Chapter 82: "Recruitment"

Werewolf Watson's move left Milia and Lester dumbfounded.

What's going on? Isn't there no fight yet? How did this werewolf already surrender to Cross?

Milia and Lester's minds went blank, and they couldn't figure out why this was happening.

At this time, Milia suddenly whispered to herself, "Soul suppression......"

Lester was shocked to hear these words, and after holding back his shock, he accepted the fact.

Soul suppression, this is an ability that only demons have.

When the demon encounters a weak species, it uses soul suppression to attack the weak species with its own powerful soul, this ability is imperceptible to the naked eye, and it is beyond the perception range of all five senses, therefore, soul suppression is also called a sixth sense attack, an invisible attack.

Such attacks can only be perceived by necromancers who are soul-savvy and certain druids who are at one with nature, but even if these beings can sense soul suppression, they are powerless to stop it.

This is also the reason why the werewolf succumbed so quickly, the werewolf felt the incomparably strong power of Cross, and he didn't want to do any struggle.

Thinking of this, Milia's heart inadvertently fluctuated again, it took a lot of thought and some price to catch this werewolf, but now, this werewolf gave in so quickly! This made her frustrated, but when she thought that Cross was the Silver-Eyed Demon King, this frustration disappeared.

Oh, yes...... On this continent, there is no existence that can face the Silver-Eyed Demon King directly, let alone a werewolf, and even Milia's own performance is not the same.

Miria had never been so respectful and humble to a human she had just met......

It's just that if this can be exchanged for Cross's kindness, it will also be worth it.

Demon...... Do you have good intentions!!

The more Miria thought about it, the more anxious she became, and at that moment, Cross spoke, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Excellency Prince Lester. ”

Hearing this, Miria and Lester didn't react for a while, yes, both of them fell into endless reverie and speculation about Cross.

Seeing that the two Bloods were unresponsive, Cross continued, "It's time for me to go. ”

Miria snapped back to her senses, "Yes, Count Cross, let's go now." ”

Accompanied by Milia and Lester, Cross leaves the underground block.

Before leaving, Cross received a ring from Miria. This ring is called the Blood Ring. On the silver setting is a transparent gemstone in the shape of a droplet, and inside the gemstone is a drop of red blood.

Miria tells Cross that this is a symbol of the status of the Count of the Underground Block, and with this ring, he can enter and exit the Underground Block at will, and finally, Milia also asks Cross to keep the truth about the Underground Block's rule as a Bloodline.

......

After sending Close out safely, both Milia and Lester breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, will Count Cross ever come back?"

"I don't know, but there's one thing we have to deal with. ”

"I'll deal with it as soon as possible. ”

"I'll go with you, we can't let the Silver-Eyed Demon King know that we're holding the demon, and if he finds out, we'll be completely destroyed. ”

"Her Majesty is wise!"

......

Upon returning to Sunset City, Watson reverted back to his human form, while Cross spent his time in the bazaar buying slaves and tools.

A total of 53 slaves, of which 39 are males and 14 are females, these are all selected by Cross, especially the men, who are relatively tall and have no signs of weakness and disease in terms of body, even if these people are very thin now, they can be adjusted to become quite strong men.

As for women, Cross also chose to be healthy, and in the early days of the town's construction, women also needed to do manual work.

The tools he bought included hoes, axes, shovels, forks, and sickles.

At the same time, he also bought a large amount of leather armor and a lot of grain, as well as dozens of chickens.

These things cost him almost all the gold dragon coins, and then he rented a few more carriages, loaded them on, and put the coachman on standby at the gates of Sunset City.

Immediately afterward, Cross took Watson and a large number of slaves to Dragon's Landing.

The guards at the gate of Longlin Fort saw Cross and immediately went in to report.

Soon, the lord of Sunset City, Sander, came out to greet him.

"Lord Cross. Sander saluted politely, but his hatred for Cross did not diminish in the slightest, and this time, when he saw that Cross had bought so many slaves, jealousy rose in his heart.

"Is Cressia there?"

Cross didn't say hello to Sander, let alone salute, and came up to ask Cressia, which made Sander even more unhappy.

"They've just made their way to the mountains of Solar. Although Sander was angry, he couldn't show it, he replied honestly.

"I see, then you give me those Hofers, I'm going back to Copperhill Town. ”

Shander looked at the sky, it was only afternoon. Cresia had told Sander that he had to wait until evening before Cross could take the Hofers away.

There's a reason for Cresia's explanation, she doesn't want the inhabitants of Sunset City to know that this place is hiding subhumans, and once the inhabitants know about it, she fears that her rule will be affected.

Of course, Sander didn't think of Cressia's thoughts, and he didn't ask why, he just had to follow orders.

So, Shander asked, "Now?"

"Yes, right now. ”

Shander wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was the best option to let Cross take those Hofel talents now.

He wants everyone in Sunset City to know that Cross has a good relationship with the subhumans, so that the residents of Sunset City will greatly reduce their admiration for Cross, after all, in his opinion, no human will accept the subhumans.

Moreover, if Cressia had asked at that time, he could have said that Cross had forcibly asked to take those Hoffers away in the afternoon.

Sander thinks it's a good deal to deal with this, not only to reduce Cross's prestige, but also to deal with the subhumans hiding inside Dragon's Castle, so of course he has to do it as soon as possible.

"Well, Lord Cross is so anxious to get those sub-people, I can't refuse anymore. ”

Immediately afterward, Sander ordered the guards to release the Hofer.

The guard opened the door to the cellar and shouted inside.

However, Cross didn't notice any movement.

It took about a few minutes for a round head to poke out of the cellar door.
