Soon, Baixi and Sui Liangfeng arrived at the border of winged man city, looking at the barren place in front of them. Baixi's brow furrowed slightly, "It's so poor here!"
"Yeah!" Sui Liangfeng nodded. "The hierarchical system keeps these winged men at the bottom forever. These commoners are not qualified to learn magic and writing. Their thoughts are only focused on working and laboring continuously in order to survive!"
"What should we do next?" Baixi turned and asked.
"I will gather all the residents of the border as the mayor and tell them about the existence of an ancient behemoth. I will promise to teach them magic, writing, and all kinds of knowledge if these border residents believe in you and respect you!" Sui Liangfeng said, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Hearing Sui Liangfeng's words, Baixi made a gesture of understanding and said, "I will wait for your signal outside the city. You arrange it quickly!"
Sui Liangfeng nodded, then turned and left. Baixi ran to the outside of the city and found a slightly concealed place to hide, quietly waiting for Sui Liangfeng's signal.
…
Sui Liangfeng's voice came out through the broadcast.
"Hello everyone! I am Mayor Sui Liangfeng. Please gather in the square, all residents."
As Sui Liangfeng's words fell, the square was filled with a dense crowd of residents. Most of them were wearing worn-out clothes, and some even had bare arms, their faces showing signs of exhaustion, clearly due to frequent labor.
After many residents gathered, Sui Liangfeng walked slowly towards the platform, stood in the center, and scanned the densely packed crowd below. He said, "Hello, everyone! My name is Sui Liangfeng, and I am your mayor! Today, I have gathered you all here because there is an opportunity that can change your destiny right in front of you. I hope that everyone can seize it."
"What opportunity?" someone couldn't help but ask from below.
"It is about the ancient behemoth!" Sui Liangfeng said, "A white ancient behemoth with unmatched power. She can easily destroy any city. As long as we are willing to believe in her, we can obtain her help and change our current impoverished lives. In the future, we will be equal, and our descendants will no longer be unable to learn writing and magic due to the hierarchical system! This opportunity is precious to each resident. I hope everyone can consider it seriously. If we miss this opportunity, we will continue to be content with the status quo and never be able to turn the tide!"
As soon as Sui Liangfeng's voice fell, a fierce discussion erupted below.
"Dad, I want to be able to have enough to eat every day," suddenly, a ten-year-old girl said, pulling on her father's dusty arm.
The man looked at his daughter's hopeful eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes. He suddenly shouted, "I believe that Mayor Sui can lead us to a life of full and hearty meals, so that our families can continue without being hindered by poverty."
Immediately, many residents responded, "We believe in Mayor!"
Sui Liangfeng looked at the crowd below, their eyes filled with hope and fervor. He raised his right hand and placed it on his chest. "I swear on my life that I will make sure everyone can have enough to eat."
As Sui Liangfeng's words fell, thunderous applause and cheers erupted immediately below.
"Please raise your right hand to your chest and pray for the arrival of the ancient behemoth!" Sui Liangfeng continued.
The crowd below once again raised their right hands to their chests and prayed devoutly.
Seeing this, Sui Liangfeng did not hesitate and took out a jade pendant, tossing it into the air. The jade pendant turned into a golden flame, gradually forming a huge symbol. "Great ancient behemoth, please descend and protect your people."
As Sui Liangfeng finished speaking, the symbol on the jade pendant disappeared instantly.
Outside the city, Baixi saw the jade pendant disappear and instantly transformed into a white dragon flying into the sky.
Following this, a deafening dragon's roar resounded, as if it could penetrate the sky, making people feel fearful.
A white dragon hovered in mid-air, exuding an oppressive feeling with its huge dragon head and scales.
The white scales shimmered with a clear and translucent brilliance, emanating a powerful pressure that made the surrounding people feel breathless.
The sky was filled with thunderclouds, with lightning snakes interweaving to create a daunting scene.
