Part-time BOSS

"So, what are your plans? Do you want to pay?" Murphy finally asked.

"Of course I will never pay!" The invincible sand sculpture looked indignant. "Do you know how much Godwin wants? One million gold coins, which is 10 million coupons. Are you kidding? Even if the five families share it equally It also costs 200,000 gold coins. I have already spent tens of millions to establish the Nanhai Principality, and I haven’t seen the money back yet. You still want me to continue to spend money. No matter how rich my family is, I can’t go through such trouble.”

Although being a king is a prestigious thing, it is obviously also expensive.

Mo Feixin said it was only 10 million. I spent 20 million on training the knights, building the fleet, and building the town... This is still taking advantage of various favorable conditions, spending a lot less money, and replacing three with others. Forty million is probably not enough.

The invincible sand sculpture complained for a while, noticed Mo Fei's disapproving look, and suddenly reacted.

"By the way, brother, you haven't chosen a kingdom to join yet. Why don't you join our Nanhai Principality? Didn't you build a fleet? I'll use your fleet to become a shareholder. I'll give you 30% of the shares. Let's do sea trade together. Earn a lot of money, regardless of the high investment, as long as this fleet starts running, the money will definitely come in a hurry."

Mo Feixin said that this old man probably didn't know about his discovery of the new route. If he knew, he would probably be even more excited.

"Haha, you can't run away with such a good thing? Merchant ships are not expensive anyway."

The invincible sand sculpture shook his head: "It's not that simple. Godwin has instituted a trade blockade. I can't do this business alone."

Murphy said: "So what if Godwin's trade blockade is blocked? You can take other routes and do business with Stormwind Kingdom, Ironforge, Gilneas, and Kul Tiras, and even Kalimdor." Dark Night Alliance.”

Invincible Sand Sculpture (King of the South China Sea): "Don't mention it, you know what happened to the Alterac Navy before letting those two bastards Victor and Sigret sell it out, right? Now I have no control over the sea at all, what kind of business am I doing before? Several merchant ships sent out kept encountering pirates and suffered huge losses.

Haven't you noticed that there aren't many merchants in the city now? They've all been scared away. I suspect that those pirates are secretly supported by Godwin. They send pirates to engage in plunder while blocking trade. Nanhai Town's income depends entirely on commercial taxes. Now that all the businessmen have run away, the continuous agricultural taxes are almost not enough to cover even the maintenance of the army. "

After speaking, the invincible sand sculpture lowered his voice and said, "Actually, Godwin gave me another way, which is to join Lordaeron and become a noble of Lordaeron, but I figured that after all, I am also an Alterac royal family, a noble mountain. How could I, my son, be inferior to others, so I didn’t agree.

But to be honest, if I really can’t bear it in the future, then I will have no choice but to give in. "

What he said was obviously crying out of poverty.

Murphy sighed: "Have you ever thought that several other people should have received similar invitations."

What! The invincible sand sculpture suddenly stared at him, this is really not impossible.

Alterac is a remote mountainous area, but there are some good lands, including one in Nanhai City and another in Darrow City. On the contrary, the Alterac Mountains have little potential, but their geographical position is condescending, which can be regarded as having certain advantages. of strategic value.

Godwin didn't have much else, but he had a lot of money, and the princes in Alterac were notoriously poor, so they could be bribed with just a little money.

The invincible sand sculpture and Murphy looked at each other, and they both saw each other's thoughts - is the historical plot of Lordaeron annexing Alterac going to happen again?

The invincible sand sculpture is still a little unwilling to accept that his principality will be acquired by others as soon as it opens.

Murphy is not very happy about this matter. After all, the Dragon Knights are now the national knights of Alterac. If Alterac is annexed, how will the position of the Dragon Knights be arranged.

"Let's see. I'm about to return to Alterac. Let's discuss it together as brothers. Even if we have to betray our country, we have to sell it together, otherwise the price will definitely be lowered."

Three days later—Alterac Palace.

There are only six seats left in the huge conference room, five kings, and Murphy, the leader of the Dragon Knights.

The other princes either used their territorial troops and took money to leave, or they only had a small territory left and were not eligible to participate in the meeting at all.

The royal family meeting that used to be lively and lively now seems somewhat deserted.

Murphy looked at his frowning brothers and felt nostalgic for the time when King Aiden was still alive.

There were more than thirty brothers at that time, and it was so lively.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "So what do you think about this?"

