From this point of view, Jiayuan Province is not Li Li's ultimate goal at all.

Then after he leaves, he will inevitably need a qualified subordinate lord to manage everything on this side.

In addition to being a top expert in making magic runes, Ofaro also has a level of governance.

The problem is that Jiayuan Province will no longer belong to him, but will be an area under the control of the Invincible City.

After thinking for a long time, Offalo asked, "What have you decided to do about Akaj?" He was the son of the Dragon King. ”

"That's troublesome, I thought you could ask him for help, and we have a deep relationship with each other."

Li Li was a little surprised.

"Hmph, how can these half-dragons rely on their racial talent to establish an equal relationship with humans, I used to have to befriend him for the future of Jiayuan Province."

Offalo informed.

"In this case, then I might as well put it bluntly, I killed Akajie for the sake of the safety of Jiayuan Province."

"What?"

Ofalo had a look on his face that you were joking.

Jiayuan Province will soon become the mortal enemy of the Wanlong Principality, how can it be for the sake of safety?

"The reason is actually very simple, have you noticed that Akajie is an outlier among the half-dragons?"

Li Li asked.

"Uh.... However, the half-dragons are generally dominated by fire dragons, and Akajie is an ice dragon, which is still rare in their group. ”

"That's right, then think about it again, the strength of the Wanlong Principality is so strong, why didn't it attack Jiayuan Province?"

"Because of the frost and cold disasters in the snowy province."

Ofaro thought to himself that he was also a former lord no matter how he said it, and it didn't make sense that he couldn't even understand this.

"Then why is it that there are so many half-dragons in the Ten Thousand Dragons Principality, only Akajie has visited and formed an alliance with you?"

"You... You're saying that only Akaje can easily pass through the Snowman Province! ”

Ofaro was stunned.

To be honest, when he saw Aka's hair, there were only a dozen [Frost Dragon Guards] accompanying him, and he also muttered a little in his heart.

Now I understand that maybe other kinds of dragons can't fly through the Snowman Province at all.

"Yes, let's eradicate Akajie now, to remove the hidden danger from the root, instead of causing trouble, otherwise the other party will rely on the advantage of the dragon clan to attack at a high altitude without doing anything, and the entire Jiayuan Province will suffer."

Li Li informed.

"But when the hatred reaches a certain level, the other party will gather troops to kill it at any cost."

Ofaro believes that not all lords can see things rationally, not to mention that the other party is still a half-dragon.

"Regarding this precautionary measure, you must first establish a subordinate lord contract, otherwise you can't tell it casually."

Li Li gave conditions.

Offalo pondered for a moment, then knelt down on one knee.

"Dibori Ofaro, willing to be loyal to Li Li as the monarch and fight for the invincible city!"

Such a formal way to join, Li Li is still the first time to encounter.

After clicking Confirm in the system panel, he has one more subordinate liege.

In fact, he also considered using the Blue Star Lord, but because of the nature of the Blue Star Lord, he could rebel.

It's still a little bit unreliable, and this time it's a real control strategy to be implemented in Jiayuan Province.

It's not as simple as being in charge of a certain city-state, and it's really difficult to choose the right one from among the Blue Star Lords.

At the same time, the ability to create magic runes also has a certain value.

Ofalo was the perfect fit.

"I'm just going to tell you this secret, don't tell it out."

Li Li reminded.

"Please rest assured, lord."

Ofaro gave a firm look of reassurance.

"When I first arrived in the Snowman Province, I occupied a territory in the central region, and there was a temple to the god of extreme cold underneath it, and I got some lava to set up a mechanism, and I accidentally flooded the temple when I discharged it."

When Li Li said this, the corners of Offalo's mouth twitched.

I thought to myself, this is blasphemy, why can I look so relaxed.

"Later, after trying, I found a rule, as long as the statue of the god of cold is submerged by magma, then as the magma height rises, the frost and cold disasters in Xueman Province will intensify, the current state, is the position of the foot and neck, the half-dragon people are already reluctant to set foot in Xueman Province, I want to fill the magma to the knee position of the statue, then even if it costs nothing, don't think about forcing it through.... What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable? ”

"No, no, this method really can't be passed on."

Offalo said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He suddenly understood why he lost to Li Li.

"But in that case, won't Xueman Province suffer?"

"No, the underground transportation network has been built in Xueman, and commerce and transportation will not be affected, and at the same time, the dependence on magma barrels can also enhance the control of the Invincible City over Xueman Province."

