Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1482 The Game Arena 32
When the former Lord of Wind and Cloud saw that Linlang was attacking, and his territory had not yet been upgraded to level four, he knew that things were hopeless, so he quickly and secretly fled.

The reason he ran away secretly was because he was afraid that his former subordinates would find out that he had run away, and that there might be spies in the guard team who would spread the news of his escape to Linlang. If he couldn't escape and lost his life, it wouldn't be worth it.

Now, he secretly ran away. Although he planned to use a lot of materials and resources to upgrade his territory to level four, he hadn't used them yet. He only wanted to wait until the population reached five thousand before upgrading. However, the population didn't arrive in time, and he hadn't used his resources and materials. Now that he had so many materials and resources in the new territory, he could sell them and live a good life. So, he took advantage of the chaos and ran away quickly.

The former Lord of Wind and Cloud had fled, and his guards, unable to find him, naturally knew what had happened and quickly ran away as well.

They had previously followed the former Lord Fengyun to conquer many territories, acquiring a considerable amount of copper coins and materials through plunder. They couldn't let these fall into the hands of the Lord of Yong'an Territory, so they had to hurry and run away to other territories to continue living a good life.

The reason they didn't stay was that they had attacked Yong'an territory before, and they were afraid that the lord of Yong'an territory would recognize them, so they had to run away as soon as possible.

However, this time, it will be difficult for these people to sneak away. Previously in the Fengyun Territory, Linlang did not send anyone to intercept these people because the Fengyun Territory had already been built to the peak of a level three territory. After all, the Fengyun Lord had plundered a lot of territories and obtained a lot of copper coins and resources. He had plenty of money to build the territory to its peak.

If these people had discovered that Linlang was intercepting them, they would have fought desperately. As a result, many of the engineers would have been left with low health and would have had to return to their barracks, which would have been detrimental to their ability to conquer other territories. Therefore, Linlang let the group escape.

But now that Linlang has conquered other territories, this is the final battle. Linlang can send some people to continue attacking the territories, while others can go and kill those who are trying to escape. After all, these people all have the blood of others on their hands, so how can they not be dealt with?

Those people, with their families, left the territory, intending to continue their good life in other nearby territories, only to find that people from the Yong'an territory came to intercept them.

They hadn't reached level 15 yet, while the group from Yong'an Territory had reached level 16 after continuously conquering territories over the past few days. Attacking them would be a cross-level attack, so naturally, they would hit them every time. Soon, Linlang's people had almost wiped out the guards from the former Fengyun Territory.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, some of them even pointed at the local inhabitants who were fleeing with them, crying out, "Why are you only killing us and not them?"

The system engineer replied as instructed by Linlang: "You attacked Yong'an territory back then, but they didn't. We don't kill just anyone; we only kill those who attacked Yong'an territory."

Upon receiving this answer, the former guards of the Fengyun territory were speechless. The residents of this territory, hearing that those who attacked their land wouldn't kill them and apparently wouldn't plunder their supplies, immediately fled back, abandoning their plans to wander to other territories. Their previous intention to wander was out of fear of another invasion, like the last time the Fengyun territory attacked, where they would be robbed. Since they wouldn't be robbed, they naturally didn't need to run. On the contrary, they hoped the people of Yong'an territory would kill the former Fengyun guards. After all, many of the people of this territory had been robbed by the former Fengyun guards to some extent, and they harbored resentment towards them. The reason they followed the former guards was out of fear that the new attackers would also rob them, so they followed them, thinking that since the former Fengyun guards were more capable, following them would provide protection in other territories.

Now that the newcomers won't rob supplies or kill anyone, they naturally won't run away. They'll first see what the new lord is like. If he doesn't charge a high fee, they'll continue living in this territory. After all, who wants to wander and take risks without a special reason?

Since Yong'an Territory explained the reason for killing these people, the others who were not related to the former Fengyun Territory were no longer in a state of panic, but instead watched as the people of Yong'an Territory dealt with the former Fengyun Territory's guards.

The former guards of the Fengyun Territory left in a large group, thinking that traveling together would be safer and that they could form gangs and thrive in the new territory.

As a result, Linlang's people attacked. A large group of people together made it easier for Linlang's people to surround and attack them. They found that they died quickly when they stayed together, so many people discussed splitting up and acting in small teams. If the people of Yong'an territory could not surround them, they could escape.

As a result, those who were isolated became easier to kill. They realized that splitting up wouldn't work, so they suggested sticking together. But after several rounds of this back and forth, Linlang's men had almost wiped them out.

Knowing they couldn't escape, this group fought back desperately.

But... the world has become a game, and the levels are far too high. It's really difficult for them to succeed in a desperate resistance. After all, this isn't the real world. Even if everyone's combat strength varies, the difference isn't actually that big. A desperate resistance might at least result in injuring the other party. In the game, with such a high level, it's really hard to cause much damage. After all, those with much higher levels have much stronger defense and speed. When they fight against someone much higher level than themselves, the other party either dodges or gets hit, but doesn't cause much damage. This is truly despairing. So even if they fight to the death, Linlang's side doesn't suffer too many losses.

After killing all the trash from the former Fengyun territory—maybe one or two escaped, but that's alright, Linlang had memorized their names and could deal with them later—the territory fell into Linlang's hands before it was even conquered. This was because the engineers she sent out killed the former Fengyun territory's lord, and all his territories now belonged to Linlang. So there was no need to fight for this territory; since the lord died at the hands of Linlang's men, the territory automatically became Linlang's.

The former lord of the Fengyun Territory had a lot of copper coins and resources, which quickly filled up the Linlang Level 4 Territory Warehouse. Obviously, he had enough copper coins and materials to upgrade to Level 5. He only needed to wait for the territory to reach 10,000 residents to upgrade to Level 5.

After completely eliminating the Fengyun Territory, Linlang issued an announcement in the mission hall of the ten territories she had acquired—the Fengyun Territory, plus the other nine territories conquered by the Fengyun Lord—stating that the Yong'an Territory had no conflict with her own territory, and that it was the former lord of the Fengyun Territory who went to attack the Yong'an Territory, hence the Yong'an Territory's counterattack.

After a successful counterattack, the residents of each territory will not be harmed. From now on, everyone will enjoy the same benefits as those in the Yong'an territory and can live a good life.
