Chris said: "I will go back with the army first. Don't forget to send this year's tribute to Dawn City before the end of the year."
"Start collecting money this year?" Dorum wailed.
There are less than two months left before the end of the year.
Chris said coldly: "Huh, don't think I don't know that you all have money now, and you only paid a deposit to hire the dragon slayer, right? Send me the rest of the balance!"
His words were strong and his tone left no room for doubt.
The three kings looked at each other, and one could see the bitterness and helplessness in their eyes.
It seems that it is impossible not to take this money.
Chris did not stay any longer and turned around to leave with Lisa in hand.
As the two walked out of the hall, Lisa asked in a low voice: "Is it too easy for them?"
"Oh, what do you want to do?"
A sly smile appeared on Lisa's face: "In my opinion, they should all be beaten up, preferably the kind that means they can't get up from bed for several months."
In the palace, several kings who heard the two voices trembled unconsciously.
The ice dragon looked so beautiful in its human form, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel in heart.
To be able to beat an eighth-level knight to the point where he can't get out of bed for several months, what level does that have to take?
They pricked up their ears to listen to Chris' answer. After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the vicious couple was sent away.
The atmosphere in the hall was quite dull, and everyone was not in a good mood.
They originally wanted to carve up the Blazing Dragon Kingdom, but they got involved in it. What the hell is this?
Festa asked melancholy: "What should we do? Are we really going to become a tributary of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom like now?"
"Wait for a year, wait for us to quietly remove the magic power left in Chris's mind, then gather more countries, and then go to him to settle the score." Kinuit was still very unconvinced.
Dorum said coldly: "I advise you not to do this."
"Why?" Ginyut was very puzzled, "Don't you want to lead your country to regain freedom?"
"Toronto, tell them what kind of strength Chris was two months ago."
The White Tiger Prince looked complicated and said: "Even I am not as good as me. You need to join forces with that ice dragon to barely defeat me."
Kinuit asked in surprise: "In other words, in just two months, his combat effectiveness was so strong that he could defeat the three of us by leapfrogging?"
"Yes, that's it." Toronto confirmed.
Hearing this, Ginyut and Festa took a deep breath.
Normally speaking, when a low-level knight challenges someone one level higher than him, it often takes four or five people to join forces and cooperate to barely achieve a tie.
How come you can fight several knights who are more advanced than yourself when you get to Chris's place?
Even if he is a dragon known for his fighting prowess, this is too unreasonable.
Of course, these kings, who were aloof and had never fought many times, would not have imagined how many ups and downs Chris had experienced along the way, and how many dangerous duels he had experienced.
Moreover, Chris has eaten many dragon cores to enhance himself, coupled with the three holy relics and the many forbidden spells he learned from Andulu, he has the strength he has today.
Kinuit's eyes were filled with despair: "If you put it this way, are we going to become someone else's dependent country forever?"
"I think this may not be a bad thing." Dorum said.
"Brother, have you lost your mind? Isn't it a bad thing to become a vassal state?" Kinuit's voice suddenly became louder, "If my ancestors knew about this, they would not be so angry.
Climb out of the coffin and slap me twice."
Dorum patiently explained: "Listen to me first. Although we have to obey Chris's orders, we are actually connected as a whole. No one will be the target of the expansion order."
Neither Ginute nor Festa answered, but lowered their heads in deep thought.
They discovered that this seemed to be the case.
Dorum continued: "If we encounter any problems, such as being bullied by other countries, and go to Chris for help, will he just watch and ignore it?"
The two fell silent.
"Last point, with Chris's potential, he may become the top powerhouse on the continent in the future and build a huge empire. Those of us who surrendered to him at the beginning will definitely gain more benefits and status than those who come after him.
.”
Kinuit's eyes were surprised: "You think so highly of him?"
"Why not?" Dorum asked, "How old is he now, eighteen or nineteen? Come on, tell me what are you doing when you are eighteen?"
Kinuit was speechless. His eighteen-year-old self was nostalgic for the gentle country of the beautiful maid.
"I will prepare a sumptuous banquet tonight. Let's have a few drinks. You can go back to your homes tomorrow." Dorum said with a smile.
······
Chris returns to the army with Lisa.
"Your Majesty! Queen!" Potala quickly gathered around with several relatively high-status earls.
"Yeah." Chris nodded slightly, "Let's withdraw our troops."
"yes!"
Potala obeyed the order unconditionally and did not say any words to persuade him: We have fought here, why should we retreat?
The army turned around and evacuated along the breach in the city wall.
Outside the city, when the knights of the Ye Dog Kingdom saw them coming out, they all stood up in fright and remained on high alert.
But the army of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom passed by without any interaction from beginning to end.
The high-ranking nobles of Yequan Kingdom let out a long sigh of relief. The king is not here. If a war were to start, I am afraid that all 20,000 of them would have to flee for their lives.
The army of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom returned along the way they came and arrived at the first small city after half a day.
Chris had no intention of staying, but instead told Potala: "Send the order and tell all the knights in this city to go home, and call all our people back."
This means that he is not planning to rule the city he just captured, but to return it to the White Tiger Kingdom.
Potala agreed without any doubt: "Yes, Your Majesty."
When this order was passed on, knights gradually left the army and went to the small city. The number was not large, only two to three hundred.
Reputation from Omic 5, Reputation from Hopfera 8...
These people are able to go home and will naturally feel grateful to Chris.
After picking up their own knights, they continued on their way.
This was the case for the next few cities, all of which were returned to the White Tiger Kingdom.
Until finally, they returned to the large city where they started - Tarot City.
"Pass my order and the whole army will enter the city to rest for two days."
