Chapter 138: The Beginning of the Conquest of the North, the Savior of the Poor (Subscription Request)

The people let the green dragon leave and did not chase after it. It was not because they did not want to, but because they could not.

Even though the Green Dragon was beaten badly just now, most of the injuries were superficial and far from being seriously injured.

Moreover, there is another trouble waiting for the Moshi Kingdom to deal with.

So who is the strong man in front of him?
After the green dragon flew away and disappeared from sight, they withdrew their gaze and looked cautiously at the black-armored warrior beside them. The Inkstone Kingdom was already the most powerful human force nearby, but even the Inkstone Kingdom did not have an eighth-rank warrior. Where did this warrior in front of them come from?
"Thank you for your help just now." There was silence for a while, and finally the dark magician was the first to speak up.

"It's just a matter of convenience. We're all human beings, so there's no need to be polite." The black-armored warrior waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"You are not from here, are you? What brings you to the Moshi Kingdom?" A seventh-rank warrior said with a smile on his face, "I am from the Moshi royal family and have some ability here. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know..."

No one dared to be careless about this warrior with a mysterious origin and extremely powerful strength, and everyone remained vigilant.

"I come from the south. I am the leader of a wandering army. I came here just to find a place to stay..."

This black-armored warrior naturally fought at night. He gave a brief account of his origins according to the script he had prepared in advance.

The Moshi Kingdom is far away from the Ye Tribe, and that land seems too poor to the Moshi Kingdom and is considered a wild place.

In the past, except for the occasional short-sighted caravan that would take a look around and harvest some resources, no one would come here at other times.

Therefore, they lack specific knowledge of the tribal situation there.

Of course, the main reason is that the Night Tribe poses no threat to them.

More than a decade ago, the Black Soil Plains were not even unified, and the strongest creature was only level six. This strength was not even comparable to that of a border city in the Inkstone Kingdom.

The people of the Moshi Kingdom would never have imagined that in just over a decade, not only would a force unify the Black Soil Plain, but its strength would surpass theirs.

Therefore, they did not associate the night battle with the power of that land, and were skeptical about his words.

After all, wandering legions are not uncommon in this land.

The wandering army, also known as the bandit army, is an external force to powerful forces, but they are bandits to weak forces.

The Moshi Kingdom believed that it was quite powerful and should have no problem controlling this wandering army.

Therefore, when Ye Zhan expressed that he could garrison the border city and help them resist the attack of Green Nest, the seventh-level strongman of the kingdom did not directly reject it.

They have no shortage of land or cities. If a border city can solve the problem of the Green Dragon's Lair, then it will be a very profitable deal.

"This concerns the territory of the kingdom. We need to report to His Majesty the King first before we can give you a reply. Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem with this matter. The kingdom has been invaded by the Green Nest for a long time, and the people of the kingdom all hate that monster..." The strong man representing the royal family looked at the others, communicated with them, and did not give a direct affirmative answer, but just said that this matter was not a big problem.

"Thank you very much." Ye Zhan smiled.

After the deal was settled, the atmosphere at the scene instantly eased, and some warriors even wanted to ask questions about night battle training.

An eighth-level warrior is still a warrior who can fight the dragon head-on.

Such strong people are rare.

Walking and talking, they soon returned to the border city, where the battle had already ended.

In order to facilitate operations, the Green Dragon did not bring too many monster warriors with it this time of invasion, so after the follow-up support troops from the Inkstone Kingdom arrived and their boss was delayed, they fell into a stalemate.

And after the "wandering army" from the night battle came over, they were completely at a disadvantage.

So after the green dragon gave the order to retreat, they left behind nearly 10,000 monster corpses and turned around and ran, fearing that if they ran too slowly they would be torn to pieces by the black-armored army.

After a symbolic pursuit for a distance, the Black Armor Legion returned to the border city and confronted the army of the Moshi Kingdom. The tense atmosphere was not eased until the leaders of both sides came back.

"Sir Yeshan, please rest in this city with your legion first. We will go back to report the situation to His Majesty the King. The appointment letter will be delivered soon." The matter was of great importance, and the people of the Moshi Kingdom did not dare to delay. One person was left behind to arrange the "wandering legion", and the others returned to the capital without stopping.

