My queen is rebelling!

Chapter 131: After Victory – Cohen's Appointments for the Ladies!

Thomas Wade scanned the crowd, his voice cold and hard as iron:

"'Captain' died in the revolutionary cause, a loyal warrior who stood the test of time, a role model and spiritual pillar for every peasant brother, understand?"

The crowd was silent. Yes, no matter what his true identity was, it could not be made public.

Once the comrades knew the truth—that the captain, who had followed four generations of 'leaders' and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause, was actually a 'landlord' lurking within the farmers' association—

the faith and spiritual pillar of countless people would collapse.

...

At the west gate of 'Cultivator City-State,' Ivan Petrov looked into the distance from atop the city gate. It was already the time he had agreed upon with 'Captain,' but there was still no sign of movement.

He turned his head and looked at the guard beside him, asking:

"Has there been any news from Rice and Barry on their sides?"

The guard shook his head and said:

"Not yet, but there was a lot of commotion in the city just now. It seems that they have already started to act over there."

Ivan felt a sense of unease for no reason. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"Send a few people to take a look and report any situation on their sides in a timely manner."

"Yes!"

Ivan didn't have to wait too long. Soon, faint flickers of firelight came from the distance.

Ivan's gaze suddenly deepened, and a few cruel smiles appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Finally, they're here!

Thomas Wade looked at the rebel army behind him and couldn't help but clench his fists.

After more than ten years of accumulation, how much would be left after tonight's battle was unknown.

He could only place his hopes on the mysterious young man who claimed to be the envoy of the Witch Council.

The tall and majestic city gate was already clearly visible, towering in the darkness like a ferocious beast hidden in the dark, opening its mouth to devour countless lives.

Having reached this point, all hesitation and doubt were meaningless. All he could do now was advance, advance!

Guarding the west gate on a daily basis was the 'Night Patrol' under the City-State Garrison.

The deputy captain of the Night Patrol was a mole secretly developed by the 'Farmers' Association.'

If everything went smoothly, then this mole should secretly open the city gate tonight to allow the rebel army to enter the city secretly.

However, with a traitor like 'Captain' present, the so-called mole was probably already exposed and even eliminated.

Wade looked at the city gate not far away, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

Perhaps Ivan Petrov was leading his men, hiding in some dark corner, waiting for him to take the bait and wipe out the forces of the Farmers' Association!

Wade took a few deep breaths. After calming his mind, he made a strange animal cry as previously agreed.

This was the password agreed upon with the inside contact of the 'Night Patrol' to open the gate.

Soon, the same cry came from the opposite side.

Is it a trap?

Wade's heart was surging. He had no other choice. His purpose in coming here today was to be bait.

He could only hope that the mysterious envoy's army could resist all of Ivan's trump cards!

Wade took the lead, leading the high-level members of the 'Farmers' Association' and 20,000 rebel troops, marching towards the west gate.

The 20,000 soldiers surged like a tide, advancing mightily towards the west gate.

The so-called 'Basic Level' army meant that they already possessed relatively complete standardized equipment and various types of arms.

They were able to adapt to combat in various complex terrains.

Regardless of 'Captain's' true identity, at least he had been wholeheartedly training the 'Farmers' Association' armed forces.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to lurk in the upper echelons of the Farmers' Association for so many years.

The rebel soldiers were wearing heavy leather armor, and each of them had sharp and uniform standardized weapons. Although they didn't have weapons mixed with 'Arcanium' like Ivan's security forces,

gathering enough equipment for such an army had almost exhausted the Farmers' Association's resources and assets over the years.

Compared to the relatively ordinary weapons in their hands, the most striking thing about this army was the blazing flames burning in the eyes of each soldier.

It was as if any obstacle blocking their path would be mercilessly torn apart.

The vanguard of the army was an elite infantry phalanx. Led by ten transcendents, they stood shoulder to shoulder, closely packed together, like an indestructible iron wall.

