Before finally leaving the place, Leo didn't forget to destroy all the Chaos Mana, which is something he could do aside from controlling them. After all, he doesn't want to leave any traces of it around the place.
Unfortunately, he was unable to turn them into Chaos Orbs anymore because there were a lot of people watching, so destroying it was the only option he could choose to do.
Anyways, it wasn't really that much, since he had only lost 4 Chaos Orbs, though, considering how many Magical Beasts the Chaos Mana have killed, he can't help feeling a bit of a heartache since he could have created more Chaos Orbs out from it.
.....
As soon as the sky brightens by a bit, the three Green Eagle Flyingboats finally see the silhouette of the Sandy Town in front of them.
At this moment, Leo was already awake after sleeping for 3 hours or so. He walked up to the front of the Green Eagle Flyingboat as he stared at the territory of Sandy Town.
Sandy Town was a 50 kilometers square size territory, surrounded by thick and strong stone walls with a few hundreds of war weapons on top, specifically cannons, catapults, and crossbows. It has a clock tower at the center, an industrial area at its west, farmland that could hardly be called farmland at the south, and both the east and north were fully dedicated to defending the town from the Magical Beasts living in the Sun Desert.
Moreover, there are only two gates around Sandy Town, which are located at the north and south. Additionally, there is basically no residential district as all of the residential houses for the townspeople were just randomly located inside the Sandy Town.
According to the information they have learned, the businesses in Sandy Town were mostly of local goods made by the townspeople as well, with a few from traveling merchants and from Silver Kingdom. But since the Silver Kingdom was at war, a few days ago that lasted nearly a month's time, then it's easy to guess that they could only rely on local goods and traveling merchants, which would most likely cause their territory to experience a bit of food and supply shortage.
The person managing this territory was a man called Mayor Jong, a 7 Star Mage from the Sand race.
Base on the information about Mayor Jong, this person was actually a peace-loving man who hates war and such, maybe that's the reason why there weren't any people from the Sand race during the war in Silver Kingdom. No, actually, aside from Humans, there were practically no other Foreign races present in the camp of the Silver royal family. Only in the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance could one be able to find someone from the Foreign races, specifically the Hybrids.
Apparently, Mayor Jong only focuses on the Sand race living in the Sandy Town, keeping them safe and away from harm while at the same time giving them a good life to live in Sandy Town.
Because of that, Mayor Jong has managed the Sandy Town from the moment he replaced the last Mayor until today, specifically more than 10 years now. It was really rare to see such a situation because most of the cases the Mayor would always be replaced since it's really hard to satisfy everyone living in the territory. But in Sandy Town, it seems to not be the case at all, obviously implying just how capable Mayor Jong was in managing Sandy Town.
Sandy Town has a total population of more than 20 thousand people, specifically 15 thousand of that were from the Sand race while the other 5 thousand were a mix of Human race and other Foreign races.
"Prepare to dock," Leo exclaimed to inform the Captains of the three Green Eagle Flyingboats.
Soon, the three Green Eagle Flyingboats slowly hover down to dock outside of the Sandy Town.
Although it was much safer inside Sandy Town, but due to the fact that there was no proper place to land Flyingboats, that's why they can only choose to land outside.
Before the door of the Green Eagle Flyingboat could open, Lex and Virgil approached Leo as they gave him a letter.
"What's this?" Leo asked.
"Queen Olivia said to give this letter to Mayor Jong. I think this is a new contract for an alliance to the new Silver Kingdom." Lex replied.
Leo opened the letter as he began reading the content of the so-called contract for the alliance.
In the letter, it was specifically mentioned that once Mayor Jong of the Sandy Town, signed this alliance contract, then the Sandy Town would still remain as an ally to the Silver Kingdom, which is now called Lionheart Kingdom, although it had changed to a new ruler, the Heart royal family.
It was really a simple and straightforward alliance contract, hence the meaning of not signing this alliance contract is very clear to see as well.
If Mayor Jong of Sandy Town won't sign the alliance contract, then they would certainly be asked to leave their territory peacefully as soon as possible, or else the Lionheart Kingdom wouldn't have any choice anymore but to use force so that they will leave.
