Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149

The matters occurring within the White Fox Clan were somewhat obscure to Du You’s side, and they were not very clear. It was only a few days later, when some Shadow Assassins were sent from his territory to him, that Du You’s information network became somewhat clearer.

Initially coming only to support Elsa, he had not thought about placing spies at all.

As a result, Du You soon realized that quite a few events had indeed unfolded because of Elsa.

There were significant changes within the White Fox Clan, yet no Fox People came to work with Elsa. All the Fox People either lacked confidence in Elsa or were simply retained by others.

Elsa’s reputation within the clan had not deteriorated, but it had not improved either. Various kinds of private slander were not uncommon. Besides, they were already dissatisfied with Elsa’s actions from the beginning, let alone now.

With Elsa not standing up to speak for herself, it was left to others to say what they would. Elsa and Du You knew that the Fox People all thought Elsa was reclusing alone in Holy Fox Canyon, utterly incapable of development. They were all waiting to see how long Elsa could hold out, ready to mock her once she emerged.

As for the disappearance of Gu Lieqi’s family, it did not cause any upheaval at all. Gu Lieqi, a fifth-tier himself, had died, and a family behind a single individual was hardly notable.

What Du You hadn’t expected was just how strange the composition of the White Fox was. "Is this learned from the Human Race?"

The White Fox Clan, unlike other Beastmen, did not roam everywhere in a tribal fashion. Similarly, they did not build a city like a few other Beastmen cities had, but rather stayed stationary in one place.

It was precisely because of this that the White Fox Clan had evolved into a familial structure, rather than the tribal structure of other Beastman Clans. In this regard, they were quite similar to the residents of the Beastman cities.

The elimination of Gu Lieqi barely caught Du You’s attention. What concerned him was another piece of news—the high priest had recently been very active, apparently communicating with some people from the outside.

"Aren’t you worried? Such actions by the high priest will surely affect you. They probably haven’t given up yet, don’t you plan to respond?" In Du You’s view, Elsa was being too carefree.

Elsa responded indifferently, "In the Beastman Clan, strength is respected. Since I have chosen this path, I will follow it through. We have so many fifth-tier Griffins here, what is there to fear? Besides, they are unlikely to contact other Beastman Clans at the moment—maybe other branches at most. Our internal military capabilities should be sufficient for any Fox People issues."

Elsa always appeared insightful, but the branches of the Fox People, Du You really hadn’t considered that.

Thinking about it now, it seemed that almost everyone in this clan was White Fox. The commonly seen yellow, orange, as well as black and grey varieties of the Fox Clan, Du You hadn’t seen any of them here.

"What about the strength of other clans? How does it compare?" Du You raised the question.

"Who knows? Anyway, they are certainly stronger than us. Although we are the royal bloodline, our development is worsening. Yet even so, the other clans aren’t that powerful either. During the fight against the Sandpeople, quite a few died."

"That’s also true," Du You didn’t disagree, for the battle against the Sandpeople was quite famous. In fact, the Fox People Clan, which held the mightiest sacrifices, directly clashed with the Sandpeople’s high priest at the frontline.

Even if the other branches could interfere now, they definitely wouldn’t be many.

"Looking at you, you must have some plan in mind," Du You suddenly noticed Elsa’s confidence.

Elsa stuck out her tongue: "I wouldn’t call it a plan, but I do have a bit of an idea—if managed well this time, we might be able to unite the Fox People Clan. Even if we can’t, we can raise the territorial development experience to tier five, or at least close to it."

"Are you very confident?" Du You’s eyes narrowed slightly. He knew Elsa understood the difficulty of upgrading territorial development. Elsa couldn’t leave here at will during this time, yet she had constantly been studying various materials on territory development. Moreover, with Du You, an experienced lord here, she could always consult him if any problems arose.

If Elsa was confident, then it truly might be possible. Rapidly advancing a subordinate territory to tier five was hard to imagine. But with his support, it seemed not an entirely impossible feat.

"Well then, I look forward to seeing it," said Du You without further comment. A month’s time had passed, and the basic infrastructure in Holy Fox Canyon was essentially complete. The planning of houses and roads was also substantially perfected.

Du You opened the panel and looked at the new Holy Fox City.

Each can accommodate 10 people, can recruit Fox People civilians, craftsmen.

Unknowingly, there were already tens of thousands of White Foxes in the Holy Fox Canyon. Yes, the Fox People produced by these houses were only White Foxes, with no other colors, and now the valley was a vast expanse of white at a glance.

If this continues, the number of Fox People here will surpass the total number of the White Fox Clan, and it won’t take long.

There has also been a military force for two months, of course, among them, these two thousand were only Level 12 Servant Officers, specifically for handling miscellaneous tasks, capable but not a combat branch of the armed forces.

The real main combat force was still the rest, including priests and warriors, making a fairly good combination.

Last was the foreign population. Du You researched and found that as long as they resided within the influence of Holy Fox City and were stationed there for a long time, they would be counted in the foreign population. After all, Holy Fox Canyon was nominally the territory of the Holy Maiden, and those people were nominally subordinates of the Holy Maiden, and although they might be disobedient, the panel would still perform the calculations.

However, Holy Fox Canyon was basically full by now. If they wanted to continue to develop, they would have to expand to the surrounding area. "It seems, it’s time for them to start sending over some blueprints."
