In the team, in addition to the warriors of the Black Rock Tribe, there were also three enchanting beast-girl beauties.
And a huge convoy, composed of the three Beastman races, responsible for transporting rubber and special products.
Wu Liang rode on the back of his tall mount, the Storm Tiger Feng Lei, looking at the massive team behind him and the Beastmen who had come to see them off in the distance. His heart swelled with pride.
The journey home was long, but the team's morale was exceptionally high.
They had pacified the Wailing Swamp, subdued the Magical Beast Lord, and brought back a massive amount of strategic resources and three beauties from other races.
The results from the Wailing Swamp far exceeded expectations, and every warrior's face was beaming with a proud smile.
Wu Liang rode the majestic Storm Tiger Feng Lei at the very front of the team.
Yaduo, Mia, and Di Lulu shared a spacious carriage, following closely behind.
This carriage was specially prepared for them by Wu Liang. The interior was covered with soft animal hides, and there were various snacks and drinks, making it incredibly comfortable.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the carriage was a bit subtle.
"Sister Yaduo, your tail is so beautiful, and it feels so soft to touch."
Mia played with Yaduo's huge fiery red fox tail, her face full of envy.
Yaduo leaned lazily on the cushion, letting Mia do as she pleased.
However, her phoenix eyes glanced at the silent Di Lulu, and she chuckled sweetly:
"Little Sister Di Lulu, why haven't you spoken the whole way?"
Di Lulu sighed at her words:
"It's my first time leaving the Wailing Swamp, I'm not quite used to it."
"Don't worry, when we get to the Black Rock Tribe, Chief Wu Liang will treat us well."
Yaduo said as a matter of course, her words already indicating her complete integration.
Mia nodded vigorously from the side: "Mhm! Chief is the best person!"
Di Lulu looked at them, a warm current flowing through her heart.
Although she was a little reluctant to leave her homeland, being able to follow such a powerful man made everything worth it.
Wu Liang listened to the chirping voices coming from the carriage behind him, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A harmonious harem is an important guarantee for a successful career, after all.
As he thought, he took out a letter. This was the latest report from Suina, just delivered by Sa Lan's scouts from the relay station.
The handwriting on the letter was delicate yet strong, filled with a certain urgency and excitement.
"Wu Liang, you big liar! You said you'd be back soon, but you've been gone for months!"
Seeing the beginning of the letter, Wu Liang could already imagine Suina's pouting expression.
"However, on account of the rubber you sent back, this young lady will forgive you for now!"
"Let me tell you some good news! Great news! I succeeded! I really succeeded!"
"I installed that small steam engine onto a four-wheeled cart! It can actually run on its own!"
"Although it's not fast, and it always belches black smoke and sounds like thunder, it really can run on its own!"
"I named it Black Rock One Steam Powered Vehicle! How about that, isn't it magnificent?"
"The current problem is that its power is still too small. It can only move slowly on flat ground and gives up as soon as it encounters an uphill slope."
"Moreover, the steering is very inflexible, and the boiler's combustion efficiency isn't high enough. It can't go far before needing more coal and water..."
At the end of the letter, Suina listed a large number of technical difficulties and directions for improvement, her words filled with an obsession and fanaticism for technology.
Wu Liang looked at the letter, his smile growing wider.
Steam War Chariot!
Although it was still just a prototype, this meant that the Black Rock Tribe's military technology was about to usher in a revolutionary leap!
One could imagine the immense psychological impact on the enemy when an army composed of steel behemoths appeared on the battlefield.
The knights of the Roland Empire, still in the era of cavalry charges, would be utterly vulnerable in the face of tracks and machine guns.
"Suina, oh Suina, you truly are my precious treasure."
Wu Liang put away the letter, his heart filled with anticipation.
He couldn't wait to go back and see what that so-called steam powered vehicle looked like.
After traveling for some more time, the Black Rock Tribe's team finally returned to familiar territory.
When they saw the towering city walls of the Black Rock Tribe and the smoking factories in the distance, everyone cheered.
The people of the Black Rock Tribe had already received the news. They all came out of their homes and gathered outside the city gate to welcome the return of their Chief and the expeditionary army.
When Wu Liang rode Storm, leading the massive team and abundant supplies to the city gate, the entire Black Rock Tribe erupted.
"The Chief is back!"
"Long live Lord Wu Liang!"
The cheers were deafening, echoing through the sky.
The people of the Black Rock Tribe excitedly waved their arms, their faces filled with pride and joy.
Eliza, Wei Xian, Florgloria, and Wu Liang's other women also stood at the city gate, their faces showing excited smiles.
When they saw Wu Liang riding that huge Storm Tiger, followed by Yaduo, Di Lulu, and Mia,
A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
Wu Liang jumped off Storm's back and strode towards Eliza and the others.
"I'm back."
Wu Liang said, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness.
Eliza threw herself into Wu Liang's arms, tears glistening in her eyes.
"You're finally back, we were so worried about you."
Wei Xian also walked over.
She gently patted Wu Liang's shoulder, her eyes full of concern.
"It's good that you're safe."
Florgloria walked to Wu Liang's side, a gentle smile on her face.
"Welcome home, my man."
Yaduo, Di Lulu, and Mia stood not far away, looking nervously at Eliza and the others.
These were Lord Wu Liang's women; they needed to gain their approval.
Wu Liang turned around, looked at Yaduo and the others, then looked at Eliza and the others, a confident smile on his face.
"Eliza, Wei Xian, Florgloria, let me introduce them."
Wu Liang said.
"They are Yaduo, the Chief of the Fox Clan; Di Lulu, the Chief of the Dog Clan; and Mia, a girl from the Cat-ear Tribe."
"They are now all my women, and also members of the Black Rock Tribe."
A look of understanding flashed in Eliza's eyes.
They had long guessed that new sisters would join, after all, they knew Lord Wu Liang's charm better than anyone.
Eliza was the first to walk up to Yaduo and the others, extending her hand with a friendly smile.
"Welcome to the Black Rock Tribe family."
Yaduo and the others nervously extended their hands and shook Eliza's.
They could feel the maternal radiance and tolerance emanating from Eliza.
Wei Xian and Florgloria also came over, both expressing their welcome to Yaduo and the others.
They would accept any woman Lord Wu Liang brought back.
Wu Liang looked at this harmonious scene, a sense of satisfaction welling up in his heart.
Suddenly, a group of people gathered in the distance, and from the center came rumbling sounds, accompanied by rolling black smoke.
"What is that?"
Ignis rode her horse to Wu Liang's side and asked curiously.
Wu Liang's heart stirred, and he smiled:
"Let's go, we'll know when we see it."