It was also mentioned in the alliance contract that the territory of the Sandy Town would belong to the Lionheart Kingdom once they started expanding their territory to the Sun Desert.
Leo closed the letter after finishing reading the alliance contract. He thought in his mind, "With this kind of alliance contract, no doubt Mayor Jong would sign it."
The new alliance contract might sound really disadvantageous for the Sandy Town, considering that they would only be a temporary ally as in the future the Sandy Town would end up becoming a part of Silver Kingdom... No, it is now called the Lionheart Kingdom. But the truth is, once the Sandy Town will actually become a part of the Lionheart Kingdom, they would no longer need to live such a hard life, similar to the way they are living right now.
The Sandy Town was a territory that doesn't belong to any Kingdom or Empire, meaning they only got themselves to rely on in improving everything that concerns their Sandy Town. Because of that, when they have problems such as a powerful Magical Beast hoard attacking them, a shortage of supply in food, water, materials, and other necessary items, and even a need of manpower, they would need to think of a solution for that problem themselves.
Of course, Sandy Town could still ask for help from others, but that would require a lot of money and other things with value. Sometimes, they would even get abused or treated unfairly when asking for help due to the obvious fact that if no one helps them, they would only have themselves to rely on. In other words, other people will take advantage of their desperation.
However, all of that would change once Mayor Jong signed the new alliance contract from the Lionheart Kingdom.
Their living condition would definitely improve, as they would no longer need to constantly worry about the Magical Beasts of the Sun Desert, since the Lionheart Kingdom would surely station some of their soldiers in the Sandy Town to defend them.
Aside from that, their problem about food shortage and the others due to living in the desert would easily be solved as well.
Moreover, this would also mean that the Sand race could now enter Lionheart Kingdom and find some jobs or work to earn more money for themselves and in turn improve their lifestyle and other necessary stuff.
And the most important of all, they could finally expand their territory, and even much better, they will have a much bigger chance to officially become a City. Additionally, with them being part of the Lionheart Kingdom, those people with great capability who lives in the Sandy Town would also finally have a chance to become a Noble Household and will eventually receive benefits to help the Sand race living in the Sandy Town.
The most simplest way to describe this alliance contract was; this is an olive branch presented by the Lionheart Kingdom to the Sand race of the Sandy Town.
To be honest, the Sandy Town could have long actually been a part of the Silver Kingdom in the past, since Mayor Jong had proposed such an idea to the Silver royal family for a very long time now. But due to the fact that a lot of people from the Silver Kingdom like to discriminate against others from the Foreign races, especially those that are much weaker than them, the Silver royal family could only keep on delaying this proposition. In the end, the Silver royal family was replaced by the Heart Noble Household.
The fortunate thing though, the Sandy Town's proposition finally has the chance of getting accepted.
"Then let's go!" Leo motioned his hand before disembarking from the Green Eagle Flyingboat.
As soon as he got out, he was immediately greeted by Mayor Jong of the Sandy Town and a few Sand race guards with the cultivation of 4 Star surrounding him. They were riding on top of an obviously tamed 1 Star Red Lizard.
"Are you Mayor Jong of the Sandy Town?" Leo pretended not to know Mayor Jong so as to express that he was sent by someone to come.
"Yes, I'm Mayor Jong San of the Sandy Town. May I know what this great person's intention for coming to our humble territory?" Mayor Jong asked respectfully. With how long he has served as the Mayor of the Sandy Town, he had long learned already that only powerful people or people with high status could use Flyingboats, especially if it came from the direction of the territory of the Silver Kingdom.
"Great, then I can finish this task quickly," Leo smiled as he pretended to take out the alliance contract for the first time inside his Storage Ring. He said, "You should have long heard about the war going on from Silver Kingdom, right?"
Hearing Leo mentioned the word 'War in Silver Kingdom,' Mayor Jong's heart immediately tightens as he could already expect what that letter was all about. He thought, "Are they here to request help from the Sandy Town? Considering that I've signed an alliance with them a few years ago, then that's most likely going to be the case."
To be honest, Mayor Jong had long already expected that a day would come when the Silver Kingdom would use them for something. He just didn't expect that it would actually be today, and more importantly, it's actually going to be about war, the word he hated the most.
"Yes..." Mayor Jong replied, a bit depressed.
