Chapter 674: Developing Strategy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A small separation trumps being newlywed, and a night of passion ensues!

Tired out after the long night, Sophia and Yuna were deep asleep a dawn. A bare arm lay outside the sheets, snow-white and smooth like a lotus root. The messy hair spread over the pillows and tangled blankets told a tale of the previous night’s wild passion.

“A new day has begun again!”

Unlike Yuna and Sophia, who were still deeply asleep, Yang Ling only rested for a while before rising again, feeling energized. After breathing in some fresh air, the last of his sleepiness evaporated. Seeing that the two of them were sleeping soundly, he gently laid a blanket over them and lightly walked outside. He left Wissen Castle through a side door and headed toward the Terras Forest along a small footpath. He had originally intended to get some peace and quiet by himself, and enjoy the extra fresh air of this world to the fullest. Unexpectedly, before he had gotten very far, he noticed that his guard Orlando was following him.

“Orlando, how far have you come with your training?” Yang Ling furrowed his brows as he looked at the man behind him.

Dogman Orlando was loyal and committed to his duties. Any instruction given to him would be completed meticulously. Unfortunately, he was advancing very slowly with his training, and he couldn’t seem to catch up with the others. He was also less able to adapt to changes and see the bigger picture. Yang Ling’s former guard Argus had moved forward without difficulty, and Yang Ling had nurtured him to become a great general who went on expeditions everywhere. But with Orlando, Yang Ling still wasn’t confident enough in his abilities to give him a leadership role!

“My Lord, I remain at the level of Great Swordsman, and I still can’t break through to Sword Saint!” Orlando’s face turned red, embarrassed beyond belief.

As a close guard of Yang Ling, Orlando had benefited greatly from his favored position. He had gotten pointers from various Experts like Elder Brent, and compared to an ordinary Beastman, his training was already progressing quickly. Unfortunately, compared to Yang Ling’s generals, his power was simply unimpressive, and he was trailing further behind with each passing day.

“Great Swordsman isn’t bad!” Looking at the embarrassed Orlando, Yang Ling smiled. “Right, what’s the situation like in the Beastmen Tribe now?”

“Good, very good. With Mistress Yuna’s help, many of our tribesmen are moving over from the Continent and settling down in areas like the Sallero Harbor and Wissen Town. Their lives are getting better and better. Many of their businesses are growing as big as those of the humans!” Speaking of his Tribesmen, Orlando beamed with joy. The respect he held in his heart for Yang Ling and Yuna was evident.

For thousands of years, the Beastmen were marginalized and forced to live in the margins of the Tailun Continent. They had hard lives, and every day passed like a year. But with the sudden rise of the Magical Beasts Realm, everything changed. Beastmen like the Dogmen, Harpies, and Bullmen all found their dignity and place in the Magical Beasts Realm. No one discriminated against them, and no one bullied them as outsiders. The Lord’s Manor even provided direct aid when they needed it.

One spread the news to ten, and ten spread the news to a hundred. Very quickly, even the Beastmen living in the big mountains found out about the advantages of the powerful and flourishing Magical Beasts Realm. Others spread word of the kind, beautiful mistress of the Fox Tribe who lived in Wissen Town. Thus, they all brought their sons and daughters and traveled tens of thousands of miles to settle in the Magical Beasts Realm. Within half a year, the number of Beastmen in the Realm increased by more than a million!

“Fate has always been in the palm of your own hands, under your control. Your Beastmen have also put in a great deal of effort to make the Magical Beasts Realm what it is today. You deserve all of this!” Thinking back to the days when he built Black Water Town from nothing, of the blood spilled by the Medusas and Bullmen warriors, Yang Ling was full of emotion.

After the power of the Magical Beast Army had greatly increased, he no longer needed the ordinary Beastmen Warriors to follow him into battle. But Yang Ling could never forget the Beastmen Warriors who had gone into battle and shed blood with him. He couldn’t forget the carnage when they found the spider demoness in the Taildon Valley.

After silently thinking for a while, Yang Ling took out the Divinity of an Abyss Demon Leader and a few drops of Crystal Marrow from his Space Ring. With these, he could forcefully increase Orlando’s power.

“Orlando, this is the Divinity of a High-level Expert at peak power. Swallow it, then take a few drops of Crystal Marrow!”

The Divinity of a High-level Expert at peak power! Orlando was very emotional. He would have been thrilled just to advance to the level of Sword Saint, but now Yang Ling had produced the Divinity of a High-level Deity at peak power! After taking the Divinity and the Crystal Marrow and swallowing them, Orlando respectfully prostrated himself in front of Yang Ling. At that moment, he realized how lucky he was to have become Yang Ling’s guard back then!

“Orlando, get up! I need you to do one more thing for me.” Yang Ling took out the Wind Element Divinity of a High-level Deity, a few drops of Crystal Marrow, and two bottles of the Water of the Spring of Life, and placed them all into Orlando’s hands. “Go immediately. Get these items to Miss Harribell of the Boulade Merchant’s Association. Remember to be careful on the journey there!”

Following that, Yang Ling prepared to isolate himself so that he could practice for a long time, hoping to break through to High-level Soul Wizard in one shot. It might take a few years, or even a few centuries. If the day came when he could break through, he didn’t want his friends and family to be ashes in an urn when he revived.

Harribell was a smart, capable, and driven woman, and she had control over a large Merchant’s Association. When the Magical Beasts Realm was in its infancy, and when Yang Ling most needed aid, she generously extended her helping hands. Even though many years had passed, Yang Ling was unable to forget her big, watery eyes. He could still see her taking action after making a decision, her eyes full of wisdom.