As expected, the Moshi Kingdom did not reject the proposal for a night battle, or perhaps they understood that rejection would be useless and might even make the already bad border situation worse.

An eighth-level legendary general, three seventh-level warriors, and nearly ten thousand warriors above the fifth level.

This power cannot kill the Moshi Kingdom, but it should not be difficult to capture a dozen cities.

If they unite with the Green Nest, they will even have the ability to divide the Inkstone Kingdom.

Rather than creating a powerful enemy out of nowhere, it is better to use an area where the control is not high to stabilize them. In this way, the problem of foreign legions can be solved and the threat of the Green Nest can be eliminated.

A few days later, a very formal letter of appointment with the king's seal was delivered.

The Moshi Kingdom is very generous.

Ye Zhan only wanted this border city, but they took the border city as the center and assigned all the surrounding areas to Ye Zhan, and also gave him the title of a great noble.

Giving noble titles to foreign entities, or even directly granting them fiefs, was a precedent in the Moshi Kingdom.

After all, there are always strong foreigners passing through this land from time to time. Some are alone, just passing by, and some come with a group of people, trying to find a place to settle down and live. We can't drive all of these people away.

These strong men do not pose much threat to the Moshi Kingdom, after all, their numbers are too small, but if they are willing to join the Moshi Kingdom, they will be a very good help.

Being in this land, strength is always the foundation. The Moshi Kingdom is already strong enough, but they need to become even stronger.

Therefore, granting fiefdoms became a common practice. Those who intended to expand their power would be given more remote areas with less control, and then allowed to manage them themselves.

Then after several decades or even hundreds of years, find an opportunity to take it back.

Many of the seventh-level strongmen in the Moshi Kingdom today are actually outsiders.

Therefore, they were quite happy about the Wandering Legion's proposal to take over the border city, and were even willing to provide resource support so that the Wandering Legion could better fight against the Green Nest.

After the people from the Moshi Kingdom left, Ye Zhan and a group of generals came to the City Lord's Mansion. They gathered together and began to discuss the matter.

"Boss, they are really generous. They actually allocated such a large piece of land to us." Looking at the king's appointment letter, a general said happily.

"What else can we do if they don't give us? With our strength, we can still take it down even if they don't give us. It will just take more effort." A general laughed disdainfully.

"Okay, now that the first step of the task assigned by the patriarch has been completed, it's time for us to move on to the next step."

Ye Zhan and the others were here not because they were driven out, but because they came with a mission: to conquer the North.

This is their mission.

This is a very difficult task. Whether it is the Inkstone Kingdom, the Volcano Kingdom, or the Green Dragon's Lair, they are not much worse than the Giant Tree City. In some aspects, they are even better.

And when the three of them are mixed together, it will cause great trouble to the Night Tribe's road to conquest.

A very simple truth.

They don’t sit around and wait to die.

Just like the three major forces in the Canglan River area, when there is no foreign invasion, they are rivals of each other, fighting fiercely, and wishing to destroy each other.

When the Monster Alliance entered the Canglan River area and demonstrated its strong strength, the intensity of the war between the three parties immediately dropped. When the White Bone City was conquered, the remaining two parties put aside their past grudges and directly united.

The Inkstone Kingdom, the Volcano Kingdom, and the Green Dragon's Lair are the upgraded versions of the Canglan River Region. Moreover, unlike those monster forces, the Inkstone Kingdom is a human force, and the Volcano Kingdom is a dwarf force, and they are more civilized.

This also means that they can see the situation more clearly. When the situation is not good, they will immediately unite and will not give the Night Tribe the opportunity to destroy one of them first.

In addition to some other ideas, Su Xingyu did not choose to send a large army to conquer the north, but adopted a more civilized method.

……

The capital of the Moshi Kingdom, Tianhe City.

The city is surrounded by high walls with sturdy watchtowers and thick gates. The city is bustling with people, alleys crisscrossed, and vendors crowded on the stone-paved streets to sell all kinds of goods to passers-by. Colleges, palaces, markets, taverns and houses are scattered in the city, complementing each other.

