Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard Chapter 1401

Latest website:

Rosen was the pseudonym he used when he met Archduke Jonathan.

Generated directly by the lord system.

It's like covering it with a layer of information disguise.

Even if Grand Duke Jonathan has certain lordship authority, his true name cannot be explored.

Including later, those "ghost" lords tipped him off.

Reported on the new name Zong Shen.

However, in formal communications and correspondence, Grand Duke Jonathan still calls him Rosen according to written etiquette.

Put aside the small issue of titles.

What really concerned Zong was the keyword [New Kingdom of Avalon].

"What does that old Bidden mean?"

"Does this mean you are planning to become king on your own?"

Rubbing his smooth chin that had just been shaved in the morning, Zong Shen pondered the motives of Grand Duke Jonathan.

When he first got up in the morning, he used the strategy module to review the information.

The recent Archduke Jonathan has not acted rashly.

There are only two aspects that he focuses on.

The first is to continue to earn points through the Lentax battlefield and continue to strengthen the soldiers and forces under your command.

The second step is to consolidate the existing territory and clean up the various shortcomings left over from previous mistakes.

This includes expelling churches, purging gangsters in various places, increasing city taxes, increasing the proportion of military expenditures, etc.

Most of the giant cities within their jurisdiction began to recruit troops in advance to prepare for the rainy day.

First, expand the number of soldiers by 30% on the original basis.

At the same time, a large amount of funds will be used to support the training of new recruits.

The last step is to increase the intensity of commerce and double the trade volume.

The types of transactions cover food, mineral materials, weapons, magic equipment, various instruments and necessary production components.

Such a move would definitely take the lead among the indigenous forces.

After all, he is an "awakened one" among the indigenous people, so it is understandable that he will take more radical preparation measures.

However, the information in the strategy module did not mention that Archduke Jonathan was preparing to establish a country on the spot.

Therefore, this letter is either a bluff and a test, or it is the other party's impromptu idea.

Zong Shen did not want to cooperate with Grand Duke Jonathan.

Not only because there is a clear competitive relationship between the two parties.

It was even more because he had some incompatibility with Grand Duke Jonathan.

I'm afraid they won't be able to pee in a pot at all.

There is no point in making excuses in a short period of time.

And even putting this aside, Archduke Jonathan is not a qualified partner.

He has a bad temper and acts impulsively.

Even with the status of Awakened One, it made him a lot more rational.

But the violent nature in his heart cannot be changed so easily.

To sum up, no matter whether this proposal is true or false, Zong Shen does not intend to agree.

In order to kill time, he patiently read the official letter with heraldry on it.

Quickly scanning the contents of each line, Zong Shen had a sarcastic smile on his face.

The wording of the letter was very formal, and the general idea was to invite him to dinner after the transaction.

Discuss cooperation matters.

He intends to establish a so-called orthodox new Kingdom of Avalon.

As Grand Duke Jonathan, who has a pure lineage of Pendragon, there is no problem in calling him orthodox.

It's just that in the letter, he devalued his brothers and royal nephews as worthless.

Many charges were also attached.

Probably for the sake of becoming famous as a teacher, so that he can stand up and become king in a legitimate way.

At the end of the letter he also talked about new conditions.

That is the territory that can help Zong Shen in his subsequent attack on the Salander Sultanate or the Kingdom of Nord.

Give him the opportunity to establish a principality or even a kingdom.

It sounds like a mutual aid agreement, but it actually has no effect at all.

Zong Shen estimated that Grand Duke Jonathan had found out something from the Ergouzi lords who had taken refuge in him, and knew that the development progress of someone in his sect was far ahead of all the lords.

That's when I came up with the idea of ​​dragging him into the water.

Little did he know that Zong Shen had no good impression of him at all, and his status as a grand duke did not have any credibility. In terms of pragmatism, he was not as good as Zong Shen in the slightest.

The last time Zong Shen used Prince Carter to exchange people with him.

It was completely accidental that the lord system intervened and signed a binding contract.

Unless there is a similar contract and clear benefits, Zong Shen will not consider it at all.

He sneered and raised his hand to put the letter on the candlestick and burn it.

But just as the edge of the letter touched the core of the fire, he pulled it back.

