Chapter 142: Xiongcheng
Hesse sat on top of the main hall, guarding the two henchmen of Wei Yu and the King of Dongshan, looking at the empty hall, and gently exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"I've given you a chance! Now it's all your own choice, you can't blame me!"
Looking at the disappearing figure outside the hall, Hesse sneered in his heart, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world, you can get benefits without hard work?
Hesse has worked hard to expand these territories, how can he be so easily divided, let these demon kings take advantage of them in vain, and then be betrayed by these loyal demon kings when the wind is finally headwinded?
If you want to take it, you must give it first!
The demon kings who took refuge in Hesse in the mountains before turned against him at a critical moment, so that Hesse didn't have any expectations for these demon kings who came to take refuge!
Now that these demon kings have come to take refuge, Hesse will not believe how loyal these demon kings are.
Hesse is now like this, throwing out such a large territory and generously giving it to these demon kings, unlike other big demon kings, who would rather lack than abuse, and would rather spend effort to cultivate their own bloodline or the same clan, rather than cheapen other demon kings, naturally they have their own dependence!
The forty-one black flags that Hesse threw out before were naturally the forty-one military flags under the Black Jiao King. Hesse gave up forty-one immortal-level souls, and gave birth to forty-one sacrificial spells from the chest of the Chiyou Demon God, and entered the forty-one military flags.
With a banner and a place, these demon kings are the banner envoys in the future Hessian army, as for loyalty, hehe, once the military flag is refined, it is imperceptibly transformed by the sacrificial spell hidden in it, and finally branded into the soul, and then it will be in the same situation as those demon generals in Chi Youwan, although it is not as sane as the demon generals, but life and death are between Hessian's thoughts, and loyalty is not important at this time!
So many demon kings covet the territory thrown out by Hessen, even if some of them are vigilant, but there are more demon kings who are blinded by greed, and after a fight, they will finally refine the military flag.
And Hesse doesn't just ask these demon kings to help collect souls, after these demon kings refine the military flags, they will give the corresponding legal decisions, and display the power of these military flags.
In this way, not only can Hesse have forty-one more demon kings under his command, defend his territory, but also continue to expand the number of soul ghost troops, if necessary, he can also harvest regularly, secretly transform these demon kings into demon generals, and then absorb the vacated positions to attract demon kings from all over the world.
As expected, even if there are a few demon kings who are suspicious, but more demon kings have entered the game, and there is a fierce competition around the forty-one military flags, and there are many other demon kings who rushed to hear the news on the way, because Hesse came out and made the previous requirements public, as long as the demon king can participate, which makes the competition very fierce, and after seven days, the dust has settled, and forty-one festival envoys have been decided.
And during this period, there were seven demon kings who died in the battle, and their souls were also taken by the nearby military flags, and more demon kings were seriously injured and withdrew from the battle, and the last ones who could get the military flags were the best among the demon kings.
Hesse also fulfilled his promise, held a grand ceremony, and even specially invited the lion camel king, the great demon king of the north, to come to watch the ceremony, and gave these demon kings a letter of festival seal, which was spread to all directions, so that these demon kings were honored, and the feast took three full days before it ended.
After the ceremony, with these demon kings who had just been sealed carrying the Jiedu Seal and the Jiedu Banner to their respective fiefdoms, this huge area of nearly 5,000 miles was even controlled by Hesse!
After sending away the big demon kings of the Lion and Camel King, Hesse let out a long breath, and this entertainment was really a bit exhausting.
"These sites are fertile land, and it is a good idea to manage them properly. But what I really need to put a lot of effort into is the Buried Bone Desert Sea behind the Beibi Mountains, and it is better to build a cave on the largest oasis, surrounded by the boundless desert, which is a natural defense. Not to mention that I still need to release a huge amount of souls, and I need a fairly large territory!"
Hesse stared at the map in front of him, with Pishan as the center, three thousand miles to the east and large and small lakes to the south, these territories were guarded by the Jiedu that had just been divided, and all the power was delegated, which was equivalent to being contracted out by Hesse, as long as he paid enough offerings every year, he could continue to take office, and he was not afraid of the betrayal of these demon kings, and Hesse was also happy to relax.
To the northwest, the Beibi Mountains are blank and not as dense as the other areas, outlining the valley and rivers, with only a few small dots dotted on them, marking the location of the oasis.
