Building a skyscraper to survive, all the female colleagues in the company begged me to carry them.

Huang Tang raised his hand.

The surrounding ice and snow storm then stopped.

The demons and monsters hovering in the air were merely wandering around, no longer launching any attacks.

The roar of the demonic wind and thunder gradually subsided.

The intense magical fluctuations in the air gradually subsided.

The five legion commanders simultaneously felt a sense of lightness, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

Huang Tang turned to Lan Mutang: "These five knight orders should significantly increase your strength, right?"

Lan Mutang nodded repeatedly: "The higher the quality of the slaves, the stronger I will naturally be."

Huang Tang was somewhat surprised: "I thought they only cared about quantity and not quality."

Lan Mutang chuckled: "If I didn't care about quality, I could enslave any Tom, Dick, or Harry. I would be invincible by now."

"The higher the quality, the stronger the feedback from my talent. These people..."

Her gaze swept over the knights who were standing in formation. "They're much more useful than those ordinary residents."

Huang Tang turned to the side: "It's up to you now."

Lan Mutang walked to the front of the five knight orders.

The boots left clear footprints with each step on the snow-covered ground outside the city.

After she stopped, her gaze swept over the knights and mages on horseback and in the ranks, and she spoke confidently:

"From this day forward, your allegiance will no longer belong to any duke, any king, or any dragon!"

"You will only ever be loyal to one person, and that is me!"

She paused briefly, her gaze sweeping over the faces that were looking up. "If you understood, kneel down and show your sincerity to this Queen!"

The army was silent for a few seconds.

Tens of thousands of knights looked at each other, and no one moved.

They knew nothing about this strange woman who had suddenly appeared, so naturally not many people pledged their loyalty to her after just a few words.

But for Lan Mutang, having a few people willing to submit and become her "starting capital" is enough!

This gave her the ability to show off in front of others!

She strode forward, her feet treading on thin air, step by step ascending to a higher position. Then she lowered her head and looked down at the tens of thousands of knights and mages below, her voice reaching the ears of everyone present:

"Didn't you hear me order you to kneel?"

At the same time.

[Queen] Talent activated!

An invisible pressure instantly enveloped every knight, every mage, and every archer!

A moment later, one of the knights put down his sword and knelt on one knee.

"My Queen!"

Lan Mutang remained silent.

Her gaze lingered on the knight for only a moment before shifting away.

Immediately afterwards, a second knight began to appear.

Then came the third, the fourth...

At first, there were only a few scattered rows, then it became an array, and then it became a rapidly expanding area that was constantly extending outwards.

As more and more knights knelt down, Lan Mutang's "queenly aura" continued to intensify.

This gradually created an invisible domino effect.

Until it covers all the members of the five knightly orders!

In the end, only five legion commanders remained standing!

But at this moment, they were all intimidated by Lan Mutang's queenly majesty, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.

Their attention was entirely focused on Talia, Elodie, and Joanna, completely ignoring the woman next to Huang Tang.

But now, those kneeling knights have given a silent answer!

This is a hidden master!

And it is extremely unfathomable!

Lan Mutang gave the five a smug hum, then turned back to Huang Tang's side, "Done."

Huang Tang turned his head, glanced at the five men with the big beard, and asked, "These five don't seem to have submitted to you yet. Aren't there any potential problems?"

Lan Mutang smiled and said, "They're just five lone commanders, nothing to be afraid of."

"Besides, we haven't even entered the city yet. Once we do, we'll enslave the hundreds of thousands of civilians there. One look from me and they'll wet themselves!"

Huang Tang smiled and nodded: "As long as you know what I mean."

"In that case, let's go into town!"

…………

now.

Inside the Anderson City Lord's Mansion.

Count Holmes was reclining in a large velvet chair, holding a glass of red wine, with a jeweled ring on each of his ten fingers.

Several maids were kneeling at his feet, massaging him.

One of the maids accidentally pressed too hard and was suddenly kicked away.

"Who told you to use so much force? Guards! Drag her out and kill her!"

Two guards immediately stepped forward, grabbed the maid, and dragged her away.

The maid's screams echoed down the corridor for a few moments before abruptly ceasing.

The remaining maids knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to breathe.

They were terrified of doing something wrong and offending this tyrant again!

A terrible thought even crossed their minds...

I wish the heretics could actually break in.

In this way, they can at least be freed from having to serve this fat pig in front of them every day with fear and trepidation!

But they also knew that Count Holmes had close ties with the royal family in the capital and had secretly summoned two knightly orders last night.

Ordinary heretics can't get in at all!

Just then, it seemed as if God heard their prayers.

A guard rushed in to report:

"My lord! Something has happened!"

"Heretics...the heretics have already stormed the city!"

Holmes's eyebrows twitched slightly. "What nonsense are you spouting? The battle outside the city has probably just begun. Five heretics? How could they possibly defeat five elite knights?"

He scoffed, "I think you've gone mad too. Drag him out and chop him up."

The guard opened his mouth, but before he could explain, he was dragged out.

Holmes picked up his glass again, took a sip, and scolded:

"What are you spacing out for? Keep massaging! I think you all want to be beheaded!"

The maids' hands were trembling with fear, making it impossible for them to control their strength.

Holmes slammed down his glass and roared, "Guards! Drag them all out and chop off their hands! They're all so reckless!"

The maids were immediately terrified, their faces turning deathly pale. They quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

But to Count Holmes, the lives of these maids were utterly worthless!

They wouldn't feel even the slightest bit of pity!

Just when all the maids were in despair, a tall, handsome man walked in through the door. His smile was as bright as the sun, and his voice was as pleasant as a spring.

"Your Excellency, please calm down. Massage is something I excel at."

The man walked straight behind Earl Holmes and gestured to the kneeling maid to make room for him.

Then he forcefully pinched Earl Holmes's fat shoulder.

Earl Holmes frowned and cried out in pain:

"You're hurting me! Do you want to die?"

He turned his head sharply, only to see a stranger's face.

The man's clothing, facial features, skin color... all indicated that he was no ordinary person!

Earl Holmes' voice began to tremble:

"You...you are a heretic!"

Huang Tang's lips curved slightly: "You guessed right, I can give you a reward..."

He turned to the side, straightened his body, and said, "To die less painfully!"
