The construction of the Hundred Thousand Mountains was still in full swing.
One after another, the Dragon Towers rose from the ground, and the experts of the Dragon Temple had been stationed there.
More than millions of soldiers and civilians were carrying out large-scale construction on the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The Prince Regent of the Raging Wave Kingdom, Zhi Ao (Ling Ao), was the supreme leader of these millions of soldiers and civilians. As the Governor of the three eastern provinces, Gui Xingfu was the chief civil official of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, responsible for the dispatch of all materials.
If it was for the family's wealth, Gui Xingfu would have been astonishingly rich long ago. A big project involving millions of people could be a mountain of gold and a sea of silver. Unfortunately, Gui Xingfu no longer needed money.
After a few days and nights of work, another Dragon Tower was completed. In order to speed up the progress, hundreds of people had died in this Tower.
Now that it was completed, Zhi Ao could finally return to White Cloud County City and have a good rest.
The current Raging Wave Kingdom, to a large extent, existed for the Hundred Thousand Mountains defense line. Almost all the power of the country was used to build this defense line. Especially after Lan Ling inherited the Demon Emperor, more than one-third of the country's young adults participated in the construction of the Hundred Thousand Mountains defense line, and the domestic production and construction were almost abandoned.
Not only that, more than half of the Raging Wave Kingdom's national treasury was also invested in the Hundred Thousand Mountains defense line.
As for the domestic, it could be said that the people had no way to make a living, and the land was full of starvation.
But strangely, the people of the Raging Wave Kingdom vented their complaints on Lan Ling. Because Tu Ningchen and the Dragon Temple had a huge propaganda team, which portrayed Lan Ling as an extremely evil and dark beast. Wherever his demon army passed, not even a blade of grass would grow, and the entire race would be exterminated. Regardless of men or women, they would be raped and killed by the demon army first, and then their flesh and blood would be used as military rations.
As for Lan Ling? Every day, he would ravage a hundred virgins to death. Every day, he would use a hundred babies to cook soup, and he would eat the flesh and blood of virgin boys and girls.
When a lie was repeated a thousand times, it would become the truth. Now, the people of the entire Raging Wave Kingdom were in a state of panic. They were desperately building the Hundred Thousand Mountains defense line, hoping that they could stop Lan Ling.
Although Lan Ling had yet to attack, the human nations already had a deep hatred for Lan Ling. Every morning, when they woke up, ate, and slept, they would curse Lan Ling.
…
Prince Regent Zhi Ao returned to his temporary residence in Baiyun County. His beautiful wife came up to him and gently flicked the dust off him. She said softly, "You must be tired. I'll go get the bath water and prepare dinner."
His wife came from the Hidden Island and was another sister of Fang Qingzhuo.
"En." Zhi Ao kissed his wife and said, "Where are the children?"
"He's studying," his wife said.
As they spoke, the two children rushed in and burrowed into Zhi Ao's arms, shouting, "Daddy, Daddy …"
Zhi Ao carried the two beautiful children and said, "What did Teacher teach you today?"
The two children fought to be the first to answer, "He taught us how bad Lan Ling is and how we can think of ways to destroy him."
"Good children …" Zhi Ao kissed the two children on their cheeks.
At this moment, a eunuch's voice sounded from outside.
"Your Highness, Duke Tu Ningchen requests an audience."
Zhi Ao's expression turned slightly cold. His wife said on his behalf, "He won't be meeting you."
Then, his wife said in a low voice, "A dog that relies on its master's power."
Ever since he curried favor with Fu Lingxi, Tu Ningchen often went against the ruling prince, Zhi Ao. They fought for power and did whatever they wanted. Now, Tu Ningchen had become one of the two major factions of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
"Let's meet him. He's the imperial envoy of the Dragon Temple," Zhi Ao said mockingly.
…
After a while, Tu Lingtuo's son, Tu Ningchen, came in. He elegantly bowed to Zhi Ao and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, the Prince Regent."
This former sworn brother of Yan Nai 'er, Liu Chen, was now middle-aged and had begun to grow a beard. He looked gentle and elegant, but he was also a handsome man.
"Duke Tu Lingxi, what's the matter? Did Her Majesty Fu Lingxi send a decree? "Zhi Ao asked.
In the eyes of the human kingdoms, any member of the Temple of the Sky could be addressed as "Her Majesty", regardless of whether they were the Sky Priest or the Sky Priest in waiting. This was because their power surpassed that of the human kings.
Tu Ningchen said, "I have a joyous news to tell Your Highness, Prince Zhi Ao."
"Oh? What's the joyous news? "Zhi Ao asked.
Tu Ningchen said, "Her Majesty will become the supreme commander of the Hundred Thousand Mountains defensive line of the Dragon Temple. Not only will she lead the tens of millions of troops of the Dragon Temple in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but she will also lead all the kingdoms in the south of the human kingdoms. Just yesterday, Her Majesty Jung Yeon was conferred the title of the Sky Priest in waiting, the Sky Inquisitor in waiting. As long as we win this war, she will be promoted to Sky Priest and become one of the rulers of the universe. "
Zhi Ao said, "That's indeed a joyous news. It's also the supreme glory of my Tu family."
