Astral Cockroach

It was the third day since Chonglou and Leizhu had left.

Evening.

Banbu gathered his subordinates from the mountain to eat melons together.

Princess Daye arrived at Lizhu Peak.

Not only Princess Daye, but also 20 high-level warriors followed, and the flat ground in front of the cave was completely crowded, so they all stayed on the top of the mountain.

There should be a while before the land reclamation, right? What are they here for?

Princess Daye was enthusiastic and her spiritual sense was gentle, saying: "Banbu, eating melons? This is a small cantaloupe cultivated by the Wolf Spider tribe in the Western Regions, it is very famous."

"Yes, small cantaloupe." Banbu's heart trembled when he heard this, and he greeted: "Princess Daye, eat together."

Helpless, with pain in his heart, he ordered: "Datou, quickly send 4 small cantaloupes to the warriors of the same tribe on the mountain."

"4… Oh… Okay." Datou was also responsible for managing Banbu's finances, and gradually became stingy, feeling even more distressed.

Life has just gotten better! Why did such a large group of freeloading tribesmen suddenly come? And they came right on time.

"Princess Daye, is there anything I can help you with?" Banbu asked.

Princess Daye said: "The time for land reclamation can already be determined, it will be at the end of autumn, when the oil camellia flowers bloom."

Oil camellias bloom from mid-September to early October.

It is only August 5th now, counting the time, there are still forty or fifty days. The lifeblood plants in the territories of many warriors are in the peak harvest season, are they preparing for war so early?

Princess Daye picked up a piece of cantaloupe, and while gnawing on it, she introduced: "King Chijian Cockroach will personally participate in the war. Our Chilian tribe will gather 3,000 warriors to fully participate in the war. But we will not actively participate in the encirclement and suppression, but intercept the border and try our best to prevent beast warriors from fleeing south, and also minimize combat damage."

"It is certain that we will not be able to completely intercept them. The Iron Saber Mountains and Jinping Mountains will be severely affected. The Banyan Mountains and Red Tangerine Mountains will also be affected. Further away, the Sheep Hoof Mountains may also be affected. Therefore, these five mountain ranges of yours do not need to participate in the war."

"Chijian County will also send 3 mountain masters to be stationed at Lizhu Peak to help defend it. In addition, they will also send 10 high-level warriors to take turns to provide assistance on a monthly basis. Banbu, you should arrange accommodation for them first."

"Understood! Thank you!" Banbu was secretly delighted.

The permanent stationing of 3 mountain master-level warriors should be a force transferred from the Chijian Tree Sea. Only the existence of King Chijian Cockroach can spare such a strong combat force to come and help.

Princess Daye continued: "In addition, for the next two years, King Chijian Cockroach will enter the Iron Saber Mountains in the first winter, spending a winter searching for and hunting beast warriors. In the second year, he will enter your Jinping Mountains to help hunt down a group of rampant beast warriors as much as possible."

Banbu suddenly realized a problem and asked: "Princess Daye, the three mountain masters are permanently stationed at Lizhu Peak, do I still have to provide food? I mean, origin power food."

"No need." Princess Daye said: "Their territory will be managed by other warriors, and the output of the territory will be sent in time… Of course, you own four God-given Seeds, and you can appropriately express your gratitude with each year's harvest."

Free is good.

"No problem!" Banbu agreed readily and felt relieved.

He silently calculated in his mind, planning to give them 1,000 origin stones as salary each year. As for those high-level warriors who come to provide assistance on a rotating basis, each one will be given 10 origin stones, which should be about right, and enough to show his sincerity.

Banbu then asked: "Princess Daye, how many warriors will the Flying Fire Cockroach tribe send out?"

Princess Daye said: "Don't worry, King Chijian Cockroach just negotiated with King Changsheng Cockroach a few days ago, and the Flying Fire Cockroach tribe will gather 10,000 high-level warriors to participate in the war."

Banbu asked again: "How many years has Yomadi been abandoned?"

Princess Daye understood what Banbu wanted to ask, shook her antennae, and said solemnly: "Longer than the time King Changsheng Cockroach has existed. It was the last cycle of rise and fall that the Flying Fire Cockroach tribe went from prosperity to decline, the number of tribesmen was reduced, and they had to give up."

"The Flying Fire Cockroach tribe of that year was almost wiped out. King Changsheng Cockroach rose later, and under his management, the tribe re-prospered and grew, and our Chilian branch was also born."

