In Morel's study, Alan looked at the map on the table, thinking about Mrs. Wen Li's question.

After a long time, he said: "This territory of the Morel family adds up to the size of a small southern principality!" Alan said in shock.

Mrs. Wen Li smiled: "Although the area is quite large, the land is barren and sparsely populated, so it doesn't seem to be of great use." ”

Oh? Is it! When Alan heard this, he shook his head disapprehantly, this place has a large river passing through it, and there is a natural water storage lake like the White Fog Lake, backed by a powerful endless forest, it is definitely a wonderful strategic location, if it is properly developed and irrigated, it can definitely become a granary.

Then Alan asked, "Madam, what is your purpose in letting me look at the map tonight?" Allen's eyes were on the White Fog Lake, and Mrs. Wen Li shouldn't be talking to herself about things for the sake of the White Fog Lake Monster. The matter of the White Fog Lake Monster is related to whether Mrs. Wen Li's position can sit firmly, and now that Mrs. Wen Li has controlled the family council, this matter is not an urgent need.

At this moment, Madame Winley picked up a black quill and drew several areas in the middle of the Morel family.

Alan watched Mrs. Wen Li move one stroke at a time, and saw that the area drawn by Mrs. Wen Li was from the middle of the Morel family, northeast to southwest, like a long belt.

"What's going on in this area?" Allen noticed that this area overlapped with a river, extending outward from both sides of the river, and according to scale, the two sides extended for more than 40 kilometers.

Lady Wen Li smiled: "This piece is the territory of the Temple of Light, and they control this river. The reason for this is that the existence of this river is recorded in the classic books of the temple. It proves that it is a resource of the god of light. ”

Hehe. Hearing this, Alan smiled coldly, such a statement is very similar to what the group of cheeky people in the temple would do.

"In this way, the territory of the Morel family has become two enclaves that are not separated from each other, right?" Alan asked.

"Hmm." Wen Li nodded.

Alan sighed helplessly: "I can't control the river." If the irrigation system cannot be developed, then the vast area through which the river flows will be essentially nullified. ”

"Mr. Allen really has a very wide field of vision, and he is right to say that because of the existence of this river, one-third of the Morel family's land is difficult to develop for agriculture." Butler Avalo said helplessly.

Hearing this, Alan was puzzled, the Temple of Light had robbed the Morel family of one river, or all of them.

Due to the presence of the White Fog Lake. Alan believed in his heart that the Morel family still had control over other rivers in the territory, so the question is, why does the Temple of Light occupy such a river?

Is there any secret in this? Alan knows the people of the temple very well, this is a bunch of unprofitable guys, if not very profitable. It should not offend the powerful nobles of the Golden City for the sake of a small river.

"How long has this river been occupied by the Temple of Light?" Alan asked.

"More than 200 years ago, since the last bishop came to dominate the Golden City. The Temple of Light pushed this matter hard, and later, the Storm Monarch could not stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the Temple of Light, and with a stroke of the scepter in his hand, the river flowed away from my Morel family. Avalo said.

Two hundred years ago? Could it be that the Temple of Light made some new discoveries about this river at that time?

Alan had some more suspicions in his heart.

Then he asked, "Madame, tell me about it tonight." Is there anything I need to do? ”

"Yes." Wen Li said bluntly, "According to the information we have received so far, due to your meritorious work in expelling the Abyss Forces, it is very likely that the City Lord's Mansion will fulfill its previous promise. Give you a fief, even a title of nobility. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Li's expression darkened, and she said: "The noble title given by the City Lord's Mansion is at least a baron, and the future is limitless. What would you choose between the Duchy Baron and the gentle Guardian Knight? ”

When Alan heard this, he was slightly stunned, looking at Wen Li's rather anxious face, Alan smiled, in Allen's heart, he was already the guardian knight of Mrs. Wen Li, so there was no reason to regret it, in this matter, Alan had no other choice.

"Of course I would choose to be your knight, Lady Wen Li!" Alan said very firmly.

"Okay." Wen Li's heart moved, "Thank you for making such a choice." I would be grateful if you could help the Morel family regain control of this valley. The river is so important that it can revitalize a third of the land that the Morel family has been unable to use. ”

It was a daunting task, but Alan didn't refuse.

"It is my pleasure, ma'am!" Alan said with a serious expression.

But at this time, the system is being released for the task, and it seems that there is still room for things to turn around? Alan was stunned, did he think too much about it, or did he really have such a thing?

"It's just that, based on my understanding of the Temple of Light, we don't have much chance of regaining control of this river through the City Lord's Mansion. But I'll do my best. "Alan simply arranged it himself, although the divine grace system is powerful, after all, it is only an auxiliary tool, no wonder it can suppress his own initiative? And what Alan is saying now is the reason why he doesn't like this.

