【1: Dragon Clan…】

...

[12: The town of the dead appears at the border between the Kingdom of Shak and the desert, but the leader of the town of the dead does not appear. At this time, he is in the ancient castle in the town, undergoing the most important power advancement.]

The failure of the Good Family made the leader realize that troubles regarding his own promotion were gradually approaching, so he took steps to minimize the unknown dangers...

Using a million undead of rank two or above as a trigger, the "Undead Cage" formation, which covers the entire desert, was activated. Donglin had prepared this formation for many years, but had always kept it as a last resort due to the high cost.

Once the formation is activated, unless one possesses strength exceeding that of the leader of the town of the dead, they will be permanently trapped within its range.

The appearance of this side quest caused An Kai to lose control and curse Dong Lin.

If there were a ranking, he would be third, the 28th Prince of the Orcs would be second, and the first would be this old codger from Donglin.

An Kai never imagined that the disappearance of a single clone would lead Dong Lin to activate a formation that sealed off the entire desert, using a million undead as bait…

That's way too cautious!

As An Kai continued looking down, his brows furrowed even deeper…

[32: Following a tip from the messenger of the Town of the Dead, the Desert Orcs discovered the inconspicuous House of Goodness. To prevent a sneak attack from the House of Goodness during their war with Chaos City (Inner City), they chose to cease hostilities with Chaos City (Inner City) and retreat to their desert territory.]

[33: The City Lord of Chaos City was furious that the House of Goodness had changed its name without her permission. She was even angrier that the House of Goodness hadn't sent anyone to help her fight the Desert Beastmen. However, the Desert Beastmen's retreat angered her the most, and she shouted that she would take action to suppress the Desert Beastmen and the House of Goodness.]

...

[73: The existence of the Good Family was formally revealed to the other two forces in the desert for the first time, creating a three-way coexistence in the desert. It remains to be seen how long this situation can be maintained.]

...

After reading these side quests, An Kai understood what Dong Lin, that old man, was thinking.

He's raising a venomous insect!

At the same time, it is also for the smooth improvement of one's own strength.

Although the side quest doesn't specify which level Donglin is aiming for, An Kai guesses it's most likely above the fifth rank.

Judging from the envoys sent by the Donglin Party, that old man from Donglin did something really ruthless.

The formation confines the desert, creating a tripartite balance of power among the three factions within it.

Unfortunately, the three forces dislike each other, and coupled with the madwoman-like personality of the Chaos City Lord, the chances of them cooperating are practically zero.

Donglin exposed the actions of the Good House in order to draw the attention of the other two parties to the Good House.

Donglin, on the other hand, can take advantage of this time to focus on improving his own strength.

By the time he finished improving his strength, the three forces had already fought each other to the death, and even though they were in a cold war, they didn't actually fight.

At that time, the Donglin Party was able to use its overwhelming power to forcibly suppress the three forces...

Standing in the oasis.

An Kai's original plan to flee vanished completely.

The desert is sealed off; there is no peace no matter where you hide.

It would be better to return to the Good House, even if it meant facing the hostility of the desert orcs and the city lord of Chaos City, than to wander the desert.

At least he can focus on his cultivation and his resources will be replenished.

And so what if the desert orcs and the city lord of Chaos City are hostile to each other?

An Kai observed through the daily side quests that the leader of the desert orcs, the 28th prince, was very cautious and would not easily make a move before knowing the true strength of the Good House.

The only unstable factor is the city lord of Chaos City, that crazy woman who loves to fight, but An Kai is not afraid. She is not Donglin, who has the enormous ability to wreak havoc on the seven kingdoms!

Malken had already explained to him that the difference between five-tier units was also significant.

There's probably no other monster like Donglin in the entire wasteland.

In addition, Ankai also has fifth-tier professionals around him, who are good at running away, and there is also the existence of [Lazel's Mage Tower], so there is nothing wrong with staying in the House of Goodness.

After much deliberation, Ankai decided to return to the Good People's Home...

He frowned and whispered, "Back to the city."

"Wayne, how's your [Swiftness] research going? What's missing? Remember to let me know."

Wayne, who was spacing out, paused for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't lack anything...

On the way back to the city, An Kai kept cursing Donglin in his heart...

I don't know.

It was because he killed Donglin's clone that this old man, who considered himself to be infallible, made up his mind to activate the formation he had been preparing for nearly a hundred years with a million second-tier or higher undead.

