Chapter 1524: To the East Lies a Great Kingdom—Super Rich, Tons of Slaves!

After staying in Qingluan City for two months, the Qin family first transcribed and organized a large batch of precious books and handed them to Su Yang—this was only a portion of the Qin family's collection.

Su Yang glanced over the book list and was extremely satisfied.

Su Yang planned to put the books into the Void Wandering Spirit's storage space and send them to the Huaxia Federation first.

Trying to finish transcribing everything in a short time was unrealistic.

Su Yang sent them batch by batch, letting the Huaxia Federation begin researching first.

At the same time, he also planned to go check on Chen Huan and the others' progress, to see if they were acting in accordance with the agreement both sides had made.

General Su left Sovereign Jiazi, Xia Na, and Qin Xiaoxiao behind here.

Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na were currently examining the Qingluan Kingdom's education and military systems, to see what was worth taking from this country's nation.

Su Yang was mulling over whether to find a few experts engaged in education work from the Huaxia Federation to come over.

When it came to the military system, both Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na understood it fairly well.

But they didn't really understand the Huaxia Federation's education system.

Xia Na had never received any complete education to speak of, and Sovereign Jiazi had been trained straight out of the Island Nation.

Leaving the Qingluan Kingdom, Su Yang handed several hundred precious books over to the Huaxia Federation Academy of Sciences.

The Academy of Sciences' experts treasured them as if they had found a priceless treasure, praising Su Yang's sharp eye nonstop, flattering him to no end.

Recalling the Qingluan Kingdom's marching route, Su Yang left the Huaxia Federation and headed west.

In about three days, he ran into the Qingluan Kingdom's army.

The Qingluan Kingdom's hundred-thousand-strong army, having eliminated the Huaxia Federation as a target, hadn't split their forces much.

Even if they did split forces, it wouldn't be to the point of sending them to other continents.

Using the Storm Eagle's superior vantage point, Su Yang didn't clash with the Qingluan Kingdom's army and went straight to find Chen Huan and Mo Yunjian.

"General Su!"

"General Su, you've come!"

Chen Huan greeted him respectfully.

Chen Huan's guards, and the two generals beside them, seeing that both Chen Huan and Mo Yunjian had taken the initiative to greet Su Yang, did not make a move.

They also quickly figured out Su Yang's identity.

Because the military uniform Su Yang wore was the same style as the one Mo Yunjian wore.

Su Yang said with a smile: "I've come to check on your progress here!"

Of course he couldn't tell Chen Huan that he'd come to see whether they were pulling any tricks.

"Welcome, General Su, to inspect our work!" Chen Huan said with a hearty laugh.

"Is everything going smoothly for you?"

"Very smoothly. Along the way we only ran into a few Emperor-class fierce beasts, and we slaughtered them all. Those beast tamers didn't pose much of a threat to us either. Many cities surrendered on the spot. When those commoners heard we were going to capture them and take them off as slaves, guaranteeing their safety and guaranteeing they'd have enough to eat, they even looked quite happy about it." Chen Huan said helplessly, "I keep getting the feeling they see us as saviors… when clearly we're just here to snatch people."

Su Yang looked at Mo Yunjian, who said quietly: "These city-states not only have to fend off fierce beast attacks, they also have to resist raids from other city-states—it's a total mess. The biggest city-state only has thirty or fifty thousand people. Many commoners are skin and bones. The city-state nobles don't care whether they live or die at all, only currying favor with beast tamers… surrendering to become slaves is, for those commoners, still a way to survive."

Su Yang frowned and asked: "Is the situation over here really that serious?"

He hadn't really come over here much himself.
