The war in the East ended as abruptly as it began.
The entire Eastern Territory, and even the entire Gondor, were silent because of that legendary adventurer who stood proudly in the void and destroyed thousands of armies with a single blow - Lando!
Since then, Lando has gained a new title besides Dragon Slayer, Army Breaker!
His deeds finally broke through the restrictions of the Eastern Realm and began to be widely spread throughout Gondor, and he was vaguely known as the strongest man in Gondor!
His Majesty, the High King of Gondor, fell into silence for a long time after receiving the news from the front line. Until he heard the report from the guards, Lando had come to visit him, but after being blocked by the knight leader, he finally couldn't help it.
Anger breaks out.
It is said that that day, the palace where the High King resided collapsed due to disrepair. His Majesty the High King was very angry and ordered the guards to repair it immediately.
After this time, no one in the entire Eastern Territory dared to compete with Marquis Pierce, and many nobles even "voluntarily" gave up their territories and went to other areas of Gondor.
After a period of preparation and deliberation, and after acquiring 70% of the entire Eastern Territory, Marquis Pierce finally sent a formal document to His Majesty the Supreme King, requesting that he be canonized as a Duke and establish a new principality!
Gondor remained silent and did not respond to this official document. The Marquis of Pierce did not care and began to prepare for the establishment of a principality.
The passage of time does not depend on anyone's will. At least in this world, no one can intervene.
Half a year later, the Marquis of Pierce officially established the Duke of Pierce in the East, and he himself was naturally promoted to Duke of Pierce.
After establishing the principality, the first thing Duke Pierce did was to confer Lando as the Protector of the Country, the Grand General of the Principality, and the Pillar of the Country.
Although the Pierce family knew that Lando was powerful, they were still puzzled by the Duke's actions. However, after several objections and protests were ineffective, they could only temporarily cease their activities and secretly try to figure out the Duke's intentions.
Then, Duke Pierce made institutional adjustments to several coastal port cities, including Sailport, making these commercial cities more efficient and thereby reaping huge benefits.
After one year after the establishment of the Principality and everything was on track, Duke Pierce announced that he would build an extraordinary city as the capital of the Principality of Pierce to protect this land forever.
The name of the city is Watch City.
This decision was unanimously supported by the entire principality at first, but when Duke Pierce took out the city's design drawings, all the principal officials were shocked, and the financial officials rushed to Duke Pierce, knelt down, cried bitterly, and begged
The Duke has acquired the 'supernatural power'! How can a transcendent city of this level be afforded by a newly established principality?!
However, when they saw the magicians coming from the Ring of Nature and the Tower of White Elephant one after another, their expressions varied from shock to confusion, from confusion to silence, and from silence to hope. It was also wonderful.
In the end, all the senior officials of the principality agreed that with the strong support of the two extraordinary spellcasting organizations, that whimsical extraordinary city design might actually be realized!
In the same year, after a long period of development, the already well-established Mutual Aid Society finally surfaced. After restructuring and reorganization, the new organization was named the Worshipers Order. As for the object of worship, it was naturally the Dragon Slayer and the Army Breaker.
, the legendary adventurer, the pillar of the country, Lord Lando!
The Order of Worshipers is no longer limited to publicizing Lando's various deeds, but has begun to help all those in need with the help of the special power of the newly emerged people in the order, called Prayers, in order to expand
The influence of the Cult of Worshipers.
Secretly, due to the merger of the dark organization led by the Corpse Witch, the Cult of Worshipers has its own powerful armed force, and all betrayers and discordants will face a secret and terrifying liquidation.

Yuanfan Harbor, at the city gate.
Because of the reform of the system, Yuan Sail Port's business has become more prosperous. While the residents of Yuan Sail Port are smiling, the only thing they are worried about is the city gate that is often crowded.
Although Yuanfan Port has passed the bill to expand the city gate, it will still take some time for specific implementation.
In the distance, a carriage and two horseback riders came slowly and stopped in front of the crowded city gate.
"Sir, the road ahead is blocked. Do you need me to reveal my identity to the guard?" the coachman asked respectfully to the people inside the carriage.
"No, let's wait for a while." A gentle and magnetic voice came from the carriage.
