Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216

With the encirclement plan completed, the next two important plans could be implemented. Du You had originally intended to improve his own skills and then search for a suitable world for enhancement, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Perhaps, taking advantage of this opportunity, he could roughly accomplish everything he wanted to do.

Lin Yucha activated the Platform Floating Cloud, which moved very quickly, and soon returned to his territory. Those who followed behind traveled slowly and would take three more days to return. Of course, he was carrying the corpses with him. Along the way, every 24 hours, Du You would cast Dark Resurrection, reviving five of his subordinates.

Although not many were revived, it still replenished a portion of their combat power.

After all, it was the combat power of a fifth-tier peak, and the losses this time were indeed significant. "Finally arrived, so next, we can start, right?" Du You looked at his territory, now close at hand, and then spoke.

Shaliya immediately said, "No, let’s first let the Holy Fox City complete their kingdom establishment plan. If we expose ourselves first, it will attract the attention of the Divine Flame Empire, and some matters will also become difficult to handle."

"Then what is your plan?" Du You decided to listen to Shaliya. In this matter, Shaliya was the expert.

Shaliya thought for a moment, then said, "If the Holy Fox Clan first establishes a kingdom, it will directly provoke hostility from both the Beastman kingdoms and the Divine Flame Empire, with the latter definitely being the main threat. The Beastman kingdoms, being their own kind, will not target us in the short term. Thus, Holy Fox City will have an excuse to battle the Divine Flame Empire."

"Next, we reveal part of our strength. Because the Divine Flame Empire will feel threatened and, with us using some excuses and provoking them a bit, the Divine Flame Empire will surely target us together with the others."

Du You nodded, his eyes sparkling, "Good, I understand your plan now. Once this plan is complete, we can unify the entire eastern part of the continent in a short time, becoming a powerful empire. Perhaps, such an achievement could elevate our territory to the level of a seventh-tier. Hmm, but we don’t have seventh-tier Crystal Coins needed for the upgrade."

Lin Yucha also spoke up, "No, it won’t be that easy to reach the seventh-tier. The seventh-tier is a huge threshold, not just for individuals, but also for territories. It probably won’t be so simple."

"Yes, even if we reach the seventh-tier, we won’t have seventh-tier military branch buildings, so it’s practically meaningless."

Hearing the others’ words, Du You nodded in frustration. That’s just the way reality was. "Alright, then next we’ll need Elsa’s help," Du You said smiling at Elsa.

Elsa was brimming with energy, "Don’t worry, big brother. I’ve already set my subordinates to the task. By the time we return, we should be successful." The round trip didn’t cause much delay.

Although the plan had already been launched, it had not yet reached the required level. According to the current pace, it would take at least another month. In fact, this was already considered fast; without the vast resources of a territory, it would take an ordinary person who knows how long to complete these steps for kingdom establishment.

The reason why the Shenghai Kingdom was able to establish itself was precisely because Du You had brought forth too many experts all at once, along with the collapse of a maritime kingdom, and because the Divine Flame Empire was wary of the power behind him and looked down on the maritime territory, allowing him to establish a kingdom.

Of course, another reason was that his own territory was by the sea, bordering only the Divine Flame Empire, with no other enemies. The Divine Flame Empire even wanted his help against the Quicksand Empire, which is why they ceded a lot of land to him to border with the Quicksand Empire. Indeed, this move proved to be correct.

One of the attack routes of the Quicksand Empire had been intercepted by Du You. Otherwise, had Du You completely ignored the Quicksand Empire’s attack, who knows how much the Divine Flame Empire would have lost.

Because of this, the king of the Divine Flame Empire was now enjoying skyrocketing prestige within the country.

However, recently, the Divine Flame Empire had been targeting him constantly, and Shaliya was becoming very annoyed.

After returning to his territory, Du You did not engage in other activities but continued to refine his skills. He would soon complete the refinement of his and his two sisters’ skills.

Elsa immediately used the Teleportation Array to return to her own territory. On this mission, not a single one of Elsa’s people was lost, after all, they had not participated in the battle. As for the gains, that was uncertain.

Speaking of which, it was probably because of Du You’s ability to challenge beyond his tier that he managed to obtain a good harvest. It was just like the last time he faced off against the Magical Beasts; without the bonus for challenging beyond his tier, it wouldn’t have been possible to gain such a large reward.

Previously, aside from obtaining a sixth-tier blueprint, Du You also received a territorial contract. Coupled with the unused lord’s monument from before, Du You now possessed two territorial construction slots. Unfortunately, he had not yet found a suitable location for constructing a territory, so these items could only be set aside.

While Du You was refining his own strength, Holy Fox City had already started to act in full swing. Behind the scenes, various favors were bestowed, promises for the future were made, and with the articulate Fox People taking action, everything was proceeding very smoothly.

In public, the Fox People Clan supplied a large quantity of Griffins and even other Magical Beasts to several powerful clans, as well as weapons and medicine transported from the Shenghai Kingdom.

In contrast, the Lion People were evasive, trading very little with them. The public excuse was to enhance the strength of the Beastmen near the Wolfmen, to help defend against the Wolfmen. Since the Wolfmen were the enemies of the Fox People, the Wolfmen had been increasingly troubled lately, with repeated harassment from others.

Inexplicably, since they were not weak, the Wolfmen had to resist passively. But unseen by all, as those strong clans grew stronger, they began to disregard the Lion Clan.

If not for the Fox People still being useful, they might not even consider the Fox People worth their attention. And though the area occupied by the Fox People Clan seemed prosperous, in their eyes, it was not big compared to the original Beastman kingdom’s territory. After all, it was not theirs, so what harm was there in teaching the Fox People, if trade continued as usual?

In their minds, there was nothing strange about the Fox People establishing a kingdom. Not to forget, to the south, near Wild Boar Ridge, had the boarmen been stronger, they would have already established their own kingdom.
