With the collection of troops from the Yunwang Mansion and the return to Yunzhou, the remnants of the Great Xia Dynasty stubbornly defended the central Kyushu, the Yunlong Palace unified the west, and the demon clan was not wreaking havoc, but retreated in the six northern states. For a while, the world seemed to have become calm from the smoke of the beacons, as if the horses were put into Nanshan and the swords were put into storage, and the huge Metaverse seemed to have regained peace all of a sudden.

But only those who really understand know that this is nothing more than a rare calm before the storm, confusing some ordinary people. In fact, the situation in the Metaverse is not only not relaxed, but is becoming more and more tense, and all parties are fighting hard, which may set off greater waves at any time.

However, this rare calm gave the people of the world a breath of breath, and as the war subsided, countless displaced people began to return one after another and began to rebuild new homes.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In the past three years, because the Terran forces are divided into three (Great Xia Dynasty, Yunwang Mansion and Yunlong Palace), all forces are not easy to destroy, so they have restrained each other a lot. Although there were constant small disturbances on the border, it did not affect the lives of ordinary people, but became much more peaceful and stable because of the reduction of various princes.

The leaders of the three forces are not simple characters, and naturally they will not do anything to quench their thirst, and in the past three years, they have all been lightly dispensing with their meager endowments, cultivating internal affairs, and training soldiers and horses, so that ordinary people have lived a peaceful life for a few years.

It's just that with the passage of time, the wounds after the original war have begun to recover, the swallowed things have been digested, the treasury has become full, and the soldiers have become first-class elites after the war, and the contradictions under the pressure have gradually become acute. Once again, the forces of all sides are vigorously fighting and looking around, and there is a possibility that another wave may be set off at any time.

It's just that once a war breaks out this time, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to stop! 、

Cloud Dragon City.

Qin Yun sat alone in the restaurant, pouring himself a drink, enjoying himself, looking like an ordinary young scholar, like most of the Yunlong Academy students in Yunlong City, he did not have the domineering spirit of one of the three overlords of the human race, the Yunlong King.

Looking at the scene of people coming and going on the street, the corners of Qin Yun's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile. Although there is still a gap between Yunlong City and Zhiyun City (where the capital city of Yunzhou is located, and it is also the royal city of Yunwangfu), it surpasses most of the cities in the world and has the reputation of the third largest city in the world, which is already very good for such an original remote place in the West.

This also represents the fact that the West has finally been officially accepted by the Central Plains.

With the prominence of the strength and the gradual increase in the importance of the Cloud Dragon Palace, especially after the destruction of the Buddha Gate and the forced removal of Cuiyun Mountain, the forces of the world have to look at the Cloud Dragon Palace, a force that has risen like a meteor. Whether it is the Great Xia Dynasty or the Yunwang Mansion, they have adopted a strategy of wooing the Yunlong Palace, and now the Yunlong Palace is also a big force in the Metaverse, which has also made the six western states begin to enter the eyes of the world.

With the help of the Dragon Palace of the West Sea, some Western specialties were quickly transported to the Central Plains, causing a huge sensation. At the same time, the huge interests also attracted a large number of businessmen to come, and for this situation, Qin Yun and the others were naturally happy to see it, or even intentionally.

The saying that you can't live without business is very reasonable.

For a time, the West attracted a large number of people, making the six western states more and more prosperous.

However, this is not what makes Qin Yun the most happy, what makes Qin Yun most happy is that the West has finally been accepted by most of the human races, and there are more and more human races who have come to settle in the six western states for various reasons, among which there are many advanced cultivators and all kinds of talents.

The Metaverse has been quiet for nearly a thousand years, even if there are occasional disputes, it is a small fight, and the most wars are still the northern town demon pass against the demon clan, for most people, war is a very distant word. Even if the Xia Emperor's rebellion a few years ago caused a lot of turmoil, it was also a local turmoil, and for most people in the Metaverse, they still didn't feel the pain of war, and naturally they didn't know the cruelty of war.

And for Qin Yun, Liu Jinyuan and Nangong Cheng, war is not far away at all, they are all experienced in a hundred battles. Therefore, they know very well that for war, the most important thing is never the elixir and the like, and even the grain and grass are not the most important, the vast land and fertile oily soil of the Metaverse, coupled with the popularity of cultivators, have never lacked food in the Metaverse.

For war, the most important thing is always people.

It's both talent and population!

Those who have not experienced war will never know the cruelty of the battlefield, nor will they ever understand the importance of the population, and whether it is victory or defeat on the battlefield, it is entirely the accumulation of human life. The further back you go, the more important the population becomes. This is evident from the Hundred Years' War of the Three Kingdoms of China, which reduced an empire of 40 to 50 million after the war to less than 8 million.

This is still an ordinary war without cultivators, and once practitioners join it, the results speak for themselves.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Qin Yun, Liu Jinyuan and others were saddened by the huge loss of population caused by the civil strife in the West, and it also made the Yunlong Palace in the post-war frenzied absorption of displaced people due to the war, and even more almost directly sent troops to cross the border to loot the population.

It's a pity that this kind of good thing didn't last long, and when the Yunwang Mansion and the Great Xia Dynasty ceased war, the Yunlong Palace could no longer absorb a large number of displaced people, and even a small part of the population was getting smaller and smaller, until the last one was gone.

Not only that, because of the subsidence of the war, many people who have lost from the Central Plains want to return to their hometowns, after all, the fallen leaves are deeply rooted in everyone's mind, and they will not change easily. If it weren't for a series of policies such as Yunlong Palace's granting land, rewarding the population, and opening academies, I am afraid that most of the people would really not be able to stay.

Even so, there are still a small number of people who insist on returning to their hometowns, and Yunlong Palace does not force them to stay, and even sends them out of the country as gifts, giving everyone who leaves a certain amount of food. After all, the twisted melon is not sweet, and besides, the reputation of the wild land of the West is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and letting this small group of people leave can also spread the situation in the West and change the image of the past.

It was precisely the original move that made the West quickly accepted by most of the Terrans in other state capitals after the war, not to mention that it immediately changed the outlook of all the people of the world, but it also made the Yunlong Palace highly praised among the Terrans.

Strength is a part, reputation is also a part, both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard.
