The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 617 Invitation

Lewis nodded slightly, and straightened his back to face Queen Isona. He is the general manager of a company. Much more, compared to the difficulties of those provincial leaders in the real world, the brains of these earls in the game world are much simpler.

It is almost equivalent to the formatted brain of a program. There are only a few tricks and requirements that come and go. He was surprised at first, but after getting familiar with it, he is no longer surprised, but thinks it is too simple.

It's just that he can't handle the rules of the titles and aristocrats in the Calradia continent. Sometimes, those rules are dead rules, and sometimes they are very flexible. To put it bluntly, strength is king.

These days, he also understands that this is like the Ming Dynasty. Although it has declined, you still have to abide by some of their rules. Everyone plays under these rules. Those lawbreakers are equivalent to not following the rules. The Ming uprising army, like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu and others.

Queen Isona glanced at Earl Daigwilliam, "It's still the same tone, can't you say something else?"

Lewis hastily explained: "Your Majesty, you have to be patient. Only with territory and strength can we concentrate on development. And if we achieve this goal, we will make those rebellious families and great nobles equal one by one. The princes, then they will check and balance each other and attack each other, which also weakens the control of King Halaus in the Kingdom of Swadia in disguise. He will become weaker and need us than before, maybe he will play Balanced tactics, but there are always outstanding people, such as us, who will slowly develop and grow in balance."

Earl Dagwilliam said: "This is not bad."

Queen Aesona sat down, "Very well, send someone to contact the various princes and tell them what we mean. We need to sit down and discuss, and together we will empty King Halaus and let him guard his Palavin City. Be an earl and lord-style king!"

The crowd laughed.

After the meeting, Fang Ziyi and Lewis returned to their barracks. Their barracks was outside the manor. The manor was not just a courtyard, but a large piece of territory. A beach in a forest, a river, or a rocky field, etc.

Fang Ziyi lay comfortably in the large recliner prepared for her by the servants, turned her head to Lewis and said, "Isn't it bad for Queen Isona to mention this matter? Since she can tell everyone that King Harolds is being ostracized now, in the future , those loyal lords and some viscounts and barons are okay, but those earls, they are powerful princes, and they also hold Queen Aesona up."

Lewis crossed his hands behind his head, leaned back on the chair back, and answered Fang Ziyi with an indifferent look, "What does it have to do with us, anyway, you know that even if you don't do this, the Calradia mainland The feudal feudal system is equivalent to the king and is just a nominal leader. Everyone listens to him and does not listen to the announcement. He does his own thing. It is equivalent to many independent kingdoms. The king only has rewards and seals everyone's territory. rights, but those earls are equivalent to the rights proposed by the majority of the people in the parliament, and the king's rights sometimes seem to be subject to a lot of restrictions."

Fang Ziyi looked at the sky, "It's not good for us. Queen Aisona is the pillar we rely on. If she doesn't get too much power, she won't be able to restrain those lords, and our development will be restricted. The country is already under Zhang Qiang. Where did we get a lot of benefits? The day before yesterday, I heard that Zhou Porridge Zhou had reached an agreement with the country to allow him to establish a base in Zhang Qiang's territory, but our development has fallen behind a lot. The consortium has already raised a case of no confidence against us. Time is running out."

Lewis said weakly: "I'm tired. In the past few years in the game, I found that I was almost assimilated by the game world. If I continue to stay here, I feel that I will not be able to cope with the real world in the future, and I will not be able to adapt to the real world. Live, when Queen Aesona achieves results this time and has her own duchy, then it is time for me to quit the game world, I have to take care of my family, and I can no longer stay in the game world."

Fang Ziyi suddenly turned her head to look at him, her voice trembling with fear, "You really want to leave? Then what should I do? Tianci betrayed us and joined Zhang Qiang's command. He is too ambitious. I have you by my side What's the use of me being alone in the game world if you're gone?"

