Broad World

On the afternoon after the agreement was reached, Mrs. Brila read out the re-forged suicide note, and then left Soba overnight, accompanied by only a few cronies and the remaining wealth of the Silver Shield family. top-point-fiction

She has already decided to live in the relatively safer city of Bruwente. The recent wars have left too much psychological shadow on this woman.

With this will, Henry announced in public that the Principality of Silver Shield and the Principality of Dalaran had officially merged, and the new country was called the Kingdom of West Hartland. He no longer needs to hide his ambitions, and declares his ownership of this huge territory to all his neighbors. While an ultimatum has yet to be officially delivered to the remaining towns and villages, everyone knows that day is not too far away.

After obtaining a large amount of weapons, armor, and food, the orc chief Fugner led his army across the Bariscal Bridge and marched towards the designated location. Accompanied by more than 30 mages and craftsmen, their job is to help the orcs build a fortress city that can accommodate about 20,000 people before winter.

Of course, this huge project is not easy, but with the help of the strong army division, it should be barely completed. After all, the city wall does not need to be made of the hardest granite like the Mage Tower. As long as it is strong enough, it doesn't matter if it is ordinary stone. Therefore, it only needs to summon a large number of earth elementals or small earth elementals to meet most needs.

After Corey left some soldiers to maintain Soba's safety, he divided the other men into four teams and began to eliminate remnants, monsters, and bandits entrenched in various places. We must know that after this war. The land north of the Chongsa River can be said to be full of wars. Many guys who wanted to take the opportunity to grab a ticket jumped out.

Among them are monsters like giants, ogres, bear goblins, hobgoblins, trolls. There are also speculators like humans, dwarves, half-elves, and gnomes. In short, if these guys are not cleaned up, there is no way to send officials, let alone implement effective rule.

In order to achieve the desired effect, Corey equipped each team with enough rangers, thieves, mages, and druids. It is believed that with the help of these tracking experts, the banditry will be completely quelled in about two to three months, and everything will be restored to order.

As for the two giant dragons and Shandier, they were given a new mission to monitor and wait for an opportunity to eliminate the green dragons entrenched in the dragon forest. You must know that this forest is too close to Soba, only less than a day away. If you fly, I'm afraid you won't even be able to use it for two hours.

Green dragon, among the five-color giant dragons, the evil dragon whose strength ranks in the middle. Their emerald or olive green scales blend in well with the forest and are hard to spot without looking carefully. These guys like to lose their temper very much, and they may attack the targets of interest at any time, especially like to press the adventurers to learn all kinds of information.

Although it is uncertain how many green dragons there are in the dragon forest, it is conservatively estimated that there should be no less than eight. The eight giant dragons, even if they are all young dragons who have just grown up or have not yet grown up. are enough to cause massive damage.

As a somewhat dictatorial ruler, Henry couldn't bear that his city had to face this kind of threat all the time. He felt like a great sorcerer who was about to become a legend. In addition to the two newly grown dragons, they should be able to kill or even capture a few green dragons if they see the opportunity. For this reason, they specially took out the sub-artifact "Mithril Chain of Sorrow".

In order to increase the enthusiasm of one person and two dragons, Henry also promised to allow them to do anything to the captives. In addition, half of the spoils in the dragon's lair can also be taken as a reward. Upon hearing these words, Shandier's eyes immediately shot a strange brilliance. She is very interested in being able to study the habits and physiological structure of the green dragon herself.

The black dragon Oroxis and the brown dragon Ortagus showed greedy and sinister smiles on their faces. They obviously came up with some very bad ideas, such as robbery, robbery, robbery, and robbery. Of course, if they meet a beautiful female dragon, it would be good to robbery by the way.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Henry came to a secret basement with the two iron throne executives who had defected and Fat Cat. He glanced at the people who were a little nervous, and with a slight arc on the corner of his mouth, he lowered his voice and said:

"Everyone, I don't want to say too many polite words. The main purpose of today is to carry out a huge plan, which will not only allow you to earn more wealth, but also get the rights you dream of. Yes, really Entitlement, not as it is now, merely as a pathetic proxy."

"I have to say, your words are quite touching. However, Miss Sarah Brightman and I are both experienced people. We only believe in what we can really get. Anyway, there is no other way to go." Dick shrugged shrugged and said.

Although he is only in his early thirties, he is completely immune to this kind of painted pie. After all, the core of the Iron Throne is the unscrupulous businessman. In this intriguing environment, it is easy to develop a character that does not trust anyone but himself.

