This eerie white mist, along with the numerous ghostly spirits within it, acts as a roadblock in Kangcheng's development, not only restricting the city's growth and expansion but also bringing many unknown dangers that constantly threaten the safety of the city's residents.
Li Yu and several battalion commanders knew that only by overcoming this difficulty could Kangcheng truly usher in the dawn of prosperity and development.
However, the eyes of the people present all swept over Zhao Mu, who was sitting in the position of the battalion commander of the fourth battalion.
Since Li Yu personally brought him here and had him sit in the fourth battalion's seat, it was enough to show that Zhao Mutou had the ability and could represent the fourth battalion, which only had two people.
Zhao Mutou remained extremely calm despite the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd; to him, these identities meant nothing.
Whether he's a battalion commander or a lowly soldier, as long as he has the opportunity to help Li Yu, that's fine.
After the lengthy discussion, Chen Hai, who had just joined Li Yu's team, was the first to stand up and express his opinion:
"Lord, just give me your orders. All my men in the Fifth Battalion will obey your commands."
He continued meaningfully, "Although the white fog inside and outside the city cannot be completely cleared, if we suppress it with all our might, we can still slow down its expansion."
Chen Hai knew that a new broom sweeps clean, and even if Li Yu ordered his fifth battalion to lead the charge to clear the white fog, they had to go through with it, since the sacrifice of some people was necessary.
He had already selected a group of people in the camp, prepared to be used as cannon fodder.
To everyone's surprise, Li Yu shook his head after hearing this: "You don't need to worry about the white mist. I will take care of it myself."
This wasn't Li Yu boasting; after all, there are very few people like him who can control ghosts.
Since he has decided to become the city lord, it is tantamount to admitting that he took control of Kangcheng on his own initiative.
With his current strength and status, there's no need for him to put on that show of humility and affectation.
Once it's occupied, it's occupied!
It's just an empty city that nobody wants; the Central Plains government has no reason to hold them accountable for it.
If Zhongzhou still feels that Kangcheng has value and cannot be given away for free, he can simply use his status as a Star Lord to help Zhongzhou a few more times, and he believes that no one would dare to provoke him.
Li Yu's casual remark was like a boulder thrown into stagnant water, stirring up silent ripples.
Chen Hai was stunned when he heard Li Yu's answer, and a surge of intense heat welled up inside him.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu genuinely considered them as his own people, and even when he personally intervened, he didn't want them to suffer any casualties.
This made Chen Hai, who had never had any expectations for the future, feel as if he had suddenly found a pillar of support.
It also brought a long-lost bittersweet feeling to this veteran whose heart had long been hardened.
Perhaps... by following Li Yu, the new city lord, they really can see a different future?
Li Yu looked down at the panoramic view of Kangcheng in front of her, her mind racing with thoughts.
Since he intends to make Kangcheng his base and appoint him as its lord, he must do everything in his power to make it strong enough that even high-level awakened beings and generals of Zhongzhou would not dare to provoke it, strong enough to deter any potential rivals.
Otherwise, this city would become his inescapable weakness!
Li Yu then said, "Then I will make some simple arrangements. From now on, Kangcheng will focus on city defense. Everyone in the other battalions will receive training from the Fifth Battalion. They will definitely master the operation of the city wall cannons and the use of other defensive weapons in the shortest possible time."
Li Yu paused slightly, then suddenly remembered something, looked at Chen Hai, and gave the order again:
"Chen Hai, after the meeting, immediately select a location in the city and build a slaughterhouse."
"Slaughterhouse?" Chen Hai looked blank.
Although Kangcheng is very large, there are hardly any people, let alone animals. In the continuous heavy rain, you can hardly see any animals in the wild, so there is no need for it.
He even carefully recalled when Li Yu entered the city, and apart from the people of the Seventh Regiment, he did not find a large number of animals behind him.
Just as Chen Hai was wondering, Li Yu continued:
"Ma Yuanbai will assist you with the factory construction. Based on half of Lin Han's ability, you need to cut down all the exotic beast meat every day on time and store it in the cold storage. You must establish a cycle for the exotic beast meat and not waste a single bit, understand?"
After Li Yu finished speaking, thinking of the miserable state that Young Master Ao's beast was facing, she suddenly smiled slightly.
That inappropriate, bizarre smile sent a chill down the spines of Hei Sha, Zhao Xiong, and Lin Yong, who were sitting to the side.
Even the screams of the strange beasts echoed in their ears.
"Yes!" the group quickly replied.
Aside from Chen Hai, the other battalion commanders realized that their regimental commander seemed to hold grudges very much.
Judging from Young Master Ao's current fate, it's clear that anyone who offends Li Yu will never have a good ending.
The sneer faded, and Li Yu's face remained icy: "Send people to protect the crystal coffin. The baby inside will wake up."
Can a dead baby wake up?
Li Yu's confident words stirred up a huge wave of emotions in everyone's hearts.
They originally thought that Li Yu carried the Crystal Palace and the baby all the way to remember those who sacrificed for him, as a solemn remembrance or warning. They never expected that Li Yu did this to resurrect the baby!
This is completely beyond their comprehension!
Ignoring their shock, Li Yu turned to Ma Yuanbai beside her and said to the crowd:
“From now on, Ma Yuanbai is the deputy city lord. For daily affairs... no, for anything, you can go to him first, and he will make decisions on my behalf.”
Ma Yuanbai was stunned, his eyelids twitching.
He didn't expect that Li Yu, who became the city lord, would still want to be a hands-off manager and wouldn't care at all about his previous overstepping of authority.
Is this trust?
Li Yu seemed too lazy to even care about his previous little schemes? Ma Yuanbai felt a mix of emotions.
Seeing that Li Yu was staring at him, Ma Yuanbai could only bow silently and say, "Yes, sir."
The blueprint for Kangcheng's future has been drawn.
After establishing a general direction for the development of the new Kangcheng, Li Yu knew that his primary task now was to completely eliminate the white mist and ghosts in Kangcheng.
Just then, he caught a familiar, chilling aura drifting from outside the city; it was the aura of the ghost that had escaped from Zhao Mutou's clutches.
Li Yu immediately stood up and said to everyone present, "Come with me."
Seeing Li Yu turn and leave, the crowd, though puzzled, quickly followed without hesitation.
Li Yu and his group quickly left Kangcheng and arrived at the edge of the thick white fog surrounding the city.
The ghost with countless arms was frantically tearing apart the corpse of a white spider, with many other spider remains scattered around it.
It seems that the wounds inflicted by the scimitar have almost healed.
The air was filled with a damp and rotten smell.
Seeing this, the people behind him finally understood what Li Yu was about to do.
Chen Hai immediately recognized the monster and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Hiss—A large ghost approaching the level of a demonic entity!"
