In the small pale yellow building, a candlestick in the shape of a mountain is placed in the center of a dark square dining table.

On either side of the table sat rows of figures, grim-looking, their eyes resting on the unfolded map of the dining table, with several circles marked with a striking red pen.

At the top of the table are Albert and the Scavenger, who have rested and washed and refreshed. Albert was dressed in a black knight's dress, the long hair on his head was cut to match his ears, and he was wearing a gray buckskin glove on his left hand and pointed to three red circles, and said solemnly: "We have lost Wanghuo City, but there are still remnants of people, wealth and armed forces, what we need to do next is to find a place to be stationed, these three places were specially selected by me and the scavenger mage, what do you think?" ”

Albert finished speaking, and looked around, trying to catch some kind of information in their eyes.

Emir, Corion, Hyland, and three ordinary knights in gray leather armor sat at each end, and as the few upper echelons of Wanghuo City, they all had the right to participate in the selection of places.

The air was silent, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be clearly distinguished.

"Everyone arrived, except Grant, who didn't arrive." Albert thought to himself, and he immediately shook his head again, rejecting the idea. Grant is not a resident of the city itself, but thanks to his help along the way to save the situation, he will always consider his thoughts subtly.

After all, Grant had warned the war elves and orcs to attack, so Albert would go to Briss City to move the rescue troops and receive assistance from the regular army. They can minimize losses. Emir: They also benefited from Grant's help along the way, otherwise they are not sure how many will survive.

"Each of these three places has its own benefits. Like Ales City, the territory of Viscount Otis, the scope here is much wider than that of Wanghuo City. We can accommodate and stock wheat, farms, wheat pastures, etc. The only trouble is that the land is barren and there is certainly less wheat to be harvested. On the other side, the city of Ksente is fertile in land, but it is inconvenient to run in the surrounding mountains and is easy to attack. “

"The last place left, without the mountains and the land is quite fertile. But the territory is too small, almost a little larger than my original knightly territory. It cannot accommodate more than 10,000 refugees. ”

Corion's words hit the nail on the head of Albert's troubles. The Hanmo family ruled Wanghuo City for decades, and expanded the family's strength by privately transporting the surrounding iron ore veins. He also worked with the scavengers to build a mage tower to surround Wanghuo City for more than ten years of peace.

But now all the family's financial resources can only buy one of the three realms.

"If you sell my rose necklace, it's worth nearly a thousand gold coins." Emir's eyes flashed with reluctance. She stood up suddenly, and everyone's eyes were slightly focused on her.

The emir wore a long white and blue dress with ruffles that hung down to the smooth ground; She held her head high, her supple blonde hair falling down her shoulders, and her hands pressed to the table. There was a slight tremble. The crystal skin exposed on his neck and hands was as white as jade porcelain.

"Bang!"

Albert frowned and slapped the table, the candlestick swaying slightly. Everyone could feel the anger contained in Albert's blow, if it weren't for the fact that the table was worth more than a hundred gold coins. I'm afraid there has already been a dent in it.

"The rose necklace is a representative ornament given by my father to the Hanmo family, which represents that the family has been passed down for thousands of years like a necklace, and the necklace is gone. Where is the dignity of our Hanmo family? ”

Albert said angrily like a raging lion. Everyone knew that Albert was angry. All silent. The emir understood what his father meant, but the rebuke still made his eyes red. The grievance made my heart feel like I had been hit hard by a hammer, and I was so uncomfortable that I was going to die. She also made this decision for the sake of her family.

At this moment, the heavy wooden door that had been closed slowly pushed open to both sides, and the air flowed, and the low sound of the wooden door grinding broke the silence in the living room.

"What's wrong with you? I guess I'm not late. Grant lifted his dark hood and smiled apologetically. After he rushed from the carriage all the way to the outside of Jinhua Street, he met two recruits from Wanghuo City, and when he learned that things were coming quickly, he now saw the situation in front of him and guessed that it was mostly related to the territory.

In the previous life, the Hanmo family in the game had a wealth of tens of thousands of gold coins, and they couldn't buy much good territory.

Albert let go of his fist, looked at Grant couldn't help but restrain his angry expression, and said in a friendly voice as much as possible: "It's just right, Vig said that you predicted that Briss City would not last long, I think you may be clearer about the route of the orcs, so you see which of the three territories will not be attacked by the orc forces." ”

Others agreed: "The first condition of the territory is security." ”

Grant walked quickly to the table, turned his head sideways to see the corner of Emile's reddened eyes, and after glancing at Albert, he probably guessed that there was a quarrel, so he comforted: "Don't be angry, let me see next." ”

Approaching the map, Grant glanced at each other and smiled, "These three territories will all be occupied by orcs, especially this fertile land will definitely become their fortress-level location." ”

"What!" The faces of the people were in an uproar, and their eyes showed a hint of shock and despair, and everyone understood what this meant, and they had to rush farther away again, and then there would be a large number of displaced people, and some of the civilians would have to be sent to other cities.

These are all acts of weakening the strength of Wanghuo City.

Albert's face changed drastically, his gloomy face stared at the map in disbelief, and for a moment he seemed to be ten years old, half-lying in a chair.

"You don't have to worry too much, I just went to the mage tower of the second-order mage Melio, and he promised me to pick a territory at will, and I was just about to tell you about it."

After Grant finished speaking softly, everyone looked at him in shock, and Hyland sat in a position on the right, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise. He guessed that maybe there was some reason for the second-order mage to give Grant some reward.

Albert's gray face suddenly became excited, and he quickly stood up and said gratefully: "Grant is really bothering you, I won't say anything politely, after all, I really need the territory now, but where is the territory." ”

"Black Pine City." Grant smiled.

Albert was puzzled at first, then looked at the large territory on the map, which was only slightly smaller than the territory of Viscount Ottois. For a while, Albert's mind was like being blown up by thunder, buzzing blank, and there were no other thoughts, until he reacted, swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and pointed there with trembling hands: "You are talking about this place, this is the territory of the Viscount, although it is a little remote, but the cost is not ordinary, it is seven or eight times larger than Wanghuo City." ”

"He's sending it anyway." Grant didn't care, he understood that Melio controlled almost half of the power in Briss City, and even the Earl of Victoria was afraid of Melio's three points, and it was not a big deal to give away a territory that was not very popular.

"Thank you, Mage Grant." Albert owes his gratitude that this time he really met a savior.

The others also cast grateful glances one by one, Grant smiled slightly, in order for Vig to have a quiet residence, these are not troubles, after placing Vig in the city, he will not have any special people to worry about, he can go to the mage cluster with peace of mind and start his new life.
