"Get up, lazy bum," Martin said softly.

Hearing this, Xingchen slowly opened her big round eyes and looked at Martin quietly.

Martin's heart moved, and he couldn't help but lean over and give her a gentle kiss.

A few hours passed quietly and before I knew it, it was noon.

He picked up the communication crystal and informed the maids to prepare for washing.

Not long after, there was a soft knock on the door. "Come in."

Martin said to the door.

The maids filed in in an orderly manner, carefully putting special washing clothes on the two of them, and then led them to the bathroom.

When the bathroom door was pushed open, six or seven maids were seen waiting inside for a long time.

Xingchen felt a little embarrassed with so many people present, and couldn't help but look at Martin.

Martin understood what he meant and asked Xingchen what he thought through his mind.

After learning of her intentions, Martin ordered all the maids to wait outside.

The maids obeyed the order and quickly left the bathroom.

This time, the two of them did not laugh and play as usual.

After cleaning, Martin said to the maid waiting outside, "Come in and clean the bathroom in a few minutes."

After saying that, he casually opened a space crack and stepped into it with the stars.

In the blink of an eye, the two returned to Xingchen's room.

At this time, Xingchen's room had been tidied and cleaned.

The two helped each other to put on their clothes.

Afterwards, Martin was about to go out with Xingchen, but Xingchen was shy and wanted Martin to go out first and she would go later.

Martin couldn't help laughing at her somewhat self-defeating behavior.

But when he saw Xingchen's cute angry look, he quickly put away his smile, gently hugged Xingchen in his arms, and held her for a long time before letting go.

The two of them were intimate for a while, and then Martin was ready to leave.

At that moment, a court knight hurried in to report that Lord Malcador was in the throne room and had important matters to report to His Majesty.

Martin looked at Xingchen's room, then said to Xingchen through his mind: "We can't have dinner together."

Xingchen expressed his understanding sympathetically and asked Martin to go and handle the matter quickly, and he would go there alone later.

Martin promised to come to her after he finished dealing with the matter, and then broke off the mental connection.

After Martin said this, he directly created a crack in space and raised his leg to step in.

Before leaving, he did not forget to encourage the court knights.

After hearing this, the court knight's face flushed red, and he excitedly said that he would live up to the expectations of His Majesty.

Martin nodded with satisfaction and immediately walked into the space crack.

The next second, he appeared in the throne room.

When Malcador saw Martin coming, he bowed respectfully.

Martin waved his hand casually, then sat on the throne and asked, "Malcador, what is the matter?"

Malcador was silent for a moment, as if he was gathering his thoughts and organizing his words.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Continent has now been completely conquered by us, and the relevant takeover work is gradually progressing. However, the nobles of the Northern Continent surrendered without much resistance."

"However, in reality, they are still secretly controlling their fiefdoms. If we were to use coercive measures, we would be worried about triggering a chain reaction. After all, they have already surrendered, and according to the rules among the nobles..."

Before he could finish his words, Martin interrupted him.

"What's that between the nobles? Is it the so-called unspoken rules? Who has the final say on the entire continent now? It's me, Martin White! The old rules of the past are no longer applicable now. I will grant you sufficient authority, and you can just go ahead and discipline those nobles of the Northern Continent."

"In my opinion, there's no need to maintain that false balance. With dragon knights, numerous logistics management officials, and a powerful legion in place, if those nobles dare to harbor even the slightest sign of resistance, they will be killed without mercy, thus appeasing the local civilians."

"But for those nobles who are sensible and willing to cooperate, we must adopt a conciliatory policy. Do you understand, Malcador?"

Malcador was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. While he understood His Majesty's intentions, his limited understanding made it difficult to judge the rightness of His Majesty's decision.

However, he knew in his heart that it was right to follow the emperor's orders.

Malcador then prepared to take his leave and proceed to carry out his duties in accordance with His Majesty's instructions.

Just then, Martin called him.

"The Northern Continent has just been recovered, and the garrison areas of the various legions and dragon knights have yet to be determined. I will first transfer twenty dragon knights from the Western Continent to assist you in stabilizing the situation."

"Remember, even if there are casualties in the process, don't worry. I will fully support you behind the scenes. Just do as I say." Upon hearing this, Malcador saluted respectfully again and then retreated.

After Malcador left, Martin checked the panel and found that the energy level was over 3 trillion.

Through his mind, he transferred the fourth batch of dragon knights who had been promoted to middle-level gods some time ago to the Northern Continent, and told them to obey Malcador's command. If they encountered any orders that they felt were too outrageous, they could report to him in advance.

Afterwards, Martin expended a great deal of energy to promote Malcador and his three companions, as well as the stars, to lower and higher gods respectively.

After all the operations, most of the energy is consumed.

Martin noticed that the energy growth rate had slowed down significantly recently, so he contacted Kate who was in the crystal plane.

Kate told him that now only the purple area remained on the crystal plane, and that there was nothing underneath the area where the crystal disappeared, and sounds like breaking glass could be heard from time to time.

Kate said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I feel like this plane is about to collapse. I used to be able to see the five-colored crystal people, but now I haven't seen them for a long time."

Martin fell into a brief silence. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Kate, I will open the crystal plane in one day. According to the speed of time you have, it will be equivalent to about ten days."

"Now, have everyone rest here. Don't continue digging for crystals, and don't put your hands on them anymore."

"You must prepare in advance. Once I open the crystal plane and the dragon beast army evacuates, you will seize the plane core. Do you understand?"

Kate quickly responded to say that she understood and promised to follow Martin's orders seriously.

Martin then hung up the call.