This is to completely eliminate unknown troubles and dangers.

A million undead occupied 99% of Donglin's undead subordinates, but in order to advance smoothly, Donglin still gritted his teeth and chose to activate the formation.

As long as one can achieve a breakthrough in strength during the isolation period of the formation, Donglin believes that any price is worth it!

...

A virtuous family.

Inside the surface of Reed's city lord's mansion.

The caravan leader stood below Reed, watching him cautiously and carefully.

No matter what conditions Reed offered, the caravan leader would nod solemnly after a brief moment of thought, indicating his acceptance.

And it will also be accompanied by the line: "This concerns the development of our Good Family, so I will definitely give it my full support!"

In short, he seemed to have tied himself to the ship of the Good House.

Reed just smiled to himself at these responses.

After saying a few words, they were sent away.

However, I had some doubts in my heart.

The problem has been resolved, so why haven't Hanks and Ankai shown up?

He was so confused that he didn't know what to do next.

They could only rack their brains and come up with some harsh conditions to buy time.

Without Ankai's approval, Reed dared not easily agree to the caravan leader's conditions.

He was worried that his response would cause damage to Ankai.

Reed sat in his chair, frowning, pondering the new, harsh conditions…

Just then, Malken enveloped himself in his aura and appeared beside Reed:

"The adults said that if they hand over all resources and supplies, the Good Family will protect them."

Reed paused, startled, when he heard Malken's voice.

He thought he was dark enough, but he never expected An Kai to be the darkest...

He immediately demanded to have everything without spending a single penny…

After giving his instructions, Malken left immediately.

He ran towards the edge of the desert, on Ankai's orders.

After Ankai returned to the House of Goodness, he told Malken that he sensed something was wrong in the desert and ordered him to go to the desert's border to check if anything unexpected had happened...

Malken found it strange; the desert was so vast, what kind of unexpected event could possibly occur...?

With his thoughts in mind, Malken arrived at the border between the desert and the Kingdom of Shak...

When Malken stood there, he was dumbfounded.

Before him stood a gray-white barrier that stretched straight to the sky!

Within the barrier, skeletal hands or skulls would occasionally flash by.

The barrier effectively separates the desert from the Kingdom of Shak.

When Malken exhausted all his efforts and realized he couldn't break the barrier, his heart sank...

Malken refused to believe it and kept following the barrier. He ran as fast as he could for a long time, but still couldn't see the end of the barrier...

At this moment, Malken was utterly desperate.

He finally believed the truth: he was being held captive in the desert…

Desperate, Malken ran toward the House of Goodness.

When he returned to the Good People's Home and reported the matter to Ankai, he received a calm reply from Ankai: "I know."

Looking at the calm Ankai, Mairken was shocked. Although he was in the city, he could sense the huge changes in the desert!

Malken had never seen this ability before!

Even the king of the Shak Kingdom, whom he once served, did not possess such mysterious abilities as Ankai…

When Ankai gestured for Malken to leave, Malken's gaze towards Ankai held a hint of respect for the strong...

"Sigh... those damned Donglin Party members, they're really ruthless!"

"A million Tier 2 undead, deployed without hesitation!"

In the courtyard, Nurnexius was a little puzzled. He had clearly won the battle, so why did his boss look like he had lost?

However, Nurnexus never meddles in things he shouldn't.

He picked up a bone, put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and gave it a satisfying squeeze...

Boom…

The bone turned to dust under his sharp teeth, and the fragrance of bone instantly filled his mouth.

It was this strange noise that caught Ankai's attention.

He glanced at it slightly, and a wind blade suddenly appeared in his hand…

boom!

The remaining bone, under Nurnexus's sorrowful gaze, crumbled into dust...

"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat!"

"waste!"

Nurneseus seemed not to hear the insults.

His eyes were fixed only on that bone that had turned to dust…

As for Ankai's unwarranted insults, it had long been accustomed to them and was immune to them...

After cursing a couple of times and feeling somewhat relieved, An Kai returned to his main hall as the outside temperature continued to rise.

He used the [Freeze] spell to seal the entrance, sneaked into the mage tower, and meditated while pondering how to break the formation.

...

The entrance to the House of Goodness.

Hanks, frowning, drove the yellow horse-drawn carriage back to the place.

Inside the carriage, Widow Wang remained silent.