Banbu said: "Yomadi has abundant origin power, it is easier to give birth to God-given Seeds, and it is also easier to give birth to powerful beast warriors, even forming ethnic groups, right?"

Princess Daye nodded her antennae and said: "Many beast ethnic groups have been formed. The locations of the most powerful ethnic groups have been confirmed, and there will be targeted raids and encirclements at that time."

Princess Daye was not optimistic.

Banbu was worried.

Encirclement and suppression in the jungle is difficult to eradicate completely, and those who slip through the net are all hidden dangers.

On second thought, Lizhu Peak will have three mountain masters permanently stationed to defend it, as well as 10 high-level warriors to assist in the defense, as well as the two major combat forces of Big Bear and himself. How much threat can those fish that slip through the net pose?

Princess Daye continued to introduce: "The only good news is that the Black and White Flower Cockroach tribe on the other side has reached an agreement with King Chijian Cockroach that neither side will harm the other, and they must not drive beast warriors to the other side of the Jinjiang River."

"…" Banbu said: "It's considered good news."

…

They chatted for a while about the land reclamation.

Princess Daye suddenly changed the subject and asked: "Banbu, I heard that King Chiwu Ghost specially sent a team of Ghost Grasshopper warriors to Lizhu Peak to exchange for bamboo species?"

Here it comes!

Banbu guessed that the oil camellia flowers were still early, and Princess Daye didn't need to come to notify him dozens of days in advance.

As expected, she had other requests.

Those 20 high-level warriors who came with her all came with origin stones.

"That's right, they exchanged for two special bamboo species, Golden Thread Bamboo and Colorful Bitter Bamboo."

"You cultivate Emerald Bamboo and Rain Bamboo, and you can earn tens of thousands of origin stones every year by selling bamboo species, and it's a long-term business. This exchange price cannot be low, right?"

"Yes, 400,000 origin stones. In addition, there is a bamboo species that can bloom and bear seeds every year. They also promised to give a large number of seeds of rare bamboo species in the future."

"400,000 origin stones! Chiwu Mountain is indeed the richest ancient county in the Southwest Region." Princess Daye sighed, a little embarrassed:

"Banbu, you should know that the God-given Seed of the Chijian Tree is currently in a period of qualitative change and growth, and natural origin power is difficult to meet the demand, so origin stones must be continuously invested."

"You know the current situation of Chijian County better. The reserve of origin stones has long been exhausted, and all that can be borrowed has been borrowed… Banbu, can you take out some more to subsidize King Chijian Cockroach?"

Having borrowed too much, Princess Daye had experience and guaranteed: "Banbu, don't worry, starting from next year, the Chijian fruits produced by the God-given Seed of the Chijian Tree will be of standard top-grade quality, and the output will be greatly increased."

"King Chijian Cockroach's annual income will increase greatly, and the origin stones he owes will be paid off soon."

Banbu had already calculated the accounts for them clearly. King Chijian Cockroach is now the "richest negative" of the cockroach clan. The origin stones he owes will not be paid off in 10 years.

However, the princess has a lifespan of 500 years, and the cockroach king has a lifespan of 1,000 years. The origin stones owed by King Chijian Cockroach are mainly used to buy longevity peaches, and longevity peaches can also extend life by 100 years. Although he owes a lot of debt, he has nearly 600 years of life, so it's a blood profit no matter how you calculate it.

Thinking about it again, it's not good. If he advances to cockroach king in the future, he will also have to borrow money everywhere.

The future is long, let's borrow it.

Banbu asked: "Princess Daye, how many origin stones are still needed?"

Princess Daye said: "It's best if 400,000 can be borrowed."

"This…" Banbu almost choked to death with one sentence, and explained: "The Chonglou caravan arrived with the Ghost Grasshopper tribe's team. I got the origin stones and spent them right away."

Princess Daye asked: "Then how much is left now?"

Banbu truthfully said: "300,000. I plan to speed up growth and reserve at least 200,000 origin stones for backup."

Princess Daye fanned her pulse wings and said: "Borrow all 300,000 origin stones. I will ask King Chijian Cockroach to give priority to repaying the origin stones owed to you."

Give priority to repayment? The origin stones borrowed from the Flying Fire Cockroach tribe must be repaid first, right?

"…" Banbu thought for a while and said: "Okay, if the origin stones are not enough, use Chijian fruits to offset the debt."
