Chapter 986: Planning and Layout of the Crown Prince Competition
"Why is he only a demigod?"
"This is the seven-colored divine crystal!"
"Except in this era, becoming a god is prohibited!"
Fang Yuan vaguely guessed something in his mind.
"So!"
"What should I choose?"
"A legion of three hundred dark gold strength, and a demigod hero."
After hesitating for a moment.
Fang Yuan made a choice quickly.
"Choice 2, upgrade Lilith's level to demigod!"
The reason for this choice is simple.
in this era.
Even the Dark Gold Legion will be suppressed by the rules.
It is difficult to sweep all countries.
But Lilith's strength advanced to that of a demigod.
The speed of developing alchemical potions will definitely be accelerated.
As long as we can research a potion that can quickly condense magic crystals.
Then your plan will be successful.
All that's left now is to take over the Alpha Kingdom.
Just mass-produce magic crystal warriors and defeat other countries.
"Ding, your hero Lilith's strength has been upgraded to demigod level!"
The beep goes down.
The seven-colored divine crystal in front of him turned into powder.
The power within it was absorbed by Lilith.
"Your Excellency Lord!"
"My strength is back."
"Demigod level!"
Lilith made a move casually.
The Flame Phoenix appeared beside him.
Then he said with some regret.
"It's a pity that large-scale spells like forbidden spells can't be used."
"Also, due to the suppression of the times, my magic power has reached the demigod level."
"But the destructive power of magic is not."
"And releasing magic requires more magic power."
Fang Yuan didn't care about what Lilith said.
"It doesn't matter."
"You are not needed on the battlefield at this time."
"I need the potion you developed."
"How's the progress now?"
“It’s not ideal because of the limitations of the times and the differences in the rules.”
"Research on rapid condensation of magic crystals is slow."
"According to current research results, it will take at least five years to condense the magic crystal."
If word of this gets out, I'm afraid all alchemists will go crazy.
It can be condensed in five years, which is enough to mass-produce magic crystal warriors.
But obviously, Fang Yuan felt that the time was still too long.
“It will take some time to shorten it.”
"Lilith, this is an unconventional move on our part."
"In that case, we can be a little extreme when conducting research."
"Don't worry about the lifespan, physical disability, and mortality rate of those magic crystal warriors."
"Even if only one out of ten succeeds, it will be enough."
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Lilith nodded thoughtfully.
"Your Excellency Lord."
"I know what to do."
After Lilith left.
Qingfeng brought another piece of news.
"Your Excellency Lord."
"Doug said that we were training the nomadic orcs on the grassland."
"It won't be long before we can mobilize a cavalry of 100,000."
Fang Yuan's heart moved.
The orc kingdom is now without gods.
The nobles among them can also be used by me.
If Doug can take over the Orc Kingdom.
By then, if we control the population of the two countries, we will have more forces to mobilize.
"Qingfeng, go tell Brennie not to return for the time being."
"Stay in the Orc Kingdom, assist Doug, and try to control the Orc Kingdom."
"As ordered!"
Christian asked at this time.
"Your Excellency Lord."
"Brainey is not returning."
"Then who should we send to the capital of the Alpha Kingdom?"
On the prairie, Blayney proved his strength.
Originally heading south to the capital of the Alpha Kingdom, Brainy was the vanguard.
But now!
Fang Yuan looked at the awakened hero.
Qing Feng is an assassin.
But not good at building an organization.
I need to awaken a new hero.
Open the Lord System.
Check out today’s wake up opportunities.
"Option 300: spear and shield infantry."
"Choice 2: Hero Heidi!"
"is her!"
Among Fang Yuan's heroes, there were a few who were hardly ever used.
Heidi is one of them.
This is because he has mastered the faction skill Demon Eye.
This makes him the best candidate to patrol and protect the territory.
In fact, Heidi is better at commanding heavy infantry.
It turns out that the Champion Heavy Armor produced by Plantagenet Castle is his direct branch of the army.
And apart from that.
Heidi herself is also a demon hero.
He and Blayney were once the right-hand men of Earl Plantagenet.
And compared to Blayney, Heidi is the chief officer in charge of intelligence.
He followed Earl Plantagenet, protecting him and handling intelligence.
Judging from its past.
Heidi is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Fang Yuan made a choice quickly.
"Ding, Heidi was awakened successfully."
A female swordsman wearing heavy armor and carrying a heavy sword appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
"Your Excellency Lord!"
Heidi bowed slightly.
He felt a restraining force all over his body.
"My strength has fallen to the middle level?"
Heidi tried to awaken the power of the devil, but found that she was now only left with pure physical strength.
"We are in a secret place. This is the suppression of the rules."
After Fang Yuan's explanation, Heidi quickly became familiar with her current strength.
"My Lord, how can I help you?"
Fang Yuan described his plan.
"So I need a hero to go to Alpha's capital."
“Establish an intelligence network.”
"At the same time, prepare in advance for my arrival in the future."
Heidi nodded.
“I am the best candidate, without a doubt.”
