Blood Maul felt bitter at the corner of his mouth and had nothing to say. In fact, it understood what Downton said and had the intention of tricking him. If it could win, it would naturally attack the royal capital. Then it would make a decision.
Occupy the Western Territory, or take the opportunity to kill him and own the entire Delankfurt.
"You are indeed a genius who rose from a commoner to a duke at such a young age!"
Bloodmaul was full of emotions, why are outstanding human talents always emerging in endlessly, but it is so difficult for an ogre to give birth to a two-headed man? The goddess is really unfair.
"What are you thinking about? Didn't you hear that our master has seen off the guests?"
Jackson urged.
Bloodmaul stood up, but moved very slowly, still hoping that Downton would retain him. He really didn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there was another reason why he had to do it.
"etc!"
Downton suddenly spoke.
"Have you changed your attention?"
Bloodmaul suddenly turned around, trying to control the surprise on his face, but he couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
"No, I just thought of the fact that if you don't want to fight this war, you have to fight it!"
Downton stared at Bloodmaul and saw his face turning pale, which further confirmed his idea.
"Why?"
Jackson didn't understand.
"Because of the trading town I established, the hilly natives can exchange local products for a lot of supplies. Their lives are much better now than before. If I lose the war, this policy will disappear!"
Downton was a little carried away. He didn't expect that the previous deployment could have such a magical effect.
When Downton was first established as a trading town, it was just to exchange for special products, make a profit from the price difference, and win over the natives and recruit some subordinates. This step also made the relationship between the natives and the Western Region much closer than before.
"We were able to survive without supplies before and only relied on the output of the hills. Then of course we can do the same in the future."
Bloodmaul was still arguing, but his tone was no longer firm.
"After enjoying a high-quality life, who would want to go back to being a native and chewing grass roots every day?" Downton sneered, "Don't forget, you are not a whole, there are so many tribes, plus the high price I offer
, there will always be someone loyal to me."
Cold sweat broke out on Xue Maul's forehead because he knew that these would become facts.
"One more thing, if I lose the battle, the next Duke of the West will never treat you so well!"
Downton sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and drank tea slowly.
"uncertain."
Bloodmaul retorted.
"Haha, do you think it's possible? The hilly natives, not only in the eyes of the nobles, but also the ordinary civilians, think that they and you are like rats. They only deserve to live in the ditch."
Jackson sneered.
"you wanna die!"
Bloodmaul was angry and pointed the staff in his hand at the ghoul.
Not to be outdone, Jackson drew out his crossbow and faced off. Celes, who was beside him, also took out her staff and prepared to fight.
"Bloodmaul, I am now officially informing you that I am recruiting 10,000 hilly natives to fight for me."
Downton's face turned serious.
"impossible!"
Bloodmaul refused directly. Without any benefit, who would die for others.
"Shut up and listen to what I have to say quietly. If you can't do it, I will cancel the trading town. And cut off all trade routes to the Dragon Hills. You will no longer have to buy goods from those smugglers.
Already."
"you dare……"
Bloodmaul was completely outraged when his trump card was overturned. The reason why he remained calm was because there were these smugglers who were not afraid of death. They exchanged materials from the human kingdom for special products and then made money. Once Downton cut off the trade routes, the natives would definitely
If you can't live anymore, at least the salt problem cannot be solved.
"Why don't I dare? Not only that, I also want to issue a massacre order. A native has a hundred gold coins on his head. I forgot to tell you that this Duke found the dwarf king's treasure in this underground adventure and gained tens of billions. Some of them have gold coins to buy you.
head!"
Downton picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly.
"If you do this, we will turn to the other dukes and kill you first!"
Blood Hammer also turned against him, and the fish was dead and the net was broken.
"Okay, I'm just waiting to see you being used as cannon fodder on the battlefield. After you are lucky enough to kill me, you will be tortured and killed by others!"
Downton doesn't matter.
"you……"
Xue Chuiqi's face turned red, but he couldn't argue with "you" several times. Human beings would never treat the natives equally. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to get in.
“So cool!”
Seeing Downton sitting in the main seat, leaving the great shaman speechless, Celes thought Downton was extremely handsome.
"You have 10,000 natives to recruit within seven days. Otherwise, don't blame me for engaging in military law. Go out, I have other things to do."
Downton sees off guests.
Wow!
Bloodmaul's staff made of the skull of a monster lit up, and then a red flaming bullet was fired at Downton.
"careful!"
Celes didn't know Downton's strength, so she stood in front of him without hesitation, with a shield popping up on her body, ready to withstand the magical attack for him.
"fool!"
Downton pulled Celes behind him, and the Dark Goddess Guardian appeared and blocked the flaming bullet.
"Master, be careful!"
Jackson fired the blood hammer and was about to shout a warning when the fire bullet was blocked, and then heard Downton's order.
