Chapter 501: They Started Fighting
Time passed and a week went by.
This time the high-level negotiations were unusually swift, concluding in just one week.
The outcome was pretty much as Xiao Zhan and the others had analyzed—joint development.
However, the method of joint development was slightly different. It involved drawing a dividing line, with each party developing their own territory rather than jointly developing everything and then sharing it equally.
Xiao Zhan understood this approach to some extent but also had his reservations.
He understood that joint development could be difficult to manage and that the areas closer to the entrance tended to be more dangerous, so this method seemed reasonable.
What he didn’t understand was, with separate development, resource distribution would inevitably become uneven. Wouldn’t that lead to disputes again?
But since this decision had already been made above, Ye Wudi and his team had no choice but to implement it.
Thus, after the Secret Realm was bisected and the boundaries were drawn, both parties started to set up camp, construct fortifications, and prepare to exploit the realm’s resources.
"The Secret Realm surely needs supervision, not only for oversight but also to prevent any incidents from the Northern Bear Federation. Let’s discuss, who should stay behind?" Ye Wudi asked everyone in the command room.
As the overall Commander, he certainly couldn’t stay, as the daily military affairs of Northern City were enough to keep him busy.
"I’ll stay behind. Facing the Northern Bear Federation requires sufficient military strength, and my Third Legion has already been stationed here," the Third Legion Commander suggested.
