Chapter 1057: The Yasi City-State Attacks (First update, requesting everything)

Three days flashed by; in just three short days, Li Zhangsheng had digested the chaotic memories of the Drow Elf City Lord.

Memories are just memories; the most useful parts of the Drow Elf City Lord's memories were nothing more than the "Nightmare Cultivation Method," various languages, and knowledge of the Dawn World. The rest was of no use to him and was directly ignored, which is why he finished digesting them so quickly.

Looking at the memories of the King of Hundred Victories, aside from eating, drinking, excreting, and sleeping, most of them were useful to him. Many were quite profound or even obscure and difficult to understand, requiring a large amount of time to digest before they could slowly be transformed into nourishment for his own growth.

Li Zhangsheng had already learned the several languages popular in the Underdark: Drow Elvish, Dwarvish, Draconic, and the Common Tongue.

Among them, Drow Elvish is a branch of Elvish.

There is no need to mention Dwarvish; the Gray Dwarf race of the Underdark speaks Dwarvish.

There is no difference between the Draconic of the Dawn World and the Draconic of the Fairy World. One has to say that dragons are truly Heavenly Pets; their long lifespans and the Dragon Clan inheritance alone are enough to make the vast majority of races envious and jealous.

Of course, Divine Beasts are the exception.

As for the Common Tongue, it is the standard language for humans in the Surface World, though it is rarely used in the Underdark.

There is no help for it; the environment of the Underdark is harsh, and very few humans set foot there.

After learning these four languages, Li Zhangsheng copied them into an Inheritance Jade Slip and gave it to Ning Bizhen to study.

It must be said that the Inheritance Jade Slips of the Fairy World are quite convenient in many situations.

Originally, Li Zhangsheng wanted to continue his seclusion, preferably for two or three months, until the Abyss Consciousness sealed and purified by the Gate of Light and Darkness—which was empowered by the Blessing Necklace—was dealt with.

At that time, he would open the Plane Teleportation Array, secretly return to the Fairy World, head to the Sky Fortress to devour enough Abyss Consciousness, and then return to the Dawn World to continue his seclusion, ideally until the next Heavenly Dao Secret Realm opened.

This was his preliminary plan, but plans often cannot keep up with changes.

Li Zhangsheng had conquered Helan Town of the Yasi City-State; how could the Yasi City-State not take action after receiving the news?

Although power in the city-state is dispersed, Helan Town happens to be located on the most important trade route between the Yasi City-State and another city-state, so its importance to the Yasi City-State is self-evident.

Resources in the Underdark are scattered, causing every city-state and nation here to lack some important resources, especially supplies like salt, sugar, and iron.

The Yasi City-State has no salt mines, and the trade route where Helan Town is located mainly provides table salt to the Yasi City-State. If Helan Town is not retaken, the Yasi City-State will lack salt, and the consequences will be very serious.

Some might say to use a Teleportation Array, but city-states are not of one mind, so a Teleportation Array is almost out of the question. Furthermore, the spatial items in this world are not perfect, and their capacity is far from that of the Fairy World. If one were to rely solely on manual labor to transport goods back and forth, the cost would outweigh the gains.

Thus, upon receiving the news, the Yasi City-State immediately wanted to retake Helan Town.

The leaders of the Yasi City-State did not know of the existence of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen. They learned from the Drow Elves who escaped from Helan Town that it was two dragons suspected to be of the Legendary realm that had occupied Helan Town.

Different worlds naturally have differences in the names of realms.

In the Dawn World, Demon King-level Spirit Beasts are equivalent to the Legendary realm.

However, just like in the Main Material Plane, the gap between one Legendary and another in the Dawn World is immense. The most powerful Legendaries can even rival gods; the most representative figure is that certain mage who harmed the first-generation Goddess of Magic.

Whether it was the first, second, or third-generation Goddess of Magic, they were all gods with Greater Divine Power. Although the first-generation Goddess of Magic died to save the Magic Net, one can infer the power of that mage from the side.

Well, that mage also paid a heavy price for his arrogance. His self-created God-Making Art was, in a sense, a success, but he himself was blown apart by the massive energy of the Magic Net.

Upon learning that these were two sixty-meter-long dragons, the leaders of the Yasi City-State roughly estimated their strength and finally dispatched a large army to encircle and suppress the Legendary dragons.

These troops were led by two Legendaries and carried quite a few Dragon-Slaying Weapons.

Even among Legendaries, thanks to the Dragon Clan inheritance and their sturdy dragon bodies, the individual strength of dragons can be said to far exceed that of ordinary Legendary Powerhouses, often easily achieving one-versus-two.

It is not that the Yasi City-State did not want to send more Legendaries; it is truly a case of "a clever housewife cannot cook without rice." The entire Yasi City-State has only three Legendaries in total, and one must guard the capital, so sending two was already the limit.

Here, one must mention the gap between the Dawn World and the Fairy World: the top combat power of the Yasi City-State combined is not even as good as one Top-tier Pseudo-King, provided that the Legendary Powerhouses of the Yasi City-State are all ordinary Legendaries. If there were powerful Legendaries, that would be another matter.

Due to the lack of top-tier combat power, the goal of the Yasi City-State was not to kill the two Legendary dragons, but mainly to drive them away, preferably to a neighboring city-state.

Their calculations were very clever, but unfortunately, they had miscalculated the opponent's strength from the very beginning.

The two Legendary dragons in their eyes were merely used by Li Zhangsheng as lackeys. The fate of the army they sent is self-evident; it can only be described as a crushing defeat.

In just three days, the Yasi City-State's army arrived on the outskirts of Helan Town.

Before they arrived, Li Zhangsheng had already sensed them and used the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique to observe them, especially the two Legendary Powerhouses leading the team.

These were two Legendary Bloodline Warriors, one wielding a sword and shield, the other an axe, looking quite powerful and muscular.

Yet, when Li Zhangsheng observed them, they failed to notice it at all.

If they were powerful Legendary Powerhouses, they would have sensed it to some degree, but they had no reaction. From this, Li Zhangsheng roughly estimated that these were two ordinary Legendary Powerhouses.

To Li Zhangsheng, how was this any different from throwing their lives away?

Ning Bizhen also saw the situation clearly and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Zhangsheng, after crushing this army, I think we can take advantage of the situation to occupy the Yasi City-State."

"Let's do as you say."

Li Zhangsheng nodded in agreement. Every world will always have some specific resources, and the Dawn World is naturally no exception. If these resources were transported to the Fairy World, it would definitely be a highly profitable venture.

Besides that, he could also seize Spirit Beasts that met his requirements.

If he did not control the Yasi City-State, it might continue to bring trouble in the future. The Yasi City-State might unite with nearby city-states or pay a high price to hire powerful Legendary Powerhouses to cause him trouble. He wanted to nip the threat in the bud.
