The three Demon Eagles flew very high, completely exceeding the limit of the Snake-Men Empire's aerial reconnaissance cavalry.
But even so, when they were a few thousand miles away from the Snake-Men Empire, the three immediately got off the Demon Eagles and dived into the sea, waiting for the sky to darken. The three Demon Eagles then returned to Cloud Sky City.
After the sky darkened, the three flew to an altitude of twenty to thirty thousand meters, directly using Xuan Skill to fly, and entered the Snake-Men Empire without anyone noticing.
It had been almost three years since Yang Dingtian last came to the Snake-Men Empire.
Although it was night, the entire Dongli Grassland had completely changed.
It turned out that most of it was still covered by forests.
At this time, countless forests had disappeared, replaced by countless castles.
Looking from the sky, the ground was full of fire.
The Snake-Men Empire's crude forging factories and the shipyards by the sea were producing and manufacturing day and night.
Like the Council of Light, everything in the Snake-Men Empire since two to three years ago was to prepare for the future war.
The war machine was turning to the extreme.
But unlike the human countries, the population under the rule of the Yang Dingtian Council of Light was in the billions.
The Snake-Men Empire spanned tens of thousands of miles, and all the Half-Human Clan added together barely exceeded a hundred million.
While the Council of Light was preparing for the war, most of the people were living better and better lives.
Not only did the number of cannons, ships, and armor increase, but the increase in grain, meat, fruits, and vegetables was even more shocking.
Countless people, after receiving their land from the feudal lords, erupted with a passion for production that was completely astonishing.
Therefore, in the past few years, if one could calculate the GDP of the continent under the rule of the Tiandō League, the GDP growth would be incomparably terrifying.
Countless laborers were liberated, and countless lands were opened up.
Therefore, many people were even joking.
The so-called Doomsday War was simply fake. Yang Dingtian used the Doomsday War as a gimmick to carry out the biggest reform in the human countries.
Because many problems could not be solved by normal means, and there were too many benefits involved.
But under the theme of saving the world, everything had to give way.
Yang Dingtian's left hand was righteous, and his right hand was military force. In the past few years, he had carried out earth-shaking reforms in the human countries.
Moreover, the whole process was bloody. Countless corpses were crushed under the gears of the Council of Light's violent machine.
But under the theme of saving the world, under the theme of Doomsday War, everything appeared righteous.
Therefore, despite the extreme state of war preparations, the prosperity of the Snake-Men Empire.
However, the Snakeman Empire was different. Almost all of the races that didn't have any fighting power had been turned into slaves to build cities, excavate ores, forge weapons, and so on.
All the races with combat power had become soldiers.
Therefore, the current Snakeman Empire was no different from hell.
Most of the production had stopped.
Herding and harvesting had been interrupted for a long time.
If it weren't for the Sea Heart Queen building a large number of fishing boats and fishing in the vast sea, the Snakemen Empire would have run out of food already.
Even so, there was still a large-scale famine in the Naga Empire.
There was no longer any fairness or justice in this place.
In this place, strength was king.
It was the most naked pyramid structure. The docile races had been reduced to worse than pigs and dogs.
According to the Council of Light's intelligence, since the establishment of the Snake-Men Empire, more than eight million half-humans had died in the hands of Queen Poissa.
And in the hands of Queen Hai Xin, more than forty million half-humans had died, and this was a very conservative number.
In other words, in the years after Queen Hai Xin ascended the throne, thirty to forty percent of the Snake-Men Empire's population had died.
Now, the Empire's war machine was still expanding.
She had no choice. She had to maintain a certain level of strength with the human countries, lest the army of the Snake-Men Empire be reduced to a supporting role in the upcoming Doomsday War.
How many people were left in the Snake-Men Empire? How many troops did they have?
Of course, this was top secret. Except for Queen Hai Xin, no one knew.
But the Council of Light had general information. The Snake-Men Empire had an army of twenty million.
Yes, it was twenty million.
The entire human countries had a population of more than two billion, but there were only twenty million first-line troops.
