Chapter 159 You are welcome to take as much as you want

   "It's not a remnant of Yin Ji, how can you be sure?"

  Hearing Ai's question, Zhao Meng carefully recalled how he felt when he saw that thing.

  That thing doesn't have the familiar feeling of Yin Ji's buttocks or the headed female ghost.

   If his feeling was not accurate, then Xixi Lake in the magic net also came to the same conclusion as him.

   "Since it has nothing to do with Yin Ji, but she actively drilled out of the Maixian passage, could it be the suffering master and the foreign demon?"

   "The sufferer cannot be determined, but the foreign demon..."

  Zhao Meng got up and opened the drawer beside the bed. Inside was an exquisite doll, which was the clone of the foreign demon who came to this world with him.

   It's just that after he escaped from the Witch Academy, because the little thing kept harassing Pu and Ai, Zhao Meng asked it to go into autonomous dormancy.

  Think now of what is coming in the universe. Zhao Meng mentioned that the demon avatar shook:

   "Little one! Wake up."

   "I'm here!" The miniature clone of Sanji Waimo slowly woke up under Zhao Meng's shaking:

   "Do you know this thing?" Zhao Meng extracted the information of the magic net and passed it on to the little thing.

   "Analyzing...don't know!"

   Hearing that the little thing was still unsure, and seeing that it had stretched its clutches towards Pu and Ai, Zhao Meng hurriedly forced her to sleep, and then threw her back into the drawer beside the boat:

   "Looks like it's not the Sanji Outer Demon, could it be the Lord of Suffering..."

   "If it is the case of the sufferer, the situation is much more complicated and needs to be discussed separately..."

  …

   There are still two months to come, which makes Zhao Meng a little uneasy, but uneasy is uneasy, and things in reality still need to continue to advance.

  Zhao Meng checked his physical condition and saw that the separation of consciousness did not cause any problems, so he continued to spread the cats.

  He doesn't know how much the control of the magic net can be increased in two months, but the greater the control, the higher his security in this world.

  However, for Zhao Meng, worse things are yet to come.

  Three days later, in a newly built hall, people in charge of various places in the territory were whispering about something,

   At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Zhao Meng walked in with Xi Wei,

  With the arrival of Zhao Meng, the hall fell silent instantly.

   "My lord!"

   Everyone got up to salute, but Xi Wei glanced at some vacant seats, and his face became a little ugly.

  Before Zhao Meng sat down, a guard in armor stepped forward and said:

   "My lord, the kingdom has sent troops, how should we respond?"

   "The current strength of our territory is not enough to deal with the army."

  Hearing what the guard said, Zhao Meng didn't answer, but sat on his seat and looked up. This man in armor said:

   "Haddad, you didn't escape?"

  Hearing Zhao Meng's question, this person seemed to give a wry smile, and then shook his head lightly:

   "Even if I leave, where can I go? It was the lord who gave me a new life."

   Zhao Meng glanced at the head guard in the territory, waved him to sit down:

   "Tell me about the current situation."

"yes!"

   "According to the information from our caravan, the kingdom's army has assembled in the capital, the prince and the king have reached a settlement and formed a coalition army,

   There are about 50,000 coalition forces, and they are marching towards the southern border under the pretext of fighting against the rebellion. They are expected to arrive in the southern border in a month! "

   "Although the army is still a month away, the vanguard will be able to enter the southern border in about seven days, and ten days later..."

   "And there are also troops gathering in the southern border. They are supporting the kingdom's army. Although they will not attack the territory, they will form a certain blockade."

   "My lord, what should we do?"

  Hearing this, Zhao Meng pondered.

   "Finally, is it still here?"

   Zhao Meng was not surprised or nervous when the Lunsa Kingdom sent troops to attack the territory.

   After all, the interests of cats are already great enough. Under the influence of [Love to **** cute things], women cannot refuse this kind of pet.

  If it’s just some commercial interests, it’s not enough to let the father and son who are fighting among themselves put down their prejudices. What really makes the father and son restless is that cats can give some women extraordinary powers.

  For those in power in this world, extraordinary power is the existence between powerful arms and nuclear substances.

   And cats can endow ordinary women with extraordinary powers, and its benefits and influence are immeasurable.

