The blue crystal trees are towering, and the dense branches are covered with needle-like leaves like pine leaves. Because they often eat these crystal leaves, insects with fluorescent blue bodies fly around, making this place look magnificent.

, yes, this is the "Crystal Forest", one of the two largest sources of extraordinary resources in the world.

However, the scene in the depths of the Crystal Forest at this moment is like purgatory. The most elite legions of the Orcs and Sea Clan just ended their battle here this morning. The final result was that the Orcs captured this area at the cost of more than half of the deaths and injuries.

resource area, and make the Sea Clan ineligible to covet this place for at least a few years.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock~

Uncondensed blood dripped down the crystal needles and landed on a broad-bladed tomahawk. The owner of the tomahawk, who was having lunch, noticed this and wiped away the blood with his big hand. This was done by the most legendary blacksmith in the world.

Build.

"Brother, do you still want to have lunch? The second brother is not sure whether he is alive or dead. If he dies, we will have nothing to gain."

The sad-looking Viper spoke. Wearing a silver-black armor, he gave off a sinister feeling with a hidden knife behind his smile.

"Wouldn't it be better if Harvey died?"

Ergoin sucked the bloody burnt oil on his finger. He still felt unfinished, so he picked up a knife and stabbed the sea animal meat roasted on the fire.

"Good? Which is better? Is it better to be beaten with a cane? Or to have my head knocked off?"

Hearing Viper say the word "stick", Ergo's original good mood suddenly turned cloudy, accompanied by a faint pain in his waist and legs...

"Viper, have we really won? Did we really drive the Sea Tribe out of the Crystal Forest?"

"What do you mean."

Viper's erect eyes narrowed. Although he knew what Ergoin meant, there were some words he did not dare to say.

"In my opinion, although the Sea Tribe has been repelled, the situation in the Crystal Forest is still in danger. We have to stay here for a long time."

After hearing what Erg said, Viper asked with some hesitation: "What if the lord calls us back?"

"Viper, you have to know that sometimes the lord's decisions may not be completely correct. I believe that as long as our persistence is right, the lord will not punish us. Do you think...right?"

At the end of his words, Ergoin looked at Viper with a smile on his face. If Viper dared to say no even half a word now, Ergoin would prevent him from leaving the Crystal Forest.

"Yes, yes, adults will consider our difficulty."

The viper was so smart that he immediately began to agree with Ergoin. At this moment, a herald ran quickly and informed Ergoin and Viper that Harvey had been rescued and had used the secret medicine.

After that, after resting for ten days and a half, there will be no serious problems.

Upon hearing the news, Ergoin's eyes narrowed a bit. He had seen Harvey's injuries. Based on the level of healers in the legion, it was almost a fatal injury. However, the herald, who was kneeling on one knee, quickly answered.

Ergoin's doubts were solved, and Harvey's cronies went to Winter City, as quickly as possible, to get a secret medicine that could only be kept for a few hours, and gave Harvey to drink it, so that Harvey could keep it.

One life.

Not only that, the confidant also brought something to the lord's manor, and the person who sent it stated that it must be delivered to Ergoin.

With some doubts, Ergoin opened the envelope. He actually guessed that the contents of the letter inside were nothing more than some clues that he deliberately exposed.

Ergoin has worked hard until now, and finally no longer has to be dominated by the man who is like a nightmare to him. The other person is kind to him, but he is the existence that he fears the most. At the moment, the existence that makes him fear the most is the only one.

Being able to use the flaw he deliberately left, this really made an uncontrollable smile appear on his face. He opened the envelope and poured it down. What came out was not a letter, but a photo.

This made Ergoin confused for a moment. He pulled the photo out, but as soon as he pulled it out halfway, he stuffed the photo back.

Viper on the side noticed something unusual and asked tentatively: "What are you doing?"

"I should go back and report the good news to you personally that we captured the Crystal Forest."

"Huh? You just said..."

"I didn't say anything just now. No, I single-handedly promoted him as an adult. He is his most loyal subordinate. I have to go back to see him now."

"?"

The Viper Man was all confused. Before he could speak, Ergoin had already strode away, heading to the nearest teleportation array to return to Duskwinter City.

…

The gas lamp in the study dimmed for a moment. Su Xiao put down the battle report in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Ergoin opposite, and said: "Thank you for your hard work this time, what do you want?"

"Sir, I actually don't want anything. I am satisfied to be able to follow you."

Ergoin's face was full of seriousness, without any trace of his previous rebellious appearance.

I want to ask, why did Erg return in such a hurry? The reason is that the photo he sent before was a bird's-eye view of Frost Snow City. The meaning is very obvious, the position of the city lord of Frost Snow City.

It seems that Ergoin is now leading the Winter Legion and has very real power. In fact, this is not the case. After all, Ergoin is just a commander. In addition, the legion under his command consumes a terrifying amount of supplies every day. This also means that,

No matter how long Urgoin grew, he would not dare to identify the beast race.

The lord is the one in power in the first echelon and is under the direct jurisdiction of the Beast King, while the city lord is the one in power in the second echelon. As for the leader, he is in the third echelon. Ergoin, who is extremely obsessed with power, naturally longs for the position of city lord. If

When he controls several elite legions and becomes the city lord of the Winter Territory, his power will reach the level of directly chasing the lord.

"I talked with the old city lord of Frost Snow City. He is old and frail and cannot continue to be the city lord, so I decided..."

