Demille's attitude was very resolute.

He stated, "Lin Chen killed people from De Fort and also detained my youngest son. This matter absolutely cannot be left like this! Province Lord, could it be that the Blue Planet people can now ride on our heads?"

"Marquis Demille, watch your words."

Jin Qiang said in a deep voice, "If you insist on going to war with Tianyue City, this Province Lord has never said I would stop you. However, today this Province Lord just received a document from the council, here it is for you to take a look. What you ultimately decide to do is up to you!"

With that, Jin Qiang tossed Demille a document.

"The Tianyue City Blue Planet People Incorporation Resolution?"

Demille immediately looked at the document, and his expression became increasingly ugly. After finishing the document, Demille slammed it on the table with a 'bang'. He said in a muffled voice, "Hmph, the council actually decided to grant Lin Chen the title of Baron, why? He hasn't made any contribution to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!"

"This is the decision of the council. If Marquis Demille is unhappy, then feel free to go to the council. Now, this Province Lord is just telling you that Lin Chen is now also a Baron of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. If De Fort wants to go to war with Tianyue City, the council, this Province Lord, including the major families, have no right to interfere, but this Province Lord must also remind you that we also cannot support you."

Jin Qiang's meaning was to maintain a neutral attitude.

"Hmph, having Province Lord Jin's words is enough. To deal with a bunch of Blue Planet people, De Fort doesn't need anyone's help!"

Demille angrily left the scene.

Subsequently, the others also bid farewell one after another.

After everyone had left, a man came in and said to Jin Qiang, "Province Lord, it seems that the conflict between De Fort and Tianyue City this time is irreconcilable."

"That's good, isn't it a good thing for us to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"

Jin Qiang said in a deep voice, "You've also seen, none of these Marquises and Earls' families are easy to deal with. This time, it might actually be a good opportunity."

"The Great Elder's meaning is that Tianyue City can be used, but they cannot be allowed to rise too much. The Province Lord needs to be careful about grasping the measure. Province Lord can build Tianyue City into a sharp sword to deal with these families, but at the same time, you must also pay attention... if the sharp sword is too sharp, be careful of cutting your own hand."

After the man finished speaking, he also left.

"A sharp sword devouring its master?"

Jin Qiang pondered.

Soon, Jin Qiang made a decision. He went straight out the door and flew into the sky.

The flying steed Pegasus responded to the call and carried Jin Qiang out of Luoye City, and soon arrived at Tianyue City.

At that time, in Tianyue City, some were mining, and some were leveling up.

At this time, Jin Qiang stood in the air, holding an imperial decree, and said loudly: "Lin Chen, City Lord of Tianyue City, come to see this Province Lord!"

His voice shook the heavens and the earth.

When Lin Chen heard the voice, he immediately merged with his three pets, flew into the sky, and stood there, and said loudly: "Lin Chen greets the Province Lord."

"City Lord Lin, congratulations, you are now a Baron of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. This is the official document of appointment. From now on, you and Tianyue City are both members of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. I hope you develop Tianyue City well and do not disappoint this Province Lord's cultivation!" Jin Qiang's voice was like a bell.

His voice was heard throughout almost the entire Tianyue City.

"Lin Chen, thank you, Province Lord."

Lin Chen took the document and a badge from Jin Qiang's hand.

That was the badge representing the Baron of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom.

At this time, Jin Qiang said loudly again: "According to the Imperial Convention, all those with Imperial titles are granted territories. City Lord Lin's territory is Tianyue City. At the same time, Baron City Lords must send three hundred people to the Imperial battlefield. But because Tianyue City has just joined the Empire, you are specially allowed to train for three months before sending troops. In addition, all residents of Tianyue City will be citizens of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom from now on. There will be no distinction between the Dragon Spirit Kingdom people and the Blue Planet people. Both sides must allow intermarriage. City Lord Lin, do you have any objections?"

Open up intermarriage.

In addition, they had to send troops to support the battlefield?

"Province Lord, where is this battlefield?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

Jin Qiang explained: "The location of the Imperial battlefield is uncertain. It may be the former Dragon Spirit Kingdom home planet, or it may be the Ice Kingdom home planet... In short, they are all some depleted planets. And the result of the battle will affect the borders of the countries in the Blue Star Realm, as well as the allocation of resources. If you make military exploits in battle, City Lord Lin can also receive rewards."

The Dragon Spirit Kingdom also has a home planet?

And the Ice Kingdom too...

Moreover, Jin Qiang also said that those places selected as battlefields were all planets with depleted resources.

Doesn't that perfectly explain why the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, the Ice Kingdom, and many other countries, wanted to invade Blue Star?

So, their home planets were all depleted of resources!

Sure enough, they were all a gang of robbers and bandits.

Would they go to plunder the next planet after Blue Star's resources were exhausted?

Wait...

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something wrong.

If Blue Star had abundant resources, then why did they expand Blue Star hundreds of times after the invasion?

That itself consumed a great deal of resources!

