Only Xiao Mo and Mu Ya remained in the Immortal Demon Tribe.
After half a day of idleness, Mu Ya finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Lord, Mu Ya requests to join the battle! Help the territory's army defeat the Dwarf Kingdom's forces and let them know that submission is the only correct path!"
Hearing Mu Ya's words, Xiao Mo was slightly stunned.
He then glanced at her and asked, "You want to go too?"
"Yes, Lord!"
Mu Ya's small head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xiao Mo, however, gave a wry smile and waved his hand, refusing Mu Ya's request.
"You'd better not go. If you go, then half the meaning of this war will be lost."
The purpose of conquering the underground Dwarf Kingdom was not just to plunder their resources.
He also wanted to use this war to allow his subordinates to kill a large number of dwarves, thereby increasing their strength.
If Mu Ya went, with her power, she would probably flatten the Dwarf Kingdom with a few slaps.
Then, what experience would the other subordinates gain? Most of the experience points would be accumulated by Mu Ya.
Mu Ya was already a Saint-tier expert. For her to gain so many experience points would be tantamount to a waste at this point.
Considering the overall situation, it was more practical to distribute them to the Immortal Demons, Nature Wood People, and Black Blood Dragon Pythons.
Hearing Xiao Mo's refusal, Mu Ya looked at him with some grievance, blinking her beautiful big eyes.
"Dear Lord, I haven't been out for a long time. I really want to see the outside world..."
However, before Mu Ya could finish speaking, Xiao Mo refused again.
"Stay in the city obediently first. After the war is over, I'll take you to see the scenery of the Dwarf Kingdom!"
These words made Mu Ya feel quite dejected.
The war would be over. What use would it be for her to go then?
She just wanted to participate in the battle.
Although she usually appeared gentle and sweet, she harbored a violent streak deep down.
She had guarded the Wood People tribe for nearly a thousand years without much combat.
Now that she had such immense power and was able to get away, her hidden nature was gradually beginning to emerge.
She was eager to go to the battlefield and unleash her fury.
Xiao Mo also saw through Mu Ya's true intentions. He could feel her inner anxiety.
But he was truly worried that Mu Ya would steal experience on the battlefield.
After all, the Dwarf Kingdom's strength was only so-so, with their strongest being only at the Monarch tier.
This level of strength was not enough for the Saint-tier Mu Ya to defeat.
With Mu Ya's power, she could basically annihilate the Dwarf Kingdom's main legions with a raise of her hand.
Finally, unable to resist Mu Ya's pleas, Xiao Mo relented.
"You can go and take a look, but there are three conditions! You absolutely cannot interfere unless a Saint-tier enemy appears. Otherwise, you must stay far away!"
Mu Ya's eyes lit up when she heard this.
As long as she could go and see, even if she didn't fight, it would be good to witness the events unfold.
Thus, Mu Ya repeatedly praised Xiao Mo's magnanimity, her expression full of excitement.
Then, she impatiently punched the void, and with a flash, she was gone.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo twitched his lips, a hint of envy in his eyes.
This was the power of a Saint's rules. The void barrier was like paper in front of them.
Although he had not mastered the skill of void walking, he could traverse space at will with his own immense power.
With Mu Ya gone, Xiao Mo was once again the only "stay-at-home child" in the Immortal Demon Tribe.
However, this was already the norm, and he was accustomed to it.
As for his own safety and that of the territory, there was no need to worry.
In the sky, the Nine Heavens Nine Nether City stood guard high above, and Mu Ya and the territorial army could return at any time.
Therefore, as long as an enemy dared to invade, they would still face an inevitable demise.
Xiao Mo, with nothing to do, opened the [Myriad Races Trading Platform] and began to browse for goods.
Unfortunately, after browsing, there was nothing that caught his eye.
As for the food items that had been listed for a long time, they had now accumulated hundreds of thousands of units, and hardly any had been moved.
Except for special foods, ordinary foods had always been in low demand.
This made Xiao Mo sigh.
If all this food could be sold, the Immortal Demon Tribe would immediately be upgraded to a [High-level Tribe].
Perhaps, in some time, as the lords accumulated more subordinates and the prey they could hunt decreased, the sales of food would begin to increase.
Moreover, if this trend continued, all territorial forces would likely have to develop agriculture in the future.
Because in the mid to late game, relying solely on hunting magical beasts to gather food would not be enough to satisfy the consumption of large armies.
Even Xiao Mo planned to develop a plantation in the vast forest nearby when he had the chance.
His Immortal Demon subordinates did not need food, but other subordinates did.
Although he was not short of food at the moment, it was possible that he would run out of supplies in the future.
Therefore, the agricultural industry also needed to be included in future development plans.
The [World Chat Channel] was as lively as ever.
The popularity of the War Fortress Nine Heavens Nine Nether City had not yet subsided, and the Immortal Demon Tribe had produced Saint-tier subordinates.
This could be said to have caused a major earthquake among territorial forces and solo players.
Even after a full night had passed, countless people were still discussing these matters with great interest.
However, more lords expressed their anxiety in the public channel.
Facing such a powerful and dominant Immortal Demon Tribe, what would be the future path for their ordinary territorial forces?
If all the top-tier territorial forces united, they might still have some resistance against the Immortal Demon Tribe, and even have a chance to contend with it, after all, the strength of top-tier subordinates was not to be underestimated.
But what about those lords of low, mid, or even high tiers?
These lords felt that they were like pigs being raised, waiting to be fattened up before being devoured by the Immortal Demon Tribe or those top-tier territorial forces.
[The best course of action now is to stay as far away from the Endless Abyss as possible!]
[Once our territories have all grown stronger and we can establish teleportation arrays and alliance bases, perhaps then we can resist a little!]
[That's right! In the Endless Abyss, Qian Mo has the War Fortress and Immortal Demon subordinates, and now a Saint-tier Nature Wood Man. The day he unifies the entire Endless Abyss is fast approaching! He will definitely expand outwards then, and lords in the surrounding areas will suffer!]
[No matter what, in the current situation, staying far away from the Endless Abyss region is definitely not a bad thing!]
[No issues with the above!]
[...]
Similar messages spread throughout the [World Chat Channel].
For a time, not only were lords in the Endless Abyss region relocating and evacuating, but even lords in the surrounding areas began to abandon their original residences.
Seeing the situation in the public channel, Xiao Mo shrugged helplessly.
Humans, having too great a reputation was not necessarily a good thing.
He hadn't even made a move yet, and the surrounding lords had already scattered like frightened birds.
It was like playing a strategy game of empire conquest. With his nine-star main city placed there, hundreds of surrounding grids were deserted, for fear of being plundered by a powerful player.
However, this was unavoidable.
Given the current situation of the Immortal Demon Tribe, the surrounding lords dared not approach him, and even top-tier lords were extremely timid.
Even though they knew that rebuilding a territory required a huge amount of resources, they had to move their Territory Hearts, clearly not giving Xiao Mo an opportunity to plunder.
This world announcement directly made Xiao Mo feel the sting of loss so acutely that his heart ached!
