“Are you Nemesis?”

At the forefront of the Falling Moon Town army, Count Philip tightened the reins of his steed and looked up at Su Yu who stood on the city wall. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

At the same time, he waved his hand backward, signaling the army to halt temporarily.

Obeying the instruction of their highest commander, the large force behind him stopped. Under the direction of various officers, they adjusted their formation, preparing for a siege.

Su Yu leaped down from the wall over eight meters high, using his Flash Skill to land softly. He slowly approached Count Philip. “That’s right, I am Nemesis. And what conditions would the Count like to set?”

“Nemesis,” raised his whip and pointed at Su Yu arrogantly, “I heard that you plan to develop a deep-water port along the northeastern coast of Aphi City. Is that true?”

“Yes, and the development of the deep-water port is already underway. Is there a problem?”

A coastal city must have a high-quality deep-water port for maritime trade.

Moreover, in the next update, Orleans City and the Wind Chime Empire’s Demacia State will be opening a ‘Golden Route’. A perfect opportunity for investment.

So, Su Yu has already started planning and laying out his strategy in advance.

“Since you admit this, here comes my condition,” Count Philip smirkingly addressed him,

“My condition is: halt the development of the deep-water port in your territory. In addition, you’ll sign a magic contract with me, pledging that your territory will never engage in maritime trade. The moment you sign the contract, my forces will retreat immediately!”

“Huff, by whose authority?” Su Yu laughed.

He chose his territory by the sea specifically to profit from maritime trade. Now they expect him to renounce maritime trade forever? Isn’t that a mere daydream?

“By the authority of the mighty army and the livelihood of eight thousand dock workers of Falling Moon Town!” Count Philip responded righteous and unyielding,

“More than 90% of Orleans City’s maritime trade passes through Falling Moon Town. This also constitutes the livelihood of countless residents. Now, you are developing a new port, which will certainly take away a portion of Falling Moon Town’s maritime trade. How many dock workers will lose their jobs as a result? How many residents will be left starving, homeless, and displaced? Have you thought about these issues?”

Upon hearing Count Philip’s words, his soldiers began looking at him with newfound respect.

Soldiers originally had a poor image of the Count due to his oppressive rule.

But seeing him now, considering the livelihood of thousands of dock workers, was touching to all the soldiers around.

“The Count is right. My uncle works at the docks, and he has three children. If he loses his job, what will happen to his family?”

“The affluence of Falling Moon Town comes from its reliance on sea transportation. How can we let others take a piece of the pie?”

“Right! For the sake of Falling Moon Town, we can’t let the new port grow and prosper!”

“For Falling Moon Town!”

The soldiers shouted out slogans, boosting morale among the troops.

Moreover, Count Philip’s performance was not over yet. He stared coldly at Tina, floating in mid-air, and said,

“Tina Garcia, your Unicorn Knights have no right to participate in the dispute between lords. I advise you to leave now, otherwise I will report your actions to the highest military court in Orleans City!”

“Are you telling me what to do?” Tina unsheathed her sword in fury.

She had learned this phrase from Nemesis and it felt like the opportune moment to use it.

Just then, a faint voice echoed from the walls of Aphi city, “I am Kilofucha Francis. Your Excellency Tina, we indeed do not have the right to participate in the dispute between lords.

“My apologies, Your Excellency Nemesis. I and my 300 guards from the city lord’s manor will not participate in this conflict.”

After Kilofucha Francis finished speaking, he waved his hand and over three hundred elite soldiers exited the city wall. A large gap immediately appeared on the Aphi City wall.

Seeing this scene, the morale of the soldiers of Falling Moon Town skyrocketed. Many soldiers became eager to charge and take over the city.

The intimidating demeanor of Count Philip, the strong army of Falling Moon Town, the majestic figure of Tina in mid-air, the betrayal of Kilofucha Francis

All these scenes were transmitted to numerous live streaming platforms through the cameras of multiple hosts atop the city wall.

The most popular online platforms were all about this city defense war.

And since this is the last and most challenging city defense battle, it attracted a huge crowd.

Various live streams were filled with discussions as everyone posted their views,

“No wonder the Lord of Falling Moon Town came to attack. It turns out that Boss Ke took their cake.”

“Can’t deny, that Razor Count knows how to rally people’s hearts. His troop’s morale is high.”

“Kilofucha Francis suddenly turned on Boss Ke, it’s dangerous for him now!”

“Come on, Boss Ke! Don’t fall behind at the last hurdle.”

“Go, Boss Ke!”

.

Su Yu was well aware that the whole network was currently paying attention to this city defense battle.

As for Kilofucha Francis’s sudden betrayal, Su Yu was not surprised.

After all, Francis was one of the city lord’s guards and Su Yu had severely offended lord Claude. If Francis didn’t stir something up at this crucial moment, that’d be a real surprise!

Out of respect, Su Yu still loudly, “Mr. Francis, I do not mind your non-participation in this conflict. I appreciate your help in defending against the previous bandit attacks.”

Then, he turns to Count Philip, “As for Your highness, the Count here. To my knowledge, life is very tough for the dockworkers of Falling Moon Town. They have to work long hours for very little pay. You profiteer at their cost and, now, you suddenly stand up for them?

If you are really concerned about the unemployment of these dock workers, here’s a solution. You can let these dock workers come to my territory. I will give each family a settling fee of 50,000 spiritual energy coins. Furthermore, I guarantee them jobs with a salary at least 1.5 times the one they get in Falling Moon Town. Is that satisfactory enough for you?”

The moment Su Yu stopped speaking, there were gasps of amazement from within the army of Falling Moon Town.

The morale of the soldiers, which had just gathered, began waning drastically. They eagerly started discussing amongst themselves.

“50,000 spiritual energy coins? Did I hear that right?”

“Dockworkers generally earn around 400-600 spiritual energy coins a month. 50,000 spiritual energy coins are equivalent to their income of seven or eight years!”

“The settlement fee is too high! I regret not being a dockworker.”

“Is this Su Yu fellow just saying that to trick us?”

Hearing the doubts these soldiers had, Su Yu immediately assured them loudly, “I can guarantee, with my identity as ‘Princess’s Special Envoy’, that there are no false promises!”

With this, he displayed the golden token given by the Princess and held it up high for all soldiers from Falling Moon Town to see.
