Inside the snow-white conference hall.

Lotner and other henchmen were full of capitalized bewilderment: "Won't it?" My lord, did you really agree to the Principality of Steel's request to build a military fortress? ”

Odom also retorted in this grim situation: "Even if we refuse now, it is not a big deal, but when their army comes to the precipice, the danger we face will be too great." ”

William raised his hand to prevent the others from continuing, and instead smiled: "Tell me, how long will it take to build a military fortress that can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people?" ”

"Uh......... The key depends on the number of people, if there are few people, it is estimated that it will take more than half a year. "As the deputy city lord, Odom has been in charge of the expansion mission, so he naturally understands the difficulty.

In particular, military fortresses differ from cities.

All the buildings of the military fortress should also have a certain defensive power, the walls should be high and thick, used to house the arrow tower, the internal space should be large enough to set up trebuchets, and two large warehouses for storing supplies and food, if only people live, naturally there is no need for such trouble.

"That's right, will the Principality of Steel use our people to build a military fortress?

Definitely not, there's no doubt about it.

Then even if he can directly mobilize tens of thousands of people to build this military fortress, it will take three or four months to say the least, plus the logistics and supplies in it, not only is the distance long, but every time it is transported, there will be a lot of losses.

I asked him to build a military fortress, no problem.

But as long as he finishes building the foundation and can't give up this place, I will ask the Principality of Steel to pay the protection fee every month.

Give me gold, slaves, food.

Otherwise, the master will let him be cut off from food and people.

Do you think they'll give it? When William said these words, his eyes were full of greed and cruelty.

Many of his subordinates were slightly shocked, they really didn't expect William to have this kind of operation, but Odom hesitated for a moment, and still said worriedly: "In order to build this fortress, they will definitely give the materials that the adults ask for, but the next revenge ......"

"It's going to be five or six months from now!" William gradually narrowed his eyes: "When the time comes, before he finishes building the fortress, destroy them and rob them of all supplies." ”

"This ...... Do you really want to do that? Lautner was a little puzzled, he didn't understand why the lord did this, it was clearly a declaration of war.

William sneered: "Could it be that they really want to settle near the Dawning City, believe me, when we raid his new home, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and when the time comes, we will definitely make the Principality of Steel lose its troops."

What's more, the situation they faced at that time could not be easily committed. ”

Alec and the others didn't know what to say.

At this moment, I can only obey his orders.

Because they didn't know that the dragon slaying plan of the Principality of Steel would inevitably be carried out within half a year.

During that time, that is, when William sent troops to take the military fortress, because the inside of the military fortress at that moment would definitely be very empty, even if there were many soldiers standing on the city wall, it was probably a bluff.

When the military fortress is taken and the game is about to be open beta, plus the tension between the Principality of Steel and the Principality of Black Rock, it is time to start a war, how dare the Principality of Steel at that time easily send troops to attack the City of Dawn?

As for the odds of attacking a military fortress, it should not be a big deal.

Because the elven ranger's eye-insertion ability is not covered, if a large number of people and horses can't find it when they go out from inside the fortress, then he doesn't have to mess around.

Meanwhile.

He also has to follow the group of bastards, go to the East China Sea Snow Mountain, and see if he can get some benefits.

In short, this is a crucial battle that will determine how he will develop in the future.

If you become a king or lose, why don't you gamble?

………………

Time flies.

William still lives a life of doing tasks when he has them.

If you don't have a task, you can go to brush up on the little days of favorability.

I don't know why, Sea's three-dimensional seems to have changed again recently, which really makes William a little dumbfounded.

In particular, she has also begun to enjoy researching lethal magic items!

"It's obviously a Mizuki dual magician.,It stands to reason that I shouldn't like this kind of thing.,It's hard to start specializing in a new direction.,It seems good to give her research on magic cannons in the future.。

this day.

William wandered around the city, observing, one by one, to strange slaves, well, civilians.

50,000 slaves of the Principality of Steel have been delivered.

With a wave of his hand, he pardoned all their crimes and slavery, and made them new civilians, and from then on they would also be part of the new town, but the new town was divided into two regions, the elven area and the human area.

The new city is still under construction, and many civilians like to come to the city for a walk when they are resting.

Of course, other gold coins and supplies were also delivered.

Now the Principality of Steel has directly sent a legion, as well as tens of thousands of slaves, to build a military fortress.

And he also sent a magic message to Augustin yesterday, asking for this month's 'protection fee', nominally William will send troops to fight the little fishmen and jackals on the grassland, and in order to protect them, these allies have lost a lot, so they need some assistance to compensate.

William also said that without the army he sent to protect the convoy, the Principality of Steel would have suffered a great loss......

In total, you need to give me 10,000 gold coins, 50,000 catties of grain, and 2,000 slaves every month!

After receiving Wilhelm's message, Augustine and Goethe Narcisse naturally couldn't help but curse.

Goethe, in particular, cursed almost all of his eighteen ancestors.

Scolded William for being a vile and shameless greedy villain.

But Augustine and Goethe were also relieved, dealing with this kind of greedy guy, that is, the fat and fat that he was raised first, and then he got all the money back with interest, and by the way, he took the city of dawn into his hands, which was the real big profit.

It's like they're secretly dealing with some of the great nobles.

Endure for a while, make sure you don't lose!

Thereupon.

The Principality of Steel obediently sent this month's protection fee to Dawning City.

And William came to the mysterious divination shop again, and Mexis, who was petting the black cat, saw him coming over, and his expression was quite natural.

The favorability between the two has exceeded 500 points, but the two don't talk much, and they both say that the gentleman's friendship is as spicy as wine, and it seems that they are talking about drunkards like them.

It's obvious.

William found one of Messis' hobbies.

In other words, he has long known that Messis has this hobby, but because he is not favorable enough and his rank is not enough, he once did not even have the qualifications to drink with others.

Now that the favorability is 500+, he can finally drink and chat with the big guy.

"With so many slaves at once, aren't you afraid of some chaos in the city?" Messis kindly nodded at him.

William waved his hand pretending not to care: "Everything is under control." ”

Messis took a sip of the wine from his glass and didn't say much.

Because he really wanted to see how far William could develop the City of Dawn.

If it is at the current speed of development, the potential of the Dawning City is indeed very large, but the step is too big, and it is easy to pull the egg......

Messis touched his chin: "I'm still too young, but when the city is ruined, should I save his life, after all, I have a good sense of this little guy, and I have some potential, and I can't help me in the future." ”
