Odysseus was quite depressed. He originally thought that he was quite capable in fighting. He wanted to team up with Mu Hua to hunt demons and pursue the passion that had been gone for many years.

But as Mu Hua moved a bunch of monsters out of his house, is it possible that we are really old?

"I don't believe it!" Odysseus complained angrily, not knowing whether he was refuting Mu Hua's praise for his family members or denying his outdated ideas.

"Old man, are you being cute? Believe it or not, I'm going to release them soon anyway. If you come, I'll count you as one, otherwise just focus on your strategy group." Mu Hua shook his wine glass and said indifferently.

"Aho-Man... Can Friday only do some communication support?" Looking at Friday standing behind Mu Hua, Odysseus hadn't even uttered the name "Aho-Man King" before Friday glared at him and he changed his name.

"Well, she still lacks the ability to stand on her own for the time being." Mu Hua nodded. A look of dissatisfaction flashed across Friday's face, but he did not refute.

Odysseus is very familiar with Friday, or to be more precise, among Mu Hua's subordinates, Odysseus is most familiar with Friday.

As for the reason, it was nothing more than that Tamara wanted to hook up with Mu Hua, but suddenly an evil dragon appeared under Mu Hua's command, so Tamara went to find trouble with Friday, and they ended up fighting several times. After Tamara was beaten several times by Friday, the two evil dragons inexplicably started playing together.

Tamara even wanted to form a dragon rider CP with Friday, and let Odysseus get a random mount to ride first.

Mu Hua would give his subordinates some weird nicknames, such as Cannon Girl, Style Sister, King of Ahoka, Year of Legs, Married Woman Aoi and so on.

Because he was dissatisfied with his own dragon being seduced by Friday, Odysseus thought that the name of Sarcastic King was very suitable for Friday, who always had a tuft of hair sticking up on his head. He often called Friday by Sarcastic King's nickname behind his back, but it seemed that Friday didn't like it.

As a dragon who could fight Tamara on equal terms, Odysseus originally thought that Friday could be considered the trump card in Mu Hua's hand, but now Friday can only be a messenger, which makes Odysseus feel that his own combat power has been seriously denied.

"I don't see anything special about Tina. Okay, okay, when are you going to pull out those 'monsters' for me to see?" Seeing that Mu Hua didn't seem to be talking nonsense, Odysseus still had some doubts.

"Wait a bit. When we have to attack the Caines Courtyard, they will naturally move out."

"The only thing I'm worried about now is the backlash from other forces in the courtyard. Not to mention the situation of being dragged down, the population of the courtyard is also a big problem." Mu Hua frowned.

If there are only a few thousand people in a courtyard with hundreds of millions of square kilometers of land, what is the concept? What kind of livable development can we talk about?

"Fuhuo and Disaster Annihilation shouldn't be a drag, but they might want territory. And, if they find the mineral vein, they probably won't give it up easily."

"The Jade Cang Court has roots elsewhere. If there are not enough benefits, they may withdraw from this courtyard."

"The garrison regiment does not need to worry. In order to ensure that they retain a certain voice in the courtyard, even if someone in the courtyard establishes a country, the empire will still retain the garrison regiment's stationing structure. At most, it will just reduce the number of people." Odysseus looked serious and analyzed in detail.

"As for the overall population, the Courtyard of Caines is still too unstable. The Empire cannot arrange immigration at this stage. Your city of Caines is either full of ghosts or monsters. You can't count on it." Glancing at the waiters in the bar, Odysseus teased.

"The majority of the population is still adventurers. It depends on how you make concessions."

"If there is no cooperation from other brigades, we still have to invest some money. Even if we have the ability to wrestle monsters, without benefits, those adventurers will not cheer for us in an unstable courtyard."

Odysseus threw the question to Mu Hua, and his words actually stood on the same side as Mu Hua.

"Let's advance into the safe zone. I asked the logistics team to do some investigations and calculations." Odysseus was waiting for Mu Hua to make a decision. When his deskmate Taibesha spoke, she put a map of the courtyard on the table.

"Use the fortress city as the starting point, clear out the monsters, set up the barrier, and push the safe zone northward by 100 to 200 kilometers."

"Most adventurers don't have such big ambitions, especially those who hold the right to explore. They can't take care of too much land."

"There is enough land for them to safely engage in planting and breeding, and we can provide them with some convenient channels for selling raw materials. We also have some good hunting spots. Demon hunting can also be a form of emergency income for them."

"We can set up a few more production and processing factories in Cairns City or the courtyard, and we can also put the development rights originally held by the town residents up for sale."

"As long as there is a large enough safe zone and some experience in planting and breeding, especially if we have tree herders who can communicate, we can stabilize the original adventurers while attracting some adventurers who want to develop."

"In the early stage, as long as we take precautions against competition and monopoly and ensure that ordinary adventurers can make a stable living and earn a profit, they will definitely have to find a way to recruit the manpower needed for production and operation." "Two years, give them a year to wait and see. After they improve their infrastructure in the second year, it is estimated that things will stabilize."

