"Regarding the general's intention, Taina has explained to me in detail, but the national policy has been decided, and it cannot be changed without authorization, and the rock can only be rewarded by clearing and suppressing, and cannot be canonized directly, otherwise it will be an injustice to those with lofty ideals."

The first to speak was King Ahsan, and there was not a hint of first-time acquaintance in his words, as if they had seen each other many times.

And so it was, he saw Gavin far more than Gavin had imagined, he just didn't know it.

"Your Majesty means fair play?" Even under the eyes of the princes and nobles of Cormier, Gavin is not stage frightened at all, people's courage is in contrast to strength, he was trembling in the face of the archmage of the palace, and he still remembers it vividly, lest the other party will destroy himself with a backhand, who dares to do this now, first ask the strategy lady if she agrees.

"Yes, fair play, I have gathered everyone who is qualified to do this, and what do you think about this matter, all of them will be brought out and discussed together." King Ahsan said very straightforwardly.

With just a few words, Gavin knew what King Asan had in mind.

He is basically raising Gu in politics, pushing himself and the existing major forces to the Gu breeding field of the rock at the same time.

In order to obtain this territory, they will definitely do their best to develop and fight for it.

No matter who wins or loses, the royal family of Obaiszir can benefit from it, even if everyone fails, they will not lose, because it is not their financial and material resources that have been used from beginning to end.

"How do you decide the winner of this matter? You can't just fight a battle, can you? It wasn't Gavin who asked, but another member of the chamber standing in the chamber, a woman on fire.

She has long fiery red hair, fiery red armor, fiery red cloak, fiery red full lips, flame-like eyes, exuding a flame-like charm, just being stared at by her has an illusion of being ignited, which makes people can't help but throw themselves into the flames, even if they know that they will be burned to ashes.

This man is none other than Gavin's biggest rival in the Rocklands, the leader of the Red Raven Mercenary Regiment, Reyana Rose, a quasi-legendary warrior.

At least Gavin originally had information that said that she was a warrior, but now he was not very sure, because she was filled with powerful flame magic fluctuations, and she was not cultivated like a nourish, but an innate awakening like a warlock, and the blood of the fire elemental descendant flowed in her body.

The Elementals are a hybrid of native humanoids and otherworldly elemental creatures, such as the Fire Djinn, the Wind Djinn, the Daou Wind Spirit, the Little Djinn, and so on.

Such an existence, in Faeron said more or less, has a strong regionality, which is related to the closeness of this land to the elemental plane.

There are very few hybrids like this in the Cormier Kingdom, and even if there are, they are mostly water elemental descendants, after all, this place is close to the Falling Star Sea, and there are more various types of water elemental creatures.

The most common occurrence of fire elementals and wind elementals is Gavin's hometown of Tassel, especially in the south of the Kalinsan Empire, where the blood of the nobles is more or less flowing with elemental blood, because in history, it was ruled by the empire established by the wind djinn Carlin and the fire djinn Mannon, and the war between the two reshaped the land, which continues to this day.

These elemental descendants are born with elemental energy flowing in their bodies, even if they are specialized warriors, they will not be ordinary warriors, but magical warriors.

"Of course we can't go to war, we're building rocks, not destroying him." The court archmage said with a serious expression, "Therefore, we will judge the victory or defeat by the way of construction, give you five years, you develop and build on the rocky side according to your own ability, and then calculate the results based on the total taxes you pay there, for the sake of fairness, we will appoint a special royal financial staff for you to follow up the whole process to ensure the authenticity of tax payment." ”

This plan of the Cormier Kingdom is obviously not the result of a slap in the head, but a careful calculation.

If you want to get more out of the rocks, you're going to have to spend a lot of money on all kinds of properties here, and in the end, it's not how much money you spend in it, but how much money you produce in it.

Playing that kind of shell company and paying taxes directly with your own money is a shortcut, but this method is obviously a stupid act of spending money to buy, and if you are not careful, you will lose all your pants, because you have no way to determine that you will pay more taxes than your competitors.

When Gavin heard this, he immediately came to his senses, he was good at this method, he was ready to peep into the road, and then a man who was a priest of trade, wealth and money, with a belly full of money-making business.

Far aside, he now has the City of Faith on the side of the Goblin Frontier, and the Land of Three Rivers on the Battle Valley.

Sandwiched in the middle of the rock, just as a transit function, do nothing, there will be a lot of wealth in the account.

He also has a lot of advantages that others don't have, such as paving roads and bridges in rocky ground, and tolls alone are very profitable.

The kobolds who have become large-scale are not comparable to ordinary people in terms of mining.

It's just a bit long, it takes five years.

Not.

This five years is only the time stipulated by the Cormier Kingdom, and it does not mean that it is the time used by yourself.

When they form a crushing situation that they can't reach, as long as their competitors are not stupid, they will take the initiative to stop investing, and even contact themselves to sell their property to themselves and take the initiative to quit.

