Chapter 32 Commitment
Just as Locke was about to do something, he suddenly stopped and leaned back in his chair.

"Lord Locke, the five captains, Gaske, Cross, Marek, Berkeley, and Dahl, have arrived."

"Well, let them in."

After getting Locke's permission, the five captains of the Tsunami Legion entered the tent one after another and bowed slightly to Locke.

"Lord Locke."

After the five people entered Locke's tent, the first thing they saw was a man tied to a wooden yoke.

This situation made the five captains feel uneasy.

Is it because they offended Lord Locke last time, so Lord Locke wants to torture them like he tortured this guy?

still is……

However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they dared not show it in front of Locke.

"Well, you're here."

Locke glanced at the five people. The guards in the tent had already mentioned the names of these five captains.

However, this was the first time Locke knew the names of the five of them, and the guard said them all at the same time, so Locke couldn't tell who was who among the five of them for a moment, and couldn't match the people with the names at all.

However, Locke was not in a hurry to figure it out. If nothing unexpected happened, the future of the five of them would be tied to his own.

"After thinking about it for the past few days, I have decided to become the Grand Duke of this territory."

"I was not in the camp a few days ago. I went to the imperial capital to report the victory in the battle with the Temple of Light to His Majesty Ceres."

"And as you wished, His Majesty Ceres has granted me this territory."

"From now on, this territory will be renamed 'Lock Territory'."

Gasike and the other four looked at each other, and joy appeared in their eyes.

This time, we made the right bet!
"Congratulations, Lord Locke, on becoming the Grand Duke."

"Gask, Cross, Marek, Berkeley, Dahl."

"My subordinate is here."

Hearing Locke's name, Gaske and the other four immediately responded loudly.

"Now, the five of you will immediately begin to build Locke Territory."

"I hope that you can build a city that can accommodate more than one million people within half a year without affecting the lives of the people in Locke Territory."

"This is the first task I give you. I hope you will take my words to heart."

"Once the city is built, I will grant you noble titles based on your performance in this mission."

"Yes, Lord Locke."

After getting Locke's promise, Gaske and the other four were overjoyed. They knelt on one knee in front of Locke and expressed their loyalty to him.

"Lord Locke, let's start preparing now."

The five excited people, after swearing allegiance to Locke, planned to immediately begin to complete the task assigned by Lord Locke.

After all, Lord Locke had said that after the city was built, he would confer titles on himself and others.

The title of nobility is their lifelong pursuit!
If they were not afraid of disturbing the people in the territory and causing Lord Locke's displeasure, they could have issued labor within the territory and let the young and strong people in the territory build the city.

In this way, the task assigned by Lord Locke can be completed in one month at most.

However, since Lord Locke has already pushed the time to half a year and said that it should not affect the normal life of the people in the territory, they naturally cannot do so. However, this is not a problem for them.

In order to complete the construction of Lord Locke's Mansion earlier and allow themselves and others to obtain the title of nobility earlier, they felt that the soldiers under their command could also contribute their own efforts to the construction of the city.

The soldiers in the Tsunami Legion are at least intermediate fighters of level three. If they were used to build a city, each of them would be a high-quality laborer who could be worth ten people.

Of course, even if the five of them are the captains of the Tsunami Legion, they must give something if they want their soldiers to participate in building the city.

Otherwise, the team will become demoralized and difficult to lead.

At this time, they no longer thought there was anything wrong with Lord Locke keeping a tortured prisoner in his tent.

"Well, you go ahead."

After waving his hand, Locke waited until Gaske and the other four left before turning his gaze to the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light.

"You, what do you want to do?"

The Knight Commander of the Temple of Light was frightened by Locke's gaze and asked tremblingly, "You just said that you won't force me to question you."

"Don't go back on your word..."

Unfortunately, Locke now simply ignored his words.

In Locke's eyes, this guy is definitely the most suitable experimental subject for direct training at this stage.

Closing his eyes, Locke released his mental power, which instantly rushed towards the Knight Commander.

Locke is now at the peak of the Holy Domain, and this Knight Commander even reached the Holy Domain realm with the help of the Lord of Light Augusta.

Although his mental power has reached the level of a seventh-level magician, this level of mental power has no defensive power at all in front of Locke.

Just like bursting a bubble, Locke's mental power did not encounter any effective resistance at all.

Locke's mental power easily entered the soul space of the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light.

This situation did not surprise Locke.

After all, there are not many people who can master soul attacks at the Sanctuary stage.

This guy is just a sanctuary that was created. He may not even have figured out the essence of "harmony between man and nature", let alone mobilizing his mental power to launch soul attacks or defenses.

"So weak..."

Shaking his head, Locke's mental power condensed into his own appearance in this guy's soul space and slowly moved forward.

For every living being, when its strength reaches the holy realm, the soul power will condense into something, which is the "essence" of its own soul.

Just like the four major rule magic, one needs to possess the corresponding "essence" in order to practice it.

For example, if the thing condensed from the soul is a weapon, then this person can be considered to have the qualifications to practice the rules of destruction.

If the soul condenses into a plant, then it can be considered that this person has the qualifications to practice the rules of life.

What is condensed is the bones of some creature, and this person has the qualifications to practice the rules of death.

If it is a book, then this person may have the qualifications to practice the rules of destiny.

The soul of this Knight Commander is condensed into a faint flame.

Locke slowly walked forward to the center of the Knight Commander's soul, and stretched out his hand towards the faint flame...
