Getting to the Other Side

"Thank goodness it wasn't a real battle. I should really keep a low profile in the future. Otherwise, if I mess with an opponent like this, who knows what might happen."

Xiao Qian's main force was overwhelming; he heard that some players had filmed the scene, but unfortunately he hadn't seen it.

Just then, a message came from his teammate in his private chat channel.

Your Ni Ma Oh: "Ni Ma Oh idiot, what did you do? All your points are gone!"

Mie Mie: "Golden Finger!!!!!"

Your Ni Ma Oh: "I xxxxxxxxxx (swear word)"

My Give Me Gold Finger broke out in a cold sweat and quickly replied, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't expect them to be so amazing. Waaah, please forgive me."

Your Ni Ma Oh, "I'll forgive you my foot! We haven't even discussed what happened last time. You're now responsible for all the chores in the garden."

Give Me Gold Finger: "..."

Chapter 175 To the Other Side

Two days later, at the northernmost part of the forest.

Clang! Clang clang!

After striking the last few times with the hammer, the farmer stood up, looked at the last section of rail in front of him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and nodded with a great sense of accomplishment.

"I have completed the task assigned by Lady Ye Qian ahead of schedule. I will go and ask her for a leave of absence today."

Behind the tall farmer, another short farmer heard these words and looked at them with disdain. "Then you should go on vacation. I will definitely find a way to apply for a mission to follow the leader and admire her beauty every day."

"Oh, this."

The tall farmer was speechless.

A few seconds later, the person who had shown disdain sighed, "Never mind, I can't get it."

Just as they were complaining, a metal train slowly pulled up in the distance.

With a rhythmic sound, the vehicle quickly approached and eventually stopped beside them.

Dozens of people jumped down from above, one of whom was Ye Qian.

"Your Excellency, the Leader."

The two farmers immediately knelt on the ground.

"Well done." Ye Qian didn't expect these farmers to be so hardworking. Not only did they not slack off, but they also finished their work ahead of schedule.

After speaking, Ye Qian glanced at the area behind the railway tracks, where some work was completed and farmers were walking towards them. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Are you all very tired now?"

"Not tired at all," the short farmer replied immediately.

"Then... help me with some simple tasks. This area will be a key development area in the future, so let's build a batch of exquisite wooden houses, construct more arrow Arrow Tower, and create a port on the coast."

Across the sea, one can see the coastline faintly visible dozens of kilometers away.

That's the Main Continent, the battlefield where most of the current contestants are fighting.

Ye Qian talked with Little Orange again today, mainly to inquire about the situation of the other contestants.

According to the other party, "Most of the Overlord we face may be absolute rulers in their own worlds, but it is still quite difficult for them to project their power across space. So apart from a few powerful gods, most of them may not expand their power very quickly."

"Um."

After Ye Qian replied, she felt a little more confident.

During the day, the soldiers thoroughly looted the lord's port city that they had previously captured, obtaining money worth 12,000 silver coins.

Although it wasn't as wealthy as some of the lord cities in the Kalu World, it was still a significant improvement for Ye Qian.

Thus, six Berserker of the Black Iron Rank were born.

Her forces now include 12 Berserker.

"We can recruit 5 more, but if we only bring a dozen or so people and head towards the Main Continent, we'd be asking for trouble."

As she was thinking this, another 50-carriage train, filled with soldiers, slowly pulled up.

Because of its increased weight, the deceleration process was very long. When it arrived at the side, behind the car that Ye Qian had been sitting in, the car happened to stop.

Then a large number of archers jumped down from above.

300 people.

"Everyone, please clear out the surrounding area of any wild animals. Be careful."

"Yes!"

These Elite Magic-Equipped Archer received orders and immediately began their operation in squads of 20.

There are many Black Iron Rank monsters in this area, especially in the forests along the train route.

Encountering even one of them would be fatal for the warriors.

This highlights the advantage of archers as ranged attackers.

Unless the monster has lost its mind, approaching it alone is a death charge.

This elite group of archers quickly cleared out the monsters in the surrounding area.

Back home, more than 1,000 kilometers away, thousands of farmers are now building a second railway track.

This is the way back.

Before they were all built, truck after truck transported more Elite Magic-Equipped Archer over.

A base will be set up every 100 kilometers along the route.

The main force moved back and forth between the outposts, attacking Gnoll they encountered.

In fact, the railway tracks had been destroyed by the Gnoll multiple times in the past two days, and most of the time, Ye Qian's army was unable to reach the scene before the enemy could escape.

But she didn't care. She could just repair it later. The important thing was that whenever she was alerted to an enemy's appearance, she could eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible if they were close by.

