Chapter One Thousand and Eight: A New Plan
This was undoubtedly shocking bad news for the local residents and nobles of the capital, but then they were pleasantly surprised when they found out in the king's proclamation that there was a half-plane in the city of Tyre with an area about half the size of an empire, and that they could be allowed to enter and develop as long as they paid a part of the tax.

Such a vast half-plane represents a fertile land, not to mention that in the annotation of the announcement, it is also indicated that this half-plane is rich in resources and has a climate and environment similar to that of the empire, and it can obtain huge profits just by planting crops, which is undoubtedly good news for the low-level people.
As for the middle level and even some minor nobles, the half-plane means a large amount of land, and the land means a larger territory, although it is in the half-plane, it is also quite safe in the capital, if you can find a few minerals around the territory, it means a steady stream of gold coins.
The king then issued a series of proclamations, including the addition of the word Protector in front of the title of Prince Terryth to reward him for his selfless exploits in discovering the half-plane and voluntarily handing over the development of the imperial capital, as well as the addition of titles to some of his followers as a token of encouragement.
The only thing that made these residents a little depressed was that their current king had made such a fateful decision, which came into effect on the same day, and stipulated that the residents who were willing to follow to the city of Tyre, which is now the capital, must complete the relocation within a month.
Fortunately, it is very clear in the announcement that for the residents in the past, in addition to giving quite generous gold coin compensation, this also includes the difference in the price of living buildings and shops, etc., and after the past, there will also be a series of preferential policies for half-plane teleportation and development, which makes these people not say anything.
Although there are some people who see that something is wrong with the situation, for the overall situation of the fact accompli and the generally optimistic public opinion, these are like a wave in the sea and no one cares.
This was a great transfer involving tens of millions of people, but fortunately, with a large number of escort convoys organized by the king and Prince Terryth, as well as some city lords, there was a steady stream of movement between the capital and Tyre, and the residents of the original capital were also entering Tyre.
What they didn't expect was that although this city of Tyre was smaller than their capital, the king had already made a promise to increase the scope of the city in the next step, but it was quite good in terms of climate and environment, and even more comfortable than the capital, especially those buildings with elven style, combined with the gorgeous Terran buildings that were finally renovated, gave these residents a lot of surprises.
However, while these inhabitants were still adjusting to the life of the current capital, Prince Terrys's side had already arrived in the current city of Tyre, and the inhabitants and warriors of the previous capital were already familiar with and mastered the functions of this new city.
As for Li Ran, he was standing on the top of the highest mage tower in the city at the moment, and in addition to a few teammates and a group of clan leaders, only the owners of this place, Kunai Soyd and Master Lieshi, were all standing on his right side.
"I think that a few years ago, Liexi and I were still excited to build a mage tower without grade and stayed awake all night, but I didn't expect that a few years later, we actually have a fourth-level mage tower, I really feel a little incredible when I think about it" After a long time, the mage tower master couldn't help but sigh and said.
At this time, everyone present all laughed, this Kunai Soyd thought so, how could they not be like this, especially those leaders who were the first to follow Li Ran, nodded heavily at this time.
As for Master Liexi, he smiled and said to Kunai Soyd at this time: "So I said that you are a sharp-eyed person? To be honest, you suddenly decided to send so many people and golems to support the city lord, I was a little reluctant, after all, these guys were still eyeing us at the time and wanted to destroy us, fortunately, I have always listened to you between the two of us, otherwise I would regret my death now."
Seeing Master Liexi pointing to the three prophets of the Zereramo clan, everyone who knew something about this matter, including these three prophets and the two captains behind him, couldn't help but laugh, and when they saw the city lord turn around at this time and solemnly express their gratitude to the leaders present, everyone didn't even dare to say it.
And after chatting for a while, everyone couldn't help but talk about the current city again, and when talking about this topic, everyone couldn't help but talk about this almost sky-high compensation, and finally it turned out that despite their hobby of amateur bargaining, Wu Tongtong and others were obviously not the opponents of these professional envoys, and the amount of compensation paid far exceeded their imagination.
