Martin was too anxious to speak to the Shadow Hunter. He stared at the messages and quickly contacted the dragon riders who were pursuing the demigods of the Northern Continent.
As soon as the communication was connected, Martin asked anxiously, "Where are you now?"
"Your Majesty, we have pursued them to the vicinity of Dragon Island. Along the way, we have continuously disrupted their spatial rifts, preventing them from using them to return directly. This time, we have successfully killed five demigods, and the remaining demigods from the Northern Continent are still being pursued by us."
Martin decisively ordered: "Stop chasing, and rush to Xingyao Shengbang immediately to stop and kill those demons!"
After saying this, he hung up the phone in a hurry and quickly contacted the lower-ranking dragon knights in Yulong City, ordering them to rush to Xingyao Holy Land as quickly as possible and kill all the demons without mercy, not letting any of them go.
After making the arrangements, Martin suddenly remembered Bethan and Eric. They went to check on the situation, but there was no reply so far.
Martin tried to contact using the communication crystal, but found that he could not get through at all.
In desperation, he cast his gaze towards the Shadow Hunter below, intending to send him out to investigate, and specifically instructed him: "Come back quickly after taking a look, and be sure to proceed with caution."
The Shadow Hunter nodded to indicate that he understood, bowed respectfully, waved his hand to create a space crack, and slipped in.
In the blink of an eye, the Shadow Hunter appeared outside the Holy Star Church.
He looked at the city in the distance that was being ravaged by demons, frowned, then hid in the shadows and sneaked towards the Holy See.
At this moment, in the center of the Holy See, a big demon was stuck in the light gate, and two middle-level gods and three dragon knights were fixed in mid-air in a strange posture.
The arrival of the Shadow Hunter instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Betan and Eric saw that it was the Shadow Hunter beside His Majesty, and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes.
The Shadow Hunter also saw Betan and the other two being suspended in the air. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Betan.
However, before the stone got within ten meters of them, it turned into powder with a "puff".
Shadow Hunters were no strangers to this situation; it was clearly the divine power of a higher-ranking individual confining a lower-ranking one.
Could this demon actually be a higher god? The Shadow Hunter looked around and found that the entire area was shrouded in this divine power, like an airtight turtle shell. For a moment, he could not find a way to break through.
He looked in the direction of Eric and the others, and finally reluctantly opened the space crack again and slipped in.
At this moment, Martin was discussing the reconstruction of Yulong City with Malcador, Yoder and Roland.
During this reconstruction, Martin plans to expand the scale of Yulong City tenfold based on the original foundation.
At the same time, compensation for the Death Knights who died in this incident must be implemented according to the highest standards, and this matter must be publicized with great fanfare.
Martin thought for a moment, then turned to Malcador and said, "I've seen the casualties. The situation is severe, especially among civilians. You must properly comfort the survivors, provide them with resettlement allowances, and give each household a rebuilt house."
Malcador nodded in understanding and replied, "Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will return shortly to sort out the relevant regulations and inform everyone. However, Your Majesty, I'm afraid this arrangement will put considerable strain on our finances."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Roland.
Martin followed Malcador's gaze and looked at Roland. Roland quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, according to your plan, the financial pressure is indeed considerable."
However, noticing Martin's unfriendly look, he immediately changed his tone: "However, if we save money in other areas, we should be able to barely make ends meet."
Upon hearing this, Macador and Yoder couldn't help but look at him with contempt, thinking to themselves: We gave you the chance to speak, but you couldn't seize it. You keep crying poor in front of us every day. Let's see if we will believe you next time.
Martin watched the small movements of the three people below him, and he knew in his heart that the recent expenses for various affairs were indeed too huge, and he also had to maintain the legions in various regions, so the financial pressure was indeed not small.
"Alright, alright, let's follow this plan this time. Roland, take this."
Martin handed Roland a high-level space ring and continued, "Here are the gold and silver coins given to me by the royal family. Take them to meet your urgent needs. Things have been busy lately, so you must remember that the knights' pensions and subsidies must be paid in full. Do you understand? If anyone dares to withhold them, they will be executed without reporting."
Roland quickly took the interspatial ring and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Anyone who dares to deduct it will be cut into pieces by me."
Martin seemed to suddenly remember something and asked with concern: "Is your family all right?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Our family is fine. Thanks to the timely warning from the Sub-Dragon Beast Corps, the people in the academy, official residences, and other public facilities in Yulong City were evacuated immediately and took shelter underground. With the Sub-Dragon Beast Corps' protection, no casualties were reported."
After hearing this, Martin nodded with satisfaction and asked them to leave.
Martin turned slightly sideways and asked behind him, "How are they doing?"
The Shadow Hunter slowly emerged and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, they are being controlled by a great demon with the power of a Greater God. However, based on the current situation, their lives are not in danger."
After hearing this, Martin thought for a moment and felt that this matter should be notified to the Continental Congress to handle it.
After all, two of his high-end fighters were being held back, and this was not a long-term solution.
Then, he quickly took out the communication crystal, contacted the special envoy of the Continental Congress, and explained the whole story in detail.
However, the envoy's reply left Martin feeling helpless. The envoy stated that currently, outside the Light Pillar Plane, there were Void creatures trying to break through the Plane Barrier and open the Plane Coordinates. If they succeeded, this Plane would be exposed.
In order to prevent this from happening, the upper gods and related strong men in the Continental Parliament all went outside the plane and tried their best to intercept those void creatures.
Therefore, given the current situation, there is really no way but to let the situation remain deadlocked.
Martin looked at the message displayed on the communication crystal in his hand, speechless. How come all the troubles came at once?
