Demiller's attitude was very resolute.

He stated, "Lin Chen killed my people from Deburg and also detained my youngest son. This matter absolutely cannot be left like this! Provincial Governor, could it be that the Blue Star people can now ride on our heads?"

"Marquis Demiller, watch your words."

Jin Qiang said in a deep voice, "If you insist on starting a war against Tianyue City, I, the Provincial Governor, have never said I would stop you. However, today I just received a document from the council, here, take a look. What you ultimately do is up to you!"

With that, Jin Qiang tossed Demiller a document.

"Tianyue City Blue Star People Incorporation Resolution?"

Demiller immediately looked at the document, his expression worsening. After reading it, he slammed the document on the table with a 'bang.' He said in a muffled voice, "Hmph, the council actually decided to grant Lin Chen the title of Baron. What does he have to rely on? He has not made any contribution to Dragon Spirit Country!"

"This is the decision of the council. If Marquis Demiller is unhappy, then you can go to the council. Now, I'm just telling you that Lin Chen is now also a Baron of Dragon Spirit Country. If Deburg wants to start a war with Tianyue City, the council, I, the Provincial Governor, including the major families, have no right to interfere, but I must also remind you that we cannot support you either."

Jin Qiang's intention was to maintain a neutral attitude.

"Hmph, having Provincial Governor Jin's words is enough. Dealing with a group of Blue Star people, Deburg doesn't need anyone's help!"

Demiller angrily left the scene.

Subsequently, the others also took their leave one after another.

After everyone had left, a man came in and said to Jin Qiang, "Provincial Governor, it seems that the conflict between Deburg and Tianyue City is irreconcilable this time."

"That's good, isn't it a good thing for us to sit back and watch the tigers fight?"

Jin Qiang said in a deep voice, "You've also seen, none of these Marquises and Counts' families are easy to deal with. This time, it might be a good opportunity."

"The Great Elder means that Tianyue City can be used, but we can't let them rise up either. The Provincial Governor must be careful to grasp the measure. The Provincial Governor can turn Tianyue City into a sharp sword to deal with these families, but at the same time, be careful...if the sword is too sharp, be careful of cutting your own hand."

After the man finished speaking, he also left.

"A sharp sword devouring its master?"

Jin Qiang pondered.

Soon, Jin Qiang immediately made a decision. He went straight out the door and flew into the sky.

The flying steed Pegasus was summoned and carried Jin Qiang out of Falling Leaf City, quickly arriving at Tianyue City.

At that time, in Tianyue City, people were either mining or leveling up.

At this moment, Jin Qiang stood in the air, holding an edict in his hand, and said loudly, "Lin Chen, City Lord of Tianyue City, come to see me, the Provincial Governor!"

His voice shook the heavens and the earth.

Lin Chen heard the voice and immediately combined with his three pets, flying into the sky and standing, loudly saying, "Lin Chen greets the Provincial Governor."

"City Lord Lin, congratulations, you are now a Baron of Dragon Spirit Country. This is the letter of appointment. From now on, you and Tianyue City are both members of Dragon Spirit Country. I hope you develop Tianyue City well and do not fail my cultivation!" Jin Qiang's voice was as loud as a bell.

His voice could be heard throughout almost the entire Tianyue City.

"Lin Chen thanks the Provincial Governor."

Lin Chen took the document and a badge from Jin Qiang's hand.

That was the badge representing the Baron of Dragon Spirit Country.

At this time, Jin Qiang said loudly again, "According to the Imperial Convention, all imperial nobles are granted territory. City Lord Lin's territory is Tianyue City. At the same time, the Baron City Lord must send three hundred people to the imperial battlefield. But because Tianyue City has just joined the empire, you are specially allowed to train for three months before sending troops. In addition, from now on, all residents of Tianyue City are citizens of Dragon Spirit Country. There is no longer a distinction between Dragon Spirit Country people and Blue Star people. Both sides must allow intermarriage. City Lord Lin, do you have any objections?"

Open intermarriage.

In addition, they have to send troops to support the battlefield?

"Provincial Governor, where is this battlefield located?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

Jin Qiang explained, "The location of the imperial battlefield is uncertain. It may be the former Dragon Spirit Country's mother planet, or it may be the Cold Ice Country's mother planet... In short, they are all exhausted planets. And the results of the battle will affect the borders and resource allocation of various countries in the Blue Star Realm. If you make military achievements in battle, City Lord Lin can also receive rewards."

Dragon Spirit Country also has a mother planet?

And Cold Ice Country too...

Moreover, Jin Qiang also said that those places selected as battlefields were all planets with exhausted resources.

Doesn't this just show why Dragon Spirit Country, Cold Ice Country, and many other countries are invading Blue Star?

It turned out that their mother planets had exhausted their resources!

Sure enough, they are all a bunch of robbers and bandits.

Could it be that after the resources of Blue Star are exhausted, they will plunder the next planet?

Wait a minute...

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something wrong.

