Zhao Guang didn't care much and directly brought out a large amount of new plants and seeds.
After playing for a few days, Zhao Guang returned, finally relaxing properly.
However, Li Mulan's side began to get busy. There was no choice; these new crops were not ordinary items. Any one of them would have caused a sensation worldwide before.
Now they were all being introduced, so some of these plants might not seem noticeable when placed together.
But everyone knew their importance, so both researchers and staff began working overtime.
At the same time, after reporting to the superiors, many people were dispatched immediately. Quite a few older folks were silently cursing Zhao Guang, as many hadn't gone home for quite a while.
It's not that they didn't want to go back, but there was simply too much work, so even they could only have meetings and conduct studies every day.
Yet one couldn't blame anyone else; it was painful yet joyful at the same time.
Seeing the nation growing stronger, even surpassing the power of that country on the other side, they deeply felt joy and pride. Their country was once again standing at the peak of the world.
While Zhao Guang was relaxing here, a major event occurred once again in the Xuanwu Kingdom.
Before Zhao Guang left, the Sea Clan had already started gathering extensively towards the east of the Xuanwu Kingdom.
"So, have you investigated thoroughly?" In the ocean, a group of Naga gathered together.
Around them, a large number of male Naga and Fishmen surrounded them, not daring to make a sound.
One person below said, "We have investigated thoroughly, and indeed, the humans have improved that area. We just don't know how they did it, even the ubiquitous plagues have disappeared."
"I heard that the water system there is very developed; is this true?"
"Yes, we have secretly investigated, and the water system is very developed. If we go there, we can definitely rely on the water system to expand a large living area."
Indeed, the Sea Clan can not only survive in the ocean, most can survive in freshwater too.
But the freshwater level is too shallow and likely to dry up, which poses a considerable danger for them.
Moreover, there are many creatures on land that can survive in water, and it's not worth competing for that little territory with them.
But now it's different; most of the Xuanwu Kingdom's areas could be great places for their survival and reproduction after modifications by the Sea Clan. Also, there are vast lands for planting various crops.
Even though the Sea Clan can't practice fine agriculture, the plants grown would suffice to provide them with an abundance of food.
Paired with fish herds in the water, this branch of theirs can absolutely achieve significant growth.
Who knows, taking this opportunity, they might even become part of the Royal Family in the future.
Indeed, even among the Sea Clan, competition is not absent, just that their competition differs from that of land creatures.
"Since this is the case, let's start our plan. First, we must take down the Xuanwu Kingdom to seize this opportunity."
"By the way, how strong is the Xuanwu Kingdom really? Have you investigated thoroughly?"
They looked at each other silently. It was on land after all; while they could secretly gather some intelligence, detailed investigations were out of the question.
Even if there was a war breaking out in the north, it happened so quickly that they were unaware.
After a long silence, someone said, "Based on our previous intelligence, Xuanwu Territory has only one Legendary Strongman, which is their Lord. And the north was just modified; there shouldn't be other hidden strongmen."
"What about the Temple, has it been stationed there?"
Apparently, even the Sea Clan was very wary of the Temple; they knew of the Temple's power.
In fact, the Sea Clan has its own Divine beliefs and its own Temple. Moreover, the Sea Clan's Temple doesn't get along with the Temple on land because of their differences.
Because of their beliefs, their Divine relationships are not very amicable either.
"It's said that they are very averse to the Temple, so it's hard for the Temple to be stationed there."
Their eyes lit up, especially the Queen seated in the main position, who felt relieved.
"Since there's no Temple stationed there, their power is not much of a threat. Thus, sending two Legendary warriors is enough to take that place."
Others immediately objected upon hearing this, "No, Your Majesty, you must not deploy yourself."
"Yes, Your Majesty, your personal safety relates to the life and death of our clan, you absolutely cannot be deployed."
This branch of theirs has only two Legendary warriors, one of whom is their Queen.
In the Naga Clan, the importance of the Queen far surpasses that of the King in the Human Empire. Unless it concerns life and death, they absolutely wouldn't let the Queen take action personally.
The Queen pressed her hands, "No need to get so excited, I never said I would act myself. The Mystic Armored Turtle has almost recovered from its wounds lately, though injured last time, we can still simply guide its actions."
"In the next battle, let the Mystic Armored Turtle lead, and let Oplo follow closely behind."
Even on land, with two Legendary warriors, no mere Legend would be a match for them.
This was initially intended for Duke Horace's Domain, but now there's a better target.
Upon hearing this, they fell silent. Oplo was not a strongman of the Naga, in fact, just a Fishman, but after modifications by the Queen, he became a Legendary Level warrior.
This kind of modification can only be done by the Queen, just like controlling the Mystic Armored Turtle.
This is one of the Queen's important roles. No matter how many Fishmen died, they didn't care, as long as a combat power of Legendary Level emerged, it was all worth it.
However, such modification is not easy, Oplo is one of the recently completed works.
"In that case, I will join this battle, I am willing to be the vanguard."
"Let me, I am better at melee combat."
People began to fight for the opportunity, knowing the immense benefit of this operation. Once accomplished, one's status would greatly rise, and future resources would be greatly supplemented.
If operated well, perhaps one could even ascend to a new Royal status, though still lower than the Royal Family.
