"According to what you said, the fiefdom given to that little guy should be a place that the Holy See of Light values very much, otherwise they wouldn't dare to take action knowing that touching him would lead to the two major races.
"The second priest's exposed eyes were filled with doubts, and he looked at Austin and said: "Why don't I remember that there is such a place in the territory of Rockwell Empire?".
"Haha, it's normal that you don't know. There are very few people in the empire who still remember such a place." Austin turned around and pointed at the huge map behind him, and his eyes fell on the edge of the huge map.
A gray and dim area, which is different from other layouts, but very inconspicuous.
"Where is it?" Following Austin's line of sight, the second priest quickly discovered the dim area at the edge of the huge territory, and immediately laughed. If it really is there, it does meet the requirements of Austin's plan.
All conditions.
After bouncing up from the secret room, Zhang Yunfeng felt comfortable all over. He asked Xiao Jiujiu about the time, and then he realized that he had been in seclusion for half a month.
However, although the half-month retreat failed to completely digest the sealing power of the God of Sealing retained in the mental chip, it also used the energy law to decompose one percent of the divine power that condensed the sealing law.
The one percent divine power left by the God of Sealing is so pure that it can equal his three to five years of hard training. Although his realm has not improved, his energy level has broken through to the limit of a true demigod, and he is just short of creating
In his exclusive field, he is a true demigod.
Zhang Yunfeng stretched himself comfortably, walked out of the underground secret room, and walked into the hall to invite Roger and others to come over and learn about what happened during his retreat.
Ever since he received the edict issued by Austin, he has gone into seclusion. According to what Slater said last time, he had to arrive at the fief within one month after accepting the title. Previously, it was because the edict did not specify his fief.
Where is he, so he chose to retreat for a period of time to take the opportunity to improve his strength.
Now that half a month has passed, Austin must have made a decision about the fiefdom. Once these things are finalized, it will be time to leave.
"There are so many people here, is something big going to happen?" As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Yunfeng found that the hall was full of people, including Roger, Sarah, Ai Qier, Anna, Hannibal and Slater.
My father-in-law was actually present.
It’s not surprising that Hannibal is present. Considering the relationship between Fengyun Merchant Group and Jasmine Auction, Hannibal usually comes here to visit. However, Slater, the father-in-law, is the head of the empire’s military logistics department and is usually a very busy man.
Shao Hui came here, especially Milia is still staying in the Free City. If there is nothing serious, I am afraid that he should be busy at the military headquarters at this time.
"Master, please come out!" Roger was walking up and down the hall with a look of anxiety on his face. When he saw Zhang Yunfeng coming from outside, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately went to greet him.
"Roger, what happened?" Zhang Yunfeng asked. In his impression, Roger had always been steady, and it was rare to see him like this.
"You're really willing to show up. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid Austin will send out the Royal Knights to chase them away." Hannibal was stuffing sweet cakes into his mouth piece by piece, speaking slurred words.
"Send the Royal Knights here. It seems that it has not been a month yet. Why is Austin here to drive people away? The fiefdom has been decided?" Zhang Yunfeng looked at Hannibal with some surprise.
"The matter of the fiefdom was arranged three days before you retreated." He closed his big mouth, his throat visibly wriggled, and Hannibal swallowed the sweet cake in his mouth with great force.
It's appalling.
"Where?" Zhang Yunfeng's eyes lit up and he asked quickly. If he knew where the fiefdom was, he would immediately take action and leave Kangbeida.
Jiujiu had told him that there was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here in Kangbeida. There were more than five demigods in the imperial city alone. A month ago, there was even an aura that far surpassed that of demigods. Based on his current relationship with the royal family,
Relationship, if he stays here for a long time, there is no guarantee that the two parties will not have any conflicts. If he offends that group of god-level experts, he will also be in big trouble. It is better to leave as soon as possible. Please keep this in mind.
"Let Slater tell you about the fiefdom!" Hannibal's fat, round face changed slightly.
Zhang Yunfeng felt that Hannibal's tone was a bit strange, but he still looked at Slater.
"Hey! Your Majesty finally took action." Seeing Zhang Yunfeng's gaze, Slater said with a wry smile: "The fiefdom matter has indeed been arranged, but if you go to that place, you will definitely escape death."
