Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Kota's hair stood on end in an instant, and an unprecedented sense of crisis engulfed him like an icy tide.

He felt a chill run down his spine, every nerve stretched to the limit.

His eyes darted around, desperately trying to find the potential threat in the bustling crowd.

Everywhere he looked, he saw unfamiliar and ordinary faces, with no signs of anything unusual.

"Are you looking for me?" the red-haired man with the cross-shaped scar suddenly asked, raising his head. His voice wasn't loud,

but it was like a thunderclap in Kota's ears.

The cross-shaped scar didn't make the man terrifying; instead, it added a touch of indescribable heroism.

The scar was like a unique medal, embedded on his resolute face, adding a bit of unruliness and boldness.

His red hair burned like fire, shining brightly in the sunlight, and his eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could see through everything.

Kota looked down at the man, who was about 1.6 meters tall, already considered tall in the island country.

The man's figure wasn't particularly prominent in the crowd, but he exuded a unique aura.

"The aura of a cyborg is truly disgusting," the man with the cross-shaped scar suddenly said, frowning.

His words were full of disgust and disdain, as if Kota were a repulsive object.

Kota's body suddenly swelled up, his muscles bulging, veins popping, and his eyes glared fiercely at the man.

He was like an enraged beast, ready to pounce and tear.

"What do you want?" he roared, his voice filled with threat and provocation.

The man with the cross-shaped scar suddenly raised his hand, the hilt of his knife accurately hitting Kota's abdomen.

The strike seemed weak, but it contained unimaginable power.

Kota felt a sharp pain, as if struck by a heavy hammer, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Outlander, I was just asking if you were looking for me. Your tone is unacceptable," the man with the cross-shaped scar said, reprimanding Kota before turning to leave. His steps were unhurried, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial interlude.

Kota lay on the ground, disheveled and miserable, staring resentfully at the man's back, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.

But when the man turned to look at him, he quickly lowered his head, the resentment in his eyes instantly replaced by fear.

"I will kill you all sooner or later," he vowed silently in his heart, but at that moment, he could only breathe weakly on the ground, watching the figure of the man with the cross-shaped scar gradually disappear into the crowd.

The Earldom of Stuart is located in the Fobol region, at the intersection of the Northwestern and Central Provinces.

The Earldom of Stuart occupies nearly one-third of the Fobol region, with a second-tier city within its territory, with a population of over 200,000, and two third-tier cities with populations of 30,000 to 50,000 each.

In addition to several towns and villages, the total population under its jurisdiction exceeds 500,000. If placed in the Northwest, the population of many regions would be no more than that.

Its geographical location is important, as it is a key area connecting the Northwest and Central regions.

The second-tier city with a population of over 200,000 is commercially prosperous, with bustling streets and a wide variety of shops.

The two third-tier cities, although smaller in scale, each have their own characteristics, with stable industries and active markets.

Under the governance of Earl Stuart, agriculture in the Earldom of Stuart is well-developed, with vast farmlands,

and abundant resources.

The handicraft industry is also quite large, and the products produced are popular in the surrounding areas.

Of course, these are all on the surface. In secret, Earl Stuart also controls several other territories in the Fobol region, including the territory once belonging to Empress Elizabeth's maternal clan, now renamed the Barony of Pafubang.

Because it is located in the mountains, it was very poor and backward before the discovery of iron ore, but after the discovery of iron ore, it quickly developed into a mining city.

The Empire's mining technology is relatively primitive, mainly targeting surface weathered residual, accumulated ore, and iron ore on riverbanks for mining.

This mining method mainly relies on open-pit mining, that is, directly using rods to pry open stone crevices at the surface outcrop, and then using fire blasting to break the ore, thereby extracting the ore.

Although the mining technology is primitive, with abundant mineral resources, the iron ore production of the Barony of Pafubang is still considerable.

These ores not only supply the Empire's needs but are also sold to other regions, accumulating substantial capital for Earl Stuart.

Solon and Hilting stood on the hillside, looking at the busy mine, lost in thought.

Duffy appeared from somewhere, holding a document in his hand: "The Pafubang mine produces more than 3,000 tons of ore annually, but because the mining method is too violent, miners die every year. In three years, mine slaves have not been enough to maintain the operation of the mine, and they have begun to recruit foreign miners on a large scale. Now there are less than 500 mine slaves in the mine, but there are thousands of miners."

"

Solon suddenly laughed, grabbed Duffy's neck, and whispered in his ear.

Duffy's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Your Highness, I know what to do. Leave the rest to me!"

Solon nodded with a smile.

Hilting looked at the two curiously and asked, "What are you plotting?"

Solon smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a secret. You'll know soon enough."

Duffy turned and left in a hurry. Solon and Hilting continued to watch the mine, their expressions different.

Solon's eyes flashed with a determined light, while Hilting looked puzzled and worried.

The mountain wind blew, their clothes fluttering in the wind. In front of this busy and unknown mine, it seemed to foreshadow an impending storm.

Three days later, Solon led his entourage into the Fobol region in a grand manner, attracting the attention of many nobles in the Fobol region. Earl Stuart even came out to greet him in person.

Solon was seen riding a tall steed, wearing gorgeous clothes, with a well-organized army behind him, flags flying.

Earl Stuart greeted him with a smile, quickly stepping forward.

"Your Highness's visit is a great honor to my humble Fobol region!" Earl Stuart said respectfully.

Solon smiled slightly and said, "Earl, you are too kind. I came here this time to learn more about the customs and practices of the Fobol region."

Earl Stuart nodded quickly, "It is our honor to have Your Highness here. I will definitely cooperate fully."

The surrounding nobles whispered to each other, speculating about the purpose of Solon's visit.
