Chapter 130: Proposal for Territory Integration
After confirming that the situation did not pose a threat to them, the two turned back.
Three days later, an important meeting began in a certain territory.
"Please report everything I asked you to investigate. This concerns our new home. Everyone must describe it in as much detail as possible. I asked you to record the footage. Have you done so?"
The lord who was also at the top position said seriously.
The territory will soon be destroyed because of the war launched by the enemy. The situation is urgent and imminent.
The atmosphere of the entire meeting was dull and depressing.
The lord slammed the table, his face ablaze, and angrily shouted, "Damn it! If it weren't for the huge difference in strength, we would have to fight this time!"
The warriors around the round table were also filled with righteous indignation: "Lord, how about we go to war? Even if I die in battle, I don't want to give up the territory we have lived in for decades so easily!"
Each of them was very angry.
"You don't need to say any more." The lord exhaled. "Conserving our strength is the best plan. What we need to do this time is to find a territory that is weaker than us, but not that weak. Then, whether to expel the population of that territory or integrate them is not a problem. If we can integrate peacefully, that would be even better."
After hearing the lord's words, everyone below also said, "Yes, they must be weaker than us so that we can have a say. But they can't be too weak, otherwise there will be no need for fusion."
Integrating the population can make them stronger, and if they can integrate peacefully, that would be the best case scenario.
When the hostile territory issued a declaration of war to them, it said that peaceful integration would not be allowed. This meant that unless they escaped, everyone in the territory would die in battle.
That hostile territory also expanded on a large scale in this way, with the purpose of plundering resources, using the territory as a warehouse, and then becoming a territory merchant among those powerful territories.
Once all the resources in the territory are sold out, you can also sell the territory at the same time.
This type of merchant, who specializes in conquering territories and selling resources for a living, appeared a long time ago. In order to gain profits, they will fight to the death by any means necessary. Relying on the resources accumulated over a long period of time, they are almost always at an advantage in the war.
This time they also encountered such a war merchant and were issued a declaration of war.
As for issuing a declaration of war, usually there is no need to issue a declaration of war in territorial wars. You can just attack directly and end it all once and for all.
The reason for issuing the declaration of war was the agreement between the war merchants. In order to prevent the involvement of third-party merchants between the warring parties and damage to the interests of the original merchants, the war merchants established an agreement.
This requires that once a merchant issues a declaration of war to the territory, other merchants cannot interfere.
Therefore, those who issue a declaration of war are also war merchants.
"Alright, time is running out. In less than a week, the enemy will launch a full-scale attack on our territory. This time, the enemy is very powerful and we are not able to fight them. So, we must find a replacement territory as soon as possible. Even if it is frustrating, it is right to retain our strength."
The lord said with a gloomy expression, and slapped the table again: "Start from my right and report on your investigation."
"Lord, my people are responsible for investigating the situation in the eastern territories. In the backward areas of the east, they have discovered many very weak territories. Because they are so weak, the strongest among them is only at the level of Martial Saint. I don't think this should meet your requirements?"
"We can't be too weak. We hope to merge with the other party's territory and improve our strength. That way, even if we encounter war merchants in the future, we may not choose to escape." said the lord.
"So, the area my people explored doesn't meet the requirements for the lord's territory."
From the lord's right hand side to his left hand side, warriors who surpassed the gods of war recounted the results of their investigations.
The last one to speak was hesitant, but all eyes were on him.
In addition, the information provided by previous people did not meet the lord's requirements.
"The results of my investigation may be okay, but if we want to attack, it will be troublesome."
"Trouble? Wait, when did I say we must attack? Can't we integrate peacefully?" the lord raised his voice.
"If the two sides are evenly matched, the other territory is most likely to deny our request and start a war with us."
"You mean, the territory in that remote area is very strong?!" The lord was a little surprised.
"Yes, according to my people, he is very strong. You can see the specific situation after watching this video."
He brought a video that was projected as a holographic image.
Suddenly, the situation in Xuantian Territory appeared around everyone.
When they saw the situation in Xuantian Territory, they were not surprised at first glance. It was just that there were many Martial Gods in this territory, and there were also several who surpassed the Martial Gods.
It is indeed a rare situation in remote territories, but isn't that why integration is necessary?
But when they looked at the hundreds of mutant snakes outside the territory that were beyond the reach of the God of War, none of them remained calm.
"There are so many mutant snakes that surpass the Martial God? Wait, is this territory being invaded by mutant snakes?"
Everyone present was a little shocked.
"No, it's not what you think. You'll know if you continue reading."
The lord watched the rest of the video.
When the video got closer to the mutant snakes outside, all the mutant snakes looked at them warily.
Those eyes seemed to want to devour them.
They are all beings that surpass the God of War, and of course they understand the terrifying signal released in this kind of eyes. I am afraid that if a Martial Saint is stared at by this ferocious gaze, he will die on the spot.
"These mutant snakes, which surpass the power of martial gods, have strong coordination abilities and appear to be well-trained. Furthermore, they are not hostile to this territory, but are clearly hostile to intruders. This suggests... these mutant snakes were raised by that territory."
"Although it sounds hard to understand, after all, this is the first time I've heard of humans raising mutant beasts, but everyone has seen it. Could it be wrong? Do you think this is a magic trick?"
After these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
"That territory has the ability to train tamed mutant beasts. I think it's worth merging with them. Plus, their overall strength is sufficient. We can't lose this opportunity."
The lord spoke, and after some thought, he made a decision.
"But the other party is quite powerful. Will they be willing to accept us and hand over the power?"
Faced with this doubt, the lord shook his head and said, "When the two sides are evenly matched, starting a war is not a good idea for us. However, if we send them there, directly paying them back and offering them our resources, perhaps the other territory will accept it and integrate with us."
"This is not appropriate. After all, our technology is very advanced in their eyes. Should we give it away so easily?" Someone objected.
"What else? What choice do you think is most beneficial to us?" the lord asked.