“Yes, don’t worry, my Lord! I’ll leave immediately, and I will definitely complete my mission!” Orlando bowed quickly and left.

“It’s time I sent someone to deliver the Level Surpassing Magical Beast Essence Crystals that I promised the Great Elder of the Dark!” Thinking of the Three Major Heads of the Dark whose fates were still unknown, Yang Ling sighed. He swiftly returned to Wissen Castle and asked Goode to handle the matter. After that, he planned to either concentrate on practicing cultivation or have in-depth relationship-enhancing sessions with Sophia and Yuna.

Three days passed in a flash.

When the evening lights were lit, Yang Ling once again summoned all the upper management of the Magical Beasts Realm to discuss their plans for the future. He would soon be isolating himself to practice cultivation.

“My Lord, we already have huge numbers of brave warriors and powerful Magical Beasts. I think our next step should be to make large amounts of equipment!” Thinking of the precise attacks of the God Slaughtering Arrow as demonstrated by the Corpse Wizard King, Master Aaron was excited beyond words. His eyes were aglow, like an old bull seeing a patch of young grass. “If every soldier was equipped with God Slaughtering Arrows, who could be a match for our Magical Beasts Realm?”

“And in addition, carve our Spell Formations into the arrows, which would make them even more powerful than the sample,” the Gnome Elder sputtered. “Then, we’ll be able to organize a team of powerful soldiers carrying bows and arrows, charging from one dimension to another. We will be able to take whatever we want!” The Gnome Elder was so excited that he could barely speak properly. For him and Master Aaron, who were in charge of making equipment, there was nothing more exciting than designing a top quality Divine Weapon.

Elder Huafu of the Longbarton Divine Branch had left a God Slaughtering Arrow behind as a sample. And as Yang Ling had gathered Pure Gold Sand and Moon Soul Stones, the Magical Beasts Realm had been increasing in wealth and power. With all these resources at their disposal, the Gnome Elder and Master Aaron believed that they would have no problems replicating the God Slaughtering Arrow. In time, they could even improve it!

The Stele listed many methods of making equipment. Yang Ling didn’t have the time or energy to study them in-depth. After Yang Ling assigned them various fabrication tasks, Master Aaron and the Gnome Elder seemed to have mastered a number of techniques. Their skills in making equipment had grown dramatically, officially giving them the expertise of Masters.

“Right. With a large number of exquisite weapons, we can equip heavy cavalry on a large scale. We can use the powerful Magical Beasts like the Flying Dragons, Dark Dragons, and Horned Dragons as the foundation for a Divine Level air force. We can also use the Giant Apes as a special assault team on the ground. Once we’ve equipped ourselves with the God Slaughtering Arrows, we can choose elites to form a team of assassins trained to take out key personnel among our enemies!” The more he thought about it, the more excited the Corpse Wizard King got. The power of the Magical Beasts Army was truly impressive.

“No, I think that while the equipment of our forces can be upgraded, we must first make sure that our Realm is sufficiently developed. If we focus all our efforts on upgrading equipment, we may use up too many of our resources, and thus slow down the Realm’s development!” Goode shook his head as he carefully countered the excitement growing around the table.

The Realm had undergone a great development, but they were still far from the stage where they could afford to use resources however they wanted. The prerequisite for making large amounts of top-tier equipment was to have ample wealth, manpower, and resources. If they jumped the gun, it might burden the entire development of the Realm.

“That’s right. I also think we shouldn’t be in too much of a rush. We can begin manufacturing the most vital equipment and greatly develop the Realm at the same time. We’ll have plenty of time to manufacture equipment in bulk, even if we wait until we have enough resources!” Yuna said, concurring with Goode’s opinion. Her big, warm eyes looked around charmingly.

The beauties of the Fox Tribe were already famous, but Yuna was the cream of the crop. After her activities with Yang Ling over the past few days, she had become even more charming and alluring!

After thinking silently for a while, the Blood Angel Ophilia offered her own opinion, slowly saying, “My Lord, I think that our next important task should be developing the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. The Magical Beasts Realm is very important, but I think that our real home is within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. A physical dimension that is in the midst of developing is definitely more important than a Realm that has limited resources!”

“Presently, the land within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space is tens of thousands of times bigger than the Magical Beasts Realm, and it is continually expanding. It could contain tens of millions in population. Once we develop the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, we will be able to draw in more followers who will continue to develop the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, forming a benign cycle!” The Corpse Wizard King supported Ophilia’s suggestion wholeheartedly. In the mind of the many followers and Magical Beasts who were tamed by Yang Ling, the Wizard Pagoda’s Space was far more important than the Magical Beasts Realm.

...

They had a heated discussion of strategies for critically developing the Magical Beasts Realm and the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. It was a no-holds-barred conversation, with almost every possible potential problem and hidden issue being presented. Finally, faced with the huge advantage of Ophilia’s suggestion, they all agreed to focus on the development of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. They were prepared to move huge numbers of population into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and develop followers on a large scale, building numerous towns and cities and setting up various associations within it.

But, at the end of the discussion, the biggest problem still hadn’t been solved. Presently, Yang Ling had to personally handle the entry and exit of anyone moving in or out of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. If they wanted to bring in large numbers of people and resources from the outside, it was obviously going to be extremely inconvenient!

The problem restricted the rapid development of the Wizard Pagoda’s Space, and so they took the problem to Yang Ling!
