Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Choosing an Island to Develop Power

To everyone’s surprise, after that night, Fang Jie had thought the Keli family would take immediate action.

Whether it was to strike at Rory or negotiate with them, there should have been some movement. Regrettably, it had remained calm.

"They are not taking action yet simply because they don’t want to give away their intentions. Once they act now, everyone would associate it with them."

Rory wasn’t surprised to hear this news either. For such a large family, although the three brothers were useless, there were still some capable people, just without much authority.

Moreover, to maintain such a big family, the upper echelons couldn’t possibly all be completely incompetent.

At least in terms of intrigue and scheming, those people were absolute experts, not something ordinary people could contend with.

"So what do you want to do now?" This was Fang Hao, who had just arrived from Quisha Island.

There was no choice, Quisha Island was occupied by Zombies year-round, and the environment there was harsh. Undead might not mind, but normal people on the island, if they lacked strength, would definitely fall ill over time.

Therefore, Fang Hao could only come out and communicate with Rory.

Quisha Island was too large, and with Fang Jie’s pace of transformation, it would not be possible to remodel it anytime soon.

Besides, those natural barriers themselves aren’t necessarily a bad thing before the layout is completed.

Rory said directly, "I think, I can take this opportunity to develop and strengthen my own forces, and choose my territory first. After they make their move, I will properly fight them. But I need your help."

Now, Rory, having completely attached himself to Quisha Island, referred to himself as a subordinate.

Such matters were not uncommon in the Sea Alliance, so they did not cause any adverse thoughts among others.

As long as he could develop, people would only see his success. As for Rory’s defection, that hadn’t spread. In fact, defections within families were happening all the time.

It’s just that Rory’s status was somewhat higher, being part of the main lineage, making this case a bit less common.

But even if people came to know, it wouldn’t be surprising.

"I can offer you protection and even provide you with three Holy War Puppets initially, the price can be settled later," offered Fang Jie to ensure Rory’s safety.

After all, if Rory could develop now, it would greatly enhance their reputation.

Moreover, it would draw other people’s attention this way, causing no issues elsewhere. What they planned to do thereafter would be much easier.

This was not just Fang Jie’s own idea, originally it was a plan given by Qin Lan.

"Thank you, I need you to help me capture an island, just this island."

"This island? Are you sure?" This was an island that didn’t even have an official name; it was quite large, reaching the scale of a medium-sized island.

But this island was just too remote, perfectly avoiding all the shipping routes, located at the very edge of the ocean. Because there were no people, the area had many dangerous Sea Beasts.

And the entire island’s primary terrain was mountainous, making the geography extremely complicated, with no suitable areas for constructing ports.

Many people had explored and found that the island also lacked any minerals.

In essence, this place, despite its size, was practically useless, with development costs too high, making it unproductive.

Lastly, any capable force wouldn’t choose to occupy this place, turning it into a deserted island. But deserted islands aren’t easy to take over; substantial strength was required.

After all, with many dangerous Sea Beasts nearby, without the ability to subdue these beasts, taking it over was pointless.

Additionally, the island itself posed problems, although desolate, it was not completely uninhabited. Contrarily, the people living there were fierce and highly xenophobic, with strong capabilities.

Many were outright pirates, and it was said that many pirate bases were located in such places.

Thus, without Fang Hao’s support, Rory alone couldn’t possibly take over.

"Although remote, with the transmission from the Material Warehouse, there should be basically no problem. For communication, it can be completely managed by White Bone Vultures and Skeleton Birds passing through several locations."

"But after taking this over, the island’s capacity can accommodate many people for training, and I can use this as a base to develop my own strength."

"This island is remote and no one will mind, by the time they notice, I believe I will already have acquired significant strength. If not, it would only show my own capabilities."

Fang Hao nodded slightly, "Alright, since you have this idea, I will help you."

"But you cannot affect the development of the Material Trading House, this relates to our next planning."

Although Fang Jie was willing to help Rory, since Rory was useful, if it affected his own plans, then he could only let it go. Fang Jie wasn’t a charitable man endlessly helping an outsider.

"Please rest assured, I have already planned everything."

Since Rory had no issues, Fang Hao also started preparations.

In terms of military force, there were no problems, and that day some warships set out. However, to stay covert, they used various Ghost Ships and Sargassum Ghost Ships capable of underwater navigation.

Other transport ships employed had set out from Flower Plateau, taking a roundabout route to this remote place.

Some supplies prepared for Rory were stored here. Once the Ghost Ships arrived, a clearing operation around the entire ocean commenced immediately. The Sea Beasts lurking here were eradicated.

Afterwards, leaving some Death Lobster Man troops to patrol here seemed sufficient, believing those Sea Beasts wouldn’t frequently appear in this area anymore. The internal clearing of the ocean was thus concluded.

"Stone Island has been formally applied for by me, and no one will likely discover it any time soon."

Rory had named it Stone Island, as the place originally resembled a large stone.

"I’ve already scouted it thoroughly, there are about a dozen pirate groups, and those natives are just their disguises. There are only three major pirate bases here, as long as they are eradicated, there won’t be any problems; they don’t have other bases outside."

This was the news Fang Hao had obtained after a day of scouting, and its accuracy was not low.