Victor (King of Crows): "Godwin offered me eight million to acquire my Kingdom of Crows and asked me to swear allegiance to him."

It’s only eight million, which is a bit cheap.

Darkseid (King of Disi): "I was given twelve million to request that Darrow County and surrounding territories be merged into the Kingdom of Lordaeron. I will still serve as the lord of Darrow City, but I will be loyal to Lordaeron. "

Kissing French Fries (King of Solstice): "Ten million, package acquisition, including my status as lord."

Zhu Genbao (King of Alterac): "Twenty million, Alterac will cancel its country title, merge into Lordaeron as a whole, and the army will be controlled by Lordaeron. Give me the title of High Lord of Alterac. If If you are willing to take full advantage, you can increase it to 30 million."

It can be seen that Godwin's acquisition prices and acquisition methods in various countries are completely different.

Some overall acquisitions, such as Nanhai Town and Port City, can make a lot of money once acquired. Of course, they must be acquired as a whole.

Some were acquired at a low price, like the Principality of Raven, whose territory was completely barren and produced nothing. It didn’t even have a profitable industry or resources, and there were still rebellions.

After the annexation, apart from the beautiful map, there is really no economic benefit. The rebels were also caused by the players themselves, because they forcibly seized the territory of the mountain nobles. The previous lord, Count Adalion, now raised the flag of rebellion and became a rebel. Because Earl Adalyan's reputation was so high that the Crow Kingdom's rebels almost caught up with the royal army's strength, and they were barely suppressed by issuing missions to adventurers.

The same goes for the Winter Kingdom. Kissing French Fries also robbed the territory of the high mountain nobles. Speaking of which, the nobles of Alterac were quite unlucky. The plain nobles were treated as rebels and punished, and the high mountain nobles were also hacked. , it can only be said that there is no bottom line if a player really wants to be a human being.

Now the Five Kingdoms have been divided, which has caused dissatisfaction in Alterac, and the reputation of the Perenold family has plummeted.

Godwin also saw this clearly, and he didn't mind spending too much money. He just invited me to join with three melons and two dates. After all, you are considered a noble under my command. You just have to listen to me in the future.

For the Kingdom of Alterac, because of the Kingdom's orthodoxy, it would of course still cost a lot of money.

The game of Sky World has a Western background, so the design of kings, lords, allegiance, right to rule, and right to claim is very important. As long as there is a sense of justice, many things can be easily accomplished. For example, the king can deprive the lord of his territory, as long as he does not Face, you can totally eat it.

Of course, the consequences will definitely be serious, and the consequences will come if they don’t.

The most important thing now is to seize the root treasure. After all, Alterac is the orthodox king recognized by all countries in the alliance. If Alterac kneels down, the remaining small principalities will really be leftovers. Godwin will do it by then Even if it was forcibly annexed, no one would question it.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Are you going to betray your country and seize the root treasure?"

Zhu Genbao (King of Alterac): "What a bullshit. My family is engaged in mining. I want to kneel down for 30 million. Are you kidding me? Isn't Godwin rich? I am legitimate in Alterac." , it must be 100 million anyway."

Mo Feixin said that it would be fine if he didn't sell it. As long as he didn't give up on grabbing the root treasure, he would still have something to play with.

Kissing French Fries suggested: "How about we just form an Alterac Alliance? We have five countries, and our momentum is no worse than the Lordaeron Alliance."

Darkseid said: "We alone can't do it. The population is too small - how about calling the dwarves too?"

"Stormwind City relies on Lordaeron to recover, so it must support Lordaeron. The dwarves have a good relationship with Stormwind City, and they have a good relationship with Lordaeron..."

"The dwarves support Arthas. Now that Arthas is missing, Ironforge's attitude is the same."

Murphy said: "Actually, the key is to find the common demands of all countries. Since everyone shares the same hatred, it is naturally easy to form an alliance. The establishment of the orc shelter is an opportunity. Historically, it was because of this that the old alliance disintegrated.

Therefore, we must stand firm and refuse to establish an orc shelter. In this way, Kul Tiras and Quel'Thalas will definitely support us. Gilneas has no money, but it should be able to support us. "

Darkseid shook his head, "It's useless. Gilneas is Godwin's staunch supporter. Now the king of Gilneas is that boy Brainy. Godwin will definitely support Godwin as he has the leverage to deceive his father."

