Chapter 95: Conquering Tansanila!

"Chirp?" (Got you, didn't you?) Ice Sparrow let out a bright call high in the sky.

At the earlier founding ceremony, it was appointed as the deputy mountain lord of Ice Sparrow Mountain.

Although it became a deputy mountain lord, it still has to pay "rent" to the Ice Lion King.

The Ice Lion King told it.

As long as it hunts down a high‑grade transcendent creature and hands over its flesh and ice core, it earns 10 contribution points. Capturing a high‑grade transcendent creature for the Ice Lion Kingdom yields 50 contribution points.

And once it accumulates 1,000 contribution points, it can become the mountain lord of Ice Phoenix Mountain and gain permanent residency!

To pay enough rent to keep living on the Ice Phoenix Tree, it was also "forced" to join this expansion campaign.

These days Ice Sparrow has been frantically hunting transcendent beings, becoming a diligent "working sparrow."

It has subjugated many transcendent beings, its "performance" even ranking in the top three among all Ice Lion dependents! Upon discovering this high‑grade transcendent Ice Armored Crocodile, Ice Sparrow immediately released freezing air at it.

Attempting a "physical persuasion."

But the Ice Armored Crocodile proved unexpectedly resilient; under its own attacks it held out for so long, nearly frozen to death yet still unyielding! "Wuwuwu~" (Divine bird, I am willing to submit to you, please spare me wuwu!) the crocodile kept whimpering.

This dead bird clearly has the power to kill itself, yet it deliberately uses freezing air to torment itself.

That's just too perverse!

"Caw!" (Lord Ice Sparrow, it seems it can't understand you, caw.) At this moment, an ice crow with light‑blue feathers beside Ice Sparrow hesitated repeatedly, then couldn't help but speak.

If this continues, the Ice Armored Crocodile will be frozen to death by Ice Sparrow!

"Chirp!" (Exactly!) Hearing that, Ice Sparrow suddenly realized why the Ice Armored Crocodile would rather die than submit!

It turned out the crocodile can't understand "bird language," nor can it comprehend "crocodile language."

So it's highly likely the crocodile has already yielded, but can't understand! "Chirp!" (Of course I know it can't understand; I'm deliberately grinding down its will so it will submit more easily~)

Ice Sparrow "stubbornly" retorted.

"Caw!" (I see! As expected of Lord Ice Sparrow!) The ice crow suddenly understood, saying with a face full of admiration.

It was the first transcendent creature Ice Sparrow subjugated not long ago.

After joining the Ice Lion Kingdom, it decided to cling tightly to Ice Sparrow's "thigh"! It has transcendent flesh and no fear of being bullied by other transcendent beings.

For such transcendent beings without their own territory, it's incredibly kind! Ice Sparrow, feeling a bit sorry, pulled a spirit‑linked ice silkworm thread from its feathers and established a mental link with the Ice Armored Crocodile.

"Chirp?" (Submit, or die!)

Ice Sparrow shouted rather dominantly.

"Wuh!" (I submit! I submit!) The Ice Armored Crocodile hurriedly replied, fearing that if it spoke too slowly it would suffer another "beating" from the dead bird! It felt deeply aggrieved.

It had already surrendered long ago, yet this dead bird kept attacking! Only after nearly freezing itself to death did it try to communicate! Tears filled the crocodile's eyes, and at last it couldn't hold them back.

"Chirp!" (Don't panic, I'll take you for treatment.) Seeing the Ice Armored Crocodile on the brink of death, fearing it would not survive without care, Ice Sparrow said a bit sheepishly.

But thinking of the treatment cost, it felt a pang of regret.

A treatment of this magnitude requires a high‑grade transcendent crystal butterfly to intervene, costing at least 5 contribution points!

But if the crocodile dies, it would be an even greater loss!

"Fine, let's earmark that contribution point on the crocodile's head for now, and have it repay me later!"

Ice Sparrow thought silently, and brought the Ice Armored Crocodile to the Ice Lion Legion's medical department.

