I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 66: No Friendship Between Nations
Lin Ruoyu and Home Alone lifted the door curtain and left the tent where they had stayed for two hours. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces.

"Let's go find a place to hold a meeting. You go and notify the others to come."

"clear."

Soon, in another tent, Lin Ruoyu, several old players, and Home Alone gathered together and started their meeting.

Without saying anything, Lin Ruoyu told all the information he had obtained from Marion, with two main points.

First, Marion is the captain of the guard of the Minissian royal family, and he came here to find Prince Chris.

Second, the Bohemian Empire supported the Restoration Army established by the Grand Prince of Bagnia, while the Kingdom of Minisia supported the republic established by the revolutionaries.

"Wait, wait, let me sort out the situation."

Barbarossa scratched his head.

"I remember that the Minissian royal family and the Bagnian royal family are relatives. I've seen the background images of the game characters, and according to the relationship diagram, the Queen of Minissia is Prince Chris's grandmother, right?

Then, this captain of the royal guard named Marion... From your description, I can't quite say what this guy wants to do, what does he mean by bringing Prince Chris back to Minisia.

Was this abduction a forced kidnapping or an escort?"

"Also, I remember that the Kingdom of Minisia and the Bohemian Empire were enemies. Now, the Grand Prince of Bagniya is organizing the Restoration Army with the support of the latter, while the Kingdom of Minisia has come to support the revolutionary Republican Army that overthrew the Bagniya royal family.

There's something wrong with the relationship between these three countries, isn't it? It's a bit messy."

Another player stepped up and said, and a fourth person scoffed.

"No, it's not chaotic. In fact, if you just pay attention to real international news, you'll know that this is the norm. The complexity of politics, the relationships between countries, and the concepts of friendship and kinship are all false."

"So, we... are fine, and we didn't accidentally hurt our allies?"

Home Alone tried to say.

……

"There are no friendly forces. They are just potential enemies with unknown intentions."

When Chris received the report, he said this to Connie who was standing in front of him with a nonchalant look.

Connie didn't understand this and scratched her head in confusion.

"What about that man called Marion and those thirty or so prisoners?"

"Marion, continue the interrogation. I need to know the situation in Bagniya, especially the defense of Bolas Fortress. I want more specifics.

The remaining Minisians are prisoners of war. Let them work and come back to ask me when they have repaired the reservoir in Beach Town."

When Connie left, Chris stood up and walked to the wall of his office, where a rough map of the Kingdom of Bagnia was placed, which roughly recorded the areas controlled by the Red Restoration Army and the Blue Republic.

On the map, red and blue blocks intertwined, looking complex. However, Chris knew the information on the map was inaccurate. For example, Bolas Fortress was within the red block on the map, but according to the initial intelligence, it was under Republic control.

Specifically, the Bolas Fortress is now under the control of the "Volunteer" Corps sent by the Kingdom of Minisia and belongs to a third-party force.

Chris had no idea what this meant, and he didn't care.

After living several lives, Chris knows one thing very well... When you have the capital to be arrogant and don't need to care about the future, you can ignore some trivial matters.

After I die, I don’t care about the flood!

"It's time to make some moves... I'm afraid the players can't stand it if we continue farming."

Players have limited patience. They are willing to farm, but they don’t want a game to be just about farming. In their opinion, war and farming should be a process.

And Chris has to meet their needs, otherwise they will vote with their feet.

As a game planner, you cannot be aloof, detached from the player community, and ignore their needs.

From the game forum, Chris already knew that most of the one hundred players in the internal test were getting impatient with the current farming plot, and the other pre-registered players who were unable to enter the game were even more annoyed with the wait.

Their enthusiasm has declined somewhat, just like the reading data of a novel. When it starts to decline, the author should know that there is something wrong with his novel and he needs to make changes.

So, Chris had no choice. He needed to start a new storyline and create more space for new players to come in and give old players new fun.

Now Chris has only one problem: if he wants to move, where should he attack?
Attack Bolas Fortress, or other nearby towns and cities?
I don’t know. Let’s move first. First, move the team to the vicinity of Bolas Fortress and take a look. If we can fight, we’ll give it a try.

If you can't fight, see if you can take a detour. If you can't take a detour, then just give it a try and let the players die. When all the players die, retreat back to Biqi Town.

The town is remote and not easy to get out, which is both a disadvantage and an advantage. While it is difficult for the defense forces to attack, it is also difficult for the enemies outside to break in.

This means that even if the war is lost, as long as Chris runs fast enough, the enemy will not be able to do anything to him.

Winning the battle will open up a new world. Although there will be more enemies, Chris and the players never care about war or are afraid of it.

What if we lose the battle and lose Beach Town?
Well, Chris is already prepared for the next game version... He has already written the announcement for the Wandering Prince expansion pack in advance, and Chris will announce the next game version now.

As for if they really lost the war and had no place to stay in Bagnia, and had to flee, Chris had already chosen a place in advance.

Passing through the Reteria Empire, there are the Macon Confederation and the Pomerelian Confederation located on the southern coast of the continent. They are two countries with developed maritime transportation. I heard that they also have shipping ships to other continents.

If he really failed, Chris would think of taking their ships to escape to other continents. Whether it was to make a comeback or to live in anonymity for the rest of his life, both were good options.
