Conquering Angelene is just a gift of accident/surprise for Rhodes, and the next thing is the highlight. With the influx of refugees, the various frameworks of Territory of the Void gradually began to improve. At the same time, the surrounding territories and Dukedom also began to try to contact Territory of the Void where Rhodes is located, in order to obtain sufficient benefits. Exploiting Land of Chaos is not just adding a piece of territory. Because hundreds of thousands of years of Chaos wreaking havoc, the entire Land of Chaos is filled with quite powerful magic power. It is under the influence of these magic powers that almost every newly developed Land of Chaos The inside can be described as rich in oil, and various high-purity ores are connected one by one. As for other magic plants that are cherished and rare, they are everywhere, and with the re-recovery of Order, those ruins that were broken during the Chaos attack are also I will see the sun again, but there are many hidden treasures and various documents in the ancient times, which will naturally attract the powerful adventurer to enter. In the game, every time player develops the Chaos territory, there will be a lot of player going deep into it to try their luck. Although in the real world, those mercenary do n’t have player, so they do n’t dare to run anywhere, but they will try to go deep into Territory of the Void. Adventure exploration is absolutely possible.
The most favorable evidence is that Rhodes has just begun to resettle the refugees. Land of Redemption has already received applications from Church, Alchemist Association, Mercenary Association and Ring Magic High Tower, hoping that Rhodes will allow them to carry out local branches in Territory of the Void, Church values It is a new wealth gathering place and believers. Alchemist Association values various rare and rare magic plants in Territory of the Void. The main targets of Mercenary Association are naturally those of the ancient times ruins vestige, and Ring Magic High Tower is for those crystal ore. All in all, in this new territory. There are too many factors that can attract them.
This is just those unofficial and non-governmental organizations. Although the major Dukedom territories have sent people to try so far, they have not started formal diplomatic exchanges immediately. The reason is very simple. At present, they are still not sure about Rhodes. It is how to plan your position. Although according to the convention. This kind of thing is not impossible. It seems that in the era of "land reclamation", many Pioneer Knights were knight and Lord, but when they owned their own land, it was not that no one went out independently. This is why there are a lot of Dukedom around Kingdom of Light's. Although they maintain contact with Kingdom of Light itself, they are independent in politics, economy and military affairs. If viewed in accordance with tradition, at most Rhodes will become such an existence.
But that's when his Dragon Soul Asylum is still the soul of Dragon of Light.
Now that the Rhodes' status has become the Dragon Soul successor, in this case, formal diplomatic relations need to be cautious. Like Mercenary Association. Organizations like Ring Magic High Tower don't care about this, because no matter what Rhodes''s status is, he is the only ruler here, and these unofficial organizations have to obtain his permission to gain a foothold here. So as long as Rhodes itself does not object to their entry, these organizations do not care about these. But those rulers are completely different, they must respond to Rhodes' identity in various ways. Whether it is economic, military or diplomatic. Of course, a regional Lord cannot be compared with the ruler of a country, and naturally the ruler of a country cannot be compared with a ruler of continent.
Actually, from the Vivian intelligence network, Rhodes has heard such sound of the wind. From inside Kingdom of Light, there have been yin and anger. There have been ridiculous rumors of Lydia, saying that she is Archangel Leader, but even her own subordinate/hand ’s Lord is not as good Such and such speeches, it is clear that Kingdom of Light is taking this idea, hoping to instigate the relationship between Rhodes and Lydia. But now ... Rhodes thinks he doesn't need to care about external relations anymore.
Because at this moment, in front of Rhodes', a "civil war" is erupting.
The cause is only one ——— money.
With the influx of refugees, the various systems around Rhodes have also begun unprecedented integration, so the problem of money has become prominent. The first is that Marlene needs a large sum of money for refugee resettlement and fusion and economic development plans. Secondly, Jade Orchid Heart said that because of the need to maintain the security and stability of the various gathering areas, the members of the local security team selected from the refugees need to be replaced with new equipment, otherwise they can only take wooden sticks to hit the gophers. But this is not over yet. While Rhodes was squandering for these troubles, Labise also came timidly, saying that the standard of Magical Construct weapon has been established, and then only need to invest to start preparing for mass production, and otherwise In addition, Vivian also expressed fear that the world will not be chaotic, and his own subordinate/hand information network also needs a lot of money to support ...............
Of course it is impossible to have so much money in Rhodes ’s hands, and although mines and mints have already begun to take shape in their own territory, it is not to say that as many coins can be mined as possible, and the facilities of the mine are also very dilapidated and backward Everything started from scratch from scratch, and it works smoothly right now, thanks to many skilled miners among the refugees. Although it is still dangerous to mine deep underground deposits, fortunately there are some open-pit mines in the Rhodes territory, at least to ensure smooth operation.
The problem is ——— foreign funds.
Just a few days ago, Rhodes got the news, Chamber of Commerce Alliance finally shot, they expressed to Rhodes that they are willing to help Rhodes to develop Territory of the Void, and the price is that Rhodes allows them to take root here in alliance. It was this news that caused an uproar among Rhodes' subordinates.
A lot of people think this is a good idea. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance are all strong Major Chamber of Commerce. These chambers of commerce include a wide range of everything. If they are willing to help Rhodes develop Territory of the Void, then the development speed of the whole Territory of the Void will be greatly accelerated, and Chamber of Commerce Alliance also offers quite attractive conditions and low prices, if they are really allowed to enter, then they can even guarantee in In the shortest period of time, all problems including commercial circulation are handled. The risk is borne by them. Rhodes only needs to sit at home and count the money then it will be alright. Their only requirement is. Hope Rhodes can provide them with official support to facilitate their actions. This does not seem to be an excessive requirement in the eyes of An, and in this way, it can save a large amount of expenses required for the construction of the territory, and at the same time, it can strengthen external contacts and commercial circulation. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes. As for armaments, since Chamber of Commerce Alliance is willing to provide equipment and weapons to Rhodes at a low price, Labise ’s armament research can also be temporarily paused to save money and wait until the money is available for future research.
