Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up - Chapter 540 - 442: The Beast God Is Dead!
As the ordinary Behemoths descended from the sky, a shocking piece of news spread among them.
The Beast God has died!
The deity that ruled the Half-Beastman World for hundreds of thousands of years, controlling the life and death of countless Half-Beastmen, was inexplicably killed.
It was truly baffling.
Because these ordinary Behemoths had no idea how the Beast God died.
They were just wintering quietly in their territory when suddenly some fierce-looking fellows fell from the sky, beat them up thoroughly, and then sent them to this world.
As for the news of the Beast God’s death, they overheard it from those magical beasts.
After the battle of Beast King City, the Half-Beastman Legion was immediately crushed by those villains at first encounter.
The Beast God made a move at that time.
And then, he died.
Without any warning, inexplicably.
Even those magical beasts didn’t know how the Beast God actually died.
The only thing these ordinary Behemoths were certain of was one thing.
The one who killed the Beast God was the most ordinary-looking one among those villains.
Because when those magical beasts were beating these ordinary Behemoths, they occasionally glanced at that person out of the corner of their eyes, all with an expression of obedience and reverence.
The kind of heartfelt fear could never be faked.
Linglong, upon hearing the description from those ordinary Behemoths, immediately knew who that ordinary person was.
Linglong smiled and said, "That person is none other than the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Empire."
Remo also nodded beside her, "Indeed, it’s the Crown Prince!"
After speaking, he saw Chief Buri’s confusion and explained, "The Crown Prince’s realm is unfathomable. In his presence, I don’t even have the courage to make a move. If he wanted to kill me, it would probably be easier than killing an ant."
Chief Buri, hearing this, recalled that indeed, there was a young man on the battlefield who looked just like an ordinary person.
He hadn’t thought much about that young man before.
Now it seemed that it was likely the young man who exiled them to this world.
Thinking of this, Chief Buri sincerely said, "The Crown Prince is indeed unfathomable."
After speaking, Chief Buri suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Qianluo Shaman.
Seeing Qianluo Shaman’s expression, Chief Buri was momentarily taken aback.
He asked Qianluo Shaman in confusion, "Are you alright?"
Qianluo Shaman knew what he wanted to ask and replied calmly, "I am now a person of the Great Xia Empire; the affairs of the Half-Beastman World have nothing to do with me! As for whether the Beast God is alive or dead, I don’t care, nor am I concerned!"
Upon hearing this, Chief Buri’s mouth twitched.
He realized he didn’t understand Qianluo Shaman at all before.
Qianluo Shaman was once extremely devoted to the Beast God, to the point that Chief Buri had previously worried she would pass information about the Great Xia Empire to the Beast God.
Upon hearing the news of the Beast God’s fall, Chief Buri thought Qianluo Shaman would suffer a mental breakdown, but to his surprise, she was completely indifferent to the Beast God’s life or death.
Chief Buri suddenly recalled a proverb from the Half-Beastman World.
Whoever gives the milk is the mother!
Qianluo Shaman is exactly the kind of person who believes that "whoever gives the milk is the mother."
When the Beast God was powerful, she worshipped the Beast God and willingly became his hound.
Now in the Great Xia Empire.
Qianluo Shaman could suddenly pretend not to recognize the Beast God anymore.
She’s really quite realistic.
Chief Buri shook his head and then, looking awkwardly at the ordinary Behemoths fighting over corn, smiled apologetically at Linglong.
"Lady Linglong, these are just a few hundred-year-old children, they’re young and don’t understand manners, please forgive them."
A few hundred-year-old children?
Linglong’s mouth twitched, but she kept a straight face.
She waved her hand and smiled, "Since they’re your tribesmen, settle them in first. Take care of these little ones, and then you can go to the construction site."
Seeing the sudden addition of three to four thousand ordinary Behemoths, Linglong nearly burst out laughing.
She had been thinking before that they didn’t have enough Gold Behemoths, and it would be nice to have a few more.
As it turned out, a whole batch fell from the sky.
If she accepted these thousands of ordinary Behemoths as well, the construction of the New Imperial City might be completed within a month.
As for what Chief Buri said, that these ordinary Behemoths were just children.
Linglong saw it as no issue at all.
She wouldn’t be sending these "children" to the battlefield.
Even the smallest of these ordinary Behemoths was over five zhang tall.
The power of the Behemoth Race is proportional to their size.
These little Behemoths, even if not as large as adult Gold Behemoths, were by no means inferior to ordinary humans.
They could be sent to mine.
This kind of mindless labor was perfect for these energetic "children."
With this thought, Linglong suddenly had an idea.
Now that they had so much free labor, perhaps she could revise the design plan.
Linglong’s original design for the New Imperial City was based on a millennial plan.
Now, with so many Gold Behemoths, Linglong felt her ambitions could grow bolder.
A thousand years were far too short.
The New Imperial City might aim for three thousand, five thousand, or even ten thousand years.
The more Linglong thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
She couldn’t wait a moment longer and instructed Remo, "Lord Remo, take these two days to rest with your tribesmen. They can help themselves to the food and Spirit Spring, let them rest well, and then go to build the imperial city."
Remo agreed. Seeing Linglong about to leave, he hurriedly asked again, "Lady Linglong, do you mean these newcomers as well?"
Chief Buri and Qianluo Shaman quickly added, "Lady Linglong, these children can also help us build the imperial city. They’re young, don’t eat much, and won’t be a burden to the court!"
In a hurry to gather her subordinates to alter the design plans, Linglong didn’t think twice and said directly, "The little Behemoths get the same treatment as you all! Let them eat their fill, bathe in the Spirit Pool, and after two days of rest, they’ll join in the labor!"
Hearing this, the three of them collectively sighed in relief.
Remo respectfully said, "Please be assured, Lady Linglong, I’ll make sure these people are well-behaved and won’t cause trouble for other workshops."
Nobody understands the Behemoths better than the Behemoths themselves.
Adult Gold Behemoths are docile, doing nothing but eating and showing no interest in much.
But these little Behemoths are a different story.
These little ones are full of energy.
If not properly managed, they could even dismantle the entire grand imperial city.
The Gold Behemoths neglected them because they were too rowdy.
Upon hearing Remo’s words, Chief Buri and Qianluo Shaman also responded.
They said in unison, "We’ll also ensure they don’t make trouble."
They had made up their minds.
Once these little ones were full, they’d be confined to the Spirit Pool directly.
The Behemoth Race finally had a way out.
They absolutely couldn’t allow these little ones to mess things up!
