The matter of the followers was not left undecided for long, and Chen Feng quickly finalized the list.

In addition to more than a thousand warriors, half of the Dark Department’s members participated in this expedition, indicating that Lu Wei became one of them.

Wei Xun, unfortunately, was not selected, but he didn’t have time to feel disappointed, as he was appointed as the proxy of Gutang Port the day before.

As an Elder Level member, Wei Xun held significant influence within the Order, and being tasked with building the New City was also a symbol of trust.

Besides that, Xu Hongzhuang stayed on guard at the eastern bridge, while Death Island was managed by Mata. Chen Feng was not worried about any tricks from the half-elf girl, knowing that even though he was about to travel far, his influence in the camp would never dissipate.

Moreover, Death Island had permanent warriors stationed, and Gutang Port also watched from the sidelines like a tiger eying its prey. If she really harbored any complex intentions, they would be obliterated instantly.

Mata was not foolish, having finally found a backing, she wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.

The departure was set for one week later because Chen Feng still had other matters to attend to before that.

Elwin stood by, and even though this Dark Elf had already gained Golden Tier strength, she remained submissive in front of Chen Feng.

She had gained everything she desired.

Originally among her race, there were three Preparatory Priests, and with her advancement to the Golden Tier, she undoubtedly became a full-fledged Priest.

As for those companions, to avoid future troubles, Elwin found a random excuse to strip them of all their power, then sold them to nearby slave traders.

This is the method of Dark Elves, where the weak almost have no chance to protest.

Rose enjoyed watching her people slaughter each other because she firmly believed that in a world of survival of the fittest, only the strong could survive to the end.

As for the process, she completely disregarded it.

As a former Priestess among the Dark Elves, whether it was her appearance or her status, she drove some slave traders into madness, and because of that, Elwin used the means she learned in the Human World and even held a small auction.

Unquestionably, the centerpiece auction item was her kin, while some food and weapons from the Human World were also on the list.

Auction.

Chen Feng never expected Flora to establish such a building in her territory, because, without much intelligence, most Demons chose to seize good things rather than use so-called rationality to compete.

Even if it opened, it would only be a farce.

But the Dark Elves were different. They lived in the Dark Realm, which was part of the Abyss, but due to Rose’s power, few dared to make trouble there unless an opposing force was prepared to engage in a bloody battle with Rose.

In such an environment, the Dark Realm attracted many beings from other dimensions. Demons, Devils, Fallen Angels, and even some Liches were likely to appear here.

Under these circumstances, Flora’s Demon City resembled a barren countryside, while Elwin’s place was the center of a city, with different traffic flow and consumption situations.

The food didn’t cause much sensation. As the evil side, those who needed time-consuming cooked food preferred swallowing a worm or consuming a soul for more satisfaction.

Therefore, the food was exchanged for some ores and removed from the shelf, but this gave Chen Feng some inspiration. Since that was the case, he might as well prepare some cooked food for auction next time, which might fit the Abyssal beings’ "fast food" lifestyle better.

The food auction was unsatisfactory, but the weapons were well-received by many monsters.

In this world, Dwarfs were undoubtedly the most outstanding Blacksmiths. Usually, Devils would even hire a group of Dwarfs to forge weapons, but creating a fine weapon required a significant amount of time, even for a regular-level weapon, Dwarfs needed five days to complete it.

Under such circumstances, the supply of weapons could not be overly optimistic.

Devils have intelligent minds, so even if the time is lengthy, they would spend time preparing.

But for Demons, they abhorred the waiting time. They preferred surging forward like the tides, but such actions usually ended in crushing defeat against the Devils’ fine weapons.

Demons rely on numbers, Devils rely on equipment.

This is why one Devil can defeat six Demons. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The weapons Elwin brought sparked quite a discussion. The forces participating in the auction initially seemed indifferent, but when Elwin placed hundreds of forged weapons in front of them, most of the Demons’ eyes glimmered with strange light.

Compared with Dwarfs’ handcrafted weapons, the Order possessed several forging factories, and although their quality was slightly inferior to that of the Dwarfs, such regular weapons could be produced on an assembly line at a rate of thirty per day.

What does this imply?

A demon army of several thousand could be equipped in a short time. Besides, the Blacksmith fortified weapons were not on this auction list.

In the Abyss, Chen Feng naturally regarded the forces around Elwin as enemies. Imagine when the enemy, holding high-price-bought weapons, enters battle only to have them shattered by the weapons of Elwin’s legion—this was evidently a thrilling scene.

Of course, the Abyss is not the Human World, and without thorough preparation, Chen Feng would not rashly incite a conflict.

The auction proceeded smoothly, and ultimately, a mysterious buyer purchased the several hundred weapons at the cost of six Soul Stones.

These were the methods of Liches, and it was unknown how many years that buyer had existed.

The Soul Stones contained dense Power of the Soul, and after devouring them, one could gain some resistance to Soul Attacks. If all six stones were consumed, one could even withstand the "Wail" of a Banshee without immediately losing basic judgment.

Elwin seemed not to expect such gains from these several hundred weapons. Even though she still had a lot of surplus, being aware of the rarity value, she chose not to display the remaining weapons, simply stating that the next batch would arrive soon.

This rekindled hope in the slightly disappointed forces, who pledged to prepare more wealth next time to buy Elwin’s weapons.

At the end, two Dark Elves, drained of combat power and appearing somewhat haggard, were pushed forward as the final auction items, immediately causing a stir in the audience.

Regardless of appearance, the identity of a Preparatory Priest was enough to make their blood boil.

After a fierce struggle, a bewitching Enchanting Demon became the winner. It was rumored that she opened a "Red Mill" nearby, specializing in flesh trade.

The reward she offered was special: ten unhatched variant eggs!