However, Marlene is firmly opposed to this plan. Although it seems very convenient indeed, it is actually very convenient, but in this way, it is equivalent to handing over the entire territory to others. After all, citizen is not concerned about world peace, continent trends and future military threats. They are simply hungry for food, clothing and shelter. If these are all covered by others, what is the **** and presence of Rhodes'? Wait until the future Chamber of Commerce Alliance tentacles penetrated the entire Territory of the Void, even citizen what to eat. It ’s up to them to decide what to wear and what to live. As for the issue of armaments, Marlene is resolutely opposed to the purchase of equipment and weapons. Shenia Family itself is the supporter of Moon magical technology. As the heir of the family, Marlene naturally knows how important it is to have one hand in his own hands. This is the country's lifeline, Territory of the Void is not that kind of vassal Kingdom of Light's territory small country. Once the dependency is formed, it is too late to cut this trouble in the future. Although it is said that Rhodes' Dragon Soul is under pressure, it is only useful to the people under Void Dragon Asylum after all. As for those outsiders, it is not very useful. Once something really goes wrong, it is absolutely impossible to deal with it by then.
So both sides said their own, but no one wanted to give in. The former believes that although Marlene is indeed reasonable, it is indeed very dangerous. However, they do not have enough funds to support the development of every aspect of the territory. If they want to seize part of it, they must give up part of it. Otherwise, many things need to be started from the beginning, it takes a lot of time and energy, and may not necessarily be able to achieve results. For now, they face many dangers. There is no time for them to go step by step.
But Marlene disagrees. Although she admits that there are many difficulties in this way, as long as she can establish a good relationship with Moon and get support from Moon to develop her own foundation in a short time, then these difficulties are not impossible. Overcome. Although it will be very difficult. But it is also much better than ——— in the future. She doesn't want to participate in another civil war between North and South after coming here. Not to mention, although Chamber of Commerce Alliance is a neutral organization on the surface, Marlene is very clear that it has inextricable business links with Kingdom of Light. No matter from what angle, Marlene is opposed to let Chamber of Commerce Alliance intervene in the construction of Territory of the Void.
The main people arguing about this issue are Marlene, Vivian and An. Only the three of them can speak, and the others are completely listening to a cloud that looks like it does n’t know why. It ’s no wonder, after all, mercenary origin like Sol, Sous, Rando, Joey itself is political Sensitivity is not strong, Alchemist like Labise is an absolute authority in its own range, except that it is basically the same as ordinary person. Therefore, after listening to the argument of the three, they only felt dizzy. Whichever side sounds reasonable, but which side seems to have shortcomings ......... This is really terrible.
As for Canary and Little Bubble Gum, they entered the play mode very calmly. In online, they have experienced too many similar quarrels. For them, these do not matter. The most important thing is Rhodes ’s own attitude and decision.
"Okay."
At the end, even Rhodes couldn't help but knock on the table, started talking. Hearing Rhodes talking, originally was still arguing and everyone quickly closed their mouths and turned to look at their Lord Sir.
After gaining the ruling power of Territory of the Void, Rhodes did not separate himself from the crowd. After all, he is not the native of this world after all, and he is not so important for the so-called status. Rhodes is not used to that kind of self. Sitting in the center of the Longting Hall, then the civil and military officials ranked on both sides of the rhythm of "starting from something and retreating from nothing". originally he planned to hold a form like a round table ———, but after considering the tragic encounter of a bad guy Rhodes decisively gave up this model, after all, he did not want to betrayed by his son in the future and then the whole country separated and separated himself again Stabbed to death by his son ... This is also unlucky.
So the approach taken by Rhodes is to arrange a rectangular conference table, sitting in the middle, and the others sitting on both sides, which makes it look more like a family gathering than a serious political atmosphere, of course, because Rhodes It is also very clear that it is very difficult for me to create such an atmosphere at present, subordinate/hand. ——— Look at Annie, and she has fallen asleep on the table.
"Marlene is right, although the addition of Chamber of Commerce Alliance will leave us a lot of strength and funds, but I am not used to let everything be in the hands of others. Both minerals and food must be controlled by ourselves and can be sold to They, but they must not be allowed to put their ideas on our heads. These are our most important things, and they can never be handed over to others. In this aspect ... you handle it, Marlene, as for the magical furnace and tools you need can Buy from Moon, I think Shenia Family should be able to provide us some. "
"Of course no problem, Rhodes."
After the development of Territory of the Void, Rhodes learned from Marlene that Shenia Family has already done the migration work, which is not beyond the expectations of Rhodes'. According to Marlene, Shenia Family has followed Dragon of the Void for such a long time, and now Dragon of the Void is back. It ’s weird if they do n’t come back. From the standpoint of Rhodes', if you can get the assistance of Shenia Family, it is naturally even more powerful. It's just that Shenia Family has followed Moon for many years. Now Rhodes can't say dig and dig. So I'm afraid Rhodes will have to negotiate with Lydia before placing it on Shenia Family.
But this does not mean that the development work in the Rhodes territory has to be stagnation. In fact, Rhodes has already found a good candidate. (To be continued.
