At night, on Longya Island, in a crude palace temporarily built with magic, a group of young rulers and ministers of the Longya Empire were discussing development strategies.
We need to develop and fight at the same time. Chang Lin, the fleet commander of the Shang Kingdom, has given a clear answer - we can stay here for a maximum of two months, and then we must return. This result has brought great pressure to the Longya Empire.
Haozhou and the Shang Kingdom were too far apart, and Chang Lin was worried that returning too late would cause a bad impact. Two months was already the limit. Moreover, this time all the supplies were given to the Longya Empire, and the fleet had to return empty-handed. Who knew what kind of trouble would arise by then.
"We must send people to the Shang Kingdom with the fleet!" Huangfu Lin said in a sonorous and powerful tone, "Whether it is for the purpose of establishing diplomatic relations, expressing gratitude, or learning, we must send people. Perhaps, the people we send will not be able to return until two or even three years later."
The newly appointed Long Aoyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think you should all go to the Kingdom of Shang to study. Let me guard this place temporarily. I can at least ensure that hope is not shattered! And I will not let power fall into the hands of those corrupt people. Therefore, we need to train a few temporary personnel as soon as possible to help manage the country."
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Just invite someone from the Shang Kingdom to be a 'military advisor' and provide guidance!" Gu Ying made a very practical suggestion.
Everyone nodded immediately after hearing this. This method can be said to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it puts himself under the supervision of the Shang Kingdom - for the time being, he still needs the guidance of the Shang Kingdom; on the other hand, it can also make the Shang Kingdom help with all its heart.
People had no idea about industry, commerce, or capitalism. If they wanted to achieve "short, flat, and fast" development, they really had to rely on the power of the Shang Dynasty.
"I'll go and invite Commander Chang Lin to discuss the matter." Duan Longquan was about to get up and leave.
But at this moment, a guard ran to the door frantically and shouted: "The Shang Kingdom's Sky Eye reconnaissance system has discovered a large number of flying monsters in the sky. There are probably tens of thousands of them. They are still 300 kilometers away from us and are expected to arrive in a moment."
"The demons are fighting back!" Everyone stood up immediately, their faces solemn, but not panicked. Because everyone had already made preparations. In order to prevent the demons from attacking, they had already taken down a spare Sky Eye reconnaissance system from the warship and installed it.
What's more, the Sky Eye reconnaissance system on the warship also did not stop.
Chang Lin was also startled on the warship at this time. But compared to the young man from the Dragon Tooth Empire who crawled out of the corpse, Chang Lin was still a little surprised.
It was the first time that so many monsters were seen, and the Sky Eye reconnaissance system couldn’t even tell how many monsters were flying over.
The officer in charge of reconnaissance said, "Three hundred kilometers ahead, there is a demon army that looks like a dark cloud. It stretches for more than fifty kilometers and the march width is probably ten kilometers. In addition, the demons this time are a little special. The Sky Eye reconnaissance system can't detect any images, spiritual energy, etc. If it weren't for the infrared reconnaissance system, we wouldn't have noticed that there were demons flying over!"
Chang Lin looked to the southwest. The sky was clear and the stars were shining. A half moon was hanging high in the sky, and there were a few thin white clouds floating in the sky.
