Xia Tianqiong opened a spatial rift leading to the bizarre scene, and then addressed the entire city once again.
"There is a small, isolated town here, cut off from the outside world. It contains only a few strange creatures, all of which are contracted to me and pose no threat to you."
If you wish, you may move in. Everyone can have a house, first come, first served. I will stay here for one day and leave at this time tomorrow. It's all voluntary; I won't force you.
After saying this, Xia Tianqiong led the ghost bride into the eerie scene first.
He needed to warn the contractual monsters inside to avoid any accidental harm.
The people at the scene looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Countless people gathered around the spatial rift, which was four or five meters wide enough for a car to drive through.
After watching for a long time, no one made a move.
"I'll come so I can die sooner and be reincarnated sooner."
Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone dispersed. It was the same young man who had spoken first.
After he finished speaking, he boldly walked into the crevice, and a dozen minutes later, he ran out with a happy expression.
"It's huge inside, with lots of buildings. It's much better than our small town, and it's all empty, not a single person in sight. Whether you guys go or not, I'm going. I'm going to claim a big villa."
After saying this, he hurriedly returned home, took food and daily necessities, and entered the eerie scene again.
Other residents also entered to take a look, and subsequently, more and more people chose to move in.
Later, it even turned into a scramble, with people afraid that if they arrived late, they wouldn't be able to get a good apartment.
In fact, this bizarre scene is large enough to house a million people, and these tens of thousands of people can be easily accommodated.
Summer Sky and the Ghost Bride floated high in the sky, watching the crowd below rushing in.
The strange bride suddenly reminded him again, "There is no food produced here, will you feed them, my lord?"
Xia Tianqiong smiled indifferently, "It's only a few hundred thousand people, I can afford to support them. Besides, I plan to connect this place with the chessboard world, so they can go to the chessboard world to farm or hunt."
People from the chessboard world can also live here, since the modern facilities are quite complete, and there are many vacant factories that can be utilized.
A day later, more than 90% of the local residents entered the eerie scene.
Xia Tianqiong then closed the spatial rift and went with the Ghost Bride to find their next target.
At the same time, the nine armies of cunning generals encountered obstacles simultaneously.
For a time, the pace of conquering cities and seizing territory was forced to stop.
Zhongchuan City is a prefecture-level city with a population of several million.
The number of survivors is now close to two million, and they have all gathered in the city center.
The streets and alleys were packed with people.
They held kitchen knives, rolling pins, table and chair legs, and other odds and ends, looking up at the sky while cursing incessantly.
"Come on, if you've got the guts, kill us all!"
"We are not afraid of death. Come down here. We'll just die together."
"You son of a bitch, either kill us all or get out of here."
They hurled very harsh and insane insults, seemingly utterly fearless of death.
Their targets were the atop a dozen or so tall buildings around them, some eerie, some human.
At the top of the tallest building, Chu Xu sat atop a ghostly wolf, his brow furrowed. "What's going on? Why do the people hate us so much?"
Leng Manjin stood to his left, his face full of disdain, "Who cares why? Just go and kill them. Kill whoever doesn't submit, until they do."
Chu Xu immediately objected, "They must have been instigated by Xinglian. We cannot kill indiscriminately."
Leng Manjin glanced at Chu Xu, his expression displeased. "This city is in a full-blown riot; killing is the only way to quell it."
"But the boss said that we cannot harm innocent civilians. That's our principle. Otherwise, how are we any different from the brutal Xinglian?"
"If you don't kill them, tell me, how do you take this city?"
"Would it be feasible to find the members of Xinglian and eliminate them one by one?"
Leng Manjin snorted impatiently, "I think it's laughable. Even if we find Xinglian's people, when we go down and take action, what if other civilians attack us? Should we fight back? Even if we don't fight back, the aftermath of the battle will cause many casualties."
Chu Xu suddenly fell silent, somewhat hesitant.
He also knew that Leng Manjin's method was the most direct: just kill them all, and they would definitely take the city in the end.
But as a human being, he couldn't bear to kill too many ordinary people.
Suddenly, he turned his head to the right and looked at the figure who always had a calm expression.
"Captain Taoyao, you're a big shot, can you give me some advice?"
Tao Yao stood there with her arms crossed, looking completely unconcerned.
"I'm only responsible for killing. Don't ask me about these trivial matters. If you insist on asking for my opinion, then just kill them all. Anyway, there are more humans than rats, so a few million deaths won't matter."
Chu Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly; he shouldn't have asked this cunning general at all.
After pondering for a long time, he suddenly made a decision.
"Let's abandon this city for now and move on to the next one. We can't waste time here, or it will affect our performance."
Leng Manjin pursed his lips and nodded in agreement with the suggestion.
The nine teams have been secretly competing to see who can capture the most cities, and they are all very anxious.
Chu Xu looked at Tao Yao, who nodded indifferently, then parted her red lips slightly and uttered a single word, "Withdraw!"
At his command, the sound echoed in all directions, and the figures on the rooftops of more than a dozen nearby buildings all began to move.
Those who can fly fly on their own, and those who can't ride on ghostly wolves.
Hundreds of ghostly wolves marched in neat formation through the air, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
