Lord of War

Sean sat quietly in the conference room.

This is a conference room on the third floor, and it is also the place where he spends most of his time with William and Neil. Basically, as long as he is in the Void City, he will stay in this conference room most of the time. Although he is supposed to deal with some documents, in fact he is basically just a decoration here, unless it is necessary to Changes in territorial affairs, otherwise, no documents would need to go through his hands.

William and Neil are enough to handle the huge affairs of the entire territory.

In fact, it was also because Sean was not considered a qualified lord, and William and Neil were too outstanding. Like other territories, even if the lord does not have to do everything personally, there will never be only one internal affairs officer under his command who specializes in handling government affairs, and there may even be several staff members who help with government affairs.

But under Xiao En's command, there are only two people who handle government affairs: Neil and Rude.

However, compared to Neil, Rude's work is undoubtedly much easier, because the Dai Territory he is in charge of is an already formed territory and does not require him to invest too much energy, especially when he becomes Neil's subordinate. After that, the workload that Rude had to deal with was reduced by more than half at once, which naturally gave him more free time. However, Rude did not waste this time. He used this free time on other research topics. It is said that one research topic has aroused Neil's high interest.

You must know that Neil has lived for hundreds of years, and he has also disguised his identity to work under the command of many nobles. No matter from which aspect, he has a strong advantage that other political officials do not have. It is also these advantages that allow him to accomplish things that almost require a government team to complete by himself, so it is not an easy task to arouse his strong interest under such circumstances.

Sean is flipping through the files at the moment. It was the information that even Neal was interested in.

For information like this, of course Sean still needs to make a final decision. However, another advantage of Neil is that when Rude started to study this topic that is conducive to the growth of the economic benefits of the territory, he had already seen the many troubles that this topic needs to face, so this information has been Made an extremely detailed judgment and analysis, and even split the entire subject research into three stages, and had a rough estimate of the funds and returns required for each stage.

If it is really possible to overcome the troubles written in this document, then once this plan is successfully implemented, the economic income of the territory is likely to be increased by three times, and with the larger area of ​​the territory. The more abundant the resource, the greater the profit. But for such a huge plan, the investment in the first phase alone requires at least two million large funds, and the investment in the second and third phases is double that of the previous phase.

In other words, I want to triple the income of the entire territory. At least tens of millions of funds are needed.

You know, Asuna conquered the entire southern part of the Darbion Kingdom back then. The final harvest of that battle was tens of millions.

This is a huge investment project.

certainly. For a big project like this, the investment in each stage will also have a corresponding return. It depends on whether Sean has enough courage to make this decision. Because once this project is started, it means that Sean has decided to invest all the proceeds from the future war with the Kingdom of Dabion into it, which also means that he will not be able to carry out any military expansion or Other aspects of government investment.

"Private supervision of special products. Oh, thanks to Rude for thinking of it." Xiao En smiled, and closed the document casually, but his eyes narrowed slightly. "Since you're already outside the door, why don't you come in?"

The sound was not loud, but at night, it was loud enough to be considered loud.

However, no one responded to Sean's words, whether it was inside or outside the room, it still seemed very silent.

Seeing the situation like this, Sean sighed slightly, and then put his right hand into a bag at his waist.

This bag is rectangular, very flat, with a depth of only about two centimeters, just enough to fit a hand. However, seeing the complicated decorative textures on the bag and the black leather that has been specially tanned, it is obvious that this bag was specially ordered by Xiao En.

When Sean's hand stretched out from the bag, a golden brilliance was already slightly glowing in the palm, and Gulu, who was a little drowsy, had already been taken out by Sean.

This bag is actually Gulu's residence!

With a vigorous shake of his hand, Gulu, who was still snoring soundly, was thrown out by Sean.

"Gulu!"

A sudden, shrill scream sounded particularly penetrating in this silent night.

