Chapter Eighty Fifth Five-Year Plan

  At first, Randolf only ate one of Li Xie's palms to advance, now Li Xie directly chopped off his elbow, with twice the meat. Li Xie believed that if his flesh could really help the demon beast advance, then half an arm would definitely be enough for Jin Feng War Chicken to advance!

  As usual with all sorts of mysterious objects, Li Xie's hand entered the Golden Feathered War Chicken's mouth and transformed into a warm current that flowed throughout its entire body.

  Golden Feathered War Chicken was about to say a few more words, but just as it was summoned out, it was stuffed with something again. Who wouldn't be annoyed? But before it could make a sound, its pair of chicken eyes were filled with shock, followed by an excited and thrilled expression.

  "Cough!"

  "Hahaha..."

  Golden Feathered Fighting Chicken proudly raised its head and let out a loud crow: "I feel a strange sensation! My body is suddenly filled with power, it's like I'm going to explode! No, I'm going to level up!"

  "Cough..."

  A loud, long crowing sound of the Golden Feathered War Chicken, a wave of air ripples out from it as the center, with tremendous impact force, causing objects in the room to scatter and fly about wildly. Jack rotated his fighting energy to defend against this impact force, while Li Xie's entire body flew backward, fortunately he wasn't at the same level of powerlessness as when he first arrived on the Continent of Gods, only retreating a few meters back.

  Then again saw the golden-plumed war chicken's whole body change into a golden light, the golden light became more and more intense, until it was dazzling to the eyes, before slowly softening. Then saw the chicken-shaped golden light gradually enlarge, roughly doubling in size!

  "Hiss......"

  Golden light retracted, the Golden Feathered War Chicken's form reappeared, with no difference from its previous appearance, except that its body had grown to twice its original size. Originally half a meter long and half a meter high, it now measured one meter in length and height! Its crest, which was one of the few places on its body not originally golden, had also turned into a light golden color.

  "Have I leveled up?!" Jin Ling, the war chicken, couldn't believe it: "I just leveled up like this? Why? I didn't even feel the divine light descending!"

  "Hehe, I told you, as Jack's demonic pet, you'll have unexpected gains. Letting you advance to the 9th rank right away, isn't this gain huge?" Li Xie said with a smile, but his heart was actually bitter."

  His flesh can actually make the demon beast upgrade! Isn't this just a Tang Monk from another world? Why is this happening?! If such a bizarre thing were to spread, the consequences would be unthinkable!

  Jack was stunned on one side! The previous suspicion had been shattered by the promotion of Golden Rooster, and now only shock remained!

  "This world is actually so amazing! Human flesh can actually help demons upgrade! How did this meat grow? It's all human flesh, and it actually has such an effect?"

  Jack's eyes narrowed as he looked at Li Xie: "Could it be that you are not human?!"

  Jīn Líng's fighting cock suddenly advanced in rank, feeling inexplicably happy and didn't ask why it had advanced, just kept thanking Li Xiān and Jié Kè!

  At this moment, Jin Ling's war chicken, with its head held high, the eyes on that proud face are filled with such pride!

  It is proud of its wise choice!

  "From now on, whoever dares to say that being a human's pet will lose freedom and dignity, this chicken will immediately beat him up! Tell him to stop talking nonsense!"

  Li Xie glanced at Jin Feng's war chicken and said, "Now that you've gotten what you wanted, behave yourself. We have serious business to discuss, go to one side."

  Jie Ke wants to put it in the magical pet space, Jin Ling war chicken hurriedly said: "No, I'll go out and show off. Where's the kitten? I'm going to challenge it one-on-one."

  "You should watch the fish and drink by the pond in the garden, go find her." Li Xie watched Jin Ling Zhan Ji walk towards the abyss with a pitiful gaze.

  "Adult." Jack looked at Li Xie with a strange gaze: "Are you human?"

  When asked this question, Li Ye was somewhat depressed! But thinking that he couldn't be considered human either, he said: "If you think it's more reasonable for me not to be human, then consider me non-human."

  "Sir, Jack didn't mean it that way, I just...just couldn't accept such an astonishing thing for a moment!"

  "Alright, let's get down to business." Li Xie said seriously: "This time I'm going to Manni City, it'll be at least a month or two, but I also can't say exactly how long. During this period, you will be fully in charge of the affairs of Ju Hua City. Another thing, His Majesty has assigned you to me, does he have any specific intentions?"

  Jack shook his head: "Your Majesty only told me to listen to adults."

  "Hmm, let's just say that the Right Minister and I don't get along, everyone in the imperial court knows this, so I won't elaborate. This time's assassin is definitely his handiwork. Normally, I'm a gentle soul who doesn't like to stir up trouble, but if someone wants to mess with me, I'll fight to the death! If he wants to kill me, I'll kill his whole family! Do you understand what I mean?"

  "Of course! This is the kind of method that Jack appreciates the most! Even if it's the Right Prime Minister, since he dared to make a move, he must be prepared to pay the price in blood! Sir, what do you want Jack to do? With just one order from you, Jack can bring a thousand elite troops and guarantee a stealthy infiltration into the Imperial Capital, annihilating the entire family of the Right Prime Minister!"

  "I know you used to be the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, sneaking into the capital is not difficult." Li Xie coldly smiled and said: "However, killing the Right Prime Minister cannot quell this matter, the one who truly needs to be dealt with..."

  "Leopard Legion!" Jack had been living in the imperial capital for a long time and also understood the situation. How could he not know that Marquis Panson was of the same mind as You?

