Chapter 300 - Leaving Cold Desolate Dragon City (1/2)
”Mr. City Lord, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You even defeated the powerful Mountain Giant King. Your deeds have already spread throughout Iron Skull City.” Rhett, the Commander of Iron Skull City, said as he walked towards Lorne.
”That's nothing. That Mountain Giant King is not very powerful. Defeating it is not a glorious thing. What I'm worried about now is that the surrounding monsters are going after the Cold Desolate Dragon City. The attacks in the future will probably be much more ferocious than this.”
”Indeed. Cold Desolate Dragon City is located in the ruins of the war and near the Lake of Death. Coupled with the unique location that can connect the three fortresses, it makes the dark forces very afraid of the rise of Cold Desolate Dragon City. They will definitely secretly pressure Cold Desolate Dragon City and even destroy the construction of the city.”
”However, Cold Desolate Dragon City is fighting for peace. On behalf of Iron Skull City, I thank you for your contribution. At the same time, I will bring 100,000 city guards to guard Cold Desolate Dragon City for a long time and contribute a portion of our strength to the defense of the Dragon City.”
Rhett said righteously, but soon, he looked troubled and said, ”However, the army has encountered some trouble recently.”
”What trouble?” Lorne asked.
”It's like this. We have recently distributed 50,000 city guards to clear the monsters in the distant forest, but the price of the potions in the city is too high, and the price of the teleportation circle is also very high. It's difficult for us to bear the military expenses. Therefore, I would like to ask you to give us a discount, Mr. City Lord.”
Rhett said this, but just making a request made him feel a little embarrassed, so he quickly said, ”In return, I will arrange for 30,000 city guards to take on the defense mission in the city and don't need you to pay any fees.”
”I didn't consider it thoroughly enough.” Lorne said, ”Commander Rhett, how about this? I'll give the city guards the normal price when buying potions, and the teleportation circle will be provided for you for free.”
”That's great!” Rhett said in surprise, ”With such convenience, the city guards can carry out the mission in peace. Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Tyrant.”
”It's okay. I haven't forgotten about the financial support that Iron Skull City has given to Cold Desolate Dragon City. Without the help of Iron Skull City, Cold Desolate Dragon City would not have been able to expand to its current state in such a short time.” Lorne smiled and said, ”If there's anything you need help with in the future, please feel free to ask. As long as it's within my ability, I will definitely do my best to help.”
”Alright, please rest assured, Mr. Tyrant. In the future, if Cold Desolate Dragon City needs help, Iron Skull City will definitely do its best to help. I hope that our two cities can help each other forever.”
”Yes.”
Lorne nodded.
At that moment, he received a notification.
That was, his affinity with Commander Rhett had increased by 5,000 points.
This was shocking news.
After all, he was the highest military officer in Iron Skull City.
With his affinity, his cooperation with Iron Skull City should be easier in the future.
While Lorne was thinking, Rhett had returned to the camp and issued a mission.
Ding!
”Regional Announcement: Commander of Iron Skull City, Rhett, has issued an army mission: Eliminate the Monsters in the Ruins of the War!”
”Mission Description: In order to eliminate the threat in the country, Iron Skull City has sent the city guards to the ruins of the war to completely clean up the entire ruins.

You can obtain the reputation reward of Iron Skull City by killing the monsters. Please join us.”

”Ding!”
