In the snow-white conference hall.
Lautner and the other confidants were completely dumbfounded. "No way? My Lord, you've really agreed to the Iron Nation's request to build a military fortress? "
Odom retorted in such a serious situation. "It's not a big deal to reject them now. But when a large number of their troops arrive at the cliff, we'll be in grave danger."
William raised his hand to stop the others from speaking. Instead, he smiled. "Tell me, how long will it take to build a military fortress that can accommodate tens of thousands of people?"
"Er … it depends on the number of people. If it's a small number of people, it'll take more than half a year." As the deputy city lord, Odom had always been in charge of the expansion mission. He naturally understood the difficulty.
A military fortress was different from a city.
All the buildings in a military fortress had to have a certain level of defense. The city walls had to be tall and thick to accommodate the arrow towers. The interior space had to be large enough to accommodate the catapults. Two large warehouses were also needed to store supplies and food. If it was just for people, it would not be so troublesome.
"That's right. Will the Iron Nation use our people to build a military fortress?
Definitely not. There was no doubt about that.
"Even if he can mobilize tens of thousands of people to build this military fortress, it will take at least three to four months. Furthermore, the logistics and supplies will be needed. Not only is the journey long, but there will also be a lot of losses every time they are transported.
"It's not a problem for him to build a military fortress.
"But once he finishes building the foundation and can't bear to leave this place, I'll make the Iron Nation pay protection fees every month.
"Give me gold coins, slaves, and food.
"Otherwise, I'll cut off their food and manpower.
"Do you think they won't give it to us?" When William said this, his eyes revealed greed and viciousness.
Many of his subordinates were slightly shocked. They had not expected William to do this. But Odom hesitated for a while and said worriedly, "In order to build this fortress, they will definitely give you the supplies that you want. But if they take revenge …"
"Then it'll be five to six months later!" William gradually narrowed his eyes. "When that time comes, before they finish building the fortress, we'll destroy them and snatch all the supplies."
"This … are we really going to do this?" Lautner was a little puzzled. He did not understand why his Lord would do this. This was clearly a declaration of war.
William coldly laughed. "Do we really want them to settle down near the City of Dawn? Believe me, when we raid their new homes, we will definitely earn a lot of money. When that time comes, we will definitely cause the Iron Nation to suffer heavy casualties." Don't worry. Moreover, given the situation they faced at that time, they couldn't easily attack us. "
Alec and the others didn't know what to say.
At this moment, he could only listen to his orders.
This was because they did not know that the Iron Nation's Dragon Slaying Plan would definitely be carried out within half a year.
That was when William sent his troops to take down the military fortress. At that time, the interior of the military fortress would definitely be very empty. Even if there were many soldiers standing on the city walls, it was probably just a bluff.
When the military fortress was conquered, the game would be open beta. In addition, the tense situation between the Iron Nation and the Black Lava Nation would be on the verge of war. At that time, how would the Iron Nation dare to attack the City of Dawn?
As for the success rate of attacking the military fortress, it shouldn't be a problem.
That was because the Elven Ranger's ability to spy was not just for show. If a large number of people walked out of the fortress and still couldn't find them, then he wouldn't be able to survive.
Meanwhile.
He still had to follow that group of b * stards and follow them to the snowy mountains of the East Sea to see if he could obtain any benefits.
In any case, this was a crucial battle that would determine his future development.
Winner takes all. What harm was there in taking a gamble?
…
Time flew.
William continued to do missions whenever he had them.
If there were no missions, he would go and farm for affinity points.
He didn't know why, but recently, Sia's 3D vision seemed to have changed again. This made William a little dumbfounded.
In particular, she started to like to research magical tools that had destructive power!
"She's obviously a water and wood dual elemental mage. Logically, she shouldn't like these things. Could it be that she has started to specialize in a new direction? In the future, I'll let her research on magic cannons. It seems like a good idea."
On this day.
William walked around the city and observed the slaves that he had thrown to strangers. Oh, they should be considered commoners.
The 50,000 slaves from the Iron Nation had arrived.
He waved his hand and pardoned all their crimes and slave status. They became commoners again. From now on, they would also become members of the new city. However, the new city was divided into two regions, the Elven region and the Human region.
The new city was still in the midst of construction. Many commoners liked to walk around the city when they were resting.
Of course, other gold coins and resources had also been sent.
Now, the Iron Nation had sent a legion and tens of thousands of slaves to build a military fortress.
Yesterday, he had sent a formal magical transmission to Augustine, asking for this month's' protection fee '. In name, William would send an army to attack the small mermen and Vhouls on the grass plains. In order to protect their allies, they had suffered great losses. Hence, he needed some assistance as compensation.
William also said that if he did not send an army to protect the transport team, then the Iron Nation would suffer great losses …
In summary, you need to give me 10,000 gold coins, 50,000 kilograms of food, and 2000 slaves every month!
After receiving William's transmission, Augustine and Goethe Nasis could not help but scold him.
In particular, Goethe cursed all 18 generations of William's ancestors.
He scolded William for being a despicable, shameless, and greedy person.
But Augustine and Goethe heaved a sigh of relief. To deal with such a greedy person, they had to feed him until he was fat. Then, they would take back all their capital and interest. At the same time, they would also take over the City of Dawn. That would be a huge profit.
It was just like how they secretly dealt with some aristocrats.
They would not suffer any losses if they endured for a while!
Hence.
The Iron Nation obediently sent this month's protection fee to the City of Dawn.
William went to the mysterious fortune-telling shop again. Moses, who was stroking his black cat, saw William walking over.
Their affinity had exceeded 500 points, but they did not talk much. There was a saying that gentlemen's friendship was as spicy as wine. It seemed to be referring to drunkards like them.
It was obvious.
William had found one of Moses' hobbies.
Or rather, he already knew that Moses had this hobby. But because his affinity and level were not high enough, he did not even have the right to drink with Moses.
Now that his affinity had exceeded 500 points, he could finally drink and chat with Moses.
"You got so many slaves at once. Aren't you afraid that there will be trouble in the city?" Moses kindly pointed at him.
William pretended not to care and waved his hand. "Everything is under control."
Moses drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. He did not say anything else.
He wanted to see to what extent William could develop the City of Dawn.
According to the current development speed, the City of Dawn had great potential. But if it took too big of a step, it would be easy to damage one's balls …
Moses stroked his chin. "He's still too young. However, should I save him when the city is destroyed? After all, I have a good impression of this little fellow. He has some potential. It's not impossible for him to help me in the future."