Reyana's flame-like eyes shrank involuntarily, this proposal was extremely unfavorable to her, just look at her use of the mercenary group as a way of development, she and most of her subordinates were better at fighting than business construction.

This is also the crux of the problem, if you want to conquer the rocks, it is not as simple as defeating or killing the monsters here, stable construction is indispensable, King Yasan, they are afraid that it is Gavin's crazy ability to expand roads and build cities, she just singled out to accompany him.

But if she retreats without a fight, she is not in the dictionary of her life, and continues to ask: "What if the two competitors have their eyes on the same industry?" ”

"Before the official start, we will divide the rocks into regions, and each will develop in their own areas, the rocks are not a small place, I believe that in a short period of time, your development will not conflict." The Grand Mage replied.

"What to do with the losing party's industry?" Although Leyana has the blood of the Fire Elemental Descendant flowing in her body, her temperament is not so impulsive and irritable, but she is as calm as the Earth Elemental, not letting go of any detail that she can think of.

"There are two kinds of inheritances, one is the existing property that belongs to the kingdom, such as Tifanton, which will be recovered by the royal family and given to the winner, and the other part of the property that is completely developed by the loser, which will be valued and bought by the royal family as a royal property, or redeemed by the winner." The archmage of the court gave a plan for the foundation.

With this support, all participants can rest assured that they can invest in it without worrying about losing their money.

Gavin couldn't help but say at this time: "I don't think this matter can be so simple and one-size-fits-all, but according to the nature of the industry, such as minerals, cultivated land, this kind of industry should indeed be adopted, but the industry, shops, chambers of commerce this kind of industry is not necessary, I believe that no matter who wins, this kind of healthy competitor's industry can be tolerated, after all, this is a territory prosperity foundation." ”

This kind of territory located in the territory of the Cormir Kingdom, he can have the main control, there is no need to care about some small profits, there is this energy, there is land in the wilderness waiting for him to explore, it is completely autonomous, and there is no need to be constrained by the Cormir royal family.

With the development of strength, the meaning of his dominance over the rocks has changed.

Originally, he wanted to take the right to rule the rockland, but he wanted to use this place as his own place of rising.

Conquering it now is to serve as a transit point through his territory, and only by taking it can he connect the Goblin Frontier and the Conqueror's Road with the Valley.

The archmage of the court and King Yasan glanced at each other, and after reaching a tacit understanding, the archmage of the court nodded and said: "General Gavin's suggestion is indeed more reasonable, this matter will be further refined after it is decided, many things are not static, and they can be agreed again with development, and the most important thing now is to determine the members who will join this competition." ”

Gavin was the first to sign up: "I, Gavin Notte, volunteered to participate in this baronial controversy. ”

Leyana followed up and said, "I, Reyana Rose, volunteered to participate in this baronial battle. ”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ara Seline, the lord of Tivanton, stood up and said, "I, Aracelen Autumn, volunteered to participate in this baron dispute. ”

For the three participants, it was no surprise to anyone present, as they now have a close relationship with the rock.

"The royal family's suggestion is to divide according to the location of your current main forces, the rock land is the most barren and the largest area, belonging to General Gavin, the Red Spring reclamation area is divided by the Storm Cape Mountain Range and the Thundering Peak Mountain Range, and the north is under the name of Tivanton, and the city lord of Alaseline will be developed and developed by the head of the Reiana regiment in the south, this division is limited to real estate such as land and mining, and the three parties can carry out trade and business normally, and the other two parties must not deliberately obstruct it, I don't know how to divide it, are you satisfied?" When asking for opinions, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on Gavin.

Because compared to the other two, he suffers the most, although the rock land is large, it is the most problematic place, and the entire Hongquan reclamation area is to sell it here and tie it to it.

"I don't have a problem." If this division had been done a month ago, Gavin would definitely not have agreed, but now he nodded and agreed without thinking about it.

Because he is on the other side of the rocks, he already has the Goblin Frontier and the City of Faith, as well as a magical manor with good weather and rain, and he will have sufficient food supplies as soon as summer next year, and the demand for the Red Spring Reclamation Area is not high.

Even if he really gave the Red Spring Reclamation Area to himself, he didn't have so much manpower and material resources to develop, the main body of the conqueror's army, he was neither prepared to stay in the goblin frontier wasteland, nor was he prepared to stay in the rockland, the valley was the final destination, and he would not give up the development of other places just because he ate a rockland baron.

On the contrary, handing over the Hongquan Reclamation Area to other forces is tantamount to borrowing their funds and hands to develop their future territory, and when the time comes, they can buy all of them at the turn of their heads, is there a more cost-effective deal?

"I don't have a problem either." Reyana replied.

Abel City is the biggest backing of their Red Crow Mercenary Regiment, and their development is of course relying on this city to expand northward, which is why they knew that Gavin started as a kobold in the rocks and didn't make much moves.

Because they jumped into the rocky ground rashly, they themselves were in a hurry, which was extremely detrimental to development.

