Chapter 391: Chapter 336: Demon Beings’ Bewitchment_2

David helplessly said, "Even Lord Dunn can’t do anything against them."

"And it seems that Rod George has quite an extraordinary background as well, being closely related to one of them."

Owen Bertram could only sigh upon hearing this. He had been somewhat puzzled as to how Rod George could have detained Otis King and the others. For what purpose could Rod really hold the forty artificers from the Military Equipment Department?

Now he understood that Rod George merely intended to temporarily keep Otis King and the others in order not to leak the news prematurely. He wouldn’t kill these forty artificers because he was fearless and secure in the knowledge that he had powerful backing. Even if the news eventually came out, it wouldn’t matter.

Owen Bertram sneered, "In this kind of case, Rod George, as the primary culprit, should be the perfect scapegoat and should be directly killed.

But they were able to protect Rod George, which means they were extremely confident and believe that they would not face any serious consequences. Utterly outrageous! Has my Wood Dynasty really become so rotten?"

"Can Master Lane and Lord Dunn save this kind of Imperial Court?"

David didn’t speak further. This time, the case had truly cast a heavy shadow on everyone’s mood.

Owen Bertram secretly shook his head. Those people were not even willing to put in the effort of making up a scapegoat. His previous judgment wasn’t wrong; such a dynasty had already reached its end. Those with great ambitions should hide in the undercurrents, accumulate strength, and observe the changes in the situation. One day, they would transform into dragons and fight in the Nine Heavens.

Owen Bertram’s heart pounded: Did he also have such an opportunity to compete with the heroes of this world?

At this moment, he didn’t know that the owner of the White Cat had already unified the West Ridge, and the owner of the Vermilion Bird had already claimed dominance over the Southern Wasteland.

...

Before Otis King and the others had fully researched the Triple Heaven heavy magical weapon, Owen Bertram had already refined four Rune Array Cannons and four heavy crossbows in the meantime. He took his men and placed them in several key positions. In combination with the thirty Beacon Fire Spirit Platforms in the Extinction Domain, the overall defense system was beginning to take shape.

Owen Bertram stood with David on a half-constructed outpost, looking into the Extinction Domain: "How has the operation of the Beacon Fire Spirit Platform been recently?"

"The treasures refined by you, sir, are naturally very useful. Although the current number is still insufficient, it has already begun to play a role: we have detected a significant increase in the number and activity of demon beings through the Beacon Fire Spirit Platform.

The aggressiveness of the demon beings has also been increasing, and in just a few days, six Beacon Fire Spirit Platforms have been damaged. But this is all within our expectations.

The five hunting teams were all equipped with replaceable components, and we would notify them to proceed with repairs in time, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire early warning system."

Owen Bertram was fairly satisfied and asked, "What about the gains of the hunting teams?"

David laughed, "It’s better than we anticipated. Nathan Lane has contacted a group of buyers through Topeka Hall, and they should be arriving in the next few days. We estimate that our monthly income should be around one million Spirit Jade."

Owen Bertram was also pleasantly surprised, "So much? It seems that there are indeed many demon beings in the Extinction Domain."

The two of them talked while walking down from the outpost.

Twenty-four such outposts were planned to be constructed, the main body of which would be built of huge stones and reach a height of 45 feet. On top of the platform, there will be four Rune Array Cannons, four heavy crossbows, and two Long-arm Rune Launchers.

Once the main body is completed, the Array will be used for reinforcement. In addition, the various outpost positions will be redesigned according to the specific circumstances of the outpost.

Owen Bertram also planned that if there are enough Spirit Jade in the future, some key positions in the outposts would be upgraded to Organ Mechanism Fortresses.

The one they were currently standing on had just completed the construction of the main body from huge stones. They walked down the steps, and a military officer came running towards them, saluting Owen Bertram and reporting, "Sir, a hunting team has just withdrawn from the Extinction Domain, and they said they have something to report to you. The team leader of the Fifth Great Realm is here."

Owen Bertram looked over, and the leader of the hunting team turned out to be Master Megan.

Master Megan was quickly brought over, she lowered her head and said, "Sir, we discovered a special demon being and dared not act recklessly. We ask you for instructions on how to deal with it."

"What kind of demon being?"

Master Megan spread her hands, releasing a spiritual light that projected an image: in the center of the towering mountains, there was a gentle valley. The river flowed through the valley and joined the distant rivers. In the valley grew a gigantic dandelion, as tall as an ancient tree that had lived for ten thousand years. The green grass on the ground was dotted with colorful wildflowers like numerous stars in the sky. But they could not hide the numerous corpses buried in the ground!

Owen Bertram’s heart moved, but he asked calmly, "Master Megan, why do you say this demon being is very special?"

Master Megan said, "Because it was not originally on our hunting route, but it used one demon being after another to lure us there, and then we saw this."

As she spoke, she flipped her hands and the image in the spiritual light changed, showing the situation at the mouth of the valley. On the ground lay the corpse of a demon being and a pile of Spirit Jade.

The original, uncut Spirit Jade stones that had just been mined.

Owen Bertram was slightly taken aback, looking at Master Megan. The old nun looked up for the first time with the courage to meet Owen Bertram’s gaze, "Sir, the old nun had the same idea as you, this demon being wants to trade with us!"
