Chapter 368: Chapter 275: Is this the Periphery Territory? (4K)_1

Thud—

A muscular, black-turbaned hulk suddenly drove his large knife into the chest of a middle-aged man in front of him. He smoothly thrusted the knife deep, then pulled out, and the man fell onto the ground, blood gradually spreading from his chest.

Scattered around, there lay twenty to thirty bodies. Some were dressed as archers, others as halberd guards and spearmen. But without exception, each had a fatal wound, their breaths utterly fading away.

A few giant rock beasts also fell to the ground, departed from their life.

One of the black-turbaned hulks stepped forward, opened up the cargo saddlebags tied to the sides of a rock beast’s body, and grinned cheekily, “Boss, this load looks to be in excellent condition. There are many rare-level materials inside. If we sell them all, we could make a nice profit!”

“Since our damn place has been occupied by the snake-man monsters, our brothers either died or fled. Now, as I see it, merging two territories and entering the Eternal World isn’t a bad thing. It doesn’t only allow us to avoid those snake-men but also allows us to make a quick buck. This is a fortuitous sign.”

The black-turbaned players were four in total, surrounded by a dozen elite soldiers positioned on the outermost edge of the area, vigilant. They were the surviving players who had come from the border city.

Boss Black Turban did not seem too excited. Contemplating the information just interrogated and the goods they found in the cargo, he said, “This caravan seems to have come from a territory called Red Leaf Territory, which is part of the Tai Xuan Alliance and is a new territory established just over half a year ago.”

“Tai Xuan?!”

The player who had just been giddy with excitement seemed to have his neck strangled and made no sound.

The Tai Xuan Alliance was one of the only two faction nations on Lanxing, its power is far superior to other loosely structured national forces.

Not to mention far away, Xuan Country always attaches great importance to its influence range.

They don’t expand, but anyone who attempts to meddle within the Xuan Country would be thunderously struck back.

The fourth speaker still remembered that, after the world gradually fell into chaos, there was a powerful warlord force in their region, attempting to seize treasures and caused some casualties within Xuan Country. A few days later, the entire warlord force announced its dissolution, and the leader, a player with powerful abilities, vanished from the map.

“Boss, among the people we just killed, there was a player, right? Have we exposed ourselves?”

The fourth looked around, fearful of the heaven-sent army of the Tai Xuan Alliance.

Black Turban Leader sighed, “Don’t worry. This is the Eternal World. Even within the Tai Xuan Alliance, there are many areas where people rarely venture. And besides, this is the edge of the Tai Xuan Alliance. As long as we don’t commit suicide in the official cities of Tai Xuan, we won’t face much danger.”

The leader was not worried at all.

Just as he said, this was the Eternal World, the wilderness, a lawless land. The number of players who died in the wild was countless. The Tai Xuan Alliance couldn’t care less, even if they could, they wouldn’t be able to manage.

Alright, let alone the Eternal World, even in Lanxing today, Xuan Country didn’t have the extra energy to look after areas outside the city.

Of course, you couldn’t always rob caravans like this, doing it too often would potentially catch the attention of the local area manager, the Official Town Lord. Even if it didn’t come to the attention of Tai Xuan Officials, it might unavoidably draw a united strangulation from surrounding lords.

Continually engaging in risky operations would sooner or later lead to an accident.

The Black Turban Leader was fully aware of this, but the options that could make them rich were all written in the prohibitions of Tai Xuan Alliance.

“Like ordinary players, honestly receiving commissions to earn Soul Sand?”

The leader dismissed this thought.

The other three brothers also disagreed.

They were not ordinary players in the first place, but local warlord leaders. They were used to being little emperors, so they could hardly become ordinary players again.

“Boss, how could we work for the Tai Xuan Alliance? We can’t afford to lose face like that!”

“Yeah, it’s impossible to go and work for them!”

“Work hard like other players, just to earn a little bit of Soul Sand? I won’t do it! Boss, why don’t we do a few more like this, and then we can make a run for it. Like you said, the Eternal World is so vast, Tai Xuan can’t do anything to us.”

What the second was proposing was to rob the passing caravans just like they did before.

For them, this was easy. The entire caravan had only one elite-level player, and that player had only a couple of elites under his command.

To them, it was nothing.

Although they were only at the Elite Peak, they had earned a lot of money during their years as warlord leaders. Their equipment was extravagant, and each of them had six or seven elite-level soldiers.

If they were to work for a lord like ordinary players, how could they cultivate so many elite soldiers?

Also, working would still involve risk. Just like the Tai Xuan player who they just slaughtered, since that’s the case, why not take the risk from the beginning? It saves them ten years of detours.

“Now that our city has been occupied by the snake-man tribe, we need to consider new sources of income.”

The Black Turban leader pondered for a moment, “While robbing these caravans brings us a one-time income, it’s not too high. And, handling just one load of goods is not easy for us, let alone robbing several loads. Both transportation and selling are problems, and the risk is high. Doing this business is not quite reliable. How about…..”

“We go directly for a big haul. Let’s rob a new territory on the periphery of Tai Xuan. We will have a good meal in one go!”

Second, Third, and Fourth, the brothers, were somewhat dissatisfied with their leader’s timidity when they heard the words ‘not quite reliable.’ But before their dissatisfaction could come out of their mouths, they heard their boss’s earth-shattering plan.