The current population of the Snake-Men Empire was less than one hundred million, but they still had an army of twenty million.
Yang Dingtian was completely unable to imagine how the Sea Heart Queen was able to support an army of 20 million soldiers.
There were tens of millions of slaves in the Snake-Men Empire. Most of them were manufacturing weapons, mining, and warships. Only a few were involved in food production and herding.
In fact, this had become the biggest mystery for the Council of Light and the biggest problem for the Council of Light's intelligence organization.
Many people suspected that someone in the human countries was smuggling food.
In the end, after a long investigation, they did not find any smuggling.
It should be known that the Radiant Parliament's control over food was extremely strict.
Under the surveillance of hundreds of thousands of winged cavalry warriors and countless ships, even if one wanted to smuggle food, the ships would not be able to go out to sea.
So many people suspected that Sky Demon City was supplying food to the Snake-Men Empire through secret channels.
However, all of Sky Demon City's food was now supplied by the Council of Light.
It did not produce food itself. Moreover, the extremely domineering Council of Light had almost deployed its army to the outside of Sky Demon City's walls.
The reason why Sky Demon City was abnormally prosperous before was that the transactions between the Council of Light and the Evil ways were carried out in Sky Demon City.
So, almost all of the world's shady transactions were gathered in Sky Demon City.
Now, the Evil ways' territory was only left with a few thousand square kilometers of territory and less than ten million people.
The two leaders of the Evil ways, one Dugu Xiao and the other Lone Wolf, no longer cared about worldly affairs.
The Tiandō League had been completely unified, so there was no need for any secret transactions.
So, Sky Demon City withered rapidly.
Now, most of the brothels could no longer operate in Sky Demon City, and most of the civilians could no longer survive in Sky Demon City. They fled to the Council of Light's territory and became ordinary citizens under Yang Dingtian's rule.
It was impossible for such a desolate Sky Demon City to provide food for such a huge Snake-Men Empire.
Of course, it did not matter how Queen Hai Xin fed her army of twenty million people.
But in short, such an abnormal power country could not exist for too long.
If the Great War did not happen, the Snake-Men Empire would collapse on its own.
From this, it could be seen that Queen Hai Xin did not care about the life and death of the half-human race. She also did not want the wilderness of the Dongli Grassland.
She had always wanted to invade the human countries and enjoy the beautiful lands of the West Continent and even the Central Continent.
…
Yang Dingtian and the other two crossed half of the Snake-Men Empire's territory and quickly flew to the sky near Sacred Valley.
It was ironic that when Queen Poissa ruled the Snake-Men Empire, Saintess Hai Xin led the resistance army into Sacred Valley for the final resistance.
After Hai Xin became the Queen, her cruelty and evil deeds were a hundred times more than Queen Poissa's.
So, her disciple, who was also Yang Dingtian's wife, Huang Yu, led the resistance army into Sacred Valley again and continued the resistance.
The outside of Sacred Valley was not only surrounded by a city wall, but also by a huge city. It was a huge military city.
Queen Hai Xin built a huge city on the border of the defensive line outside Sacred Valley. The scale of this city was second only to the Royal City. Hai Xin named it Mi Jing!
The Snake-Men Empire had three cities named Jingjing.
The first was the Royal City, Jingdu, also known as Xin Jing, named after Hai Xin's heart.
The second was the huge city under the Celestial Red Sea, named Hai Jing.
Firstly, it was named after the Celestial Red Sea. Secondly, it was named after Queen Hai Xin's name.
The third was Mi Jing on the west side of Sacred Valley. This name was also named after Queen Hai Xin's other name, Mi Di!
From this, it could be seen that her mentality was one of absolute supremacy.
The three Jingjing of the Snake-Men Empire were named after her.
Mi Jing was hundreds of miles long and wide. There were castles one after another and layers of defensive lines. There were at least two million troops stationed there.
Yang Dingtian didn't know why Queen Hai Xin would build such a huge military city or why she had to station such an astronomical number of troops.
