Half-elf Ranger - Chapter 463
Since the victory in the decisive battle with the Hobgoblin, the various territories of the Emerald Field have spent more days fighting than the sunny days here in the past three years.
However, the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides changed dramatically.
Defenders who were once struggling in the wilderness became challengers who waged war.
Just three years.
The countless small and medium-sized evil creature tribes roaming in the emerald field were almost all wiped out.
They either surrendered or fled embarrassedly into the rolling Great Sword Mark Mountains, or perhaps into the rugged and complex terrain.
Even the most threatening tribes of lizardmen and bullywugs have recently been driven into bottomless swamps of mud and rotting bushes by a coalition of Twilight, Far Mountain, and Ironhorse.
The Falls have also expelled many evil humanoid tribes.
One of the biggest battles that took place a year ago was against a horde of ogres that had almost grown into a large population.
In that war, the Emerald Tower directly dispatched more than 100 clay golems to the front row, destroying the ogre tribe all the way.
It was this battle that completely stabilized the status of Waterfall Town.
That’s the unspoken rule of those borderlands in the wild.
If you want to gain ownership of a territory in the Emerald Fields, you must defend it from the attack of other races. Secure the rule of this land with blood and death, or the battle will be a never-ending battle.
It is because of the efforts of the six small towns in the past three years that the Emerald Wilderness has become a territory where there are almost no groups of medium-sized and above.
Even humanoids of this size are afraid of taking the initiative to attack because they are afraid of the reputation that the territory will bring.
Conversely, these evil humanoids must relocate their populations beyond the confines of their territories if they are to survive.
Because within the territory of the Emerald Wilderness, no ethnic groups that can threaten the residents of the territory are allowed to exist.
As long as they are discovered, they will be greeted with the end of perdition.
Thorne pulled out his chair and sat down. The people here are the leaders of each town, developing their own construction and defense.
Everyone has fought at least a hundred or more ethnic battles, and it is their ability that has been recognized by the residents and players of the territory.
Facing the gathering of the heads of these various territories, Thorne never felt any tension or oppression.
On the contrary, his expression seemed very relaxed.
To him, every meeting seemed like a perfunctory cut-scenario.
As long as his own interests are not involved, he generally speaks very little, and he is self-sufficient and asks nothing from others.
Even every time he voted, he followed in Carlos’ footsteps. After all, they both belonged to Falls Town and had common interests.
As usual, Thorne again focused on the two most powerful speakers, Sarajan of Twilight and Carlos of Falls.
The two were sitting right opposite each other.
Although they are both war lords by profession, Sarayan looks like a sturdy warrior. He may be a dwarf in the eyes of the orcs, but his body is very strong, and his arms are muscular with sleeves rolled up. Tangled, with a superior temperament that both friends and strangers will perceive.
Among the six territories in the wilderness, Twilight Town is the closest to Yuanshan Town, which was established three years ago. The reason why Jarod, the lord of Yuanshan Town, can be reborn from the ruins again, is because of Twilight Town’s unremitting efforts behind his back. support.
Therefore, the relationship between the two towns is the best.
Moreover, the two towns are the closest to the Sea of Glory, and almost all refugees and players fleeing from the chaotic southern kingdom will turn to them.
They also have the largest population, and now the number of original residents and players in the town has grown to tens of thousands.
Because of this, the interior of Twilight Town is also the most unstable town.
The former Twilight Town has accommodated many lords who lost their territories. When these wrecked lords who succumbed to Twilight Town saw that Jarod, the lord of Far Mountain Town, who had the same fate as themselves, had restored his former territory, many people were dissatisfied with it. Start playing your own little abacus.
They were not bare commanders when they joined Twilight, they also had their own cliques and factions.
As the ruler of Twilight Town, Sarayan naturally saw it.
In the past three years, in order to mediate the contradictions in the town and prevent it from falling apart, it can be said that he was heartbroken.
As a manager with the most power, this is no longer the team of one or two thousand people that was pulled up at the beginning. In order to develop in a healthy way and grow gradually, various regulations and systems must be perfected.
However, the other party’s method of governing the territory is still too soft, which indirectly causes many restless people to become active.
However, fortunately, the passage of three years has directly tempered the former lord who had a lofty dream of establishing a free kingdom for his compatriots in distress into the image of a superior person who is not expressing his anger or anger, which is quite vicissitudes of life. feel.
For Thorne, he still has a bit of a favorable impression of the former Salajan who had a strong sense of justice at first glance.
As for what he looks like now, he doesn’t know how to evaluate it.
He inadvertently asked the old troll butler a similar question, and the old butler gave him a very simple answer.
That is, when a person’s power gradually increases, they will instinctively have a defensive psychology that is afraid of being deprived of power and will actively protect their power and status.
When he was a little confused, he refuted the old housekeeper’s words: Power does not mean responsibility, and if you have corresponding power, you must take due responsibility.
The old housekeeper at that time gave him a meaningful look, then shook his head and smiled, and then threw him a sentence to let him experience it for himself: small wisdom governs affairs, medium wisdom governs people, and great wisdom governs system.
As for what kind of wisdom the lord in front of him belongs to, Thorne can’t tell.
But there is one thing he is quite sure of, that is, the other party still insists on the original dream, but he is a little bit overwhelmed by the more active subordinates.
This is a world of great power, and when you are strong enough, other things are almost at your fingertips.
Thorne could even think that if Master Deadwood hadn’t been assisting and directing Salayan’s management methods behind the scenes, Twilight Town would have been torn apart long ago.
After all, with the continuous development of the territory, many players who like to do things think that they have seen the prospects of the future, and involuntarily begin to breed some kind of ambition.
In addition, in the past three years, Twilight Town has developed the most momentum, and the players and the original residents are also mixed, resulting in many factions.
Thorne could even think of future outcomes if the lord’s wrists weren’t a little tougher.
Then Thorne turned his attention to one of the lords he knew best: Carlos.
Compared to Sarayan, Carlos, Lord of the Falls, doesn’t look like a warrior.
Wearing a plain robe, Carlos has a small skeleton, neatly trimmed black hair, and cheeks with no stubble, and his big, bright black eyes always make people feel his inner satisfaction.
If Thorne hadn’t seen the fierce appearance of Carlos raising his sword and leading the troops to charge in battle, it would be hard not to doubt his true strength.
Compared with the chaotic Twilight Town, the lower urban area of Pushang Town was managed in an orderly manner.
The most important thing is that Torvi, who originally had the same rights as him, was gradually stabilized and eventually became a chief financial officer of the town of Falls.
In addition to the half-elves, Waterfall Town has not been interfered by foreign forces, and it is reasonable to develop into what it is today.
Even the old housekeeper could not help but sigh at Carlos’ ability.
“The meeting begins.” While Thorne was wandering in the sky, Sarayan, the lord of Twilight Town with the council hammer, knocked on the table when he saw that everyone had arrived.
Every meeting will be led by a meeting chair, and the meeting chair will rotate back and forth between Carlos and Sarayaan.
The host of the meeting will read out the originally planned proposals to increase the importance of the meeting, and when everything is explained, everyone will start discussing important issues.
This is the three-year lord council after the establishment of the lord alliance.
However, just when Sarajan took out a parchment and was about to tell everyone the main issue this time, a person who surprised Thorne suddenly stood up and directly interrupted the meeting that had not yet officially started.
