A hero is a hero, and sometimes it's destiny - said Anduril the Elder.

  After the second defense of Feilongcui, this perfect victory with the imprint of Bimeng's style spread almost like the wind within the kingdom of Bimeng.

  After deliberately letting Luo Hui return to the southeastern province to visit his relatives, Liu Zhen sent Wei Er back to his hometown - the southern cross forest of the Bei'er tribe, crazily spreading the crazy news of opening up the Haigal Holy Mountain Road. Old Liu provided a large amount of gold coins for Wei Heizi, letting him recruit some idle people on the way and do his best to spread it widely.

  Apart from the adult warriors, other hippopotamus poets who made a living by reciting poems once again took up their lutes and headed west along the Sanggan River, composing and singing poems about King Li's fame in worshiping Heaven, only this time, these hippopotamus poets were no longer the image of performing artists who had fallen on hard times, and their bulging wallets, just like their strong chests, were enough for them to make a living by reciting poems as a hobby rather than a way to make a living.

  Counting the Wolf Riders who had already returned, the Templar Knights and the various High Priests, Liu Zhen had almost simultaneously possessed four propaganda teams in different directions - this was also the secret trick passed down by Anduril the Elder.

  "How did heroes emerge? First by boasting, second by boasting, and third still by boasting! Now it's your turn to let loose and boast! This is what they mean by 'a thousand pounds of Boleyn makes a million pounds of b'. Elder Anduril gave an example. In human history, even the most powerful hero couldn't have killed as many enemies with ten fire-system magic spells like "Sea of Fire" at the same time, right? So why did he become famous instead of the mages? That's because he commanded this battle and led those mages!"

  If it were only relying on the wolf cavalry and the temple's propaganda, it would be impossible to cause a large-scale public opinion in several provinces of Bimeng at the same time. Therefore, the elder insisted on sending out the hippopotamus poet - the energy of the hippopotamus tribe's traveling poets is simply immeasurable. Although the orthodox Bimeng nobles are unlikely to let traveling poets participate in their luxurious banquets and afternoon teas, among the common people, the short songs of the hippopotamus poets are the best topics and tonics for their dull lives.

  Elder Anduril worried that if they didn't do this, the achievement would be attributed to some big shot in the temple and used for propaganda, so later on when the legend of the hero who bathed in blood to kill the enemy was passed down, it wouldn't be King Richard's name that was sung, but someone else's, because of his farsightedness and command like a cloud... At that time, launching propaganda would be completely passive.

  The elder's words, although somewhat suspicious of being petty-minded, also make sense. If he doesn't quickly gain a huge reputation among the people, it will become increasingly difficult to converse with Lord Murni in the procession of worship. Even if there is no conclusive evidence to suspect the Swan Master now, Liu Zhen must take precautions just in case.

  The power of propaganda is terrifying, any intelligent race has a tradition of worshipping heroes and respecting heroes, even in the most deceitful human countries, let alone for Bai Meng.

  The altar sacrifice in the eyes of the beastman, although high in status, is always slightly different from a true hero. The sacrifice is only an embodiment of wisdom, but not the kind of warrior who laughs at the sunset in the rain of blood. The beastman has only respect for the sacrifice, but it's hard to say that they worship - the requirements to become a sacrifice are too high, and the wise mind is often what most beastmen lack. Becoming a brave warrior, on the other hand, is not an unattainable goal for most beastmen.

  The advent of Richard the King filled this blank completely and thoroughly, an idol who is both invincible in bravery and possesses wisdom, almost becoming the object of worship for all.

  Less than ten days after the propaganda team set out, batches of young warriors from Bamont with a pilgrim-like mentality came to Florence to catch a glimpse of their idols. Most of them were nobles from southeastern province Wesserthorn and other small cities in northeastern provinces. Due to the existence of the firstborn inheritance law, they could not own titles but lived quite comfortably. Having received knight education since childhood, they yearned for heroes and becoming heroes.

