"That's right, this is the only condition I agreed to for Tang Jin's rebellion. Now that you're back, I wonder if your past thoughts have changed?" The old monster Qian Si's calm tone changed slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you again. I can only offer you Haochuan City. As for other places, the Zhang and Huang clans are all under their own control and cannot easily grant them. If the Zhang and Huang clans can expand in the future, I can consider giving you priority."
"Mr. Qian Si, Lang Ren's distinction between primary and secondary races simply doesn't work here. All races are branches of my Zhang Huang clan, and there's no distinction between them. Please forgive me, Commander Lang, for not being able to do something like harming other races for the sake of one race," Commander Lang said, shaking his head.
"Commander Lang, you know I don't want to fight you, but I have no choice but to do this for the sake of our race. I wonder if the power you brought can withstand the strain on Hao Chuan?" The old monster Qian Si's voice returned to its calm state.
"Whether it can withstand the attrition will only be known after the battle. Besides, the Zhanghuang tribe has indeed been peaceful for too long. Some groups are too large, so this is a good opportunity to streamline them and avoid having too many people and then complaining about limited space..."
Lang Shuai chuckled, quickened his pace, and stepped over the gatehouse, his voice suddenly rising.
"Listen up, all the nobles and slaves in Haochuan City! I am Commander Lang. I am here today only to go home, not to fight. On the battlefield, as long as you surrender, I will not kill you. I will not take any of your property. But if you fight me, you will be responsible for your own life and death. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Commander Lang's voice, imbued with demonic power, resounded throughout the entire Haochuan City like muffled thunder. Upon hearing it, Wang Yao couldn't help but nod in approval. Commander Lang's declaration was very effective; not only would the slave race in the city be greatly affected, but even the fighting spirit of the main race would likely be significantly impacted.
"Commander Lang is indeed skilled, his charm undiminished. Then please come over quickly so I can learn some tricks." The old monster Qian Si's voice was neither happy nor sad, as if he was already prepared for battle.
As Lang Shuai and Wang Yao walked forward, they saw that the gate tower of Haochuan City, the buildings ahead, and the roads inside the city were covered with layers of white spider webs that looked like cotton wool, making the whole city look as if it were covered with snow. Looking at all this, Lang Shuai couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Qiansi, Lang Ren didn't send reinforcements?" Commander Lang asked in astonishment. This kind of spider silk is only beneficial to those who know the species. If Lang Ren sent reinforcements, it would be greatly affected and would not be conducive to various coordinated defenses.
"Haochuan and Jinliu are under my control, and it is only right that they be defended by my people. There is no need for any reinforcements," the old monster Qiansi replied in a muffled voice.
Upon hearing Qian Si Lao Guai's reply, Commander Lang was stunned. He never expected that Lang Ren would not send reinforcements and would instead use Zhi Zhong as a shield for the entire Huang Clan. No matter how powerful Zhi Zhong was, he could not possibly be a match for all the exiled slave races under Commander Lang's command. The only outcome would be the extermination of the race.
Lang Shuai stood there pondering for a long time, and finally sighed and shook his head. He finally understood why Qian Si Lao Guai's tone had always been so gentle. The feeling of being abandoned by the clan was really unbearable. At the same time, he also felt a deep disappointment in his rebellious son.
"You should surrender. I cannot be unjust, even if it means betraying you. Without reinforcements, you have no chance," Commander Lang said with mixed feelings. "You know that the Zhang clan is also a branch of my Zhang Huang clan. I don't want Haochuan City to be without a master in the future."
"Let's fight first. One city is simply not enough to contain all my descendants." Old Monster Qian Si's voice revealed obvious helplessness.
“Mr. Qian Si, why are you so stubborn? How come Hao Chuan City can’t accommodate your descendants? I think it can accommodate several times more!” Wang Yao, who was standing to the side, also understood. Seeing that Old Monster Qian Si was still being stubborn and Commander Lang was somewhat hesitant, he hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Old Monster Qiansi asked in astonishment.
“Look at your Haochuan City. It’s not even comparable to Tianchao City, let alone Liangzu’s Nandu City. The city’s construction is too backward. Build more high-rise buildings. I think the tallest building in your city is less than ten stories high.” Wang Yao asked.
"The highest floor is the 9th floor, the Good Sichuan Development Bank Building," Qian Si Lao Guai replied blankly.
“Let me teach you a lesson. If you build thousands of high-rise buildings of thirty or forty stories in Haochuan City, do you think how many descendants you would need to fill them all? Everyone wants to live in a villa, preferably with a front and back yard. Of course, there won’t be enough land!” Wang Yao said.
"Several thousand buildings? I don't know where all that money came from!" Old Monster Qiansi was startled.
"I'm telling you, you're still stuck in your old ways and not good at managing cities. It's a good thing you know there's a good Sichuan Development Bank. What are banks for? They lend money to build buildings and you sell the houses to pay off the loans!"
Wang Yao stamped his foot and exclaimed. "Damn it, the real estate economy that the human world has been playing with for ages, and this old monster doesn't know anything about it. He really is someone who learns until he's old, and can't afford to waste a single moment."
"Commander Lang, what is this guy talking about?" Qian Si felt that what Wang Yao said was contrary to common sense and was afraid that she would be misled by this kid, so she could only ask Commander Lang.
"Well, once I take over, I can allocate some of the clan's resources for you to build a building." Lang Shuai didn't have much of a concept of the human world's bubble economy, but he knew that this was a good opportunity to persuade the old man. As long as Qian Si stopped insisting on taking another city, the battle for Haochuan City would not break out.
"Are you... are you sure?" Old Monster Qian Si was indeed a little excited.
"Of course, you know that you are also one of my Zhang Huang clans. How could I, Commander Lang, allow your people to sleep on the streets?" Commander Lang said loudly.
"We don't need Coach Lang's funding. This is a money-making scheme called real estate economics! It's very sophisticated. It's like you let the banks print money and lend it to real estate developers, then you sell the land in Haochuan City to the developers to build houses, and then you let everyone go to the bank to take out loans to buy houses."