And another map in front of Hesse, is to mark all the oasis forces in the entire buried bone desert sea, especially in the north of the center of this map, there are three relatively large oases, but also the territory occupied by the three demon kings in the desert sea, the strongest strength has not transitioned over the fire robbery, it seems that he still succumbed here to avoid the enemy, the other two demon kings are perennial, one survived the storm hundreds of years ago, and is worried about the upcoming fire disaster, and this time came to compete for the throne of the demon king, this demon king is impressively listed。
As for the last demon king who had not even survived the wind disaster, he was quite well-informed, and after hearing that Hesse had divided this 10,000-mile desert sea into his territory, he did not hesitate at all, and came directly to Hesse, and dedicated the oasis he occupied to Hesse, in order to have a place to live inland.
In this way, as long as the Fire Tribulation Demon King who occupies the largest of the three oases is cleaned up, this 10,000-mile desert sea will be completely Hessian.
And when Hesse ordered the king of Dongshan to stay in the mountain, led the guards to the vast desert sea, ready to subdue the fire robbery demon king entrenched in the oasis, all the way, to this place is nearly fifty miles, as if on a huge island in the sea, but he was stunned to find that the demon king who had survived the fire robbery had led a group of subordinates to stand respectfully in front of the city gate, and opened the city gate, which seemed to be directly surrendered.
That's the benefit of fame!
When the fame reaches a certain level, the power that can be exerted is often more powerful than its own strength, and it is nothing more than a soldier who surrenders without a fight.
Hesse flew in mid-air, looking at the oasis below like an isolated island, and walls were built on the edges of the periphery, gathering the aura in the oasis together, and there were many demons living in it, and they were all kneeling on the ground at this time, welcoming Hesse's arrival.
It's just that this city is not very well built, the city walls are winding, crooked, and uneven, and the stones used are also ordinary stones, but a set of formations to gather spiritual energy is laid out on the oasis, and there is a lack of adequate defense, Hesse frowned when he saw this.
"This oasis and two other oases thousands of miles away, we must put a lot of effort into it, not to mention anything else, at least this city must be built with a lot of money, and it is impregnable!" Hesse stared at the oasis below, his eyes full of black flames, and only after a long time did he say categorically.
Beside Hesse, the black-robed guard also bowed slightly, "The Lord is right, if you don't say anything else, let's just say that this oasis, although the area is a little smaller, only more than fifty miles, but it is enough to build a male city." And the spiritual veins in this vast desert are deeper than the inland area, the ghost who just dived into the ground will report that this oasis is only the tip of the iceberg exposed in the tens of thousands of spiritual veins below, because it is buried by the desert, the spiritual essence has not been consumed too much, the spiritual energy storage is quite huge, and the surrounding is a boundless desert, hanging alone, if it is properly managed, this place is enough to be the foundation of eternity!"
"Or do you know me!" Hesse looked at the guard beside him, smiled and said, "In your opinion, how much does it cost to build this majestic city?"
After pondering for a moment, Wei Yu said slowly: "If the Lord just wants a place for a military camp and uses this place as the base camp of the powerful ghost army in the future, it is just expedient, and it will cost 50,000 immortal jades to be enough. ”
"Then what if Benjun wants to build the foundation of eternity?" Hesse asked leisurely, looking at the vast desert sea.
"The more the merrier!" Wei Yu's eyes flashed with a flame called ambition, overlooking the boundless vast desert, and said proudly: "If you use the unique ghost pattern steel of the Netherworld and the cold iron dug out from the depths of Beiju Luzhou as the main material, supplemented by white jade, build this city, and then engrave all kinds of ghosts, evil spirits, and Netherworld incantation, and finally hook up the leylines, build a large array to operate, as well as all kinds of city building needs, as well as the most critical cost on the city structure map, to reach the specifications of a garrison main city in the Hades, to be able to resist the power of the Heavenly Venerable, without fear of siege, at least five million immortal jade!"
"Ahem!" Hesse coughed loudly, and then stared at Wei Yu with a lot of resentment, full of speechlessness, and wanted to say something, let alone five million, now there are ten thousand immortal jade!
As if he understood what Hesse was thinking, Wei Yu suggested again: "The lord doesn't have to worry about the money consumed, now the lord has five thousand miles of mountains and rivers, and has forty-one towns under his jurisdiction, and most of them are anointed places, just these demon kings pay tribute every ten years to get more than 10,000 immortal jade, if the lord is patient, as long as 5,000 years is enough to meet the needs of the initial construction!"
"Five thousand years, I'm afraid the daylilies will be cold at that time!" Hesse thought that it would take five thousand years to start casting the city, and his heart was full of coldness, at that time, Sun Monkey's scriptures were over!
"Lord, since you want to make this your home base, it is essential to invest in advance. Since you can't do it overnight, let's build a framework first!"
Wei Yu said at the right time: "These city walls must be torn down and rebuilt, and the scale of the city must be expanded, this oasis is divided into an inner city, and then expanded a hundred miles out as an outer city!
