After chatting with Roca for a while, under my order, Roca went back to sleep, this whole day of physical strength, mental exertion, not everyone can bear, if you don't rest well, it is easy to get sick.

Standing on the balcony, looking at the street directly opposite, looking at the magnificent, huge buildings on both sides of the street, and looking at the blackened city walls in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh!

With sufficient funds, a lot of labor, and cruel supervision, in the past year, the development of Phantom City has been a thousand miles a day, and now, standing here and watching all this in front of me, I can't believe that everything is true!

Before leaving, Roca and I had already made a plan for the next 10 years and a 20-year development plan, but when I returned here a year later, I found with a wry smile that not to mention the 10-year plan, even the 20-year plan had been overfulfilled!

Thinking of the mercenaries who were brutally killed last night, I couldn't help but smile wryly and shook my head, maybe...... I shouldn't have killed them at the time, in a way, they were the benefactors of the Phantom City!

Thinking of yesterday's mercenaries, I can't help but think of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui, although both are cruel and unkind emperors, and the people's low opinion of them is terrible, but the former built the Great Wall, and the latter built the canal, which is a big deal that determines everything in the future!

For the people at that time, these two emperors were absolute tyrants, but for future generations, whether it was the canal or the Great Wall, they all played a pivotal role, it can be said that without Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui, then today's China may not be what it is now!

On the other hand, everything is about a contrast, and it used to be ...... No matter how merciful I am, others think it should be, but after tasting the brutal rule of those mercenaries, everyone cherishes my benevolent rule, and the so-called chaos will inevitably be accompanied by great governance, that's the truth!

Moreover, everybody felt my importance, and if I had been there, none of this would have happened, but as soon as I left, it happened, and as soon as I returned, all the invaders were immediately wiped out, I thought...... If I were those ordinary people, I would definitely obey such a wise and martial leader!

It's funny to say, they took over my city and helped me supervise everyone to work harder, and these guys also took out their pockets and bought a lot of slaves, and now ...... It's all mine.

There are slaves in this world, but it must be said that slaves are very expensive, basically...... It's about the same as the price on the earth, if converted into * RMB, each slave may have to get twenty or thirty thousand, especially these strong and sturdy male slaves, the price on the market is even more ridiculously high, there is no fifty or sixty thousand, you don't expect it at all!

Now, Phantom City has tens of thousands of strong slaves, these slaves alone are worth five or six billion, in any case, except for the people of Phantom City who have suffered enough, for me, almost all of them are harvests, super harvests, and the small losses are negligible!

Escape......

Thinking about it with a smile, the back ...... A gentle voice rang out, and when I looked back, I was standing at the doorway to the balcony trembling slightly, her eyes full of tears, looking at me excitedly.

Smiling and turning around, I opened my arms slightly and said softly, "Little baby...... Come here, let me see if you've lost weight!"

Hearing my words, Yoyo couldn't control himself anymore, and rushed into my arms with his head down, trembling all over, tears quickly wetting my clothes.

Ok ok......

Gently patting Yoyo on the shoulder, I pushed her away while smiling, "Let me see if Yoyo has become more beautiful!"

Listening to my words, Yoyo's pink face couldn't help but flush, and I gently let me unveil her face, and the next moment...... The dreamy leisure, the delicate face like the clear moon, appeared in front of me......

After a year, Yoyo has matured a lot, along with maturity, at this moment, Yoyo, the whole body is more full of feminine charm than a year ago, looking at the delicate face like a flower, the skin is like jade, I can't help but slowly lower my head, greedily sniffing in her tender and fragrant neck......

Haha......

First he was slightly stunned, and the next moment he ...... He jumped away from me and said with a red face: "Don't, it's so itchy, what are you doing......"

I......

Looking at Yoyo with a wry smile, every time I look at the pure and pure Yoyo, I can't help but get close to her, especially the breath wafting from her hair collar makes me crazy! It's a pity that Yoyo is too afraid of itching, and he doesn't let me smell it every time......

Ok ok......

Looking at my expression of dissatisfaction, he said pleadingly: "Everyone is anxious to see you, please...... If you make trouble in the future, come with me now to meet everyone!"