Behind the infantry phalanx were well-equipped cavalry units, armed with spears or bows and arrows, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at a critical moment.

At the rear of the army were various siege weapons—catapults, crossbow carts, siege vehicles, and a magic crossbow cannon carefully pushed by several black-robed soldiers!

With a wave of Wade's hand, the army rushed towards the city gate like an arrow leaving the string. The shouts, footsteps, and the sound of weapons colliding instantly formed a deafening roar, shocking everyone's minds.

The army moved extremely fast. Almost in an instant, Wade had already led the vanguard to the edge of the city gate.

The scene before him did not exceed his expectations.

The city gate was not wide open as previously discussed with the inside contact of the 'Night Patrol,' but was tightly closed, and the surrounding area was emitting terrifying magical fluctuations.

Obviously, there were a considerable number of transcendents guarding the other side of the city gate.

Just then, a rough voice rang out from the city gate tower:

"Wade, long time no see!"

As the voice rang out, the originally inky night suddenly bloomed with unprecedented strange brilliance.

Under the night, the originally dim sky was suddenly illuminated by a burst of dazzling magical light.

Abundant magic power was continuously output from the city gate tower, not only illuminating the sky but also reflecting on the entire battlefield.

The city walls, soldiers, siege weapons, and even every face were covered by this strange light.

Spellcasters!

Such vast magic power, at least a Silver-rank spellcaster or higher!

Wade's face sank slightly. Ivan did indeed have hidden cards!

He also had his own sources of information within the city-state, including the 'Cultivation Society'—those noble ladies and beauties he had hooked up with.

He had never heard that Ivan had any powerful spellcasters under his command!

Wade focused his gaze and looked into the distance. Two middle-aged mages wearing gorgeous robes stood beside Ivan.

A sixth-order fire mage!

A sixth-order ice mage!

In addition, there was also a sixth-order [Gun Warrior] and a sixth-order [Shield Warrior]!

Plus his own seventh-order combat power!

For a time, the entire battlefield was suppressed by these five transcendents.

The five descended gracefully from the tall city gate. Ivan stared at Wade's face, letting out a cruel laugh:

"I really underestimated you. The rat I let go in the beginning has now grown to the point where even I have to take you seriously."

Ivan's gaze swept over the rebel army behind Wade, and he said with some emotion:

"To be able to develop a 'Basic Level' army of 20,000 people under my nose,

I have to admit, you are indeed a character!

How about this, you plant a slave brand, acknowledge me as your master, and I will spare your life.

If you perform well, I can help you advance to the Gold rank, how about it?"

There was no expression on Wade's face. When he truly faced his greatest enemy in this life, he surprisingly had no emotions, only saying calmly:

"Mr. Petrov, no matter what, I am much stronger than LeBlanc, your offer is too stingy!

LeBlanc doesn't seem to have a slave brand planted on him at all."

Surprise appeared on Ivan's face, and he looked at Wade seriously for the first time, asking:

"I haven't seen him, so you've already noticed.

It's really not easy. By the way, how does it feel to kill your own teacher?"

LeBlanc in Wade's mouth was the real name of the code name 'Captain.'

Apart from the few elders of the 'Farmers' Association,' not many people know this name anymore.

Wade nodded seriously and said:

"It doesn't feel very good, so I'm going to take your head to send him off later!"

Ivan laughed loudly and said:

"Poor child, don't you understand even at this time?

Everything you have and rely on is not worth mentioning in my eyes. Your so-called power is vulnerable!

To put it bluntly, you are just a group of fat pigs I have raised in captivity. I can slaughter you whenever I want!"

After hearing Ivan's words, Wade suddenly let out a burst of inexplicable laughter, saying:

"Ivan, your confident look is very similar to the way I was back then. I'm looking forward to seeing a look of panic on your face.

Let's start quickly, show me all your trump cards!

I can't wait!"

Ivan's face suddenly turned fierce, he snorted coldly, and signaled to the fire mage beside him.

