"Chapter 137: The Next Step in Controlling the Alliance"
The banquet was over, and we slept comfortably in the well-furnished bedroom. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis battle is something I have never experienced before, and the battle between the large armies is indeed magnificent and fierce. But no matter what, we have won the war that will determine the fate of the Free Cities Alliance, and we have gained a lot of benefits. Not only did the cards go into abundance, but they also further controlled the alliance and expanded their power.
But the battle can be over for the time being, we should go back, we have gained a lot from this battle, and I should use these trophies to go back to build the Tibetan Fortress. In this world, the Tibetan Soldier City is my foundation, and the speed of my development also depends on the development of the Tibetan Soldier City. Even if I ruled the entire alliance, I would not have lived in a city like Mondona, because only the city of Tibetan soldiers is my real home now, where no one will be against me, and where I can truly feel safe and comfortable.
Of course, before that, we need to take all the results of this battle!
When I woke up in the morning, I was in a good mood, different from the previous hotel, this time we stayed in the bedroom where Amur entertained VIPs. The building had been a mess by the Legion before, but now it's in order. I walked out of the room and down the hallway, and the squires who passed by greeted me very respectfully, addressing me as Mr. "Archon". The soldiers standing guard in the corridor saluted us, but I was not too polite to them, for they were our barbarians and regular soldiers. That's right, more than half of the people standing guard in the Amur Mansion and City Hall are our people. It sounds ironic, but we don't mind.
When they arrived at the hall, Fang Zi and Zeng Qiang were already eating breakfast. I went over and said hello and made a joke or two to each other as a pastime in the morning, and then we had a meal together.
"It's a good town, but I'm leaving today, I'm going back to the forest the way I came, and I'll clean up the legion camps along the way." Zeng Qiang told us.
"Need help? You don't have a lot of troops, and it won't be easy for the Legion to sneak up on you, and I don't really trust them when they retreat. I reminded him and suggested that troops be sent to escort him back, but he refused.
"Don't worry, it's only us who sneak up on them, they don't have that ability." Zeng Qiang said with a smile: "The undead went out early this morning, and they couldn't even see the shadow of a legion within ten kilometers, and after ten kilometers, even if they were ambushed, they couldn't find us." ”
"Pan Pan, Amur was mainly defeated by you, it's up to you to do whatever you want, I'm going back to Phoenix too, Ames has built a magic academy in the city, and I have to go back to attend the founding ceremony." Fang Zi also said.
"Academy of Magic? So fast? I didn't have this school last time I went. "I'm a little surprised, after all, the alliance didn't have such a special magic school except in Mondona City before, and Fang Zi built another one in such a short period of time, which really surprised me. But I'm also a little confused, I can understand when Arms arrives in Phoenix, but who will go after the Academy of Magic opens? Can the residents of the system be? But even that wouldn't be enough, after all, there aren't many people like me who have the talent to learn magic.
I explained my doubts to Fang Zi, and Fang Zi's answer surprised me even more.
"Immigrants, we have a lot of immigrants." She explained. "There are very few villagers in the system who can cultivate, they seem to have their own system, so they can directly fight with arms, but the little people given by the system seem to be a little small in the city, so I allowed immigrants to enter, and hundreds of people came to the nearby villages and towns at once, and it is estimated that there will be a thousand after a while. However, we are very demanding, only if we have a certain amount of wealth or a certain amount of strength, or someone in the family has a talent for magic. ”
"Bold plan." That's what I told Fang Zi, and I admit that I wouldn't be able to do it. In order to ensure the safe operation of the tribal city from the other world, I have always excluded outsiders, and even Ron rarely stays in the Tibetan Soldier City. After the invasion of the bandits and legions, many villages were destroyed, and many of the displaced residents wanted to take refuge with us, but I placed them all in the town of Babula. As for many of them whose family backgrounds are not bad, they also want to live in the Tibetan Soldier City. They are not only looking for a backer, but also a good benefit of the Tibetan Soldier City. Food in this tribal town is almost free, and although the houses give me taxes, the inhabitants don't take the money seriously, and outsiders love it. In the case of increasingly serious internal and external troubles in the alliance, the two cities of Fangzi and I are so "livable." ”
Of course, outsiders were not welcome in the city, and merchants could only stay overnight for one night, after which they had to go elsewhere. I did this for the sake of protecting the secrecy of the system, but this method also limits the self-development of the city, which is not a good thing for a tribal town that can develop on its own. However, Fang Zi came up with a new way of thinking to deal with this problem, appropriate immigration can expand the population, promote urban development on its own, and also recruit some potential talents to enrich the composition of the army. It's a good idea, but Fang Zi didn't recommend it to me, and I don't want to adopt it for the time being, I'm still worried about spies and other problems, but maybe it will be in the future.
The meal was very good, and the baby flying dragon also came over and had a good fight with Zeng Qiang for a while. I can understand why Zeng Qiang gave it such a strange name, this "little guy" prefers bones to meat. We then discussed the distribution of the territory occupied by the legion, and I also ceded a village to Zeng Qiang in the north that was originally under my control, so that his territory could directly border us, and it would be much easier for each other to support each other in the future. In addition, we have reached a consensus on the question of the alliance, and this independent regime has been divided among three "foreigners" in a single breakfast.
Knowing that Zeng Qiang was leaving, Mayor Locke Lauren came over to hold him for a while, and then sent Zeng Qiang away with other officials, and in Zeng Qiang's increasingly tall figure, the troops of the Silvermoon Forest evacuated Amur.