The curtain opened, and it was Luca sitting in the car.
It can be said that his life experience is really full of twists and turns. When he was a child, his family was well-off, but he only cared about having fun. When he was a teenager, his arms were broken because of a fight. The family spent a lot of money on treating him.
His family was destroyed due to unexpected changes; he became a homeless man and a beggar when he became an adult, and could only make a living by begging. After seeing the warmth and coldness of human beings in the world, he could only leave tears of regret after nightmares; when he was approaching middle age, he finally caught the
He took a chance, joined the mutual aid association, and climbed up step by step, just to no longer experience the hesitation and helplessness of the past. In the end, he succeeded. Not only did he become the speaker of the mutual aid association, but he also awakened special powers because of his admiration for Lord Lando.
Now he has become a high-ranking member of the cult of worshipers.
Looking back on his life, Luca couldn't help but let out a sigh. He held a pendant on his chest that symbolized his status in the cult of worshipers, closed his eyes and prayed.
If you look carefully, the pendant clearly looks like a small glass. It was of course designed by Lando to be used as the symbol of the cult of worshipers.
Seeing Luca begin to pray, the two warriors on horseback immediately dismounted from their horses and stood respectfully aside. The coachman did the same.
Their strange behavior aroused the curiosity of the people nearby who were waiting to enter the city, and they couldn't help but point at them. However, the knowledgeable people's expression changed when they saw it, and they began to look for something on the carriage. When they saw a person who was not hiding,
After the sign, he immediately pushed away the crowd and came to the carriage to stand and wait respectfully.
The two people guarding the carriage were a little wary at first, but felt a little relieved after seeing that the visitor did not come any closer.
When Luca finished his prayer, he felt that many people had gathered outside the carriage, and many of them were respectfully waiting for him to finish his prayer.
Luca was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the whole story. He smiled slightly, and then began to adjust his clothes. After confirming that everything was correct, he left the carriage with a smile that could contagious people's hearts and began to express condolences to the waiting church members.
"What happened over there? Why did so many people gather?"
"I don't know. Suddenly people gathered there. I don't know what happened?"
"You don't know this? There is a prayer man over there who is praying!"
"Prayer? What is that?"
"What? It's actually the prayer master who is praying?! Why the hell didn't anyone tell me?!" A middle-aged man's expression changed when he heard this, and he was about to run towards the crowd.
"Hey? Boss, where are you going? What to do with the goods?" Seeing the boss running away, his men immediately shouted.
"You guys go back first and bring the goods back to the warehouse!" the middle-aged man said without looking back.
"Who is the person praying?" Some people are still confused.
"You don't even know about Lord Prayer? The Worshipers should know about it!"
"Of course, the Cult of Worshipers is famous in the principality!"
"Prayers are people with special abilities in the cult of worshipers. It is said that they have the power to heal any disease and injury. The powerful ones can even revive the dying!"
"So awesome?!" People around him exclaimed.
"Of course, no matter what injuries or diseases you have, the Lord Prayer can heal them with just a wave of his hand. Therefore, these adults have a noble status. They are the guests of the noble gentlemen, and their status in the Order of Worshipers is also high.
Ridiculously high.”
"Wow! I wish I had this ability too!"
"You? What a beautiful thought!"
…………
After dealing with the enthusiastic people, Luca's carriage was finally able to enter the city.
"Sir, you don't need to pay attention to them at all. Most of them are not members of the religious order." The coachman said to Luca.
Luca smiled and said: "I firmly believe that one day they will join the cult and become our brothers and sisters. When the time comes, I will still treat them as brothers!"
The driver and the two guards stood in awe.
After that, there was no words for the whole journey. Luca looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets and fell into deep thought.
The images in his memory kept churning. He vaguely remembered which street he begged for food on, and which street he was chased by villains and almost died on.
These events obviously only happened a year or two ago, but to him now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
"Sir, we're here." The coachman's voice interrupted Luka's memories.
Pulling back his thoughts, he recalled the purpose of his trip, which was to take over all the activities of the Worshipers in Sail Harbor, and his first stop was not to go to the current place where the Worshipers or the former Mutual Aid Society started.
