Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 648 - 310: Bai Ye’s Legend, Antigravity, and Takeover_2

From then on, his fame skyrocketed.

But he also became a thorn in the side of the three major gangs, with bounties and rewards for his capture constantly increasing.

This blatant provocation also proved Bai Ye’s power, ranking him directly in the top ten on the Tier Two leaderboard of the Hunting Wilderness Guild from being previously unknown.

Even in such a poor and remote place like Oasis Town, within the circle of Tier Two Evolvers, this strong person left from hundreds of years ago was quite well-known.

At this moment, hearing from Lin Feng that the Leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye, had also joined Oasis Town was even more unbelievable to everyone than if reinforcements had been sent by the Holy City Diocese.

It was simply a fantastical tale!

After all, the Salvation Army, while not ruthless outlaws, weren’t exactly benevolent saints either, so why would they offer timely assistance?

Moreover, Oasis Town was facing a Town-breaking Beast Calamity, and if the Salvation Army got involved, it was likely they would also face sieges and blockades from the Desert Wolf Race.

If Lin Feng had said the Salvation Army wanted to take advantage of Oasis Town’s crisis to plunder its resources, no one would have disagreed.

But for a Wandering Force to actually aid the authorities pursuing them, it was simply unbelievable.

Yet after Lin Feng’s astonishing words, the Lord Bishop, the person in charge, did not refute or clarify...

Instead, he nodded lightly with approval!

Making everyone immediately realize that the young man’s words might not be false.

The Salvation Army really did come to aid Oasis Town!

However, among the present Tier Two Evolvers, it was Xu Wanfeng who reacted first.

She immediately realized that the Salvation Army might not have come to aid Oasis Town to fend off the Desert Wolf Race voluntarily.

After all, from the intelligence she had previously gathered, the Salvation Army appeared near Oasis Town with the purpose of plundering the Rock-Horned Horse farming industry held by the Li Family at Nongzhuang Village.

On the last return journey of the Pilgrimage Convoy, it was the Li Family’s Heavy Truck Transporter that got robbed by an unknown force, which was the work of the Salvation Army.

And the sudden change in direction of the Salvation Army likely also related to the young man present.

After Lin Feng learned of the Desert Wolf Race’s invasion, he decided to persuade the Salvation Army to assist in resisting the wolf army in exchange for the industries of the Li Family as a reward.

Other than the Li Family suffering losses, everyone would be happy.

Now that the two Tier Two Evolvers of the Li Family had both died in the arena, Nongzhuang Village and the Li Family naturally became easy targets for anyone to control and divide.

Sharing some with the Salvation Army as a reward for aiding Oasis Town was a win-win.

After all, it didn’t touch the core interests of the Oasis Church, so employing the Li Family as compensation would help the Salvation Army avoid conflict with the Holy See.

Previously, the Church would never have considered cooperating with the Salvation Army or lowering itself to work with a Wandering Force.

But now, with a great enemy at the gate and an alien race invading, it’s not an issue since the Salvation Army, as a human force, has no blood feud with the Church and can ally against the Desert Wolf Race.

Behind Xu Wanfeng, Han Tao, after a brief moment of shock, quickly realized the implications behind this.

It’s probably also closely related to Lin Feng.

Seeing the mixed reactions on everyone’s faces, only the two village leaders next to them breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, with Lin Feng saying this, it meant they weren’t required to join the Tier Two squad combat operations, and with the legendary Evolver known as the Queen of the Skies joining, the chances of Oasis Town breaking out of the Desert Wolf Race’s encirclement increased significantly.

The two only needed to wait for the Holy City to take over Oasis and continue managing their subordinates.

As Tier Two Evolvers, when willing to offer their industries to work for large forces, the treatment is generally not poor.

After all, the longevity of Tier Two Evolvers can ensure stability and order within an organization.

At the same time, their strong evolutionary power can handle various emergencies, such as suppressing uprisings from the lower levels.

As for the expressions of Xu Wanfeng and Han Tao, they varied.

The former seemed to realize something, while the latter’s previous smile quickly turned cold.