Was it for the hundreds of thousands of resistance army in Sacred Valley?
It could not be. Queen Hai Xin could crush all the resistance army with a single finger.
If it was not for the resistance army in Sacred Valley, it would be the vast sea to the east.
Moreover, this sea was infinite and overlapped with space. Even if one flew out for a hundred thousand miles or two hundred thousand miles, there would be no end to it.
It was impossible for the human kingdoms to attack through this area of the sea.
However, Queen Hai Xin made this the most important defensive area. She must have her reasons.
…
To enter Sacred Valley, one must pass through Mi Jing.
Even though it was night and they were flying ten thousand meters above the ground, Yang Dingtian did not dare to be careless. He carried Yao Li in his left hand and Yao Zi in his right. Then, he used his invisibility mystic skill and Demonic Spirit Mist Cloak Flash to pass through Mi Jing.
Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian was right to be careful.
Because Queen Hai Xin had set up a huge energy formation in the sky above Mi Jing.
Any energy that passed through would be detected.
Even if it was ten thousand meters above the ground.
After Yang Dingtian entered invisibility, he entered a pseudo-isolated space and could not create any energy waves.
That was why he could pass through Mi Jing without being detected.
After passing through Mi Jing, Yang Dingtian arrived outside Sacred Valley.
Immediately, he saw a crude city gate and a mountain pass. There were dozens of Foxman Race warriors guarding it.
It formed a stark contrast with the colossal Mi Jing.
Yang Dingtian did not alert anyone and directly flashed into Sacred Valley from the sky.
…
After entering Sacred Valley, Yang Dingtian saw an incomparably miserable scene.
Almost all of them were dressed in rags.
Everyone was sallow and emaciated.
Fortunately, the people here were no longer just living in tents. They were basically all living in wooden houses.
Furthermore, the entire Sacred Valley had been extensively transformed, reclaiming many fields.
Even many forests had been cut down and turned into arable land.
There were densely packed houses, one after another.
The entire Sacred Valley had already become a huge village.
No less than a hundred thousand rebels who were unwilling to obey Queen Hai Xin lived in this densely packed village.
It was already different from the Sacred Valley in Yang Dingtian's impression.
Yang Dingtian walked on the dilapidated but orderly village roads, wanting to find Huang Yu's residence.
This was obviously not an easy task, because the densely packed houses here were all similar.
Deep into the center of Sacred Valley town, by the side of a river, Yang Dingtian saw a small square.
There, Yang Dingtian saw a small castle, a house made of stone.
Furthermore, there were several Foxman Race warriors guarding the outside of the house.
The owner of this house was either Day By Day Bella or Huang Yu.
Yang Dingtian turned invisible and quickly flashed into the small castle.
Soon, he heard a familiar voice from inside. However, it was not Huang Yu's, but Princess Xiang Xiang of the Foxman Race.
"Yang Wu 'er, you piss me off. Do you know how scarce food is now?
How can you throw food on the ground? Apologize, apologize immediately. "Princess Xiang Xiang's voice sounded flustered and exasperated.
Yang Dingtian jumped out of the window and saw Princess Xiang Xiang carefully picking up the coarse oatmeal on the ground, carefully wiping it and putting it into her mouth.
Yang Dingtian could not help but feel sour in his heart.
Princess Xiang Xiang, the daughter of the Foxman Race's chief, Zhuri Beila, was the pearl in the palm of the entire Foxman Race.
She used to be so plump, but now, she was so thin that her eye sockets were sunken and her chin was so sharp.
Her delicate body seemed to be as light as a feather.
Furthermore, the clothes on her body were also very tattered and had many patches on them.
Xiang Xiang was the princess of the Foxman Race. If even she was like this, it could be seen how scarce the resources in Sacred Valley were.
In front of Xiang Xiang, a little girl about four years old stood there angrily. She raised her little chin and pouted her little mouth as she confronted Xiang Xiang.
However, her back was facing Yang Dingtian, so he could not see her face clearly.