The center of a city is usually a castle, which is majestic and magnificent. The combination of stone and wood in the architectural style is very medieval. The castle is a very busy place. The nobles will regularly hold grand banquets and court balls here, and the soldiers will train and prepare for war here. Outside the castle is the vast noble territory, with green grass, wheat fields and fruit trees shining golden against the sunset.

"The Lord of the Green Nest tore up the peace agreement and led the monster army to attack Rock and Earth City, but was eventually repelled by the strong men who rushed over from the capital!"

"A wandering warrior of the eighth-level legendary realm joined the Inkstone Kingdom with his army, becoming the kingdom's strongest line of defense against the Green Nest."

"The Magic Academy has started recruiting students..."

"The Adventurer's Guild invites..."

"In order to resist the threat of the Green Nest, His Majesty the King has decided to increase the tax rate to..."

As the capital of the Moshi Kingdom, it is the most prosperous city in the kingdom. It has everything: strength, power, status, and beauties. Ambitious young people all take this place as their goal and are willing to fight for it all their lives.

However, only a few people can succeed. Every year, many young people come to Tianhe City with great ambitions, but after a few years they will face the reality. The lucky ones can leave, but the unlucky ones can only become a corpse in the stinking ditch.

The nobles in the inner city are high and mighty, enjoying a luxurious life, while the common people in the outer city are as lowly as ants, struggling for daily food and clothing.

The slums of the outer city.

In the middle of the night, the moon is bright in the sky.

At night, the residents here are reluctant to use fire, so the light of the moon becomes the only source of light here.

The house was built casually with a few pieces of wood and mud. The skinny resident with tattered clothes opened the door, stuck his head out, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he carefully left the room.

They trotted all the way, not daring to make any loud noise. From time to time they would stop and hide in the darkness to see if anyone was following them.

This phenomenon can be seen everywhere in the slums. They walk out of every room and gather at a certain location.

Finally, they came to a hidden, abandoned church, where hundreds of people had gathered, most of them malnourished poor people.

On the pulpit inside the church, there stood several mysterious people wearing luxurious clothes and masks on their faces.

Even if you can't see their faces, you can feel their extraordinary temperament.

Noble, this is the temperament only possessed by the inner city nobles.

"My fellow countrymen, we are able to gather here today. First of all, we should thank the great King of Eternal Night. It is He who allows us to gather together regardless of class, wealth, age or youth."

One of the nobles looked at the poor people below and shouted enthusiastically:
"Praise the King of Eternal Night and the Lord of Darkness with me!"

After saying this, He turned around first, and together with several nobles, faced the statue, knelt down and prostrated, and shouted devoutly:

"Praise the most powerful and holy King of Eternal Night. May our Lord be eternal!"

Seeing this, the poor people below followed suit and knelt on the ground, their faces fanatical, and shouted loudly:
"Praise the most powerful and holy King of Eternal Night. May our Lord be eternal!"

A deafening sound echoed throughout the church.

Fortunately, the organizers covered the area with a silencing scroll in advance, otherwise such a loud noise would definitely attract the attention of surrounding residents.

After shouting loudly to express their respect for the gods, they held a silent prayer for an hour.

As the young noble stood up, the prayer ended and he said, "My Lord is the merciful God of the world. He will grant you food to fill your stomach..."

As he spoke, the young man lifted the curtain, revealing a mountain of food, emitting an enticing aroma.

After the prayers, it was time to eat Holy Communion.

The believers below had their Adam's apples moving slightly and their stomachs rumbled with hunger. Looking at the food in front of them, they resisted the urge to pounce on it and lined up in an orderly manner.

While eating the food, the believers thanked the gods in their hearts.

They didn't know who the King of Eternal Night was, nor what they believed in, but none of that mattered.

All they need to know is that believing in the gods can bring them food and fill their stomachs.

The young nobles above also held a "Holy Communion" in their hands. They looked at the poor people below with a hint of disdain in their eyes, but their faces were full of piety.

The believers' meeting did not end until late at night.

　Still lying down.