Sui Liangfeng kneeled down with one knee, placing his right hand over his heart, and said earnestly, "Great Lord White Dragon, I implore you to help us change our current lives, so that our descendants can live without hunger and no longer be oppressed."
The common winged men in the crowd looked at the sincere expression of the mayor and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. They all knelt towards the white dragon in the sky.
"Great Lord White Dragon, please help us!"
"Great Lord White Dragon, please save us from the calamity of starvation!"
As the crowd prayed, Baixi looked down at the densely packed residents below, and a hint of compassion appeared in its crimson dragon eyes.
"If you are willing to believe in me, I will help you solve the problem of hunger and teach you magic to free you from a life of poverty!" The voice of the white dragon resounded slowly, echoing throughout the city.
As the words of the white dragon fell, all the residents below cheered and rejoiced, even Sui Liangfeng showed a relieved smile.
"Soon, I will send my people here to help you overthrow the original hierarchical system and establish a new social order, allowing your descendants to live a happy and fulfilling life without the constraints of the hierarchy." The voice of the white dragon echoed again.
"May I ask, Lord White Dragon, what are the characteristics of your people, and how can we distinguish them?" Sui Liangfeng asked.
Baixi understood instantly and spoke slowly, "They are a group of warriors wearing black armor, led by a silver-haired girl who is my beloved disciple and possesses extremely powerful abilities."
Sui Liangfeng was momentarily stunned by these words, but he continued to play along with Baixi. "I understand, Lord White Dragon."
"In the endeavor to overthrow, do not overly assert yourselves. I hope that you will not disappoint my efforts." The voice of the white dragon became increasingly solemn.
After saying these words, the white dragon turned around and flew towards the clouds, disappearing from sight. The sky, filled with thunderclouds, gradually turned azure.
Watching the white dragon disappear into the clouds, the residents of the winged men were filled with emotions. For some reason, they had full trust and reliance on this white dragon, just like their own family.
"Fellow compatriots, our good days are coming." Sui Liangfeng said loudly.
As Sui Liangfeng's voice fell, there was another round of cheering from below.
"Please, everyone, be quiet. Now I announce that we can keep this matter to ourselves and there's no need for excessive celebration. Please also refrain from spreading the news. We will hold a grand ceremony when we implement the ranking system." Sui Liangfeng spoke again.
The people below nodded upon hearing these words.
"Good. Since there is no objection, then we can disperse and go about our own business." Sui Liangfeng waved his hand.
Upon hearing the instructions from Mayor Sui, the crowd dispersed.
As the people left, Sui Liangfeng smiled and thought to himself, "The border city will envelop the imperial city. Everything cherished by Yiqingtian will be destroyed by his own people."
It must be said that the princess of His Majesty is mischievous. If His Majesty knew that he became Baixi's disciple inexplicably, who knows what expression he would have.
...
The countries of Bimong, Incubus, Witch, and Insect each received a notice from the Winged Man Country. When they received the message, their faces turned gloomy.
"The Blood Clan can actually command ancient behemoths?"
"What is going on? How did they achieve this?"
This confusion lingered in the minds of the four Your Majesty, forcing them to take this matter seriously.
If it were a regular Blood Clan army, they would absolutely not pay any attention and would even hope for the Blood Clan and the Winged Man Clan to self-destruct, so they could just sit back and enjoy the show.
Not only could they nibble at the Winged Man Country's territory, but they could also claim a portion of the Divinity and Demon's Continent belonging to the Winged Man Country.
However, now that this Blood Clan army is able to command an ancient behemoth, this was something they hadn't anticipated. It made the four Your Majesty deeply worried.
After some contemplation, the four Your Majesty issued orders one after another, dispatching reconnaissance teams to investigate the border cities of the Winged Man Clan to see what had happened.
After all, it was the Winged Man Country who was being attacked by the Blood Clan, and it was the Winged Man who would suffer. It would be better to first assess the opponent's strength and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.
The four countries' Leaders were all thinking this way, so the alliance between the countries was not strong. They only shared a common goal, and if actual fighting broke out, they would definitely prioritize their own interests.
