Degantim City, the capital of the Xige Empire.

After the disaster brought by the last rebellion of the princess, this ancient capital with a long history has become dilapidated.

The eldest prince who was found by the legends of the Xige Empire from the border town successfully succeeded to the emperor of the Xige Empire.

At this time, the new emperor was furious in his own palace.

He cursed at the officials and nobles in the hall:

"You greedy rats, despicable parasites, how dare you do such a thing?"

Facing the emperor's spit that was almost sprayed on his face, the officials and nobles present either bowed their heads in silence, or had no expression, or showed shame, or implied disdain...

The reason why Monroe was so angry was because these guys had caused a shocking scandal.

Three months ago, a flood occurred in the south of the Xige Empire. Monroe, who heard about this, immediately decided to allocate money for disaster relief.

Due to the last disaster, the Sig Empire almost emptied the treasury in order to rebuild the city of Deccantim.

Therefore, the money and grain allocated for this flood can be said to have completely drained the last bit of money from the treasury and the emperor's coffers.

Fortunately, Deccantim City has the [Phase Transmission Device] installed by Manolin, which has made the Sig Empire and Emperor Monroe earn a lot of money during this period, otherwise the Sig Empire and Monroe would really be poor and need to beg for food.

But such a sum of money and grain that the Sig Empire and the emperor tightened their belts to take out did not fall into the hands of the victims at all.

Originally, Monroe naturally knew the morality of these nobles and officials. It was not too much for him to turn a blind eye to such behaviors as "new grain for old grain", "old grain for coarse grain", and "coarse grain mixed with sand".

But this time these guys really went too far.

The cash allocated by Monroe was directly divided up by these guys on the spot, and they did not transport supplies such as grain to the disaster area at all, but directly resold them.

In this way, the people in the disaster area did not receive a penny of aid.

If that was all, Monroe would be angry but would not have cursed so shamelessly.

What really made him unable to hold back was that he had no idea what these officials and nobles had done in the nearly three months since the allocation of funds.

If it weren't for the refugees in the disaster area who fled to Deccantim City, he, the emperor, would have been kept in the dark by these guys.

This made Monroe feel like a clown, fooled by everyone.

"Huff, huh, huh..."

Monroe, panting heavily because of extreme anger, sat on the throne.

Feeling the surging power of the mechanical heart "moving" the blood in his body quickly, he slowly calmed down.

He knew that it was useless for him to curse these officials and nobles now. In more than three months, those people who were supposed to die of starvation and disease in the flooded areas had almost all died of starvation and disease, and the remaining people were likely to have started to rebuild their homes.

This made Monroe feel quite powerless.

There are only two things he can do now.

One is to provide a batch of materials to help the refugees rebuild their homes.

The other is to settle accounts with the nobles and officials involved in this incident.

But both of these things are very difficult for him.

Most of his former trusted subordinates died in the battle for the throne, and the shadow organization belonging to his sister was also liquidated, which made him a "blind and lame" emperor.

In this case, even if he once again allocated a batch of materials to the disaster area, it is highly unlikely that it will reach the hands of the victims.

As for the liquidation of the nobles and officials of those facilities, it is even more impossible.

The people in charge of this disaster relief all disappeared strangely after the incident.

I don't know if these people are hiding or being silenced.

But for Monroe, to some extent, this matter has been "dead without evidence".

With the few reliable people he has now, how can he deal with the huge forces colluded by officials and nobles?

Originally, he could have asked the legends to help, but the problem was that he didn't trust the legends of noble origin, and he didn't have enough chips to hire "individual" legends. As for the "family" legends, they were too busy looking for the traces of the demigod devil to care about such "small matters".

...

With anger, Monroe returned to his residence.

He saw the tea sets on the table and wanted to overturn them all.

But he thought about his current financial situation and the price of the tea set, and finally gave up this unwise idea.After sitting in the chair and thinking for a while, he finally called the guards and ordered:

"Go and invite... Mr. Big Spider... to come."

Manolin sent his four legendary combat forces to the "four empires" of the old continent.

Fedisades and Powell naturally chose to "go home" this time, while Limt wandered around the kingdoms that were once split from the Fafnir Empire.

As for Big Spider, he was sent to the Sig Empire.

And Monroe was naturally very welcoming to the men of his savior.

As soon as Big Spider and his little brother arrived in the Sig Empire, they enjoyed the treatment of VIPs.

Therefore, after learning of Monroe's invitation, the comfortable Big Spider, who was served with good food and drink, came over very happily.

...

"Mr. Big Spider, please come in."

Facing a legendary strongman, even if this strongman is an extraordinary creature, Monroe gave full respect.

"Please have some tea."

He directed the guards to push out a bucket full of tea and placed it in front of the big spider.

The big spider extended a mechanical tentacle from its body and handed the bucket of tea to its mouth.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty Monroe, what do you want me to do?"

The big spider said while drinking tea.

Hearing this, Monroe rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said:

"It's like this, I want to ask you for a small favor..."

After repeating the story of the disaster victims, he continued:

"I want to ask Mr. Manolin to lend me some money and supplies, and then ask you and your men to transport these supplies to the disaster area."

"Don't worry, I will immediately hand over the loan and your reward with both hands when I have the money."

Monroe made this request because he was forced to do so. There was really no other way.

He didn't have many trustworthy people under his command, so it was almost impossible for him to transport the relief supplies to the disaster area safely.

Therefore, he could only ask for external help.

As for Big Spider, he naturally had no say in this matter, so he contacted Manolin using the built-in communicator.
