Lord Quest. ”

The change from "sir" to "Your Excellency" shows Green's respect for the ally in front of him a step further. He no longer saw him as a decent businessman, but as a nobleman of his own status.

"Thank you for the reinforcements you have provided us. They were very brave and tenacious in the battle, and they proved their honor. ”

Descending from the emerald fortress that towered above the floating ground, the commander-in-chief of the Union Army immediately met with Quith. They exchanged views and opinions on the situation of the war that followed.

"They are camel men from the overseas islands," Quest told Grimm about his first army, "and they are willing to contribute to the crusade against the Emperor." In return, the territories that were occupied by the emperor after the war would become their new home. ”

As a blue dragon on the evil side of order (although it may be a bit inaccurate to say so), Quest will not help Ramsay's humans for free. Even then, it would actually be of some benefit to him to conquer the dwarf gods in the future.

After seeing the powerful combat power of the camel warriors and shamans, and was worried about the military strength of the Ramseys, Grimm agreed to Quest's conditions very painfully. "It's not a harsh condition. After all, according to tradition – 'as long as the lord has achieved merit in battle, the lord must provide fiefs for those meritorious knights' – the Ramsay people never treat their friends badly. ”

Once an agreement was reached, Green ordered a written agreement to be drafted. After making more than thirty copies and affixing his own seals in turn, he sent messengers to send copies of the document to the various cities, and he believed that the mayors would not object to the vast majority.

There are two reasons for this: first, for now, the dwarf island, which could have been pinned on high hopes, is no longer useful, and it is urgent to find new allies to fight against the emperor, and second, except for the two cities of Emerald and Soft Maple, the territory that the emperor can control now is actually not large, and the cession to the camel people after the war will not affect the other city-states.

As far as this agreement is concerned, only the two mayors of Emerald Wood City and Soft Maple City may disagree. It's just that after experiencing the rout and destruction of two cities in a row, Green's fear and hatred for the emperor have reached the limit.

At this time, there are powerful allies who can fight the monster army, and in exchange for their help with what they have already lost, Green feels that it is very cost-effective. As for the thoughts of the fat mayor of Soft Maple City, neither Grimm, Quest, nor the rulers of the other city-states of the Alliance Army took it seriously. He is not qualified to comment.

"What should come will always come," said the fat mayor, slumped into his chair like a deflated ball after reading the copy of the Entente, "and they were finally ready to attack me." ”

He's at the end of his rope. The civilians of Soft Maple City have now basically become vassals of Emerald Wood City. Even the other party has experienced the catastrophe of fleeing from the city. However, the Green family has a thousand-year-old heritage, and its branches are spread across major city-states, and they can still feed those populations for a few years when they are fully operational. The fat mayor does not have this kind of background, and he can do very little for the citizens of the soft maple city. After the disarming of the Steel Fork Battalion, he was barely even able to ensure safety with just one mercenary group.

If it weren't for the fact that he had made a dangerous move before, he secretly communicated with the dwarf. And those guys reciprocated, and when they retreated back to Dwarf Island, they left them a sum of gem coins and a large amount of weapons and equipment that could be used to arm the mercenary group. He had long since had no idea of getting his hands on the throne of power, and perhaps he was already sitting in a southbound caravan, ready to find a safe place to spend the rest of his life.

"We can't give up yet," the fat mayor calmed down, signed the agreement, and sent his retinue to return it to the messenger who came to deliver the agreement, "The gnomes haven't fallen yet, they still need a representative." ”

Thinking about the problem, the fat mayor habitually picked up a bowl of buttered fish fat as a snack, which was a new invention of his cook. Originally, when he was in Soft Maple City, he liked to eat cream jellyfish, but after arriving in the Black Willow Marsh, that kind of ingredient was not common, and his cook had to choose a fish organ that grew in the swamp instead of jellyfish as an ingredient.

Fortunately, the fat mayor is also very satisfied with the taste of this fish maw, and he eats a big bowl at every meal. If you are thinking about it, you also need a chef to prepare this snack for it. However, just as he was feasting, he did not notice that a hazy mist had suddenly risen around him, and that the servants who had been with him had disappeared one by one.

A face appeared in front of it.

In front of him was a huge creature draped in blood-red metal armor. The man's face looked like that of a normal Ramsay human, but on that pale face there were three eyes, each of which shimmered with a dark yellow glow that read as wise but cunning in writing. He had a short beard on his chin and four tentacles-like things hanging down. He has several scars on his face, which are held in place with metal rings sutured.

The fat mayor felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Water, water...... I need water," the fat mayor snorted twice as he pinched his neck, and then immediately knew what he needed right now. The creature's lips opened twice, as if he had chanted a spell, and the fat mayor felt like he could catch his breath again.

"I've been keeping an eye on you, Lord Mayor of Soft Maple. "You know in your own heart how many opportunities you've wasted. The terrible giant laughed and uttered a terrifying, shrill voice, "Now, you're going to pay for your failures! ”

"I-" The fat mayor tried to plead, but his mind went blank.

"—self-defeating," said the giant, speaking for him, "I know that you possess a rare arrogance and ambition. It's just that I don't have enough opportunities and help, and now, I'm here to help you. ”

The giant laughed again, and his massive body trembled with it, and a terrifying, strange sound made the fat mayor's heart begin to spasm.

He poked a long finger into the fat mayor's neck, sending the piercing customer and the pain into his body. "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight," he said in a cold voice, "and you must be ready." ”

Then he twisted his fingers and opened his palm, covering the fat mayor's face. A brand-like "snort" sounded suddenly, and the latter's head was tilted up, and a terrible and miserable scream erupted between his trembling lips.

"Your Excellency!"

With pushing and shouting, the fat mayor finally opened his eyes. "It's a nightmare!" he let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the servant in front of him. However, just as he reached out and kneaded his somewhat sore neck, he suddenly stood up.

On his fat neck, there were three parotid glands!
