Lord of All People: My Undead Skeletons Billions

Chapter 218 The Four Heroes of Wanjin Mountain! One extraordinary, two rare, and one elite!

As early as the beginning of the advent, the territories surrounding Wanjinshan Town were not just four, but dozens.

They also depended on the town of Wanjinshan, and gained a lot of wealth by trading goods, thus achieving rapid development of the territory.

However, as the number of lords increased, conflicts were inevitable. Fights and conflicts constantly broke out between them for the sake of interests and territory.

The whole process of their becoming stronger was extremely cruel. After a series of competitions, only four lords were left.

While the lords in other areas were still struggling to develop, Ji Chengshi and his group of lords had already carried out a "Lord War", and those who remained in the end were the best among the lords.

Ji Chengshi is one of them. He has already upgraded his territory to bronze level, making him one of the first or second echelons among the lords.

Ji Chengshi is very confident and proud of his current achievements.

However, Ji Chengshi was not proud and complacent, because there were three other lords who were as powerful as him.

Because of this, he was unable to dominate the area, and not only had to guard against threats from the other three lords, but was also subject to the jurisdiction of the Wanjinshan town.

This made his territory different from other lords, as it was only half the size of a normal bronze-level territory.

As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. The rapid development of Ji Chengshi and the other three lords is due to the benefits of Wanjinshan Town.

Ji Chengshi and his men do not need to send troops to the mining areas for mining like the lords of other wasteland areas. The amount of mining depends on the number of laborers.

They only need to enter the free market in Wanjinshan Town, and they can purchase a large amount of ores there, including but not limited to several kinds of mineral resources needed for territory construction, such as hematite, bronze, mithril, refined gold, etc., and even rarer ores.

Because the wasteland is rich in various mineral resources, they can buy large quantities of cheap ores at extremely low prices in the free market, and then sell them to other lords through the lord's trading system, thereby making huge profits.

At the same time, they can also purchase various resources in the trading system, especially those that are in urgent need in the wasteland, such as fresh water resources, food, fruit, rubber, seafood, etc.

Through bilateral trade, it is hard for anyone with a little business acumen not to make money.

However, in the beginning, there were many lords and the competition was very fierce. The reason why Ji Chengshi was able to stand out was that, in addition to being a rare lord himself, he also united several other powerful lords to establish an offensive and defensive alliance organization, known as the Four Heroes of Wanjin Mountain. They emerged as a dark horse and used their respective advantages to quickly defeat other lords, thus achieving the result of "dominant by one person".

Therefore, the only four lords left in Wanjinshan Town were all members of the same organization.

Of course, it is the same now. After they eliminated other lords, they established the Wanjinshan Chamber of Commerce.

The emergence of Wanjinshan Chamber of Commerce was to obtain a stable trading market and to ensure the interests of several lords.

Because in order to compete for the market, the lords often undercut each other on price and use malicious competition to gain a larger market share.

In order to avoid damage to each other's interests, chambers of commerce came into being.

It is precisely because of the establishment of the resource business alliance that Ji Chengshi and the other four lords all understand that if they work together, both sides will benefit, but if they fight, both sides will lose.

Later, they united and developed together, and the speed was truly astonishing.

By now, each of them has become a Bronze one-star territory, and they have a large amount of resources in their hands, which is enough for them to be upgraded to Bronze two-star or even Bronze three-star territory.

But after they eliminated dissidents, destroyed other lords, and expanded their territory, they were faced with a bigger problem.

That is because their territory is too close to Wanjinshan Town, and the territory and the town are intertwined.

However, because their territory level is lower than Wanjinshan Town, you can see that their territory is not circular, but lacks a huge concave corner.

At the same time, the expansion of their territory also attracted the attention of the managers of Wanjinshan Town, who issued them a death order that the territory area must remain the same and no further expansion was allowed, otherwise they would be cleared out.

As the saying goes, success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He!

Relying on the Wanjinshan Town, they have developed far beyond the other lords. However, because of the existence of Wanjinshan Town, it has now become the biggest obstacle to the expansion of the territory.

Otherwise, with the resources they currently have, they will definitely be able to continue upgrading the territory and expand its area.

Although Ji Chengshi and his companions were subject to some restrictions, they did not sit idly by and wait for death.

On the one hand, it continues to strengthen its strength and shift its expansion direction to the vast land outside the town.