The sixth-tier fire mage beside him launched a signal into the sky.

Instantly, a thunderous roar came from the horizon. Looking into the distance, the dense, dark mass of the Security Army surged from all directions like a raging tide, completely surrounding Wade's rebel army.

The terrifying aura exuded by the four thousand "regular-level" soldiers actually suppressed Wade's twenty thousand troops, making them unable to raise their heads.

Ivan's face was cold as he said in a deep voice:

"I'll give you one last chance. Surrender, or die!"

Wade slowly drew his long sword, and his aura as a peak sixth-tier powerhouse suddenly erupted. He coldly shouted:

"Come on, let me see how many of your Security Army will be left after tonight!"

With a boom!

The great battle instantly erupted.

Wade took the lead, leading his personal guards to fight against the Security Army.

The other high-ranking members of the Farmers' Association also led their respective extraordinary subordinates to engage in a bloody battle with the Security Army.

Ivan's face was grim as he ordered the [Gun Warrior] and the [Shield Warrior]:

"You two go and restrain Wade. Don't give them a chance to both suffer heavy losses.

As long as you delay them for a while, my Security Army will soon be able to devour them all!"

"Yes!"

After arranging the task, Ivan leisurely observed the situation on the battlefield.

The four thousand "regular-level" Security Army soldiers had almost maximized their advantages.

They moved freely among the twenty thousand rebel soldiers, charging and rampaging as if they were in no man's land.

Like a precisely operating war machine, each part cooperated seamlessly.

When attacking, they were like mercury seeping into the ground, penetrating every gap.

The infantry took the lead, like a surging wave, neatly and uniformly breaking through the rebel army's defensive formation.

The cavalrymen were like arrows released from a bow, flanking from the left and right. Their horsemanship was superb, and they could still maintain a tight formation while galloping at high speed, tearing a gap in the opponent's defensive formation.

The heavy armored soldiers quickly followed up on the gap torn by the cavalry, expanding the results of the battle and not giving the rebel army any chance to catch their breath.

Less than five minutes after the start of the battle, the rebel army had already suffered more than a hundred casualties, while the Security Army only experienced a slight decrease in physical strength, and had not even suffered any damage.

This was still with Wade and other extraordinary individuals restraining them from the side, otherwise the rebel army's battle losses would have been even greater.

Just as Ivan thought that the overall situation was set, suddenly a thin figure rushed from the city, shouting weakly:

"Urgent report, urgent report!"

Ivan was shocked and signaled to the ice mage beside him with his eyes.

The latter immediately turned into a whirlwind and dragged the person over.

Ivan coldly shouted:

"Speak, what's the urgent report!"

The thin figure was a surviving combat member of the Society, and it was Saffron who sent him to report to Ivan.

He said intermittently:

"Barley… Lord Barley has died in his duty!"

Ivan's face was horrified, and he grabbed the member's shoulders with both hands and said in a cold voice:

"What did you say? Say it again? Who died in their duty?"

It's no wonder Ivan was so excited, because Barley was too important to him.

In addition to controlling the largest agricultural research base in the city-state, the most important thing was that he was Ivan's own nephew!

The member took a breath and said:

"Yes… It's Lord Barley!

He was killed by a gold-ranked elf!

Lord Saffron was also seriously injured, barely managing to save his life. President, our Society brothers and those comrades from the security team… They all… sacrificed themselves!"

Ivan felt a buzzing in his head when he heard the words "gold-ranked elf."

Gold-ranked elf!

His mind instantly flashed with the figures of a group of people!

Damn it, it's them!

They actually intervened in the internal affairs of the city-state!

Is this the meaning of "Lord of the Sequence" Belmodi?

Or are they acting on their own!

Didn't "Conductor" say that they were from "Pale Wings"?

Why do they want to interfere in the affairs of "Lost Land".

Ivan's mind was like paste, in a state of chaos, and he didn't even have time to feel sad for Barley.

He has the most important thing to do now!

