The front lines were bustling with activity as the three major powers received news that the Purple Fire Mercenary Group had been expelled from the organization.

The main base was breached, ninety percent of the territory was annexed, and all resources were plundered.

The allied forces of the four kingdoms acted swiftly, turning the world upside down almost overnight.

"Fast, accurate, and ruthless!"

Ariel made her assessment, her expression slightly grave; those four generals were more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

However, for the time being, this is a good thing for them.

The allied forces of the four kingdoms need to digest this land in a short period of time, so they are unlikely to start another war.

At least for the foreseeable future, the two sides will live in peace.

When Su Qing returned, she naturally heard the news, but she was not happy.

Because he heard another piece of news.

The leader of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group escaped, taking a few trusted followers and fighting his way out before fleeing.

This is a very unstable factor, and we must find a way to suppress it!

Su Qing pondered, but since she didn't even know where the other party was, there was no point in thinking too much.

But the commander probably didn't expect that it was his own idea, right?

After all, he was fighting to the death with the allied forces of the four kingdoms in Lily Territory one minute, and then he went to give advice to others the next. No normal person would make that connection.

Su Qing comforted herself and immediately felt relieved and healthy.

He was still quite worried about getting into trouble, after all, the mercenary leader looked like he was being chased and killed badly, but he was still a glorious peak-level figure.

For a long time afterward, Su Qing stayed in the city, occasionally going out to retrieve the goods she had agreed upon with the old fox.

After completing the transaction, they retreated back into the city.

Until the female lord dragged him out again.

The vast territory of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group was enough for the four kingdoms to report back to their respective kings, so the four generals had no interest in starting a war.

This holy war ended prematurely in this region, and in a way that resulted in a win-win situation for both sides—something no one could have predicted.

The leader of the Purple Fire Mercenary Group, the only one who suffered a huge loss, was now nowhere to be found.

The reason why the female lord of Lily Territory found Su Qing was because of a letter requesting help that had just been delivered.

The Chaotic Territory is vast, with many regions. Although some factions are not located in the same region, they have a good relationship with each other.

The Azure Blade Gang is a faction with good relations with the Lily Territory. It is located in the neighboring region and faces attacks from several other kingdoms.

It's clear they can't hold on any longer, and after learning that Lily Territory is in a better position, they sent people to ask for help!

After reading the letter requesting aid and hearing Ariel's words, Su Qing shrugged. He understood his lord's meaning; he hoped Su Qing would join the reinforcements.

In reality, this was not a good job. The letter was not clearly described, but it was clear how precarious the Green Knife Gang was.

Going there to provide reinforcements could very well get you trapped and unable to escape.

In fact, if it weren't for the enticing offer from the Green Knife Gang, Ariel wouldn't have been willing to get involved in this mess.

"Just help them hold out for two months, and after that, this war will be over!"

Ariel said calmly, "If you're willing to help, I'll give you fifty taels of refined gold!"

Upon hearing these words, Su Qing's previously listless expression instantly brightened, and her eyes shone.

A piece of refined gold, the standard size of a human head, is fifty pieces. Even if it's not enough for fifty million in wealth, forty million is more than enough.

Su Qing was tempted, but even more curious about what promises the other party had made that made Ariel willing to pay such a high price to ask her to help.

However, seeing the female lord's less-than-pleasant expression, Su Qing wisely refrained from saying anything further and simply nodded in agreement.

In reality, the bargaining chip offered by the Green Knife Gang was not a treasure, but a piece of information.

The whereabouts of Ariel's father's body!

When the Lily Kingdom was destroyed, the old king died in battle, and his body was never found. Everyone thought it had been destroyed.

Judging from the letter, the leader of the Green Blade Gang knew where the body had gone, and also knew the location of a batch of treasures hidden in the Lily Kingdom.

This was an irresistible request and temptation for Ariel.

When the Lily Kingdom was destroyed, it was because its members split into many factions and fled separately with batches of treasures.

But in the end, only she escaped with the protection of several old housekeepers.

The others all died while being hunted down, but much of the treasure did not fall into their hands; instead, it was hidden away.

This is also a treasure legend that has been circulating on the mainland for a long time.

Ariel looked dazed, as if she had returned to the past.

Su Qing pondered for a moment, turning the letter in her hand over and over, then looking at the map and the information recently reported, before nodding: "I agree!"

Su Qing decided to make the trip, but she definitely wouldn't be alone; otherwise, it wouldn't count as support.

Instead, he and a distinguished old steward led a group of people there.

This group has many strong members, representing about one-third of the strength of the Lily Territory.

It should be noted that although the four kingdoms seem to have no intention of launching a war in the short term and seem quite satisfied with their current gains, no one can guarantee that the other side will not do something outrageous in the last two months.

Therefore, Ariel's behavior was somewhat irrational.

Su Qing and the others set off. The rest of the team was already prepared. Su Qing made the decision and set off immediately.

The current situation of the Green Knife Gang is extremely awkward.

There were only three factions in the area they were in, and they were facing a coalition of three kingdoms.

Just like the previous alliance of four major powers, they suffered repeated defeats and could only rely on fortified cities for defense.

What's worse is that the Azure Blade Clan lost a major city recently, which led to the allied forces of the three kingdoms almost attacking their main base.

The Green Knife Gang was filled with unease.

That fortified city was their greatest asset; they had survived several previous holy wars thanks to it. Now that the city was lost, other cities would hardly be able to play the same role.

The allied forces of the kingdom advanced triumphantly, capturing several more cities in succession, and were now very close to the Azure Blade City of the Azure Blade Legion.

"Mother, let's run!"

A young man, about twenty years old, looked flustered and terrified at the woman in the main seat.

Judging from her appearance, the woman was only in her thirties or forties, very well-maintained, with a voluptuous figure, and she held a short, blue knife in her hand, which is the origin of the name of the Green Knife Gang.

But at this moment, the woman's eyes were cold as she looked at her son, her disappointment evident.

The loss of that important city was due to my foolish son's unauthorized decision to go out of the city to fight, which resulted in heavy losses and the inability to receive reinforcements, leading to its capture.

But now that he's showing this side of himself, his cowardly nature is on full display.

"Shut up!"
