Chapter 56 -56: Unexpectedly Bumped into an Acquaintance
Under Fang Jie’s command, the army immediately advanced, and it wasn’t just any ordinary force.
A squad of Black Iron level units rolled towards the interior, crushing everything in their path as if they were fragile waves breaking against a rock.
As the troops pushed forward, the Skull Soldiers were annihilated one after the other.
“What do we do?
We can’t escape; we’re surrounded on both sides of the valley.”
Qin Lan stood atop a higher ground, anxiously watching the encroaching forces on either side.
The valley had been a good defensive position as long as the two sides were held, but now, faced with a strong attack, there was no escape for her.
The green-skinned Little Elves around her jumped about, and if one could see their morale, it would be apparent that it was steadily declining.
“Lord, the opposing army is made up of Black Iron level Undead; our current strength is no match for them,” a Wood Elf whispered next to her, his gaze fixed on the mouth of the valley.
This Wood Elf, born from Qin Lan’s troop-building structure, had been a stroke of luck when she had advanced her village and obtained the structure.
It’s just too bad that the Wood Elf Shooters were ranged troops and couldn’t replace melee ones.
Otherwise, Qin Lan wouldn’t have continued trading for so many skeletons.
But the biggest problem was that she didn’t even have any subordinates at the Black Iron level.
At the valley entrance, several hundreds of Black Iron Combat Power had already entered, along with a multitude of low-level skeletons.
Wait, skeletons?
And those Black Iron level Undead – Qin Lan seemed to think of something.
“Let them in; we’re no match for them anyway,” Qin Lan waved her hand, and her subordinates immediately carried out the order.
These troops had some level of intelligence, but were nothing like normal people, nor were they Hero Units.
They could speak, but their communication was straightforward and limited to basic interactions.
It didn’t take long for Qin Lan to see a large number of Undead entering the valley, completely encircling her Territory.
“Skeleton Generals, Skeleton War Elephants, all Bronze level?
How did he do that?”
Qin Lan’s pupils shrank.
Her side didn’t even have Black Iron level combat power, and the enemy had already fielded Bronze level troops, which were already organized.
She hadn’t heard of the Undead Camp being so strong.
During her previous upgrade, although she could have switched camps, there were only two ways.
One was to get close to a native of a Camp and convert to that current camp, or it was random between two, letting her choose one.
She heard that other lower-challenge areas simply involve a random choice of Camp.
She didn’t even have a choice; her Camp was a matter of luck.
It was only that those who were near superior Camps would choose to become members of those Camps.
Before long, Fang Jie entered the area with his Guard Team.
“Where is the Lord of this place?
Wood Elf, or the Elf Camp, a very powerful late-game Camp,” Fang Jie muttered to himself.
Of course, he didn’t directly reveal his thoughts, with Fang Hao the Skeleton General standing beside him.
The Wood Elf Shooters were ranged troops, even though they were just Apprentice level, but Fang Jie still feared a sneak attack.
Qin Lan slowly stepped forward: “I am the Lord here, Qin Lan.
You’re Fang Jie, the big shot, right?”
Fang Jie hadn’t expected to be recognized: “That’s right, it’s me.” He glanced outside and was somewhat stunned; the woman was simply too beautiful.
Never mind that he had been staring at bones until he was nearly problematic, even back on Earth, a beauty like her was extremely rare.
She was simply natural-faced, yet more beautiful than most who had spent great effort on their makeup, exuding a soft charm of the riverside towns of the south.
But then Fang Jie came to his senses about where he was: “This place will be my territory from now on.
You have two choices, submit or leave.”
“If I leave, I’ll lose my Lord status; what will I do then?”
Qin Lan was quite confident in her charm, and Fang Jie’s momentary reaction didn’t escape her notice.
But the following reaction by Fang Jie made Qin Lan respect him somewhat, as he didn’t indulge in lust.
But if Qin Lan lost her status as a Lord, not to mention whether she could survive in the wild, even if she did, entering other cities with her own strength would not allow her to protect herself well.
Besides, Qin Lan was ambitious; how could she just fall here?
Fang Jie shook his head: “No, not necessarily, as long as you level up to a town, you get a chance to relocate.”
This was a new ability Fang Jie discovered after leveling up to a town.
He could choose a new coordinate and move the town there.
However, after the move, the building would become a level 1 Lord’s Cottage again, and he would have to start from scratch.
All previous buildings would remain in place as public buildings.
However, it was possible to transfer his troops, which were still his.
All the schematics he had collected would also be preserved, so it wasn’t a total reset.
But it would inevitably lead to a period of vulnerability, giving those in dangerous territories a chance to make a new choice.
Qin Lan only considered it for an instant, then dismissed the idea.
Not to mention whether she could find a suitable place to relocate to since all areas were occupied by others.
Even if she could find one, would they give her a chance to develop to a town?
With such a large area already under occupation, she certainly didn’t have enough resources to upgrade.
So when Qin Lan heard Fang Jie’s words, she knew she had no chance of taking her Territory and leaving.
“What about submitting?” Qin Lan was slightly angered but still suppressed her temper.
“After upgrading to a town, you will gain the ability to have Affiliated Territories.
As long as the level of a Territory is lower than the town, it can be made into an Affiliated Territory, with various restrictions possible.”
This was something Fang Jie was aware of, although he didn’t know the specifics of the restrictions, as he didn’t have any Affiliated Territories yet.
Qin Lan frowned and looked up at Fang Jie, quickly weighing her options.
She had only met this person once and could infer some things about his character.
Even if she submitted, he likely wouldn’t dare do anything direct to her, otherwise there would be no point in negotiations.
If she encountered someone truly despicable, she would definitely choose to fight to the death.
It seemed she had no choice but to submit, but even in submission, she had to increase her bargaining power.
Thinking of her own advantages, Qin Lan said, “I choose to submit.
What do I need to do?” This was outright capitulation.
