Chapter 804 - 499: Sweep Away All Resistance, Slaying Dempsey
He patted Eagle’s neck.
Accompanied by a piercing scream.
Eagle’s strong bones and muscles began to stir.
Two gigantic wings unfolded, slowly flapping.
The ground was swept up by a somewhat frenzied gust of air.
Blowing Baron Bezos, who was standing aside, backward repeatedly.
Bits of grass and dust from the lawn were lifted into the air.
Eagle’s body also rose into the air, and after stabilizing slightly, soared straight into the sky.
Wenresa and the others grabbed the scales next to Eagle, trying to keep their bodies steady.
Baron Bezos stood in place, watching Zong Shen and them take off on the Griffin.
Only after they disappeared into the pitch-black night did he turn and leave.
The other warriors did the same, watching as their Lord departed.
...
"Whew..."
When Eagle ascended to an appropriate height, it began flying in the direction from which they came.
Zong Shen exhaled heavily, steadying his thoughts.
He had been observing the situation below and, after flying about twenty or thirty kilometers away from Bang City.
He began to slow down Eagle, casually finding a slightly secluded clearing to land.
Zong Shen retrieved the [Thousand Kilometer-Level Teleportation Gate] from the Storage Grid and left a Space Beacon in this clearing.
When he returns, he won’t need to fly back; he just needs to open the Teleportation Gate.
The Space Beacon is completely clandestine, disappearing into the void as soon as it appears.
No scrying spell can detect it, only a Space Grandmaster with high spatial proficiency might uncover it.
After setting up the Space Beacon, Zong Shen remounted Eagle and took off again.
He also began to ponder the situation surrounding the mine truck heist.
Dutra was always in the mine, naturally not knowing who exactly hijacked the mine truck.
Earlier, he checked the battle prompts and did not find any related damage prompts.
If his subordinates were attacked, prompts would inevitably appear.
The absence of anomalies in the prompts suggests that the other party did not harm the mine truck drivers.
From this angle, the other side is quite cunning.
After sorting out his thoughts a bit, he began to inquire the Guide Module.
As a cheat existence, he didn’t need to search for clues.
"Please tell me who hijacked the mine truck?"
(Lord Dempsey Morton hijacked the mine truck near the Azshara City Tower Ruins at 2:47 PM today)
The strategy prompt appeared smoothly, confirming that it was indeed the work of a lord.
"Guide me to Dempsey Morton’s territory location."
Zong Shen looked serene as he continued instructing in his mind.
Without needing additional prompts, the familiar Golden Thread Navigation appeared before him again.
The general direction was consistent, and now he only needed to follow the navigation.
With a clear target, Zong Shen’s mood slightly relaxed.
He didn’t plan to bring too many people, just these few were enough.
Zong Shen turned his hand and took out a Goblin Bomb.
Looking at the conical metal bomb body, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
...
Meanwhile, within Dempsey Morton’s territory.
This guy had already transferred all the ores elsewhere.
The remaining mineral resources in the territory were stockpiled, and the excess was entirely listed for sale in the Market.
A resource exchange cycle system had long been established in the [Market].
This batch of ores could soon be sold.
Thanks to this unexpected windfall, his territory began infrastructure construction.
However, his territory wasn’t large, currently only having twenty-one farmers and eighteen warriors.
Compared to Zong Shen’s territory, this place was far more backward.
But this guy still went through two challenge periods as a lord.
Even though his strength and performance were average, the points rewards still provided his territory a certain level of strength.
It still boasted six or seven Defense Arrow Towers, mostly Tier 1 and Tier 2.
Now the ores have been nearly dealt with, and the Burden-Bearer Mecha was also stored into the Storage Grid.
As long as the Dogman Prophet had his mouth stuffed and limbs tied, hidden by the haystack near the territory.
He considered his actions flawless, thinking the individual in question will have a hard time tracking him down.
Earlier, upon returning to his territory, he saw Zong Shen’s name through the Dogman’s information.
Although the system information ordinary lords observe is crude, the main prefix entirely matches.
Dempsey knew well who Zong Shen was; that guy was a celebrity in the region.
The only Universal Lord who slew a regional challenge Boss.
It’s a lie to say he’s not scared, but he couldn’t bear to let go of the benefit right at the mouth.
He mainly had great confidence, believing he didn’t leave any loose ends.
There remained six or seven thousand lords in the region, making it difficult to trace it back to him.
Yet he didn’t realize, the individual in question doesn’t need to search at all.
Initially, he was a bit nervous, but now he was completely relaxed.
Beginning to enjoy the joy of overnight wealth, the farmers too wielded building hammers, knocking around.
Intending seemingly to work overtime and build tirelessly.
After all, this batch of ores was stolen goods; only after spending a good portion could Dempsey Morton feel at ease.
"Oh! What a wonderful night this is!"
"I also deserve some relaxation on this journey."
Watching the territorial construction, he spoke in a somewhat intoxicated self-talk.
Then summoned a female warrior, taking her into the Lord’s hut.
