Chapter 636

After the succubi took over the Mobsis Abyss, vast numbers of succubi filled the entire Mobsis Abyss, and the Mobsis Abyss would begin to give birth to succubi.

The Meimojiu Society would gain a constant stream of fresh blood.

This is the meaning of occupying a whole layer.

"Ivette, your territory is here."

In the sky, Succubus Natasha pointed to a vast stretch of land.

"Thank you, Queen!"

A look of joy appeared on Ivette's face.

Once, she was merely a minor succubus, barely surviving with Natasha in the Red Soil Abyss.

But how little time had passed—she had already become a legendary succubus.

A standard demon great lord!

From now on, Ivette could continuously recruit succubi willing to submit to her, forming her own succubus legion.

Of course, the core of the entire succubus dynasty remained Natasha.

She was unquestionably the Succubus Queen.

As for Princess Barbara, she would also be one of the pillars of the succubus dynasty.

When Natasha launched external campaigns, Princess Barbara would hold the seat of the succubus dynasty.

Meanwhile, on the Continent of Gods, the stabilization efforts of the Purple Gold Empire continued.

The Purple Gold Empire originally had ten provinces.

The areas of these ten provinces were all quite large.

Combined, the Purple Gold Empire's territory was more than 2.5 times larger than that of the Flame Empire.

As for the three kingdoms along the desert, purely by area—not counting population—they were roughly 1.5 times the size of the Flame Empire.

Of course, national strength cannot be judged by area alone; these three kingdoms suffered from extremely barren land, sparse population, and scarce resources, with hardly any decent mineral deposits—merely vast, empty territory.

That is to say, after annexing the three kingdoms and the Purple Gold Empire, the Flame Empire's territory expanded fourfold.

All provinces of the Purple Gold Empire were naturally absorbed into the Flame Empire.

Thus, the Flame Empire, originally with four provinces, now added three provinces formed from the kingdoms and ten provinces from the Purple Gold Empire, totaling seventeen provinces.

No, now it is eighteen provinces.

Because Meng Ying and Sister Qing Ling incorporated the western section of the Endless Desert into the Flame Empire's territory, establishing a new province: the Desert Province.

This is also the largest province of the Flame Empire—its size equals that of the Flame Empire before expansion—but the current population of this province is pitifully small.

Only the Medusa clan.

In the Endless Desert, there are also sand beasts and some creatures similar to camels—these are pure wild beasts and do not count as subjects.

The Desert Province is currently governed by Lucine, the chieftain of the Medusa clan, as Viceroy.

Immediately after, Meng Ying dispatched over a million captives there as laborers, and sent ten thousand local troops to serve under Lucine.

These ten thousand local troops also had the vital role of guarding the captives.

Lucine planned to transform the Endless Desert into an endless oasis.

Her method was actually simple: groundwater.

Beneath the Endless Desert lay vast reserves of groundwater; the Medusa clan could accurately locate these aquifers and use magic to draw them up to irrigate the desert land.

But this was an enormous undertaking.

Lucine needed a large number of mages and a large number of laborers.

The vast number of warriors captured from the Purple Gold Empire now made excellent candidates for laborers.

Once the Endless Desert had been managed for some time and the Purple Gold Empire was fully stabilized, these million warriors would develop preliminary faith in the Lord of Flame and could then be released, replaced by new recruits paid for with gold.

In terms of population, the Purple Gold Empire had 200 million people.

The Flame Empire had nearly 80 million people.

The three kingdoms combined had nearly 60 million people.

Altogether, the expanded Flame Empire now possessed eighteen provinces and 340 million people!

With such a vast population, once all of them believed in the Lord of Flame, the daily supply of faith would be astonishing!

"These nobles are quite sensible, but some of the great nobles likely still harbor thoughts—Saintess, Mia, Winnie, I leave this to you."

Above the former imperial capital of the Purple Gold Empire, Meng Ying spoke to the fox girl Sister Qing Ling.

Meng Ying was preparing to depart for the Eternal Night Empire.

Sister Qing Ling, being a beastman, still faced many inconveniences in entering the purely human Eternal Night Empire.

Moreover, the Purple Gold Empire needed a legendary-level power to hold its ground.

Also, the Eternal Night Empire's stance toward the Flame Empire remained unclear; it was most appropriate for Meng Ying, as a Saint Realm, to go herself.

Accompanying Meng Ying would be the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess understood the Eternal Night Empire better and was skilled in dealing with human nobles.

Sister Qing Ling nodded and said: "Sister Meng Ying, go with peace of mind—I'll handle things here."

Yesterday, a grand gathering of all nobles had been held in the imperial capital of the Purple Gold Empire.

At this gathering, Meng Ying and Sister Qing Ling issued the trade decree, unveiling silk, sorghum wine, grape wine, fruit wine, and numerous exotic items never before seen in the Purple Gold Empire.

These goods could be transported by these nobles for sale within the Purple Gold Empire.

They could also be sold to nations to the east and north of the Purple Gold Empire.

Of course, due to the existence of the Endless Desert, transportation was a major issue, so the Flame Province would specially rent out a fleet of cargo airships for these nobles to lease.

Stimulated by these high-profit, clearly popular goods, the hearts of the Purple Gold Empire's nobles shifted quickly.

Yet, according to Lucine the Medusa's observations, some great nobles might still harbor ulterior motives.

The Medusa Clan is exceptionally skilled at observing the human heart.

Their observations are often very accurate.

However, Meng Ying has no immediate plans to take action.

First, because she is about to depart for the Eternal Night Empire.

Second, because Meng Ying clearly knows that even with three divine edicts and numerous policies favoring the nobility, the Zi Jin Empire could never have been stabilized so easily.

This is a small empire that has existed for hundreds of years.

The gods of the Zi Jin Empire will surely cause trouble again.

But Meng Ying is not worried.

She is waiting.

Waiting for some people to reveal themselves.

Then she will net them all at once.

The Flame Empire has already offered the Hu Luobo.

Next, the big stick will come into play.

One hand offering the Hu Luobo, the other wielding the big stick—that is the way of conquest.
