The fat Lu Jin smiled and said, "Thanks to General Ye, we were able to escape from the Demon Axe Gang. Thank you again, General Ye, for saving our lives."
Xiaoyu smiled shyly and said, "General Ye is the most handsome human being I have ever seen."
Xiaoyu had no good feelings towards humans and always thought they were slaves, weak, and mentally retarded. However, Ye Feng gave Xiaoyu a different impression, one of elegance, humor, and bravery.
"Saving a life is too serious. I just did a little favor. Just consider it as helping a friend."
Lu Jin smiled and said, "We are lucky to be friends with General Ye."
"Mr. Lu Jin, you have lived in Caisha City for a long time, right?"
"I have been working in the spacecraft manufacturing factory for more than 20 years."
"I want to know some information about Caisha City. How many human slaves are there in Caisha City?"
Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and made a simple calculation: "I can only give an approximate number, at least more than 200,000 people. There are hundreds of large and small sand mining companies in the Sand Mining City. On average, each company employs at least 2,000 slaves to mine sand. And our spaceship manufacturing plant alone requires more than 10,000 slaves."
Xiaoyu guessed: "General Ye, do you want to liberate the slaves in Caisha City?"
Ye Feng smiled faintly and did not answer, which was equivalent to his agreement.
Lu Jin said calmly: "That's not easy. Although General Ye is very capable, there are tens of thousands of defenders there. How can General Ye do it alone?"
Jiang Yixue smiled and pointed at the towering giant stone statue behind her: "Our stone giant army can completely destroy the defense of Caisha City. The Forbidden City is much stronger than Caisha City's defense and has now been occupied by us."
Only then did Lu Jin and his companions realize that the city was in a mess, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river. They had not seen it because the giant stone statue blocked their view.
A look of horror flashed across Xiaoyu's face: "I have been smelling blood. It turns out that the city is full of corpses."
Looking at the corpses, Lu Tong and Lu Jin both showed expressions of horror. Mr. Lu Jin wanted to say something to Ye Feng, but stopped himself.
Ye Feng sensed that they were frightened, so he spoke in a very gentle tone, not wanting to scare them again.
"Mr. Lu Jin, just say whatever you want to say."
"General Ye, I have been in Caisha City for many years and have some feelings for this city. Caisha City is different from other cities. It is actually a free city. The demons there don't care whose territory it is. They only care about how much money they can make. Although the environment in Caisha City is harsh, it has an inexhaustible supply of black iron sand. People from all over the demon world are eyeing this desert. All machinery, spaceships, and weapons require black iron sand. Most of the people in the city are sand miners who come here to do business. I hope General Ye can spare their lives."
Old man Lu Tong sighed and said, "Lu Jin, you can't blame General Ye for this. Once the war starts, he has no choice."
Ye Feng said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't kill them all. If I occupy Caisha City, it's just to stop the slaves from being oppressed and give them the right to live a normal life. I don't want to destroy the economic prosperity of Caisha City. I just want humans and demons to have equal power. As long as they meet my conditions, I can not kill a single person."
It would be best if those demon merchants could carry out normal trade and their machinery and equipment, including the spacecraft construction base, could be used for their own purposes without being destroyed.
However, such a situation is very difficult to achieve, almost impossible, so Ye Feng just wanted to give it a try.
Old man Lu Tong smiled and said, "It turns out that General Ye is also a kind person. In fact, there is a key person in Caisha City. Even Lord Zuolu has to be very polite when he sees him. If General Ye can tell this person his idea, perhaps all the slaves can be liberated without a single soldier."
"Oh, who is Mr. Lu Tong talking about?"
"He is the mayor of Caisha City and the owner of the spaceship factory, Mr. Shaduo. More than 100 sand mining companies in Caisha City have established a joint chamber of commerce, and Mr. Shaduo is the president. Shaduo is my friend, and I can introduce you to him, but I cannot control the details."
"Thank you, old man Lu Tong. I can give it a try. I hope I can free the slaves without a single soldier."
Lu Jin reminded, "It's really unfortunate. City Lord Shaduo has had health problems recently and has not shown up in the City Lord's Mansion. All affairs have been handed over to his subordinates to take care of."
"It's really hard to see him then."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Since he is sick, it is easier to meet him. Uncle Lu Tong, just say that I am a doctor and take me to the City Lord's Mansion to meet him and treat him. If he can give freedom to the slaves, I promise not to damage any grass or tree in Caisha City."
Lu Tong's eyes lit up: "Good idea, let's go to the sand mining city now."
Jiang Yuxin and Lan Ling'er heard that there was a spaceship construction base in Caisha City and they really wanted to go and take a look.
"Are we going too?"
"Of course, we'll all go together."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Before I go, I have to deal with the bodies in the Forbidden City. Exposing them like this is disrespectful to these warriors and will also pose a health hazard."
Ye Feng's mind moved, and more than 18,000 stone men received Ye Feng's instructions and started digging holes together.
Their hands were like excavators, quickly digging huge holes in the ground, burying the bodies of the silver-armored warriors in them, and then filling them with soil.
The Stoneman Legion was fully mobilized, and in less than half an hour, they had processed and buried all the corpses in the Forbidden City.
Caisha City, which is dozens of miles away from the Forbidden City, is filled with a tense atmosphere. Most of the people in the city saw the shining mushroom cloud in the sky of the Forbidden City.
Everyone was talking about it.
Representatives from dozens of sand mining companies gathered in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, hoping that the City Lord would come out to explain the situation. They were all worried about their own fate.
"What happened in the forbidden city?"
"Something exploded and we all felt the vibration."
"Is it the end of the world?"
Shaduo is an old demon with white hair and beard and a face full of wrinkles.
He had just received a hologram from the Lord of the Left Route, informing him that the Forbidden City had been completely lost and occupied by Ye Feng. All the silver-armored warriors in the city had died in battle, and even the Tianluo No. 1 battleship had exploded.
The Great Lord Realm has already dispatched ten Tianluo warships, but it will take three hours to reach the Desert City, so the people of the Desert City should calm down first and evacuate according to the procedures.
Shaduo was a little anxious. He had been infected with a strange disease. The magic energy in his magic core was intermittent and his whole body was in unbearable pain.
