They have angels.

The heretical shepherds of the East also have angels... Both are churches, embroiled in internal strife, and temporarily have no time to wage war against Canaan!

However, the hidden dangers and undercurrents are like surging waves and undercurrents. The more Su Yue explodes and the more powerful the apparent prosperity becomes, the more people secretly harbor malice towards him... The world is a double-edged sword.

Those who enjoy the benefits of fame and fortune will inevitably be thrust into the limelight! This is an inevitable outcome.

“Lord Luke…please, send troops to attack Canaan…I dreamt of nightmares, they all came from Canaan…” A socialite from the United States hugged the bald head of the elderly Grand Duke of Bathor.

“Lord Akara…we need to reorganize the Canaan territory so we can reclaim the ‘Kavrwit’ territory, and then we can earn even more profits…I’ve got my eye on a ruby ​​necklace…”

The lord of the European region, a man from the West, including Japan named Suda, gazed coldly at the location of the Canaanite territory of Su Yue in the east...

"How many times have you been red?"

He vented his anger, and the Japanese pro player beside him, Hisao Sekiya, said, "We need to take covert espionage measures against the lord of this Canaan territory."

"It's a pity that the Turin world swallowed up reality, otherwise we could have seduced them in reality..."

"How do we do it?"

"Send our female players from the land of cherry blossoms to find Su Yue, then establish a romantic relationship with him and fall into his hands..."

"Just like Yoshiko Kawashima back then."

"Hi!!"

"In the name of the Emperor's unparalleled power, we Japanese can defeat the Russian bear... and we can definitely re-establish a prosperous ruling circle in the Turin world! And Su Yuejun, this peerless powerful lord, is the first target we must conquer!"

Wearing a demon mask, Kitaro, as an A-rank talent lord of Japan, commanded a formidable force of demon warriors. He calmly stated:

“He has far surpassed our strength, but scheming doesn’t care about strength… I have a younger sister named Saeko, who possesses the skills and level of the top courtesans in our country throughout the ages!”

"Saya?"

"Yes, I also know a female socialite lord named Yuezi, who can be given to Su Yue's side, and I will offer myself as his bedmate."

"...Every man has weaknesses."

"That's right..."

"Of course, they need a disguised name from the Dragon Kingdom, preferably to impersonate a Dragon Kingdom lord to get close to Su Yue. This is probably just the plan that Yuezi and Shazi are making on the surface."

"The real dagger is the woman from the Dragon Kingdom..."

Who studies in China?

"We also have a lord here named Suzuki Tsumugi. She is a talented woman who graduated from the Chinese Language Department of Waseda University... Her appearance and looks are also unparalleled, and she is a female officer in the Imperial Army."

"Very good, proceed with the plan!"

"clear!"

"The ways to bring someone to zero are, firstly, a gambling addiction, and secondly, a woman's infatuation. We need to move all the assets and power of this Dragon Kingdom player named Su Yue to Japan, whether it's to seize profits from him or to win him over through women. He should become one of our Japanese."

"Hi!!"

The Japanese conspiracy was successful, and they were extremely cunning and treacherous, choosing a conciliatory tactic... In contrast, the US was much more direct, starting their conspiracy right away!

But would Su Yue be afraid?

...

Su Yue was unaware that his "crazy" actions over the past five days had finally provoked a reaction and action from major national-level forces. Previously, they had all assumed Su Yue was strong and ahead, but not to an exaggerated degree... However, after learning about the development of Su Yue's territory, they could no longer sit still.

"Boss... I've got word that Japan, the US, and Europe all want to get you. You might want to keep a low profile for a while..."

"Oh……"

Long Qing naturally recruited spies in various countries.

Su Yue ignored Long Qing's words, but knew he meant well. After receiving a huge sum of money from him, Su Yue handed over "Rick's Guard Building Blueprint x1" to Jin Xiuer and continued browsing the Turin World forum.

Gregory knelt respectfully on one knee. Su Yue had a very high opinion of this lord who had zero military expenditure, and his feelings for him were filled with complex pity. In addition, the lord traits that Gregory had provided made Su Yue extremely satisfied with him.

"Gregor...how much more time do you need to recuperate before you can mobilize a large army?"

He plans to deploy his forces today and launch a probing attack on the northern dwarven fortress... It certainly won't be able to be taken in a day... Within the fog of war on the map of the dwarven fortress, the fortress line alone stretches for thousands of kilometers. What Su Yue needs now is a feasible battle plan, and he needs to begin mobilizing troops and improving organization...

Gregory, as a hero, did not leave the journey, while Idya, the hero-god, has already departed... I wonder if he went to sea again...

They simply teleported and tore through the material plane, the elves couldn't stop them at all, and Su Yue didn't even know when his map had lit up a new space...

The surrounding area was shrouded in the fog of war... He didn't know where that place was either. Idya was like a treasure-hunting frog, always returning with unexpected surprises and great gains!

