Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Repairing the Plank Road in Open, Secretly Crossing the Wei River

The plan was set, but things couldn’t just be left as if nothing had happened.

In the following period, Rory found himself occupied with new affairs as his team began to bustle with activity.

Through recent developments, Rory had become incredibly powerful. Although the number of his subordinates with Gold-level combat power had always been just three, specifically, those three Holy War Puppets.

Even Silver-level combatants weren’t numerous, most of them being Puppets.

However, below the rank of Silver, things were different. Rory now had over a thousand at the Bronze level. Yes, it was that exaggerated, as there were always those who hoped to join a major force.

Most importantly was the fleet. Fang Jie had sold off a portion of his ships, many of which Rory had purchased.

Now within the Sea Alliance, the strength of Rory’s fleet had reached a moderate level.

One could say that if war were to break out at sea, although Rory would still not be a match for the Keli family, he would no longer be without threat. At the very least, he could inflict substantial losses on the Keli family.

For this reason, the pitiable family had recently been attempting to mend relations with Rory.

To outsiders, they had officially recognized the legitimacy of Rory’s break from the family. Of course, in business, the struggle was unending, but in all aspects, they were nearly suppressed by the capabilities of the Material Trading House.

During this time, Rory, along with his subordinates, continued to search for construction sites, but also kept making demands, needing to locate new Undead Temples.

Indeed, it was Fang Hao who had directly suggested this, a strategy decided upon by Fang Jie after assessing the situation of the Sea Alliance.

However, this strategy was actually a ruse.

Beyond the open sea, in a special location, Fang Jie had hidden a maritime fortress. If needed, it would take less than an hour to reach Golden Sand Island, and it was very close to the temple’s location.

Underwater, Ghost Ships and Sargassum Ghost Ships were prepared, ready to enter combat mode at a moment’s notice.

Even the situations on the opposing side were constantly monitored with special methods.

Were it not for the omnipresence of the aura of light on Golden Sand Island, rendering it impossible to conceal Undead, Fang Jie might well have excavated there, creating special underground spaces to hide his own troops.

"Milord, there have been some changes at the temple. After our investigations, their military strength has diminished," Fang Hao routinely relayed the information to Fang Jie. Upon reading this message, Fang Jie’s eyes lit up.

"By how much has it decreased, and how much top-level Combat Power remains now?"

Fang Hao immediately replied, "They’re down to just five at the Gold level now, far less than before." Indeed, previously, there had been at least fifty Gold-level Combat Powers defending there.

With only five remaining, there was only one possibility: they were also mobilizing for war in full force.

No choice, really. As the strongest enemy, Molten Island required their full commitment every time, otherwise, they stood no chance. The Light Elves lacked logistical support and could only rely on their formidable Combat Power.

The rumor was that Molten Island was connected to a Demon Region, from which it could continuously send powerful Demons. A single misstep and their entire Golden Sand Island could be completely destroyed by the opposition.

In fact, Golden Sand Island was a valve to control Molten Island, playing a crucial role in the Sea Alliance.

If Golden Sand Island couldn’t hold back Molten Island, other isles would definitely come to their aid at the first opportunity.

It’s a pity that Molten Island followed normal rules and procedures for passage and couldn’t break them on their own initiative. Many in the Sea Alliance couldn’t understand why their ancestors had agreed to let these beings join.

Communicating with the Demons of Molten Island was nearly impossible, almost identical to the Undead situation previously on Quisha Island.

Staying here brought absolutely no benefits. They could only helplessly watch as Molten Island held many top-tier ores and gemstones, which couldn’t be extracted and remained on the island.

As days passed, Quisha Island’s need for an Undead Temple began to subside gradually.

To outsiders, it seemed as if Fang Hao had truly abandoned the notion of negotiating with Golden Sand Island.

Some were initially concerned that they might directly join forces with Molten Island and launch an attack on the Light Elves. Many had been ready to stop them, but now it seemed utterly unlikely.

One day, Rory released news that they had discovered new information on the continent.

If the news was true, then they had found the Undead Temple.

Although it was just a rumor, many still believed it. Temples weren’t common, but they weren’t exactly unseen either. No one would be surprised if they managed to find an Undead Temple on the continent.

The effort and resources they had expended in their search were visible to all.

Finding it on the continent wasn’t an odd occurrence at all.

Consequently, it led to even less concern from Golden Sand Island about the situation at the temple. In the past few days, the defense of the Undead Temple on Golden Sand Island had returned to normal, monitored by only one Gold-level combatant.

The Silver level, although numbering a hundred, was also definitely not numerous.

And these past few days, the black smoke from Molten Island had grown thicker, and their military strength might continue to lessen.

"Continue the surveillance. Forget it, I’ll go too. It’s just a few days; they won’t make much difference," Fang Jie had intended to keep waiting here, but instead, he decided to set forth directly to the Sea Alliance.

Fang Jie didn’t use other means of travel, but boarded a Blood-colored Battleship.

This Blood-colored Battleship had never appeared in the vicinity of the Sea Alliance since its construction. However, to ensure his own safety, Fang Jie wouldn’t possibly avoid using such an excellent vessel.

A day passed, and there was no movement from Molten Island. The second day went by, and Molten Island began to stir.

Fang Jie knew that the volcanic eruption on Molten Island would occur within these few days.

"It’s said that each time Molten Island’s volcano erupts, they are able to summon some Demons from the Demon Region with the power of the underground Molten Lava. This time should be the same. It’s just that the intensity is uncertain."

Fang Jie was somewhat worried. If the intensity of the attack wasn’t strong enough, the timing would become even tighter for him.

Using some special methods, Fang Jie and Fang Hao stayed in constant contact. Fang Hao had been keeping an eye on Molten Island, but he couldn’t get too close, and he had to do it underwater, lest their presence be discovered and complicate matters.

The Light Elves were no fools. Once they detected their presence, they would certainly figure out his intentions. The Light Elves could reinforce their position quickly, and if they were caught, escaping wouldn’t be easy.