This letter is relatively formal, with a emblem printed on it and a seal sealed with a lacquer seal.

According to the standards of Avalon nobles, this is a letter with publicity effect.

Just in case, Zong Shen kept it away.

In the future, they might be able to try to provoke a conflict between the aboriginal forces and Grand Duke Jonathan.

This letter is evidence that Jonathan intends to make himself king.

Avalon is now on the verge of falling apart.

Even though those grand dukes and aristocratic groups are ambitious, have you ever seen anyone publicly declare that they want to proclaim themselves king?

Whoever opens this mouth first will easily leave something to be targeted.

Those ambitious people will have a reason to join forces temporarily, at least first to eliminate this competitor who jumps out.

Therefore, this letter is still valuable!

If necessary, you can disgust Grand Duke Jonathan.

Grand Duke Jonathan, Grand Duke Chloë and someone from his clan were like sandwich bread.

The two lords are thick and sweet bread.

And Zong Shen is the little bit of sweet filling sandwiched in it.

If he wants to develop, he can only cut his flesh from Jonathan and Grand Duke Chloé.

There may be the possibility of cooperation with several other big names.

But these two guys are destined to become rivals.

Among them, the awakened Archduke Jonathan is more difficult, so it is worthy of his extra attack.

Shaking his head, he put away the letter and thought about how to start a dispute.

It would be best if this dispute would not affect the development of the territory.

The trouble caused by Grand Duke Chloé has already been caused, and the next wave will definitely have to change its target.

What's more, Grand Duke Jonathan is not stupid. His and Grand Duke Chloé's control areas are next to each other.

The current greater probability is that they are afraid of each other.

"Well, the provocation is not urgent for the time being."

"No matter how fast the overthrow of the kingdom begins, there is still a year and a half left."

"This is the general trend."

"No matter how much Archduke Jonathan pushes it, the necessary preparation time cannot be avoided."

Zong Shen knew this very well.

Becoming a king is no child's play.

Whether it is detailed decisions or preparations for recruiting troops, it takes time.

This is true even if Grand Duke Jonathan has points blessing after awakening.

So it's not an immediate matter.

After putting away the letter, he looked at the [Image Crystal].

He didn't wear black gloves, and his more than 10,000 points of [wisdom] allowed him to easily mobilize magic power.

After inputting some magic power into this [Image Crystal], it suddenly lit up.

Projects vivid images.

In the picture is Archduke Jonathan wearing a ducal dress.

The background is a little blurry, but it shouldn't be in a large tent, but more like in the drawing room of a castle somewhere.

"Mr. Rosen."

"You are a powerful and disrespectful fellow."

Archduke Jonathan was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face.

His speaking style was as arrogant as ever.

There are also those who must retaliate.

Because he still remembered Zong Shen's blunt rebuttal to him.

In his opinion, this was quite disrespectful behavior.

It's a pity that [Image Crystal] can't reply, otherwise Zong Shen would definitely ridicule this guy on the spot.

Crossing his arms, Zong Shenquan pretended to be watching a show.

After saying these two sentences, Grand Duke Jonathan put the wine glass on the passing waiter's tray and immediately put away the frivolous smile on his face.

His eyebrows were slightly frowned in the style of the Pendragon family, showing a rare look of seriousness.

"My lord, I will make a short story."

"You are the best among the chosen ones."

"We all have a chance to compete in a new era."

"The continent is so vast, it's time for the Seven Kingdoms to reshuffle their cards."

"As long as you join forces with me, we will surely take the lead as soon as possible!"

"Before the trouble comes, occupy the kingdom-level territory first. This will lay the foundation for us to become the hegemon."

"In the future competition for hegemony, everyone will rely on their own abilities."

“Two wrongs don't make a right.”

"Titt for tooth, violence for violence, will not help solve the problem."

"I am willing to put aside the holiday, but what about Your Excellency?"

"I sincerely hope that you can make the wisest choice."

"Well, see you when the deal comes."

Grand Duke Jonathan looked much younger when he said these words.

Mainly because of his energetic and energetic temperament, which makes him look young and powerful.

The image projected by the crystal ended abruptly.

