Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 859 - 743: The Witch Demon’s Little Probe
As the Rescue Ship arrived, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Large sections of camps were set up, and various kinds of food were transported down, placed directly in front of the refugees.
The enormous amount of food made the refugees believe in Kane even more.
Then came the preparations, food preservation, and looking at those weapons and equipment designed in the past.
These were the items intended for trade with the Holy Light Alliance people later.
With the arrival of the ships, various intelligence reports began to reach the leadership in various places.
The entire Holy Light Alliance received firsthand intelligence of the Rescue Ship's arrival within half a day.
The cooperation agreements discussed earlier were being put into practice, and the refugees from various countries and forces were being organized according to the terms previously agreed upon to be transported to the harbor.
The City Lords of various cities couldn't wait any longer; they hurriedly began transporting.
Even to ensure that these refugees didn't stop midway, they fed them well before departing.
After all, this was the last time.
The arrival of the gigantic ship showcased the national power of the Lamp Kingdom to the Holy Light Alliance.
Efficient government and highly efficient civil servants.
A powerful military and golden rank strongmen, just this time, more than a dozen came for support.
These were precisely the golden-ranked commanders under Kane, who also followed along.
After all, the Undead influence was much stronger than Kane's earlier knowledge.
This necessitated more support; you couldn't expect the Holy Light Alliance soldiers to be the main force.
Moreover, the participating soldiers could also receive Mist rewards afterward.
All the forces within the Holy Light Alliance tacitly abandoned their previous plans, treating matters related to the Lamp Kingdom with the highest regard.
This was an entity they could not afford to provoke; befriending the Lamp Kingdom was the optimal benefit.
After all, the Lamp Kingdom's actions had always seemed very friendly, prompting several kingdom forces to discreetly change policies that were unfriendly to civilians.
The changes caused by Kane and his allies would ultimately be credited to them.
Though not much, it's better than nothing.
The Mist is a fair existence, never forgetting anyone's contribution to the world.
The most important reason Kane brought so many soldiers is because of Infinite Magic Power coupled with resurrection, ensuring nearly all soldiers' safety.
This means that as long as they live through this, enduring until the Undead are annihilated,
Kane's forces would see a rapid emergence of golden rank strongmen like mushrooms after rain.
Those already at the golden rank would firmly establish themselves in this tier.
At least they could grasp one rule.
Grasping a rule means truly standing firm at the golden rank, with a chance to climb further.
Of course, the prerequisite for everything is survival.
As long as they survive the battle, the immense contributions from countless Undead will surely yield ample rewards.
Approaching the second day's noon.
Whitehorn and the negotiation team finally managed to settle on specific collaboration projects with those officials.
Seeing the Minotaur beside him, Kane asked, "So, how did the negotiations turn out this time?"
"Your Majesty, the negotiation results this time were better than we expected, appearing as if Your Majesty made an excellent first impression on them."
Hearing Whitehorn's words and seeing her gaze, Kane smiled.
This indicated that their efforts during this period were not in vain, exploding completely when the ship arrived.
Making Kane and his people a presence the Holy Light Alliance couldn't dare to provoke.
Not to mention, Kane and his people's goal was to annihilate the entire Undead influence.
Before the Undead influence is eliminated, the Holy Light Alliance wouldn't dare conflict with Kane and his team; instead, they had to rely on them, making many concessions.
However, Kane and his allies naturally wouldn't abuse their power or take advantage.
Taking a steady and long-term approach is what's right; killing the goose that lays the golden eggs isn't advisable.
Then Whitehorn reported to Kane the results of a whole day's worth of negotiation.
Whether accepting refugees or resisting the Undead influence.
They were at a disadvantage, so compensation was needed from other areas.
Henceforth, they had preferential purchasing rights for all products and materials within the Holy Light Alliance and its subordinate forces.
Additionally, a small area around the port and its vicinity would become their territory.
Their soldiers couldn't approach or enter without permission.
The transactions occurring within that area would have to pay Kane the due transaction taxes.
These were within the Holy Light Alliance's tolerance, they even felt it was somewhat profitable.
As for more terms, no results were negotiated, preparations for continuing discussions when needed.
After understanding the situation, Kane prepared to leave, taking the soldiers to the frontline fort.
Besides Whitehorn, two additional golden-ranked members and 500 soldiers were left behind, while the others had to proceed to the frontline.
Due to the large number of people following this time, Kane and his team could only travel to the fort at a standard marching speed.