However, Li Ran waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although in order to exchange cities, we spent a lot of gold coins to make up for the loss of the capital, almost exhausted all our savings in the previous wars, and even owed us a lot of gold coins for this respect for the king, but looking around us, I think it was all worth it."
Hearing Li Ran say this, Zhou Xun and other teammates and leaders couldn't help but smile slightly, but the Minotaur leader Saquille said a little unconvinced: "These guys are really shameless, if it weren't for us, would they be able to hold this city?" And he gave them a fully developed half-plane for nothing, so he was embarrassed to ask us for so much money, and I don't think there is any need to give them to those who owe it, otherwise he would think we are easy to bully."
Hearing the words of the leader of the minotaurs, everyone present who had this idea nodded their heads in agreement, but at this time, Li Ran smiled and said: "The promise made is the debt, not to mention that we have signed an agreement, no matter how greedy they are, even if we have agreed, then this money will have to be repaid sooner or later."
After saying this, Li Ran suddenly pointed to the faintly visible sea level in the east, looked at Saquille and said with a smile: "We have heroic warriors, there is a vast and boundless sea, and there are endless gold coins in it, and the roaring island of the territorial sea is rich in resources, do you think we still need to rely on the king's little money?" ”
Hearing Li Ran say this, everyone looked in the direction of his finger and couldn't help but nod heavily, and some leaders who had a better relationship with Saquille took this opportunity to deliberately step forward and laugh at him a few words, which made this guy depressed.
At this time, Li Ran looked at everyone solemnly and said: "Of course, I believe you all know that although there are abundant materials, there are also opponents who are far more powerful than Grenada and Cruyard, but I exchange this city to see how powerful these guys who dare to let us pay tribute every year across the ocean!" ”
As the city lord's tone became heavier and heavier, these battle-hardened clan leaders couldn't help but clench their fists and became a little excited, and even some warlike barbarian leaders were unconsciously panting at this moment.
Although some of them have some natural fear of the unknown seas, they are full of confidence in ground warfare, and even after the last battle with the gods, they have unconsciously had a posture of giving up on themselves, even with the legions they bring, even if the lord said that their opponent was a god at this moment, they were determined to fight against it.
However, whether it is to march into the sea or compete with the empire on the other side, this is a matter for the future, the reason why Li Ran brings it up now is to make these leaders psychologically prepared, and as for the next after chatting for a while, they naturally turned the topic to the coalition forces of the Grenada Empire.
"According to the news from the capital, it has been a week since this coalition of about 200,000 people entered the erosion land, and if the normal marching speed is concerned, they will appear on the land of the empire in about five days," Zhou Xun said at this time.
In this regard, Li Ran thought for a while and asked, "Then how are we and the legions of the capital city assembled now?" ”
At this time, Zhou Xun took out a record book from the storage ring and said: "Judging from the situation from yesterday, in addition to the original 100,000 legions, the imperial side has successively sent 80,000 people from the current capital, most of which are mainly top-level and above-level troops, including a 50,000-strong Terran swordsman legion, a 20,000-strong super-level heavy Terran warrior legion, as for the remaining 10,000 people, in addition to 5,000 top-level crossbow shooters and some medical and legal personnel, In addition, this time there was a 2,000-strong Templar Warrior Regiment and a 300-strong Archangel Legion."
"What, after a long time, two thousand three hundred high-level troops came" I thought that Zhou Xun would also tell the details of some high-level troops, but seeing that he actually put away the record book the next moment, a leader couldn't help but say dissatisfied.
However, Li Ran obviously didn't care too much about this, just smiled and said: "It is not easy for our king to send two thousand Templars and three hundred archangels, we have the right to fight against the invaders alone this time, if we can't even settle a coalition army composed of only marquises at the top, then how can we compete with the super empire on the other side in the future."
Hearing the city lord say this, everyone present couldn't help but smile slightly, and they all showed confident expressions, for them who have been in war for a long time, this time the opponent is just a legion with 200,000 people, even if it is really as the situation says, most of them are troops above the super level, they are not afraid.
At this time, all the leaders present firmly believed that for this legion, even if they abandoned the defensive advantage and fought in the field, they were confident that they would defeat one of them, not to mention that they still had a defensive advantage now, and if they lost in this way, they would not come out and mix.
