Chapter 113: The Baron is Dead! Territory Obtained—Snezhnaya!
.....
Tramp, tramp, tramp—!
A massive crowd surged out of the Lord's Mansion. In the center, guards were escorting a Baron who had been stripped down to his undergarments. Seito scanned the Baron's information.
[Baron William]
Level: 53
Only level 53? Seito shot him a look of pure disdain. Without his guards, this William was absolutely nothing.
"Leader! We have captured him. Please give the order!" The guard captain knelt on one knee, awaiting his command.
"Kill him. All these corrupt nobles deserve death!" Seito said without a hint of mercy.
Upon hearing this, Kanade Tachibana stepped forward and decapitated the Baron in a single swift motion! No level-up notification appeared—one could only imagine how ridiculous the experience requirements were at this stage. But Seito didn't care.
[You have seized the territory.]
[Please name your territory.]
"Snezhnaya!" Seito declared without hesitation.
[Ding! Territory panel has been refreshed.]
[Teleportation function enabled]
[Coordinates: Floor 30, Far North.JPG]
[Congratulations on becoming a Lord. War Mode initiated.]
[Success in unifying Floor 30 will grant you full administrative authority over the entire floor.]
[You now have the authority to issue quests.]
[Special identity detected: Teleportation for the Snow Maiden Clan is now open!]
Ignoring the flurry of system prompts for a moment, Seito turned to the guard captain. "Comrade, take everyone to rest for now."
"Yes! Leader!" The captain led the guards and commoners away.
Seito and his group entered the Lord's Mansion. The interior was lavish, featuring a long table that looked perfect for strategy meetings. Seito took the seat at the head of the table and reviewed the system logs.
"So many functions?!" He was pleasantly surprised. These features were incredibly useful. Not only did he have the right to wage war, but if he unified Floor 30, he would essentially own the floor. Most importantly, he could now issue war quests to players. This was a game-changer!
He opened the territory panel:
[Territory: Snezhnaya]
[Lord: Sei]
[Management Personnel: None]
[Population: 200,000+]
[Treasury: Various materials]
[Finances: 16 million Gold]
[Military: 3,000 Regular Guards]
Seito couldn't help but laugh out loud. After a moment, he looked at the gathered Executives. "From now on, this is our Guild Headquarters." While the Elf Forest was nice, owning an actual fiefdom suited them much better. No one objected.
Seito turned to Haruno Yukinoshita.
"SunnyCat, I'll transfer the Floor 12 guild base to your mother. Remind her to accept the transfer." There was no point in hoarding redundant land; it was better off with Mrs. Yukinoshita.
"Got it~" Haruno gave a playful wink.
Seito then officially relocated the guild headquarters.
[Guild Headquarters relocated.]
[Current location: Floor 30, Far North.JPG]
He checked the guild panel:
[Guild: The Fatui]
[Leader: Sei]
[High-level Members: Sora, Shiro, Maple, Sally, Empress(Amou), Kanade, SunnyCat, Ako]
[Regular Members: 100,000+]
[Wealth: 15 million+]
The guild's development was stable. As players got richer, the treasury would only grow. He looked at Maple and the others. "If you guys want to log off, go ahead."
"Okay~ See you tomorrow~" Maple waved, and the girls logged out one by one.
Haruno stood up. "Seito-chan, I'm going to visit my mother's place."
"Understood."
Now only four remained: Seito, Sora, Shiro, and Ako. Seito opened the map to study the surrounding area. The Far North was desolate, with no major empires—only scattered minor fiefdoms. Naturally, those lands belonged to their respective lords. His next move? A "small" goal: Unify the Far North!
"Sora, Shiro, Ako—you three go ahead and handle your own business for now," Seito said, waving them off. He had work to do. They teleported away, leaving Seito alone in the mansion.
He still had Dr. Kant's quest to turn in, but he wasn't in a rush. He headed to the treasury first.
"What is all this junk?" He looked at the vault with disgust; there wasn't even a single purple-grade material.
Leaving the mansion, he spotted the guard captain near the gate. "Captain Green, assemble everyone for me."
"Yes! Leader!" Green slammed his fist against his heart.
A few minutes later, Seito stood on the podium in the plaza, looking out at the sea of people. He cleared his throat and shouted:
"Comrades! This is only the beginning! The Empire is rotten! The nobility feasts on our flesh! Rest well today. Anyone who wishes to enlist, report to General Green for registration!"
"Tomorrow, I will leave a thousand soldiers to train the recruits. The rest will follow me to sweep through every surrounding fiefdom!"
Hearing himself called "General," Green's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. General! It sounded a thousand times better than "Guard Captain." He immediately decided he needed better gear and skills to live up to the title.
The commoners nodded fervently. The young men were especially eager; this was their chance to change their lives. As soon as Seito stepped down, they swarmed toward Green.
Meanwhile, Seito teleported back to Floor 25!
