Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Alz's voice was clear and refreshing, which made people feel calm.

After listening to his opening remarks, Zong Shen was impressed.

The tribune was not a pedantic absolute pacifist.

Peace is a derivative of war.

It is cruel to say that unless it is in a world with unlimited materials, absolute peace is unimaginable.

In the normal main material world, war is the premise of peace.

Only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can there be a precious period of peace.

It sounds cruel, but it is the truth.

Of course, the peace period can be long or short, which depends on comprehensive factors.

Even powerful deterrence is an important part of it.

There are examples of lying down and peace, but they are relatively rare.

No one is willing to gamble on a small probability and leave their fate to others.

Therefore, war and attack have become a prerequisite for the development of people's livelihood.

These words made Zong Shen feel good.

What he was most worried about was meeting the kind of pedantic moral model talents.

In this vast alien world, if you want to rise, you still need a more flexible moral bottom line.

"Welcome to join us."

"The current territory is in need of a suitable tribune to join."

The tribune is an honorary title.

Although there are not many people who have won this honor in the history of the human kingdom, there are still some.

And Alz is an outstanding tribune in terms of reputation and reputation.

He is the son of a serf. When he was a child, the lord to whom his parents belonged was assassinated.

The territory changed hands, and the slaves as part of the property were naturally no exception.

The new lord was cruel and sold the spoils to slave traders after receiving them.

Not long after falling into the hands of slave traders, Alz was separated from his parents.

When passing by a small town church, he was spotted and bought by a Holy Light priest.

He became an intern priest of the Holy Light Church and learned to read and write. He was twelve years old that year.

His life was quite fulfilling, and Alz almost thought that he had ushered in the dawn of his life.

The priest had always coveted him.

Alz, who was sharp-minded and noticed this, felt something was wrong.

But he had to contact the priest on weekdays.

Although he regained his freedom after joining the church.

But in theory, the priest, as the buyer, was indeed his master.

This relationship always made people feel uncomfortable.

This lasted for less than two years, and one day when he was about to turn fourteen.

The priest, who looked very old, suddenly called him to the back mountain in the evening to listen to teachings.

As an apprentice clergyman, Alz could not refuse this reason at all.

The back mountain was cool and quiet at night. There was a big oak tree there, about one-third of the tree trunk was carved into the Lord of Holy Light, which was an additional prayer place.

Because it was located in a remote area, few people came here on weekdays.

When Alz arrived there, the priest had been waiting for a long time.

He finally showed his claws and wanted to do something bad to Alz.

The priest used the holy light spell to control Alz, making him unable to move and unable to resist.

Just when the other party was about to invade, a flash of light suddenly fell from the sky.

This flash of light hit the priest who was approaching step by step.

The powerful light flow instantly vaporized his flesh and blood. When the light disappeared, only a hunched skeleton was left.

The one who saved Alz was a holy light oracle.

Oracles are much rarer and more powerful than those favored by God.

In terms of status, they are second only to the Son and the Daughter of God.

This oracle has been famous for a long time and is called the Glorious Alec.

He has the strength of a demigod and masters the purer power of holy light.

Alec's brief appearance released the restraints on Alz.

"I vaguely see the glory of your future."

"Go, leave here, go to where you should go."

"The guidance of fate tells me that the place you want to go most is where your future destiny lies."

Glorious Alike appeared in the holy light, and disappeared quickly after a brief speech.

His words made Alz thoughtful.

The place he wanted to go most?

It was undoubtedly the small territory where he had lived with his parents.

As a descendant of serfs, life was naturally hard, but being with his family made him regard it as his hometown.

After receiving Alike's inspiration, he immediately chose to set off.

After going through difficulties, he finally returned there, and in the next three years, he met several emerging descendants of nobles. Finally, after a series of coincidences and various operations, several young people occupied there.

It took only a few hundred years to build a huge kingdom city there.

