Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Deserted Island Bought for Two Million Gold Coins
"New Vampire Race, what exactly do you intend to do?"
The largest local territory, where Marquis Kolan resided. Unlike most territorial nobles, Marquis Kolan openly welcomed the Blood Servant who came to his domain.
"Respected Marquis Kolan, this is an internal matter of our Blood Clan. Since those fellows have completely fallen and hide within the human kingdom without seeking advancement, we naturally have to punish them."
"Indeed, it’s your internal affair, but it is also within our New Moon Kingdom."
"The New Moon Kingdom may be powerful, but how does it compare to our Blood Clan?"
Marquis Kolan looked deeply at the Blood Servant in front of him, "Then, what can we gain from this? After all, acting within our territory, we can’t just stand by idly." This was Marquis Kolan setting terms.
In fact, this was not a compromise, for he never intended to drive these people away; otherwise, a meeting wouldn’t have been possible at all.
"Two million Gold Coins, the kind that can be used in enhancing territory capabilities."
This amount was not small, holding considerable value even for other lords, and for an ordinary person like Marquis Kolan, it was something unimaginable. If handled well, these two million Gold Coins could even secure a territory for himself.
Since the Earth people arrived, acquiring a territory in this world had become much easier.
Whether it was seizing directly from the Earth people or through other means, it had become easier.
Thus, these two million Gold Coins indeed tempted Marquis Kolan. "Not enough; just Gold Coins alone are insufficient for me to justify this action." After all, this was not just his personal matter.
Even these Gold Coins would likely require at least half to be spent in greasing palms.
"Additionally, we can start trade; we have some things that you don’t possess. And one last thing, we don’t need to control the quantity." This was no longer a mere implication.
The vampires on Flower Plateau needed to control their numbers, therefore, new vampires could only be added sparingly each year.
They didn’t need to control their numbers, which meant that many nobles could have the chance to transform; they wouldn’t have to wait until they were old only to find they had no chance of transformation and could only await death.
Isn’t that why they indulged those vampires, just for this transformation opportunity?
Marquis Kolan smiled, "Very well, I can explain this to others now. Two million Gold Coins were not simply given to me but were paid in exchange for my land."
The land owned by nobles could be bought and sold, but land ownership must remain with the kingdom itself.
Even if an outsider bought the land, they could only earn the title of a national citizen, not a noble, and certainly not a lord.
Similarly, those eligible to buy vast tracts of land were not ordinary people; even wealthy commoners could not possibly buy it.
Marquis Kolan drew a small circle on the map, "This island and this beach, what do you say?" Normally, such a small deserted island and beach would not have such high value.
But this time was different, because this deserted island was very close to the Flower Plateau, right next to it. And that stretch of beach was below the plateau, clinging closely to the plateau itself.
When Flower Plateau was initially occupied, this beach did not even exist, so it could be considered outside Duke Xianhua’s territory.
Therefore, as a lord, Marquis Kolan could sell this tract of land, and Duke Xianhua, upon knowing this, wouldn’t dare use some rule-breaking method to deal with the buyer.
The New Moon Kingdom had been wanting to deal with them for a long time now, and they dare not give the other side any excuse lightly.
Even if it were an internal affair of the Blood Clan, both sides would need a legitimate excuse to start a war.
"Thank you for your generosity; we will meet again." After speaking, the Blood Servant transformed into a large bat, flapping its wings and flying away. Watching the bat fly off, envy was written all over Marquis Kolan’s face.
"What a perfect race," Marquis Kolan said enviously.
As soon as the deal was confirmed, Fang Jie had already received the news.
"Two million for a wasteland? But it’s also a base, which is already not bad." For undead creatures, a wasteland and ordinary land actually don’t have many drawbacks.
It’s just a foothold, something to use as a cover.

Looking at the town panel, it was already quite impressive; it was time to start transporting troops and preparing for war.
Although they intended to start the war in the winter, preparations needed to begin now, as it was already a tight schedule. That was a very large territory, and even if human warriors were not highly regarded, their numbers were not insignificant.
These troops were certainly not all the forces under Fang Jie’s command, but for now, these were just what was allocated to the Main City.
If not enough, they could temporarily transfer some troops from other locations.
"During this period, the biggest acquisition has definitely been the Skeleton Generals," Fang Jie looked at the strength of the Skeleton Generals.
There were already eighteen thousand Skeleton Generals of Silver Level 9 here. Just sending so much Silver Combat Power to Flower Plateau could probably plow through the entire plateau.
The same level of Iron Puppets, created with all-out effort up to now, only amounted to three hundred.
This number of Iron Puppets was barely better than nothing; Fang Jie didn’t even plan to bring them onto the battlefield.
The flying troop type, White Bone Vulture, however, had reached one hundred thousand, enough to fight and suppress those bats. Fang Jie organized his forces and then discovered that he was slightly short on ships.
"Must engage in a few more naval battles to try to obtain the ship design plans."
Fang Jie muttered to himself quietly, but these things depended on luck.