After listening to Yoyo's words, I quickly understood who this everyone was referring to, yes...... It was the Holy Guards who went out to train for a whole year under the leadership of Youyou, but they were just ...... What did they see me doing?

Thinking about it, Yoyo pulled me back into the room, and quickly rushed towards the large conference room, when we walked into the door of the large conference room, forty holy guards were scattered in the large conference room, one by one, puffing out their cheeks, trying to eat the food they didn't know where to go!

Grunt......

Seeing everyone eating, I remembered this time, from last night to now, it has been 24 hours, and I have not finished dripping water, and the grain of rice has not been touched!

Hearing the sound coming from my stomach, Yoyo smiled slightly, pulled me towards the rostrum, and at the same time, when they saw me coming, all the holy guards quickly stood up, one by one, straight, they didn't even dare to chew a mouthful of food, and stood there respectfully!

Shook his head with a wry smile, I know...... For them, I absolutely cannot be lazy, whether it is the lessons I have taught them in the past, or everything today, I have repeatedly made them understand that the fate of disobeying me will be something they will never be able to bear!

"Let's all sit down and continue eating......" I couldn't help but smile as I looked at the girls with mouthfuls full of food.

With my order, all the girls immediately sat down, bowed their heads and eaten, for them, my order is an order, no need to be polite, everything I say, they just need to do it, any doubts, may make me burst like thunder, and even severely punished, no one will be stupid to be hypocritical and polite, nodded with satisfaction, this is exactly what I want iron discipline!

Accompanied by Youyou, I came to the rostrum, and at this moment...... The huge long table was already full of sumptuous food, and I looked at Yoyo suspiciously, and I pointed to the food in confusion: "These...... Where did it come from?"

Kindness?

looked at me suspiciously, and said with a sweet smile: "Of course I found it in the kitchen, try it, it's delicious!"

Kitchen?

After listening to Youyou's words, I was stunned for a while, and then I couldn't help but smile bitterly, yes...... Not only do we have to eat, but the mercenaries we killed also need to eat, so there is naturally food in the kitchen, if not, it is strange, looking at the rich food on the table, I can't help but move my index finger, I can judge from the aroma of the food, these foods, but Yoyo made it himself.

Looking at Yoyo with disgust, I took her little hand in pain and said reproachfully: "Why are you disobedient? Didn't you say that you don't want to cook? What if you grind your little hands rough?"

"Where...... It's not that easy to pull, besides...... People want to cook for you!"

Ay......

Sighing helplessly, I gently stroked my smooth face, such a beauty, shouldn't do these things, she just needs to hide in my arms and accept my favor, who is willing to work for such a beautiful person?

Hee-hee......

Just when I was forgetting myself and being leisurely, I suddenly ...... There was a slight laughter around, and when I turned my head in amazement, I saw that the girls were covering their mouths one by one, laughing non-stop.

Kindness......

Fiercely made a serious expression, cleared his throat, pretended to be serious, and suddenly ...... All the girls were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed their heads to eat, and no one dared to laugh at us anymore.

The next thing we did was eating and chatting, and from the small talk, I learned about their efforts over the past year, and listened to their thrilling adventures, and I hated myself for not being able to be with them.

Over the past year, under the leadership of Yoyo, the forty holy guards have traveled around the forests and grasslands, facing all kinds of demonic beasts, some strong and some weak, the most dangerous of which is that the forty holy guards were swept down by more than twenty, and they couldn't keep up with the treatment at a leisurely speed, and that time, the holy guards were almost wiped out!

It's like this in the wild, you can't know what kind of monster you're going to face in the next moment, it could be a harmless lamb, or it could be a pack of man-eating wolves.

Yoyo and the forty holy guards have encountered wolves several times, one of the most serious, tens of thousands of wild wolves, actually besieged them for three days and three nights, in order to save their lives, the holy guards had to take turns to resist the impact of the wild wolves, when the wild wolves finally retreated, all the holy guards could not even send a single magic.

However, everything is worth it, in the past year, the forty holy guards have either wandered on the grassland, or shuttled between the jungles, every day with the help of a large number of magic crystals, the cultivation speed can be described as a thousand miles a day, otherwise, it would not be possible to reach the current level, compared to a year ago, their strength is several times improved!

