After a month of running around, I finally returned to Farak again.

The group was naturally warmly welcomed. After a day off, Count Nagar left Farak first on the grounds that he wanted to report the situation to the Grand Duke.

Thunder had a headache in the manor. Since receiving the recruitment order, he had been involved in the muddy waters of the war. It was too difficult to get out of here now.

Although the war on the desert has ended, in the south, Momoor's army has not yet retreated, and the war on the other side has been fighting for more than a year.

The girls no longer want to go to war. Such a life is not what they want. As Lei Ting said, in the future, he will only be mercenaries, take on tasks, travel around the mountains and rivers, and catch monsters. How free and easy it is. But... it is not easy to live such a life.

After Tataliel came back with Thunder, the girls really scolded Thunder. However, when they learned about the fate of the desert girl, the kind-hearted Maria and Tifa accompanied her all day long and taught her to speak the common words on the mainland.

That day, when Thunder was depressed and venting with Aiji, Maria rushed over: "Thunder, that Nagel is here again."

"Fuck!" Lei Ting cursed hatefully.

It only took half a month of leisurely life and there were troubles again.

In the living room, I met the Earl Nagar who was on the desert with me. The Earl greeted me a few words and said, "The Lord is very satisfied with our previous negotiation results. I have always praised you for your praise.

The great master believes that the Marquis is so young and promising. It should not be buried. It is because gold always shines."

"The Lord is praised." Lei Ting said modestly, his eyebrows were beating, and a feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart.

Sure enough, Nagel smiled slightly. Then he took out a sealed document from his arms. He looked at Thunder seriously and said, "This is the edict of the Grand Duke. He ordered the Marquis to be the commander-in-chief of the border security and responsible for maintaining the security of the Ceylon border."

Then Nagel said, "The Lord said, you can use the order he rewarded you with the Earth Lion Tooth that last time he mobilized soldiers from all over the Ceylon border provinces."

Thunder was shocked by the center of the earth. This gift was too big and too heavy.

It was right that I was a marquis before, but I was just a nameless title. But now, with the edict of the Grand Duke and the Lion Tooth Order, I have become the veritable commander of the security guarding on the border.

Maria frowned slightly beside her, and she was not happy because her man was appreciated. Instead, the mentor felt something was wrong.

"Master Earl." Lei Ting smiled bitterly, "After all, I am only in my twenties. Is it inappropriate for the Grand Duke to do this?"

"Mr. Marquis is modest. Since you captured the desert city of Kudes, the Grand Duke has been paying attention to you. Now, no one in the country knows your name. It was you who saved Farak and you who defeated the desert robbers." Nagel coughed lightly and continued: "Of course, the Grand Duke also considers that you are too young, so while rewarding you, he also gave you a task. As long as you can complete it smoothly, I think no one dares to say anything on this frontier's Great Commander of the Security Commander."

"What mission?" Lei Ting asked with his eyes narrowed.

"Go to the south and defeat the Principality of Momor!"

Sure enough, it was true! When he heard the so-called title of the Grand Commander of the Border Security, Thunder thought of the Southern Front.

In the south, North City is the border, and the small town of Verani is barely also the border. There is chaos there, so the commander of the border security guard naturally has the responsibility and obligation to clean up.

The big boss is so beautiful that he just gave him a candied date and started instructing himself to do things.

"Hey, Marquis, the Grand Duke originally wanted to invite you to the royal city to summon you, but now the situation is urgent, so you will have such an opportunity after the matter in the south is handled."

Who is happy! Lei Ting cursed in his heart. Is it so easy to solve the southern front? The principality invested more troops there than ten times more than Farak's side. But the war continued, and both sides fought to the death, and no one could get it.

"Can I want this title?" Lei Ting asked slowly after taking a deep breath.

Earl Nagel narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Marquis, this is what the Grand Duke means."

"I'm just a young man and just want to live a happy life with the girl I like."

"Young people must not be enterprising," said Nager.

The two looked at each other for a long time before Lei Ting slowly closed his eyes: "Let me think about it."

"Please think about it quickly, Lord Marquis." Nager snorted coldly and stood up to say goodbye.

The trouble is so big! When the mercenary group learned about this, they all fell silent.

"Let's run." Sisi suggested.

"Where to run?" Lei Ting smiled bitterly, "Besides, if we run away, Uncle Oak..."

"Young Master, the manor is surrounded." Old Ka rushed in from outside and said.

"I'm a numb, do you really think of a young master, I'm a soft persimmon?" Lei Ting

"Do you want to kill them?" The dancer suddenly jumped out, her beautiful eyes flashing with instigation and murderous intent.

"Stop making a fuss." Thunder knocked his fingers on the table, making a thud sound, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

How can we get out of this war vortex and make the Grand Duke willingly take back the order? If you want to negotiate terms with the Grand Duke, you have to pay a very expensive price. What kind of chips can you use for your own use?

Turning his head and glanced at the dancer, Thunder's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old Ka, is Pruden still here in Farak?" Thunder asked suddenly.

"I saw him yesterday, but the Blood Crusader is preparing to return to the royal city."

"Go and call him over here quickly, I have something to tell him." Lei Ting said hurriedly.

Lao Ka responded and rushed out.

An hour later, Blood Crusader Commander Pruden arrived at the manor.

"Congratulations to the Marquis," Pruden said when he saw Thunder, "I am just about to come and say goodbye to you."

"Congratulations, do you not know what I think?" Lei Ting said angrily. He had been with Pruden for several months, and his relationship with two months was quite deep.

