Martin summoned Roland and told him to bring the recent profits of Luoqiu Town and Yulong City.
In just a moment, Roland came quickly and respectfully presented nine high-level space rings that glowed with a faint blue light.
Martin took the ring, tapped it lightly with his fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "Immediately begin the process of purchasing 30,000 strong slaves and some trained slaves. Focus on training instructors, and continue to replenish them without interruption."
"The stock of knight armor is still sufficient, but the stockpile of healing potions must be increased, and commercial slaves must also be purchased continuously." Roland lowered his head and wrote down the instructions one by one. After Martin left, he bowed and left the study.
After the door closed, Martin placed the nine rings neatly on the sandalwood table. A faint glow shone in his palm as he charged the systems one by one.
As energy was injected, the numbers on the system panel kept changing and growing rapidly. The things in the space ring slowly disappeared until they were all gone.
When he counted the energy, he discovered that the energy contained in the ore far exceeded that of the gold coins. His eyes flickered slightly, "It seems we need to find another vein. I'm afraid the Viscount's territory can't meet our needs."
[Host: Martin]
[Level: Knight Squire]
[Sworn Guards: 3,118 people, one dragon]
Energy: 2,738,820
Staring at the numbers on the system panel, Martin's lips curled up in a cold arc. It was time to start the follow-up plan.
He shifted his thoughts slightly and asked the system, "Can I contract with a creature that has already cultivated?" The response came swiftly: "Yes, but the energy required is halved. A Knight Squire-level contract only requires 25 energy points."
Martin's fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the ring, his cold eyes full of solemnity.
He knew that in this turbulent situation, any negligence could bring about a catastrophe. Even though he already had powerful forces such as the Dragon Knight Eric and the Frost Dragon Frost Ning under his command.
But the opponent dared to openly become the enemy of Yulong City, so he must have hidden means to restrain the Dragon Knight.
Among the high-end combat forces around him, only Shuang Ning has not yet established a contract with him. Thinking of this, Martin became more and more uneasy.
Although magic items are powerful, there are still variables. If someone can destroy the powerful SS-level magic item, or control it at all costs, then under the enemy's surprise attack, your side will suffer heavy losses.
After making up his mind, Martin took out the communication crystal without hesitation and summoned Eric and Frost.
Soon, the two figures appeared in the study. Martin, with a serious expression, expressed all his doubts.
When Shuang Ning heard this, the chill in her body suddenly surged, and her eyes were full of anger and grievance: "Eric and I truly love each other, how could I do such a thing as betrayal!" Her voice trembled with excitement, and the temperature around her dropped sharply, and the cold was biting.
Seeing this, Eric hurried forward and took Shuang Ning into his arms, gently comforting her: "Calm down, Shuang Ning, the young master is also thinking about the overall situation."
With her lover's comfort, Shuang Ning's mood eased a little, but there was still dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Martin's expression remained unchanged as he pulled out a potion bottle containing a mixture of grape juice and wine, the surface of which shone with a strange hue. "Declare your allegiance to me and drink this 'poison.'"
"When the war is over, I will give you the antidote."
Frost was so angry that he was trembling all over. The cold air around him almost condensed into substance, and the surfaces of the objects in the study were instantly covered with white frost.
Eric hurriedly shouted: "Shuang Ning, calm down!"
Frost Ning looked at the concern and worry in Eric's eyes. Although she felt unwilling, she still gritted her teeth and said, "I, Frost Ning, am loyal to Martin." Then, she snatched the bottle of medicine, tilted her head back and drank the liquid inside.
After drinking the mixed drink, Frost's condition became extremely unstable. In the system interface in front of Martin, Frost's loyalty value jumped back and forth between fifty-nine and sixty.
When the value froze at 60, Martin acted decisively. A tremendous 250,000 energies surged out of the system, establishing a contract with Shuang Ning.
The moment the contract was completed, Shuang Ning felt a warm and powerful energy surging into her body. Her original anger and uneasiness gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an unprecedented sense of security and strength. She looked at Martin with eyes full of loyalty.
Martin signaled Eric to remove the Dragon Summoning Ring. A soft halo suddenly appeared around Frost Condensation. A halo with flowing runes slowly peeled off and hovered in Eric's palm. Then, he handed the Dragon Summoning Ring to Martin.
Eric was worried about Frost Ning's situation. He used the Equal Contract to check on Frost Ning's condition, but he noticed that her emotions were surging - without the confinement of the Dragon Ring, Frost Ning's dusty memories were reviving.
Eric met Shuang Ning's suddenly complicated gaze, and his heart tightened. The power of the knight gathered at his fingertips: "Shuang Ning, if you don't want to..."
Before he finished speaking, the contract rune appeared faintly in his palm. Shuang Ning suddenly grabbed his wrist, tears welling in her eyes. "Don't..."
Her voice trembled, and the days and nights of fighting side by side and the warmth of supporting each other now surged into her mind.
"Okay." Martin chuckled, interrupting the tense atmosphere. "Frost hasn't even spoken yet, and you're already so anxious." He turned to Frost and said, "Now, are you still willing to be Eric's wife?"
Frost stared at Eric's nervous and expectant face, and the emotions that were suppressed by the Dragon Taming Ring burst out completely.
He had never considered her a slave, but rather a partner in battle. Memories flooded through her mind like a tide, and she nodded gently.
Eric let out a low cry and hugged Frost Ning tightly in his arms. The sound of armor colliding was mixed with suppressed sobs.
Martin looked at the two people hugging each other, a smile crept into the corner of his eyes, and waved his hand: "Go." Eric and Shuang Ning bowed and retreated.
