"Lord, the Star Empire is divided into five states, southeast, northwest, and middle, of which Zhongzhou is the most powerful, with one hundred and eight counties, each county has thirty-six cities, and each city has a seventh-order star warrior.

The four states in the southeast, northwest, and northwest are slightly weaker, with only sixty-six counties, each of which has thirty-six cities, most of which are only under the command of sixth-order star warriors, and only a few cities are under the command of seventh-order star warriors!

In addition to the five states in the southeast, northwest, and central states, the Xingyu Empire also has an imperial capital city independent of the five states. The Imperial Capital City is located at the foot of the mountain range in the center of the Star Continent, with the richest star power, rich resources, and a large population, which is directly controlled by the imperial family, and has the largest number of strong people, and can easily sweep the land of the five states. The Eighth Prince Zhao Yan introduced loudly.

"Wait a minute, you said that the strong man of the Imperial Capital City can sweep the land of the Five Prefectures? How is this possible! If the Imperial Capital City has such a strong strength, how can the empire's control over the Five Prefectures be so low, leaving the Five Prefectures in a state of secession, and a city is like a country!" Yang Rui frowned slightly, interrupting Zhao Yan's introduction and questioning.

"Lord, the population of 1.8 billion people in the Imperial Capital City, every adult has at least the cultivation strength of a second-order star warrior, more than half of them have the cultivation strength of a third-order star warrior and above, and among them, there are millions of standing troops, and every soldier has the cultivation strength of a fifth-order star warrior or above.

In addition to the standing army composed of millions of fifth-order star warriors, the Imperial Capital City also has an elite legion composed of 200,000 sixth-order star warriors, an ace legion composed of sixty thousand seventh-order star warriors, a guardian legion composed of three thousand eighth-order star warriors, and a Zhenguo legion composed of thirty-six ninth-order star warriors!

The Imperial Capital City has such a powerful legion, as long as it is dispatched, it can easily sweep through the land of the five states.

It's just that there are a large number of star beasts on the central mountain range where the Imperial Capital City is located, and the strength of these star beasts is extremely strong, among which there are many eighth- and ninth-order star beasts, which contain most of the power of the Imperial Capital City, so that the powerful legions of the Imperial Capital City cannot leave the Imperial Capital City.

Of course, if it was just that, the Imperial Capital City could also casually dispatch some eighth-order star warriors to easily suppress the cities in the land of the five states, so that the cities in the land of the five states could honestly obey the orders of the imperial family.

However, the cities in the land of the five states are a chicken rib for the imperial family, and there is no need to send a strong person to suppress it, as long as the cities in the land of the five states do not openly betray the empire, the imperial family will not suppress it under normal circumstances!

And most of the state and county city lords of the five states know the strength and bottom line of the empire, although they disobey the orders of the imperial family, they do not dare to rebel openly, and still carry the banner of the empire!" the eighth prince of the empire explained softly.

"Since the imperial family doesn't look down on the land of the Five States, then why did they send you to trouble me?" Yang Rui frowned slightly.

"A star palace appeared in the central mountain range next to the Imperial Capital City not long ago! After the Star Palace was born, it released an incomparably pure star power, enveloping the entire central mountain range, causing the star beasts in the central mountain range to skyrocket, and they lost their minds and began to attack the Imperial Capital City frantically.

Although the strength of the Imperial Capital City is strong, it is also powerless in the face of hundreds of millions of powerful beasts, and it cannot take care of too many people, so that hundreds of people die tragically under the minions of the star beasts.

At the same time, the army of the Imperial Capital City also suffered heavy losses under the attack of a large number of Star Beasts who were not afraid of life and death, and could only be forced to shrink the defensive line, abandon the vast wilderness area, and use a powerful formation to keep the Star Beasts out of the Imperial Capital City.

In order to reduce the loss of the Imperial Capital City, and in order to solve the threat of the Star Beasts outside the Imperial Capital City as soon as possible, it was decided to send an envoy to obtain the inheritance of the puppet army on your body, and with the help of the power of the puppet army, to make up for the lack of low-level combat power in the Imperial Capital City. Zhao Yan, the eighth prince of the empire, responded.

