Chris thought for a while and said: "First of all, I want you to mobilize the knights in the country to search for traces of the Black Dragon Palace or black magicians as much as possible. Once found, kill them all. If you encounter enemies that cannot be dealt with, report to me immediately.
.”
I'm sure there are special areas like Mist City in the surrounding countries. It's like a time bomb buried at the doorstep.
If Chris wants to create a safe zone centered on the Blazing Dragon Kingdom, he must erase these unstable factors.
"Okay." Bowen agreed.
Fred also echoed: "No problem."
All five kings behaved obediently. Anyway, their own interests were not threatened and there was no need to resist.
Chris continued: "Second point, I will send someone to transport a batch of artillery, hot air balloons and clay bombs to you, so that as many knights as possible can learn how to operate them."
After he was promoted to the eighth level, he decided to expand to the mainland. By then, relying solely on the original knights of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom was definitely not enough, and he would need to supplement his military resources from the subordinate countries.
As long as the gunpowder formula is tightly controlled and not leaked, even if the gun barrel and hot air balloon are copied, there will be no big problem.
The five kings all showed surprised expressions. They had already seen these powerful weapons on the battlefield. If they were themselves, they would definitely hide them well.
But as for Chris, he actually wants knights like them from the vassal country to learn manipulation skills?
No matter what, agree first and then talk.
Bowen and others nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will definitely let them practice harder."
Chris said: "Last point, after all, I started this war. To express my apology, all of you knights who participated in the war can receive a gold coin as compensation."
His idea is very simple, that is, spend money to buy prestige.
Nowadays, Chris's net worth has exceeded one million gold coins, and he can't spend it all in a short time. The piles of them are just beautiful metals, so they might as well make the best use of them.
Moreover, the number of knights participating in the war was only around 100,000 at most, so it didn't cost much, just a drizzle.
The five kings were all stunned. Did I hear you correctly? If you lose the battle, it would be good if you don’t pay compensation. Can you still get compensation?
Looking at the entire continent, there are strange things that have never happened before.
"But -" Chris changed the subject, "This money cannot pass through your hands. I will send someone to distribute it. I hope you will cooperate."
He was not that stupid to give the money to the king and then walk away.
If the money given by Chris is embezzled by them, he will not be able to gain reputation, and the money will be wasted.
Bowen immediately set an example: "Don't worry, I promise to cooperate with your work. You will receive as much as you deserve, and no one will receive an extra copper plate."
"Okay, let me tell you these things." Chris walked out the door, "I will send someone over later."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
The five Bowen men breathed a long sigh of relief. Their energy had been highly concentrated, for fear that they would make a mistake and cause the other party to be dissatisfied.
At this time, someone from the coalition nobles asked: "Your Majesty, what is going on?"
"We are now all tributaries of the Blazing Dragon Kingdom." Bao En said with a wry smile.
There were bursts of uproar from the nine marquises.
"Hans, come here and pinch me to see if I'm dreaming."
"Why?"
Bowen said word for word: "Because we lost."
"You mean that none of your five majesties could defeat Chris?"
Bowen nodded and confirmed: "Yes."
The marquis felt that their cognition had collapsed.
It's possible to beat level 7 to level 8 and still be able to fight against five. Who would dare to believe this?
Everyone is at the seventh level, why is the gap so big?
Bowen said with difficulty: "Chris's fighting ability is beyond imagination, especially the last blow. If we didn't admit defeat in time, we don't know how many of us would be left."
The allied nobles felt their bodies were cold, and they were shocked speechless by this breaking news.
No wonder the little king dared to walk into the palace arrogantly. It turned out that he had such confidence.
My own country has become a vassal state for no reason. Even if these marquises usually have an indifferent attitude, they feel very uncomfortable at this time.
"Well, we don't have to be so pessimistic." Bowen said, "At least, Chris didn't ask us to do anything that harmed our own interests, and even gained benefits, which means that he is a benevolent monarch.
, we won’t suffer any loss if we follow him.”
Bowen asked himself, if he had that kind of terrifying strength and defeated several kings at the same time, he would definitely squeeze them to gain benefits for himself.
But Chris didn't do that, and was exactly the opposite.
Bowen is really impressed.
King Blue Bird suddenly said: "I want to understand why Chris asked the knights of our country to learn how to use artillery and hot air balloons."
"Why?" In the hall, everyone's eyes were focused on him, waiting for the next step.
King Blue Bird explained: "Because we are not his end, but the beginning, and he will expand to the continent."
"According to rumors, he has had conflicts with a black magician organization since he first started, and he may also have some grudges with the Black Dragon Palace. Therefore, he can only fight against the Black Dragon Palace by gathering more power."
The kings were thoughtful, but a marquis still jumped out and asked: "But he is so high-profile, what if he attracts the attention of the two empires?"
King Blue Bird smiled and said: "Isn't there the hot air balloon and the artillery? With these two powerful weapons, the combat effectiveness of the army can be raised to a higher level."
"Furthermore, the relationship between the two empires is very delicate. They compete secretly and allocate part of their strength to guard against the Black Dragon Palace. If a new powerful force emerges, no one will dare to take action rashly."
"So, now is an excellent time to birth a new empire, but no one has this ability before."
Bowen asked in surprise: "You mean, Chris is about to establish the third empire on the continent?"
"Our five countries, plus the Shadow Leopard Kingdom, White Tiger Kingdom, etc., the total land area is almost half of the Light Empire. Isn't this the prototype of a new empire?" King Bluebird asked.
After fighting with Chris, he completely thought about it.
"That's true." Bowen found that it was indeed the case.
King Jade Bird said with admiration: "With his talent and strength, it may not be long before he becomes one of the top powerhouses on the continent and a powerful backer for the new empire."
