It was obvious that no one would believe such a bold claim to conquer seven cities in five days!
Those seven cities were all part of the eight strongholds of Flaming Flame City!
In each of the seven cities, there were the best warriors in the entire Flaming Cloud Region, the most loyal higher-ups of Flaming Cloud City, and the most powerful defensive formations!
Forget about attacking the cities, even if they took turns to tour the seven cities within five days, it would still be too late!
So, when Chen Xiaobei said those words, no one dared to believe it!
But five days later, Chen Xiaobei had successfully achieved his goal!
All seven cities were under his banner!
Actually, this was completely reasonable!
Flaming Lion City was the hardest to conquer among the eight strongholds of Flaming Flame City! The remaining seven cities were not as good as Flaming Lion City!
Chen Xiaobei used the same tactic. First, he used No.8 Luban to get close to the governors of each city, then he killed them and subdued their Nascent Souls!
Next, he used No.8 Luban to summon all the big fish and prawns in the city. Each of them was given a Heavenly Dog Biscuit, and they became loyal dogs!
This way, Chen Xiaobei had control over the seven cities!
Finally, he used the high-grade Heavenly Dog Biscuit to turn all the soldiers in the cities into his own soldiers!
After that, Chen Xiaobei had control over the seven cities!
With the military and political power in Chen Xiaobei's hands, these seven cities naturally came under Beixuan's banner!
After this round of operation, Chen Xiaobei not only took over the seven cities, but also gained a considerable amount of rewards!
First of all, the Nascent Souls of the seven cities' governors became Chen Xiaobei's ghost slaves! These guys' cultivation were all in the middle phase of Seven-star Earth-God. Although their physical bodies were destroyed, their cultivation did not decrease at all. To Chen Xiaobei, this was equivalent to gaining a powerful combat force!
Secondly, Chen Xiaobei gained a total of seven mid-phase Seven-star Earth-God items from them! From them, he chose the Water Dividing Mystic Blade and the Earth Suppressing Warhammer to activate the Five Elements Dao!
The remaining five items were like chicken ribs in Chen Xiaobei's hands. They were tasteless, so he put them back into the furnace and refined them.
The huge amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Force produced could help him upgrade many of his trump cards.
After that, Chen Xiaobei looted all seven of their central treasure vaults and took all the resources!
These seven treasure vaults were slightly smaller than the treasure vault in Fiery Lion City, but the resources within them were extremely abundant as well! Once all of it went into the Bei Xuan national treasury, it would be at least ten times more than the original resources!
In the next twenty to thirty years, Beixuan Royal City would not have to worry about resources! He could reward meritorious officials as much as he wanted and nurture talents as much as he wanted!
Apart from the basic resources, there were a total of five billion high-grade Spiritual Stones in the seven treasure vaults!
After collecting all of them, Chen Xiaobei had 6.16 billion high-grade Spiritual Stones in his vault!
Before this, the total wealth of Beixuan Royal City was only 5.5 billion. After this round of manipulation, the wealth had more than doubled!
No wonder those with power and influence liked to start wars!
This was because they could quickly obtain a huge amount of benefits from war!
In the end, they found a total of thirty treasure chests in the seven main cities!
Ten of them were of little value to Chen Xiaobei. Although they contained high-grade treasures, they had no practical use. So, Chen Xiaobei melted them back into the cauldron!
The other ten treasure chests contained rare and high-grade Earth-God items. Although Chen Xiaobei had no use for them, they were extremely rare. He could keep them and sell them at Dong Sheng Chamber of Commerce for a good price!
The last ten treasure chests contained medicinal herbs, metals, and ores. Not only were they high-grade, but they were also extremely rare. Most importantly, Chen Xiaobei might need them in the future! Naturally, Chen Xiaobei had to take care of these items personally and carry them with him at all times!
…
So far, Chen Xiaobei had not only taken down seven main cities in five days, he had also earned a fortune!
Back to Fiery Lion City!
In the meeting hall of the governor's mansion!
Chen Xiaobei, Liu Xuanxin, Xiangyu, Ying Zheng, the nine Grand Magi, and Zhang Chuteng were all there!
Other than them, Jia Sheng, Jia Si, E Huo Yunshan, Huo Ming, Huo Zhao, Huo Yao, Huo Mang, Yan Hui, Yan Feng, and Yan Ren, the seven Nascent Soul Cultivators of the seven main cities were all there!
"Tomorrow is the day the Fiery Cloud Army arrives at Giant Axe City!"
Chen Xiaobei sat on the main seat and said, "After these few days of hard work, I have successfully taken down the eight strongholds of Flaming Mountain! I have more than ten thousand soldiers and 130 million mercenaries under my command! My wealth and resources are uncountable! I think I can fight the Fiery Cloud Army head-on! "
"Your Majesty is right! We have been holding back for so long. It's time to fight the Fiery Cloud Army to the death! "
Xiangyu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have trained the five million Fiery Lion Heavy-Armored Guards that you gave me for five days. They are at their peak! I am willing to be the vanguard to defeat the enemy!"
Ying Zheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have trained the twelve million Fiery Cloud Army well! Every one of them is filled with fighting spirit and they are like wolves and tigers! Your Majesty, please let me lead the army and be the vanguard to defeat the enemy! "
"Let me be the vanguard … Let me be the vanguard …" At the same time, the nine Grand Magi also stood up. All of them wanted to be the first to contribute to the war!
"Everyone, please be quiet! We don't need a vanguard in this war!
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei smiled evilly and said, "I have asked Bai Feng Changyi to inform E Huo Yuntian about the news of the Eight Flaming Strongholds being breached!"
E Huo Yuntian is furious. He has ordered all the remaining soldiers in Fiery Cloud Kingdom to attack Fiery Lion City before sunrise tomorrow! "
…
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"What?! Why did you do this?! "
Xiangyu frowned. "We have been keeping this a secret for the past five days. We did not let the outside world know that the Eight Fiery Fortress has changed owners! This is so that we can ambush E Huo Yuntian's rear during the final battle! "
"Your Majesty has leaked the secret. Not only have we lost the chance to ambush them, but we will also be forced to be on the defensive!"
"That's right! Your Majesty, what are you thinking?! "
Zhang Chuteng was puzzled as well. "Fiery Cloud Kingdom has fifty million soldiers! There are only ten million soldiers in this war! If the remaining forty million soldiers attack Fiery Lion City, we will not be able to defend it! Even if we get reinforcements from the other seven cities, we will not be able to make it in time! "
"Who said that I am going to send reinforcements?"
Chen smiled calmly and said, "Do you still remember? I told you a long time ago that the day of the final battle will not be the day of my death. It will be the day that Fiery Cloud Kingdom changes owners! "
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this.