After all, with the original leader of Oasis Town, the Lord Bishop, nearing the end of his life, even if Oasis Town escapes the Desert Wolf Race, it won’t have a Late Tier Two strong person to oversee it.

Han Tao could easily contact his own forces to come and effortlessly take Oasis Town.

But now that the Salvation Army suddenly joined, and even cooperated with the Oasis Church...

It means the chance for the Life Farm to seize Oasis is minimal.

Lin Feng noticed this and inwardly sneered, clearly aware that Han Tao hadn’t realized the insider information he had, which silently condemned him to death.

He then continued, saying:

"This matter has already gained the approval of the Lord Bishop."

"Considering the current crisis Oasis Town faces and the honorable actions of the Salvation Army, the Lord Bishop has decided to officially suggest to the Holy City..."

"That in consideration of the Salvation Army’s outstanding contributions during the Town-breaking Beast Calamity, we grant them amnesty, withdrawing all charges and restoring their normal wasteland status."

"From now on, the Salvation Army will no longer be a wandering force in the wasteland but rather freemen under the Holy See’s jurisdiction."

"At this moment, the Leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye, is engaged in fierce combat with the Desert Wolf Race in the mountains and urgently needs our support."

"This is also one of the reasons I am eager to form a Tier Two Hunter Squad. Additionally, with the Salvation Army drawing the wolf race’s fire, we can seize the opportunity to target the Early Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts for a strike."

"So rest assured, the Leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye, ranks in the top ten of the Tier Two list with an evolution level of 29, her power being almost at Tier Three."

"With her joining, the threat of the wolf race to Oasis Town is not as severe as we imagined."

"Furthermore, Leader Bai Ye is about to step into the Third Stage, becoming a King..."

"I think the significance of this is clearer to you, Chairman Xu, than to me, no?"

Having finished speaking, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Xu Wanfeng.

The latter, after taking a deep breath, nodded with excitement and agreed:

"I never expected even the Salvation Army, as a wandering force... No, as Free Forces, to be so magnanimous and to help regardless of past grievances..."

"Our Hunting Wilderness Guild will naturally not stand aside and shirk its responsibilities."

"I support Leader Lin’s plan and am willing to cooperate with your beheading operation!"

"I hope Leader Lin can assist Fifth Village in the upcoming actions, considering the Guild."

Lin Feng nodded, saying:

"Of course, the guild’s weapon and ammunition needs will be met primarily and supplied in priority."

Xu Wanfeng’s lips twitched, realizing that Lin Feng was meticulous, leaving no room for free aid or help without compensation.

All the implied meaning was that you pay, you get, no money, no goods.

After forming the Tier Two squad and finishing his speech, the Lord Bishop turned to Father Su An.

The latter then stood up and spoke:

"Everyone, the Lord Bishop has overexerted himself in the battle against Giant Beast Wolf Ao and needs to rest for a while. Henceforth, I will fully command all defenses and counter-strategies against the Desert Wolf Race’s assault."

"As for the five major villages under Oasis Town, they will be arranged by Lin Feng’s convoy. They will ensure the transport of weapons and ammunition to each village and also arrange reinforcements."

"If there’s nothing else, the meeting’s adjourned. Prepare for the battle!"

With that, everyone gradually rose, displaying varied expressions, and left the meeting room.

In the hallway outside the meeting room, Lin Feng made arrangements with Xu Wanfeng and Han Tao to gather in front of Holy Spring Village in twenty minutes.

The two nodded and left.

As Lin Feng was about to head to the Upper District to retrieve his upper-class slaves, Father Su An called after him:

"Wait, the Lord Bishop has something to discuss with you. Go to the secret room in the Church District."

"Leave the upper-class matters to me. I will instruct Zheng Yan Ying and the others to release them and have the collars fitted on the upper-class."

Lin Feng nodded and suddenly asked:

"Just me?"

Father Su An shrugged with a helpless smile:

"Do I look free to you? The Lord Bishop has passed all the responsibilities onto me, and I still need to head to the Command Control Room."

Saying that, Father Su An patted Lin Feng on the shoulder:

"Go ahead, the Lord Bishop places great importance on you!"
