Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

"Pastor Lin, how about we prepare some first? We can solve the problem of the Gold Collar first, and then think of other solutions."

He frowned slightly. Although the Golden Territory was a remote area, it still had a considerable population. The amount of Spirit Grass needed to deal with this infected population was a significant problem.

“I know that Spirit Grass is a problem, but because this place is close to the Elf race, there is still a considerable amount of Spirit Grass in stock. I will go to the acting officer now and ask him to open the treasury and take out all the Spirit Grass.”

"You don't need to come looking for me, I'm already here."

Before he arrived, his voice preceded his arrival. Pasco, with a smile, pushed open the door and entered. "I was just looking for you to inquire about the progress, but I didn't expect to hear this good news so soon."

"You can use any of the medicinal herbs in the government treasury, as well as those in the warehouses of private merchants. As long as we can resolve this wretched plague as soon as possible, we can discuss anything."

"But, wouldn't this cause..."

"Will it have any impact? No, those merchants hate this plague now. If they knew there was a solution, they would definitely give it their full support."

With a wave of his hand, Pascoe had temporarily resolved the problem, and all that remained was to focus on preparing the medicine.

Of course, this was also a very laborious task. With the help of many merchants and commoners, Lin Xueyin and Karnaja brought all kinds of herbs back to the restaurant, sorted them out, and began to prepare them.

"Xiaoxue, don't overwork yourself."

Aria looked at the busy girl and felt a little sorry for her, so she wiped her sweat. Around them, bottles of prepared medicine were being carried out one after another.

The supplies were loaded into transport vehicles and headed towards other county towns. Fully armed soldiers, with proud smiles on their faces, rushed forward.

"Aria, I'm fine, don't worry. Time is of the essence. We need to prepare the potion as soon as possible and then look for other alternatives."

"But you're getting very tired, Xueyin. Take my advice and don't push yourself anymore. Get some rest."

After a slight pause, Lin Xueyin forced a smile, her face showing undisguised exhaustion. "Ailiya, it's not that I don't want to rest, but I'm very uneasy right now. This is a man-made plague, and the other party's purpose is unclear. I can't rest easy."

There was one more thing she didn't say: she was worried. She was worried that among those infected with the plague was Nana, the woman she longed for. What if Nana was also affected, and she wasn't by her side? What would she do then? Especially since she had heard that the plague could cause the infected to mutate and become zombies. She didn't want to one day be fighting Nana.

Could this be a demonic conspiracy? The previous conflicts with the Rat Clan and Nightmare Clan were both directly orchestrated by the demons. Honestly, that damned Demon King, why is he so persistent? Why can't we all just have some fun together? Why are you always causing trouble? Why don't you just stay put?

"Yukine..."

"Okay, okay, Arya, stop trying to persuade me. I'm really anxious right now. Saving lives is like putting out a fire. If this isn't resolved soon, it will become a hidden danger. Once it erupts, it could be a national crisis. You're a knight, are you just going to stand by and watch those people suffer?"

If persuasion doesn't work, then use a more effective approach: since you're not a knight, then let's persuade you by talking about the weak.

Remaining silent, Aria was caught in a dilemma, torn between her friend and her chivalrous virtues. The conflict between the two made it difficult for her to make a decision.

"Alright, I'll take good care of myself, you don't need to worry. But instead of spending so much time helping me, you should hurry up and get these potions to Goldshire with some people. I think they need you, knight, more there."

Pushing several bottles of prepared potions in front of Ailiya, Lin Xueyin, though exhausted, still wore a proud smile and winked at her.

"Now that this is all over, you have to sleep with me. It's a promise, you'll be my pillow this time, and I'll sleep while hugging you."

A comforting smile curved her lovely red lips. "Okay, but don't you dare crawl into my arms like a little kitten and end up being the one holding you."

"Ha, no, no, you're talking nonsense. Get out of here, get out of here..."

Lin Xueyin, her face flushed, stammered as she pushed Ailiya out the door, then opened the door again to put several bottles of potions into her arms before slamming the door shut once more, eliciting a burst of cheerful laughter from Ailiya.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Get back to work!"

Seeing Karnaga staring at her blankly, Lin Xueyin waved her arm at him angrily, "Time is life, get to work, get to work."

"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away."

