"Buzz!"

As the scroll was unfurled, two dark green chains suddenly extended out.

This technique from the ancient sorcery is now mastered by some Transcendents.

The Soul Contract began to activate.

At the end of the chains, in that dark void, Fang Yu seemingly saw hands tightly gripping one end of the chain, behind these hands, there were no owners, only some kind of will manifesting from the underworld.

When the chain extended, neither Fang Yu nor Lu Kun hesitated, they reached out, each grabbing a chain, silently reciting in their minds the conditions and content of the Soul Contract.

Soon, green flames began to rise on the contract, and with the eerie laughter echoing, the chains silently wrapped around their arms, gradually disappearing.

At the same time, all anomalies quietly vanished before their eyes.

On the formerly blank Soul Contract, lines of small print appeared.

The content of their agreement was clearly inscribed on it.

As long as they do not adhere to the content of the contract, the backlash will follow.

However, the nature of the backlash also depends on the Level of the Soul Contract.

The Top Level contract's backlash could be terrifying.

Death is just the basic consequence.

Even a strong commander cannot resist the backlash from a Top Level contract.

But Lu Kun and Fang Yu only had commercial dealings, and the signed contract was basic, not even considered an initial contract.

The backlash results in no more than a month of fatigue as punishment.

Even high-level commanders could easily endure the initial contract's backlash effects.

Of course... Fang Yu does not intend to break the contract.

The spirit of the contract is a crucial factor for networking.

Integrity is the key to attracting future investments from others.

Without the spirit of the contract, even Fang Yu would despise himself.

...

After signing the Soul Contract, both parties unexpectedly let out breaths of relief at the same time.

Since the Soul Contract was signed, next, Lu Kun will lead 50 ships to the Ji Clan Trading Association's port for refurbishment and enchantment enhancement.

Fang Yu entrusted all this work to Li Chongjing.

Since Li Chongjing found these people for him, the management of the army could be left to Li Chongjing.

Of course...

Fang Yu still made many formal remarks in front of the soldiers, thus confirming his status as Commander in front of everyone.

The process went smoother than Fang Yu imagined, as these veteran soldiers had heard of Fang Yu's deeds in the Lvchun Island battle.

The veterans were wholeheartedly convinced by Fang Yu's leadership, saving Fang Yu from having to establish authority through ineffective means.

...

The army's modification will take a total of two days, coinciding with the intermediate enchantment on his Salted Fish ending after two days.

Fang Yu nodded, preparing to set sail again once everything was ready to execute the mission.

However, this time he cannot choose tasks solely based on experience points.

He needs a comprehensive view of the tasks.

Having boasted before Lu Kun that he would capture the military factory within three months, he cannot delay.

If he fails to capture the military factory, he will have to refund 50% of the investment to Lu Kun.

This is no small amount, and mishandling it could make him a troubled debtor.

Therefore, in these two days, Fang Yu did not idle, but ran around the military, ports, and forums.

Every day, apart from basic high-level shooting training, he devoted most of his energy to information collection and strategic thinking about the situation.

He had, without intention, posted a wartime intelligence thread that inadvertently generated much feedback.

Whenever captains shared the latest battle Results in this thread, Fang Yu would record and analyze each one.

From Fang Yu's records and organization, he summarized the current battle situation:

Excluding numerous small Resource Islands like Lvchun Island, which have little strategic significance, the main battle for the Sea Ore Island focuses on two types of Mineral Islands.

The first type is the Archipelago.

This type of Mineral Island not only has abundant resources but also holds significant strategic importance:

The archipelago's terrain is easy to defend and hard to attack, making it ideal for setting up a main military camp.

Whoever holds an archipelago-level Sea Ore Island can easily deploy defense forces, station giant cannons on various islands, creating a defensive wall.

Moreover, it serves as a supply transit station, providing repair for battle damage, resource replenishment, and strategic transfer for allied forces.

Therefore, every Sea Ore Archipelago is a must-contend location for both sides, the more archipelagos one holds, the greater the advantage!

According to Fang Yu's collected information:

There are five known Sea Ore Island archipelagos in the Southern Island Sea Region.

Three belong to the Duorong Federation military, two are controlled by Alien warlords.

It seems the Duorong Federation military holds the advantage, but...