  They felt a deep sense of pride and happiness for their arrival, as they received a warm welcome from the idol in their hearts. The embroidery on the star cloak and the medals dispelled any remaining doubts, and at close range, they witnessed the followers of the Heavenly King, known as "invincible after a hundred battles". After that, they observed the remains of the war-crazed warriors who were annihilated, including halved battle-axes and bear skins. They visited the equipment left behind by the heavily armed giant scythe-wielders, and stroked the silver-plated armor base of the Holy Francis Empire. All this was enough to make these young warriors from Bimon feel their blood boiling with excitement.

  The might of the Faerie Knights was so great that even these young Beamon warriors felt embarrassed to ask Lord Richard for their escort, for they thought it would be an insult to the Heavenly King's sacrifice.

  This experience, enough to be remembered for a lifetime and proud of it, accompanied by these young warriors who just came out of their shells, once again spread further away, defeated the dragon knights, fought fiercely, shot seven arrows to save the insect tribe, one after another heroic story, attracted more curious and admiring eyes, among which there is also an undeniable factor - many young Bi-Mon Knights came for the stunningly beautiful Butterfly Tribe beauties.

  If it weren't for the likes of O'Neil and his rhino poets, Liu Zhen would have been driven mad by the endless questions about his battle experiences. But to be honest, at this moment, Liu Zhen couldn't help but feel a little proud, being surrounded by those admiring eyes was indeed a most delightful thing, and he could finally understand why Mr. Mourinho was so fond of it.

  The patriarch of the Withered Castle, Bellon, and some lower-ranking nobles of the Piggu tribe also came to Falande in person. The fact that the Piggu tribe could give birth to such a great and proud hero is an honor for the entire Piggu tribe. In fact, Patriarch Bellon had planned to come early, Lichard is one of the few priests born in the history of the Piggu tribe, and the patriarch was originally planning to come next spring. Now that this big news has appeared, it caught the patriarch off guard, and he hurried over to get close to this pride of 800,000 Piggus. Other lower-ranking nobles of the Piggu tribe came to Falande, mostly because they had a few young women in their family who were not yet married, but this idea was dismissed before it was even mentioned, as the Butterfly Girls made them want to dig a hole in the ground.

  The noble coat of arms of Feilongcui was formally incorporated into the homepage pedigree of the Pige family from then on.

  As a reward for the pride of the Miao people, the chief of the Baiyue tribe decided that after the end of next year's rainy season, 2,000 Miao herding families would be selected to move into Feilongcui and settle down, opening up the wasteland pasture here.

  Helen's uncle, Viscount Simarc, apparently also received the news quickly. Although he was busy with the affairs of Borg Village Prison and did not come to congratulate in person, he sent the prison guard captain York Xia to bring many gifts to Helen and Liu Zhensheng. These gifts made Liu Zhensheng feel like they were dowry when he looked at them left and right.

  In the face of so many dazzling halos, Viscount Simark naturally did not want to insist on the regulation that intermarriage with other tribes was against tribal rules. In fact, due to the beauty of the fox girl, it is not uncommon for women from declining Foxes noble families to become concubines of other Bamun nobles. If Richard's merits were so great, even Wither Spoon, the Governor-General of Rosenborg, might not be unwilling to have a son-in-law who was known as the Heavenly King's sacrifice.

  The prohibition on intermarriage with other tribes by the Fox tribe may not be as strict as that of the Swan tribe.

  A messenger from Lord Rosenborg, the Governor of Northeastern Province, arrived soon after to offer congratulations. This time, accompanying the messenger were two Fox men and a family of seven from the Bimon tribe. The two Fox men were accountants sent by Lord Rosenborg as a gift to Lord Feilong, each one an expert in managing accounts. They came from a renowned Fox family known for their astuteness and held the title of Baron, which was equal in rank to that of Lord Feilong, but this did not prevent them from becoming accountants for the Heavenly King's sacrificial rites. As for the Bimon family, they were from the Goose-headed people of the Bimon tribe, a branch of the Bodu tribe. Originally weak and sparse in population, after one of their kind, a prostitute named Chikai from the Chicken-headed people, brought great shame to them, they were immediately expelled by Lord Tian'e.

