436: Wherever the lord points, it must be where Nova's troops are heading.

The next morning.

Shi Lei only left fifty Golden Experts and ten thousand Silver Evolution individuals in Fulang City; the rest of his subordinates were taken into his Blessed Land.

Then, he and An Qian rode the Golden Winged Thunder Roc and flew out of the city.

Under the Golden Winged Thunder Roc's full-speed flight, they reached Saint Vincent, another city controlled by Steve, in less than ten minutes.

As soon as they arrived above Saint Vincent, they were discovered by the guards on the city wall.

However, no alarm sounded.

And when they landed on the city wall, the city wall guards respectfully greeted them, "Greetings, Qin An King!"

Shi Lei, not one to strike a smiling face, asked for directions and flew directly towards the city Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he landed at the gate of the city Lord's Mansion, he again heard the guards respectfully greeting, "Greetings, Qin An King!"

An Qian chuckled, "It seems most of the survivors in Pretty Country have already prepared for how to deal with us. I'm afraid the Golden Experts in this city have already fled."

When Shi Lei asked, it turned out that the Golden Experts in the city had indeed left yesterday.

Their family members had also disappeared.

"I didn't expect these Pretty Country experts to hide like mice."

Shi Lei sighed, then, without even entering the city Lord's Mansion, he directly opened his Blessed Land on the street outside the city Lord's Mansion.

Another fifty Night members and ten thousand Silver Evolution individuals walked out from within.

This scene was also captured by Pretty Country Evolution individuals nearby and then posted on their country's chat channel.

"Take over this city. Resistance will be met with death."

Shi Lei commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!" The Night members responded in unison.

Shi Lei and the others returned to the Golden Winged Thunder Roc's back.

An Qian frowned and suggested, "Shi Lei, most of the Golden Experts have probably hidden themselves. Why don't we split up and search for them?"

Shi Lei shook his head, "There's no need for that yet. Let's first gain control of most of Pretty Country's cities. Then, when we mobilize a large army, I don't believe we won't be able to find them."

In less than half a day, they occupied six more cities.

Without exception, none of these cities had experts above the Golden Realm.

The Evolution individuals in the cities showed no resistance to Shi Lei's arrival.

"To occupy eight cities without shedding a single drop of blood, this must be the highest realm of military strategy, conquering without battle!"

Zhang Xiaoli said with a sigh of admiration.

"Haha, when we send this achievement back to Great Xia, it will surely astound those strategists, and we will be remembered in history!"

Kong Qingshu also giggled.

An Qian, however, expressed some concern, "Not a single Golden Expert has been seen. If they have already united and suddenly launch a sneak attack, fifty Night members might not be able to withstand four or five hundred Golden Experts."

Shi Lei nodded in agreement, "We must indeed guard against that."

The four of them sat on the Golden Winged Thunder Roc's back, discussing this issue in detail.

Finally, they decided that after taking one more city, they would temporarily rest.

They would figure out the whereabouts of those Golden Experts before making their next move.

When they arrived at the next city, called Scarn, they surprisingly found seven or eight Golden Realm Evolution individuals standing on the city wall.

Clustered in the center was a curvaceous blonde woman.

At this moment, she was waving her right hand, greeting Shi Lei and the others in mid-air.

Shi Lei looked down, a smile appearing on his face, and with a movement of his body, he flew down towards the city wall.

"How interesting. Let's go down."

"Greetings, Qin An King and esteemed ladies!"

The blonde woman stepped forward, bowing slightly in greeting.

Shi Lei asked indifferently, "Are you the city Lord of this city? What should I call you?"

The blonde woman smiled gracefully, "My name is Nova, and I am indeed the city Lord of this city."

She paused, then gestured with her hand, "Qin An King, please come to the city Lord's Mansion for a discussion!"

Shi Lei nodded, "Very well, lead the way."

Everyone rose again and flew into the city.

Zhang Xiaoli looked at the seductive Nova, then cautiously leaned close to Shi Lei and whispered, "Qin Dage, I think this woman might have ill intentions. You should be careful."

Kong Qingshu also leaned in, giggling, "Hehe, Zhang Xiaoli, I'll just say it directly for you. I think this Nova might be trying a honey trap. Qin Dage, you need to be careful, okay?"

Zhang Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Kong Qingshu, "Sister Qingshu, aren't you worried that Qin Dage won't be able to resist?"

Shi Lei said with a dark expression, "With you three peerless beauties, how could a mere honey trap succeed against me?"

An Qian, from the side, leisurely added, "That's not necessarily true. While the home flower is fragrant, wild flowers also have their own unique flavor."

Under siege by his three wives, Shi Lei wisely changed the subject, "I think this Nova probably has other plans."

"I think so too."

Zhang Xiaoli did not continue to dwell on the previous topic.

As they spoke, everyone had already arrived at the city Lord's Mansion.

"Qin An King, please take the main seat!"

Nova invited Shi Lei and the three women to the main seats in the hall, while she and her subordinates sat at the lower seats.

Then, several ladies served coffee emanating a rich aroma.

"Please, Qin An King, try our authentic Will Coffee here."

Nova raised her coffee, signaling to Shi Lei and the three women.

Shi Lei's eyes suddenly flashed with a purple light.

Nova felt a momentary daze in her mind, then saw Qin An King already holding his coffee and slowly savoring it.

An Qian and the other two women also picked up their coffee and drank it.

"What courage!" Nova praised, giving a thumbs up.

An Qian and the two women all glanced at their husband in unison, secretly chuckling in their hearts, "Stupid woman, you probably don't know that you just fell victim to my man's illusion, do you?"

Although Shi Lei was confident in his strength, possessed top-grade detoxification pills, and had Zhang Xiaoli, a master healer, he would not relax his guard and easily consume food from unknown individuals.

Just now, he had used an illusion to quickly ascertain that the coffee was harmless before confidently drinking it.

Nova, unaware of the truth, greatly admired Shi Lei and their courage.

She stood up, knelt on one knee, and said, "Qin An King, I, Nova, am willing to recognize you as my master. From now on, I will not hesitate to carry out any command!"

After their city Lord stood up, the other seven Golden Experts also stood up in unison.

They all knelt on one knee together, saying in unison, "We will not hesitate to carry out any command!"

Shi Lei said with a half-smile, "If I ask you to raise your swords against your own compatriots, would you also do so without hesitation?"

Nova's expression showed a hint of hesitation, then she said firmly, "Where my Lord points, there Nova's army shall go!"

Zhang Xiaoli suddenly teased, "Then what about warming Qin An King's bed?"

Nova smiled charmingly, "As long as the ladies don't mind, Nova would be very happy to."

"Hmph, you vixen!"

Zhang Xiaoli suddenly felt as if she had shot herself in the foot.
