Chapter 197 Return to Huanglong City
Ian thought for a moment and said:
"First of all, the Southern Region has suffered such a huge loss, they will definitely not give up, but since the human traitor military advisor has been arrested, they should not dare to launch a large-scale war. The king only needs to prepare for the Southern Region's surprise attack.
Secondly, to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. The king needs to unify the forces of the various great demon kings in the Western Region as soon as possible before attempting to expand. "
“Well, sir, what you said is that Marshal Meiqi’s army will rest for three days.
In addition, this king has specially approved 1 elites from the Mengba clan to assist you in conquering the forces of the great demon king Dukui."
Ian interrupted:
"Wait, this isn't right!"
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"There are eight forces in the Western Region. If we nibble at them one by one, it will inevitably lead to joint resistance from other forces. To subdue the enemy, we don't necessarily have to rely on force. As the saying goes, attacking the heart is the best. Force only serves as a deterrent. It is easier to control the enemy's forces by using strategies to make the enemy surrender. Let me ask, if force is used to solve the problem, who will guard this force? One or two is fine, but how big is the Western Region, and how vast is the demon race?"
Charlotte, Meiqige and the others looked thoughtful and looked at this human with a higher regard. "What do you think, sir?"
Ian was very satisfied with their attitude. At least they listened to him, which was easy to grasp. "Since the once-in-a-century Golden List Competition is coming up, I need to participate in this competition. The matter of the Great Demon King Charlotte needs to be taken slowly. How about we wait until we come back to expand it?"
The demons had already tasted the sweetness of the Avengers and had become somewhat dependent on them. They nodded and said:
"Alright, then I will wait for you to return. Come on..."
At this time, seventeen fox girls came out from the back hall, holding an exquisite white jade plate in their hands, on which were placed storage rings. The first five had one each, and the last twelve had ten each.
Charlotte picked up the first one and said:
"This is a generous gift that the king specially prepared for you. I wish you all a speedy and triumphant return!" Then he gave the ring to Ian, and the other four were handed over to the four captains by the fox girl, and the others were distributed to the team members in turn.
Everyone used their spiritual power to probe in and took a casual look. They were all shocked. They were all natural treasures, delicious food and fine wines unique to the demon clan. Ian also had thousands of spirit crystal mines the size of a human head.
These spirit crystal ores can be used to extract high-purity spirit crystals or spirit stones through special methods!
Ian was very satisfied. It seemed that the demon race was not ignorant of the ways of the world. Although their IQ was not high, their EQ was not low at all!
Ian expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Avengers and Charlotte, and also made a request, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have another favor to ask of you, Your Majesty!"
"Oh? Tell me what you can do. I will definitely help you if you can!"
"It's like this. I need the king to contain the Southern Region before we return and prevent them from harassing the ancient Shu border too much. After all, we are human beings.
Moreover, our goal is to help the Great Demon King Charlotte unify the demon race and become non-aggression allies with the demon race, so please give me a handwritten letter. We will return in one year at the least and five years at the most."
The Great Demon King Charlotte was quite courageous. "This is easy to handle. Come on, prepare the gold foil and ink..."

In this way, the Avengers team completed the mission relatively successfully. After returning to ancient Shu, they handed over the letter and two human spies to the King of Shu.
Under the interrogation of the great wizard, the whole story was finally known. These two people belonged to two major forces in ancient Shu. They were both powerful people who wanted to rely on the Southern Demon Clan to fight against the King of Shu. At the same time, many Southern Demon Clan had infiltrated various important institutions. If left alone, Shu would face external and internal troubles. This time, the Avengers team happened to break the plan, which made a great contribution to ancient Shu.
The King of Shu did not need to pretend to be sick behind the scenes. He used thundering means to eradicate these rebels and purify the politics and economy of ancient Shu.
With this handwritten letter from the Great Demon King of the Western Regions, Ancient Shu no longer had to be on guard against the war in the Southern Region all the time, and immediately promised to do its utmost to help resist the Shuanglongling crisis one year later.
Ian also had a request. The equipment forging capabilities of the ancient Shu people far exceeded those of the human race in the outside world. He asked Xinghun to hand over the broken Eternal Night Staff Gun to his father, the Duke of Zhenguo, Xinglan, hoping that it could be repaired.
Although he had received the promise from Gu Shu, he was still worried. He needed to contact more forces for help. He purchased a large number of high-tech equipment from Gu Shu and returned to Huanglong City.
Huanglong City has changed a lot. It has a large population and numerous shops. The Tianlong Chamber of Commerce is the strongest force on the surface, but it is only a local tyrant. The outside forces are slightly weaker because their headquarters are not in Huanglong City.
Gu Neis and Li Batian followed Ian's instructions and did not interfere too much with them, including turning a blind eye to the eight major families in Xinhe City settling in. External forces did not dare to easily provoke this local snake. As for the combat power of the Tianlong Guard, they had seen it many times. There were even rumors that the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce had some unknown relationship with the mysterious Shuanglong Ridge.
Take the Ximen family for example. In order to find Dima, they wantonly disturbed the people and the Chamber of Commerce in Huanglong City and were stopped by the Tianlong Guards. The two sides clashed several times and many were killed by the Tianlong Guards. Finally, the captain of the Tianlong Guards ordered that no one from the Ximen family would be allowed to enter Huanglong City in the future.
With the large amount of resources supplied by the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce, the two captains Daisy and Yelle officially broke through to the sixth level, including the eight generals under Li Batian who also reached the sixth level.
If the eighth level doesn't appear, the seventh level can walk all over the place, and the sixth level is the absolute combat power. The Tianlong Pavilion has already established a firm foothold in Huanglong City. Seventh level masters rarely come to such a border city. Even if they do, the Tianlong Guards will not be afraid of them with the help of the magic crystal cannon.
When the Avengers team returned, all the strong men above level six in Tianlongju and the middle and high-level members of Tianlong Pavilion gathered together, a total of nearly thirty people.
Ian couldn't help but nod as he listened to everyone's reports. When he heard that the Ximen family had fought several times, he was full of murderous aura, "Is it the Ximen family again?"
Li Batian added:
"Boss, according to the intelligence feedback, the Ximen family believes that this is the place where Dima disappeared. They will gather people to Huanglong City to investigate in the near future. The Tianlong Guard will be their first target."
Ian sneered, "That's great. Pass the order and prepare for battle. We will never be the ones to passively take a beating."
"Yes."
Gu Neisi continued, "Boss, our business has now expanded to various cities outside the Central Continent, thanks to the help of Wan'er and the eight business geniuses next to me."
Ian couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when he saw Wan'er's resentful eyes. Ian could feel Wan'er's affection for him, but he already had someone in his heart and couldn't accept anyone else. He nodded, laughed dryly and looked at the other eight people.
According to Gu Neis's introduction, Ian learned that they were all business geniuses from various cities, and allowed them to join Tianlong Pavilion.
