"Let's go back!"
Zhou Tian would not regret his decision, after all, those orcs did not listen to his explanation at that time, and always besieged them. If Zhou Tian doesn't fight back, will they really let them arrest him?
Although Zhou Tian was confident that the top leaders of the Thirteenth Legion should not dare to touch him, who knew if things would change, if the officers of those legions really wanted Zhou Tian's life with a stroke of their brains?
Moreover, these patrolling soldiers had no intention of communicating with him at the moment, and since they did not listen to his explanations, it was not impossible to kill him after taking Zhou Tian. And if that situation really happens, if Zhou Tian doesn't resist, it will be tantamount to saying that he will be self-defeating.
It was precisely because of that consideration that when he found that those orcs really couldn't communicate, Zhou Tian would decisively give Arnold an order to kill those orcs.
It's just that no matter what reason Zhou Tian used to do it to those orc soldiers, one thing that can't be changed is that because of Arnold's attack, a group of orc soldiers who besieged Zhou Tian at that time are now dead. And if the situation at that time was known to the high-level of the Thirteenth Legion, even if they really had a request for Zhou Tian, it was estimated that it would not be possible to express it.
To put it mildly, Zhou Tian violated the laws of the Orc Empire by killing those patrolling soldiers, and to put it mildly, Zhou Tian killed the soldiers under them, and those officers didn't ask for an explanation for those soldiers, and those soldiers under the Thirteenth Legion would definitely not be happy. And when all the orcs below have a will, even if the officers above don't want to do it, it is estimated that they will not be able to make their own decisions.
It is possible that those officers have the intention to suppress this matter, but if what Zhou Tian did is really known to everyone, then whether the two sides are willing or not, the relationship between Zhou Tian and the Thirteenth Army Corps will definitely not be much better.
Zhou Tian didn't know if this matter today was really unintentional or if someone had arranged it. But no matter what, since the matter has already happened, Zhou Tian doesn't want to confront the Thirteenth Legion, and when he knows that the relationship between the two sides will deteriorate extremely in the future, it is impossible for him to come to the door again.
As for the trouble that the other party came to him, Zhou Tianzhi didn't have to worry about this happening.
No matter how Zhou Tian's identity as an orc nobleman came about, in short, he has become an orc nobleman at this time, and the nobleman is a transcendent existence in this world at the moment. Although his previous actions can be said to be a great crime, because of his noble status, he can also condemn those dead orcs.
It is a capital offense for ordinary orcs, even border soldiers, to dare to attack nobles directly without being ordered by the Council of Nobles or Beamon the Great. It is even possible to directly punish his entire clan because of this, and according to the situation at the time, those patrols dared to do something to Zhou Tian, and it would be light for Zhou Tian to kill them in that situation, if Zhou Tian was stronger, and those orc soldiers had no one to protect them, even their families would not be happy.
Of course, how things develop is no longer determined by right or wrong, if the Orc Empire really has the heart to deal with Zhou Tian, then even if Zhou Tian has such a set of arguments, they can also condemn Zhou Tian. It's just that according to Zhengtailong's identity, the orc empire will not dare to touch him in a short period of time, so those orcs who patrol are doomed to die in vain.
But no matter what, today's incident still affected Zhou Tian's mood, whether it was arranged by someone with a heart or not, in short, after experiencing today's incident, the cooperative relationship between Zhou Tian and the Thirteenth Army is already difficult to establish.
Zhou Tian has no regrets about his actions, but since things have developed into the way they were at that time, it is impossible for Zhou Tian to be completely unaffected.
Theoretically, the Thirteenth Army should not retaliate against Zhou Tian, and even if it is really attacking Zhou Tian's territory, he is not afraid. It's great to summon the Red Dragon King again, and if they really dare to do that, Zhou Tian will directly dare to commit treason, and establish contact with the Elven Empire at that time, and Zhou Tian is not afraid that the Orc Empire will be able to help him.