  However, the origin of this cool and elegant penguin family is not simple. They are penguins! As the rarest branch of the Coolster tribe, penguins have been the chief ceremonial officers of the Mongol royal family since ancient times. Their tailcoats and gentlemanly demeanor can fully express all things related to nobility and elegance. The descendants educated by them, every boy is a gentleman, and every girl is a lady. Only with a penguin butler can the Mongolian nobles truly become members of high society.

  Mr. Rosenborg sent two accountants and a butler, with the intention of pleasing obvious.

  As a return gift, Liu Zhen let the messenger bring back a suit of magic-resistant armor to Wither Spoon, one of the few intact armors taken from the personal guards of the Dragon Whirlwind Mercenary Group. Originally, it only had a simple earth-based magical reinforcement, but Yolna added a simple fire-based repair spell array on top of it, and after Master Autega infused some fire-based magic power into it, this armor transformed into a dual-magic protective armor. Apart from its surface gleaming with red light, which was quite visually appealing, the practical use of this magic-resistant armor was actually limited.

  As soon as this gift was brought out, even the two newly arrived Fox accountants felt it was too luxurious and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

  The messenger felt an overwhelming sense of pride, for the magic-resistant armor was something that even the Temple Knights did not possess. A good suit of fine steel armor was already considered top-notch equipment in the Kingdom of Balm. The messenger was almost certain that once he brought this magic-resistant armor back to Wistern, Lord Rosenberg would throw a feast lasting several days to show it off, and then treasure it as a family heirloom, storing it away in his treasury.

  The heartache of the two Fox accountants did not last long, and soon they were brought into the spoils of war in Florence to perform their duties as accountants - Liu Zhen was just getting a headache from these trivial annoyances, and the arrival of the two clever accountants was truly timely.

  The piled-up weapons and armor almost made the two Fox Tribe masters faint with excitement, as there was enough equipment here to arm ten legions, and they were all elite troops armed to the teeth.

  Statistics, classification, pricing, these things are extremely headache for Liu Zhen, but in the hands of the two Foxes masters, they are done quickly and efficiently. Except for making the slave warriors and vassal tribes do some hard work, the two masters did not disturb Lord Liu's fingers at all. After one day and one night, all the weapons and armor were sorted out according to category, neatly arranged on bamboo racks. The original three warehouses of weapons were categorized and sorted, and after being classified by quality and grade, they were all stored in two warehouses, with seals affixed.

  Not only that, but the remaining furs, grains, and treasures brought back from the sea, including pearls and agate, were all sorted and accounted for by the two Foxes' stewards. The two stewards felt deeply regretful about Lord's decision to hand over the weapons and equipment of the 3,000 human mercenaries in the first defense battle to the beautiful snake instructor, only getting some grains in return. If they had been in charge, they could have exchanged those weapons for enough grain to feed Feilongcui for ten years, not just two or three months!

  At the same time, both masters also raised objections to the lord's way of taking care of all vassal tribes. They believed that this way of managing food and drink was not suitable for properly governing vassal tribes.

  The revolution is not a dinner party, so Liu immediately adopted this suggestion. The lord thought more comprehensively, now that the major event has been settled, and added two thousand worm clans, it's really unnecessary to drag their families along like before, and squeeze together with the vassal tribes again. Although there are many caves in Red Earth City, they can't be arranged for every couple, which is too inhumane - Lord himself was poisoned by coagulase giant toxin, but he was almost driven mad, especially since this had nothing to do with his own abilities.

  These good news made Old Liu happy, but there was also bad news. After the Fox's accountant calculated it, the night pearls and agate brought back from the sea were not worth much money because the night pearls were not round in shape. As for those huge agates as big as fists, they were even more miserable, directly unsellable, even human merchants couldn't afford the price, unless they were sold cheaply or crushed into small pieces to sell.

  Liu Zhen was shocked by this news and almost bit his teeth to pieces. The Hai tribe is not ordinary cunning.

