"Uh... Your Majesty Winter, this warrior is right. We handed over these supplies voluntarily without any reluctance. In addition, I have several maids..."

However, before Cromwell could finish speaking, he felt a chill on his back, as if he was being watched by some ferocious beast, and cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead.

He endured fear and turned his head to look.

I saw a harmless-looking little girl squatting in the rabbit cage teasing the little white rabbit in the cage with a sweet smile on her lips.

Is it his imagination?

Cromwell was a little confused. He felt that his nerves were a little too sensitive, and he regarded a little girl as a ferocious beast that chose people to eat.

He stabilized his mind, turned around, glanced at King Winter timidly, and said with a flattering smile:

"I also have several young and beautiful maids who can also be presented to Your Majesty... uh -"

Cromwell couldn't speak anymore, because a soft, cold hand had pinched his neck from behind and lifted him up.

The hands around his neck were gradually tightening, and Cromwell felt the pain of suffocation, as if the God of Death was gesturing left and right in front of him with a sickle.

"Sir, I give you a chance to reorganize your language."

The sound in my ears was soft and waxy.

Although he couldn't see who was holding his neck, the middle-aged wealthy businessman could guess that it was the little girl who was guarding the rabbit cage just now.

How did a little girl less than 1.5 meters hold him up?

Cromwell soon understood, because his body was gradually rising into the air, and from the corner of his eye he could see a pair of unfolded dragon wings flapping up and down on both sides of his field of vision.

When people are on the verge of death, their thinking sometimes becomes very clear.

The middle-aged wealthy businessman Cromwell suddenly remembered some secrets about the Winter King that were circulating in the city of Kalanli.

It is said that there is a giant dragon next to King Winter that can transform into a little girl at any time. It has white hair and blue eyes and looks extremely cute.

He recalled the appearance of the little girl he had just seen, and then thought of the pair of dragon wings he saw now, and the oppressive feeling all over his body, like falling into an ice cave.

He was completely sure that the person holding his neck was actually a giant dragon!

Legend has it that dragons are extremely possessive creatures. If a female dragon can move with a male human, it can only be a mating relationship.

Sending a maid off in front of a female dragon, isn't this behavior seeking death?

After all, he was an old businessman. Cromwell changed the subject:

"Dedicated to you, the warriors under your command..."

As soon as the hand on his neck was loosened, Cromwell fell to the ground with a "pop". He touched his still painful neck and took a deep breath, knowing that he had made the right bet.

"Then, thank you for your assistance. We will never forget your selfless dedication."

Xiwei waved his hand and signaled the soldiers behind him to receive the supplies.

Truckloads of armor and weapons are all good stuff, and they can be put to good use whether they are given to new players or to replace damaged equipment.

"that……"

Cromwell, who was kneeling on the ground, pursed his lips.

"Your Majesty, can I ask you for some non-material reward? In fact, I have always wanted to join the Winter Kingdom, as long as I can become a small noble..."

He can use some livestock as a selfless contribution.

But these gold, gems, armor and weapons were all he was going to use to negotiate terms with King Winter, and they couldn't be given away for free.

This was Cromwell's plan.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see the strength of the Winter King's army, so it is still very cost-effective to buy a small noble in Winter City with these armors and weapons.

"Didn't the payment already be settled on the way?"

If you don't do things well, you will look bad.

He is a person who pursues perfection.

It turns out that the tasks released by the Winter King all have hidden rewards based on the completed effects.

For example, the favorability of the Winter King.

He didn't want Cromwell's words to affect his gains in this task.

"remuneration?"

Xiwei glanced at the middle-aged wealthy businessman and the incompetent man with interest.

He was very curious about how much rewards players spent in exchange for so many supplies.

"That's right, Your Majesty." He nodded indifferently.

"We people in Winter City are very reasonable in what we do. At that time, I asked Lord Cromwell what kind of remuneration he wanted, and Lord Cromwell said that it would be whatever he wanted."

"At that time, I thought, how can I insult such an enthusiastic person as Lord Cromwell with money?"

He showed a complex expression of admiration and respect, then took Cromwell's hand, held it firmly, and continued:

"So I gave Lord Cromwell a commemorative copper coin of Winterfell, with a carved image of you standing with a sword on it."

[The King of Winter’s favorability towards you is 20, and the current favorability is 61 (appreciation)]

Seeing this system prompt, I smiled slightly.

Everything is under control.

"It turned out to be like this..."

Xi Wei also looked at Cromwell with admiration.

I didn’t expect that even though he doesn’t look like a good person, his character is so noble!

"But, Mr. Cromwell, do you really not need any other reward?"

"I am a benevolent king. You have helped me a lot in this matter. No matter what, I will try my best to satisfy you, such as giving you the position of Baron of Winter Country... What do you think?"

Cromwell was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to agree, but suddenly a huge force came from his hand, which seemed to crush his hand bones.

"No--!"

Cromwell's face turned red and he cried out in pain.

"Oh, okay...it seems you don't like leaving home..."

Xiwei shook his head regretfully.

"Otherwise, I will give you the status of Viscount Kalanli and guard the city wall of Kalanli with my soldiers. After the war, I can apply to King Kalanli based on your military exploits and continue to improve your title."

Cromwell was very reluctant.

Staying in Kalanli to defend the city would mean death anyway.

Didn’t you see that the entire civilian population in Kalanli City has been evacuated?

Now there are only some strange guys who are still on the city wall, making noises, dancing with guns and sticks, attracting the attention of the blood crows, and who knows what kind of intoxicating potions have been poured into them by the Winter King.

He wanted to speak, but the hateful robber in front of him squeezed his hand so hard that he couldn't bear the pain and couldn't even say a word.

"It seems you have acquiesced."

Xiwei nodded happily.

"You are worthy of being a martyr who contributed so much material. Your behavior deserves my admiration. After the war is over, I will issue you a banner in my name..."

"Then, Viscount Cromwell, I will apply to King Calanli for the appointment letter later. Now the walls of Calanli will be freed from your efforts."

Xi Wei glanced at Cromwell with emotion, then got on his horse and drove the horse to turn around, facing the direction of the Emerald Fortress.

"It's time for us to evacuate. Before the Blood Crows pay attention to this place, all the Star Mage will use the hiding circle."

"Army attack."
