People are in Locke Kingdom, and they start to travel through the Man in Black?

"Forget it, forget it. I'll do as you said. I'll make General Zhenxi Lin Mo the King of Zhenbei and Enzo the Grand General. I'll order them to guard the border... and the rest of the people will receive their own rewards."

Lan Xianyun waved his hand helplessly and left the hall.

"Your Majesty is wise."

All the ministers shouted "Long live the emperor", and then the young eunuch came out and announced the end of the court meeting.

More than ten days passed quickly, and Lin Mo and others had received the imperial edict, but it did not mention anything about asking them to go back.

Lin Mo was not in a hurry to return to the capital, he just didn't want to go back. Now the territories previously occupied by the Fire Nation have not been completely recovered, and the area ruled by the Steam Giant has become a mess.

Now he wants to take advantage of the fact that those people are busy with their own business and take over this land to make his fortune!

By then, he will own the entire Steam City and one-third of the Water Kingdom, and will become a rising star in the magic continent.

"Hey, what are you thinking about here?"

Enzo teased as he entered the room.

"Oh, it's the teacher. Please take a seat."

Enzo sat down, took a sip of water and said, "How is it? Now the Lan family kid has named you the King of Zhenbei and me the general. Although the general nominally commands the troops of the whole country, I don't have a single soldier under my command now."

Lin Mo understood the implication of Enzo's words very clearly, which showed that the little brat Lan Xianyun didn't want to give them power at all. Even if he saved the Water Kingdom from the dire straits, he did not belong to the Magic Continent after all. In their eyes, he was a complete outsider.

"Humph, so what if he doesn't give it to me? When we settle down, he will have to give it to me even if he doesn't want to. If he wants to give it to me, he has to see if I am happy or not."

As he spoke, Lin Mo pointed to an area on the map.

"This is Steam City. Their leader, Steam Giant, was killed by me in the last war. Now the city is in disarray. Even if the power in our hands is not sufficient, it is more than enough to take over such a lawless place."

Enzo took a look at the location of Steam City. This piece of land was about one-third of the area of ​​Water Kingdom, so it was not a small place.

Moreover, according to the intelligence gathered during this period, this land has been well governed by the Steam Giant, and its population is almost catching up with that of the Water Kingdom. If they can take over this place, they will truly have a place to live.

"This place is pretty good. There are rebellions going on in Steam City right now. That little city lord can't control his people at all. Such a big country has been split into three independent kingdoms."

"And the three kingdoms have respectively surrendered to three empires. The kingdom that borders our territory is the kingdom of the Friendly Water Country."

"This place has a large population and abundant resources, and it is adjacent to three empires. It will be easy to take it no matter which empire sends troops."

"Although this is a place that has been fought many times, that is only for the weak. Now we are already standing at the top of this continent, so this land will be the place where our dragon rises!"

Although they are extremely powerful, it is unrealistic to rely on such a small number of people to govern the entire continent. They also need to develop their own power among the indigenous people and build the magical continent into an iron bucket in order to exert their greatest strength.

Only with a stable rear can they fight back to the continent of Icathia without any worries. Only in this way can they seek revenge on the damn Dawnbreaker Kairiel!

"Haha, even though I am weak now, it is still easy for me to deal with such a small kingdom. If necessary, I can lead people to conquer these three small countries now!"

"So what if they have the backing of the Fire Nation and the Wood Nation? I will slay the enemy and create a bright future for our future!"

Enzo took on the task of taking down the Steam City single-handedly. This was the style he should have. If he couldn't take down a small Steam City with a magic weapon and many high-level magicians, then he shouldn't call himself a genius magician.

The five thousand soldiers who participated in the defense of Ruoshui Pass and survived joined Lin Mo's army consciously. It was their honor to have such a powerful prince to follow.

Moreover, Lin Mo turned the tide in the war and has long been regarded as the god of war and savior in the hearts of the people of the entire Water Kingdom. Now almost every household hangs a portrait of Lin Mo wearing a black magician's cloak.

This shows how much benefit this battle brings to Lin Mo.

After Enzo left, Lina and Claire came in.

"You are here, but now I should call you princess."

Lin Mo looked at the two with smiles on their faces, especially Claire. Ever since she followed him all over the country, he had not been able to give her a real home for so many years. Now that he had a great opportunity, how could he not let the world know that Claire was the one who accompanied him all the way?

"I hate it so much. I never said I would be your princess."

A thick glow had already appeared on Claire's pretty face, and her body was gradually heating up.

It was obvious that she was blushing.

Lin Mo said jokingly: "Hahaha, this is what you said. Since you don't want to, then I won't marry you."

Now it was Claire's turn to be unwilling. She sat next to Lin Mo, buried her pretty face in Lin Mo's arms, and kept muttering, "Bad guy, you are such a bad guy, don't you want to take responsibility? I have followed you all over the country for so many years, and I don't even have a name? It turns out that all men are pigs!"

Claire pretended to be angry and kept hitting Lin Mo's shoulders with her pink little fists.

"Hahaha, alright, alright, I was just joking. Don't worry, when have I ever made you unhappy? I will get you whatever husband you want."

After the three of them spent a few moments together, Claire and Lina reported the specific situation in the fiefdom.

After listening to the report, Lin Mo frowned. This fiefdom was not bad at all, but it was really rubbish to the extreme.

Although it occupies one-third of the territory of the entire Water Kingdom, its population only accounts for one-fifth! Counting all the elderly and children, the total population is less than five million.

Moreover, the environment is harsh and the land is severely abandoned. It is said to be a water country, but half of this land is uninhabited desert.

No wonder the neighboring countries are unwilling to attack the Water Country. Isn’t this natural desert the best protective belt?

What's worse is that among the five million people, four million are elderly, women and minors, and there are only one million adult men, so the labor force is somewhat limited.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that it is not easy to take care of this land."

"Yes, my husband, I think the little emperor has bad intentions and is probably going to make trouble for us."

Lin Mo chuckled. This piece of land might be useless in the eyes of others, but in the hands of a powerful magician like him, as long as he was willing to put in some effort, he could still make it better.

"It seems that after just a few days of rest, I have to get busy again."
