Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 309 Send them to see Tiger

After this resource integration, the number of expedition team members increased from 30 to 70. Among these 40 people, at least they were five-star knights, and there were 3 knights who had just been promoted to six stars. The overall strength had made a qualitative leap.

Combined with the crystals accumulated by Austin, the volume of the gift crystal expanded again and was already as big as a pigeon egg.

In addition, there were 4 more carriages, 2 precious white bear mounts, and various precious food and medicinal materials. It was a great harvest.

Hewen Field held the gift crystal, smiling broadly.

"Lolita, I finally understand why women like diamonds so much, just like how I see the Gift Crystal now."

"You should thank Lord Li En. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to hold on until now."

Lolita said.

"Yes, you are absolutely right. All this is thanks to my brother."

Hewen Field smiled and put the Gift Crystal away, dedicating himself to keeping it well.

Perhaps because Li En personally dealt with Auston Moriah and completely cut off the possibility of becoming the King of the North, Hewen Field felt more at ease with Li En.

The Moria family does not allow its members to kill each other. Even if they compete, they must ensure the other party's life. Anyone who is stained with the blood of the clan members is not qualified to inherit the position of the head of the family.

This is a rule set by the King of the North himself. It's impossible for it to be changed just because of Li En, right?
Thinking of this, Hewen Field came to Li En's side.
"How about having a party? Everyone's been on edge for so long, it's time to relax."

"Although the number of staff has increased, the resources required daily will also increase. Now is not the time to indulge."

Hewen Field lowered his head regretfully, thinking that the banquet proposal was completely ruined, but he saw Li En's mouth corners slightly raised.

"But appropriate entertainment is OK."

Li En agreed to hold the banquet because the danger of the crack was far beyond imagination. In this situation, people needed appropriate entertainment to relieve stress.

Secondly, with the sudden addition of 40 adventurers, it is indeed necessary to increase everyone's cohesion through a banquet, and at the same time, tell them the rules of the adventure team.

So, after being limited to only one-third of the bear meat in stock, everyone in the gathering place began to sing and dance to enjoy the rare banquet.

Although low temperature is conducive to the preservation of meat, and it can be kept for another month, with the supplies from the Austin Adventure Group, even if the bear meat is eaten in one meal, there will be no shortage of food in the future.

In particular, Austin also saved a box of wine, which was probably looted from other teams. If he continued to carry it on the road, it would easily be damaged during the bumpy ride, so it would be better to drink it directly to save trouble.

The ladies were responsible for distributing drinks to everyone, while the men started cooking bear meat in a big pot.

Everyone was getting along happily until Miss Jenny was being harassed by a six-star knight.

"Why are you pretending? Didn't you follow Liszt before, and now you follow Master Li En? Master Li En already has Sophie and Miss Nancy by his side, so I think he doesn't need you. Why don't you sleep with me for one night?"

After drinking some wine, the six-star knight became a little too proud of himself.

But he also expressed what many male adventurers were thinking.

Only after they arrived at the crack did they realize that the danger here was far beyond their imagination. Whether they could get out alive was one thing, but in this situation, the moral bottom line would be infinitely lowered.

With this six-star knight taking the lead, other knights also made moves on Lister's ex-wives.

Knights are still of a lower class than true nobles.

They also want to play with the women that the noble lords have played with.

Although Lister's wives were not weak women who could not even tie a chicken, they were still unable to resist the powerful six-star knights and five-star knights.

Except for the Flame Knight Linsiya, the other six were forced to drink.

The drunk Hewen Field was only concerned with being affectionate with the maid Lolita, and was completely unaware of the abnormality of other people.

Even if he saw it, he would choose to turn a blind eye. After all, they were not his sweetheart. He wanted these strong men who once obeyed Uncle Austin to obey him. Maybe with this relationship, they would be more loyal.

Li En, who was originally practicing Gobang with the leader of the Fierce Dragon Adventure Group, put down the obsidian chess piece and placed the wine glass heavily on the chessboard.

