Inside the Warrior's abode. Dylan watched the Savage Deer's journey until he arrived at the last city and he finally let out a sigh of relief. Then, he deactivated the Shared Senses.
He opened the shop of Congyun Mirror and looked at the Tiger Grass priced at 5 contribution points per piece. Then he bought 200 pieces. His 1000 contribution points turned to zero quickly.
Dylan communicated with the Hobgoblin through a spiritual link. 'Go, command your goblin horde to destroy the Grieve Farm.'
The Hobgoblin who just killed an adventurer was startled when he heard the order. 'Why? Isn't that the main source of Warrior's Alliance Tiger Grass? Doing this would make them angry.'
'Just do it. Of course, I have my reasons. Most of the guards around the Farm are just level 25. With the numbers of your goblin, although they're bound to get wiped out. The goal is to wreck the farm.' 'Don't let the goblins hesitate to throw their lives. Anyway, with their population growth, they could just repopulate again quickly.'
'Okay...' The Hobgoblin could only agree. Although he doesn't know the main soul's intentions. He knew he wouldn't do anything without benefits.
Dylan closed the spiritual link with a smile. "Mirror, why is the Tiger Grasses price so cheap? I can only sell it for 3 contribution points after I bought them 5 points?"
"Because there's an abundant supply of them. It would be stupid if you could sell it for 5 points again. This measure prevents the warriors from playing around."
"The law of supply and demand," Dylan smirked and went silent.
...
Grieve Farm. Forty Kilometers away from the Congyun City.
It was just another day for the guards. Ahead of them was a plot of land that stretched fifty acres filled with red-colored grass with stripes of tigers.
"The yield this time grew 20% more than the previous years. What a boon! I'm sure that Kong will give us incentives for doing a good job!" One of the guards smiles happily.
Another guard sat on the lonely watchtower and let out a depressed sigh. "What's the extra money for? It's boring in this place. We don't have anything to do but just watch the farmers till the land and plant tiger grasses. There's treasure in our eyes but we could only stare at them. Fortunately, only two years are remaining in my contract."
At this moment, the leader of the guards arrived and looked at his complaining subordinates with a kind smile. "What are you complaining about? For not having a heavy workload? Be thankful! Those farmers work 12 hours a day yet their salary is lower than ours."
"As for us? We just rested and had to monitor. We don't even really need to worry about attackers and just patrol every now and then perfunctorily."
The guards nodded one after another. One guard let out a smile and said. "Who would dare to offend Senior Kong? He joined the Alliance ten years ago and climbed up to Deputy of Treasury. Now, he's in the Great Success of the Beyonder Realm!"
In the Kingdom of Zhao, there are four branches of the Warrior Alliance. One in the Congyun City which was the strongest branch in the Kingdom. After all, the helm overseeing the Alliance Branch is in the Small Success of Saint Realm!
From high to low, the known realms in the kingdom are the Ancestor Realm, Saint Realm, Beyonder Realm, Noble Realm, and Awakened Realm.
There was a saying in the Zhao Kingdom that 'Everyone under the Ancestor Realm is just ants!
How many Ancestor Realm are there in the Zhao Kingdom? Only one! It was the founder of the kingdom. The oldest person, the Ancestor of the Zhao Royal Family. He had lived for 1,000 years, watched several powers rise and fall, and witnessed an era pass by. Up until now, he's still alive. Unfortunately, no one can resist the erosion of time and he was at the brink of his lifespan.
Even in the Ancestor Realm, they could only live for 900 years. The Ancestor of the Zhao Family managed to reach up until now because he was sealed in a Life-Preserving Coffin. A platinum-quality treasure that prevents the aging of the body and keeps the body in excellent condition.
However, once he goes out of the coffin, his body will age again like how it was normally. The Ancestor only moves when the Kingdom or the Royal Family faces disaster. He used it as a deterrent for other kingdoms and demon tribes, equivalent to a nuclear bomb.
The Ancestor only makes a move at crucial times, but every move is enough to affect multiple countries. Even a declining Ancestor is still a thousand times more terrifying than a peak Beyonder!
This is also the reason why the Zhao Family could still firmly grasp the power of the kingdom and prevent the aristocratic families from having second thoughts of rebellion. However, once the Ancestor died. It's time for the Zhao Kingdom's dynamics of power to reshuffle like a deck of cards and usher the kingdom to chaos! This is actually the version two of the game or the second major event after the Demon Invasion. The Zhao Kingdom's Reshuffling of Powers.
Suddenly, on the watch tower, the guard who was on duty was about to doze. However, he caught in his eyes thousands of green dots in the distance. He rubbed his eyes and couldn't believe it.
'Am I hallucinating because of boredom?'
However, the unified sound of rumbling reached his ears. At this moment, his complexion turned pale. "A horde of goblins!???"
He quickly pushed the red button to sound the alarm.
Just like that, the entire farm was notified. Under the leader of the guard's command, they arranged themselves orderly with no panic in their faces.
The leader looked at three of his subordinates with solemn expression. "There seem to be a thousand goblins at the small success of the Awakened Realm. They're too weak. We are at the peak of small success."
"There's no need to worry about our lives it's just numbers that might give us a headache. We won't be able to defend the Tiger Grasses as effectively!"
"Dan, Kato, Rai!"
"Yes, leader!?"
"You three go and evacuate the farmers."
"Maidana, Shuro, Ray."
"Yes, leader?"
"You guys go and take out all the mature tiger grasses and transfer them to the storage room. Then, guard them from the goblins that will slip past the nets."
Following that, the leader took a deep breath. A strong momentum came out of his body. "Let's go and fight those evil things."
