Especially when faced with Windrunner, Wenresa's bow and arrow, it gave him the illusion of confronting death.

He naturally wouldn't engage in a death battle here with Windrunner, Wenresa and her group; whether he could win or not is another matter, but no matter the outcome, initiating a battle would be a costly move for Boswell.

Windrunner, Wenresa also understood Boswell's mindset, which is why she adopted such a tough stance.

Sometimes being too generous and weak is actually a flaw.

After a brief contemplation, Boswell decisively chose to yield.

This area is truly unstable, not to mention being falsely accused by the Calamity Raven Church's Saintess, being forced to compensate them with supplies.

Now, casually coming to a settlement to inquire about the situation, and then encountering a tough opponent.

Even though the Lentates Giant City Thistle Trade Company Branch urgently sent reinforcements via a goblin airship, it made Boswell feel inadequate to traverse this region.

All he wants now is to quickly pacify things and leave this terrifying settlement, and this terrifying Elf Race woman!

"My lord, I apologize for our rudeness."

"Here are two thousand Mainland Continent Universal Dinar, hoping to make up for our mistake."

Boswell took out a money bag, apologizing with humility.

Compared to armed conflict, two thousand Dinar is nothing; he now just wants to settle the issue with Windrunner, Wenresa quickly and get far away from this damned settlement to seek the true culprit who robbed the supply boxes.

But Windrunner, Wenresa shook her head, and the hand holding the arrow tensed even more.

This put Boswell in a bind; two thousand Mainland Continent Universal Dinar was already the stingy limit he could accept.

"My lord, how many Mainland Continent Universal Dinar do you find appropriate?"

He felt a faint headache. Since when did their goblin traveling merchants become so unrespectable!

Boswell had already thought it through in his mind; if the other party asked for a huge amount, he would fight them to the bitter end!

Then Windrunner, Wenresa softly spoke up.

"Five thousand!"

Upon hearing this number, Boswell felt a slight pang in his heart.

He glanced around, observing the warriors that looked like wolves and tigers and the numerous dogmen, gritted his teeth, nodded, and after rummaging around for a while, took out five thousand Mainland Continent Universal Dinar, placing them on the ground.

Only then did Windrunner, Wenresa relax the bowstring and retract the arrow, nodding with satisfaction.

"Very good, you can go now."

"Don't let me see you again!"

Windrunner, Wenresa waved her hand disdainfully and said with great authority.

Boswell indeed yielded to this approach, not daring to hesitate further, hurriedly calling his men to board the airships.

He himself entered a cabin of one of the airships, as six goblin airships took off again, flying towards the eastern direction of the territory.

"Everyone, disperse now, and give the money bag to Marie."

"Those damned goblins shouldn't come back."

"In fact, goblin merchants are not short of money; five thousand Dinar is enough to give them a painful reminder, yet not provoke retaliation."

Windrunner, Wenresa calmly explained, having dealt with goblins for millennia, knowing well the temperament of these cunning beings, thus dealing with Boswell appropriately.

Everyone admired Windrunner, Wenresa greatly, and dispersed following her orders, taking their positions.

Windrunner, Wenresa also rode back to the Burrow Frontline on her Grassland Horse.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, Zong Shen and his team finally returned to the territory.

Marie handed the money bag to him, telling Zong Shen about Boswell's earlier visit.

Upon hearing this, Zong Shen sighed in relief; these goblins really hadn't given up on pursuing him, only lying in wait for reinforcements during these days; now that reinforcements have arrived, they began searching for him in this area.

After hearing about Windrunner, Wenresa's quick thinking from Marie, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"You and Windrunner, Wenresa did well!"

"Continue to be cautious of that group of goblins, prevent them from returning."

Zong Shen instructed briefly; now with Marie as the logistics hero, he only needs to issue orders for most tasks.

Thanks to Marie's procurement, the necessary resources for the dining halls and bathhouses have been gathered; with a little over two days left until the Burrow Challenge ends, Zong Shen doesn't plan to engage in massive construction now.

After all, once the Burrow Challenge is over, all buildings will need to be relocated outside the inner city for a new plan; constructing anything now would be a waste of time.

Better to endure and wait until after the challenge ends to properly unify building relocation and zone division, then construct new buildings based on the divided zones.

Besides, nothing particularly special has happened in the camp recently.

All farmers have started training at the Tier One Training Ground under San Pang's guidance.

Zong Shen's farmer training plan quickly responded and was implemented.

Dogman Chief Dutra returned from the confrontation scene with over two hundred dogmen and immediately started gathering around the territory.

Given their strength, they can fend off burrow monsters without special soldier protection, though occasional injuries occur, all within acceptable limits.

This group of dogmen has been rather reassuring for Zong Shen, whether working or supporting territory defense, they cooperate tremendously.

After Zong Shen and Marie discussed a bit about the territory situation, he entered the Lord's Small Tower, giving the accompanying mages and Wolf Rider Squad One three hours of rest.

Let Favide lead the newly joined Fire Mages Doris and Pax around the territory.

Neither Doris nor Pax show much interest in the territory's development; they are more fascinated by the Magic Hall, eager to enter for meditation and study.

Luna, without Zong Shen's instructions, had already started wandering around the territory with the three newly joined female hunters.

After introducing the territory's general situation, she led them out of the territory, preparing to head to the Burrow Frontline to visit Windrunner, Wenresa.

Windrunner, Wenresa, had considerable fame among the Elf Race a thousand years ago.

Everything in the territory remains orderly, progressing along Zong Shen's expected path.

Zong Shen's plans for after the Burrow Challenge include opportunities like Wool-Gathering from Odu Village and, when capturing the Demon's Soul, obtaining maximum benefits like resources, population, and equipment.

There's also planning in Dinan Village and a trip to Boss Bang, while Sitanos Village's weekly farmer recruitment is coming up—tasks Zong Shen needs to arrange post-challenge.

To quickly acquire more population, Zong Shen plans to visit Boss Bang; he has many special items related to Baron Bezos, and after dealing with these matters, he can continue exploring.

Zong Shen entered the Lord's Small Tower, sitting beside the territory sandbox, pondering future development plans.

Indeed, besides focusing on development, he needs to anticipate new challenges from the Lord System post-Burrow Challenge.

Zong Shen has seen through the Lord System's intentions; all challenges aim to accelerate the lord's growth, and if lords face them sincerely, they can gain matching rewards.

Therefore, Zong Shen does not really resist or worry about the challenge.

What interests him is the type of challenge; he's uncertain about the Lord System's next challenge.

Will it be a kill challenge like Beast Boiling and Burrow Challenge?

Or a different survival challenge?
