Chapter 690: Alediar City
Ryan and Freya each finished talking about their experiences after separation, and it was said that Galib's side was basically just secretly doing some intelligence gathering, far less magnificent than the deeds of Ryan and Faraz's side.
Ryan wanted to ask his companions for their opinions, but even Freya, who hated the dark elves the most, firmly supported Ryan's choice of Aledia, and this one-sided situation made Ryan no longer hesitate, and he was determined to agree to Aledia's condition to stay in Isopaton City, instead of accompanying Astarlot to the territory of the Thor-demon as originally agreed.
This choice made Ryan feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Ryan would not affect the safety of his companions because of his ridiculous insistence, and even Ryan himself must admit that this is a choice to maximize interests, compared to Aledia's sincerity, Astarlot seems to be much worse, he even appeared in front of Ryan as a strong enemy of mankind, in a way, Ryan agreed to help Astarlot more because of the situation, and had to do it.
Now that he had made his decision, Ryan certainly wouldn't let himself be immersed in that negative mood for a long time, and he quickly changed his mind, abandoned all distractions, and began to plan with his companions what to do next. When teleporting in the town of Arrich, Ryan put Victoria and Herrisna, Queen of Blades, in Astarot's group, which was deliberate for Ryan.
In fact, thinking of his original arrangement in Arric, Ryan found that he had never really trusted Astaroth, the Thor demon, from the beginning, so when he was in Cassano, he asked Galib to "accompany" him throughout the whole process, and when he was in Arric, he also took into account the consequences of Astarote's face. Whether it's the Queen of Blades or Herrisna, their strength can only be considered average, and in a sense, both of them are subservient to Ryan's power, unlike Freya and the others who are true friends with Ryan.
If Astarlot has Freya or Reynolds by his side, then once this Thor demon has other thoughts, he uses these two people to threaten Ryan, who can only grit his teeth and give in, but if he is the Queen of Blades, Ryan will definitely refuse all of Astaroth's requests without hesitation, which is only clear to Astarott himself.
Now Ryan even believes that even if Astarlot already knows the news of his switch of sides, he will most likely protect the two of them to ensure that the relationship between the two sides does not change from friendly to hostile, after all, the rivalry between Aledia and Boyadinas is clear, and everyone knows that the enemy of the enemy is equal to his natural ally.
So Ryan and they feel that the most important thing at the moment is to find the lost Victor's group of companions, as long as they can meet with Victor and Allendo, Ryan and their main force to go to the other world this time will be complete again, this power is placed in any area of the dark elves or Thor demons, it is an extremely powerful force, with enough right to speak, even if Aledia wants to regret betraying Ryan and the others, she has to give up any flashy ideas because she is afraid of this power.
Ryan remembered the previous information, and he felt that the destruction of the town of Arrich was likely related to Victor and them, so the next focus should naturally be on that area. Compared to the sneaky feeling when he was looking for Galib before, Ryan can now go to find Victor and the others with great fanfare, anyway, they have revealed their true identities in Vlaar City, and Aledia has also acquiesced to this, believing that no one will no longer be unfavorable to Ryan and them in this regard.
In addition, after agreeing to Aledia's condition to help the dark elves participate in the Millennium War, Ryan will stay in Isopaton City for a long time in the future, so it is very necessary to re-plan and set up the city to meet Ryan's basic needs, such as setting up multiple teleportation magic arrays, at least when Ryan wants to go to the surrounding important cities, he does not have to borrow from Vlar City as he does now. This is not something that Ryan can do if he is strong enough, and without Aledia's order, how can other cities sincerely cooperate with Ryan?
In addition, the rebuilding of the entire city requires someone to design, a large number of slaves to work, the daily management of the city requires elite talents, a certain number of troops are required to protect the city, and a large amount of materials are required to keep the city running...... All of this is complicated, but fortunately, Ryan has already experienced it once when Cassano was the lord, and now it can be said that he is familiar with the road, so he quickly sorted out a clue, he only needs to grasp a general direction, and the specific details can be handed over to the appropriate executor, so that they can implement it step by step.
