Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Finally Breaking the Stalemate

Mianhai Port had lost its fleet and now had no strength to protect itself.

Under the attack of the Undead Army, it didn’t take long for the entire island to be captured. The speed was so fast that the surrounding forces failed to respond in time, as the situation had not been such before.

Originally, weren’t they supposed to attack their opponents? How come their home base had been destroyed by the enemy so suddenly? It was unbelievable.

But when they finally did react, of course, they wanted to come to the rescue.

Although they didn’t have to lift a finger, they still had to say something. If they had an unrestrained neighbor nearby, they’d definitely feel uneasy, unable to eat or sleep well.

It’s just that the Undead Army’s actions were much faster than theirs.

Before long, the entire family in control of the harbor was captured. Then, by matching the aura emanating from them to the signed Contracts, it was easy to distinguish that these things were real, not fake.

This news, since it was publicly released, couldn’t possibly be hidden by anyone.

By the time the first power to react arrived with their people, they discovered that the news had already spread.

"What do we do, should we still intercede on their behalf?"

"Intercede? Now that their guilt is confirmed, what’s the use of speaking up? Haven’t you heard how bad their reputation is now? Speaking up for them would just tarnish our own reputation."

"But after all, we’ve had good cooperation with them," someone said quietly.

"Our cooperation was good, but we never mistreated them, and they profited much more. Now their family is finished."

That was the most important point. Mianhai Port and the controlling family were done for; they had no future. It made no sense to offend a powerful entity for the sake of a finished family.

"Forget it, let’s go back, it’s too late."

However, the team leader suddenly gestured with his hand, "Go back for what? Let’s go find Fang Hao and congratulate them on wiping out an evil clan hidden within the Sea Alliance. We can use this opportunity to strengthen relations."

The others were taken aback, not expecting this maneuver.

"And you few, hurry back and have your families prepare a generous gift."

The several individuals behind were a bit stunned but still took their leave to carry out the order.

This news quickly spread to all the surrounding areas. Some reacted quickly and came over to congratulate; others, who were slower in responding, arrived after hearing the news.

But they didn’t get to see Fang Hao voluntarily; they only met Rory, the person in charge.

Rory took advantage of the occasion to put forward his demands. Those who had been watching and hesitating showed a different attitude this time. Some thought it over, while others agreed on the spot.

For some small islands, one Material Warehouse was sufficient, but it could save them a great deal of trouble and expense. Most importantly, they themselves could earn a significant share from these profits.

Rory openly disclosed the profits that the New Port family had earned in this period.

Although it was only a few days, the profits were very substantial. Seeing this, many more were envious.

"I really didn’t expect such a large profit from this."

"The more people there are, the greater the benefits. I see now, the biggest income for the Material Trading House is probably from the storage of materials." Someone else discovered what others hadn’t noticed.

This wasn’t just about the convenience of transporting materials; storage was where the real profit was at.

Especially for perishable goods, which were plentiful for those at sea, but with the storage facilities—treasures like a Gold-level warehouse and its preservative features—it was a different story.

Later, Rory also made public the force attacking New Port as well as New Port’s defense forces.

When everyone saw that a single Grave Guardian Demon Spider had almost completely suppressed the entire Blood Sail Pirate Group, they finally realized how terrifying such strength was.

Many started nurturing other thoughts. If they could have a warehouse built on their territory, wouldn’t that mean they’d have a powerful defense force for free?

Without any cost to themselves, the warehouse would undoubtedly fend off any attacks.

If for some strategic locations, just holding the fort meant saving extensive military force and strategizing. The mere presence of such warehouses was a significant deterrent.

As for attacks on themselves, they weren’t worried. Aside from a few top-tier powers, most smaller forces didn’t need to fear such a threat from a large power since there was simply no need.

And if the other party truly wanted to deal with them, they could easily find a pretext.

The top-tier powers weren’t worried either; after all, it was just a Material Warehouse, not a military garrison.

With the deterrence of force on their side and the prospect of benefits, it was inevitable for them to be moved. Rory was elated; his venture was finally taking shape, promising a bright future.

Then Rory took others to see the ship tomb, where a large number of destroyed Blood Sail Pirate ships lay.

Not only were these their ships but also those of the fleet from Mianhai Port were now placed in this location, piled up haphazardly without any order.

However, many things on those ships showcased their former status and significant power.

Now they were all just fragments here. Seeing this, many changed their minds.

Surely with such a deterrent, no one would dare to mess with the Material Trading House outposts anymore, would they?

"I apply to build an outpost on Hongjian Island; we can engage in deeper cooperation." Finally, someone openly agreed without needing to discuss; the deal was purely beneficial.

"We need to conduct inquiries first, and only after meeting our requirements will we build."

The other party just nodded. Now that they were the stronger power, others had to follow their rules.

It’s the same everywhere; only the strong can set the rules, and the weak must comply. They might have been resentful, but after seeing the outcome of the battle, that resentfulness dissipated.

Merely an outpost’s strength could reach such a level—so their overall strength must be formidable among the Big Islands.

But never mind; such troubles were for those with great powers to worry about, not for the likes of them.
