No matter what, Airo is his daughter.

He would definitely favor Airo.

Moreover, Airo is also the Queen of the Auston Kingdom, he doesn't believe that the King of Auston is completely unaware of what happened between his kingdom's honorary knight and Auston's Queen.

Even Jesibelle, the King of Auston, doesn't care, so why should he, the King of Yarman, bother so much?

"Ahem, I wonder if Knight Rhode has discussed the matter with Airo yet?"

Earl Yarman decisively changed the subject.

Rhode, now full of food and drink, simply raised an eyebrow when he heard Earl Yarman's question: "Discuss what?"

Earl Yarman inevitably became somewhat anxious.

"It's about the Marquisate of Chris, His Majesty Jesibeca said..."

Rhode feigned a sudden realization.

"Take me to your council hall, and have someone bring over your crown and scepter."

Earl Yarman's expression became even more bewildered, not understanding why Rhode would mention these things, but since he was the one seeking Rhode's help, and seeing that Rhode seemed to offer a chance, he didn't think much and did as Rhode said.

The two quickly arrived at the council hall and sat face to face across the table.

"Abdicate, the territory of the Yarman Kingdom will henceforth be managed by the Red Empire of Doragon."

As soon as he sat down, Rhode ruthlessly dropped this sentence on Earl Yarman across from him.

Earl Yarman hadn't even settled into his chair when he abruptly stood up: "Knight Rhode, what do you mean by this?!"

He knew Rhode was very powerful, but asking for an entire kingdom with a single sentence was a bit much.

If Rhode only intended to take some territory, even if he took a lot, Earl Yarman believed he could grit his teeth and cede some land to Rhode.

At least, if exchanging some territory could appease and keep a dragon-slaying hero in the Yarman Kingdom, it would be a worthwhile deal.

But if Rhode wanted the entire Yarman Kingdom, what would he be as the King of Yarman?

"Moreover, I haven't heard of any Doragon Kingdom?"

The Earl Yarman across from him was almost holding his breath, forcing himself not to lose his temper, but Rhode's expression was much calmer and more composed.

He amusedly curled the corners of his lips and retorted: "Could it be that when Jesibeca told you that you could seek me to resolve the Chris Marquisate issue, she didn't tell you that the Manston Kingdom and the Frank Kingdom have already merged?"

"You should now address me as His Majesty, the King of the Doragon Kingdom."

Earl Yarman shuddered and looked at Rhode in disbelief.

How long had it been? Rhode had transformed from an honorary knight of Manston to the king of two countries?!

In his interactions with Jesibelle, he clearly felt that Jesibelle was a rather assertive king.

Even towards him, someone of equal status and older age, Jesibelle had never shown any politeness, let alone respect.

Yet now, she was willing to give up the Manston Kingdom and even work for Rhode!

"But, but..."

Earl Yarman stammered, still wanting to struggle: "For Airo's sake, Knight Rhode, isn't this inappropriate?"

Rhode leaned back slightly, resting on the chair, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Earl Yarman, do you think that if it weren't for Airo's sake, I would even give you the chance to speak properly?"

Of course, besides Airo's sake, the main reason was that Earl Yarman was indeed easy to control.

What could be easier to manipulate than someone who was arrogant and conceited, yet foolish and timid?

However, Rhode's strength far surpassed his own, and right here, Rhode could end him.

Moreover, although he didn't know how powerful the so-called Red Empire of Doragon was, the combined strength of the Manston Kingdom and the Frank Kingdom was definitely something the Yarman Kingdom couldn't handle.

What's more, there was Rhode, the dragon-slaying hero, as their backing!

Recalling the day the Chris Marquisate attacked, the sky-covering dragon was easily pierced with a bloody hole by Rhode—

That was a dragon!

Under Rhode's hands, it didn't last long before being completely beheaded by Rhode.

Before this, Earl Yarman indeed had thoughts of belittling Rhode, but since witnessing Rhode slay the dragon with his own eyes, Earl Yarman was left with only fear and awe for Rhode.

"You, you can't..." Earl Yarman still wanted to struggle.

But Rhode had little patience.

If the person in front of him was some enchanting beauty, it would be one thing, but Earl Yarman was just a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard, and Rhode wouldn't waste time on him.

"I can. Don't try to provoke me, understand?"

Hearing Rhode's casual words.

Earl Yarman immediately became mute, not daring to resist any further, and obediently handed over the power in his hands.

No matter what, at least he could save his life, right?

Taking over the Yarman Kingdom was as simple as Rhode had imagined.

After a brief handover of power, Rhode directly began to sweep through the surrounding territories and nobles with thunderous force.

Those who were unwilling to resist were fine, and things would become extremely simple, only requiring Rhode to send people to take over the territory.

But not every noble in every territory was so honest. At such times, Rhode would often choose to place one or two soldiers in the other party's territory, directly using the excuse of soldiers going missing in the other party's territory to deploy troops deeper into the territory.

If the other party refused, then they were intentionally concealing deserters or had killed his soldiers.

Regardless of which it was, Rhode's dispatch of troops was justified.

Although the trick was used frequently, it was still effective. Even if the nobles of the surrounding territories knew this, they could do nothing about Rhode.

Because the soldiers under Rhode were truly loyal and crazy.

Before they were found, that was still an excuse for Rhode to act up.

