All the contract girls want to marry me

They are really scared.

Will making a deal with the devil really end well?

This problem not only troubled them, but also troubled Zalandin.

After seeing the spreading fire, Zalandin was dumbfounded.

Now it is no longer a question of whether to break through, but now a question of how long he can survive.

He gave up the breakout the moment the fire started.

He has the courage to face any enemy, except the devil from hell.

Whatever Matthew’s reasons were, setting a fire on the prairie in winter was outrageous.

Zalandin looked at the flames soaring into the sky in confusion, and his brain short-circuited for an instant.

His eyes were dull, and he stepped back step by step, without any trace of the heroic appearance of the Lord of the Grassland.

But no one laughed at him, because everyone else was also confused.

Everyone is thinking about one thing, what exactly is Matthew going to do!

Not only could they not figure it out, but also many of the soldiers under Matthew's command could not figure it out.

They couldn't believe that the order given to them by their superiors was to set fire to the grassland.Many junior officers refused to carry out orders.

But these people are only a minority.

The officers who blatantly disobeyed orders were executed on the spot, while other soldiers cooperated with the magic corps to continuously expand the fire.

Debray, who was directing operations on the front line, looked up to the sky and sighed, with tears streaming down his face.

From now on, the spirit of chivalry has long gone away from him, and he will never be able to go back to the past.

Even if he is still a knight, he is still a dark knight, a hell knight!

His hands were shaking.

The only thing that gave him some comfort was that Matthew had made adequate preparations to prevent the fire from spreading.

As early as a few days ago, Matthew's army had deployed a large number of fire breaks on the outside to ensure that the fire would not spread excessively.

Matthew lit the fire just to get the Holy Land army to come as soon as possible, and it wasn't really to cause anger.

This is a world where gods exist, and he also has to consider the power of divine punishment.

Matthew controlled the fire to an area of ​​thirty square kilometers.

Although this range is a bit exaggerated, it is not small.

Sure enough, as Matthew expected, not long after he lit the fire, the Huoxun Khanate army launched an attack on the Royal Army's camp under the pressure of the golden robe shaman of the Holy Land.

At the same time, troops on various fronts are also constantly mobilized.

......

In a hilly area of ​​tall grass 120 kilometers away from the main battlefield, the Imperial Army was fighting a fierce battle with the Holy Land Army.

When the 3000-strong army led by Wendy arrived here, only [-] people were left.

Along the way, they faced enemies such as the ubiquitous prairie rangers, passing nomads, and even half-grown children riding ponies hiding under the tall grass.

When the empire was strong, it had carried out reverse raids on the grasslands more than once. The methods were more ruthless than those of the grassland people.

This kind of redoubled revenge greatly boosted the morale of the country, but it also made the grassland people hate it.

When they heard that the imperial army was coming, everyone from the south, the north, and the local nomadic tribes joined the battle.

This also made Wendy's march very bumpy.

On the day they agreed to meet up with Matthew, he was actually hundreds of kilometers away.

Fortunately, the situation on Matthew's side was stable, otherwise such a large deviation would have been broken one by one.

Wendy's had to speed up its advance.

He sent twice as many roving sentries and outer patrol cavalry, and finally kept the harassing nomads out.

When he was so close that he was still thirty kilometers away from the main battlefield, the troops were exhausted and had to stop to rest.

Fortunately, the latest intelligence from Matthew showed that the battlefield situation was not serious and he still had time to rest.

Wendy plans to rest for three days and then go into the final battle with full energy.

It was December 1208, 12 in the Holy Calendar, a slightly cold winter night.

Wendy came to the hill near the camp gate alone, looked at the night sky in the distance silently, and fell into deep thought.

He silently thought, what is Matthew doing at this moment?What is the enemy doing?

The last time the empire and the Kingdom of Perth clashed, without Matthew's efforts to turn the tide, the empire would permanently lose the southwest Groningen province and some surrounding territories.

For an empire like Clare, which started off by expansion, losing territory was a very serious matter.

Once expansion stops, it means the empire begins to decline.

Although Groningen was once a territory of the Kingdom of Perth, they also took it from others. The people in this territory did not have a strong sense of belonging to the empire, but after all, it was a legal territory obtained by the empire through treaties.

The loss of legal territory would be a huge blow to the Clare Empire, and would even lead to the ruling legitimacy of the imperial royal family, the Himilon family, being questioned.

The empire used to expand its territory before, but when it came to the Himilun family, it began to lose power and humiliate the country. Is this okay?

No matter how many allies they had, if they lost an entire province, they would have to abdicate in favor of someone more powerful.

Just when the family was at a loss, Matthew appeared and wiped out the Kingdom of Perth, nominally returning the province of Groningen to the empire's territory.

Although Matthew actually has the final say there, at least some taxes will be paid to the empire, and the people of the empire do not need to apply for a passport or visa to go to Groningen.

Even if it is one country, two systems, it is better than losing it directly.

Not only that, Matthew also promised to always support the Himilun family.

It's not a loss at all to exchange a province for Matthew's permanent support.

Wendy was stationed in the Kingdom of Phoenix for two years as a royal representative, during which she participated in two of Matthew's military operations and also attended Matthew's wedding.

