However, things did not develop as Rhodes imagined.

The vibrations caused by the solar crystal veins were far beyond his expectations.

Wang Cheng did not remain silent about his series of victories and gains as before, but immediately sent a heavyweight team and arrived at Fanxing Town that same day.

The team is led by Guardian Churchel and Elder Palos, and its members include the director of the Royal City's Logistics Resources Department, senior prospectors, the head of the expeditionary legion, and several senior Royal City affairs officials.

The team found Rhodes as soon as they arrived at Fanxing Town.

As soon as Rhodes saw this formation, he knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, Elder Palos told him clearly that the Sun Crystal Mineral Veins could not be used as his private trophies and must be taken over by the Royal City.

Rhodes' face suddenly darkened: "Why?"

"Because this is the most important strategic resource of the Imperial City, its exploitation and distribution must be planned uniformly by the Imperial City."

"However, we clearly agreed before the expedition that all the spoils of war belong to me. At that time, you also said that this was to verify whether the expedition and pioneering actions could bring positive benefits to mankind, and used this as an excuse.

My establishment has been reduced, my supplies have been reduced, and even the money for my expedition was borrowed from a wealthy businessman in Maihara!"

Elder Palos’ expression did not change at all.

"This is your own business and has nothing to do with the Royal City's strategy. It is Trorian's consistent rule to recover the sun's crystal veins."

Rhodes frowned and said: "Your Excellency, Elder, King City needs to be more reasonable, right?"

"There are so many of us, we have risked our lives and worked so hard to acquire resources, and you just take it away like this? Do I need no money to support such a big family? Everyone's salary, distribution of supplies, medicines, and food are all free of charge.

Really?"

Elder Palos said coldly: "This is none of my business."

Rhodes felt angry, waved his hand and said: "If you say so, the Sun Crystal Mine is none of your business."

Elder Palos narrowed his eyes: "What do you want to do? I warn you, you are violating the orders of the royal city."

Rhodes sneered and said: "You obviously violated it first. The land I occupied is mine, and the resources I mined are also mine. This is an agreement between the king and the elders. If you break the agreement, you are contemptuous of the king. I don't agree.

I want to ask you, do you have any evil intentions towards the king who protects the holy fire?"

Elder Palos never expected that Rhodes would not even pay the elder's account. The reason why the Royal City sent so many people was to suppress him and make him obediently offer the mineral vein. However, he did not expect that this guy was more powerful than he thought.

Thorn head.

"Little boy."

Elder Palos also had a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Do you think your success is yours? Without the support of the royal city, can you borrow money? Can you buy so many supplies? There are so many outstanding warriors here who will obey your orders?"

"You have to know that as long as I say a word, you will become a bare commander."

Rhodes said dullly: "You can try."

Elder Palos had blue veins visibly appearing on his forehead and said sternly: "Molly, summon all the people with official positions in Fanxing Town."

Molly stood behind Rhodes, looking indifferent, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Elder Palos said angrily: "Molly! Don't forget that your job is the senior dispatcher of the Military War Department!"

Molly's bright eyes looked into the air, with no expression on her delicate face, as if he didn't exist.

Palos' whole face turned red, but it was Rhodes who said, "Molly, go ahead."

Molly turned around and left the hall.

After a while, all the people in Fanxing Town who were at the level of squad leader or above gathered in the hall.

Palos used his spiritual energy to strengthen his voice and announced loudly: "Rhodes has been dismissed from his post for violating the orders of the Royal City. The Internal Affairs Tribunal and the Tribunal will immediately punish him for his crimes. All of you will return to the Royal City immediately. Anyone who violates this will be guilty of the same crime as him!

”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole crowd immediately exploded!

"What did you say?"

"Where does this liar come from? Lord Rhodes is Trolian's new star, how can he be punished?"

"Sir Rhodes has opened up such a large territory and expanded such a large living space. There is no way that the Royal City will remove him from his position."

"Don't talk nonsense to him, he must be a doomsday cultist who wants to destroy our victory!"

"Yes, he is a doomsday cultist!"

"Quick, watchman! Go and catch him!"

"Catch the doomsday cultists!"

"There are doomsday cultists coming to attack Fanxing Town!"

Although Palos kept claiming that he was an elder and presented various evidences, no one listened. The crowd was so excited that a fight would have started if Rhodes hadn't stopped him.