However, from the back view, she was a very stubborn little girl. Although her clothes were very exquisite, they had been worn for a long time. Moreover, the corners of her clothes were worn out.
"Yang Wu, how can you be so insensible? How can you waste food? Do you know how many people don't have enough to eat now?" Xiang Xiang said angrily: "You must apologize to auntie."
The little girl said crisply: "I don't want to eat, I want mommy to feed me. Who told her to not be at home every day?"
"Mommy is very busy. Can't auntie accompany you?" Xiang Xiang said.
"No, I want mommy, I want mommy …" The little girl said loudly. She clenched her teeth and did not cry.
Xiang Xiang went over and hugged the little girl. She gently coaxed: "Good baby, mommy will be back tonight."
At this time, Yang Dingtian finally saw the little girl, the daughter he had never seen before.
After taking a look, Yang Dingtian was instantly stunned!
This daughter of his didn't look like Huang Yu. She didn't look like him, a living little Dugu Fengwu.
That's right, no matter if it was her eyes or her nose, she looked exactly like Dugu Fengwu.
This tall and exquisite nose was filled with willpower, and Yang Dingtian could see it with a single look.
Furthermore, when she raised her chin, that domineering and powerful look was exactly the same as Dugu Fengwu.
Yang Li was Dugu Fengwu's son, but he only inherited a portion of Dugu Fengwu's characteristics. The other half was Yang Dingtian's, which was a little arrogant.
This little girl in front of him was a complete copy of Dugu Fengwu.
However, because of the lack of resources, the little girl was a little skinny. Her small face was sharp, and her eyes were very big.
However, Yang Dingtian recognized the heroic spirit that belonged to Dugu Fengwu with a single look.
What, what was going on?
Yang Dingtian was truly confused. Wasn't it already proven that Huang Yu wasn't Dugu Fengwu?
In fact, Yang Dingtian had already reconfirmed that Yun Junnu was actually Dugu Fengwu.
Why was there a reversal now?
The daughter that Huang Yu gave birth to was actually a small copy of Dugu Fengwu.
That, that could only prove one thing. Huang Yu was Dugu Fengwu.
Even if her soul spirit wasn't, her body was definitely Dugu Fengwu's. Her child was the irrefutable proof.
Immediately after, Yang Dingtian thought of a possibility.
Then, he clenched his teeth. If that was the case, then Queen Hai Xin's intentions were truly unforgivable.
"If you aren't obedient, Father won't come and visit you." Xiang Xiang couldn't convince her daughter and was instantly angry.
"So be it. You guys only know how to lie anyway."
Yang Wu said loudly, "I know. My Father doesn't want Mother and me anymore. I don't care.
Since she doesn't want us, we don't want her either. "
Afterward, she threw the small bowl on the ground again and even stepped on it with her little feet.
"Bad Father, bad Father. I don't want Father anymore. I don't want Father anymore …" The little girl stepped on it and finally couldn't hold it in anymore as she cried out loudly.
Xiang Xiang couldn't hold it in either. She hugged the little girl and also started crying.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian couldn't hold it in anymore. He quickly rushed in and hugged the little girl tightly in his arms!
"Good girl, good girl. Father is here. Sorry, sorry, sorry …" Yang Dingtian's tears couldn't help but flow out. He hugged the little girl tightly and kissed her hair with all his might.
She was really skinny. She was already over four years old, but she didn't even weigh ten kilograms.
Yang Dingtian was so heartbroken that he was about to suffocate. He really regretted not coming to the Snake Men Empire earlier.
Of course, the reason was because he didn't want to completely anger Queen Hai Xin.
He also felt that Huang Yu was Hai Xin's disciple and her only family. Queen Hai Xin probably wouldn't do anything to her.
But in reality, he still didn't care enough about Huang Yu.
In the end, he let his wife and daughter suffer from the moment they were born.
The little lass was in Yang Dingtian's embrace and was immediately scared silly.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from below. Huang Yu's voice sounded.
"Good girl, Mother is back. Are you good?"
Huang Yu's voice was filled with intimacy, but it was also filled with fatigue.