I saw a golden streamer drawing a golden straight line in the air at an astonishing speed, and then heard a muffled "bang". Gulu had already penetrated the wall of the meeting room, and I don't know which wall it was embedded in. . But this time, there was no movement in the entire Lord's Mansion. It was not like in Black Swan Castle, where every hit on the wall would trigger a small-scale earthquake.

And when Gulu passed through the wall for two or three seconds, there was finally another soft sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Judging from the sound, it was obviously the sound of a person falling to the ground.

Almost at the same moment, the door of the meeting room was knocked open, and three figures rushed in at such a speed that even Xiao En was slightly surprised. And as soon as they entered the room, the three figures dispersed towards the surroundings of the meeting room at the same time. This kind of extremely tacit cooperation was obviously not the first time they had done this.

This meeting room is not very big, but it is not a problem even if there are ten people sitting at the same time, but the layout of the meeting room has always been a relatively serious and open environment, so naturally there will not be too many decorations, so there will be There are too many obstacles that can be used. If you want to hide in the conference room, everyone knows that this is by no means an easy task. At least as long as you are not blind, you will be able to find the hiding place with just a scan.

But at this moment, in front of Xiao En's eyes, there was a scene that was enough to shock anyone.

After the three attacking killers broke through the door and rushed into the conference room, they immediately dispersed towards the surroundings, because the directions of the three dispersed and the explosive power of the sudden acceleration were different, and the speed was also very good. So even Sean couldn't lock the three of them in the first place, so he followed the trail of one of them completely subconsciously, and it was just at this moment that the other two killers who entered the meeting room Just like that, it completely disappeared under Sean's nose.

When Sean was a little surprised and swept towards the direction where the other two rushed in, the third person who could still find the trace suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

Sean frowned.

Shadow Assassin!

This is a sixth-level occupation, which is the so-called upper silver in this world. Although it is not particularly good in terms of damage, and it does not have the ability to break defense or powerful damage like other assassin system occupations, but this occupation is the most troublesome occupation among all assassin system occupations. Because their professional talent is that they can perfectly integrate with the environment. In this way, they can not only shield their own breath, but also perform special methods to transform living beings.

Basically, any place that is shrouded in shadow is their home field for this profession.

Undoubtedly, the reason why Sean lost their tracks was entirely because they blocked their own aura from emitting, and then blended into the surrounding shadow environment.

Although the meeting room doesn't have much space to hide people, for shadowless assassins who can hide their bodies as long as they have shadows, there are too many places for them to hide in this meeting room. It wasn't particularly difficult for Sean either.

if……

Almost as soon as Sean thought of a trouble, a shadow assassin suddenly launched an attack from the left.

His attack had no warning, and was so abrupt that it made people feel a little uncomfortable. Even Xiao En, who had experienced many battles, failed to react in the first time, so that he missed the weakest attack opportunity of the Shadow Assassin. This is their profession. The biggest weakness: Shadow Assassin is no better than other assassination classes, their own defense is very weak, and their lethality is not high, so at the moment of violent attack, it is actually equivalent to a completely undefended state. In this state, if Can parry their attacks, then they will enter a "hard time." A bit similar to the situation of wrestling failure.

Out of habitual conditioned reflex, Sean immediately returned to defense with his sword when the shadow assassin suddenly attacked. But what he didn't expect was that the shadow assassin's target was not him, but the oil lamp placed in front of his desk. This was also a key point that Sean had considered before.

The dagger in this shadow assassin's hand smashed the cover of the oil lamp mercilessly, and the tip of the sword easily cut off the little wick on the oil lamp, which looked like a flame rising from the dagger.

Afterwards, as the shadow assassin withdrew his hands and retreated, with a flick of the dagger, the flame was completely extinguished.

The darkness, like a ferocious beast that had been dormant for a long time, finally showed its ferocious fangs at the moment when the only light in the room disappeared, and jumped out suddenly, completely devouring the entire room.

A slightly cold chill suddenly approached.

But it didn't come from the front, but from behind Xiao En.

The second shadow assassin suddenly launched an attack!
