3696: C3696 New Order

C3696 New Order

The grand occasion of the eightieth anniversary, the surrender of the Haodang Mountain, the dissolution of Du Hai's Trade Union, Golden Cauldron King's declaration, and the silence of the many forces of the Great Reef all informed everyone that the Wu Steel Palace was rising at an alarming rate.

After Du Hai's Trade Union was disbanded, the Weiyang Palace used the way of selling and renting, and acquired many small forces in the Trade Union. They also took over many ports, and began to build a branch city and trading town outside of Palace Lord of Weiyang City.

Then, perhaps out of consideration for balance, or to give some face, a few newly established city guards of the branch cities and trading towns all hired elite warriors of Morality Sect.

It was equivalent to Weiyang Gong eating meat and giving Morality Sect some soup.

Morality Sect took over this business.

Then, Weiyang Gong began a series of encirclement movement.

Most of the areas close to the Weiyang Palace were either mountains or swamps, and these areas all belonged to them. After Weiyang Palace had established his prestige, these nearby forces started to make clear their attitude and rely on Weiyang Palace, so Weiyang Palace also began to form various Trade Union or strategic alliances with these forces, a large number of open caravans and legions had the right of way, and there were also a large number of areas that allowed Weiyang Palace's residents to set up merchants and buy land. Although these areas and forces appeared to be independent on the surface, since the signing of the agreement, they were actually already part of Weiyang Palace.

Because Weiyang Palace was too rich and had too many residents. Once they were allowed to buy land and travel freely, a large number of Weiyang Palace residents rushed into the surrounding area and began to enclose the land.

At the end of the eightieth year, the territory of Weiyang Palace expanded by sixty percent, and more than a dozen sub-cities were built.

In order to maintain the newly incorporated territory, Weiyanggong began to form a "coalition defense force".

The Great Reef had never been able to be brought about, there were all kinds of mountain kings, there were countless robbers, and only powerful merchants and organisations could maintain peace, and the scope of maintenance was only within their own sphere of influence.

But the alliance formed by Mr Liu will manage a huge area.

All the forces that had formed an alliance with Weiyanggong and signed a contract could join the Allied Defense Forces voluntarily and receive a salary from the Allied Defense Forces Conference. In addition to maintaining the safety of the Allied members, the Allied Defense Forces also managed the business routes of all the members, and even protected some larger merchant groups.

Other than the members of various powers, the allied defense forces also had a large number of mercenaries who came from Morality Sect, about thirty percent of them.

By the summer of the eighty-first year of the Weiyang Palace, the allied army had fully formed and became the managers of many commercial routes. Following that, the Weiyang Palace's City Guard Regiment and the allied army began a series of "war of extermination".

The target of the sweep was the many Hill's Kings within the trading area.

These hill kings all had their own ways of doing things, often doing raiding business, so Weiyang Gong used this as the name of the name to carry out the crusade. Within four months, 107 mountain kings were captured and imprisoned in Weiyang Palace, and all of their territories were destroyed, then public tenders were held to sell these 107 mountain kings' land to Weiyang Palace and all the merchants that allied with Weiyang Palace.

These territories were free of charge, because they were a masterless land, but not everyone could obtain them. One must provide enough money or resources to carry out the bidding, and these resources and money would not fall into the hands of anyone. They would be responsible through the Allied Defense Forces, form a new treasury, and then jointly develop the 107 territories.

At the beginning of the year, one hundred and seven trading towns were established on one hundred and seven pieces of land, forming a "Trade Union of Mount Lianshan". The members of the Trade Union were equal, and the Allied Defence Forces and Weiyang Gong were responsible for the unification of public security.

In eighty-four years, Weiyang Palace and Jiang Cheng's Mansion began their battle.

Jiang Cheng's Mansion is a huge organization with a lot of roots. The leader is also one of the Peak Overlord.

This Peak Overlord was also from another realm, the Divine King.

This battle was the center of attention, because ever since the rise of Wu Steel Palace, although the various powers had somewhat rejected them, the only one who truly dared to fight against them, had always been Du Hai's Trade Union. However, after Golden Cauldron King requested for a truce, the Trade Union lost all its combat ability and the hearts of the people dispersed, thus the Wu Steel Palace had never actually fought against a true great power.

At that time, the conflict between Jiang Cheng's Mansion and Weiyang Gong started with Du Hai's Trade Union. At that time, Jiang Cheng's Mansion had many businesses at Du Hai's Trade Union, and after Trade Union was defeated, Weiyang Gong hoped to negotiate with Jiang Cheng's Mansion and discuss a solution to the conflict, divide the territory, but Jiang Cheng's Mansion refused. After that, as the Jiang Cheng's Mansion gradually expanded, the alliance defense army and some of the raiders under Weiyang Palace's command started to clash.

The scope of the war was very wide, but large-scale battles did not occur. Usually, there would be friction at the borders, and small scale battles would occur between the allied defense troops and some of Jiang Cheng's Mansion armies. Later on, Weiyang Gong would first send out his elites to assist in the battle, then he would recruit a few alliance members that followed Weiyang Gong's orders to form a new army and step into Jiang Cheng's Mansion territory.

Jiang Cheng's Mansion immediately gathered their own forces and started to organize a counterattack, hiring a large number of armies from places outside of Great Reef. However, this year, Weiyang Gong had already become extremely huge, with great strength.

In the end, Jiang Cheng's Mansion chose to pay a huge price to hire an elite of Morality Sect.

The Morality Sect had always provided excellent mercenaries other than Great Reef and the eight divine nations. The Morality Sect focused on benefits and was even used multiple times to send troops to both sides of the war. However, the Morality Sect had always maintained the principle that on the battlefield, mercenaries of the Morality Sect were not allowed to fight with each other.

Amongst the many businesses that Jiang Cheng's Mansion was doing, there were also a few mercenary businesses. This was somewhat contradictory to Morality Sect, so Jiang Cheng's Mansion had always hoped to not send reinforcements to Morality Sect.

This time, he realized that he was too weak. He couldn't do anything about it.

However, the results that followed made the Jiang Cheng's Mansion extremely furious. With all kinds of reasons, Morality Sect's requests were rejected, and then, Jiang Cheng's Mansion's envoy was delayed. In the end, when Morality Sect had to make a choice, it actually listed all of the contradictions and small conflicts that Jiang Cheng's Mansion and Morality Sect had had over the past few years, and instead declared war on them!2
