My troops evolve infinitely

"It's also a good opportunity to transform the financial resources in my hands into strength to better accompany me."

Thinking of this, Lord Mu began to practice immersively.

He is now also a fourth-level strongman, and it is time to look forward to becoming a legend.

……

After the red fog disaster month, it is the season for all things to grow.

Exchanges and trade between territories became much more frequent.

"This red fog disaster lasted for a month, and four of the seven surrounding territories were destroyed. It's tragic, so tragic."

A caravan of dozens of people stayed briefly outside a territory that had become ruins.

Lord Zhou Ye looked at the ruins in front of him and sighed.

From some perspectives, having less territory in the surrounding areas means less competitive pressure and more resources can be earned.

but,

Lord Zhou Ye couldn't feel happy at all, he only felt sad for the loss of his friend.

During the most ferocious phase of the Red Mist Disaster Month, he had almost collapsed. If he hadn't, would the ruins of Shiling Town be his?

"Don't think so much."

"The reason this Red Mist Calamity Month is so dangerous is mainly because our group of lords has only had so little time to develop and build. The next Red Mist Calamity Month will probably be a year or two away. By then, our Red Leaf Territory will definitely have sufficient self-defense capabilities."

His future is still promising!

He cannot be frightened by disasters. As a lord, he must have confidence.

The caravan continued on its journey. Their destination was the strongest territory in the surrounding area, located east of the swamp.

The territory of Lord Muyuan.

He had been here once before and witnessed the power and prosperity of the pastoral lord's family. He boasted that he had nothing worth showing off.

However, he could give some specialties from his own territory as gifts and use the excuse of doing business to build relationships.

After all, it is a powerful neighbor, so it is definitely a good idea to maintain good relations with it.

If they encountered any powerful monsters in the future, they could always seek reinforcements. Even if asking for help came at a cost, seeking assistance from a nearby lord would be simpler, faster, and potentially cheaper than hiring a corps from Shiling Town or even Rock City.

As he was thinking, Lord Zhou Ye had gradually entered the target area.

After the Red Mist Month, traveling in the wilderness was indeed much easier. Surprisingly, I had only encountered one elite monster along the way, a solitary wandering monster.

In the area east of the swamp, it is difficult to even see a single hair of the monster.

It was ridiculously clean all the way around.

After leaving the swamp, you can see some trampled dirt roads along the way, and the trees are much sparser.

A towering city wall appeared at the end of the sight, like a giant black dragon lying on the earth.

Outside the city walls are fields that are being cultivated.

This place is clearly outside the protection of the tall city walls;

It was only recently that the Red Mist Disaster Month and the monster attack on the city had passed;

But the farmers cultivating the land did not seem to have much worry or fear on their faces. They sweated and smiled.

Further ahead of them, there was an arrow tower standing, and elite soldiers in full armor patrolling back and forth.

"Indeed, it can give people an ultimate sense of security."

Lord Zhou Ye was extremely envious.

A strong man, probably a junior general, came over with a dozen elite soldiers.

Zhou Ye went forward and explained his purpose and identity.

"It turns out to be Lord Zhou Ye. Please follow me."

The one who spoke was one of the three vampires who had joined the same class as Sario.

Today's Vampire Count 'Robert'.

He can barely be considered a young general in Tianyuan.

Although he was born into the undead family, he is now affiliated with the garrison corps. Because he is quite smart, he is assigned to patrol and guard outside the South City Gate.

This is the safest area outside the four city gates, but it is also the area where visitors are most likely to be encountered.

Robert is now responsible for welcoming guests.

After being beaten by a group of powerful men in the territory, the three vampires no longer had the arrogance they had when they were born. They gradually grew up and began to shine for the Tianyuan Territory.

Zhou Ye just sighed that this strong man was different from the one he had met before.

He keenly realized that the general named Robert was even stronger than himself.

And Robert is a direct general of Tianyuan Territory, not a hired player.

It seems that there are more than one or two of these powerful direct descendants under Lord Mu.