"According to your estimates, how long will it take for the Imperial Family to send a second batch of envoys to trouble me?" Yang Rui asked softly with a glint in his eyes.

"The Empire's eighth- and ninth-order star warriors are all resisting those eighth- and ninth-order star beasts, and it is difficult to draw out too many manpower, so if the imperial family wants to find trouble with you, they must wait for a while, slowly adjust, and draw out an elite eighth-order star warrior team from the battle line, or draw out a ninth-order star warrior.

When this adjustment is made, I think it should be about a month!Of course, a month's time is just my estimate, and I can't guess how much time it will take!" Zhao Yan, the eighth prince, pondered for a while.

"One month is completely enough!" Yang Rui said with a smile on his face.

In a month's time, Yang Rui could completely use the star stones of the star stone vein to raise his cultivation to the eighth order, or even the cultivation strength of the ninth-order star warrior, and he was not afraid of the threat of the powerhouses of the imperial capital city at all.

However, Yang Rui didn't prepare for a month, and wasted all his time waiting.

Yang Rui plans to take advantage of this month's time to lead the puppet army under his command to sweep through the entire Imperial Dongzhou and bring all the Imperial Dongzhou under his control.

Once he obtained the resources of Dongzhou, Yang Rui could easily be promoted to a ninth-order star warrior, and refine a large number of high-level puppet warriors, with a puppet army that could always confront the Imperial Capital City head-on, and even crush the Imperial Capital City.

After having an idea in his heart, Yang Rui did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and immediately took back all the fourth-order and above-order puppet warriors on the Star Beast Mountain Range, and asked Wang Yupeng to gather all the sixth-order star warriors in the city under his command.

After that, Yang Rui asked Wang Yupeng and Tao Yuanliang and other sixth- and seventh-order star warriors who surrendered to Cheng to lead ten seventh-order puppet warriors and three hundred sixth-order puppet warriors, divided into ten squads, and rushed in the direction of the ten cities, captured the ten cities, and collected the star stones and various materials in the ten cities.

The city allocated by Yang Rui to Wang Yupeng and the others is just a city similar to Giant Stone City, and the strongest one only has the cultivation strength of the sixth-order peak, and with the puppet warriors that Yang Rui equipped them, they can easily capture the city.

After arranging all this, Yang Rui did not hesitate or hesitate at all, and immediately took Zhao Yan and galloped away in the direction of Donglai County.

Soon, Yang Rui crossed the distance of 10,000 miles, came to the vicinity of the county seat of Donglai County, and landed.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Rui waved his hand, and 300,000 puppet warriors with the lowest combat power of fourth-order star warriors flew out of the puppet tower, forming a powerful puppet army, and under the leadership of Yang Rui, they rushed towards the direction of Donglai County.

The puppet legion's movements were very large, without the slightest cover-up, and they were discovered by the guards of Donglai County at the first time, and sounded a terrible alarm.

Enemy attack! Enemy attack!

In the midst of a terrible sound, the gate of the county town of Donglai County closed quickly, and countless elite guards climbed the city wall, clenched the weapons in their hands, and cautiously looked at the puppet army galloping over.

At the same time, the county guards of Donglai County and the powerhouses of the major families in the city also came to the city wall of Donglai County one after another, opened a pair of eyes, and looked in the direction where the puppet army was, with a solemn look on their faces.

For the puppet army under Yang Rui's command, the county guard of Donglai County and the major families in the city are no strangers, and when Yang Rui rose, they began to pay attention to Yang Rui and the puppet army under his command.

But although he knew something about Yang Rui and the puppet army under his command, after seeing the puppet warriors above the 300,000 fourth-order star warriors, the county guards of Donglai County and the powerhouses of the major families couldn't help but change their faces greatly, and their eyes were full of shock.

