In the year 1251 of the valley calendar, in the dark region, thirty miles north of the city of Gerthorn.

The satellite city of Zeellandia has just laid a solid foundation in the collaboration of a hundred mages, a group of dwarves, and eight thousand miners.

In the center of the city, the tower of the sky, built according to the will of the Lord of Zelandia, with a slope of thirty-five degrees, also erected a 'pedestal'.

The names of those who died in the defensive battle of the beast tide five days ago were engraved on it for future generations to pay respects to.

Therefore, this tower is also known as ———

Zeellandia Hero Tower.

However, just today, a name that no one expected beforehand was carved by the old dwarf Tiger, one of the three pillars of Zeelandia, with a solemn expression.

Hogg Tiberius Gretania——— eternal lord of our Zeelandia!

And three days ago, accompanied by Fischer and Igger, Tiger announced the death of Lord Zeellandia in Zeellandia, in front of the gates of the Hogg Mining Company, in the incredulous eyes of 40,000 people.

At the same time, Tiger announced the temporary establishment of a Hoag Mining Shareholders' Council to stabilize the development of Hoag Mining and Zeellandia as a whole.

Although there was no exaggerated scene like wailing all over the field, after that, the atmosphere in the whole Zelandiania was indeed much lower.

Many miners who have lived here today still can't imagine that a powerful lord like Hogg would be gone.

It was a dragon in wolf's clothing!

Over the next few days, news of what was happening inside Nether's magical ship spread.

Naturally, this also includes the news that Sinea, the Shadow Queen of Gerthonn, was absent from the Council of the Mother of Lords, and that the Corrupt Lady of Ember City fell into a deep sleep.

It was not until this moment that ordinary people suddenly realized that even such an unimaginably powerful legend had been hit hard.

The fact that the legendary lord was martyred in a magic ship is not so difficult to accept.

Fortunately, since Levi came to Zeellandia five years ago, in addition to occasionally appearing a few times, he has basically been in a state of seclusion for a long time because of his deep sleep.

In terms of governance and order maintenance on the surface, the three pillars of the shareholders' council are in charge, and there was no big riot for a while.

It is seen that the newly established Hogg Mining Shareholders' Council has not made any large-scale policy adjustments, and there has been no sudden detriment of Didi miners' welfare.

Zelandia's army of miners suppressed their uneasiness for the time being.

Three days later, the funeral of Lord Hogg was officially held in the satellite city.

So in the midst of all the drow's solemn gaze, Zeellandia was almost empty, and all of them spontaneously came to admire it, and gathered outside the satellite city that had not yet had time to start construction.

At a glance, the black pressure is magnificent.

Since there were almost no flowers to be taken out of the dark region, and I don't know who started it first, these miners from Zeellandia, each holding a piece of ore they had mined, gently piled it in front of Hogg's mound, that is, the tower of the heroes of Zeellandia, and then mourned with solemn expressions.

So the funeral ceremony was only halfway through, and the south side of the newly erected pedestal of the Zeelandia Hero Tower was almost buried...

Tiger, who was speechless, was afraid that the boss who was sitting on his shoulder as a slime let out a depressed roar, causing the 'ore mountain' to collapse, and it would not be good if someone died.

had to pretend to be serious, and instructed the remaining miners to mourn in several other directions.

After all the mournings were completed, a somewhat level eulogy was issued.

And after swearing to uphold Lord Hogg's unwavering philosophy of developing the mining industry and continuing to seek benefits for the miners for a hundred years, he earned a wave of tears and a lot of joy.

Seeing that this grand funeral of Lord Zelandia came to an end, and the miners of Zelandia also retreated to the underground Zelandia in an orderly manner under the command of the security brigade, the drow elves of Gerthorne breathed a sigh of relief.

I know my own business.

After experiencing the battle of the beast tide that almost broke the city five days ago and the subsequent exploration of the Nether magic ship, the strength of Gerthorne City, whether it is the bottom, the middle level, or the upper level, has fallen to the bottom since the city was founded.

The Chief Wizard was struck by the 'Karthus' Heart of Stone Technique, and soon after using [Life Stagnation] to survive and return to Gerthorne, he was forced by his injuries and had no effective means of heart regeneration, so he had to choose to transform himself into a lich.

Due to the lack of time to prepare for the ceremony, coupled with the serious injury, not only did he not go further on the career path, but fell from level 23 to level 22.

Although the legendary crossbowman Ekaria was not a troublesome injury, the legendary weapon he relied on the most——— the Mountain Giant Crossbow was also taken away by the 'Karthus'.