Worried about the whereabouts of Victor and the others, Ryan and the others soon left Vlaar City and returned to Isopaton City, accompanied by the Latina sisters, and the intelligence director of the Maris Mistress was left behind to intensify the search, hoping to contact the lost Victor and them a day earlier. Upon returning to Isopaton City, Ryan immediately summoned the Mother of Mareth and the other families in the city, and asked Latina to announce what had happened in Vlar.
A series of heavy news made these family mothers dizzy, Ryan and Faraz were not dark elves, and Lord Aledia actually invited Ryan and them to become his subordinates, not to mention becoming official members, and at the same time had the qualifications to open up territory, which made the family mothers present have to re-examine everything that happened in front of them.
Of course, the mother of Maris was firmly on Ryan's side, and she was the first to stand up and express her willingness to become Ryan's affiliated family. Although this title is not very good, it often means the end of being swallowed up by others, but at present, Ryan does not belong to any dark elf family at all, so the word "annexation" is impossible to talk about.
Thinking that the human race is only tens of millions of people, and there is almost no real unity in the sense of conquest against each other, and the population of such an Isopaton city is about to catch up with one-fifth of the human race if you count slaves, so Ryan does not think that these families of the dark elves can be integrated in a very short time to form a new family, so he plans to adopt the kind of council system of the human six-party alliance, and the family mother who is willing to belong to Ryan will automatically become a member of this council, and then obtain the corresponding power according to the strength of each family, and the family with power will naturally have to pay the corresponding obligations for it while enjoying the benefits。
The future Isopaton City, plus the loot territory obtained by Ryan after his victory, will be managed in this form, Ryan himself is not involved in specific affairs, but he has the absolute qualification to increase and delete the list of members of this council, which is equivalent to holding the future life and death power of these families, Ryan can give them new power with a word, or deprive them of their existing power, and absolutely no one will express dissatisfaction, this is the minimum respect for a super strong lord.
The whole system was simply drawn up, and the families who were eligible to participate in this meeting naturally became full members of this council, and they were to jointly govern the city. On the surface, the Hrudian family and the mother of Maris seem to have lost a lot, but in fact it is not, as long as you hold the thigh of Ryan, a super powerhouse, even if she does not occupy any seats in this council, Maris believes that she and the family behind her will also hold the real power of Isopaton City, which is the meaning of the existence of a super power.
After arranging the affairs of Isopaton City, Ryan and the others left the city and re-headed to Vlar City after making all possible measures, and they must pass through the city's teleportation magic array in order to arrive in Alediar City and participate in the flag ceremony presided over by Aledia herself. In order to envelop the housemothers of those families, Ryan simply brought all the people on the list drawn up by the mothers of Mares for themselves to Aledia City, of course, this is also another way to show his heart to Aledia, at least let this future "top boss" know that Ryan still attaches great importance to the identity of this lord.
Accompanying Ryan and his party of more than 30 people to Alediar City was the Lady Terresis of Vular City, as one of Aledia's eight right-hand men, although she was not the strongest, she was the most proficient in foreign affairs, otherwise she would not have been stationed in Vlar City. On the way, Ryan asked about the pale crown as if chatting, and Terrysis knew what it meant for Ryan and others to join because she had been told by Aledia, so she immediately admitted that she had photographed the equipment, but now the crown was in Aledia's hands.
In order to show the sincerity of the dark elves, Tyrethes had little to hide from Ryan, and with the introduction of this guide, Ryan understood why the city of Alydiar was almost infamous, despite its importance, because this large city was a military fortress at all, a military camp that housed hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Under Aledia's orders, more than 600,000 elite soldiers were stationed in the city, and they were well-equipped and trained, and could be said to be an important force in Aledia's domination.