When he arrived, in the eyes of other players, the area along the railway track, and the surrounding 2 kilometers, were marked as Ye Qian's actual control range.

She built some cheap Watchtower along the way, which also expanded the area.

Those players knew how powerful Ye Qian was, so they didn't dare to touch her territory.

Ye Qian generously allowed everyone to pass over her tracks, as long as they didn't interfere with transportation.

This approach is truly disheartening for the Gnoll nowadays.

Because of several consecutive battles, their population loss has unknowingly reached 70,000 to 80,000.

Ye Qian's side even gained 5 more Black Iron Rank Berserker as a result, and also recruited a batch of troops to help patrol the railway.

The various tribes of the Gnoll were forcibly separated by this railway.

Sometimes they would send small groups of troops to destroy the railway.

But soon, a group of archers riding in Iron-Clad Cart would arrive nearby and quickly launch an attack on them.

If the Gnoll send out a large force, it won't be long before an army of at least several thousand people arrives.

Later on, they no longer needed to destroy the railway tracks. Ye Qian's army was like having a cheat code activated, sending out troops to come to them on their own initiative.

The only reason Amia could do this was because she flew up into the sky to patrol.

Two days later, Ye Qian had accumulated 20 Berserker.

She summoned Italin to the northernmost coastal territory and said to her, "You'll be in charge of this place from now on. I'm taking the army to the other side."

"Yes!"

Although she was a little worried about Ye Qian's safety, she chose to obey, considering the other party's extraordinary abilities.

At this time, a simple port had been built on the seashore.

This was built by several thousand farmers, and it also had three ships on board, which transported several 100mm Magic Crystal Cannons.

Nine of these cannons were mounted on the ships, while the remaining ten were installed around the harbor to serve as gun emplacements.

"Basic defenses should be in place. Ships of this era certainly can't withstand these Magic Crystal Cannons. However, just to be on the safe side, let's build more turrets later."

Ye Qian glanced at the ships and then looked back at the situation behind her.

"Everyone, prepare to board the ship."

"Yes!"

Twenty Berserker and six hundred archers began to walk along the suspended planks beside them onto the ship.

Ye Qian herself jumped up as well.

"Let's set sail."

According to Little Orange, the overall strength of the Main Continent far surpasses that of the isolated island.

Major powers definitely control the majority of strong individuals, while wild monsters... in more ordinary areas, they should be similar to those in the mountains of the isolated island.

"If it's like in the mountains, it means that many creatures are above LV10, and elite units or Black Iron Rank will appear frequently."

Ye Qian let out a breath.

"If you don't encounter that kind of organization, everything is fine."

The first batch of troops was to go to the other side to explore. If the situation was good, then they would transport artillery, build a port on the other side, and create a small town.

Using cities as bases, the next focus will be on expansion towards the Main Continent.

After sailing at sea for half an hour, the three ships reached the other side.

Ye Qian stood on the deck, gazing into the distance.

This is a beach.

Beyond the beach lies a dense jungle.

The environment is undoubtedly a forest, but its overall style is quite different from that on the other side of the river.

Perhaps the long period of isolation between the two landmasses led to the evolution of different organisms.

Looking down, Ye Qian saw Amia rubbing against her leg. She squatted down and hugged her.

Held up to her eyes, and with a quick lick, Amia, her big, kind eyes wide, licked her little face.

"Okay, stop sticking your tongue out all the time, only dogs do that."

Ye Qian was both amused and exasperated.

If I stick out my tongue too, wouldn't the two of us end up tongue-twisting?

Judging from Amia's expression, she probably doesn't mind; on the contrary, she seems to feel close to her.

"She's so cute. It's a good thing her biological mother is gone; if she knew her daughter had been taken away..."

Touching the little dragon's head and looking at its adorable little face, Ye Qian walked to the grill next to her and picked up a large piece of meat that had just been cooked.

"Awoo."

Little Amia put the meat in her mouth, completely ignoring the greasiness, and swallowed it with her little mouth wide open.

Ye Qian stretched out two fingers and grasped her tender, chubby little hand.

"My daughter is so cute."

Upon hearing the praise from the "fake mother," the dragon's tail immediately began to wag happily.

Jump!

Ye Qian gently jumped down.

The archers who were watching this scene from behind exchanged glances and then jumped down as well.

On the ship beside them, the Berserker had already stepped onto the soft sand.

"I feel that the suppression here is indeed a bit stronger."

She is currently controlling Ye Qian No. 3, and has not yet advanced. She can feel the omnipresent pressure of Pollution in the air targeting her.

After drinking a bottle of Water of Purification, the Pollution level dropped significantly.
