Being able to afford it did not mean that they could afford to train it. Not all of them had mines at home. The Mad Lion mercenaries had bought a lot of horses, and it was almost a standard. There were more than a hundred people, and more than half of them had a Ferghana horse.
However, the level of training was not high. Only Mad Lion, Kuang Tie, and the others had trained it well. After all, they still had to cultivate daily and buy resources.
There were not many people at Zhang Tiannan's age who had a Ferghana horse, let alone a Martial King.
The two of them came over foolishly and then went home. However, they had received some useful information, so they still had to go home and report it.
After all, the grocery store had not put new items on display for a long time. Moreover, they were looking forward to new items. Every item on display in the grocery store could be said to be rare and had extraordinary effects.
At noon, the number of warriors in the store did not decrease. The scene was still very lively. Most of the people waiting early in the morning were from Sentry Town and the surrounding cities. There were also many people who came from further away.
"Hey, have you heard? Sentry Town is going to be built," a warrior suddenly said.
"No, there was no announcement." The warrior opposite him was stunned.
"Where did you hear that?" he continued to ask.
"Uh, gossip." The warrior who had just spoken was obviously unwilling to reveal the source. After all, the official announcement had not been made.
"… Does Sentry Town need to be built?"
"Building a city wall requires a lot of spirit stones. Will the Empire approve it?"
"It should be. Sentry Town is now called a small Imperial Capital."
"Other than the small size, the prosperity is almost on par with the Imperial Capital."
"The announcement hasn't been made yet. I don't know if it's true or not."
"I don't believe it either."
"The Yeh family wouldn't be so bored as to apply to build a city, right?"
"Even if they build a city, there's a high probability that the Yeh family will be in charge."
"Hehe, the Yeh family and the other three families definitely won't do that."
"It should be the Empire's intention."
"Then the four great families will have a headache."
Mo Tiankong was a little confused. Sentry Town was going to be built, but it was just gossip. It shouldn't be, right?
There wasn't much talk about it in town. Today, he just happened to hear about it and listened to it for a while.
The four major families were doing well in Sentry Town, so it was impossible for them to take the initiative to apply to build a city. After the city was built, the empire's royal family would definitely send someone to take over the position of city lord, and their lives would be better.
This indirectly exploited the interests of the four great families. Even if there were many warriors in Sentry Town now, it would not be done. As long as the town did not arrange it, even if someone wanted to come in, it would be difficult.
However, regardless of whether it was the number of warriors, the population, or the size of the town, Sentry Town was suitable for building a city. In the past, it was just a seaside town, but now that there was a grocery store, it became popular.
Although Sentry Town was said to have a radius of 500 miles, that was only including the large area around it. The real buildings in the inner and outer towns were probably less than 200 miles in size. Due to the addition of the garrison population, the designated safe area for the town was 500 miles.
In reality, the construction did not reach that level because the spirit stones and resources approved by the empire were not enough to build a 500-mile city wall.
At that time, Sentry Town was only an inner town, and it was still five miles away from the coastline. However, due to the frequent transactions of the garrison, some warriors slowly built some shops in the area that was now the outer town. The town was also paved with roads, and slowly, it was divided into an inner town and an outer town.
Moreover, after so many years, the sea beast riots did not reach the outer town, so many warriors saw business opportunities and went to open elixir shops, weapon shops, restaurants, and so on.
As more and more warriors joined, it slowly became an outer town. In fact, only the inner town of Sentry Town was considered a Sentry Town because there was a city wall, so it was much safer.
However, building a city wall was not so easy. First of all, it was not like Yu Xiuyuan's shoddy construction. The city wall had to be really defensive and not be damaged by the attacks of some low-grade monsters. Then, it would require a lot of yellow-grade ores.
The cost of building the entire city wall was not low. Moreover, after the city was built, the imperial family would definitely send a strong warrior to take up the position of City Lord. A new City Lord was bound to shake the status of the four major families, and some of their interests.
Mo Tiankong also felt that the four major families would not be so free as to apply to build a city. Moreover, even if they applied, the empire might not approve it. The cost of building a city was a huge sum.
Was it not good to be a local tyrant in Sentry Town? If the news was true, then it should be the imperial family's idea.
However, Mo Tiankong could not figure it out. Could it be that they really built a city here just because the grocery store was here? Was it so casual?
After the city was built, the land would be used, and there would be a large number of warriors living here. If the next sea beast riot attacked the city, then many innocent warriors would die.
Mo Tiankong naturally remembered the appearance of the sea beast riot. The sea beasts covered the sky and covered the earth. Even if their cultivation was not high, there were many of them and their bodies were large. If they really attacked the city, there would not be many warriors who would be able to escape.
Martial Kings would have no problem flying in the air, but Wuzong Martial Kings would be torn to shreds if they were slow. Warriors below that level would not have a chance to escape.
