After the Ruler received the news, he was furious and decided to start searching for Dark Magi spies in the Otherworld.
After Mike received the news, he only sneered and even wanted to curse. From his point of view, it was too late for the Ruler to think of doing these things. Not only would it be futile, it might even disrupt his own plan to eliminate the traitors.
As expected, the Dark Magi had already received the news in advance and went into hiding. The Ruler had sent guards to search the Otherworld for more than ten days, but they had only caught a few insignificant characters. Mike despised the Ruler in his heart. He did not expect the Ruler to be so stupid that it did not match his extraordinary strength. Mike was certain that the situation had developed to this point, the Ruler was responsible for 70-80% of
it.
He understood that relying on the Ruler alone was not reliable. Although he had never met the leader of the Dark Magi, he knew that if the Ruler and the leader of the Dark Magi were put together, the Ruler would definitely be killed instantly. He was surrounded by a group of slanderous officials all day long and could not make a correct judgment.
Mike thought of this and said to Little Jerry, âWe have to stop the evacuation of the shelter. Remember, do not expose the shelter and be ready to retreat at any time. Bastard, assemble the team. We have to build a defensive line here. Whether the Ruler sends people or not, we have to fight back against the Dark Magi.â
Little Jerry nodded and said, âIâm already gathering the troops. Also, Iâve sent a request for help to the gnomes and the Dark Church. The two major forces have yet to give a clear answer.â
Mike looked up and was stunned for a moment, then indicated that he understood.
He understood that the Dark Church would definitely participate in the war. Even if most people did not agree to participate in the war, there were still two idiots who would come to help him.
The corner of Mikeâs mouth curled up into a long-lost smile.
âYo, why are you smiling so happily?â Little Jerry pushed his wheelchair over and said to Mike, âI havenât seen you smile for a long time. I must have a few drinks with you today.â
Mike smiled and said, âTwo drinks.â
Mike and Little Jerry put their worries to the back of their minds and toasted each other.
Goblin dwarvesâ¦
ten figures in white robes were sitting around a round table, intensely discussing whether they should ally with the Dragon Castle.
A charming lady said, âI think we should ally with the Dragon Castle. The Dragon Castle is now an existence comparable to us goblin dwarves. If we ally with them, it wonât be considered lowering our status. Moreover, we donât need to go to the front line. We only need to protect their medicine and treat their wounded at the rear. Thereâs also no risk. In the future, we can also gain a powerful ally. Why not?â
âI donât agree!â An old man sitting opposite the beautiful woman said, âZi Wu, youâre too simple-minded. The war is still in its early stages, and the situation is still unclear. How can you be sure that weâll win this battle? âEven if we win this battle, how can you be sure that the Dragon Castle will still be able to ally with us after the battle is over? Donât tell me anything else. Arenât there still a lot of ungrateful things happening in this world? Look at the scene when they came to deliver the alliance invitation. All ten of us old men came out to welcome them. What about them? They only sent a few insignificant people. Isnât it obvious that theyâre looking down on us?â
Zi Wu looked at the old man and roared angrily, âOld man, youâre just bickering. Let me ask you, what reason do they have to break with us after the battle? We can provide them with the highest purchasing price for medicinal herbs and the lowest selling price for medicinal herbs. What benefits do they have if they fall out with us? Besides, didnât they already say that last time? Their organization is not in the Otherworld. Otherwise, he would have come to pay a visit long ago.â
The old man looked at Zi Wu and was so angry that he had lost his mind. He said angrily, âI donât believe it. I donât believe it. You coquettish woman, did you receive any benefits from him? Or did you treat him as a gigolo?!â
When Zi Wu heard that she had been framed like this, she stood up angrily and roared, âIâll tear your mouth apart!â

Everyone hurriedly tried to stop the fight. For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. When everyone saw this, they hurriedly adjusted their appearance and shouted towards the door, âCome in.â
A young man with delicate features walked in. He bowed to everyone and said, âElders, the Guardian from last time is here. Besides, there are two young men who I havenât seen before. One of them said his name is Mi⦠Miâ¦â
When Zi Wu heard this, she said with a smile, âMike!â
âYes, yes, yes! His name is Mike. They are asking for an audience outside the door. I donât knowâ¦â
âSend them in!â
âCoughâ¦â
Zi Wu hurriedly sat up straight. She looked at the old man in the lead and said,
âSenior Brother, can we meet him?â
The old man in the lead hurriedly coughed twice to cover up his awkwardness. He said, âAlright. Since Junior Sister has said so, letâs meet him. But let me be blunt. If he dares to look down on us even a little, we will send him off immediately!â Zi Wu nodded like she was pounding garlic. She said, âOf course. When the time comes, thereâs no need for you to say it, Senior Brother. Iâll naturally see what he can do.â
The elder looked at the youth at the door and said, âPhilip, go on. Lead him to the living room. Weâll wait for him there.â
When the youth heard this, he bowed and took his leave.
Mike looked at the youthâs expression and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He and Little Jerry looked at each other, thinking that he had come at the right time. Otherwise, he might have missed the opportunity.
Six hours ago, Mike had arranged everything and had a drink with Little Jerry. Little Jerry suddenly brought up the matter of sending the visiting card. Mike asked, âWhat kind of reaction did the other party have when you sent the visiting card?â
Little Jerry faithfully described the reactions of the elders.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mike secretly cursed. He suddenly stood up, giving Little Jerry a fright.
âWhat are you doing?â
Mike said, âLetâs go to visit the gnome dwarves. Hurry up.â
Little Jerry also realized the seriousness of the matter, and rushed out of the door with Mike.
Little Jerry said, âItâs all my fault. I forgot about this matter.â
Mike took back the message he sent to Akari and said to Little Jerry, âNow that things have come to this, letâs not talk about these useless things. Letâs hurry up and leave. Iâve also called Akari. In this way, we canât be considered to have neglected them.â
Mike thought about it and still felt that it was not safe, so he told the Guardian to see if he could make a trip.
The Guardian readily agreed.
Mike was not surprised. After all, the other party still needed something from him.
Mike came to the gnome dwarfâs door. The Guardian hadnât arrived yet, so this scene happened.
Mike walked to Philipâs side and secretly stuffed a gold bar into his hand. He asked, âCan you tell me how your elders reacted when they heard that I was here?â
Philip felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Mikeâs actions. He pushed the gold bar back into Mikeâs and said, âThe elders were very excited when they heard that your organization had come.â
Philip recalled what he looked like at that time and added in his heart, âThey were very excited, very excited.â
