RANKING OF KINGS: MY LAND IS SSS RANK

Chapter 777 - 777 Fishing



777 Fishing

A soldier’s duty was to protect the people and the country. Now that there was no country, there was no one to pledge loyalty to. They would not expel the people they had protected in the past either.

As time passed, more and more people gathered and relied on the General Valley to survive.

Although life wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad either. At least they could live on and were willing to work hard. Those who had the opportunity to become cultivators could also continue to grow stronger and change their fate.

The people who gathered here were like the people of General Valley. They did not belong to any forces and had no intention of joining other villages or towns. Instead, they felt that it was safe near General Valley. They did not need to be subservient to others and lived dependent on the whims of others. They were free people now.

Compared to General Valley, these people were in high demand in the eyes of many villages and towns. There were millions or even tens of millions of people. Once these people were subdued, they would be an immeasurable foundation for any force. They could quickly strengthen themselves and surpass other forces in this way.

The General Valley and the free people were the two most popular groups in the Thousand Army Oasis. Many people coveted them, but they did not dare to act rashly.

No one in the vicinity dared to force them because of the General Valley.

The houses, buildings, and streets built by these people were all gathered together, forming a natural scale. It looked no different from an actual ancient city. However, this town had no master nor Castellan, and the people could freely enter and leave, live and survive.

It looked chaotic but actually, there were rules of survival within.

As they were grateful for General Valley’s protection, the city was named the General City.

Although life in the General City without a Castellan or an army was not easy, no one was willing to leave. At least they could survive here. If they went to other places, everything would be unknown.

On this day, a few strangers came to the General City, or rather, the Thousand Army Oasis.

These strangers were none other than Li Xiang and his group. Not only were Li Xiang and Wushuang Ghost there, but Jiang Ni and Song Yuqing also appeared.

After they had escaped from the Ghost Cave through the Void Divine Gate, it was already time for them to part ways. However, Jiang Ni’s destination was the Thousand Army Oasis. Although Song Yuqing did not plan to come here, she still chose to travel together after some consideration.

Her flying sword was damaged and needed time to recover. With her combat power greatly reduced, she could be in danger at any time if she acted alone.

After going through thick and thin with Li Xiang and the others, although they couldn’t say that they knew each other well, they could still tell each other’s character. At least they were more reliable than those people they knew casually.

Moreover, they had been together for a long time and could be considered harmonious. It was also a good thing to travel together to see the customs of the desert.

As for Li Xiang and his companion, they were completely attracted by the tens of millions of civilians and millions of soldiers.

Li Xiang was obsessed with gathering people. Wherever he went, he would not hesitate at all if he could gather enough people.

Wuhshuang Ghost would follow Li Xiang wherever he went.

This was also the reason why the four of them had entered the Thousand Army Oasis together.

“What a good oasis! Is the legendary General City at the front?”

Li Xiang stood on a dune and looked into the distance. At the end of his vision, there was a huge city.

Perhaps it couldn’t even be considered a city because there were no city walls. They were just simple fenced buildings.

The houses that were built were mainly wooden houses from ancient times. These houses were everywhere and their positions were messy. It was not beautiful at all. It was difficult to survive in this chaotic world. Who would care if the house they lived in was beautiful enough, spacious, and comfortable? As long as they could live and shelter themselves from the wind and rain, that was enough.

On the whole, it looked like a refugee camp but not a city.

There was a large plot of fertile land near the periphery of the city. It was planted with rice and other crops. The rice seemed to be growing well. Although it could not feed everyone, it could ensure that most people would not starve to death.

The generals of the General Valley were not capable officials, and they had never managed the city. The only thing they could do was to protect the safety of the people here. As for how these people lived, it was not something they could interfere with.

“It seems that the people here are not living very well!” Song Yuqing looked up and could vaguely see many people in tattered clothes. She said with some emotion.

“It’s not that their lives aren’t good enough, but there’s no order, and production can’t be restored. There must be skilled craftsmen and those who know how to plant crops among the millions of people. They can’t play their greatest role because this is a chaotic world, and order could not be restored. The morale is uncertain, and they just live on. Thus, it is naturally impossible for them to have all the facilities, and they didn’t have the mood to do all this either. To be able to do this is already quite rare,” Li Xiang shook his head and said.

The people’s livelihood was not just a simple word. It required various foundations to carry out.

There had to be an organization, order, and a stable environment for the people to live, build, and develop in peace.

Like now, they had to worry about the food and their safety every day. How would they have the time and energy to think about more? As the saying goes, a snake can’t survive without its head. The soldiers in General Valley didn’t know how to manage the people and restore the people’s livelihood. When a large number of people gathered together, it was difficult to restore their livelihood in a short time no matter how many of them there were.

Even clothes couldn’t be made here, and there wasn’t a currency. Perhaps crystal stones could be considered a currency, but it was very difficult to circulate.

If this situation did not undergo a fundamental change, it would not last long.

“However, this place is much safer compared to other places. This is also the reason why many people aren’t willing to leave. This place is also mixed with good and bad, but there might be big fish raised in the chaos,” said Jiang Ni suddenly. His words seemed to be implying something.

“Big fish? Then I’ll try to fish and see how big it is!” Li Xiang smiled. He was here to catch a big fish.

The bigger the fish was, the more he liked it.

“However, we can’t just go there like this. Fishing naturally requires the bait. Without bait, how can we bait the big fish?” said Li Xiang with a faint smile.

“Oh, I wonder what Brother Li’s bait is?” Jiang Ni looked at Li Xiang and asked.

“The bait is naturally something that everyone is interested in. Otherwise, how can we get big fish?” said Li Xiang calmly.

“Do you have something in your hands that can interest all the people? Can it be various resources? You’re not ordinary!” Jiang Ni’s eyes narrowed and he said slowly.