Hearing this, Ergoin couldn't control the smile on his face. He first captured White Hoof Harbor, and then attacked Floating Light Island. Wasn't it just for this moment? Now, he finally got what he wanted.

From a commander who fought for his life on the main battlefield, he stepped into the level of the leader of the orcs.

"So I decided to let Viper serve as the city lord of Frost Snow City."

"Cough cough cough!"

Viper was sipping tea in the back, and the tea he choked spurted out from his nostrils. He pointed to himself in disbelief and asked: "Sir, you mean me."

"right."

Viper, who received a clear answer, perfectly reproduced the smile on Ergoin's face just now.

Ergoin, whose smile froze, suddenly felt lonely, turned to smile, lowered his eyes and said nothing, his eyes dim.

"There is another matter. Recently, the old lord of the Devil's Horn fiefdom was executed by the old beast king because he had been secretly colluding with the Sea Tribe's Council of Elders for many years. Because it is right next door to our Winter Fiefdom, I sent someone to deal with it.

The situation there is not stable, and as the commander-in-chief, I should go there in person, but I have been very busy recently."

Su Xiao opened the drawer, took out the Lord's Ring of the Devil's Horn Territory from it, played with it on his fingertips, and seemed to think of something, he asked: "Ergoin, I heard that the situation over there in the Crystal Forest is not stable, you

Quite busy too?"

Hearing these words, cold sweat broke out from Ergoin's back. This was something he had said himself before.

"There is absolutely no such thing. I estimate that in recent years, the Sea Clan has not dared to peek into the Crystal Forest."

"Oh, really."

Su Xiao looked at Ergoin with kind eyes. It was this kind of gaze that made Ergoin wake up from many nightmares, and was dominated by this gaze.

This made Ergoin feel that even if he ascended to the position of commander-in-chief in the future, if he was stared at by this gaze again, he would still tremble in his heart, and there would already be a lingering shadow.

"Then you will be the lord first."

Su Xiao threw the Lord's Ring in his hand on the table. Ergoin on the opposite side hesitated for two seconds. After confirming that this was not a test, he picked up the Lord's Ring. This made the loneliness in his heart disappear, and his ambition was burning.

With.

After letting everyone go out, Su Xiao sat back on the seat alone. Now the fiefdom evaluation has reached S level. Just keep it like this. Samsara Paradise is not occupying this fiefdom. This is meaningless to the paradise camp.

, the important thing is to be able to establish a stable world coordinate and be able to send workers to this world.

Although the main mission was completed, there was still a problem that stuck in Su Xiaoru's throat. In this world, he still had an enemy. He didn't dare to fight the old Beast King until he got rid of him.

Just when Su Xiao was weighing whether to pay some price to resolve the matter, a piece of contract parchment suddenly appeared aside. On the parchment covered with marks, the words of the contract began to appear like fire. This was the violator Beverly.

Operations started over there.

After Su Xiao captured 8.75% of the "initial mark", he was no longer prepared to pay attention to the violator. But looking at the current situation, because the other party had lost the "initial mark", he became more and more angry after taking a step back. Therefore, based on the previous

The contract agency launched its revenge.

The sudden appearance of contract parchment is Su Xiao's contract defense method, which is similar to a firewall. When someone attempts to sign a contract with Su Xiao remotely, this defensive contract will appear first to resist.

To be more precise, this thing is somewhat similar to a contract stand-in or a contract shield.

After Su Xiao looked at the defense contract that suddenly appeared, he took out a blank contract parchment. Since Beverly wanted to fight with someone, Su Xiao helped her find a place where she could show off her skills.

After a while, a contract was drawn up. The content was that the violator Beverly went to the Everlight World at the cost of 100 soul coins. After drawing up these contents, Su Xiao looked at the contract aside.

Contract words are still quickly appearing on this contract. Judging from the contract regulations, Beverly's method of signing the contract is relatively ruthless, and it is bound to kill the opponent in one go. This must be criticized for Beverly's immaturity in the contract.

The more stringent the contract regulations are, the more difficult it is to finally sign it. Instead, the number of regulations must be used to gradually achieve the goal.

After waiting for a long time, Beverly finally drafted various regulations on the contract. After that, the only step left was to sign the names of Su Xiao and Beverly at the bottom of the contract. In this way, the contract would take effect.

As a result, Su Xiao waited for a long time before the white words "Bai Ye" appeared on the contract. Seeing this, Su Xiao showed his contract writing skills and assisted Beverly in writing the contract in a subtle way.

The next step was Beverly's signature. Su Xiao peeled off the signature, moved it above the signature of the Yongguang Contract, and then pasted it on, blurring the contract parchment.

This resulted in Beverly, who was originally going to sign the deception contract, signing her name on the Yongguang contract. The content was very simple. She was willing to pay 100 soul coins as a ticket to Yongguang.

world.

After Beverly's signature appeared on the Eternal Light Contract, Su Xiao tried to use this contract to notarize it to the Void Tree. This was a contract signed by the other party himself, and the success rate of notarization was very high.

Sure enough, a moment after the contract was judged, it was notarized. It can only be said that those who paid to go to the world of eternal light really saw it for the first time.

At the same time, in the back streets of the main city of the Sea Clan, Dicheng, in a guest room on the second floor of a small hotel located in a slum area, Beverly breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a slightly showy tone: "Xiao Ge, you have to be
To be continued...
