Chapter Seventy-Nine: Five Years (Chapter 4: Asking for Subscriptions)
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Five years have passed, and everything has changed a lot.
Many, many things have happened during this time.
For example, in the kingdom of Kutu, King Kutu died of illness, and then Princess Oliman and Prince Griss competed for the position of King Kutu.
The two were opposed to each other, and for a time they caused a great war, but in the end, it was Princess Oliman who came to the end.
With the help of Chen Heng and many other followers, Princess Oliman won by a narrow margin and became the queen of the Kutu Kingdom.
In this process, Chen Heng played a huge role.
He once fought alone against the three knights of the kingdom of Olis on the battlefield, and by himself, he killed them.
After this battle, he was also hailed as a new generation of royal patron knights, taking the place of Coripo.
After obtaining the position of King Kutu, in order to repay Chen Heng and other followers, Oliman stripped the territory of a large number of lords who followed Gris, and gave it to her own followers.
After that last battle, the situation in the kingdom of Kutu gradually stabilized.
Oliman is the queen of the kingdom of Kutu and sits in the city of Kutu.
Chen Heng, as always, stayed in his Suoda.
Five years have passed, and Suoda at this moment is no longer what he once was.
If anyone who has been to this land in the past could see Soda now, he would be shocked by the changes in this land.
Compared to five years ago, most of Soda is still as barren as it was, except that many earthen forts have been built around it.
This is a kind of military building simplified by Chen Heng with reference to the castle of this era, although the defense is not as good as the real castle, but it is simpler to build, and the defense is not bad.
At least the orc thieves who have no siege equipment and are very poorly trained are most likely unable to conquer.
Scattered earthen bunkers covered Soda's borders, blocking out many alien races from the desert.
As a result, the cities in the rear received good opportunities for development.
In the past five years, the city established by Chen Heng has gradually become lively, although it still seems very simple and pedestrians are very scarce, but it is full of vigorous vitality.
If you look closely, you can see that in the farmland outside the city, many strange-looking aliens are working in it.
This is an alien slave that Chen Heng obtained from the desert, which is widely used in construction and labor, and has become the biggest target of oppression.
Every year, in the battle against the desert, a large number of slaves appear.
This is a slave of many uses and can be used in many places.
Those who are obedient will be taken to farm, and those who are disobedient and easy to hurt others will be charged to do some more dangerous things and use them as consumables.
It is with these brand-new crushing objects that Chen Heng's territory can flourish and develop so fast.
Ironically, a significant portion of these slaves were actually sold by their own tribes.
Unlike those lords in the past, after Chen Heng came here, on the one hand, he was fighting against the alien races in the desert, and on the other hand, he was also looking for ways and means to negotiate with the aliens.
He knew that although these aliens looked different from humans, they also had self-awareness and wisdom, but the level of civilization was much lower than that of humans.
But in any case, as long as there is self-awareness and wisdom, there is a possibility of negotiation.
Therefore, after coming here, Chen Heng has been working hard in this direction, wanting to negotiate with those foreign races.
Finally, after some twists and turns, he managed to hook up with several alien tribes and reach an agreement with them.
These alien races provided Chen Heng with a variety of specialties and slaves from the desert, and Chen Heng exchanged them for food.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of people in this era, Chen Heng's actions are very terrifying.
In the past, there may have been people who tried to trade with the aliens, but most of those people ended up dying at the hands of the aliens, and even became their dinner.
The vast majority of aliens are cannibals.
There must not be many people like Chen Heng who have not only successfully connected with foreign races, but also reached trade agreements.
In this way, he succeeded in obtaining a large number of specialties and slaves from the desert aliens.
Slaves could use it for their own use, extracting surplus value, and those specialties that originated in the desert only had to be transported south to generate high profits.
And what Chen Heng paid was just some food.
Grain, which could be very difficult for other Northland lords, especially with such large quantities of grain.
But for Chen Heng, who has mastered a business line and has been engaged in north-south trade all the year round, it is not too difficult.
Now, after all these years, under the leadership of Oliman, some nobles have also begun to engage in north-south trade, and there are some who are currently successful.
It's just that in this field, Chen Heng has the accumulation of the past, and his status can't be broken by others for a while.
Therefore, in the north-south trade, Chen Heng still occupies the lion's share, and he obtains a lot of benefits from it every year.
"Your Majesty Oliman, have you killed again?"
In the quiet courtyard, sitting in his room, looking at the person in front of him, Chen Heng asked.
"Yes. ”
In front of him, the man sighed, and then spoke: "This time, three families were accused of rebellion, suppressed by His Majesty Oliman, and several lords were stripped of their lands......."
"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Chen Heng couldn't help frowning.
In the past few years, with Oliman's ascension to the throne of king, her temperament has become more and more terrifying.
As early as when she was only a princess, under the influence of her mother, she had the habit of adopting lovers, and it is said that she had three or four lovers.
And after ascending the throne of the king and becoming the queen, she directly let herself go, and it is said that she collected beautiful boys from all over the world and kept them all in captivity in her palace.
This style, even if it is an aristocrat who has always been known for its chaos, is a bit excessive.
Of course, these are just personal style issues, and may not be much to others.
But after the queen ascended to the throne, her style became more and more tyrannical.
At first, it was fine, but later, almost every once in a while, some people were forced to die by him, and even from time to time, he deprived those nobles of their territories for various reasons.
This practice inevitably caused panic among many people.
And Oliman has no intention of stopping, but there are signs of becoming more and more terrifying and tyrannical.
Even Chen Heng couldn't help frowning when he saw it.