The final scene was Archduke Jonathan picking up a new wine glass from the waiter's wine tray and toasting from a distance.

This actually echoed his previous behavior of placing the wine glass.

Moreover, even Zong Shen had to admit that there was some truth in what Archduke Jonathan said just now. At the very least, he emphasized the need for cooperation.

But Zong Shen knew very well that there was no clear benefit.

If there is not even a verbal commitment, it can be regarded as pie-in-the-sky.

Predictably, wait until the trading day arrives.

Archduke Jonathan will definitely try to recruit him into the group.

It can be seen that Jonathan attaches great importance to the power of the lord.

"Old Bidden has started to deceive people."

"Are they not the ideas brought to him by those Ergouzi?"

Pouting his lips, Zong Shen also put away this [Photographic Crystal].

He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip of the red wine brewed by the territorial winery.

The taste isn't very good, but that doesn't matter.

Anyway, he basically drinks this stuff like water.

Putting down the wine glass, he immersed himself in the storage compartment.

Then he took out a strange-looking ring.

The band on this ring looks very weird.

Not a gem or a diamond, but a strange face carved from green stone.

It looks quite scary.

Moreover, the shape of the strange face is exaggerated, with bloated cheeks, narrowed eyes, and a huge, astonishingly curved mouth, maintaining an expression of manic laughter.

There are large wrinkles under the nose and eyes.

Make the strange face look particularly treacherous.

In contrast, the ring body is unremarkable, with a golden color and a milky white halo on the surface.

This ring is the [Ring of Greed (Unknown)].

At that time, the strange face on the ring claimed to be the God of Greed, and constantly bewitched Zong Shen. On the surface, he wanted to fulfill his wish, but in fact, he coveted the soul and future of someone in Zong.

Eventually, Zong Shen expressed his desire to become the supreme lord.

Directly burned the so-called God of Greed CPU.

In this process, Zong Shen also achieved a state of [overcoming greed].

The entire [Ring of Greed (Unknown)] is undergoing a mysterious transformation.

He got this thing when he was in the giant city of Lentax.

The relevant information at that time was as follows:

[The Ring of Greed (Unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[Effect: Greed (pay the price to realize greed and wishes, the specific effect depends on the individual's greed)]

[Overcoming greed, the ring is transforming]

[Estimated remaining conversion time (10 days, 21 hours, 39 minutes and 17 seconds)]

Now the conversion time is over.

He wanted to see what had happened to the ring.

After he overcame greed, could the wish-making effect of this ring be retained?

Zong Shen still had some expectations for this.

Originally, items of the [Unknown] level basically had magical effects.

And this [Unknown] item that has gone through overcoming reversal will probably have even more magical effects in the end!

Just when Zong Shen was about to look at it carefully ~www.mtlnovel.com~ the man's face full of greed and laughter slowly opened his eyes.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie!"

The strange face of the ring let out a strange laugh, causing the originally hard green stone to become as soft as plasticine.

It came alive flexibly.

Zong Shen was looking at Zong Shen with his dripping eyes.

"You overcame greed and turned it into ambition."

"And I am the God of Ambition!"

Zong Shen gently held his forehead, but he didn't expect that even after he overcame his greed, this noisy Jie Nian would still change the soup without changing the medicine.

"You don't still want me to make a wish to you, do you?"

He couldn't help but asked sarcastically.

"Jie Jie Jie."

"Make a wish?"

"No fun!"

"You can accept the corresponding ambition mission from me!"

"You are free to decide whether to accept it, and there is no penalty if you fail!"

"It's just that at the same time, you can only take on one mission at most!"

"Every once in a while, the task options will be refreshed in real time based on your development!"

Wei Lian Jie Mian said quite excitedly.

He looked like he was spitting.

"Ambition mission?"

"Sounds like a specific mission panel."

"The most important thing is that you can take it freely and there is no penalty for failure."

"If you can really satisfy this, wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

Zong Shen thought about it in his mind for a while.

If the [Ring of Greed (Unknown)] really undergoes similar changes.

Then it is equivalent to a radical change.

For Zong Shen, this is a proper treasure.

Of course, considering the misdeeds of the Ring-faced Monster, we can only listen to its words first.

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and let the strategy module find out.