"I once went deep into the Wind's Rest Grassland and established an intelligence network on my own."
"I have collected a lot of intelligence for His Excellency the Earl's northern expedition."
Fang Yuan also took a fancy to this.
"what do you need?"
Heidi shook her head.
"unnecessary."
"My current identity is the best cover."
Despite this, Fang Yuan still gave him enough gold notes.
"If you run into trouble in the capital."
"You can go find the Royal Alchemist Kro."
"He will provide you with help."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
After Heidi left.
Fang Yuan began to focus on matters at the border.
After the war was won.
The next step is to divide the territory.
The swampland and Lehman City are his own forces.
As for other places.
Fang Yuan didn't want it.
But someone from Rainbow Land came to win us over.
Fang Yuan refused.
And the news that Kro sent back.
The Rainbow Duke is interested in competing for the crown prince.
As the lord of the border, I should support it.
For this, he also gave up the credit for killing Duke Carlo.
"Christian."
"The border war is settled."
"Then we just have to wait for the right time."
"I think since Border is interested in joining the game."
"Why don't we try the same old trick again?"
"Use the border as a whole to control the battle for Alpha's position from behind."
"This way you won't be exposed immediately."
"It can also provide us with an insurance policy."
"If anything goes wrong, just let the border nobles take the blame."
Heard Fang Yuan’s plan.
Christian said after thinking for a moment.
"My Lord, what are you going to do?"
Fang Yuan looked at the map in front of him.
"We are now counts."
“Qualified to be a chess player.”
"I think it's better to join the game myself."
"Join the Duke of Tyre."
"Plan together to seize the throne."
"The specific plan will have to wait until we integrate with each other, and then we can slowly lay it out."
Christian didn't object.
"Your Excellency, we can try to contact Sam then."
"You are all counts now."
"You rely on the nobles around you, plus the Red River Valley behind Sam."
"The two combined will be able to compete with Tyre City and Rainbow Land on the border."
Fang Yuan smiled slightly.
"I think so too."
"Assis."
Fang Yuan shouted.
"Your Mightiness."
"You go and deliver a letter to Lord Sam."
"Just say I invite him to visit the Chateau de Moulin Rouge."
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Then Fang Yuan looked at his own troops.
"The orcs won't be heading south anytime soon."
"We don't need to maintain so many troops here."
"Except for those alien forces."
"The human army can go south first."
"After Guderian's return."
"We can disguise ourselves as a caravan and head south first."
After hearing this, Christian asked with some confusion.
"What is the purpose?"
"Of course, at critical moments, we have the power to flip the table."
Christian hesitated.
"If we use force, I'm afraid the entire Alpha Kingdom will fall into civil strife."
Fang Yuan naturally knew.
In any fight for the throne, each force is not simple.
Trying to gain power through killing will inevitably lead to internal divisions.
But Guderian was different.
His kingship plundering skills were born for killing.
"It doesn't matter. Assassination is different from open attack."
"Guderian goes south and can look for important targets and use the royal plunder to complete the replacement."
“This way, we can quickly and easily open up the situation at the upper level.”
Christian felt much more relaxed when he heard that Fang Yuan was not acting recklessly.
"By the way, let Aria hide the troops."
"Don't scare Sam."
"Yes!"
Red River Valley.
In the Sam family's territory.
After the war against the orcs was over.
The nobles in the Red River Valley suffered heavy losses again.
Many nobles died without any descendants.
New territory became vacant again.
And the Sam family was a later outsider.
But he made a fortune because of this war.
At the critical moment, cooperate with the Baron of Moulin Rouge to attack the orcs.
They successfully defeated the orc infantry and slowed down the Carlo family's retreat.
Then they intercepted the fleeing orcs everywhere.
More than 3,000 prisoners were captured.
They became the family with the most captives among all the nobles.
Discussing merit after the war.
There was no promotion of the title for Sam's family.
But their base in the Red River Valley has expanded to the equivalent of a marquis level.
Became the largest noble family in the entire Red River Valley.
The territory's terrain is dangerous.
You can be independent if you lock yourself up.
Although we got excellent terrain.
But Sam also fell into sorrow because of this.
Because this is an open conspiracy against their family.
With this kind of terrain, if there are really a few fools in the future who close the door and become independent.
Then his family would be conquered in an instant.
The territory that was taken at great risk will also be redistributed.
You have to know that this time we have swallowed up too much territory.
I don’t know how many nobles are jealous.
For this, Sam urgently needs to be bound together with the border nobles.
But he himself rose from a baron.
Even in the border areas, they are nobles with no roots.
Although the previous war won the favor of other nobles in the Red River Valley.
But when it comes to interests.
But no one takes these seriously.
The current Sam family has territory but no status.
If you want to get the corresponding status, you need a community of interests.
But because his foundation was too shallow, he couldn't get into the core of other people.
Sam was very upset about this.
"Father, we just went to the Sandro family to propose, but were rejected."
"He said we smelled of the rot of the swamp."
Hear this.
