"Although the extreme north isn't as rich in resources and the environment isn't as good as this place, it's vast and there aren't many powerful beings there. It's easier to conquer."
Yang Kangning's words caused Xiao Chen to feel a little emotional.
Thinking back to that day when he provoked Luoshen and the others for no reason, Xiao Chen asked again, "Then how did the people of the extreme north react?"
"What else could they react? It's not like this hasn't happened before. Once the ancient race decides to conquer, they naturally won't give up easily. Hence, some of the places near the ancient race can only be given to them for free. "Yang Kangning said slowly.
"Are they still fighting?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes. But it's basically a one-sided fight. The extreme north doesn't really dare to clash with the ancient race head on. "Yang Kangning said.
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't ask any further. Actually, the Chaos Lands had a special Heavenly Dao that made it hard for immortal kings and above to enter.
One had to pay a price to force their way in. The stronger one was, the higher the price one had to pay.
Hence, almost all the powerful beings here were powerful immortal kings.
Otherwise, be it from Dingnan City, the ancient race, or the foreign races, any single super powerful being would be able to sweep through the Chaos Lands.
It was precisely because of this that the extreme north had a place for these people to live.
But even though the price for a powerful being to enter was relatively high, the people of the extreme north didn't have any super powerful being backing them up. The strongest was only an immortal king. Hence, they didn't dare to clash with the ancient race head on.
If they really angered the ancient race and allowed a super powerful being to enter, it wasn't impossible for them to wipe them all out.
"Those people are said to have more freedom in the extreme north. But in reality, their freedom is extremely limited. In fact, if they were to face any trouble, they would have no choice but to give up." Xiao Chen shook his head.
Although he didn't know what the situation was like in the other regions... Based on the current situation in the Chaos Lands, without the support of the outside world, it wasn't a good choice to stay here.
Just like those people of the extreme north. Even if they banded together, they could only give up in the face of the ancient race's attacks.
"How much has the ancient race occupied in the extreme north?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"It's close to the size of three territories!" Yang Kangning quickly replied.
"Looks like they're planning to reclaim the four territories they lost?" Xiao Chen said.
Yang Kangning shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. After all, the extreme north can't be compared to this place. This place has lost four regions of territory. In the extreme north, they have to occupy at least five or six regions to make up for the loss. It's just that this time, the ancient race has asked for ten territories in one go. Therefore, the extreme north is very angry and did not agree. They are also fighting and retreating."
"What? Had those fellows from the ancient race gone mad? They want ten territories in one go, doesn't that mean they want to force the people of the extreme north to the uninhabited area? "Xiao Chen was surprised.
Although the Extreme North was very big, there were some places that weren't very suitable for living. Moreover, there weren't any resources, it was just a wasteland.
If they really gave the ancient race so many territories, the lives of the people of the extreme north would be even more difficult.
"It's precisely because of the ancient race's greedy demand that the extreme north is entangled with them at all times even though they aren't willing to go to war. Otherwise, if they were willing to give up, they would have already raised the price after the ancient race made their request. They wouldn't have fought for so long," Yang Kangning said.
"Moreover, looking at the intentions of those fellows from the extreme north, they probably want to see if the ancient race will pay a huge price to send experts over. If the ancient race doesn't send experts, I'm afraid that the extreme north won't do as the ancient race wishes and give up so many territories in one go."
Xiao Chen nodded his head and his eyes flashed. "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be willing to give up so many territories. However, since the ancient race is making such a move, are there any movements from Dingnan City and the foreign races?"
One had to know that if the ancient race were to really occupy so many territories, it would be far more than what they would gain from losing the four territories.
Dingnan City and the foreign races probably wouldn't let the ancient race have their way, right?
If the ancient race were to really occupy so many territories, then the ancient race's territory in the Chaotic Lands would surpass theirs.
"Dingnan City hasn't made any movements for the time being. As for the foreign races, to be honest, they don't really care. Most of the foreign races' territory is in the western and southern parts of the Chaotic Lands, so they don't have the energy to expand further north. Thus, we have always been the ones fighting with the ancient race here!" Yang Kangning briefly explained the situation.
"Even so, Dingnan City shouldn't be completely unresponsive." Xiao Chen was still somewhat puzzled.
"Could it be that after occupying the four territories of the ancient race, Dingnan City doesn't want to continue fighting with the ancient race?" He began to speculate.
After all, the four territories of the ancient race that they had occupied were all rich in resources.
Moreover, after continuously occupying four territories, the ancient race was going crazy. Otherwise, they wouldn't have continued to expand towards the extreme north. Perhaps Dingnan City really didn't want to fight too fiercely at this time and completely break out into a war.
However, because of this, those fellows in the extreme north suffered a calamity.
"If that's the case, it can be said that it's because of me that the people of the extreme north have to suffer such a thing." As he thought about this, Xiao Chen felt inexplicably awkward.
If he hadn't continuously occupied four territories of the ancient race, the ancient race probably wouldn't have made a move against the extreme north right now.
As he thought about this, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before asking Yang Kangning, "Since the ancient race has occupied the extreme north, have most of their experts been mobilized there?"
"More or less. Apart from the ones guarding the territories, a large portion of the peak immortal kings have gone to the extreme north." Yang Kangning nodded.
"Does that mean that the forces guarding their territories aren't that strong?" A strange glint appeared in Xiao Chen's eyes.
"Sir Manor Head, you can't be thinking of attacking the ancient race's territories at this time, right?" Yang Kangning inexplicably sensed the meaning behind Qin Wentian's words.
"I feel that this is a very good opportunity. The majority of their experts have gone to the extreme north, and the forces guarding here definitely don't have enough strength to support them. If we don't go now, when should we?" Xiao Chen nodded, not hiding his thoughts.
"That absolutely cannot be done. Although the majority of their forces have been mobilized to the extreme north, how could the ancient race not have thought of this? They are also worried that Dingnan City will take advantage of this opportunity to attack their rear. Hence, they specially dispatched some experts to guard their rear, especially the territories near us. There are at least two immortal kings guarding them, just in case." Yang Kangning repeatedly tried to dissuade Qin Wentian.
