Chapter 197: Construction of the Main City (End)

Immigration is a major undertaking, and it is no different for Rhodes.

First of all, the remnants of the fire, even Rhodes himself had to admit that this battle against chaos was indeed very dangerous and difficult. More than half of his mercenaries were killed and wounded, and the Knights of the Bow were almost wiped out, with only Rasti and a few Knights of the Guard surviving. However, the problem of the Bow Knights is easy to solve, they are heroic spirits themselves, and they can only be summoned again. On the contrary, it was the loss of the mercenaries that made Rod very helpless, but fortunately several people in charge survived, I don't know if they should say that they were hard or lucky, or they resolutely implemented the commander who Rod taught at the beginning must not risk his life?

In contrast, the remnants are much more unlucky, they are the main force of defense, and their strength is only one line higher than the mercenaries brought by Rhode, and they are not as good as the Bow Knights. Even the Knights of the Archers were almost wiped out inside, and these remnants were naturally no better. According to the final statistics, seven or eight out of ten of the guards in charge of guarding the remnants have completely disappeared into the devouring of chaos, and most of the rest are seriously injured and have lost their ability to fight. Only the remnants of the shelter have barely escaped the catastrophe, but most of them are old and weak, women and children, and there is only so much they can do. But of course Rhodes can't let them go, anyway, they have also guarded the fire for so many years, and now that they run out, they want to kick the other party away, this kind of thing Rod will definitely not be able to do.

But building a territory is not a simple matter, and there are many things that Rhodes simply can't do. Although he once managed a territory in the game, it was only a game after all. All Rhodes had to do was adjust the tax rate and wait for the money to be collected. Anyway, the money in the game comes out of nowhere, and players don't have to worry about where the money comes fromβ€”β€”β€” such as why they will find a few coins in the corpses of monsters like wolves and slimes.

But now, as a lord of a land, Rhodes has to start having a headache about these things. Because of the closed life. These remnants don't use anything like gold coins on weekdays, and they live a strict overall allocation system similar to militarized management. This kind of system is easy to say in that kind of simple and closed world, but it is different now, even if it is barter, commercial transactions are also a step in foreign economic exchanges.

Even if he is the top player in the game, it doesn't mean that Rhodes can be comfortable at this level. As a result, after thinking for several days and unable to come to a conclusion, Rod decisively threw this matter to Marlene to deal with, as for how she wants to establish a complete financial circulation system in her own territory, which can match the outside world, Rod no longer thinks about it, this is not his field of expertise at all, and he is not a finance department in college.

As for the mercenaries who followed Rhodes, they were all promoted by Rhodes to members of the elite guard, regardless of rank. Being able to hold on to such a ferocious tide of chaos to the extreme is enough to show their strength. Although it was cruel, but with the tragic baptism of war, those real elites were screened out, and even Rhodes, after meeting them, found that after this series of battles, those people had a little more unprecedented perseverance and strong will to fight. And I don't know if it's because of breaking through the limit. Most of them have actually broken through the limits of the aborigines and reached the level of level 40 or above. Although Rhodes now has less than a hundred mercenaries of this level. However, their strength is enough to become the core elite troops of the guardian royal family.

After that, Rod also took the time to get in touch with the Seven Loves and others located in the outside world through the soul connection, although there is the protection of the Absolute Order Wall, they can't enter here for the time being, but through the system connection, Rod still reports from the Seven Loves and others. I learned about the situation outside.

Inside the Land of Chaos, Rhodes and the others didn't have any concept of time, but on the outside, four or five months had passed, and it was almost the end of summer. It has to be said, although there is no concept of time. But when they heard the report of Seven Loves, everyone was still surprised. It's no wonder that in the land of chaos, even the south and the north can't be distinguished, basically everyone is living in a dazed and chaotic life, and the only one who has a concept of time is only after coming to the source of fire, but he didn't expect that such a long time has passed in the outside world.

However, the chaos in the territory that Rhodes feared did not happen, although many people expressed their dissatisfaction and worry about not being able to see Rod and Marlene. But this is nothing for the Seven Loves, this Fire Elemental Lord is a fox, and the fox is the best at deceiving people, so she found a very strong reason and sent those guys away. And the reason she was looking for was...............

"On maternity leave?"

Hearing the reason from the female fox from the other end of the soul connection, Rhodes instantly felt as if he had been hit by spiritual magic, and he couldn't calm down.

"That's right, huhuhu, master. Doesn't that make sense? Miss Marlene is pregnant and needs to recuperate for a while and can't work for a while, and I think this reason is perfect. As for work, it's not a big problem to have Ann and me help. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Forget it, is there anything else? ”

was speechless for less than three seconds, and in the spirit of "Dead Dao Friends Don't Die Poor Dao", Rod decisively revealed this matter directly, as for what kind of expression Marlene will have after hearing the news, and how to face it, this has nothing to do with himself. At this moment, Rod was more worried about himself, he really didn't open the house for three days, and he knew that Lu Dao wouldn't leave Qilian outside in the first place. Rod had already begun to consider whether he would have the opportunity to drag the cunning she-fox to the bed and let her know what the courtesy of master and servant was.