When they found the people and planned to send them back to the Kingdom of Yelman, these guys would inexplicably commit suicide!

Even with knightly spirit, there has never been such a bizarre thing!

Now, in less than three days, the territory of the Kingdom of Yelman has expanded by a whole circle, and the surrounding people are panicking.

Although it sounds simple, in reality, achieving such a goal is extremely difficult.

The tricks that Rhode used are completely open schemes, clearly intended to encroach on the territories of all parties. Without sufficient strength, the rest of the people would not be manipulated by this little scheme, and might even unite to counterattack Rhode.

It is estimated that only Rhode, with such strong strength, can really do this.

Even if the other party sees through the open scheme, they do not have enough strength to resist Rhode.

"Father, the Evil Spirit Legion has expanded threefold."

The Death Apostle stood behind Rhode with a bloodthirsty smile, surveying the territory below the city walls.

If they were to face other dark creature legions now, with the number and strength of the Evil Spirit Legion, the situation during the battle with the Marquisate of Chris should not occur again.

"Well, leave the lords below to you."

Rhode looked down indifferently.

Every day, there would always be one or two lords who were blind and insisted on arguing with him.

Rhode had no time to argue with people.

At this time, he would usually hand it over to the Death Apostle.

This can both solve those nagging lords and strengthen the Evil Spirit Legion. Either way, it is a win-win situation.

Of course, this good thing is only for Rhode.

For the lords and nobles around the Kingdom of Yelman, Rhode's existence is simply like an ancient evil god. He doesn't even need to do it himself. Just one look at them is enough to make them collapse and scream.

Monster, an absolutely terrifying creature crawling out of the abyss!

If he were a normal person, it would be impossible for Rhode to have such terrifying strength. Rhode personally beheaded the evil dragon in front of countless people!

The collapse of the surrounding lords is not within Rhode's consideration.

He must now devour the surrounding territories. As for what the lords and nobles think, who cares?

"Father, please rest assured, they will soon become members of the Evil Spirit Legion."

The Death Apostle bowed respectfully to Rhode, instantly recalled the Evil Spirit Legion, and attacked the lords of the territory below.

Soon, there were screams and pleas for mercy from below. Most of the people inside chose to surrender to Rhode, and this territory was directly incorporated into the Kingdom of Yelman.

Rhode did not speak.

Swish!

Huge wings unfolded from behind Rhode, stirring up a hurricane.

His figure disappeared from the spot extremely quickly, leaving only a silver-white meteor trail in the sky, and quickly appeared in front of another territory.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Rhode wouldn't mind spending some time playing with these lords.

Like a cat catching a mouse, he also likes to release it and then catch it again, which can be regarded as a kind of teasing fun.

Unfortunately, there is not enough time right now.

Rhode slowly stared at the new territory, and threw the Death Apostle, who was full of bloody smell, out again.

The Death Apostle's bones were churning with brutal excitement.

This time, being able to end so many people is also a kind of release for the Death Apostle.

The more he kills, the more beneficial it is to the Death Apostle's strength. Next, he will have to fight against the Marquisate of Chris, so Rhode will naturally not be stingy in letting the Death Apostle take action.

"...Sir Rhode... no, Your Majesty Rhode, aren't you being too hasty?"

Earl Yelman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and struggled to hold on to the ladder. He had a hard time confirming that Rhode would stop here, and chased up:

"Recently, the people of the Kingdom of Yelman seem to be a little panicked..."

Suddenly, the king was changed, suddenly they started fighting, and suddenly the territory expanded. It almost took less than two or three days. How could the people of the Kingdom of Yelman not panic?

Although Earl Yelman is not considered a good king, the worries of his people inevitably affect his emotions.

He has now given up the position of king. If Rhode doesn't play well and collapses the Kingdom of Yelman, then he will probably lose his good days.

So Yelman took the name of the people and ran over to test Rhode's intentions.

"Don't worry, it won't always be like this."

Rhode shook his head when he heard this. He could see what Earl Yelman was worried about, so he explained it casually, which can be regarded as reassuring Yelman and the ministers in the country.

Rhode was not a person eager for quick success, but now, the Red Empire has been noticed by others.

I am afraid that as long as people with some sensitivity will understand that the rise of the Red Empire of Doragon is an inevitable result.

Such a behemoth that suddenly appeared will naturally be feared by the two empires in the north and south.

The reason why the people of the North and South empires have not yet taken action.

First, it is because the current power of the Doragon Kingdom has not really shaken the North and South empires.

Secondly, it is because the Doragon Kingdom has risen too fast and the time is too hasty. Even if they want to test the depth of the Doragon Kingdom or restrict the development of the Doragon Kingdom, they need a period of discussion to figure out a decent countermeasure.

Therefore, the present time is the only period when Rhode and the Red Empire can grow wildly.

Once the two empires react, even Rhode will not be able to continue expanding so easily.

As for the territories that have been seized, Rhode is not worried.

He is one of the best alchemists on this continent, and his enchantment skills are not comparable to ordinary people. As long as his enchantment covers the empire, it is difficult for outsiders to attack.

In addition to the alchemical puppets refined by Rhode.

At that time, Rhode is fully confident that he can hold on to the territory he has seized.

It's just that expansion has become not so easy.

Rhode will not give up this good period of barbaric development, so he would rather give up attacking the Marquisate of Chris and clean up the surrounding territories first.
