Chapter 214 Meetings and Immigration

The dispute between Prince Oran and the high-ranking nobleman had no further progress. It seemed to have been suppressed temporarily. Judging from the few words captured by Andrea, it was the Duke's side that had the upper hand in the end, and it was the Prince's side who apologized.

There are no other substantial losses.

After all, the Duke holds the actual fiefdom in his hands, and the power in his hands is not comparable to that of just any prince.

A few days passed after that, and everything went on as usual, nothing unexpected happened.

It is true that many goblin tribes went south across the rolling mountains and came to the vicinity of Insurla, but their combat effectiveness and organizational skills were very low. Facing the well-prepared patrol troops who were waiting for work, they were completely defeated at the first touch. They had little resistance.

A team of ten people can easily dislodge a medium-sized goblin settlement of three to five hundred people.

This is probably a strategy of the hobgoblins. After their attack, they will continue to send goblins to harass their opponents, so that they need to tighten their nerves at all times.

This is a bit like how humans deal with rats and cockroaches. It is very easy to crush them to death, but once they settle down in the home, they may become very troublesome and unbearable to disturb in the future.

In terms of adaptability and reproductive ability, goblins can be said to be a very excellent race. Their maturity period is not longer than that of cats and dogs, and their reproductive ability is not weaker than that of pikas and rabbits. If they are not careful, they can breed in embarrassing numbers. Cleaning them up requires a lot of work.

energy.

Anyway, the number of goblins that the hobgoblins can afford to raise is limited, and some tribes that cannot afford the supply will be directly driven into the enemy's territory. If they advance, they will harass the enemy, and if they retreat, they will ease the population pressure. All in all, it is not a loss.

So far, it's okay. Tang Zhao and the others have many animal friends in the forest. The fairies and the unicorn Lorraine are coordinating among them. It's impossible for fish to slip through the net and reproduce in the forest. Normally, they should just let the forest rangers

Practiced daily.

Although there is going to be trouble in Oran, it seems that things will be calm in the short term. Tang Zhao is going to take advantage of this period to quarrel with Lu Fude's people to avoid any further unpleasantness later.

The forces in Luford City are roughly divided into the following categories: the beholders control many shares of the underground and docks, and the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce also have a lot of say. Of course, the two most powerful parties now are the Earl of Luford and the military noble Norton sent from above.

Kasdeyi, not only are the two parties similar in terms of thinking and division of power, but more importantly, there are two different forces behind them.

The location of Luford is actually quite important to be honest - even if the development level of the western part of Oran is far inferior to that of the eastern part, which is full of plains, fertile land and close to the sea, it is still the largest city in the west and the hub of transportation.

Once you control this place, you can basically control most of the western part of Oran, and you can further threaten some big cities in the east.

Tang Zhao now assumes that a civil war of unknown extent will break out in Oran after the death of the king. Under this premise, Luford will definitely be the focus of contention.

The beholder has asked a messenger to bring him a message, and a secret meeting will be held in Ruford City in a while. The content will mainly focus on business share distribution and "some recent tensions."

But before that, Tang Zhao still had some things to deal with - about the elves in the west.

In their words, the land in the western half of the great forest was severely damaged by the war. In addition, many elves from small settlements were displaced and came to their side for refuge, resulting in some loss of land and resources on their side.

If it is not enough, they hope to move some of the refugees to Karak Solma.

This is definitely true, but there are also deep-seated considerations in it - the specific Tang Dynasty edict is not sure, but the general reason is that the cooperation between the two parties is getting deeper and deeper, but there is nothing inseparable between the two parties.

Common interests are nothing more than standing together because of the common enemy. There may be a possibility of falling out in the future, so the elves made such a decision.

As long as the elves have a voice that cannot be ignored in Karak Solma, even if Tang Zhao is half-tied to the elves, it will be difficult for anyone to betray the other, even for the elves who are sensitive and like to do this.

Normal decision-making.

If Tang Zhao was a normal humanoid, then he would probably have arranged for a political marriage or something like that. Some elves have asked them now, but Tang Zhao put them off on the grounds that he could not transform and was not interested.

Strictly speaking, he himself is still an underage and incompletely developed "child", which has some comic effect when told.

Just like this, Karak and Solma will welcome about a thousand elven immigrants again. Although most of them will definitely be old, weak, sick, and disabled, they will more or less be accompanied by guard rangers.

The current population of the settlement is no more than 10,000, and with the addition of hundreds of new human immigrants, the sudden increase of more than 1,000 people is really a burden. Tang Zhao has been helping to deal with the affairs of these people recently.

——

Not long after, outside a secluded manor on the outskirts of Ruford, teams of all shapes and sizes were stationed in all directions.

The meeting mentioned by the beholder was held as scheduled, and many forces paid great attention to it - each party brought a team of nearly a hundred people to the manor to gather, and only a few personal guards and participants were allowed to enter the manor.

within.

Most of the people present were serious human beings. Occasionally, one or two dwarves and elves would appear. The only exception was Tang Zhao's team. A coalition of eight races would be enough.

He was specifically emphasizing his position. He did not come here as an ordinary leader of a chamber of commerce, but as the leader of a neighboring alien city.

Everyone would inevitably have some strange and scrutinizing looks, but no one said anything. On the one hand, it was obvious to all that Tang Zhao had contributed a lot in the last war against the hobgoblins, and on the other hand, it was because he was now considered an important member.

Even putting aside all this, Tang Zhao sells some monopoly products, the kind that only belongs to one family, so there is no need for others to offend him.

Tang Zhao did not appear openly, but hid in Bourne's large cloak and followed him and his guards into the manor.

Arriving at the most spacious and luxurious council hall in the manor, the primary and secondary seats were clearly divided - the top seat must be Earl Ruford himself, and the second seat is the representative of the human military commander Norton and Karak Solma.

Bourne and the president of the Cyclops Chamber of Commerce, who existed as beholder puppets, and the rest of the small and medium-sized nobles and businessmen sat in lower-level positions, divided into three obvious steps.

In fact, Tang Zhao knew very well that the water in this city was deeper, such as the Serif Chamber of Commerce that might have dragons, such as the large and small chambers of commerce supported by princesses and princes, but he just didn't say it openly, even if the beholder

I also put on a pair of gloves to do the work.
