The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1032 - 316: The Kings Pay Homage!

In fact, if he used the teleportation array, he could travel even faster, not even needing a day. He might say goodbye to General Hamoldon in the morning and be sitting in a meeting with the chieftains of the Chief Council by noon.

Back when he first set foot on this continent, he instructed Alakdo to build fast transit teleportation arrays on both sides of the Sun Step Mountain Range, for transporting crucial military supplies and mobilizing small military forces to assault Assam City. These channels are still in use today, primarily helping players travel quickly and deliver important intelligence.

However, unfortunately, while players can ignore the effects of subspace, Luo Yan himself is already at Platinum Level, making it increasingly impossible to ignore the loss when traversing through subspace.

Unless it's a long-distance journey across the ocean or even a planet, or there's some urgent matter that requires immediate relocation, it's better not to use the teleportation array if it can be avoided.

He has only just recovered to the gold peak state, and it will take another three to five days to return to Platinum Level.

Standing by the lakeside, Luo Yan cast his gaze toward Assam City located in the center of the Holy Lake, his sight crossing the fog-laden lake surface, spotting Lizardmen bustling around amid the ruins.

With the aftermath of the great storm concluding, the residents of Assam City returned, and the life professional players active in the area gradually transitioned from frontline roles to frontline and second-line management roles.

Purely from the perspective of physical labor, these Lizardmen are naturally as strong as oxen and horses.

After all, every gene in their bodies is the crystallization of Zeta Empire's biotechnology. Without interfering with extraordinary power, probably only the race of stone giants from the Great Graveyard could compete with them physically.

But that being said, the race of stone giants was created by extraordinary power and cannot be considered typical creatures. And considering this, the Lizardmen of the Gana Continent indeed live up to the name "the strongest beasts on the surface."

Thanks to the experience gained from reconstruction work, a skilled life professional player can often command 5 to 10 Lizardmen laborers, handling 1 to 2 reconstruction projects.

The strengths of both complement each other, one providing brains and the other brawn, making the entire construction process aptly described as having wings to fly.

Notably, Luo Yan also noticed that the Lizardmen in Assam City had constructed some simple inland docks along the banks of the lake, at the edges of the ruined city walls, shuttling back and forth between the banks of the Holy Lake and the waterways connecting it.

They used raft-like sampans to transport unrecoverable construction waste outside the Holy Lake and then brought treated timber and stone back into the Holy City.

Aside from relying on manpower to row the boats, some of the larger sampans were equipped with small steam engines, resembling a small boiler with propeller blades tied onto rafts made of logs, perpetually at risk of falling apart.

However crude this method might be, it undeniably proved effective, greatly increasing the speed of material transfer, being more than twice as fast as animal-drawn carts and human-pulled trolleys!

Luo Yan didn't even need to guess; this must have been an idea conceived by the players.

After all, the Lizardmen of the Gana Continent didn't have such things as ships before, let alone installing steam engines on them.

Maybe Assam City might turn into a water city like Venice in the future, encircling the vast Holy Lake within a prospering urban area.

That is something unpredictable.

Floating beside Luo Yan, Youyou remarked softly.

"If General Hamoldon saw such a scene, he'd probably be shocked."

That milky-white body was still visible to no one.

However, Luo Yan could now perceive its presence without relying on a mirror.

"Maybe... or maybe he'd be disappointed," Luo Yan replied noncommittally, then gently waved the magic wand in his hand, summoning a skeleton horse exuding netherworld energy from the purple mist that spiraled upward. Mounting it, he advanced toward the Holy City.

The Lizardmen he passed stood still and nodded, casting reverent looks at his back.

After witnessing the miraculous ascent and descent of the Dragon God Temple, virtually all residents of Assam City wholeheartedly devoted their faith and loyalty to him.

As for the players, some cast curious glances, others showed expressions of surprise, each displaying different emotions.

Luo Yan nodded slightly to his followers, not disturbing their work and lives, and proceeded straight past the city walls, which retained only one city gate, to the otherworldly scenery beyond that gate.

Lizardmen carrying baskets filled with stones rushed down the streets, and winged little demons handed wrenches to the undead standing on the scaffolding... The entire city area was almost devoid of idle loafers.

Steam cranes exhaling white mist hoisted materials high, wooden masts entwined with vines stood at streets and alleys, resembling a metal forest unfolding at a glance.

Water vapor dripping along the copper pipes was like sweat exuding from Assam City, the giant beast, nurturing the sun-kissed stone pavement and the molten scars extending along them, slowly stitching the ugly wounds embossed on this land.

Continuing down the street, there was a shattered market, with a few temporary tent zones demarcated around it.
