Chapter 1207: Chapter 1207
Du You knew that Elsa could never harbor any ambition, they understood this girl’s nature all too well. Orıginal content can be found at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
Now that Elsa had proposed to establish a kingdom, it could only mean that some people, always taking advantage of their superior status, had been making Elsa extremely irritated. If it weren’t for Elsa’s strength and the power of her followers, heaven knows what trouble they could have caused.
While it’s true that absolute power is absolute right, in the face of strength everything else seems trivial. However, when absolute power fails to be effective, some conspiratorial tactics can become very annoying.
However, those like Elsa who directly chose to sever all ties and establish their own kingdom were indeed rare.
"Very good, whatever you want to do, we will support you," Du You nodded slightly.
"That’s great, I just knew big brother you were the best," Elsa rubbed against Du You, causing a flame to rise within him. As a Fox Person, she matured faster than humans.
Now, Elsa had already taken on the appearance of a young girl. She had all the attributes, and this kind of intimacy was really too much to bear. Du You quickly pushed Elsa away to calm his feelings.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Establishing a kingdom isn’t easy. To proceed smoothly, we must have many prerequisites. We need to discuss this matter with Shaliya and the others." It wasn’t just Shaliya, but also the back-end team, as there were too many considerations, something that couldn’t be handled well by just one or two people.
Elsa nodded slightly, "Then let’s start researching as soon as possible." A hint of a smile and a touch of shyness flashed in her eyes.
The idea of establishing a kingdom was something that had only just arisen in the past few days. Now with Du You’s support, Elsa of course feared nothing. Perhaps in Elsa’s mind, things like territories and kingdoms were unimportant, even worth disregarding.
If something really upset her, Elsa could simply run away on her own. As long as Du You still needed her, she couldn’t care less about the other clan members.
Du You had no idea what Elsa was thinking. Taking advantage of the times when Shaliya was free, they used communication tools to get in touch, holding meetings and occasionally contacting each other to confirm all the policies.
Then, Du You and the two sisters took turns caring for Elsa, while most of the time they were in their territories refining their skills.
Unbeknownst to them, Holy Fox City and the Fox People Clan were undergoing significant changes. The Beastmen usually focused only on martial power, seldom paying attention to anything else.
With Elsa’s methods, deliberately exposing various aspects of martial power and occasionally organizing military exercises, not only did the Fox People enjoy this, other Beastmen also very much liked it.
Out of sight of the other Beastmen, various forces within the Fox People began to improve.
Homes and city walls were slowly being constructed, and various farms and breeding grounds were established. Unwittingly, the way of life of the Fox People had massively transformed, moving away from the previous pattern of subsisting on hunting.
With farming and animal husbandry as the mainstays, they could now support themselves. In secret, a large amount of food was being stored, and reserves were gradually increasing, all without the other Beastmen noticing, as the changes were happening behind the scenes.
Several branches of the armed forces began to take shape slowly; some close combat Magical Beasts were also slowly being tamed and sent among the various clans. Unknowingly, the Fox People Clan’s weaknesses were being compensated for and even gradually became their strengths.
Moreover, the iron weapons that were scarce among the Beastmen were secretly transported from Shenghai Kingdom to the Fox People, secretly stored all around and ready to be issued to the Fox People Warriors at any moment.
Some craftspeople had appeared among the Fox People, and while the craftspeople from other branches might have been lacking in skill, they could manage peripheral tasks without issues. When necessary, White Fox craftspeople would take direct action, their capabilities truly exceeding those on the human side. The internal strength of the Fox People began to grow steadily.
And without the Beastmen noticing, the Fox People had already completely mapped out their territory.
The Beastmen didn’t value this, but to establish a kingdom, it was absolutely critical.
Crucial locations and city fortifications had already begun construction. The outer Beastmen still thought this was the same as before, with quite a few cities already among the Fox People Clan, and a few more didn’t seem to matter.
But the Fox People were not to be underestimated. In order to conceal their actions, Elsa had her subordinates go out to bribe and court the spies from other Beastmen clans, disguising some information.
Those poor Beastmen informants had no idea how important the messages they were hiding were.
And the Divine Flame Empire, which bordered the Fox People’s territory, was completely unaware of the great changes happening. To the eyes of the people of the Divine Flame Empire, the Beastmen had been the same for thousands of years, without any changes.
Even if some changes occurred on the borders, it was seen as merely an increase in merchants, and the border nobility, benefitting from this, wouldn’t care what was actually happening. The majority of nobles even saw this as a positive development.
At the same time, internal propaganda gradually caught up, and the mentality of the Fox People from top to bottom began to change.
All of this was done subtly and quietly over several months. In this process, the skills of Du You and the two sisters were almost completely refined.
Meanwhile, the two territories had amassed a significant military force. If it weren’t for the lack of Tier 6 powerhouses, Du You was now confident that their military force was no way inferior to that of the Divine Flame Empire. In actual combat, it was uncertain who would triumph.
Seeing that all the preparations for nation-building were in place, there wasn’t time to consider other details. They could establish the kingdom at any moment, and by then, not to mention other Beastmen kingdoms, even the neighboring Divine Flame Empire wouldn’t be able to oppose it. Moreover, with the White Fox Clan having assimilated the large forest behind them, their territory was certainly not small.
Through long-term cultivation, even the White Fox citizens had gained substantial strength. The fastest among them had even reached Tier 3. This was combat power not even counted within the military force.
There were also the Griffins they had bred, which, although not as formidable as those directly created by Du You, had the advantage in numbers. Together with those transported from the Sea Kingdom, these Griffins could form a powerful air force.
With Du You’s help, the White Fox Clan had also established a navy. Perhaps it wasn’t as professional, but it was still much more powerful than most navies in the world.
