As Du You continued his extensive construction, more and more lawbreakers hiding outside were indeed being caught. Whether they hid in tunnels or in the mountains, it was becoming increasingly difficult to remain concealed as these areas were developed.
So Magical Beasts that were continually driven away also beca fatal threats in the eyes of these people.
A large number of Magical Beasts continued to move towards desolate places, and these people did the sa. In the battle for survival space, conflicts naturally erupted. The more Magical Beasts there were, the harder it beca for these people to survive.
In the end, so people ca out and surrendered voluntarily. After all, many things in the past were difficult to investigate. As long as they didn’t continue to make mistakes, there wouldn’t be any major issues. However, so were on the wanted list and didn’t dare to co out, or they believed their own strength to be superior and didn’t care, even actively attacking cities and villages.
Eventually, Du You’s Doppelganger had no choice but to deploy a large number of the Undead, forming patrols to scout these areas daily. They even used quite a few tier-seven Undead.
At this point, these people couldn’t hide anymore. Whenever chaos erupted, the tier-seven Undead would go there and capture them all at once, leaving no one behind. Any slightly chaotic places were quickly subdued.
In the end, many villages nearly reached a state where doors didn’t need to be locked at night.
This level of security was extrely attractive to the suffering peasants around. Du You did not try to hide this at all, and the news spread quickly.
"Dela, I’ve decided. I want to go to the Life Empire; it’s the best environnt there. You should co along too."
"? I can’t go."
"Why not? You’ve never wanted to do those bad things anyway. In that place, there’s a lot you could do. With your strength and talent, you wouldn’t end up worse off than you are now."
Dela shook his head, "I want to go as well. In fact, I’ve wanted to for a long ti. I’ve had enough of this life. But as you know, my family is in the city, and they can’t be moved."
Everyone fell silent. Dela was one of the most capable among them, completing tasks excellently and working tirelessly. At the sa ti, he spent sparingly, accumulating a lot of wealth without squandering it.
He wanted to provide his family with a better environnt, and in the end, he succeeded.
All the wealth he spent directly sent his family into the city. However, with the sudden ergence of the Life Empire, its superior environnt and system attracted countless people.
People like them outside only needed to evade boundary patrols to naturally enter the Life Empire.
Once in the Life Empire, all you have to do is register. The Life Empire does not turn people away. After all, to expand the territory and enhance its utilization, the population is indispensable.
Relying on reproduction to increase the population takes ti; direct infusion is more effective.
Because of the massive outflow of the population, the upper class of those large cities couldn’t stand it anymore and locked down the cities. Cities like theirs, which were closer to the Life Empire, did not let people in or out even more.
Though complaints were abundant inside the city, there was nothing they could do.
"In that case, we’ll wait for you in the Life Empire; you must co." They had already agreed to leave this place. Dela couldn’t leave, but that should only be temporary.
"Don’t worry, I know. Given the developnt of the Life Empire, it is bound to expand outward. By then, whether I leave or not doesn’t matter," soone from the shadows said, seeing things quite clearly.
But as soon as others heard this, they imdiately shut their mouths. One couldn’t talk carelessly about such things; if heard by the city’s powerful, the consequences wouldn’t be good.
Unknown to them, the city lord was also holding a video eting with other city lords.
"Those guys are too troubleso. I don’t know where they got their equipnt, but they can control a city, and now their city is just too stable."
"Yes, what’s the point of being so stable? As long as the commoners can survive, isn’t that enough?"
This was the mindset of most city lords. So didn’t even care if survival was possible; as long as their city existed, it was enough. If the commoners dared to flee, they would catch them and kill them. If you kill enough, no one would dare to escape.
But now it’s different; it’s just too stable over there. Several cities, which do not care about the people, still experience mass escapes despite blockading the city. Reportedly, the most serious one even had a rebellion. By the ti their army took action, a large number of commoners had already left the city.
Though they pursued and killed along the way, many still managed to escape. Ultimately, less than a third of the population remained in the city, severely impacting the city lord’s power and growth rate.
Because of this, several cities have further tightened control over their subordinates.
But many people surrounding these cities had already left. Without these people, serious issues naturally arose within the cities. Resources’ prices continued to rise, making life even more difficult.
In the end, even so of the city’s upper class were affected.
"Damn Life Empire, what the hell are they trying to do? Are they trying to kill us?"
An enraged city lord, from the city where the rebellion occurred, exclaid with fury.
Everyone else glanced at him. Who told him to act so excessively, killing his own people without care? Otherwise, none of this would have happened.
"We must co up with a solution; otherwise, if things continue like this, it’s going to be troubleso."
"What can we do? Unless we buy one of their special city defense systems, but they won’t sell it, and even if they do, can we dare to use it?"
They’re not fools. Such systems could be controlled directly. Who knows what loopholes are inside? If the other side were to use it against them, the losses would be significant. It’s just too risky.
Unfortunately, they lack the skills and manpower. Such a thing is beyond their capability to develop.
"How about we join forces, clear out the Magical Beasts nearby, and provide them with a better environnt? Anyway, we need to show our stance."
"Humph, to compromise with those lowly people, I won’t do it." So still weren’t pleased with this approach.