"Shut up!"
Downton glared at Jackson. If this guy shouted, there would definitely be a conflict outside, with lots of casualties.
"Dragon-slaying level? But it's not enough!"
Bloodmaul snorted, but he was still a little surprised that Downton could take over his instant magic. According to the information he got, when Downton left a year ago, he was only ruling the second level. If he were to slay the dragon now,
This talent is really worthy of admiration.
"Oh, then what level is enough?"
Downton asked in return, motioning to Celes to put down her staff and not to be nervous.
"What do you think?"
Bloodmaul looked proud, activated the magic shield, and seven soul dragons rotated around his body.
"The peak of dragon-slaying level?"
Jackson gasped and immediately jumped behind Downton. No wonder this guy dared to enter the hall alone. With this strength, he was enough to fight his way out of Aoki Town in a tight siege.
"Well, that's great. You are qualified to be my thug!"
Downton joked.
"you……"
Bloodmaul was going crazy. He was at the pinnacle of the dragon-slaying level. He was capable of running around in these third-rate countries. If he was promoted to the scepter, the four great dukes would probably have to shun him. Why did he dare to ask Downton to do something for the hill natives?
He became successful all because of his outstanding strength, but now he is being teased by Downton, who sounds like he is no different from a bastard.
"Me what?"
Downton possesses the twin soul trees, the body of the God of Fire, plus the epic martial arts Overlord Fist and Dark Fighting Technique. He can crush any scepter of the same level, let alone a dragon slayer.
"I want to duel with you, don't you dare!"
Bloodmaul roared, but the last word "dare" was not uttered, because he saw the elements condensed to form a scepter, which was held casually by Downton in his hand.
"Duel? Great!"
Downton's scepter is one and a half meters long and is made of white gold as the main color. It is decorated with orange-red firebird patterns and green life leaf vines.
After Twilight used a small prayer spell to purify Downton's will and soul fruit, the black chain runes on the scepter disappeared. They were replaced by black spider silk wing patterns, which were gorgeous and mixed with a hint of evil charm.
"Master, have you changed your career to become a mage?"
Idiot Jackson doesn't understand at all.
"Elemental Scepter? Downton, have you been promoted to the Scepter? I knew you were the best!"
Celes covered her lips lightly. Her face was full of disbelief, and she cried happily. The man she liked was indeed different.
Bloodmaul was silent, but there were ten thousand curses in his heart. He never dreamed that the other party was actually a scepter. Duel? Just kidding, he believed that he was a genius, but compared to a person who stepped from the ruling to the scepter in one year.
Guys, it's like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon.
"I can forgive you for your offense just now, but the seven-day period will not change. If you can't do it, I will block the trade routes in Dragon Hills until I die!"
Downton tapped the floor with his staff.
"I'm being reckless, but is there really no room for negotiation?"
Xue Maul sighed and slumped down on the sofa.
"You haven't seen my trump card, and I won't explain it. I just tell you that I will not lose this war. If you join my camp now, then victory will be yours, and you will get a share of the benefits."
It will be less, but if you want to join later, I'm sorry, I will just treat you as natives."
Downton no longer wanted to talk any more.
"Do you want me to take a gamble?"
Bloodmaul asked.
"You have no effort and only want to gain? You are a wise man, do you think it is possible for the world to fall into pieces?" Downton scattered the scepter, "Sweat as much as you like, eat as much as you want, put away those unrealistic delusions.
, just go on step by step, that’s the right path!”
"Hey, don't waste your master's time. If you don't agree, get out!"
Jackson urged. When he saw the master's rank, he immediately became bolder and even walked to the blood mallet and stabbed it with the handle of the knife.
"Do I have a choice?"
Bloodmaul had no choice but to kneel down on one knee, "Please allow me to offer my loyalty!"
"I don't need your loyalty, I will give you as much as you pay!"
Allegiance under this kind of pressure is unreliable, and it is far less close than the connection of interests. Downton knows that as long as he keeps winning, these ogres will not rebel, otherwise they will be the first to defect, stab themselves and steal
They are the ones who take everything.
"Okay, I will be your ally!" Bloodmaul was convinced this time. He felt that with Downton's performance, it would not be difficult to overcome this difficulty.
"Wrong, it's not the Allies, it's the Servant Army!"
Downton shook his index finger and corrected Blood Hammer's wording.
"you……"
Bloodmaul wanted to say that Downton was too bullying, but was interrupted by Jackson.
"Come on, it's already good that I didn't let you become a slave corps. How dare you be picky?"
Jackson urged, "Go out and comfort your people. They will definitely be anxious. If there is a fight, it won't be worth it if someone dies."
Bloodmaul walked out in despair. In this confrontation, he was completely defeated! (To be continued...)
