about the Demon Dragon mentioned by the first Beastman Tribe.
Lin Suo also roughly understood the situation.
It means there’s a Demon Dragon ruling a region, invulnerable to physical attacks, and a large number of beastmen have been enslaved, guaranteed with the life of Shaman Dordo Stone Heart.
The number of enslaved beastmen exceeds a hundred thousand.
This is not a small number.
The estimated population of the entire planet is only a few million.
"Market and Demon Dragon."
After making up his mind, Lin Suo arranged everything, having transformed Earth Elves in the past, forming an intelligent subsidiary Engineering Corps.
He considered increasing the number of Earth Elves soon.
After all, apart from maintaining the operation of the Wizard Tower and feeding the Chimera Corps, there was now the additional task of managing the beastmen.
Merely four hundred operating 24/7 was a bit overwhelming.
Thus, Lin Suo withdrew the Chimera’s culture base, replaced it with that of the Earth Elves, and upgraded it a second time.
Planning to add another six hundred.
To reach a total of one thousand.
The cultivation period for Earth Elves required a month; this period of downtime was when he planned to bring in new beastman laborers.
Once everything was scheduled, the Tower Spirit could perfectly execute his commands.
After arranging everything,
Lin Suo rode on the Chimera King, leading two hundred Chimeras to set out.
Giant beasts soared in the sky, with continuous beastial roars.
Wild beasts and demon beasts along the way kept their distance.
Lin Suo’s first destination was the Demon Dragon’s habitat, which he believed, at most, was of the Third Ring.
Most likely a Mixed Blood Dragon, or a Dragon Beast.
The Dragon Clans from the universe were probably different from those native to Padolon.
Also a chance to gather some new materials and enrich his genetic map.
The Demon Dragon’s nest was hundreds of kilometers away.
The Stone Heart Tribe had once ventured close to it years ago and would have been caught by the Demon Dragon’s minions if not for their quick escape.
After nearly an hour,
Lin Suo finally reached the vicinity of his destination.
He immediately saw the black volcano mentioned by Autain.
Beneath the black volcano, was a makeshift town built of tents by countless beastmen.
Tattered and endless at a glance.
Showing a number much indeed over a hundred thousand.
Their health seemed quite poor though; the migrating beastman tribes were feeble, but had decent muscle development, this group was too large.
Each one was skinny and pale, as if suffering from some grave illness.
"Food and water are fundamental to keeping slave workers, this dragon is no good."
Near the black volcano was fertile soil.
Simply digging the soil and carefully cultivating it for a few years would not leave them in such starvation.
"Beast King, go and challenge."
The Chimera King whizzed out, its horn on the head flashing with thunderbolts, thunderously striking the mouth of the black volcano.
Although the Chimera’s witchcraft capabilities were not strong, it had reached the limit of a Lower Grade Wizard.
The destructive power of the thunderbolt was self-explanatory.
A dizzy purple dragon species flew out of the volcano, spewing a purple pillar of fire towards the Chimera King.
Lin Suo pressed his wristwatch.
The dial popped open, targeted the purple giant dragon, and quickly scanned for relevant information.
This data was collected by the Mechanical God Sect.
Also known as the Monster Atlas.
It recorded millions of various monsters and natives discovered in the known universe.
[Sub-dragon Species—Magic Crystal Dragon]
Strength: Level Three
Special Value: Magic Crystal Dragon Scale (Level Six material)
"Good fellow, a Level Three strength producing Level Six material; no wonder the Beast King’s thunderbolt didn’t cause much damage."
The Magic Crystal Dragon was similar to the Chimera.
But more focused on defense.
The two giant beasts quickly engaged in low-altitude combat, the beastmen below running around in panic, some faintly trying to escape.
Lin Suo quickly directed the remaining Synthetic Beasts to block them.
After so much effort, definitely couldn’t let them escape.
Meanwhile, the clash of the giants also reached its intense phase.
Aside from energy attacks, the physical strength of the Magic Crystal Dragon was much weaker compared to the Chimera King.
After a few rounds of fighting,
its wing was broken by the Chimera’s snake tail, causing it to wail and crash to the ground, destroying many houses.
The Chimera roared proudly.
A black beam shot out from the goat head on its back, turning everything it touched brittle, including the scales of the Magic Crystal Dragon.
Then, spreading its wings.
With one swipe of its claw.
The long neck of the Magic Crystal Dragon shattered like crystal, not a drop of blood spilled.
The black beam was a result of Lin Suo’s later modifications.
The snake-headed tail possessed deadly poison, the black goat head had a defense-crystallizing beam, and the lion head bore the horn of thunder.
Coupled with a strong physique, its strength was indeed formidable.
Almost effortlessly, it slaughtered this somewhat special Magic Crystal Dragon.
As the Demon Dragon died.
The beastmen knelt down one after another, their long enslavement making them easier to subdue, which was quite favorable.
Lin Suo didn’t need to spend more words.
The corpse of the Demon Dragon, shrunk by Lin Suo using the Shrinking Spell, was stored in the storage ring.
Afterwards, following three days of tallying and preparation.
A long line of one hundred and thirty thousand Beastmen, escorted by Chimeras, migrated towards Iron Hoof Mountain City.
The total number was a bit less than Lin Suo had estimated.
