Thankfully, the town is still peaceful and much more prosperous than it used to be.

Time must have passed a long time, and when Chang Le entered the secret room, it was still late summer and early autumn, and after a long meditation, he came out of the ground and ushered in fluttering snowflakes.

"Oh my God! has this been months, or years, decades?"

Chang Le smiled and opened his five fingers to see the crystal six-pointed stars fall into the palm of his hand, and suddenly disappeared.

Looking at the scenery around her, it seems that not much has changed, Amy's small building is still standing not far away, and there is no sign of dilapidation.

However, there is an extra circle of walls around it, and there are spikes on the top of the wall, and it seems that although the "City Lord's Mansion" has not been expanded, the defense has been greatly strengthened.

"Hey, who are you? How did you get in?"

The mercenaries on the sentry tower spotted Chang Le, and immediately opened their bows and arrows, asking vigilantly.

The mercenaries at the gate heard the movement and rushed in.

This kind of thing shouldn't have happened, even if they didn't know that Chang Le was the real boss, they should recognize him as a "little white face raised by the boss".

However, where is Changle still a little white face at this moment?

He took out a small mirror from the beast soul space, looked at his honorable face, and couldn't help but smile again.

Unkempt hair, unshaven beard, yellow face and thin muscles are the consequences of long-term meditation without eating.

"I want to see Amy. He could only reply for the time being.

"Who are you, and why did the lord of the city see you?"

Some of the mercenaries were annoyed, some laughed, and in short, they all felt that a homeless man was not qualified to be condescended to be received by the city lord.

Chang Le could only shout directly at Xiaolou:

"Amy, Amy!"

Not to mention Amy, not even seven-year-old Tony, there was no sound in the small building, only a girl who looked like a maid looked around.

Chang Le smiled "hehe":

"Amy has finally hired someone to do the housework, is she too busy?"

The mercenary was already impatient to talk to him, and reached out to push:

"The lord of the city is receiving Count Capa, how can I have time to talk to you, get out!"

Chang Le could only smile bitterly, pushed out of the door by these dutiful but somewhat snobbish warriors, and at the same time secretly laughed at himself:

"I'm the boss, and I'm a really wretched. ”

Since Amy was not there, and he was anxious to understand the current situation, especially the current situation at Fort Stanley, the most appropriate place to go was, of course, the tavern.

Completely different from the quietness of the inner city, the midtown where adventurers gather is like a boiling cauldron, noisy, and hot.

It is already crowded with vendors and crowds, and it is no less than the most prosperous street in Kassel, Morgan Street.

Entering the tavern, sitting at the counter and asking for a glass of wine, chatting with the boss for a few words, Chang Le knew that three months had passed, and today was the last day of the year 5136 in the Guangming calendar, and the New Year was about to be ushered in, so the street was full of festive atmosphere.

The reason for Paradise's popularity, of course, stems from his battle three months ago.

The mysterious "Emperor" appeared to make a move, and the "Devil Knight" Hanhai King was killed on the spot, such a major news has already made the town famous all over the world, and the flow of people has been surging in the past 100 days, the number of resident residents has doubled, and the number of tourists is countless.

After all, there has not been a "French Emperor" in the Eastern Continent for more than a thousand years, and even the War Emperor only had one seven hundred years ago, not to mention the "Space Law Emperor", which is unheard of.

Now, even if Amy doesn't specifically explain it, people naturally believe that the "master" must come from the western continent where the magical civilization is thriving, and such towering trees cannot grow in the barren land of the east!

In the past, there were only one or two thousand adventurers based in the small town, but now it has doubled, which makes the demonic beasts in the Devil's Forest miserable, and the reproduction ability is far from catching up with the hunting and killing consumption.

I am afraid that in a few years, the word "devil" in the Devil's Forest will be abolished, and if the population continues to increase and trees continue to be cut down to build cities, perhaps one day the "forest" will cease to exist.

In turn, there are benefits to the extinction of ferocious beasts and the increased safety of the wilderness, which has led to the emergence of many villages around the town, and the continuous cultivation of farmland, turning this treacherous wilderness into a human home.

