Everyone looked at Qin Mo, their eyes filled with envy—envy of his strength and good fortune. Most of them had never encountered an orc warlord, and even if they did, they weren't guaranteed to defeat him.

"With his close elven brothers backing him up, becoming a warlord is a piece of cake for him. It's not surprising that Your Majesty would be so pleased! Hahaha...ha!"

As Wang Renbi laughed, countless eyes in the hall turned to Qin Mo, each with a different meaning: envy, jealousy, and even contempt.

Qin Mo didn't say anything, but got up and straightened her clothes. Then she walked up to Wang Renbi and kicked him before he could continue laughing.

"Boom!" Wang Renbi's magnificent robes fluttered in the wind like a butterfly spreading its wings, carrying his body directly to the back wall of the main hall.

"Qin Mo, how dare you hit me? I was magnanimous last time and didn't hold it against you, but you dare to be so arrogant... You're dead... You're dead this time."

After sliding off the wall, Wang Renbi immediately jumped up, pointing and cursing, but his feet seemed nailed to the ground and did not move an inch.

Except for a very few people who didn't understand Qin Mo's move, everyone else knew that Qin Mo had held back. Wang Renbi flew so far without being injured at all, which showed that Qin Mo's control over his power far surpassed that of the others.

"I'll wait for you here and see how you kill me," Qin Mo said coldly, turning around and sitting back down, ignoring Wang Renbi's curses.

"Who dares to make such a racket here?" Zhao Qirui strode into the main hall, and immediately all was silent. Even Wang Renbi returned to his seat, saying nothing. Zhao Qirui was not like Chen Xuanji, who would allow him to act so presumptuously.

"I have summoned you all here today for two reasons. First, it is about military merits, which I believe the commander has already explained to you."

"The second thing is to inform everyone that the orcs will be besieging the city soon. From today onwards, the trading city will be under lockdown, and no one is allowed to leave."