In the end, Rhodes made everyone disperse angrily by saying that this was a misunderstanding and that this person was talking nonsense because he had a big problem in his head.

Palos's face turned red and blue, and he left the hall without saying a word.

Rhodes turned around and smiled: "Well done, Molly, otherwise this guy would have thought we were weak persimmons."

Molly said seriously: "He will not give up. This is the bottom line of Wangcheng. They cannot compromise."

Rhodes' tone turned cold: "If you don't compromise, you have to compromise. I have calculated that even if the true silver mine is fully operational, the daily output will only be 15 million silver cords, and our net profit will only be around 800,000.

, the weekly income is only 5.6 million silver cables."

"And our weekly expenditure has already exceeded 20 million, and it will increase significantly in the future. The sun crystal veins must not be compromised."

Molly said: "We can reduce this expenditure."

Rhodes snorted: "Why should I surrender?"

Molly said no more.

Although this is extremely unreasonable, she has already made up her mind that Rhodes' will is her will.

In this way, Rhodes and the Royal City team came to a stalemate.

He originally planned to force the person away and create a fait accompli. If he paid a small price, Wang Cheng might just pinch his nose and admit it.

But at night, Guardian Churchill found him alone.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Churcher once worked as a teacher in the Hidden Branch, and participated in the Battle of Suo City and the Battle of the Abyss Serpent. He met Rhodes several times and had a good impression of him.

"Little Rod, you can't do it this hard."

Churchill is a burly man who is always shirtless, showing his strong muscles and abdominal muscles.

He carried his weapons on his back - a sledgehammer and a huge axe. They were dark and unattractive in appearance, but Rhodes knew that Churchill had used them to block a giant sword of flesh and blood a thousand times their size. In terms of strength,

The superior suppressed the Abyss Serpent.

"Sun Crystal is the lifeblood material of the Royal City, and it can never be controlled by private individuals. This will give him the qualification to threaten the Royal City. If his will is different from the Royal City, it will cause us to be torn apart internally."

Rhodes frowned: "How is this possible? This is just a resource."

Churchill smiled.

The flesh all over his face was squeezed together, making him look a little ferocious, but his eyes were gentle.

"Little Rhodes, you haven't become a high-level combatant yet. There are some things you don't know. This is not unnecessary worry. It has happened in history."

Rhodes scratched the back of his head, feeling a little unbelievable.

Churchill continued: "You should know that except for the first level of psychic upgrade ceremony, you must use solar crystals."

"You can imagine that everyone is looking forward to improving their spiritual power, but there are not so many sun crystals in the royal city. They need to queue for months or even years to get the sun crystals for the ceremony. During this period

Over time, they cannot practice, cannot improve their spiritual power, and may even suffer from various discomforts because their spiritual power exceeds the limit of their souls for a long time."

"What would you do if at this time, there was someone who could help you get sun crystals immediately, and even guarantee that you would have enough sun crystals in the future?"

Rhodes fell silent.

His spiritual power level was skipped. He only went through two spiritual power upgrade ceremonies in total, and only once required solar crystallization. He did not really feel this pain point.

But the second time, he did have to wait for a while because of the sun crystal. It was because he was about to leave for the expedition that he was able to get priority and jump in line to hold the psychic upgrade ceremony.

If it were a normal level-by-level promotion, then such a long wait would be really painful.

If you think about it this way, if someone masters this resource, then many people will naturally gather around him. If things go on like this, it is not impossible to develop the power to split the royal city.

However, if he were to hand it over like this, he would be extremely unwilling to do so.

Churchill smiled and said: "Little Rhodes, don't be so rigid in your thinking. You can make conditions. Don't forget, you are a genius among geniuses. There are only ten new stars in the royal city every year, and you have already reserved one of them.

, Wang Cheng also cares about such a future pillar of mankind, and the achievements you have created so far have far exceeded the limit of a newcomer. You are fully qualified to negotiate terms with Wang Cheng."

Rhodes was silent for a moment and asked: "What will happen if I insist on not making friends?"

Churchill's expression became serious: "Why do you think the Royal City specially sent a guardian to participate in such an internal matter? High-level combatants are a very precious force. Unless they are in the recovery or promotion period, they will not
