In just a few days, the first wave of resources had already been loaded onto warships from all sides and dispatched toward Lionback Kingdom.
In an instant, the entire Lionback Kingdom was in an uproar.
Nearly every demon was immersed in joy. Six-Eared Macaque was so delighted he could barely keep his mouth closed. Tribute from the Three Realms—such glory had never been seen, not even at Blossom Mountain’s height.
The atmosphere was as if the restoration of the ancient demon empire was already within reach.
But this was only the beginning.
The resource acquisition plan was proceeding steadily, and the shipbuilding initiative naturally ought to begin at once. Yet, for a demon kingdom lacking enough resources to build a massive fleet, could it possibly have a ready reserve of skilled labor for such shipbuilding?
Clearly, it did not. In fact, the problem of manpower was even more severe than the resource shortage.
King Roc, King Liontusk, and even the late King Gloomape were, at heart, not natives of Blossom Mountain and had never received the Blossom Mountain model of demon education. Deep down, they were still the wandering demon kings of old.
Back at Blossom Mountain, their demon followers were almost never cultivators of the Sage’s Path. After leaving Blossom Mountain to found Lionback Kingdom, they never seriously considered adopting the Blossom Mountain system. As a result, among the hundreds of thousands of demons in Lionback, true Sage’s Path cultivators were few and far between.
As for Nine-Headed Wyrm’s followers, to avoid suspicion from Heaven, he had never kept a large reserve.
Many-Eyes the Centipede did have a few suitable disciples, but their numbers were far too small to take on such a massive task.
Faced with this situation, even without Many-Eyes the Centipede pointing it out, Six-Ears Damon could count on his fingers and know that his plan to relocate the capital to Blossom Mountain in the short term was simply impossible.
Yet Anna Yang was unconcerned.
Just as Six-Ears Damon was fretting over this, Anna Yang released another plan.
She set strict engineering progress standards, demanding that everything be completed on time and in full. Any delays would be met with severe punishment.
In no time, Lionback Kingdom—still dizzy with joy over the Three Realms tribute—was thrown into chaos. Countless petitions flew onto Six-Ears Damon’s desk like snowflakes.
Nearly every demon opposed the plan.
Gazing at the mountain of petitions, even Six-Ears Damon—who usually ignored his subordinates’ feelings—felt his scalp tingle.
He sat in his study, legs propped up, and looked doubtfully at Anna Yang standing before the desk: “Is this plan really feasible?”
“You don’t trust me?”
