Chapter 31 - People\\\'s new image of Zhang Zhao
Locke issued a series of orders and left.
As soon as they went out, the discussion inside became louder. Excited voices spread far away. Locke understands them. After all, each of them has contributed to the development of the town. Now they also know that if they want to develop further, they cannot grow by forming a caravan or collecting a few small tribes.
Only by accepting more population, forming an army, and starting a war. to develop rapidly. But Locke didn’t want this, he was still very peaceful in his heart. Unlike other predecessors, how to develop and start the war as soon as they came here.
It is better to avoid war than problems that can be solved by gentle means.
Just like this time, Locke knew that they thought he was a sign of war by doing so. In fact, he simply wanted to expand the area of the town. Train the army to protect one-third of an acre of land.
In Locke’s ideal, his future city is a comprehensive commercial gathering place. To the north, you can do business in the Wilderness of Wiglott, to the south, you can do business in the human kingdom, and to the west, you can do business with the Orc Empire. Of course, these are all ideas in Locke’s ideals. Where there are people there are disputes. Therefore, it is necessary to have a strong strength to ensure their own interests.
In the conference room, Lawrence suddenly asked: “You said, is the Lord City Lord preparing for war, expanding the city, and recruiting troops?” Hearing his words, Hal also felt that it was possible, said : “I think it is very possible. If we want to grow, we must plunder other people’s sites and materials. Build more caravans. You think, the city owner allows the residents of the city to form mercenary groups, isn’t this a disguised expansion of combat power? With mercenary groups, we can have more caravans. Then we have more trade routes. There must be more commodities that can be sold. Where do these commodities come from? Only by plundering the specialties of other races and integrating them Only our city can meet the consumption of our caravan.” Hal expressed his opinion. Looking at Ellie again.
“Knight Avery, you are the bodyguard of Lord City Lord, who brought him to Wiglott just now. What do you think about the meaning of this step, Lord?”
Who knew that Eli said with a dead face: “I don’t care what your lord thinks, I only know that we will fight wherever your lord tells us to fight!”
Hal and Lawrence rolled their eyes.
Seeing that he couldn’t ask anything here at Eli, Hal turned his eyes to Zhang Zhao and said, “Master Zhang, although you have joined us for a short time, we all know that the Lord of the City values you, otherwise we will not put all the Internal affairs are up to you, what do you think about your plan this time?”
Hal asked respectfully, there is no way to be disrespectful, he has admired Zhang Zhao a lot these days. To exaggerate a little, it can be said to be omnipotent.
Zhang Zhao’s respect for them can’t be relied upon. Who asked him to do this kind of thing for two lifetimes, even if he didn’t know them well. However, he also replied: “I personally don’t think that the adults want to start a war. First, although we are powerful now, we have the knights of the Avery Knights, and there are elite soldiers. But we don’t have a suitable reason to start a war. However, when a war is provoked, no matter what others think of us, even those races who join us may have complaints. Think about it again, all these orders issued by adults are to build cities and choose troops to protect the city. Even newly recruited and trained Those warriors may be dispatched to guard the caravan. There is no idea of external expansion at all.”
When everyone heard Zhang Zhao’s words, you looked at me, I looked at you, and were completely stunned. Yes, the adults have not issued any war orders. Emotions are a group of us who are thinking about it here. Everyone couldn’t help but blushed.
Zhang Zhao looked at their faces and smiled strangely. Then he said, “But.”
Lawrence was the most impatient. He looked at Zhang Zhao but didn’t speak for a long time and was so anxious: “Oh, Mr. Zhang Zhao, you said it, but what, what did you see, say it, and let us take care of ourselves. get ready.”
With a smile, Zhang Zhao continued: “Your Excellency did not issue a war order, but that doesn’t mean that others won’t come to provoke us!”
Now everyone can’t understand, why would others attack us? We don’t seem to be that weak, we can fight if we want.
Seeing that a group of people still looked silly and sweet, Zhang Zhao simply said directly: “Think about that slave Yuna. The one who was executed by Lawrence, what did she say when she first arrived in the territory?”
Ellie said: “Yes, at that time she threatened the Lord of the City and said that the Dumeisha family had promised to send troops to protect them, but they were detained by us. When I led the knights to attack them, the Yuna woman also said that Same thing.”
Everyone just remembered.
“Could it be that Dumeisha came back to attack us? It’s impossible. The Yuna tribe is just a small tribe under Dumeisha. They can’t be so irrational, right?” Lawrence said.
Zhang Zhao continued to analyze, “Usually, Du Meisha would not attack us irrationally, but the Yuna clan increased their annual contribution to Du Meisha when the werewolf hunters attacked them~www.mtlnovel.com~ It was only when Du Mesa sensed to protect them again. Think about it, the group of Du Mesa just agreed to send troops to protect the Yuna people, and Knight Avery detained both of them. Who would dare to become their subordinate tribe and accept their protection?”
Only then did a group of silly white sweets come back to their senses. The problem was that the Yuna tribe, which Du Mesa had received protection for the second time, was detained by Eli knight. If the Dumeisha clan didn’t respond, it would be difficult to get along in the Wiglott Wilderness in the future. Maybe the subordinate tribes that have joined now have complaints.
After I figured out the key points, everyone was overjoyed. There is no excuse to rush to send an excuse. As long as the Dumeisha clan sends troops, I have a legitimate reason to send troops.
“What? Think about it? Think about it, Du Meisha sent troops to us, we have a reason to send troops, and a big battle will start. If we send scouts to attack those races that Du Meisha passes by, let Du Meisha send troops. If the Sha family takes a few black pots, a melee will break out immediately. It’s better to kill some of Dumesha’s rivals, triggering a war of attrition between the two major races. At that time, we will take advantage of the trend and use our powerful army to defeat them, or Incorporation, or forced migration. It’s a lot easier.”
Zhang Zhaopei was talking, but he didn’t see Hal Lawrence and the newcomer Calwater looking at him with strange eyes.
Everyone couldn’t help thinking: “Fuck, Zhang Zhaotai is insidious, insidious, treacherous, and shameless. You can use the words “Bi Lian” on him. If you don’t become a general in the human empire, you will be incompetent! If you become a general, the orc empire will be extinct by now!”