Since the other party has even used gold-ranked powerhouses, then the three thousand guards brought by that person will definitely not be silent!

Maybe…

Ivan's heart jumped violently. Are the three thousand people brought by that mysterious person really just ordinary guards?

Why did Wade clearly know that "Captain" was his undercover agent in the "Farmers' Association", but still attacked according to the original plan tonight?

Why did he know that the West City Gate was a trap, but he still jumped down actively!

Ivan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a sense of inexplicable fear welled up in his heart.

He immediately turned to the fire mage beside him and said:

"Send a signal, let the Security Army withdraw first…"

However, before he could finish speaking, a shocking sound rang out from all directions!

In the nearby jungle, the "Concentric Curse Seal" on Arnold's arm emitted a faint glow, his eyes were cold, and a heroic spirit burst out in his chest.

First battle!

He must win beautifully!

Win perfectly!

He wants to prove his worth to Cohen!

This future God of the Continent's Army, starting from this encirclement and counter-encirclement annihilation battle, launched the first battle of his military career!

With Arnold's order, the Tiger Brave Army, like a sharp dagger, slashed straight out from the rear of the battlefield towards the Security Army's formation.

These beastmen were unusually burly, with bulging muscles, and were half a head taller than normal human soldiers on average.

The weapons in their hands were even more terrifying, all of which were extremely destructive weapons—a wolf's tooth club that was taller than a person, a nail-studded hammer the size of two watermelons, a double-sided axe that was half a person wide, and a shield covered in spikes.

Looking at it made people shudder.

These beastmen's eyes flashed with wild light, and they kept making low roars, which echoed like thunder on the battlefield, making people tremble with fear.

Arnold's face was serious, and he calmly observed every corner of the battlefield, constantly analyzing the distribution of enemy and us forces and the advantages of the terrain in his mind.

With the activation of the "Concentric Curse Seal" in his hand, orders were quickly passed within the Tiger Brave Army.

Under Arnold's command, the Tiger Brave Army interspersed and covered each other on the battlefield, forming encirclements of varying sizes, and always managed to form an advantage of more against less in a small area.

The encirclement formed by the beastmen army was airtight, like a cage exuding the aura of death.

Under the pressure of this powerful aura, the faces of the surrounded Security Army soldiers were pale, and they could clearly feel a kind of oppression from the primitive and barbaric power under these black armor masks!

Their will to resist began to waver.

Soon, the encirclement was reduced, and the reduction of each encirclement meant that more than a dozen Security Army soldiers were annihilated.

Before long, the four thousand Security Army soldiers had been divided into hundreds of large and small encirclements, and were being swallowed up by the Tiger Brave Army!

Ivan's face was full of horror and anger. The shock that the fourth-tier commander brought him was too great!

He also saw that the two thousand Tiger Brave Army soldiers under Arnold were only "regular-level" combat power.

The reason why they could inflict such huge damage on the Security Army so easily was entirely due to that fourth-tier commander!

It was as if these two thousand people were his hands, and he could always accurately find the weaknesses of the Security Army and attack them.

When the Security Army reacted, he quickly withdrew his hands and retreated.

Watching the Security Army inherited from his family for generations fall one by one, Ivan couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately ordered the two mages beside him to attack and kill Arnold.

However, just as the two mages were preparing to cast their spells, two emerald green rays of light shot from the sky with shocking magical fluctuations.

Ivan was shocked, and his whole body's magic power erupted instantly, blocking the two attacks comparable to a gold-ranked strike, and roared:

"Who!"

A low and sexy voice rang out on the battlefield:

"He said this is his army's first battle, so you should just stay there obediently and watch!"

A breeze blew by, and Winsardealer appeared in front of everyone.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful elf who suddenly descended on the battlefield, everyone in the "Cultivator City-State" was horrified.

The powerful aura that even faintly suppressed Ivan clearly indicated her level—

Gold rank!

Looking at the only two experts on the battlefield, no one dared to ignore Winsardealer's warning.

