Chapter 369: Chapter 275: Is This a Perimeter Territory? (4K)_2

“Boss, this is Tai Xuan territory!”

Are we courting death by doing this?

Boss Black Turban lit a cigarette and spoke slowly, “I have reasons for thinking this. Doing regular business also comes with risks as volume increases. It’s better to make a big score in one go.”

“As I’ve said before, once we pull this off we can vanish without a trace, even the Tai Xuan can’t do much about it.”

“Think about how wealthy a lord’s territory is. Furthermore, if we conquer the territory and destroy the Lord’s Altar, we can obtain Altar fragments. It is rumored that you can form a Lord’s Heart with enough fragments, allowing us ordinary players to become lords.”

“Think about it, do you want to continue a nomadic life, always living on the edge, or gamble for a Lord’s Heart, then disappear to construct your territory in neutral grounds?”

Of course, they would choose the latter.

They were quite accustomed to living like mini emperors.

“Let’s do it, boss!”

“Our first target will be the Red Leaf Territory. It’s relatively new and wealthy but weak, making it an ideal first target. Of course, a territory has many soldiers. We don’t need to fight straight on, even if we had the ability to.”

The boss looked at the goods around them, “We will disguise ourselves as a merchant convoy, get into the territory and behead the lord.”

Conveniently, the city they used to stay in is adjacent to the Xuan Country.

Among them, the boss and the third member were fluent in Xuan Country’s Language, making it more natural for them to impersonate Tai Xuan’s merchant convoy.

…

A day later.

“Boss, are we off course?

Four players and twenty to thirty soldiers types, disguising themselves as a harmless merchant convoy, were passing through the dense forest.

According to the information they had previously obtained, it was only half a day’s journey from the Land of Looting to the Red Leaf Territory.

Generally speaking, they should have already arrived.

But they haven’t.

It seems normal to go off course in the vast wilderness, especially when they lack enough information and maps.

“Be patient, we will find it sooner or later.”

Boss Black Turban just finished speaking when his face lit up with joy. The Bloody Warhawk in his hand, which was flying high for reconnaissance, suddenly fell and relayed an exciting discovery.

They proceeded along the direction the Bloody Warhawk had indicated. Soon, they observed fewer monsters around them and saw traces of battles, logging, transportations, and so on from time to time.

All these signs pointed to the existence of a territory ahead.

“But this territory is not the Red Leaf Territory, right?”

“Whether it is or not doesn’t matter. We have been moving towards the North, so this territory must be among the newest ones and it’s a suitable target for us.”

“The boss is right, no wonder you’re the boss.”

As Boss Black Turban had expected, after proceeding a bit further, they found the woods beginning to thin out.

Through the woods, they saw a dirt road that had been frequently trodden, gradually taking shape.

There were soldiers patrolling along a definite path, slaying the wandering monsters.

Boss Black Turban explained their purpose, “We are players from the Black Wolf Trade Association, and we have business to discuss with your lord.”

“Is that so? Please follow me.”

The patrol captain was a Valiant War Horse, a one-star Outstanding. An awakened NPC who had self-consciousness for quite some time. He didn’t understand much but remembered the instructions from above. When dealing with merchant squads, he had to escort them and report.

So, the captain led Boss Black Turban and his men towards his territory.

“The first step is successful!”

The four brothers of Black Turban glanced at each other, cheering for their stability.

The following things didn’t surprise them. The captain led them into his territory, and they arrived at what seemed like a reception area inside the town.

The only thing that somewhat threw off the four brothers was…

The city gate and walls in this territory were too majestic!

“It’s a rare-class city wall!”

“Boss, is there something wrong with this territory? The soldiers seem a bit elite!”

The group didn’t open their mouths, but rather conveyed their thoughts through their expressions.

Even if the boss were a bit surprised, he didn’t panic. Instead, he felt pleasantly surprised.

“This is a rich lord’s territory. However, regardless of how wealthy or promising it might be, it is still a territory that was established just over half a year.”

“No matter how strong a territory is, it can’t be incredibly powerful, but it may hold various valuable treasures.”

