Chapter 77 Squad Assembles [Please Subscribe]
It was early morning, before the sun had risen.
Xu Jiang sat in Chenguang Fort, listening to his subordinates' reports.
He had previously formed an alliance with Lin Mo, so he knew the approximate location of Lin Mo's territory. He also sent people to investigate, but the people who investigated came back saying that the place was nothing but ruins and empty land, and there was no territory at all.
"This is impossible!" Xu Jiang was stunned.
The rules of the new world cannot be wrong.
Lin Mo must have territory, and it must be in that location.
But why couldn't they find their own people?
"Could it be... a territory that can become invisible?" Xu Jiang's mind was racing at this moment, but he also knew that this guess was a bit too far-fetched. After calmly analyzing it carefully, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
It is also the only possibility.
"If it's not on the surface, then what about underground?" At that moment, he suddenly realized.
However, he did not send anyone to investigate further. After all, it wouldn't be good for Lin Mo to know about this. Besides, once he finished exploring this otherworld map, he could find an opportunity to visit Lin Mo's territory, and then everyone would know.
Xu Jiang really went to great lengths to enter the level two otherworld map this time.
He took away more than 80% of the troops in his territory.
150 units of spearmen, 70 units of archers, 50 units of lions, and 24 units of crusaders.
It can be said that this troop strength is quite formidable at this stage.
At this moment, a lord who had made an appointment with him arrived.
Before the cataclysm, Li Hong was a well-known local boss and entrepreneur. After the cataclysm, for some reason, he rose rapidly to become a famous lord in the area of Migratory Bird City. He even established his territory a day earlier than Xu Jiang.
The opponent's territory is a stronghold, characterized by its strength. This time, the opponent arrived riding a huge wolf mount, looking very imposing.
"Teacher Xu, I'm early." Li Hong looked fat and big-eared, and appeared to be in his forties. However, he had obviously received a physical enhancement after becoming a lord hero. After all, being promoted to lord hero in a stronghold would likely grant him the "barbarian" physique.
So it looks big and sturdy.
"I've brought all my savings this time for this otherworld map, Teacher Xu, so don't let me suffer a loss." Li Hong was a seasoned businessman, so he spoke with great skill. His unspoken message was to tell Xu Jiang that while they had a personal relationship, he couldn't compromise on their interests.
This time he brought nearly 300 units of goblins, also known as "Big-Eared Monster Kings," a Tier 1 unit for strongholds;
In addition, the Wolf Riders also brought nearly 80 units, but the Tier 3 Orcs were not brought, presumably to guard their territory. The opponent's territory also had Tier 4 unit buildings, but only 4 Tier 4 Ogres were brought, obviously they were just built not long ago.
I heard that the other side had occupied several troop recruitment buildings in the wild, so they were short of resources and their territory construction speed was obviously not as fast as Xu Jiang's.
Xu Jiang naturally greeted him with a smile. Li Hong was a very powerful lord he could find. However, Xu Jiang was also a little worried because the other lord he had invited didn't get along with Li Hong, and he hoped that no conflict would occur.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
Over there, another lord on horseback also arrived.
Zhao Yanbin, who was wearing a set of silver armor, was advancing to the lord hero path of knight because his territory also belonged to the castle.
Therefore, this person's mount and clothing both exude an air of nobility.
"Teacher Xu, I'm late." Zhao Yanbin greeted him. Xu Jiang was quite prestigious among the lords in the migratory bird city because he didn't get into conflicts with anyone and always tried his best to help others. He was very popular, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find so many helpers this time.
However, apart from Xu Jiang, the other local lords all had some conflicts and frictions over their interests.
For example, Li Hong and Zhao Yanbin.
Upon seeing Zhao Yanbin approach, the former snorted coldly, "Oh, isn't this Knight Zhao? It's been a while since you stole that gold mine from me. When are you going to return it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanbin retorted sharply: "Boss Li's words are baffling. Resource points belong to whoever occupies them first; that's the rule. What do you mean I'm stealing yours?"
"Heh, don't tell me I didn't discover it first."
"But I took it first. If you had taken it first, I would have turned around and left without saying a word. But you didn't. You just had a few underlings squatting next to you. Do you think this is reserving a parking space? At least you have to park a car first to reserve a parking space. There aren't even any bicycles. You only left two henchmen. According to your rules, if I let some of my henchmen out, then every spot they squat in is mine." Zhao Yanbin used to be a lawyer, and he was never one to mince words.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Xu Jiang quickly broke them up.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, one gold mine isn't enough. Let's get down to business and make some money together." Upon hearing this, both of them understood that the profits from this level-two otherworld map would be much greater than those from a gold mine.
Therefore, they all temporarily ceased their efforts.
"Besides you, I've also hired two helpers." After Xu Jiang finished speaking, Li Hong frowned: "Won't the profits from that map be reduced?"
This time, Zhao Yanbin surprisingly did not disagree with Li Hong, because he also felt that the more people there were, the more of the pie would be distributed.
"Actually, it's because I'm not confident. Nobody knows how dangerous the level 2 otherworld map is. In my opinion, we should mainly seek stability, so it doesn't matter if the profits are a little less. Besides, I've invited the most powerful lords in Migratory Bird City, so this is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other."
That's a very well-said statement; there's no fault with it.
Li Hong and Zhao Yanbin didn't say anything more.
The third to arrive was Lin Mo. When the skeletal warhorse entered Morning Light Fortress, Xu Jiang immediately went to greet it, which surprised Li Hong and Zhao Yanbin.
Just now, Xu Jiang wasn't this attentive to them.
Who is this person?
"Lord Lin, we've been waiting for you." Xu Jiang's politeness was entirely due to the level seven unit, the Crimson Dragon.
Without fully understanding and comprehending the rules of the new world, suddenly seeing a lord leading a level seven unit is quite a shock.
Xu Jiang pondered for a whole night and finally readjusted the order of his business partners.
Without a doubt, Lin Mo, with the help of the Crimson Dragon's power, directly ranked first.
It's not that Xu Jiang is snobbish, because this ranking has nothing to do with personal relationships, it's all based on merit.
That's how powerful a Tier 7 unit is.
He didn't deliberately show this difference, but some subconscious actions and attitudes still revealed it.
"Surname Lin...Never heard of him!" Li Hong thought for a moment about the current lords of the migratory bird city and shook his head.
On the other side, Zhao Yanbin had the same expression.
"We're just one person short." Xu Jiang checked the time, but after a while no one showed up, and the four of them started to get anxious.
Xu Jiang and Lin Mo were alright, but Li Hong and Zhao Yanbin had already started cursing.
At that moment, a lord arrived riding an ordinary undead horse.
He looked young, but his expression was arrogant—the kind of youthful arrogance you'd expect. This guy arrived, didn't even look at the others, and went straight to Xu Jiang, saying, "Teacher Xu, let's go."
He's getting a bit arrogant.
However, it's understandable. He looks to be under twenty years old and has already become a lord with territory and troops. People of that age are bound to be a little arrogant.
Xu Jiang still needs to introduce himself to everyone.
"This is Chen Wang, the youngest lord among us." After a brief introduction, Xu Jiang said, "Now that everyone is here, we can form a team contract. Then I will activate the otherworld map. Let me make it clear in advance that we should play it safe when entering the otherworld map this time. No one should be reckless. If there are any disagreements, we should follow Lord Lin's opinion."
