The gap between the two was like the difference between a verbal agreent and inward acceptance.
A verbal agreent could still be retracted, but inward acceptance ant that, in the "war" of transactions between the parties, the lords had already made the decision to side with Kael in their hearts.
This was clearly a good thing for Kael.
Kael even suspected that if he were to form an alliance on paper through contract terms, he might also have the opportunity to acquire the authority to issue certain quests from other allies.
However, these were all just his speculations for now.
The most important thing was the promotional effect of this excursion into the dungeons of the Newman Territory, successfully causing so undecided border lords to switch allegiance to Kael’s side, enabling him to gain the qualifications to issue certain quests on their behalf.
Even though these missions could only be related to the dungeon developnt projects, Kael was still ecstatic.
Players would not care if the tasks were issued by Kael on behalf of other lords; they would rely feel that Lancaster provided a wealth of quests and see Lancaster as their long-term base of developnt.

Moreover, if the additional experience pool that Kael received was originally from other forces, it ant that even without expanding his territory to a formidable size, as long as he kept forming beneficial alliances with other lords, he could continually expand Lancaster’s experience pool.
At that thought, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a confident smile.
Becoming the Duke of the Lancaster Duchy and one of the most uniquely positioned individuals within the Yibel Federation would require Kael to strive for a long ti.
However, if he only needed to form concrete alliances of interest to issue quests on behalf of other forces to players...
If that was the case, many things would beco much easier to handle.
His lips curved into a confident smile; now, he seed to understand how to increase the rewards for the tasks he could issue.
Matters like the prosperity of the territory and personal level went without saying, as they depended entirely on the growth rate of Lancaster and Kael personally.
But when it ca to personal identity, there were even more bugs to exploit.
After carefully recalling the value of personal identity, sure enough, the previous upgrades to personal identity were—
[Becoming the person in charge of the mage training project set up in the territory by the Duchy];
[Becoming the actual person in charge of the Earth Mother God Church in the territory];
[Possessing the power to influence the Church of the God of Literature within the territory];
[Gaining increased influence among the erging nobility];
[Capturing the attention of the Magic Goddess Church, and possessing a certain level of influence].
If he added this latest one—[Becoming the leader of an interest coalition recognized by 28 lords]to these conditions, then the criteria for increasing personal identity star value beca quite apparent.
Because all these options demonstrated that Kael could exert actual influence and intervention on these powers, and between him and them, there was already an interest community, at least currently aligned on the sa side.
Or to put it another way, being on the sa side wasn’t the point; it rely laid the groundwork. The actual determining factor was [whether you can exert practical influence and interventions on your allies].
For example, the mage training project was entirely under his control—Mr. Luxius would not involve himself much—so when it ca to deciding who would beco a War Mage, he had the utmost autonomy, a right bestowed upon him by the Mage Academy.
The sa was true for the Earth Mother Goddess Church; he could actually mobilize the priests and nuns of the Church within the territory to serve him.
Although players were not entirely driven by tasks, at least with enough experience points, he could... rest a little easier.
He sighed lightly, his gaze drifting out the window to the dim night scene of Titan Town, his turbulent thoughts gradually calming.
...
anwhile, it was a bustling night market ti inside Titan Town.
Before the players’ arrival, the scale of Titan Town could never sustain the existence of a night market.
But with the influx of many players, in the interest of extracting—ahem, earning more demon crystal coins from them, it arose naturally.
At this mont, there was also a bustle of noise from the entrance.
Emperor Ha’s team, under the astonished gaze of a throng of players, had trapped a Gluttonous Sli the size of a stray dog in an iron cage on a cart, dragging it into Titan Town.
Looking at the feeble state of the Gluttonous Sli, heaven knows what it went through before being locked up in the cage.
"Holy shit! Holy shit! What’s going on? Isn’t that the Gluttonous Sli from the Newman Territory next door?"
"Hey, isn’t that Erha? Impressive! Killing a sli is easy; trapping one in a cage is way trickier!"
"Hard? It’s just a slide tackle away!"
"No, use your reconnaissance skills; Emperor Ha’s team’s levels are a bit high on average!"
"I checked, the lowest is LV3, I’m dying of envy!"
"The big boss is aweso; how many monsters have they killed at the Gluttonous Sli’s lair!"
In the night, a grey eyeball floated in the air, slowly shifting its focus upon hearing the raucous noise in that direction.
This was Kael’s spell, the [Eye of Reconnaissance].
Seeing that these players had actually put the Gluttonous Sli in a cage, Kael’s face was also filled with surprise.
