Chapter 108: A new plan
This was undoubtedly shocking bad news for the local residents and nobles of the capital, but then they found in the king's announcement that there was a half-plane in the city of Tel with an area of about half an empire. As long as they paid some taxes, they could allow them to enter the development, but they were surprised again.
Such a vast semi-plane represents abundant land. What's more, the annotation of the announcement also shows that this semi-plane is rich in resources and has a similar climate as the empire. It is undoubtedly good news for the people in the lower levels to grow crops.
As for some small nobles above the middle class, the semi-plane means a large amount of land, and land means a larger territory. Although it is in the semi-plane, it is quite safe in the capital. If several minerals can be found around the territory, it means a continuous stream of gold coins.
The king then issued a series of announcements, including the name of Prince Telris, which included the word "Protection" in front of Prince Telris, to reward him for discovering the semi-plane and actively handing over to the imperial capital to develop it, and at the same time, he also granted some titles of his followers to encourage him.
The only thing that made these residents a little depressed was that their current king made such a major decision, which took effect on the same day and stipulated that residents who were willing to follow to the city of Tel, and who are now in the capital, must complete the relocation work within one month.
Fortunately, the announcement was very clear. In addition to giving considerable gold coins to residents in the past, they also included the price difference between living buildings, operating shops, etc., and after that, they would also have a series of preferential policies for semi-plane transmission and development, which made these people not say anything.
Although some people have seen something wrong with the situation, for the overall situation that is true and the general public opinion, these are like a wave in the sea no one cares about it.
This was a major transfer involving tens of millions of people. Fortunately, with a large convoy organized by the King, Prince Telres, and some city lords, the residents of the capital were also continuously entering Tel.
What they did not expect was that although this city of Tel was smaller than their capital, the king had already made a promise to increase the city scope next. On the contrary, it was quite good in terms of climate and environment, and even more comfortable than in the capital, especially those buildings with elf style, combined with the last renovated gorgeous human buildings, which gave these residents a lot of surprises.
However, just as these residents were still adapting to their current life in the capital, Prince Telris had already arrived at the current city of Tel, which was the residents and soldiers of the capital before, were already familiar with and mastering the functions of this new city.
As for Li Ran, he was standing on the top of the highest mage tower in the city. Apart from a few teammates and a group of tribal leaders, the only masters here, Kunasoyd and Master Relhi, were all standing on his right.
"I remember that a few years ago, Liexi and I were still excited to build a mage tower without grades and couldn't sleep all night. I didn't expect that a few years later, I actually owned a level 4 mage tower. I think it's really incredible." After a long time, the mage tower master couldn't help but sigh and said.
Everyone present smiled at this time. This Kunasoyed thought so. Why are they the same? Especially the leaders who followed Li Ran first, nodded heavily at this time.
As for Master Relhi, he smiled and said to Kunasoyed, "So I said you are a sharp-eyed person? To be honest, you suddenly decided to send so many people and golems to support the city lord, but I was a little reluctant. After all, these guys were still eyeing us at the side and trying to destroy us. Fortunately, I have always listened to you, otherwise I would regret it now."
Seeing Master Relhi pointing at the three prophets of the Zeriramo clan, everyone who knew something about this, including these three prophets and the two captains behind him, couldn't help but laugh. Seeing the city lord turn around and solemnly expressing his gratitude to the leaders present, everyone even said they didn't dare.
After chatting for a while, everyone couldn't help but talk about the current city again. When talking about this topic, everyone couldn't help but talk about the almost sky-high compensation. Finally, the facts proved that despite having a hobby of bargaining, Wu Tongtong and others were obviously not the opponents of these professional secret envoys, and the amount they paid far exceeded their imagination.
However, Li Ran waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although he spent a lot of gold coins to make up for the losses in the capital in order to exchange the city, almost exhausted all our savings from the previous wars, and even owed a lot of gold coins that we respected the king for this, but looking around us, I think it's all worth it."
