Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 920 Rebuilding the Desert City

Shui Churou looked at everything before her and smiled as she spoke to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen nodded after listening: "Yes, getting everyone to move here is no less difficult than a major battle!"

"But don't worry, now that we've taken on the mission, we'll be responsible for the people of Desert City."

"I believe that in less than three years, Desert City will be completely transformed."

After saying that, he turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Eliminate all the remaining members of the Black Fiend Army as quickly as possible, and prepare to open the city gates to welcome the people of the desert."

After hearing Chu Chen's order, the 10,000 soldiers immediately dispersed and took control of all those in the camp who were related to the Black Fiend Army.

These people fled or hid, but ultimately they could not escape the bullets of the desert army.

As night fell, all the Black Fiend Army camps were completely wiped out!

Chu Chen, with Shui Churou and Sha Yanyan in tow, sat in Zuo Yunxiong's main hall, which had been burned down by the fire, and said with a sigh, "At this moment, the Great Desert City truly belongs to the people of the Great Desert."

"Hehe, Chu boy, there are still two bandit groups to deal with. I guess we'll be busy for a while."

Shui Churou looked at Chu Chen and retorted.

"Don't worry, Aunt Rou. If their leader is smart enough, he will bring the goods to the city lord's mansion tomorrow."

Chu Chen was quite confident about this; the news of the Black Fiend Army's annihilation would probably spread throughout the entire Desert City by today.

The leaders of the other two companies, unless they are stubborn fools, would not come to confront me head-on at this time.

They either run away, far away, and never live in the desert city again, or they come to surrender.

But they certainly won't wait for me to lead a large army to annihilate them.

Sha Yanyan nodded after listening, agreeing with Chu Chen's opinion: "Aunt Rou, they won't be that stupid, don't worry!"

Shui Churou chuckled: "Young people are still quick-witted. It seems I'm getting old."

"No, no, no, Aunt Rou is still as charming as ever, she's at the peak of her beauty, how could she be old!"

Hearing Chu Chen's praise, Shui Churou immediately smiled happily.

"What's wrong? Do you have feelings for Aunt Rou?"

Chu Chen was stunned after hearing this. He thought to himself, "This guy is really bragging. How am I supposed to respond to this?"

So she quickly changed the subject, saying, "Um, Yan Yan, Aunt Rou, I have to go out and see how their cleaning is going!"

After saying that, Chu Chen dashed out of the main hall and came to the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, Fee, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked up at the moon in the sky. When he saw Chu Chen come out, he immediately stood up.

"Lord City Lord, look how round the moon is tonight!"

Chu Chen looked at the bewildered Fey and wondered what was wrong with all these people.

"Senior Fei, didn't we agree not to keep calling him 'Lord of the City'?"

"Hehe, if it were before, I would have called you Lord City Lord because of the old man Sha Jinrui's authority. But now, this address of Lord City Lord comes from my heart, and it is also from the heart of the people of the desert!"

After saying that, Fay coughed violently, then picked up his cigarette and took a deep drag.

"This desert city is finally free from suffering! Lord City Lord, you must be a good city lord who always puts the people first!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and then sat down in the courtyard with Fei.

He could understand Fee's feelings. For so many years, the people of the desert city had been oppressed by the powerful and could only make a living by digging in this yellow sand.

But how much grain can be dug out from this desert land?

Moreover, most of this grain was requisitioned by the Black Fiend Army!

Therefore, Chu Chen's appearance this time has truly changed their lives.

In reality, ordinary people are very simple; they just need enough to eat and wear and don't ask for much. But even this simple need for food and clothing can be overwhelming!

Looking at the bright, round moon, Chu Chen was deeply moved. He thought about how he used to run several kilometers and only earn a few dollars. He thought to himself, "It's hard to be a decent human being!"

Now that I have the ability, let's make them all rich!

The next morning, the area outside Oasis City was crowded with soldiers of all kinds, mixed with some civilians.

They were the first to be brought to build this city after the victory in the battle.

Accompanied by Fei Ai, Shui Churou, and Sha Yanyan, Chu Chen walked out of the city gate and stood on a newly built high platform.

Upon seeing Chu Chen emerge, the crowd immediately knelt down, shouting, "Lord City Lord!"

Looking at the joyful faces of the people below, Chu Chen also smiled knowingly.

He waved his hand and pulled out a huge square dance speaker, then picked up the microphone and spoke to the crowd below.

"My lords, you have annihilated the Black Fiend Army and liberated the people of Desert City. Therefore, as the city lord of Desert City, I salute you. Every one of you is a hero, a hero of Desert City!"

Hearing Chu Chen's words, each of the soldiers wore a proud expression.

Although they knew that this victory largely depended on Chu Chen's advanced weaponry, it was still an honor to gain the city lord's approval.

"Fellow countrymen of the desert, this victory is inseparable from your support. You sent your sons and sisters to the battlefield. I salute your spirit of selfless dedication. Without your support, there would be no victory in this battle!"

"Therefore, this victory is the result of the unity of the people of the desert. On behalf of the desert city, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone!"

After speaking, Chu Chen bowed deeply to the people below.

If Chu Chen's recognition of the soldiers before was somewhat understandable, then his recognition of the people's support now is simply a way of winning people's hearts.

After hearing Chu Chen's words, the people were immediately impressed by the city lord's humility.

It was his arrival that enabled everyone to lead the Black Fiend Army into victory in this battle.

This city lord not only doesn't take credit for himself, but also puts all the credit on every single person in the desert city. He must be a good city lord!

"Alright, everyone, please rise. Although we have defeated the Black Fiend Army and reclaimed our own oasis, there is still a lot of reconstruction work to be done, and we need everyone's help."

"Therefore, we need to work together to build Desert City into a paradise that everyone envies."

After speaking, Chu Chen put down the microphone and then had Ba Tiancheng bring everyone in.

"Brother Ba, go find me as many craftsmen as possible!"
