It was all his idea, he was covetous of your territory, so he asked me to attack with him.”
Miss Dong, don’t listen to his crap. The one who just acted like he was in heat wasn’t me. I was seduced by you and offended Miss Dong. I’m not human, I’m at fault, I’m not human…” The tall and thin man was more decisive, apologizing while slapping himself repeatedly in the face.
Seeing that behavior, Zhou Chengming felt like doing the same.
But with an injury on his left ear, he could only slap one side of his face, making loud noises just the same.
“Miss Dong,” the Blood Hunter called out.
“Oh, Lord Blood Hunter.”
Dong Jiayue didn’t know how to address him, but since he addressed Fang Hao as “Lord” just now, it didn’t seem wrong for her to do the same.
You could find the books in these guys’ possession useful.”
A skeleton troll removed the Books of Lords from their waists and handed them to Dong Jiayue.
Dong Jiayue appeared a bit bewildered.
She understood the functions of construction and manufacturing offered by the Book of Lords, but she didn’t know why she was given others’ books. Wasn’t having one the same as having three?
But the moment she accepted the Book of Lords, a system notification appeared before her eyes.
[The Book of Lords can be devoured.]
Then, the Book of Lords turned into little sparks and integrated into Dong Jiayue’s own Book of Lords.
[Successful devouring. Your Book of Lords is currently Level 2. Upgrade progress: 1/2.]
[You have gained control over Zhou Chengming’s territory.]
[Occupy/Abandon]
[Occupy: It will become your subsidiary territory and can continue to develop.] [Abandon: You will receive 50% – 80% of the territory’s resources and the territory will be abandoned.]
Occupy!
[You’ve occupied the subsidiary territory and now own it.]
[In the Book of Lords, you can appoint a ‘proxy governor.’]
Following the prompts, Dong Jiayue not only occupied their territory but also upgraded her Book of Lords in the process.
Only then did she understand the additional utility of the Book of Lords.
Later, she devoured the tall man’s Book of Lords too and took over his territory as well.
Moments later, the two men received the news of losing their territories.
Miss Dong, you’re our lord now. From now on we will respect and listen to you. We will correct our mistakes and become better people.”
“That’s right, Lord. We’re your subordinates now. Please give us another chance.” Zhou Chengming also pleaded loudly.
Dong Jiayue was a bit hesitant for a moment.
She was indeed very harsh just now, but it seemed hard for her to kill them herself.
Are you truly willing to change?” Dong Jiayue asked with a cold voice.
“We are, we are.” The two showed a glimpse of hope and quickly nodded, once again promising loudly.
Just as Dong Jiayue was about to speak, she saw the Blood Hunter nod at the soldiers below.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Swords’ icy glints flashed past, and hundreds of heads tumbled to the ground, including Zhou Chengming and the thin man’s.
Their heads rolled quite a distance with their mouths wide open, surprise and unwillingness in their eyes.
This…Lord Blood Hunter…” Dong Jiayue was somewhat startled as she looked at the Blood Hunter.
He continued speaking: “Miss Dong, the Lord has ordered me to leave twelve skeleton trolls under your charge. They will follow your orders and can also protect your safety.”
“Huh? Oh!” Dong Jiayue reflexively responded.
“Now that the danger is resolved, I’ll take my leave and will not interrupt Miss Dong anymore.”
“Oh!”
Blood Hunter got on the Bone Dragon and flew into the sky in an instant.
Twelve skeleton trolls in iron armor stood in place dumbstruck.
Dong Jiayue swallowed heavily and tried to issue an order: “Throw all the bodies out.”
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
The skeleton trolls started moving and threw all the bodies outside the city walls.
Seeing the skeletons following orders obediently, Dong Jiayue felt a surge of joy in her heart.
Even if the loyalty of her troops were low in the future, these skeleton trolls could protect her safety.
She quickly gained control over her territories.
Dong Jiayue gave another command, “Prepare a fire and some food. In half an
hour, follow me to claim those two subsidiary cities.”
“Yes, my Lord.”
The remaining soldiers started preparing the meal.
Regarding the other two newly occupied subsidiary cities, since there’s no certainty if there are any remaining enemies, extra caution is still necessary.