Generally speaking, the demonic beasts on the grassland are relatively weak, and they are generally herbivorous demonic beasts, which are relatively weak, and the magic crystals on their bodies are relatively low-level, but they are better than in large quantities, and they do not take the initiative to attack humans, so they ...... Every time the holy guards were about to run out of magic crystals, they would enter the prairie, kill wildly, and after obtaining a large number of magic crystals, they would enter the forest again to cultivate.

As for the forest, there are relatively few magical beasts, and they are all relatively high-level magical beasts, but ...... On the other hand, the magic crystals on their bodies are also quite advanced, and for the holy guards, the training of these demonic beasts is of greater significance, you know, these are all ferocious, carnivorous demonic beasts that take the initiative to attack!

In the past year, under the leadership of Youyou, the holy guards have hardly taken a day off, and all the time has been spent in exercise, with the support of a large number of magic crystals, a year later, they can finally proudly triumph.

We talked until late at night, and then I forced all the girls to go to bed, after all...... Even if they are not sleepy, but I am sleepy, not to mention that there is still a lot of work to be done tomorrow, and the holy guards must also train as usual, so proper rest must not be delayed.

Before going to bed, I gentlemanly sent Yoyo back to the bedroom, and when I was about to turn around and leave, I didn't expect that Yoyo would give me a big animal skin bag.

When he took the pocket suspiciously, he said proudly: "These are the high-grade magic crystals contained in the body of the demonic beasts that the holy guards have hunted for the past year, they must be given to you by me, you can keep it!"

Smiled and nodded, and lightly imprinted a kiss on Youyou's forehead, I haven't been here for more than a year, and for a while, Youyou's pretty face was flushed, and he said, "You...... You ......"

Gently patting the tender and fragrant face, I said softly: "Go to sleep, there are still many things to deal with tomorrow, don't be tired!"

Kindness......

After listening to my words, Yoyo bit his lip, nodded slightly, and then ...... Shyly lifted his toes, quickly imprinted a mouthful on my face, and then quickly turned around and closed the door.

Touching his face stupidly, the so-called little biesheng newlywed, under such a shy and beautiful kiss, I really don't know where I am.

Shaking my head with a wry smile, I turned around and rushed towards my bedroom, now is not the time to be greedy for beauty, I must hurry up and rest, otherwise, my body will collapse, thinking about it...... I turned around and gently opened my pockets as I walked towards my bedroom.

Yikes!

The colorful light emanated from the mouth of the bag the moment I opened it, and I couldn't help but scream when I looked at the large pieces of magic crystals in the animal skin pocket.

To be honest, I have always only regarded the holy guards as children, although the requirements are a little stricter, but in my mind, they remember the role, how can they have five or six years of hard training, but looking at the large piece of magic crystal in my pocket, I know that I am wrong, completely wrong.

After a year of training, with the support of countless magic crystals, and under the hellish training arrangement, the strength of all the holy guards has greatly increased, and at this moment...... Although they are still very young, they are only twelve or thirteen years old, but in terms of strength, they have already reached the standard of C-level!

Perhaps, in terms of individual strength alone, they are still nothing, but a year or two of cooperation has made them proficient in group warfare, forty holy guards, from a certain point of view, they are already a whole, when they are united, they are simply four A-class mages who have joined forces, whether it is defense or attack, with the addition of a lot of combat experience in the past year, they are not to be underestimated.

Looking at the magnificent magic crystal in his pocket blankly, the lowest one, I'm afraid there is also a fifth-order, a high-level one, the highest-level, all of them are sixth-order magic crystals, and the most exaggerated one, I'm afraid it has to be a seventh-order demonic beast, that is, the magic crystal that is equivalent to the demonic beast of a fifth-level martial artist, it seems that it ...... This is the magic crystal on the monster that almost wiped out the holy guards!

Closed his pocket in admiration, this big pocket of magic crystals is enough for hundreds of yuan, if you take it out and sell it, I'm afraid it will have to sell for millions, but ...... I will never sell them, for me, it represents the hearts of the Holy Guards!

