After Martin settled down, the Continental Congress envoy quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the five elders, after discussion among the elders, it has been decided that the five elders will be assigned to the guard post, responsible for guarding the plane coordinates. In addition, as an apology, Your Majesty will be compensated with five divine power crystals."
After saying that, he mobilized the power of the knight and gently placed five crystals of divine power emitting mysterious light in front of Martin.
Martin took the divine power crystal and toyed with it casually in his hands. In an instant, a powerful force with a destructive aura came from his fingertips.
He wondered in his heart whether this divine power crystal could recharge the system, but at the moment the Continental Congress envoy was still there, so it would be better to wait until he left before making a decision.
Then, Martin said calmly, "Now that everything has been explained clearly, I won't say any more. Please go back."
The Continental Congress envoy was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He really didn't expect that Martin White would be so straightforward and not give him any face at all.
But when he thought of the three terrifyingly powerful demigod dragon knights under Martin's command, although he felt dissatisfied, he could only suppress it, turned around silently, and left the throne hall directly.
After the envoy's figure completely disappeared, Martin couldn't wait to ask the system in his mind: "Can this divine power crystal recharge the system?"
The system quickly responded, "You can recharge. These are crystals of divine power from deceased lower-level gods, each providing 100 million energy."
Martin's curiosity piqued after hearing this, and he asked, "Lower God? How many divine power crystals can a dead lower god usually have?"
The system immediately replied: "Normally, the number is around thirty."
Martin pondered secretly, it seems that the realm after demigod is most likely to be lower god. The energy required to be promoted to a lower god is as high as 5 billion, which is really a terrifying number.
Martin thought for a moment and immediately decided to recharge the divine power crystal into the system.
After several months of frantic mining day and night across the Dragon Spine Kingdom, coupled with the energy provided by these five divine power crystals, the energy on the energy panel has now accumulated to approximately 700 million.
He secretly calculated in his mind that he should be able to earn another energy soon. After all, those nobles who could live in the royal capital were all very rich.
After dealing with this matter, Martin picked up the memorial on the table and started reading it.
Most of the records in the memorials were about some difficult and serious matters reported by nobles from all over the Dragon Ridge Kingdom.
Fortunately, most of the matters were handled promptly by the dragon knights, but there were still some difficult problems to solve. The one that gave Martin the most headaches was the seal in the north.
Reports indicate that this seal appears to be increasingly draining the magical power from the North.
A month ago, Martin sent dragon knights to check it out. However, the dragon knights tried their best but could not get into the seal. Even if they tried to break it with brute force, it was of no avail.
From the report of the dragon knight, we learned that there was indeed a legendary monster imprisoned in the seal, which was actually a nine-headed snake.
After hearing this, Martin did not dare to slack off at all. He personally rode on Hefna and took Xingchen through the space crack and rushed to the north.
After careful perception, Xingchen said that there seemed to be something else inside the seal, whose power was even stronger than his own, and that power did not belong to this plane.
Martin stared at the Hydra, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this monster was not suppressed here, but seemed to be guarding something.
Seeing that it could move freely in the sealed area, Martin guessed some of the reasons.
After gaining a general understanding of the situation, he left the North directly.
After returning to the palace, Martin immediately sent a message to Marquis Roderick, informing him that the current difficulties in the North could not be solved with current capabilities.
If the Roderick family wanted to leave the North, he could arrange for the family to be stationed in the South.
After seeing Martin's reply, Marquis Roderick sat alone in his study and fell into long contemplation.
After repeated considerations, he ultimately disagreed with Martin's plan. In his view, although the problems in the North could not be solved at the moment, it did not mean that there would be no solution in the future.
Moreover, in the North, the Roderick family is the noble family with the highest status. But if they move to the South, even though His Majesty has not yet conferred a duke, there are already two marquises.
After thinking this through, Marquis Roderick replied to Martin, expressing his unwillingness to leave his homeland.
He expressed his willingness to wait until Martin was able to handle the affairs of the North in the future, and the Roderick family had enough patience.
Martin couldn't help but smile when he saw the Marquis's reply.
In fact, he had already guessed that Marquis Roderick would have such an idea, so he readily agreed to the Marquis's decision.
At this moment, Mander was attacking Dante's capital with all his might.
Just a few days ago, Lorca went deep into Dante's palace to search and successfully found the SSS-level magic item.
As he was about to leave, the cautious Roga conducted a more detailed search of the palace and the entire capital, leaving nothing unchecked, whether on the ground or underground.
After a thorough search and confirmation that there were no magic items of mass destruction, Lorga informed Mander.
Mander, who had rested for a few days before, acted decisively upon receiving the news and quickly sent all the pre-arranged legions to the battlefield.
In an instant, shouts and horn sounds intertwined together, and a fierce siege began.
The knights surged towards the walls of the royal capital like a tide, full of fighting spirit, determined to take the city in one fell swoop.
This time, Mander decisively sent all sixteen legions under his command to the battlefield, while he himself closely monitored the battle from the side.
Mand already had a plan in mind. As long as the enemy did not show up with a strong force that could compete with him in the sky, he would not act rashly.
He wanted to take this opportunity to deeply refine the knights of these sixteen legions. At that time, it would be enough to select seven elite legions and bring them back to the Dragon Spine Kingdom.
As legions continued to join the battle like a tide, the situation in the royal capital became increasingly severe, and the pressure on the defenders was like Mount Tai.
Many nobles in the city realized that the situation was not good and began to think about fleeing.
However, how could the legion commanders guarding the city let them go so easily? They were on high alert, guarding the city gates to prevent anyone from leaving the city without permission.
During this period, Mander received a lot of news from people in the city who intended to collude with him for personal gain.
But Mander was dismissive of this. He directly rejected all such requests and was determined not to allow anyone to take shortcuts in this battle.
He knew very well that the success of this legion refinement depended on the battle at hand, and he must not let these distractions interfere with the plan.
It is worth noting that, up to this point in the battle, those members of the royal family who possessed legendary strength had remained inactive.
However, there is absolutely no possibility for them to escape, after all, there are three demigod dragon knights keeping close watch here.
Previously, someone tried to escape by creating a space crack. It was not known whether he was trying to get help or just escape, but he was killed on the spot by Eric, which sounded a warning to other people who tried to escape.