Tu Ningchen said, "That's not all. After the war in the Hundred Thousand Mountains ends, Queen Jung Yeon will resign from her throne. At that time, Your Highness will become the supreme king of our Raging Wave Kingdom. I congratulate Your Majesty in advance. "
"I don't dare, I don't dare …" Zhi Ao said, "Everything is due to the kindness of the Dragon Temple."
"Yes, it's due to the kindness of the Dragon Temple." Tu Ningchen said, "Her Majesty Fu Lingxi told me that the strength of our Dragon Temple is ten times or even a hundred times stronger than Lan Ling. This war is a once and for all cleansing the universe. Lan Ling will die without a doubt. Therefore, the Dragon Temple is not only holy, but also invincible. "
Then, Tu Ningchen's expression changed slightly. "However, Her Majesty Fu Lingxi is a little unhappy. The construction of the Sky Piercing Dragon Pagoda in the Raging Wave Kingdom is a little behind."
Zhi Ao said, "We've tried our best. Nearly half of the labor force in the Raging Wave Kingdom has been invested in the construction of the Dragon Pagoda. Other production and construction in the country have almost completely stopped. The land is deserted, and we can't even plant food anymore. "
Tu Ningchen's expression turned cold. "Aren't there still women, old people, and children? Only by winning against Lan Ling can we have a future. What food to plant? What land to plant? Are they all going to build the Sky Piercing Dragon Pagoda? We'll think of a way to solve the food problem. "
In reality, they wouldn't think of a way.
The Dragon Temple was extremely powerful, but it couldn't produce food. Their solution was to build the Dragon Pagoda and tire themselves to death. The more people died, the less the shortage of food.
"I'll speed up the progress." Zhi Ao said, "Your Excellency Duke, please stay for a meal."
"No, I have to go to the Holy Priest." Tu Ningchen said.
After Fu Lingxi ascended to the throne, Yan Ping's status also rose. He actually became the Holy Priest cum Chief Inquisitor of Fengdu's Holy Dragon Temple. It was equivalent to the combination of Rogo and Ge Li, and he was extremely powerful in the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Moreover, Yan Ping's cultivation in the energy martial arts of the Dragon Temple had also reached the Venerable level.
…
At night, after gently coaxing the two children to sleep, Zhi Ao and his wife were affectionate.
After more than an hour, they finally calmed down. Then, they panted heavily.
His beautiful and gentle wife lay quietly in his arms, rippling like water. Her beauty was charming yet reserved, very dignified and virtuous.
"Husband, I heard that you'll soon become the king of the Raging Wave Kingdom." His wife said softly.
"Yes." Zhi Ao said.
"Are you unhappy?" His wife asked.
"Not really. I just dislike Tu Ningchen." Zhi Ao said.
His wife said, "Bear with it for now. After you become the king, I'll go home and tell father to get rid of Tu Ningchen. Although Fu Lingxi is powerful, Tu Ningchen doesn't mean much in her heart. Her adoptive father, Gui Xingfu, is also highly regarded by Fu Lingxi. Also, Fu Lingxi's backer is a little unstable now. He doesn't dare to offend our Hidden Island. "
"Yes …" Zhi Ao said, "I've really married a good wife. You're so dignified and skilled. You're really the best candidate to be the mother of the world."
His wife smiled softly and kissed Zhi Ao. "Actually, I don't really care if I'm the queen or not. What I care about is that you can achieve your ambition. I love seeing you in high spirits. I know that you've always wanted to prove that you're not worse than Søren. In my heart, you're the most amazing man."
Her words were like an aphrodisiac. Zhi Ao hugged his wife affectionately and lingered.
…
The next day, his trusted aide sent a message. City Lord Tu Liyang had sent a batch of resources to build Dragon Pagoda. He asked the defense line of the Hundred Thousand Mountains to send someone to receive it.
Prince Zhi Ao sent an official to receive it. However, before the official could leave, it was immediately revealed that he had embezzled resources for the construction of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The amount was more than a few hundred thousand gold coins.
Prince Zhi Ao was furious. He killed the official on the spot. Then, he personally went to the East Sea to receive the resources to show that he didn't trust these officials.
Two days later, Zhi Ao and City Lord Tu Liyang had a secret meeting on a ship on the surface of the sea.
Tu Liyang, Zhi Ao, and Fen Mo drank continuously, but they didn't speak.
Speaking of which, the Tu Liyang family, Fen Mo, and many of Søren's old direct descendants all relied on Zhi Ao's protection to survive. To a certain extent, Zhi Ao was their benefactor.
"Ling Ao, we want to do something big." Tu Liyang said.
Zhi Ao said, "What is it?"
Tu Liyang said, "To save the lives of humans, publicly declare our loyalty to Lan Ling, draw a clear line between us and the Dragon Temple, and blow up the Tong Tian Dragon Pagoda. Build a refuge area for humans in the Dongli Kingdom. All humans who oppose the Dragon Temple and are loyal to Lan Ling can enter the refuge area. However, Lan Ling is currently very hopeful for humans. We need to change his heart, so we need a shocking sacrifice. We need you because you are the Prince Regent of the Raging Wave Kingdom. You have enough weight. We need you to raise your arms and shout in front of millions of soldiers and civilians to swear your loyalty to Lan Ling, and blow up the Dragon Pagoda. "
At this moment, Jiang Xue walked in slowly and said, "Ling Ao, we need you to die for His Majesty the Demon Emperor!"
Zhi Ao was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears. Then, he continued to drink without saying a word.
