Chapter 330: Affected Thoughts

“What a pity.”

Kant still sighed softly. “The damage was too severe.”

“Indeed.” Bunduk nodded in agreement.

The outer city walls and city districts of this underground city had already been destroyed by the abyssal demons like ruins. However, compared to the inner-city district, it appeared to be in relatively good condition. It wasn’t that miserable.

The inner-city district had already been completely reduced to ruins. Be it the streets or residential areas, they had all been swept away.

A large number of buildings and debris were standing in ruin.

Countless craters that were caused by heavy blows were everywhere.

From this, one could foresee just how furious the abyssal demons that had broken out of the seal were. Even when they were faced with an abandoned city that was completely empty, they were also filled with resentment because they still had unsettled business with the gods back then. They had also wasted what little power they had left and tried their best to destroy it.

Demons would always seek for revenge, but it was rare to see such a wanton waste of their own strength.

As the saying, “A quarrel benefits only the third party”. The gods fell from the kingdom of heaven, and the demons died in the abyss. Hence, the current world belonged to humans, at least in the Nahrin Desert and Senwaya Range.

The authority and dominance of these places belonged to Kant, and no one could change it. Even the surviving gods and demons could not change it.

The time had changed. The once weak humans had grasped high-end combat power.

They were the masters of this era.

Kant was the same.

Moreover, what he grasped was not only the hegemony of this world, but also the help from the various worlds.

Caradia, Pendor, the “Wind of War” MOD, the Lord of the Rings, Light and Darkness, the Custom Commander MOD, and so on. No matter which world it was, Kant could live comfortably in this world, not to mention that he had gathered all the MOD worlds!

How laughable it was to be enemies with so many worlds!

Kant had the upper hand in conquering this world, he understood it very well.

He was still striving upwards. In the process of development, even if the gods and demons returned, they would not be able to stop Kant’s development, especially since he had already taken control of the Nahrin Desert and the Senwaya Range, and his force had taken shape.

This underground city located in the ancient passageway was even more icing on the cake!

This place could be used as a transit station.

A ready-made city would be able to accommodate people if it was slightly modified.

By repairing the city walls and garrisoning troops, they would be able to firmly control this city. They would also be able to control this ancient passage that led to the border between the Dukedom of Leo and the Silver Platter Kingdom, which might be located in the East County’s territory, the Resniston River!

Most importantly, Kant did not need to waste his precious village quota.

Even today, Kant only has one village quota.

If he used this quota, who knew when he would get a new village quota next time!

At present, Kant only had Oasis Lookout’s “Drondheim” Castle and the “Aaron” City on the north side of the Senwaya Range, these two points just separate Kant’s current military and logistical requirements.

If Kant intended to use the existing village quota, then he must think carefully.

Military, agriculture and animal husbandry already existed.

Next, perhaps it was time to develop business!

The early layout and current opportunities showed that business was the crucial point.

Borg, the destitute heir from the East County, now led the 10 Sarrandian Horsemen in the rapid development of his original trade caravan. Although there had been no contact for nearly two months, at least it was estimated that it was still in the process of stabilizing and developing.

At least according to the plan that Borg had proposed to Kant before he left, it included stabilizing his own family.

For example, the fleets that were once on the river.

As long as he used Borg as a spy, Kant could easily infiltrate the East County’s territory. With the help of the Borg family’s fleets, he could quickly infiltrate the river and merge into this important trade river in a short period of time.

After all, the ancient river passage was connected to the mouth of the Resniston River.

Kant also had the [ Water bandit’s lair ] .

If he wanted to, he could build a village at the mouth of the river and build the [ Water bandit’s lair in the village. in a short period of time, he could recruit warships and various water bandits to form his own water forces!

At that time, Kant would have his own choice.

At least this was an armed force.

With ‘Drondheim’ and ‘Aaron’ as backing, the new village would take shape very quickly.

And the warships and water bandits recruited in the [ Water bandit’s lair] would also become the fourth force that could expand at any time, in addition to the original three forces in the Resniston River!

The river patrol force of the Dukedom of Leo.

The water bandits force with the background of the Silver Platter Kingdom.

The loosely organized trade caravan force formed by merchants from various countries.

Kant’s strategic plan was very perfect. It could be said that it was almost perfect. As long as he finished dealing with the threat of the undead, he could put it into action at any time and grow rapidly in a short period of time.

At that time, table salt and sugar from the Oasis Lookout would appear on the river.

This included Kant’s sphere of influence.

No one would have thought that this river was actually an ancient passage from the era of the gods. It could cross the shield-like Senwaya Range, allowing Kant to escape from the blockade of the Nahrin Desert.

Even the many noble families of the Dukedom of Leo, who had once again set up a blockade around the North County, would lose their effectiveness.

