Just as Eric and Shuang Ning were quietly healing their wounds in the room, the communication crystal on Martin's waist suddenly lit up. The prompt tone was particularly clear in the silent tent. It was Yoder calling.
Martin frowned slightly and reached out to answer the call. Yoder's slightly nervous voice came from the other end: "Master, the investigation of the spies in Yulong City has been completed."
After a brief pause, Yoder hesitated but continued, "The management of Yulong City has a total of 3,000 people, and 827 of them have been found to be suspected of collaborating with the enemy. The logistics department has a total of 1,000 people, and 112 of them have been found to be traitors. There are 130 people inside the castle, of whom 15 have been confirmed to be spies. These are the traitors that have been recently identified."
Upon hearing this, Martin laughed in anger and shouted into the communicator, "Yode, I'm really doubting your current abilities! How come, after arriving in Yulong City, you've become so carried away that you don't even know who you are? Or do you want to quit and go back to where you came from?"
Yoder was extremely anxious on the other end of the line and hurriedly said, "Master, please give me another chance! I swear, I will not let you down, absolutely! If I can't handle this properly, I, Yoder, am willing to die as an apology!"
There was a silence on the other end of the communication. Martin's face was gloomy and he thought for a long time.
Finally, he spoke slowly, his tone cold: "Yode, I'll give you one last chance. If you still can't handle it this time, don't blame me for finding someone who can take on this important task."
After saying that, Martin decisively hung up the phone. The tent fell silent again, leaving only his suppressed anger spreading in the air.
Martin checked the energy on his panel and found that there was only more than 1.25 million left. He knew in his heart that this was far from enough.
Then he looked at the closed room, turned around and walked out. Seeing this, Mander immediately followed him.
At this moment, a knight hurried in to report that representatives of a powerful faction had come to compensate for the damage. Upon hearing this, Martin ordered the knight to bring them to the main tent.
After the representatives arrived at the main tent, Martin and Mander also came here.
Representatives from other factions stood up to greet Martin when he arrived, but Martin ignored them and went straight to the main seat and sat down, while Mander stood behind Martin with a serious expression.
Martin didn't hesitate and asked directly, "What about the compensation?"
The leading representative quickly handed over over thirty high-level interstellar rings. Martin took them and examined them in front of everyone. After some estimation, he had a rough idea of the value of the treasures inside, which was approximately three million gold coins.
Afterwards, Martin looked at the leading faction representative and said bluntly, "Bring two more sets of SS-class knight armor, and this matter will be written off."
When the representatives of those forces heard this, their mouths opened slightly, their faces full of disbelief.
You know, this compensation has already made them feel painful, and now Martin is asking for SS-level knight armor.
The forces behind them only had a few pieces of armor of this caliber; most were inherited. Furthermore, those who could forge SS-grade knight armor were few and far between.
However, when they thought of the legendary dragon knight Eric with terrifying strength, they felt a pang of fear in their hearts.
The leading representative hesitated for a moment and then said to Martin, "Viscount Martin, we need to go back and discuss this matter."
Martin nodded and waved his hand for them to leave.
After the representatives left, Martin turned to Mander and said, "Dispatch two knight orders to go mining. Don't worry about the ecological environment here, just go all out."
Mander received the order and immediately notified the Ninth and Tenth Knights using the communication crystal, arranging for them to go to the mining area immediately to start mining.
At this moment, Martin cannot leave this place easily. After all, all the affairs here have not yet been put on track.
In the next few days, Martin used the communication crystal to handle various affairs of Yulong City, while systematically guiding the Sixth Legion to take over all matters of Shadow Wasteland.
The many forces in Shadow City, perhaps fearing the threat of the Dragon Knight, had remained quiet for the past few days. On the third day, the two sets of SS-grade knight armor were delivered to Martin.
After Martin inspected the goods, he sent the visitor away.
Time flies, and another month has passed.
Finally, Eric and Frost finished their healing and walked out of the tent.
After hearing the news, Martin hurried to their tent. Eric and Shuang Ning saw Martin coming and saluted respectfully.
Martin waved his hand, signaling them not to be polite, and asked with concern, "Eric, Shuang Ning, are you feeling better now?"
Eric and Shuang Ning exchanged a glance, and Eric replied, "Master, our injuries have healed. Only our origins suffered some minor damage, but after a month of recuperation, they are basically fine."
Martin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked, "What about the other three legendary knights?"
Eric heard this and snorted coldly, saying, "Their situation is much more dire. If it weren't for the super strong defense of the SS-level knight armor, Shuang Ning and I would have killed them on the spot."
After hearing what Eric said, Martin took out a set of SS-level knight armor from his space ring without saying anything, handed it to Eric, and said, "Here, Eric, this is compensation from those forces."
Eric quickly took it with both hands, bowed respectfully, and said firmly, "Master, please rest assured. With this set of armor, if I encounter these three again, I will kill them all."
Martin nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am naturally aware of your abilities."
Afterwards, Martin headed to the mining area. Once there, he methodically collected a wave of ore, and then immediately stored all the supplies and wealth he had obtained from collecting tolls and robbing caravans into his space ring.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, Martin had begun to form a knight group specifically responsible for robbery.
He spent more than 1.35 million energies to successfully promote this knight group and named it "Shadow Bandits".
Now, the trade route has been opened, the situation is gradually getting back on track, and Eric and Shuang Ning's injuries have healed.
Taking all the circumstances into consideration, Martin decided to return to Yulong City to see the current situation of Yulong City. By the way, he planned to promote Hefna to a legendary dragon. In this way, he could maximize the protective power around him.
A few days later, after Martin had explained all the subsequent matters in detail, he asked Eric and Frost Ning to escort him back.
The next second, Martin appeared in the castle of Yulong City. Soon, the maid reported the news of Martin's return to the housekeeper Lilith.
Upon hearing the news, Lilith hurried over. When she saw Martin, she said respectfully, "Master, you have worked hard."