There must be some reason or secret hidden in this that Lin Chen didn't know.

Lin Chen didn't think too much.

Because, besides explaining the Imperial battlefield, Jin Qiang also told Lin Chen something else...

He actually wanted Tianyue City to open up intermarriage.

To let the Blue Star people marry the Dragon Spirit Kingdom people.

What did this mean?

Lin Chen wasn't worried about anything like reproductive isolation. After all, now that the game had descended into reality, Dragon Spirit Kingdom people like Jin Qiang were also living people, so there shouldn't be any problems in this regard.

However, Lin Chen always felt something was wrong.

Wasn't intermarriage always a free thing?

Jin Qiang's special explanation sounded a bit like protesting too much.

But Lin Chen didn't seem to have any other choice, he said in a deep voice: "Understood, Province Lord, Lin Chen has no objections! However, regarding the matter of intermarriage, Lin Chen can only guarantee that he will not stop it, but we Blue Star people have always valued freedom of marriage."

"That will be fine." Jin Qiang was very satisfied with Lin Chen's response. He nodded, then turned and left.

As for the conflict between Tianyue City and De Fort, Jin Qiang did not mention a single word from beginning to end.

This also made Lin Chen very puzzled.

However, Lin Chen soon heard the news...

When Lin Chen returned to the City Lord's Mansion with the Baron badge, Zhang Chunlin rushed over and said, "Boss, take a look at this..."

In his hand, he held a letter.

Turning the envelope over, two words were clearly written: Letter of Challenge!

"The letter of challenge from De Fort? Hehe, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom people are quite interesting... What did they say inside?" Lin Chen asked.

Zhang Chunlin tore open the envelope and said, "De Fort wants us to release Dela immediately, and said they will give Tianyue City a fair showdown."

"Fair... Do you believe it?"

Lin Chen obviously had his own views. He laughed and said, "This battle was never going to be fair. We would be fools to release Dela. The reason we kept Dela alive before was to avoid war and make De Fort have some scruples. Now it seems that De Fort doesn't seem to care much about Dela's life and death... Chunlin, you go back and reply immediately, saying that if De Fort wants to attack Tianyue City, Tianyue City will definitely resist desperately! And, we will kill Dela first to offer as a sacrifice!"

"That's right, that's how it should be, we won't indulge them!"

Zhang Chunlin also agreed with Lin Chen's opinion.

He went to reply immediately.

At the same time, Lin Chen also posted a notice in the city, announcing this matter.

Lin Chen's original intention was to remind everyone, to encourage everyone, to work harder to survive, but Lin Chen still underestimated human nature... Although most people did work harder to mine and level up, some bad rumors also began to spread within the Blue Planet people.

Soul Number One Mountain Range.

Inside the mine.

At this time, a group of people were working hard mining. At this time, a new group of people walked in with constant discussions.

"This time, when De Fort attacks, do you think we can withstand it?"

"Don't think too much, most of us haven't even reached level eighty, what are we going to use to resist!"

"Yeah, at this time, we should admit defeat."

"City Lord... Bah! Lin Chen doesn't seem like someone who would admit defeat. And Zhang Chunlin, that guy is even more hateful, hmph! Do you guys still remember Ye Tenglong? Young Master Ye, he used to argue with Lin Chen a few times in the group, and as a result, Zhang Chunlin directly threw him out of the car and let the monsters eat him!"

"To be honest, I also think that as the City Lord, at this time, he should prioritize everyone's life and death... He was tough, he showed off his power and slaughtered wantonly outside the city that night, satisfying his addiction, but what about now? Once De Fort kills over, won't we be reduced to cannon fodder?"

"I thought that even if we weren't classmates before, we were alumni. Now that he is the City Lord, we would be able to get some benefits!"

"Benefits? Hehe... all the benefits were taken by Zhang Chunlin. Oh, it's not like no classmates got any benefits. Jiang Youyou, she directly latched onto Zhang Chunlin, and her sister is also living a very comfortable life now!"

"Hmph, anyway, when the war starts, we won't go and be cannon fodder."

"..."

If Lin Chen was here, he would definitely recognize many familiar faces.

Among them, there were even a few of Lin Chen's classmates.

Yes.

It was Zhang Chunlin and Lin Chen who rescued them from the school.

But now, these people looked very dissatisfied when they talked about Lin Chen and Zhang Chunlin.

Why?

As the saying goes, a pint of rice is kindness, a gallon of rice is hatred.

Perhaps because of this, after arriving in Tianyue City, the treatment they received was almost no different from everyone else. Instead, their former classmates had now become the City Lord and Deputy City Lord...

Many people felt a great sense of loss.

They even felt a little unbalanced.

Selfish people often don't look for reasons in themselves.

What's more, there were still people deliberately provoking them.

Among them, Liu Hai and Wang Shangfang were constantly exhausting the saliva in their mouths, and the two of them were the most talkative.

They were even constantly exchanging glances, giving off a feeling of singing in harmony.