On the other hand, he used some of the "rare resources" and wealth in his hands to secretly recruit some guards and officials, obtain some conveniences in channels, and bribe some refugees or indigenous people in the town to attract them to become residents of the territory.

As a lord, the thing he has the most is ambition.

Ji Chengshi and others are no exception.

They are now controlled by Wanjinshan Town and have no choice but to compromise, simply because they are not strong enough.

However, they have never given up on seizing control of Wanjinshan Town and becoming the real masters of the town.

But now they can only use some shameful little tricks.

After all, the strength is not there yet!
There are many top-notch experts in Wanjin Mountain, especially the mayor who has been in office for decades and whose strength is unfathomable.

Including Ji Chengshi, they had already planned to take over Wanjinshan Town as the next step for the Chamber of Commerce.

But who would have thought that an unexpected situation would occur at this moment.

To the east of Wanjinshan Town, a huge territory actually appeared. Its scale was probably at the silver level!
This is simply unbelievable!

After a while.

Inside the Free Market, in a building with a sign that read 'Wanjinshan Chamber of Commerce', Ji Chengshi and three other lords sat face to face, observing each other's expressions, all with worried expressions on their faces.

Apart from that, it seemed that everyone else's eyes were very alert.

Behind them, each of them brought their most powerful combat troops to guard against others.

At the beginning of the alliance, everyone trusted each other very much, talked about everything, united and helped each other, and only in this way were they able to deal with dozens of other lords.

But when the external enemies disappeared, other thoughts began to arise in the minds of the people present.

On the surface, everyone seems to be in harmony, but in reality, they all have their own ulterior motives.

The reason is actually very simple: a struggle for interests.

You know, there is competition among them. Although the Chamber of Commerce makes huge profits, because the pie is so big, everyone wants to enjoy it alone.

As long as they destroy the other lords, they will be able to become the exclusive partner of Wanjinshan Town and control the market of Wanjinshan Town!

Maybe, he will become one of the top lords among billions of lords.

With such a huge temptation, who wouldn’t want to monopolize it instead of sharing it equally with others?

In other words, if they could monopolize the entire Wanjin Mountain market, or even occupy the entire Wanjin Mountain town, they might become one of the best among the billions of lords. If it was before today, the most real thought in their hearts was to kill each other and annex Wanjin Mountain town.

After all, the internal threat is far greater than the external one.

However, after Qin Luo upgraded his territory to the silver level, his powerful strength could no longer be concealed and was directly exposed in front of them.

This caused Ji Chengshi and the others to feel a strong sense of crisis.

They originally thought that their biggest threat was each other, but who would have thought that there was such a powerful 'enemy' outside, and so close to them.

It is totally unrealistic to say that Qin Luo's territory is just a little closer to them and does not pose any real threat.

Because they themselves are lords, they naturally know what kind of creature a lord is!
In particular, no lord could resist the temptation to stop expanding his territory.

Ji Chengshi and his men no longer upgraded their territory because they were under someone else's roof and did not dare to go against the will of the town's top leaders, not because they themselves did not want to upgrade.

"Everyone has seen the territory in the east, right?"

In the living room, one of them suddenly said.

This man's name is Murong Mingjun, one of the four heroes of Wanjin Mountain. He was originally just an elite lord with elite soldiers, the Iron-Eating Beasts.

Among the dozens of lords near Wanjinshan Town, he is inconspicuous.

However, the Iron-Eating Beast has a powerful talent, which is the ability to feed on various metal element ores and quickly improve its own strength.

After Murong Mingjun discovered this, he bought a large amount of metal ore to feed the iron-eating beasts under his command, which originally had only ordinary strength, and quickly grew to the black iron realm!
At this time, there were two iron-eating beasts standing behind Murong Mingjun, emitting a powerful aura.

If Qin Luo was present, he would be able to discover that this iron-eating beast already possessed the strength of the bronze realm.

And this is also the reason why Murong Mingjun was able to survive the fierce competition and sit here.

On the right side of Murong Mingjun is Ji Chengshi, who possesses a rare troop, the Ice Flame Demon Lion, which can manipulate two different elemental bodies, fire and ice, at the same time.

Behind Ji Chengshi also stood two Ice Flame Demon Lions, whose strength was at the same bronze level as the Iron Devouring Beasts.