With a bang, the rough music of the banquet came to an abrupt end. The adventurers stopped their noise and their eyes all fell on Li En.

Even Hewen Field became a little more sober and let go of Lolita's not-so-slim waist.

"That's enough. If you don't want to drink, then don't drink at all. This is not the way to waste alcohol."

Li En stood up.

Sophie, Nancy, Noah and Inna, who were still teasing the glowing beast, stopped what they were doing and looked at Li En.

The glowing beast, who had been pretending to be aloof, suddenly realized that he had fallen out of favor. He stretched out his furry claws and tugged at Sophie's clothes for attention.

"Xavier Hayes, take your hands off Ms. Jenny."

"Hosea Morik, Kenan Hodgson, release Lady Celie."

"Trenton Rosen, Draco Haywood, let go of your hands."

"And Red Diaz, Leo Thomasson, Orlando Anderson, Luo Jefferson, if you think you will die tomorrow or will not survive tonight, then you can do whatever you want now. After you do what you want to do, leave here immediately. My expedition team does not welcome desperadoes. If you still want to stay in the team, you must respect everyone in the team."

Li En's eyes swept over these knights with evil intentions.

They all withdrew their hands and let go of the women in their arms.

Jenny, Xili and others immediately got up in a panic and trotted to Li En's side, as if they had found an umbrella of protection.

"Lord Li En, we were just joking."

"Yeah, I just drank a little too much. It was just a joke."

"Yeah, we were just kidding with the ladies."

Several knights said with a smile.

Six-star Knight Xavier Hayes frowned. Even when Austin was alive, he was very respectful to them and never interfered with them doing such things.

They had just killed one together not long ago, but so what?
He is a six-star knight and the leader of the Silver Frost Knights, and he also has privileges in the North.

The strong always have privileges in this world.

He really couldn't understand why Li En would cause trouble for their Knights Order over such a small matter.

"Lord Li En, the Hayes family has always been a vassal of the Moriah family. We have been loyal to the Moriah family for three generations. After His Majesty Alex, the Lord of the North, became king, he personally bestowed my father with the Medal and the Sword of Loyalty. This banquet must be held to welcome our integration. In this case, why do you want to spoil everyone's fun because of such a small matter?" Xavier Hayes slowly put down the wooden wine glass in his hand.

His words were immediately echoed by others.

"Lord Li En, we just want to have some fun. There's no need to be so serious, right?"

Hosea Morik took a sip of wine, wiped the foam from his mouth, and said with a smile.

"Since it's a party, it would be nice if everyone is happy."

Kenan Hodgson picked up the broth and took a sip, his eyes falling on the red-haired female knight Linseya.

"Yeah, it's just a small matter. There's no need to be so angry. We are all retainers of the Moria family."

Luo Ao Jefferson took a piece of bear meat from the man with an unhappy look on his face and chewed it carefully.

Seeing the knights' attitude, Jenny and others became more nervous.

They were worried that Li En would compromise with the knights because of family relationships or the current situation.

In terms of combat effectiveness, they are clearly at a disadvantage compared to these newly joined knights, and might even drag the team down in future explorations.

Moreover, they did not have a deep relationship with Li En. They had only met a few times. They were not like Lindsay, who was personally awarded the title of knight by Li En.

"Lord Hevenfield, what do you think?"

Seeing that Li En didn't speak, the six-star knight Xavier Hayes turned his head to look at Heven Field.
"Don't we deserve a little pleasure as a reward for our loyalty?"

Hewen Field was speechless for a moment, feeling that everything he said was wrong.

If he agreed with Xavier Hayes's point of view, it would be equivalent to agreeing with the knights' practice of forcibly occupying Lister's ex-wives. If he opposed Xavier Hayes's point of view, it seemed to violate the Moria family's principle of generosity to retainers, and it would not be conducive to team unity.

Xavier Hayes undoubtedly said this on purpose, which was a typical substitution of concepts. If Lee En did not agree with his approach, or did not reward his loyalty, the knights would not be willing to continue following Lee En.

