Three days later.

After hiding from place to place for several days, Lin Hao finally returned to his territory.

The current Territory of Chaos has changed a lot compared to when he left.

The most obvious point is the land outside the city.

The vast land that was originally barren has all been reclaimed into plantations, and all kinds of rice, vegetables and fruits can be seen almost everywhere.

There is also a special militia patrol and a stone tablet to punish theft.

The penalty regulations on it are more deterrent than those of patrolling militia teams.

Lin Hao looked into the distance, taking in the current state of the city.

Whether it is the economy, military strength, or building scale, all aspects are already quite mature.

From a distance, it looks like a huge city that is impregnable.

When Lin Hao first arrived here, it was just a small town in a barren land.

Being able to reach this scale today is a miracle in the development history of the Sky Continent.

At this time, there was a lot of traffic in front of the magnificent city gate.

The passing caravans are being checked.

Just as Lin Hao landed on the ground, a cavalry team suddenly rushed over.

At the front of the cavalry was the general manager "Bai Lin", as well as many high-ranking generals such as Yang Wu, Luohan, and Dayu.

"Welcome back, Lord!"

When they got closer, Bai Lin and the others immediately dismounted, bowed to Lin Hao, and spoke respectfully in unison.

Seeing this, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

"When did you find out I was back?"

Lin Hao felt it was incredible that Bai Lin and his team were so efficient this time.

"After the incident with the real and fake lord last time, I specially set up a secret room, placed the rune jade slip that can sense you in it, and assigned several trusted people to take turns guarding it."

Bai Lin smiled and said, "As long as the jade slip senses something, they will report it immediately."

Hearing this, Lin Hao nodded secretly.

"My Lord, it has been nearly two years since you last left me."

Yang Wu was dressed in military uniform and stared at Lin Hao with excitement.

"Sir, where have you been these past two years?"

Luohan, Dayu and the others also gathered around excitedly, with curious looks on their faces.

"If you have anything to say, let's go back home and talk about it."

Bai Lin glanced around obscurely, knowing that Lin Hao's identity was sensitive, and made a suggestion.

Just like that, Lin Hao, surrounded by many high-ranking members of the territory, entered the city as if he was returning home in glory.

Lord's Mansion.

In the luxurious hall, Lin Hao sat in the main seat.

Bai Lin and the others faced Lin Hao, standing in order with awe in their expressions.

Looking at the many subordinates in front of him, an inexplicable sense of accomplishment arose in Lin Hao's heart.

Only here can he be considered a man in power who has absolute power and is not bound by various rules.

"Please give a brief report on the development of your territory over the past two years."

Lin Hao said calmly.

"Then let me start."

Everyone looked at each other, Bai Lin walked out first and said with a smile.

Given his current status and position in the territory, it is undoubtedly his duty to be the first to speak.

Bai Lin then prepared his words for a moment before continuing, "Your Excellency, the territory's economy has seen a lot of room for growth over the past two years."

"We have signed cooperation agreements with the four major chambers of commerce in the Sky Continent..."

After Bai Lin talked about some territory development plans, it was Yang Wu and his team's turn next.

For these generals, the topics raised are naturally about military matters.

From them, Lin Hao had a general understanding of the current military situation of the Territory of Chaos.

In terms of scale, it has already reached the level of a first-class empire, and even belongs to the top level.

Because of the training resources that Lin Hao left behind before he left last time, the overall combat effectiveness of the army has increased a lot.

Especially Lin Hao’s exclusive Berserker Legion, whose combat power is even more terrifying.

During this period, due to the rapid economic development of the Territory of Chaos, conflicts of interest arose with other imperial forces, and the Triple Alliance led its army to attack.

Not only did they win that war, but they also annexed several cities surrounding the imperial forces and directly included them in the map section of the Territory of Chaos.

At this point, the Territory of Chaos' current military, economic, and population bases have far surpassed its territory, and it has the potential to establish a dynasty.

"My Lord, shall we establish a nation?"

When talking about **, Bai Lin struck while the iron was hot and proposed with an excited look on his face.

"That's right. With the current military strength of our Chaos Territory, if we establish a dynasty, who would dare to stop us?"

Immediately, Yang Wu and other generals also agreed with excitement on their faces.

They have been waiting for this day and can't wait any longer.

But unfortunately, Lin Hao had not returned yet, and without a backbone, everyone could only react with hesitation.

After all, there is a country without a king, who dares to make the decision?

But at this moment, the return of the Lord undoubtedly ignited this idea in them.

"Founding a nation..."

However, Lin Hao fell into deep thought regarding the enthusiasm of his many subordinates.

Although he felt that this idea was feasible, establishing a dynasty meant becoming a king, and the royal family name passed down through the family lineage would inevitably be exposed.

By then, it would certainly cause quite a stir and might even attract the attention of the Deacons' Hall.

It's nothing like his current identity as a lord, which can be concealed at will. If there is anything, he can just arrange Bai Lin to take care of it without having to worry too much.

Therefore, the idea of ​​establishing a dynasty had to be put on hold for the time being.

"No rush, we'll make another decision later."

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, Lin Hao's voice was like a bucket of cold water, which directly dampened all their enthusiasm.

However, faced with the lord's words, although they had doubts, they had no choice but to obey.

"Bai Lin, you stay here. Everyone else should return to their respective duties first."

Immediately, Lin Hao sent away the outsiders and set up an isolation formation in the hall.

"My Lord, do you have anything to tell me?"

Seeing Lin Hao's mysterious behavior, Bai Lin's face turned slightly grim, and he vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong.

"Um."

Lin Hao nodded indifferently, "I am now a wanted criminal by the nine major palaces. If any members of the palaces come recently, don't have too much contact with them."

Wanted criminal?!

Hearing this, Bai Lin's pupils shook violently and he stared at Lin Hao in surprise.

As Lin Hao told him what happened in the Dark Palace Sect, the shock on the latter's face undoubtedly became more intense.

hiss!

Bai Lin couldn't help but take a breath, his eyes filled with horror.

Obviously, he didn't expect that the lord would be so powerful.

Even the guardian elders of the Dark Temple, a behemoth sect, were killed by him!

In this regard, Bai Lin finally understood why Lin Hao did not agree when the idea of ​​establishing a dynasty was mentioned just now.
