Lords go left, Emperors go right

The primitive tribes in the Bloomfield area are simple and honest. After getting the approval of the female leader of the tribe, it is actually not difficult to get along with them. The only ones that are difficult to convince are the primitive tribes of the Sarahanim people. The primitive tribes of the Lonosbil and Nolanthias people are relatively easy to identify with. As long as the food supply can be guaranteed and the food distribution problem can be solved, most of the primitive tribes in this area can live in peace with each other.

"Lord Osta, it seems like a guest has arrived."

"guest?"

While Osta was still enjoying the delicious food, Yulia suddenly stopped what she was doing. She turned her eyes to the outside with a teasing expression on her face. She grabbed the crab claw she had just peeled and threw it out like a hidden weapon. There was a scream of pain from outside the door. Several men in black opened the door and came in. The one in the lead seemed to be the captain. He covered his right arm, which seemed to be injured by a hidden weapon. His right hand, which was good at using weapons, was disabled by the hidden weapon, greatly reducing his combat effectiveness.

The men in black were all high-level assassins, but they dared not say a word in front of Yuliya. The difference in combat power between the two sides was too great, and Yuliya had obviously let them off. If she wanted to get serious, the men in black wouldn't even be able to get close to them. The beautiful girls present were all confident in their strength, with a relaxed smile on their faces, still wearing that seductive Gothic maid outfit.

"Your Highness Osta, we apologize for offending you before. We were ordered to come and deliver a letter from Your Highness Osta. Please don't blame us."

"A messenger? Osto is really extravagant. Even the messenger is a high-level assassin."

Chris stepped forward and took the letter from the assassins, then handed it to Osta. Osta opened the letter and saw that it was sent by the lord of the neighboring territory, Baron Osdu, who was the sixth prince of the empire.

The content of the letter was to invite Aosta to attend the banquet he held in the lord's mansion. Not only Aosta, but the guy also invited the fifth prince Osra to attend the banquet. Aosta was busy with the construction of the territory during this period, and he didn't care much about the territory of his neighbors, the two brothers. He was still a little unprepared when he suddenly received the invitation.

As the third oldest, Osta had a mediocre relationship with the sixth and fifth oldest. He was reluctant to go to the banquet at first. However, Osta said that they would discuss the issue of border demarcation during the banquet. Osta was interested in the topic and decided to go.

After the fiefdoms were demarcated, the boundaries and spheres of influence had not yet been determined. The ownership of many public areas still needed to be clarified to avoid disputes in the future. Brothers had to settle accounts clearly. There was also the issue of the tariffs at Mager Wharf. Osta wanted to have a good talk with Osdu to see if the Sixth Brother could be more flexible and not be too harsh.

"Go back and tell Osdu that I will go. Also, if you send an envoy next time, don't arrange an assassin. My reception facilities are limited."

"Understood, Your Highness Aosta, we will go back and report now."

Although the men in black could hear the hidden meaning in Osta's words, they dared not speak out and could only leave in disgrace. Although the Third Prince had little fighting power, the fighting power of the maids around him was simply monsters. They could not be provoked at all. They were just cannon fodder. Moreover, Osta sent an assassin as a messenger, which was a provocation in itself.

"Lord Osta, you must be careful of that fellow Osdu. He is the son of the former queen and is more hostile to you than the other princes."

"Yulia, thank you for reminding me. I am sure that he would not dare to go against me openly. This is the Central Continent, far away from the Western Continent Empire. Any unexpected situation is possible. In front of me, he is just a younger brother after all!"

Chapter 32: The Sixth Prince's Ambition and Plan

The lords of the other two territories adjacent to Osta's territory and the Bloomfield area are his brothers, Osla and Osdu, who are also princes of the Obelisk Empire. The relationship between these two princes and Osta can only be described as average.

When he was in the Empire, because of the preference of Queen Margaret III for her son Aosta, Aosta lived in the Queen's Palace for a long time, which led to his average relationship with other princes. In the end, only the seventh prince Osser, a gentleman, and the ninth prince Osmo, a foodie, had some friendship with him for some reason, but the rest of the princes did not have much contact with him.

In Osta's memory, the fifth prince Osra was a greedy guy who valued money as his life. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have to pay for the dinner, he would never have attended the appointment. And don't even expect him to treat you. He was very stingy with his brothers and would never spend money.

