The Dagger Revealed

Both sides had their own needs, so the meeting was quite harmonious.

It wasn't until Chen Changhe proposed to Vasili the idea of recruiting them into the government that this changed.

"You mean... you want me and my brother to go to Blackwater Fief and become your subjects?"

Vasili looked at Chen Changhe in surprise.

This Baron Wang Zizhen is quite handsome, but his thoughts are certainly quite beautiful.

Vasili now has a strong and well-equipped army. Does he really think he can make Vasili obediently become a compliant subject just by saying a few words?

Did he fabricate this white paper?

Furthermore, Chen Changhe also instructed Vasili to hand over everything he had acquired during this period.

Was he the robber, or was Chen Changhe the robber?

Vasili's face immediately turned extremely ugly:

"Your Excellency Baron Wang Zizhen is too kind. We country folk are used to living a carefree life."

"Blackwater Fief is nice, but I doubt we'd get used to living there."

Vasili directly rejected Chen Changhe's offer to recruit him.

"However... I do have a suggestion."

"Your Excellency has just arrived in the Northlands and must be having trouble adapting to the environment here."

"The Blackwater Fief is under the control of Corrupted Creatures; with your current forces, there's no hope of subjugating it."

"Why not hire us to help you reclaim your territory?"

"I've long heard that Baron Wang Zizhen is a kind-hearted and exceptionally good person."

"It's our duty to do this, of course."

"Of course, since the brothers have put in the effort, they must receive appropriate compensation."

"Three years..."

"The revenue from the first three years after the recapture of Blackwater Fief will be our reward."

"All matters, large and small, in the territory for the next three years can be handled by us."

"May I have the title of Blackwater Fief Sheriff, Your Excellency?"

"As for you and your people, you only need to stay in your territory and live peacefully."

After several changes in Vasili looked at Chen Changhe and said with a half-smile.

Now that we've already crossed the line, there's no need to hide anything.

It's rare to find such a lucrative opportunity that comes knocking on your door.

Of course, he wanted to have Chen Changhe under his control.

If he can obtain the status of a sheriff, his current identity can be cleared.

Using the name of Blackwater Fief, even Bull Viscount couldn't refuse to make a deal with him.

With legitimate trading channels, plus the tricks he knew...

He dared not go to places that were too dangerous.

However, he could regard some remote little territories as his own treasure trove.

Before long, he will be able to acquire enough wealth to buy himself the status of a pioneering lord.

As a lord, Chen Changhe must be protected by God's Chosen.

This was exactly what he was worried about before.

But when he saw Julia with his own eyes, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked good and had a nice figure, but she was dressed as a maid.

He wasn't carrying any weapons, but had a basket full of mushrooms slung over his arm.

Clearly, he is a Production-type Chosen One.

Vasili's level of understanding was higher than Ma Dexiang's, but he did not possess Ma Dexiang's powerful sensory abilities.

In addition, Julia deliberately concealed it.

He couldn't sense any oppressive aura emanating from Julia.

"While my strength is not comparable to that of First-Tier Chosen One, it is not far off."

"Suppressing a Production-type Chosen One is no problem at all."

"Besides her, the strongest person here is only a Second-Tier Battle-Qi Knight."

"My men are more than capable of taking him down."

"With my current manpower, taking down Wang Zizhen and his group would be a piece of cake."

"If Heaven grants something and you don't take it, you will surely suffer the consequences."

They've practically offered themselves up; how could he possibly let them go?

The main problem is that Julia's current outfits are too deceptive.

Vasili never imagined that the Production-type Chosen One he saw before him possessed strength surpassing most Second-Tier Chosen One.

To cooperate with him, Vasili's warriors stood up one by one, looking fierce, and drew the swords from their waists.

"So..."

Chen Changhe revealed a playful expression, "Are you trying to coerce me?"

"Hahaha!"

Vasili laughed heartily.

"The word 'coercion' is too strong. We are just some pitiful people who have been led down this path by bad luck!"

However, we still want to contribute to the Imperium, and in order to continue serving the Imperium, we need a noble status as a background.

Furthermore, it's not entirely without benefit for you that we're doing this.

At least the reputation is yours, and so is the Blackwater Fief.

I know you are now ostracized by your family and even despised by your own father.

However, if you achieve something and gain a good reputation in the Northlands, your father might change his mind and perhaps even recall you to the Lion Earl's Domain."

Chen Changhe chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?"

Vasili sensed something was wrong.

Chen Changhe was much calmer than he had imagined, and showed no sign of panic.

"You really think you've got me figured out?"

Chen Changhe said with amusement.

"That's good. I originally wanted to persuade you to submit."

But since you won't listen to reason, then we'll show you with our strength who truly holds the upper hand.

Julia, let's begin! But remember, keep your Orks under control. I don't want to see any casualties, after all, these people will be my subjects from now on!"

"Yes, my esteemed master!"

Julia grabbed a handful of mushrooms from the basket and threw them to the ground. The mushrooms quickly and rapidly grew to the size of a person.

Then the mushroom burst open like an egg, and dozens of Orks emerged from it.

"Waaaaagh!"

The frantic roar startled Vasili and his men.

Julia summoned a total of thirty-six Orks this time.

Half of them were Snotling Orks.

These don't seem like a big deal.

From the outside, they are not much different from the Goblins that originally existed in this world.

However, its skin is greener than that of the Goblins in this world, and it looks more ferocious.

However, the remaining half were all High Orks.

Although its life form level is not high, it is only Elite Lifeform, the Orks.

However, he still stands nearly two and a half meters tall, his body covered in muscles, making him look like a giant and inspiring awe.

"Monster!"

Vasili was also startled by the sudden appearance of the Orks.

He couldn't sense any Fighting Aura from the Orks.

However, this enormous size itself represents a kind of strength.

In particular, the ground tremors and damage caused by the movement of High Orks.

"I should have no problem dealing with one."

"But if I'm facing more than two, I'll definitely suffer a crushing defeat."

"If so many of them rush in at once..."

Vasili couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.

They'll probably get wiped out instantly, right?

Damn it!

This God's Chosen named Julia is not Production-type Chosen One, but a summoning-type God's Chosen.

What kind of monsters are these races called Orks?

To which deity's retinue do they belong?

Why had he never heard of it before?