However, the positioning of the town is to provide supplies for adventurers, and if the surrounding area loses its adventure value, how can it survive?

At present, it seems that everything is thriving, Amy declared that everything within a hundred miles belongs to the "Great Magician", and the Empire has not expressed any objections, and has acquiesced to the master as the lord of this land, anyway, this wilderness was originally a barren land.

It is said that Robert V also rejoiced in this, and it seems that the great magician thus sided with the Empire.

This is evident from the many Imperial nobles who came to visit, and now the "Master" is also a member of the Imperial aristocratic class, even if this master is too mysterious and has always only used Amy as the spokesperson, they are equally respectful to the beautiful city lord who is born as a commoner.

As the owner of the entire land, not to mention her own business and various taxes, Amy can make more money just by collecting rent.

However, the future will eventually be clouded, and if there are fewer adventurers, the town will eventually be depressed again, and who should be taxed from then?

After all, it is located in the northern part of the empire, and it is not as important as the transportation artery of Kassel, and there is no foundation for long-term prosperity.

"The ...... of the main traffic arteries"

Chang Le shook the wine in the cup slightly, pondered for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked up to the sky and laughed:

"Portal! With my portal, Paradise Town can be a transportation hub for the whole continent, and I'm afraid it won't prosper?"

Of course, this sentence was not shouted, and the tavern owner in front of him only heard him laughing, and there was no shortage of guys who went crazy after a few drinks in this kind of place.

But someone still noticed Chang Le, and a wine girl came to sit down beside him, and asked him in a sweet and greasy voice:

"Handsome sir, you are so happy, would you like to invite me to a drink and let me be happy with you?"

The girl was pretty and charming, and she was in a good mood, so she threw a gold coin to her and let her drink it as she pleased, and then continued to ask the boss about the current situation at Fort Stanley, as well as the movements of the imperial government and the opposition, etc.

When the girl saw the gold coin, she was ecstatic, and probably wanted to take advantage of Chang Le's pleasure to take advantage of it, but she did not expect that this sloppy and sloppy ghost was actually a rich man, and immediately hugged his arm, and his chest was also pasted.

The boss was also bright-eyed, and asked with a smile:

"Dude, did you just come back from an adventure and make a fortune?"

Chang Le nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, the girl's plump chest became more and more tight, and Chang Le's arms fluctuated for a while, both gentle and soft, and the doubly delicate voice also sounded in his ears:

"Sir, you're tired of taking risks for so long, do you want me to accompany you to the hotel to take a shower and have a good rest? Do you like me to be gentle, or a little wild?"

"What's the hurry?" the boss quickly interrupted, "A few more drinks to help the fun!"

"A few more drinks, and there will be no tenderness, only wildness!" the girl gave him a blank look.

Chang Le smiled and threw another gold coin to the boss:

"I've been adventuring for too long, I want to know what's going on outside, you tell me more about it. ”

"Okay, okay, no problem! Let's talk about Fort Stanley, that pariah, awesome!"

"Which pariah?"

Chang Le was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was referring to himself.

Just after his "mutiny" took away 7,000 men, Emperor Robert V, who was in the city of Sessniek, was furious, feeling that this incident happened under his nose, which could be called a "slap in the face".

What he couldn't tolerate the most was that Changle "mutinied" and kidnapped Princess Wendy!

No wonder Wendy cried and wanted to come to the city with her father, it turned out to be premeditated!

The annoyed Emperor was once again angry with Marshal Fontaine, who had already been reinstated as the head of the military academy because of his military exploits, but this time he was relieved of his post and went home to relax.

If it is said that the marshal was dismissed last time because he was implicated and very wronged, which made Chang Le feel guilty, then this time he is to blame.

If it weren't for the marshal's fear of the emergence of a "warlord", he "transplanted" Chang Le's exploits to the crown prince, and deliberately deprived Chang Le of his military power, he would not have provoked a mutiny in the troops.

