Between Zhuge Qi and Zhou Chong, one was the strategist of the Tiger Seven Armies, while the other was the commander. This was something that had been approved by their Lord.
After a few months of hard work, they had stabilized their foothold on the mountain. Now, the foreign races basically did not dare to come to the first layer of the human race's territory to hunt.
According to Zhuge Qi's plan, he would steadily push out his foothold until it was close to the foreign races' territory.
Whether or not they could hunt or obtain resources was secondary. The main thing was to gain a foothold and digest the territory in front of them step by step.
Stone City was not like the Great Five Alliance. After operating in Mount Buzhou for so many years, its power was intertwined. Even after being attacked and divided several times, it still relied on its huge foundation to firmly control the resources at the foot of the mountain.
If not for the strong support of Jubao Hall and the support of the army, Stone City would not have been able to develop to this stage.
However, Zhuge Qi knew Stone City's weakness. The Great Five Alliance also knew Stone City's weakness.
This was Ye Tianze.
He was the core that maintained Stone City's interests. Without him, the foreign aid of Stone City would turn against them.
Lan Yuheng of Jubao Hall was Ye Tianze's brother, but he could not change the nature of Jubao Hall's core.
The army's commander, Lu Xiufu, wanted the balance between Stone City and the Great Five Alliance.
If Stone City did not achieve his initial vision, Lu Xiufu would quickly abandon Stone City. He might even directly put Stone City under the army's control.
Lu Xiufu did not want to personally fight the Great Five Alliance. This was because of his different status. However, if there was no other choice, he would definitely do so. Even if Stone City really grew, Lu Xiufu would secretly support the Great Five Alliance to suppress Stone City in order to maintain the balance. This was the only way to maintain the army's authority. Maintaining the army's authority was also maintaining the Human Emperor's authority.
On the day when night fell, rumors spread everywhere, but Lu Xiufu knew very well that as long as the Renhuang had not fallen, the sky of the Human Race would be the sky of the Renhuang.
No one was qualified to steal the Divine Tool. Lu Xiufu would only be loyal to the Human Sovereign.
If one day something happened to Ye Tianze, even if he didn't die, it would be a huge blow to Stone City.
Therefore, Zhuge Qi's strategy was to allow Stone Castle to survive without Ye Tianze.
As such, they naturally needed enough benefits to maintain the temporary alliance with Stone City.
Although the mission of breaking apart the Big Five Alliance was very effective, Zhuge Qi clearly knew that with the size of the Big Five Alliance, it was possible to hurt them. However, if they really wanted to destroy the Big Five Alliance and make them follow Stone City, it would take at least a hundred years.
And that was if the weather was good for a hundred years.
Therefore, Lee Chao-young's suggestion to divide the five alliances could only be implemented as a tactical choice.
If it was used strategically, it would affect the entire Stone City.
Tactically, it would create discord within the Big Five Alliance to achieve the goal of preventing the Big Five Alliance from forming a fist and attacking Stone City.
Strategically speaking, they wanted Stone City to develop into a giant under the situation where the Five Great Alliance was always divided. They were building one path on the surface but building another in the dark.
When the Big Five Alliance reacted and wanted to destroy Stone City, they would find that they had to pay an unbearable price. Many people's vested interests would also suffer immeasurable losses.
In this way, even if Ye Tianze wasn't there, or if Ye Tianze disappeared one day, Stone City could still stand on Mount Buzhou.
When Zhuge Qi heard the news from the second level and learned about Ye Tianze's words, he immediately smiled bitterly.
He was fine with it, but Zhou Chong was a little annoyed. He said, "What can we do if he's going to leave all the work to us? The benefits of the first floor must be divided between the Northern Region and the Eastern Alliance. Otherwise, how can they support us? But we also have to maintain our advantage and enter the second level. Naturally, it's the best choice to let the geniuses explore the path first. "
"Haha, the City Lord just can't bear to lose the people under his command. Although many people came from Tiannan, there's a limit to the number of people who can enter. The army has already given enough support and even used the quota of the Human Emperor's Palace."
Zhuge Qi said. "Without fresh blood, Lord White Tiger's army will naturally be weakened. The quota will definitely decrease in the future. We still have to work hard."
"We need people everywhere, and we can't completely trust the people of the Alliance. That's just asking our own people to be slaves. He's so happy to throw all the work to us."
Zhou Chong said, "Won't he consider our feelings?"
"He gave us such good resources and such a large territory. That's what he did well." Zhuge Qi said. "If we drag him down, the City Lord will naturally be dissatisfied."
"We're not dragging him down. I don't understand why he's so impatient. After taking so many territories, he actually needs to relax and digest them. The faster we expand, the less people we have, the more people we can gather."
Zhou Chong said.
"Isn't there going to be a group of students coming to the Divine General's Estate?"
Zhuge Qi said. "I've already informed the instructors of the General's Estate. This group of students will directly enter the stone city and won't enter the army."
"I'm afraid the four armies will be dissatisfied?" Zhou Chong said worriedly.