Li Li explained.

"I see."

"It's not enough to just understand, when I go to other areas to fight, the matter of regulating the level of natural disasters will be left to you."

Li Li informed.

"Me? This..."

Offalo was momentarily speechless.

"Yes, now is a period of high vigilance, under the Rune City Lord's Mansion, there is a secret underground railway dedicated to the temple, and I have completed the facilities for injecting and discharging magma, you can just pull the lever when you go, this seems to be not difficult, but it is related to the safety of Jiayuan Province, so you are the most suitable person in my opinion."

Offalo didn't expect that Li Li would let himself manage Jiayuan Province, and there was this layer to consider.

"Good!"

After a moment's thought, Ofalo agreed.

"Now it's time to talk about the Bloodsheath Duchy to the west."

"What do they have to talk about..."

Ofaro had a sense of foreboding.

"Don't you think that the existence of the Blood Sheath Principality greatly threatens the security of Jiayuan Province?"

Li Li asked.

"It's not that serious, the Principality of Blood Sheath has always been the largest buyer of inlaid runes, and their envoy has expressed that as long as Jiayuan Province has a stable supply, they are willing to maintain the peaceful situation forever."

Ofaro, of course, knew the threat of the Bloodsheath Principality.

However, due to the disparity in strength and the value of Jiayuan Province itself, the threat was resolved.

"Hmm... What if it's not stable enough? ”

Li Li said, handing out a piece of paperwork.

Offalo took it and was momentarily stunned.

According to the data recorded above, Jiayuan Province's inlaid rune exports to the Blood Sheath Principality last month were zero!

"What's going on? Why is it zero, is it because the other party didn't send someone to procure? ”

"It's not really, it's that I've used all the rune stones, and there's nothing left to sell."

When Ofaro heard this, he thought of the abnormal rune ability fluctuations on the golem and Li Li's body, and quickly thought of a possibility.

"You tried a large-scale rune refining?"

"Hmm."

"How big?"

"Before cutting, the rough stone is about 3 cubic meters."

Offalo rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

I thought that this was really not a force that I had established, and it was not distressing to squander my resources at all.

However, this is not the most outrageous, the most outrageous is to cut off the supply to the Principality of the Blood Sheath.

This is tantamount to giving the other side an excuse to start a war.

"Your Excellency, I suggest that you immediately assemble your troops and garrison them on the western border, and build additional walls to prevent the Bloodsheath Principality from raiding and entering the country."

Ofaro gives advice.

Jiayuan Province is still there, then he is still the nominal lord, if it is gone, there is a person in the surrounding area who can accommodate him.

"Don't worry about this, the addition of the city wall has been completed, but if there is a long-term confrontation, you really need to garrison it."

Hearing this answer, Ofaro breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Li does seem to be a little out of the ordinary, but there is one advantage that is still worth appreciating.

That is, no matter who the enemy is, he will never be cowardly.

Even if it can't be defeated at the moment, it will be carefully deployed to minimize the threat.

"I'm going to get the job done."

"Well, the other thing is that your reputation here is a bit low, so we have to find a way to use this Akajie to improve it."

Li Li glanced back at Akajie's corpse in the big pit, and soon made a decision.

The next day, a legendary story spread in Runeterra.

The general meaning is that the Principality of Wanlong has always coveted the rune industry in Jiayuan Province and wants to keep it for itself.

and sent Akaje, the son of the Dragon King, to threaten Offaro again and again.

Offalo endured the humiliation and carried out the plan, pretending to be defeated and fleeing, and finally joined forces with the great Invincible City Lord Li Li to slay Akaje.

There may seem to be a lot of doubt in this story, but the fact that the walls were frozen by Akaj is obvious to all.

In addition, Li Li recognized the authenticity of this story, so naturally no one dared to question it anymore, and quickly accepted the fact of Ofaro's return.

The next step is to study a strategy against the Bloodsheath Principality.

Li Li led the team to the western border, and found that due to the disparity in strength, the Blood Sheath Principality did not make too many defensive arrangements at the junction.

There was only a small outpost in the distance.

By collecting intelligence and consulting the history books of the National Chronicles, Li Li learned that the Principality of the Blood Sheath was an extremely belligerent force.

Forty years ago, after annexing the territory of the Seven Provinces, it formed the current Principality of the Blood Sheath.