Henry smiled, and spread out a map on the table. "First of all, I need to know the scope of activities of the forces behind you, please mark it here."

"No problem." As he spoke, Dick picked up the quill on the table, dipped some ink, and drew a circle on Tumis. The defected red-robed wizard Sarah Brightman also drew a circle around Tethyr and Calimshan without saying a word. The eyes of both of them were a little puzzled, and they didn't know what the meaning of this move was.

"It's very interesting. As far as I know, Tumis should be a republic. Dick, aren't the businessmen behind you planning to stage a coup there?" Henry saw the problem at a glance, half-jokingly asked in a tone of voice.

He has read the history of Tumis, and knows that this country has maintained a unique parliamentary republic since the paladin Kewen Foles killed the brutal ruler, the blue dragon Anaglaises, in 1247 dr. . The reason for the birth of this system is ridiculous. The reason is that Cowen feels very uncomfortable with politics and wants to get rid of the troubles caused by rights. He created this very interesting system.

However, the republic obviously harmed the interests of many people. The paladin was assassinated in a coup d'etat in 1254 dr. But due to the intervention of some external forces, the coup failed in the end. Of course, the supporters of the monarchy did not give up because of this. They quietly lurked to accumulate strength, and they would stand up and fight for power as soon as they had the opportunity.

Dick nodded slightly, and replied with a smile: "That's right, behind me are basically some former nobles and big businessmen, many of whom have families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. Their goal is to restore their reputation and status .. vowed to kick the Republicans out of the country."

"How's your strength?" Henry asked as he stroked the stubble on his chin.

Hearing this question, Dick showed a wry smile on his face: "It is very powerful economically, controlling nearly half of the country's caravans and shops. But the military aspect is completely useless, which is why I came here. They are eager for some experienced commanders and veterans, intending to secretly build a strong army in the mountains to the west."

"I see." The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, and he narrowed his eyes carefully considering the gains and losses.

Obviously, these guys from Tumis intend to overthrow the Republic and restore the old commercial city federal system. To put it bluntly, the big aristocrats rule the city, the small aristocrats rule the villages and towns, and everyone agrees on their own territory. But they can be closely linked through some treaties. In fact, it is a combination of oligarchic politics and oligarchic business, and the nobles monopolize all the resources of the entire country.

After a few minutes. He stared at Dick suddenly and asked, "Are you interested in being king?"

"What... what?!! The king?!" Dick was so frightened that he couldn't even speak. Although he also has a little ambition, becoming the ruler of a country is a bit too outrageous.

Henry laughed and nodded. "That's right, king, the future master of the Tumis Kingdom. I plan to lend you an experienced commander, and another hundred elite veterans. With these, I believe that after returning, I will definitely get more support. Of course , This is not enough, the intelligence agency under me will use some means to gradually eliminate those disobedient guys, and finally you will be able to gain absolute leadership little by little."

"It's a very tempting proposal, but out of caution, I still want to ask, what benefits will you get by doing this?" Dick asked in a trembling voice. His eyes shone with a flame called the Flame of Ambition. There is no doubt that the guy has been stoked, and I am afraid that few people can refuse a crown.

"A lot. First of all, no matter what method you use, whether you cheat or sell slaves privately, you will get me a population of at least 400,000 within three years. Secondly, after the coup d'état is successful, Tumis must become Siha A vassal of the Kingdom of Trande. Last but not least, you must slowly sever ties with the Iron Throne."

Henry unceremoniously put forward his own conditions. He already had some plans to establish some vassal states in the surrounding area as a buffer. Now that there are ready-made ones delivered to his door, it would be too wasteful if he didn't make good use of them.

Dick closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and said in an excited voice: "I have to say, you are really an inspiring devil. Well, I can agree to all these conditions. But there is one thing, you must increase your support .”

"No problem, whether it's weapons or armor, I can open the supply. If you need it, I can also provide a group of mages. As long as the coup d'etat is successful, I will immediately announce that the Kingdom of Tumis will be included in the scope of protection. Such a generous offer Why are you still afraid of the conditions? Don’t you want your family to become a real royal family?” Henry loudly used words to confuse the wandering swordsman in front of him.

Dick didn't know whether it was excitement or nervousness, his hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes began to become bloodshot. He slammed the table hard and shouted, "Done!"

"Very good, you made a wise choice. Now let's shake hands. This is the beginning of an alliance, and our friendship will last forever." Henry held out a hand while speaking. He knew that from this moment, the man in front of him had completely fallen under his control, and he would never be able to stand up one day.
