The Bartlet Monarch shook his head and said, "It's very troublesome. Hurry back, I can't handle it."

Kael said solemnly, "It's okay, I've been prepared for this for a long time."

"Hmm? What preparations have you made?"

"The dungeon. I've been waiting for them here for a while. Anyway, let me contact my people first."

"Alright."

"Oh, by the way, to avoid misunderstandings, let me confirm first, are they from the Black Sun Church or the Sea God Church?"

"Black Sun. The number of Shirek's fanatics is more than expected, mainly because Shirek's Divine Favored have arrived. Although Finger of Death is indeed useful here, when Shirek's Divine Favored arrived, they were already in the Divine Descent state.

Kael, I can't guarantee to protect your territory."

Kael smiled and said, "Don't worry, just hold off those guys for a bit. We don't need to use Finger of Death; just wait for our return."

The Bartlet Monarch nodded, and Kael began contacting others.

...

[Location: Duchy of England, Lancaster Territory, Dungeon World Garden]

In the World Garden Dungeon, the Ranger Commander Jonathan received the notification from Kael. He looked up at the sky, and a slight smile of admiration appeared on his face.

"Lord was indeed correct; those lurking in the darkness to spy on the territory have never given up on utterly annihilating us. In that case, the moment of decisive battle has arrived!"

Jonathan laughed loudly, his clothes fluttering, and with the sound of the charge horn, the once dormant World Garden seemed to come alive at this moment.

Not many knew that the World Garden Dungeon could have been conquered a long time ago. But on one hand, Kael considered that the population of the Lancaster Territory was still too small, and further expansion might lead to a heavy burden in the next dungeon conquest.

On the other hand, by extending the conquest period, the creatures of the dungeon were gradually brought into the scope of controllable organisms in Lancaster Territory. Through the Totem Power Kael mastered, those powerful plant creatures in the World Garden became part of the Lancaster Territory. This way, after the dungeon was conquered, Kael and his allies could receive a higher evaluation from the World Will.

Thus, the World Garden, which could have been directly broken through long ago, was preserved and continued to exist for two years.

And now, the moment Kael's orders came, Jonathan took the lead, leading the rangers towards the deepest part of the World Garden, to where the Fallen Mother Tree was located.

The World Garden, as a conventional dungeon, naturally had a final boss that had to be exterminated. The Fallen Mother Tree and its subordinates, the Corrupted Treants, were the last barrier to clear this dungeon.

As for those plant monsters relatively akin to Liang Mountain, they had now become Kael's minions. The Totem Power proved to be overwhelmingly powerful, no wonder that many years ago, the totems could wrestle with the gods using the faith provided by the humans.

Though the result of this wrestling was a loss, it didn't affect the essence of the totems' power, which was exceptionally high.

Had the Fallen Mother Tree not been eroded by a similar high-level power, Kael perhaps wouldn't need to eliminate them on a large scale and could silently incorporate this dungeon into his control with the passage of time.

Soon, as Jonathan wielded his lance, and with the cooperation of many You Qibin, destroyed the core of the Fallen Mother Tree which had little combat experience at the early stage of Holy Land, a multitude of messages from the World Window popped up.

[Detected that you have stolen a vast majority of the plant monsters with retained intelligence from the World Garden, settlement evaluation has greatly increased.]

[Detected that you have mastered 340 types of mainstream intelligent plant monsters separately, mainstream intelligent creatures submitted 100%, settlement evaluation significantly increased.]

[Detected that 99.99% of creatures with intelligence in the World Garden have chosen to submit, you unlocked the achievement "Go Forth as a King," settlement evaluation greatly increased.]

[Detected that although you are not a Border Lord, you have obtained Lord's authorization and became the leading figure in this dungeon conquest, rewards from this conquest will be directly distributed jointly by you and the Lord.]

[Congratulations on successfully conquering the dungeon, the dungeon will integrate into the Lancaster Territory in 3 hours, you received "Map Editor (One-time Use)"]

[Detected that Lord Kael.D.Helois.Cedric holds the border pioneering lord certificate issued by the recognized Ibel Federation and certified noble merit (Hereditary Baron) by World Will, and with direct subordinates led the dungeon "Twisted Jungle" conquest, speeding up territory integration.]

"!!!"

Jonathan's eyes lit up. So, this is the height where my Lord has always stood?

It truly is remarkable! Many years ago, he was already at this position, and now, even after so many years, without him personally taking the field, he still managed to train the current rangers to such a level.

He's truly the Lord I trust!

Jonathan smiled, and the next moment, his expression turned grim: "Then let us carry out the final step of the plan as per Lord's command, and confront those invaders who do not know their place!"
