Chapter 463: Chapter 469: Too Late Even to Eat Shit While It’s Still Warm

White House office.

The President has returned from the Spirit Realm.

"Is there any news from the New York division’s forces?"

He immediately summoned the director of the Spirit Sword Bureau of the United States.

The New York Spirit Sword Bureau followed the Sand Spring City forces to fight the Red Sand Demon King, and he was very concerned about this. It has been over a week since the forces set out, and yesterday there was news that the final stage had been reached.

"Mr. President, rest assured, the Desert Province forces have already killed the Bronze Level King Monster Red Sand Demon King."

"This battle has achieved substantial results!"

"Six people from the New York Spirit Sword Bureau have reached level 14, and Luke and Diana are about to reach level 15."

The President felt relieved upon receiving this news and couldn’t help but sigh, "Even though the development of the New York Spirit Sword Bureau was always overshadowed by the Azure Dragon, following this powerful unit actually accelerated their growth."

The five major strategic departments of the Spirit Realm are not developing slowly. Their extensions have reached into over a dozen Spirit Realms, simultaneously infiltrating nearly a hundred provinces. More than half have established a stable footing, although still in the early stages.

There are only a few exceptions.

They are planning to expand territories or even target the position of Great Lord.

However, different Spirit Realms and different locations face different environments, races, and civilizational structures. The experience gathered from the Desert Province, though valuable, can only serve as a reference elsewhere.

While elsewhere they are still bitterly managing uncertain futures,

the New York Spirit Sword Bureau now controls five towns, trains over ten thousand soldiers, several thousand Production Soldiers, holds dozens of Spirit Fields, tens of mines, and the Spirit Realm team members are nearing a thousand!

While others are still searching for Overlord-level Monsters or opportunities,

the New York Spirit Sword Bureau can already participate in hunting King-level Monsters alongside the Sand Spring City forces. Although they don’t match the reputation and momentum of the Azure Dragon, the development pace of the New York division of the Spirit Sword Bureau can definitely put them in the top five or even top three among all divisions in all departments!

They create great value every day.

Acquiring numerous valuable pieces of intelligence.

The President asked, "How has the material acquisition been?"

The director of the Spirit Sword Bureau replied, "One purple item, over a dozen blue items, hundreds of green items, in addition to a large number of Crystal Stones. The harvest is very considerable, it was a very successful operation."

The President was amazed, "Purple item? There’s a purple item!"

In a great nation like the United States, the national team alone has more than a hundred contingents, and various private capital and forces have hundreds more. With such a large base, all sorts of good things are bound to be collected and circulated.

Purple items are not nonexistent.

The nation indeed has a few in its collection.

These purple items are all obtained from very unexpected encounters, with almost no chance to replicate them, requiring extraordinary luck, making them extremely rare. It’s surprising that the New York Spirit Sword Bureau managed to obtain a purple item in such a short time.

The director of the Spirit Sword Bureau sent the relevant information to the President. The item in question was none other than a magic potion formula from the Red Sand Demon King, which greatly satisfied the President. In his view, such a potion formula is even more valuable than Skill Stones.

Of course.

When he learns about the difficulty of crafting King-level magic potions,

he will understand how stringent the conditions for using this formula are!

The President simultaneously thought about how, even though the Spirit Sword Bureau could secure such significant spoils, the haul that Azure Dragon must have attained from the same battle must be enormous! Even though the New York Spirit Sword Bureau’s team is clearly strong, why does the gap seem to widen! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The director reported other matters in detail once again.

Notably mentioning that Hang Yu had captured an intelligent Red Sand Race member and was seeking a 15-level Favored Contract everywhere, he tentatively asked, "In a division in San Francisco, there is a 15-level Blue Quality Favored Contract..."

He didn’t finish the sentence.

But the meaning was obvious.

Being from different departments, the allocation of such high-level items requires approval from the White House!

The director naturally hoped to pull out this Favored Contract, after all, this Favored Contract is too advanced. It serves no purpose in the hands of a few teams in San Francisco. If it’s taken out now for exchange, considering Azure Dragon’s urgent demand, exchanging it for three or so Blue Skill Stones and one or two pieces of Blue Equipment shouldn’t be difficult, right?

Skill Stones and Equipment can have an immediate effect!

They’re much more valuable than a contract sitting in storage.

But this matter involves significant repercussions. Once Hang Yu possesses this Contract Scroll, he will contract a tremendously powerful Red Sand Race member with strength comparable to a Great Lord. Azure Dragon’s already flourishing strength will be elevated to new heights; if this kind of growth continues, how can we restrain them in the future?

After contemplating for a few minutes, the President replied, "Approved!"

The director was very surprised, "No need for a meeting discussion?"

The President said, "Once this operation is concluded, their relations with the Governor and the Three Great Lords will most likely deteriorate. The situation, which hasn’t even settled for two months yet, is set to turn chaotic again. While a crisis will reappear, opportunity is also hidden within it. If the dominant hold of Azure Dragon in the Desert is unstoppable, why don’t we seize this momentum and push further?"

The director nodded, "Yes, Mr. President, I think so too. Our capacity to interfere in the Desert Province is very limited. Azure Dragon’s dominance over the Desert Province is almost a certainty. But we can at least strive for a seat as a Great Lord."

A seat as a Great Lord.

How tempting that is!

The deeds of Hang Yu in Sand Spring City have spread worldwide.

The tremendous benefits and resources brought by Sand Spring City have allowed Azure Dragon and Cyan Dragon to grow at astonishing speeds!

Boss Hang and his Azure Dragon are truly both loved and hated. While countless elite forces across the globe are still struggling with their branches, they are already showing the potential to dominate the Desert Province. If there’s a chance to ride this fast train, why not seize the opportunity? It’s very necessary to build good relations with the New York division of the Spirit Sword Bureau.

The President stood up and said, "Have the spokesperson announce the latest Desert Province battle achievements to the media. Defeating a King-level Monster is another milestone for humanity, and we Americans are participants and witnesses, so we must handle the publicity well!"

Director: "Yes!"

......

On that day,

Hang Yu exchanged two Blue Skill Stones and one piece of equipment to obtain the contract.

Hang Yu immediately established a Favored Contract with Red Flame, officially making Red Flame his third Favored, and Red Flame was also the strongest in combat power, enough to elevate Sand Spring City’s strength to another level.

He asked Red Flame, "How many Red Sand Race soldiers can you control?"

Red Flame replied, "Up to about two thousand, limited to this area, requiring some time to adjust and tame."

This number isn’t large, but Hang Yu was very pleased, as all Red Sand Race soldiers are level 15 Golden Elite. They are extremely elite forces, sufficient to significantly boost Sand Spring City’s military power.

And at that moment,

Er Gou came over to report, "Woof, boss, my clone reconnaissance has detected several large forces, moving successively towards our location. They should be forces of other Great Lords."

Finally, they’ve come.

They were three days late.

Even if they came now, they wouldn’t even catch the heat.

Nevertheless, precisely because of this timing, the Great Lords would surely be furious. Fortunately, Hang Yu had promptly subdued Red Flame completely, thus bolstering his confidence, unafraid of confronting them on the spot.

Roughly half a day later,

several forces gathered on the plains.

Actually, even before reaching the destination, they sensed a transformation.

The restless and frenzied volcanoes rapidly calmed, the frequent earthquakes stopped showing responses, the continuously erupting lava gradually solidified; a certain power was fading from this region, which only meant one thing... the Red Sand Demon King had been slain!