The two of them had left the house of good people and were heading west, trying to leave the desert.

however…

Just as the two of them were about to leave the desert in their carriage, the earth suddenly shook.

Then, the two of them watched as a towering barrier suddenly appeared before their eyes…

Sitting inside the carriage, Widow Wang suddenly stood up: "The Cage of the Dead?!"

After carefully contemplating the formation with a furrowed brow, Widow Wang realized that she could not break it!

Only that old man from Donglin could have such methods.

Widow Wang never expected that Donglin, that old man, would have such a temper even at his advanced age.

Is it really necessary to use the "Cage of the Dead" to seal off the entire desert just because of a clone?

Hanks was taken aback when he saw the barrier that suddenly appeared. After testing it for a while and confirming that he could not pass through it, he...

Suppressing his panic, he returned to the carriage and gave an embarrassed smile: "You see, we're too important to the desert, that's why they won't let us leave."

Looking at Hanks grinning foolishly, Widow Wang knew that he was trying to keep her from panicking.

Just as Ankai was considering returning to the Good Family, Widow Wang was also thinking about many things at this moment.

After a few seconds of contemplation, she smiled faintly: "If they won't let me, then they won't. I've had enough of a good walk anyway..."

"Let's go back. I suddenly miss our house..."

Widow Wang drew the curtain of the carriage, her brows furrowed with worry.

At that moment, Hanks suddenly pulled back the car curtain, his face flushed: "I just checked, there's no one around."

Widow Wang laughed in exasperation, "Shouldn't you be thinking about how to break the formation?"

But she still nodded...

...

One minute later.

Hanks drove the carriage back the way he came.

Inside the carriage, Widow Wang's brows furrowed even deeper.

Just as Hanks returned in his carriage, the caravan from the Seven Kingdoms departed.

After hearing about Ankai's trading method from Reed, they were reluctant but had no choice but to agree, considering that the House of Goodness possessed the strength to deal with a fifth-tier opponent.

Then he handed over all the supplies and resources and left the Good House in a sorry state.

Unbeknownst to them, the desert has now been sealed off, and many merchants in the caravan are planning to leave the desert and never trade there again.

Not only did I not make any money, I also lost so much...

They arrived full of fighting spirit, but left sighing and lamenting…

Hanks brushed past them, intending to remind them of the changes in the desert, but then he thought again, why should he remind these arrogant businessmen?

So Hanks didn't even turn his head and walked past them.

...

Day two.

Ankai learns about the desert orcs and the inner city of Chaos City through the side quests, and they also discover that the desert has been sealed off by Donglin using the Undead Cage formation.

The desert orcs, under the orders of the twenty-eighth prince of the orcs, retreated completely and remained motionless within their own territory.

The idea of ​​dominating the desert was no longer present in their minds.

The twenty-eighth prince of the orcs had thought it through clearly. In the desert now, they were the only alien race. If they continued to act arrogantly, they might attract the combined forces of the other two factions...

Meanwhile, the inner city of Chaos City, after learning that the orcs had retreated, remained relentless and wanted to pursue them into the orcs' main camp in the desert.

However, they were forced back by four fifth-tier orcs, and the offensive and defensive positions were reversed. With the strength of the inner city of Chaos City, it would still be somewhat difficult to break through the orc base camp, which was as solid as a tortoise shell.

Unable to conquer the inner city of Chaos City, the desert orcs, that madwoman set her sights on the House of Goodness...

From the side quest, An Kai clearly saw that the Lord of Chaos City's inner city left Chaos City alone, his destination being the House of Goodness.

She went there to behead someone!

Seeing this, An Kai's eyes turned cold. This little wench has some nerve, daring to come to the Good People's House all by herself!

"Malken, tell them we have guests!"

...

The next day.

The entrance to the House of Goodness.

The city lord of Chaos City, a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder, wore a black robe and kept a five-meter distance from those in front of him, quietly leading the queue to enter the city.

She came here to carry out a decapitation, a fact she already knew through prior intelligence gathering.

The current puppet first-tier city lord, Reed, is a slave named Hanks!

In other words, killing Hanks would complete the decapitation.

Just then, Hanks and Widow Wang happened to appear on the street...

The city lord of Chaos City smiled upon seeing Hanks, then glanced at the detector: "So you only have third-tier strength? Heh, I'd like to see if the person behind you will show up after I kill you!"
