MC's career as foreign lord

"What about the security on the territory side?" Zhou Ren asked, this was the task he had given to Jim and Mossa.

"You don't have to worry about that. Actually, there are no inhabitants there. I left some skeletons there to keep watch, and once there is news, there will naturally be a prompt!" Mossa replied.

"That's good!" Zhou Ren nodded, and the two had already walked to the front of the house.

"You should study the general usage first!" Zhou Ren threw the "Synthesis Guide" to Mossa, tidied up, and went straight to bed.

In the deep night, the only sounds in the territory were the bleating of sheep and cattle and the wind. Zhou Ren fell into a dream in an instant, leaving Mossa silently facing the "Refreshing" effect.

The "Refreshing" effect constantly reminded him that he couldn't sleep, so naturally he couldn't go to bed.

Mossa naturally had many things he hadn't said, not because he didn't want to, but because Zhou Ren lay down too quickly, and he didn't have time to speak.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed!" he exclaimed, "Even Lord Iegos has stepped down from the position of God of Death, what else can I ask for?"

"This is a good place to retire, Master, or perhaps I can call you—Your Highness!" He looked at Zhou Ren, then strode out of the house.

He wanted to confirm his guess and also familiarize himself with the things here. If he wasn't familiar with the things here, he would be too derelict in his duty.

As for the other side, near the windbreak wall, things didn't seem so peaceful. On the open ground in front of the gate, the wind was still blowing unusually violently, causing some physically weak mercenaries to shiver behind the wall.

"Damn it! Why is the wind so strong tonight!" A team of mercenaries lamented in a corner of Zhou Ren's territory, "It's much stronger than the strongest wind last year!"

"It's not just that, we've earned much more this year than last year!" another person said, "I dream of marrying one of the aunts from Val City. This time, the money will be enough!"

"Isn't that right? Those goblins and hobgoblins have all gone to attack the town, so we can just sneak into their homes!" a thief in the team said, "I just don't know if those pits we dug are still there?"

(PS: In fact, goblins and hobgoblins are a type of creature in D&D, both are goblins, but mercenaries use words to distinguish between goblins and hobgoblins. Roughly speaking, hobgoblins are called goblins)

"If they're not there, we'll just keep digging! Dig during the day and rob at night! Those monsters have really collected a lot of good things. I don't know how many of our human merchants have been robbed!" Their captain was a rare archer, and at this time, he also seemed very relieved.

"The captain's parents were robbed by these monsters in the wilderness!" The mercenaries whispered, not wanting to provoke the unhappy captain, "Hey, but we're rich today!"

However, in their happiness, they didn't expect that a team of short figures had quietly sneaked over, and a huge phantom also appeared not far from them!

The mercenaries naturally didn't know. They all felt that they had acquired some wealth, and since the monsters were attacking the city on this windy night, where would they have time to sneak around?

It was this habit that doomed them. When a group of goblins touched their heads, these mercenaries weren't even prepared!

"Ah! Damn it, there are gnolls!" The huge and burly figure also revealed its true colors. The gnoll, holding a large club made of human bones, instantly became the greatest fear in everyone's eyes.

However, they didn't have time to escape. Some grinning little goblins appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

The transparent wall that had just blocked the north wind for them had now become their death warrant!

Zooming out, this was not a special scene, but a situation that was happening everywhere! Except for the mercenaries hiding behind the stone wall who escaped unharmed, other mercenaries in the wild were almost simultaneously visited by monsters!

Either kobolds, or hyenamen, or goblins or gnolls, these monsters in the wilderness, after a few days of depression, finally revealed their fangs!

"Ah!" Screams rose and fell, not only from the mercenaries but also from the monsters.

Although their sneak attack was indeed unexpected, the mercenaries were not made of mud. During the day, the monsters defended against them sleeping. At night, they took advantage of the monsters' attack to sneak out. How could they not be prepared?

