Cross's conversation with Reinhardt was not a secret one, and everyone around him could hear it clearly.

Sander, in particular, was now jealous and hateful of Cross, and he was jealous that Cross could come up with the safest strategy for Reinhardt in such a short period of time.

He hated that Cross could get Reinhardt's help, and even, that Cross didn't have to pay any price to get the rich town of Blackwater, which was something that Sander never dreamed of.

However, he really wanted Cross to get Blackwater, because getting Blackwater meant facing the army of the Seatta Kingdom.

Not only Sander, but Cresia was also looking forward to how Cross would resist the kingdom's armies and single-handedly wipe out a thousand armies, or fight with the help of the subhuman forces in favorable terrain?

For this military wizard in Reinhardt's mouth, Cressia also had another level of curiosity.

Only Nia doesn't want Cross to get Blackwater, and if she gets Blackwater, she has to defend it, and if she can't hold it, Blackwater will be devastated again, and she doesn't want to see her hometown be ravaged by wars repeatedly.

As for Cross himself, of course he doesn't want Blackwater, he can't resist the army of Seayada, and he doesn't have a head-on conflict with the Kingdom of Seaa.

However, once Blackwater falls into the hands of the enemy, the future of Copperhill is completely over, and he can't let things go in this direction, and at the same time, he still has to show Reinhardt his weaknesses.

"Lord Earl, I do want Blackwater, but ......"

Seeing Cross's hesitation, Reinhardt didn't want to delay any longer, and directly took out the killer idea, "Your Excellency Cross, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, the food that William promised you is still in Blackwater Town." ”

Cross was taken aback, then smiled, "Lord Earl, since this is the case, then I will no longer pretend to refuse, I will definitely do my best to defend Blackwater Town." ”

Those grains were the guarantee of Copperhill to survive the cold winter, and Cross didn't expect Reinhardt to use those grains as a final weight.

"Sir Cross, I am relieved if you say that. ”

With that, Reinhardt drew his sword again and handed it to Cross.

"Your Excellency, I will leave a few defenders in Blackwater, and when they see this sword, they will know that you are the new lord of Blackwater I appointed, and they will help you protect Blackwater.

Also, I'll call those blacksmiths right away, and they'll be your people. ”

After Reinhardt finished speaking, he turned to Shander and thanked him, "Viscount Shande, thank you very much, without your words, I would not have seen His Excellency Cross." ”

Sander was so angry that he almost jumped off his horse, but how dare he mess around in front of Reinhardt, he covered his chest with his right hand, and said, "Count Reinhardt, I have arranged for a servant to prepare a sumptuous luncheon for you, if you don't mind, please come with me to Longlin Castle to taste the delicious food together." ”

"I'm sorry, Viscount Sander, but I'd love to dine with you. ”

"Poof~" Nia and Cresia couldn't help but laugh. Shande looked embarrassed.

Reinhardt opened his arms to give Cross a parting hug before leaving, but the latter did not refuse. They knew that the first meeting between the two would most likely be the last.

Reinhardt then left Sunset City. For Cross, Reinhardt did not let his guard down, however, at the moment, he just wanted to conquer the Borean Fortress as soon as possible.

Shander returned to Longlin Fort angrily, today's incident made the hatred in his heart that had been annihilated by Cross rekindle, and he was ready to make Cross lose face next.

......

After talking to Reinhardt, Cross realized the urgency of the situation.

He immediately borrowed a few small boats from Cresia, and then asked Nia to take six blacksmiths, and Reinhardt's saber had already returned to Copperhill first.

And asked Nia to tell Gawain and Lancelot, and asked the two of them to take a boat to Blackwater Town with their swords immediately, and then transport the supplies to Copperhill Town, and if they were unfortunate enough to encounter Seajarda's army, they would abandon the supplies and retreat to Copperhill Town.

Cross had no intention of defending Blackwater at all, he knew that once Seatta's army attacked, Blackwater would never be able to defend it, and he would not waste resources to do such a stupid thing. And he promised Reinhardt to guard Blackwater, just so that he could get the food.

Blackwater is indeed a strategically important location, but Cross won't have any thoughts about it right now. He needs time to build up quality, and he needs opportunities even more.

As for Cross himself, he headed for the fairgrounds of Sunset City. He also needs to hurry up now, he also has to return to Tongshan Town as soon as possible, the current situation is changing rapidly, and it is precisely because of this that he has to stay in Tongshan Town.

Cross had a hunch that the opportunity was coming.

Cross walked fast, and the roadside stalls moved backwards as fast as they could, and in addition to the stalls, there were also some bards and entertainers who performed the show, and he couldn't help but sigh once again at the prosperity of Sunset City.

Soon, he was in the market of Sunset City.

The bazaar is one of the most intensive places for information exchange in a city, and this feature of the market is even more prominent in the prosperous sunset city.

Moreover, he learned from the tavern owner Hart last night that there is a black market under the market in Sunset City.

Not only does the black market get more information, but the slaves there are not only humans, but also subhumans.

This black market is where Cross really wants to go.

However, this place is not so easy to get into.
