The knight quickly put the gold coins into his arms and saluted respectfully.
Just when Krober was getting impatient, the knight told him about the strange thing he had encountered.
"Your Majesty, I am a member of the Knights Order under the command of Marquis Shadow Snake. I am a full-fledged knight. Some time ago, Marquis Shadow Snake added a reward and punishment system to our Knights Order."
"Those with exceptional talent and strength in the Knights will have the privilege of receiving personal instruction from the Shadow Snake Marquis daily at his residence. They will also receive a potion specifically designed to enhance their fighting spirit."
"Many of those guys who turned into monsters today are people who have enjoyed this honor."
The knight's words also attracted the approval of many people on the side.
They are all private armies under the command of various nobles. Some time ago, the nobles they are loyal to also added similar reward and punishment systems.
They thought that it was a response to the rebellion, and that the nobles were taking action to inspire the morale of their knights and increase their combat effectiveness.
But unexpectedly, those who enjoyed special treatment turned into monsters.
Most of those selected by Krober were lucky ones who had just been called over recently to enjoy the honor.
After hearing what the knight said, Krober felt a little relieved.
"From today on, all of you will stay here. You can only come out when I have dealt with everything here."
"Byron, you will be in charge of this place for the time being. When my dragon knight team arrives, they will take over the defense."
After arranging the affairs of Saint Gold Castle, Krober asked Marquis Frostwolf about the current situation of the Golden Duchy.
The Frostwolf Marquis did not hide anything and said it directly in front of everyone.
"It seems that Ethelberg was the first person killed by the Mind Flayer. Do you know which direction he returned from?"
The force to which Etberg belongs has been labeled doomed by Krober.
Marquis Frostwolf shook his head. After all, Etberg was just an ordinary nobleman at the time, and he didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.
Krober waved his hand, signaling the Frostwolf Marquis to go about his business.
He called Dina, who was far away in the Azure Tide Kingdom, through a mental contract, and asked her to tell Azure the news that the Golden Duchy had discovered a space-time rift and was invaded by the enemy.
When Dina went to the Golden Duchy, she also had to inform the two superior dragon knights, Baeron Red Tulip of the Blazing Steel Kingdom and Alvis Emerald Light of the Emerald Kingdom, of this news.
The mind flayers have the same process of invading other races. First, they use their psychic powers to subdue slaves of other races, and then use the slaves to provoke civil wars among their races.
During civil wars, the mind flayers will reproduce wildly, replacing both enemies and friends with their "seeds".
When the racial civil war comes to an end, the mind flayers will jump out and turn everyone into mind flayers, thus taking over the entire world without bloodshed.
It was because of this that Krober passed on the news and general intelligence about the Mind Flayer to the rulers of several other countries through Dinah.
As Krober's messenger, Ama informed the rulers of several other countries of the invasion of the mind flayers, and by the way, found out which country's high-ranking dragon knight was killed.
“What a turbulent time…”
Even Krober felt that the situation in the whole world had become a little tense.
The frequency of invasions from other worlds is a bit too frequent.
There were not many records of invasions from other worlds in human history before, and it was obvious that the Space-Time Dragon was responsible for such things, but for some reason, the Space-Time Dragon gave up!
Put all the blame on these people.
Kroeber had a hunch that this was probably related to the beginning of the comprehensive integration of world consciousness.
Moreover, he speculated that these so-called invaders from other worlds were most likely sent in by the world consciousness itself, in order to make the other world its nourishment and become more powerful.
He had talked to the Space-Time Dragon before. The Space-Time Dragon itself feeds on the other world, so it will not have much to share with the world consciousness.
Although Krober didn't know why the world consciousness allowed this to happen, since both parties had no objection, he couldn't say anything more.
But now the relationship between them has obviously changed, so the upper dragon knights under them will be affected.
Krobe rode the Ocean Current Dragon into the sky, while Deep Purple stayed where he was to guard against enemy attacks.
The area of the Golden Duchy is at the limit of a duchy. With Krober's mental power and flying speed, he can scan it all in a few hours.
He started from Fort Saint-Gold and continued to move south. After reaching the coast, he turned northwest, so that he could perfectly detect all the territories of the Golden Duchy.
While Krober was exploring the rift in time and space, various forces were also not idle and took action one after another.
After sensing Kroeber's arrival, the collective consciousness of the Mind Flayers accelerated their pace of eroding humans. It didn't take long for the collective consciousness of the Mind Flayers to pay a price and transform all the forces headed by Etberg into Mind Flayers.
As for the Winged People, they continued their attack along the south and soon reached the border of the Topa Kingdom.
Aditya is not a dragon rider like Gassoni who has contracted a superior mineral dragon. The Emperor Orange Topaz Dragon he contracted is in charge of the concept of "soul".
Early this morning, after sensing the fall of a high-ranking dragon knight, he activated all of his golem legions and prepared for a full-scale war.
All the lower-ranking dragon knights in his country were also arranged by him in the capital.
After the Winged People arrived at the capital of the Topa Kingdom, they were first attacked by a wave of huge elements from the overwhelming legions of golems and magicians.
Despite the defense of three superior dragon knights and five superior dragons, the Winged People's lower-level soldiers still suffered heavy casualties.
"Interesting, three high-ranking dragon knights, that should mean the entire army is out."
Aditya sat on the crescent platform of the Topal Stone Dragon, looking ahead with a calm expression, as if the enemy was not a strong man of the same level as him.
"Shouldn't we retreat first? The enemy is too powerful and we can't defeat them."
Aditya's sister Angelica Tiyuzhixi spoke up and said that after all, the enemies were three superior dragon knights, and they would not be able to fight against them even if they used all their national strength.
"How is the relocation of commoners and nobles going?"