So, except for some careless teams that suffered a bit, most of the teams quickly organized a counterattack. Soon, with the blowing of the strong wind, a large amount of bloody smell spread out!

Locke's face was still pale, but he was very majestic. He walked out of the temporary tent behind the wall and looked around, "What's going on? I smell blood and screams!"

A row of soldiers retreated from the wall. A sentinel-like figure came over and explained to Locke, "Lord Town Mayor, it's an unexpected situation. The monsters didn't continue to attack but launched a retaliation against the mercenaries!"

"Retaliation against the mercenaries..." Locke quickly reacted, "Are you talking about those mercenaries who are scavenging outside? What are these monsters thinking?"

His main concern was this. The risk caused by this invasion was too great. It had wiped out almost half of his combat power on the first day, leaving the entire town without a suitable front line.

And Father Havali was not young anymore. His lifespan of thousands of years meant that most of the time, he couldn't act as a front-line character. What if the monsters attacked the city again next time? He couldn't ask Princess Shia again, could he?

This was proof of poor governance! Aid from Val City had also arrived. If he couldn't prove his ability again, he would probably be replaced at the next meeting!

This was not what Locke wanted to see, so he ate a green fruit, and the paleness on his face quickly faded, "Go and invite Father Havali and Chairman Brown. Is Her Highness Shia here?"

The secretary shook his head, "Lord Town Mayor, if we ask Her Royal Highness at this time, we will be severely impeached the next time we go to Val City!"

"Alas!" Locke sighed, "Forget it, prepare to meet those mercenaries. They will definitely gather here, but since the monsters are determined to come over, they definitely have more than just this one trick!"

He had guarded this town for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a huge monster wave. Silvermoon City had no news recently, and the area around Val City was wilderness. Apart from making great efforts to recruit mercenaries, there were not many people who could be sent out.

So Locke was so worried. Tonight, these monsters were even coordinating their attacks so well. He definitely didn't believe that no one was coordinating and controlling them from behind.

The two-headed giant almost took this place down in one wave before, and then a huge black monster came. If there were any more problems in the future, then it was not certain that someone would continue to turn the tide!

Locke pondered for a moment, "If anything goes wrong, be sure to notify Lord Zhou Ren and the two princes as soon as possible. This place… cannot be lost!"

With that, he walked out. Now he had to prepare for war, or the consequences would be dire if the monsters really broke through!

On the other side, the giant bear hobgoblin had already torn apart the mercenaries' last resistance. Its fan-like palm slapped off the mercenary's head, and it roared triumphantly!

Around him, a group of goblins, as if emboldened by his presence, also raised their weapons and roared, then smashed the human corpses in their hands against the transparent wall!

Just then, the bear hobgoblin narrowed his eyes. He saw the figure of a gray-robed man, behind that impassable wall, slowly walking towards them.

"The territory of the elves! It's been a long time!" the gray-robed man sighed. "But even this current empress probably wouldn't acknowledge a lich, would she?"

Liches are almost always Lawful Neutral or Lawful Evil, and the elves' position as living beings determines that they will not acknowledge a dead person, so Mosa was not discouraged at all.

But this guy in front of him is a bit noisy! Thinking this, he held out a hand, "You can fight, but it's not right to be so loud!"

A huge force seemed to manifest from the void, pressing down on the bear hobgoblin as if with a hand. Its original arrogance seemed to vanish completely.

And those swaggering goblins also slowly retreated at this time. They were not good at anything else, but they were good at observing people's expressions and running away when they couldn't win!

Seeing that the bear hobgoblin was failing, they would not have the idea of saving their boss, but quickly slipped away, leaving the bear hobgoblin roaring and wailing.

Mosa shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, the bear hobgoblin fell silent. This little fight wasn't even a simple warm-up for him, even though his magic had only recovered a little.

However, the magical aura of Zhou Ren's territory was too strong, so strong that every time he meditated, he would be suffocated by the abundant elemental aura. It was also because of this that Mosa, after walking around, had recovered a little bit of strength.

