"From this day forward, I am your subordinate lord!"
"I hereby swear that I will never betray you!"
"I will always be loyal to you alone!"
"Where your sword points, that is the direction I will advance!"
An Ruoyun's gaze was intense, and a hint of determination flashed across her eyes.
Su Bai nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, since you've chosen to become my vassal, I won't treat you unfairly."
As Su Bai's gaze fell on An Ruoyun, lines of information quickly popped up in front of him.
[Subordinate Lord: An Ruoyun]
[Level: Excellent]
Race: Murloc
[Characteristics: Fishman soldiers can survive on the seabed, and the lord himself also possesses the ability to breathe underwater.]
...
[Subsidiary Territories]
Territory Level: Lv15
Area: 60,000 square meters
Completeness: 100%
Reputation Points: 660?
[Reputation Title: Somewhat Famous]
Kill Value: 0
[Kill Title: None]
[Territory Buildings: Barracks Lv15, Manor Lv10, Watchtower Lv10, Murloc Training Base Lv10]
[Note: If the main city territory is destroyed, the subordinate territories will also be destroyed.]
[Note: Soldiers within subordinate territories will take priority in obeying the orders of the lord of the main city.]
These last two points will greatly ensure the absolute loyalty of the vassal lord.
Because the priority of commanding soldiers is no longer the first priority.
Even if they wanted to rebel, they were powerless and had no way to do so.
Furthermore, the restrictions in the first point of attention ensure that subordinate lords will always do their utmost to protect the main city territory.
“Now, we can say that we are in the same boat, sharing both prosperity and adversity,” Su Bai said.
An Ruoyun solemnly said, "If the main city territory is destroyed, the subordinate territories will also be destroyed. To me, it's not just about sharing honor and disgrace, but about doing everything in my power to protect your territory."
Hearing this, Su Bai nodded in satisfaction.
In fact, he knew perfectly well that An Ruoyun's choice to become his subordinate lord was based on a certain trade-off of interests.
However, the reason I chose to accept them was also because I valued the unique talents possessed by the merfolk race.
However, An Ruoyun's current attitude is quite satisfactory.
In the Land of Redemption, acquiring subordinate territories is not so easy.
Due to the restrictions of the two points mentioned above, most people are unwilling to become someone else's vassal lord.
After all, this is equivalent to handing over everything to the lord of the main city.
It is usually the lords who are strong and have good character who are able to have their own vassal territories.
"By the way, how old are you?"
An Ruoyun gazed at Su Bai, a hint of curiosity in her dark pupils.
She still wanted to know which year Su Bai became a lord.
Eighteen years old!
Su Bai, being straightforward, readily agreed.
There is no need to deliberately hide it from one's vassal lords.
Because the relationship between the two parties is no small matter.
"My God! Eighteen years old?"
"You are actually the lord who arrived this year!"
"In other words, you are the one who has topped the list of newly promoted lords!"
An Ruoyun stared in disbelief, her fair hand covering her chest, trying to calm her excited emotions as quickly as possible.
Today is my first day as a subordinate lord, and it would be inappropriate to lose my composure in front of Su Bai.
"Is it really that surprising? It's just being number one on the leaderboard, nothing special."
Su Bai smiled slightly, his face completely calm.
An Ruoyun spoke rapidly, a blush rising on her fair face.
Clearly, she couldn't suppress her excitement.
"But your first place is extremely valuable!"
"The total points not only exceed the sum of the second to tenth place rankings, but are also ten times that of last year's top player!"
"Having brought national fortune rewards multiple times in a row, your name is now known throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom!"
"How could I not be excited to have such an amazing person standing right in front of me!"
"Most importantly, I've unexpectedly become your subordinate lord by some twist of fate!"
"You'll be so proud to talk about it later!"
Looking at the excited girl in front of him, Su Bai smiled helplessly: "I'm just an ordinary lord, not as mysterious as you make me out to be."
"Actually, what I really want to know is, you've only been in the Land of Redemption for a little over half a month, how exactly did you manage to develop such a large force in such a short time?"
An Ruoyun seemed to transform into a little fangirl, blurting out all the questions that had been lurking in her heart.
Su Bai cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Talent and luck are both indispensable."
"One last question!" An Ruoyun asked, "I'd like to ask what quality your Lord's Mark is?"
"Epic or higher." Su Bai smiled slightly.
"No wonder it's so powerful!"
An Ruoyun suddenly realized.
Su Bai continued, "You chose to trust me and become my first vassal lord, and I will not treat you unfairly."
"Next, you will lead the merman soldiers to continue clearing out the wild beasts and local forces around the territory."
"If you discover the territories of other lords, especially those of the Japanese, South Koreans, Indians, and Americans, notify me immediately."
An Ruoyun nodded emphatically, "I've got it."
"In that case, I'll head back now." Su Bai paused, then changed the subject: "By the way, don't worry about the special disaster two days from now, I'll help you."
"Really? That's great! Thank you!"
An Ruoyun was overjoyed, a hint of excitement showing in her eyes.
"See you later!"
Su Bai waved his hand and activated the fixed-point teleportation between the two territories.
The next moment.
The light flickered.
Su Bai and the swarm of insects vanished from the spot.
An Ruoyun's red lips curved slightly, her heart filled with joy.
"Su Bai is not only handsome, but also has such a good character."
“I have a feeling that becoming his vassal lord will be a very correct and wise decision.”
"If in the future, the number of Su Bai's subordinate lords becomes very large."
"Then I am his first subordinate lord, so my treatment will definitely be different from others."
"From now on, my task is to wholeheartedly assist Su Bai and help him become even stronger!"
...
...
at the same time.
Su Bai and the swarm of insects were already standing on the ground covered with creep within their territory.
"The ability to freely teleport between subordinate territories and one's own territory is very convenient, and it will allow for rapid reinforcement should war break out in the future."
An Ruoyun's vassal territory is a force that truly belongs entirely to Su Bai.
