Chapter 941: Who is This Commander You Mentioned?
This person was none other than old Kevin, who had been managing them for the past two months.
Although two months wasn't enough time for Kevin to make everyone familiar with him.
But as long as one lived here, they had more or less seen the other party.
No matter what, old Kevin was considered their 'provider of food and clothing'. Asking around a bit and getting to know him certainly had no drawbacks.
They just didn't know why this Lord Marquis elevated old Kevin.
"I believe the people in the front rows should have all seen the matter with the magic array."
Saying so, Lan Qingyou waved her hand.
A Sky Screen appeared in the sky above everyone's heads.
And on the Sky Screen was a close-up of the emblem on old Kevin's left hand.
"Its main function is to allow you to see your current physical condition very clearly and intuitively."
"At the same time, this emblem can also allow a person who knows nothing about magic or martial skills to instantly become a Magician or Magic Knight."
"And as a gift for everyone becoming members of the Knight Order, everyone can receive it."
Boom—!!!
Upon hearing that the result of this research actually had this kind of function.
The ten thousand people below immediately went into an uproar.
But it wasn't surprising.
After all, the number of people among these ten thousand who could use magic and martial skills was just a small handful.
Although the rest also had magic power in their bodies.
They hadn't systematically learned about magic or martial skills.
So after hearing there was such a great thing, every one of them was eager to try.
Originally, being able to become a member of the Knight Order was already very good.
They never expected there would actually be such a welfare benefit.
Although this was also the rightful compensation for their participation in the research.
But one must know that sometimes compensation could also be cashed out.
For example, some Alchemists, in order to prevent their research results from leaking or being exposed prematurely, would choose to give a high bonus.
Although not all Alchemists were like this.
But there was no doubt that a research result of this level was indeed not something ordinary people like them could get their hands on.
How could this not make them feel joyous?
One must know that out of these ten thousand people, at least eight or nine thousand were treated as negative assets by their original lords and transported to Maple Leaf Territory to make a living more than two months ago.
As a result, more than two months later, they actually had such a good opportunity.
However, Lan Qingyou's next words poured a basin of cold water on the excited them.
"It seems everyone likes it very much."
"Then I'll say something everyone won't like."
Seeing these guys so happy, Lan Qingyou decided to make them sweat a little.
So, with a grin, she slowly modified the gravity on the drill ground.
"Because of the importance of this personal emblem, it's impossible to give it to everyone for free."
"Its functions, in addition to the ones I mentioned earlier, will also manage everyone's mind."
"This makes everyone only able to be loyal to the Commander."
"I know there are spies from other countries among you, spies from this country, and even corporate spies."
"But I must remind everyone."
"If anyone intends to do something detrimental to the Knight Order, detrimental to the Commander, or detrimental to the entire Maple Leaf Territory."
"Then the emblem will automatically dissipate."
"And as the price for its dissipation, your lives will also come to an end."
Lan Qingyou said word by word.
With every sentence she said, the gravity increased a little.
This caused the bodies of the people below, who were originally still rejoicing, to each become heavy.
Those who originally had no ulterior motives were slightly better off.
They were just sweating profusely, that's all.
But those who were 'singled out' by Lan Qingyou weren't so optimistic.
Although the pressure they bore was the same as the others.
But because their mental activities were more active, they felt more tired.
After all.
They had all come to be sleeper spies.
As a result, they actually had to face this kind of literally 'fatal' matter.
What kind of situation was this!
"However, everyone doesn't need to panic either."
"As long as everyone doesn't do anything detrimental to Maple Leaf Territory and remains resolutely loyal to the Commander, then nothing will happen."
Seeing that the expressions on most people's faces hadn't changed much.
Lan Qingyou gave everyone a reassurance pill.
This put most people's minds at ease.
After all, they just wanted to have a stable life.
Now as long as they joined the Knight Order and were loyal to the Marquis and Maple Leaf Territory, then everything would be fine.
It only made things difficult for those spies who came to gather intelligence.
Because they were now facing a choice.
Leave.
That was certainly impossible.
Anyone with a bit of magic combat experience could see that the pressure currently on them was given by this Marquis flying in the sky.
If they wanted to leave, this ruthless character definitely wouldn't let them off easily.
Taking a step back.
Even if the other party let them go.
Going back would just mean they could only send out this piece of intelligence.
But!
Who would be willing to miss such an opportunity for advancement?
It was nothing more than exchanging loyalty for power.
To tell the truth.
For spies like them, apart from those cultivated by families, it was impossible for the rest to obtain anything even if they wanted to offer their loyalty.
After all, no one would sincerely trust mercenary-style spies.
And now there was such a thing that didn't rely on subjective judgment, just an emblem, or rather, a magic that could make people trust them.
Then what did sacrificing a little degree of freedom mean to them?
Thus.
Among these spies.
Apart from those cultivated by families, even those spies from other countries no longer had the thought of leaving.
Wasn't it good to peacefully obtain strength?
Moreover, this Knight Order had just been established in the first place.
It could be said that it had no structure whatsoever.
Staying behind, with their own abilities and previous experience as mercenaries and spies, maybe they could even mix in a position as an officer.
Even if they couldn't throw their weight around, it was still better than the life where they didn't know where their next meal was coming from.
Not to mention that those who were spies more or less had enemies.
This gave them even less reason to leave.
"Alright, it seems everyone has made their choice."
"Then start lining up to enter the magic array and receive your emblem now."
Following Lan Qingyou's command.
Those people who were originally eager to try all walked up and began to step into the magic array one by one.
Although ten thousand people was a lot.
But the time it took to engrave an emblem on one person actually only needed one or two seconds.
Counting the time to switch people, it was only about five seconds.
Calculating it, it would take about a dozen hours for all ten thousand people to be fully engraved.
Anyway, the magic array had already been activated by little Feng.
So little Feng didn't need to keep standing at all.
"Your Excellency Marquis, I have a question."
Kevin, whose mouth was already somewhat dry from Lan Qingyou's previous speech and floating in the air the whole time, looked at Lan Qingyou with a hoarse voice.
"Who is this Commander you mentioned?"