The Sixth Prince Osdu, who invited the guests, was cruel by nature, had a tendency to be tyrannical, and was easily angered. Like the First Prince Osed, he was the offspring of the original queen. Because of the issue of succession to the throne, he was extremely hostile to the First Prince Osdu, and was also dissatisfied with his other brothers, but he did not show it.

The Emperor Augustus VIII was also troubled by the Sixth Prince, although he knew his bad habits. However, Augustus VIII had deep feelings for the former Queen, and for the sake of his late wife, he had always turned a blind eye to Augustus' evil deeds, so that many nobles, civil and military ministers, and residents of the Empire were disgusted with the Sixth Prince and dared not speak out.

Among the nine princes of the Obelisk Empire, the eldest prince Osed was the eldest and the legitimate heir to the throne. However, the other princes did not necessarily support their eldest brother to become emperor. Emperor Augustus VIII actually made the same mistake as Queen Margaret III, being overly partial to a prince. Margaret III doted on her own son, the third prince Osta, while Augustus VIII was overly partial to the eldest prince Osed.

This led to the other neglected and marginalized princes feeling more or less dissatisfied and resentful towards their eldest brother. The third brother, on the other hand, was not so hated. Aosta usually behaved mediocrely and was just an ordinary prince who did not steal the limelight. The other brothers could not find any reason to oppose him, and they also had to take into account Queen Margaret III and the political forces behind the queen.

The Croydra region, the territory of the Sixth Prince Osdu, is located in the territory of Aosta, south of the Bloomfield region. It is a vast plain area suitable for agricultural planting. The terrain is not complicated, mainly plain terrain. Aosta was a little envious at the beginning. Although the area of ​​the territory is not as large as his own fiefdom, the terrain environment of the Bloomfield region in Aosta's territory is complex, with all kinds of terrain, and it is difficult to develop in practice.

The lord's mansion of Prince Aoshidu has been almost completed. When this guy arrived in the Central Continent, he brought an army of 50,000 people, which was definitely a big deal. Among them, 30,000 were his own mansion guards, also known as palace soldiers. Palace soldiers are the prince's private armed forces. Every prince who owns a mansion will train his own exclusive army. Another 20,000 people are the war mercenaries recruited by Aoshidu at a high price, adding up to a total of more than 50,000 troops.

Aosta was a very special case. He lived in the palace of Queen Margaret III for many years and did not train his own army. When he came to the Central Continent this time, Aosta was accompanied by several exclusive maids.

Among the princes of the Obelisk Empire in the Central Continent, Osta had the least troops, and it could be said that he had no soldiers. The one who brought the most troops was Osder. The Emperor Augustus VIII of the Empire had high hopes for the eldest prince. The eldest prince Osder had 250,000 troops, more than 100,000 of which were his own soldiers, and more than 100,000 were the Royal Guards assigned to him by Emperor Augustus VIII, who were well-equipped. There were also more than 50,000 high-level war mercenaries hired by Osder at a high price, with strong average strength and combat effectiveness.

In addition to the eldest prince Osed, the second prince Oster is good at fighting and has a good reputation in the imperial army. He has the support of many senior military generals. He has an army of about 200,000 under his command, of which 60,000 are his own soldiers, 40,000 are hired war mercenaries, and the remaining more than 100,000 are voluntarily sent by the military to support.

Emperor Augustus VIII supports the eldest prince, Oster, as the heir to the throne. The imperial military disagrees with the emperor and supports the second prince, Oster, who can represent the interests of the military. The civil service group and the nobles tend to support the genius of the fourth prince, Osk, whose ideas are more in line with the interests of the civil service group.

After excluding the eldest prince and the second prince, the remaining princes did not have that many troops. The sixth prince that Osta visited this time, Prince Austin, obviously knew that he was short of troops, and a military fortress was built around his lord's mansion.

The Central Continent was in the primitive society era, and many primitive tribes had strong folk customs. In addition, due to the rampant bandits, most of the lords who came here built fortresses for safety. Aosdu was no exception and built a solid fortress. These lords probably managed their territories as colonies, and the lords' mansions and fortresses were built like colonial outposts.