"I have no objection either." Alaseline said.

She is the Lord of Tivanton, her main sphere of influence, and of course everything depends on the city.

"Good." King Yasan showed a satisfied smile and said, "We have now been able to reach a basic plan in this matter, and the rest of the matter is to advance all aspects around this plan, and we don't need to do these details personally, let the people below negotiate, and then submit it for approval." ”

"Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.

"If there are no objections, today's court meeting will end here, and if there is anything, we will discuss it tomorrow." King Yasan concluded today's meeting.

What they have reached now is only a basic consensus, there are too many interests involved, and the land area is too large, and when everyone goes back, they will definitely have their own small meetings to discuss this matter in detail, and it is not impossible for them to discuss and argue about this matter for at least weeks or even months.

If the rocks had been so easy to develop, they wouldn't have been delayed until now.

After the princes and nobles of the Cormier Kingdom left the royal chamber, Gavin was led by Tynara to the side of the parlor, where King Ahsan and the archmage of the court were already waiting for him.

Gavin immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you for the guilt, the beast rage in the King's Forest was not caused by the Beast Cultists, but I detonated it when I was digesting the corpse of the plundering bear. ”

It is impossible for King Ahsan not to know about this, but they did not mention it in public in the royal chamber, which shows that they are not prepared to publicize this matter publicly, but to deal with it in secret, and as for the black cauldron, it is handed over to the believers of Khara, anyway, they will not refute it, and even if they do, no one will believe it.

Princess Crown followed and knelt down on one knee and said: "I am also responsible for this matter, but there is one thing that my father needs to know, those Zara believers secretly infected one hundred and fifty-two of our recruits and mixed into our recruit camp, because of the beast rage, the bestiality in their bodies was triggered in advance, and they were found and controlled in time, and did not cause too many casualties." ”

Hearing the news, King Yasan's face suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily: "These cultists are really pervasive and omnipresent, and they have sent a task force of war mages to carry out a comprehensive screening of the regular army, garrison troops, garrisons, and recruits across the country, and go through all the people to ensure that they have not been infiltrated by shapeshifters and beasts, this kind of screening is not a one-time screening, but a routine one-time screening, and it must be carried out once a month and every ten days." ”

As the lord of a country, the consideration of things will naturally not be limited to a new barracks in Luji Town, but focus on the entire kingdom, after all, the contradictions between them and the Zara believers have been sharpened, and the whereabouts of these cultists are secretive, and it is difficult to completely eradicate them, so they can only start with prevention first.

The archmage of the court bowed down and answered, "Yes." ”

King Yasan said with a solemn expression: "You are not guilty of this matter, and the merits and demerits are mixed, it is difficult to distinguish between them, and the merits are not overshadowed, and the merits are not concealed."

In addition to rewarding you with the bear forest you created, the royal district of Susar City will also reward you with a villa as your base in the imperial city.

You have to compensate those who lost their lives and destroyed their homes, and when all the damage is counted, someone will send you a bill. ”

"That's as it should be." Gavin breathed a sigh of relief, just to make financial compensation, this matter is easier to do, he is afraid that King Asan will let him resurrect all the innocent people who died because of this, that is the real trouble.

Although King Ahsan claimed to love his people like a son, he did not reach such a perverted state.

"I'm not done yet." King Ahsan continued, "This is just one of them, and the second is that you, as an envoy of the kingdom, have sent an envoy to Aroshi, the kingdom of the king's forests, to forge a covenant of peaceful coexistence with them. ”

"Okay." Gavin readily agreed again, because this is what he promised Queen Rattanahi as well.

"And the last one, the blood bear fruit produced by Xiong Lin, I want half of it." The crown princess had apparently reported the uniqueness of the bear forest to King Ahsan.

"I have no problem with dividing half of the Blood Bear Fruit, but there is one thing, I must inform Your Majesty in advance, all bears that eat the Blood Bear Fruit will be transformed into Blue Bear Worshippers, especially those enlightened non-intelligent bears, in terms of camp and feelings, they will be infinitely inclined to my side." This request did not surprise Gavin, and he had already expected it when he took out the Blood Bear Fruit.

"I know, I'll make good use of it." King Ahsan naturally has his own abacus, and the greatest value of this thing is not after the reward is given, but the temptation formed before the reward is given, which is the same reason that a baron of Iwadi will seduce three forces to develop Iwadi at the same time.

"A total of one hundred and twenty-one fruits have been harvested this time, and five have been used, which is fifty-eight." Gavin cleanly took out the remaining half of the Blood Bear Fruit, as long as this thing can transform bears and become blue bear worshippers, it doesn't matter who is in the hands, it will provide the blue bear with the power of totem faith.

If he didn't want to divide it, he wouldn't have taken it out in the first place, after all, Xiong Lin was in the territory of the Cormier Kingdom, and it was impossible for him to send a large number of troops to settle in, and he had to rely on the Cormier Kingdom for security.