Therefore, Chang Le was secretly happy when he heard the news, and felt that the Emperor had done a good deed, raised his wine glass and shouted "Your Majesty is wise", and drank it all.

The girl next to him deliberately made fun, and a pair of red lips were sent to him, raising her head and opening her mouth, smiling and smiling like silk:

"I'm going to drink it too!"

Looking at this posture, she wants Chang Le to feed her to drink with her mouth, of course, she can also ignore the wine and taste the taste in her mouth in turn.

Chang Le asked the boss to pour another glass of wine and stuffed the cup into the girl's hand, which made her look embarrassed.

Then he went on to ask:

"What happened? Did the Empire plan to attack Fort Stanley?"

"What's the need for a plan? ”

"What?" Chang Le was startled and almost jumped.

Unexpectedly, the empire had just experienced a tragic war, and the Guards were almost completely wiped out, and they were still actively fighting in such a weak state!

But he had been meditating underground for three months, and what should have happened had already happened, so he still tried to calm down and asked his boss to continue to tell.

On the third day after the Changle Mutiny, the emperor issued a crusade order, led by the new generation of the empire's god of war, the famous general among the famous generals, the crown prince Frank led the army, and the war hero Philip, who had just been crowned duke, as the deputy.

The two commanded the last of the empire's families, the only surviving Fifth Guards Division, and the newly formed Seventh Division, to eliminate the rebels and recapture Fort Stanley within a time limit.

However, the crusade did not go well from the start.

Duke Philip's Fifth Division, a descendant, refused to go on the expedition, claiming that it needed to rest after the war, and many troops were scattered to search for the remnants of the enemy, and it was difficult to contact them in a hurry, and it was impossible to complete the assembly in a month or two.

The Havilland Guards have always been elite, and they are a rare professional standing army on the mainland, and it is definitely a big joke to say that they can complete the assembly in two months, and it is clear that the duke has a ghost in his heart and wants to see the "famous general" crown prince make a fool of himself.

Duke Philip's military talents are mediocre, but his interests are shrewd enough, everyone knows that he has a personal enmity with Chang Le, and the emperor thinks the same, but he knows very well the importance of personal enmity and politics, and knows how to make trade-offs.

It was precisely because he had a grudge against Chang Le that he was very active in using private troops to encircle and suppress Chang Le in the past, so the emperor couldn't blame him for avoiding the war, so he could only open his eyes and close his eyes.

Hearing Philip's tricks, Chang Le couldn't help laughing, he had never thought this villain was so cute, and deliberately raised his glass and shouted:

"I wish the Duke good health!"

As a result, Philip was messed up like this, and only the 7th Guards Division was left in the hands of the crown prince.

This new unit was downsized from the original "Westward Advance Army", and most of them were "mobilized soldiers", and the peasants carried pitchforks to enlist, not only lacked training, but also had incomplete armor and horses, and their combat effectiveness was self-evident.

But the emperor was full of confidence, since the traitor Changle only had 7,000 men, and most of them were robber-born rabble, then the seventh division led by the crown prince with more than 13,000 people was already twice the strength advantage.

What's more, the crown prince is a great hero who saved the empire with the power of one person, and even Marshal Fontaine, the god of war, is full of praise for him, can such a famous general defeat a thief?

So he still urged his son to go on the expedition within a time limit, lest if he delayed for a long time, his daughter would be taken advantage of by Chang Le.

Crown Prince Frank, with the rank of Imperial Marshal, officially set out on September 15, following his style of use of troops during the war, and spent a full ten days and advanced eight kilometers.

The emperor waited anxiously for the good news, and sent people to the front to inquire, and was surprised to find that the troops were not far from the city gate at all, and when asked the reason, the crown prince replied that "the enemy army is cunning and needs to be done with caution."

This is the proposition of the "famous general", and Robert V has no choice but to pay out of his pocket to supply military rations and baggage, firewood, grass and drinking water.

On September 30, the crown prince suddenly ran away, left the troops alone, and rode straight to the imperial capital Haisen!

The reason is very strange, after the word spreads, the world is in an uproar, it is actually for a woman!
