With 130 points of goodwill as a foundation, as long as William didn't do anything annoying, King Vikru's goodwill towards him wouldn't drop.
Both of them had a pleasant conversation. They talked about the management of the territory, the Darkness invasion, and the Light Faction.
With his rich experience from his previous life, William revealed a lot of vague information. He also talked about the direction of the future, which made Vikru's eyes light up.
Vikru even asked William how the Red Fire Kingdom should develop in the future.
William's words gave Vikru a sense of approval.
But he had to say it.
What William said was the direction of development of the Fire Kingdom in his previous life!
This was also the key reason why William's opinion coincided with Vikru's.
Now, His Majesty the King had started to take William seriously!
Even though William's power was not a big deal to Vikru.
But he had potential!
Not only did William have the foresight and strategy that a Lord should have, but he also had a group of powerful subordinates with great potential.
But Vikru still asked, "The development of the City of Dawn is very interesting. Your territory is safe and secure. In order to continue developing, you have introduced a comprehensive employment model.
"Do you know that this model has attracted a lot of attention from the neutral Lords and some mercenary teams?
"Now, the Mercenary Guild is very busy. Many people want the Mercenary Guild to be their guarantor to show that they are willing to accept such employment.
"In this way, your advantage will decrease. You will be limited by resources, and the development of your faction will stagnate."
William looked at Vikru in surprise. What was Vikru trying to do?
Was he thinking about William?
Or was he trying to see if William was qualified to be Vikru's partner?
William pondered for a while and said in a deep voice, "I know about this. But not every mercenary team has sufficient military training.
"We can outsource all the tasks related to war, defense, protection, transportation, and garrisons.
"The key isn't our strength. It's that I have enough control over my subordinates. I won't let them cause any losses to the employer.
"If it were other mercenary teams, and they had bad records, why would the Mercenary Guild be their guarantor?
"Even if they were to be their guarantor, I was the one who suggested this model. Others are still trying to learn and imitate it.
"I can only say.
"The City of Dawn will only be imitated, but it will never be surpassed."
William paused and continued, "The most important point is that mercenaries are a bunch of fellows who value money more than their lives.
It's fine if you want them to start a war. After all, they're all on the battlefield. Even if they cause trouble, they'll still be attacking the enemy.
However, if you asked them to do something else, most of the mercenaries might rob their employers and live a happy life in anonymity. Nobody would be able to catch them.
But the City of Dawn is different. We have our own territory, and we can't escape!
Also, if my soldiers really did something wrong, I would have enough money to compensate them.
Lan Yu Grand Duchy had accepted the City of Dawn's first big mission. As long as the mission was completed and the dark creatures were defeated, I believed that the reputation of the City of Dawn would increase exponentially. The City of Dawn would also receive many missions.
However, it is difficult for other mercenary groups to enjoy the same treatment. "
After listening to William's explanation, Vikru understood!
The City of Dawn was a neutral force. It had a territory and a group of immortal chosen ones to carry out war missions.
On the other hand, the well-trained legionnaires accepted other missions.
As long as they made proper arrangements and did not provoke powerful forces, the City of Dawn, which had the support of the two Elves, would have a bright future.
In just a few seconds, Vikru made up his mind.
Vikru made up his mind. He wanted to provide timely help, not icing on the cake!
What did the City of Dawn lack?
Credibility!
Just the protection from the Mercenary Guild was not enough. A large-scale mission from Lan Yu Grand Duchy was not enough to prove anything.
The City of Dawn had to complete many missions and have a high credibility and exposure. Only then would the other forces understand that the City of Dawn was a neutral faction that could be trusted. Then, they would hand over some missions that they could not spare.
What Vikru had to do was very simple.
He immediately issued ten missions to William!
Most of the missions were not too difficult and were within the capabilities of the City of Dawn.
The missions included escorting, transporting, guarding the defense line, developing new territories (undeveloped forests, grasslands, etc.), collecting information, and so on!
When William saw the ten Level-A missions, he was ecstatic.
It was as if someone had handed him a pillow when he was about to doze off.
The missions in front of him could only be completed by Intermediate professionals. The difficulty was not high, the risk was not high, and the rewards were not too high. The only shortcoming was that many people were required to complete the missions. This meant that the exposure was high.
This was an advantage.
Since the City of Dawn was not at war, it did not lack manpower.
Even though most of the players were carrying out the two Level-S missions, there were still many players who were idle.
It was not just the players.
William could also send out regular legions.
Currently, the City of Dawn had 100,000 regular soldiers. Every day, they spent a lot of money on food and water.
Rather than taking care of them, it was better to put them into missions. Not only could they earn a sum of money, but they could also reduce their wastage.
The most important thing was that these were employment missions from the Red Fire Kingdom.
This represented the trust of the Red Fire Kingdom.
The trust of the Red Fire Kingdom was like an advertisement.
As long as the City of Dawn could complete these missions perfectly, would the other grand duchies ignore the City of Dawn?
Absolutely not!
William looked gratefully at Vikru and said in a deep voice, "The City of Dawn can accept all these missions. But to avoid wasting time, I'm not sure if we can open a teleportation portal. We can also conduct some business transactions."
"Of course, this is not a problem. The more trade routes there are, the better. Are there any space mages in the City of Dawn? "
William smiled and said, "We have a space enchanter. We don't have to trouble the King."
When Vikru heard about the space enchanter, he was stunned. He felt a little jealous. But this made him even more determined to invest in the City of Dawn.
The benefits were mutual.
William had obtained many benefits from Vikru.
He had to help solve some problems!
The missions given by Vikru were not troublesome in his eyes. He could send out legions to solve them. It was just to give the City of Dawn a chance.
Hence, a crucial mission had arrived!
[Prompt: You have received a mission message]
[Prompt: The kingdom's faction]
[Mission Level: S +]
[Mission Information: The Red Fire Kingdom and the Desert Kingdom have been at war for decades. Unless one of them is destroyed, the war will not end.]
[Prompt: Choose your future faction, the Red Fire Kingdom or the Desert Kingdom!]
Without a doubt.
William could not reject this mission.
If he rejected it, not only would Vikru's affinity with him drop to the lowest point, but the mission would also be canceled.
There was no need for him to reject it.
In his previous life, the Red Fire Kingdom had won.
He decisively accepted this main storyline mission that would take place many years later.
Subsequently,
Both of them looked at each other and smiled.
It was obvious that they were trying to be friends!
William glanced at his endowment 'Good Looks'. He could not help but shout in his heart, "I … am the king of being friends!"
