The Salted Fish Territory—oh no, it has now been bestowed with a grand and resounding name: the Holy Dragon Territory! This name was carefully considered by John before it was finalized. Initially, John intended to call it the Tyrant Domain, believing it would symbolize how the King Carp could leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a powerful Violent Carp Dragon, signifying that even a salted fish could rise to become a dragon. However, upon further reflection, he felt that the name Tyrant was not quite perfect. Thus, combining it with his own training in the Holy Light Fighting Training Method, he ultimately decided to rename it the Holy Dragon Territory.
Moreover, John skillfully employed various strategies to consolidate most of his territories into one cohesive unit through a series of exchanges and operations. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was on the verge of achieving the remarkable feat of uniting his entire territory into one seamless expanse! However, there was one small piece of land that remained separate, and that land just happened to belong to his former elder brother, Redman.
At this moment, Redman was feeling particularly frustrated and distressed. His current situation was far more challenging than that of Mongolia! After all, Mongolia could still maneuver through certain matters with some flexibility, but for him—oh dear—it was truly hard to put into words! Redman even found himself contemplating the idea of simply lying down and giving up.
Although Redman was already thirty-six years old, in the realm of Lords, especially among those with Transcendent strength, he could still be considered young and promising. Until now, he had harbored ambitious dreams of expanding his territory further during his lifetime. Unfortunately, reality had proven otherwise; faced with such a difficult situation, he could only sigh helplessly: why not just lie down and accept it?
However, Redman was not without merit. His former subordinate had unexpectedly transformed into the Governor of Blink County! As his subordinate's status rose steadily, Redman's own position naturally improved as well. Furthermore, his family had even sent two Transcendent experts to serve as his entourage, which undoubtedly made him appear more formidable in front of others.
It is important to note that Redman would never entertain thoughts of betraying John. If he were to provoke John's anger and receive an order prohibiting trade caravans from entering his territory, within just three months, Redman would revert to living like a wild man. Therefore, no matter what happened, he dared not easily provoke this person who held his fate in their hands.
To demonstrate his unwavering loyalty to John, Redman unhesitatingly sent all five of his sons to John's side. One son was kept as a hostage to ensure that Redman would not make any moves; while another son represented Redman's deep envy for the abundant resources that John possessed.
After all, nurturing these five sons on his own would be limited by various conditions; even if some of them had decent talent, it was likely that only two at most would achieve the Transcendent Realm.
If he sent his children to John’s side, as long as they maintained a positive mindset and worked diligently towards their goals, becoming Transcendent experts would almost be a certainty. Perhaps in the future, one of his children might even have the fortune to step into the Epic realm!
In recent days, thanks to the precious potions sent by John, Redman's cultivation had seen significant improvement and progress.
As for John, he had been experiencing a string of joyous events lately. The first major piece of good news was undoubtedly his smooth official career and territorial expansion. Now he commanded nine prosperous cities and twenty-seven bustling towns under his banner, along with countless villages scattered across this vast land.