He continued to walk forward. It seemed very lively outside tonight. The sound of the wind blowing weapons rang out. He didn't know why His Highness could sleep so comfortably. Maybe this is what it means to be calm in the face of adversity!

The screams of those mercenaries were endless, making Mosa feel a little upset for a while.

He just couldn't stand the endless infighting and bloody killings in the Underdark, so he came to the surface. Although people's attitudes towards undead creatures were not good, it was surprisingly peaceful!

But his current master is Zhou Ren, and one of the undead's rules is not to do anything without permission. He came out only to wander around and could not do anything else.

Now he needs to make himself a staff, and also try the special abilities that Zhou Ren inscribed on his soul.

Those are thirty-six special cells, and a special power that seems to be obtainable within the scope allowed by the rules. The biggest shock, of course, was the book Zhou Ren gave him, "Synthesis Guide."

In Zhou Ren's eyes, this was just a memory supplement manual, but in Mosa's eyes, this was clearly a special book explaining the rules. If he had obtained this power before, he would have taken it over as a spellbook long ago.

But even now, he seems to understand a little of the special principles of heaven and earth, and can't help but think, in this place full of magic, could there be something that he can use as a staff material?

Walking and walking, he came to a box next to him. This was the pond behind the house, and the box should contain fishing gear.

Mosa tried it, and he could indeed open the box very easily, and the moment he opened it, he knew he couldn't go back!

There were many fish in the box, some strange objects, and many items full of magic. Among them, a few books were very conspicuous, the most conspicuous of which was called "Flame Infusion."

Mosa opened the book and found that it was full of flame inscriptions and some flame-like symbols, but even the flame power on it could be used as a flame magic book.

He saw another book, "Frost Walker."

If Flame Infusion is the venting of fire power, then Frost Walker is the splashing of water power. The frost inscriptions on it seem to be engraved with the power of the Frost Sub-plane, endless ice!

What kind of magic wand does he still need now? With these two books plus the "Synthesis Guide", he feels that he can now beat three of himself in his prime, "His Highness is really a kind and benevolent person! If I had this power, I would definitely not be content to stay here."

Thinking this, Mosa prepared to try the power of these two books, but of course, he couldn't try it in Zhou Ren's territory, so why not go outside and try it!

"Lord Mayor!" The secretary hurriedly went to help Locke up. He spat out blood and fell to the ground, his face as pale as gold paper!

Opposite him, a huge gnoll was roaring, "What human professionals, just trash!"

On the other side, the giant goblin leader was frantically bombarding Father Hawari's body. His seemingly incomparably hard shell was also in danger under the flickering of the holy shield.

And Brown was there dragging two high-level jackalwere warriors, his face pale. He was fine, but his spell slots were about to run out!

Locke looked at the large gnoll who was being held back by the soldiers and roared, "Quickly call the two princes, it's too late!"

He looked at the secretary, "Eden, quickly go find Lord Zhou Ren! Only if they come here will we have a chance to win!"

"Can't get through! No reply!" Eden said anxiously. Now it was all over. None of the reinforcements they could invite had arrived!

He had no choice but to rush to the entrance of Zhou Ren's territory and shout loudly, "Lord Zhou Ren, please save the mayor!"

Then he saw a gray robe walking from a distance, unhurriedly, unhurriedly, making him feel anxious.

"Are you Lord Zhou Ren?" he asked quickly, "Please save us!"

Mosa shook his head, "My master is resting, nothing can disturb him. I can help him with anything!

"You are his servant, right?" Eden said, "The monsters are attacking the city in large numbers, we need Lord Zhou Ren's help, otherwise we won't be able to hold this place!"

"I can do it!" Mosa's voice was hoarse, "This is not a problem, let's go!"

Eden looked helpless. What to do if he couldn't invite this person? Oh well, hopefully, he will change his mind when he sees the scene and then go back and invite his master!

That's all he could think. What can a servant do?