  "To be exact, it's the Sunflower City's Cheetah Legion, a total of one million troops! How confident are you in taking them down?"

  "This... " Jack's face was difficult to look at: "Your Excellency, we currently have an army of one million, but apart from 5,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 irregular troops, the rest are mostly just cannon fodder. To reach the standard of a regular army of one million, it would take at least three to five years of training. With our current situation, if we were to go up against the ten-million-strong Leopard Army, we would only be completely annihilated, there's no other possibility! Moreover, what makes the Leopard Army strong is that they have magical beasts, and in battle, these magical beasts can double or even triple their combat effectiveness! We..."

  "From now on, I will start training and as for the monster, I will find a way to deal with it."

  "Sir, our legion's problem is that we have too few sword saints and almost no mages. We can still buy magic beasts, but sword saints need to be trained, and they also need the martial arts manual. Mages require even more guidance from a mentor. As for the martial arts manual, I, Jack, can contribute my family's traditional manual and teach the first few levels of the manual without violating our family rules. However, mages are a problem, and in military battles, mages play a much bigger role than sword saints as they have long-range attacks. But cultivating mages requires a relatively long period of time. Sir, I dare not hide it from you, with our current situation, to defeat the 100,000-strong Sunflower City Hunting Leopard Legion, we will need at least ten years or more."

  "Ten years..." Li Xie shook his head: "Ten years is too long! Three to five years may still be acceptable, but ten years and I'm worried that the Dajin Dynasty will make a move during this time. By then, the Tudor Dynasty will be attacked from both sides, relying on Duke Rhein and the Imperial Guard, there's still a risk of annihilation."

  "Good heavens!" exclaimed Jack, "Do you mean that the Leopard Guards are going to revolt?"

  "It's the Right Minister and Marquis Panseng who want to rebel!" Li Xie sighed: "These two guys, why can't they just be good officials? Dammit, now I have to bother with them too!"

  Originally, whether the Tudor dynasty was destroyed or not, Li Xie didn't care. However, after being a duke for a long time, Li Xie gradually got used to his role, and with the gap between him and the Right Minister, if things didn't go well, it would be the Right Minister and Duke Pan who would seize power, and Li Xie was afraid of being hunted down.

  He would rather not have such days, and it's better for the Tudor dynasty to perish than to be hunted down.

  This is why they can't help but care about the situation of the Great Day Dynasty. If they were to attack, the Right Minister and the Marquis of Pan Sen would definitely respond accordingly. Therefore, devouring the Hunting Leopard Corps must be done before the Great Day Dynasty makes its preparations.

  "Sir, in that case, I'm afraid we have only five years left." Jack said with a serious expression.

  "Why?"

  Jack replied, "I also know some of the situation in the Great Day Dynasty from my military experience. They don't dare to attack the Dutton Dynasty, not because they are afraid of losing, but because the Luliu Dynasty on their eastern side is eyeing them covetously! However, within five years, the Great Day Dynasty will be able to pacify Luliu, and at that time, they will definitely launch a large-scale attack on Dutton!"

  "Five years!" Li Xie said in a cold voice: "Golden Wing War Chicken has been promoted again, how much more time will it take at least?"

  "It's probably going to take six or seven years, and that's assuming no injuries, for it to reach the critical point of promotion again."

  "No wonder Mona was promoted to Sacred Sacrifice, Your Majesty didn't even summon Duke Lain back. It's impossible to rely on the beast promotion to overwhelm temporarily. Let's think of another way." Li Xie said: "Jack, our army will be equipped and trained with the goal of devouring the Sun City's Cheetah Army, mages, sword saints, beast problems, can be solved then solve, can't be solved then think of another way, also, I want you to closely monitor the news from the Sunflower City Cheetah Army Corps, maybe we don't need a head-on confrontation."

  "Yes, sir!" Jack continued: "Sir, if the goal is to defeat the 100,000-strong Cheetah Army, then we must start stockpiling grain, forging weapons, equipping warhorses, manufacturing chariots, and..."

  As soon as Jack said that, Li Xie got a headache. He had also seen and knew that if one wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. The army's food and grass supplies cannot be lacking, the food and grass need to be planted, the military equipment needs ironwork craftsmen, etc., so they need to open up land, find iron ore...

  Nowadays, Chrysanthemum City is in a state of disrepair and needs to be revitalized. Although it's bustling with activity every day, getting all these things going again is also a big headache.

  Li Xie directly took out a crystal card worth 500 million gold coins from the spatial ring and handed it all to Jack: "Ask Xiao An for help, and also, the recruitment meeting will continue. All kinds of talents, use whoever can be used. In five years, there are many things we can do. Just like this, you go arrange it, I'll leave the city without letting others know, lest some people have ulterior motives."

  "Yes, sir!"

  This trip to Manny City is mainly to get in touch with the mainland Chamber of Commerce, and by the way, see if there are any Warcraft business opportunities. To put it bluntly, it's just to see the world and make some connections with Sandor Clegane, the president of the Warcraft Association, so that future transactions can be more convenient. Therefore, Li Xie didn't bring too many people, only letting Van Dyke Sell and Zayn Nard follow him, while long-term follower Cano stayed in Huahua City to help Jack, even Meow was left behind by Li Xie in Huahua City.

  Taking this unlucky beast to do monster business, Li Xie feared she would be forced to buy it! After all, going to the unfamiliar Manny City, the two masters by her side might not be able to cover for her.

  Then the three of them secretly left Chrysanthemum City and set out on the road to Manny City.
