“Speaking of which, Qianmo has wiped out so many local forces and several kingdom-level forces. His territory must be storing countless resources now. If we can raid it, it will definitely be a substantial income!”
“That's for sure. And his territory is probably about to be upgraded to a medium-sized small city!”
“This upgrade speed is truly terrifying. No lord can keep up with him now!”
“Keep up with him? Besides that kid Qianmo, who else has had their territory upgraded to a small city? Not a single one!”
“Precisely because of this, we must eliminate Qianmo. Only by eliminating him can we be at peace and obtain more resources!”
“If Qianmo doesn't die, we might end up dying at his hands when the time comes to compete for that sole position!”
“Alright! What's there to be nervous about now? Even Qianmo himself doesn't have enough confidence. Then he's definitely dead this time!”
“An army of hundreds of millions, hehe! Even true gods would dare to fight against it! Is Qianmo a true god?”
“Heh heh! His divine spark hasn't been unsealed yet. How can he become a god?”
…
It wasn't just the Covenant of Gods Alliance that was discussing such topics; other alliances also learned about the related situation.
Upon learning that Qianmo valued the watchtower so highly, members of almost all alliances became excited, and the pressure on them suddenly eased considerably.
Since Qianmo lacked sufficient confidence, it meant that the allied armies had a high chance of leveling the Immortal-Demon Small City and killing Qianmo.
Once this happened, all the resources in the entire Endless Abyss region would be redistributed among all the allied armies. As for the distribution, it would be determined by strength.
Regardless of how excited the allied armies were, Xiao Mo himself had no sense of facing a formidable enemy.
He was currently looking at the information interface before him, intending to upgrade the Immortal-Demon Small City.
As Xiao Mo gave the command, golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the entire territory and city.
This upgrade took a considerable amount of time, nearly half an hour, before the golden light slowly dissipated.
The information about the upgraded Immortal-Demon Small City was also presented to Xiao Mo.
At the same time, a prompt sound echoed in Xiao Mo's mind, and the information interface before him changed.
【Congratulations to the Lord for upgrading the territory to a High-Level Immortal-Demon Small City!】
【The territorial range of the Immortal-Demon Small City has been increased to four hundred kilometers, and the influential range of the territory has been extended to twelve hundred kilometers!】
【The defense of the Immortal-Demon Small City's territorial heart has been increased tenfold!】
【Congratulations to the Lord, the fame and cohesion of the Immortal-Demon Small City in the Primordial Continent have been greatly enhanced!】
【Friendly Reminder: The Dragon Clan's hatred value towards the Immortal-Demon Small City has significantly increased. The Dragon Clan has listed the Immortal-Demon Small City as an enemy faction, and it is irreconcilable!】
…
Looking at this information interface, Xiao Mo's face revealed a knowing smile.
The Immortal-Demon Small City had finally been upgraded to a high level, just one step away from being upgraded to a main city.
A main city could serve as a royal capital, establishing an Immortal-Demon Kingdom. After a main city came an imperial capital. Once the territory was upgraded to an imperial capital, a true Immortal-Demon Empire could be established.
What made Xiao Mo happiest was that the Immortal-Demon Small City's territorial range had expanded to four hundred kilometers, making the area much larger.
When it was only two hundred kilometers before, accommodating all the races within the city still felt a bit cramped. Now, this problem seemed to be well resolved.
Just a single city with a diameter of four hundred kilometers, to be honest, still surprised Xiao Mo.
A distance of four hundred kilometers, even walking step by step, would take several days.
If this city were converted into an area, it would be a full sixteen thousand square kilometers. Perhaps even a population of hundreds of millions would not feel crowded.
Most importantly, the influential range of the territory had a diameter of twelve hundred kilometers. This meant that with the territorial city as the center, the surrounding area within twelve hundred kilometers was the territory of the Immortal-Demon Small City, encompassing nearly half of the Endless Abyss region.
Xiao Mo believed that as soon as he upgraded the Immortal-Demon Small City to an Immortal-Demon Main City, the influential range of the territory would encompass the entire Endless Abyss region.
Xiao Mo surveyed his surroundings and found that the territorial city had once again become somewhat desolate. He couldn't help but sigh.
Earlier, he thought that after relocating these races, it would bring some vitality to the Immortal-Demon Small City, but now it seemed like a drop in the bucket.
With few people and few buildings, the sense of vitality was sparse, which made Xiao Mo somewhat worried.
It was difficult for the Immortal-Demon Small City to attract more population from other places now, as Xiao Mo had already dealt with most of the large and small powers in the entire Endless Abyss region.
Unfortunately, in the entire Endless Abyss region, apart from the beasts, most of the other sentient beings were already within the territorial city.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo could only sigh helplessly. This matter could only be resolved later, as there was no solution for now.
Then Xiao Mo looked at the city walls after the upgrade. The dark city walls had become taller and thicker, reaching nearly two hundred meters in height and about thirty meters in thickness.
Of course, with the increase in the area of the territorial city, the length of the four city walls also became longer, making defense more challenging.
Given the current population and army size of the territory, defending such a city wall was still quite difficult.
Unless the entire population of the major races became soldiers, and they took turns defending the city, it would be possible to spread them out along such a vast city wall.
“Lord, your territorial city is probably comparable to any main city of a Natural Woodman Empire, even an imperial capital is not much different!”
After visiting the newly upgraded Immortal-Demon Small City, Mu Ya flew back to Xiao Mo, her face filled with shock as she said.
Xiao Mo just smiled and nodded. He knew that Mu Ya was only referring to the area and magnificence being comparable to the imperial capital of the Woodman Empire.
In terms of population, it was far inferior to the imperial capital, and the prosperity was worlds apart.
However, there was no other way at the moment. They could only proceed slowly. At least now, with daily troop summoning, the population in the city was growing every day, which was already very good.
The first thing the Immortal-Demon Small City needed to do now was to quickly eliminate the Dragon Clan, unify the entire Endless Abyss region, and establish the Immortal-Demon Kingdom.
Perhaps, after the Immortal-Demon Kingdom was established, a way to increase the population could be found.
However, thinking of this, Xiao Mo still asked in his mind how to increase the population, and as a result, he actually received an information prompt.
According to the information prompt, there were three ways to achieve population growth.
The first was to summon troops. As the number of troops increased, the population would also increase. The second was to attract native high-level intelligent beings, such as the Natural Woodman race and the Elf race.
The third method was actually the most foolish and time-consuming: natural reproduction, meaning allowing the current population of the territory to naturally procreate.
Upon seeing this third method, Xiao Mo's head instantly felt heavy. This method was no better than having no method at all. Wasn't this just asking the territory's population to make babies themselves?
Currently, it seemed that only the Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, and Heavenly Fox Death Warriors could naturally procreate, but this was time-consuming. At most, only one batch of population could be added per year.
The Natural Woodman race was naturally out of the question. They were more like troops, all nurtured by ancient natural trees.
The first two methods were more reliable, but they were currently unattainable.
Mu Ya seemed to have seen through Xiao Mo's thoughts. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Lord, there are also Natural Woodman tribes in the Dark Forest and Dreamy Sea regions. Shall I go and bring them over?”
After speaking, Mu Ya smiled and looked at Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo's eyes lit up upon hearing this…
