"De de de de de de de!"
The mocking sound of the erhu echoed across the battlefield through the speakers. With the system's mission notifications, it could be said that the crisis in Titan City had been barely weathered.
How the hell do they know what the ultimate mission of Volume One is?!
Should you send them on their way, or steal their Ring?
Of course, if the Nordic bishop, controlled by that demon god, were to secretly return and launch a counterattack, Xiao Han would have no choice but to borrow the tiger's might and take advantage of Ophina's ability to transcend time and break the deadlock with a single sword strike. Perhaps he would also have a backup plan that could not only scare away the Nordic bishop but also potentially kill that treacherous old dog.
But in reality, if Ophian really had a backup plan, and if safety was guaranteed, Xiao Han wouldn't mind taking a long trip to kill Bishop Nord and send him to the abyss.
Those who offend my little fox, though far away, shall be punished! (Included in the Little Fox's Sayings)
"Little fox, how about we talk?"
Minnie landed gracefully on the ground, her slender hands kneading the hair that fell in front of her breastplate. She raised her beautiful emerald eyes and gazed at Xiao Han, her eyes clear and bright, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.
"No need to discuss it. If you truly have demonic blood, I will conceal it for you in the name of the sage."
Xiao Han turned around, adopting the persona of a sage, and laughed, "If even the main force fighting against the Demon King is the Demon God's minions, then I am actually the Demon King in the guise of a sage."
"Yes, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Minise retracted her blood-scale tentacles. As a layer of dark red magic patterns flickered in the void, a small section of her smooth, snow-white skin was exposed through the pierced carapace, leaving no trace of injury.
However, the way she stared at Xiao Han was quite intriguing.
"Sage, what will you do after you take control of Titan City?"
Minnie asked directly. She understood Xiao Han's intentions; there was no need for further explanation. Those who understood, understood.
It's just unknown what path this "sage" intends to lead Titan City onto.
newborn,
Or destruction?
The legendary heroes who rose from humble beginnings are just like that. Starting from a small town, they fought for control of the northern plains, vying for land, participating in the vortex of power struggles, and eventually becoming a regional lord, possessing wealth that rivals that of a nation and matching it with terrifying military power.
"Prosperity and peace."
Xiao Han responded using the simplest words.
He nodded, looking at the clever and witty girl, a dazzling light flashing in his eyes.
Bishop Nord could understand the terror of Xiao Han, so how could Minise, with her intelligence, not be able to deduce it as well?
With the help of Ophina, he possessed immense power, enough to rule an entire city by himself. Even Minnie, who usually suppressed him out of fear of his power, had no choice but to bow down to him at this moment.
With the fall of the Divine Court, the Gubang family exists in name only, the Tulip family is severely weakened, and the Little Fox's power rises, becoming several times more ruthless than the Dark Raven Guild led by Minnie!
There are over a hundred newly recruited Silver-rank experts alone.
And he, the little fox, disguised as a sage and a novice demon king, was the real hero who defeated the Gluttonous Demon King, and naturally became the biggest winner.
After the great battle, it was time to reap the spoils. After the demon invasion and the subsequent purge, all the major families were impacted to varying degrees. Based on their strength, the power structure was reshuffled, and the profits accumulated over the city over the past hundred years were redistributed.
Rare potions, superior equipment, monopolized cultivation resources, fully-equipped facilities, manors abundant with magical materials, Darkmoon Forest, Pure Moon Swamp...
Therefore, on the other hand, he completed the first task that Ophina had given him.
Capture Titan City.
"Well then, since you, little fox, have this intention, I will assist you in ascending the throne of the Northern King."
"Huh? No... that's too early, let's talk about it another time..."
"The first step is to restore Titan City's economy and prepare supplies for the winter. The winter in the North will last for four months, which is the most difficult time."
"Four months?! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
"The second step is to train personal guards and place them in important positions. Ideally, three legions of a thousand men each should be established, focusing on mobility, to cross the wasteland in the spring and plunder the supply lines of various countries."
"So why is there going to be war after this winter?! ∑(°△°|||)! And why plunder? Why not just pretend it's happening and shift the blame to other countries?! Ahem… As a sage who upholds justice, I strongly condemn your dangerous thoughts. (~￣▽￣)~[accusation]"
"The third step is to use the looted supplies to make up for the losses suffered during the winter and to further strengthen the armed forces of Titan City..."
At this point, Minise paused, met Xiao Han's surprised gaze, smiled elegantly, and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty the Demon King from afar?"
Xiao Han: "..."
Very well, Minise indeed saw through his true form. Whether it was the demonic flames that were even darker than those of a sage, or the demonic aura that was leaked, both made Minise suspicious (he himself had the bloodline of the Gluttonous Demon King).
But he's not stupid; maybe this is just Minnie testing him.
"Sage!"
In the now quiet battlefield, several powerful onlookers ran over and greeted Xiao Han.
Some of the more easily embarrassed even showed awkward expressions, feeling ashamed that the wise ones were fighting bravely on the front lines while they, the weak, could only hide in the rear, helplessly watching the drama unfold.
"The sage has truly defeated that demon god's kin!"
"Indeed, the abundance of potential, the sun radiating endless light, and the secret arts mastered by the sage far exceed our imagination!"
"After this battle, Titan City will surely undergo a great change."
The group had differing opinions and views on Xiao Han.
"When I first looked at him, I saw that the Sage had more than sixty potential halos. Without the help of various treasures, he would have broken the limits of human beings at least forty times!"
Black Rock speculated that, faced with such a rich aura of potential, which condensed into a dazzling phoenix feather robe, draped over the sage, it was as if surrounded by stars, exuding a noble aura.
"The opponent is a powerful figure who has embarked on the path to gold. Even if we want to resist, it will be futile."
"I'm so surprised," said Ba E. "Now that Xiao Han has revealed his 'gold' combat power, his identity is naturally different from that of a Silver Supreme!"
When everyone gathered around Xiao Han, before the few powerful individuals with ulterior motives could speak, Minnie took the lead and knelt on one knee, her head bowed.
“I, Minise Christina, pledge my loyalty to the Sage, with the witness of the gods.”
She gave a sharp shout, her attitude respectful, leaving the powerful figures around her utterly astonished.
Immediately, the crocodile reacted first, kneeling on one knee next to Minnie and moving back slightly to show his respect for her, thus pledging allegiance to Xiao Han.
"I am Miss Minise's personal guard, Crocodile. I am willing to follow Miss Minise to serve the Sage, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
