Chapter 343 Automatic Population Absorption! The Idea of Forming an Army Corps of Land, Sea, and Air!

Xiao Mo ultimately did not agree with Mu Ya's idea, believing it was not yet time.

First, the war with the Dragon Clan and the allied forces was imminent. The Immortal Demon Small City needed Mu Ya to remain and defend the territory.

Second, Xiao Mo had not yet established the Immortal Demon Kingdom. Even if he brought in natural wood people from other regions, they might not readily pledge allegiance.

Although Xian Qing'er could forcefully purify these natural wood people, they were Mu Ya's kin, and Xiao Mo did not wish to coerce them.

Furthermore, even if Mu Ya went personally, she might not be able to persuade the natural wood people tribes to surrender, thus wasting time and energy.

Therefore, Xiao Mo shook his head, "Let's forget about it for now. We'll discuss it after resolving the two most important wars!"

"Now is not the time to recruit these tribal beings. Once the Immortal Demon Kingdom is established and its fame and cohesiveness have been significantly enhanced, perhaps we can attempt this!" Da Feng Novel Network

Xiao Mo had reason to believe that once a kingdom recognized by the world's laws was established, it would be highly attractive to intelligent races.

Perhaps at that point, there would be no need for deliberate recruitment and wooing, and many intelligent races would willingly join.

Mu Ya naturally did not object to Xiao Mo's words. In her heart, all of her lord's decisions were correct; this was Mu Ya's absolute loyalty.

...

Another three days passed. The territorial army had basically cleared an area of nearly three thousand kilometers around the Endless Abyss. All local forces had been purged, some surrendered, and some were eliminated.

It could be said that with the exception of the Dragon Clan, nearly half of the Endless Abyss region was now under Xiao Mo's control.

In these three days, the territorial army had achieved significant gains, acquiring nearly four million units of territorial resources, over five hundred thousand Immortal Demon Stones, more than four thousand Soul Crystals, and over two hundred various blueprints.

Within these three days alone, Xiao Mo had increased his reserve of Immortal Demon Stones in his bracelet to two million one hundred and twenty-three thousand four hundred, and his Soul Crystal reserves to six thousand eight hundred and twenty.

It could be said that these three days had cast a dark shadow over all the local forces in the Endless Abyss region, but they were powerless to do anything but await their fate.

After three days, with the Immortal Demon Small City as the center, no local forces or demonic beasts could be seen in more than half of the Endless Abyss region.

All demonic beasts were slain, and a portion of the local forces were killed, while another portion was absorbed. This further expanded the population of the Immortal Demon Small City territory by nearly fifty thousand.

The current population of the Immortal Demon Small City was nearly one million. Such a number would send shivers down the spine of any lord who heard it.

After all, this population size was four to five times that of the former Dwarf Kingdom and twice that of the Goblin Kingdom.

Even for a kingdom, this population size would undoubtedly make it a super-kingdom.

However, considering the current land area occupied by the Immortal Demon Small City territory, a population of one million was not much, and could even be considered sparsely populated.

To be honest, once the Immortal Demon Kingdom was established and the entire Endless Abyss region was unified, a population of one million would be very small. Even ten million would not seem like much to Xiao Mo.

After all, only with a large population could a kingdom have more labor, and with more labor, the kingdom could become increasingly prosperous and powerful.

But Xiao Mo was not in a hurry now. Once the kingdom was established, he was sure that some local forces would automatically join the Immortal Demon Kingdom. There was no need to rush things now.

As for the population that had already settled in the territorial city, they had basically become Xiao Mo's believers, and the Immortal Demon Ancestral Hall was absorbing the power of faith day and night.

These powers of faith were absolute treasures, prepared for Xiao Mo's ascension to godhood.

After all, the more abundant and pure the power of faith, the more powerful the divine being would be.

"Greetings, Holy Lord!"

At this moment, an elder of the Dwarf Clan at the Monarch level and an elder of the Goblin Clan at the Monarch level arrived together, bowing respectfully to Xiao Mo.

The Dwarf elder said, "Holy Lord, the Dwarf Clan has forged one thousand three hundred Spirit Cannons, one hundred thousand sets of standard equipment, two thousand siege engines, and five hundred giant ballistas!"

"The Spirit Cannons and giant ballistas are for defending the city walls, while the standard equipment and siege engines are for attacking cities in warfare!"

Following this, the Goblin elder also spoke, "Holy Lord, the Goblin Clan has forged fifty thousand sets of exquisite equipment, three hundred giant Spirit Cannons, and three thousand six hundred advanced defensive ballistas!"

"These can all be used for defending the city, as well as for attacking. Additionally, I have also drawn up a sketch of a piece of equipment and would like to ask the Holy Lord to review it!"

As the Goblin elder spoke, he took out a sheepskin scroll from his embrace and respectfully handed it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo opened it and was immediately astonished. This was the hot air balloon from his previous world!

However, the hot air balloon designed by the Goblin elder was much more advanced than ordinary hot air balloons and much larger.

This hot air balloon had a diameter of about five hundred meters. The passenger compartment below could accommodate one thousand people at once, and the power source was simply fire, but the ignition device was exquisitely designed.

Moreover, this hot air balloon could control its flight direction in the air and adjust its speed. Its maximum flight altitude could reach one thousand meters, and its fastest flight speed could reach two hundred kilometers per hour.

This was why Xiao Mo was so surprised, as a hot air balloon reaching such speeds was truly incredible.

At the same time, as Xiao Mo's gaze fell on the upper left corner of the sheepskin scroll, an information interface immediately appeared.

[Equipment Blueprint - Goblin Tribe Hot Air Balloon]

[Basic Information: Upon learning, you will gain the skill to craft Goblin Tribe Hot Air Balloons.]

[Hot Air Balloon Size: Balloon diameter 500 meters, passenger platform 400 meters long and 400 meters wide.]

[Maximum Flight Altitude: 1000 meters.]

[Fastest Flight Speed: 200 kilometers per hour.]

[……]

Seeing this information interface, Xiao Mo's face lit up with joy, and he asked the Goblin elder, "Did you draw this blueprint?"

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, I drew this blueprint!" the Goblin elder replied.

This made Xiao Mo extremely delighted. Seeing the Dwarf elder and Goblin elder arrive together, it was likely that the Dwarf elder also had a treasure to present.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mo asked, "Did you also draw some blueprints?"

"Reporting to the Holy Lord, the Dwarf Clan does not draw blueprints, but the Dwarf Clan can build warships that travel through underground rivers to every region of the continent!"

The Dwarf elder's face showed a hint of shame, as if he felt ashamed for not being able to draw blueprints.

Hearing the Dwarf elder's words, Xiao Mo was overjoyed. If both hot air balloons and warships could be built, the future Immortal Demon Kingdom would have a navy, land army, and air force.

This would be a great opportunity for the Immortal Demon Kingdom to significantly enhance its strength and also to change its legion mechanism.

With this in mind, Xiao Mo immediately said, "You two clans should quickly build one of each of these for me. I want to see how practical they are!"

"As you command, great Holy Lord!" The two elders responded in unison.

As soon as the two elders left, Xiao Mo's heart stirred slightly. It was the little silver dragon that had sent him a message.

The Dragon Clan Patriarch was about to successfully advance to the Saint level, and the army of the Immortal Demon Small City could attack the Dragon Clan at any time.