   "After all, they are still father and son! Not enemies, even if unimaginable things have happened between them, there is still the possibility of reconciliation."

  At this time, a fat businessman stood up suddenly and said, after saying this, the businessman still glanced at Princess Xiwei beside Zhao Meng.

   Zhao Meng, who was still thinking about something,

  Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at the merchant in charge of the caravan, then waved his hand to let Xi Wei listen to him, and whispered a few words to her,

   And Xi Wei glanced at the businessman, nodded slightly, and continued to sit back in his seat.

  The fat businessman, seeing Zhao Meng and Xi Wei whispering, suddenly sweated on his forehead, and he hurriedly explained:

   "My lord, I mean, you can take advantage of the conflict between the king and the prince, and you can delay the marching speed of the army!"

   "Good advice, sit down!"

   "My lord, I..."

  The businessman wanted to say something, but facing Zhao Meng's gaze, he could only sit down obediently.

   And Zhao Meng glanced at the remaining people, there are many empty seats in the hall.

   It can be seen that some well-informed people have fled the territory after learning that the kingdom sent troops to attack here.

   On the way here just now, he even heard that some people stole a lot of cat eggs when they escaped.

   Facing the panic-stricken territory, Zhao Meng sighed helplessly in his heart,

  The establishment of the territory only takes two months, even if he gives preferential treatment to the people in the territory regardless of the cost,

  But how much loyalty can be built in two months, when a strong wind hits, you can see the root cause.

   As for the rest of these people:

   "Whoever among you wants to leave, I won't make it difficult for you. You can take the remaining cat eggs in the warehouse."

  Hearing this, the hall suddenly fell silent,

  Princess Xiwei at the side also widened her eyes when she heard this. She grabbed Zhao Meng's arm, as if to ask Zhao Meng to take back what she just said.

  As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the entire territory were completely dispersed.

  For Xi Wei's signal, Zhao Meng didn't seem to feel it, but continued:

   "Go back and think about it!"

   "Yes!" Zhao Meng waved away the remaining people.

  …

  A moment later, on the third floor attic, Zhao Meng looked through the window at the somewhat chaotic territory,

  Some people are running around holding things, some women seem to be looking for lost children,

   And more people are holding those eggs in their arms

   Just now, Zhao Meng ordered the warehouse to be opened, allowing those who wanted to leave to take the cat eggs inside.

  Maybe it’s because everyone is holding in their arms, carrying on their backs, pulling a lot of eggs with ropes,

   Nothing happened, such as murder, arson, and looting. After all, people have no time to spare to do these things.

  The prosperous new territory in the past suddenly became bleak, which reminded Zhao Meng of a sentence in his previous life:

  “Prosperity without the protection of strong force is false prosperity.”

   "Why? You don't look sad at all."

  Princess Xiwei walked to Zhao Meng's side at some point,

  She stared at Zhao Meng with puzzled expression on her face. At this time, Zhao Meng seemed to be an outsider, silently watching the territory dissipate like this.

  There was no expression of sadness or anger on Zhao Meng's face.

  She remembered that her elder brother, the prince of this kingdom,

  Because one of his caravans was robbed, he was furious, but the man in front of him was so indifferent.

  She couldn't understand that there are people in this world who are so indifferent to power and interests,

   Seemed to be infected by Zhao Meng's indifferent atmosphere, Xi Wei didn't continue to ask, but quietly looked out the window at the territory he had worked so hard to build. After a while, he asked silently:

   "Are we ready to leave too?"

  Feeling the fragrance coming from around him, Zhao Meng shook his head lightly:

"I will not leave!"

"What!"

  Hearing Zhao Meng's answer, Princess Xiwei's expression changed. She thought she had heard it wrong, and looked at Zhao Meng beside her in disbelief.

   After all, Zhao Meng’s previous behavior seemed to give up this territory no matter what,

  But the answer she gave now made her unable to understand.

   "Most of the people in the territory have already fled, you are very dangerous here!"

  Zhao Meng turned his head to look at the princess of the kingdom. Perhaps because of the changes in the territory, the original queen's aura on the princess was not so obvious at this time.

   Without the blessing of this layer of breath, her slender figure showed a certain fragility.

   "I will wait for the army of the kingdom to arrive, you go away first!"

   "No! I will stay with you."

