Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Now we can let loose

Negotiations with the Beastmen were swifter than Fang Jie had imagined, as they were even less fussy than the Elves. Basically, it involved naming a price upon meeting, followed by a brief discussion.

Although it was a member of the Fox Clan, a rather astute elder, who was responsible for the negotiation,

it was still those burly fellows who made the final decisions, members of the Beastman royalty from the Lion Clan. As a result, everything was easily settled within two days.

With the transaction’s completion, the people of Moon Night Island and Beastman Island also received news from the Empire.

The high-ups of the two islands almost cursed aloud, but they were completely powerless.

"We’ve received the message; almost half of the Legends on the two top islands were sent by the Empire behind the scenes, meaning these people don’t actually belong to the islands themselves."

Fang Jie nodded slightly upon seeing the report in his hands. Since he was dealing with two empires, Fang Jie couldn’t possibly remain idle. After all, compared to others, the people from these two empires were relatively simple-minded.

Thus, some secrets that they didn’t deem very important easily fell into Fang Jie’s hands.

"If war breaks out, will the death of these people affect the attitudes of the two nations?"

A subordinate Hero immediately said, "No, we have obtained their internal intelligence. Once the war starts, they will evacuate these people back. As long as we don’t intercept them, there will be no issues."

So they would evacuate upon war, meaning they were merely for show now.

"What’s the reaction of the high-ups of the two islands to this?" By way of the backing Empire, Fang Jie had a profound understanding of the two islands and could even interfere with them to a certain extent if he wished.

"After our investigation, we found out they don’t know about this at all."

They don’t know? Right, such a thing would be embarrassing to admit since it essentially meant giving up their subordinates.

Although they were not from their own race, abandoning subordinates still looked awful when spoken aloud. So this was something that could be done, but never admitted. It was even possible that if he took over the two islands in the future, the island elites might face assassination from the Empire behind them.

In that case, couldn’t he simply take drastic actions?

"No, we can’t launch a full-scale attack immediately; it would expose some things. We need to solidify things completely and create a fait accompli. Furthermore, we must wait for a Demigod Level powerhouse to emerge before openly declaring."

Fang Jie pondered silently, but while he couldn’t fully expose himself yet, there were some things he could start acting on now.

Thinking this, Fang Jie immediately said, "Send a request to the Sea Alliance; we’re beginning warfare. At the same time, we’ll attack Golden Sand Island, Dark Spirit Island, and Blade Island."

"Understood, my lord," the subordinate Hero Unit immediately left, and the whole Territory began to operate.

The already busy Cabinet and Parliament became even busier.

It was foreseeable that once the three large islands were conquered, they would become even busier. After all, those islands were by no means small.

Moreover, at this time, the future rulers of the three islands had already begun the handover process.

Dark Spirit Island and Blade Island were both Human islands. Dark Spirit Island was originally prepared for Li Ren, whose Territory had reached the level of a town, waiting to transition there later.

As for military force, Fang Jie was the provider, as Li Ren himself had no forces to use.

Of course, most of the profits from such island conquests would be handed over to Fang Jie.

Li Ren had no complaints about this, as he himself was not capable of conquering such a top-tier island.

As for Blade Island, it was reserved for Qin Shulan. Qin Shulan had always been busy with matters of the sea, and Fang Jie couldn’t ignore her contributions.

Besides, becoming a lord of an island would also help her support the Sea Alliance’s activities better.

Regarding Golden Sand Island, it was prepared for the Dark Night Elf. The designated proxy lord was Shadow Moon.

However, Shadow Moon directly appeared before Fang Jie to object, "I don’t want to be a lord. Leave that to someone else. We are a subsidiary race to you and must protect you by your side. As the Clan Leader, I cannot leave."

During this period, with the strong support of abundant resources, Shadow Moon’s power was gradually nearing the Golden Peak level. Once the requirements were met, Shadow Moon could begin the push toward Legendary Level using Secret Techniques.

Overall, in terms of strength and methods, Shadow Moon may not match Fang Jie, who had also reached the Golden level. But in terms of Combat Ability, Shadow Moon far surpassed Fang Jie, with assassination skills that Fang Jie couldn’t even compare to.

"You’re the Clan Leader and the Territory’s proxy lord. If you don’t take charge, who can I assign it to?"

Fang Jie was also troubled; the numbers of the Shadow Elves had grown enormously in recent times for the sake of propagation, but there was not a single powerful individual among them. Besides Shadow Moon at the Golden level, the strongest others had been weakened to Bronze.

Even their potential was very low, and it would take step by step effort to recover.

It could be said that this generation of Shadow Elves were almost entirely sacrificial, existing for propagation. To raise the potential of the offspring back up, even with Fang Jie’s full support, it would be impossible without more than ten years.

Even with ten years, that was Fang Jie’s best-case scenario calculation.

"Just hold the title for appearance’s sake. After all, I don’t need to show up for the actual development of the Territory. When necessary, I’ll just go there briefly," Shadow Moon said indifferently, as if completely unconcerned.

Alright, Fang Jie also knew that Shadow Moon truly didn’t care.

When loyalty was at its maximum value, protecting Fang Jie was the most important thing in Shadow Moon’s heart.

As for the Territory and all matters of power, they never occupied a place in Shadow Moon’s thoughts.

"Alright, alright, then just hold the title temporarily," Fang Jie could only compromise helplessly. After all, even if he forced Shadow Moon, it would not yield a good outcome; it was better to maintain the status quo.

Shadow Moon smiled slightly and then merged back into Fang Jie’s shadow.

Fang Jie froze for a moment. Shadow Moon seemed to have just smiled, right? For so long, it was the first time Fang Jie saw Shadow Moon show a smile. It was undeniable; the smile was beautiful, even making Fang Jie momentarily bewildered.

But while things had calmed down on Fang Jie’s end, the Sea Alliance was thrown into chaos.

Applications for war were plenty each year and not particularly noteworthy. But what was happening this time? One after another, the big islands were being targeted. It was unprecedented to apply to attack three islands at once, a situation never seen before.

Even the dullest of individuals could sense something was amiss.
