Is this cheat code from Bika? Just do it!

After washing her up, Link used a towel to carefully dry Della's body, then carried her back to her room.

Of course, during the cleaning process, I was also rubbed and had my vagina dug in quite a bit. Link even said that this was the only way to get it clean.

Della was both ashamed and angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Back in his room, Link worked hard for several more hours until he had completely transformed Della's body and soul into his own before finally stopping his morning exercise.

80. A storm is brewing

Just as Link and the little maid were immersed in a warm moment, enjoying their intimate time together, a significant matter was being carried out intensively within the territory.

The newly made stoves are being distributed to every corner in a steady stream.

These furnaces were not only sent to Winterfell, but also to Thorn City, which Link had only recently conquered.

As the furnaces were distributed, Link's popularity among the people grew like a seedling in spring.

Nowadays, whenever Link's name is mentioned, the people of the territory all praise him, calling him kind and benevolent.

Even the common people of Thorn City were deeply grateful to Link, their eyes filled with respect and gratitude.

Looking back, although Link successfully conquered Thorn City, the people there were filled with awe and fear towards him.

They lived in constant fear, terrified that Link would turn them into slaves, subjecting them to an even more bleak existence than before.

However, Link did not let the people's concerns become a reality.

On the contrary, he successively implemented benevolent policies within his territory.

They exempted the people from many cumbersome taxes, easing their burden; they built houses for them, providing them with warm shelter from the wind and rain; and they actively organized people to clean the territory, improving the people's living environment.

Now, during the harshest winter for his people, he has brought them a life-saving stove, allowing them to feel real care and warmth.

These measures made all the citizens of Thorn City completely submit to Link, their new lord.

Their initial fear and unease were gradually replaced by trust and reliance, and Link truly became a lord they could trust.

However, fate always seems to play tricks on people. Just when Link thought everything was going in the right direction, something even worse happened again.

The entire North was covered in snow, and the silver-clad world seemed peaceful and serene, but undercurrents were surging beneath the surface.

Just then, the black-knife assassins who had been sent out earlier brought Link some bad news.

“Lord Link, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the lord of Ashvalley County, Carter Zane, also covets our wealth and intends to send troops to plunder us after winter ends.”

A black-knife assassin knelt on one knee and respectfully reported.

After hearing this, Link stroked his chin slightly, pondering to himself.

First Schumpeter, then Carter Zane. Indeed, in this world, doing something outrageous can easily attract attention!

"Lord Carter Zane of Ashvalley County, he's a powerful and ruthless lord!"

Upon hearing this name, the old butler Slo, who was standing behind Link, became serious.

He knew how formidable Carter Zane was, and he understood what this news meant for Link.

Through the old butler Slow's narration, combined with the intelligence gathered by the Black Knife Assassin, Link gradually learned about the information related to Lord Carter Zane of Ashvalley County.

Carter Zane started by trading slaves in the North and, through ruthless methods and extraordinary courage, accumulated considerable wealth and power.

Later, he caught the eye of Norton Gregor, known as the "Duke of Terror," and was made Lord of Ashvalley.

The mere fact that Norton Gregg, the "Dark Lord," is involved is enough to intimidate many people.

Norton Gregg, as a duke, wielded considerable power, but more importantly, he was also the eldest prince's most trusted confidant and father-in-law.

Currently, the eldest prince has the highest probability of succeeding to the throne, and Norton Gregg, as a member of the royal family, has an unshakeable position.

Anyone who dares to provoke him is undoubtedly out of their mind and has a death wish.

Even setting aside Norton Gregg, the "Dreadlord," Carter Zane himself possesses considerable power.

He possessed a cavalry legion of 500 men, well-trained and well-equipped, as well as an infantry legion of 8,000 men, who served as a solid support for Katar Zane. In addition, there were 2,000 slave warriors who had to fight for Katar Zane for survival, and their fighting strength should not be underestimated.

Such formidable power was enough to intimidate the lords, large and small, surrounding Ashvalley County.

Moreover, Carter Zane is also a very cold-blooded and cruel lord.

The minor lords near Ashenvale County are required to offer tribute to Carter Zane every year in exchange for their safety.

