Ambush of the Guardian of the Mountains!

The Shannan Kingdom's envoy tried to make a grand show of his arrogance.

As a result, he was "invited" out immediately.

The meaning behind Black Stone Duchy's move.

Was enough for anyone with eyes to see the storm gathering before the wind filled the towers!

The day after the celebrations ended.

Quite a few "clever people".

Started moving their assets out of Black Stone Duchy.

Most of them moved their assets to Seaton Duchy or more distant nations.

Black Stone Duchy.

Took a laissez-faire approach to the matter.

You couldn't force everyone to love your country.

But there was no doubt that all these "clever people" would end up on a separate list.

If they didn't love their country, they naturally wouldn't enjoy its love in return.

That was only fair, wasn't it?

January 5.

The shipborne Torch had finished buffering.

Dark Peng was ready to set out once more.

For this trip to the Otherworldly Space battlefield.

Wang Dong didn't use the Auxiliary System's "Otherworldly Battlefield Coordinate Record" function.

For one thing, the Otherworldly Space Signal Beacons still in existence.

Had almost nothing of value left to plunder.

For another.

It had been a long time since they had entered a normal, randomly assigned Otherworldly Space battlefield.

To explore new "virgin territory".

They still had to rely on this method.

However.

This Otherworldly Space battlefield had not lived up to Wang Dong's expectations.

What Dark Peng encountered.

Was an exploration fleet.

From a level-seven civilization.

Dark Peng used a "flush them out" tactic.

In other words, it sank most of the fleet.

Then let the remaining few escape.

Of course, the ships of those few members who "successfully" escaped had tracking beacons attached to them.

But it was obvious.

That level-seven civilization already had mature procedures for exploration fleets
