It was normal for these Deep Sea murlocs to be respectful toward their commander in the White Sand Ruins.

One was because the ruins had forcibly changed their will.

Thus, no matter what original thought they had, as soon as a player took control of the Ocean Commander, they would naturally be loyal without a doubt because of the ruins’ rules.

Secondly, in less than three months, Su Mo had completely destroyed the divine power left by the God of the Ocean.

There was no dissatisfaction under such tremendous power.

Not just the ordinary murloc tribes, but even those who could perform murloc rituals to communicate with the God of Ocean could only kneel and beg for mercy at his feet.

However, in the reality of the outside world.

There were no longer constraints on the ruins, and it would be difficult to conquer the murlocs, whose civilization had grown significantly.

‘The soldiers who carry my message should have returned to the territory by now.

‘The loyalty of these murlocs hasn’t changed, which meant that it would not be realistic to rely on the title of Ocean Commander to subdue them…’

Su Mo frowned as he tapped on the car’s armrest with one finger.

As expected, it would not be possible to rely on his face again.

After all, the Ocean Commander was a proxy of their powerful murloc ancestor, The Father of Technology.

It had nothing to do with the human god, Almighty Su, who was traveling the wastelands on his two feet.

Due to their short time together, Su Mo highly suspected that the murlocs had long forgotten his appearance.

‘But it’s good that the murlocs came to the territory at the current stage.

‘They have fifteen low-level production buildings and three intermediate-level production buildings, plus the resources and technical heritage they have accumulated.

‘It would be a good opportunity for the long-term development of Hope Village if we can subdue them or even maintain a friendly alliance.’

It was exactly as described in the territory properties panel.

Now that the heavy snow had closed the vicinity, the sudden arrival of the murloc tribe would positively affect the domestic demand of the territory.

Both parties would require different things due to the differences between the races.

Therefore, there would be no need to worry that the delicate balance would be broken soon.

In the long run, there was even less to worry about.

Having conquered the murlocs once, Su Mo was confident that he could do it again as he also had the authority of the ocean as a trump card.

‘So, what I have to do now is find out the details of the group of mysterious people and find Marshal Wang, Guan Shan, and the others.

‘When the cooling disaster is over, I’ll recruit those who are unwilling to continue staying in the deep mountains.

‘Also, if I have the chance, I could further explore the place those mysterious people came from and the ruins that can travel to the future…’

Too many things to do and too little time.

After sorting them out one by one, Su Mo wished that he could learn the skills of cloning himself so that he could have three or five of himself to deal with these troubles separately.

Unfortunately, as more and more troubles arose, the personal time he had left was pitifully small.

All major events still required Su Mo to function before the territory completely became independent and developed a healthy structure with a full reserve of talents and resources.

…

The team had lunch and rested until four in the afternoon.

Everyone was refreshed when they departed once again.

This time, everyone’s footsteps were much lighter, and there were chatter and laughter along the way. The team was no longer as exhausted as before.

Some people even stated they would have to find a good place to rest in the Origin Territory.

Su Mo did not express any objections in this regard.

Instead, he responded with a smile. With the indirect affirmation, the soldiers clenched their firsts, roared, and subconsciously speeded up, hoping to reach the Origin Territory by night.

The team finally reached the last mountain at seven in the evening.

Standing on the last towering mountain, they could already see the fire sparks below.

Immediately, Feng Tianmin stood ahead of the team and quickly divided the teams as Su Mo had previously arranged.

One team would stay on the mountain top as their backup team, ready to support at any given time if a battle broke out.

While the other team started to disguise themselves by putting on refugees they had prepared in the territory, Su Mo and the team would pretend to be a small group of refugees.

“They would never wait until the end of winter and the expansion of the mountain before they develop outside into the plains if they had wild ambitions.

“However, from my observations, this Origin Territory seems a bit unusual. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but we should still be more cautious.”

Su Mo said as he stood beside the cliff while looking at the territory below with his binoculars.

“Indeed. It seems…too peaceful!”

Guan Yuan, who stood beside Su Mo, also expressed her doubts as she observed Origin Territory below them.

Although they could not identify the detailed structure of the buildings within the Origin Territory, they could get a clear picture of the territory’s terrain.

It was pretty much the same as what Marshal Wang had described.