The pitiful crocodile could never have imagined that, before even officially joining the Ice Lion Kingdom, it was already in debt——————————

One week later.

【Fishing Lion】 Day 13.

The Ice Lion Kingdom's expeditionary force has arrived at the final planned city, Da City.

At this moment, the Ice Lion Legion has only a little over 200 people and more than 200 transcendent beings left. Chen Mo's followers brought from Great Snow Mountain serve as administrators, many of whom remain in their respective regions.

Along the way, roughly a hundred‑plus thousand transcendent beings and several hundred thousand humans have joined the Ice Lion Kingdom.

These newly joined transcendent beings and humans mostly stayed where they originally lived.

The grasslands, lakes, and various cities of Tansanila where transcendent beings dwell.

Because Da City is close to Great Snow Mountain, its spiritual energy density is high, spawning several high‑grade transcendent beasts, yet their strength is negligible before the Ice Lion Legion.

In just three short hours, the Ice Lion Legion completely seized control of the port city.

Chen Mo stood on a high ridge, overlooking the entire city.

He calmly addressed the Frost Crane Leader beside him:

"Frost Crane Leader, this city shall henceforth be called Frost Crane City, to be administered by the Frost Crane clan."

"From now on you only need to report to Great Snow Mountain once a week."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Frost Crane Leader seemed a bit excited.

Along the way, Ice Lion King has established a total of 42 cities.

Most are named after the Ice Lion clan and its dependents.

Now the Frost Crane clan finally has a city of its own! With this, the former territories of Tansanila have all become part of the Ice Lion Kingdom! Chen Mo's current forces and population no longer permit further expansion.

It's time to return.

If Sister Lion Aisha and the others also proceed smoothly, the Kenila region will be merged into the Ice Lion Kingdom's territory.

In that case, the Ice Lion Kingdom's territory could reach an astonishing 1.6 million square kilometers! Using the conversion 100 km² = 1 unit of liquid spiritual energy, the Lord Lion's boost would be 16,000 units of liquid spiritual energy!!

Know that the minimum threshold for a high‑grade lord is only 501 units of liquid spiritual energy! 16,000 units are enough to elevate it to the King's Realm, even the middle‑tier King's Realm! Chen Mo is already eagerly anticipating that day.

He glanced at the self‑discipline panel; today is the 50th day of the Lord Lion Self‑discipline Challenge.

In a little over a month, he will experience a qualitative leap in power!

To safely complete the Lord Lion Self‑discipline Challenge during the expansion war, Chen Mo deliberately left a few zones not far from Great Snow Mountain; a daily patrol suffices to complete them easily.

Before departing, Chen Mo suddenly recalled a tentacled monster in the Indian Ocean capable of easily killing a lord‑level being, now moving toward the African continent with its own followers.

Although their chance of landing ashore is extremely low, we should still prepare in advance.

Next to Frost Crane City lies the Indian Ocean; if sea beasts invade, we should be able to detect them early here.

Then he again instructed the Frost Crane leader: "Frost Crane leader, from now on you shall patrol the nearby coastline every day; if you see a large‑scale invasion of marine supernatural beings, immediately come to the Snow Mountain Secret Realm to report to me."

"Your Majesty, the Frost Crane clan guarantees to complete the mission!"

The Frost Crane leader let out a resonant crane cry.

On the way back, Chen Mo passed the first "liberated" city, Arusha.

He saw the survivors who had joined the Ice Lion Kingdom, with the help of supernatural beings, begin post‑disaster reconstruction work.

Pastures and farms have been established.

Compared to the earlier ruins, this city has begun to regain vitality.

More importantly——

Whether human or supernatural being, their eyes are filled with hope.

The humans or supernatural beings working in the pastures and farms, upon seeing the passing Ice Lion Queen, all knelt down in worship, showing respect and gratitude.

Their current peaceful life is all thanks to the Ice Lion King! Thanks to big spender Li Yixian for the 473‑point tip~ All adoptive fathers, please keep reading!