"Where is the narrow escape from death? Could it be that the Forest of Despair has been designated as my territory?" Zhang Yunfeng was startled. It seems that the only places where Rockwell Empire can escape from death are the dangerous areas in the Forest of Despair.
Isn't it enough of a threat?
"If it's the Forest of Despair, that's fine. At least there's a glimmer of hope, but wherever you go, it's almost a matter of death." Slater said in a deep voice.
"What the hell is that place?" Zhang Yunfeng was really confused. In a place like the Forest of Despair, it's hard for anyone to enter it. If his territory really is somewhere, then it won't be a life-and-death situation for Austin.
What kind of territory did he divide that made Slater so fearful?
"You'll find out when you come over and take a look." Slater waved to him, motioning for him to come over.
Zhang Yunfeng walked over and found that a map made of Warcraft fur had been placed on the large square table in the hall. It was roughly a simple map, but it was particularly detailed in the area where the Rockwell Empire was located. It should be Rockwell
The territory of the Weir Empire.
"Is your fiefdom located here?" Slater pointed to an area on the map with a very ugly look on his face.
Zhang Yunfeng walked to the large square table and looked in the direction of Slater's finger: "The place is quite big, but it doesn't seem to be within the territory of the Rockwell Empire, right?"
The area pointed out by Slater is located in the easternmost part of the Rockwell Empire, almost off the east coast, directly adjacent to the sea. However, Zhang Yunfeng noticed that this area is different from other places, and there are some signs on it, which seem to
This area is not yet under the jurisdiction of the Rockwell Empire.
"This place is a disputed area. Both empires have been there before, but the two empires did not send troops to station." Slater said.
"Why?" Zhang Yunfeng asked curiously. The location pointed out by Slater is a declination on the east coast of the mainland. Just looking at the map, it seems like a tentacle extending from the land. This is somewhat similar to the Cape of Good Hope on Earth.
But the problem is that that place is adjacent to the coastline of two empires, the Rockwell Empire and the Edinpus Empire. Each of these two empires is vegetarian. They ignore it and fail to understand the importance of this place. If they occupy
This place is equivalent to having a springboard to attack another empire.
This is like the salted fish under the pillow of an old cat. You can eat it whenever you want. Now that you understand this, there is no reason why the two empires should not send troops to garrison it!
"This place is a deserted land. Not to mention the garrison, there is not even a living person!" Slater shook his head: "Because it is bordered by the sea on three sides, it is often attacked by sea monsters, and any wave will destroy it.
There are high-level monsters appearing, and in serious cases, there are even holy beasts coming, and even the divine beasts have led teams to harass them."
"Holy shit, even a god-level sea beast would go over and cause trouble. Isn't this an obvious way to ask me to die?" After Slater said this, Zhang Yunfeng knew Austin's intentions.
Meow meow, this hand is ruthless enough. When he gets to that place, he will not only be invaded by the never-ending siren. Even if he has the ability to build it into a fortified city, it can resist the intrusion of the siren.
But if this happens, the Rockwell Empire and Edinpus Empire will definitely send troops to attack.
After all, it would be fine if that desolate land was not developed. Once it is developed, it means that troops can be garrisoned. Occupying such a place is equivalent to having an outpost to attack another empire's sea and sea routes.
station, and even before the war started, they already had a huge advantage.
In that case, I'm afraid neither of the two empires would let such a place fall into the hands of an irrelevant person like him. This is a battleground for military strategists, and it will definitely become a place where the two empires clash.
"I knew Austin wouldn't be so kind. He would give me a territory several times larger than Combeda. His feelings would create even greater trouble for me." Zhang Yunfeng gritted his teeth.
The last time Austin promoted his noble title to Duke, he made him provoke a large number of noble enemies. Originally, this was nothing. When he arrived in the territory, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Even if these nobles hated him,
It's impossible to do anything to him.
I didn't think much of it. Austin was planning a series of tricks. First he created a group of noble enemies, and then he lost his connections in Combeda. This was already bad enough. Unexpectedly, the biggest trouble was also
Behind the scenes, Zhang Yunfeng was in a dilemma for a while.
There were two ways before him, one was to follow the emperor's order and go to the fiefdom, the other was to reject the emperor's order and immediately leave the Rockwell Empire.
