150 Wu Tu's Map! Starfire Mercenary Team!
"My Lord."
"This is the map I drew today."
"In addition, I've also investigated the general situation of the surrounding area."
Wu Tu handed over a map respectfully.
Zhou Zhou took it and read it.
This map was almost the same as yesterday's.
However, there were some new areas.
For example, the unknown area in the north was now discovered to be a White Silver-Tier area, Mingguang Town, and to the north of Mingguang Town was a Yellow Gold-Tier area, Blazing Sun City.
They were all official territories under the jurisdiction of the Aurora Kingdom.
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
Then he could make a trip to Blazing Sun City.
This way, he could buy some Yellow Gold-Tier Aurora Crystals with the Aurora Crystal trading contract he had just obtained. This way, he could upgrade all the Bronze Aurora Kingdom Towers in his territory to Yellow Gold-Tier Aurora Kingdom Towers!
When the time comes…
Even if a Diamond-Tier expert dared to invade his Blazing Sun City,
He could even guarantee that the other party would never return!
Then, he looked elsewhere.
The north of Blazing Sun City and the west of Fish Spring Town were both regional territories under the Aurora Kingdom!
In the east of Thorn Dune, there were two Green Bronze-Tier regional territories and one White Silver-Tier regional territories!
On both sides of the Sandstorm Forbidden Land and the south of the Green Forest, there was a Black Iron-Tier territory, two Green Bronze-Tier territory, and a White Silver-Tier territory.
Further away was the location of a Yellow Gold-Tier regional territory in the Tahan Kingdom, [Dark Night Town]!
Starting here all the way south was already the territory of the Crimson Kingdom—Tahan Kingdom.
"The Aurora Kingdom can be regarded as a friendly party at the moment. Moreover, they're not weak. We definitely can't attack them."
"For the Tahan Kingdom to be able to fight against the Aurora Kingdom for hundreds of years, their strength is definitely not inferior to the Aurora Kingdom. It's not within my consideration."
"Then we can only attack the seven regional territories east of Thorn Dune and south of the Sandstorm Forbidden Land."
Zhou Zhou pondered.
"However, this Sandstorm Forbidden Land is a little troublesome."
"If the problem of the Sandstorm Forbidden Land's army's passage cannot be resolved…"
"Then I can only expand my territory east of Thorn Dune."
Zhou Zhou frowned slightly.
To a Lord like him it was not a good thing to have one's offensive direction restricted.
He thought for a while.
He suddenly thought of Lu Ruyi and the rest.
"As adventurers, they might be able to learn more about the Sandstorm Forbidden Land from other local adventurers."
"There might be another way to pass."
Without hesitation, Zhou Zhou sent someone to call Zhang Lansheng over.
Previously, after Lu Ruyi and the others followed their army back to Blazing Sun City, they only stayed for a day before returning to prepare to establish an adventurer team.
But Zhang Lansheng was left behind.
It was convenient for Zhou Zhou and Lu Ruyi to contact each other.
Now it looked like it was going to come in handy.
Soon, Zhang Lansheng came over.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
Zhang Lansheng said respectfully.
At this moment, his attitude had changed greatly from when he first arrived.
Zhou Zhou could clearly tell that the other party's respect for him had completely turned into sincerity.
Zhang Lansheng knew the reason very well.
After staying in the territory for a few days, he understood more about Blazing Sun City and the Lord of The Blazing Sun.
In particular, the other party's territory was clearly only a desert territory, but it could develop to such a scale and achievement. It even became the strongest Human Lord on the Cerulean Planet!
Apart from being shocked, Zhang Lansheng only felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.
Honestly, if it were him, he would have been assigned to a desert territory at the beginning.
He would probably give up his status as a Lord on the same day and change his occupation to become an adventurer.
Who would have thought that a territory with barren resources, surrounded by monsters and sand, could develop to this extent?
Zhou Zhou naturally did not know what he was thinking.
