Chapter 96: Alliance Disposition

【World Announcement】

【Congratulations to Lord Lu Cang — for becoming the fastest Lord to break through to Tier 5!】

【NO. 1 — Lu Cang breaks through to Tier 5 Territory: Time taken: 6 days 21 hours 13 minutes 55 seconds】

【NO. 2 — Xiao Yue breaks through to Tier 5 Territory: Time taken: 47 days 21 hours 43 minutes 14 seconds】

Regarding this world announcement, Lu Cang felt very helpless.

This world announcement.

Is bound to pop up.

In the World Channel, it once again stirred up a huge uproar.

"Holy crap?"

"What kind of hormone did this Cursed One inject?"

"In less than seven short days, he actually promoted to a Tier 5 Territory?"

"This promotion speed is a bit too outrageous, isn't it?"

"This... could it be some kind of omen?"

"Impossible, his Lord level is only Hero, which corresponds to our territory as merely Fine grade."

"Fine grade, nothing more than Fire Lizards, Wind Eagles, and Diya Dragons, right?"

"Such a territory can only be described as utterly ordinary; why could he reach Tier 5 so fast?"

"Is there a possibility that his territory is a Wasteland Territory?"

"I remember some territories have no powerful abilities at all, yet they level up very quickly."

"For instance, this Tier 5 record holder, his territory is Fine grade, but it is just an ordinary Resource Territory."

"The upgrade conditions are very simple, and at the same time, gaining resources grants extra bonuses, which makes his upgrade speed very fast."

"This Cursed One is probably in the same situation, right?"

"However, no matter what, promoting to a Tier 5 Territory in six days is truly heaven-defying."

"I wonder what attitude the Alliance will take toward him."

【Human Alliance】

"This Lu Cang."

"Has appeared on the World Announcement twice in a row."

"Tsk tsk tsk, letting Cursed Ones act so arrogantly, doesn't that make it look like our Alliance is handling things very poorly?"

"What exactly is the background of this fellow named Lu Cang?"

A young Lord was currently sitting in the Alliance's office.

In his hand, he held Lu Cang's file.

He was in charge of the department specifically responsible for capturing Cursed Ones.

【Cursed One Punishment Department】

Also abbreviated as, the Punishment Department.

"Report, Minister."

"Lu Cang is a new Lord from this batch, the last batch of Lords smuggled into the Lord World by Elekes."

This Minister stroked his chin, looking at the file in his hand.

"The last batch, huh."

"I think this newly promoted high-ranking official is just sick."

"We were supposed to turn a blind eye."

"Elekes has been smuggling Cursed Ones into the Lord World; we knew this as early as a hundred years ago."

"But Cursed Ones are useful to us, so we cannot truly eliminate them."

"The blood of Cursed Ones, the bones of Cursed Ones, the Territory Cores of Cursed Ones, the skin and flesh of Cursed Ones, are all good things."

"But we cannot act openly."

"We can only capture them after letting them enter the Lord World."

"But now this newly arrived high-ranking official, well, he directly eradicated all Cursed Ones at the source."

"In the Lord World, no new Cursed Ones will be produced; now, every Cursed One we catch is one less."

"Heh heh, now in the Black Market, to what price have Cursed One heads been炒 up to?"

This Minister muttered to himself.

His mouth kept chanting words.

And before this Minister, the new recruit delivering the intelligence was trembling with fear.

This new recruit was not some troop unit, but a genuine Lord.

A Lord serving the Alliance.

At the same time, he was also this Minister's direct subordinate.

He originally just came to report some intelligence.

But now, he had heard some incredible dark secrets?

The Alliance knew about Elekes smuggling Cursed Ones long ago?

Cursed Ones have other uses?

Cursed One heads have high value on the Black Market?

What is going on with all of this?

After the Minister finished reciting these matters.

He raised his head and glanced at the new recruit before him.

Then, he casually picked up a document.

【Penalty Notice for Serious Violation of the Alliance Lord Code】

He drew a quill pen from the desk.

He swiftly signed his name on the paper.

Then, he raised his head and asked.

"Newcomer, what is your name?"

"R-Report, Commander! My name is Mu Lilian!"

Upon hearing this, the Commander nodded lightly.

Then, he wrote a signature somewhere on the paper.

"Mu... Lilian."

"Very well."

"Take this document to the Punishment Department."

Looking at the document in the Minister's hand,

Mu Lilian felt a bad premonition in his heart.

With an unsettled mood,

he took the document.

On that document,

was written a penalty notice against him.
