they get here?"
Ji Xia and Ji Zhuo turned to the north together. Over there was a large area of human territory. Without the help of human spies, how could a whole hundred Divine-Magus-level elite Jia Clan warriors possibly break into Yao Mountain territory without anyone noticing?