"Brother Aosta, how are you? The servants I sent to deliver the letter didn't know the rules, so please don't be so polite. I have arranged for them to be executed, and their heads will be sent to you for your inspection later."

"Ahem, my brother Ao Sidu, forget it. The affairs of a few servants will not affect the brotherly relationship between us."

"Brother Aosta, after counting the time, you have more beautiful maids around you. I am really envious!"

"Brother Osla, when did your interests change? Didn't you say before that women are not as important as money?"

In the fortress's lord's mansion, Osta met his two "apparent brothers", the fifth prince Osra and the sixth prince Osdu. Osra had arrived earlier, and the three princes exchanged hypocritical courtesies. After all, they were in a public place, so they had to act when necessary, at least to let outsiders see that their brotherly relationship was very solid.

The fifth prince Osla is 177cm tall, taller than Osta. He wears a thick black fur coat that looks like a mink coat. He has short golden hair and blue eyes. If he weren't too stingy, with Osla's standard "tall, rich and handsome" style, he would be much more capable than the seventh prince Osser, that lecherous gentleman, in chasing girls.

Unfortunately, this guy seems to be not interested in anything other than money, not even women. Osta heard that this guy has recently been pursuing the daughter of a new noble family in the Northern Continent, who seems to be a chaebol family. He is probably attracted by the other party's property rather than women.

The Sixth Prince Osdu was 172cm tall, a little shorter than Osta, with wild short red hair and blood-red eyes. Although he looked handsome, he always gave people an inexplicable wildness and tyranny, as if he was always on the verge of going berserk. This guy's eyes did not hide his arrogance at all.

Osdu was wearing a black and gold dress. Although Osta did not say it explicitly, this was already considered a violation of the rules. According to the imperial etiquette, except for the emperor and the heir to the throne, no one else could wear black and gold clothes. Osdu's black and gold dress was obviously too much. There was even a dragon pattern on it. He could be charged with treason. This black and gold dress could only be worn by the emperor and the heir to the throne. Osdu wearing it publicly was definitely an act of usurpation.

Aosta's exclusive maids, Chris and the others, were wearing Gothic maid outfits. They did not comment on the content of the conversation between the princes. Even though they were powerful, they were still exclusive maids, so there was no need for them to interfere too much in politics. The white witch Gonias was also present. She had been taught by the maids in advance and followed Chris's example to remain silent and fulfill the responsibilities of a maid.

After a while of polite conversation, they sat down in the restaurant. For this banquet, Prince Osdu only invited Osta and Osla, and did not invite other princes. This made Osdu vaguely feel that there was a sense of forming cliques. Osdu had ideas about the position of heir to the throne, and he was too lazy to even hide his ambition and desire for the throne. He was too lazy to even act, and he was just short of confronting his eldest brother directly.

"Brother Aosta, do you think this border and sphere of influence division is ok?"

"I have no objection. My territory is very large anyway, so I'll just follow your plan."

"I have no objection either. Your division is very reasonable."

After reading the map that Osdu had marked for them, Osta and Osla were puzzled. According to Osdu's plan, he had divided many public areas into the territories of Osta and Osla, but they didn't get any territory. This was just like giving a gift. The two princes were shrewd and knew that the other party would not give benefits for no reason. Osta and Osla pretended to be calm and tasted the wine, waiting for Osdu to make a request.

Osdu waved his hand, and the attendants around him withdrew, leaving behind a white-haired old man in a black suit who looked like a butler. Osla left behind a man in black, who was wearing a black robe and covered his entire body, so his identity could not be seen. Osta left behind his exclusive maids. Each prince left behind his confidants, and now they were discussing business, which was some unknown political secrets.

"Brother Aosta, Brother Osla, let's be frank. Father has always been too partial and only values ​​our eldest brother Osed. Once the eldest brother ascends the throne, our brothers' lives will definitely be difficult. Why don't we take the initiative and make the eldest brother withdraw?"

"Brother Osla, have you drunk too much? If this word gets out, it will be a great rebellion! Even though Osta and I are brothers, we can't just sit there and watch."

"I'm not drunk. Brother Osed is too mediocre and has no ability to lead the empire to glory. This era does not need mediocre kings who do nothing. As long as you two brothers are willing to help, I wish me the throne when the time comes. I will never forget to give you the benefits. The throne has always been held by capable people. Father is old and confused, and times have changed."

