Just when the elder on duty was full of doubts, a giant hand covered with strange runes suddenly stretched out from the black hole.
Seeing this, the powerful people in the field below couldn't help but blurt out in astonishment: "Demigod! How is this possible?"
However, the giant hand completely ignored everyone's shock and reached straight towards the light column, as if trying to crush it.
Just when the giant rune hand was about to touch the beam of light, a giant hand as white as jade suddenly stretched out from the sky city and steadily blocked the fatal blow.
But the owner of the giant rune hand obviously did not intend to give up and was about to attack again.
A dragon's breath carrying the majestic power of a knight spewed out like thunder, instantly burning the giant rune hand to ashes.
Immediately afterwards, angry roars came from the black hole.
The sound was like rolling thunder, which directly shocked the defenseless domain masters below and made them bleed from all seven orifices.
Just when everyone was in unbearable pain, the owner of the giant hand as white as jade attacked again.
An invisible force spread out, instantly blocking out the devilish roar, and the people below felt a little better.
Accompanied by unwilling roars, the black hole began to slowly shrink and was finally successfully sealed in the light column.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed respectfully in the direction of the giant hand as white as jade. Then they each opened a crack in space and turned to leave.
Everyone dragged their exhausted bodies back to their respective palaces.
As soon as they entered the palace, they could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
Seeing this, the maids and servants who had been waiting for a long time quickly took action.
They carefully undressed their tired masters and then cleaned them thoroughly with professional and skilled techniques.
After cleaning, they moved very quietly and without making any noise, and gently placed the cleaned master on the bed.
Afterwards, a servant or maid was left on guard to deal with the master's possible needs, while the rest of the people left the room quietly, for fear of disturbing the sleeping master.
The elder on duty immediately started writing the report.
The casualties and details of the incident must be reported truthfully. This is an important document to be submitted to the superiors and no carelessness is allowed.
He looked focused, the pen in his hand dancing rapidly on the paper, striving to record every detail accurately.
At this moment, in the study in Yulong City, Malcador was reporting the progress of the royal territory to Martin in an orderly manner.
Malcador said respectfully, "My Lord, over the past month or so, we have focused on repairing the roads in the Royal Territory. Now, all the roads in the Royal Territory have been repaired."
"At the same time, we have set up checkpoints at various key sections of the road and started collecting tolls according to regulations. As for the construction of the royal capital, after discussing with Yoder, we have decided to expand the existing Royal Dragon City."
"Also, regarding the development of cities and towns within the royal territory, Roland and I have discussed and have adopted a strategy of attracting population from other areas."
"We are guiding some of the people from the Central and Western Territories to the Royal Territory to increase its population. Regarding military deployment, the four legions you previously led to attack the Royal Territory have now been deployed to various key transportation routes in the Royal Territory to ensure smooth and safe transportation."
"As for the remaining slave legions and the dark creatures that were indentured, we have dispersed two of them across the Royal Territory to mine minerals. We will then collect them all. The remaining four legions and the dark creatures have been placed in the border area between the Royal Territory and the Southern Territory."
After hearing Malcador's report, Martin made a decisive statement: "If that's the case, then we must immediately launch the operation to retake the southern border."
In the past month or so, thanks to the contribution of ore from several regions, Martin has accumulated more than 10 million energy.
However, due to people's crazy mining, the mining area in the west has been exhausted, and new veins have to be explored and mined again.
Although the mineral resources in the Frost Plains are much better, this is not a sustainable strategy in the long run. After all, the energy gap that will be faced in the future is too huge, which really gives Martin a headache. It seems that he has to continue to expand his territory.
Afterwards, Martin summoned a group of dragon knights and arranged for Eric and Lucas to stay in the Dragon City. At the same time, he asked the dragon knight Betan to go to the southern border to guard secretly to prevent any powerful people in the domain from suddenly attacking and catching all the dragon knights in one fell swoop.
Upon receiving the order, the dragon knights immediately rushed to the border, took over the slave legions and dark creatures stationed there, and prepared to launch an attack on the southern border in order to retake the entire southern region.
Martin did not go to the battlefield in person during this operation.
After properly arranging everything, he came to a spacious room.
There is a stone statue of an elf placed in the room. Judging from the elf's dress, it is similar to a clerk in the elf legion, usually responsible for recording all matters within the legion.
But whether it was because of its own weakness or for other reasons, after Martin took out the stone statue, it remained motionless.
In desperation, Martin could only put his hope in the system, thinking that perhaps the system could know the reason.
At this moment, the system's voice rang out in Martin's mind: "Host, due to being confined in a closed environment for a long time, this elf has become self-isolating. Even if it is unpetrified, it will be like a vegetable. Only with the help of the elves' Tree of Life can it be awakened."
After hearing this, Martin took out several elf stone statues and tried again, but found that almost all of them were in a self-enclosed state.
