The closed Songjiang City made it impossible for Da Liang to know what Abigail had done, and the players in the dungeon could not enter the circle of the black elves, so there was no way to get more information.

Da Liang had no choice but to put the runaway Songjiang City aside for the time being, and concentrate on promoting the alliance between Shangjiang and the Three Dragons.

Joyce is now the crown prince of Shangjiang City, and will soon hold an enthronement ceremony to officially become the owner of the city. Therefore, Joyce was qualified to represent the Shangjiang city-state and discuss the alliance with the three 15th-order dragon clans.

Princess Ziling is the envoy of this dragon envoy, and the purple dragon clan is the main force of this dragon alliance, and her opinion will determine whether Shangjiang can get together with them.

Da Liang is a quasi-ally of the Three Dragons and a trusted minister of Crown Prince Joyce. During this investigation, he accompanied the Dragon Clan delegation throughout the Shangjiang region.

Visit the Pudong Commercial Port and see the merchant ships paved with their faces. Then followed the loading and unloading of goods, and saw the Jiading City Market, and admired the Marquis Stanley's jewel castle and the cargo ship shuttling in the Yangtze River.

Da Liang took them to see the workshop in Jiangcheng and watched the production of war equipment and artillery; Battleships built in the Pudong fleet and shipyards.

Then there is the Elven Plantation, the academic alchemy factory......

The entire city-state used various ways to show the dragon envoys the prosperity of Shangjiang, as well as its strong economic and military power.

In the end, the Dragon Mission, Da Liang, and Joyce gathered at the Shangjiang Palace for final negotiations.

Princess Ziling, dressed in blue and white magic robes, is elegant and noble, and at the same time has a natural sense of superiority in front of the lower races of the main world.

The representatives of all parties sat around a round table, and Princess Ziling said first: "Thank you Earl Da Liang for accompanying us to visit the Shangjiang city-state these days.

As you described, Shangjiang City is one of the most prosperous and powerful cities in the Overworld, and the noisy street market is impossible to see in the Magic Forest. We have also seen the wealth and military power that Shangjiang City has, and what you have can indeed make up for our shortcomings in many aspects and enhance the strength of the alliance.

Here I would like to confirm how much money and troops you can provide us with if we agree to Shangjiang City to join the alliance. ”

Joyce felt Ziling's contempt for Shangjiang City. She believes that in the alliance, Shangjiang City is the protected party, and as the dominant party of the alliance, Zilong should collect protection fees from Shangjiang City.

This status is certainly not something Joyce is willing to get.

But without waiting for Joyce to speak, Da Liang said on the side: "Princess Zilong, this is an inspection of allies, not an inspection of vassals. If you only look at the size of the land, the actual control area of Shangjiang is larger than the magic forest, crystal veins and sulfur caves combined.

Resources and funds are not comparable to the sum of the assets of the three dragon clans.

Another thing that is really valuable is the human resources that Shangjiang has. Presumably, everyone has seen that all the cities in Shangjiang are overhauling roads, and we can summon a road construction army composed of hundreds of thousands of laborers in a very short time, and we will have the ability to build the defense system of the Magic Forest and the Crystal Vein in the shortest possible time.

Shangjiang is inferior to the Three Dragons in terms of individual combat effectiveness, but it is really too much more than it is in other aspects.

We need dragons to protect our city, and you need us to protect your home.

This is a mutually beneficial thing, so I hope that in this negotiation, Princess Ziling can see Shangjiang as an equal force with the Zilong Clan, which is also the basis for our full cooperation in the future. ”

Da Liang has the grace of saving the life of Princess Ziling, the grace of saving the crystal dragon, and the master of the twin brother of the patriarch of the poisonous dragon. Therefore, his words are really weighty in the Three Dragons Alliance, not to mention that what others say is still reasonable.

The three dragons really have nothing but powerful individual force. The territory is small, although there are resources, but there is not enough labor to exploit them, and the economy is basically zero.

It's really about money, no money, no people, and resources are buried in the ground.

has an empty body, and he can't eat it.

Moreover, Shangjiang is not weak, at least one of the supreme angels lives in the palace. Other Overworld cities may be richer and more powerful than Shangjiang City, but without the protection of Tier 16 heroes, at the beginning of the war, those riches would have belonged to others.

Therefore, just one Divine Bella was enough to arouse the attention of the three dragon clans to Shangjiang, and in addition to the advantages that Shangjiang City had.

There is basically no suspense in forming an alliance.

Since everyone will be in the same camp in the future, the relationship must not be too stiff.

After Da Liang played a round, Princess Ziling also realized that her posture was a little too high, and her superiority that could not bring any benefits had to give way to survival. Instead, she said, "I'm really sorry, Your Highness Joyce, but I'm a little too self-centered. The Purple Dragon, the Crystal Dragon, and the Poison Dragon all intend to invite Shangjiang to join our alliance, but because the Magic Forest and the Crystal Vein are under such great pressure, we desperately hope that Shangjiang City can give priority to helping us build a defense system.

I know that this will require a lot of money and materials, but we can't get these things, so I wonder if Shangjiang City can support our construction first. We can also give us what we can in return at Shangjiang's request. ”

This is the atmosphere in which the alliance negotiations should be.

Joyce had already learned from Da Liang what the three dragons urgently needed, and had made ample preparations for this meeting. She took out a construction plan and handed it to Princess Ziling, and then said, "Shangjiang City is ready to take out 100 million gold coins as the first construction fund for the Magic Forest and Crystal Vein. It is mainly used to build basic resource collection points, first of all, to be self-sufficient in wood and stone, and to build a level 14 main defense fortress each.

Including castles, parapets, towers, turrets, magic towers and a series of defensive buildings, supporting war equipment and alchemy equipment, we are also responsible for Shangjiang City.

Then we will expand this main defensive fortress and extend it outward to build a defense system, using the fortress control surface and the stronghold control line to create an overall defense network.

For the whole project, we expect to invest one billion gold coins in the early stage, which can initially complete the construction of this defense network, and we will add it according to the actual situation in the later stage.

In order for this defense system to be built quickly and effective, Shangjiang will send 100,000 laborers and 200,000 troops to the Magic Forest.

We will pay for the military expenses of this army in advance in the early stage, but in the future, we will need the Magic Forest and the Crystal Vein to cover the maintenance costs of your respective garrisons. ”

Princess Ziling was puzzled: "But we don't have the money to support the army. ”

Da Liang said with a smile on the side: "There is no money to be made, in addition, the Purple Dragon Clan's research on the gods also costs a lot of money and materials, and Shangjiang is not able to afford a long period of financial unreturn expenditure."

It's time for the purple dragons to learn to make money, and I have a business cooperation plan here, let's take a look at it together. ”
