The resistance's decisive victory over the seemingly invincible Noah Empire crusaders quickly spread throughout Anatolia.
The common people of Anatolia could hardly believe that the Canglan Kingdom resistance had truly defeated the Noah Empire crusaders.
This victory also boosted the confidence of other nobles in Canglan Kingdom.
The Noah Empire crusaders were not invincible after all.
Hadn't the Knight Master led the resistance to kill fifty thousand crusaders?
Though many nobles in Canglan Kingdom cared little for the royal family, they treasured their own wealth dearly.
If the Noah Empire crusaders came to their lands, they would loot these nobles' properties.
If their slaves were killed, who would tend to their many estates and lands?
A noble's worth was measured in gold by weight — no noble would personally farm their lands.
"Knight Master!"
"The resistance has won! Anatolia is saved! The Knight Master has driven the evil crusaders out of Anatolia!"
Chu Yun sat inside a luxurious carriage as the commoners lining the streets cheered for their Knight Master.
"Knight Master, you've become the hero of Anatolia!"
"And Anatolia is your fiefdom now. With your prestige, no noble here dares oppose you."
Countess sat beside Chu Yun, her alluring face smudged with dirt.
Her seductive smile made her even more captivating.
"Knight Master, are you planning to govern Anatolia next? I can help you."
The foxlike, enchanting Second Wife sat on the other side.
She wore a sexy black pencil skirt, her plump legs clad in shiny black silk stockings.
However, her shiny black silk-clad feet were stained with dirt — especially her tempting stockings, as if just pulled from the water, obscuring their original color.
"We haven't completely defeated the crusaders yet, and you're already eager to claim victory?" Chu Yun said, holding a battle report sent by Mana's pigeon messenger.
Though the resistance courageously killed fifty thousand crusaders, the Noah Empire's crusaders were no weaklings.
Of the three hundred thousand resistance troops under Chu Yun, ninety thousand had fallen.
Only two hundred and ten thousand remained.
These troops had to defend against the Elf High Priestess — if she led the Noah Empire crusaders to attack, losses would be catastrophic.
They also had to intimidate Anatolia's nobles.
After all, Anatolia was now Chu Yun's fiefdom, and these greedy nobles needed to provide him with grain and treasures.
Without enough soldiers, the greedy nobles would never hand over their grain and treasures willingly.
"Knight Master, we're always going all out. Won't you give us some rewards?"
Second Wife coquettishly complained in a voice that tingled to the bone.
She slowly raised her tempting black silk-clad foot to show Chu Yun.
Looking at her dirt-stained, nearly water-soaked black silk feet, Chu Yun's heart burned hot.
"What rewards do you want?" Chu Yun asked slowly.
The foxlike Second Wife smiled triumphantly.
"Knight Master, once your mansion is established, won't you need help managing it?"
"Just give me some Mana Recovery Potion so I can make some gold in Anatolia — that's all I want."
Mana Recovery Potion was a rare, priceless elixir in both Canglan Kingdom's Royal City and Anatolia's main city.
If Second Wife could get a steady supply, countless nobles would fawn over her to buy the potion.
She followed Chu Yun now, with no shortage of gold, and sought noble status instead.
"All right."
Giving her some Mana Recovery Potion to sell was a trivial matter for Chu Yun.
But for Second Wife, it would elevate her status in the main city.
Thinking of the endless nobles who would seek her favor, her foxlike, enchanting smile grew even more radiant.
Night fell.
Count's estate held a grand banquet.
The Anatolia main city mansion was not yet cleaned, so Chu Yun let Count have the privilege of hosting the feast.
After all, living in Count's mansion treated Chu Yun very well.
When Count heard that the Knight Master would hold the banquet at his mansion, he couldn't stop smiling.
Anatolia was now the Knight Master's fiefdom, and all the nobles there were nominally under him.
That the Knight Master used his mansion to hold the feast signaled a very close relationship.
This greatly elevated Count's status among Anatolia's nobles.
"Knight Master, a toast to you!"
A nobleman dressed in a splendid brocade robe smiled lightly, bowing deeply before Chu Yun.
"Thank you."
Chu Yun had lost count of how many nobles had toasted him tonight.
Even with his body enhanced by Blood Strengthening Potion, the several bottles of wine had made him dizzy.
"Knight Master, you've had too much. Let me help you to the lounge to rest."
Countess walked over in a sexy black evening gown, the deep-V style revealing large swaths of snow-white, delicate skin.
Her full legs were clad in seductive purple over-the-knee lace stockings, feet in eight-centimeter red-soled high heels.
At the banquet, Countess wore a noble pearl necklace around her snow-white neck, exuding mature noblewoman charm.
"All right."
Supported by the enchanting Countess, Chu Yun entered the lounge.
Night deepened.
The banquet at Count's estate dispersed, all guests having left.
Count, freshly bathed, returned to his chamber to rest.
At that moment, the door slowly opened.
The alluring Countess stepped in, high heels clicking softly.
"Wife, you're back. Is the Knight Master asleep?" Count asked, gazing at his enchanting wife.
"Asleep? With so many sexy noblewomen here tonight, how could the Knight Master sleep?"
"Come, take off my shoes. After every meeting, isn't that your favorite thing to do?"
Countess looked at her husband with a disdainful gaze.
She sat on a chair, crossing her dirt-stained, full purple-stockinged legs, her stockinged toes hooking her red-soled heels and swaying gently in the air.
Count hurriedly knelt, inching toward his wife's feet.
As he neared, a strong scent wafted from her.
"How is it? Smells good? My high heels smell even better."
Countess smiled seductively, looking down on her noble husband kneeling at her feet, her eyes full of contempt.