In the past two years, Wendy has gained a new understanding of Matthew's true strength.

In his opinion, if Matthew hadn't made a promise, the Himilun family would have been unable to hold on to the imperial throne sooner or later.

He met with his father as soon as possible after returning to China, stated his interests and demands, and asked his father to stand firmly with Matthew.

Miracles represent the birth of a new empire, but they do not mean that the old empire must perish.

The second empire, Shalan, rose, and the first empire, Titas, only gave up its position as the continent's most powerful country and did not perish.

The rise of the Clare Empire was nothing more than the rise of the three kingdoms, and the first two empires did not perish.

Judging from Matthew's strategic layout, Matthew has no intention of plotting the Clare Empire to the north. His expansion direction is the Sauron Islands offshore in the east, the demi-human territory in the south and the vast grasslands in the west.

The Sauron Islands overseas are extremely wealthy, with a large population of demihumans in the south and a vast prairie in the west.

If these regions can be unified, a vast and populous super empire will be born.Not only was its area larger than the previous three empires combined, but its population was not far behind.

The biggest problem is that the ethnic composition in these places is not complicated, but separated.

Who dares to imagine combining agricultural civilization, nomadic civilization, subhuman civilization, primitive civilization and commercial civilization?

Who dares to hope to bring together humans, lizardmen, werewolves, elves, trolls, elementals, goblins and other races?

If someone else had come up with the idea, Wendy would have punched him awake.

But since Matthew said it, Wendy had to consider the possibility of it coming true.

Matthew has done so many miracles.

Having said that, in the Age of Giants, the entire continent was once a complete empire, the Titan Empire.

Although Matthew's goal is huge, it is nothing compared to the former Titan Empire.

But Wendy didn't know that he thought this was Matthew's long-term goal, but in fact it was just Matthew's bottom line.

Matthew needs to integrate the resources of the entire plane to have a chance to protect the entire plane from the disaster of mass extinction.

In this world, others play role-playing games, while he plays business simulations.

If someone is willing to cooperate, then everything is easy to discuss.

The Deep Sea Relics wanted to cooperate with Matthew, and their request was to obtain the relics of Poseidon Temple.

No one else would have agreed to such conditions, or at least would have made harsh demands, but Matthew readily agreed.

Because he doesn't care about the strength of the Deep Sea Relics, he even likes to hear about it.

As long as it's on your side, the stronger, the better.

Poseidon is not dead yet. Matthew, a person who has nothing to do with Poseidon, has taken away all the things from his temple. It will be so embarrassing when Poseidon wakes up and meets him.

Matthew knew exactly what he was doing, but others didn't.

The monarchs and leaders of the entire world could not understand what Matthew was doing.

Wendy couldn't understand either.

But it doesn't matter.

Although she can't understand it, Wendy believes in one thing. If the Himilun family wants to be prosperous, they must stand by Matthew.

It is enough to know this.

This is also the reason why Wendy went against all opinions and personally led an army of [-] people to go into battle.

If you don't come to send charcoal in the snow, who are you to make the icing on the cake?

Now is the time when Matthew needs help the most. At this time, sending out a hundred thousand troops, even if they are all sent to the vast grassland, as long as they win Matthew's gratitude is enough.

If all the soldiers are dead, they can still be recruited, but if the opportunity to hug someone is missed, where can they be found?

Wendy not only asked for an army of [-], but also personally served as the commander, in order to personally supervise the battle to prevent the frontline generals from being idle.

He was even prepared to be buried with him.

He knew Matthew too well.

If he died in the grassland, Matthew would definitely feel guilty and would definitely protect the Himilun family.

Looking at the deep dark night in the distance, a smile appeared on Wendy's lips.

In fact, he was not optimistic about Matthew's action. In his opinion, Matthew was still anxious.

He believed that Matthew could win in a conventional war, but what about a battle between strong men?

Although Saudin, the demigod-level strongman in the Holy Land, has never taken action against a super strong person, it does not mean that he will always maintain his strong demeanor.

If Matthew destroyed the foundation of the Holy Land, would he still be able to sit there?

Wendy thought silently that Matthew was so successful, maybe a failure would make him more mature.

Wendy just hoped that this failure would not break her bones.

He was not born a defeatist strategist, but he just had an ominous feeling in his heart.

After marching into the grassland for a month, they found no trace of the Holy Land Warriors.

These one hundred thousand elites were like ghost wolves hiding in the grasslands, staring at them with bloodthirsty eyes.

Wendy sighed softly and prepared to return to camp.

No matter what, the entire army must set out to join Matthew tomorrow.

No matter how well this ghost wolf hides, there will always be a moment when it shows its fangs.

He must rush to support Matthew before that moment arrives.

If he can successfully rescue Matthew, his visit to the grassland will be a success.

The moment Wendy turned around, his body suddenly froze.

He heard the earth tremble slightly.

The sound didn't sound like horse hooves, but like a pack of wolves!

He turned around suddenly, and countless green eyes appeared on the late night horizon.

It was indeed a pack of wolves, and they were prairie gray wolves raised by the Holy Land Warriors.

This gray wolf is huge, has strong stamina, is agile, and is very aggressive.
