With the addition of three "knights" with considerable deterrent power, the territory that was originally managed by a lack of manpower was quickly put on the right track, whether it was the so-called "tax" or the control of gangs and smuggling, all of which were carried out in an orderly manner.

However, compared to the other lords who are frantically recruiting for the upcoming war, Zhang Cheng's small action is not enough to attract anyone's attention, and even the hints of the ** witch Catherine and the elemental messenger Kane several times, he deliberately pretended not to hear, what to do.

This state of affairs lasted until less than five days before the appointed date, and Polman was the first to remind, "My lord, are you really not going to participate in this war game?"

"Who told you that I didn't plan not to participate?" Zhang Cheng asked rhetorically without looking back while admiring the stronghold that was about to complete the renovation and renovation.

It has to be said that illegal immigrants from Mexico and South America are much more efficient than those lazy local American workers, and because there are no nasty unions and labor laws and regulations, it took about three weeks to complete 80 percent of the reconstruction.

If you change to a regular construction and decoration company, I am afraid that there will be no drama at all for three or five months.

The only downside is that these guys, who don't even have ID cards and bank account numbers, only accept cash for their salaries.

But for Zhang Cheng, who has stored a lot of illegal cash, there is no problem at all.

Now, this once six-storey health club has been transformed into a bar, nightclub and hotel complex for entertainment and consumption, and it is believed that when it opens, it will soon become a place for countless unscrupulous people to trade and negotiate.

As for whether it can guarantee profitability, he doesn't care at all, and it is naturally best to make a profit. If not, then use false accounts to launder money and turn large amounts of illegal cash into legitimate income.

Polman glanced vigilantly at the renovation workers passing by, and waited for the other party to walk away before continuing to ask with a puzzled expression: "Since you want to participate, why don't you recruit an army? Even if the temporary recruitment of personnel is generally poor, they can always be used as cannon fodder consumption." ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head lightly and replied meaningfully: "No, you don't understand, I have already prepared a large army, but you didn't see it." Also, if I'm not mistaken, it seems like the council doesn't allow lords to use heavy guns, artillery, and everything tech-related in war games, right?"

"Yes, but enchanted bullets and shotguns are not within the limit. After all, the purpose of the war game is to select a councilor who is strong enough to subdue many lords, and if a large number of technological weapons are allowed to be used, it will undoubtedly go against the original intention, and the defeated lords will not be convinced. Polman cautiously explained.

This means that when the war begins, the number of "soldiers" on all sides is limited, and if one dies, one will be less, and the first lord to lose all his men will be exposed to the enemy's direct attack. To put it simply, a war game is like a multiplayer game of chess, although the number of pieces on the field does not determine the outcome of the game, but it affects the direction of the balance of victory. ”

As he said this, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a chilling and dangerous light.

You must know that the last time he showed a similar expression, he turned the largest and most prosperous port in Westeros, Old Town, into a place where the undead are rampant.

Polman seemed to feel something, and subconsciously shuddered, and then lowered his voice and tentatively said, "Do you want to ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Cheng nodded with a smile: "Hehe, that's right, I think it's time to use that secret weapon." Just imagine, when all the lords are busy attacking each other, they must not notice one or two inconspicuous pawns. How wonderful will the expressions on their faces be when they drain the pieces and find that a crazy werewolf suddenly appears behind them that doesn't know what fear is?"

"I see! The reason why you didn't recruit the army was to paralyze everyone. Polman clenched his fists, uncontrollable with excitement.

As someone who had seen Clover's terrifying contagion ability firsthand, he had no doubt that as long as he released this guy, he would be able to create an army of hundreds or thousands of werewolves in a short period of time.

Compared to normal werewolves, they have no reason at all, and they don't know what fear and pain are, as long as the wolf king gives an order, they will immediately launch a decisive charge.

Polman couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the dense army of werewolves coming at him, even if a powerful lord wanted to deal with so many crazy werewolves, it would take a lot of effort.

"So don't make a noise and don't tell anyone about my plans, just have a fully enclosed truck in five days' time. In addition, as you are not good at fighting, you don't need to follow me to the Fragmented World, just stay and manage the territory honestly. ”

With that, Zhang Cheng walked out of the pungent smell without looking back, got into the car parked at the door, and gestured to Patty, who was sitting in the cab.

The latter immediately started the car and drove along the road, and after about five or six minutes, the banshee curled the corners of her mouth and teased: "Are you sure it's a wise choice to tell a guy who is a cleaner about your plan?"

"What, do you think Polman will betray me?" Zhang Cheng spread his hands nonchalantly.

"No, not so betrayal, I just don't think he seems to have the strength to keep secrets. Patty hinted with a sneer.

"Hahahaha! Since you see this, can't I see it? On the contrary, the reason I told him was to let everyone know the secret, and then they would think that this was my hole card and ignore the really terrible stuff. Zhang Cheng laughed and told the secret hidden in his heart.

He wasn't so stupid as to think that with a few hundred infected mad werewolves, he could defeat so many lords with powerful supernatural powers.

Clover is just a smoke bomb he uses to confuse his opponents, and his real hole cards are dragons and death dragon knights that can be summoned anytime and anywhere.

The latter, in particular, can easily resurrect large numbers of corpses into wraiths, ghouls, zombies, and skeletons, and overwhelm enemies with a large number of undead.

"Oh, you have other hole cards!" Patty's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Don't make that face, my dear. Remember what I told you? I never trusted anybody, I didn't believe it before, I don't believe it now, and I won't believe it in the future. There are only two things I believe in, knowledge and power. So as the saying goes, if you don't have hope, you will be disappointed, if you don't trust, you won't be betrayed, the real strong are always lonely, and those who are immersed in love, family, friendship and all kinds of ** can't extricate themselves from the weak, they can't even complete self-transcendence, let alone consult the existence of something stronger than themselves......"
