Free Web NovelChapter 482: Chapter 350: Legendary Guard, The Rise of Five Kings (Part 3)
In the vast Sel Wilderness, apart from the renowned Map Kings and the frontier outpost locations of the Federation, countless native clans and monster settlements of various sizes are scattered like stars.
The Northwest Region where the Molten Iron Tribe is located is no exception.
With the tribe’s steady expansion, it acts like a great magnet, constantly attracting and drawing in those scattered clans.
This mode of expansion, although not as directly rewarding in territory as defeating a Map King, allows the inclusion of diverse clans, steadily increasing the tribe’s population base, which is beneficial for future development.
Of course, the process of expansion is not always peaceful.
Occasionally, they encounter some stubborn clans.
The Molten Iron Tribe is never shy to show its menacing fangs to these tough ones, crushing them directly.
Wherever they go, the target is either completely smashed due to meaningless resistance, its members reduced to slavery, or they abandon their home in fear, driven away to distant lands.
In contrast to most Map Kings who avoid provoking the Federation and steer clear of Federation outposts.
The Molten Iron Tribe is exceptionally fierce, continuously attacking the Federation’s outposts in the Northwest Wilderness Region.
In one stormy day after another, one Federation border post, one resource collection point, and even some discreet bases... are wiped off the map entirely.
In the process.
The prestige of the Molten Iron Tribe in the Northwest Region becomes increasingly eminent, its name carrying a sense of blood and fire, seemingly unstoppable, and is on the verge of becoming the uncrowned king of the region.
Compared to the fame of other Map Kings in the Northwest Region.
The reputation of the Molten Iron Tribe has clearly risen at least a notch above.
Moreover, not just in the Northwest Region, the fame of the Molten Iron Tribe is steadily crossing regional boundaries, spreading throughout the Sel Wilderness, beginning to attract the attention of more powerful entities from distant areas.
Meanwhile.
In other vast regions of the wilderness, other powerful Map Kings are also gaining fame rapidly, their reputation similarly transcending their region, and starting to spread throughout the entire wilderness.
Central Region.
The Mad King, the infamous Red Dragon Gorsas, reaches its peak notoriety, witnessed single-handedly slaughtering through a Map King’s vast army, dragging the unfortunate king from his lair and torturing him to death, eventually turning his vast territory into scorched land, a horrifying atrocity.
Southwest Region.
The King of Giants rises swiftly, an ancient Giant who has lurked for an unknown time, leading the Giant Demon Tribe that has lurked in remote wastelands for ages, expanding rapidly and crushing all other Map Kings in the region under its onslaught.
Northeast Region.
The Mountain King descends, a Mountain Giant King who traversed from the distant Celestia Continent, with a physique comparable to a small mountain, gathering an equally enormous horde of Mountain Giants, relentlessly trampling and crushing all enemies or fortresses attempting to block their path, with unrivaled prestige in the Northeast Region.
Southeast Region.
The Fungus King spreads, an unprecedented mutated mushroom-like Demon Lord from the dark underground world, now leading a seemingly endless, diverse array of fungal monsters to the surface.
Wherever it goes, thick fungus blankets rapidly assimilate and replace the original landscape, spreading like a plague.
It is foreseeable.
If no earth-shattering accident occurs in the meantime, the five distinctly styled yet equally powerful Map Kings are likely to gradually sweep away all competitors in their respective regions, achieving practical unification, and ascend to higher-level Regional Kings.
Even now, although none have truly finished the Regional King contest.
Some wise creatures with keen ears and highly informed have named this current drastic landscape shift happening in the wilderness, seeing it as a significant turning point in the power framework of Sel Wilderness.
—Rise of the Five Kings!
Such news, through various channels, naturally reached the ears of Galos.
He was happy for a few minutes, then paid little attention.
He briefly looked into the general intelligence about the other four kings, then set them aside and continued focusing on his own training and the development of the tribe.
He was very clear-headed, the current situation is far from settled, and no Regional King has truly emerged.
Deep within the wilderness, perhaps some older, more powerful entities still lurk and endure, yet to reveal their true claws.
The so-called Five Kings, who are now in the limelight, likely have some exaggeration.
Just like the Python King in the Northwest Region, it was soon replaced by the suddenly emerged Firebird Leader, eventually becoming nothing more than a backdrop and stepping stone for others’ rise.
The Five Kings currently gaining fame are surely stronger than ordinary Map Kings, but the final outcome remains uncertain.
The situation in the wilderness changes rapidly.
Yet no matter how the external storm rages, no matter how intense the rumors are, the Red Iron Dragon remains undisturbed, continuing with his day-to-day training, enhancing his power bit by bit.
He knows very well, in this game, only actual and solid strength is the most genuine and reliable asset.
Everything else, fame, rumors, power range... without strong support, may all be like bubbles in the wind, rootless duckweed, easily shattered.
Suddenly, the Red Iron Dragon paused slightly.
Iron Dragon Solrog’s voice simultaneously echoed in his heart.
He said: "The scouts have brought information, the Deer King and Eye Demon have started a full-scale war against each other, yet to decide the victor, this is a good opportunity."
As long as both are captured in one net, Galos, as the King of Molten Iron, can truly be called the Regional King of the Northwest.