"I can't help it." Pruden smiled bitterly, "I know what you think. But... if you want me to help you in this regard, I can't do anything."

"As long as you help me pass a word to the Grand Duke, I will hand you something." Lei Ting raised his eyelids and looked at Pruden and said.

"What?" Pruden frowned, but found that Thunder took out a piece of paper, which was burned with dense lines. It looked like a map and was newly drawn.

"What is this?" Pruden looked at it for a long time and asked, "Why do I feel that this map leads to the desert."

"It's the desert." Lei Ting smiled, "There is a huge treasure in the direction guided by the map. Among the treasures, there is not only countless gold, silver and jewelry, but also... this thing." As he said, Lei Ting took out a piece of metal from the space bag.

Pruden took it casually, but suddenly felt his arm sinking, turned his head and looked at Thunder in a different way, "This metal..."

"Is it heavy?" Lei Ting asked with a smile.

"Not only heavy, but also pure texture. You can try cutting it with a sword."

Pruden pulled out his sword, used his fighting spirit to slash it hard, and a burst of sparks ran around. The force of the countershock made Pruden's big hand tremble slightly. When he looked again, his sword actually made a hole, but the metal had no scar at all.

"This..." Pruden felt a little incredible when he was practicing the metal that he could not even cut through with fighting spirit. What is the texture of it?

"Hehe." Thunder picked up the metal and said slowly: "Now the Southern Front and the Principality of Momoor have been entangled for so long, it can only be said that the strength of both sides is similar. But if Ceylon suddenly has a group of troops armed with these metals to make ground weapons and armor, I believe that the quality of these metals is enough to reverse the situation."

"Are these metals in that treasure?" Pruden asked seriously. As the commander of the Blood Crusader, he naturally knew the value of this metal land. Even the metal used for the Blood Crusader's equipment could not be compared with it.

"Of course, there are a lot of them inside, and these metals are not formed naturally and can be made in batches."

This metal was naturally Thunder that was obtained in Gurok's nest. The space bag was too small, so he only took a small piece. He originally thought that he would go there to explore again if he had time in the future, but he didn't expect that now he would use it in exchange for freedom.

"Tell the Grand Duke, I just want to be the leader of the mercenary group. I don't want to participate in any war anymore. If he allows, I can tell him where this treasure is, and of course there is also a way to make this metal." Thunder handed the metal and that map to Pruden, "The map is only half, and the other half is in my hands."

"You are the first person I have ever met who dares to bargain with the Grand Duke." Pruden closed the map and the piece of metal and sighed.

"No matter what, compared to freedom, these are nothing." Lei Ting smiled slightly.

Pruden left, with Thunder's conditions. Although he was full of expectations, Thunder still needed a second-hand preparation.

"Old Ka, you go to Faer City. If anything happens, you will take Uncle Oak to leave Ceylon and meet on the Hulun Prairie and enter the magic array position of the Anmathel Passage?"

"Remember." Lao Ka nodded.

"That's good, Uncle Oak has entrusted it to you."

"Young Master, take care of yourself." Lao Ka said with a serious expression.

After seeing off Lao Ka, Thunder was relieved, and the rest was waiting for the news. However, Thunder believed that the Grand Duke would not make things too difficult for him. After all, he did not do anything harmful to the principality, and he just didn't want to get involved in the war again.

The manor was surrounded by other places and never retreated. Earl Nagar came to urge Thunder almost every day, and said bitterly

Persuading.

When Thunder didn't hear this, he still stayed in the manor all day long, talking about love with the girls, and from time to time, he even pulled Maria or Aiji to fight.

Earl Nagel became more and more impatient. Half a month later, when Nagel rushed into the manor with a group of people, preparing to tie the thunder to the south even if he was tied up, he rode a fast horse and rushed into the manor directly. Pruden shouted on the horse's back in sweat: "Who dares to be arrogant! The Grand Duke has issued an edict to convey it!"

When Thunder, who was confronting Earl of Nagar, heard Pruden's voice, the stone in his heart was immediately put down.

It would be great if Pruden came. If others came, they would probably start a massacre this time.

"What instructions do the Grand Duke have?" Earl Nagel asked softly.

Pruden gasped, jumped off the horse's back, wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, took out a volume of documents from his arms, threw them to Thunder, and smiled and said, "The Marquis of Thunder, is young and impatient, and is ambitious. The Grand Duke said that he would take back his position as the commander of the border security commander, and dare to collide with the Grand Duke at a young age. He was going to be imprisoned, but because you have made contributions in the desert war and are also a noble, so the title is reduced to one level and demoted to Earl!"

"Duke, I love you so much." Lei Ting laughed.

"Count of Thunder, please return the Lion Tooth Order." Pruden said with a smile.

"Give it." He took out the Lion Tooth Order from the space bag, and then half a map was added to Pruden's hand.

"The Lord asked you, how can you make that metal?" Pruden asked whispered.

"This is simple." Thunder whispered in Pruden's ear: "In that place, there is a huge bug, the kind you have seen that swallow me and Aigele. They like to eat metal, and what I pull out after eating is what I give you."

"The stool of insects?" Pruden said in confusion.

"You can't say that, but I advise you that if you want to find that treasure, bring more powerful manpower, that bug is not easy to deal with." Lei Ting giggled.

"You really have it." Pruden shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Turning around, Thunder opened his arms to the girls and shouted: "Young Master, I'm free."
