Chapter 943 - 45: Inheriting an Unclaimed Territory and Making a Fortune

So it’s not surprising that there are so many soldiers and farmers left in the territory.

As they say, even among dwarfs, there’s a tall one.

Although most of the fallen Lords were fairly ordinary in strength,

there are still some outstanding ones among them.

The Flying Tiger landed smoothly in the central area of the territory.

Just outside the Lord’s Courtyard.

Those warriors and farmers were in an ownerless state at that moment.

So they wouldn’t resist.

Even the Defense Arrow Towers standing in the territory were the same.

"Look, this is an unclaimed territory that can be inherited."

Zong Shen said with a sense of pride.

Jiang Yi didn’t know how he found such an unclaimed territory.

But with Zong Shen’s abilities, finding the exact locations of several unclaimed territories was really not difficult.

However, Jiang Yi underestimated our Mr. Zong in this regard.

Because what he knew wasn’t just a few unclaimed territories’ locations.

Relying on the powerful Guide Module.

He could almost know all the unclaimed territories in the area.

If he wanted, he could go to every unclaimed territory.

But he also noticed something earlier.

That is, the number of unclaimed territories marked with the Golden Circle is slowly decreasing.

Because the Guide Module thoughtfully displayed the specific quantity of marks in the upper right corner.

During their journey to this territory, the number of marked unclaimed territories decreased by three.

This decrease in speed isn’t fast,

but it is inevitable.

Because these unclaimed territories will gradually be discovered by the surrounding Lords.

So Zong Shen plans to seize the time and at least pluck away those ten most valuable unclaimed territories first.

Excluding those buildings, just the remaining farmers and warriors can be considered a good harvest.

"Let’s be clear upfront,"

"I want the special buildings within the territory, including the Market."

"You can take 1/4 of the warriors and farmers, the rest belong to me."

"As for the resources and weapon equipment, let’s split them 50-50."

Zong Shen said in a relaxed tone.

His plain words carried an unquestionable tone.

After all, tonight’s action could be seen as Zong Shen giving Jiang Yi some benefits.

It didn’t matter if she was here or not.

But at least Jiang Yi was his representative in the Guides Corps.

And the Legion is a tool for Zong Shen to dominate the area in the future.

The Legion rules are constrained by the Lord System, making it easier for Zong Shen to control those Lord members.

To dominate this world, in addition to unifying the Indigenous People, it’s also necessary to unify the Lords.

After Indigenous People join his ranks, there’s loyalty or affinity as a bond,

while the Lords prefer freedom and leisure.

To make these restless guys fully submit, more or less reliance on the Legion rules is needed.

Zong Shen had already prepared for these situations.

Therefore, both publicly and privately, he needed to cultivate Jiang Yi.

To be his spokesperson required enough strength as support.

Zong Shen of course wouldn’t use his own resources to specifically subsidize Jiang Yi.

But actions like inheriting an unclaimed territory tonight were a good opportunity.

After all, these were extra gains.

Giving some to Jiang Yi was a win-win solution.

While plucking wool, it also solved the issue of supporting Jiang Yi.

Without bleeding himself, it also achieved the goal of enhancing Jiang Yi’s strength.

With this mindset and principle, Zong Shen deliberately brought along Jiang Yi.

However, Jiang Yi’s thoughts were different from Zong Shen’s.

The unexpected benefits filled her heart with more fear and gratitude than greed.

Partially because Zong Shen’s strength was far superior to hers.

At least in this area, no one knew more about Zong Shen’s true strength than she did.

And it was precisely because of this understanding that she feared him.

The more she knew, the deeper the fear became.

As for the distribution, she had no objections at all.

"Everything will be according to your arrangement, sir."

"I have no opinion on the distribution."

Jiang Yi hastily added.

Zong Shen was very satisfied with her attitude and nodded his head.

No wonder she’s a woman who came from the Starting Point Orphanage.

She has some insights after all.

In distribution, only Mr. Zong has the right to set the terms, with no room for anyone else to bargain.

"Very well, let’s start the division."

"Reese, open the Shadow Wormhole and connect the territory."

Zong Shen waved his hand, signaling everyone to start taking action.

Reese Ulysses immediately activated the Shadow Wormhole passage.

Zong Shen quickly selected the buildings and transported them through the wormhole.

There weren’t many special buildings in this territory.

Zong Shen transferred two Tier Three Elemental Arrow Towers, one Tier Three Giant Crossbow Tower, and one Tier Three Moon Blade Tower.

Additionally, he moved the Tier Two Market into the territory.

As for other buildings, they weren’t of interest.

Three or four Defensive Arrow Towers were left.

Apart from these defense buildings, there were also Tier One and Tier Two ordinary Barracks, all of which were of little value.

Zong Shen even searched specifically, not finding any Alchemy Workshop or High-level Workshop buildings with production technology types.

The aspects of farming and animal husbandry were very simple.

Just a few prairie cows and sheep.

Besides, there were a few Basic-Level Fertile Lands.

Zong Shen wasn’t too interested in these.

As for warriors, a total of nine Wolf Cavalry were stationed in the territory.

And four Tier Three Dragon-kin Rangers.
