I wonder if others would be surprised that a piece of wood dared to be listed at such a sky-high price.

"Alright, just wait."

Zong Shen smiled. He could imagine his brother Zong Ze's current mood.

After giving a very simple response, he hurried to the [Market] to start searching for wood, using the listing price as a filter, and easily found Zong Ze's listing.

After confirming the trader's information, he chose to purchase it.

After deducting ten thousand Mainland Continent Universal Dinars, he acquired a piece of Wood.

This is definitely the most expensive wood ever.

Zong Shen's Dinar balance became a little over ninety thousand.

Ten thousand Dinars meant nothing to him.

No matter how down and out Zong Shen might be, he still wouldn't be unable to afford this money. Even if he asked the strategy guide to tell him where some lost money could be picked up, he might collect quite a bit.

So he wouldn't be stingy with his brother because there was simply no need.

Those with grand prospects don't care about small profits.

Just like the three hundred pieces of secret silver he gave to Jiang Yi; from a value perspective, three hundred secret silver is not a small amount, but to Zong Shen, it was nothing. He's confident in his future, so he doesn't care about these things at all, which is a shift in mindset on a strategic level.

Those three hundred pieces of secret silver couldn't make him a fortune, especially since he still had over three thousand secret silver left in his pocket.

Sometimes, having a strategy is really important; looking at development with a long-term perspective will lead to different gains, enabling Zong Shen to move more determinedly towards his goals.

After finishing with Ah Ze's side, Zong Shen didn't feel like chatting much.

It's only nine in the morning. With the territory expansion now complete, what he needs to do now is form a legion and have Jiang Yi manage it while he must rush to the secret base of the Calamity Raven Church before noon to transport all those materials back to the territory!

If Zong Shen missed those materials delivered to his door, he would indeed deserve divine punishment.

With the territory expansion task completed, the warriors of the Exploration Squad gathered again outside the small courtyard.

Wenresa rode the Grassland Horse back to the Burrow Frontline.

Wolf Rider Squad Two continued patrolling outside the territory, while the undermanned Wolf Rider Squad Three was resting.

Marie was holding the [Vitality Vine Wood Box] near the farmland, instructing the farmers Erya and Xiaoping.

Dutra led over two hundred Kobolds bustlingly collecting near the territory; with so many Kobolds gathered, ordinary burrow monster swarms of dozens or a hundred were no match.

Everything in the territory seemed orderly, each on their own duty without any confusion or idleness, which made Zong Shen feel relieved.

He returned to the small courtyard and opened the [Legion] function.

[Create Legion][Join Legion][View Legion][Legion List]

There were four sub-options, of which, apart from [View Legion], the others could all be opened for now.

Zong Shen first opened the [Legion List], in which thirteen legions were listed sparsely.

All were legions created in this region, with Medina's Light Chaser Legion surprisingly ranked fifth.

[NO.5: Light Chaser Legion lv1][Members: 8]

Medina's legion had only 8 members but ranked fifth in the region, among thirteen legions, ranking middle to above average, indicating that the number of legion creators in the entire area wasn't very large.

Zong Shen glanced at the top-ranked legion, with a total of 14 members, which seemed like weaklings pecking at each other.

[NO.1: Desire Legion lv1][Members: 14]

The legions in the region seemed to be just playing around, with no strong forces yet born, still at the initial stage, leaving lots of operational space and resource availability, a prime opportunity to create a legion.

Zong Shen closed the [Legion List] and opened [Create Legion], finally understanding why there were only thirteen legions in total in the area.

Because creating a legion was also threshold-dependent, which, for current Lords, wasn't easy to meet.

[Create Legion]

[Requirement: Reputation ＞ 500

Mainland Continent Universal Dinar × 1000

Territory Level ＞ 1

Lord Level ＞ 10

Territory Command ＞ 80]

[Click to create]

Don't underestimate these conditions; presently, most Lords still couldn't meet all of them.

Generally, they could only meet one or a few of the conditions.

Like Command Value ＞ 80, which needed at least 40 Tier Three Warriors or 80 Tier Two Warriors and farmers to meet the requirement.

For most people to meet the legion creation requirements, it might still take some time to develop.

But for Zong Shen, this was the best opportunity to rise!

He directly chose to create a legion, expending a thousand Mainland Continent Universal Dinars, and the legion was successfully created!

[Please name your legion]

[Note: Once confirmed, legion names cannot be changed]

[]

A text prompt appeared, indicating for Zong Shen to name his legion in the blank space.

Zong Shen thought for a moment, remembering the scenes where the strategy guide led him.

Having guidance is indeed important.

"The legion name will be 'Guides'."

"One day, it will become the true guide for many!"

"Guide them to change their fate..."

With this in mind, he entered [Guides Corps] as the legion name.

[Legion successfully created]

[Guides Corps]

A system prompt appeared, signifying the formal creation of Zong Shen's legion.

After creating the legion, the [View Legion] option became accessible.

Zong Shen opened View Legion, displaying the basic situation of the legion and some extended functions.

[Guides Corps]

[Legion Commander: Zong Shen][Deputy Legion Commander: None (limit 2)][Trade Officer: None (limit 1)][Combat Officer: None (limit 1)][Diplomat: None (limit 1)]

[Sub-Commander: None (limit 10)]

[Members: 1/120]

[Legion Level: 1]

[Legion Support: Enabled]

[Legion Building: Not Enabled]

[Legion Technology: Not Enabled]

[Legion Enhancement: Not Enabled]

[Legion Trade: Not Enabled]

[Click to view legion range and send joining invitations]

[Click to view legion upgrade conditions]

Now it's still a level 1 whiteboard legion, with many functions not enabled, and Zong Shen was still a commander with no subordinates!

The urgent task at hand is to quickly recruit legion members, enhance legion strength, and rapidly upgrade the legion.

Currently, Zong Shen's territory is level eight, with a radius range of eight kilometers, covering a total area of 200.96 square kilometers, occupying approximately one two-hundredth of the total area of the region.

With further upgrades to territory level, the coverage area will increase further.

He opened the legion range to see the area where invitations could be extended to Lords.

A map instantly unfolded before Zong Shen.

Most of it was black, with only a small circular area illuminated, in which there were about thirty to forty small shining red dots.

These red dots represented the positions of surrounding Lords.

Each red dot could receive a legion invitation once every 24 hours.

Zong Shen searched southwest for Jiang Yi's territory. The straight-line distance between him and Jiang Yi's territory should be enough.

Only because of terrain isolation, blocked by many small groves, the path needed to zigzag, making the distance seem slightly longer.

The straight-line distance should meet the range conditions.

Sure enough, Zong Shen found Jiang Yi at the edge of the range, just barely!

He chose to send a legion invitation to Jiang Yi.

The other party was evidently waiting for this moment too, almost instantly choosing to accept.

Then Zong Shen appointed her as Deputy Legion Commander, making her a deputy in the legion, granting her the ability to send invitations and most legion permissions.

After the appointment, Jiang Yi could view the Lords within the legion range available for invitation.

She could also manage some legion development matters, while Zong Shen could directly become a hands-off manager, only needing to grasp the big direction!
