Yue Zhong chuckled lightly, “What do you intend to buy them with?”
Luo Qing Qing smiled faintly and suggested, “Storm Valley can help you manufacture 300 equipment with Type 5 Mutant Beast hide, 1,000 Type 4 Mutant Beast hide, 1,000 bone blades, 1,000 bone bows, and 10,000 bone arrows.”
Storm Valley used melee weapons often, thus, they had a number of skilled craftsmen. With their talented work and output, they were able to churn out such numbers quickly.
Yue Zhong thought for a while, before swiftly agreeing, “Deal!”
The firearms of the prehistoric times might be more powerful than the cold weapons, but they had a limit on usage. Once fired to a certain extent, their parts would fail, and could not be used again. And currently, they had no one who was capable of repairing any of these weapons.
It was because of this that even though the Storm Valley and Sun Alliance had many of such weapons, they did not dare to use them casually.
If it weren’t for Yue Zhong’s new recruits being so weak, and the perils of the long journey being glaringly present, he would not allow them to use such weapons to defend themselves. In this world, they were valuable.
After subjugating all the injured Mutant Green Gulls with his Puppet Runes, Yue Zhong had instantly gained an army of 5,000 Mutant Green Gulls.
The number was mighty, if they all flew up together, it would be enough to block out an entire patch of sky.
Each one of them carried significant injuries, however, with Yue Zhong providing a number of Type 2 nuclei and the meat of Type 4 Mutant Beasts, they quickly recovered.
The recovery rate of Mutant Beasts was truly terrifying. These 5,000 Mutant Green Gulls were just Type 2 Mutant Beasts, and in terms of physique, they were the weakest of Type 2 Mutant Beasts. Even so, their recovery was faster than humans.
After waiting for the 5,000 Mutant Green Gulls to recover, Yue Zhong then handed the control over to Lai Wei. As she was a Type 4 Divine Warrior of the Winged Race and flew constantly, she was extremely clear on giving commands. As for the rest, they were still inexperienced.
As they took care of the huge flock of Mutant Green Gulls, the huge Storm Battleship continued on its way towards Cloud Region.
Another week passed, before a number of tall peaks that seemed to break through the clouds appeared on the horizon, forming a number of natural valleys. Within the valleys was the last stand of the human race in this world! Only a narrow gorge of about 20 m wide led to the interior of the valley.
Yue Zhong did not know how the humans within the Cloud Region would take to his arrival, thus he chose to descend over a dense patch of forest that was about a hundred li away.
As the Storm Battleship descended, the hundreds and thousands of Mutant Beasts within the forest looked up and were shocked. They frantically fled in different directions, forming a stampede as they sped away.
The enormous Battleship was over millions of tonnes, thus when it landed, it caused a large patch to be flattened together with the Mutant Beasts and flora underneath it.
With just this landing, the Storm Battleship had caused the deaths of over a thousand Mutant Beasts.
Yue Zhong had seen the numerous Mutant Beasts being squashed, and he sighed, “What might! If it wasn’t for the consumption if only I can utilize this to bulldoze everything, what fun it would be!”
The Storm Battleship weighed over a million tonnes, even Turtle would be flattened under that sort of weight, not to mention other Mutant Beasts. In fact, among the crushed Mutant Beasts, there had been 2 Type 4 ones. However, before the kickstart of the Battleship, he would have to forego those nuclei for now.
After the battleship came to a complete rest, Yue Zhong gave an order to Lai Wei, “Go! Please ensure your safety above all else!”
“Yes! Sir Yue Zhong!” Lai Wei bowed respectfully, before leaving.
Soon after, a hundred Winged warriors flew out from the Storm Battleship, together with the 5,000 Mutant Green Gulls, making their way around the area, hunting down any Mutant Beast they saw.
After subduing the 5,000 Mutant Green Gulls, Lai Wei had become a sort of shepherd for them, especially bringing them to hunt Mutant Beasts and collecting their nuclei, or body parts that were useful, back to the ship.
At the same time, by hunting the Mutant Beasts around, it made the environment safer.