Even one haul from this place would be worth countless regular hauls.

Isn’t that a bloody fortune?

The excited and expectant group began to wait inside the reception building.

“Sorry for making you wait. I am here on behalf of our lord.”

The visitor was Isloa’s avatar.

Several ‘Starlight Scholars,’ who had advanced through her strategic talent, accompanied her.

The Starlight Scholars were of low grade and weak in battle, but they had a unique advantage in recording and memory. These Starlight Scholars were the cream of the crop, selected from thousands of ordinary territory citizens.

It also had a teaching intent for Isloa to bring these Starlight Scholars with her.

Otherwise, she could have just sent an avatar for such a deal; there was no need for such trouble.

However, she needed to train the new recruits so that she could delegate the burdensome affairs to them in the future.

Once, Isloa wished to be the right-hand woman of the lord through her ability to handle affairs and become an indispensable general for the lord.

But now, she preferred to do research and experiments.

After taking the new recruits along for this transaction, she could leave the next transaction entirely to the new recruits. After all, it’s all small business.

Her thoughts were diverging.

The expressions of several Black Turban players changed slightly.

Why wasn’t the lord coming?

For such newly-promoted territories, whenever a caravan arrived, the lord had to show up personally. After all, caravans that could operate in the peripheral area of the Tai Xuan Alliance were of considerable strength and status. The lord had to show up considering respect and various other factors.

Many times, minor lords even had to ingratiate themselves with the leaders of the large caravans.

“Where’s your lord? The lord must come in person for this business,”

“In such affairs, I can fully represent our lord. If you want to talk, talk. If not, please leave.”

Isloa was getting a little impatient.

The slight change in the expressions of these people also made her feel a little strange. But her main body had observed through the ‘Starry Eyes’ that these were all elite players, not disguised assassins from the Shen Yao Empire.

This level of lineup is pretty normal in a caravan.

Just as she thought of this, a player stepped forward.

The youngest one couldn’t hold back.

“Catch her. She must be an important figure in this territory. It’s the same as crippling the lord’s arm first.”

Before he could finish his sentence, a star-blue light shot out and penetrated his abdomen.

Then, the pink-haired girl raised her fair fingers and pointed out the light beams.

In the blink of an eye, the beams shattered the heads of several soldiers and evaporated before hitting the wall, perfectly controlled.

The leader of the Black Turban hadn’t noticed all this. By the time he returned to his senses, his two brothers and more than a dozen soldiers were all falling to the ground.

What level of a powerful person is this!

He didn’t have much time to think, escaping through the shattered window with the remaining young man.

There were some patrolling soldiers outside the building, but they were just low-ranking soldiers.

The leader of the Black Turban dispatched his elites to forge a path.

Boom——

A Goblin Warrior was hurled against the wall by a soldier.

An Elite Peak Barbarian Warrior was beheaded by another patrolling soldier.

Black Turban’s eyelids twitched as he saw Boss Four being subdued in the distance and unable to struggle.

“Are these ordinary patrolling soldiers?”

It wasn’t that his eyesight was poor; he had seen several similar patrolling squads on his way.

“Thunderbolt Warrior! Clear the way!”

He ordered his most powerful warrior.

This was his general whom he had cultivated with numerous resources and had broken through to the Third-order Warlord level. This secret, he hadn’t even told his three brothers about it.

As the Thunderbolt Warrior’s fists blasted out, they pushed back the patrolling soldiers as if they were unstoppable…Bang!

A hammer crushed the lightning.

A passer-by, a burly man with bare arms muttered, “What’s going on?”

“Nothing, Master Li, just a small mishap.”

This is the powerful person of this territory!

Ahead, Master Li blocked the way.

Behind, Isloa’s avatar was propping up her chin.

And around them, the elite soldiers of the four brothers fell one by one, and more and more territory patrol squads were gathering here.

Four squads, six squads, eight squads, ten squads.

They were all similarly dressed.

Indeed, they were ordinary patrolling soldiers.

They… didn’t just run into the official stronghold of Tai Xuan, did they?!!