Osdu looked fearless. He had planned it out before. The fifth prince Osla was greedy for money. As long as the money was in place, he would not care about rebellion. Aosta was even more so. The third prince Aosta himself had no pressure to inherit the throne. In addition, with his political background, even if the rebellion failed, Emperor Augustus VIII would not dare to do anything. He also had to consider Queen Margaret III and the political forces behind her.

When Osder was in the Empire, he dared not cause trouble under the Emperor's nose, but it was not certain that it would be the case in the Central Continent. The emperor was far away, so it was not impossible for the eldest brother to have an accident. After all, there were unexpected events, and as long as the eldest prince Osder was gone, the position of the heir to the throne would be vacant.

Chapter 33 New Solutions to Funding Problems

The territories of the princes sent by the Obelisk Empire to serve as lords in the Central Continent were not completely adjacent. Emperor Augustus VIII knew this well and knew that there were conflicts among his sons and they often quarreled with each other. In the distribution of territories, this was taken into consideration, and the princes with conflicts were not allowed to have their fiefs close to each other as much as possible, so as to avoid them attacking each other soon after taking office.

The territories of the third prince Osta and the fifth prince Osla and the sixth prince Osdu were close. Under Osdu's secret proposal, the three princes secretly signed a political agreement and did not make an open alliance. The three territories would not attack each other, and would support each other when foreign enemies invaded. Of course, this was just a secret agreement between the three princes, and there was not much political guarantee in itself. As long as the princes' attitudes changed, this secret agreement could become a useless toilet paper at any time.

Osta didn't trust these two brothers, and they must have the same attitude towards him. The fifth brother, Osla, was a miser. Although Osta was not short of money, he would not trust a brother who was only interested in money. In Osla's opinion, the brotherhood between them was probably worthless.

The sixth son, Osdu, was even worse. He was an ambitious man who wanted to seize the throne from the eldest son, Osder. Osdu was too tyrannical. If he could obtain the throne, he would be a tyrant. Although the eldest son, Osder, was mediocre, he could still be a good emperor.

In the area where the Bloomfield territory is located, there are not only areas controlled by the Obelisk Empire, but also areas controlled by lords from other continents. Based on the map, Osta preliminarily identified several nearby neighbors. To the south of the Bloomfield area is the Croydra area ruled by the sixth prince Osdu, and to the north is the Gypsytel area governed by the fifth prince Osla. The Lakramus area in the east, backed by the sea in the west, is ruled by lords from the southern continental countries.

The countries in the southern continent are mainly slave-based, and there are serious conflicts between them and the countries in the western continent where Aosta belongs. The western continent is a feudal continent, and many large landowners look down on the large slave owners in the southern continent. The two sides have disputes over the issue of labor, which eventually evolved into war.

At present, all the lords are just gaining a foothold in the Central Continent and are still in the early stages of development. It is unlikely that a war will break out so early. How long this delicate peace situation can last is still unknown.

Among the other brothers of Osta, the oldest one is Osder, who has the best territory. The port, the town and the fortress have all been built. When Emperor Augustus VIII of the Empire went on an expedition to the Central Continent, he had already paved the way for the heir to the throne. Everything is ready. The other princes are not so lucky. Unlike the eldest brother, they can't get special care from their father. They have to do everything by themselves.

"Lord Osta, although those two lords are your brothers, I think their smiles are very hypocritical. Don't mind me. I don't mean to deliberately sow discord between you and your brothers."

"Gonias, you're right. We are just brothers in name only. However, after we sign the peace treaty, no one will come to disturb our territory in the short term. We can now farm peacefully."

On the return carriage, Osta was talking to the White Witch Gonias with a relaxed expression. This gathering was just to sign an alliance treaty. In fact, Osta did not get much benefit. He originally wanted Osta to consider their brotherhood and make concessions on the tariff and commercial tax issues at Mager Wharf, slightly reducing the tax rate so that merchant ships and cargo ships can come here to trade again.

However, Osdu was not reliable at all. He was evasive on the key issues, saying that it was the will of the Empire. He could not go against his father's will, so he said he would consider it. After hearing these words, Osta felt that this matter was basically hopeless, and it was more practical to build his own Santa Maria Port. It was better to rely on himself than on others. His father's will was just a cover, and Osta was too lazy to expose Osdu in person.

