Could it be a concealed figure of authority? Certainly, it must be.
Gongjong, we are allies.
So when you arrive on my territory, please do not initiate an attack.
Indeed, indeed.
When you come, just let us know what you desire.
Let us preserve our amicable relations.
As Kong Yong perused the flurry of messages, a smile graced his lips.
Being addressed as esteemed, one feels rather delightful.
Just as he was reveling in this moment, a firm hand clapped upon his shoulder.
Ah.
Kong Yong jumped in surprise.
Turning around, he found himself face to face with an orc.
Heir, esteemed one.
Is there something you need? Kong Yong inquired with a smile.
The Lord has summoned you.
There is likely a reward in store, the orc replied.
Oh, thank you.
I shall go at once.
Kong Yong responded eagerly, hastening toward the hall.
Alongside his excitement for the reward, he also felt a tinge of anticipation for the moment of meeting the regional leader.
Chapter 307.
The celestial box Kong Yong closely followed the orc and as he approached the grand hall, his heart began to race intensely.
Fong Hao held a significant reputation within the regional channel.
Yet, he was also notorious for his fierce demeanor.
The individual named Lee Tong who had lost his head at the hands of Fong Hao had his demise broadcasted in the channel.
At that time, he had held the territory and Kong Yong had been thoroughly frightened.
Upon traversing the corridor, he entered a spacious and luminous hall filled with orcs.
His heart pounded fiercely, and as he gazed upwards, he spotted a young man with black hair seated upon the central throne.
He appeared remarkably youthful, perhaps even younger than Kong Yong himself.
Speak.
An orc beside emerged.
Oong suddenly regained his composure, stepping forward into the center of the hall, bowing respectfully, "I greet you, Lord.
" In this context, it was evidently inappropriate to address him as the esteemed Fong Hao.
The latter glanced at Kong Yong from his throne.
During the celebration, Domiga had specifically mentioned Kong Yong.
His ability to swiftly conclude battles and accurately locate various ancient fortress positions had rendered the map in Kong Yong's possession invaluable.
Indeed, Fongghao remarked, fixing his gaze upon Kong Yong.
You have made considerable contributions in the battle against the blood clan and deserve your due reward.
He was acutely aware of Kong Yong s identity as a traveler, but that was a matter for another time.
Hearing Fong how song expression brightened instantly.
Thank you, my lord.
On behalf of the villagers of Huiwa Heights, I express our deepest gratitude for your lifesaving intervention.
Rather than asserting that he had aided Fong Hao, it could be said that Fonggho s forces had eradicated the blood clan, thereby rescuing him and the villagers.
Fong Hao nodded, recognizing Kong Yong as a perceptive individual.
"Well, you shall receive the same reward as the others.
1 0 0 beast heads and gold, which I can convert into war coins along with some equipment support," Fonghao announced.
Kong Yong did not respond immediately, but pondered carefully.
The 200 war coins and equipment support could potentially enhance the strength of his territory.
However, his domain had languished in neglect for a considerable time with resources depleted through numerous missions.
What use would such funds and gear serve him? Should he venture to a human city to live off these coins? Once the funds were exhausted, would he then seek a village to sustain himself through farming? As thoughts raced through his mind, Kong Yong had already formulated a plan.
My lord, I find little need for this gold.
I possess a small territory and wish to seek refuge under your protection, he declared.
It was better to seize the opportunity to align himself with this powerful ally than to merely graze upon the surface.
Who could withstand an army of hundreds of thousands? If his territory could receive Fong How support, it might flourish once more.
Fong Hao was not surprised.
As long as Kong Yong was not foolish, he was likely to make such a choice.
Very well, I grant you this, Fong Ho replied with a nod, Kong Yong<unk>s expression brightened further.
Thank you, my lord.
Raising the Lord<unk>'s book with both hands, Anjhao presented it to Fong Hao.
He received the Devouring Lord's book, level one, Kong Yong<unk>s Lord's book transformed into a beam of light, merging with Fong Hao's Lord's book.
Devouring successful.
Your lord's book is now level five with 210 required for the next upgrade.
The last time he devoured pay lelay's lord's book, it had already reached level 5 with a status of 110.
Now it had changed at 210.
The privileges of the fifth level of the lord's book remained unchanged with no new blueprints unlocked.
You have acquired the decision-making authority over Kong Yong's territory.
Occupy.
Abandon.
Occupy.
This territory will become your subordinate territory, allowing for further development.
Abandon.
You will receive 50 to 80 of the territo's resources, and this territory will be abandoned.
Occupy.
You have occupied this territory and automatically become a subordinate city.
You may set an acting governor in the Lord's Book.
After choosing to occupy, the location of Kong Yong's territory appeared on the Lord's Book's large map.
Indeed, situated in the heart of the Huiwa Highlands.
Upon inspecting the building level, it was a level three Lord's wooden house, just at level three.
There was no need to say more.
This territory was certainly lacking in resources.
Filling in Kong Yongs name in the acting governor position, a lord's book split off directly and was returned to Kong Yong.
How many villagers were rescued? Funo inquired of Domiga.
Domiga replied, "My lord, there are over 2,000 in total.
They were driven onto the battlefield during the Blood Clans counterattack.
In such a vast area, only over 2,000 remained.
However, Fong Hao refrained from further comment.
The battlefield is a place where life and death are determined.
Gongjong, these 2,000 villagers are entrusted to you.
Can you arrange for the restoration of all the villages? Funhao asked, "Yes, I can do it.
" Very well.
Then I entrust these 2,000 to you.
Do not disappoint me.
Understood.
My lord, I will not betray your trust.
Kong Yong replied with determination.
He held his own ambitions.
Yet his territory had only reached level three before being seized by the blood clan.
Now was his opportunity to rise again.
Not only to honor Fongo's trust, but also to secure a better future for himself.
You may return now.
