Chapter 644: The First Female Territory Lord, a Sudden Night Ambus.h.!.+ Part 1
“The territory on Three Dollar Moutain deserves the t.i.tle of the strongest in Eight Peak Mountain. They have at least 500 people in their territory and generous amounts of resources as well as weapons.
“Dating back to a month ago, the great territory lord of Origin Territory had also sent people to this base to recruit people but was rejected by Three Dollar Territory. After that, the incident in Origin Territory happened, so there was no continuation of the matter.”
The Liu brothers pointed to the campfire in the distance as they explained clearly and concisely.
Su Mo discovered the two brothers were not evil in nature, besides the crimes they committed when they indulged in their sudden acquisition of power.
“You’re familiar with this territory?”
After listening to them for a while, Su Mo put down his binoculars and turned to them with a smile.
They were both territory lords within Great Mountain, so for him to be so clearly familiarized with the situation of another territory would mean two possibilities.
One was they were in a hostile relations.h.i.+p with them and had done proper research on them in preparation for an upcoming conflict at any time.
The other would be that they were allies and had excellent connections with the other party, so they had lowered their defenses against each other, allowing each other to gain access to the information within each other’s territory.
Otherwise, it was impossible for them to understand the territory so well.
…
Being stared at by Su Mo, Liu Jie suddenly realized how inappropriate it was or him to be so knowledgeable about the other territory.
He blushed and frantically scratched his head.
“I’m not too familiar with them, but we’ve stayed there for one night when I pa.s.sed by in the past. I had briefly communicated with the people of the territory.
“The territory lords of other places were usually men, but the territory lord of Three Dollar Territory was a beautiful woman. The people also gathered mainly consisted of women, and hardly any men were around.
“That’s the reason I did a bit more research on them.”
“Oh?”
Su Mo was also subconsciously surprised that the territory lord of Three Dollar Mountain was a woman.
When the humans were transmigrated a month ago, there were very few men with strong combat power. Most of the people in the Deep Sea were mainly women with weaker combat power and low physical fitness.
In the New World, the majority of the main forces were men with strong physiques and highly capable in combat. Unless they were forced ash.o.r.e, it was rare for women to step foot into the New World as a group to seize opportunities.
Now, they were about to encounter a group from a female-dominated territory within the mountains that even had a female territory lord.
This proved the suspicion that Su Mo had in his heart.
“Yes, the territory lord of Three Dollar Territory, Lord Sun, is extremely powerful. Uhm, well… What I mean by strong is not that she uses modern weapons but that she’s really skilled in physical combat, and it’d be hard for even three to five men to win against her. It’s not that they haven’t been targetted before, but most who tried were suppressed or forced to surrender because of her terrifying skills.
“I remember that when the Origin Camp tried to recruit them, Three Dollar Territory already had about four to five hundred people. I wonder if their numbers increased after a month!” Liu Zhi replied.
Su Mo extracted several critical pieces of information from Liu Zhi.
At the same time, he was also slightly started by the fact that they already had so many people a month ago.
“Is this Lord Sun intending to expand her territory or lead the people out of the mountains for further development?”
Liu Zhi gave it a thought and then turned toward his brother, Liu Jie.
Liu Jie’s eyes met his brothers, and he immediately stepped forward, reluctantly replying with an airy voice.
“I’ve met Lord Sun before, and her personality isn’t timid or cautious like us brothers. I could sense that she was ambitious but…well, we only secretly schemed and had minor conflicts because it would likely result in significant damage to both parties if we went against each other. We’re not that far apart. It was much safer for us to remain on neutral terms.
“However, it isn’t as simple outside the mountains. Not only would one have to face the suppression, pursuit, and coercion of foreign races every day, one would have to be prepared for the attacks of people with ulterior motives.
“Lord Sun naturally wasn’t afraid if she were to face the risks alone, but she was aware that those under her were women that would be wiped out by half if they really went against another enemy. It wouldn’t be long before the territory became empty. What development could she achieve if there was no one left? My guess is that she’s worried and unable to do anything, so we definitely have the chance to…
“The chance to conquer them!”
Liu Jie paused for a while before finally saying the final words.
Unlike his younger brother, who was more naive, Liu Jie was well aware of the nature of humans. He had a slight idea of the purpose of Su Mo’s journey.
However…
“Conquer?
“That isn’t something urgent right now!”
Shaking his head and looking at the campfire again, Su Mo turned to give orders.
“Set up the camp, set up a campfire, prepare dinner, and where I am standing will be the center of the station. Everyone, start moving now!
“Teams 1, 2, and 3 will be responsible for clearing all obstacles within 100 meters and establis.h.i.+ng basic defense facilities. Teams 4, 5, and 6 will be responsible for setting up tents and collecting overnight resources. Teams 7, 8, and 9 will be responsible for searching the vicinity and ensuring our camp’s safety.
“We’re staying here for the night and will continue discussions tomorrow morning!”
As the saying goes, a horse focused on the mountain will die running.
It seemed that the distance between Er Lang Mountain and Three Dollar Mountain was not far away but to measure it with physical strength, they would only be able to arrive at the foot of the opposite mountain by four to five in the morning.
They would take another two hours to climb to the mountainside to reach the territory.
It would be an extremely tiring journey for them.
Su Mo thought it was necessary to have a good first impression of the first friendly camp they were about to meet in Great Mountain.
He was afraid they would be unable to begin proper communication and subdue them if the other party saw that the soldiers on his side were exhausted and weak.
Su Mo was naturally clear on the importance of giving a strong impression.
After the order was issued, the soldiers were obviously excited when they heard that they did not have to continue to climb mountains from night to morning.
One by one, the movements of the soldiers were much faster than in the daytime.