Lewis spread his hands and tilted his head, "That's your business, I decided to quit the company, but you don't have to worry, there are so many real-world travelers, you are not alone, but they are not like me and you The cooperation is so close, but with the salary of the company, they have to do something anyway, as long as the basic things can be done, that’s fine, our goal is not to compete for the hegemony of the game world, but to obtain a resource base.”

After a pause, he said leisurely: "The hegemony is a big thing, let a kid like Zhang Qiang play it! How old is he, he still fights for hegemony, he doesn't look like an adult at all."

Fang Ziyi stared at the sky in a daze, not knowing what to think.

***
Zhang Qiang, who was far away in Dherim City, had already sent the fifth group of envoys from King Harlaus. The news they brought was not good for him. King Harlaus had repeatedly asked for Dherim City to no avail. His relationship has changed from being good friends to one of looking at him with suspicious eyes.

If there is another wave of envoys, it will not be a negotiation. It must be a strong request for him to obey the king's order. If he does not obey, he will be charged with treason by King Halaus. At that time, Zhang Qiang can think of how many lords want to carve him up. , thereby supporting King Harlaus's charges of treason against him.

He is now hesitating whether to compromise temporarily and deal with it first, but he is a little unwilling.

He has been planning for Deherim City for several years, and now he paid a high price to take it down. After it was defeated, a lot of people immigrated. Now Deherim City has become a populous city with a population of 10 , 3000 floating population, [-] soldiers, of course, most of them are newly recruited recruits, and there are only more than [-] elite soldiers.

His [-] newly formed cavalry group has been scattered all over the territory to patrol and suppress bandits. Recently, there have been many soldiers and bandits who fled due to the war and disorderly troops around the territory.

Soldiers and bandits refer to those small groups of deserters and bandits who have no more than a hundred people and are gathered together by deserters and bandits. Their combat capabilities are not strong and their mobility is high. Almost outlaws.

And the rebellious army can still maintain its organizational system, with an army of between [-] and [-] led by some down-and-out knights or army commanders. They are soldiers who fled in whole groups during wars in various kingdoms.

Most of the outlaws led by the bandit leader and the bandit leader also gathered. A small group of outlaws with a number of dozens to more than 200 people also appeared around Zhang Qiang's territory, and even fled into Zhang Qiang's territory to cause chaos. It's all because after a period of peaceful development, Zhang Qiang's territory has regained its prosperity and tranquility, and it is profitable to rob his territory.

After these days of clearing up, basically clearing out large groups of soldiers and rebellious troops, the outlaws above the bandit leader have disappeared in his territory, and occasionally there are some small disturbances similar to public security cases that have already affected the prosperity of the territory And stability is fine.

After these days of training, the cavalry group has gained enough combat experience, mainly those newly joined militia cavalry and mercenaries, they have quickly integrated into Zhang Qiang's team and become a qualified cavalry of the Kingdom of Swadia up.

All have reached the minimum required cavalry level for cavalry.

This laid a good foundation for Zhang Qiang's next plan.

In the next step, whether it is to send troops to the Principality of Vikia or to fight against the princes and lords of the various Swadia kingdoms, his capital is absolutely strong.

Seeing that the relationship between him and King Harolds had dropped below freezing point, Zhang Qiang was also very anxious in his heart.

But there is no way, the negotiations between the various power groups have made no progress, and the Earl Grainward family, the Olaf Jar family, and Queen Isona have also sent goodwill to him. However, the Doruboye family with Varishien as the main speaker has an ambiguous attitude and even a tendency to be hostile. Said that he had robbed his territory, and Earl Sean, who became the lord of the Earls of Fort Lunvadia, Fort Malaga, and Fort Dremag, must also be unhappy, and he must be looking for trouble for himself.

Moreover, I am not familiar with Doruboye. Both of them have only met each other from a distance during the war with Wikia, and they have no contact during the battle. Therefore, it is impossible for two people who are not familiar with each other to build a good impression. Let alone a good relationship.