Alike's strategy of civil rule was praised, and he himself also felt the call of the holy light and possessed the strength of the legendary level.

So the Alec in front of him is not only an outstanding internal affairs officer, but also a bishop-level strongman with holy light talent.

Although he later announced that he would give up any religious beliefs, the power of holy light he possessed has not diminished.

Some people say that the glorious Alec is his mentor, but no one dares to say that they know the truth.

When others asked this question, Alz just smiled and kept silent.

Only Zong Shen knew that the news was true.

Because the strategy module is showing Alz's background in the form of subtitles.

"It seems that we have really found a treasure this time."

Alz is good at both offense and defense. As a non-clergyman, he does not have to worry about the problem of believing in God's descent.

At the same time, he can enjoy the convenience brought by the bishop-level holy light power he possesses.

The power of holy light is similar to all elemental powers. As long as you have the relevant talent, you can have the opportunity to master it even if you do not convert to the Holy Light Church.

It's just that those clergy who believe in the Lord of Holy Light have a much easier time in grabbing the power of holy light, and can also obtain a similar blessing state through various sacrificial rituals.

This principle is just like not believing in the water god or the fire god but still being able to practice these two series of spells.

Zong Shen and Alz reached a ceremony of loyalty. This tribune from the early days of the founding of the country thousands of years ago was officially incorporated into the territory system and was limited by loyalty.

Alz bowed his head slightly respectfully. He stood behind Zong Shen like a waiter.

"I can feel the cry of the city."

"It just suffered the trauma of war not long ago."

He said suddenly, and Zong Shen, who sat back in his original position, just nodded slightly.

He immediately picked up the half-opened map roll on the table and handed it to Alz, explaining casually.

"The Great City of Dagalisni is located in the eastern region of the Kingdom of Avalon."

"It belongs to the Cliff family."

"The ancestors of the Cliff family were once the subordinates that King Arthur valued more, and they had outstanding spellcasting talents."

Alz's former home, or the great city he once built, is also within the territory of the Kingdom of Avalon.

Geographically, it is more to the north, even adjacent to the Kingdom of Swadia in the center of the continent.

And it was built in a different era from the Great City of Dagalisni.

The great city is not a spring bamboo shoot after the rain. The construction history of each great city mostly takes thousands or even thousands of years, so Alz's achievement of building a great city in just a few hundred years is worthy of praise.

Today, the great city still uses the name of Alz back then -     ——Boll Free City!

It enjoys permanent trade privileges, and it was signed and recognized by the kings back then.

It is still in effect today.

As long as the core interests of the current royal families are not affected, the agreement enjoyed by the Free City of Bol will not be invalidated.

Today, the rulers of the Free City are the descendants of the family of Alz's partner.

Compared with others, Alz is alone, so he has never married or had children.

Until he encountered an accident and was accepted in exchange for the lord system, he lost his freedom and was temporarily sealed in another dimension, waiting for the lord's call.

As a special recruitment roll, the current Alz is also in his prime, and his ability has not been castrated at all.

He has long put aside the past, and he is not attached to the glory and status of the past.

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Alz reached out and took the map roll from Dagalisni, unfolded it with both hands, and examined it carefully.

There are some information notes left by Zong Shen before.

Including the total number of troops and population in the city, as well as some simple economic indicators.

"It's a bit militaristic."

"This garrison system is not good, it will only increase the burden of development."

Alz pointed out a problem with just one glance.

This made Zong Shen a little confused about how to answer.

Compared with the lords, the proportion of soldiers in the giant city of Dagalisni is very low.

However, the situation of the lords is different and cannot be compared at all.

"Yes, but the times have changed."

"Now is no longer the era of great development that the kingdom initially planned. The era is about to change, and war will become the main theme for a long time in the future."

"As you said, a new civilization is being nurtured. Before that, the nourishment of blood and fire is also indispensable."

The situation is different, and many things cannot be compared.

Facing the arrival of the era change, it is right to be aggressive.

