Chapter Ninety-Four: Cologne
The city lord looked at Ding Lei, hoping to find a hint of other signals from his expression, "You said save me?" Save the city of Cologne? ”
The words were a bit unconvincing, the city lord knew that the Black Knight in front of him had a lot of strength, from the previous Bat Demon, to the super wars in the suburbs, and the undead commotion even earlier, this Black Eagle Knight named Addo had always shown unparalleled power.

What's more, he also has a rare noble quality, treating people without being humble or arrogant, like a true nobleman, although his ordinary knight's armor shows his low-end origin, but all the way down, both the people in the city and himself, feel that this is a qualified hero.
is a big hero who can be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
But now, no matter how powerful a hero is, he can't stand up to thousands of troops!
"You're not kidding, are you? They are ...... on three routes."
"Hehe, you think too much, I'm not alone to fight."
"Hoo ......"
The city lord breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time realized that the hero on the other side really had a way!
Then he said excitedly, "Can you talk about it?" ”
"My friend, the head of the Golden Eagle, remember?" Ding Lei looked at him and asked.
The city lord stood up with a slam and said loudly, "You mean! Will the Golden Eagle Commander send troops to support me? He...... How many are he going to send? ”
"Don't get excited, he didn't plan to send troops."
Ding Lei's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flame of hope that the city lord had just ignited.
"Arthur, there are two paths in front of you now, one is waiting for the robbers to come and make you a hell on earth, even if you can get through it, you will eventually become their ATM."
"And what about the second one?!" The city lord asked eagerly.
"Take refuge in a powerful force."
"I want to too! But no one ......"
"Now there's it!" After Ding Lei finished speaking, he stared at him directly.
The city lord looked at him and said slowly, "...... Head of the Golden Eagle ?...... Does he have the ability? ”
Ding Lei smiled and nodded silently.
The city lord shook his head, looked disbelieving, and said: "I have seen his station, it is only 4,500 people, and even I have nearly 10,000 soldiers, how can he protect me?" ”
At this time, a violent arc suddenly appeared in the entire earl's office, and behind Ding Lei sitting, the space was distorted and deformed, a portal suddenly cracked, and a knight covered in golden armor and wearing a cloak walked out of it.
Adonis, who was wearing a pseudo-god of war armor, came to Ding Lei's back and asked, "Is it done?" ”
Ding Lei looked at the city lord in front of him, and said without looking back: "You came early." ”
The city lord looked at the two in front of him dumbfounded, speechless for a long time, and finally kept his eyes on the portal behind them that flickered with violent electric sparks until it disappeared.
"You...... Who the hell are you? ”
Ding Lei: "He ......"
Adonis: "I am Prince Austin, ruler of the eternal kingdom. Your Excellency, as long as you join us, you will be protected by our powerful miracle magic, and no one will dare to touch you again! ”
"Miracle magic? ......," the Count muttered.
"Like this!" Adonis raised his arm, and in an instant, the entire office was filled with scythes.
The Count had a long mouth, his head did not move, his eyes could only look down obliquely, and his whole body was covered with large and small scythes, and almost all of them were shadows of scythes except around the black knight.
In the next second, all the scythes disappeared, and the freed city lord put his hands on the desk, gasping for air.
Was it just a dream? No! The surrounding tables, walls, and chairs are all scratched by sickles! It's true!
Ding Lei turned his head to look at Adonis, who was wrapped in golden armor, who nodded at him and didn't say anything.
And what about your answer? Arthur? Ding Lei sat there and continued to ask.
"I ......"
"It's the same for anyone to join, if you want to continue doing business, you need a stable political environment, a huge army force to rely on, join us, you can ensure that your children and grandchildren are worry-free, and you will be prosperous forever."
"That'...... Can you show me a look at your army? After the city lord sat down, he looked at Ding Lei and asked, then looked up at the head of the golden eagle standing behind him.
"No problem."
Adonis agreed, and behind him, a huge image suddenly appeared, which was the scene of the expeditionary force training with the death knights, and the squares were neatly lined up there, a large area of black pressing, like a machine carrying out phalanx interweaving exercises.
This grand scene left the city lord speechless.
"What about your decision?" Ding Lei asked again very appropriately.
The city lord trembled and said, "I...... I do! I want to join the eternal kingdom! Please keep me through this crisis!! Please!! ”
-----------------------
Outside the Earl's Palace, there was a bustling crowd of people, hoping that the arrival of heroes would create miracles.
After a long time, the gates of the Earl's Court opened, and Lord Arthur stepped out, followed by Knight Addo and another mysterious knight wrapped in gold armor.
The lord of the city stood on the steps and shouted to the people below: "O people of Cologne, let us not be sorrowful about the coming calamity! The haze of war will be far away from us! ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and after a while, the city lord continued: "From now on, our city of Cologne will be attached to the Eternal Kingdom, become one of its city-states, accept its protection, and at the same time change its name to the Golden City, temporarily the capital of the Eternal Kingdom. ”
After everyone listened, they all stopped, and the people looked at each other and began to talk.
"Then Lord of the City! Will taxes increase after we annex them? Importantly, what are the benefits of joining them? Will our lives be affected? Someone asked, and the others all chimed in.
The city lord continued, "Except for changing the name of the country, there will be no effect! From now on, we will not be plagued by war, and at the same time, we will be supported by the miracles of the Eternal Realm beyond the ages, which will open up a new future for us! ”
"What kind of magic is it?" Some asked.
At this time, one of them shouted loudly: "What does His Highness the Black Eagle Knight think? ”
"That's right! What do our heroes say? ”
The city lord stepped aside, and Ding Lei, who was wearing the armor of the black knight, stepped forward and said, "I will serve as the protector of the eternal kingdom and protect you and your children and grandchildren from the hardships of war for thousands of years." ”
The scene suddenly fell silent, and the next moment it was all boiling.
"Long live the Protector!!"
"Long live the hero marshal!!"
Knight Addo is the hero of his own family, and since his family has mastered the power of the army and become the marshal of this country, then this country is his own.
Everyone cheered, and the whole Earl's Court was bustling with activity, and people celebrated this special day.
"It's only 10,000 years old, don't curse people like this, okay." Ding Lei muttered, and at the same time looked in the direction of the magic crystal mine, "Next, it's there." ”
