Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

At the same time, in the Yaojin Lingxi Palace of the Inastan Royal Palace, King Charles looked at the images of Oriental Town transmitted from the crystal ball with an almost crazy excitement.

"...Xi Yao..." Charles muttered to himself crazily.

"Uh... Your Majesty... You seem to be in a bad mental state today... Do you want to... find a doctor..." Jiaolong, the commander of the Inastan National Defense Force, said fearfully while kneeling on one knee under the throne.

"No need, I'm in good spirits... Xiyao, please join Inastan soon..." Charles waved his hand, but his expression was still one of crazy excitement.

"Hiss..." Seeing this, the dragon took a breath of cold air, then held his forehead and shook his head.

The commander-in-chief of the Inastan Kingdom's National Defense Force, Jiaolong, was selected and trained by Charles, the prince of the Inastan royal family at the age of 14, which was the end of the Moon Goddess Era. He then climbed up step by step to the position of commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force.

This year, Jiaolong is already 48 years old, and he has also experienced the two great eras of the Moon God and the Evil God, as well as wars of all sizes... It can be said that he is experienced and mature. No matter what happens, he will not panic and will respond calmly...

However, when the dragon saw King Charles like this, he felt panic, fear, and helplessness...

"It's over...our king seems to be going crazy..." Outside the palace, a royal guard whispered tremblingly to another royal guard.

……

In the Oriental Town Square——

When Xi Yao heard this, he just frowned and remained silent.

Seeing Xi Yao was silent for more than ten seconds, Qilin gritted his teeth, crossed his arms over his chest, turned around and looked at Leng Dao on the bench.

"I say, why are you sitting here all the time with your hands in your pockets and your head down? Are you socially anxious? Are you autistic? How on earth did you become the chief diplomat?" Qilin said through gritting his teeth.

Hearing this, Leng Dao on the bench chuckled, then stood up and patted himself as if there was dust on him.

Then Leng Dao slowly walked towards Xi Yao. When he reached in front of the latter, Leng Dao stretched out his left hand and gently placed it on Xi Yao's right shoulder.

"It will do you no harm to be affiliated with us." Leng Dao said in a magnetic and oppressive voice. Then Leng Dao retracted his left hand and slowly circled around Xi Yao.

"What does this mean? Are you kidding?" Qilin was a little puzzled by Leng Dao's behavior and said with a frown.

"Leng Dao's diplomatic style is very special. He uses a sense of oppression to make the other party afraid, thus making the other party forget their own diplomatic bottom line and thus achieving our diplomatic goals." Bai Hu said.

"No, can this really achieve a win-win situation? If the other party is really intimidated by Leng Dao, won't he be at the mercy of others?"

"Leng Dao knows his limits."

"This kid..." Qilin said through gritting his teeth.

While Qilin and Baihu were talking, Leng Dao had already circled Xiyao one and a half circles... Xiyao, who was the center of the circle, kept looking at Leng Dao with some confusion, trying to see this guy's face clearly.

But the "hoodie" that Leng Dao was wearing seemed very special. His face was just pitch black, and when the sunlight shone on his face, it seemed to be absorbed...

"Submit yourself to us and the king will give you the rank of colonel." Leng Dao said as he circled around Xi Yao.

"Colonel? The king said that?" Before Xi Yao could be shocked, Qilin was shocked first.

"Last time the king said he would give him the rank of colonel... this time it was directly... Alas..." Baihu held his forehead and sighed. He knew that if it weren't for the limited number of military ranks above colonel, King Charles would probably want to give Xi Yao the rank of major general.

"If you become a vassal of us, the king will give you resources and money, and help you build your Dongfang Town. And the king guarantees that in just one month, your Dongfang Town can be renamed Dongfang City." Leng Dao said, and suddenly stopped circling and stood behind Xi Yao.

After Leng Dao finished speaking, he placed both hands on Xi Yao's shoulders and rubbed them.

Qilin held his forehead and said, "It's a bit...eye-irritating..."

White Fox: "This is also the first time I've seen Leng Dao like this... Well, it seems that it makes sense for this guy to become the chief diplomat..."

Xi Yao didn't say a word from the beginning. He just crossed his arms across his chest, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Leng Dao was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Xi Yao still didn't move, but soon he continued to the next round of pressure - Leng Dao's body suddenly became ethereal, as if he was invisible.

"Huh?" Xi Yao frowned when he saw Leng Dao suddenly disappear and looked around him, but he did not see that figure.

Suddenly, Xi Yao felt his right shoulder being patted lightly. He was stunned at first, then he reacted: So the tactical profession of this guy code-named Leng Dao is a thief?

In other words, this guy is currently in stealth mode, and he is putting pressure on him while in stealth mode... But Xi Yao has experienced so much after all, and he can withstand such pressure.

"The king said that after you and Dongfang Zhen join Inastan, if you can be promoted to admiral within five years, he will marry you the apple of the king's eye - the wise, elegant and beautiful Second Princess." Leng Dao said, reaching out and patting Xi Yao's arm.

Then Leng Dao circled around Xi Yao slowly while continuing, "There is one more thing... The only prince in our royal family... gave up his royal status and ran away from home on his 18th birthday... This means there is no heir to the throne yet.

If you are willing to be affiliated with us and do something that is of great benefit to Inastan..."

After saying that, Leng Dao suddenly paused for a few seconds, and then said: "The king...maybe...will consider passing the throne to you?"

Qilin: Huh? ? ? ? ?

White Fox: Alas...

However, in the face of these temptations, Xi Yao still stood there like a statue.

Seeing that Xi Yao still had no reaction, Leng Dao sighed, and after he came out of stealth mode, he looked at Xi Yao: "You are really ambitious... All these benefits can't satisfy you..."

After saying that, Leng Dao suddenly took out a golden dagger from the tactical weapon slot on his waist, and then put it in front of Xi Yao's neck!

...The whole place was silent—

The residents of Dongfang Town who were watching the excitement near Dongfang Square saw Leng Dao draw his weapons and ran away in fear!

"Leng Dao! What are you doing?" Qilin shouted with gritted teeth, and then was about to grasp the giant sword Ye Guang behind him in his hand, but Baihu stopped him.

"Calm down, Leng Dao has done nothing wrong! This weapon is just something Leng Dao uses for fun. It's part of the pressure plan!" The white fox whispered to Qilin.

Xi Yao saw a dagger pointed at his neck. He would be lying if he said he was not shocked. He immediately took a step back and was about to grasp the Broken Ark behind him, but he quickly withdrew his hand.

After all, this golden dagger is just a weapon from the early Terran Era, which means this is just a trick of Leng Dao...

Xiyao fell into the trap

"...Oh, it seems you couldn't withstand my final pressure..." Leng Dao put the golden dagger back into the tactical weapon slot on his waist, spread out his hands and said, then shook his head.

"Never mind. I'm too lazy to play with you anymore. Just tell me if you're willing to be affiliated with us."

At this time, Qilin walked towards Leng Dao: "Your final pressure is really hard to bear... Even I want to draw my sword..."

"I didn't think highly of you. You became the commander of the Holy Imperial Army solely by force, so you didn't have to come here to say it." Leng Dao said to Qilin without turning his head.

Qilin: “You!”

Baihu held his forehead and said, "Okay, Leng Dao, don't put pressure on me like this next time... It will be difficult to deal with if something goes wrong someday..."

"I have my measure."

The white fox shook his head and looked at Xi Yao: "Well, I'll ask you one last time. What do you think about becoming a vassal of our Inastan?"