He was in control of the Stone Pass.

The control of this crucial point was equivalent to automatically excluding the noble circle of the Dukedom of Leo from entering the Nahrin Desert.

Since they were still coveting the salt mines of Oasis Lookout and did not want Kant to return to the fertile South County, the North County, which happened to be in the middle of the two, was the best buffer.

Especially Viscount Wayne’s Grothen Castleand Baron Kevin’s Maas Castle, they were both defensive lines.

The most important thing was…

The North County was Viscount Wayne’s direct territory. Since the founding of the Dukedom of Leo, it had been his family’s territory. Kant was not allowed to interfere. Otherwise, it was equivalent to slapping Viscount Wayne in the face and taking away his family’s authority!

As for Baron Kevin of Maas Castle, he was actually a spy planted in the North County by the many noble families in the South County.

Just looked at the location of this castle, it was located right in the middle of the Mountain Range of Leo and the Mountain of Death that separated the three counties from the north and south.

It was a strategic location!

In order to deal with Kant, even if they were at odds with each other, as long as the noble families of the South County were still hostile towards the Nahrin Desert, the two sides would join forces because they were still within the noble circle of the Dukedom of Leo and were allies!

As for the exiled Kant, in fact, he was already equivalent to someone outside of the circle.

If not for the bloodline of the Grand Duke of Leo still protecting him, he would have been killed by various schemes!

In fact, if Kant had not chosen the Nahrin Desert, this barren and dangerous wasteland as his territory, those noble families would probably not have tolerated him until now.

The right to inherit the kingdom and the story of the past were the source of the noble families’ hatred towards Kant.

“I’m really helpless.” Kant shook his head and put away his thoughts. These were the thoughts in his heart.

After all, his days in the Dukedom of Leo were not good. Even if he had walked all the way, it was full of challenges. Other than his own hard work, there was nothing to help him. It was really tragic.

However, at this moment, Bunduk suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Lord.”

“Huh?” Kant answered with a frown.

“There is still quite a bit of demonic power left here. It might affect your mood.”

Bunduk reminded, “You have to stabilize your mind.”

“Affect my mood.” Kant was slightly stunned. Unknowingly, they had already followed the damaged potholes and came to the stone wall of the inner city of the underground city. In front of them was a big hole, and the mysterious sacred sun pattern was carved on it.

An indiscernible black fog moved in the surrounding air as if it was real, and even floated around Kant and the others.

There was no danger.

However, it reminded Kant of bad memories.

This was the power left behind by demons. Although it was unknown, it could produce all kinds of negative emotions. In fact, the negative energy of the undead could also cause such negative emotions, causing people to give up on themselves and even die in all sorts of madness.

The reason why the reputation of the demons and the undead was so bad was also because of this.

Not to mention these evil creatures themselves, even if one were to come into contact with the items of the demons and the undead for a long time, they would become crazy and bloodthirsty. They would even become indifferent and hateful towards life, thus becoming dangerous people who were anti-human, anti-social, and anti-country.

No one was willing to become such a madman.

For example, the ten Lion Knights beside him had heavy breathing, and their eyes were bloodshot.

It was obvious that they were in a tense status.

“As expected, they are affected.” Kant saw that they were about to draw their swords and attack each other at any moment, and he thought of something.

A divine power with royal authority spread in his body, and the supernatural power instantly dispelled the fluctuation of their emotion, as well as the undetectable black fog around him.

The divine domain appeared, and it enveloped the ten Lion Knights.

One had to be careful with one’s emotions.

If one’s emotions were not good and one’s control was not strong enough, it could turn into a life-and-death battle if they disliked each other.

Kant understood this and treated it seriously.

The divine domain was effective.

The Lion Knights quickly regained their clarity and wore an ashamed face. “I’m sorry, my lord. We were affected just now and almost caused an irreparable result.”

“It’s alright.” Kant was calm.

Bunduk consciously retreated to the periphery, deeply understanding the words of this group of Lion Knights.

They were enemies in the Pendor Continent.

Of course, this fine black fog didn’t have much effect on him. Instead, he was absorbing the power contained within the black fog, gathering it into the faint shadow that appeared behind him, like an abyssal demon.

One could see tiny runes flickering within the abyssal demon behind Bunduk.

If one were to look closely, one would be shocked to discover that those runes were actually a data chain!

Or rather, it was the system’s data chain that had locked the phantom image of the abyssal demon into his body, controlling this phantom image that possessed great power and turning it into the source of Bunduk’s strength!

“Let’s see what’s in front of us.”

Kant continued to move forward.

The black fog was spreading out from the cave in front of him. It gave him the feeling that it was even more exciting than the abyssal demon he had encountered before!