She told him directly why she had come to look for him.
"Sandstorm Forbidden Land…"
"I've heard of this place."
"Because that place is a forbidden area for natural disasters, there seem to be many strange legends."
"But most of them are made up by other adventurers, rangers, and Martial Artists."
"I wonder if it's true."
Zhang Lansheng pondered.
"This is very important to me!"
"Get Lu Ruyi and the others to temporarily put aside all their work and focus on investigating the Sandstorm Forbidden Land!"
Zhou Zhou ordered without hesitation.
"Yes, my Lord!"
Zhang Lansheng said solemnly.
This was the first time the Feudal Lord had assigned them Quests!
He had to do it well!
He reminded himself.
"How have you guys been lately?"
Zhou Zhou asked.
"With the 5,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores sponsored by the Overlord, Captain Lu has already established the adventurer team."
"The name of the adventurer team is 'Starfire Mercenary Team'."
"The name is a metaphor that we are the official adventurer team of Blazing Sun City."
"However, only a few of us founders know about this. We haven't announced it to the public."
"Because there are some things that official adventurer teams will encounter obstacles if they want to do it. Private adventurer teams will easily come into contact with such things."
"Other than that, we've also recruited a portion of Black Iron-Tier and Bronze-rank members."
"The Starfire Mercenary Team now has 50 members."
Zhang Lansheng said respectfully.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
They were especially satisfied with the name of the Starfire Mercenary Team.
He thought for a moment.
He took out 500 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores, 100 soldier type Class Change Certificates, and 50 Sand Corpse Summoner Class Change Certificates from his Spatial Ring and handed them to the other party.
"Your adventurer team has just been established. You should have spent most of the 5,000 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores."
"Take these and use them as resources to continue developing your adventurer team."
"If you can do the job I gave you today."
"I'll give you more rewards!"
Zhou Zhou said.
After all, it was the first official adventurer team in Blazing Sun City.
If he didn't reward the other party, Zhou Zhou himself felt that it wasn't good enough.
If not for the fact that they were too weak and could not accept more rewards,
Zhou Zhou even wanted to sponsor them with the Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Core.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Zhang Lansheng said in surprise.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then, the two of them chatted for a while more before Zhang Lansheng left with these things.
When Zhou Zhou saw this, he called the Yellow Gold-Tier intermediate-level warrior, Luo Feng, over.
"Senior Luo."
"There's something I'd like you to do."
Zhou Zhou said.
Then, he told him about the Starfire Mercenary Team.
"… The Starfire Mercenary Team has just been established. There are some things and rules that they might not understand."
"That's why I want to ask Senior to secretly escort them for a period of time."
"If they accidentally fall into a desperate situation…"
"When the time comes, please help me if you can."
"Of course, if the environment isn't too dangerous, then let them see blood. There's no harm in training."
Zhou Zhou said politely.
"That's easy."
"When I was young, I joined many adventure teams."
"After I became a wanted criminal, I've also seen the dark side of this world close to the mark, not far off."
"Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, my Lord."
Luo Feng said confidently and even a little arrogantly.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
After that, Zhou Zhou did not talk much. Seeing this, Luo Feng bade farewell and left.
Zhou Zhou thought about it. What else did he not do?
Soon, he thought of something that he had almost forgotten.
"Try me."
He opened his Friend List and wrote the title of Military Industry Lord in the friend request column.
Originally, he thought that it would be very difficult to add the other party.
After all, the other party was now a top-notch Lord second only to Dragon Lady Lord and the others.
In particular, the other party's Military and Industrial Alliance had been very popular on the World Channel recently.
It was normal for the other party not to be added as a friend.
Unexpectedly, he received a notification that he had successfully added a friend as soon as he clicked confirm.
He froze.
Then, the other party immediately sent a message.
[Military Industry Lord: Are you really the Lord of The Blazing Sun? (⊙_⊙)]
Zhou Zhou: "…"
