Chapter 352 - 107: Conflict Zone
By all means, the uncontrolled regions are usually in the most remote areas of a country, but for the Eagle Alliance, this was not the norm.
Since it was mainly autonomous, any place where the sovereignty was unclear was highly likely to breed crime.
The remote area mentioned by Xu Fubin was actually not very far from the Seven Floating Worlds; by using various dimensional gates, the three of them spent over six thousand Gold Coins and three days to reach his hometown — the Korrohas dimension.
"Only two mines exist in this dimension, each monopolized by a great Duke’s faction. They only care about mining and pay no heed to the peasants, leading to rampant bandits who act as kings." Stepping into the Korrohas dimension, Xu Fubin curled his lips disdainfully as he scanned the busy peasants around him, who were hired by the dukes as cheap laborers, surviving on plain meals of steamed bread. Yet, this hard labor was considered the most desirable job in this dimension as it came with the protection of the Duke’s factions.
"Get out of the way, the three of you, move quickly and stop blocking the way!" the foreman shouted loudly at the newly arrived Lu Hong, obviously accustomed to throwing his weight around.
"Ignore him, let’s go." Xu Fubin snorted softly and then led the way out of the mining town.
"Where shall we rest?" Although it was not a continuous teleport like the previous trip to the Great Bright Realm, there hadn’t been much rest along the way, and thus Anna’s face involuntarily showed signs of fatigue. Lu Hong was very concerned, "Let’s find a place to stay first, then you tell me where your village is, and I’ll go and bring them out."
"Are you sure you’re going alone?" Xu Fubin was still worried. He had asked this question many times before on the road and had always received the same nod from Lu Hong.
"Don’t ask anymore — my man, he can definitely handle it." Anna recalled the scenes when Lu Hong overpowered the Snow Clan Great Emperor in the magic video; in her eyes, as long as Lu Hong could activate his Angry Blood Warrior, there was no trouble he couldn’t solve.
"Alright, I’m just worried that in trying to save others, you might end up getting yourself in trouble," Xu Fubin continued, "Also, move quickly; if you encounter villagers, just show them the token I gave you yesterday; they’ll know you’re one of us."