Ivan's face changed, and he looked at Winsardealer's almost perfect outline, without any intention of appreciating it.

His heart was filled with anger, and he roared:

"It really is you!

Who exactly are you people?

Why do you want to interfere in the internal affairs of the 'Cultivator City-State'!

Don't you know what the stability of the 'Cultivator City-State' means?

If something really happens, even Her Excellency the Witch can't protect you!"

Ivan's voice boomed, and soon, another playful voice rang out beside Winsardealer:

“Is that so? I'm quite curious to know who dares to interfere even in the territory of the Witch!”

Cohen emerged from the shadows, his gaze calmly fixed on Ivan.

Ivan's heart constricted, Cohen's appearance shocking him greatly.

He hadn't sensed any fluctuations in aura; the other party had appeared so unexpectedly.

Seeing Cohen appear, Wade, who had been fighting on the battlefield, also quickly disengaged and came to Cohen's side, urgently asking:

“What about 'Vegetable Farmer'? How is the Executive Government?”

Cohen smiled faintly:

“Don't worry, your brilliant strategist should be busy plundering the Petrov family's assets right now!”

Upon hearing this, Ivan was shocked, but he quickly composed himself, and sneered:

“Oh? You've even taken my president's Executive Government?

Truly impressive, haha!

I'm afraid you don't even know who's guarding the Executive Government!”

Cohen's lips curled slightly, and the words he spoke chilled Ivan to the bone:

“Tell me, you wouldn't be relying on the 'Musician' from the 'Chaotic Demon Continent' to guard your Executive Government, would you!”

These words were like a thunderclap.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Ivan felt a buzzing in his head, and soon, a surprised female voice came from the void:

“Oh, you guessed it. To accurately discern my identity based solely on that little succubus's verbal description, that's quite interesting!”

The mysterious and elegant Mephis appeared beside the crowd.

Her ninth-order aura directly suppressed the entire scene.

Mephis's appearance not only shocked Ivan.

The “Farmers' Association” members on Wade's side were even more horrified!

Ivan actually had a ninth-order transcendent by his side!

How could they possibly fight this?

In the entire “Lost Land,” apart from the five “Main-level” legendary ranks who occupied the five “Order Oasis.”

Ninth-order was already standing at the pinnacle of transcendence.

“Musician”!

Hearing Cohen's title, several unattainable identities immediately emerged in everyone's minds—

A trusted subordinate of the “Demon Lord” of the Chaotic Demon Continent!

The city lord of the advanced city-state, “Magic Potion City-State”!

Such a figure had silently infiltrated the “Farmer City-State.”

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their hearts filled with cold air.

Ivan quickly looked at Mephis, who didn't bother to hide anything and said in front of everyone:

“He's right, your Executive Government is indeed lost.”

Ivan's heart turned ice-cold, and he couldn't help but roar:

“How is that possible? With the lord there, how could it be lost?”

Mephis sneered:

“There's also a gold-rank with a very big background behind him; it's impossible for me to offend that gold-rank for the sake of your Executive Government.

Even the Demon Lord wouldn't agree!

Moreover, it's your own people who are useless.

Two fifth-order transcendents, one was killed by this kid's lover, um, that squire knight beside him, only fourth-order.

The other… that Rice who you call the strongest, was killed by this kid at the third-order level.

Your own people are so useless; how can you even have the nerve to accuse me of not guarding your Executive Government well?”

Mephis's few words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Everyone was shocked by the astonishing information contained in her words!

They all turned their gazes to that calm, masked young man whose face couldn't be seen clearly.

Third-order killing fifth-order?

If it weren't a ninth-order transcendent saying these words, they would definitely have cursed him for talking nonsense.

On the “Farmers' Association” side, if anyone had previously doubted the idea of joining this self-proclaimed special envoy of the Witch.

After hearing Mephis's words, they no longer had any objections.

Thomas Wade's pupils shrank slightly, and a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

This mysterious man who claimed to be the Witch's special envoy was actually able to kill the fifth-order Rice with third-order strength?

