Chapter 882: All or Nothing
Probably didn't expect this Thun city lord to answer like this, at this time, after staring at Li Ran for a long time, the king suddenly smiled and said, "Very good!" It's a pity that when you came for the first time, I didn't see you, otherwise the situation would not be like this, forget it, I believe you can see it now, since being cursed by the dragon, my body has been dragging on until now, you can return safely this time, and your strength has increased greatly, I heard Thortaylor also tell you about your deeds, I hope that with the help of heroes like you, our empire can be stable and prosperous for a long time"
After saying so many words in one breath, the old king seemed to be tired, and paused for a long time, and then opened his eyes again under the gaze of the crowd, and then, to his surprise, he suddenly called the attendant behind him, and with the help of the attendant, the king actually stood up from the bed.

At the king's command, the attendants hurriedly put on the crown and handed him a scepter that sparkled with various precious stones and symbolized the king's glory.
Next, with great difficulty, even with the help of the military and political chief Tol Taylor, he lifted the scepter, put it on Li Ran's shoulder, and said: "In order to make up for the mistake of the last time, I give you the name of the hero Terres today, and the title of marquis, so that you can receive the soldiers of a domain!" A bounty of five million, a heart of a high city, three treasures of the Imperial Treasury, a team of Templars who follow the guards, and two sacrifices in the Hall of Glory, I only hope that you will be able to perform immortal deeds for the Empire in the future"
I didn't expect the old king to give such a heavy reward, not to mention the bounty, the treasure, and the heart of sending troops to the city, these are all things outside the body, what they didn't expect is that this city lord of Thun has just been made an earl, and at this moment he was directly crowned a marquis by the king, which is a major event that has never been seen in the empire in the past ten years, and even the military and political chief Thor Taylor and the Marquis of Pamela are looking at this king with some surprise at this moment.
But none of this is as important in their minds as the last one comes, the sacrifice of the Hall of Glory! It is a major event involving the luck of a country, connecting the gods to theoretically obtain whatever they want by sacrificing items with divinity, of course, the quality of the things they want is determined by the number and quality of the sacrifices, which is the so-called Hero's Hall Sacrifice.
And in a simpler way, this so-called sacrifice in the Hall of Heroes is a process of bartering, but this time it is a transaction with God, and the object of the transaction is naturally the god that the king has always believed in and maintained a connection with, of course, this connection is not necessarily the god itself, but more likely just one of his many doppelgangers, or spokesmen and oracles.
But even so, in order to maintain such a channel, in addition to a certain amount of faith power, it also requires a lot of capital investment, as we all know that the Khan Rock Empire is not a large empire, it is very difficult to maintain such a channel, and every sacrifice, in addition to the cost of the sacrifice itself, the process itself is a huge negative for the empire.
It may be that for the outside world, many people don't know about the Hall of Glory, but as the highest military and political governor of the empire and a Marquis of Pamela who has something to do with the king, they naturally know all this, and only on the most important days in the past, the king will try to exchange some things through the Hall of Glory, such as the most famous rainbow defense system in the capital, the battle angels around the king, and even why the king has been able to survive until now after being cursed by the dragon, it is all exchanged through this way of sacrifice.
So far, there are three dukes, thirteen marquises, and thirty-seven counts in the Khan Lock Empire, thousands of viscounts, and countless barons, but there are not even ten who are actually allowed to enter the Hall of Glory to sacrifice, and among them, even the Marquis of Pamela who was present at this time.
But for this lord of Thun, who is now the Marquis of Terres, the king actually gave him two opportunities to enter the Hall of Glory at once, which was the first time in the history of the empire, which made the military and political governors Thortaylor and the Marquis of Pamela can't help but wonder if the king is really sick and confused.
However, the next moment, when the two of them saw the light that symbolized the success and glory of the canonization falling on the body of this city lord of Thun, this person, who should have been grateful, raised his head and looked at the king, and the eyes of each other were a little strange, the two of them seemed to understand something.
Although he didn't say it, the king once again took advantage of the city lord of Thun, and put him on the cusp of the most dangerous time at this most dangerous time, setting up a roadblock behind his heir or his own forces, and all he paid was some things outside his body and the power in his hands.
But for Li Ran, who was used as a roadblock, because of the previous events, he could only hope to survive by cooperating with him now, and if he received these rewards, he would have to endure more threats and conspiracies than before.
If he was just a dispensable soldier in a gladiatorial fight before, when the forces represented by Duke Knoll recruited him, they saw that his willingness was not too high, and it happened that he had some good things in his hands, so he casually asked his subordinates to kill this person and bring things over.
However, this creep is lucky, although the things were robbed, but when he escaped, he picked up some good things, but no matter where such a creep is, the leader of the other party representing one side of the force will not care too much, after all, in their opinion, these are all small people who can be destroyed at any time, so this creep has a chance to live a little longer.
But when this soldier also becomes a leader and gathers a group of people, then he will definitely become the first target that all forces want to destroy, and the only hope for survival of this soldier at this time is to defeat everyone, and the danger is obvious.
But at this time, Li Ran had no way out, from the moment he saw the king, and even from the moment the king asked the waiter to help him up, Li Ran knew that his path had been decided by the king who seemed to be going to fall at any time, but was still domineering.
However, Li Ran did not regret all this, maybe even this king did not know, in fact, the moment Li Ran stood up in front of the Marquis of Pamela outside the palace, he had already made the biggest bet in his heart so far, and this bet was the hope of dozens of teammates, the lives of millions of residents and the glory of more than 300,000 soldiers!
