Chapter 340 Heading to Canglan City
Su Wan was puzzled. She couldn’t understand whether Eve had grown this strong or if the shield was just weak.
Su Wan directed her mana at the statue. The cracks on the shield began to heal. The ice shield was good as new again.
Su Wan was satisfied with this. If she had enough mana, she could keep the shield intact for a long time.
With Xu Yuan around, she didn’t have to worry about mana running out.
Su Wan gathered some troops and instructed them to attack the shield from inside the territory. She was delighted to find out that the shield stopped attacks from outside but didn’t hinder the attacks launched from inside the territory.
It even added ice damage to the arrows as they shot through the air!
Su Wan was happy. This treasure was indeed extraordinary.
…
After spending two days in Su Wan’s territory, Tristana decided to return to the Ice Empire.
She had achieved what she came here for, so she didn’t see any further need to stay.
Next, she needed to figure out the most efficient use for the Scarlet Flame Demon Spider Silk to establish her authority.
Su Wan smiled and nodded. She needed to go to Canglan City anyway, so she decided to come along to Canglan City.
Tristana was surprised and delighted when she heard that. “Lord Su Wan, you have no idea how happy that makes me.”
The journey to Canglan City was long and arduous. It would definitely be nice to have someone to talk to. Tristana had Claude and her soldiers with her, but they had nothing new to talk about. The journey occasionally got really boring.
Su Wan gathered her troops.
Tristana liked Su Wan’s company. She could also show her the manor in Canglan City that Su Wan could use to set up her Chamber of Commerce.
Su Wan only took aerial troops with her. She hoped the dwarves would develop means of transportation soon. It was simply too tedious to travel by land through the swamps.
This time, Eve and Eliza stayed back in the territory.
Xu Yuan couldn’t care less about the Chamber of Commerce or Canglan City, but he wanted to travel. If the territory ran into some problem, they could solve it themselves or wait for him to arrive. Besides, the Light-Types wouldn’t cause trouble for a while because of the last incident.
Half an hour later, Tristana’s caravan arrived in the square. Everyone loaded it up with food and water.
“Uncle Claude, can the Dark Territory use flying troops for the journey?” asked Tristana.
The laws of the Overlord Plane were strange. Flying couldn’t be used as a means of transportation for long journeys. Many had tried and failed to make aerial transportation in the plane. The flying troops used as transportation either lost their minds or were struck down.
“I don’t think so… Dark Territories can only use their power till a certain range. Their power loses effect when the troops leave that area.”
Tristana nodded.
Su Wan was unaware of Tristana’s doubts. She loaded the wares on the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint.
Su Wan offered for Tristana’s goods to be loaded up on the dragons too.
Tristana didn’t refuse. She ordered her soldiers to do it.
With the supplies hanging from either side, the dragons crouched low so that Tristana’s soldiers could also get on them.
Tristana and Claude were arranged to ride on the back of the White Dragon Saint.
After everything was settled, Su Wan instructed the dragons to rise. Black wings unfurled from Su Wan’s back, and she flew alongside them.
Under the watchful eyes of the residents below, the troops flew away.
Tristana found that the horses that Tristana had brought along were still tied up in the corner of the square.
She looked at Su Wan. “Lord Su Wan, our camels and horses are still in the territory.”
“I know.” Su Wan looked down.
“But… how will we journey without horses and camels?”
“Lord Su Wan, although the flying troops can send us off halfway, it’s still a long distance to walk to Canglan City,” said Claude. He thought the flying troops were going to take them halfway, and then they would have to journey ahead.
“Halfway? Who said we’d be stopping halfway?”
Both Tristana and Claude were confused. Was Su Wan planning to fly all the way?
“Lord Su Wan, don’t tell me you want to ride the flying troops all the way to Canglan City?” Tristana was shocked.
Su Wan nodded,
“But… I thought that flying troops couldn’t be used away from the territory,” said Tristana.
“I know,” said Su Wan. “But we don’t have to worry about that.”
Tristana was stunned. Xu Yuan flew silently alongside Su Wan.
Claude was even more shocked. So many Lords had spent their time trying to bypass the rule. They had tried their best and lost many troops along the way, but Su Wan didn’t have to worry about it. Many people only dreamed about possessing power like this.
Claude’s respect for the territory increased. He had seen so many shocking things in the territory. Maybe some people were gifted from birth!
‘I must tell Lady Tristana to maintain a good relationship with Lord Su Wan. We mustn’t miss an opportunity to be friends with a territory with so much potential.’
