Wow, an Orange Rare Building Card!

When they learned that the person using curses behind the scenes was actually Fang Yuan, the two were so shocked that they could not calm down for a long while.

Only after quite some time did Wei Xu speak.

"Alliance Leader, I just can't figure it out. Fang Yuan is only a Level 2 lord."

"How could he possibly—?"

Before he could finish, Zhao Yu cut him off.

"I just checked his territory level. It's Level 4!"

"In just one day, he went from a Level 0 lord to Level 4."

Wei Xu's mouth fell open when he heard this.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

Instead, Zhao Yu said, "Going from a Level 0 lord to Level 4 in a single day isn't particularly fast."

"As long as there are enough resources to support it, it could even be done in just an hour."

At that, Wei Xu suddenly understood.

"Fang Yuan has someone backing him?"

Then he answered his own question.

"That's right. This isn't the time for Blue Star Lords to descend on a large scale yet."

"Especially with the Undead Calamity ravaging the Gondor Kingdom."

"This is simply not a suitable time for new Blue Star Lords to descend. Coming here now would just be courting death!"

"Any lord who dared descend at a time like this was either a fool unafraid of death or someone with powerful backing!"

"We should have realized it from the moment he was able to produce an Orange Rare Demon Wolf Corpse at Level 2!"

As he spoke, Wei Xu slammed his palm hard onto the table.

He regretted his mistaken judgment.

Though part of it was an act for Zhao Yu to see, it was not entirely false.

After all, offending a High-level Lord with a powerful background could bring him unpredictable danger.

At that moment, Zhao Yu also let out a long sigh toward the sky.

He muttered, "Yes. Back then, the Orange Rare Mutated Source Crystal and the strange item clouded our judgment."

"Profit blinded us. We actually never considered this possibility."

"But it shouldn't be too late to realize it now."

"At least we haven't offended Fang Yuan beyond repair."

"Wei Xu, go to the Mercenary Hall and withdraw the bounty."

"Pay half the bounty as compensation."

"And list Fang Yuan as a top-tier Black Gold client."

Only then did Wei Xu remember the bounty he had posted.

He hurriedly said, "Right, right, we need to take it down immediately."

After fumbling to withdraw the bounty notice, he suddenly hesitated for a moment.

It seemed he had something to ask, but did not dare to say it.

Zhao Yu glanced at him and said, "Over this matter, I offended Fang Yuan, and you posted the bounty. We're tied together now; there's nothing we can't say."

"Whatever it is, say it."

Wei Xu pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Alliance Leader, which faction do you think Fang Yuan belongs to?"

"A small kingdom like Gondor couldn't possibly accommodate any major factions."

"Besides, ever since the last disastrous defeat in the resistance, all the factions have gone into hiding to recover."

"Even if someone with a powerful background entered at a time like this, they should have been kept safe within their own alliance's stronghold."

"Why would they let him roam freely in Gondor's northern borderlands?"

"That's one of Gondor's most chaotic and dangerous regions."

"Forget a Novice Lord—even we might not necessarily survive there for a month."

"If Fang Yuan truly had some extraordinary background, how could they possibly place him somewhere like the northern borderlands?"

"Could it be that we're overthinking this?"

Hearing Wei Xu's analysis, Zhao Yu's brows drew together slightly.

But then he let out a sigh.

"Your analysis makes sense."

"But it's no use."

"Fang Yuan has no backing, yet we still can't afford to offend him."

"If he does have backing, we can offend him even less!"

However, Wei Xu disagreed.

"Alliance Leader, if Fang Yuan has no backing, then entering the Northern Frontier was simply his own bad luck."

"He definitely won't be able to stay in the Northern Frontier for long. Once the novice invincibility period ends, he'll surely choose City Migration and move into the interior of Gondor."

"When that time comes!"

"We can deal with him slowly."

These words made Zhao Yu's eyes light up.

He paced back and forth for a moment before suddenly turning around.

"That makes sense!"

"Go on!"

Wei Xu immediately continued.

"If Fang Yuan has backing, then after City Migration, he'll definitely move into his alliance's territory."

"Then we'll be able to find out exactly who he is."

"Our Artisan Alliance isn't some pushover either."

"If they aren't that strong."

"What he swallowed, we'll make their alliance spit it all back out."

"If they're stronger than us."

"Then we can use this misunderstanding to show them goodwill in the future."

"Either way, we won't lose out."

Those words immediately brightened Zhao Yu's mood.

He clapped his hands and said.

"You're right!"

"No matter what happens, I'll still have room to maneuver afterward."

But Zhao Yu quickly thought of something else.

He suddenly asked.

"What if Fang Yuan doesn't migrate?"

"What if he develops in the Northern Frontier instead?"

"And his city isn't breached by monsters!"

"What then?"

This question caught even Wei Xu off guard.

He froze for a moment before saying.

"Impossible!"

"No Novice Lord can hold their ground in the dangers of the Northern Frontier."

"As far as I know, every winter, the Northern Frontier sees a beast tide."

"Endless Beastmen, the Beastmen Legion sweeping across the Northern Frontier."

"Unless they're exceptionally powerful level-eight or level-nine lords, ordinary lords simply can't hold them back."

"Besides!"

"This year's Undead Calamity has begun spreading into the Northern Frontier as well."

"When winter arrives, with the Undead Calamity and the beast tide together!"

"Let alone a Novice Lord like him—even a level-nine lord would have to think twice."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu dismissed the thought as well.

"That's right, how could he possibly withstand the Undead Calamity and the beast tide?"

"He can't remain in the Northern Frontier."

"Eventually, he'll have to migrate south!"

"As long as he moves into the heartland of Gondor."

"This is our home ground!"

"I'll make him pay back tenfold for everything I lost today!"

"Especially my Orange Rare Building Card!"

"I spent an entire year collecting fragments before I finally gathered enough!"

"And Fang Yuan took it all today!"

"I will have my revenge for this!!!"

Zhao Yu practically shouted those last few words through gritted teeth.

Wei Xu, standing beside him, felt a little schadenfreude upon hearing this.

But he also felt sorry for Zhao Yu.

"Yeah, that was an Orange Rare building—the Mystic Hall."

"That isn't a building just any lord can possess!"

"I've been trying for four or five years, and I still haven't even collected half the building fragments!"

Those words were practically another blade stabbing viciously into Zhao Yu's heart.

He roared viciously.

"Fang Yuan!"

"Just you wait!"

"One day, I'll take back everything I lost today!!!"

Meanwhile, inside the Wasteland Territory Lord's Hall.

Fang Yuan opened the two Orange Building Cards.

An exaggerated expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Holy shit!"

"One is an Orange Building Magic Crossbow Tower!"

"And the other one!!!"

"It's actually an Orange Rare building—the Mystic Hall!!!"
