Cross's answer surprised William, "Copper Mountain in the upper reaches of the Blackwater River?"

"Yes. ”

"Your Excellency, what are you doing in that kind of remote town?"

"I am the lord of Copperhill. ”

Again, William was taken aback by this reply.

Cross Klein is the lord of Coppermountain! William never knew that. But this does not mean that William is unheard, that kind of remote place is not cared for at all, and naturally no one will know who governs it.

In fact, if it weren't for the trade between Norman City and Copperhill, William would not have known of such a place.

However, William immediately turned to joy, and he seemed to immediately understand the reason why Cross asked him to guard Blackwater well.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for not knowing your identity as the Lord of Copper Mountain Town now. For the development of Tongshan Town, I will definitely do my best to protect Heishui Town. However, if Blackwater is in crisis, I hope you can help. ”

Cross smiled imperceptibly, and William was finally lured into the right track by him,

However, of course, he could not agree to William's request so easily, and he needed to get some resources from William.

In Cross's cognition, Copper Mountain Town is too backward, and to use such a backward town as a starting point, some hard resources are necessary.

Of course, he asked William to personally give the resources he needed.

"Viscount William, the situation in the entire Klein Territory is chaotic right now, and Copper Mountain Town is not capable of self-preservation. Look at me, I don't even have a decent set of armor, let alone other soldiers, and I'm afraid that this kind of combat power will not be able to support me. ”

William smiled, "Your Excellency is right, I will prepare a small boat immediately, and twenty sets of equipment will be placed on board, and these equipment will be given to Your Excellency. ”

"Is that really good? ”

"To be able to form an ally with Lord Cross, these equipment are nothing. ”

Chloe muttered to herself: I was a miser before! Sure enough, the greater good can make people change their preconceived notions.

"It turns out that Viscount William wants to form an alliance with me, and if you form an alliance, these equipment are really nothing. ”

William's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he wished that time could be turned back and change the 20 sets of equipment he had mentioned before to 50 sets.

Cross wasn't aggressive either, he continued, "With these pieces of equipment from Viscount William, Copperhill should be able to barely defend itself.

However, the grain reserves in Tongshan Town have always been a big problem. You may have heard that every winter, people in Tongshan Town will starve to death, and if the population decreases, we may not be able to draw extra people to support Blackwater. ”

With the previous lesson, William learned to be obedient this time, and he immediately replied, "I William has all the food for the winter in Tongshan Town this year!"

William's heroic tone was in stark contrast to his previous stinginess, and Cross couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Viscount William, so much food is not enough for a few small boats. ”

"I'll personally send those grains to Tongshan Town in a big boat!"

"That's a hard time for you, Viscount William. ”

Cross knew he had achieved his goal. In the short term, the town of Copper Mountain can enjoy peaceful development, and the town of Copper Mountain can rely on the Blackwater River to comfortably exchange resources from other towns.

In addition to these, to keep the Blackwater River in peace and tranquility, there is also a more important point, that is, the collection of information, with the long and peaceful Blackwater River, Cross can secretly collect information about magic from more places.

On the other hand, William finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when it came to this, he could be regarded as having initially established a friendly relationship with Cross. As long as there is such a relationship, William is confident that Cross will truly become his ally. Once he truly becomes an ally with Cross, then William will have more leverage to survive this chaos. So, he decided to take advantage of the situation to get closer to Cross.

"Lord Cross, you have hunted so many scavengers in this battle, and compared to you, I am not hard at all. If you don't mind, can you get on board and celebrate this victory with us?"

"Viscount William, Blackwater has been destroyed and needs to be rebuilt urgently, so don't waste your time on meaningless celebrations. ”

"Your Excellency is right!"

At this time, Nia suddenly rushed to Cross's side, "Lord Cross, I've disposed of all those corpses. ”

Cross nodded, signaling that Nia was doing a good job, and then turned his gaze to William, "Viscount William, it will take time to get from Blackwater to Coppermountain, and I must go back quickly." I don't want Copperhill to become a second Blackwater. ”

With that, Cross turned to leave, followed by Nia.

William stared at Cross's distant back, the silver-eyed boy who had made too much impression on him, in addition to his amazing strength, he also had far-reaching thoughts, and excellent qualities. The rumor that 'Cross Klein is the hope of Klein Collar' crossed his mind.

As Cross's figure faded into the darkness of the night, William breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around to give the order, only to find that everyone in the army was still watching in that direction. "Is this the hope of Klein Lead...... William muttered to himself.
