Hearing William's voice, the crowd stopped talking, and consciously moved out of the way.

William, accompanied by two guards, walked up to Cross, covered his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly, and said, "Hunter of Blackwater, young warrior, your strength and courage are admirable, and you have contributed to the rescue of Blackwater.

For such a meritorious act, I only reward you with some land, and I really can't say it.

Now that Crane has Joey's usurpation inside and Seatta on the outside, this is your chance for a warrior like you to shine.

I want you to be my subordinate and work with me and Viscount Reinhardt to sweep away the chaos in the Klein Territory and bring peace to the people of the Klein Territory.

Of course, I'll give you a bigger reward.

If you say yes, Blackwater is yours. ”

William's tone was full of confidence, and he was very sure about making Cross a subordinate.

In his opinion, no one would refuse such an invitation, and no one would refuse a town's reward.

It's just that the person who heard this was Cross, how could he be willing to be someone else's subordinate, William's line would only make Cross feel ridiculous, he opened his eyes, stood up, and said to William, "Do you know me? ”

When he saw those silver eyes, William's eyes widened in surprise as if he saw a monster, and even his voice began to tremble, "Ke...... Cross ...... Klein ......"

William was indeed shocked by the true identity of the Blackwater Hunter.

Although Count Thor Crane is dead, and although Cross is only an adopted son, Joey's usurpation and the chaos of Crane Territory give Cross a chance to ascend to the throne, and it is a legitimate opportunity to ascend to the throne.

How could such a person with such a background be subservient to others.

What's more, there have been more and more rumors about 'Cross is the hope of Klein' recently, and even his soldiers have begun to talk about it.

People of such prestige are even more reluctant to be subservient.

William regretted what he had just said, and he was anxious to say something to save the day, but he found that he couldn't even say a word.

He was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would become Cross's enemy.

William definitely didn't want to be an enemy of Cross! Even if Cross had no power, with William's current troops, he would not be an opponent for Cross alone.

What's more, Cross also has a monster-like female attendant.

Not to speak, to speak less, to offend Cross less, is William's decision now.

Thinking of this, he began to secretly rejoice that he had not insulted and attacked this "hunter of Blackwater Town" before.

At this moment, the two guards beside him immediately bowed their heads after a moment of surprise, "Lord Cross." ”

As for the group of people behind the three people, like William, they were surprised by the revelation of Cross's true identity.

Seeing the reaction of the people around him, Cross secretly laughed, in his opinion, except for William's two guards, the rest of William's troops were not qualified soldiers, and they did not have the most basic psychological qualities as soldiers. Even if these people became Cross's enemies in the future, he would be able to defeat them easily.

However, Cross is not here to make enemies by revealing his identity this time, and it is extremely foolish to establish enemies before he has a firm foothold. The reason why he wanted to show his strength in front of William's troops was just to make William and his men understand that they must not go against Cross Crane.

Of course, Cross not only wants to play a deterrent role, he also hopes to use this opportunity to initially establish a positive image among these people, and lay the foundation for the future capture of Blackwater.

In addition, he wanted to use this opportunity to make friends with William's forces. He knew very well that in the early stage of the development of power, what was most needed was peace and stability, and with William as an ally, then the waterway trade from Tongshan Town to Blackwater Town would not be blocked. As a result, the town of Tongshan was able to achieve further development.

Even, because of his friendly relationship with William, he can become Reinhardt's ally by the way. If Reinhardt can support him, then Cross's new forces will have a strong military guarantee.

For Reinhardt, Cross has a pretty high rating.

Viscount Reinhardt was an elite of the Imperial Military Academy, he possessed considerable military talent, and at the same time, he inherited his father's title and possessed considerable military resources. As for how much ambition he has, Cross won't care for a short time.

Cross only hoped that Reinhardt would not be his enemy, if not his friend. He didn't want to face an opponent who was too strong in the early stages of building his power.

Therefore, making friends with William's forces is a necessary action.

Cross looked at William with a smile and said, "Viscount William, are you so surprised to see me?"

After William calmed down a little, he quickly gathered his thoughts and replied, "Your Excellency Cross, your courage and strength have indeed surprised me, I'm afraid, you will become the strongest warrior in the empire. ”

"For the sake of peace in Klein Collar, we just did what we had to do. ”

Hearing this, William breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Yes, I have already suffered a lot of losses in order to eliminate the scavenging beasts in Blackwater Town, and I have done a good job.

"Viscount William. Cross spoke again.

"In. William snapped back his thoughts.

"You need to protect Blackwater, and you can't let the Seattians do that kind of crazy behavior anymore. ”

"Yes! I ...... Will take care of this place......"

William's words were somewhat unrelenting, and his troops had been underwhelmed by years of recuperation, a problem that had been exposed in this battle to hunt the scavengers. He even began to worry about whether his troops would be up to the task of supplying the rebels.

For example, this battle in Blackwater Town was not planned. According to the original plan, William only needed to send supplies to Blackwater. But it was precisely because of the invasion of foreign enemies that the entire Klein Territory became more chaotic, so William's forces, as a supply team, also had to consider their own strength. Now William, he needs a helper.

William secretly glanced at Cross, he had a small calculation in his heart, he was ready to give some soldiers to Cross, let Cross recapture the Castle of Immortality, and recognize Clos as the lord of the Castle of Immortality, so that Clos would become a solid ally of William.

However, William can't say the plan so directly, he needs to take it step by step, "Lord Cross, where are you going next?"

"Copper Mountain Town. ”
