(6600)_4 “They use all kinds of methods to sabotage our achievements, including poisoning the grain stores, contaminating water wells, and attempting to burn down warehouses with their vile means.”

“It’s them—my domain residents, these people—they’ve infiltrated our ranks, even becoming officials on the domain’s payroll.

They used to be the well-off ones living within our lands, but who would’ve thought, for their own splendor and wealth, for the pitiful and ridiculous funds provided by Fiery Flame Land, they’d make others starve, poisoning the food we all rely on for survival?”

“For such evil spawned from their own selfish desires, there can be no forgiveness.

Their only end is death.”

“Right here, right now.”

The young Lord’s proclamation echoed throughout the city.

And with it, erupted a wave of frenzied cheering.

Xiawei Territory was purging itself, eliminating all crime and discord, as the power of the Lord’s Mansion and city hall expanded once again.

Many local gentry and city families dutifully held their tongues, swearing allegiance to the Lord’s policies, no longer daring to deviate.

In theory, executing hundreds, condemning them to hard labor within Xiawei Territory in such a short period should have caused turmoil.

But who can blame when the majority of them were decisively identified as spies, evil traitors intending to starve everyone?

Not to mention those detestable officials guilty of corruption and bribery.

When the Lord decided to hang them, ordinary citizens would only welcome it a thousand times over, even wishing to splash their blood on themselves to join in the excitement.

Ultimately, compared to unfamiliar and unrecognizable individuals being taken away…

People still preferred to watch corrupt officials being hanged.

Ian’s approval ratings were soaring.

Gama stood there, dazed, below the stage.

He watched several of his ‘old acquaintances’, whom he knew to be Fiery Flame Land scouts, hang on the gallows.

Feeling a tightness in his own neck, yet he couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude towards the young Lord, as well as a sense of relief.

—He had survived.

At the cost of another betrayal.

Or in other words…

turning from darkness to light.

“That’s right, Gama.

Continue to send messages to Fiery Flame Land, tell them that the key new Alchemy Workshop within the territory is located just outside the western city square.”

The voice of his old friend Farl echoed in his ears: “As long as you can manage this, getting Fiery Flame Land to dispatch their elites to stage a raid on the west side of the city… then, your crimes will be erased in one stroke.”

“Don’t worry about the future of your son and grandson.

The Lord is not interested in these matters, he won’t care about your past loyalty, as long as you remain loyal to him forever…

He will show great mercy, sparing your mere life.”

“But remember—never betray him again.”

—Of course.

Of course.

Gama thought to himself.

He would be loyal—having arrived in Xia Hui Territory only a short time ago, the Lord, rumored to possess Prophet Psychic abilities, had easily rooted out so many spies.

It’s likely he could easily see through any ‘spy’ who thought themselves undiscovered.

Furthermore, as a grandfather who had been taken for ‘specialized education’, he truly had no other choice.

So, several days later.

At the Special Combat Brigade Nanling Base of Fiery Flame Land.

Captain Naimo, who had been in a sour mood ever since learning about the large-scale sweep in Xia Hui Territory, finally received intel that allowed him to be slightly pleased.

Most of the superficial scouts and turncoats in Xia Hui Territory had been wiped clean, leaving only a few well-hidden and those with shallow relationships.

The latter were insignificant, while the former, due to the dire recent circumstances, dared not report back any intel, leaving the entire combat unit unable to obtain information about Xia Hui Territory.

Keep in mind, the Rebel Highlanders were about to clash with the Empire-backed Mountain People in the Frodo Autonomous Region.

Naimo could not interfere in this ‘internal’ Highlander conflict, his only option was to remove all instability factors, including keeping a finger on the pulse of Xia Hui Territory.

And now, he finally had it.

The information he desired.

“Exterminate bandits…

purify…

domain reconstruction, underground water channels, and new Alchemy Workshop—this guy, is truly treating Xia Hui Territory as his own homeland to manage.

The Cheharlowa Family of the past, the Silver Peak Family of today, seems they plan to take root in Nanling for good, with no intentions of returning to the Imperial Capital.”

Captain Naimo browsed through Gama’s vague intelligence and deduced the situation in Xia Hui Territory.

He knew well that Gama could not have done any better, or rather, Gama’s willingness to continue serving Fiery Flame Land was due to being too far gone, with no possibility of turning back.

At this moment, Naimo fully understood that Xia Hui Territory had neither the will nor the capacity to partake in the impending Highlander internal showdown.

Indeed, according to Gama’s intel, Xia Hui Territory would be supporting Avod Tribe with a batch of Magnetic Storm Armor, which indeed was substantial support.

However, there were elements within the Avod Tribe working for Fiery Flame Land; this batch of powerful armaments was doomed not to reach the battlegrounds.

Even, they would be diverted midway!

“When it comes to espionage, these Nanling folks are all amateurs!”

Naimo, confident in his professional domain, reviewed Gama’s intel once more, nodding: “Indeed, Nauman City aims to make Xia Hui Territory the sturdiest supply point on the edge of the Bison Mountain Range.

Even if the Mountain People regain their independence, controlling Solitary Flame Peak’s pass means Xia Hui Territory also holds the power to initiate offensive actions.”

“When this batch of new Alchemy Workshops is completed, a continuous supply of Magnetic Storm Armor, even parts of Armor Suits, will be assembled here—by then, problems will arise.”

“It’s essential to delay the timing, to stop this trend, or even completely destroy it.”

Thinking it over, he picked up another communication device: “The King of the Mountain has been away for so long, it’s time the Dragon Group does some proper work.”

Just as the Special Combat Brigade of Fiery Flame Land finally grasped the ‘correct’ intelligence and prepared to summon the Dragon Group for a surprise attack.

Ian, having finished consolidating Xia Hui Territory, was also ready to commence his long-planned ‘surprise operation’.