Feeling emotional, I returned to the bedroom, and after putting the magic crystal away, I fell on the bed, thinking about the future development direction of Phantom City, and before I knew it, I finally fell asleep.

Although I slept very late, the next morning, just after dawn, I woke up and looked at the time, and I only slept for two or three hours!

I wanted to go back to sleep, but I knew that if I didn't work hard, I would probably be overtaken by everyone soon, so I gritted my teeth and crawled out of the bed and started the day's workout.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the bell on the main square in front of the city lord's mansion rang melodiously, and when the bell was heard, the crowds scattered all over the Phantom City gathered towards the main square.

Although the matter has been separated by a day, and everyone has cleaned it up yesterday, but the time is too short, no matter how carefully cleaned, it is impossible to clean it too clean, between the stone slabs and cracks in the street, there is still dark red plasma, and in the inconspicuous corners, you can find stumps and broken arms from time to time!

In the early morning mist, one after another figures appeared in the square, without orders, everyone subconsciously lined up in a neat line, like a well-trained army, quietly watching me, waiting for my speech.

Looking at the more and more people gathered around me in admiration, I couldn't help but admire, it seems that ...... Those mercenaries who have occupied this place are not useless, and they have trained these guys so well, which saves me a lot of trouble, it seems that ...... I have to learn more about this hand in the future, blind kindness will not be respected, the so-called combination of grace and power, can be subdued.

In fact, the truth I learned from Jason Terry is the most precious, and I understand a truth from him, this people are used to fool, as long as the means are high, even if they sell them, they will be happy to help me count the money!

After my short but efficient speech, all the Phantom City people moved, first ...... I redistributed the houses, and not only the people of Phantom City, but also the slaves got their own homes!

However, unlike the last time, this time ...... All the residences belong to me personally, and it is not impossible to get permanent residency, but you have to make enough contributions to the Phantom City, if you can't make enough contributions, then your children and grandchildren will not have the right to inherit your property, and they will be allocated to other people.

In the face of my words, all the people of Phantom City have no disagreement, after all...... After the brutal rule of the past year, this has been extremely benevolent in comparison, and at the very least, I have given them hope!

Subsequently...... All the city's citizens began to happily return to their respective houses and settle down, when all the city's residents got their houses and settled down, Mario's food and vegetable transportation brigade just came back, and for a while, everyone ran out of the house excitedly to get food and vegetables in front of the city lord's mansion.

After three days on one side, I finally ...... Phantom City seems to have regained its calm, and all the people have finally settled down from the panic, and the Warframe Factory has also begun to resume production again, producing the orders that Mario went to various big cities at full speed!

Unfortunately, Mario got too few orders, after all...... He only went out for two months, only walked around the nearby big city, and successfully got the order, although the price is very expensive, but if it is really produced, basically two months later, the factory will be shut down.

However, this is not the most headache for me, the most headache for me is the 10,000 slaves that I got for nothing, and now ...... They are carrying out the final repairs to those buildings every day, but you must know that the construction of the Phantom City is basically completed, and the next ...... These 10,000 slaves will have nothing to do, so many people, I can't feed them in vain!

I thought about selling them, but ...... After the slaves were given their own houses, their own property, and the most precious freedom and dignity, their performance made me reluctant to sell them.

Finally...... A month later, when all the repairs to the building were done, I had all the slaves together, and there were a lot of things I had to talk to them.

Tens of thousands of slaves, gathered in a huge arena that can accommodate 100,000 people, did not seem crowded at all, standing silently on the rostrum, I silently looked at the tens of thousands of slaves neatly arranged in the arena, and my brain thought quickly.

After a long time, I said in a deep voice, "Everyone...... First of all, I would like to thank everyone, with the joint efforts of everyone, the infrastructure of the Phantom City has basically been completed, and tens of thousands of buildings have occupied 8o% of the area in the Phantom City!"

Hearing my words, all the slaves lit up their eyes at the same time, showing a proud look, sweating, bleeding, the current Phantom City, they were watered with blood and sweat, they do have a reason to be proud!

But......

