Chapter 255 Douglas' Proposal

That's right.

Rampage is not the end.

Instead, this is just the beginning.

While searching for loot, the army of the Xianhe leader is also stepping up to rest and prepare for the next wave of offensive.

Goal, Maple Leafs collar.

The army led by Xianhe, which has a huge force of flying knights and ground combat puppets, is completely unreasonable, and almost pushes all the way.

The resistance encountered was almost negligible.

The maple leaf collar, which was weaker than the wrathful collar, also didn't last long, and was occupied in less than ten days.

Most of the top leaders of the Maple Leafs were captured.

After a short rest, the army of the Xianhe Army continued to move non-stop, continuing to conquer the remaining city-level territories in the wilderness sea area, the Doomsday Territory, the Misty Territory, and the Roaring Territory... all fell down one by one.

Even if a few of the territories gathered an army to stop the Xianhe leader, it would be futile.

finally.

When Xianhe led the army to attack Lord Thorn Island, the army from the main city of Purgatory finally arrived.

Twenty land knights led the team, and three purgatory legions.

This power is very strong.

Not to mention the twenty earth knights, each of the three purgatory legions consists of tens of thousands of knights, and each knight is at least a middle-level peak, and even half of them are high-level.

Three heavily armed purgatory legions are enough to make Xianhe lead the army to throw a mouse.

Although the battle puppets are very powerful, there are only two hundred of them after all. Maybe they can survive against a purgatory legion, but under the siege of three purgatory legions, they are likely to be dragged to death by exhaustion of energy.

As for the other knight orders, although most of them have the advantage in the sky, after all, the average level is lower, and they cannot occupy the advantage.

Therefore, when the Purgatory Leader's support arrived, the advantage of the Xianhe Leader's almost full-line charge disappeared completely.

The war is about to turn into a stalemate.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xiao once again summoned Cecil who was busy collecting spoils and transporting the people in the Purgatory Lord's Mansion in the rear.

"How many captive lords are there?"

"Including Rage Lord Douglas, there are a total of six city-level lords, three hundred town-level lords, and thousands of village-level lords. Among them, four city-level lords who have chosen to follow are Douglas, Doom Lord Aldrich, and Mist Lord Alva, Roaring Lord Alan. As for the town-level lords and village-level lords, they have all chosen to follow you." Cecil reported clearly.

"What about the remaining two city-level lords?"

"They are still considering it, and maybe after getting your summons, they will make the right choice."

"How strong are these six city-level lords?"

"The four who have surrendered are all high-level peaks, and the remaining two are senior earth knights."

"Well, it's interesting. Without the blessing of the main city-level crystal monument, he can be promoted to the earth-level with his own ability, and his talent is not bad." Lin Xiao is very interested in these two land lords, although he did not personally participate in the battle, But it is not difficult to guess that both of them should have been captured under the beating of the battle puppets.

After all, every combat puppet has just entered the earth level in strength, and is a senior earth level in defense. Under the siege of [-] puppets, even the peak of the earth level will not dare to be tough.

Although captured, it is undeniable that both of them are very strong.

At least no less than the Ernest trio who attacked and killed him back then.

"Speaking of which, until now, I have no real followers of the Earth Knight..." Lin Xiao thought.

"What are their names?"

"One is Andre, the lord of the mountain, and Baird, the lord of the silver moon. These two territories are one of the oldest city-level territories inherited in the wilderness sea area, and they do not follow any main city-level territories."

"Who among the prisoners knows them best?" Lin Xiao asked suddenly.

"...Perhaps Douglas can give you better advice." Cecil said with some uncertainty.

But Lin Xiao has already announced to summon Douglas.

As an aborigine in the wild sea area, you should know more.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, Andre is not afraid of death, and threatening his life is useless. But he attaches great importance to the inheritance of the territory. He once said that he would never allow the Chongshan Territory to disappear under his hands. It must be passed on.”

It was Douglas who spoke, and he provided Lin Xiao with extremely useful information as soon as he came.

The two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was very friendly.

After deciding to follow Lin Xiao, Douglas completely regarded himself as the number one follower. He not only actively helped Xianhe collect the loot and provided supplies, but also persuaded other city-level lords for Lin Xiao.

If it weren't for him, the remaining city-level lords might not have completely surrendered so soon.

Therefore, as a model among the captives, Lin Xiao gave him the freedom to act freely.

"The information you provided is very important." Lin Xiao affirmed the information he provided, "Then, the task of recruiting Andre will be entrusted to you."

Douglas was in high spirits: "I will definitely live up to your Highness's trust."

"Where's Silvermoon Lord Baird?" Lin Xiao continued to ask.

Douglas said with a smile: "Your Highness, Baird is an ascetic, and the territory is basically handed over to his younger brother Baiton, so he doesn't value the territory. Even if we smash the crystal tablet, we can't threaten to let it go He surrendered."

Speaking of this, Douglas suddenly looked at Lin Xiao, "Your Highness, although Baird doesn't value territory, he values ​​reputation very much. If you can fight with him and defeat him yourself, he will definitely give in immediately."

Having said that, what Douglas means is self-evident.

If Lin Xiao speaks in person, he promises that as long as he defeats him, he will be set free, and if he defeats him, he will follow him.

With Baird's reputation-heavy personality, as long as he is defeated, he will follow him wholeheartedly.

Importantly, while being held captive, Baird had no choice but to say yes.

"Very good, then I will subdue Baird myself." Lin Xiao nodded lightly.

In fact.

It is naturally the most time-saving and labor-saving method to directly smash the crystal tablet and take away all the resources and population.

But this kind of predatory war cannot maximize the use of spoils.

The best way is to take away the best resources, the strongest knights, and the best professionals, leaving a small population of resources and maintaining the existence of the territory.

This is the maximization of benefits.

The most important reason for this is the lord's crystal monument.

If they were all packed away and the entire territory disappeared, even if all the population was taken to the Xianhe Territory, most of them could only be allocated to some islands that could not be covered by the lord's crystal monument.

However, if the lord is completely subdued and becomes a subordinate territory of the Xianhe Territory, some of the lords can stay and continue to enjoy the benefits of the lord's crystal monument.

It is equivalent to that within the scope controlled by the Xianhe Territory, the number of citizens who are radiated by the lord's crystal monument is even greater.

This is especially important for the improvement of the overall strength of the Xianhe collar.

This is also the reason why even if it is as strong as the main city-level territory, it still maintains a large number of subsidiary territories.

after all.

Even the main city-level crystal monument cannot cover the entire sea area.