"If they're dissatisfied, then so be it. What we're doing in Mount Buzhou is for the sake of the entire Human Race. If we can get the fate of Mount Buzhou, our Human Race will produce more Emperor Realm experts."
Zhuge Qi said. "In the past, the Human Race couldn't climb the mountain because fate couldn't gather. There were few experts below the Human Emperor Realm, and the number of Emperor Realm experts could be counted with one hand. But now, as long as fate gathers, the number of Emperor Realm experts will increase exponentially. Without fate, everything is in vain. No matter how hard you cultivate, you'll always lack a little bit of luck. You're obviously talented, but you can only stop at the Heaven Realm and die of old age."
Zhou Chong nodded. Fate was a very mysterious thing. The fate born from the Ancestral Dragon Vein could only support five super experts.
Once the number exceeded five, it would trigger a calamity. However, the advancement of a Martial Emperor also required luck and destiny.
Fifty thousand years ago, the Human Race defeated the four races in Mount Buzhou. They occupied more than half of the territory and even had the magnificent feat of climbing the mountain in one go.
At that time, the Human Race experts rushed out like bamboo shoots after the rain, and Emperor Realm experts were everywhere.
At that time, the Human Race could be said to be the strongest Human Race in the world. It could even be said that they were the strongest race in that era.
Unfortunately, Mount Buzhou was defeated and the Human Race lost a great opportunity. The agreement of Mount Buzhou destroyed the Human Race's hegemony.
For fifty thousand years, although the Human Race was one of the five major races in the Untainted Land, their talents had withered. If it wasn't for the Human Emperor holding the line and guarding the bottom line, the Human Race would have been driven out of the Untainted Land, or even exterminated.
Zhou Chong nodded and said, "That brat Tang Tianjun will come, right? The City Lord has said that only he can lead the Fire Division. Moreover, as the people of the Futian Clan join the Fire Division, these guys don't seem to be convinced by the old generals of the Tiger Guards. "
"The Futian Clan is famous among the Seven Ancient Legions of the Human Race. I have a feeling that the City Lord wants to re-establish the Seven Ancient Legions."
Zhuge Qi said. "And Tang Tianjun, the City Lord has high hopes for him, and may even be groomed as a Great Emperor. I don't know why the City Lord has such thoughts."
"The City Lord has just broken through the Earth Realm, and he's thinking so far ahead?" Zhou Chong said sarcastically.
During this time, because of many trivial matters, Zhou Chong had a lot of complaints. He delayed his cultivation and gave up such a good place like Mount Buzhou. There were so many resources here, but he didn't cultivate. Instead, he used all of them to plan the next step with Zhuge Qi.
Ye Tianze had sent him a direct message, which naturally made him unhappy.
"Next time, you have to watch your words. He's the City Lord now, and also the authority of Stone City. We can't embarrass him, or else …"
Zhuge Qi said.
"I know, I'm just complaining. In front of outsiders, I won't say that. If any outsider dares to say that to me, I'll kill him!"
Zhou Chong knew very well where his position was. Grumbling was one thing.
He now knew very well that this was no longer the Imperial Dragon Realm. He and Ye Tianze couldn't be on equal footing. He had to protect Ye Tianze's authority because they were now a community of interests.
Most importantly, Stone City was working hard for one goal. This was also the reason why Zhou Chong willingly joined Stone City and "worked like a horse" for Ye Tianze.
Otherwise, with his pride, how could he be easily manipulated by Ye Tianze?
The men of the Divine General's Estate would rather die than lower their heads.
"Since you know, then do you understand the City Lord's meaning?" Zhuge Qi asked.
"This …" Zhou Chong felt strange and said, "What's the deeper meaning of him scolding us?"
"Look at you. Back then, the Divine General told you to learn more about concealing yourself, but you didn't learn. Now you know the pain."
Zhuge Qi said angrily.
"It also depends on the person. The City Lord, as long as you have the ability, he dares to use you. He doesn't stick to one pattern. That's the real courage of a leader. If I scold him right, even if I scold him to his face, he won't kill me in anger."
Zhou Chong said with a smile, "Tell me, what does he mean?"
Zhuge Qi couldn't do anything about him. He immediately told Zhou Chong what he figured out. Zhou Chong was annoyed when he heard it, "Isn't he asking us to be cowards and fight with more people? How can we grow then? Besides, if the geniuses don't explore, then who will? An army? "
"We already have a spear." Zhuge Qi said.
"You mean …" Zhou Chong suddenly understood.
"You're right. The City Lord made this spear himself. The people he sent brought the distribution map of the Well of Vitality on the second floor, as well as the location of many resources."
Zhuge Qi said, "It is said that he has just set the rules in the Yang Valley on the second floor."
"So, we don't need to fight with these monsters at all?" Zhou Chong smiled bitterly.
"Yes, there's no need. We need to use our advantage to defeat them and subdue them." Zhuge Qi said, "So, do you still think he's a hands-off shopkeeper? No, he just unknowingly finished a lot of things. What we need to do is just to finish up. You're lucky to have met such a City Lord. "
Zhou Chong blushed and suddenly felt ashamed.