This explanation made Alz nodded thoughtfully.

The era when he grew up was the time when the contemporary human kingdom was at its peak.

And now all the countries on the continent can be regarded as the sunset.

The two era nodes are indeed completely different.

But soon, Alz shook his head again.

"It's a pity that they are not the protagonists of the era."

"Even if they are militaristic, it is difficult to change the final fate."

This statement clearly refers to Zong Shen's conquest.

"Yes, but although conquest is the main theme of the future, we still have to live a stable life in the future."

"My core territory needs you."

"There is already a large population there, everyone has a shelter from the wind and rain, and can eat and wear warm clothes, but there are still many places that need to be improved."

"You will be appointed as the internal affairs adjutant of the core territory."

Zong Shen made a direct decision.

Mariel is still the chief officer, regardless of the difference in their abilities, this is not the point.

The internal affairs adjutant is the second in command, as long as Zong Shen is willing to open up the authority, it will not affect Alz's ability to play.

From the past experience provided by the strategy module, Alz is not the kind of guy who is keen on power.

His pursuit of power is entirely for the better use of the ability of the tribune.

Otherwise, he would not have given the Free City of Bol to his former partner.

With the reputation of Alz's tribune, even the king of the year would have to give him some face.

Asking for one or two huge cities is not an excessive request.

To this day, there are still rumors about Alz's deeds, but they are not as popular as they were in the past.

"I will follow all your arrangements."

Alz has no requirements for positions.

He knows the existence of the lord and what the change of era is.

The Endless Continent is facing a new turning point. It is a good start to follow a powerful lord.

After all, for Alz, the present is his new life.

Calm and polite is Zong Shen's first impression of him.

Alz's eyes are firm, and it is difficult to see emotional fluctuations.

But whether it is the deeds he left behind or the nature of the tribune, it represents that Alz has a relatively lawful and kind heart.

This shows that he can control unnecessary empathy very well.

You must know that protecting the people does not represent the Virgin Mary.

Many times, the Virgin Mary's decision seems to be friendly to the general public, but it will only cause side effects after actual implementation.

Strategy customization cannot do without the overall situation. Too much empathy is not a good thing, and it is easy to lose the big picture.

Because any emotion comes from subtle bits and pieces.

Therefore, Zong Shen can see at a glance that Alz is definitely not the kind of Virgin Mary without measure.

His kindness is wise.

He nodded slightly as a response. Just as Zong Shen was about to take a look at this guy's attributes, Alz suddenly spoke again.

"Sir, how is the current situation of Bol Free City?"

This question made Zong Shen turn his head.

Finally, he saw some emotional fluctuations in Alz's eyes.

The flowing waves proved that he still cared about the city he created.

When talking about this question, Zong Shen narrowed his eyes.

Just now, he had checked the simple information and current situation of Bol Free City.

It is still an important trading city in the northern region of the Kingdom of Avalon.

It is large in scale, and the level of trade is indeed very developed.

However, the development there is definitely not what Alz expected.

Telling the current situation may hit the other party.

But after a little thought, Zong Shen decided to tell the truth.

"Boer Free City has developed very well and has stood for thousands of years."

"It is a famous trading city in Avalon and even in the human kingdom of the entire continent."

"But..."

"Most of the residents there don't live well."

"Trade has created a lot of wealth and has also led to rapid class differentiation."

"Some families have controlled most of the outflow of wealth."

"I guess this should not be in line with your original goal of building the city."

Zong Shen's words were more subtle. He stopped at the point, believing that with just a few words, the other party would know what it meant behind it.

At this point, Alz understood it instantly.

He frowned and moved his lips a few times, as if he wanted to say something.

But after brewing for a while, he finally said nothing.

"No matter how good the policy is, it can't beat the people's heart." Zong Shen said at this time.

The city created by the tribune will also deteriorate.

No one dares to guarantee the future changes, good or bad.