Karnaja shook her head with a wry smile. She hadn't expected that Pastor Lin, who was usually so serious and responsible, would have such a cute side. But that made sense. She was just a young girl; why did she always act so reserved?

The medicine continued to be delivered bottle after bottle, and time flowed by relentlessly and mercilessly. Encouraging news kept coming back: the dangers in various parts of the Gold Territory had been alleviated with the help of these medicines, and even the tampered grain in the granaries had been found and burned to ashes.

When Aria finally reported back on the situation in Gold Rush, Lin Xueyin fell straight backward. In her last moments before losing consciousness, she heard the news that the entire territory had been out of danger. If she could tell this news to the King in the capital, she could obtain more manpower and resources for research.

Volume VI The Rebellion of Pankor: Chapter Fifteen The Triumphant Lockdak

Having successfully defeated several territories, Lockdark was overjoyed and once again accepted the surrender of the Morol Territory's acting governor. Including this territory, he had now occupied all the plague-ravaged territories except for the Gold Territory.

The final target has been determined: Goldshire. Lockdak sat on the lord's throne as the acting magistrate of Morol, looking down at the many generals below, his face no longer able to contain his smug smile.

"Haha, gentlemen, we have successfully conquered Morol Territory. All that's left for us is the small border territory of Shining Gold Territory. How about it? Do you want to continue building our empire with me?"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

"Hahaha, do you have any beautiful women here? I want to have a good time here all night."

Seeing their prince rekindle his playful nature, all the generals withdrew, exchanged smiles, and began searching for their prey for the night. The night was long, but it brought even more indelible wounds to this sorrowful place.

When he launched another attack, Lockdak was still full of ambition. He was completely unprepared for the problems he would face in the future. In his mind, the Gold Territory was already laid out on the chopping block, waiting for him to cut it down at any time.

As they entered the Goldfield territory, the army found the land deserted and desolate. The border cities were completely uninhabited, and even the grain had been taken away, leaving not a single grain behind.

"Haha, look, this is how they were scared and had to run away after they found out we were coming."

Along the way, whether in villages or towns, there were no supplies at all. They couldn't take anything with them except for the river, and even the wild grass growing in the fields was set on fire.

However, the more this was the case, the more Lockdark believed that the enemy had developed a fear of him and was no longer capable of putting up an effective resistance. He thought that once his army arrived, the enemy would have no choice but to surrender.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has arrived in person. Would you like to meet him first?"

"Ah, Father, no, the King's special envoy has arrived. Stop right there, I'll go with you to greet him."

"No, Your Highness, I'm already here. Time waits for no one, so I'll get straight to the point."

Before Lockdak could finish speaking, a black steed carrying a man dressed as an envoy galloped towards them from afar.

"Your Highness, the Sima Empire has already sent troops to the territory of Mofar, where they are facing off against Sharkoria. His Majesty hopes that you can resolve the matter of the Gold Territory as soon as possible and return to the territory of Sharkoria."

"What? The Empire really dares to send troops? Aren't they afraid of being killed by the plague?"

For a moment he seemed somewhat lost, but then he thought of the plague in the surrounding area, which quickly calmed Lockdak down. As long as the plague did not end, the Empire would not dare to enter the territory of Sharkorlinia at will. At this time, his side had firmly grasped the initiative in the war, and could attack or defend as needed.

"Special Envoy, has Marshal Anles not gone to war?"

Marshal Anles is the commander-in-chief of the entire army in Panko and Lofiers' most trusted confidant. He was a general whom Lofiers miraculously selected from a slave and then promoted to the commander-in-chief of the entire army. It is said that his tactical skills are comparable to those of the famous generals of the empire.

"When I left, His Majesty did not give any orders, but only said that he hoped you could return as soon as possible."

After a moment's thought, Lockdak realized that this was not the time for a decisive battle. Both sides were merely in a stalemate. As long as the plague did not disappear, the Imperial Army would not come out. This was the perfect opportunity to rack up battle achievements and military merits, so naturally, he would prioritize sending himself into battle.

"I understand. Tell Father that the Golden Territory is already trembling under my sword's shadow, and they will soon receive my report of victory."

"Haha, then I'm relieved. I'll be waiting for your good news on my way back."

As they spoke, the envoy had already ridden away. Lockdak watched the other's departing figure, a satisfied smile curving his lips. Finally, he too would become a prince of an empire and establish unparalleled achievements.

