Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Temporary Hibernation

"Not bad, not bad, he’s already reached the rank of Earl. That was quick," Fang Jie nodded in satisfaction after receiving the message from Jia Siwei. Although not a hereditary Earl, becoming one wasn’t an easy feat for ordinary people.

In this world, earning a noble status was extremely difficult, as defined by long-established conventions.

Once you reached the rank of Earl, even those with noble backgrounds were not commonly ennobled.

Because at this level of nobility, one was considered part of the absolute upper echelons, able to participate in the formation of national policies. A war like this wouldn’t normally give birth to a new Earl in one go.

In this conflict, Jia Siwei might be the only person to be ennobled as an Earl.

To be made an Earl through a single campaign, from just a common person, would be legendary for anyone.

That was the significance of setting an example. As for the many fallbacks and traps set up by the New Moon Kingdom, Fang Jie truly didn’t care. After all, a non-hereditary Earl was still at the core of the kingdom.

Some of the kingdom’s secrets, Fang Jie believed, would come to Jia Siwei’s knowledge after some time.

The most important thing for Jia Siwei as a noble was to clarify the real strengths of the two nations. Only by knowing their strengths could Fang Jie more easily calculate the true power of all the major forces.

The crucial question was whether to annex the two nations immediately or to continue waiting.

If the opponent was weak and he waited too long, it would be a waste of time for his own development. Fang Jie didn’t believe others would show mercy once they had grown strong and faced him.

Similarly, if the opponent was strong and he attacked directly, it would definitely be suicide.

Having understood this point, Fang Jie kept supporting Jia Siwei.

As for subsequent developments, Fang Jie had placed Jia Siwei in the Blue Sand Kingdom because he planned to have Qin Lan stay in the New Moon Kingdom. Behind the New Moon Kingdom, there was a vast forest.

After subduing the forest, it would suit the Elf Camp to hold sway over it.

Qin Lan was located close to this region, so it wouldn’t require too much relocation and would be easy to control.

Originally, Qin Lan was in charge of the entire territory’s commerce, but with development, Fang Jie felt that this was no longer appropriate. Many people had their own domains, managing their own commercial teams, and the functions overlapped with each other.

Continuing like this could lead to chaos. Fang Jie’s idea was to divide territories in the future, each managing their own. And Qin Lan would act as a supervisor, monitoring everyone’s finances.

But this was only the authority to monitor, not to manage, amounting to a deprivation of Qin Lan’s rights.

It was with a feeling of unease that Fang Jie pondered assigning this region to Qin Lan’s management.

He had already discussed this matter with Qin Lan, and everything was so perfect, very suited to the current situation.

Just when Fang Jie thought the two kingdoms would continue to fight, what he didn’t expect was that the New Moon Kingdom, having just reclaimed its borders, didn’t push on but stopped.

At the same time, the Blue Sand Kingdom also halted.

One should know that the Blue Sand Kingdom had just hired a large number of Undead, including many Skeleton Flying Dragons. These Skeleton Flying Dragons had a time limit, diminishing with each day after being hired.

Not just there, the New Moon Kingdom had also increased the hiring scale of their White Bone Griffin Knights.

This indicated that neither kingdom was likely to let the other off lightly; they were accumulating Strength, ready to inflict a significant loss on the other. As for annihilating the opponent, no one believed it to be possible.

Such large nations couldn’t easily destroy one another.

With both nations lying low for the moment, Fang Jie had no choice but to shift his attention elsewhere.

To the North, on a vast expanse of grassland where both sides had been at a standoff, conflicts were now on the rise. It seemed that this area might engage in a major battle before the Southern front.

Previously, Fang Jie might have been concerned, but not anymore.

Because the North had given him enough time, and now the region was filled with plenty of Skeleton Flying Dragons and White Bone Griffin Knights. With no shortage of materials and spirit points, Fang Jie’s building efforts were in full swing.

Each time he completed a construction, Fang Jie promptly initiated a Fission.

Even after supplying some to the South, the number of Skeleton Flying Dragons in the North was still over a thousand.

The White Bone Griffin Knights were even more numerous, exceeding three thousand. With each delay, this number could potentially increase even more. The Lion-man Beast Emperor’s Strength on the grasslands was indeed very strong, but not infinitely so.

As the pressure from the other side mounted, the Beast Emperor finally grew restless.

The Lion-man Beast Emperor, with his dense fur, looked at the map and finally issued his command, "Let us attack, at noon tomorrow. I will personally be on the battlefield."

"But, but these Undead forces are very strong. If we face them head-on, after this war we won’t be a match for those Humans anymore." The Humans had been coveting the grasslands for more than a day or two.

"However, those Undead also can’t keep up the standoff with us indefinitely. Their gathered Strength grows stronger and stronger. Do you know that, recently, our food supplies have almost run out?"

The Undead didn’t need food to gather Strength, but the Beastmen did—they needed a lot to eat.

Despite herding, their production capabilities fell short of Humans, and food was truly insufficient.

"I understand, I will notify them immediately." The command was quickly distributed, and the Beastmen didn’t display their usual pre-war exuberance. Instead, they were all remarkably silent.

This war was different from the others; the outcome was uncertain, and regardless of the victor, the aftermath would be exceedingly tough.

Truth be told, if not for the pressing need of this war, if not for the fact that the opponent was the Undead, they truly did not wish for a battle that could only worsen their lot.

These Humans behind the Undead, they too grew stronger by the day, incomprehensibly so.

Yet, they were the glorious Beastmen, ready to die with honor if necessary.

Time passed swiftly, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye. The sun gradually reached its zenith, seemingly no different from any other day. But suddenly, the opposing Beastmen began advancing towards them.

Without probing or declaring war, they attacked abruptly.

Such a sudden battle might catch Humans off guard, but the Undead were different. They remained in formation, unaltered, and their phalanxes activated at once.

"Really, it would’ve been better if we waited another two days for our Gathering Spirit Tower to be