  Xi Wei didn't understand why Zhao Meng did this, but the expression in her eyes became firm.

  …

  In the blink of an eye, it was already three days later,

  At this time, Zhao Meng was on the hill behind the territory overlooking the scene below.

   "If this is the situation in the past and ancient times, this place can be guarded by the mountain."

  Although Zhao Meng doesn’t understand military affairs, he can still understand the basic terrain.

  The mountain behind the territory is surrounded by water on three sides. Although it is just an ordinary river, because it is located in a tropical rainforest area, the river is wide and swift.

   without the part surrounded by rivers,

   is a relatively steep terrain, and there is a water source on the mountain, so he is not afraid of what happened to Ma Di again.

  The terrain here is excellent, and this is a rainforest area, which is hot and harsh.

  It is not an exaggeration to block tens of thousands of troops here with a few thousand people at the level of ancient technology in the previous life.

   But it is a pity that there are extraordinary powers in this world,

  This kind of existence has completely changed the form of war, and the geographical advantage is not so obvious.

   Just like the previous Witch Academia war, even though Witch Academia is surrounded by snow-capped mountains,

  But the coalition forces of the three clans can still enter the Witch Academy on the cliff, and the sense of presence in this world has been greatly weakened.

   "Although there is a danger of being besieged, this is an opportunity." While Zhao Meng was watching, a servant came over:

   "My lord! Dinner is ready, Madam invites you over."

"I see!"

   Along the path, Zhao Meng saw a brand new castle standing in the mountains, and there were still some guards walking around in the castle.

   Looking at these people in the castle, Zhao Meng also had some inexplicable emotions.

  Although most of the people in the territory had fled, some people were still unwilling to leave, and Zhao Meng led these people into the castle in the mountain.

   This castle is not big, it was originally built by Zhao Meng to avoid the summer heat, so it is still very difficult to block the army.

"You're back!"

   Seeing Zhao Meng's return, Xi Wei didn't say much, and reported the situation in the past three days to Zhao Meng.

  The coalition forces of the lords in the southern part of the Lunsa Kingdom have been one step ahead of the kingdom's army. They have arrived near the territory and blocked the territory.

   Those territory residents who fled with eggs, most of the eggs they carried were looted by these lords,

  However, in order to make Zhao Meng's territory lose its ability to resist, these lords did not do anything, but let the residents who surrendered their eggs leave.

  In short, the territory under the mountain is empty, and there are basically no living people.

   "Zhao Meng, all the things you asked to put away have been put away!"

   "But is this really good?"

   "Just give things to those people for nothing!"

  Hearing Xi Wei's doubts, Zhao Meng did not answer, but asked about another situation:

   "How are the other warehouses in the forest getting ready?"

"Already prepared!"

   "Well! When the eggs in the territory are emptied by these people, I will reveal these locations to them."

   "...yes" Regarding his arrangement, Xi Wei obviously had many problems, but Zhao Meng didn't explain anything.

  For him, the primary purpose of establishing a territory is to spread cat eggs,

  Let the cat collect the fragments of Yin Ji's brain and consciousness to complete the control of the magic net.

   At first,

   Zhao Meng thought to use commercial methods to spread cat eggs,

   But after these two months of development, Zhao Meng discovered that although his price has been dropping again and again as the reputation of cat eggs spread,

   But the spread of cat eggs is still lower than his expectation,

  Facing the unknown existence that landed two months later, it is still very difficult to restore the control of the magic net.

  The reason is that there are some disadvantages in using the business model to deliver eggs, and the biggest obstacle is tax.

  Because of the narrow and long terrain, the Kingdom of Rensa has limited control capabilities, so there are many small lords who are nominally the territory of the kingdom but actually have independent rights.

  When the egg passes through these territories, a layer of tax will be added,

   After leaving the territory, the kingdom will be taxed again, and when entering other kingdoms, it will be taxed again.

  In short, after layer upon layer, dumping of eggs is subject to invisible constraints.

  He wants to deliver the eggs, but he lacks capacity,

   Now, in the face of a sudden army, Zhao Meng suddenly discovered that there seems to be a faster way than the business model for diffusion eggs.

  Watching the lights gradually turn on at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Meng muttered silently in his heart:

   "You are welcome to take as much as you want"