But Zhou Tian didn't care about the threat of the Thirteenth Legion, and his previous idea of cooperating with the other party was already difficult to realize. Even if Zhou Tian may have some communication with the Thirteenth Legion in the future, it is already difficult for Zhou Tian to make that legion a source of raw materials for himself.
In this way, at this moment, Zhou Tian can only hit those mercenaries with his ideas.
Mercenaries have always been Zhou Tian's best choice, as long as Zhou Tian is willing to pay, then a large number of mercenaries will naturally send what they need to the door when they release tasks. Zhou Tian himself is not short of money, and there is also space for those mercenaries to survive near the territory of the adjacent Elf Empire, as long as Zhou Tian slowly beats out the reputation of his territory, I believe that there is no need for Zhou Tian to do anything more, and there will be countless mercenaries who will contribute to it at that time.
However, just like the reason why Zhou Tian would give up contacting the mercenaries first, although using those mercenaries to collect materials is the best choice, but Zhou Tian really has no contact with those mercenaries. In this way, although Zhou Tian is confident that he will definitely be able to use those mercenaries in the future, at least in a short period of time, it will be difficult for Zhou Tian to gain the trust of those mercenaries even if he is in a hurry.
In any case, Zhou Tian's territory did not have any fame at the moment, and it was estimated that many mercenaries who were begging for a living nearby did not even know that Zhou Tian had become the lord of that area. In this way, even if those mercenaries really want to do anything, most of them will only haunt the few territories they usually live in, and they will not set foot in the new territory of Zhou Tian in a short time.
Therefore, although Zhou Tian was confident that the mercenaries would definitely be active in his territory in the future, it would not be a big deal not to cooperate with the Thirteenth Legion at the moment. But at least in a short period of time, it is difficult for those mercenaries to help them, and if Zhou Tian really bets everything on those mercenaries, it will definitely be difficult to see the results in the short term.
But Zhou Tian is not in a hurry, anyway, whether he wants it or not, things have already developed like that, and now even if he regrets his previous impulse, it can't change anything. So instead of regretting it at this time, Zhou Tian felt that he should find a way to develop his territory.
The territory is the only 'weapon' to attract the attention of the mercenaries, and only when Zhou Tian's territory is developed can it attract the attention of those mercenaries. And as long as those mercenaries discover Zhou Tian's territory, based on its geographical advantages, I believe that there should be few mercenaries who can refuse the advantage of being stationed in their territory.
Not to mention, there are many things that can't be bought in other locations here on Sunday, if the news of Zhou Tian spreads, it is estimated that not only those mercenaries, but also many chambers of commerce will be stationed in his territory.
As a result, since it was useless to be anxious at this time, and considering his own situation, Zhou Tian decisively gave up the idea of continuing to go out, and instead stayed in the territory and continued to develop his territory according to the foundation he had laid before.
The scope of the canal should be constantly increased, not only to allow the main stream to enclose its own territory, but also to spread its tributaries throughout its territory, so as to achieve the purpose of making water available anywhere in the future.
The brick factory should continue to increase its production capacity, while researching better finished products, and at the same time continue to produce bricks and stones according to the production capacity at that time. Then, according to the planning map drawn by Zhou Tian in advance, he slowly built up his territory.
As a result, although Zhou Tian's territory did not achieve much development, it was still more and more prosperous on the whole, although it was a little worse than the normal lord's territory, but in all aspects, the development prospects of Zhou Tian's territory at that time were definitely not comparable to ordinary territories.
I believe that as long as it continues to develop like this, Zhou Tian's territory will definitely become very prosperous at that time, and if there is really one day, Zhou Tian's current problems will be solved.
However, at this time, Zhou Tian didn't have the heart to pay attention to the development of his territory, anyway, he couldn't do anything in a short period of time, even if he participated, he couldn't speed up the development of the territory, just let the territory run on its own like this, sooner or later his territory would attract the attention of those outsiders.
Right now, all of Zhou Tian's attention was drawn to another matter, and before that thing was over, unless the territory was destroyed or in a great crisis, Zhou Tian didn't bother to pay attention to it.