Was he human or ghost?

He knew Rice's combat power; even if he dealt with him personally, it would take some effort to take him down.

And this mysterious special envoy was actually able to kill him directly?

Moreover, the other party was already at the silver rank; wouldn't that mean that even he might not be his opponent?

Thinking of this, Wade couldn't help but reveal a wry smile and a deep sense of frustration.

What chosen one?

This is the chosen one!

And Ivan Petrov on the opposite side was even more frightened.

He didn't doubt Mephis's words at all; a dignified ninth-order wouldn't bother joking about such things.

But the more he thought about it, the more he found it unacceptable.

His face gradually turned pale, his lips trembling, as if he saw his tragic future in Cohen.

Ivan wasn't a fool; on the contrary, he was definitely a smart man, capable of reigning in the “Farmer City-State” for so many years.

Therefore, he understood very well what kind of amazing background and talent a person who could defeat a silver rank at the third-order level possessed.

He was absolutely not someone he was qualified to be an enemy of.

Look at his subordinates—

A general with outstanding commanding skills!

Three thousand soldiers running around five thousand “regular-level” troops!

A squire knight capable of fighting beyond his level!

A gold-rank elven lover!

Two warlocks with extraordinary talents!

And a mysterious gold-rank with a noble identity, whom even the “Musician” was unwilling to provoke!

Each of these represented a shocking background and power.

Ivan felt exhausted.

He really wanted to ask Cohen, you're already so powerful, why did you come to trouble a small, low-level “Order City-State” city lord like me?

With your strength and capital, can't you find a better place to settle down?

Why target our Petrov family's generations-old “Farmer City-State”?

We're all a bunch of poor and unruly farmers here; what's the use of robbing us?

To teach people how to farm?

Cohen naturally couldn't hear Ivan's inner thoughts.

Cohen looked at Ivan's complex and ever-changing face and said:

“The elven lady is right; my army is fighting for the first time; let's wait and see.”

Ivan was both shocked and angry; no matter how wary he was of Cohen, this was still his territory after all.

It was a place that the Petrov family had cultivated for many years; it was absolutely impossible for him to give it up!

He looked at Mephis; this ninth-order transcendent from the “Chaotic Demon Continent” was his last hope!

Cohen suddenly said at this time:

“'Musician,' right? Let's make a deal.

No matter how much food Ivan used to supply you, I can add 30% more on top of his supply!”

These words shocked everyone again.

Ivan was so angry that he laughed:

“Are you kidding me?

Without me, you can't even guarantee the original supply!

Lord, as long as you can help me drive them out of the city-state, I am willing to change my allegiance and join Lord 'Demon Lord'!”

Mephis didn't show any reaction to Ivan's surrender; instead, she stared at Cohen with great interest and asked:

“Really? Just talking isn't enough; you have to provide me with evidence, otherwise, I won't be able to report back.”

Cohen's lips curled slightly, and he transmitted several voices to Mephis.

The expression on Mephis's face was extremely wonderful, and she said after a moment of contemplation:

“Remember your promise; otherwise, even if you get the 'Farmer City-State,' you won't be able to hold it!

If Lord 'Demon Lord' really goes all out, even the 'Lord of Sequence' can't stop him!”

After saying that, the whole person disappeared on the spot, leaving Ivan standing there in a daze.

Despair and fear finally appeared on Ivan's face.

What exactly did Cohen say to Mephis to reach an agreement with the Demon Lord's capable subordinate so quickly?

The situation is over!

Ivan turned his gaze back to the battlefield; that was his only hope.

However, the reality unfolding on the battlefield also inevitably sank his heart to the bottom.

Cohen's Tigerish Army was like a tireless and precise machine.

From the beginning of the battle until now, they had been continuously engaging in rapid interspersed attacks; even a bronze transcendent should have stopped to restore magic power and stamina.

But these three thousand people seemed not to know what fatigue was; their running pace had never stopped.

