Chapter 151
"What happened?" Christian’s voice came from a distance .


"Blavi, take care of them . " Anfey raised his voice . "Ok, everybody, mind your own business . If you have done everything, go rest early . "
Everybody left . Doris heaved a sigh, and then she was pulled away by Suzanna . Christian landed from the air next to the dwarf bodies on the ground . His brows snapped together . "What happened?"
"They were trying to escape, but got hit by Blavi’s magic," Anfey said .
Christian slightly shook his head, but did not say anything .
"Christian, it is getting dark . Go get some rest . Don’t make yourself too tired," Anfey said quietly .
"What to do? Someone has to take care of them, right?" Christian did not buy what Anfey said .
"Capable people usually take on more tasks than they should," Anfey smiled .
"Forget about it . " Christian was a little pissed . "Don’t find excuses for your laziness . "
"I know I cannot manage it," Anfey said .
"I was just like you a long time ago . " Christian suddenly became sentimental .
"A long time ago? Come on, how old are you?" Anfey said .
"It was indeed a long time ago . I hated running errands . I would rather hide in my room to have my peace . Later, my father told me that every step matters in life . A person needed to learn to manage himself first before he could learn to in charge of a family . Learning to manage a family was a prerequisite for managing a village . Learning to manage a village was required before managing a city," Christian said .
"Learning to manage a city is a prerequisite for managing a country?" Anfey said casually .
"Well…" Christian paused . "I did not have such high expectations for myself . I hope I can at least manage myself well . Back then, my father asked about my dreams . I just answered that I hoped I could first manage myself well . My father later sent me out of the country . "
"That’s perfect . Keep up your good work, Christian . This place is similar to a village . I am helping you now . " Anfey patted on Christian’s shoulder .
"You are so annoying," Christian muttered .
"Why don’t you see that I am actually helping you?" Anfey said .
"I have no time to bulls*^t with you . I have to finish something . " Christian released levitation magic and flew away . He did not intend to bother with Anfey anymore . Anfey watched Christian flying away and smiled . His smile seemed to be more like a grin . Suddenly Anfey saw a person walking towards him . It was the princess of Shansa Empire, Alice . He hurried to turn around and walk back to his own room . He did not want to have any contact with her at this time . She was very smart . If she noticed Anfey was going to attack Griffin Aerial Unit, something nasty might happen . No matter how much Alice hated her father and siblings, Anfey did not expect Alice to contribute to this task . Giving her a small hint about this task was all Anfey could do .

In the following days, everyone was busy . Most houses did not meet the standards and needed to be rebuilt . The ones that met the standards had some minor problems here and there . They needed to do a thorough inspection underground as well . Dwarves and gnomes had phenomenal digging ability . The whole town was like another vision of the TV show "Tunnel Wars" in Anfey’s world . Almost every room had a secret tunnel leading to the underground tunnels . The large number of underground tunnels in the town gave Anfey’s legion a huge headache .
Blavi and Riska took turns taking people to do site inspections in ground tunnels, where they were even attacked by dwarves and gnomes . When the werewolf Barak ordered the natives to chase after Anfey’s legion, there must have been many dwarves and gnomes still working on the tunnels . They absolutely escaped a disaster . Blavi and Riska estimated their number at somewhere between one hundred and three hundred .

Every time they finished a site inspection in the ground tunnels, Hui Wei would add something to the map . Main roads, secret passages, branches, and dead ends seemed to get more clear . Alibaba mercenary group never lacked mages . With Christian’s lead, they started to set up magic arrays on every main pass in the underground tunnels . They tried to reduce the areas that dwarves and gnomes could live .
Some people might think they had wasted their resources, but Anfey believed it was necessary . A base was a must-have if they wanted to do something here . Setting up the magic arrays could better ensure everyone’s safety . As time went by, the first defensive system map was drafted in Alibaba mercenary group .
Anfey had been hanging out with Hagan, experimenting on magic chemicals . Black Eleven disappeared on the first night . He had became a boarbeast businessman by the time he showed up again . He herded over a hundred boarbeasts back to the town . Two days later, he herded more boarbeasts back . There were over four hundred boarbeasts in total .
Everybody thought those boarbeasts were prepared for them to stay long in this town . Black Eleven seemed really eager to do this business . Another day, he herded over forty boarbeasts out of the town . No one knew where he went .
One day, people were enjoying themselves in the town . Girls washed clothes around the well as they sang . Black Eleven’s subordinates were practicing . Hired guards were patrolling outside the town . Some people chatted together while others were flirting on the empty field . Anfey, Suzanna, and Christian sat on an ancient tree, chatting .
Suddenly they were all interrupted by a magic signal from outside of the town . Girls immediately picked up their basins and ran back to their rooms . There was a tunnel in each room . All they needed to do was to hide in the tunnels as fast as they could .


