The Lord's Empire (Part 1)

Chapter 111-115

Chapter 111: Void Energy

After discussing it for a few hours, they had mostly planned out the path forwards for the Great Qin Village. Moreover, they would continue this discussion in the future, as it was not complete yet.

Following this, Zhao Fu started preparing to open up routes to the outside world. Because Intermediate teleportation channels could only take 50 people at once, Zhao Fu decided to bring 15 Infantrymen, 15 Shieldbearers, and 10 Archers. Because horses also counted as people, Zhao Fu did not bring any Cavalry.

For the remaining 10 people, Zhao Fu decided to bring five Scholars, who were responsible for quickly building teleportation channels, as well as Zhao Fu himself, Bai Qi, Daisy, Doke, and Gatly, an Orc who Zhao Fu had decided to nurture. He was the one who Zhao Fu had given the Gold grade Shield to.

After these preparations were completed, Zhao Fu used the teleportation channel like how he had when he was finding the Orc City before, and he used it to travel northwards. This was because Little Valley, which was closest to the Great Qin Village, was in that direction.

The scenery in front of them blurred as they appeared about 5,000 kilometers away. Just like before, they found a hidden region to construct a teleportation channel before repeating this another 20 or so times.

"System announcement! The region ahead is a boundary and possesses Void Energy, and it cannot be passed through using a teleportation channel."

The space between regions was a 5,000-kilometer wide Void Zone, and teleportation channels could not be used within Void Zones. All spatial skills were restricted as well, so one would have to physically travel between regions.

Because Zhao Fu had been preparing for this for a long time, he had asked Holy Light City's Internal Affairs Minister, Qin Nan, about this already.

This was why most factions had to remain within their own respective regions. If there weren't any Void Zones, anyone could use a Basic teleportation channel to travel 100 or so times to reach the outside world. Moreover, there were many ferocious wild beasts at boundaries, and if one was unlucky, one could encounter magic beasts that were Stage 2 or above.

"Be careful, everyone," Zhao Fu reminded them as he briefly explained to everyone the dangers here.

After listening to this, everyone understood the dangers in front of them, and their expressions became serious. No one dared to be careless, as this concerned their lives.

Following this, after everyone made sufficient preparations, they advanced to the Forest of Horrors' boundary. As they walked, they saw that there were less and less of those large, strangely-shaped trees, and the area became more and more empty.

Everyone advanced carefully, and in the beginning, they did not encounter anything. At noon, Zhao Fu told his party to stop and to prepare for lunch.

If they had to walk the all 5,000 kilometers like this, they definitely wouldn't make it by the end of the month. Moreover, even if Zhao Fu and his party walked for a month and reached the Little Valley, they wouldn't be able to return using a teleportation channel. They would have to walk there and then walk back.

Zhao Fu had long since considered this problem, and he had never even thought about walking there. That would take too much time and effort, and taking a long walk would be the only thing they would accomplish.

There was an item that would solve this problem. At the boundary of regions, there was a type of beast called the Void Beast. By killing Void Beasts, one could obtain an item called a Void Crystal, which could allow one to use teleportation channels to cross boundaries. This was what Zhao Fu had envisioned.
