64: Chapter 64 I'm going to plant thousands of crossbows on the floating islands!
Yesterday, besides the four people killed when he subjugated the 32 servant lords including Jung Jae-soo...
The remaining 58 kills were actually from the internal strife between the Japanese and koreans; after their mutual slaughter, the kills were credited to Xu Xuan.
Although the system hadn't explained anything, Kim Yong-jun vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"Aish! Do you guys feel like something's not right?"
At this moment, Kim Yong-jun, hiding in the woods, looked at his various injured and miserable underlings behind him.
Other underlings stroked their chins in deep thought: "It really is a bit strange. I killed three Japanese Lords, but there was actually no reward."
"Me too, I killed five! The system didn't give me any reward at all."
They began to calculate carefully, and the more they calculated, the more wrong it felt.
Why didn't the system give them a single thing after they killed the enemy lords?
On the contrary, that Xu Xuan was clearly nearby yesterday; they had seen Xu Xuan's Floating Island there with their own eyes.
And then?
And then did this kid kill enemies from the void? How could he have 62 kills? It's impossible, it makes no sense!
It was only then that Kim Yong-jun realized something: "I'm afraid we've been tricked... Kim Eun-min, get the hell out here!!!"
Accompanied by Kim Yong-jun's angry roar, that long-haired woman wearing jeans walked out from the crowd, trembling.
Before this woman with long, wavy hair could speak, Kim Yong-jun went straight up and grabbed her hair. His methods were so brutal that everyone frowned.
Pulling Kim Eun-min's long hair, this irritable young man in a white shirt and black trousers roared at the woman: "Kim Eun-min, you bitch, shiba! Explain it clearly to me, why did you take the initiative to start the war last night?"
With her hair being pulled out and blood flowing from her forehead, the trembling woman recalled: "I don't know... I don't know, Yong-jun oppa. I just went to the wild to relieve myself last night, and then I forgot everything when I came back."
Kim Eun-min had a memory gap; she didn't know she had been controlled by Su Daji last night.
However, Kim Yong-jun directly slapped her, hitting Kim Eun-min's face repeatedly until her right cheek swelled up.
"Shiba, I'll teach you to 'not remember,' aish! Have you remembered yet? If not, I'll hit you again!"
Kim Yong-jun wasn't satisfied after several slaps; he pulled her scalp until it bled, and the woman was in so much pain that she knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
A companion nearby couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but step forward to persuade him.
"Yong-jun hyung, that's enough. She was probably being controlled by Xu Xuan in secret, perhaps using some unknown method."
Just as this handsome guy stepped forward, Kim Yong-jun immediately threw a punch, directly collapsing the man's nose.
"Representative Xu! Do you still think this is the Republic of Korea! This is the Lord Continent now, and you are no longer my superior, Representative Xu! Xu Taishang!"
Saying that, Kim Yong-jun dragged the frail Xu Taishang up and grabbed him by the throat.
"Let me tell you, Representative Xu, you are no longer the high-and-mighty son of a chaebol! You are now a dog under my command, so understand your place!"
"This is the Lord Continent! No matter if you were a female celebrity or a high-and-mighty prosecutor before, even the son of a chaebol is just trash in my eyes now!"
The over 1.9-meter-tall Kim Yong-jun glared at everyone present: "Do you understand? No matter what your status or position was in the past, once you're on the Lord Continent, you have to listen to me."
Hearing this, the others were angry but didn't dare to speak out.
After all, Kim Yong-jun had a unique title, and his attributes were stronger than others.
Furthermore, Kim Yong-jun had his own lackeys and followers, with over a dozen loyal underlings.
These people, whether they were former female celebrities, prosecutors, or even the son of a chaebol! Once they fell into Kim Yong-jun's hands, they were only fit to be dogs.
Strength is king here; whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.
In this era, no scheme is as effective as a fist; at least those following Kim Yong-jun were all submissive and didn't dare to resist.
It's just that they didn't know this scene was being watched by the Little White Fox lurking in the shadows.
And Xu Xuan could also see what this group of people was discussing through Su Daji's vision.
Xu Xuan saved the recording; it would have other uses later.
He took another look at the rewards the system had given him.
[By sowing discord, you have caused the lords of two countries to slaughter each other. You have successfully used the 'Scheme of Sowing Discord.']
[Obtained Reward: Assassin Training Academy.]
[Assassin Training Academy: Can normally train ordinary assassins. If a special Divine General (e.g., Su Daji) is assigned, special units—Phantoms—can be trained.]
Interesting!
This assassin unit doesn't seem to be just for assassination; once trained, they can also infiltrate the enemy camp and use their beauty to get close to some of the opponent's important figures.
Currently, it seems Phantom Assassins can only be used to assassinate targets.
But if, as the civilization develops, foreign lords establish a civil service system, Phantom Assassins could also be sent to seduce the opponent's civil officials to obtain intelligence.
Good heavens, it's equivalent to an ancient version of the Soviet Union's 'Swallow' spies.
Once Su Daji returns, he'll let her serve as the principal of the Assassin Academy.
For now, Xu Xuan intended to defeat the Japanese and South Korean lords one by one, taking advantage of their mutual distrust to annihilate one of the parties.
Just then, Su Daji sent new intelligence.
[Su Daji: Both sides seem to have realized our scheme and have started sending people to make contact, attempting to join forces.]
Upon receiving this information, Xu Xuan frowned.
"They are a bit smarter than I imagined, joining forces so quickly? With so many people, it really won't be easy for me to handle..."
These Japanese and South Korean lords had shared their technology with each other, and their combat power wasn't too weak.
If he committed all his troops to a head-on confrontation with them, the losses would outweigh the gains.
He glanced at the Ballista Workshop and asked Chi You: "General Chi You, how many ballistae have we produced?"
Chi You, who was supervising in the Ballista Workshop, heard Xu Xuan's voice in his mind.
He immediately reported: "Great King, we have just mastered the ballista technology and have already had the craftsmen rush production, working two shifts without interruption. From last night until now, we have only produced 15 ballistae and 1,000 bolts."
Hearing this, Xu Xuan frowned deeply.
He felt that the number of workers was still too small; currently, there were about 1,000 workers assigned to production.
They had to build houses, forge weapons, and refine bronze; there simply weren't enough hands.
Fortunately, today's wave of immigrants had begun to set out, and new immigrants had been arriving one after another this morning, with two or three thousand people already here.
Thinking of this, Xu Xuan had to step up the pace: "General Chi You, it's expected that over ten thousand people will arrive on the Floating Island today. Train all of these people to be craftsmen."
Chi You immediately gasped: "Ten thousand people, trained as craftsmen? So many?"
But then he heard Xu Xuan say: "Those who know how to make ballistae naturally also know how to operate them. Do you understand what I mean?"
When Xu Xuan said this, Chi You vaguely grasped something.
Good heavens...
Is the Great King planning to almost give up on bows and install ballistae all over the Floating Island?"