Luo Qing Qing and Shailene, the Queens of their respective factions also led their own subordinates to go and hunt. Although there were trees planted onboard the ship, they were insufficient to fill everybody on the ship. They might have brought along resources as well, but if things continued like this, they could not support themselves.
After delegating all the work, Yue Zhong then brought Han Zi Xuan along with him towards Cloud Region.
Han Zi Xuan’s own strength had also gone through a metamorphosis since she had been through intense battles, reaching the Type 4 realm. She was beautiful and strong and loyal to a fault. Yue Zhong naturally liked to bring her along as a personal guard.
As for the rest, Liu Mei’er was not dependable, Sun Lan Lan’s strength laid in governance, while Han Qiong still required more training. Lai Wei led the Mutant Green Gulls to hunt for nuclei, hence only Han Zi Xuan was free.
Arriving at Cloud Region’s entrance, Yue Zhong checked out the huge fortress at the entrance of the cliff, his heart filled with shock, “This is the legendary Xue Luo 20 Forts? Pretty intimidating! No wonder they’re able to fend off the Dino-people for so many years!”
Within that narrow gorge leading into Cloud Region, there were 20 forts erected, these were the last and strongest form of defense of the humans here. In these hundreds of years, they had fended off countless attacks by the Dinosaur Kingdoms, killing numerous Dino-warriors. This was the last paradise for most human factions as well. If it were not for the treacherous journey leading to here, all of the human factions would have long since made their way here.
As for these Xue Luo 20 Forts, each one of them was about 200m high, together with numerous castle walls. There were soldiers stationed everywhere, keep an eye on everything,
All along the wall, there were many openings for cannons, electromagnetic guns, and cannons to fire out from.
Just along the first fort, Yue Zhong could already see 20 large electromagnetic cannons. Each one of them was at least 3 times larger than the Electromagnetic Gun he had. If hit by a single blast from these weapons, a Mid-Grade Dino-General would definitely be slaughtered instantly.
Beyond those, every single soldier stationed along the wall was filled with an intimidating killing intent, their backs carrying electromagnetic guns and ray guns.
Yue Zhong saw that the entire place was armed to the teeth, and did not know what trump cards the place had hidden. He felt his heart turn slightly cold. Even for someone as strong as him, if he was not careful, he might be turned into paste here.
Yue Zhong and Han Zi Xuan had just gotten close, when 4 human soldiers in black uniform barked out, “Who are you people?”
Yue Zhong replied without skipping a beat, “We’re humans from afar, seeking refuge. We heard that Cloud Region is the last sanctuary for us humans, thus we came from Green Region. The Green Region has already been conquered by the Stegosaurus Kingdom. We don’t want to become their slaves. We hope to enter Cloud Region.”
“These warriors are strong!”
As the conversation was going on, Yue Zhong observed them carefully, his eyes flashing with a hint of shock. While they were just rank-and-file soldiers, their aura and demeanor was top-notch, comparable to the elite of his elites. At the same time, from their movements, he surmised that they were at least Type 2 Divine Warriors.
The 4 of them assessed Yue Zhong and Han Zi Xuan carefully also, before saying, “Go over there to register.”
The 2 of them came to the gate and handed their belongings to be checked before they made some detailed identification. Once their prints were collected, they started for the inner city under the escort of the 4 soldiers.
After 6 hours, and multiple layers of check, as well as 20 large army camps, the 2 of them finally made it into Cloud Region.
Yue Zhong took a look and was taken aback, “This is Cloud Region?”
After the 20th army camp, it was a vast plain of green, where one could not see the ends, and a huge city appeared in front of them.
One of the soldiers handed 2 name cards to them and turned to leave, but before that, he said, “We have a total of 24 main cities in Cloud Region. This is one of them, Red Blood City. From today on, you’re members of our Red Blood City as well. Let me give you a word of advice. We don’t keep trash around here. If you want to survive, you have to showcase your worth. Your area of residence is in D district. After you enter the city, turn right. All the best!”
