Chapter 653: The Entire Northern Part of the Continent Has Fallen Into a Pot of Porridge

The Exorcists' annexation, to put it plainly, was like a coloring game.

As long as you killed the other party's leader, and then went to the other party's territory to proclaim it yourself, you could directly usurp the magpie's nest and stick your own label on the other party's territory along with everything on it, taking it as your own.

Of course, this also included those lower-level Exorcists.

So Fox needed to seize the time.

That was why he didn't allow Yasuda Naeko to rest.

"You really know how to boss people around."

Knowing that what the other party said was the right argument, even if he was somewhat angry, Yasuda Naeko could only suppress it.

In the face of interests, it was like this. What getting angry? What having a temper?

None could rival the interests that were about to be obtained.

Didn't you see that the Cunning Merchant who acted as a dog for the Dark Witches had now already become a prominent big shot in the central-western region of the continent, capable of making the central region tremble three times with a single stomp?

And those kings and whatever, able to declare themselves king and dominate with just one or two villages.

If he obtained an entire region, wouldn't he take off on the spot!

Although Yasuda Naeko was currently covered in injuries all over his body, injuries that were barely pulled back even after using a dozen or twenty bottles of Healing Potion.

But driven by interests, this pervert was full of drive.

Although he was a pervert, it didn't mean he disliked power.

One must know that previously, just prying open a treasury of the Pure Origin Sect had allowed him to Wash Hands In Golden Basin and live the life of a master among men.

If he directly became the lord of a country, wouldn't that be even more awesome than being a master among men?

"Alright then, have your people lead the way for me."

Thus, the pervert supported himself to stand up with great perseverance, and left this place together with Fox's trusted aides who arrived later.

Looking at the retreating figure of Yasuda Naeko, Fox fell into silence.

To be honest, just now there was indeed a moment when he wanted to eliminate this pervert together as well.

After all, the contract didn't say he couldn't kill the other party.

Moreover, in this way, he could also take back all the interests that originally should have been distributed out.

But now, under the circumstance of truly having no manpower to use, he could only sigh while wringing his wrists for losing such a good opportunity this time.

But as long as he could obtain enough interests in a short period of time, then no matter how much was distributed out, as long as he had these Exorcists in his hands, he could earn it back anew.

As for how to handle those undead in Double Moon Bay, Fox had also long thought it through.

Although the number of Transmigrators who crossed over from Blue Star was massive, when scattered around, there really weren't many in one place.

So compared to other things, population remained a very important resource.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for him to take his subordinate Exorcists to serve as cannon fodder.

He believed that besides the White Witches who could produce Homunculi, no one else would do this either.

So on the matter of dealing with those undead, he only had one thought: make money, produce Magic Disorder Devices, and then use the Magic Disorder Devices as a stepping stone to directly go to their door and start bombing.

Although there was also the plan of trapping the tens of millions of undead to death inside completely.

But Double Moon Bay was a natural fine harbor.

Although in terms of geographical environment, it couldn't achieve a scale like Abandoned Harbor.

But as long as the supporting facilities were built up, it could also become a major port in the north, and the money earned at that time wouldn't be small either.

This could also be considered suffering a loss at Sangyu but gaining at Dongyu.

Even if it was a bit less, it was only a comparison in port income; after taking over the entire region, the income would be very considerable.

On Yasuda Naeko's side, being active everywhere for a whole night, he thoroughly killed the vast majority of brigade commanders in Maple Leaf Mountain Forest.

And Fox followed behind, taking over brigade by brigade.

When the sun first rose the next morning, the actual number of controlled people had also risen from the previous hundred thousand to over eight million.

The territory also directly encompassed the vast majority of regions in Maple Leaf Mountain Forest.

Although the power in his hands rapidly inflated like blowing up a balloon, Fox didn't inflate in the slightest.

Because he knew that this was nothing but a beginning.

As for whether such a rapid expansion would lead to chaos in the entire command system, there was even less need to worry about this point.

It was nothing more than the command authority of the entire Maple Leaf Mountain Forest changing from a commander-in-chief to a brigade commander, and the command authority of a hundred thousand people changing from a brigade commander to a captain...

By analogy, everyone's position remained unchanged, but the power in their hands skyrocketed by several times or even dozens of times.

But this wasn't the end yet.

After controlling Maple Leaf Mountain Forest, the demonic claws of Fox and Yasuda Naeko reached towards the two adjacent regions.

However, after the matter fermented for a night, basically everyone knew the news that the commander-in-chief's avatar had disappeared and he had died.

The brigade commanders in the other two regions, the moment they got the news, tacitly thought of the same thing as Fox, and immediately began fighting for power and profit among each other.

Therefore...

Within just one short day, tens of millions of mindless undead suddenly appeared on the continent...

The largest and fastest-expanding race, the Exorcists, fell apart overnight and attacked each other...

The King's Alliance fought back and forth with a group of Degenerate Species that popped out from who knows where...

For a time, the entire northern region of the continent fell into a pot of porridge.

Drawing the people of other regions to cast sidelong glances one after another.

And on another front, because of the relationship with having things like the Engraving Machine, a massive number of Transmigrators were turning into class holders at an astonishing speed.

This speed had even surpassed the previous expansion speed of the Exorcists.

After all, the population base was laid out there. As long as one wanted to enhance their strength and didn't want any side effects, they would naturally choose to become a class holder.

And the increase in class holders subsequently caused the difficulty of adventurer quests to continuously drop.

The resulting consequence was that although the difficulty decreased, the quest rewards also decreased, but the number of quests increased.

And the most direct was the regular quest for the allied forces of the kings' side resisting the Degenerate Species.

After all, Degenerate Species were in any case flawed Evolvers. For Quasi-Evolvers to want to fight with the other party, they could only rely on numbers to win.

However, the Degenerate Species in other places didn't know where they heard this news from either, so they were all assembling towards the northeastern part of the continent.

This caused the allied forces of the kings to suffer pincer attacks from both the northeast and the south.

If it weren't for the western front battlefield, which is to say those Exorcists below the Double Ring Hills being busy infighting, then it might have been a three-sided pincer attack.

But even so, it still made the allied forces of the kings, who had batches of adventurers coming to help out, somewhat uncomfortable, and they began to go downhill amidst the attacks of the gradually increasing Degenerate Species.

If it weren't for those kings and organizations in the south providing funds and equipment for the same reason as during the rise of the Exorcists previously—'not wanting to let the Degenerate Species occupy the northeast and thus threaten them by heading south', perhaps the allied forces of the kings would have long since fallen apart under these circumstances.