Without that legendary weapon, it is also unknown whether her dazzling one-man archery skills can retain some power.

And Gelthorne's highest combat power, the Shadow Queen Sija, although she returned to Gelthorne alone the next day, did not have time to explain anything, so she locked herself in the bedroom alone, and never saw outsiders again.

Without the suppression of these three legends, there is a dark tide surging under the seemingly calm surface of the entire Gershorne!

Except for Disana, the second and fifth boy who is in the light of the 'Spider God Queen' faith but cares about the dark girl, almost all the top-ranked master mothers have set their eyes on the empty shadow throne of the master mother council.

And the master mother, who is not capable of coveting that position, also has to start thinking about the position of herself and her family, how to save herself and her family in the next clan battle, and even make her family rank one step closer.

At this time, Zeellandia, which has almost one-third of the population of Gelthorne, is an extremely crucial target.

Most crucially, the concubine of Deshana's little hooves, Hogg Tiberius, the former lord of Zeelandia, also died in the treacherous Nether magic ship.

Aha!

Because of this, there was also an episode during Hogg's funeral that made people laugh and cry.

That is, as the head mother of the Jadir family, Deshana, acted as if she was Hogg's official wife, and actually came to Hogg's funeral in a solemn black dress.

What Zhuoer didn't expect was that she suddenly broke down on the way to mourn and began to cry.

This... It's embarrassing...

And Zeellandia's attitude towards Deshana is also very interesting to the Drows.

Among them, Tiger still showed a high level of courtesy to Disana, and personally comforted and comforted her.

And Iggy, who has been in seclusion for many years, did not say a word about this, and did not show any tendencies.

But Fisher, who is the head of the War Law Regiment, openly denounced Dishana for being shameless, and even a plaything dared to come up to attract people's attention, which was really embarrassing.

These words simply spoke to the hearts of all Drow, and they all coaxed to denounce Deshana's shamelessness.

And the faint disagreement of the three pillars of Zelandia and the different attitudes towards Dishana were naturally reported to the ears of the masters and mothers of each family.

Thereupon... Fisher, the head of the Battle Tactics Regiment, has become the next key strategic target of the Drows.

Whoever can take him down is almost equivalent to mastering the most important battle method of Zelandia!

......

After the curtain came down on Hogg's grand funeral, outside the Hogg Mining rooftop conference room.

Poof.

Just now, he was still in high spirits in front of people, but at this moment, he was a bright red lip print, and as soon as he knelt down outside the conference hall, he was forcibly dragged back by a group of monks chasing after him:

"Commander, your mission is not over yet! Why are you back! You have to spend the night in Gerthorne today!"

"Commander, you just listen to our advice! Except for the fact that their skin is a little darker, they are all as beautiful as flowers, so you can leave!"

"Commander, I beg you! Just sacrifice yourself! If you fail to complete the task, our performance bonus for this month will be gone!"

And Fisher, who was full of big men and only showed a big bald head, stretched out his hand to the door of the conference hall, and wailed with tears in his eyes:

"No, let me in! You can't sell me like that!

"I never thought the boss meant that! No!

"I have worked hard for the company, I have shed blood for the boss! I want to see the boss! I want to see the boss!!"

I don't know who had the courage to take a look at the suggestion: "I think it's better to be stunned first, and then fill a bottle of energy potion and throw it back to Gelthorne City." ”

"Damn! It's so poisonous, who's going to do it?"

"Bang!"

“......”

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Fei She, who had a swollen head and didn't know the corners of his mouth, was forcibly dragged down by his masters and sold to the Drows.

.....

Behind the door, Levi, who was standing at the end of the long table in the form of a Carvins ratman, touched his long beard, looked at the subordinates who were silent and unbearable, rolled his eyes and said:

"If you sympathize with him, might as well go to another one? Tiger or you Iggy?"

The two bosses of Zeellandia suddenly turned pale, and hurriedly waved their hands, looking like I was not familiar with Fischer at all.

"Then don't put on such a grievance look! I wondered, isn't Fei Bald usually yearning for Zhuo'er? This time let him be ordered to shoot Zhuo'er and still not happy! If Fei She makes a mistake, this month's benefits will be halved!"

The management at the bottom of the long table shuddered, and then left behind the head of the Tactics of War, who had been sacrificed to Drow.

Levi nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his little paw: "The meeting continues!"

I saw that on the big blackboard behind me, a ppt title was projected by the master behind the scenes with light and shadow:

Zeelandia's development plan for the next 10 years.