Was the empire so confident in building a city in a place like the coastline? If the city wall was built and the sea beast riot stopped, then wouldn't it be a waste of spirit stones and resources?
Therefore, only towns were built in coastal areas to reduce losses. Towns like Sentry Town that had not been attacked by sea beast riots for so many years were relatively rare.
Even so, this year's sea beast riot did not bode well. If it wasn't for the fact that most of the strong warriors in Sentry Town came to help defend, then the garrison would definitely have been defeated.
This was because the sea beast riots did not have a fixed number of sea beasts. It was different every time. King Realm, Emperor Realm, and even Martial Emperor Realm Demonic Beasts were mobilized. How many strong warriors would it be appropriate to station there, or would it require a Martial Emperor to personally station there?
Some towns had even been destroyed once, and after being rebuilt, only the garrison was stationed there.
The empire did not only need to defend one area. The border between the two countries also needed strong warriors to station there. The other places near the coast also needed strong warriors to station there.
However, the cities near the coast were basically overseen by Martial Emperors. If the situation was not bad, they would send reinforcements. If the city was crushed, then they would have to prepare to defend the city.
This way, even if the coastline was lost, the other nearby cities would have time to prepare for defense or ask for reinforcements from the surrounding cities. This would buy them some time.
Moreover, Martial Honorable Realm warriors were the highest combat power that the Empire could send. On the surface, the only Martial Emperor Realm warrior was Yan Qing. It was impossible for the Empire to let the Emperor guard the place himself. Moreover, there were too many places to guard.
Therefore, most of the coastlines were built in towns and sent Martial Emperors to guard them. If they could not defend, the local forces would help. If they still could not defend, then they could only ask for reinforcements from nearby cities like Yuanfang City.
There were also some Martial Emperors guarding the cities near the mountain ranges. It was the same for the border cities. The Antelope Mountain Range was considered a small mountain range.
The Desolate Beast Forest was a mountain range that spanned half of the empire. It could be considered half a forbidden area. The periphery was still okay, and the demonic beasts were not that strong. However, if one went deeper, it would be a dangerous place.
Martial Emperors and Martial Emperors roamed freely. It was rumored that some people had even seen Martial Emperors. As for whether there were stronger demonic beasts, no one knew.
However, the demonic beasts were relatively well-behaved on the continent. Especially the powerful ones, they would not easily leave the mountain ranges. As for why this involved the existence of Martial Gods, there were not many records and rumors.
In the evening, there were fewer warriors in the shop. After all, it was Monday. Especially when the shop was closed on Sunday, there were still many warriors.
Mo Tiankong was also relatively busy. He received several notifications from the System but did not look at them. Now that there were fewer people, he opened them to take a look.
He opened the mission panel. On the right side, there was a log that could be checked. Mo Tiankong saw three new messages.
"Ding, the cumulative sales of the Thousand-island Lake beer have reached 10,000. The host is hereby rewarded with a one-day half-price discount. The host can decide the opening time."
"Ding, the cumulative sales of the Ferghana Horse Card have reached 10,000. The host is hereby rewarded with a one-day half-price discount. The host can decide the opening time."
"Ding, the cumulative sales of the Tang Sword have reached 10,000. The host is hereby rewarded with a one-day half-price discount. The host can decide the opening time."
The above were the latest three logs. Mo Tiankong had thought about it before. Sure enough, after the sales of the Wangzai series reached a certain level, the sales of the three items also met the requirements of the reward.
They were all one-day half-price sales days. Of course, Mo Tiankong could decide the opening time. He could even open all three items for half price on one day.
However, the sales of the Tang Sword were also so fast. One had to know that the Tang Sword had triggered a side quest. Although that event was completed, it was not included in the sales. Usually, there were not many large-scale purchases, but it actually met the sales requirements.
Mo Tiankong didn't feel anything. After all, it didn't take long for the Tang Sword to get the Great Xia Dragonfinch. However, martial artists still consumed a lot of elixirs and weapons. There were so many martial artists in Sentry Town and the martial artists who came to the shops after the cities were connected. The sales of 10,000 items were actually not high.
It was no surprise that the sales of the Thousand-island Lake beer and Ferghana horses had reached a high level. The Zhang and Tang Families had bought a lot of them. What was more, some businesses only bought these few items. All in all, there was no problem for them to reach a high level.
However, Mo Tiankong thought about it and decided not to use the half-price days for the time being. After the recent series of events, there were too many of them. He didn't want these people to think that the shops often had half-price sales.
Moreover, it would probably be a long time before the next half-price opportunity. After all, the half-price sales day would only be available when the sales reached 100,000 items.
As for the teleportation array and other items, it would probably take even longer until the half-price sales day. After all, the prices were still there.
