Chapter 838: Expanding Territory (3)
“You have grand ambitions.” Uncle Nine looked at Shen Yanxiao with a smile. Who knew the little kid he saw in the Graveyard of the Sun could become a city lord.
The demons treated Shen Yanxiao as the Lord of the Forsaken Land. Now, her decision was pus.h.i.+ng her on the path to that t.i.tle!
“Fullness for the bold, famine for the timid.” Shen Yanxiao shrugged her shoulders. She felt that it was not difficult for her to reclaim a new city.
The process of building Sun Never Sets was quite smooth. Other than a few malicious attacks, everything else had been smooth-sailing.
“Leave the matter of going to the Scar of Oblivion to me.” Su He had now officially entered Shen Yanxiao’s core circle, hence he could finally speak in such a discussion.
Shen Yanxiao did not see any reason to oppose it. “Take Jiu’er with you and ask her to pick some ladies for us. Having just men in the city is an eyesore.”
Everyone laughed at Shen Yanxiao’s words.
Realistically speaking, no one would use female slaves to build a city. That was because they were physically weaker and could not afford to do heavy work. Although their prices were similar to male slaves, the value they brought in terms of building a city was very low.
However, Shen Yanxiao did not mind. She had never treated the people she bought as slaves. She hoped that they could live a normal life. A normal life filled with love and happiness. She could not possibly buy thousands of men and wait for them to be gay, right?
“I’m sure Jiu Er would like that.” Su He chuckled. He was grateful for Shen Yanxiao. He had seen everything that she had done, and those small details were the things that he admired the most.
She treated the slaves sincerely, and they were grateful for that.
“Which city are you planning to reclaim next?” Qi Xia lazily looked at the map on the table.
Shen Yanxiao originally had a map of the Forsaken Land, but it was not as detailed as the one that she had in her hands. It was a map that was specifically designed for the eastern region of the Forsaken Land. Every city, every mine, and every mountain had been accurately mapped. Su He and his group of brothers had carefully memorized the terrain and plotted it while they were searching for mineral reserves.
When Su He handed the map to Shen Yanxiao, she was also surprised. She did not expect that Su He would give her a gift that was beyond his job scope.
That was the result of Shen Yanxiao’s kindness.
The slaves were simple-minded. They were grateful for having food and clothing, and Shen Yanxiao had given them money and even found them a wife to marry. For them, breaking their backs until the day of their death was not enough to repay for what she had done for them. So, naturally, they would think of ways to help Shen Yanxiao.
To rule was to rule its people’s heart.
There were four cities that were the closest to Sun Never Sets, and all of them were not very big. Their names had also been forgotten in the long history of the Forsaken Land. Other than the five main cities, none of the other cities had a name. Blizzard City and Fantasy Devil City were named by the owners of those cities.
The four closest cities were about the same size, but it was located in the north, south, east, and west of Sun Never Sets.
If Shen Yanxiao wished to reclaim a new city, she would have to start with the four nearest cities and then gradually spread out.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the map and pointed to the city in the east.
“Let’s start here.”
