Two rows of soldiers wrapped in golden armor, holding golden spears and wearing bright red cloaks on their shoulders, entered the city amid the powerful and rhythmic steps.

The two knights in front, one black and one gold, are obviously of noble status, and can be seen from the texture of their armor alone.

The soldiers behind us entered the city one after another, looking simple and capable, but everyone was wrapped in armor and couldn't see their appearance.

Some people in the city plucked up their courage and began to walk out of the door and come to the street, watching the rows of soldiers passing by.

"The residents of the island!" A voice suddenly sounded and spread to everyone's ears, "As you see, this island has changed hands, and has since been renamed the Island of Watch, and has been incorporated into the territory of the Eternal Empire. You live as usual, and you don't need to worry."

More and more people are taking to the streets, and people are talking about the radio just now.

"Taxes are cut in half!"

Until this voice was made, everyone was silent, and then the whole city burst into warm cheers.

Yadunis and Ding Lei stood side by side by side by window in the palace, where you can see the conditions of the residents of the city below.

"There seems that there is no oil on the island, and the original indigenous leaders have concentrated all their wealth in their homes." Ding Lei turned around and looked at the magnificent palace, which was in sharp contrast with the yellow adobe houses in the city.

It seems that the tax is quite heavy. Camilla gave a suggestion of tax reduction and exemption through the video crystal.

This is the best way to win people's hearts. At least when your own caravan comes to purchase in the future, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

“Their fishery is rich, pearls, shells, crabs and others.”

In the communication crystal in Ding Lei's hand, the owl's avatar appeared on it. It was the conclusion given after reading the industry report handed over by the officials here.

Yadunis turned to the Death Knight and ordered: "Let the indigenous officials here maintain public order as usual." Then he turned to look at Ding Lei, "Let's go and see the future naval base."

Ding Lei nodded, and with the God of Death raising his hand, the two disappeared from the spot.

When it appeared again, it was near a huge pier.

It looked messy here, with several half-sank ironclad ships overturning on the water.

Denise, regardless of whether these things were useful or not, everything floating on the sea would explode.

At this time, some people poked their heads out of the basement of the dock. After seeing Ding Lei and the others, they slowly walked over and asked, "May I ask..."

"I heard the broadcast just now? Your new rulers."

When the other party heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, not like a knight, but like a slave, his head and hands tightly against the ground.

Judging from their proficient movements, they obviously do this often.

"From today." Ding Lei's voice resounded throughout the island, "You are subjects of the Eternal Empire. You are not allowed to kneel except to perform knightly salutes to the Eternal King and the Imperial Marshal! Do you understand?"

The people on the ground in front raised their heads, looked at each other, and finally stood up one after another, and the sailors gathered more and more.

A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, looking like the foreman here.

He took off the hat on his head, put it in his hand, bowed his body slightly, looked at Ding Lei with a humble look and asked, "Your Majesty Chief, can you... pay us some wages? Brothers have not received their salary for several months."

Ding Lei turned around in surprise and asked, "Didn't your previous head of state pay you a salary?"

"The chiefs are going to fight with money, and the taxes collected have increased recently. All wages here except for basic food have been detained. According to their statement, war needs."

People around him nodded, and some people showed angry expressions, but they did not dare to express too much. Obviously, the previous rulers did not allow any complaints below.

Ding Lei lowered his head and decided with Yadunis, and finally raised his head and said loudly: "Don't worry, from now on, work for me! Work for the Eternal Empire! No one will lose a penny to you!"

"Can you guarantee it?" Everyone nodded and agreed.

Ding Lei looked at him and said, "Open the national treasury! Now!"

"Oh~~~!!!!!!!" Everyone cheered loudly.

The oil and water in this place are concentrated on several chiefs, just open their treasury.

The rest is regarded as infrastructure costs.

Call the Death Knight and ask him to take the workers to the palace to receive their salaries.

Amid the gratitude of the crowd, Ding Lei continued to wander around the giant pier.

"Can the Ark Devils make submarines?" Halfway through, Ding Lei asked the 'Minister of Defense' next to him, who asked strangely: "What is the submarine?"

"It is used for underwater vehicles, sneak attacks, and the weapons are mainly torpedoes."

Yadunis did not answer, lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I never thought that my enemies had never used this kind of thing before, but I can let them try to make a look."

Ding Lei nodded and then discussed how to connect this place to the local area. The answer is a portal, and the power to extract magic from the air is just a little more.

If humans use portals, the cost is relatively high. They can get at least 5 gold coins from the local area to here. In order to allow them to contribute more gold coins to the Demon King City, they have to increase the traffic of passengers to and from the portal. The method is to turn this place into a tourist destination. In this way, in addition to aquatic producers, other ordinary people can also come through the portal if they want to take a vacation.

"The next thing is about the military base." Ding Lei stood beside the platform, looking at the surging waves in the distance, and said without looking back: "What are you going to make this place like? Am I referring to Immortal City or Humanity?"

Yadunis came to his side and said, "There are three ready-made military ports, two for humans. We only need one, after all, the number is not as large as humans."

Ding Lei nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Strath's voice came: "Your Highness, the portal is ready."

So fast?!

That's just finished speaking.

Then he took Yadunis and flashed over the portal as instructed.

The huge portal is located near the suburbs one kilometer away from the main city. At this time, the surrounding area is busy, and a large number of workers transported sand and stones and other construction materials from the local area.

It seems that Congress had already prepared, and various builders came over to plan and contract the land hungrily.

Seeing the project below in full swing, Ding Lei turned around and asked, "How do humans know?"

Strath shrugged and said that some of the witches at home wanted to eat seafood. Camilla asked the humans below to inform the Imperial Expeditionary Force that they had gone out to open up the territory. Once the territory was defeated, they would ask them to go over and bring the seafood specialties there.

What humans think of is to transform every land that has been built into a permanent overseas market, and seafood and local specialties are just by the way.

After hearing this, Ding Lei smiled and said, "Whatever you want, isn't conquering the world just to make the guys in the Demon King City live a better life?"

After handing over the things here to officials coming from the local area to take over, the expedition fleet set sail again.

At this time, a diplomatic fleet, nearly a hundred nautical miles away, sent a message that they were attacked.
