As system notification appeared, the entire regional channel fell into silence.

Not a single new message was seen in the channel, where just moments ago a tumultuous argument was taking place.

The last message, much like a public execution, lingered there.

Everyone knew.

In this lawless world, as time passed, territories expanded.

Everyone was a competitor.

But most people were still restraining themselves, silently developing their own territories.

Even if there were disputes, they’d vent in the Book of Lords. And since nobody knew the location of anyone else’s territory, safety could be ensured.

But now, for the next 24 hours, the position of surrounding territories could be viewed. You’d know who your neighbors were.

Many people had crossed over in the same time, what if one of them was a hothead?

Or maybe, you had an enemy who looked forward to purchasing the location of your territory!

After the prompt sounded, everyone felt uneasy.

Thinking back to whether they had offended anyone, whether someone would come to make trouble.

“Cough! Brother, it was all a misunderstanding, I just happen to have a Rejuvenation Spring here, I’ll trade it to you.”

“Fine, we all came from Earth, let’s live in harmony.”

“Exactly! I’m initiating a trade now, I’ll add 5 units of meat to it, to help your injured villagers recover.”

“Good!”

Just moments ago these two were screaming and shouting at each other, now they suddenly showered each other with love. The abrupt change of attitude was hard to digest.

At this moment, others also began to speak up in the channel.

“I’ve never offended anyone, my territory has no resources, I beg the big shots for mercy.”

“My territory is surrounded by a large number of monsters, no one would come attack me, right?”

“I feel that everyone does not need to worry. If someone really wants to attack a territory, they’d have to think whether they could win. And, after they dispatch their troops, what if their base is stolen? This task isn’t a compulsory one, everyone should still exercise restraint.”

“Indeed, everyone should exercise restraint. This task isn’t compulsory.”

“Damn it, why is my heartbeat racing? No, I have to be more careful.”

Upon receiving the mission,

Fang Hao immediately looked at the map in the Book of Lords.

As expected, two special markings had appeared on the territory map.

It seemed that these markings explored a certain range centered around own territory. Territories within that range would be marked on the map.

One was in the east, the other in the west.

The one in the east was Zhang Bin’s territory, Fang Hao passed by more than once.

And the territory in the west belonged to a lord named Li Teng.

Fang Hao just had a brief look, without any intentions of invading the two. First, he was confident in his own strength, secondly, there was the looming threat of the Skullcrusher Tribe.

As long as these two didn’t court death, he couldn’t be bothered about them.

If he wanted to take over their territories, Fang Hao could do so at any time.

To compete with his tens of thousands of arm forces, their measly thirty or twenty forces were simply not in the same league.

Just as he closed the map, Fang Hao’s private chat started buzzing continuously.

“Boss, Quick! I want to buy 20 iron spears, and 20 sets of leather armor.”

“Fang Hao, I want to buy 30 iron swords.”

“Fang Hao, 20 sets of leather goods for me.”

It seemed that this sudden event had brought quite a bit of pressure on everyone.

From the messages to buy equipment, their nervousness was apparent.

There were too many private chat messages, and Fang Hao could only reply 20 times, not nearly enough to get back to everyone.

Simply put, initiating direct trades with others right away, without replying to all messages.

After finishing the private chats, Fang Hao pondered for a moment, feeling this was a great opportunity to make money.

He quickly finished his meal and walked out of the Stone Tower.

He crafted 30,000 each of Iron Swords, Iron Spears, and Leather Armors, including the equipment obtained from eradicating the Gnoll Tribe, and put them all for sale on the regional channel.

In addition to trading for resources, the priority was Blueprints.

“Damn it! Fang Hao is a big businessman, every time he sells in thousands.”

“Too bad, there are no green gear on Fang Hao’s list.”

“I should buy some, in case someone picks on me, at least I’ll have some protection.”

“Indeed, it’s a problem.”

Meanwhile.

In the territory to the west of Fang Hao’s territory,

Li Teng’s fists clenched, looking at the territory that suddenly appeared on the map, his eyes were filled with madness and malice.

He directly opened the Alliance channel: “My territory is near Fang Hao’s. If you all support me, I will dispatch troops tomorrow morning and kill Fang Hao directly.”

Li Teng’s grudge with Fang Hao was kind of laughable.

The last time someone verbally attacked Fang Hao on the channel, he chimed in with a sarcastic comment.

As luck would have it, Fang Hao happened to be checking the channel, he added Li Teng to the banned trading list almost reflexively.

Later, those who were banned grouped together to form this Green Dragon Trade Association.

Apart from mutual support,

They also shared a common enemy, that was Fang Hao.

Upon discovering Fang Hao’s territory appearing on his own map, he decided to use this opportunity to eradicate Fang Hao.

“Really? What kind of support do you need?”

“We don’t know how powerful Fang Hao is. These days his sales of equipment are in tens of thousands, he may be a tough nut to crack.”

“Ha! You don’t actually believe Fang Hao has tens of thousands of soldiers, do you? He must have gotten some special opportunity allowing him to get all that damaged equipment. Didn’t you see the group chat saying that the equipment had all been used before!”

Looking at the squabbling within the alliance channel, Li Teng spoke up.

“Gather 200 Soul Crystals for me, as much iron resource as possible. I am confident of eradicating Fang Hao.” After saying this, Li Teng posted a photo and troop information [Great Sword Infantry (Tier 4)] in the channel.

Li Teng wasn’t blindly confident, he really possessed substantial strength.

When most others in the channel were still at Level 2 or 3 of their Lords’ Mansions, he had already advanced to Level 4.

And with the opportunity that came his way, he obtained a building enabling him to recruit Tier 4 Great Sword Infantry.

If Fang Hao hadn’t been so dazzling, Li Teng would have been the chosen one.

“Li Teng, you even have Tier 4 troops, why didn’t you say so earlier.”

“Wow, Brother Teng is too powerful, with Tier 4 troops, eradicating Fang Hao is a piece of cake.”

Seeing the Tier 4 troops, everyone instantly became eager to assist.

Li Teng continued: “Enough talking, if you’re willing to give me the Soul Crystals and iron resources, do so immediately. And if you have good equipment, trade it to me. After occupying Fang Hao’s territory, the spoils of war will be divided proportionately.”

“Okay, I have 12 Soul Crystals here, and another 50 units of iron.”

“I have some here too…”

People started pooling their resources, waiting to eradicate Fang Hao, who was ranked first in the region, and take his resources.

Early the next morning,

Fang Hao woke up on time, stretched lazily, and got out of bed.

Just as he stepped out of the door, he saw Eira running in somewhat panic-stricken.

Seeing Fang Hao, she stammered, still somewhat frightened: “Master, over there, a giant creature has appeared..”