According to old Slow, a lord had previously complained about this at his own banquet, expressing his dissatisfaction. The next day, his head was hung on the gates of Ashvalley County as a warning to other lords.

The surrounding lords held this city lord of Ashvale in awe and reverence, yet were powerless to do anything about him.

Even though these lords, if united, would be stronger than Carter Zane, no one dared to even consider doing so.

Because in addition to his own powerful influence, Carter Zane also has an even more terrifying terrorist leader standing behind him.

Even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner. Anyone who dares to touch Greyvale County or Carter Zane is slapping the face of the Terror Lord, and the consequences are predictable.

After listening to the old butler and the black-knife assassin recount Carter Zane's strength and background in detail, Link's slightly joking attitude instantly vanished, and he became more alert, his gaze turning serious.

Compared to Schumpeter of Hammerhead, this Carter Zane is clearly much stronger and more difficult to deal with.

Although Schumpeter had some influence, he was nothing compared to Carter Zane.

However, Link thought about it again and became confident.

He knew that in war, quantity did not mean anything; quality would prevail over everything.

Previously, when dealing with Schumpeter, he only had three hundred cavalrymen, but he still managed to rout the enemy's three thousand-strong army, leaving them in complete disarray.

That battle fully demonstrated the strength of elite troops.

With Agnes backing him up, what else could he possibly worry about?

Moreover, intelligence clearly indicates that all signs point to Carter Zane launching an attack after winter ends.

"Winter is over?"

Link sneered, secretly plotting in his mind.

Given time to accumulate power, his power will become even stronger.

He was not afraid of this newly emerged enemy.

In Winterhold and Thornholdt, everything remained the same, with no indication whatsoever of an impending great battle.

The people continued their peaceful lives, the streets were bustling with people, vendors enthusiastically hawked their wares, and children wrapped in thick coats laughed, played, and had snowball fights in the streets, as if everything was as usual.

As time slowly passed, the atmosphere in Ashvalley County became somewhat turbulent.

Inside the magnificent and luxurious city lord's mansion, Carter Zane was comfortably reclining on a chaise lounge covered with soft fur, enjoying the gentle massage service from two maids around him.

He closed his eyes slightly, a look of contentment on his face.

In front of him, a ridiculously comical-looking fellow, less than 1.5 meters tall and resembling a dwarf, was respectfully prostrating himself at Carter Zane's feet.

If old Slow were here, he would certainly be familiar with this dwarf-like fellow, for he was none other than Morson, the most loyal servant of Schumpeter, who had been personally beheaded by Link!

As a servant, Morson did not participate in the great battle of Ironhammer Territory.

So on that day, before Link entered the city, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the city and luckily survived.

After escaping, Morson lived in constant fear, terrified that Link would come after him.

But he had no idea that Link had never paid any attention to him. In his eyes, Morson was nothing but a clown. What good would it do to escape?

Meanwhile, Morson, enduring hunger and thirst during this period, grew increasingly resentful of Link.

It was Link who led him to his current predicament, causing him to lose his former wealth and status and leave him to wander around like a stray dog.

Now, Morson has actually joined forces with Lord Carter Zane of Ashenvale, attempting to use Carter Zane's power to take revenge on Link.

"Lord of the city, you must not underestimate the lord of Winter City!"

Morson prostrated himself at Carter Zane's feet, speaking with utmost deference and obsequiousness, "Lord Schumpeter was easily defeated because he underestimated him. He's an incredibly cunning fellow; you must be extremely careful and not underestimate him!"

Carter Zane glanced at Morson, who was lying at his feet, and said indifferently, "How dare Schumpeter compare himself to me, the lord?"

With that, he kicked out, and Morson's body flew out and crashed into the wall.

The feeling was like a toad stuck to the wall—utterly ridiculous.

Moerson, kicked away by Carter Zane, ignored the pain and quickly scrambled back to Carter Zane's feet, fawningly saying, "Great Lord of Ashenvale, how can a mere Schumpeter compare to you? Although that lord of Winterfell defeated Schumpeter, under your great light, he is still like an ant, insignificant. You only need to lift your foot slightly to crush this ant!"

Carter Zane smiled disdainfully at Morson's words.