Despair and frustration gradually spread across the faces of every security army soldier.

Facing a group of beastmen who couldn't be driven back or outrun, they could only watch helplessly as their teammates were divided, surrounded, and gradually eaten away due to exhaustion.

As the encirclement gradually narrowed, the security army was eaten away bit by bit.

Each time an encirclement disappeared, it meant that a large wave of the security army was annihilated, and Ivan's heart twitched accordingly.

Seeing more and more of the security army being annihilated, a chilling and miserable smile crept onto Ivan's face, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body as he charged towards Cohen.

He couldn't just accept his defeat; he had to fight to the death.

As long as he captured Cohen, the leader, there was still room for reversal.

Just as Ivan made his move, the two mages beside him also began chanting spells to assist Ivan.

Cohen watched Ivan's last-ditch effort, gently shaking his head, and said:

"You don't really think that catching me will change the battle, do you? Besides, even if I stood next to you, you couldn't catch me."

As soon as the words fell, Cohen's figure flashed and entered the "Shadow Plane."

Ivan watched helplessly as Cohen disappeared from the spot, his face changing drastically.

Soon, with a low roar, he ignored the two mages beside him and flew straight into the distance.

This person was actually trying to escape!

And the direction of his escape was precisely "Chaos Demon Continent"!

Emerging from the Shadow Plane, Cohen looked surprised, somewhat admiring Ivan's determination to cut his losses.

Even abandoning the territory and subordinates that his family had painstakingly built up, he could be considered a ruthless character.

It's a pity he ran into me.

Cohen said to Winsader beside him:

"I don't want him to leave 'Cultivator City-State' alive, is that a problem?

If you're not confident, should I notify Grace to join you?"

Winsader rolled her eyes at Cohen:

"You could have left out the last sentence.

This kind of cheap goading doesn't work on me!"

Before the words finished, she had already disappeared from the spot, going after Ivan, who was desperately fleeing.

Cohen muttered under his breath, it seems it was still effective.

Under Arnold's superb command and the rebel army's cooperation, the remaining Security Army was quickly and completely wiped out.

Cohen also felt a continuous stream of experience points pouring into his body.

The Tiger Brave Army was still nominally his army, so he could enjoy experience point bonuses after annihilating the enemy.

The only regret was that the Security Army was, after all, only a "Regular Grade" army, with very few transcendents, and none of them were as high level as Cohen, so they could provide very little experience points.

On the battlefield, the smoke had not completely dissipated, like a gray curtain covering everything.

The traces left by various extraordinary powers were tragic and spectacular. Under Cohen's orders, the Security Army was completely annihilated, and the ground was covered with corpses and broken limbs, shocking to the eye.

After the battle, Thomas Wade slowly came to Cohen's side with awe and complex emotions, bowing and saying:

"Sir, we have won. What arrangements do you have for our Farmers' Association next?"

Cohen glanced at the distant city tower and said calmly:

"Have my general take over all the forces and industries of the Cultivation Society and Ivan in the city-state. If you encounter resistance, kill them all directly.

I'll give you five days. After five days, bring your people to the Government Office for a meeting!

I will tell you my next arrangements!"

"Yes!"

… …

The day after the battle, besides Arnold and Margaret clearing out the hostile elements in the city-state, the remaining members of "Endless Blade" gathered together.

At the Government Office, Cohen gave Thomas Wade an order to have someone redecorate and tidy it up within five days, to be used as the base camp for Cohen and others in the future.

Therefore, everyone was still in the villa they had lived in before.

As for the situation of chasing and killing Ivan last night, Winsader, as the princess of the Winged Elf clan and a good friend of the Empress of the Central Empire, naturally received training that Ivan, a local tycoon, could not compare to.

Before long that night, Ivan was caught up and killed by Winsader.