Hearing that Li Ran said this, Zhou Xun and other teammates and the leaders couldn't help but smile. However, the leader of the Taurus Saguier said with some dissatisfaction: "These guys are really shameless. If it weren't for us, could they defend this city? And they also gave them a completely developed semi-plane for free. They were so embarrassed to ask us for so much money. I think there is no need to give them the ones they owe, otherwise he would think we would be easy to bully."
Hearing the words of the Tauren leader, everyone present nodded in agreement, but at this time Li Ran smiled and said, "The promise made is the debt owed, not to mention that we have signed an agreement. No matter how greedy they are, even if we have agreed, the money will be paid sooner or later."
After saying this, Li Ran suddenly pointed to the sea level vaguely visible to the east, looked at Saguier and said with a smile: "We have heroic warriors, there is a vast sea, with endless gold coins inside. As for the Roaring Island in the territorial sea, it is rich in resources. Do you think we still need to go to the king's little money?"
Hearing Li Ran say this, everyone looked in the direction of his finger and couldn't help but nodded heavily. Some leaders with good relationship with Saquiel took this opportunity to deliberately come forward and laugh at him a few words, which made the guy feel depressed.
At this moment, Li Ran solemnly looked at everyone and said, "Of course, I believe you all know that although there are abundant supplies, there are also opponents that are countless times stronger than Grinnada and Cruyard. But when I exchange this city, I want to see how powerful these guys who dare to make us pay tribute every year through the ocean are!"
As the city lord's tone became heavier, these tribal leaders who had been through many battles couldn't help but clench their fists and became a little excited. Even the somewhat warlike barbarian leaders even breathed a lot more unconsciously.
Although some of them had a natural fear of the unknown seas, they were full of confidence in ground wars. After experiencing the last battle with the divine clone, they unconsciously had an attitude of no other than me, and the same was true for the legion they led. Even though the lord said that their opponent was a god, they were determined to fight.
However, whether it is entering the ocean or competing with the empire on the other side, this is a matter for the future. The reason why Li Ran proposed it now is to make these leaders psychologically prepared. As for the next time, after a while of chatting, they naturally turned the topic to the coalition forces of the Grinnada Empire.
"According to news from the capital, this coalition of about 200,000 people has been in the erosion land for a week. If it is normal marching speed, they will appear in the empire's land in about five days," Zhou Xun said at this time.
Li Ran thought about this and asked, "How are we now gathering with the legion of the capital?"
At this time, Zhou Xun took out a record book from the storage ring and said, "From the situation yesterday, in addition to the original 100,000 legions, the empire sent 80,000 people from the current capital one after another, mainly with top-level and above troops. Among them is a top-level human swordsman legion with 50,000 people, a super-level heavy-armed human warrior legion with 20,000 people. As for the remaining 10,000 people, in addition to five thousand top-level crossbow shooters and some medical and legal responsibilities, there was also a two thousand temple warrior army and a three hundred archangel legion."
"What? After a long time, two thousand three hundred people came." I thought Zhou Xun would also tell some details of the higher-level troops, but when he saw that he had put away the record book the next moment, a leader couldn't help but say dissatisfied.
However, Li Ran obviously didn't care much about this, and just smiled and said, "It is not easy for our king to send two thousand temple warriors and three hundred angels. We just need to think that this is a war against the invaders alone. If we can't even fight a coalition with the highest marquis, how can we compete with the super empire on the other side in the future?"
When everyone present heard the city lord say this, they couldn't help but smile and showed a confident expression. For those who have been through war, they thought that this time the opponent was just a legion of 200,000 people. Even if it was as the situation said, most of them were troops above the level, and they were not afraid of it.
At this time, all the leaders present firmly believed that for this legion, even if they abandon their defensive advantages, they would be confident that they would defeat one of them, not to mention that they still have a defensive advantage now. If they lose like this, they should not come out and mess up. (To be continued.)
