The autumn wind has risen, and the Hagetsu Plain is gradually dyed yellow, and the winding road extends to the end of the plain.

The clouds rippled in the sky, and the glow fell, reflecting the battlefield below.

A mournful wail melts into the autumn colors, and a bright red stream flows down the yellow-stained Hagetsu Plain.

Caterina looked down at the nobleman who was kneeling on the ground, and a look of sarcasm appeared in her eyes.

"Do I smell fear?"

The snow-white-haired nobleman heard the sarcastic words, and slowly raised his head, the slight scars covered his face, and a little blood soaked his skin, looking a little frightened.

"Damn it, you rebels..... I will watch your demise in Hell. ”

"Hehe, hell? Ridiculous words. Caterina chuckled softly and said nonchalantly.

Mercy is an original sin.

Showing mercy to the weak is against nature.

Especially the weak who are facing despair and don't choose their words, she has seen too much, and the final outcome is nothing more than death.

"Still insisting, let me think, are you stalling for time?"

Caterina looked thoughtfully at the bloody battlefield that was about to end, where a soldier named the Ominous Blade Legion was reaping the lives of all those who fled.

The smell of blood wafted through the air, stimulating her sensitive senses and igniting her murderous mood.

"Hmm, you want to wait for support from the Temple of Power?"

Caterina gently swung the dagger in her hand, and viscous blood splattered onto the grass.

Her eyes lowered, she looked down at the trembling old nobleman at her feet, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "But those heirs of yours can't support it anymore." ”

"It's coming to an end, the sordid fate of you and your family."

"Even if we die, we will not give in!" The old nobleman stubbornly raised his neck, and there was no fear in his expression.

"Strength will protect me......."

Poof!

The sharp dagger swirled in the air, a streak of blood blooming.

Caterina held the severed head lightly, and the moment of surprise on that old face was mixed with disbelief.

With a 'bang', the corpse in gorgeous clothes collapsed and fell to the damp red grass. Asxs. dotted blood, staining her boots red.

"Greetings to you, Lord Modrian."

Caterina held her head aloft to admire the horrified and stunned expression, and then her eyes turned slightly to the panic-filled killing battlefield.

Fear is not inferior to any dagger weapon, let them see, let the rumors spread, and finally end this leisurely hunt mission.

The bloody slaughter ended, leaving countless mutilated corpses behind.

"Lord Katerina, the scouts of the Fadilha Kingdom have been found at the border." The blood-colored shadow distorted, and the Shadowstream stepped out of it, kneeling down on one knee and saying.

The Feather Moon Plain, the border area of the Stoke Kingdom, a hundred and ten miles to the south, you can see the territory of the Fadilha Kingdom.

"Did you cross the border?" Caterina looked at the Legionnaires of the Ominous Blade cleaning the battlefield, finishing off their lives.

"No, look at them, like they're waiting for something." The Shadowstream replied.

"Then leave them alone." Caterina withdrew her gaze and looked to the southeast. "Our task is to deal with all the rebels."

"Okay." The Shadowcaster faded into the shadows and disappeared without a trace.

Caterina deliberately waited for a while, but did not wait for the soldiers of the Fadilha Kingdom, and finally sighed in disappointment and led the soldiers of the Ominous Blade Legion to leave this battlefield.

Although the Valoran Territory maintains a state of trade cooperation with the surrounding kingdom forces, it is constantly making small moves in secret, testing their own reality and reality.

During her time in the Southern Province, Caterina had already confronted the Scout spies of the Fadilha Kingdom several times, maintaining a complete victory.

As for the remaining battlefield wreckage here, there will be special people to clean it up.

......

......

【Ding...... The kingdom storm is over, and the kingdom of Stoke has completely fallen into the hands of Valoran! 】

[Temporary Mission: The Abruptly Changed Kingdom of Stoke, Successfully Completed!] 】

【Reward: Wheel of Fortune*1】

[Evaluation: This is a kingdom game, Valoran is the victor, and he is about to become the new master!] 】

The cold system prompt sounded quietly, and Modrian stopped, and after carefully browsing the system information, his expression was clear.

The southern province of the Kingdom of Stoke is the most prosperous region of the kingdom, and there are many eyes and ears of other forces, who are active in the province under different identities.

It is also for this reason that after taking control of Limontanlu, Valoran deliberately focused part of his focus on the southern provinces to clean up the hidden spies.

"So it looks like Robbery and Caterina have cleaned up all the hidden spies."

As early as the end of the Radiant Day, Modrian sent Shadowstream and the Ominous Blade Legion to assist the Dalles in pacifying the nobility of the kingdom and purging the diehards.

"The Wheel of Fortune?"

With a slight movement of consciousness, Modrian looked at the [Item] on the system panel, and a delicate gray-and-white card was flashing inside.

Before he could continue to observe, another sound of system improvement sounded.

【Ding...... The curtain is rising, and Valoran's first act is perfect! 】

[Main Quest: The Rise of Valoran Lord, successfully completed!] 】

【Reward: Freljord Hero Card*1】

[Evaluation: A new chapter begins, and the journey of the blood of the gods stains the Valoran Territory red, which is worth recording.] 】

"What's going on?"

Modrian's brow furrowed slightly, and his heart was full of suspicion.

After completing the temporary mission and the main quest one after another, he didn't have any excitement, but smelled a touch of unease.

The azure blue hero card danced on his fingertips, and Modrian's concentration was slightly, this was the first time that the system gave a hero card to a designated faction.

"Freljord!"

Unlike the rest of Valoran, Freljord is a harsh, cruel and unforgiving land, where the heroes born are all powerful and inherently powerful.

Modri stood quietly and waited, he was used to the system, he would not just release the mission completion information, there must be additional tasks announced.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin and Pan Sen behind them silently scattered on both sides, guarding Modrian.

Soon, the fortress of Lakstak also entered a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside, and the wide street began to be under martial law, and many elite legionnaires appeared around.

【Ding...... Main quest released! 】

[Main Quest: The Rising Empire!] 】

[Mission time: 3 years]

【Reward: ??? 】

[Description: It's time to build your own home for yourself and your heroes, and it's the foundation of your foothold in this world.] 】

Seems to be a hallucination? Modrian heard a different emotion from this cold system prompt, different from all the previous ones.

High? Complacent? Intense?

But these were not the main points and did not attract his full attention.

Ignoring the system prompt, Modrian stared at the flickering main quest on the system panel, and his expression was extremely solemn: "The Rising Empire? ”

"Is it finally this point?"

"Build your own empire and imprint Valoran's mark."

"It's just, mission duration: three years?"

Modrian raised his eyebrows, now Valoran has full control of the territory of the Stoke Kingdom, not to mention that the country can be established immediately, but with the assistance of Svein and others, the time can be shortened as much as possible, and it will not take three years at all.

This is also where he wonders, the system will not give such plenty of time for no reason, there must be something going on that he does not know about.
