Chapter 225: Doomsday Shelter
Early the next morning, all the feathered people were stunned by what they heard. First of all, the castle lord Hamitsu and the high priest Aohime jointly make a decision to marry the human lord. But the marriage is not just the goddaughters newly recognized by the city lord as previously rumored, but the city lord's daughter Yuyan.
Secondly, Ha Forging, who had been pursuing Yu Yan but couldn't get it, held a grudge against the previous decision, and launched a rebellion last night, raiding the City Lord's Mansion and killing the City Lord Yu Guang. The temple guards immediately put down the rebellion and killed the culprit Yu Forging and his henchmen.
Third, the position of city lord was succeeded by Yu Yan. Moreover, the high priest personally announced that Yu Yan would be the next high priest, and at that time, the divine power and political power of the Yu people would be combined.
However, since Yu Yan will marry a human, when she is not in Qingbi City, the affairs of the city are temporarily handled by the high priest Qing Ji.
Not only was Yuren stunned, but Xiang Ningxuan, who received the news, was also a little overwhelmed. There's a feeling of "I haven't tried my strength yet, but you're down".
"Lao Chu, do you need to change your plans?"
Chu Xiongtian looked at Xiang Ningxuan and asked, "How are you going to turn your face?" β
Xiang Ningxuan pursed his lips and said, "What are you turning your face?" People have married off the new city lords, how can we have any reason to turn our faces? Besides, we only intended to scare them, and we didn't think about destroying all the feathered people. As long as they can cooperate, I don't care who has the final say! β
"Then you really plan to marry that feather man city lord back? The Feather People are relatively independent economically, politically, culturally, and religiously, and their true leader should be the High Priest, not the new City Lord. I think it will be difficult to assimilate them, and I'm afraid there will be a repetition when the time comes. β
Xiang Ningxuan suddenly laughed and added: "Moreover, these birdmen still think very highly of themselves, as if they are dragging twenty-five or eighty-thousand. Will they be truly obedient? Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway. β
Chu Xiongtian said: "I'm afraid that if you marry the new city lord, when the wind blows on the pillow, you won't be able to do it." β
"Hahaha! Lao Chu, are you stupid? It was the local lord who married the feathered people. And I am the commander of the 4th Division, not the head of the Red Leaf District. What does this have to do with me? β
Yes? And this kind of operation? Chu Xiongtian was dumbfounded!
Xiang Ningxuan said as a matter of course: "Ji Jingyu is treated as the district head, so he doesn't have to do anything. I've got to find something for him to do! He's single now anyway. β
"......, you were the one who set him up, and now you think he doesn't do things." Chu Xiongtian slandered, but Ji Jingyu's matter had nothing to do with him.
Now, with the arrival of Naxxramas imminent, it is not the time to turn against the feathered people, and the first task now is to co-opt them.

The rest of the story went more smoothly.
Early the next morning, Qing Ji, the chief priest of the Yu People, and Yu Yan, the new city lord of Qingbi City, personally went out of the city to greet him.
Xiang Ningxuan led the elite regiment and the first regiment with a huge "greeting" team of 1,200 people into Qingbi City. And outside the city, there were five regiments deployed around under the command of Chu Xiongtian, ready to attack at any time.
Since both sides are interested, then we should really talk about this peace talk as a marriage. In fact, as long as the feathers let go of their arrogance, the negotiations between the two sides will be easier.
In just over an hour, the general policy was already agreed. All the people of Qingbi City joined the republic, but they retained the autonomy of internal politics, economy, culture, and religion, but did not have diplomatic rights, and paid a certain percentage of taxes every year.
In terms of the army, the Feathermen kept the temple guards and a certain number of security forces. In addition, Xiang Ningxuan had the right to recruit a regular army of 2,000 men under the command of the 4th Division of the 1st Army in Jiangdong. If the situation is urgent, the conscription can be expanded after consultation between the two sides.
The terms of cooperation were negotiated, and Xiang Ningxuan couldn't wait to ask the high priest Qing Ji about the situation of the Yuren teleportation, and how to control the teleportation rate.
As a result, it was confirmed that the transmission speed was getting faster and faster. Based on the information provided by Aohime and the calculations of the mathematical model, it is estimated that the arrival time of Naxxramas will be about 23 days later. If you consider that Kel'thugad may have some special hand break acceleration coming, Xiang Ningxuan and Chu Xiongtian determined that the preparation time for the war against the undead natural disaster is only 20 days.
The 50-day preparation time was cut at once, and all the economic and military plans that had been set up before that time had to be overturned. The workload of the Political Affairs Committee and the Military Affairs Committee exploded in an instant.
The news of Naxxramas's early arrival was soon confirmed by the city. With the consent of the central government, S City will enter a state of general mobilization from now on, and all political, economic, and military actions will be carried out around responding to the invasion of the natural disaster legion.
Since the return of the Yu people, there has been no large-scale alien power in Xiang Ningxuan's jurisdiction. Although some monsters and mutated creatures will appear in the wild from time to time, these are just the right time for the army to train their hands.
Although ordinary people work hard, they are never short of basic living materials such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and occasionally there are some luxury goods and cultural and entertainment activities to adjust their lives.
The warehouses in the grain depot are full of grain, and there are special personnel to control the storage environment and reduce the loss of grain mildew.
The clothing warehouse is stocked with clothes, shoes and socks that people can't wear out for a decade.
Tall residential buildings have been cleared out, and each person has been allocated about 50 square meters of housing on average. This made countless pre-doomsday house slaves excited to tears. Housing that used to take at least ten years of struggle is now distributed for free!
There is no longer dead silence on the road, and a large number of electric buses have begun to run on the road. A small number of fuel vehicles are basically military vehicles. Gasoline is a non-renewable resource and is generally not allowed to be used at all.
Waterworks and power plants have been put into use one after another, and labor is everywhere in the deep mines and farmland connected to each other, and all kinds of living resources are continuously produced.
Of course, more of a variety of military factories.
In addition to the guarantee of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the control area of Xiang Ningxuan is more important than safety. An increasingly complete defense system has been established around the main living area, and there are basically no monsters breaking into the living area. Moreover, the medical and health epidemic prevention system has also been established, all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, ants, bacteria and viruses have been effectively controlled, and even if you get sick, there are evolutionary doctors who treat them in time. The death rate in the living quarters is already comparable to that before the apocalypse.
From time to time, you can see various alien races in the human living area: fish people and golden fish people patrolling the river; goblin merchants who peddle all sorts of strange things; kobolds with candles on their heads in broad daylight; Timid, cowardly Spore Man, and so on.
However, Spore People's timidity is also targeted, and if they encounter a kobold who sells their close relatives, the mushroom people, they will also rise up and hunt down the kobold named Marcus.
As for the barbarian races such as trolls and orcs, they have not yet been allowed to enter the living quarters of humans. The newly recruited alien soldiers were still undergoing military training and could only be seen in the barracks outside the city.
Of course, not all human beings live in safe zones. If you are brave enough, you can also go to work and live in the danger zone, and you can enjoy the corresponding risk allowance according to different risk levels.
Although the people in the jurisdiction complain from time to time about long working hours, poor environment, poor food treatment and so on. But survivors from other regions will tell them how happy they are to be able to live in such a post-apocalyptic shelter.
In the various survivor settlements in the Demon Capital and Yue Province, rumors gradually spread that there is a safe, clothed, harmonious, and stable apocalyptic shelter like a paradise. Many settlements, feeling that they could not sustain themselves, resolutely began to migrate despite the dangers of the journey.