The main population is humans, the belief is the god of fighting, and the technology tree is basically all about war.

At present, the biggest enemy is the Rhine League, a coalition of forces formed to protect itself.

The two sides are currently at a stalemate.

In the western border fortress, Li Li looked through the information he had collected, Wang Qiang walked into the room and informed: "There is a person named Xueru under the city wall, who said that he wants to come to see you on behalf of the Principality of the Blood Sheath. ”

"How many?"

"She's the only one."

"Even one person dares to come, fierce enough, let her come up."

Li Li's additional city wall is not as simple as adding one or two floors.

Engaging in this kind of behavior on the border sends a signal that is quite unfriendly.

At the end of the day, a female warrior wearing light armor and a bronze complexion walked into the room.

[Blood Sheath Juggernaut] Blood as Lv.72

"You are Li Li?"

Bloody eyes scanned the room, and finally fell on Li Li.

"Yes."

"Will the inlaid runes still be available?"

"No, it won't."

"Do you know what the consequences of this will be?"

Blood squinted eyes.

"I don't know."

"Hmph, it looks like you've been ready for a long time."

"Yes."

"Hmm...."

Bloody suddenly felt like there was nothing to say.

Because no matter what you say, the other party doesn't care about it.

"Then wait for the wrath of the blood sheath."

"Wait."

Hearing Li Li stop himself, a faint smile appeared on Xueru's face.

"Is this a reversal?"

"No, I want to ask if you can call in five days? I still have something to do and can't stay at the border for too long. ”

"You're deliberately provocative, aren't you?"

Blood was silent for a long time, and his face showed a fierce light.

"No, I'm really busy, you guys should fight as soon as possible."

Li Li said helplessly.

"Good! I'll bring someone here in three days. ”

After Bloody said with resentment, he turned to leave.

"Yes, it seems that the other party's attitude towards war is quite professional."

Li Li praised.

Offalo on the side was a little speechless.

Although there is a high probability that the relationship between the two sides will move towards war, there are weak parties who take the initiative to seek war.

Late that night, Offalo, who was asleep, was woken up.

"Sortie?"

Just as he wondered if he had heard it wrong, a motley of footsteps sounded inside the western frontier fort, and the outside of the bed was illuminated by torches.

In a short time, Li Li completed the assembly at the commander level, led the corrupt troops, and launched a surprise attack on the border outpost of the Principality of the Blood Sheath.

The other side was basically unprepared, and the number of troops was also extremely disparity.

The outpost resisted for less than 20 minutes, and all the fifty or so soldiers were captured.

"The despicable Rhine League is actually attacking in the middle of the night!"

The tied [Blood Sheath Commander] knelt on the ground, still shouting and scolding.

"Such an adult doesn't know the sign, this is the sunflower flag, the invincible city it represents."

Li Li pointed out.

"Hehe, come less, the camouflage trick of many years ago, the despicable Rhine League, dare not grasp it and let it go, let's fight it alone under the witness of the God of Fighting."

[Captain of the Blood Sheath] stiffened his neck, still holding his opinion.

"Are you stupid to fight? We are from Gia Yuan Province, understand? ”

Li Li continued to try to explain.

"Hehe, Jiayuan Province dares to invade the Bloodsheath Principality, don't be kidding, despicable Rhine League..."

"Chop!"

Li Li is really impatient with this kind of heartless person.

However, the remaining soldiers still believed that the Rhine League had fought from the rear, and resolutely did not believe that Jiayuan Province had succeeded.

Li Li was depressed and sent them all back to the west.

Later, through the investigation of the documents in the outpost, it was found that when Xueru returned, he did not give any information about Jiayuan Province.

As for these soldiers, they didn't pay any attention to the matter of building the city wall.

"I said Offalo, is your presence so low?"

Li Li was a little incomprehensible.

"According to the situation of Jiayuan Province, of course, we must be kind to others."

Offalo didn't see the problem.

The other party didn't take himself seriously at all, and Li Li couldn't even recognize the battle that it was, and it was the first time Li had encountered it.

"Okay, but after that, it will be different, Invincible City will soon become an opponent that the other party will not ignore."

After Li Li finished speaking, he quickly threw out groups of [sandy squares], and countless yellow sand builders quickly took shape.

"Sovereign, what are you going to do here?"

Offalo asked.

"Test my newly developed tactics, wall advances."
