While Fang Yuan waited for the Wolf Hunter to bring back news.
On a hillside hundreds of kilometers away from his main city.
With bursts of upgrade light flashing.
Walls, watchtowers, and barracks suddenly rose from the ground.
As the white light dissipated.
An outpost military stronghold covering about fifty mu was quickly completed.
This was clearly a military stronghold built at high speed.
To be able to upgrade buildings in such a short time.
The Lord who built this stronghold must have used quite a few Mobilization Orders.
These things were rare, only produced at high-level resource points.
And the output quantity was not high.
Their use was to shorten the upgrade time of buildings and the production time of troop units.
Mobilization Orders also had quality tiers; higher tiers produced fewer but had better acceleration effects.
Unless it was for special external expansion operations.
Otherwise, few Lords would be willing to use high-level Mobilization Orders to upgrade outposts.
And judging from the level of the completed stronghold.
It was definitely no lower than level five.
To upgrade all buildings in the stronghold to level five in such a short time.
The number of Mobilization Orders consumed would definitely be considerable.
However, this place was in the Northern Territory, and without the novice invincibility period.
The surrounding monsters would not give human outposts any time to develop.
It was just strange.
Why would someone choose to build an outpost in this desolate Northern Territory wilderness.
And at the edge of the most dangerous Gloom Forest.
And at this moment.
A sound came from the sky.
Immediately after.
A formation composed of ten Griffons and ten Wyverns landed within the stronghold.
And soon.
Two familiar figures walked out of the stronghold's teleportation array.
They were the third and fourth brothers from Blondie's group who had previously accepted the bounty.
These few were kindred spirits and reckless youths back on Earth.
After entering the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, they not only managed to survive by chance.
They even joined a pretty good alliance, the Crimson Flame Alliance.
The boss among them had even managed to become a minor administrator, gaining some status on the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.
It was much better than being looked down upon every day back on Earth.
Because of this, after their petty success, the few of them became even more arrogant.
Coupled with the lack of legal constraints on the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.
They had done their fair share of morally questionable deeds, even frequently taking assassination jobs.
The bounty that the Gondor branch of the Artisan Alliance had posted targeting Fang Yuan was taken by them.
However, the main reason the third and fourth brothers came to the Northern Territory this time was not to deal with Fang Yuan.
But because they had received a mission from the Crimson Flame General Alliance.
To go to the Northern Territory to find intelligence on the Golden Flower Family's pioneering territory.
It was rumored that this involved a high-level chain quest.
Once found, the reward would be at least one Orange item.
Money moved people's hearts.
The greatest characteristic of these reckless youths was their boldness and fearlessness of death.
Without regard for how dangerous the Northern Territory was, they directly accepted the mission.
Subsequently, seeing their decisiveness, the General Alliance even provided them with ten Orange Griffon Soldiers and ten Orange Wyvern Soldiers as support.
At this moment.
The third and fourth brothers, having just exited the teleportation array, opened their Lord's Mark to initiate a holographic communication.
"Boss, our forward outpost has been upgraded to level five. We've moved in with the Griffons and Wyverns."
The eldest among the group of spirited youths was named A'ming.
His fierce expression was mainly due to a vicious scar near his eye.
However, the scar wasn't from a fight, but from falling off an electric scooter.
Upon hearing the news, A'ming's face lit up with joy.
"Third and Fourth, you've done well. A level five outpost is enough to withstand attacks from ordinary tribal-level monsters."
"But this mission is crucial for our future. Here's what we'll do: I'll allocate another 300,000 gold coins, 300,000 resources, ten Red Mobilization Orders, and thirty Blue Mobilization Orders. Your priority is to upgrade the city walls by one level as quickly as possible. Simultaneously, produce at least an army of 2,000, primarily composed of Blue quality soldiers, with a portion of Red quality as the main force."
"Once the army is fully assembled, I'll teleport a Purple Hero to lead a Purple troop to support you."
"With this strength, we won't be invincible, but searching for information in the Northern Territory shouldn't be a problem."
"What do you think of this arrangement?"
The third brother pondered for a moment before asking.
"Boss, the task of finding the Golden Flower family is a long-term one, so your plan is fine."
"We have another mission here."
"Find Fang Yuan!"
"According to your plan, upgrading the city walls to level six and producing 2,000 troops, even with the Mobilization Orders, will take at least half a month. If we wait that long to act, the young lord named Fang Yuan might have already turned to bone."
At this point, the fourth brother also chimed in.
"Yeah, boss."
"And if we want to get the Talent Scroll as soon as possible, it's best to find him before he uses it or sells it."
"Otherwise, once it's used or sold, we'll likely have wasted our efforts."
A'ming nodded repeatedly at their words.
"That makes sense. What do you think we should do?"
The third and fourth brothers exchanged glances and then looked at the second brother, who had been silent until now.
That would be Blondie, among them.
"Blondie has a Purple quality Ranger Hero."
"It's perfect for searching for people in the Northern Territory forests."
"Additionally, Blondie has the only Slave Hunter troop among us."
"They are also skilled at operating in forests."
"Send his hero and troop over first to enter the Northern Territory and search."
"While searching for Fang Yuan, they can also help scout the map."
"This will also make it easier for us to find the Golden Flower family's pioneer territory later."
As the third and fourth brothers spoke, they directly pulled Blondie into the conversation.
Blondie, who was merely watching the scene unfold, was now filled with astonishment.
He knew the dangers of the Northern Territory.
His own territory only had one Purple troop and one Purple hero.
The Purple troop was manageable, but if this Purple hero died, he would lose everything.
Blondie might be reckless, but he wasn't stupid! He wasn't going!
He was about to refuse, but A'ming, the boss, spoke first.
"That makes sense."
"Blondie!"
"You know the importance of the Talent Scroll, right? It concerns all of our futures."
"With talent, we can go further in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield in the future."
"How about this: regardless of whether we find it this time, I'll give you a Purple recruitment material in the future."
"Besides, the dangers of the Northern Territory are just legends."
"It's actually not that dangerous, don't be scared!"
"Your Ranger and Slave Hunter troops are suitable for that area, go ahead and teleport there now."
A'ming, as the boss, always had the final say.
The few ghost-fire youths were also exceptionally loyal to him.
Upon hearing their boss's command, Blondie opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately nodded in resignation.
"Alright, for the Talent Scroll, let's go for it!"
It was a shame they didn't know that the Talent Scroll they yearned for had long since become Fang Yuan's talent, and his only Dark Gold Talent at that.
He had even completed the Prayer and obtained a Golden Curio.
And recruited a Golden Hero.
If they knew this, they'd probably spit blood.
However, it shouldn't be too long before they discovered this.
From here, they could search for Fang Yuan's Main City.
If they deployed their search power to its fullest, They could find it in about three days at most.
If they were a bit slower, it would still be five days at most.
They would be able to discover Fang Yuan's Main City.
After all, the Purple Soldiers on the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield were extraordinary units with fast movement speeds.
Of course, this was theoretical speed; actual marching, along with various terrains, monsters, and other unexpected factors, Would inevitably take longer.
But with Fang Yuan's current strength, By the time they found him then!
They would likely receive not a great surprise, but a fright!!!
And just as Blondie was slowly sending his troops into the forward outpost via the teleportation array, Inside Fang Yuan's Main City, The scouting Wolf Hunters finally returned.
"Report!"
"My Lord."
"We have investigated the Grim Gnoll Tribe and gathered intelligence!"
Headache + coughing, especially the headache. I write for a bit and then stop.
I should be better in a couple of days.