  After the adjustment, a large number of craftsmen were employed in Florence to build houses along the Sanggan River, and wooden houses were built one after another. Liu Zhen originally wanted to burn bricks to build houses, but later thought that it was too much trouble to make bricks, so he gave up this idea. A Foxes teacher also brought his followers and slave warriors, carrying the flag of Florence, with a large amount of agate, proudly went to Wisteria Pond, buying a large number of Sa beasts, fat sheep and dairy cows.

  After the arrival of Butler Peng, Liu Zhen's days of wandering around with his shirt off were over. Mr. Jabbar, the butler, was a meticulous old man who quickly got into his role as the face of Feilongcui. His responsibilities did not allow him to watch a noble lord run around in his underwear, and as for Lord Liu's habit of smoking cigars and drinking, Mr. Jabbar not only didn't stop him but thought it was a very elegant gesture, very gentlemanly.

  As for the others in Feilongcui, Butler Penguin thought their etiquette was already in place. The militiamen were warriors and had the right to show off their bravery. As for the madams and elders, they were impeccable and classic, like a textbook. Only the lord's habit of exposing his knees made it difficult for him to bear.

  Liu Zhen actually started to change this habit, after all, every day there are some hot-blooded young warriors coming here to worship their idols in their hearts, and it's not good for the image of the master. Under the guidance of Penguin Butler, our Lord has become more and more elegant, even learning a few simple social dances while wearing a tailcoat, which made Penguin Butler praise that the Lord has the talent of a gentleman - except for the fact that the Lord wears four rings on his five fingers, which makes Penguin Butler a bit unhappy.

  The only thing that annoys the penguin butler the most is that dirty parrot. This little thing is a disaster, flying around all day with its mouth running wild. Butler Javar taught it many phrases for a long time, but in the end, it still repeats "One pushes buttocks, one opens zipper" back and forth.

  The batch of human prisoners being held in Sydney also started doing hard labor such as logging and burning charcoal. Yolna found time to make a batch of exquisite jewelry, this time the raw materials were very abundant, and there were many treasures in Aria's original jewelry box alone.

  Nana helped Liu Zhen re-create a brand new three-series magic golden necklace, the style is still the same as before, but the craftsmanship is much more exquisite. The main lord's sunglasses were also re-forged, with new lenses cut into shape, looking very cool - of course, Nana didn't forget to forge a pair of sunglasses for the beauties of Feicui to use as decorations.

  Moyu also had a beautifully crafted crystal necklace with the Hydra Snake Pearl inlaid on it.

  Whale Warrior Fico also had a necklace with an Earth Dragon Pearl inlaid, but this necklace was silver. Liu Zhen couldn't bear to use gold to make a necklace for this thick-necked giant. Apart from the necklace, Benny Road Warrior finally got a steel armor that he had always dreamed of. This full-steel armor took Yanko and twelve Minotaur craftsmen a whole week to cast - the armor pieces were not difficult, but the craftsmanship was time-consuming.

  Because the four iron golems had a certain amount of pure gold attached to them, Yorna extracted this gold and forged three magic arrays for Fico's helmet: a water-based array, a wind-based array, and a fire-based repair array. These three arrays would normally be impossible to forge on ordinary armor, but Fico's helmet was spacious enough that forging two more magic arrays wouldn't be a problem. This time, the fire-based repair array mixed in a large amount of feathers that had been shot out by Huohe, which had very agile fire elements. Once the armor is damaged, the array can slowly repair it at a certain speed. The water-based array allows Fico to not have to return to the water for several hours, and the wind-based array reduces the weight of this giant suit of armor by half - even so, its weight still reaches an astonishing 600 pounds or more.

  The fairy dragon itself does not possess magical powers, so the task of replenishing the magic array fell to the three newcomers. The Siren and the Naga captive, like Master Autga and Apprentice Mesi, who had no hope of returning home and were in a precarious situation, pragmatically turned to surrender to the Double Dragon Cult. Although they didn't have much dignity, they also added some magical powers to Liu Zhenyue's side. However, the poisonous oath they swore to be loyal was not necessarily valuable in Liu Zhenyue's eyes.