In the afternoon, Fang Hao returned to his territory.
He was lucky, as he had just completed two large orders in the Trade Alliance’s building, each one earning him several hundreds of thousands of Warfire Coins.
Just as he was marveling at how quickly he was earning money, a message from Dong Jiayue came through the Book of Lords.
“Brother Hao, thank you for the rescue, I’m safe now.”
“Good to hear you’re safe. No matter how strong you are, you still need to build your forces.” Fang Hao replied.
This was Fang Hao’s philosophy for development, and he wasn’t sure if it’d suit Dong Jiayue.
During large-scale battles, Fang Hao would hardly engage directly, instead using God’s Presence to command the battle from the rear, relying on brute numerical advantage.
Of course, Dong Jiayue doesn’t have the hundred-fold increase, but her inferior position this time can still be attributed to her insufficient forces.
Once a battle starts, nobody would care whether your situation is fair. They wouldn’t mind seeing you without troops.
“Yes, Brother Hao, I got it. Brother Hao, let me become one of your subsidiary cities and you can cover for me in the future.” Dong Jiayue suddenly proposed.
She had just acquired two other cities, earning a large amount of resources and upgraded her Book of Lords.
She d also realized the benefits of occupying territories.
Don t rush, the distance is too far. Concentrate on your development, we’ll talk about team trials or other events next time.” Fang Hao responded.
Fang Hao knew that for Dong Jiayue, being under his protection was just an excuse.
She probably wanted to repay him.
Of course, this was a good thing – for both Dong Jiayue and himself. However,
any immediate agreement was not necessary now.
The Blood Hunters haven’t returned yet, and the distance between their territories was too far.
“Oh, you’re right. We’ll talk about it later.” Although Dong Jiayue agreed, she
felt somewhat disappointed deep down.
Her offered affiliation was not eagerly accepted by him.
“Yes, stay vigilant. The skeleton troll I left for you doesn’t have morale or loyalty, you can command it to protect you in critical moments.”
“Got it, Brother Hao.”
Just as the conversation ended, Eira walked in.
“Master, the total amount after my tally is one million eight hundred and eighty thousand Warfire coins.”
Doujin and his group had been accepting orders during this period, completing the ones that they already had in stock without needing Fang Hao to manufacture the skeleton merchants.
The small treasury of Lord’s Mansion under Fang Hao was getting more and more Warfire Coins.
“Hmm.” Fang Hao looked at Doujin, and asked, “Doujin, if I want to buy something at the Trade Alliance station, I don’t have to carry all this money, do
Fang Hao planned to visit the Trade Alliance station, but carrying these 1.88 million Warfire Coins would be impractical.
“Lord, the Trade Alliance offers Warfire Cards, ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000. They can be exchanged for easy carrying and making purchases.” Doujin explained.
Upon his explanation, Fang Hao immediately understood.
Calling it a debit card may not be very accurate. It was more like a 100-doIIar voucher or 50-doIlar voucher.
Basically, you don’t need to carry 1,000,000 to go shopping. Instead, you can convert it into a Warfire Card.
Okay, exchange 1.5 million, and keep the rest in case we need it for other purposes.” Fang Hao said.
He was not worried about whether the Warfire Card would fail or whether his Warfire Coins would be cheated by the other party.
The Warfire Coin was a common currency launched by the Trade Alliance.
As you wish, Lord.” Doujin responded.
After some busyness, Fang Hao had several more Warfire Cards in his hand, which were crystal structure cards.
They looked something like membership cards of a certain club.
Eira, call Anjia over and tell her to accompany me to the Trade Alliance station.”
“Yes, master.”
“Doujin, give me a scroll to the Trade Alliance station, I’ll go there for a tour.”
Doujin took out a scroll and handed it to Fang Hao.
Soon, Anjia carrying some fruits walked in through the door.
Fang Hao immediately opened the scroll, and a pale white light screen appeared in front of him.
The two walked straight into it.
After a wave of dizziness, opening their eyes again, they found themselves at Retail Station No. 032 of the Trade Alliance.
The neatly paved stone paths and tidy green belts on both sides did look impressive.
This place was really nice.
Let’s go. Now that we have money, let’s see what good stuff the Trade Alliance store has.”
