Chapter 503: Chapter 503: A Good News and a Bad News

The islands gradually stabilized, so Fang Jie no longer stayed on Worm Island.

Fang Jie returned to his Main Territory, feeling most free here. Although there weren’t many sycophantic followers here, and Undead were everywhere, Fang Jie still felt this was the most reassuring place.

As for Qin Lan, she returned to Feifeng City. There was no choice, as the Southern Territory had not been completely dealt with, and a new Territory had been added, which made everyone busier than before.

Moreover, many people, for their own interests, started various activities.

Indeed, they couldn’t become Nobles, but they had all sorts of titles, which came with privileges nearly equal to those of Nobles. In every new piece of Territory, such people were bound to emerge.

Although they had no lands of their own, they could still hold office, becoming the rulers of a region.

Once they rose to power and encountered no mishaps, that was nearly as good as being a Lord of before.

The only difference was that they couldn’t legitimately own the territory, but many troubles were also kept at bay, without requiring their own resolution. They didn’t have to stay on guard against attacks from other Lords all the time.

In short, as these forces slowly set their sights on the new Terratories, the members of the Cabinet became exceedingly busy.

Not to mention, the two newly divided Parliaments had a lot of matters to communicate between each other, with much work to be handed off. The fact that Qin Lan managed to find an opportunity to leave for a while already spoke to her strong work capacity.

Now that she was busy, she really had no time to attend to Fang Jie.

After some time passed, Fang Jie received a report from Anya that day.

Indeed, during this time, Anya had always been on Kapala Island, helping her father stabilize the new Territory.

"What’s happened, Anya?" Fang Jie had a fond impression of this hardworking young girl. After all, formally speaking, she was one of his people, and perhaps in practice as well.

Anya quickly curtsied, "Master, I’ve come to report on those who attacked us previously. After investigation, we’ve basically cleared things up."

"Is that so? Was there anything noteworthy about the attackers?"

Anya pursed her lips, "There is one piece of good news and one piece of bad news."

Fang Jie was startled, watching Anya with interest; surely, this was taught to her by someone else. Otherwise, with Anya’s character, she would never dare to quip like this before him.

But this was also a way to close the distance, probably taught by Qin Lan.

"Let’s hear the good news first then."

Anya sighed in relief, her small hand gently touching her chest, endearing Fang Jie.

"The good news is that among those who directly attacked us, there were no individuals from the Big Islands, the strongest among them was just from an island nearly of medium size."

Fang Jie was startled, "How is that good news? That sounds like bad news to me. I had intended to go to war with the Big Islands."

Anya hung her head and said nothing, not sure if Fang Jie was serious or not. "What about the bad news, then?"

Anya cautiously looked at Fang Jie before speaking, "The bad news is that the attackers were just too chaotic, coming from all over, and retaliating against them won’t be that easy."

Fang Jie laughed, "I think that sounds like good news."

Anya was surprised; how did it become good news again? Perhaps her understanding differed from her master’s.

Fang Jie nonchalantly said, "Since it’s chaotic and widespread, that means we can affect more people. They will certainly try all sorts of ways to mess with us, but as long as we have provocations, we hit them back directly."

"We must let them learn what ’even distant enemies must be attacked’ means. Only then will they dread the mention of us."

Indeed, Fang Jie planned to intimidate these people thoroughly. In future actions, the obstacles he faced would diminish. Maybe they knew that continuing in this way wasn’t viable, but they wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

Otherwise, without instilling fear in them this time, the resistance he’d face next time would be even greater.

Even Fang Jie was certain that more pirates would emerge around Kapala Island.

As it stood, quite a few fleets were already covetously circling the vicinity of Kapala Island. If it weren’t for considerations of the numerous ships surrounding the island, they might have attacked already.

"Inform Hillciss and the naval forces, let them figure out what to do."

Anya could only acknowledge the order; war was not her affair, after all. Anya was merely responsible for communication. Perhaps Hillciss thought Anya would be easier to talk to.

With Fang Jie’s orders, the army became active once again.

Originally, only part of the forces had been withdrawn and sent to the Southern Territory for use.

The majority that remained were still in that place. Hillciss made a public declaration to retaliate against those forces that had previously attacked them, and then he publicly listed these forces.

These forces were scattered everywhere, and many were indeed legitimate on the surface.

However, now Kapala Island didn’t care; they were set on attacking. With the two top Big Islands unable to partake, everyone else could only watch.

One fleet after another set sail, and those forces were, after all, not very strong.

At this moment, on a small island, a group of men were drinking.

"Damn it, Kapala Island really dared to attack us. If we hadn’t run quickly, our losses would have been significant. Next time we find an opportunity, we must retaliate and make sure no merchant ship passes."

The group cheered loudly, seeming to forget that the Material Trading House could directly transfer materials.

Maybe they were deliberately ignoring this fact, for wouldn’t that strike at their morale?

"Don’t worry, boss. Even though we didn’t gain the upper hand this time, our strength has increased. Many others are in exile, and by absorbing some, our Strength will grow significantly."

Indeed, initially, although Kapala Island’s upper echelon was held back, many from the middle ranks escaped.

They found various ways and means to flee before the decisive battle was fought.

Now many were struggling to get by and could be directly recruited without issues.

But as they were reveling, an explosion suddenly sounded outside, dust began to fall from the ceiling, and the massive tremor toppled numerous things from the tables.

"Curse it, what’s happening?"

Suddenly a pirate burst in, "It’s bad, boss, it’s really bad. We’re under attack by enemies."

"An enemy? Who would come to such a place? And what’s with the intensity of this attack?"
