Happy people from Blue Star

Hardy did not use his own army or the elven army to deal with the monsters in Amaken.

Instead, they used the mission system to summon a large number of player dragon knights to participate in the battle.

Because when the players signed the Dragon Knight Contract, it was clearly stated in the treaty that Hardy had the right to summon them to form an army to fight.

And...dragon riders have to bring their own dry food.

It sounds unfair, right? But in reality, all the dragon knights feel that they have won.

One million players, three hundred dragon knights!

Dragon Knight is currently recognized as the strongest profession, bar none.

It has high mobility, high survivability, and top-notch ranged and melee combat abilities. It has both good numbers and mechanisms, and is simply a small BOSS.

However, Dragon Knight also has a drawback. It doesn’t matter if the player dies, but if the dragon dies... it cannot be resurrected.

It's just that it's very difficult to kill a dragon.

The players are not stupid. They would rather die and lose experience than see anything happen to their dragon mounts.

In contrast, there is nothing wrong with obeying Hardy's occasional call to join the battle and bringing your own dry food.

What you can earn by becoming a dragon knight is far more than what you pay.

What's more, the task given by Hardy this time is equipped with a "task" system, which can gain a lot of experience.

Although there is no profit, overall, as long as there are experience points, it is a profit for the players.

Although the country of Amaken is much larger than France and has more terrifying monsters, the three hundred dragon knights attacked at the same time, and they were natural battle maniacs like the players. In less than a month, most of the monsters in the country were wiped out, leaving only a small number of remaining monsters fleeing.

And it was in this situation that Hardy rode on Karijena and Petra and came to New York City in Amacken.

He was received by King Ariane Rommel.

"It's been more than ten years since we last met, Mr. Hadi."

Ariana smiled. He looked almost the same as when Hardy met him ten years ago, with almost no change.

But no change is the biggest change.

Because Arianna had also eaten a petal of the World Tree, so after ten years, he had actually aged.

"Indeed." Hardy smiled: "I am very pleased to see that you are still in good health."

"Not as good as Mr. Hadi." Arianna looked at Hadi with great envy in her eyes: "You look the same as you did ten years ago, both young and handsome."

Ten years have passed, and Hardy's appearance should have become more mature.

But he still looks like a sixteen-year-old boy for two reasons. First, he is very strong and his puberty has been greatly extended. Second, he has also eaten several petals of the World Tree and has a direct and in-depth relationship with the World Tree. His appearance can be said to be frozen at this moment.

If there is no special reason, it will hardly change.

After all, the World Tree is a god, and her virginity has some special effects.

Hardy just smiled at the compliment.

"Your Majesty Rommel, let's talk about the handover of Vastvak County."

That’s why Hardy came to New York City.

"Your Excellency is still as straightforward as ever." The old king smiled and said slowly, "The matter of Vastvak is easy to deal with. We will withdraw the troops there as soon as possible, but the people there also need to be evacuated. Please be patient and wait for a while."

Hadi's expression changed slightly, and then he asked, "How long will it take?"

"It could be as long as a year or as short as half a year."

Hadi nodded: "No problem, I understand your difficulties."

The old king looked at him in surprise. "I didn't expect you to agree so easily. I thought it would take some time to convince you." "I'm not that unreasonable." Hardy stood up. "Half a year is fine, or a year is fine... Anyway, with the contract in hand, Vastvak is ours. After that, neither of us owes anything to each other."

The old king looked a little strange when he heard this, and then said, "Sir Hadi, why do you have to say it so decisively? We are friends, there is no such thing as owing each other anything."

"Then I'll be leaving first. See you in a year."

Hardy no longer wanted to communicate with the other party. He came here with good intentions, but the other party wanted to fool him, so naturally he was too lazy to continue the conversation.

"Wait." The old king Arianna suddenly stretched out his hand: "My Yamato son Kamas, he has something very important to discuss with your Excellency."

"Huh?" Hardy turned around.

"He is in the manor in the north of the city." Arianna's eyes were filled with regret, and he whispered, "He has a certain relationship with the stonemason."

Hardy left the secret room and rode towards the north of the city.

Karijena and Petra rode side by side.

Petra said with some emotion: "After being the king for more than ten years, that kid has become arrogant... He actually wants to use you as a pawn."

Hadi nodded and smiled, "It's a common problem for big men. When they sit on the throne for too long, everyone looks like a chess piece to them."

"You too?" asked Karijenna.

Hadi nodded: "I have used many people as pawns, including you."

Karijenna smiled helplessly.

On Dragon Island, Hardy really just treated her as a pawn.

Of course now...her status in Hardy's heart has improved a lot.

Soon the three of them arrived at the north of the city. Along the way, many people noticed them, and there were even several followers following them, but Hardy and the other two didn't care much.

After all, the three of them are foreigners, and it is normal for their movements here to be monitored.

As long as the other party doesn't jump out to cause trouble, Hardy doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

In front of us is the manor of the eldest prince Kamaz Rommel, who is already standing at the door waiting.

"You are finally here, Mr. Hardy."

Kamas hugged Hardy, and then tried to hug Petra.

This was etiquette here, but Petra took two steps back.

Kamas did not feel embarrassed. He apologized with a smile: "I almost forgot that France's customs are a little different from ours. Please come in!"

When he arrived at the main hall, Hardy found that the dining table was already set with wine and delicious food.

Kamas waved his hand to dismiss the servants around him, then sat in the main seat and asked the three people to sit down before saying, "Sir Hadi, I heard that you and the stonemason are having some problems?"

"Indeed."

"That's right, us too!" Kamas laughed.

"I remember that you seemed to be peripheral members of the Masons' Guild." Hardy smiled.

When Hardy was clearing out the members of the Stonemasons Guild in France, he got the list and saw that Rommel's family were on the peripheral list.

"That was before we became royals," Kamas said seriously. "Now we are royals, you know what I mean."

Hardy nodded, of course he understood.

When the chess piece becomes a chess player, it is natural that it no longer wants to be manipulated by the chess player. (End of this chapter)
