This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 50 Miscalculation

"What should we do next?"

Sarah looked at Ryuji, whose face was covered in blood, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes. But remembering her duties as queen, she mustered her courage and asked, "I mean the follow-up arrangements. You said you wanted to renovate and expand the existing buildings in Loulan. When will the Sand Village people move in? And what will we be doing?"

Sarah was worried that Long Er would do what An Lushan did, making her people continue to do hard labor.

So it's best to ask beforehand.

If what she thought was true, and the other party only kept them because of a lack of labor, then she would rather wander in the desert with her people.

The girl was guileless; all her thoughts were written on her face.

Ryuji immediately saw through it and chuckled softly, reassuringly saying, "The specific arrangements still need to be discussed with Lord Kazekage, but you can rest assured that after the people of Loulan are incorporated into Sunagakure, they will be true Sunagakure villagers, just like everyone else, and will not be treated differently."

"That's good."

Sarah breathed a sigh of relief. Although she didn't completely trust Ryuji, there were always risks involved in everything she did in this world.

"I've given you permission; you can call in the puppet troops if you need help."

Because of An Lushan's actions, the Loulan people, who were driven to live in the remote underground areas, had a great misunderstanding of this queen.

Although Ryuji believed that the queen could explain herself and regain their trust, it was better to be cautious and take some precautions.

Sarah nodded, turned and left the room.

Seeing her leave with the young men of Loulan through the window, Long Er nodded in satisfaction.

Trust needs time to prove itself. Although Sarah doesn't fully trust herself, she is trying to do so.

In that case, there's no need to worry too much.

Anyway, I wasn't planning on doing anything underhanded, things will naturally get better in time.

The group disappeared down the spiral staircase. Ryuji turned his gaze back to the machines inside the room.

The room is very small, about 30 square meters.

In the center of the room was a metal box with a joystick on it, presumably the machine that controlled the flow of the dragon vein's chakra.

Ryuji did a simple test and found that it only changed the direction of the transmitted dragon vein chakra, and there were too few transmission channels, only two.

One path leads to the instruments used in production, and the other is for delivering goods to people.

"To build a city, we need more equipment and instruments, and different types of production equipment need to be placed in different areas. One waterway is not enough."

It wasn't just a problem with equipment; there was also the need for a puppet army.

At this moment, the Third Shinobi World War is raging, and the entire world is in chaos. The construction of the mechanical castle could not have been smooth sailing, and it needed a guard force to prevent neighboring countries from coveting it.

In the original story, Loulan was destroyed in the war, which shows that the war was bound to reach this place, and there must be a force that can stop it.

The ninjas of Sunagakure can certainly protect this place, but Ryuji cannot mobilize a large number of Sunagakure ninjas to protect it.

Not only is the cost too high, but it could also easily lead to problems at the Sunagakure headquarters.
