My mod ruined the otherworldly art style.

Just as he was about to explode after figuring out the other party's true intentions, Scarface pinned him down.

"Don't be impatient. You are a guardian knight, so you must remain calm and composed."

"Leave the rest of the negotiations to me."

At this moment, Scarface exuded an aura of dominance, putting pressure on the four-person group.

This is a gaze that sees through everything.

It was as if they had thoroughly examined every aspect of them, inside and out.

"Hehehe, everyone, don't be nervous."

"I wasn't targeting anyone specifically; I was just expressing my feelings."

"Regarding your proposed core ownership plan, I think we should change some details."

He sat in Cyril's seat, facing the four old foxes.

"Everyone should be well aware of the pros and cons of acquiring the core."

"So let's not get into pointless things like 'giving it to someone.'"

"Let's each contribute our efforts to find the underground palace, and then act according to our own abilities."

"If you feel you have the ability to take over the core business, then go ahead and make your move."

"If you feel you can't eat it all, then work hard to eliminate the undead and resolve the threat of natural disasters."

Scarface looked around and pointed upwards.

"Everyone is following orders; we've been given a death order. Going back empty-handed will definitely result in punishment."

"So for the sake of your own future, please stop playing these low-level tricks."

"To be honest, it's a bit shabby."

His domineering declaration silenced the others.

This alchemist is indeed extraordinary; he not only guessed their secret cooperation but also brought up the power of the kingdom.

If this cleansing of the dead is of little merit.

My lord will definitely punish me.

The representatives, caught in a dilemma, made the atmosphere increasingly awkward.

In the end, it was Morton the Rockbreaker who saved the day with a loud laugh.

"Hahaha, Mr. Leonardo da Vinci, you've misunderstood. Who among us would dare to play any tricks?"

"I just wanted to do a favor because the Golden Knight is the strongest."

"Since you don't agree with this distribution plan, then let's all work together and rely on our own abilities."

"Does everyone have any objections?"

He asked the other three people, and they all agreed.

Seeing that things were back on track, Scarface got up from his seat and whispered a few words in Cyril's ear.

"Brother, remember this: we've already done our part, eliminating over 2000 undead skeletons."

"So for the next operation, we don't need to bring out any treasures; we can just coast along."

"Otherwise, if we do all the dirty and hard work, wouldn't they have it too easy?"

Cyril, who had been in a daze the whole time, nodded subconsciously.

He really didn't expect that these guys, who seemed to be at odds, were all so cunning.

Fortunately, I brought Mr. Leonardo da Vinci with me this time.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.

The meeting inside the tent, interrupted by Scarface, resumed its discussion mode.

Blackrock Town, Oakwood Town, and Anvil Keep all contributed valuable Light Magic Crystals.

Used to consume [Water Mirror Reflection] when using [Mirror Flower Water Mirror].

As for Ironclad City, no one dared to ask them for anything anymore, and they became mere spectators throughout the entire process.

They waited for the meeting to end so they could find the location of the underground palace.

Just as things were going very well here,

In the forest surrounding the allied camp, the stealthy dwarves had spotted the patrol ahead.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they chose another direction and circled around to the cliff where the gravediggers and the Bone Lord were observing the allied forces.

This place has a unique location, offering a panoramic view of the entire area.

Moreover, since it is relatively far from the coalition forces, there is no need to worry about them coming to investigate.

It is an excellent location for stationing troops.

When the more than 400 dwarven musketeers arrived, Ironhand, the commander of the musketeers, gave an order to kill without hesitation.

"Listen up, all of you! This is an open area. No campfires or cooking are allowed here."

"Otherwise, the rising smoke will alert the humans."

"This caused our plan to seize the core to fail, understand?"

He stared at all his subordinates with his large, round eyes.

Although the rough men who only knew how to forge iron looked dissatisfied, they still nodded.

"Very good, let's set up camp first, and then follow the humans after they make a move."

"The core of the Necropolis will surely belong to us dwarves."

Iron Hand clenched his fists tightly, his expression turning somewhat ferocious.

The little, thin Gugu was terrified and instinctively clutched the oil-stained corner of its clothes.

"Gugu, come here."

After issuing the order, Iron Hand shouted, which startled the little girl so much that she shivered.

"M-Master, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Iron Hand looked at the pitiful Gu Gu with an unfriendly gaze.

He raised his rough, large hand and slapped her across the face.

There was a loud cracking sound.

Gu Gu's cheeks instantly swelled up, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph, you piece of trash, why did it take you so long to catch up?"

"Are you still clinging to the fantasy of escaping?"

Iron Hand grabbed Gu Gu by the collar, suspending her in mid-air.

"I tell you, from the moment you become a slave, you will be a slave for all eternity."

"If you can't recognize your own identity, I don't mind adding a few more layers of slave contracts to your contract."

He threw Gugu away, letting it roll around on the ground several times.

He was covered in mud and looked quite disheveled.

"Now, get out there and maintain the flintlock ammunition. If you don't finish, you won't get dinner tonight."

After giving his instructions, Iron Hand left without looking back.

The little girl, enduring the pain, was left sobbing on the spot.

"Waaaaah, why? Why was I born a slave?"

"Is being a slave a crime?"

Gu Gu was filled with resentment, and she slammed her fist into the ground.

My longing for freedom grew even stronger.

As the shadow of the dwarven army loomed over the cliffs,

The allied forces also began searching for the location of the underground palace using the treasures.

However, since they had no specific location, Eclipse Elaine had to carry the mirror and begin a thorough search.

The entire coalition was thus mobilized.

Compared to the large-scale operation here, Dorothy's side appeared very quiet and harmonious.

They hadn't gone far when they set up camp temporarily in an open space.

Anyway, with Scarface as the mole, they have complete knowledge of all human actions.

If the opposing side can find the location of the underground palace, they can intercept it.

Therefore, there is no need to rush into action; it would be better to use that time to take stock of the gains.

After this battle in the village,

Dorothy, as the Queen, received 4000 contribution points, while Scarface, by cooperating, received 1000 points.

The second-in-command gained 500 points for his strategic advice.

As for the newly joined Saintess Adriana, Lu Chen awarded her 3000 points for her outstanding performance.

Such a large contribution made Hawkeye and Blind Man extremely envious.

Because they were guarding their homes, they couldn't participate at all, so they could only watch from afar with envy.

I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to make a contribution.

Lu Chen has already made arrangements for this.

He first checked his creative power, which was originally only around 140, but has now grown wildly to 450.

This is after deducting the 8500 contribution points already distributed; otherwise, the actual benefit would be even higher.

This is clearly a big win.

It seems that to achieve high returns, one must do things within the sphere of influence of the powerful.

The higher the level of a person, the higher the quality of the emotional value they can provide, and therefore the more creative power they possess.

The widespread upgrades to both orc and human soldiers were the catalyst for this explosive growth.

Otherwise, relying solely on villagers and the dead would likely result in losses.

Lu Chen paced back and forth in the spatial crevice, deciding to make the bandit trio reach the level 9 limit as well.

Otherwise, staying in your hometown and eating dirt would be a waste of this rare opportunity to upgrade.

Just then, 10 orc veterans led the villagers to the outskirts of the mine camp.

Currently, they are in a standoff with the second-in-command.

With the addition of these fresh faces, the once quiet camp became much more lively.

It seems it's time to activate that module and make the vast distance a thing of the past.

A smile appeared on his face as he stroked an icon that resembled a portal.

He then implanted the blue-glowing module directly into his own idol.
