Operations Hall.
When Wellington saw Logo walk in, he quickly stood up.
"How's the situation?" Logo asked Wellington after sitting down.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the True Dragon's retinue outside the passage has been cleared out, Melier is still guarding the inside of the passage as you commanded."
According to the investigation, the passage through which Topaz Dragon invaded connects to a desolate island in the southwest of the Xiya Archipelago. This island is a public area and has no owner.
"Oh? It leads to the Xiya Archipelago." Logo tapped the armrest with his index finger, thought for a moment, and asked, "Approximately how far is this island from Brian City in the Gonis City-State?"
"About nine thousand kilometers," Wellington replied.
The Planet Oklo is enormous, thousands of times larger than the Blue Star I knew. Even the Xiya Archipelago, though small, is roughly the same size as the entire Blue Star.
"Nine thousand kilometers, hmm, not bad, that will save a considerable amount of transportation costs." Logo was very satisfied.
Both passages in the Underdark are very useful.
The passage to the Dusk Desert allows for a continuous supply of mineral resources and insect crystals from the Zerg, ensuring an ample supply of raw materials.
The passage to the Xiya Archipelago would allow for closer ties with major powers, including the Gonis City-State, shorten transportation distances, and save costs.
"By the way, how many of the Gold Dragon's retinue escaped?"
Wellington lowered his head slightly. "Not many, but according to the intelligence provided by the prisoners, one Tier Seven Dragonblood Monitor Lizard had already slipped away before our counterattack along the passage. This guy is an absolute direct descendant of the Gold Dragon, a Gold Dragon- veined follower transformed from the Golden Dragon's heart's blood."
The dragon bloodline relatives transformed from the blood and flesh of the True Dragon Clan are also divided into different levels.
Blood essence transformation is the highest level, and after transformation, potential will be greatly increased. Only the absolute confidants of the True Dragon receive this treatment.
"Oh? It seems that this Dragonblood Monitor Lizard you mentioned is a contingency plan left behind by the Gold Dragon." Logo's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Topaz Dragon clan is selfish and always acts alone. Even if they die, it's highly unlikely that any other dragon will avenge them.
But Gold Dragon is different. Not to mention his friends, his blood relatives alone—his parents, brothers, and even his grandparents and maternal grandparents—are a huge problem.
The Metallic Dragon Clan are a classic example of how the younger ones are defeated before the older ones arrive.
If you beat the old ones, even older ones will come looking for revenge.
It might even implicate Demigod- level True Dragon.
The best way to deal with this situation is to exert a strong deterrent effect from the outset, so that the other party dares not act rashly.
After a moment's thought, Logo had an idea.
It's very simple, just find a powerful backer.
Logo himself lived deep within the Sunset Jungle and was not afraid of any retaliation from the Gold Dragon Clan.
His only worry was that the Gold Dragon Clan would interfere with the family business, such as ambushing and killing the transport fleet halfway. This would put Logo in a very passive position, since he didn't have many strong warriors under his command.
The parents of Tier Nine True Dragon must be Legendary.
He couldn't possibly have a Legendary defender on every transport fleet.
To prevent attacks, the best way is to register the fleet under the name of a sufficiently powerful force.
For example, the city lord's mansion in Sunset Territory.
The lord is Demigod; who would dare touch the goods of a Demigod?
While this may require significantly more resources, it will undoubtedly reduce a great deal of trouble.
As the family business grew larger and the interests involved became more extensive, even without the Gold Dragon incident, Logo would have needed to bring in some big shots to provide protection using their names.
"Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Gale Demon Wolf Tribe!"
Having made up his mind, Logo asked Wellington to invite Annabelle, the old Earl, and others over.
A moment later, the old count, who looked a hundred years younger, strode in from outside.
Annabelle followed closely behind, her short legs dangling in the air like a ghost.
Then there's Duke, the Legendary minotaur wielding a giant axe.
Reynard Carven was the last to come in.
Gain stayed with Logo the whole time, taking Melier's place and temporarily protecting Logo's safety.
Of course, the salary of this Legendary Variant White Ape bodyguard was quite expensive, and only Logo deep pockets, could afford it.
"Congratulations, Grandpa Herbert! Breaking through to the Legendary level is just around the corner!" Logo said to the old count with a smile.
"Hahaha, all thanks to you! First the Legendary resources, then the Topaz Dragon. If it weren't for you, this old man might already be in his grave." The old count laughed heartily, in a very good mood.
After exchanging a few words, Logo brought up the important matter.
"Now that the Underdark has been conquered, it's time to discuss resource allocation."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked over.
Logo smiled faintly and continued, "I reached an agreement with you all before the war."
"According to the agreement, once a Legendary appears and is killed, my Campbell Family will not participate in the distribution of the loot."
"The Duke's body and his equipment shall be distributed among His Gain, His Excellency Duke, and His Annabelle Ilambell."
"Of course, as an alchemist, I am very interested in the bodies of Legendary. If any of you are interested, you can sell me the Duke's corpse; the price will definitely not disappoint you."
Logo didn't mention the Madam Poison, and Duke and Gain wisely refrained from asking, since it was none of their business anyway.
After discussing the distribution of benefits at the Legendary level, Logo turned to the old count and Reynard and began to discuss the division of territory in the Underdark.
Ultimately, the Campbell Family received 70%, while the Herbert Family and Carven Family each received 30%.
Furthermore, the Campbell Family was responsible for all losses incurred during the war between the two families, including death benefits and the cost of purchasing weapons and equipment.
The terms are extremely favorable.
After all, the Campbell Family deployed the largest and strongest army in this war, and the most arduous battles were fought by the Campbell Family.
The Herbert Family and Carven Family ' armies were only involved in the fighting and suffered virtually no losses.
Gaining 30% of the territory is already quite considerable.
Therefore, upon hearing Logo's words, the old count and Reynard immediately beamed with joy.