Sam's eyes blazed with anger.
But it soon disappeared.
"Humph!"
"The Sandro family, I helped them get back the family territory this time."
"And laughed at me."
"They are indeed a group of barbarians."
"Forget it. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
"What about your third brother? He went to the Heim family to arrange a marriage for your little sister."
"Any news?"
As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
"Father!"
His third son rushed in.
There were bruises all over his face.
"what happened?"
Sam had actually already guessed it in his heart.
But he still asked with a serious look.
"I request to take three hundred cavalrymen to destroy the Heim family."
"Nonsense!"
"what happened?"
“They bullied me.”
"I brought gifts to ask for marriage, and the Heim family agreed."
"And then they turned around and called me a redneck from the swamp."
"A bastard born from a frogman, and he wants to marry into the Heim family."
"They also looted our gifts."
"Everything I brought this time was snatched away."
This time, Sam could no longer suppress his anger.
"These bastards!"
Sam slammed the table and stood up.
My teeth will break.
It doesn't matter if you lose some money.
Now the Sam family is extremely wealthy.
But insulting his daughter.
This is absolutely not okay!
The eldest son beside him also shouted.
"Father, for my little sister's honor."
"The Heim family must be punished."
Sam wanted to too, but the Haim family!
He took a deep breath.
He is the Marquis of the Red River Valley.
He was also a relative of the Governor of Tyre.
Do it to him.
Wouldn't that give Governor Tyre an excuse to send troops against him?
these people!
It's forcing yourself to make mistakes.
Then they can divide up their own territory.
Despicable nobles.
But at the same time, he felt more helpless.
A nobleman without any background occupied such a large and good territory.
He had already been a prey in the eyes of other nobles.
They will use all kinds of dirty tricks to force you to make mistakes.
Then find an excuse to kill you.
"No, no."
"We must not send troops."
And his second son asked.
"But father, are we going to be bullied all the time?"
"If there is no way to counterattack, you will be forced to counterattack sooner or later!"
Sam knew it, too.
But there was nothing he could do.
Now we can only drag it out slowly.
And suddenly.
Sam thought about Efron.
Just like himself, will Efron be the same as himself?
How will he solve it.
Or maybe the alchemist behind him will help solve it.
If only I could get the support of the alchemist.
Just as Sam was thinking about this.
A waiter came running in.
"Report, Sir Sam."
"Count Efron has sent an envoy to invite you to a banquet at the castle at Moulin Rouge."
Hear the news.
Sam's mind raced.
Thinking about the purpose of this banquet.
But soon he said.
"Prepare 50,000 gold coins immediately."
"No!"
"Efron doesn't like gold coins."
"Prepare three boxes of magic crystals as gifts and leave for the Moulin Rouge Castle immediately."
Just after Earl Sam left the Red River Valley.
now.
The Governor's Palace in Tyre.
"Oh, Sam went to Efron's?"
Governor Tyre's face turned grim.
These two nobles walked out of the swamp.
Relying on his military achievements, he obtained a large amount of wealth and territory.
After solving the orc problem.
Governor Tyre planned to slowly erode these two noble families.
Use their wealth to make up for their losses in the war.
Sam, who is currently cleaning up the Red River Valley, has not yet taken action against the Moulin Rouge.
I didn't expect that they would contact each other in advance.
"Your Majesty the Governor."
"They are both counts."
"If we get in touch."
"I'm afraid their power is not weaker than ours."
"Efron, in particular, gained the trust of the surrounding nobles during the war."
"They volunteered to become Efron's vassals."
"Sam doesn't have that advantage though."
"But he's rich!"
"They combine to get both money and people."
"It's a big threat to you."
Governor Tyre hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"So what do you think I should do?"
"It's better to kill them halfway!"
"Get rid of them!!!"
Governor Tyre was greatly moved.
But Efron's record soon came to mind.
He shook his head again.
"No!"
"Efron's identity is a mystery."
"There are very strong knights around."
"Our main forces suffered heavy losses."
"Don't do it for now."
"First, let's look at the purpose of their union."
"As long as it doesn't threaten our plans!"
"let it go."
"If you are against the border nobles participating in the fight for the crown prince."
"Then tell Duke Rainbow to work together."
"Yes!"
Moulin Rouge Castle.
"what!"
"Efron!"
“You’re playing such a big game!!!”
At the banquet.
Earl Sam was shocked by Fang Yuan's plan.
The look he gave Fang Yuan was full of disbelief.
At this time, Fang Yuan leaned back in his chair.
He drummed his fingers on the armrest, stared at Sam for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
"So!"
"The noble Lord, Lord Sam."
"Now can you tell me your choice?"
Facing Fang Yuan's aggressive questioning.
Sam's lips pursed for a moment.
"Do I have a choice?"
Looking at the warriors outside the banquet, he sighed.
Hearing this answer, Fang Yuan smiled faintly.
"Somebody come!"
"Go to Tyre and tell the Governor."
"Just say that I and Earl Sam invite him and Duke Rainbow to the banquet."
"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