One hundred thousand robust Beastmen, even if not forming families, should normally number between two hundred to three hundred thousand.
Unexpectedly, female Beastmen, children, and elderly only totaled about thirty thousand.
This was a severe imbalance.
The several hundred kilometers journey to the city took Lin Suo just an hour to fly over.
The return journey involved crossing mountains and rivers.
Feeding and hydrating one hundred and thirty thousand Beastmen conservatively required more than ten days.
According to the plan, they would also pass through the Beastman Tribes’ periodic marketplaces along the way.
In a series of maneuvers, he captured all attendees, totaling more than thirty tribes and fifty to sixty thousand people.
After merging into the main force.
It took Lin Suo, herding two hundred thousand "chickens and ducks", a whole month to barely make it back to Iron Hoof Mountain City.
The city’s capacity was constructed with a plan for ten million people.
Currently far from the resettlement limits.
Including the already present ten thousand or so, the total number of Beastman laborers reached just over two hundred thousand.
With the Guide Party and indoctrinating brainwashing.
Several rebellions erupted in the first half of the month, only settling down after brutal suppression by the Chimeras.
Lin Suo introduced policies such as collective responsibility, mutual supervision, and rewards for informants.
Except for the uncontrollably rebellious ones.
Those Beastmen at the bottom were the first to align.
The open-pit mine outside the city, known as one of the wealthiest ordinary veins on "Jigerde-001", could be mined for a very long time.
The second batch of Earth Elf Engineering Corps, including Liquid Metal Earth Elves, also merged into the Wizard Tower, forming a sub-class of Tower Spirits.
Introduced into the management layer.
The number of personnel was still insufficient.
Lin Suo dug deep into the ground, establishing a large number of culture bases, and introduced a phased cultivation plan.
According to a pace of one thousand per month, gradually supplementing Earth Elves to serve as administrators.
Only then did the situation in Iron Hoof Mountain City gradually stabilize.
Only then did he have the leisure to address his own cultivation issues, successfully advancing his Wizard Rank on the "Jigerde-001" planet in the third month.
That is to say, from now on.
He is truly an Upper Grade Wizard.
The decision for the Seventh Ring of his Magic Ring was made long ago: Eternal Soul Witchcraft Technique.
The needed resources and materials.
He had acquired them during his period of study at the War Academy.
However, Soul Type materials are extremely rare, and he had only managed to obtain those for the Seventh Ring, with very little collected for the Eighth and Ninth Rings.
After successfully forming the Seventh Ring and integrating it into his body, adding a touch of power to the World Tree Magic Ring.
He still had unused complete Five-colored Dragon Blood in his pocket.
He had his own plans for this item, waiting for breakthroughs in Magic Rune Study and Evolution Core Technology before he could implement his ideas.
So he was not in a rush to use it.
[Talent: Synthesize Everything (116.2w/1000w)]
[Rank: Level Six Immortal Dragon Body (891/1000); Upper Grade Seventh Ring Wizard (1/1000)]
[Transcendent: Magic Power Breathing Skill (Red Grade); Star Pupil Meditation Method (Red Grade)]
Granted an additional fifty years of life.
The progress of Talent: Synthesize Everything also advanced to one-tenth, and in another decade or so, it should be able to improve.
According to the original estimate, it needed over a hundred years.
But as his body becomes stronger and the Immortal Trait more abundant, he could undergo Chaos Baptism more frequently.
Four times a month without a problem.
When he shifted his attention from cultivation back to Iron Hoof Mountain City, he found millions of copper and iron ingots stacked in the warehouse.
This efficiency was average.
But two hundred thousand Beastmen, not every one of them qualified labor, and with elderly and children only able to work half days, efficiency was much lower.
Additionally, a large number of female Beastmen were pregnant.
Overall, as time passed.
The daily total production was steadily increasing.
After a few years, production would explosively increase, this prospect was foreseeable.
"Terra Ore needs people for mining, rare mineral resources are sparsely distributed, lacking manpower, mining tools are also insufficient, transportation tools also need upgrading..."
Listing the issues one by one.
He also needed to consider his own time allocation; mining is good but shouldn’t hinder strength enhancement.
"Considering this, it’d be best to establish a Beastman Slave Capture Team."
Lin Suo quickly made a decision.
"Luoluo, issue the decree, starting today Iron Hoof Mountain City is recruiting ten thousand robust Beastmen to undergo training, cultivating not slavers... but a Holy City ceremonial guard."
Luoluo is one of the three Earth Elf sisters.
Having followed Lin Suo for so many years, she had long recognized his true nature, and upon hearing this, her mouth twitched.
"Understood Master, Luoluo will arrange it immediately."
Ceremonial guard, huh, inviting other Beastman Tribes to join the Holy City.
Come! All can be discussed.
Don’t come! The ceremonial guard then becomes a Slave Capture Team...
Letting them manage their own kind should be much more effective than being managed by Earth Elves.
Now with the Chimeras and Lin Suo keeping them in check, no problems were visible.
But what about after one or two generations?
Thinking long-term, take it slow.
Actually, this was also part of managing his own power, Truth Council dispatched family members to pioneer.
Actually, they granted you the planet.
How to develop it they don’t care, just complete the annual missions, similar in essence to the Empire’s tax system.