Perhaps they thought they were an upstart who had suddenly risen like the Count of Plais, and only heard his name, but not his person.

Olaf Jarr has already fought two wars with Doruboye's family lord army, because Olaf Jarr wants to transfer his fiefdom to the place where the former Nord's southern coast is now occupied by the Kingdom of Swadia .

They were originally Nords, so they must have a special liking for the place, but they are not used to the life in the Rhodok mountains. The place is much barren than the Nord coast, and the activities of criminals are rampant, and robbers or bandits often rush Come down, secretly capture the villages in their territory, and then entrenched there, attacking passing business travelers, or small patrols.

Given that the Nords are mainly infantry, chasing criminals in the mountains is simply impossible.

Maybe the lawbreakers can't do much harm to them. The Nord infantry still has a strong combat effectiveness, but if they can't find anyone, let you worry. You don't know when they will come out again and harm the countryside.

However, Earl Starma coveted their territory and sent cavalry from the Kingdom of Swadia to attack their patrols several times. Olafjar was very anxious under the oppression of the two families. Earl Zhang Qiang is the only friend or high-ranking lord they know in the Kingdom of Swadia, so they hope to get Zhang Qiang's help, and the tendency to move closer to Zhang Qiang is obvious.

Under the current situation, Zhang Qiang could not openly express his support for Olaf Yar. He was seeking the title of Marquis, and his relationship with King Halaus had become bad. Sergi Khan of Kujit was staring at him, always He wants to take back half of the Kujit land that was occupied by Zhang Qiang that the Kujit kingdom lost.

Zhang Qiang did not dare to relax his vigilance due to the matter of the Principality of Vikia. He was still facing the threat of the Kingdom of Vikia. Everyone knew that Rod Laboye was his father-in-law, and it was impossible for him not to help the Principality of Vikia.

Rod Laboye sent people to question his attitude three times a day. Facing the righteous oppression of the Vikia Kingdom, he couldn't sleep even more.

On this day, Zhang Qiang received an invitation from Mrs. Aisona's messenger to lead troops to Su Nuo City for negotiations.

Tianci came to him and told Lewis about Queen Aisona's true purpose and attitude.

This shocked Zhang Qiang. If such a goal is really achieved, then he can legally get rid of, at least half of, the control of King Halaus of the Kingdom of Swadia.

All families, including Zhang Qiang, will become princes in the true sense, with strong autonomy. The king is just a display. As before, no matter how the earls and lords vote, he has the final say and forces a certain territory to be sealed to others.

If such an agreement is reached, it means that the Kingdom of Swadia has actually split and become an alliance of princes, and a princely state similar to warlords will be established one after another. The leader of the group will be awarded the title of Marquis.

As a powerful military group with such a large territory, Earl Zhang Qiang will become Marquis Zhang Qiang, and this Marquis has greater freedom and rights than the Marquis his father-in-law obtained in Vikia. Much less restraint.

The king became the titular co-lord.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Qiang decided to lead his army to participate in such a meeting. However, Zhou Porridge, who had already gone online and returned to the game world, reminded him that Su Nuo is currently the Harlengoth family represented by Earl Crags. If he goes, he may be under house arrest, and his territory will be taken over, maybe not peacefully, but without his territory, there will be no Earl Aguer, no Viscount Rogerson, and without him The main elite troops, his territory will become very fragile.

This had to make Zhang Qiang back down and think about it. After that, he sent inquiries to various families and members of the big noble group to discuss more meeting places.

Earl Grainward, Olaf Jarr, and even Doruboye also expressed doubts about this. Finally, after half a month of communication, everyone unanimously agreed to set the location in Eberron Village.

Eberron Village has an open terrain and is located in the center of the Norma Highland Plain. Although there are many green forest robbers around there, it is almost the same as anyone's territory, and it is almost the edge of several power groups.

Whether it is fleeing or fighting, there is an open area to maneuver, so that a powerful force will not completely annihilate all the upper-level figures of the lord group.
