Chapter 1492: Driving the Savages Back to Huaxia

The speed of the chapter was very fast; they stayed for only one night, and the next day they directly took the people and left, leaving behind some cattle and sheep, and also taking away some of the Western Development Group's grain. Otherwise, with so many of them, food would be a major problem. Those savages ate only a little bit of thin porridge every day to maintain their vital signs; it wouldn't let them starve to death, but they didn't have much strength.

The women were treated slightly better and could eat a little more because they still needed to herd and drive the cattle and sheep; they had to work. One Tribal Chief was tied up separately and tethered with the cattle; he was the most miserable one. At this time, all the savages of the Wulengebu dared not pay much attention to their own Tribal Chief, for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.

Because it was considered that there was no one in Huaxia City who could serve as a translator, a herdsman and a Wujian were borrowed from the Western Development Group to serve as translators after they arrived in Huaxia.

For the herdsman, this trip back to Huaxia came with many subsidies because it counted as a business trip, and he could also broaden his horizons. After all, they had all seen the prosperity of Huaxia City, but unfortunately, they had only taken a simple look and never stayed long. The dwellings of the gods they saw in their dreams were all like Huaxia City. Going to Huaxia City this time would be capital for him to brag about for a long time.

Most importantly, going this time meant he could see the King of Huaxia. From their Regimental Commander and the highly respected Wuzhong, they often heard how powerful the King of Huaxia was, what a legendary figure he was, and that he was the son of the gods. Seeing him was equivalent to seeing the gods; this was a supreme honor.

If he performed well, he might even receive an award from the King, and soaring to great heights from then on was not impossible. After all, Huaxia placed relatively high importance on people who could speak two languages. Previously, there was no communication with the Wulengebu, so they didn't care, but now that they were going to attack the Wulengebu, the usefulness of people like them was reflected, and they would also play an important role in domesticating the savages of the Wulengebu in the future.

This time, it depended on his own performance. If he succeeded, he might lead all the herdsmen of the Western Development Group who could speak the Wulengebu language to success. He had fought for this opportunity himself, after all, he was not the only such person.

The Wujian only knew that if he successfully completed the mission this time, he would be the greatest leader of all the Wulengebu Slaves. He could manage all the Wulengebu Slaves and have a higher status than others who were also Wujian. This was enough to make him satisfied and happy; as for other things, he didn't even bother to think about them.

However, walking on the hard, flat road made him feel a bit flustered and extremely shocked in his heart, because this road was built by human hands. But, for such a massive project, how many people would it take to build it? How wealthy must a tribe be to be able to construct it?

He had thought that the Western Development Group was already wealthy enough. Although there were few people, the houses they lived in were extremely luxurious, unlike anything he had seen before, and there was no shortage of food. Now looking at it this way, it seemed that the true Huaxia's level of wealth was beyond his imagination.

On the way back, there were no accidents. Occasional attacks by wild beasts were easily resolved by this fully armed troop. The beasts thought they were just a large group of herbivores, but it turned out they were terrifying upright apes. Before they could even get close, their lungs had already been pierced by arrows, and the predator became a piece of meat.

When the dirt road turned into a solid stone road, it was the beginning of these savages' shock. The infrastructure expansion of Lema City to the outside had also begun, and several main roads outside Lema City had also been hardened for a short distance; this was to lay the foundation for future development.

By the side of the road were already stretches of farmland, and one could see rows of houses; the prototype of a village had already appeared, and it was very close to Lema City.

When the villagers of these villages saw so many cattle and sheep, they couldn't help but curiously gather around, and they also discovered those completely unfamiliar savages. They were not afraid of the Huaxia army because the Huaxia army had always upheld the philosophy of serving the people and fighting.

First, they served the country and obeyed Baifeng, but Baifeng also taught them that every one of them, apart from their identity as a soldier, was also a Huaxia person. When they encountered ordinary Huaxia people in difficulty, they needed to help. Toward the masses, they had to be gentle and not threaten or intimidate them.

If you help people in difficulty, you are a qualified Soldier. If you can save people, or even risk your life to save people, you are a very excellent Soldier, and Huaxia will reward you. Once, a Soldier encountered a child falling into the water and saved three people alone; he won a First Class Merit and was publicized and rewarded by the entire army and the whole country, being built into a model.

So now the people of Lema City were not afraid when they saw Soldiers; instead, they dared to gather around and look carefully, though the officers would also come forward to inform them that they were performing a mission and not to interfere.

They couldn't resist everyone's curiosity, so they also explained the general situation to them. Everyone also knew that the Huaxia army had gone on an expedition, won a great victory, wiped out a tribe, and seized so much wealth. Everyone was excited and thrilled, feeling that they had glory on their faces. This matter would also spread rapidly among the villages they passed.

The tall city walls of Lema City shocked these savages who had never seen the world, making them think for a moment that they had arrived at the place where the gods lived. Even the Shenhu where the Tribal Chief resided probably wasn't this grand and imposing, right? This was simply not something that humans could build. By comparison, they were truly savages.

After entering Lema City, the Slaves who had always walked with their heads down could not help but lift their heads to look at the surrounding situation. An extremely wealthy city, with all kinds of things they had never seen before, was displayed before their eyes one by one.

Because Huaxia opened up career choices last year, a new model appeared in Huaxia, which was commerce. This model learned from the State-run Store in Huaxia City. Because there was a template to learn from, it developed quite quickly. Baifeng was also happy to see these things appear; he did not stop them and let them develop.

The first things to appear were restaurants. Some people who thought they were relatively good at cooking specifically opened shops, but they opened them in their own homes because there were no commercial storefronts in the city. They had no place to use, so they made do in their own homes, which also worked.