Guards hurried to find their own weapons . They looked nervously at Anfey, who was still on the tree . They waited for his orders . Black Eleven’s subordinates stopped their practice and hid in their assigned spots .
Christian released his Eyes of Sky . He set up all the lookout posts, which could accurately locate who was coming into the town . A cavalry of around two hundred riders showed in the Eyes of Sky . Their looks were not clear, but it did show they marched in perfect formation . The bright silver armor shone the cold colors . They looked powerful and magnificent . There was a group of regular people behind them . They should be the people herding the boarbeasts .
"Here they are . " Anfey heaved a sigh of relief . Since the Shansa Empire’s soldiers were here, it meant their plan had worked very well . Rotting chemicals worked . It was showtime .
The cavalry in the Eyes of Sky sped up . Not long after, Anfey could hear their loud hoof beats . Anfey jumped off the tree and leaned against the giant rock . He looked forward lazily . Suzanna and Christian jumped off the tree as well and stood by Anfey’s side .
They could already see the cavalry coming . It looked like they had sped up even more . Maybe it was because Anfey’s spot was too obvious . Those soldiers rode with lightning speed into the empty area and directly rushed toward Anfey .
Anfey looked casually, with his eyes squinted, but he felt something was strange .
The riders did not rein their horses until they were only 24 feet away from Anfey . They all stopped together, and a guy who looked like their leader stepped out . He looked up and down at Anfey after he noticed Anfey did not seem to be affected by their presence . "Hey, man, are you in charge of this town?"
"Yes, what do you want?" Anfey said .
"Answer me carefully . Tell me . Are there many boarbeasts in your town?" the leader asked .
"Why do you care whether we have boarbeasts?" Anfey was getting a little mad . There was no such scene in his plan . That leader was too rude .
The guards standing not far from them started to laugh . They were definitely the soldiers of the Country of Mercenaries . Seeing other countries’ soldiers so arrogant and rude, they were disgusted by it . They became mean in turn .
"What is wrong with that guy?" a guard said .
"Yes, what is wrong with him?" another combative guard said, "We raised those boarbeasts, not you . Who gave you the right to yell at us?"
Guards laughed . That leader looked mad and said coldly to Anfey, "Are they your subordinates? You’d better ask them behave themselves . Don’t you understand evils come out of the mouth?"
"I think your mom needs to behave first . " Anfey looked even colder than that other leader . No matter what roles he played, Anfey had given a lot of thought to that role’s attitude, identity, personality, and how that role would handle things . People would only believe it if he could understand and act out all of those traits . As the lowest level of administrator in the Country of Mercenaries, a town mayor, Anfey did not need to be scared by Shansa Empire’s military . Even if Anfey had to fight with them, they would not have criminal charges . It was just a political confrontation . Shansa Empire’s soldier would not dare to cause any trouble at this very moment . Looking at this confrontation from the other side, if the town mayor was not brave enough to face a confrontation, then how could he be a town mayor . The Country of Mercenaries was very competitive, a place where everyone respects the people who were strong and powerful . If Anfey was scared by men on horseback, it would raise the red flag .
The guards laughed even more after they heard what Anfey said back to that leader . A few of them laughed so hard that they fell on the ground and rolled . Suzanna almost lost it as well . She had to turn around and bite her lip to control herself .
"You…" That leader’s face turned purple . He pulled the sword out and radiated strong combat power .
"So? Are you going to rob us? Come on!" Anfey yelled, "Bros, get ready!"
Guards rushed forward together . Suzanna pulled her sword out, coldly looking at the leader . Christian flew to the sky . Intense magic surges flashed in the sky . The girls in the room ducked out one after another . Every one of them had a stick in their hands . Some sticks are longer than others . However, they looked scared and anxious . This was not what they usually did . From the rear of the town, mages flew into the sky one after another . It was hard to tell their magic levels, but the magic surges gathered over there were super strong .