The territories of other princes are far away from Aosta's territory, so there is no intersection between the two sides for the time being. Aosta can fish in his own territory for a long time without having to worry about the disputes over the succession to the throne among other princes. Although the sixth prince Osdu claims to have a hand on the eldest prince Osder, his current strength is not enough and he cannot take action, so Aosta does not need to help him for the time being.

The most pressing problem for Broomfield was the artisans, and it was obviously not possible to import them from other continents. Craftsmen were restricted from traveling, especially blacksmiths, who were subject to the greatest restrictions. After weighing the pros and cons, Osta decided to try his luck among the local primitive tribes.

According to the advice of the White Witch Gonias, her best friend, the "Black Witch" Loritana, is a knowledgeable person who knows a lot of long-lost prehistoric civilization black technology. In addition, she is the nominal leader of the Lonosbil people. If Loritana can be pulled into this camp, it will definitely be of great help to Lord Osta.

"My Lord, Loritana usually hides herself and is hard to find. I will inform you once I find her whereabouts. At that time, I will need the assistance of several maids around you, Sister Chris and others. Otherwise, I alone will not be able to invite Loritana to your side."

"Sure, just let me know when the time comes."

Osta agreed to the request of the White Witch Gonias, but felt a little strange, as if he was one of those evil slave traders in the southern continent. Although the Black Witch Loritana may not know iron smelting technology, she knows more advanced alchemy and other black technologies.

Based on this, even if it means kidnapping, Osta will get this witch under his control. When Loritana first came to the Bloomfield area to take up the post of lord, she was still in seclusion researching magic experiments. Now, according to the time, she should have come out of seclusion.

"Lord Osta, don't be discouraged. As for craftsmen, you can buy them from the port of Cobonniers. If you're lucky, you might be able to buy a blacksmith!"

"Yulia, this is a good suggestion, but you should know that I don't have the money to buy slaves now. I don't even have a copper coin."

Julia gave Osta a new suggestion, which was to go to the Lakramus territory in the east and buy craftsmen at the port of Cobonils there. That dock was a special area controlled by a pirate group.

Because the lord of the territory came from a country in the southern continent, he naturally brought the slavery system of the southern continent to the central continent and implemented slavery in his own territory. The pirates happened to have the habit of selling slaves, and the two sides hit it off and reached a cooperation agreement.

The port of Cobonils has thus become a lawless place where pirates gather, specializing in dark trade industries such as the slave trade. It is considered a smuggling holy land. All kinds of things that are considered contraband on several continents can be bought there. As long as the gold coins are in place, they can really do whatever they want.

Among the slaves sold by the pirates, there were many slaves who were craftsmen, and even apprentices could be put to good use. Osta knew about this, but he had no money now. The more than 100 gold coins he brought from the Central Continent had been spent long ago. If he wanted to go to the Cobonniers Wharf Market to purchase, he really had no money. The funds did not allow it.

Currently, only three tribes belonging to the Norantias in the Bloomfield area have recognized Osta's status as a lord and accepted his rule and management. Because they are all primitive societies, even if taxes are collected, not a single copper coin can be collected. The potatoes planted by the underground tribes will not be harvested for about a month, and selling grain for money is not feasible. Osta does not want to sell technology, sell the various design drawings left by prehistoric civilizations to others, and does not want to borrow foreign debts.

Among the neighbors near the territory where Aosta is located, only the miser Fifth Prince Osra has spare money to lend. However, it would be strange if that miser would lend money. Even if he is willing to lend money for the sake of his brother, he will charge interest at usury.

Osta didn't want to do anything that would lose money. He needed to consider other ways to obtain funds. Just as Osta was lost in thought, several of his exclusive maids quickly came up with a solution.

"Lord Aosta, we can go rob! There are many wealthy people nearby, we can just find them."

"Chris, you mean those bandits?"

Chris suggested to Osta that the lord should directly rob the active bandit groups near the territory, and make money in the name of suppressing bandits. In the Central Continent, there are many land bandits, from the lowest-level bandits to the high-level green forest bandits, desert bandits, wasteland bandits and snowfield bandits, as well as sea pirates and rebellious troops. Not only are there a lot of numbers, but they also rob a lot of supplies.