"Other than that, is it all right? The Night Nation hasn't bothered us since the armistice was signed, but as for the Light Nation......... Huhuhu............... Master, your chess pieces are really useful. ”

Even through a spiritual connection, Rod could imagine the evil smile on Qilian's face at this moment. Sure enough, he soon got the situation of the country of light from the seven lovesβ€”β€”β€” originally inferred according to the schedule, the country of light was a critical period for the election campaign at this moment. But I didn't expect that it was during this critical period that there were many unimaginable conflicts and violent incidents within the Land of Light.

The origin of the conflict comes from the Council of Light itself. As the election campaign intensified, people everywhere began to respond. It was also because of this that a strong conflict broke out between Councillor Nackvande and Councillor Green. The former believes that humanity should be united. Strive for a new future. The latter, on the other hand, believes that those who come from remote and poor places should be allowed to go back wherever they came from, and not parasitize the bodies of the Land of Light like blood-sucking parasites to suck their scarce money and resources.

This naturally led to conflicts and dissatisfaction between the immigrants and the native people, in the eyes of the natives of the Land of Light, those immigrants did not respect their traditions and culture at all, and did not work hard when they came here, but slept on the streets or committed crimes everywhere, causing their originally peaceful and peaceful city to become a den of crime, and coupled with the previous statement of Councilor Green, there are also many people who believe that the army of the Land of Light was defeated by the Night Country not because the enemy was too strong. It's because of the greed of these outsiders! These people should get out of the Land of Light, and go back from where they came from!

Naturally, those immigrants could not accept such arguments, and in their opinion, they came here desperately, doing dirty and low-paying jobs such as sweeping the streets and cleaning up garbage all day long, so they couldn't bear it? If you hadn't done this work here, you self-righteous fellows would have been piled up in a mountain of garbage at the gate! You push us the work you don't want to do. I don't want to work hard to find a job, but now I bite back and say we're wrong? Call us around when you need us. Don't need us anymore and treat us like garbage? Are we really bullies?

In this situation, the pro-Nackvande faction and the pro-Green faction often clashed in the streets, although this happened in previous elections, but perhaps because of the tragic defeat that people had experienced before, people desperately needed a way to vent their emotions, and that is why. Violence in the Land of Light continues to escalate, with many people being involved, and the dead and injured are also appearing from time to time.

But what is even more unexpected is that just as the situation continues to ferment, there are several border territories in the Land of Light. Those non-human races have uncharacteristically united, claiming to be free from the jurisdiction of the Council of Light, and no longer tolerate the tyranny of the Council of Light. They even drove almost all the humans who invaded their land out of the city.

The situation has developed to such an extent that even the Council of Light is taken by surprise.

For a long time, non-human races have no rights in the Land of Light, and no matter what race you are, as long as you are not human, you are not protected by the law. So in the Land of Light, selling elves and everything happens from time to time. Even the War Angels were forced to take refuge in Moon, and the few remaining ones just hid in the Dragon Soul Hall and never went out. Therefore, the rights and interests of those who are not human cannot be guaranteed. Even in some border areas, there are special hunting squads of humans to hunt and capture non-human races for trafficking.

This has been going on for hundreds of years, and the non-human races have not resisted, but where there is oppression, there is resistance. Where there is resistance, there is repression. Most of the non-human rebellion ended in failure. But this time, they didn't know what medicine Lu Dao was taking, and they actually joined forces to attack at the same time. In addition, due to the emptiness of the internal armaments of the Land of Light due to the previous battle with the Night Nation, those border territories were really taken back by them!

At this time, the Council of Light suddenly had a headache, send troops, there are not enough people now. But if you don't send troops, will you just watch those aliens occupy your land? Although it is possible to ask for support from other territories, due to the previous defeat, the prestige of the Council of Light has been reduced a lot, and the requests that are sent out are basically sent away by the other party.

Because of this, the country of light is completely chaotic at this moment, and they didn't think about taking advantage of Rhodes' absence to find trouble with the territory. But as soon as this incident broke out, they were not in the mood to pay attention to Rhodes' atonement place.

"Looks like Sonia is doing a good job."

Hearing the report of the Seven Loves, Rod nodded with satisfaction. Before leaving, Rhodes had considered that the Council of Light guys might play tricks while he wasn't there, in order to prevent them from getting bored. Rod then asked Sonia to incite confrontation and contradictions as much as possible during the election campaign to create chaos, and now it seems that Sonia has been more successful than she imagined.

"That's right, master, Miss Sonia is doing a great job, she is worthy of being the you fancy master, and her quality is really first-class. Ah, by the way, on top of that, your meat urinal slave has some very important things you'd like to tell you personally, so please contact her when you have time. Although, in my opinion, it's just a slave in heat who wants a reward. ”

"I know."

After spending so much time with Seven Love, Rod has certainly learned the skill of automatically filtering out her mouths full of train-running rhetoric. Therefore, after listening to the report of Seven Loves, Rod pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"I'll take care of it when I'm done with it."

As he spoke, Rhodes raised his head and looked at the seven monster nests displayed on the system panel in front of him.