  Fei Gao's weapons were a giant anchor and a long-handled sword, the anchor was modified to have ten blades, resembling a three-pronged trident with a pearl-like shape, weighing two thousand pounds, the sword had a door-like face, weighing four hundred pounds, not even a few scrap iron golems could withstand this weight, on the giant anchor, there were also two magic arrays, one for fire and one for wind, used to increase damage and reduce half of the weight, Old Liu had engraved a sacrificial war song array on it, tried once, but nothing happened, which made Lord Liu very disappointed.

  As for those white silver base war armors, about twenty of them were severely damaged and could not be repaired. Yelena simply made use of the waste materials to forge a white silver prosthetic arm that was almost indistinguishable from the real thing for Lord Liu. At least it would take half a year for his new arm to grow back, and in the short term, having an empty sleeve was too unsightly. Although it wasn't as good as the mechanical arms made by the ancient dwarven masters, having one more fist was still pretty good, and Liu Zhen was quite satisfied with it.

  Although Kotani didn't leave Florence, it's clear that she has become much more restrained. Ever since her father came, she seems to have changed completely, becoming even more silent. Even the Dark Elf Queen's crown that Kachusha secretly gave her was taken out and returned to Liu Zhensheng.

  What is the role of the Fairy Dragon, this underground seven-degree golden crown? Nana and Daisy saw at a glance that it was in the style of Dark Elves, because on it was engraved the magic array pattern of Spider Queen Rose. This magic array is used to assist incantations and summon dark creatures from the ground. Only the Dark Elf Queen can wear it. The promiscuity of the Dark Elf Queen is probably known even by fools. After this secret was revealed, facing the questioning of the two Fairy Dragons, Lord Landlord had to use a lot of effort to cover it up.

  Qī dù jīn shì zhì zuò kōng jiān fǎ qì de jué hǎo cái liào, bǐ mēng de měi dú shā huī zhāng hé mǐ shā huī zhāng dài yǒu dōng mián jiè jiè, dào bù shì yīn wèi bǐ mēng yǒu duàn zhuó kōng jiān fǎ qì de néng lì, wán quán shì yīn wèi hóng yī dà jì sī yǒu yī shǒu "chén shuì zhōng de nà tā shā — dōng mián jiè jiè zhī gē" kě yǐ zài huī zhāng shàng jiā xí chū yī gè dōng mián jiè kōng jiān.

  Seven-degree gold is the most excellent and rarest among all metals that can absorb spatial power, and only seventy ounces of it mixed with metal utensils can possess the storage capacity of seven-dimensional space.

  Moyu was fortunate to have a Li De badge that had been abolished 2,500 years ago. Li De was the name of the war god's favorite demonic pig pet. This badge used to be an exclusive symbol of the Munk tribe's magicians many years ago. However, in order to cover people's ears and eyes, this Li De badge was finally designed into a cute Qiuqiu image.

  The crown of the Dark Elf Queen was not small, and apart from a few high-ranking officials, all the heavy cavalry units and Newton's aerial knights were also fortunate enough to get a share. Each person had a carnelian gold ring that could be loaded into their own mount, but there was no space magic to infuse the space magic power to activate the magic array, so the Li De badge and these space rings were all in a semi-finished state and could not be used.

  Three busy months have passed, and it's already been two months since the rainy season started. Those legendary Medusas still haven't arrived from the southwestern province, and there are only a little over two months left until the Olympic Sacrifice Festival. Liu Zhen couldn't wait any longer for these guys, so he packed his bags, leaving behind more than half of the militia and Elder Anduril to guard the house. He was preparing to set off for the Kingdom of Dolotte. Apart from wanting to find a priest to try and purify the poison, revive Eve, and rescue Di Boming from underground, Liu Zhen also planned to have a good talk with the Sharba family. Additionally, he would go find that spatial magic user, Fran, and ask him to infuse some spatial magic into these rings.

  Before he could even move, a delegation of 500 people from the Duchy of Dolotte's Sharuba family arrived in Florence, and Master Fran also appeared as a magical guard. Master Fran was also unlucky, actually he was already afraid to come to this place, but the Sharuba family had only three magicians left, who else could they send if not him?

