Return to the City

S-Class mission [War of Power].

In a short period of time, William completed the second part of his mission: to have 50,000 Mercenary at his disposal, and to bring about the fall of Augustine.

The rewards were only some experience points, which were hardly enough to help him at his current level.

The sun sets in the west.

William had just arrived outside the city gate when some beautiful, long-legged guards saw their City Lord covered in blood and tried to help him up.

Fortunately, there are quite a few Player...

William abandoned his plan to feign exhaustion and lean on a guard, but still used the guard's sword to part the crowd and headed to the Divination Shop without even changing his clothes.

As the Player of Dawn City watched their City Lord depart, a flurry of discussion erupted as they browsed the Forum and came across a video titled "[Legendary Boss War]".

The entire video was shot in a very chaotic manner, with frequent flaws.

It's obvious that the Player filming the video died.

However, after some editing, it became a fairly complete and exciting battle video.

Dawn City Lord, fighting against multiple opponents, battles 20 humanoid bosses from the Steel Duchy.

"Just watch the video. In that battle that lasted only 5 minutes, the City Lord was incredibly fierce. Facing a Legendary, seven Epic, and a whole bunch of Grandmaster, he still managed to hold his own and even killed a few of them."

"Augustine was incredibly powerful too, a true idol of our Fire Element. I never imagined he was dead..."

"What a pity, we didn't get a video of their final battle, otherwise it would have been quite a show."

Player are discussing the game.

The Forum was also in an uproar, with many Steel Players cursing and insisting that the Dawn City Lord had used underhanded tactics to kill Augustine.

However, the Player in Dawn City and Black Rock were not happy about this, and they were now all on the same side.

The current Dawn City Lord is their leader, their boss, their superior, and the BOSS who led them to victory in the war.

Some people directly produced photos and videos of Lotner and others, releasing their alibis, making it seem like a case had been solved.

But the Steel Players was already in a state of panic, basically acting like nothing they said mattered.

One of the human Player, named ' Light of Freedom ', posted a message!

Will the army of freedom ultimately be defeated by the Nobles?

The post is complicated.

It constantly criticizes how rubbish the Nobles system is, and narrates how NPC slaves and Commoners, who are just like ordinary people, are being persecuted.

They even said that since we Player are the Chosen Ones, we are the saviors who save Intelligent Races from suffering, and we shouldn't stand by and watch NPCs suffer.

He went even further, naming the Dawn City Lord directly, saying he was just a Mercenary dealer who fought for the sake of fighting.

It was also said that William knew he was Neutral Lord, yet he still created the treacherous Dawn Mercenary Group just to make a fortune from the war.

The post received tens of thousands of replies from Steel Players, used to bolster morale and attract more Player to the Ironclad faction.

You know what?

When moral blackmail and political ideology are used to justify anything, many Player will simply follow the trend and back down...

Fortunately, these kinds of posts are simply designed to attract Newbie Player.

It holds absolutely no Gravity for Player who have already joined the Dawn Mercenary Group.

There's no other way.

The benefits are amazing!

It's so good that Player can't even move!

The fact that neither the Glory Club Prosperous Millennium Club showed any sign of wavering further boosted the confidence of many Player in the Dawn Corps.

Furthermore, Player in Dawn City posted a protest thread, without saying anything else, but simply filmed and posted videos of the city's beautiful scenery, leisurely environment, and virtually safe security.

The post also mentioned, " In Dawn City, we have no slaves, only beautiful women and handsome men!"

William burst through the door looking utterly Xixi, like a ghost. When Moxis saw him, he was so frightened that he almost threw the cat at William's face.

The City Lord twitched his lips, watching him lift the cat, and couldn't help but say, "What, what, don't you recognize me?"

"I recognize you... but you're too ugly, I don't want to talk to you." Moxis was a man with mysophobia, who only cared about looks and not status or strength.

The Prince, too lazy to engage in verbal sparring, simply threw Augustine's corpse on the ground behind him.

Moxis had already seen the corpse. He raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"If the soul hasn't dissipated, can it be resurrected?"

"Why?"

"No need to ask, he's a genius after all. His resurrection would be a great help to me." William raised an eyebrow. He had considered using Soul Control before.

But a man of Augustine's strong will was clearly beyond control.

But resurrection is another matter...

Maybe it will reduce some of his memories or something, giving him more options.

William also believed that Moxis definitely had the ability to erase memories.

Unfortunately, President Mo lazily shrugged and waved his hand at him. "Why should I go to so much trouble to revive him?"

William plopped down in a chair and kicked Augustine in the face. "What do you want in return?"

Moxis twitched his lips, and couldn't help but say, "He's not completely dead yet. You can see him in his spirit form..."

"Oh, oh." William quickly let go of his foot.

result,

Click.

As he got up, he crushed Augustine's finger, which was already showing its bone.

His Prince, facing Augustine's corpse, wore a forced smile that seemed to say, "I didn't mean to..."

"Tsk tsk..." Moxis grinned and shook his head, seemingly already seeing Augustine's ferocious and crazed state in his soul form.

"Tell me, what do you want in return?" William was weighing his precious possession, wondering what else Moxis might want, and whether he should pay too high a price for Augustine.

"Remaining Dragon Blood? Or my body... Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey."

Moxis, unaware of his thoughts, merely raised an eyebrow, then swiftly collected Augustine's corpse and chuckled at William, "I'll resurrect you for free, but I'll have to use this person for now."

"..." William twitched his lips.

"For how long?"

"It will take at least a year and a half, or at least two months, but don't get your hopes up too high." Moxis has recently made some new progress in his research on Soul Magic.

It has to be said.

Augustine's current condition is perfect for serving as his research material...

"Won't he turn into an idiot?" William asked worriedly. He was unwilling to lose such a Legendary expert with combat power, whom he had finally found.

"Pah, if this guy's soul gets taken away, he'll definitely become an idiot, and then he'll just be a puppet with combat experience." Moxis severed the soul threads that ordinary people couldn't see with a slap, and turned to walk into William's private Laboratory, which he had never been to before.

William glanced at the somewhat bewildered Black Cat, then turned and left...

But they were both alright.

Hundreds of miles away, Goethe Nassis was struck as if by a heavy blow. His whole body trembled violently, and Bleed from his seven orifices. It took him a full half hour to recover.

"Damn it, damn it, get rid of the Nobles in the country! I want to start a war within a month!" The roar was deafening.

Pierce the entire Steel Palace.

Yet no one dared to utter a single word of dissent.
