Chapter 625 I Want Both

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "I want both of them, is there any way to do that?"

Lin Feng's soul within the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword said, "That would require ten times the resources."

The amount of cold iron, dark silver, demonic energy, blood energy, and soul energy must be ten times that required, and it also requires absorbing three Grandmasters with three levels of blood.

"We absorbed one last time, so we still need two more."

"If we strengthen one direction first, can we then strengthen another direction later?"

"It's no use, we can only go down this path to the bitter end."

"That means there's no other choice."

Ten times it is fine, we'll figure out a way to do it.

These resources are all available; it's just a matter of time.

Even without upgrading for now, it's sufficient.

Lin Feng returned to Ironblood City and first gave his teacher twenty intermediate-level magic crystals to help him break through to the second-level Blood Grandmaster level.

After the teacher broke through, the range of his mental power reached thirty meters.

Today, the teacher contacted the underground chamber of commerce in Ironblood City.

The underground guild plans to launch a black market in Ironblood City.

The teacher can now stay in Ironblood City permanently and won't need to return to Red Rain City anymore.

During the day, another 30,000 people poured into Ironblood City.

Ironblood City has become a peripheral city with a population of over 400,000.

Most outlying cities are about this size.

However, Ironblood City has a large building area, enough to accommodate four to five million people.

Even if the population increased tenfold, Ironblood City could accommodate it.

The Tyrannosaurus Hunter Team has been recruiting members recently.

Maintaining public order in the city requires more manpower.

The Tyrannosaurus Hunters wouldn't keep everyone in the city maintaining order; some would definitely have to go out hunting.

In the evening, Lin Feng, Zhang Xiaoyu, Amid, Aliya, and others held a small meeting at the city lord's mansion.

Amyra said, "A lot of refugees have poured into the city."

These migrants had families to support, no money to rent houses, and little wealth.

Let's discuss how to deal with these refugees.

Zhang Xiaoyu asked, "How were other cities handled this?"

Amira said, "Other cities simply expel them. These refugees are of no benefit to the city and will only affect public order."

Amid said, "These refugees are so pitiful."

Their life's wealth may consist of the house in Starlight City.

These migrants all make a living by doing odd jobs.

They usually only have one room, and they can only earn enough for a day's food by doing odd jobs.

They were driven out of Starlight City and immediately became penniless.

Amira glared at Amid. "You pity them, but what about the security of Starlight City?"

These people were so hungry that they had no choice but to steal and rob.

Lin Feng said, "Then let's revitalize the economy through industrial development."

Aren't we supposed to reinforce the city walls?

It's perfect to hire them to do the work.

With the increase in the city's population, garbage also needs to be collected, and we can let them do that.

I still have quite a few houses that haven't been rented out yet, which I can rent to them at a low price.

The money they earned from their work was just enough to cover rent and food expenses.

Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

Amid's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea."

At least these refugees now have a way to survive.

We can draft an agreement and have them sign it.

They're practically peripheral members of our City Lord's Mansion.

Amira said, "What if some people just don't do any work?"

Lin Feng said, "Then there's nothing we can do but ask people like this to leave Ironblood City."

However, 99% of the people will stay and work hard.

After discussing the matter, the group handed it over to their subordinates, who then began to carry it out.

By the third watch of the night, many people had fallen asleep.

Sobbing and whimpering.

Suddenly, the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling came from outside the city.

The entire city was awakened.

They were all too familiar with that sound.

This is the howling of a ghost.

The people all lit their lamps, got up, and went out into the streets.

"Is the Ghost going to attack Ironblood City?"

"After fleeing from Starlight City to Ironblood City, Ghost actually followed."

"They're going to fight the ghosts to the death, leaving us no way out at all."

"What are we going to fight with? We can't even hurt the ghosts."

Lin Feng, who was feeding the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword with ten-thousand-year-old cold iron in the room, heard the sound and immediately rode his flying dragon into the sky.

Zhang Xiaoyu and Mr. Hong also rode flying dragons into the sky to observe the situation.

Suddenly, countless ghosts appeared on the east side of Ironblood City.

The army of ghosts is large, numbering around 500,000.

Zhang Xiaoyu cursed, "Why are these ghosts not staying in Starlight City? What are they doing in our Ironblood City?"

If the ghosts were to attack the city, the people inside would surely suffer heavy casualties.

Ironblood City will be reduced to its original state once again.

Lin Feng drew the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword.

If the ghosts really attack the city, no one can stop them.

The only thing to do is take the opportunity to kill a wave of ghosts and improve your mental strength and the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword.

At the very front of the ghost army stood five silver ghosts.

One of the silver ghosts said, "That person is here, shall we go to another city?"

Another ghost asked, "Which one?"

Why change cities?

The silver ghost pointed to the sky, "That person, he's holding a demon sword."

"The Demon Sword is our nemesis. If you're not afraid to die, then attack the city."

After discussing their options, the five silver ghosts led their ghost army to turn around and head towards Star Mark City, another city of the Star Pavilion.

The area around Ironblood City immediately fell silent.

Many people had already packed their belongings and were preparing to flee, but the ghosts did not attack the city.

Zhang Xiaoyu was also somewhat bewildered, "What's going on?"

"Where did the ghost go?"

Lin Feng didn't know what was going on either.

Anyway, the night passed without any real danger.

The arrival of the ghost made Lin Feng feel the pressure.

We must upgrade the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword as soon as possible.

This allows the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword to use the Demon Sword Mark.

The Demon Sword Mark can damage ghosts.

By imprinting the weapons of ordinary warriors with the mark of the demonic sword, only then can those ordinary warriors harm the ghosts.

Ironblood City can only be defended if it is attacked by ghosts.

……

The following morning, the devastating news arrived.

Starmarked City, a peripheral city with a population of 400,000, was breached by ghosts last night.

Everyone in the city was slaughtered by the ghosts.

Starmarked City has become a gathering place for ghosts.

The souls of 400,000 people also turned into ghosts.

The number of ghosts has surged.

Starmark City was poorly defended, which is why it was easily breached.

The Star Pavilion has mobilized the guard forces from several surrounding cities in an attempt to retake Starlight City.

The guard force in Starmark City has been almost completely depleted.

Unexpectedly, the Ghosts launched a feint attack and then turned around to conquer Starmark City.

Lin Feng and the others felt a sense of relief upon receiving the news.

If the Wraiths had attacked Ironblood City last night, Ironblood City would likely have been doomed.

Amid felt a wave of fear wash over him.

"Wraiths are far more cunning than demons."

Their target was not Starlight City at all.

Starlight City is close to the main city of Star Pavilion, so Star Pavilion will definitely do everything in its power to take back Starlight City.

The Ghosts attacked Starlight City simply to draw all the power of the Star Pavilion to Starlight City.

Their real target is peripheral cities like Ironblood City.

I wonder why the Specters didn't attack Ironblood City last night?

I hope they never come to Ironblood City.

Lin Feng had a vague feeling that the fact that the Ghosts hadn't attacked the city was related to his Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword.

Last night, those ghosts seemed to have been watching me for a long time.

We still need to upgrade the Demon Spirit Blood-Drinking Sword as soon as possible.

Lin Feng stood up and said, "You handle the matters in the city."

I'll go clean up the demons around here.

With time running out, Lin Feng decided to venture deeper into the Demon Hunter Wilderness to kill more demons.
