Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Ranking Improved Again

After a large influx of airborne forces joined the South, the campaign in the South accelerated significantly.

Although the Goblins were tough opponents, they were still Goblins after all. Prolonged battle would infect them with the plague, which they would then spread among their own kind.

The Goblins used a special method where once an individual was found to be infected to a certain degree, they would be eradicated.

Yet this method still couldn’t completely solve the problem, and the plague continued to spread. The Beastmen controlling the Goblins from behind also felt extremely thorny as they kept retreating.

It seemed they were always gaining the upper hand, but in reality, that was not the case at all.

The spread of the plague and the environmental damage were worsening their situation progressively.

Therefore, after dispatching a part of the troops, Fang Jie stopped paying attention to matters in the South. He needed to consider the offensive on the other side of the river, where the forces were fewer and the resistance much greater.

"This is terrible, trouble is coming," Qin Lan’s words caught Fang Jie’s attention.

"What’s wrong? It better not be pregnancy; that really would be troublesome now."

Qin Lan’s face reddened, and she elbowed Fang Jie, "What are you thinking? It’s not so easy."

Qin Lan was no ordinary person; her heart held a Half-Elf, and she was continuously transitioning more towards an Elf. Getting a Half-Elf pregnant was much more difficult than with humans.

"Let’s stop joking. I just saw that our ranking went up."

"No way, it went up?" Fang Jie found that he might have underestimated himself. This ranking was about the contribution to the gods, albeit only on this Plane.

The first time the rankings were released, Fang Jie was surprised to find himself at number seven.

But when he saw the others, he realized that it was normal. It was even miraculous for him to rank so high, higher even than some Demigods.

But now Fang Jie realized he might have underestimated himself.

He had thought everyone was like rolling a snowball, surely getting stronger and the gaps growing. Some strong folks behind him could potentially surpass him; none of that was surprising to Fang Jie.

But suddenly, Fang Ji realized that his snowball was rolling faster.

Although the gap with the first place was getting bigger, the gap with others was actually shrinking.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to surpass the one in sixth place, now making them seventh.

"Indeed troublesome," Fang Jie also felt a headache coming on. Had he known it would be like this, he should have slowed down. But now he had already expanded, slowing down intentionally would surely be noticed by the gods.

And that would only bring greater trouble.

Had he known this would happen, ignoring the river’s utility would have been perfect.

At the time, Fang Jie was only worried about being left too far behind; who could have predicted that those Undead Lords would be so futile.

"What should we do now?" Qin Lan looked at Fang Jie, somewhat worried.

"What else can we do? Send out more troops to various places to fend off other attacks. If they attack too fiercely, even if we run into problems, the Cloud God will have our backs."

Fang Jie was helpless, being just a silver-tier Undead Mage, he was too conspicuous.

So conspicuous that many a time the Undead Army, upon encountering him, would attack without a word. Some wanted to test his strength, some simply disliked him.

And some might have been subordinates of other Undead, specifically aiming to weaken his power.

Especially now in the great battle in the North, most of his encounters involved fighting other Undead. Even if Fang Jie tried to avoid conflict, if the other side insisted on fighting, he had no choice.

Might as well, if they wanted to fight, then bring it on.

After all, if nothing went wrong, there would be no concern; if something did happen, they struck first, and he wouldn’t be at fault.

Fang Jie didn’t believe the Cloud God would just watch others target his subordinates.

This time, as Fang Jie’s ranking rose, he indeed encountered attacks of a higher level.

Perhaps they thought that even under constant attack, his rising rank was an insult to them. These Undead clearly disliked him even more for being a human.

Fang Jie just made arrangements, then continued waiting at home.

"These guys, I don’t know what they are thinking, that this method could even rise to this level; is it really just good luck?" Fang Jie felt speechless time and again.

During this period, he had been subjected to assassination attempts more than once or twice.

Calculating since he started building the Affiliated Territory, there had already been over thirty assassination attempts. Only five of them were carried out by natives of this world, and they weren’t highly dangerous.

The other assassinations were the doing of other Undead.

This wasn’t an act of just a wave of Undead; there were many, and some were even carried out directly by the Undead newcomers to this world. Not their subordinates, they directly made a move on Fang Jie themselves.

Unfortunately, Fang Jie was quite careful with his life; he set up strong Barriers that were maintained day and night, which they simply couldn’t breach.

And once they approached, they would be detected immediately by the defensive structures scattered everywhere.

Therefore, they only had one chance to attack, and upon realizing that they could not break through the Barrier, they would quickly be surrounded and eliminated by others. However, out of so many assassination attempts, two assassins managed to escape.

One used a Space Skill to flee, and the other actually fought their way out.

Both as Legendary figures, that individual among them had absolutely no simple strength, especially in terms of Defense Ability, which was among the strongest. This further made Fang Jie respectful; this world was indeed not simple.

"Well, we can only continue to strengthen our defenses. Let everyone not leave the Barrier range unnecessarily to avoid assassination."

Having been subjected to so many assassination attempts, the attackers didn’t completely fail to achieve their goals. At least two of Fang Jie’s officials had been killed. Since it was done by Undead, even their Souls weren’t preserved.

After these two incidents, no one bothered to go out for a breath of fresh air anymore.

Right, the previous two didn’t take it seriously enough and insisted on going out to breathe some air. Maybe it was because they felt elevated by their high status; who would have acted like this when they first joined?

But as soon as they went out, they were assassinated. Once the attackers realized they couldn’t break through the Barrier, they simply eliminated them. It was really just a matter of convenience; for those powerful assassins, hunting them was all too easy.