Osta could make money from them in the name of suppressing bandits, and then go to Cobonniers Wharf to buy slaves to see if he could buy slaves with craftsman skills, which would quickly solve the problem of the territory's urgent need for craftsmen. Anyway, the Central Continent is currently a disorderly place, and order has not been established. How to deal with the spoils obtained after suppressing bandits is decided by the victor himself, and it will not be confiscated. It is a shortcut to make money quickly.

Suppressing bandits is one of the lords' jobs, but most lords don't pay much attention to it, and only a few lords go back to insist on suppressing bandits. There are many reasons for this, and there are various reasons. The most important reason is that the cost is not cost-effective. Every time the lord sends out troops to suppress bandits, it will cost a lot of military expenses.

Most of the targets of the bandits' attacks were villages in remote areas, which could not collect much tax and were not worth saving. The key was to focus on protecting the wealthy villages and towns, while the poor places would be abandoned by the lords. This was the case on all continents, and it was even more serious in the chaotic Central Continent.

Osta was different. He didn't need to send out the army to suppress the bandits. Besides, he didn't have any army, just a few hero units with terrifying combat power. Chris and the other maids, as well as the white witch Gonias, and the female matriarchs who swore allegiance, all had combat power that exceeded the limit of ordinary humans. After listening to Chris's advice, Osta quickly came up with an idea. It seemed that he could conduct "fishing enforcement" and take the opportunity to destroy several nearby bandit nests and get money from the bandits.

After deciding on the idea, the next step was to find a target. Most robbers only had kitchen knives and sticks as weapons. They were so poor that they didn't even have protective gear. Many of them fought shirtless. Such people were even poorer than him, so there was basically no value in exterminating them. Osta's target was the bandit groups active around the Bloomfield area.

These green forest bandits have been in the Central Continent for quite a long time and have been operating for a while. They may have made a lot of money, so this is the perfect time to eliminate them. Other lords don't care about the bandit groups, so he can destroy them easily, which basically won't cause any controversy.

Chapter 34: Cleansing Operation of Bandit Groups

The disorder and primitive social state of the Central Continent led to an extremely chaotic situation. Although all the human continents sent lords here to develop the business, the progress was not smooth. Most of the lords who came to the Central Continent were just to gain political experience, and some were speculators who wanted to make a quick buck. There were very few lords who really cared about the development of the Central Continent. They came here either to seek wealth or political capital.

In the territory belonging to Osta, around the Bloomfield area, there are many strongholds of bandits and robber gangs. Due to the remote location of these bandit lairs, basically no lord goes back to encircle and suppress them. It is too unprofitable, and the kind of losing business that cannot even recover the military expenses of a single battle.

Because of the fierce character of the people, these bandits and robbers dared not enter the Bloomfield area without permission to commit crimes. That was a forbidden area where even the Obelisk Empire expeditionary force had returned in defeat. They could only wander around the periphery of the territory, waiting for an opportunity to find a target to rob.

The aboriginals of the Central Continent have no money, and basically have nothing to rob. They are all in the primitive society stage. It is strange that the clan members of the primitive tribes have valuable property. The robbers and bandits rob mainly the merchants who come to the Central Continent to do business, or the residents of the pioneer village. In the final analysis, it is the same people robbing each other. The local aboriginals have no money, so they can only rob outsiders. The main reason is that there are no gold coins. Robbers and bandits generally only recognize gold coins and will not rob other things.

In the forest outside the Bloomfield area, a group of bandits found a rare robbery target, a pair of petite loli girls with single ponytails. The sisters, one with pink hair and sky-blue contact lenses, and the other with sky-blue hair and pink contact lenses, did not seem to be wearing any decent clothes, but a special slime armor that looked as if it could be stripped off at will.

The bandits were well-equipped, unlike the robbers and bandits, many of whom did not even have basic protective gear and went into battle bare-chested, with sticks as their weapons, and the better weapons being kitchen knives. The bandits were equipped with leather armor, swords, shields, and long-range combat weapons, and were fully equipped with bows and arrows.

This bandit group has more than a hundred people, with clear division of labor: vanguard, center guard, and rear guard. Vanguards are scouts, responsible for reconnaissance, center guards are ordinary warriors, the main force of war. Rear guards are long-range professions such as archers, responsible for providing long-range strike support. There are no magic professions. Magic professions are rare in the human race. Even the elite troops of each empire do not have many magicians, let alone these bandits.