  The envoy team stationed five miles away, and Fran, the great master, came alone to Fulin with a hard scalp to find the lord for a secret talk.

  That night, Swan ultimately didn't lie, he indeed reached an agreement with the Sharuba family on the condition of marriage, and the object was indeed the Lord of Florence. This special envoy team was sent to marry Dolores' fourth princess, and this matter was done very secretly by the Sharuba family, so it wasn't publicized, anyway, it was just a fake princess.

  If he becomes a relative by marriage, Liu Zhen will have to stay at home and avoid suspicion in the future. Of course, Liu Zhen would not do such a thing.

  Without another word, Liu Zhen took Fran Master to infuse magic into the badge and ring. He put his own sacrificial robe on Witch Doctor Nochadamus, anyway, they were of the same size. The special envoy team had not seen Liu Zhen a second time, so Old Liu ordered Witch Doctor Nochadamus to refuse this request when meeting with the representative of the special envoy team. The tone should be a bit arrogant but also polite, then tell the human envoy to take the road to the temple in Withered Spore City and find Great Shaman Qidan.

  Clothes make the man, and with the substitute Lord's perfect completion of this task, Nuo Chada Nuoma Si's performance as a witch doctor was impeccable. With the support of the militia captains, he was majestic and awe-inspiring, his killing aura soaring, leaving the human envoys stunned.

  The human messenger barely made it through this meeting, and as he was leaving, he happened to run into Liu Zhen and Master Fran, who had just finished their business and were walking shoulder to shoulder down the stairs.

  "How's that? Dear Gul'dan, isn't it more heroic than the Lord of Azuremyst Isle in the Kingdom of Stormwind?" Master Fran joked with a sly smile in front of Liu Zhen.

  "Truly formidable, indeed worthy of being the one who defeated our Dolotte Dragonwind Mercenary Corps. Honorable Fran-sama, didn't you see? The warriors beside that lord are too strong! God above! When can we humans become so strong?" The leader of the messenger group sighed to Fran-sama.

  Liu Zhen was quite amused by what he heard, and in order not to delay the important matter of this matchmaking team, he hastily bid farewell to Master Fran with courtesy.

  Politics is so ridiculous, former sworn enemies who were fighting to the death are now bowing and smiling at each other. Liu Zhen also has his own affairs to attend to, he quickly prepares to leave and pack his bags, it's time for him to do what he needs to do.

  It was Master Fran who couldn't calm down for a long time, because after the true Lord of Florence turned and left, Gurdan, the leader of the messenger team, quietly asked him: "Who is this Pigg again?"

  "He? A small fry, a mere chili pepper." Master Fran was well aware of the intentions behind Marquis Capero's dispatching of this Lord Gourdan to the Kingdom of Bimon. This Lord Gourdan was one of the few shallow and sycophantic nobles who were loyal only to the Charba family, and even in the aristocratic social circle of Dolotte, he was notorious for being a dimwit. There couldn't be anyone more suitable than him to handle such a humiliating task. Teasing this lord was a most entertaining pastime in the upper echelons of Dolotte society.

  "That Pigg Lord was indeed powerful, but I think the true hero is that little Pigg soldier who just sent you tumbling down from the stairs." Lord Gourdan sniffled his frozen red nose and said to the master in a rather abrupt manner.

  "Oh? How did you figure it out?" Master Fran was taken aback, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

  "A heroic aura... " Viscount Gordan smashed his mouth for half a day before saying: "That Pig soldier, although he just smiled, I don't know why, but I always feel that this smile carries a kind of majestic and domineering air, as if looking down on the masses from above. This majestic air, I didn't feel it from that Feilongtu lord, his image is indeed overbearing and powerful, but he doesn't give me the same feeling of reverence that Pig soldier gave me when I saw him for the first time... "

  "...This little soldier will definitely become a hero in the future, I'm sure of it." Lord Gourdan muttered to himself as he walked back.

  "This guy isn't stupid......" Master Fran's mouth was pursed like a basin, muttering to himself.
