Every Kind of Sycophant
The relocation of the entire tribe cannot be resolved in a single day.
William sent Nock with 1,000 men to move with them, while he returned to the capital with Fiu Lesse and the rest of his men. With Fiu Lesse in his hands, the Minotaur Tribe, having lost its leader, dared not easily rebel.
Especially since they had just pledged allegiance, oaths are often more important than many other things for people of this era.
However, one should always be wary of others; this was a habit William consistently adhered to.
What's interesting is...
William's return has also drawn the attention of Player.
Changli Jiugu secretly observed from the bushes by the street, Insight they were thrown out one by one.
It's no big deal if you just toss it like that!
He was surprised to discover that the Elven Warrior closely following William were all Elite NPCs, even chief NPCs, and there were even quite a few Grandmaster-Class NPCs...
What's so special about that?
A BOSS Legion?
And as he cast an Insight on the Minotaur, he also unleashed an Epic-Class Minotaur Warrior!
"Tsk tsk, these city walls are as high as cliffs, and these streets..." Fiu Lesse paused, unable to find a better word, then nodded in praise, "They're bright and spacious, easy and comfortable to walk on, no discomfort under your feet. The City Lord governing!"
Fiu Lesse tirelessly patted the horses, even taking pictures the entire way.
William glanced at his cow hooves, but smiled without saying a word.
After all, the Minotaur was licking him comfortably and happily. Just the fact that an uncultured Minotaur could lick him all the way was enough to make him feel great!
Although William never considered himself the kind of foolish ruler who would give favors just because of horses!
But he couldn't help but say, "Licking is a skill too, so be rewarded. I'll have someone take you to the Blacksmith Workshop and have a set of Silver Gear and Gold Weapon made to your specifications!"
"This... this is terrible! Thank you for your grace, Master!" Fiu Lesse bowed obsequiously in respect.
"Damn, you can find all kinds of simps?" Changli Jiugu's eyes widened with disdain upon hearing these words, but her tongue involuntarily licked her lips.
"Why don't you go lick it too!"
"Hmm... hmm?" Changli Jiugu had just nodded when he cautiously turned around and found the Angry Little Fatty next to him, also watching the army returning to the city.
"You..." Changli Jiugu pointed at Little Fatty with a conflicted expression, but didn't say anything too harsh.
"Look above my head, there's no live stream icon, don't worry!"
"Oh." Changli Jiugu patted her chest, but couldn't help rolling her eyes. "You scared me to death, you bastard!"
"But I've started recording!" The Little Fatty boy raised an eyebrow expressionlessly.
"Big brother, I was wrong."
"Good boy." Little Fatty was about to laugh when he saw Changli Jiugu's unfriendly expression, so he quickly explained, "You want to lick her, and I want to too, but the key is that she's Legendary Boss. It's her skill to lick Epic Boss. We Player are too low-level, we have no chance at all."
"I know that, but how can we not try?" Changli Jiugu looked at the returning army, who were being cheered by the Commoners, and suddenly an idea came to her.
"What's the meaning?"
"Let's rush in and try to gain his favor. We're Mercenary under his command, so rushing in won't get us killed. Even if we lose some goodwill, it doesn't matter. We can always win it back later." Changli Jiugu really wanted to give it a try.
After all, each NPC has different habits.
Some NPCs respond better to gentle persuasion than force, while others are impervious to both.
Some NPCs are masochists, and you can only gain their favor by beating them up!
Who knows what hobbies this Legendary Boss has?
With so many virtual games available, many Player focus on building up NPC favorability, mastering various tricks and sharing their experiences. This thrilling and risky approach of showing off is not highly recommended, but the difference between the two is too great, and only by trying can one gain the opportunity.
"Then let's all go together." Little Fatty clenched his fist, deciding to take the risk as well.
"Okay, but you have to turn off your recording too!"
"Good."
"1"
"2"
"3"
Two figures who had been secretly observing suddenly blocked the army. Many Commoners and soldiers looked displeased, not expecting anyone to be so unreasonable as to dare to provoke Gui Sheng's army.
Beep beep beep beep...
Both of them heard a lot of information that lowered their favorability.
But the key point is...
They have not yet received any positive feedback from City Lord William.
Since Changli Jiugu dared to make the suggestion, his skill in flattery was undoubtedly well-deserved, displaying the demeanor of a master of flattery.
Seeing William looking at them with great interest, he immediately pulled the Little Pig down to kneel on one knee and said with gratitude, "Welcome back victorious, Lord! My brother and I are overjoyed to see this."
As she spoke, Changli Jiugu looked as if she had done something wrong and deserved to be punished.
Overwhelmed with grief, he drew his weapon, pointed it at his own arm, and said with a sorrowful expression, "I rushed out here because I couldn't control my emotions. I, Changli Jiugu, deeply regret my actions. Today, I will cut off my own arm. I hope the Commander will forgive me."
"Holy crap..." The Angry Little Fatty, and he regretted not turning on the recording.
"Wait..."
"Grown ups."
"Are you one of my Mercenary?" William, riding his warhorse, leaned forward slightly as he looked at the two men. They were both former celebrities, and he couldn't help but feel like laughing.
Changli Jiugu revealed the badge on his chest and said happily, "That's right. My brother and I originally wanted to join the army, but we weren't qualified enough, so we could only become Mercenary in the Dawn Mercenary Group. We were just happy to be under your command!"
William chuckled, as if looking at outstanding juniors. "Very well, your offense against this City Lord is not a major matter, but you still cannot escape punishment. Tomorrow you will accompany me into the mountains. If there is an opportunity for you to prove yourselves, don't let me down."
"Thank you, City Lord! Thank you, City Lord!" The two expressed their gratitude one after another, then stepped back to the sides, watching the Legion pass through the city.
The two felt a sense of satisfaction, realizing that the Adventure had been worthwhile.
As for the other Commoners, they quickly forgot about it and cheered for the army again.
Every time the army of Dawn City returned victorious, they would pass through the city in great fanfare, which was also William's intention.
He wanted to use the military to improve public morale and security.
The results over the past six months have been increasingly positive, to the point that many people have come to regard William as Faith in their hearts.
After all, the development of a lord's city depends most on its City Lord. William provides them with food, drink, money, and Glory; how could they not be grateful?
One of the key points is...
William's innate Talent is indeed quite overpowered; while the results aren't always perfect, he has certainly garnered immense popularity among the city's Commoners.
"Being able to adjust one's own favorability towards Player? Interesting." William returned home with a smile, without increasing the favorability of these two guys.
Because their actions were somewhat excessive, he didn't want other Player to follow suit and disrupt his future progress.
However, he also gave the two hope of following him, in order to spread his power and thus attract a large number of Player to Dawn City.
Both the Angry Little Fatty and Changli Jiugu were relatively famous in their previous lives.
A streamer with a huge Streamer and a Professional Players with exceptional skills who has won a world team championship are both promising talents who can showcase their abilities...
I clearly posted it at midnight yesterday, but I did so to make it easier for you guys to read... and you actually said I stopped updating... You shameless old scoundrels.
Okay, just kidding.
I can't add any more chapters. I still have two weeks of recommendations left. If I add more chapters, the word count will explode, and the book will be ruined once it's released.
Please understand, my new book needs your loving Recommendation Ticket, so please send them over!