"These two girls are very pretty. If we take them to the port of Cobonniers and sell them to the pirates, we will definitely make a lot of money."

"Brothers, let's get started. Have fun first and then sell!"

The bandits had malicious smiles on their ferocious faces, and their eyes were full of obscene glances, wandering around the two lolita girls, as if they had already taken them. There was no fear on the pretty faces of the pair of lolita girls, as if they were waiting here for the bandits to come.

They were none other than the sisters Clena and Claya, the matriarchs of the Twin Tribe under Osta. They had abilities similar to those of the monster slime. Because they could not understand each other's language, they were not clear about what these bandits were saying, and did not know what these men wanted to do. The two sisters came out to help according to the commission of Lord Osta to earn extra money for the territory.

"These two girls are not afraid, they must be fools!"

"Who cares if she's stupid or not, as long as she's useful, if you don't like it, go to the back of the queue."

The bandits didn't know their doom was coming. They surrounded the sisters Clena and Claya. Some anxious perverts even started to untie their belts. At this time, the two girls' faces changed, revealing a teasing smile, like the smile of a devil when a prank succeeded. The originally ordinary ground suddenly became very sticky, like a swamp.

"These two are demons! Quick... retreat quickly?"

By the time the bandits realized something was wrong, it was too late. They screamed in fear and fell into the dissolving slime one by one, melting on the spot, leaving no bones. Some of the bandits tried to make a last stand, using bows and arrows to shoot the strange loli sisters before they were dissolved, but it was too late.

These struggles were useless. The sharp arrows shot out had almost no effect on the sisters Clena and Claya, and had no damage effect at all. Slime itself was immune to physical attacks, and those arrows fell in mid-air due to the obstruction of mucus, and could not hit the target at all.

After a round of desperate screams, the hundreds of bandits were completely dissolved, leaving no trace at all, as if they had never come to this world. The bodies and equipment were melted and turned into power to be absorbed by the sisters Clena and Claya. The two sisters were dangerous and terrifying.

If the lord this time was not like Osta who had super combat power, he would definitely become the first victim. Clena and Claya were not hunting and preying, their real purpose was to devour the victims and transform them into power for their own use.

In addition to the sisters Clena and Claya, in fact, Mira, who is also the matriarch, has similar abilities, and the effects are even more terrifying than the former. However, Osta did not even think about it and declined Mira's application to join the war. The reason is simple. Mira's molten chocolate outfit is too evil and tempting. If this is seen by outsiders, Osta feels that he has lost a lot, and it is obvious that he will lose a lot of money, so he did not let Mira join the war.

After the sisters Clena and Claya wiped out the bandits, they quickly found the bandits' lair based on the memories they had taken from them when they devoured them, and directly robbed the lair, seizing a large amount of property from there. Many bandit groups were wiped out without even knowing who the attackers were. Clena and Claya did not even need to enter the cave where the other party was hiding, but controlled the slime attack from a distance and used long-range attacks to deal with the opponent on the spot.

Similar unusual events continued to occur in the outer border area of ​​Bloomfield in the following days. In less than a week, all the bandit lairs near Bloomfield were destroyed, and more than a thousand bandits disappeared mysteriously, and their whereabouts are still unknown.

Because no one was found, not even the body was found, which led to rumors spreading among bandits and robbers, saying that there was a curse outside the Bloomfield area and outsiders should be careful not to enter. For a long time, no one dared to approach that territory. The bandits thought it was an ominous place and did not dare to joke with their lives. Don't make money but not spend it, that would be a tragedy, and end up being a dowry for others and a bargain for outsiders.

Osta was secretly rejoicing in the temporary lord's mansion beside Marianas Beach. His judgment was correct. These bandits were really profitable. In the special hunting activities of the sisters Clena and Claya for several days, they wiped out (devoured) more than a thousand bandits and cleared out dozens of bandits' nests.

Osta seized a large amount of stolen currency from these bandit strongholds. After a rough calculation, he obtained more than 300 gold coins in total. These gold coins were accumulated by the green forest bandits for a long time, and now they were all looted by Osta. It was the first pot of gold he made in the Central Continent.
