In this war, we were eliminated in the second round and naturally did not receive much reward, but we did accumulate some war experience.

Although they lost this war, it was also expected. Although Zhao Yuqing has good talent, the starting point of an ordinary human is indeed too poor. It is quite difficult for her to reach the second-rate level now, not to mention fighting against Xia Liuli, who is at the level of a genius.

In terms of productivity alone, the gap in strength may not be too big, but if we really compare it with combat effectiveness, the starting point of ordinary humans is indeed too low, and many of the strength gaps were only made up after the Industrial Revolution.

After explaining everything to Xia Liuli, Zhao Yuqing withdrew directly. She was still very busy and needed to devote a lot of time to development. The entire Shenqi Kingdom was basically built by her, and it would also be the basic foundation for her survival in the God Realm in the future.

No matter how relaxed the relationship with Yan Country was, she knew in her heart that it was based on the independent interests of both parties. It was basically impossible to really ask Yan Country to fight for her development interests.

Therefore, the existence and development of the Shenqi Kingdom is very necessary. It is the basis for her independent development as a god, and it is also the power that truly belongs to her.

At this stage, the Shenqi Kingdom has absorbed a large population and arable land, and many things need to be dealt with. One of the most important things is the faith education of the people.

Since obtaining a large amount of arable land from Luogu Kingdom, Shenqi Kingdom has laid the foundation for forming a country. Through the talents of the newly conquered gods, the road through the Luolong Mountains is being built rapidly. The most restrictive transportation factor for survival in the mountains has been greatly improved. Shenqi Kingdom has truly established the foundation for taking root in the mountains.

With the reclamation of various arable lands in the mountains, the absorption of various ethnic groups in the mountains, and the development of forestry in cooperation with Yan State, the productivity of Shenqi State has gradually become considerable.

On such an economic foundation, the national structure of the Shenqi Kingdom was gradually established. This national structure mainly followed the path of the unity of politics and religion. The entire Shenqi Kingdom took the grassroots churches as the basic units and the national church as the center.

Each church was in charge of local education, marriage and other aspects of people's lives, and also had certain powers to organize production.

This resulted in Zhao Yuqing's absolute control over the entire country and the absolute unity of the entire Shenqi Kingdom's faith. This is also the main national structure advocated by many gods, including schools.

The final test was just a small episode for Yan Country. What was more important was to think about how to annex the surrounding countries.

Under the propaganda of newspapers and the news blockade of Yan State, several earth-shattering wars between Yan State and the barbarians were fabricated. Since the surrounding countries had no independent news investigation and there was deliberate disguise within Yan State, the credibility of this news to the outside world was still very high.

The storytellers of Yan State have done a good job in exaggerating the panic in the surrounding areas. Every story is presented very reasonably and every piece of news is told with confidence.

In this era of competition and vitality, Yan State, which controls paper, can definitely easily control the dominant position in public opinion.

The First Battle between Yan Nation and the Barbarians: The Battle of Luogu!

Details of the Battle of Luogu, a close contest!

The barbarians' targets gradually shifted, and Yan Nation's pursuit of them was cut off.

These news are just early stage public opinion exaggeration, which has a great influence on the people, but has not yet affected the officials. Many officials are still skeptical about this information and have not reacted much to it.

In Yan State's plan, these are just early-stage public opinion exaggerations. Many things are not yet ready. The real pressure will come when the barbarian tribe of Shenqi State truly cooperates.

External pressure is the best way to promote internal "unity". Under the threat of force, many compromises will become natural.

Now is the time to let the bullets fly, it is not yet time to make any real big moves.

However, the development of the situation did not go exactly as Yan State expected. When Duan Tianming was about to consider how the barbarians should invade, the real crisis arrived.

····

Yangcheng is the largest city closest to Lingyun State on the southern foot of the Luolong Mountains. Although it is not in the area influenced by Yan State, its strength is quite good in the marginal areas.

However, if this good strength is not matched by strong military strength, it will be just a piece of cake.

Lingyun Kingdom moved north, and when their productivity reached a certain level, they finally decided to expand.

Those ridiculous sects pretend to be righteous, but they don’t know that the only righteous way is to control more land and gain more population.

"Haha, Big Brother, what do you think of this city gate?"

A group of immortals had already stood at the foot of the city wall. At this time, Lingyun Kingdom's 10,000-strong army had been besieging the city for a week, but the city gate had not been broken and the battlefield was in a stalemate.

"Don't act rashly. Most of us are first-level immortals. Even I am only at the second level. I still need these ordinary human wastes to consume more."

The eldest brother said coldly.

Not to mention that he was not confident of breaking the city given the enemy's stubborn resistance, he would not go even if he had the ability. He could have consumed the enemy with the help of these lowly ordinary humans, so why should his noble immortal race take the risk of breaking the city?

"But, Senior Brother, this is not the right time to drag this out. The neighboring states of Zhao and Wei are watching. If we drag this out here, we might be disturbed by the surrounding states."

The junior brother reminded.

"That's true, but let's wait for them to consume more time."

The eldest brother made a direct conclusion.

The immortals on the native continent do not have any racial heritage and have to rely on themselves to explore. Although they are called immortals, their strength is just so-so. They can defeat a few dozen ordinary humans, but to really go in and out of an army seven times, I am afraid that only an immortal with a fifth-level spiritual power unit like the ancestor can do it.

"My lord, our soldiers have been attacking continuously for a week. Can we take a day off?"

The general commanding the siege knelt directly in front of the eldest brother and said.

This immortal did not know how to command, but he was both inexperienced and playful. He launched an attack without waiting for the siege equipment to be completed. He did not use his own magic at all and did not take the lives of the soldiers seriously at all.

"No, our sect has a saying that goes 'one move to defeat the enemy'. Now that we've started the battle, soldiers cannot retreat."

The eldest senior brother didn't even look at the general, and was busy admiring the wonderful scene of the siege in front of him.

"But Immortal, the casualties are too great. I hope you can have mercy on the soldiers!"

The general knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