—Cthulhu Dragon Fleet Port (Tier 8 large port building, special, unique, mythical), trade tariff +25%, tradable resource production +20%, ocean territory range +80%.

Large sections of the fog on Su Yue's map were instantly illuminated!

He could even see many small fishing villages temporarily built in Qiweier City, as well as the coastal scenery of many territories outside the mudflats!

Some beaches are covered with dense forests... others are villages and fishing villages, and still others, according to Su Yue, are deserted rocky beaches... These maps were not created by his own initiative, but rather all the locations near this area were incorporated into his territory by the Cthulhu Dragon Port!

In other words, these villages, small fishing villages, and the people nearby have all been effectively brought under the rule of the Canaanite territory!

Eric is getting ready to receive them.

Of course, a written order from Countess Joanna would also be required!

"80% increase in ocean territory range, that's terrifying!! The range is huge, it's almost half of Canaan!"

"A 25% trade tariff will allow future Devil Cult caravans to profit even more!"

"But the key point is still the latter part: +20% for tradable resource production. What exactly are tradable resources?! What resources are not tradable?! Coal, steel, metals, gold, timber, abundant forest resources... even thorn berries from farmland, these are all tradable resources..."

Su Yue discovered that the production of all resources within his territory had increased by a whopping 20%!

These are just the basic attributes of Dragon Harbor!!

"Territory Legend +5, Territory Trade Transaction Probability +30%, Ocean Merchant Attraction +10%... and other miscellaneous bonuses, plus special effects, Devil's Reef, and the most terrifying—hidden attribute, the impression of Cthulhu's Gathering Place."

Su Yue stared in shock at the distant Cthulhu Dragon Port!

This thing has the title of Cthulhu on its head.

This means that this place will become a new "Innsmouth community," a town in Innsmouth! What does the successful establishment of this port town in Massachusetts mean?

This means that Su Yue will have a Cthulhu-style city base!!

"The city within a city... it's safe now!"

"The greatest hidden advantage and benefit of this port is its Cthulhu stronghold. Before, the people of Innsmouth felt like they had no home. Now that they have a home, they have a sense of belonging. My Cthulhu power will develop rapidly, and the shipbuilding, shipping, fishing, and even marine resources such as canning plants will expand rapidly!"

Just thinking about it made Su Yue feel like ants were crawling all over his body. He wished he could jump over time, but he knew he had to proceed steadily and surely!

"—Cthulhu's Evil Breeding Ground: This building has been corrupted and degraded by the Cthulhu god Id Ya, becoming a breeding ground for Cthulhu mythos species. The probability of Cthulhu creatures being born increases by 11% each calendar month."

"Cool!!"

Looking at the vast, cloud-shrouded Devil's Reef at Dragon Harbor, Su Yue felt an inner sense of exhilaration that was simply indescribable.

He was absolutely thrilled.

He hadn't focused on this area before, but the sense of accomplishment that Kim Soo-ah brought, the satisfaction of building an 8th-tier super-large building, and that exhilarating feeling made him feel as happy as if he had eaten ice cream in the summer!

"The shipyard... I hope Kim Soo-ah can get the shipyard up and running today... Having a port but no ships is basically a waste of resources!! And it's a crucial one. Once we have ships, we can go to Chiwell City... Chiwell City is now connected to Joanna, who is the nominal count..."

Su Yue did what she thought of...

Joanna was being attended to by two noble ladies, dressed neatly, and her face flushed slightly as she recalled the madness of the previous night…

She gave up her most precious chastity.

She handed it over to the lord of Canaan, and the lord did not disappoint her. After a while, he rushed over to visit her. She had thought that she was only using Su Yue.

Now, watching him run towards her, she felt a surge of emotion from his passionate running. She realized she seemed to have an unusual fondness for this handsome, powerful lord, a feeling akin to fluttering heart and falling in love…

Joanna knew that as a countess she should suppress these feelings, but a soft spot in her heart was indeed being touched by Su Yue... and it was a persistent feeling.

"Baron Su Yue? You've arrived?!"

The two ladies-in-waiting quickly bowed their heads in greeting...

Seeing the two kneeling on the ground, Su Yue smiled and said, "I have something to discuss with you..."

"What? You want me to write a document and deliver it to Chiwell City?"

"Yes, I need to trade with Qiweier City, and even seize control of the town at crucial moments. Only in this way can we better purge the Empire's rebel forces."

Su Yue did not reveal his intention or perspective to invade Qiweier City at all. Instead, he presented his words and schemes to Joanna.

In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Abraham!

Extremely cunning!

"Ah?! That's true... If the two forces are not united, they cannot exert their full strength. I'll write it down right away!"

Su Yue smiled as he looked at Joanna's profile... He chuckled, "You're so beautiful, you're making my heart flutter again..."