"It won't be easy to withdraw then. If there's no unrest, the population will continue to grow." Tabitha drew a boundary on the map and spoke in detail while Athena leaned over.

"With the help of summoned beasts, the one thousand ghosts of the Black Crow Knights can be divided into teams of more than a hundred people. In addition to the corpse demon carriers, they can be considered summoners, right?"

"As long as no elite high-level monsters appear, we should be able to handle it, but patrolling the entire territory will be a bit difficult." Athena, who was beside Mu Hua, frowned and spoke.

The entire territory has been extended to a 200-kilometer safety zone. Even if we don't count the burial ground in Death Canyon, it also includes the Snow Ridge Ranch, the Goblin Kingdom, and the Mechanical Forest. The scope is very large.

The Black Crow Knights have less than a hundred knights, and the so-called one thousand summoners are granted knight guardian spirits of summoned beasts. Those summoned beasts include Mu Hua's and Thursday's monsters.

Although except for Clark and Athena, the combat power of the entire Black Crow Knights is relatively normal for the time being, but because there are some good summoned beasts hidden, the Black Crow Knights also have a certain degree of aggressiveness.

"Well, the Black Crow Knights will be responsible for patrolling the safe zone in the future. Anyway, the safe zone cannot be built in a short time." Mu Hua said casually as if he didn't mean it. Athena nodded in agreement without saying anything more.

Whether it is the Dandelion Demon Hunters or the Black Crow Knights, they are all closely connected with Mu Hua. Even if they seem to be just playing a supporting role now, they are actually responsible for the external events that Mu Hua needs to deal with.

There is nothing much to say about the Dandelions led by Tabitha. They are a pure group of friends and relatives, and the main combat members have already arrived at the Abyss Island.

They sweep the Pangard Crater during the day and fish for abyss monsters at night. They use physical crystals quite frequently. People outside have long teased them as the "cleaver team". On the one hand, it is said that they have been bullying weaklings for a long time, and on the other hand, they are really good at chopping people.

The Black Crow Knights have also been authorized to land on the island today, and will certainly see rapid improvements afterwards. While it is difficult to evolve a giant dragon, all it takes is the Philosopher's Stone to evolve an evil dragon.

Mu Hua originally positioned the Black Crow Knights as dragon riders, and the corpse demons distributed by the ghosts are also not weak. Although he has not said it for the time being, he will equip those team leaders who lead the ghosts with some evil dragons, so it should be quite stable to patrol the safe zone.

Although the safe zone should nominally be guarded by the garrison regiment, and if the safe zone is really swept out, it is estimated that the garrison regiment will also actively take over and take responsibility.

However, things are different now. Mu Hua is no longer the idle person in society. If he wants to gain power in the Kanes Courtyard, he has to shoulder some responsibilities.

Responsibility is also linked to power. Responsibility without power is nonsense, but those responsibilities cannot be given up.

The duty of protection and guarding is not something that anyone can accept, and if you accept his protection, then... Haha, the wording may be different, but in essence, "protection fees" must be paid, which is an eternal truth.

"Alice can come up with a plan for the procurement of raw materials. Without affecting the living atmosphere of Caines City, the city should be able to encourage about a thousand beast masters to frequently visit the low-risk areas in the courtyard. This should be of some help in advancing the safe zone."

"But the repurchase of spoils, equipment, and magic items should keep up. With easy profits, citizens will be more enthusiastic about hunting demons in the courtyard."

"If it's appropriate in the future, we can introduce more powerful monsters to the familiar market. It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher." Meiling planned to speak after Athena.

"Don't worry about the safety of Cairns City. I will deal with any hidden dangers. If I can't handle them, I will notify you in time." Shiki said.

The so-called beast masters are the citizens who have purchased familiars. The strengths of those familiars vary, but after all, they were specially abducted by Mu Hua. Except for some Abaron beasts that are regarded as mascots, he would not bother to abduct beasts that are too weak.

Even the weakest of those familiars can fight with the wolf. Several monster familiars gather together, carry some guns and weapons, and run to the low-risk area in the courtyard. It is basically no different from hunting and having a picnic.

Call it bloodiness or brutality, maybe some people don't like life-and-death fights, but with a little training, humans are still quite keen on hunting.

Hunting monsters and releasing the wildness of familiars, once those urban white-collar workers get used to it, it may be necessary to impose some prohibitions on them, otherwise they may go to more dangerous places for adventure.

Compared with Dandelion and Black Crow, Meiling and the others are mainly responsible for internal affairs, whether it is economy, intelligence, or even overt and covert security deployment. These Terra ladies under Mu Hua are temporarily in charge of all affairs in the city of Caines.

Of course, it is precisely because of these internal affairs and public security that Mu Hua's combat power is a little tight. (End of this chapter)