If Blue Star has sufficient resources, then why did they expand Blue Star hundreds of times after invading?

This itself consumes a lot of resources!

There must be something hidden in between that Lin Chen doesn't know, or a secret.

Lin Chen didn't think much about it.

Because, in addition to explaining the matter of the imperial battlefield, Jin Qiang also told Lin Chen one thing...

He actually wanted Tianyue City to open up intermarriage.

Let Blue Star people marry people from Dragon Spirit Country.

What does this mean?

Lin Chen wasn't worried about any reproductive isolation. After all, now that the game has descended into reality, people from Dragon Spirit Country like Jin Qiang are also living people, so there shouldn't be any problems in this regard.

However, Lin Chen always felt that something was wrong.

Isn't intermarriage always free?

Jin Qiang's special explanation was a bit like a guilty conscience.

But Lin Chen didn't seem to have any other choice. He said in a deep voice, "Understood, Provincial Governor, Lin Chen has no objections! However, regarding the matter of intermarriage, Lin Chen can only guarantee that he will not stop it, but we Blue Star people have always advocated freedom of marriage."

"That's enough." Jin Qiang was very satisfied with Lin Chen's response. He nodded and turned to leave.

As for the conflict between Tianyue City and Deburg, Jin Qiang never mentioned a word from beginning to end.

This also made Lin Chen very puzzled.

However, Lin Chen soon heard the news...

When Lin Chen returned to the City Lord's Mansion with the Baron badge, Zhang Chunlin rushed over and said, "Boss, take a look..."

In his hand, he held a letter.

Turning the envelope over, there were two words written on it: Challenge!

"Deburg's letter of challenge? Hehe, the people of Dragon Spirit Country are quite interesting... What did they say inside?" Lin Chen asked.

Zhang Chunlin tore open the envelope and said, "Deburg wants us to release Della immediately and said they will give Tianyue City a fair battle."

"Fair... do you believe it?"

Lin Chen obviously had his own views. He laughed and said, "This battle was never going to be fair. We would be fools to release Della. Keeping Della alive before was to avoid war and make Deburg have some scruples. Now it seems that Deburg doesn't seem to care much about Della's life or death... Chunlin, go and reply immediately, saying that if Deburg wants to attack Tianyue City, Tianyue City will definitely resist to the death! And we will kill Della first to offer as a sacrifice to the flag!"

"Yes, that's right, we can't indulge them!"

Zhang Chunlin also agreed with Lin Chen's opinion.

He went to reply immediately.

At the same time, Lin Chen also issued a notice in the city, informing everyone of this matter.

Lin Chen's original intention was to remind everyone and encourage everyone to work harder to survive, but Lin Chen still underestimated human nature... Although most people did work harder to mine and level up, some bad rumors began to spread within the Blue Star people.

Soul Number One Mountain Range.

Inside the mine.

At this time, a group of people were working hard to mine, and a new group of people came in with constant discussions.

"Do you think we can withstand Deburg's attack this time?"

"Don't think too much, most of us haven't even reached level eighty, what can we use to resist!"

"Yeah, at this time, we have to admit defeat."

"City Lord... bah! Lin Chen doesn't seem like someone who would admit defeat, and Zhang Chunlin, that guy is even more hateful, hmph! Do you still remember Ye Tenglong? Young Master Ye, didn't he just argue with Lin Chen a few times in the group, and as a result, Zhang Chunlin directly threw him out of the car and let the monsters eat him!"

"To be honest, I also think that as the City Lord, he should prioritize everyone's life and death at this time... He's tough, he showed his power and went on a killing spree outside the city that night, enjoying himself to the fullest, but what about now? Once Deburg attacks, won't we be cannon fodder then?"

"I thought that even if we weren't classmates before, we were still alumni. Now that he's the City Lord, we could get some benefits!"

"Benefits? Hehe... all the benefits have been taken by Zhang Chunlin. Oh, it's not that no classmates have gotten benefits, Jiang Youyou, she directly latched onto Zhang Chunlin, and even her sister is doing very well now!"

"Hmph, anyway, when the war starts, we won't be cannon fodder."

"..."

If Lin Chen were here, he would definitely recognize many familiar faces.

Among them, there were even a few of Lin Chen's classmates.

Yes.

It was Zhang Chunlin and Lin Chen who rescued them from the school.

But now, these people spoke of Lin Chen and Zhang Chunlin with a very dissatisfied look.

Why?

As the saying goes, give a pint of rice, get gratitude; give a peck of rice, get hatred.

Perhaps that's why, after arriving in Tianyue City, the treatment they received was almost no different from everyone else, but the former classmates are now the City Lord and Deputy City Lord...

Many people had a huge sense of loss in their hearts.

They even felt a little unbalanced.

Selfish people often don't look for reasons in themselves.

What's more, there were people deliberately provoking them.

Among them, Liu Hai and Wang Shangfang were constantly exhausting the saliva in their mouths, and the two of them were the most talkative.

They even kept exchanging glances, giving people a feeling of singing in harmony.
