After reaching a consensus, the special envoy of the Kingdom of Anjou said happily:

"Then, Lord Saint, let's sign a magic contract!"

Alex Violet shook his head: "No, I can't sign a contract with you until I go to Oak Town to negotiate with Alexander Lane. Of course, you have to go to Oak Town with me."

The messenger thought for a while and agreed readily:

"No problem! It's an honor to go with you!"

...

After chatting with the envoy for a while, Alex left the embassy with his subordinates.

Walking on the way to the palace, Alex's originally upright body became stooped, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years.

Although he had negotiated a contract with the envoy, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this contract was very unreliable.

After the strong men of the Sanctuary of the Shancha family and ten thousand troops entered the Principality of Lane, how could we ensure that the Shancha family would not suddenly rebel and completely occupy the Principality of Lane, which they should have cooperated with?

Even if the Shancha Family fully abides by the terms of the contract, how can they rebuild the Principality of Lane without the support of the Palomia Gold Mine?

Alex felt that the road ahead was uncertain.

...

...

Sam is an ordinary farmer in Shuisong Town.

Because he was willing to help others, he often helped his neighbors repair their farm tools, so the neighbors affectionately called him "Old Sam".

A week ago, he was forcibly conscripted into the army by Lord Brodie Mill.

The lord told them that the lord of Hetan Town killed his cousin, so he wanted to gather an army to avenge his cousin.

Sam didn't complain. It was only natural for the people to fight for their lord, even if the reason was ridiculous.

Although the military camp only provided dry and hard black bread, he was still very happy to think that he could contribute to the territory.

But then things changed.

According to common sense, the subjects follow the lord on expeditions, and the lord must be responsible for the weapons and armor of the subjects.

Sam is good at archery and can even serve as a qualified archer.

But the lord gave them nothing.

Until he started marching three days ago, he only had one hammer in his hand, the one he used to repair his neighbor's farm tools.

God of light is above!

What use is a hammer on the battlefield?

Are they comparable to the long swords and short bows of enemy warriors?

…

The farmers who were captured with him launched a large-scale resistance.

But it's no use.

Many farmers disappeared completely after resisting. Instead, the lord captured more farmers.

Reluctance, anger, pain, fear...all kinds of negative emotions hovered over the military camp.

These were the darkest seven days of Sam's life.

.....

Yesterday morning, Sam's army marched to Thorn Ridge. Behind Thorn Ridge should be Hetan Town.

Sam had only heard of Riverside Town, but had never been there.

Looking at the well-equipped regular troops behind them, especially the "masters" of the fourth phalanx, they not only have uniform equipment, but many of them are also shining with the light of the legendary "magic equipment"!

With the addition of Lord Lucas, who often flies in the sky like a god, the morale of Sam and his comrades has been greatly improved.

This war can definitely be won.

If he could find a place to secretly pretend to be dead while the supervisor was not paying attention, he might even have a good chance of surviving!

…

But the cruel reality ruthlessly crushed Sam's fantasy!

what is that?!

It's a dragon!

The legendary dragon!

Sam couldn't believe his eyes.

After the monster that was as big as a small mountain walked down the mountain road, Sam seemed to see the God of Death waving to him.

Moreover, the hateful supervisor forced him to attack the "big guy" in front of him.

Forced into a dead end, Sam closed his eyes, responded to the call of death, and walked towards a hill-like monster.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard a young and powerful voice.

The voice told him that as long as he bypassed the monster in front of him, not only would he not be demoted to a slave, but they would be released back to Shuisong Town tomorrow.

The other comrades couldn't believe it, but Sam, who was walking in the front row, believed it.

No matter how bad it gets, it won't be worse than it is now, right?

Sam didn't know where he got the courage to be the first to bypass this terrifying monster.

Fortunately, the monster didn't kill him casually.

After walking these few steps, Sam suddenly felt as if he had returned to the world from hell.

...

What happened next was so complicated that Sam could hardly describe it in his own words.

Three or four big figures like gods were fighting in the sky. The dazzling light stung his eyes, and the loud sound almost deafened his ears.

He didn't even know who lost in the end.

After the war, he was sent to the military camp for custody by soldiers from Hetan Town.

The soldiers in Hetan Town were not as arrogant and domineering as the soldiers in Shuisong Town, and they were very kind to them.

Moreover, the soldiers also sent them fine flour to make baguettes, and even sausages made from minced meat, which are good things that may not be available during the Chinese New Year!

And the soldiers told them that they would be released back to Shuisong Town tomorrow and would not restrict their freedom.

The surrounding comrades did not believe that the lord here would easily let them go free, but Sam believed this, and everyone quarreled all night until they fell asleep.

...

Early the next morning, a soldier in military uniform came to the place where they were detained.

The soldier said that according to the instructions of the lord, they were guests from afar and he wanted to take them to visit Hetan Town.

And the soldier also found Sam and said to him, you were the first person yesterday to bypass the crystal...the giant monster, right?

Sam nodded honestly.

The soldier smiled and patted him on the shoulder. The adult said that he would give you this medal.

The soldier said and handed Sam a badge made of gold.

God of Light! The gold content of this gold badge can be made into at least two gold coins.

Under the jealous eyes of the people around him, Old Sam proudly wore the badge on his chest.

Then, the soldier kindly took him out of the place of detention and took him and nine other comrades to visit Hetan Town.

…

The first impression that Hetan Town gave Sam was that it was "new".

Standing outside the town and looking around, you can see many newly built houses.

It had just rained yesterday, and there was very little mud on the road. Sam took a look and saw that the main roads in the town were paved with dense stones.

Sam looked at the badge on his chest. Although it hurt, he knew what he should do.

So he took off the badge, smiled and wanted to "give" the badge to the soldiers leading the team.

He knows that this is the so-called "rules".

But the strange thing is that the soldier angrily thrust the badge into his hand again, saying that he came from the people and could not harm the people's property interests.
