Chapter 141: Praise the Emperor

Fourth Defense Zone Outer City, Giant Cedar District.

A group of survivors were busily and orderly working in various factories; they no longer worried about the Beast Race attacking them. During this period, Orcs almost never appeared here, and if they did, they were quickly dealt with by the members of the Guerrilla.

"Today, I heard the Emperor took his soldiers to fight the Beast Race."

"Really? Then those Beast Race members are truly in for a rough time. I hope the Emperor returns in triumph!"

Two workers wiped the sweat from their brows as they walked out of a Production Zone, chatting as they spoke.

"If only the Emperor could lead us to live here forever, how wonderful that would be!"

"How could that be? Those Xiunu said that the Emperor's dream is to purge the Alien Race and let us live in equality; how could he stop here?"

"I was just saying it casually, of course I know that. The Emperor saved me when I was at my most desperate. After learning of the Emperor's dream, my heart was also surging with emotion. I really hope I can see that day!"

"We will. If it is the Emperor, we will definitely see it!"

Just as the two were chatting, a worker suddenly saw Guerrilla soldiers in the distance bringing back a tall and strong man. Behind the man followed a group of soldiers wearing gas masks, their footsteps following the man in perfect unison.

"Damn, am I seeing things? Is that the Emperor?" One worker thought his eyes were playing tricks on him and rubbed them in disbelief.

"Stop rubbing, it really is! The Emperor is back!" Another worker excitedly patted his coworker's shoulder and said with excitement.

Not far away, Yingzhou said to Ye Cheng beside him, "No stray Beast Race members have come to the Giant Cedar District, have they?"

"No, we haven't seen a shadow of those Beast Race members today." Ye Cheng shook his head, tightened the Assault Rifle on his back, and answered, "So, were those Beast Race members stopped by you? Emp... eror."

"It's fine, you know my name, just call me by my name. There won't be any Beast Race members in the Fourth Defense Zone anymore; they have already been driven out by us!" Yingzhou said with a smile, seeing Ye Cheng's somewhat awkward expression.

"What! The Beast Race has been driven out!" Ye Cheng's eyes widened, looking at Yingzhou in disbelief.

"Yes, some escaped; I couldn't keep all of those Beast Race members behind." Yingzhou said with a somewhat regretful expression.

The surrounding Guerrilla soldiers' expressions also became somewhat subtle after hearing this news.

Escaped? Regretful that he couldn't keep all those Beast Race members behind? Seeing Yingzhou say these words with a look of regret, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers also became somewhat subtle. The strength of the person in front of them seemed to truly allow him to say such things.

"Then... then we don't have to worry about the Beast Race attacking us anymore?" Ye Cheng said somewhat incoherently; hearing this news made him tremble with excitement.

"That is the case for now, so I returned this time to have our survivors here resume production while coordinating with the Inner City to begin restoring the situation in the Outer City."

At this moment, Yingzhou saw many workers running out of the Production Zone not far away, their faces showing joy and their gazes looking at him with piety.

This gaze made Yingzhou feel uncomfortable all over, but since the other party was already looking at him, it wouldn't be good to ignore them, right? It was just the right time to tell them the news that the Beast Race had been driven away, letting these hardworking laborers be happy as well.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou walked toward the factory, and Ye Cheng and the others followed Yingzhou upon seeing this.

"Emperor!"

"Emperor!!"

As Yingzhou walked toward these workers, the workers also shouted at Yingzhou with excited expressions.

Yingzhou raised his broad palm to signal everyone to be quiet. The excited workers instantly quieted down, waiting for Yingzhou's next move.

"You have worked hard! Although you did not go to the battlefield to fight the Orcs, your labor has indeed helped us. It is precisely because of your hard work here that the Giant Cedar District has regained a trace of order. Now, I tell everyone a piece of good news: the Beast Race has been driven out! You no longer have to worry about the Beast Race! This is our shared victory, and you have also contributed your own strength!"

As Yingzhou's voice fell, these workers shed tears of excitement. They were all victims of this Beast Race invasion, had all suffered persecution at the hands of the Beast Race, and all had relatives who died at the hands of those Orcs. Now, those Beast Race members had been driven out of the Fourth Defense Zone; they finally no longer had to worry about those Beast Race members appearing!

"Great Emperor! Thank you for saving us, and thank you for driving those Alien Race members out! We will surely maintain our Loyalty to you, and our Faith will be firm!"

A worker with tears in his eyes knelt on the ground excitedly and said to Yingzhou.

"The next step is the work of building the Outer City. I hope you can adjust your state and restore the appearance of the Outer City."

Yingzhou felt somewhat awkward facing this kind of scene, so he finally encouraged the workers a few words and turned to leave.

"Praise the Emperor!"

Yingzhou returned to the gathering place of the Giant Cedar District Guerrilla and saw Fang Yue and Han Li, who were busy dealing with their work in a flustered state.

"Are you busy?" Yingzhou came to their side and said with a smile.

"Emperor!" Fang Yue saluted Yingzhou very piously after seeing him.

"Captain Yingzhou? How is the battle situation?" Han Li looked up and saw Yingzhou, then hurriedly asked about the battle.

"The Beast Race has been driven out, and the war is temporarily over. I came to expand the scale of production in the Giant Cedar District. Now, the residents of the Inner City and the survivors rescued from the Beast Race's Base Camp will all participate in the construction of the Fourth Defense Zone." After mentioning the Beast Race, Yingzhou began to talk about the Production Zone.

"The Beast Race has been driven out! That is truly not easy!" After hearing this, Han Li also showed a relieved smile, and then he answered Yingzhou, "I have no problem with that. It's just that most of the survivors here were saved by you. I originally thought about agreeing to the liaison personnel sent by the Inner City earlier, but it was rejected by Fang Yue, and the workers here also want to follow your arrangements. I just let them wait until you returned to decide."

"Is that so? Fang Yue, I think this matter is fine; you can arrange it in a moment. Also, what you are doing now is for yourselves, for the Human race; do not worry about me. As long as it is something good for the Human race, I will certainly not oppose it."

Yingzhou looked at Fang Yue and said slowly.

"Yes, I obey your will. I understand your meaning. While remaining Loyal to you, we will also consider helping more people and helping them escape suffering!" Fang Yue answered respectfully.

Although Yingzhou always felt something was not quite right, he couldn't put his finger on it, so he nodded and let him go to start handling this matter.