The gap is indeed too big.

When he thought of this, he was left with only envy.

He led the caravan towards the city gate, chatting with General Robert along the way. Not long after, they heard movement in the distance.

It seems to be a caravan?

No wait, it doesn’t seem like it. If this is also the configuration of a caravan, it is too luxurious.

A group of at least twenty guards marched in the front to lead the way.

Later on, you can vaguely see rare types of soldiers such as halberd warriors, mages, knights, etc.

In the middle of the team were two rune vehicles, each seven or eight meters long. They hovered half a meter above the ground, pulled forward by several puppet warhorses.

He vaguely recognized that it was some kind of cargo vehicle.

It looks like a caravan.

It is true that some caravans are luxuriously equipped, rather than using simple tools like rock beasts to transport goods.

He had seen similar high-end caravans in Shiling Town.

It was reasonable to see it in Shiling Town, but it was very unreasonable to see such a caravan outside the outermost and most remote territory of the Taixuan Alliance.

In front of the caravan was a young man in a green robe.

He looked relatively young, seemingly no more than thirty years old, but he had an air of majesty without even getting angry, as if he were a big shot who had held a high position for a long time.

Coincidentally, Lord Zhou Ye knew this person.

Among the lords and players living in Shiling Town, who doesn’t know this person?

"The mayor of Shiling Town, the official lord over the surrounding area, Mayor Cui Long Cui!"

There are many official lords, but Mayor Cui is the most core group among them.

Although the territory governed by Mayor Cui Long is only a fourth-level town, Mayor Cui is actually very young, and Shiling Town has only been established for three or four years.

It is said that within a year or half a year, Shiling Town will be promoted to Shiling City.

Mayor Cui Long is a lord with great power and a promising future. How could such a big shot appear here?

Seeing Mayor Cui coming, Zhou Ye could not ignore him, so he stopped and waited by the roadside.

'General' Robert naturally went to meet Mayor Cui.

Zhou Ye also took this opportunity to make himself familiar to Mayor Cui and started a conversation with him.

"It's you, Xiao Zhou. I remember you."

Hongye Territory is a developed territory within the jurisdiction, so Cui Long naturally has some impression of the lord Zhou Ye.

When he said this, Zhou Ye's smile became even brighter.

But Mayor Cui's gaze was more focused on the territory not far away.

His purpose of coming here was very simple. It was not for business, but just a simple visit.

And thanks.

Chapter 286 Gift (4K)

Two teams, one large and one small, walked towards the south city gate together.

On the way, Lord Zhou Ye frequently looked to the side, very curious about the visit of Mayor Cui.

But since they don’t want to tell us, it’s not easy for us to ask.

Zhou Ye just couldn't help but keep guessing in his mind.

With his status as Mayor Cui Long, he didn't need to manage the Chamber of Commerce. The daily revenue of Shiling Town was an astronomical figure. Even if most of this revenue went to the official association, the remaining small amount made Mayor Cui Long richer than most city lords.

This is the status of a lord of an important town.

The position of a frontline town manager is something every official lord dreams of. Unfortunately, only a very small number of people can achieve this position.

Mayor Cui Long is one of them.

Even if Mayor Cui Long founded the Chamber of Commerce himself, he would not need to lead the team personally given his status.

Mayor Cui obviously came here on purpose.

He seemed to have brought quite a few things with him. What was he after? Could it be that Lord Mu had a powerful background and was a relative of some powerful figure?

Lord Zhou Ye could only think so. An ordinary second-generation lord would not need Mayor Cui's courtesy.

But even if he is the top second generation, it still doesn’t make sense for Mayor Cui to visit him in person, right?

...

Cui Long really doesn't need to have any connections with the so-called second generation.

He has the support of Taixuan officials and is also a core member of the official department. If you switch places, his conditions and channels for obtaining treasures are no worse than those of the top second generation.

He just doesn't have as much freedom as an independent lord. He has eyes watching him and needs to deal with a lot of things every day.
