Chapter 3: The Four Dukes
All that's left is the region of Silisus, and although the land is barren, it is not even more barren than the barren land, right? Just take advantage of this expedition to bring some more druids to the past, and transform a few suitable places to live, which can be used as fiefs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the seal is separated, Lu Zhongli will not care, he will definitely help these principalities to gain a firm foothold and guard the Zerg of Silishus and prevent them from wreaking havoc.
Speaking of which, these dukes who gave Lu Zhongli a headache are really not strangers, they are all heroes with names and surnames among the Minotaurs. The first Clay Akao, Clay Akao was made a duke 3,000 years ago and served in High Cliff Castle.
The second is Woods Fire Shield, the former leader of the Fire Shield Legion, who was promoted to Duke after killing a Centaur Khan during the war between Firas and the Centaurs.
The third is Connor Thunderaxe, after Connor took over as Clay as the lord of Aethresor, he has been doing nothing and has a terrible bad political performance, and was finally demoted to the outpost of Firas by Lu Zhongli. This outpost stood on a hill southwest of Redcloud Town, laying the groundwork for infiltrating Firath, but after being discovered by the centaurs, they began to attack desperately, and Connor rescued the outpost hundreds of times before he received the title of duke.
The fourth is Karen Akao, who is indeed a hero. At the age of thirty, Karen broke through the boundaries of life and was able to live forever. Naga launched many campaigns to retake Saldo Island, all of which were destroyed by Karen, and he himself raided Naga's commander many times, and was promoted to duke a thousand years ago.
The Four Dukes are the representatives of the Minotaur in the empire, accounting for half of the total number of dukes. You must know that the other three dukes are Illidan, Lurong and Thunderstorm.
Over the years, the Thunder Empire has also had a lot of internal worries, and Lu Zhongli has always wanted to relieve the internal worries, but there has been no suitable place. So until he finds a suitable place, he will not set a scope for himself on the path of the development of the empire, and if the four principalities are divided on the southeast, northwest and northwest borders, the empire itself will have no future.
Under peaceful development, the population of the empire will always be saturated. Over the years, he has been limiting the empire's population to increase, but it is still growing.
In this case, to imprison the empire around it is simply self-defeating. He didn't want the empire he had built to perish in his own hands, which would make him appear incompetent.
Although Lu Zhongli did not have the intention of becoming an emperor, but under the subtlety of the past few years, Lu Zhongli has been unable to give up the empire, which is his achievement.
It's like his child, the Thunder Empire has been expanding little by little from the beginning of Thunder Cliff. Mogore, Etheliso, Stonetalon Mountains, Barrens, and Firas have come to this day step by step, and they all have feelings that are inseparable from Zhongli.
However, what made Lu Zhongli feel uncomfortable was that he seemed to be shooting himself in the foot. It may have been a mistake to make the soul vessel in the first place, although the soul vessel hugged many hero-level powerhouses and added high-end power to the Thunder Empire.
However, it also laid hidden dangers for the Thunder Empire. These powerhouses had countless hours to build up their merits, and finally reached the point where they were high and powerful. Lu Zhongli is not the kind of person who kills heroes, and he can only turn a blind eye to more things.
As a result, Clay accumulated prestige through war, which led to the rise of kingship and the birth of the Thunder Empire.
Maybe it's not my race, and their hearts must be different! Kalimdor was not aware of this, but inter-ethnic defenses were common.
Coupled with the breeding of ambitions, the real power faction led by Clay is more and more eager to expand the territory. Only in this way can they have their own independent principality, a temptation that has been too deadly for the Minotaurs, who have been suppressed for thousands of years.
Intelligent beings have two sides, and the Minotaur is no exception. They are honest and honest, but they also have a bad side, greedy, murderous, and other intelligent creatures have the same personality.
Sometimes they even want to encroach on the Grey Valley in order to expand their territory. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhongli had placed all the half-elves near the Ash Valley, they would have already provoked a dispute.
For this reason, Lu Zhongli deliberately transferred them back from the outside and entered the outer pavilion, so that Oz could watch them.
Now that Anaklos has sent a good place, so that Lu Zhongli has finally found a suitable place to house these people.
Lu Zhongli summoned the four dukes and said straight to the point: "Recently, we need to go on an expedition to Silisus, where the Zerg are about to break through the seal of the trolls, and I will organize an expeditionary force of 50,000 people." When the time comes, you will all go with me on the expedition, and if you defeat the Zerg, I will give you the land there to establish a principality. ”
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Connor, who is not very good at braining, said directly in ecstasy.
"Of course." Lu Zhongli smiled and promised: "Although the conditions there are not very good and the land is very barren, I will help you through the first difficult period."
"Of course, you are also responsible, I need you to keep an eye on the Zerg there to prevent them from breaking the seal at all times."
"Wouldn't it be nice to kill them all?" Connor said bluntly.
"If you can kill them all, the trolls won't choose to seal them back then." Lu Zhongli shook his head and said, "Wait until the time comes, you all go and gather your subordinates now, and be ready to go on the expedition at any time."
"Your Majesty, how powerful is the Zerg?" Clay asked suddenly.
"I don't know the specifics, you can check the information, maybe you can find some records. The Zerg I fought against back then was in the north, which was different from the Zerg of Silisus, so it had no reference value. ”
"Then Your Majesty, are we the only ones going to Silisus by ourselves?" Woods also asked.
"No, the bronze dragon has gone to Ash Valley, maybe Ash Valley will also send troops, and there should be other dragons to join the battle."
"How are we going to get there? There is no coast near Silisus, and there are a large number of mountains between it and Firas that cannot be crossed. If you want to go to Tanaris, it's too far, and you have to pass through the territory of the trolls. Cullen asked.
"I'll consult with them, and if it doesn't work, I'll make a passage through the mountains on the coast of Silisus, like a canyon fortress."
The canyon fortress was opened up by Lu Zhongli with the magic power whip mountain to move stones, and now Lu Zhongli is more powerful than back then, so it is natural to open a passage from the Silisus Sea, and the mountains by the Silisus Sea are actually not wide.
When the four of them heard Lu Zhongli say this, they were relieved. They were afraid of going far away, and when the time came, their principality would be sealed there, but because of the long distance, they would not be able to get the support of the empire, which would be a tragedy.