Soon, the puppet legion came to Donglai County thousands of kilometers away, slowly stopped, and made way of a passage, allowing Yang Rui to ride a seventh-order beast-shaped puppet warrior, slowly came to the front of Donglai County, and looked at Meng Liangde, the county guard of Donglai County, above the county wall of the county with a smile: "I am Yang Rui, the lord of the puppets, immediately open the city gate and surrender, I can spare your life and let you keep a layer of wealth, otherwise after I break through the city gate, you will all be killed, and your wealth will be confiscated!"

Meng Liangde, the county guard of Donglai County, flashed in his eyes, and took a step forward and said: "Yang Rui, it's not impossible for you to want us to surrender, as long as you can defeat me, I will surrender to you at the gate of the city gate, and dedicate all the wealth above the ninth floor of the city lord's mansion to you!"

Meng Liangde is a seventh-order peak star warrior, ready to use his strong cultivation strength to kill Yang Rui in the challenge, and then solve the threat of the puppet army.

"Since you want to challenge me, then I'll give you a chance!"

As soon as Meng Liangde's voice fell, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Yang Rui's mouth, and as soon as his body moved, he rose into the air, suspended in mid-air, stretched out his finger, and hooked Meng Liangde, with a look of victory on his face.

Seeing Yang Rui's appearance of winning the victory, Meng Liangde's eyes flashed fiercely, and he immediately held a silver spear, soared into the air, and flew into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the star power in Meng Liangde's body surged wildly, and the silver spear in his hand flashed with starlight, with an incomparably sharp edge, and stabbed straight towards Yang Rui's head, a picture of wanting to pierce Yang Rui's head.

"Starlight Sword!"

Looking at Meng Liangde, who was rapidly approaching, Yang Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he snorted lightly, the star power in his body surged, and his body flickered, and he approached Meng Liangde's side, and the five-element sword in his hand, with a bright starlight, slashed through Meng Liangde's neck, easily breaking through his body protection star power cover, leaving a clear sword mark on his neck, and a trace of red blood flowed out of the sword mark.

"How is this possible!Lord County Guard is a seventh-order peak star warrior, how could he be defeated by Yang Rui with one move!

"Could it be that Yang Rui is an eighth-order star warrior, otherwise how could he defeat the city lord with one move!"

"Yang Rui is not an eighth-order star warrior, it's just that Yang Rui's star power is very pure and powerful, and his combat power is comparable to that of an eighth-order star warrior!"

"This is incredible, isn't it! How old is Yang Rui? How can he have such a strong combat power!"

"Lord County Shou was defeated by Yang Rui with one move, our county town can't hold it, we have to hand over the wealth of the ninth layer to Yang Rui, it's really unwilling!"

Of course, the premise is that you don't shoot to death, and if you don't shoot to death, you will be wiped out!"

“、、、、、、”

On the city wall of Donglai County, the powerhouses of the Donglai County City Lord's Mansion and the powerhouses of the major families saw that Yang Rui easily defeated Meng Liangde, and their faces changed greatly, and they couldn't help but talk.

"I'm willing to lose, open the city gate, and let the puppet army enter the city!"

Meng Liangde touched the blood marks on his neck, and ordered loudly with a helpless look on his face.

With Meng Liangde's order, the gate of the county town of Donglai County was opened, and 300,000 elite puppet soldiers began to enter the county town and take over the defense of the county town.

As the 300,000 puppet army entered the county town and took over the defense of the county town, the county city completely fell into the palm of Yang Rui's hands.

After that, the county guard of Donglai County and the powerhouses of the major families were all controlled by Yang Rui using the Divine Control Technique, and became Yang Rui's most loyal servant, unable to betray Yang Rui.

At the same time, the star stones and resources above the ninth floor of the county town of Donglai County were also quickly gathered into Yang Rui's hands, and were included in the puppet tower by Yang Rui, transforming them into pure star power and a large number of puppet warriors.

When Yang Rui was in control of the county seat of Donglai County, Wang Yupeng, Tao Yuanliang and others also led a large number of sixth- and seventh-order puppet warriors to easily capture one city after another, control ten cities in their hands, and collect the star stones and resources above the ninth floor of ten cities and send them to Yang Rui's hands.