He didn't take Morson's words to heart. In his view, Link was just a lucky lord and nothing to be afraid of.

"Heh, you clown-like thing, you're actually kind of interesting."

Carter Zane glanced lazily at Morson, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.

Morson quickly bowed his head, his face full of a fawning smile, and said, "Great Lord of the City, whatever you command, I will do my utmost."

Carter Zane's lips curled into a sinister smile as he said, "Alright then, since you wish to pledge your allegiance to me, I will grant you that opportunity. Now, you will represent me in going to Winterfell and instruct its lord to bring all his secrets and wealth to Ashvalley County, to be offered to me. In return, he will gain my friendship and become my best friend. If he disobeys, he will become my enemy, and Schumpeter's fate will be his fate as well!"

By the end, Carter Zane's voice had become incredibly cold, as if it were coming from an ice cellar.

Although the harsh winter in the North was not suitable for a large-scale offensive, and his advisors all advised him to wait until the winter was over, Carter Zane was no longer willing to wait.

He knew that a revolution was about to take place in the kingdom and the throne would be changed.

He wanted to acquire the elves' property as quickly as possible and then offer it to the Lord of Terror in exchange for more slaves and to expand his power.

Time was of the essence, and he had to seize every second to gain a greater share of the benefits in the upcoming changes.

"Great Lord, it is my humble Morson's pleasure to serve you!"

Upon hearing Carter Zane's words, Molson's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had seen the dawn of revenge.

The last time Iron Hammer Territory suffered a crushing defeat at Link's hands was like a nightmare, constantly haunting Morson's mind.

Now, he has pledged allegiance to Kart Zane, the Lord of Ashvald, who is far more powerful than Schumpeter, and his heart is filled with pride and a thirst for revenge.

This time, he was determined to teach the lord of Winter City a lesson and see how arrogant he could still be!

The thought of the lord of Winterfell being terrified and begging for mercy on his knees upon hearing the name of Carter Zane made Morson's body tremble with excitement, as if he could already see the scene of victory.

......

Three days later.

Inside the lord's manor in Winterfell, the dwarf Morson stood in the center of the hall, hands on his hips, and shouted at Link with an air of arrogance: "Lord of Winterfell, these are the words of the great Lord Carter Zane, and I have relayed them word for word! Choose to submit, hand over all your secrets and treasures, and you may live!"

However, to Morson's utter bewilderment, after he mentioned the name of Katar Zane, the lord of Winterfell, Link, remained completely unfazed, his eyes calm and indifferent, as if he had no idea what the name Katar Zane actually meant.

Was it because he was frightened?

"That's what Morson guessed," he said presumptuously.

He was somewhat dissatisfied, feeling that Link hadn't shown the appropriate fear, so he continued to intimidate, "Humble Lord of Winterfell, you only have one chance, so you'd better seize it. Lord Carter Zane's power is beyond your imagination. Now, kneel down obediently and beg me! Only after I'm satisfied will I tell Lord Carter Zane about your humility and submission. Otherwise, I will incite Lord Carter Zane to raise a large army and completely destroy your Winterfell!"

As he spoke, Morson stared intently at Link with his small eyes, trying to see a hint of fear or hesitation on his face.

But Link just sat there quietly, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery and disdain.

Looking at Morson, who was putting on such a clown-like performance, Link sighed and found it somewhat amusing.

He waved his hand and ordered the guards beside him, "Take this guy away, hang him on the city wall to dry, and after he dies, send him back to that Carter Zane. A mere remnant of the Ironhammer Territory dares to threaten me here. Doesn't he know who he is?"

The guards obeyed and immediately stepped forward to lift Morson up.

Morson suddenly realized the enormity of his predicament. He struggled desperately, shouting, "You can't do this to me! I am Lord Carter Zane's messenger! You'll enrage him!"

But Link just gave him a cold look and didn't say another word.

The guards dragged Morson out, and the hall returned to calm.

If a storm is brewing, then let it come.

"I actually hope you can all come over, so I can turn you into points in the system."

Link put down his teacup and gave a cold snort with an indifferent expression.

81. Hannah's situation (4300 words!)

There was no time to concern oneself with the affairs of someone as insignificant as Morson.
