Chapter 900: Vol V Chapter 260
Sui Xiong was unaware of all the trouble plaguing Javier as he himself was busy.
After he had bidden farewell to Javier, who had failed in being a messenger and had left regretfully, Sui Xiong decided to do something big.
For starters, he wanted to move Rye Fortress, which he had recently completed, from its original spot in the south of Rye City to somewhere further south.
This fortress was originally meant to guard Rye Canyon, but this canyon had already joined the Republic, causing the fortress to lose its purpose. Sui Xiong thus decided to move it further south to kill two birds with one stone by allowing to become a topic of interest with its unique infrastructure while using it as a central building for refugees to use as a safe zone.
He was not too worried about the Republic of Northwest’s safety as the upcoming war between the humans and the orcs would mostly take place at the northeastern part of the mainland of the Orc Empire and the God of Light Kingdom. At the most, it would include the Eagle Kingdom’s fortress group in the North, but it would not affect any other land.
This battle was thus of little concern to the Republic of Northwest.
Of course, to ensure safety, once the war had started, Sui Xiong would still increase the control and restrictions of trade in the Republic. Any military personnel or deliverymen would not be able to enter the Republic to allow the Republic to remain neutral.
Since Sui Xiong had already decided to take on a neutral stance, he would not tolerate any action that skewed the war in the humans’ or Orcs’ favor. He had already made up his mind to solely play the role of saving lives in this war.
Sui Xiong was only prepared to stop slaughter and provide aid to refugees. That was all.
Now Sui Xiong needed to make preparations for these refugees.
He did not plan to install the refugee shelters in either Void Mask City or the Republic of Northwest. Although he was not a real estate or urban planning student, he had seen many pieces of news on Earth regarding the issue of refugees causing trouble. Cases like these were plentiful. If he gathered all the newspapers that reported on refugee crises and flattened them into sheets before stacking them up, they could easily squash his body flat!
Sui Xiong thus decided to specially create a city for the refugees to live in. This would allow him to have better control over them and in doing so, save himself much trouble.
“This is a decent spot.” Sui Xiong quickly reached his destination by flight and surveyed the patch of rural land. Seeing the vast emptiness and plain land, he nodded with satisfaction.
In an instant, his body size increased exponentially and he became the size of a beast that was big enough to block out the sun. He grew several tentacles which were the size of large shields and blocked out the entire piece of land.
Next, he used his multiple, thin tentacles to access the land. These tentacles were thin like needles and they quickly changed color and shape when they touched the ground. After a while, they became infinite numbers of white, straight rods that created a fence for this vast land.
Sui Xiong’s body vibrated and all these tentacles which had become rods detached fully from his body. He then reached out with new tentacles and started sprinkling raindrops down this time.
With the fall of rain, the straight rods that had evolved from the tentacles quickly sprouted into countless shoots, and one could clearly witness their accelerated growth. Within a short period of time, they became vines that wrapped themselves around the straight rods, creating a green wall that was solid and secure.
This giant green wall surrounded the entire land.
“In the past, if Emperor Qin Shihuang had had a man like me as his mason, it would have been so much easier to complete the Great Wall of China. He wouldn’t even need to make Meng Jiannian cry…” Sui Xiong mused randomly to himself in amusement as he created this “green city” within a few minutes’ time. He then nodded to himself in a satisfied fashion.
Afterwards, Sui Xiong engraved several ditches within this surrounded green city and used the ditches as boundary lines. The land was thus divided into several cities of differing sizes. Within each city, rows and rows of simple shacks were built, just like how he had seen construction being done back on Earth.
Once the shacks were completed, he then proceeded to create facilities such as bathing pools and toilets. Sui Xiong was clear that this place where refugees gathered had to be hygienic to prevent illnesses from spreading and wiping out the entire population.
Although the God of Plague had subtly showed support for Sui Xiong and indicated that he would follow Sui Xiong’s orders, even the God of Plague was unable to fully prevent plagues from spreading.
It was thus pertinent that Sui Xiong made the necessary preparations first.
After Sui Xiong had finished the main infrastructure of the land, he began to organize the farms.