, but came to the newly appointed city lord of Yuanfan Port and wanted to pay a visit first.
"Then, let's go and meet the Lord of the City."
Luca is wearing a gorgeous robe and a mysterious pendant on his chest. He exudes a temperament like an ancient nobleman who has been precipitated by history, with a hint of a tramp.

"Yawn(__)(-.-)(~O~)...(-.-)!"
A small boat floated casually on the calm sea, a sigh of relief sounded, and then the rocking of the boat caused ripples to appear on the mirror-flat sea.
Lando stretched out and got up from the boat. He had finished some research before. He was a little tired physically and mentally. When he saw such a beautiful sea, he couldn't help but push out a small boat and let it drift in the sea, with himself on it.
Go to sleep soundly and bask in the sun.
Now I sleep until I wake up naturally, and I feel very comfortable and happy.
There was no need to think about where he had drifted to, as the ripples in the space around him directly teleported him and his boat back to his current temporary footing, a small offshore island.
The island is not very large, only about one square kilometer. His magic tower stands in the center of the island, which has shielded the entire island, making it impossible for outsiders to find it.
Since the end of the Eastern Territory Incident, he has lived in seclusion here to conduct research. Anyway, his subordinates all have his emergency contact information, so if there is an emergency, they can contact him in time.
As usual, I contacted Xiao Hui and asked about the progress of building this extraordinary city called Watch City. It was pretty good.
The so-called extraordinary city was the drawing of the floating city that Lando gave to Duke Pierce. This was also one of the trump cards he used to seduce the Ring of Nature and the Tower of White Elephant. Everything was as he expected. Not only did he get two extraordinary spellcasters for nothing,
The support of the organization also allowed them to bring their own dry food to work for free, but what Lando paid was just a drawing, a bunch of special materials collected in this world that he could not use, and a temporary transfer of Xiao Hui.
Just lending it out.
Well, the plan works!
Of course, this so-called floating city is not the same concept as the current floating city of the Arcane Empire. After countless generations of improvement and reconstruction, the current floating city of the Arcane Empire is completely different from the original version. It can be called this name.
It's more of a commemoration.
The Watch City that Lando asked Duke Pierce to build can only be said to be an initial simplified version. It is really just a flying island.
Of course, with the participation of two extraordinary spellcasting organizations, magic towers can be built on top of it and various magic arrays can be created, which can achieve some of the power of the first-generation floating city.
Having said that, Lando's main research object during this period was his newly developed psychic seed and the accompanying psychic network. Now it is basically completed and can almost be tried to run.
As early as when Lando first became famous and began to gather the power of faith, he discovered that the power of faith would be lost to a certain extent in the process of dissemination, which was in line with the laws of nature.
At that time, he was wondering if there was any way to make up for this shortcoming, because as he moved away, the loss would increase rapidly. He believed that all arcanists who came would encounter this problem. This should be the reason why no arcanist has experienced it so far.
The reason for the chaos among magicians is that everyone is guarding their base and trying to gain as much power of faith as possible to take that step as soon as possible.
The first solution he thought of was the Magic Network, because in the DND world, this was originally one of the ways the gods solved the spread of the power of faith.
But he couldn't control the magic network in this world, which put him in trouble. It wasn't until the emergence of the Soul Seed, a new network system that was researched based on part of the magic network theory and completely controlled by him, that this problem was solved.
of dawn.
After this period of research, he finally overcame the problem of the spiritual network spreading the power of faith, and the spiritual seed was re-improved and transformed by him into a receiver capable of absorbing the power of faith.
Now, he only needs to open this network, and the prayers who have planted spiritual seeds by him will naturally absorb the power of faith radiating nearby and transmit it to him. I believe that in this way, the power of faith can be transmitted.
, the efficiency will definitely be much higher than before.
PS: Something went wrong, guys. When I was coding in the afternoon, I had no inspiration for all kinds of text. It took me several hours to type out one or two thousand words. After about four or five o'clock, it returned to normal. The weirdest thing.
As soon as 12 o'clock passed, my thoughts suddenly started to flow and I could code 2,000 words in one hour! But I was really sleepy!!!
What kind of disease is this? Do you think I should go to the hospital?!o(╥﹏╥)o