How could Li En, who often used pua to help others in his early years, not understand what he meant?

He had already anticipated this situation.

So he did not interact with any woman at the party, not even Sophie and Nancy, and he did not show any excessive ambiguity. Instead, he kept playing chess with the people of the Fierce Dragon Knights.

If he were to be like Heven Field and flirt with the maid, then nothing he said now would stand the test of time.

You are enjoying it yourself, why not let your brothers enjoy it?

But Li En did not do so in order to maintain certain bottom lines, which would make future management easier.

If I just sit back and do nothing, I'd be no different from people like Mary and Augustus.

"I drank a little too much and I feel dizzy."

Hewen Field instinctively chose not to answer, leaned on Lolita, and pretended to fall asleep.

Xavier Hayes shrugged and said nonchalantly,

"Then we can only ask Lord Li En."

Looking at the expectant and nervous eyes of the crowd, Li En took out the jeweled dagger given by Uncle Yabo from the buckle on his leather belt.

"This dagger was a gift from Uncle Yabo, but in the rift, it can't even be exchanged for a piece of meat."

Li En threw the dagger to Xavier Hayes and said, "If you want a reward, I can give it to you, but it will be meaningless to you. What you want is not my reward, but my indulgence."

Xavier Hayes caught the flying dagger. The dagger was indeed priceless, but it was only of ornamental value. In the crack, it was not even as practical as a long sword.

"You think that because you're a six-star knight, you should enjoy special privileges within the team. Besides Field and me, everyone else should obey you unconditionally. Today it's Jenny, and tomorrow you can change to someone else. Do you think I'll indulge you because you're strong, and the strong should have special privileges? Because I need your strength, or your strength, to protect the entire team and keep everyone alive."

Li En's eyes swept over the knights and adventurers again.

"You know this is a rift, not the Holy Empire or the North. Even the nobles, high and mighty, must be restrained by powerful knights. Without unity, there's a high probability we won't escape alive. You want me to turn a blind eye, to sacrifice my bottom line, to bow my head for the benefit of the majority."

The knights showed expressions of surprise and doubt. It was obvious that Li En had seen through the thoughts of most people.

"But you're wrong. I'm Lee En Moriah, the son of Jack Moriah. I have a deep relationship with the Moriah family and we're connected by blood, but I'm not bound by their rules. I won't sacrifice my bottom line for the benefit of the majority. I won't beg you to stay in my team. I won't go against my principles for a bunch of scum. You want rewards, indulgence, and privileges. Sorry, I don't have them. In my team, there are no two voices allowed. Either obey or get out!"

Li En's words undoubtedly brought the atmosphere of the banquet to a freezing point.

But he won the support of his old subordinates, the Fiery Dragon Adventure Group, the Black Rose Adventure Group and the Single Bug Adventure Group.

Lister's ex-wives naturally also stood on Li En's side.

On the surface, he portrayed himself as a tyrant who would not listen to any opinions, but in fact he was protecting them.

"Lord Li En Moriah, it's just a woman. Do you need to make such a fuss?"

Six-star knight Xavier Hayes thought that Li En would compromise with him, but he didn't expect Li En to say such words, which made him very angry.

"Xavier Hayes, you have strayed from the ways of chivalry. You are not worthy of being a knight."

The red-haired Lindsay said.

"It's not your turn as a woman to teach me a lesson."

Xavier Hayes said coldly,

"Lord Li En Moria, if you don't mind, I will take my brothers and the woman I like and leave now to serve other Lord Moria. I believe there will always be someone who remembers the glory of the Hayes family."

After hearing what Xavier Hayes, the leader of the Knights Templar, said, the knights were also tempted.

They are strong and will not be treated unfairly no matter which team they join.

Seeing that the knights were about to leave, Hewen Field, who was pretending to be asleep, became anxious.

He opened his eyes and stopped talking.
"Li En, we can't let them go."

"Indeed it is."

Li En nodded slightly, "Then send them to see Tiger."
