In his heart burned the fervent fire of curiosity, and Wang Shanyue followed Ji Chen and the others into the city. Anyway, it was good to have some contact with these advanced natives.
Moreover, considering that Monica was the Grand Duke’s daughter, the jewel in the crown of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, it would be ideal if he could obtain some advantages through Ji Chen’s connections.
Hence, it was evident to everyone that a man in his thirties was accompanying them, making an effort to gain their favor and approval, occasionally chiming in with his input.
“Your Highness Monica, have you not seen that battlefield? Brother Ji Chen displayed great power, with just a wave of his hand… in the end, he buried a million enemy troops there, like a born demon-slaying deity, truly a god among men!”
Wang Shanyue, who could manage such a large guild, was quite clever, knowing that Monica was very close to Ji Chen.
So he praised wildly, vividly describing that battle as if he had been there himself. He exaggerated it to the point where Ji Chen felt a bit embarrassed.
But Monica fell for it. Her eyes sparkled like gemstones as she looked at Ji Chen with admiration.
“Lord Ji Chen, did you really single-handedly eliminate a million enemy troops?”
Feeling the adoring gaze of the girl, Ji Chen cleared his throat and said, “It’s not that exaggerated, at most a few hundred thousand.”
Monica smiled sweetly. “That’s still amazing. If it weren’t for Lord Ji Chen delaying the enemy’s Lords of Glory for so long, Feiguang City would have fallen long ago. This was the key to victory in this war.
Plus, your previous contribution in saving Feiguang City… when the war is over, I will request my father to bestow upon you a Radiant Cross Medal.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Shanyue showed a look of surprise and envy. The Radiant Cross Medal was the most prestigious honor medal in the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, and receiving it granted an honorary title that money couldn’t buy for many players.
Ji Chen smiled faintly, not caring too much.
Soon, they arrived in front of the luxurious mansion where they had previously resided, and their expressions became somewhat more serious.
Turning to Wang Shanyue, Ji Chen said, “Brother Shanyue, you should go and arrange the troops of the Shanyue Guild first.”
Wang Shanyue, who was looking around the luxurious mansion, was stunned and had an incredulous look in his eyes.
He seemed to be thinking, “You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I spoke so highly of you earlier, letting you receive the admiration of a fangirl. Now, you’re kicking me out?
Don’t you have any conscience?”
Fortunately, Monica was quite reasonable, she smiled and said, “The Shanyue Guild is one of the most powerful Glory Lord organizations in the Lienhardt Grand Duchy. We still need your help in the upcoming war. 1 will issue missions to you according to the situation.”
With that said, Wang Shanyue suddenly nodded enthusiastically, a delighted expression washing over his face.
Well, she should have said that earlier! This was exactly the promise he wanted.
Seeing Wang Shanyue happily leaving, Ji Chen led Monica to the reception hall.
“Lord Ji Chen, do you have something you want to discuss with me?”
Monica sat gracefully on the sofa, even in her hunting attire, she couldn’t hide her noble temperament. Her soft and strong face appeared exceptionally beautiful.
She truly deserved to be the daughter of the Grand Duke, a beauty and elegance that ordinary natives couldn’t compare with.
After a slight sigh of admiration in his heart, Ji Chen explained the agreement he had made earlier with Zunong and Pando.
After listening to all this, Monica’s eyes widened as if she had seen something extremely surprising, and she looked adorable in her amazement.
“You said you convinced the two Glory Lord guilds of the Kingdom of Bass to switch sides?”
Ji Chen nodded, “In simple terms, that’s the case.”
Monica’s gaze changed, and besides surprise, it was also filled with genuine admiration.
What kind of ability was this?
Even when surrounded by tens of millions of enemy troops, he could still convince the two most powerful enemy Glory Lord organizations to change sides.
“But they may not necessarily fully honor the proposal. After all, it’s only verbal, with no contractual obligations.”
But Monica shook her head, a flash of wisdom in her eyes.
“This is enough. Based on my understanding of Glory Lords, as long as we have an absolute advantage, they have no reason to die along with the decaying and dying Kingdom of Bass.
Destroying them from within is much easier than attacking from the outside. As long as they act at the crucial moment, their impact will surpass our imagination.”
Ji Chen nodded in agreement. The Wasteland Guild and Jungle Guild, two major guilds, could muster millions of troops if they went all out, even if most of them were low and mid-tier units. It would still be an extremely formidable force.
If such a force appeared in the heartland of the Kingdom of Bass, it would be like playing with fireworks in your pants – an instant explosion.
The two of them discussed for a long time, and they parted ways only after having dinner together in the evening.
Watching Monica gradually disappear at the street corner under the guard of her attendants, Ji Chen began to contemplate.
Finally, he said in a deep voice, “Bring the deceiver called Katie here.”
After a moment in the reception hall, two burly Naga Guardians brought Katie over like picking up a chick, tossing her carelessly onto the floor. Her plump bottom hit the ground hard, distorting her face with resentment.
Then, she gasped for air and struggled to get up, her face filled with anger..
