Long Yue's army quickly launched an attack on the third virgin forest on the edge of the jurisdiction.
This time, they did not encounter any obstruction and easily occupied the entire primeval forest.
"Oh no, what the hell, where are those savages?"
Long Yue's army finally captured a few lone savages in the forest. After questioning, they learned that all the savages had been moved away in advance.
"Where have you gone?"
"Savage Valley."
The guard reported the situation to Long Yue.
Long Yue was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Savage Valley, this name is so familiar."
"Lord City Lord, the Savage Valley is where the savage tribe that City Lord Jino conquered a few months ago is located. Everyone calls it the Savage Valley."
"Well, I remembered about Savage Valley, the Savage King, and that guy named Yang Xiao. Eh, that's not right. Why did they take over all the savages here?"
Long Yue felt bad inside.
Although all the savages were gone, it would save his army from casualties in the battle, but in this way, it seemed that those savages would always exist and had not been eliminated.
He felt like a thorn in his throat, making him unable to vomit and feel unhappy.
Moreover, now that the savages are all gathered together, this problem seems a bit ominous.
"Savage King, what does he want to do?"
"Lord City Lord, no matter what he wants to do, we controlled three savage forests without spending a single soldier. Isn't this great?"
"Haha, you don't understand. It looks very good in front of you, but the total number of savages in these three primeval forests is more than 10,000. Adding the savages in the Savage Valley, there are a total of 20,000.
In the past, they lived scattered, so they were easily defeated by us. Now they are united and gathered together. They are a terrifying force! "
"Then what should we do now? Are we going to attack Savage Valley?"
"That's not the case. The Savage Valley is on the edge of the jurisdiction of Karachi City. If you want to attack it, it's Jino who has to go. Now that Jino has accepted the surrender of the Savage Valley, it's not easy for us to interfere.
Forget it, let's send people to control these three forest areas for the time being, and then invite those private mine owners to come over to mine. We ourselves will continue to bring people over from Witch Star to expand the mining area. "
Because four to five thousand savages have joined the ranks of mining in Savage Valley, the production of crystal stones has increased a lot.
Yang Xiao also invited a prospecting team to prospect, and dozens of mines were discovered around the virgin forest. Each mine had as few as five or six mineral veins, and as many as a dozen ore veins.
Yang Xiao once again invited investment from the detected mines, attracting more and more people to come to mine.
So, here comes the problem.
In the past, when there was only Karachi, private mine owners were looking for mines everywhere.
Later, the God of War seized the territory of the Pegasus Empire, and Long Yue took over most of the existing mines for development, leaving only some remote areas or poor mineral areas for these private mine owners to explore.
Not only do many private mine owners not make money, they also have to pay for exploration fees.
The Savage Valley where Yang Xiao is located is rich in mineral veins, and the mines that have been discovered are used to attract investment, which naturally attracts a large number of private mine owners to mine.
Some mine owners even withdrew from unprofitable mines in the Pegasus City area and went directly to mines in Savage Valley.
The number of private mine owners and miners is limited. As more people come to Savage Valley, the number of people in Pegasus City's jurisdiction will naturally decrease a lot.
Long Yue has now robbed three new pieces of virgin forest. It originally expected private mine owners to come over and help develop part of it, but now, no one is exploring or mining at all.
This made Long Yue feel very unhappy, as if he had cooked a large table of dishes but the guests did not come.
"Master Long, two more mine owners have withdrawn from the mine today. They said that the crystal content there was too low and it was not profitable. They went to the Savage Valley."
"boom!"
Long Yue was drinking tea from a cup when he dropped the cup to the ground.
"This Savage King is so hateful. He has attracted all these private mine owners. Who will mine our mine?"
One of the guards hesitated and added,
"More than 20 mines have been evacuated recently, and the output this month will be scary."
"Snapped!"
Long Yue slapped the coffee table, and the coffee table immediately shattered.
shouted loudly:
"No, we must not reduce production. The eldest prince's army is still waiting for our crystal resources. If the mines are reduced, how will I face the eldest prince."
"But, we are temporarily short of manpower, what should we do?"
Long Yue stood up, walked back and forth in the hall angrily, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Order current miners to extend their mining time by 2 hours every day."
The guard was stunned and whispered:
"Sir, my daily mining time is already one hour longer than that of the miners in Karachi. If it is extended by another two hours, I am afraid it will be too much to bear?"
"Can't stand it? What can't be tolerated? Those people are slaves, they are all king-level evolvers, will they die if they take two more hours?
Even if you die, you must increase production for me. This is an order. Go ahead and give the order. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed directly! "
The guard under him was stunned and immediately said:
"yes!"
After the guards left, Long Yue thought that he had worked hard to conquer three forests, but no private mine owners came to mine, and dozens of original mine owners had left. Who was doing this hard work for?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, burning with rage.
"Damn, this Savage King is simply too much. I'll go find Jino and see what he says."
Long Yue took a few guards and took a spaceship to Karachi and met Jino.
Because of Savage Valley's surrender, Karachi City's crystal production to the Dragon Empire has increased by about 20%, and Jino has received praise from his superiors.
Seeing Long Yue walking into his office with an angry look on his face, Jino smiled and said:
"Master Long, what made you angry? I heard that you captured three primeval forests in succession. You should be happy, right?"
"Hmph, don't mention it. I did take those three forests. However, many private mine owners now go to Savage Valley to mine. I am very short of miners now. What the hell is this Savage King doing?
Also, he quietly transported the three savage tribes I attacked to the Savage Valley. Do you know about this? "
Jino smiled faintly,
"Private mine owners have always made money wherever they go. We have no control over this kind of thing.
As for what you said about the savages gathering in the Savage Valley, I have also heard about it. Yang Xiao said that those savages were chased by your army and fled in all directions. With no way to go, they went to the Savage Valley to join them. The Savage King acted as The big leader of the savage tribe cannot refuse,
After all, you are the cause of this matter. If you don't attack the virgin forest, wouldn't there be nothing wrong? "
Long Yue looked at Jino with some hesitation.