Fang Zi was leaving, but before leaving, we invited Archon Locke Lauren to the hotel where I had been staying for a small meeting, and gave him the documents we had discussed and put together, and asked him to sign them.
Locke Lauren took the contract and frowned slightly.
The main content of the contract is three, the first is about the Amur garrison, because we are afraid that the army will counterattack and harm the inhabitants of Amur, we resolutely decided to let one of our troops stay to "assist in the defense of the city" and "protect" the security of the city of Amur. To put it bluntly, the troops were stationed in the Amur, but we agreed on this before, and the Archon Locke Lauren agreed.
The second point is about the position of Amur, and in order for the plan to continue in the future, we demand that the city of Amur must unconditionally support our bill in the parliaments of the three cities (now five cities), so that we can pass it by three votes to two. For this, Rock Lauren has long been mentally prepared, he already knows that the power of the alliance can no longer stop these Orientals, so he also chose to agree.
However, the third article is more fatal, because according to the above, all the territory of half of Amur that was previously occupied by the legion must be handed over to Tibetan City and Phoenix City for "temporary takeover", and this temporary takeover, Locke Lauren knows very well what it means.
"I'm sorry to let me give away so much land, I can't do it." Although he has already chosen a position, Rock Lauren still said it very frankly. "If these places are gone, then Amur will collapse financially."
"Rest assured, Archon Lauren, we are only "temporarily taking over these places, and we will still hand over the financial taxes to the Amur, and we will only charge a certain "garrison fee", and when the affairs of the Council of the Three Cities are done, we will return all these towns to the Amur. "I explained it to him, and I'm sure Rock Lauren understood what it meant.
"Okay, but the town officials asked us to send it." After looking down and thinking for a while, Locke Lauren finally agreed. Although the garrison has become ours, and the officials will be greatly constrained, at least there will be some control. Moreover, there are some towns where the control of the city of Amur is not enough, and Locke Lauren also took the opportunity to completely put these places under the management of Amur.
"No problem, that's it." I happily agreed to his request, and then the three of us signed each other, and after the quill fell, one of the cities in the Free Cities Alliance became our ally and affiliate. Now, as long as the remaining two cities are taken care of, the alliance area is ours.
After coming out of the hotel, Fang Zi left for the city, Fang Zi and I didn't need any extra words, after waving her hand, she got on her horse and set off. In the midst of Finch's command and roar, a cadre of Phoenix City left the city with those powerful artillery, leaving behind about 800 "auxiliary defense troops" and more than 30 artillery pieces.
Fang Zi's troops also left, but I had to wait a little longer, and I sent Philip and Huron to lead the troops to "pursue" the remnants of the Legion and liberate the villages and towns occupied by the Legion, leaving a force to guard there. It's not glamorous to grab land, but I'm not going to miss the opportunity to lose a lot of land. And I have another thing, Prince Louis showed extraordinary manners and bearing at the dinner yesterday. Although there is no research, when he claimed to be a prince, people did not believe him, but they all thought that he was worthy of this prestigious royal title. Therefore, in order to better show his charm, he applied to stay in the city of Amur for a day, take a good turn, and show the royal temperament to these commoners in another world.
I've questioned his motives before, and he's made no secret of his claim that his favorite thing is "glory and beauty", so his favorite thing to do is to show off his beauty in the arena. He claims that he is after a beautiful princess, so he won't look for other lovers, but I still think he wants to go for a girl. But after all, Louis is the strongest combat force in my hands at the moment, and his sufficient experience can also help me command the army, so I can only rely on him first, after all, he is strong and wins battles.
Sitting on a chair on the roof of the building, looking at Louis on a horse and scattering flowers surrounded by young Amur women, I suddenly had the feeling that he was the protagonist, which made me a little unhappy.
However, I also know that although the system is very pitiful, it is still very principled, not only in the pit of me, but also in the loyalty of the troops, so I can only say that this is a little bad habit of the prince, and it is not a trouble.
"Hey, forget it, just change bad habits. Anyway, in this world, I am the protagonist, the prince is a prince after all, and when he sees me, he still has to call him His Majesty. I sat down in my chair and comforted myself.
I'm still thinking about the future, it's only a matter of time before the Subic Kingdom moves against us, and we must prepare for war as soon as possible, that is, to concentrate the forces of the alliance as soon as possible, that is, to control the entire alliance. Now that Amur has been controlled by us, as long as we take the strongest city of Mondona, the next step is to take care of the strongest city, and the alliance is basically ours. At that time, Grandall will have no other way out but to join us. I have already contacted the contact person who is still in Mondona in Amur and asked him to bring a message to Mondona's side, that I am going to Mondona, and that Fang Zi and I also have to express our opinion on the issue of the invasion of the Legion and the Kingdom, and we have asked for the convening of the Council of the Three Cities.
According to the old rule, once two cities had a request for a council, then the council had to be convened. Of course, considering that there are more cities now, I still have a hand, and if it doesn't work, Rock Lauren will also issue a request for a meeting, and once the meeting is held, our plan will be half the success. And the next thing, that is, it depends on whether our strength is hard enough at that time. But in terms of strength, I have a lot of confidence.
I stayed like this all day, and it was not until dusk that I put away the book I was reading, got up from my chair and stretched.
I squinted and looked at the sky in the distance, the setting sun at this time was not dazzling, and under the gradually setting red sun, our troops also returned victoriously.
Very well, Amur is ours.
