Chapter 506 - 506 506 The End of the Valley Battle

506: Chapter 506: The End of the Valley Battle 506: Chapter 506: The End of the Valley Battle “Master, is the talk over?” Xi Fei looked at Hawks leaving and immediately came up to ask.

Zhao Guang walked as he spoke, “It’s over.

The Royal Family has a trade deal with us, and they have their own transactions as well.”

“Did he come here in person for the sake of the Royal Family’s matters?”

“Half and half, I suppose.

The main concern should still be the trade of the Sibar Family.”

This time, they acted unethically, making profits for themselves but leaving their partner, Zhao Guang, stranded here.

Although it’s difficult to travel in winter, it’s not impossible if necessary.

Now Hawks was also worried that Zhao Guang would no longer do business with them but would sell to others instead.

If that were the case, the Sibar Family would become a laughingstock.

Of course, that generally wouldn’t happen, but treating everyone equally would also bring no benefits to them.

Having recently learned about these matters, Xi Fei understood quite well as soon as Zhao Guang explained, “So, Master, what do you mean?

Are we still going to strengthen cooperation with them?”

Zhao Guang nodded, “Although they haven’t done very well, they have helped us in the past, so we shouldn’t openly cause trouble for them, as it would not be good for our reputation.”

Xi Fei kept silent as Zhao Guang continued, “Therefore, some of the previous items will still be exclusive to them.”

“As for other general items, we can treat everyone equally, allowing everyone to purchase from us.”

Suddenly, Zhao Guang furrowed his brow, “Wait, in doing so, the Sibar Family would benefit too much and we would likely become too bound to them.

Thus, we need to switch our approach.”

“What should we do then?

Reduce their supply?”

“No need.

If the supply is reduced, they will just increase the prices.

My plan is to find a few suitable allies and grant them exclusive distribution rights for some items, thereby distributing the load.”

At least, he wouldn’t have to bind himself to any one family, making it appear as a normal business activity.

As for the Sibar Family, they couldn’t complain as they were left with so many benefits.

Who let them act unethically in the first place?

Zhao Guang roughly knew their thoughts.

They probably thought that even if he came to the Northern Territory, it would be difficult to stabilize the area for a long time.

Even if stabilized, it would likely be surrounded by other local nobles, hindering development.

In such a case, they would only be able to rely on the Sibar Family as enemies were everywhere.

Then, any advantage could be taken by the Sibar Family.

What they did not expect was that Zhao Guang had managed to stabilize and even expand his territory so swiftly.

Moreover, with the recent southward movement of the Undead Mages, a massive influx of population was expected, and the development of Xuanwu Territory was imminent.

This was bound to become one of the next powerful territories in the Empire, even possibly a top-tier territory.

Hawks regretted not having supported him more from the start.

Zhao Guang’s approach was thoroughly magnanimous, leaving them with no grounds for complaint.

Once Xi Fei understood Zhao Guang’s intentions, the next step was to choose allies.

As for the Sibar Family, they were inconsequential.

In Xi Fei’s heart, the master was everything; everything else could be ignored.

Zhao Guang then went to meet Hora to discuss slave matters.

Since slaves were now easier to capture, Zhao Guang directly cut the price in half.

Just for fifty thousand Gold Coins, one could purchase a million slaves.

The price was so incredible that even Zhao Guang found it hard to believe.

Of course, these slaves were just of the ordinary type.

If they had special talents or possessed great strength, the price would be higher.

Or rather, those were where the real profits lay.

Considering purchasing these talented individuals, Zhao Guang figured that it might cost hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of Gold Coins.

Talent truly is the most precious, no matter which world one is in.

After finalizing the plans, Zhao Guang returned to his regular life.

Massive constructions had begun, but his talented subordinates had already mastered the language and script of this world, and the work had entered regular operation.

With some auxiliary staff, all he needed to do was steer the direction.

Even when it came to territory planning, Zhao Guang had revised it multiple times in a game-like fashion, completing a rough outline of the territorial map.

Although manpower was still insufficient, one more or less made no difference.

With plenty of free time, Zhao Guang began to study and practice intensively, striving to enhance his own strength.

With a wealth of knowledge, Zhao Guang researched one Spell after another, and his Magic Power was increasing rapidly recently.

With this pace, he might soon break through again.

Therefore, selecting the next stage of Talent Magic was imperative.

A few days passed quickly; just as Zhao Guang was about to return to Earth to get busy, another piece of news arrived.

“What?

It’s over already?” Zhao Guang looked at the report, somewhat incredulous.

The report was simple, stating that the battle in the Great Horned Bull Wilderness led by Marquis Coruas had ended.

Looking at the outcome, the Undead Mages had won, and the scene on Marquis Coruas’s side was devastating.

Of course, that was the case based on publicly available information.

The Great Horned Bull Wilderness had lost control, now out of the domain of Marquis Coruas.

And Marquis Coruas’s elite forces were almost completely wiped out.

They were now only capable of defending their existing territory from invasion.

As for what might happen if the Undead Mages continued to attack, no one knew.

At this moment, Marquis Coruas was seeking assistance from surrounding territories and the Empire.

Soldiers, food, and various supplies were included in the requests for aid.

The nearby Xuanwu Territory was, of course, one of those asked for help, and it was already being publicly promoted.

“Is the information in this report accurate?” Zhao Guang felt a bit impossible, as Marquis Domain’s elite troops couldn’t be that weak, which seemed different from his impression of what elites were.

Of course, it wouldn’t be surprising if those Undead Mages went all-out and achieved such a result.

However, based on Zhao Guang’s understanding of the Undead Mages, they would absolutely not have gone all-out.

During actual battles, protecting their own power and hiding their capabilities were more likely what they would do.

Sometimes, the wars among Undead Mages resembled escalation tactics, slowly intensifying.

A lot of historical cases where massive numbers of Undead emerged and then failed were due to internal issues.

Therefore, no matter how he looked at it, the report seemed unusual.