After the great battle, everyone lazily rested in Cohen's room, holding the tea party that they had promised Freya before.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Cohen said to everyone:

"Our 'Endless Blade' can be considered to have its first foothold, and various complicated affairs will follow. Today, I have gathered everyone together mainly to clarify the division of labor among us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Especially Winsader and Grace, who joined the group later, were more concerned about their position in the team.

Cohen said with a smile:

"Well… let's talk about this 'Cultivator City-State' first. I have decided to make Miss Asuna Iliatte the City Lord!

Responsible for handling the daily affairs of the city-state."

Asuna was surprised when she heard this, pointed to herself, and said:

"Ah? Sir, you want me to be the City Lord?

But… but I have never been one before. I have no idea what a City Lord should do."

Asuna was a little overwhelmed by Cohen's sudden decision.

Cohen said with a faint smile:

"It's okay, I'll teach you if you don't know how.

Being an official is the easiest thing in the world.

You only need to always maintain a cold and serious attitude towards your subordinates.

Don't show it if you don't understand anything. When something happens, first let your two Deputy City Lords come up with suggestions and plans.

You only need to make the decision. If something really goes wrong, you can find whoever gave you the idea to take the blame.

Of course, if it's a good thing, then it must be your leadership and understanding, understand?"

Asuna nodded as if she understood.

Cohen encouraged:

"Our territory and power will become larger and larger in the future. You need to get used to it and experience more.

What is a mere city-state? Maybe you will be in charge of a country in the future!

I have confidence in you. Well, from now on, you will be the Administrative Officer of 'Endless Blade'."

[Administrative Officer] — Asuna Iliatte.

Asuna nodded solemnly.

Cohen turned his gaze to Freya on the side and said:

"I'll assign you a secretary, Freya. In addition to your normal warlock homework, you also need to follow Asuna to learn about administrative affairs and do secretarial work. Only in this way can I entrust you with more important tasks in the future.

From now on, you will be the Secretary Officer of 'Endless Blade'."

[Secretary Officer] — Freya Constantine.

Freya pursed her lips tightly, clenched her fists, and said energetically:

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Cohen looked at Nephthys again and said softly:

"Nephthys, you will still be in charge of our financial work in the future. All the industries of 'Endless Blade' in various places, accounts in various countries, credit accounts of major chambers of commerce, including all fixed assets and cash flow, are under your control.

From now on, you will be the Finance Officer of 'Endless Blade'."

[Finance Officer] — Nephthys Robben.

Cohen's gaze turned to Winsader. Before he could speak, the elf lady took the initiative to say:

"What kind of official are you going to get for me?"

Cohen said with a smile:

"How about external liaison and communication?

Asuna used to be in charge of this work, and I am now handing it over to you.

You are responsible for all external communication, liaison, statements, and speeches of our 'Endless Blade', and you are also the external representative and image ambassador of our 'Endless Blade'.

All negotiations, cooperation, and transactions with other forces are fully represented by you!

I believe that with the elven lady's affinity and great charm, our 'Endless Blade' adventurer group will definitely become the most popular team.

Well, from now on, you will be our Diplomat."

[Diplomat] — Winsader Windrunner.

Cohen was right about this. The elven race has always been among the top in terms of friendliness throughout the continent. It is most appropriate for Winsader to be the external business card of "Endless Blade", not to mention that she is also a Gold-ranked transcendent, and her strength is enough to deter some people with ulterior motives.

Winsader raised her beautiful eyebrows and said with a smile:

"So, in the end, I'm just a pretty face, but it's good that you have some vision and know who is the most charming here."

Cohen knew without thinking that this was definitely aimed at Grace.

He turned to look at Grace, who was looking at him with anticipation, and said:

"Your Highness, then you will be our 'Endless Blade' Quartermaster, as we agreed before, responsible for the purchase and supply of equipment, materials, and cultivation supplies for each member, as well as the logistics management of the subordinate army, how about it?"

Grace winked at Cohen:

"Received!

I will work hard!

I will be grateful for the Captain's care in the future!"

[Quartermaster] — Grace Tang.
