“Let’s go. We’ve wasted enough time. Let’s get this over with quickly.”
With that, Chen Yu shoved the castle key and deed into Li Siya’s hand.
“The Great Xia Alliance’s base of operations will be managed by you. Then, go find some enforcers and servants. I remember this castle is quite large; your family can move in to avoid any future mishaps.”
Chen Yu knew that if he continued to develop, he would definitely attract the attention of aristocratic families, and trouble would surely follow.
Although he had no ties or burdens,
the people around him were not so fortunate.
As his most trusted Great Xia Alliance leader, Li Siya definitely needed to be properly arranged for, and the same went for the other people in the alliance. Anyway, the castle was not small and could accommodate them all.
Only then could they work for him with peace of mind.
Chen Yu entered the Tian Zhi Tavern and made his way to the private room arranged by Li Siya.
No sooner had he stepped in,
than various rich fruits and desserts were pushed in and laid out on the table.
These were all arranged by the person named Awei. Lin Qingqiu had told him to entertain well, so he naturally dared not be negligent.
“Young Master Chen, do you need anything else? I’ll have the front desk bring more. Do you want me to call some girls to keep you company? I guarantee they’re all beautiful!”
Awei said fawningly.
Chen Yu waved his hand, “No need. We have things to discuss. Just don’t disturb us later.”
“Alright, Young Master Chen. You can call me if you need anything.”
Awei said and then left.
He closed the door behind him.
Inside the room, the three people already standing were all looking at Chen Yu with curiosity, having already figured out Chen Yu’s identity.
He was the true power behind the Great Xia Alliance.
The Level 10 Dungeon Lord who monopolized all the soul crystals in the entire region.
During the Dark Tide, he single-handedly defended the entire region, even counterattacking the Dark Tide and destroying the Dark Warlord.
Everyone was smart.
Even if Zhang Tianle hadn’t revealed any information, they could still guess a thing or two.
“Boss! Alliance Leader!”
Zhang Tianle was the first to jump up, greeting him with a grin.
The other two, as if waking from a dream, followed closely behind.
Without exception,
they all first called out “Boss” and then “Alliance Leader.”
The order was very clear.
These three were naturally the three War Lords of the Great Xia Alliance: Zhang Tianle, Bai Yunkong, and Zhang Luoluo. Zhang Tianle looked like a sunny young man, Bai Yunkong was more like a pretty boy, and Zhang Luoluo was a relatively petite girl.
Besides these three, there were also five other Dungeon Lords, all in another room.
This time, Li Siya told them to stay put in their room and not wander around. Therefore, even though they heard some movement outside the door earlier, they didn’t go out.
They were unaware of what was happening outside.
This was also to protect them, to prevent them from being targeted by someone later.
“Sit down, no need to be so formal!”
Chen Yu casually picked a seat and sat down. In his eyes, there was no such thing as a main seat; he didn’t have that habit.
Li Siya naturally sat beside him.
The others also sat down one by one in order, but no one dared to sit in the main seat.
The boss saying “casual” didn’t mean the subordinates could also be casual.
They understood this principle.
Afterward, Chen Yu began the specific content of this meeting. In front of them was something like a sandbox, with various surrounding areas already marked, and special notes indicating the powerful individuals in these areas.
The main content of the meeting was about future development. Everyone marked their discoveries from exploring the surrounding areas.
“My beetles have scouted that several War Lords in the Night Marsh north of the Dark Forest have some ideas about the Dark Elf kingdom. At the same time, two other War Lords in the Dark Forest also intend to ally with them.”
Zhang Luoluo shared all the information she knew.
Currently, Chen Yu only planned to support one War Lord in each region; otherwise, resources would be insufficient.
In the Dark Forest, he supported Zhang Luoluo.
Therefore, the other two War Lords would have to be dealt with sooner or later.
“The Dark Elf Kingdom currently has trade relations with our alliance and has expressed friendliness towards us, so…”
Chen Yu simply said, “We must protect the Dark Elf Kingdom, but not blindly. We must let them suffer a bit first, otherwise they won’t cherish it. Later, we will reclaim all their villages in the Dark Forest. We can use this opportunity to make them see the situation clearly.”
Indigenous kingdoms had their unique advantages; in terms of development, they sometimes defied logic.
Resources seemed to come from nowhere, but they just managed to develop.
It was somewhat like the crazy computer players in games, developing one step faster than ordinary players.
Therefore, a friendly indigenous kingdom willing to become a vassal would be more beneficial than conquering it.
“What about the human kingdom east of the Blackrock Mountains?” Zhang Tianle asked tentatively.
“Keep it for now. We won’t expand there for the time being. The next target to attack is the Gale Wind Grassland to the south,” Chen Yu said.
When the Gale Wind Grassland was mentioned, Zhang Tianle seemed to recall something, “Further south of the Gale Wind Grassland is the territory of Lin Qingqiu, the second-in-command of the Witch Alliance. If we expand in that direction, will we provoke her?”
Upon hearing this,
Li Siya immediately perked up, pricking her ears to listen.
Chen Yu didn’t notice this, only saying indifferently, “It’s fine, she wouldn’t dare to come over. Just keep developing.”
Hearing the confidence in his tone, Zhang Tianle and the others couldn’t help but feel relieved.
It was different following a big boss; there was no need to worry about anything, just listen to the boss.
They continued to communicate for a while, giving out all the necessary instructions.
Chen Yu then got up and went to another room.
The subsequent matters were left to Li Siya to handle.
In the other room,
the five Dungeon Lords waited anxiously.
They had arrived there early in the morning and waited for a long time, but the presence from the alliance had not yet arrived.
However, no matter how anxious they were, they dared not leave the room.
At this moment,
the door of the room clicked open, and under the gaze of all of them, a young man walked in and smiled at them.
“Why are you all standing? Sit down!”
“You are…?”
These five Dungeon Lords were still a bit uneasy, asking cautiously.
“I am the person you are thinking of. No need to be so formal. I’m here to discuss cooperation with you, so you can relax,” Chen Yu said with a smile.
“Cooperation…” The eyes of several people showed confusion. Although they had heard the word “cooperation” from Li Siya earlier, they were not clear about how exactly to cooperate.
They even found it a bit strange.
After all, in their own eyes, they were also useless.