However, unlike the Iron Devouring Beasts that grew by feeding on metal ores, he spent a huge amount of resources to cultivate these two Bronze-level Ice Flame Demon Lions.

Of course, Ji Chengshi's territory was upgraded to the Bronze Realm, and the level of the barracks was not bad either. Although it was not like Qin Luo who upgraded the barracks to the fourth-level extraordinary level, it was also upgraded to the second level. He was able to directly recruit extraordinary soldiers, the Flame Dragon, and they would be of the Bronze Realm strength once recruited.

But Ji Chengshi did not bring out the Flame Dragon, but brought the Ice Flame Lion as before.

Because the Ice Flame Demon Lion is his first type of soldier.

The others also lead the first type of troops, which are the combat troops recruited initially.

Instead of bringing 'advanced' troops.

On the one hand, although the Flame Dragons are very powerful, their numbers are relatively small and they cannot be consumed at all.

On the other hand, it is to hide one's strength and prevent others from knowing one's true strength.

Not only Ji Chengshi, but the other four people present at this time, except the lord himself, basically brought the first-class troops.

For example, Murong Mingjun’s barracks were most likely upgraded to the third level, but the troops they brought out today were only first-level elite iron-eating beasts.

In addition to these two people, there was a man and a woman sitting opposite them.

The female lord was named Wanyan Wanrong, a rare lord. Behind her stood two two-meter-tall soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding black spears.

This is exactly Wanyan Wanrong’s first type of soldier: the rare type of heavy spear knight!
In the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce, there are two Arabian horses, which are the mounts of the heavy lance knights.

Humanoid combat troops are extremely rare.

What's more, it is a rare type of combat soldier, which makes many lords envious!

Among the combat arms present, if fighting alone, the Heavy Lancer might not be a match for the Iron Devourer or the Ice Flame Demon Lion.

But if the two armies were to fight on the battlefield, the Heavy Lancers would definitely win in the end!

"Whose territory is that???"

"Such a large scale, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably more than bronze level, it should be a silver level territory!"

The last young man said with a serious expression.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the attention of the other three was instantly drawn to him, and they looked at him with a hint of fear in their eyes.

The four people present had different initial barracks, which led to different initial strengths.

The lowest 'level' is the Murong Ming army. At the beginning, they could only recruit elite soldiers, the Iron Devouring Beasts. However, due to the Iron Devouring Beasts' innate characteristics and the large amount of metal resources they could provide, their growth rate was very fast. Today, their strength is not inferior to those rare soldiers.

As for Ji Chengshi and Wanyan Wanrong, they are both rare lords and their development speed is not slow either.

Even as long as it develops normally, it will surpass the vast majority of lords.

After all, not every rare lord is as unlucky as Lord Xiong Zifang who owns the green-skinned giant.

After a period of development, the strength of Ji Chengshi and the other two were almost the same.

But there was one exception, and that was Ou Chuyuan, the young man who had just spoken.

According to the level classification of different lords in the barracks, Ou Chuyuan is an extraordinary lord and can recruit extraordinary soldiers from the initial barracks.

Ou Chuyuan’s first type of soldier is the elemental elves, which are at the level of three-star Black Iron once they are recruited.

After a period of normal growth, most of them were promoted to the bronze level.

As for the first types of soldiers of the other three lords, the reason why they were able to be promoted to the bronze realm so quickly was that they had spent a lot of price. For example, the iron-eating beasts devoured and consumed a large amount of metal elements, the flaming lions of Murong Mingjun attracted some natural treasures with ice and fire elements, and the two heavy spear knights learned many powerful skills, thus achieving a breakthrough in the realm.

In short, except for the elemental elves who can break through the bronze realm through normal growth, the troops of the other lords all require a huge price and resources to pile up to gain bronze combat power!

Behind Ou Chuyuan was floating an elemental elf that was glowing all over, wearing colorful clothes, had wings as thin as cicada wings, and had a flawless face.

Each of the other three lords brought two bronze-level combat soldiers, but Ou Chuyuan only brought one elemental elf.

Moreover, people like Ji Chengshi and the other two looked at Ou Chuyuan with a hint of fear, fearing that the other party would suddenly attack him. Ou Chuyuan's expression seemed much calmer. Perhaps it could be said that he did not take the other three people present seriously at all and was not afraid that they would pose any threat to him.

This is also the confidence that comes from strength.
