Chapter 880: Unification of Garde Island (2)
That's right, none of the port cities in the north of Jiade Island participated in the actions of the Noble Alliance, because these ports are all members of the Port Alliance, although they are also members of the Noble Alliance, but they are also an independent force organization in the Noble Alliance, and even Zhang Zhongjun's Oak Port is still a member of this Port Alliance.
Instead of joining the aristocratic alliance to wage war against Zhang Zhongjun, these port alliances declared neutrality and secretly told Zhang Zhongjun that if there were any supplies that needed to be purchased, they could be transported from their ports, but because they remained neutral, they still did not let the army appear in their ports.
Originally, Zhang Zhongjun really wanted to serve them in a pot, damn it, since they are going to unify Guardian Island, what are you doing in the port in the north of Guardian Island? !
But no way, Zhang Zhongjun's reputation is very good now, although he was declared a noble sinner by the Noble Alliance and launched a crusade. But even idiots know that the Noble Alliance is just a random charge brought up in order to rob the chaotic archipelago occupied by Zhang Zhongjun.
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun, who has a flawless reputation, even if he looks at the ports that slip around is not pleasing to the eye, there is no reason, and he really can't attack these ports that declared neutrality before the war.
If it weren't for his reputation, Zhang Zhongjun would have expanded to the outside world a long time ago, where would he run to occupy the Chaos Islands, and where would he think about going to the Holy Grace Continent to find opportunities!
After going through so many things, Zhang Zhongjun knows very well, don't look at yourself, in fact, there are even more awesome existences, if you think that you are very awesome and ignore any rules, then those who are better than you will also mess with you. Therefore, having a good reputation, abiding by certain rules, and acting within the rules most of the time, and occasionally stepping out of the rules to act is a code of conduct formed after Zhang Zhongjun's concept was slowly established.
Zhang Zhongjun can be said to have always acted under this kind of rule, for example, when he first came to this world, he did not occupy territory by force, but by being a mercenary, and obtained a piece of land with the right time and his own ability.
After acquiring this land, Zhang Zhongjun did not think that he was invincible in the world and immediately expanded to the outside world, anyway, he concentrated on managing the development of the territory. It wasn't until he was attacked by Oak Harbor that he counterattacked in self-defense and occupied Oak Harbor.
Even when he went to capture the Chaos Islands, he was first attacked by the local mermaids, and then took the opportunity to land, waiting for others to attack him before he counterattacked. As for the future, there is no need to say it, they are all in a mess, so there is no need to care who fights who first, anyway, Zhang Zhongjun took advantage of the reason that the enemy struck first to occupy the Chaos Islands.
It can be said that the three territories that Zhang Zhongjun obtained were all obtained within reasonable rules that conformed to the public's ideas, at least he did not invade others and rob other people's territories for no reason.
Oh, and there is also a territory that is a religious domain transferred by the Bishop of the Holy Light, which is more reasonable and legitimate. On the contrary, the forces that encroached on this territory belonged to an unreasonable and illegal position.
And these forces that first carved up Zhang Zhongjun's territory, but they are all the main forces in the aristocratic coalition, Zhang Zhongjun hasn't even looked for them to settle accounts, and the aristocratic coalition actually launched an attack first?
That's right, it was indeed the aristocratic alliance that launched the invasion war first, and the troops of the Duchy of Baron drove to the Black Hawk Territory first, and then Zhang Zhongjun fought back in self-defense.
So don't look at the current Zhang Zhongjun's Black Eagle Army is suppressing the aristocratic coalition to abuse, and rapidly expanding the occupation area, but in the eyes of the forces that know Zhang Zhongjun outside, Zhang Zhongjun is not an invasion, but a self-defense counterattack.
It can be said that Zhang Zhongjun's reputation to the outside world is very good, and this is also the reason why the Port Alliance will directly declare neutrality before the outbreak of the war, and it is also the reason why the Port Alliance clearly stated that it would not interfere with the affairs of the two sides, but secretly told Zhang Zhongjun that it could purchase materials from them.
All because Zhang Zhongjun has a good reputation!
Therefore, in this case, Zhang Zhongjun, who was not lacking in the port, was not particularly happy about the neutrality of the port alliance, but he was not particularly disgusted, but he was a little disappointed, thinking that the Mao Port Alliance would not join the aristocratic alliance?
I think so, but for the sake of his good reputation, Zhang Zhongjun still agrees with the neutrality of the port alliance. There is not much loss in my heart, the reason is simple, as long as the inland of Jiade Island is completely unified, these ports along the coast will not be able to jump anywhere, and in the end, they will definitely belong to Zhang Zhongjun's forces either attached or allied or surrendered.
After all, without the inland support of the port, it will not be able to develop and grow at all. As long as Zhang Zhongjun dominates the inland of Guardian Island, we can see what the future trend of these neutral ports will be.
Although Zhang Zhongjun endorsed the declaration of neutrality of these independent ports, each port sent spies. Just to see what these ports say, but don't do.
Allowing yourself to purchase materials on your side is no problem, but if you also allow the noble coalition to purchase materials, hehe, then find an excuse, this kind of behavior is definitely against the declaration of neutrality, and stand on the side of the noble coalition army, as long as you catch this kind of behavior for yourself, then you can confidently occupy the port where you do this kind of thing!
Zhang Zhongjun's idea is very good, if the battlefield is in a stalemate, Zhang Zhongjun's goal will definitely be realized. Because the port is a business, the so-called port alliance is actually a business alliance, at the beginning they will stick to neutrality, but when both sides are fighting and continue to replenish a large number of materials, they will definitely immediately sell materials on both sides to make a lot of money.
It's just a pity that Zhang Zhongjun has a huge amount of divine coins to be a money player, and he frantically used the divine coins to pile up a diamond knight, a large gold knight, a black iron knight with a super large ticket, and a vast third-level warrior.
When Zhang Zhongjun had 500 bronze knights, 1,000 black iron knights and 50,000 third-level warriors, although the aristocratic alliance army was beaten to the point that its head was broken and bleeding, its nose was blue and its face was swollen, it could still hold on, and there was a possibility of continuing to hold on. After all, Zhang Zhongjun was not unharmed, his head was bleeding, his nose was blue, his face was swollen, but his injuries were slightly slower than those of the aristocratic coalition army.
But after Zhang Zhongjun went to the Chaos Islands to gather recruits, and promoted the remaining knights to Diamond Knights, and let these Diamond Knights return to Jiade Island with the recruits, and also transported the previous front-line combatants back to rest and promote.
The battle on Garter Island began to turn one-sided.