Victor said: "That's not necessarily the case. At this moment, this guy became the king just to make money. How could he be willing to take out one million gold coins? Anyway, the matter is over, and there is no direct evidence of this matter."

The invincible sand sculpture: "The key is that we in Alterac have no say. The last time we had a meeting, all of us could only sit in."

Murphy looked at Zhu Genbao and said, "You don't have a say either?"

Zhuo Genbao spread his hands helplessly: "I did have something to say, but those people didn't listen."

Murphy sighed, "Okay, I'll go with you to the next meeting. I think my words should still have some effect, but I have to have a name first - our parliament hasn't been dissolved yet, right?"

It is true that it has not been disbanded. The main reason is that everyone is busy running their own turf. There is no harm in having the title of councilor anyway, so it remains.

"In this case, let's just form an Alterac Federation. You can make me a Lord Protector. Then I will talk to the alliance. Since everyone is not planning to betray the country, then I will try to win some allies and veto Godwin's proposal. If the orc shelter plan really doesn't work, then we can simply withdraw from the alliance, or we can form a new alliance ourselves.

The next meeting will be in five days. Take advantage of this time to quickly change the country's structure. From now on, it will be called the Alterac Federation, and your country will become a franchising city-state. "

"What about you? What do you want to do?"

"Of course I have my own business to deal with."

What to deal with - of course it is a PY transaction. Although formal negotiations are decided at the conference table, private transactions are the key, otherwise if there is not such a tacit understanding, the game will be over.

After returning to Longshang Castle, Murphy directly started writing letters to his old friends.

The first letter was sent to Prince Muradin Bronzebeard of Ironforge. In addition to reminiscing about old times, it was just one sentence - "Your prince is with me. Do you want me to send it to you?" 】

Through checking the information during this period, he has figured out who the dwarf prince Anvilmar is. He is most likely a descendant of Modimus Anvilmar, the King of the Mountains.

At that time, the three major dwarf clans lived together in Ironforge. Modimus Anvilmar was the king of the dwarves. His death led to the split among the three major clans of Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, and Dark Iron, as well as the famous war in history. "The Battle of the Three Hammers."

Later, the Bronzebeard dwarves occupied Ironforge, the Wildhammer dwarves went to Grim Batol, and the Dark Iron dwarves went to Blackstone Mountain to build a city.

In other words, the dwarf prince in his hands has the right to claim Ironforge. Even though it has been thousands of years, in the world of the sky, the authority of blood is still very important.

If Mo Fei really sends the dwarf prince back, do you, the Bronzebeard family, want to swear allegiance?

To be disloyal is to violate the oath of ancient ancestors and to lose honor.

If you are loyal, then you can't give away such a big business of the Bronzebeard family to others.

So this dwarf prince is a big trouble. If it were a sinister master, such as an old scumbag like King Tenaris, he might just hire an assassin to solve it.

But with Mo Fei's understanding of the three Bronzebeard brothers, he would never do such a thing. The best way is to find a way for Mo Fei to stabilize the dwarf prince and never send him back.

In this way, Ironforge's proposal to support Alterac is very feasible.

The second letter was to Lothar, the regent of the Kingdom of Stormwind. It first told some things about Prince Varian, and then said that I have traveled such a long way for you. Do you have to support me? The orcs are here. The kings of our two families have been killed. Why can't we feed them with good food and drink?

Mo Fei was quite confident about these two letters. He knew them with emotion, moved them with reason, and lured them with benefits. He was not afraid that they would not submit.

The third letter is to King Blainey of Gilneas. This old boy sold his father to the orcs, but by standing in line well, nothing happened, and he finally became the king - but it is said that his Several younger brothers and sisters are rebelling, and someone has even brought out the werewolf plague in advance, so they probably won't be able to come up with the money.

In addition, the previous king was also killed by orcs, so you have to be filled with righteous indignation, right?

The fourth letter is to the Elf King. The content of this letter is more obscure - I know you are against it, and we don't like Lordaeron. Why don't we all attack him together and mess with him? In short, we can't pay for it.

The fifth letter is to Prince Trollbane of Stromgarde. I know that you, Stromgarde, have no money, and we in Alterac have no money. When the time comes, we might as well refuse to pay.

Anyway, if it is useful or not, connect them first, at least give the other party a chance to choose.

As for whether it can succeed, it depends on the performance on the spot.

After writing the letter, Mo Fei had more important things to do - to complete the second stage of the Dragon Feast Ceremony.
