After Phaethon left, the panda's life returned to peace. He still exercises and works every day, schedules his time very tightly, and lives a very robotic life.

Many travelers can't understand why he is working so hard, in fact, he doesn't feel that he is trying too hard at all, and can only be regarded as a normal work life. It's just that their entertainment methods are different from others - some people like to eat, some people like to drink, some people are addicted to women's sex and can't extricate themselves, and some people pet cats for more than eight hours a day, why can't anyone like martial arts exercises?

Anyway, he thinks it's quite pleasant, and it's good to be happy.

But his peaceful life was soon shattered again, this time by Yunero who came to contact him.

"I'm planning a larger military operation in the near future, can I help?" Yunero asked.

"Absolutely. The panda agreed, and then asked.

It turned out that after this period of operation, Yunero already had a large number of troops under his command - about 4,000 lizardmen, nearly 2,000 fishmen, more than 100 merfolk, and a mixed mix of humans and other races added up to five or six hundred, totaling nearly 7,000.

If these 7,000 men are an army, then the number is huge, and it can be called a hegemon in the South China Sea. It's just that more than 7,000 people under his command are civilians, not to mention professional soldiers and adventurers, even if you count those militias who have only undergone some military training, they can only make up less than a thousand troops at most.

Among the 7,000 people, there are 1,000 troops, which should be placed on the earth, which is definitely a typical example of reckless militarism, and it has been exhausted to the point of madness. But the situation in this world is different, the lizardfolk race is inherently stronger than humans, and adult civilians can be called qualified militia with a little training. Yunero selected 600 strong men out of the 4,000 lizardmen, and instead of thinking that he was reckless, everyone thought that he was a little negligent and did not pay enough attention to the work of strengthening the armament.

In this regard, Yunero explained that "our team is not strong enough, there is no need to attract too much attention, the most important thing at present is to produce, store enough food, contact and unite more people, and continue to grow our own power, which is the most appropriate choice."

However, he was able to convince his subordinates, his allies, but not his enemies.

The South China Sea is a chaotic place, with thousands of inhabited islands. Among these islands, there are countless large and small forces. The most powerful of them are often able to control multiple islands, while the weaker ones join forces with others to seek domination.

Among these forces, the Mermaid Kingdom is naturally the most powerful, and can be called the leader of the South China Sea. But the identity of this "alliance leader" is actually not very stable, basically the further south, the more forces obey the orders of the alliance leader; the further north and east, the fewer people buy the alliance leader's account - as for the western part of the South China Sea, there is a paradise for pirates, and all pirates respect the pirate king Barbarossa as the alliance leader, and they only show a minimum of respect for the mermaid kingdom.

If Yune established the intended Lizardman Kingdom in the south-central part of the South China Sea Islands, then with the support of the Mermaid Kingdom for him, there would basically be no resistance, and it would be established smoothly. But this is really very suspicious of eating soft rice, and he is unwilling.

Since you don't want to eat soft rice, you can only rely on yourself. In the end, his choice was to come to the eastern part of the South China Sea and choose an island called "Longtou Island" as the base of the organization.

The name Longtou Island sounds very imposing, but in fact its status is not low - it is the northernmost of the "Sea Dragon Islands" in a group of archipelagos, and it is also the only one in this archipelago that is located in the main shipping route of the South China Sea. To the north, the island is a wide plain with dense primeval forests nearly 200 miles in diameter, while the south is a bit narrow and almost entirely mountainous. There are more than 100,000 people on the whole island, and it is also a relatively large island in the entire South China Sea. The most important thing is that as long as you control Longtou Island, you can grasp the lifeblood of the entire Sea Dragon Islands, and then go smoothly and slowly control the entire Sea Dragon Islands, which is not a problem.

If it can control the entire Sea Dragon Islands, then it will be a big force in the eastern part of the South China Sea. With such strength, it is logical to build a country and become a king.

However, it was logical for him to do what about the original forces of the Sea Dragon Islands?

Some of these people are willing to hug their thighs, some are unwilling to be under others, and some already have backers behind them, or even simply sent by other big forces...... In general, at least seventy or eighty percent of the forces do not want to see Yunero occupy Longtou Island, and then unify the entire Sea Dragon Islands and officially establish a state and become king.

Yunero has been trying to convince them that they can cooperate, but they can't talk about it, and he also hopes that they can solve the problem with the rules of the rivers and lakes rather than the state.

The rule of the rivers and lakes is that each side sends representatives to decide issues by contest of force and gambles on winning or losing a war; the rule of the state is that both sides pull out their armies to fight, and the winner is the king and the loser is the villain.

It's not that Yunero thinks that the rules of the rivers and lakes are more favorable than the rules of the country, he just doesn't want too many people to die.

However, some people don't think so.

Although there are few people who die, they have to die masters, and they even need to go to the ring to fight to the death. Although there are many people who die according to the rules of the country, it is someone else who dies, and it is nothing if you lose the battle, as long as you can escape.

So, gradually this war became inevitable.

Panda patiently listened to Yuneruo's explanation and asked, "So, what we are facing is a coalition of forces from all sides of the Sea Dragon Islands?"

"It's not that exaggerated, they also have a big internal conflict, and my weight is not enough to force them to unite for the time being. "This time, it was mainly an organization called the 'Iron Shark Chamber of Commerce' that took the lead, and united four or five large and small organizations to compete with me for a piece of farmland in the north-central part of Longtou Island. ”

The panda was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed: "I still think you want to dominate the world, it turns out that it is just the level of the village chief's fighting......"

"There is no village chief in the world with the size of two thousand troops, and the armies of both of us are going to pull to the earth, and I dare not say that we can sweep away thousands of troops, at least sweep all directions, occupy a large area, and blow a 'one sword light cold fourteen states' is absolutely no problem. ”

"But this is not Earth. ”

"I know that this is not the earth, what kind of village chief is fighting!"

Panda laughed, nodded, and ended the private chat with a simple single sentence.

"Give me the coordinates of Longtou Island, and go now. ”
