If it were not for his lack of manpower in Xingrong Town and Luochuan Town, neighboring his Tianyuan Territory, he would want to purchase things in several crucial towns simultaneously.
“Danshiling Town should be enough, after all, Duo Lai is not picky, as long as they are high-order monsters.”
Mu Yuan led his main force back to his loyal Tianyuan Town.
General Dead Bone was still not back.
Stubbornly, he insisted on sweeping the rear, plugging the gaps, and clearing the traces.
He spent a full two days cleaning and checking before finally returning to his territory, focusing on his cultivation.
As always, the Tianyuan Territory was peaceful and harmonious.
The guard soldiers patrolled the streets and stood upright on the city walls.
The main force of the exploration army was also in a period of confined cultivation.
This is because Mu Yuan has reduced their exploration tasks.
Not reduced, almost cancelled.
He left some elites to patrol with the Battle Falcon Army, preventing anyone from taking advantage. Other than this, he had suspended his exploration of the wilderness area.
It’s not very safe at this time.
With the Goblin Prince wandering around, he was constantly entering and exiting as a foreign legend.
This wilderness was fraught with hidden dangers. The more roads one traveled, the more likely it was to encounter one.
Even if Tai Xuan scored a victory in The Land of Two Realms, creating a deterrent effect, they could not entirely prevent those foreign powerhouses from wandering around Tai Xuan’s periphery.
“Wait a bit longer.”
“Once Lanxing has fully merged, the situation will stabilize. At this stage, be more patient.”
“And this is a good opportunity to convert the money and resources at hand into strength to accompany oneself.”
Thinking of this, Lord Shepherd started his immersive cultivation.
Nowadays, he is also a fourth-order strongman, and should aim for the legendary rank.
…
The Red Fog Disaster Moon had passed, ushering in a season of growth for all things.
Trade between territories is becoming more and more frequent.
“In the Red Fog Disaster Moon, four out of seven territories around us were gone. Terrible, just terrible.”
A caravan of dozens of people momentarily stopped outside a territory that had become ruins.
Lord Zhou Ye sighed as he looked at the ruins before him.
In some ways, fewer territories in the surrounding areas means less competition and more resources to be earned.
But,
Lord Zhou Ye didn’t find it funny, just sadness like mourning one’s own plight when the neighbor’s house is on fire.
During the most intense phase of the previous Red Fog Disaster Moon, he almost didn’t make it. If he didn’t make it, could there be a desert in the territories of Shiling area?
“Stop worrying so much.”
“The main reason why this Red Fog Disaster Moon was so dangerous is that this batch of lords had too little time to develop and build. The next Red Fog Disaster Moon won’t strike for one or two years. By then, my Red Leaf Territory will surely have sufficient self-defense forces.”
His future is still promising!
He can’t be scared by the disaster, as a lord he must be confident.
The caravan continued on its way, heading for the strongest territory in the vicinity, located to the east of the swamp.
The territory of Lord Mu Yuan.
He had been there before and had seen the strength and prosperity of Lord Mu’s house. He didn’t have any standout goods.
However, he could bring some local specialties from his territory as gifts and take the opportunity to strengthen relationships.
After all, it’s a strong neighbor, having a good relationship is always right.
If he encounters a powerful monster force that’s hard to deal with in the future, he can ask for help. Even if he needs to pay for help, it is simpler, faster and possibly cheaper to ask a nearby lord for help than to hire an army from Shiling Town or even Pan Shi City.
Thinking about that, Lord Zhou Ye was gradually entering the target area.
After the Red Fog Disaster Moon, it was indeed much easier to travel in the wild, and they had only encountered one elite monster on the way. It was just a wandering monster.
When he reached the eastern part of the swamp, he hardly saw even a hair of a monster.
The entire journey was shockingly clean.
Once he got out of the swamp, he could see some trampled dirt roads along the way, and the trees were also much sparser.
There was a magnificent city wall appearing at the end of the line of sight, like a black dragon lying on the ground.
Outside the city wall, there were patches of land under cultivation.
Even though it was outside the protection of the towering city wall;
The Red Fog Disaster Moon event and monster attack had just finished;
However, the farmers cultivating the land did not seem to show much worry or fear on their faces. They toiled and sweated, yet smiles appeared on their faces.
Ahead of them stood arrow towers, and elite soldiers clad in full armor patrolled back and forth.
“Indeed, it’s a supreme sense of security.”
Lord Zhou Ye was overflowing with envy.
A formidable figure, who likely was a junior commander, led a dozen elite soldiers toward them.
Zhou Ye greeted him, stating his purpose and identity.
“So, you’re Lord Zhou Ye. Please, come with me.”
The one speaking was one of the three vampires who entered the territory with Sario.
The current Count Vampire, ‘Rob’.
In the Tianyuan Territories, he barely qualified as a junior commander.
Although he was undead, since he was clever and was attached to the defensive troops, he was assigned to patrol and guard outside the South City Gate.
This was the safest area among the four gates of the city, but it was also the most likely to encounter visitors.
So, currently, Rob was entrusted with the duty of receiving guests.
After getting roughed up by the strong players of the territory, the three vampires lost their initial arrogance. They gradually matured and began to contribute to the Tianyuan territory.
Zhou Ye simply felt that this strongman was different from those he had met before.
He keenly noticed that the commander named Rob was indeed more powerful than him.
And Rob belonged to the line of Tianyuan, he wasn’t an externally hired player.
It seemed that Lord Mu had more than one or two of these close associates.
The gap, it really was too big.
Thinking of this, he could only feel envious.
He escorted the merchants towards the city gate, chatting with General Rob along the way. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.
Another merchant party?
No, wait, it seemed different. If it was a merchant party, then its configuration was too luxurious.
A squad of at least twenty imperial guards marched upfront to clear the path.
Looking back, you could vaguely see rare troops like Big Halberdiers, Mages, Knights and so on.
In the middle of the procession were two rune vehicles reaching seven to eight meters long. The vehicles hovered half a meter above the ground, pulled by several puppet war horses.
He vaguely recognized this as a type of cargo vehicle.
It also seemed like a merchant party.
Certainly, some merchant parties were grandly equipped and didn’t just use rock beasts for simple transportation.
He had seen such high-grade merchant parties in Shiling Town.
Seeing them in Shiling Town was quite reasonable, but encountering such a convoy in the outlying and remote territories of the Tai Xuan Alliance was highly unusual.
At the forefront young man wearing a blue robe.
He looked young, probably not over thirty, but he exuded an imposing aura as if he usually held a high position.
This man, coincidentally, was familiar to Lord Zhou Ye.
Among the lords and players living around Shiling Town, who didn’t know this person?
“The town chief of Shiling Town, the official lord who governs the surrounding territories, Mayor Cui Long!”
There are quite a few official lords, but Mayor Cui is one of the core officials among them.
Although the territory governed by Mayor Cui Long is still a level four town, Mayor Cui is very young. Shiling Town has only been established for three to four years.
It is said that within half a year, Shiling Town will be promoted to Shiling City.
How could Mayor Cui Long, a lord with high position and great prospects, appear here?
Upon seeing Mayor Cui arrive, Zhou Ye couldn’t turn a blind eye, he stopped at the roadside to wait.
‘General’ Rob naturally welcomed Mayor Cui.
Zhou Ye also took this opportunity to remind Mayor Cui of his existence by striking up a conversation.
“It’s you, Young Zhou. I remember you.”
Red Leaf Territory is a pioneer territory in his jurisdiction, so naturally, Cui Long remembered Lord Zhou Ye.
With his words, Zhou Ye’s smile brightened even more.
“What brings you here?”