"Fellow soldiers, the commander of Goldshire ahead is hiding in his bed, trembling with fear. To prevent him from dying of fright, let's quicken our pace. We must reach the city walls of Goldshire tomorrow."

A single sentence spurred the soldiers to advance with all their might, while the ashes and scorched earth along the way silently watched these advancing warriors.

In the Demon King's Castle, the Demon King sat elegantly in his seat, a faint smile on his face. "The human race has begun a civil war, hasn't it?"

"Yes, the Panco army has now occupied the territory we promised to help them with. However, it seems that there is some trouble on the Gold Territory side."

"Hmm? What happened?... You can speak freely, I won't hold a grudge against you."

"It's like this, Your Majesty. The cursed plague we created was eradicated by an Imperial Baron, and she also developed a potion that eliminated the cursed plague in the Goldshire. Therefore, the Panko army is likely to face some trouble in the Goldshire."

"Oh? Who is the one who cured this cursed plague?"

He frowned slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the chair, seemingly quite interested in this person.

"It's that human baron I told you about before, named, named Lin Xueyin..."

He cautiously observed the demon king before him, but found no change in her expression.

"Your Majesty, I request permission to send someone to teach her a lesson. My informant says she doesn't show you much respect."

"Ha. She disrespected me? Then tell me, what did she say?"

Suddenly intrigued, I sat up straight, eagerly awaiting the other person's reply.

"I...I dare not say..."

"It's alright, I pardon you, please speak freely."

"It's like this, that baron actually said that if the Demon King is a man, then he should be castrated directly; if she is a woman, then it depends on her looks. If she's not pretty, then her cultivation will be crippled; if she's pretty, then... then..."

"So what?" Seemingly too concerned about what followed, the demon king involuntarily leaned forward slightly.

"Then, I'll just lock you in her little dark room, hehehe..."

"Oh? Is that so? Did you hear that? Someone's trying to lock me in a dark room. Are you guys going to make one?" His eyes narrowed dangerously, as if the little girl had been having too much of a comfortable time lately.

“You can continue on your way. The problems of the Goldshire are none of your concern. If the lord of Panko cannot even handle a mere Goldshire, then what is the point of cooperating with us?”

"yes..."

As the man stepped out of the gate again, he realized his back was soaked with cold sweat. He turned around and let out a long sigh.

"A little dark room, huh? That's a good place. Should we put some fun things in there? Xiaoxue, you'll like it, right? Hahaha, hahahahaha."

Volume VI The Rebellion of Pankor: Chapter Sixteen Scorched Earth

After the plague in the Gold Territory was resolved, the entire territory's acting governor was very excited and sent a guard to bring Lin Xueyin and Karnaga to the capital city, hoping to meet these two meritorious officials. Of course, he also hoped to get a share of the credit for this achievement.

Upon arriving in this magnificent city, Lin Xueyin, led by her guards, quickly reached the lord's mansion, where she could see a group of brightly dressed people already waiting.

"Ah, Baron Lin, you've kept us waiting."

"Ah, I was delayed a little on the way." Lin Xueyin was too embarrassed to say that she had gone to a small stall that was already open for business and bought some snacks because she was greedy.

It has to be said that the people of Tianluo Continent are really bold. One second they were in the midst of the plague, and the next second the problem was solved, they were already daring to set up stalls and do business.

Arya was really holding it in, but she still came up to her and wiped away the faint trace of sauce from the corner of her lips without leaving a trace.

Sensing Ailiya's helplessness towards her, Lin Xueyin could only offer an awkward smile, which earned her a subtle eye roll from Ailiya before she turned and went behind her.

Who is this?

“I am the Baron’s knight, you can call me Arya.”

Knights are also a type of noble, albeit the lowest rank. They are the kind of nobles that these agents look up to. Although they are called agents and manage the people of the entire territory, unfortunately, they are still not nobles.

"Baron, let's go inside first. It's still a bit... "

"My lord, something terrible has happened! My lord, something terrible has happened!"

A messenger rushed out of the crowd, his flustered appearance making the acting official feel somewhat embarrassed. The baron was standing right there, yet his subordinate was behaving so improperly.

"We can talk about it later. Let's first welcome Baron Lin."