Su Yue touched her wrist. Women are most susceptible to sweet talk. Although Joanna was a count, she was also deceived by Su Yue's sweet talk and rhetoric. Meanwhile, the count's butler said, "Miss, could Baron Su Yue of the Canaan Lords have any intention of using you or plotting against you?"

"..."

Joanna immediately stopped writing and shook her head, saying, "No, there's no way. The riots are ongoing, and the mobs are attacking all the 'distinguished people' of the empire. How could Su Yue possibly take advantage of the chaos? Qiweier City does indeed need to cooperate with Lord Su Yue's plans and actions!"

"..."

The butler said, "I have a feeling that he is like a venomous snake, harboring ill intentions... Once Qiweier City falls into his hands... it will probably be very troublesome to get it back later."

Joanna was distracted and didn't listen to the butler's advice at all. She said, "Even if Qiweier City is handed over to the Su Yue people, I won't feel bad. It's just a small port city on the coast."

The butler's eyes flickered. He thought to himself, "Chivel City is the only outlet to the sea for the entire 'Kavrwit' Earldom... How could it not be important?! Miss, are you truly misled? Or are you simply unaware of this?"

Joanna laughed and said, "Once I return to my position as Countess, I will appoint Baron Su Yue as the Grand Admiral of the Seas!"

"..."

It’s over…

The butler felt a deep sadness.

Su Yue took Joanna's letter and immediately wrote his own letter to Qiweier City, requesting that their garrison cooperate with Su Yue's naval forces in stationing themselves... In short, they were acting as an inside agent. The Devil Cult was also infiltrating Qiweier City to lay the foundation and make preparations for his future rule.

Furthermore, Su Yue intends to leverage public opinion, using the sentiment of attacking the imperial rebellion's eastern expeditionary force as leverage, and exploit the morale of the people of Qiweier City to launch a similar attack on the Elf Empire! He wants to show them the results of the battle, the strength of the war, and hope, thereby taking over the current city lord of Qiweier City... and then seizing the position of city lord himself.

Another point is the trade attribute of Dragon Port; its only trading partner is Qiweier City! This is a matter of interest, and Su Yue naturally wouldn't miss out on trade.

The people of Innsmouth received the news and set out with the Canaanite messengers.

Within the Canaanite territory, an aura of steely marchers, as if a storm was brewing, permeated the air... Su Yue smiled as he watched Europa, while Gregory began mobilizing his troops...

His gaze rose, and his chin tilted slightly upward.

The distant dwarven fortress was obscured by clouds and mist, but Su Yue pierced through these clouds and mists, bypassing the fog of war!

Their gaze and attention fell upon the distant northern fortress of the dwarves!

"Railways...vast and endless mineral resources...already wealth, plus the need to open up a second territory..."

"The conquest of the Northern Fortresses must begin."

Abraham appeared behind Su Yue, and respectfully smiled, "Master..."

"kindness?"

"Frederick Huntington II requests an audience with you."

"Oh? What is it now?"

Huntington Frederick II, with a pipe in his mouth, is now the First Advisor to Canaan. He spends his days working in the advisor's office, which is always filled with smoke. To be honest, Su Yue hates the smell of smoke.

Therefore, I generally don't go to his office area.

To everyone's surprise, he pulled out a stack of paper documents and said, "Take a look. If needed, we can release them anytime!"

"Holy shit!!! Holy shit!!! This is fucking amazing!"

"The Declaration of the Restoration of the Nibelung Empire by 'Dragon Slayer' Huntington Frederick!!"

"You're going to announce your resurrection to the material plane?! And then establish a new empire?! What the hell?!"

The people of Su and Yue were all devastated!

Frederick Huntington II looked at Abraham, his eyes seemingly lost in thought, and said, “Of course not now. You have already offended the Holy See, and coincidentally, I am also at odds with them… I personally believe that ‘the Emperor’s response should be to strip the Church of its secular rights and wealth, because this is the root of their corruption.’”

"They hate me to the core; they kill me once, and I am resurrected once."

"This document is a double-edged sword."

"If one day you are abandoned by the Bato Empire and completely regarded as a heretic, you may consider establishing a new empire..."

"!!!"

Damn it, who said god-level NPCs are useless?! This old man, Huntington Frederick, actually managed to help me rebuild the empire?!

What's going on?!

What's going on?

I'll build my own human empire? That sounds absolutely mind-blowing!

Su Yue was furious, but he also knew that establishing an imperial power next to the Bato Empire was tantamount to directly waging war against them, a direct confrontation, something that should never be done unless absolutely necessary. But not doing it didn't mean Su Yue couldn't do it!

He has this trump card... It's like having an extra position and room to retreat in order to get rid of the threat of the Barto Empire and the Holy See's attacks on evil forces!

It is important to understand that strategic depth is crucial in any era!

And this document.

It gave Su Yue an extremely powerful, even explosive, escape route!

Huntington truly lives up to his reputation as a god-tier NPC! How many more surprises can he bring us?
