Two rows of soldiers wrapped in golden armor, armed with golden spears and wearing bright red cloaks on their shoulders, entered the city amid the sonorous and rhythmic sound of footsteps. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two knights at the front, one black and one gold, were obviously of noble status, as could be seen from the texture of their armor alone.

The soldiers in the back entered the city one after another, looking simple and capable, but each of them was wrapped in armor and could not see their appearance.

Some of the people in the city emboldened themselves and began to walk out of their houses into the streets, where they watched the rows of soldiers passing by.

"The inhabitants of the island!" A voice suddenly rang out, reaching everyone's ears, "As you can see, this island has changed hands, and has since been renamed the Isle of Watch, and has been incorporated into the territory of the Eternal Empire. You go on to business as usual, and there is no need to worry. ”

More and more people are taking to the streets, and there is a lot of talk about the broadcast just now.

"Taxes halved!"

It wasn't until this voice was heard that everyone fell silent, and then the whole city erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Adonis and Ding Lei stood side by side by the window in the palace, where they could see the situation of the entire city below.

"There doesn't seem to be much oil or water on the island, and the original indigenous leaders have concentrated all their wealth in their own homes." Ding Lei turned his head to look at the splendid palace, which was in stark contrast to the yellow adobe houses in the city.

It seems that the tax is quite heavy, and Camilla gave a suggestion to reduce the tax after just one glance through the video crystal.

This is the best way to win people's hearts, at least when your own caravan comes to buy in the future, you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back.

"They have a rich fishery, pearls, shells, crabs and others."

In the communication crystal in Ding Lei's hand, the head of the owl appeared on it, and it was the conclusion given after reading the industry report handed over by the officials here.

Adonis turned to the Death Knight and ordered, "Keep the natives here in order." Then he turned his head to look at Ding Lei, "Let's take a look at the future naval base." ”

Ding Lei nodded, and as the god of death raised his hand, the two disappeared in place.

When it reappeared, it was near a large dock.

It looked like a mess, with several half-sunken ironclads toppling over on the water.

Denise doesn't care if these things are useful or not, everything that floats on the sea will be blown up.

At this time, some people poked their heads out of the basement of the dock, and after seeing Ding Lei and the two, they slowly walked over and asked, "May I ask ......?"

"Did you hear the broadcast just now? Your new rulers. ”

When the other party heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground, not like a knight saluting, but on both knees like a slave, with his head and hands firmly on the ground.

Looking at their skillful movements, it is clear that they often do this.

"From today." Ding Lei's voice resounded throughout the island, "You are subjects of the Eternal Empire, except for knightly salutes to the Eternal King and the Marshal of the Empire, you are not allowed to kneel!" Got it? ”

The people on the ground in front of them raised their heads, looked at this place, looked at each other, and finally stood up one after another, and the sailors gathered around one after another.

A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, looking like the foreman here.

He took off the hat on his head, put it in his hand, bowed slightly, looked at Ding Lei with a humble face and asked, "Your Majesty the Chief, can you ...... Pay us a salary? The brothers have not been paid for months. ”

Ding Lei turned around in surprise and asked, "Your previous head of state didn't pay you a salary?" ”

"The chiefs are going to pay for the war, and the taxes collected have recently increased, and all of our wages have been withheld here, except for basic food, which, according to them, is needed for war."

The people around nodded their heads, and some of them showed angry expressions, but they didn't dare to show too much, obviously the previous ruler did not allow any complaints below.

Ding Lei lowered his head and counted with Adonis, and finally raised his head and said loudly: "Don't worry, from now on, work for me!" Work for the Eternal Empire! No one will lose a penny from you! ”

"Can you guarantee it?" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ding Lei looked at him and said, "Open the treasury!" Right now! ”

"Oh~~~!!!!!" Everyone cheered loudly.

All the oil and water in this place are concentrated on a few chiefs, just open their treasury.

The rest is used as infrastructure costs.

Call the Death Knight and ask him to bring the workers to the palace to receive their paychecks.

In the midst of everyone's gratitude, Ding Lei continued to swim around the giant pier.

"Do the Ark demons make submarines?" Halfway through, Ding Lei asked the 'Minister of Defense' next to him, and the latter asked strangely: "What is the submarine?" ”

"It's an underwater vehicle, used for sneak attacks, and the weapon is mainly to launch torpedoes."

Adonis didn't answer, he looked down and thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it, the previous enemies didn't use this kind of thing, but I can let them try to make one." ”

Ding Lei nodded, and then discussed how to connect this place to the mainland, the answer is still the portal, just add a little power to extract magic from the air.

If humans use the portal, the cost is relatively high, at least 5 gold coins from the mainland, in order to allow them to contribute more gold coins to the Demon King City, so they have to increase the flow of visitors to and from the portal, the way is to make this a tourist destination, so that in addition to the seafood merchants, other ordinary people who want to go on vacation can also come through the portal.

"Next up is about military bases." Ding Lei stood on the edge of the platform, looked at the choppy waves in the distance, and said without looking back: "What are you going to make here?" Do I mean Immortal City or Human? ”

Adonis came to his side and said, "There are three ready-made military ports, two for humans, and we only need one, after all, there are not as many as humans." ”

Ding Lei nodded, and was just about to say something, when Strass's voice came: "Your Highness, the portal is ready." ”

So fast?!

That's just the end of it.

Then he took Adonis and followed the instructions to flash over the portal.

The huge portal is located near the outskirts of the city, a kilometer away from the main city, and the surrounding area is bustling with a large number of workers bringing sand and gravel and other construction materials from the mainland.

It seems that the Congress has already prepared, and various builders are running over to plan and contract the land with hunger.

Seeing that the project below was in full swing, Ding Lei turned his head and asked, "How do humans know?" ”

Strass shrugged and said that some witches in the family wanted to eat seafood, and Camilla asked the humans below to inform the humans below, saying that the Imperial Expeditionary Force had gone outside to open up territory, and once the territory was taken down, let them go over and get the seafood specialties there.

And what human beings want is to transform every piece of land that has been laid down into a permanent overseas market, and seafood and local products are just incidental.

Ding Lei smiled after hearing this, whatever, isn't conquering the world just to make the guys in the Demon King City live a better life.

After handing over the affairs here to the officials who came from the mainland to take over, the expeditionary fleet was again.

At this time, the diplomatic fleet, which was almost a hundred nautical miles away from the fleet, sent a message that they had been attacked. (To be continued.) )
