Chapter 2131 A Special Attraction
"Haha~ That's really something~ They're quite serious."

Blaze flipped through the papers Robert Kreve had scattered on the table. They were flawless application documents, and if it weren't for the fact that the location was Orcish Lands, he would have thought it was a very sincere application document.

“You can still laugh? Do you know what this document means?” Herbie patted Blazer on the shoulder and said indignantly, “They made every step of the process flawless because they know we will only follow the rules.”

“They’re bullying us honest people.”

“Oh~ a good person certified as a bad guy is quite valuable.” Blazer smiled, but Herbie interpreted his nonchalant attitude as an attempt to distance himself from the matter.

The reason for the cheerful smile is that they are watching the show from the sidelines.

“I’m here but I still want to leave!”

She immediately yelled and ran behind the chair, spreading her arms to become a human lock, but unfortunately her arm span wasn't long enough; she could only reach Blazer's chest at most when hugging him from behind the chair.

"Alright, alright, I'm not kidding you anymore. I'm laughing because someone told me about this not long ago, and I didn't expect it to come true so quickly."

Blazer patted Herbie's little hand and lifted her to a chair next to him, intending to make her behave.

Once seated, Herbie, being mischievous, slid the chair closer to her with his toes, grinning mischievously.

"Why don't you find a chair and sit down? This is also related to the orcs," Blaze invited Lottie and Helvie.

Lottie readily found a suitable chair and sat down, while Hervy shook her head, declining Blazer's offer and insisting on standing in the audience.

For the first time since its inception, the Olympiad Committee was fully assembled. The other four representatives were incredibly excited, especially the representative from the Kingdom of Giants, who looked at Blaze with unparalleled fervor, as if gazing at an idol.

“Ahem, everyone, let me first share my understanding.” Blaze placed the review application in his hand on the table, his fingers interlaced. “I don’t think their goal is really to build villages and occupy land in the orcish region.”

"Their real goal was for the committee to get them to abandon the construction of the village itself."

“That’s what we suspected too. In fact, these people who are standing out aren’t the only ones trying to exploit loopholes in the special policies.” The representative of the conglomerate alliance was a capable-looking middle-aged man wearing glasses. He adjusted his glasses and gestured with a thin board in his hand.

It was a kind of divine technology used to record intelligence. Even though divine technology was reviving, many people still rejected it, not only because they were not used to it, but also because they were aware of its dangers.

Using the technology of the Age of Gods means being limited by the highest technological achievement of the Age of Gods, Ark AI Jasmine.

Although those ancient technologies all had protection agreements, even paper or animal skin contracts were not guaranteed, let alone something that could only be seen but not touched.

However, the Zaibatsu Alliance did not hesitate to purchase large quantities of Hermes's Travel Hat, which used the technology of the Age of Gods to record some extremely important data and intelligence.

This is not only because of the prestigious reputation of "Hermes' Traveling Hat," but also because it is a proactive gesture of goodwill towards Blaise.

Trust is mutual. They expressed their trust in Blazer and Shindai Technology, so Blazer would also feel some goodwill towards them. Herbie's face fell when she saw the Zaibatsu Alliance representative taking the initiative to demonstrate Shindai Technology. Her little face was sullen, and she moved her chair closer to Blazer.

The Zaibatsu Alliance is a competitor of [Hermes' Travel Hat]. Individual Zaibatsu are not a force to be reckoned with, but when they come together like this, it becomes quite troublesome.

Now they're actually showing goodwill towards Blazer right in front of her; that's just too arrogant.

Herbie subtly shifted the chair he was sitting on, practically pressing himself against Blaise.

"Other kingdoms with smaller land areas also wanted to take advantage of this special policy. However, the other kingdoms chose to expand their lands into truly uninhabited areas and build villages. To this end, they also held kingdom events to recruit outsiders to explore the land."

"This situation itself is the purpose of our special policy. Helping those impoverished areas is only the surface purpose, while enabling these small and medium-sized kingdoms to expand their land is the hidden purpose."

“Well, I hope you can be a little more rigorous in this regard. I think there are still quite a few kingdoms that are just trying to take advantage of the situation, using the guise of expanding their territory to collect a one-time participation bonus, and they don’t intend to operate in the long term,” Blazer said.

Sometimes, a small kingdom remains a small kingdom not because it lacks sufficient military strength to defend its territory, but because it simply lacks the ability to manage it well.

This ability relates to population, policy, economy, and so on. If it is not managed well and the land is left to fall into the hands of other kingdoms that are capable of managing it well.

According to the laws recognized by all kingdoms, those who manage land can also become landowners, which is a fairly mild way of seizing land.

Arcadia had encountered such a crisis before. Due to the blessing, the Arcadians were few in number and lacked the energy to care for such a large land. But whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the land of Arcadia was always roamed by filthy werewolves, which was very dangerous, so no one tried to develop the land of Arcadia.

"Understood." The representative of the conglomerate adjusted his glasses and snorted at Herbie.

Despite being a middle-aged man, Herbie sensed a sense of crisis, an attraction that transcended gender and was called competence.

“I don’t think most of the kingdoms would do that. After all, if the Olympia tournament goes on track, then war will be abolished. They won’t have to worry about their land in other regions being violently seized. This is their only chance to expand their territory and strengthen their national power.”

After Herbie coughed lightly, he exchanged a glance with the representative of the financial conglomerate alliance, and it was as if lightning struck each other in the void.

"The main focus is still on the small and medium-sized kingdoms represented by Robert Kreve and Aldridge, which have now developed into the most troublesome situation."

"The most troublesome?" Blaze's first thought was that the villages built by the small and medium-sized kingdoms represented by Robert Kreve and Aldridge on orcish lands had been discovered by the orcs.

Orcs value their territory highly, and even herbivorous orcs will attack aggressively, especially when orcs and humans have reached a tacit agreement of non-aggression.

The fact that humans are now building villages on orcish lands is a deliberate act of provocation, which is beyond reproach.

"It's more complicated than you think. They've already let the people move in, and the village construction is complete."
