The Duke of Ancient Wood paused slightly, somewhat hesitant.
Luo De looked at his expression and smiled,
"Earlier, you said you'd pledge your loyalty to me."
"Are you already questioning my orders now?"
"No, Your Majesty,"
The Duke of Ancient Wood hurriedly said, "It's just..."
He glanced at the giant dragon spiraling in front, then at Luo De, hesitating to speak.
"Do you think I would take the sapling of the Life Tree and leave, abandoning you all?"
Luo De said with a smile, "The Emperor's credibility is far more important than your life."
"Even if those ghouls attack again, I can take you away safely."
Luo De paid no heed and turned to look at the figures in dark green robes beside him.
"Are you all followers of the Life and Nature Church?"
"Great Emperor of the Flame Dragon, may nature bless you."
The members of the Church bowed slightly in salute.
Luo De nodded slightly, having a good impression of them.
