Chapter 1659: Chapter 735: Mad Lanling, Proposal to Princess Di Nie!
Inside the castle, Lanling received Elder Di En, the brother of the Tiancha King.
Upon seeing Elder Di En, Lanling couldn’t help but be slightly taken aback, because he looked so much like a human.
In contrast, at this mont, even though Lanling was incomparably handso and considered the supre leader of the Near-Human Tribe, he actually didn’t belong to any race; the features of the Demon Race, Human Race, and Near-Human Tribe could all be found in him.
Elder Di En, at a glance, appeared to be of the Near-Human Tribe, and very close to human.
Catching Lanling’s gaze, Elder Di En smiled and said, “I am indeed of the sa parentage as Your Majesty the Tiancha King, but perhaps due to the diversity of my father’s bloodline, it made my brother a typical Demon Clan person, while I look exceedingly human. I know the Fla Demon Banner is the holand of all the Near-Human Tribe, so the Fla Demon Lord can also be considered my leader.”
Just hearing these words felt like a refreshing spring breeze.
Elder Di En was truly humble and gentle. At this ti, the Tiancha Tribe was the absolute overlord of the Demon Territory, and as the brother of the Tiancha King, his status was almost equivalent to that of several great Demon Kings, far above Lanling at this ti. Yet he stated that as a mber of the Near-Human Tribe, he ought to be a subject of Lord Lanling.
After a bit of jesting, Elder Di En said, “May I ask the Fla Demon Lord a question?”
Lanling said, “Please!”
Elder Di En asked, “When I secretly entered the Fla Demon Banner Territory, I found that there has been a trendous change compared to other Demon Territories. Especially around the Fla Demon City, with endless pastures, fertile fields, and countless chimneys emitting smoke. All of this feels so unfamiliar, is the Fla Demon Lord trying to completely overthrow the lifestyle of the Demon Territory and transform its civilization?”
Lanling replied, “It’s not about transforming civilization; you know the strengths of the Near-Human Tribe lie in wisdom, industriousness, and loyalty. They lack in military prowess, and their abilities are in construction, not destruction. My Fla Demon Banner is the holand for all the Near-Human Tribe, of course we must give them a place to utilize their talents.”
Elder Di En said, “You’ve abandoned the Demon Race’s tradition of living by hunting, and turned to agriculture and weaving. Is this an attempt to learn from the Human Kingdom?”
“No, it’s not like that…” Lanling replied, “My Fla Demon Banner may appear like the Human Kingdom, but it’s not at all.”
At this ti, the Human Kingdom could be considered a semi-feudal monarchical system, with the shadow of the Dragon Temple overhead, not much different from ancient China.
Lanling’s Fla Demon Banner, however, was exceedingly complex, resembling a primitive society, a monarchical system, and a socialist system all at once.
With a single command from Lanling, everyone focused their efforts on accomplishing a particular task, without regard for reward or personal interest, motivated only by boundless enthusiasm for construction.
Of course, this selfless zeal is difficult to maintain indefinitely, perhaps at most for a decade or so. If Lanling could stimulate them with constant victories and glory, this selfless fervor could last twenty to thirty years.
But eventually, this selfless enthusiasm would cool down. At that ti, motivation would have to be driven by interest and desire to keep the empire growing.
Yet, a decade’s worth of selfless striving is ample.
The achievents from this decade could surpass those of past centuries, enough to establish a Fla Demon Empire, even one of unparalleled might.
At this mont, Lanling truly felt a sense of urgency, as if ti waits for no one. If allowed to quietly cultivate and develop, without needing vast territories, twenty million square kiloters, two million Near-Human Tribe, and twenty million Rakshasa Tribespeople would suffice.
Within a decade, Lanling could construct an absolutely powerful empire, sweeping across the entire Demon Territory with the advantage of civilizational disparity, establishing a unified Demon Empire.
The so-called civilizational disparity is not just about cannons, battleships, and the like.
More importantly, it’s about researching demon bloodlines, crystal stone energy, and mysterious energy. Much like the Demonic Laboratory of the Dragon Temple, mass-producing powerful demon troops like ghost manta ray cavalry and centaurs. Modifying the Star Magic teorite to create brand new strategic weapons of mass destruction.
The current Star Magic teorite is terrifying; once deployed, not a blade of grass grows, instantly transforming the entire area into a forbidden zone for life.
Is there a way to modify it, to research a force of the stars that only destroys the armies on the ground, but not the vitality of the land, plants, etc.? And if the long-term consumption of vitality could be converted into an instantaneous burst, it would be even more perfect.
Lanling has begun the theoretical research on this matter, but the achievent is still very, very, very distant.
In short, if given ten to twenty years, Lanling has confidence that with the power of the Fla Demon Banner, he could sweep across the world.
However, reality doesn’t give him this opportunity; the largest civil war in the Demon Territory is about to break out, and the Fla Demon Banner will definitely be involved.
Elder Di En did not pursue this topic further, but rather smiled and said, “Does the Fla Demon Lord know that the original great war was scheduled to break out a few days ago? But because of your ancient intervention, Your Majesty delayed the plan to attack the Demon Alliance.”
Upon hearing these words, Lanling was instantly creeped out, inhaling sharply in alarm.
This wasn’t just being flattered; it felt like being stared at by a demon, an unsettling feeling.
Being watched by a super big boss like the Tiancha King at this mont was not a good thing at all.
Elder Di En said, “Because Your Majesty might change the battle plan due to the Fla Demon Lord.”
Please, no, please, no!