Looking at all the slaves coldly, I said coldly: "The construction has ended, in other words, the Phantom City does not need so many slaves, and the Phantom City's own people are enough to complete the next scattered construction, so ...... next"

Hearing me say this, all the slaves couldn't help but show a look of despair, for many years, they have been living worse than death, from the hands of one master, resold to the hands of another, all this, they are even used to.

But now, ...... When they gained freedom, dignity, and a new life, they absolutely did not want to be resold again, they wanted to protect their hard-won freedom and dignity!

However, all the slaves know very well that for the Phantom City, they are useless, it is time to sell them, no one will feed them in vain, the value of their existence is to be constantly resold, constantly to work, to create wealth for others!

For a while, all the slaves looked at me with a longing look, looking at their eager faces, I couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and said slowly: "I know, everyone doesn't want to be sold, and they don't want to leave, but ...... It's not so easy to maintain the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, even if I allow it, but the people of Phantom City, will they be willing to support you for nothing?"

Hearing my words, all the slaves despaired, thinking of the life without freedom and dignity in the past, all the slaves, unwilling to red eyes, after tasting freedom, tasting the taste of self-esteem, they are unwilling, can not return to the old pig-like life.

Castle Lord!

Several slaves took a step forward, fell to their knees with a thud, and pleaded: "City Lord, please don't sell us anymore, no matter what you want us to do, we will do our best!"

City Lord! City Lord......

Seeing the movements of those slaves, the next moment ...... All the slaves knelt down and pleaded one after another, the more emotional slaves even burst into tears, they really don't want to live humbly anymore, they need freedom, they need dignity!

Looking at all the slaves coldly, I didn't let them get up, why didn't I want to keep them, but...... What am I going to do with them? Tens of thousands of strong men, the daily consumption is simply astronomical, in any case, this is also my biggest burden!

Moreover, once they are sold, then I will immediately have an extra five or six hundred million funds, so that the dilemma faced by Phantom City will be alleviated immediately, but ...... Looking at the earnest faces of the slaves in front of me, can I really bear to sell them?

After a long hesitation, I finally ...... I snapped my teeth and nodded, "Okay...... Get up, all of you, I won't sell you, but ...... One thing you must know is that in Phantom City, no one can get something for nothing, everyone must rely on labor in exchange for food and survival materials!"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help pausing slightly, hesitated for a while, and I continued: "I can promise you freedom, give you dignity, and give you the security of life, but you remember that everything has a price, and if anyone can't devote himself to his work, then ...... You're going to turn back into slaves at any moment, and I'll resell you and get back on with your old life, you know?"

Got it!

As soon as my words fell, all the efforts began to roar hoarsely, for them, work has become a habit, they are not afraid of hardship, they are not afraid of bloodshed, the only fear is the loss of freedom, no dignity!

Looking at the elated, cheering and celebrating slaves, I couldn't help but sigh, so many people, to be honest, for a while, I really don't know how to arrange!

Castle Lord!

While I was thinking about it, Mario behind me approached me lightly and whispered: "City Lord, it's really a pity that these people are sold, these guys are working like they're playing with their lives, I think...... Can we redevelop the abandoned mine, I always believe that there must be remnants of illusion crystals there!"

Kindness?

Listening to Mario's words, my eyes lit up, and my heart moved, and at the same time, Mario continued: "City Lord, even if you can't mine the magic crystal, but the silver and iron ore mined are all minerals of great value, and they are all materials to be used in our workshop, as long as these guys work hard, then ...... It's going to be hard for us at first, but it won't be long before everything gets better!"

En'en'......

Listening to Mario's words, I couldn't help but nod my head again and again, yes...... Are you afraid that you won't be able to live, as long as you are willing to do a thousand, are you afraid that you won't have any money to earn? For the sake of freedom, I believe that these guys will definitely work hard!

Thinking of this, I excitedly turned to all the slaves and said in a loud voice: "Okay, I now announce that from now on, you are already a member of the Phantom City, and I swear, unless you are lazy and do not live a thousand lives, otherwise, I will never sell you!"

Oh, oh, oh......

Hearing my words, all the slaves were stunned for a moment, and then cheered wildly, and for a while, the entire arena turned into a sea of joy.