"Okay, it's enough to have your words, it's man-made, if it really doesn't work, forget it, let's find other ways." Wen Li said.

Alan listened, nodded his head, and expressed his approval. Looking at the map, after a long time, he pointed to the northeast of the upper reaches of the river and said, "May I ask whose territory is this?" ”

Avalo looked at the place that Alan was pointing to, this piece of land had reached the edge of the plain of Raspaar, and part of it was the domain of the Viscount Clément who had been taken before.

Then the old butler said, "The place you are referring to, Alan, is the size of this part, which is the territory of the Viscount Clément who followed you before, and the terrain of this place has begun to climb, and a high ground is located in it, and further west. It's the place where the orcs haunt. It is worth mentioning that to the west of this highland, there is also a nice plain, which is also the territory of Clément, and then there is the real plateau. ”

"But this plain land has actually fallen into the hands of the orcs, and it is of no great use." Avalo Road.

Is it? Alan heard this. I was slightly stunned. This area is located above the river, and if you can control it, you will be able to impose certain restrictions on the river of the Temple of Light, and have a chance to figure out why the Temple of Light occupies the river.

Only by knowing the truth can we make a difference, this is what Alan thinks in his heart.

"I'm wondering if we can't take this river, if we can change our minds and pursue this piece of borderland left behind by Viscount Clément!" Alan in front of Mrs. Wen Li. Came up with their own ideas.

"In addition, using this high ground, we can re-divert irrigation and open two or three canals, so that the barren land of the Morel family will have a solution, and we can more or less revitalize it, and we can also enclose the Temple of Light. See what this group of people is doing in this valley. Alan said.

Yes? Hearing this, Wen Li and Avalo were both shocked. Hurriedly took the map and thought it carefully.

Alan was also looking at the map, quickly remembering the area south of Raspar.

Due to the existence of the Temple of Light, the territory of the Morel family is now rigidly divided into two regions, northwest and southeast, and the middle zone has been even more decadent after two hundred years.

Previously, the Clément family had occupied the upper reaches of the river for a long time. Therefore, Wen Li blurted out today. Naturally, it is the plan that the family has thought of in the past, to reclaim the river valley to the ground. This time it was time to take advantage of Allen's rise to retrieve the river and bring the two areas together.

But as soon as Allen's words came out, it brought new thinking to Wen Li.

This is actually a not very complicated strategic vision. Mrs. Winley as a member of the Morel family. has always been influenced by the thinking of closing the territory, and the layout that I thought of naturally moved closer to this aspect.

And Allen, as a person who knows the temple very well, knows that it is not so simple to retrieve this river, and it will not work at all without three to ten years, but next year, the abyss will invade, who wants to do a consumption at this time.

So Allen's mind moved, and he found a space for development in the upper reaches of the river, just like playing Go, laying out in the distance in advance, and in the future the abyss will invade, and various forces will be strangled together, and there will always be a day when the three areas will be combined.

As for what Avalo's steward mentioned, the west of Viscount Clemman's territory has been occupied by the orcs, so it's better, with this premise, when Alan makes a request to the City Lord's Mansion, he can boldly enclose the land and continue to expand the territory to the west, as long as he can snatch this area back from the orcs, then this land will be his own!

Now that the troubled times are coming, Alan has no soldiers and no horses, if he has orc neighbors, Alan can also develop his own forces very reasonably, and train a strong army, and after the abyss invasion, he can also deal with it. That's what Alan saw in this short conversation!

In the previous life, Eren was a person who was good at defending cities, and with his own efforts, Eren formed a certain appeal in the south, and once occupied a city subverted by the abyss, the city of Caligas, which made Eren gradually reach the top.

In this life, Alan missed the opportunity to become a mage, but in the counterattack mode, Alan did not intend to give up. This is the way Alan is familiar with resisting the invasion of the Abyss.

"Alan, I think everything you said is not unreasonable, you have opened my eyes to a new situation. It all looks fantastic. You see, if you can get the area left by Clément, and then open a road between the canyons outside the highlands, then this area can be connected to the White Fog Lake. In this way, not only can the problem of the original land be abandoned to the greatest extent, but also a large piece of land can be acquired, I think your thinking is better! ”

Madame Wen Li hugged Alan very excitedly, and desperately stuffed her little knight into her arms.

Avalo's eyes also showed excitement, and he trembled: "That's right, if we can open up the orc area to the west, whether it is south or north, there is still a lot of room for development." What a wonderful proposition, Mr. Allen, your idea is fantastic! ”
