Chapter 388 - 388 388 Remember to Walk Farther Away

388: Chapter 388: Remember to Walk Farther Away 388: Chapter 388: Remember to Walk Farther Away Thinking that Marquis Coruas had agreed to give him fifty thousand Gold Coins without even a meeting, Zhao Guang felt delighted.

For Marquis Coruas, fifty thousand Gold Coins might not have been a lot, but the act of extracting them was certainly satisfying.

Indeed, others might not have been able to produce such an amount, but Marquis Coruas had to.

After all, he had orchestrated the entire affair, and if he did not deliver, his reputation would have been stained.

If that were the case, others would likely not collaborate with him so readily in the future.

Everyone had hurried over like defeated roosters, only to find such an outcome.

At first, caught up in the excitement, they hadn’t felt it, but now they were truly exhausted.

Not just exhausted but also cold.

Indeed, it was winter now.

How had they not felt this upon arrival?

With everyone assembled, a document was quickly signed, although they wouldn’t dare deny it even without the document.

But with this document in hand, they had even less courage to deny anything.

Moreover, the presence of this document would most likely make Marquis Coruas’s face turn quite sour.

“We can leave now, right?” Gu Liqi said dejectedly, even clenching his teeth.

Zhao Guang waved his hand, “You can go now, just remember to go far.” After all, these people were now his clients, and Zhao Guang was still pleased to be courteous to them.

“We will move beyond the northern slope’s range,” Gu Liqi said solemnly.

Zhao Guang sighed.

If only he hadn’t mentioned that.

Everyone could have pretended ignorance, and when they established their territory again, he could have taken advantage of them once more.

But now that it had been said, he couldn’t keep silent.

“The range of the northern slope?

That is not within my territory.”

“Wait, isn’t the territory granted by His Majesty the King supposed to go up to the northern slope?”

It turned out they knew after all.

They still dared to intrude, knowing full well.

Although Marquis Coruas had orchestrated everything, they too were at fault, and Zhao Guang felt no remorse about exploiting them.

Such a pity, Zhao Guang thought to himself.

Then Zhao Guang took the document and showed it to them, “See, this is the actual border.

You must have seen the markers I placed when you arrived; that was the boundary.”

The few men looking at the range specified in the document nearly burst into curses.

This is your territory?

Why so vast?

It even extends into Beastman territory and the Plague Swamp.

According to these borders, if they wanted to establish their own territories, they would either have to go inside the Beastman Empire or into the Plague Swamp.

Otherwise, they would have to seek territories far from his lands.

But moving away from here, the competition in other places was even more fierce.

“How could you apply for such a vast area?

Do you know how much tax you’d have to pay annually?”

An individual pointed tremblingly at Zhao Guang, astonished at such a person’s audacity.

Was he trying to drive them to their deaths?

Having already become pioneering lords, without the ability to establish their own territories, their lives would be ruined.

Thinking about that bleak future, none of them looked good.

“A trifle amount, just a trifle.

Don’t worry about it,” Zhao Guang said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

In that moment, they felt the full crush of wealth from the rich landowner.

You’re rich, you’re amazing, you can occupy such an expanse.

But what about us?

What are we supposed to do?

They dared not say anything because they still had their wits about them.

If they were to cause trouble here, looking at the soldiers surrounding them, each one eagerly itching to capture them.

If that were the case, their own consequences would probably be even worse.

Gu Liqi looked dejected, “Well, we’ll move further away.”

Zhao Guang nodded slightly, “No worries, in my territory, I assure you all of safety.

Coscola, take them out and let them get a good look at our border.”

After that, Coscola left with the group.

When these people had come, they set up tents so swiftly, but now their packing was painfully slow.

Zhao Guang had his men help them out, though their methods were somewhat rough, but the others did not mind, did they?

As he watched them leave, Zhao Guang shook his head and walked back, having already done the preparation work.

He had intended to annoy Coruas a bit, but it turned out this guy didn’t even have that bit of intelligence.

“Did no one notify him, or does he really look down on me?”

It was unclear, but at the moment, Zhao Guang didn’t take Coruas seriously, considering the considerable distance between them.

It would only be when his territory had developed further that he might confront him directly.

“Master, the river has frozen over, can we start the activity you mentioned?” Xi Fei asked eagerly, having seen similar videos before, which could solve a significant part of their food problem.

Although they were not short of food, such an activity could definitely enhance their sense of unity greatly.

“Really, the weather has turned cold so quickly, let’s prepare then.

We’ll do it today.”

Zhao Guang himself hadn’t really felt it, as due to his great strength, the temperature drop only felt slightly chilly to him.

If not for the surrounding whiteness, his bodily sensations would have told him that this was just a temperature suitable for spring or autumn.

Xi Fei and Jeana cheered, calling people to bring out the equipment.

This was something Zhao Guang had prepared long before, a set of tools for winter fishing.

Each year, watching videos of people pulling up loads of fish from the water during winter, Zhao Guang had long wanted to try it himself.

The primitive ecology of this world was better, and the North side had not been overfished by too many people; the rivers were already full of fish, suggesting a potentially larger harvest.

Zhao Guang, following the various steps he had carefully studied before, led his people in searching for a spot on the ice.

Spiritual power spread out, and fish were everywhere below, seeming as though every spot was a good one.

“Let’s choose this spot here, it’s the densest,” finally, Zhao Guang picked a spot, and they began to drill holes.

They didn’t even need tools; someone walked up behind and punched down with Combat Energy, making a hole.

Moreover, the control was very good, ensuring no cracks would spread out around it.

After a few punches, under the gaze of the crowd, they began to lower the fishing net.

The surrounding people widened their eyes, watching to see if it was really that easy to haul up fish in the depths of winter.

After all, fish was meat, and with these, the winter would become much easier to get through.

The Rabbitfolk were even more excited; they didn’t know that the territory wasn’t short of food.

These past few days, some Rabbitfolk had been scrimping and secretly hoarding food.
