I really became a king.

Chapter 500: Planning the Giant City - Xingyue

After Xu Heng finished reporting what had happened over the past three years, he stopped talking.

The entire conference room suddenly became silent, with only the sound of Jiang Yi's fingers tapping lightly on the armrests of the chairs.

People who are familiar with Jiang Yi know that this is a habit of his.

Especially when considering important matters, the knocking sounds contain a certain pattern.

Therefore, everyone in the conference room was waiting quietly, waiting for Jiang Yi to think it over and make the final decision.

After a long while, the tapping sound of Jiang Yi's fingers stopped. Everyone was shocked, and even the Changmei Patriarch sat up slightly straighter.

"Do you think it is feasible to take over Xingyue City?"

Hearing Jiang Yi's question, everyone except Changmei Patriarch and Fang Yue was stunned.

The Long Eyebrow Patriarch had just arrived and was very unfamiliar with the Yinshan Realm, so he didn't know what this sentence meant. As for Ghost Venerable Fang Yue, he seemed to have guessed it in advance, so he didn't show any shock.

It was different for the others. Xu Heng, who was already at the eighth level of martial arts, and Fan Huai and the others looked at each other and said hesitantly, "Although the Palm Palace in Xingyue City was almost destroyed, it is not completely lost. If you want to attack a huge city with a Palm Palace..."

Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning was already very clear.

"My Lord, after Tuoba Yu colluded with the foreign tribes to take over Xingyue City, the rest of Tuoba Xingye's sons fled Xingyue City and wandered around. If we can find them, it may be a great help."

A man with a goatee stepped out, he was also one of the five seventh level martial arts masters present.

Jiang Yi glanced at the other person. This man with a goatee was a capable general of Xingyue City. His name was Hou Kui. After Xingyue City changed its owner, he defected to Taimang.

"Oh? Do you have any way to contact them?"

Hou Kui hesitated for a while, then looked at Jiang Yi carefully and said, "My Lord, the Third Young Master of Xingyue City came to me some time ago and wanted me to introduce him to Taimang, but I didn't agree..."

"As far as I know, the other party has been active around Taimang for the past year."

Having said this, Hou Kui paused for a moment and then said carefully again: "But this Third Young Master has always been ambitious and good at forbearance. He came too recklessly... I'm afraid his purpose is not pure."

Jiang Yi glanced at Ghost Venerable Fang Yue, and after seeing him nod slightly, he smiled and said, "Why is your purpose impure?"

“This…” Hou Kui didn’t know how to start for a moment.

"Do you think I'm too reckless and have taken over your position?"

Hearing Jiang Yi say this himself, Hou Kui lowered his head, which was tantamount to agreeing with Jiang Yi's words.

Jiang Yi chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Fan Huai: "Fan Huai, how is the formation of the Taimang Prefecture Army going?"

“My Lord, the number of Taimang Prefecture’s troops has already reached 100,000, but they have been in closed camp training for the past three years and lack actual combat experience.

Moreover, due to the lack of resources, the weapons and armor they were equipped with were rather simple.”

One hundred thousand...Jiang Yi nodded.

Taimang now has a population of only a few hundred thousand, but it has an army of one hundred thousand. This is simply impossible in the Manghuang Continent, but it is very common in the Yinshan Realm.

They serve as civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime, and all the people practice martial arts. The martial arts culture in the Yinshan Realm is very prosperous, which is far beyond the wild continent.

The only drawback is that for some unknown reason, it is extremely difficult to break through to the seventh level of martial arts in the Yinshan Realm, so there are very few martial arts masters in the upper three levels.

"Since Taimang has been known to the outside world, there is no need to hide it anymore. Starting tomorrow, divide the 100,000 government troops into three camps and occupy the mines and other resource points within a hundred miles of Taimang."

"Yes!" Fan Huai was a little excited. After three years, the Taimang Army could finally go on the offensive. "Starting tomorrow, all of you will join the army and take up military posts. The specific position assignments will be handled by the Venerable and Elder Xu."

"Yes!" Fang Yue, Xu Heng and more than 20 other martial arts masters bowed in response.

"Hou Kui!" Jiang Yi shouted.

"I'm here!" Hou Kui stepped out again.

"Find a way to contact the Third Young Master of Xingyue City and gather at Taimang!"

"Yes!" Hou Kui accepted the order.

All the martial arts masters in the room were startled, knowing that their master was planning to build the huge city - Xingyue.

The old ancestor Changmei's heart also skipped a beat. Although he didn't know how big the so-called Star-Moon City was, since it was called a "huge city", it must be quite large. Maybe it was as big as the Dali Imperial Capital.

And once he owns a huge city, with the skills of Prince Yi in front of him, it won’t take long for him to open up the situation in Yinshan Realm.

By then, it would be difficult for the Dali Imperial Capital to suppress the Prince Yi's Palace in Western Xinjiang.

He thought of the Fourteenth Master from the past and sighed secretly. Although he and the Emperor of Dali tried their best to suppress the matter of "Dali returning to power", once the Prince Yi in front of him grew up completely, he might not be able to suppress it.

Ancestor Changmei was born into the royal family of Dali and has lived for so many years. He knows very well that the more power a person holds, the greater his ambitions will be.

It is impossible to be inferior to others forever. Sooner or later, you will take that step.

Even if the other party really does not have such ambition, with more and more powerful generals under his command, sooner or later they will surround the other party and attack the supreme position.

Thinking of what the current emperor of the Dali Dynasty, Jiang Zhenyi, had done over the years, he sighed inwardly.

There was a hidden sense of anticipation in my heart, looking forward to the day when Prince Yi would reach the top. Perhaps the entire wild continent would achieve true unification.

The old ancestor Changmei pondered in his heart and knew that he had to readjust his strategy towards Prince Yi's Mansion in Western Xinjiang.

Of course, the premise is that the Dali Dynasty does not fall into civil strife.

"Have our people infiltrated Xingyue City?" Jiang Yi asked again.

"They have already infiltrated and have established a firm foothold." Fang Yue knew that this was a question asked to him. The main responsibility of the "Zhanfu Division" under his control was to monitor the nine borders.

But he also took into account the Yinshan Realm where Taimang was located. Over the past three years, he had been trying to infiltrate the entire Yinshan Realm.

"Do you know how many powerful people at the eighth level of martial arts there are in Xingyue City now?" Jiang Yi asked.

Fang Yue was well prepared and replied, “Xingyue City originally had two eighth-level masters. After Tuoba Xingye’s sudden death, only one remained. But because he was angry about what Tuoba Yu did, he has now left Xingyue City and his whereabouts are unknown.

The strongest martial artists in Xingyue City are all from foreign races. There are about two permanent residents, and sometimes there are four or five."

Hearing that there might be four or five top martial arts masters in charge, most of the people in the conference room changed their expressions, even though Taimang had two top martial arts masters.

But if you want to take over Star-Moon City, the hope is probably slim.

"Four or five..."

Jiang Yi tapped the armrests of the chair with his fingers. Just when everyone thought they were going to give up Xingyue City, Jiang Yi suddenly laughed:
"Xingyue City, I'm determined to get it!"

After saying that, he looked at Fang Yue and said, "Concentrate all the secret forces in your hands and cooperate with this matter with all your strength. Don't alert the enemy!"