If he chooses the first option, he will have to stay in that dangerous and desolate land for ten years. Although he has not been to that place personally and does not know the situation there, even the two empires know that the military there is
Even though Zhang Yunfeng now has the strength of a demigod and has a group of powerful subordinates, he has no confidence to defend it.
If you choose the second option, it will be equally dangerous.
In the past, in his impression, saint-level masters were almost invincible here in Kangbeida. But judging from what Xiao Jiujiu recently detected, the foundation of the Rockwell Empire was definitely not as simple as what he saw on the surface.
.There are no less than five demigods alone, and God knows what kind of perverted strong men are hidden there.
If he openly violated the emperor's order, wouldn't it just give Austin a legitimate reason to take action against him? Since returning from the Free City, he has felt that Austin's attitude towards him has changed.
His degree of change has changed so much that I just want to hack him to death. If he is given another legitimate excuse to deal with himself, I am afraid that he will immediately send out those hidden god-level experts to deal with him.
Although there is no way to determine whether those god-level experts will obey Austin's orders, judging from their location, even if they are not Austin's subordinates, they must be closely related to the royal family. He cannot guarantee it.
If the royal family comes forward, will those god-level experts take action against them?
"I advise you to pack up your things quickly and take your men to leave Combeda. It is best to leave the Rockwell Empire. You can't go to that desolate land!" Slater said seriously. Although his loyalty to the empire is unquestionable.
Doubtful, but Zhang Yunfeng is his daughter's favorite person and also his son-in-law. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, so Slater has no choice but to prefer Zhang Yunfeng.
"It's impossible to leave now." Zhang Yunfeng sighed. Originally, he had thought about taking Anna and a group of men away, but just now, Xiao Jiujiu gave him a temporary reminder that there was an ambush surrounding his mansion.
There are no less than two thousand members of the Royal Knights, and there are even two demigods hidden among them.
Judging from this camp, Austin had long been prepared to prevent him from leaving, so he specially sent the Royal Knights and the other two demigods.
Facing such a team, he is naturally fearless, but the problem is that there is such a large group of people around him. If the god-level strong men fight, the aftermath will be enough for them to feel comfortable. Zhang Yunfeng does not dare to use these friends against him.
, the lives of relatives come to bet.
"Husband, actually I think it doesn't matter where you lived in the past." At this moment, Anna suddenly said with a smile.
"I mean Anna, I see you don't even know where that place is. How can you be sure that there will be no accidents wherever Brother Yunfeng goes?" Ai Qier said with a slight frown on her eyebrows.
"Although I have never been anywhere, don't forget that nearby is the headquarters of the Storm Legion." Anna said with some pride: "Don't forget, my father also has the commander of the Storm Legion, and he is there.
, why worry about not being able to protect your husband’s territory.”
"That's right!" Hannibal nodded, his flesh rolling, and he smiled and said: "How could I forget that the Storm Legion is also stationed on the east coast to watch out for the sea monsters coming ashore, and is responsible for guarding the coastal areas of the empire. With him here
, even if those sea monsters are ferocious, it is still not a problem to save this kid’s life.”
"Hmm! This is a good idea. I can also use the military supply line of the Tornado Legion to temporarily send some materials necessary for building the territory to the Tornado Legion's station. After that, I can go to the Tornado Legion to collect them. This can save a lot.
Trouble." Slater opened his mouth and said.
Zhang Yunfeng's eyes lit up, and then he remembered that on the east coast of Rockwell, he had such a father-in-law whom he had never met before. But when he thought of this father-in-law, Zhang Yunfeng had a headache. He was originally
Tyson's father-in-law didn't even inform him, and now he came to ask for help rashly. It was inevitable that he would feel a little regretful on his face.
"Husband, don't worry, my father is very talkative. He will definitely be happy to help with this small favor." Anna rolled her eyes and said, "If you really feel sorry for yourself, you can get a batch of weapons for the Storm Legion.
The weapons manufactured by Fengyun Arsenal are very popular with the army, I think my father will be very happy."
"That's right!" Zhang Yunfeng finally let go. Since he didn't have any intention, why not give his father-in-law a big gift. After all, we are all members of the same family, so it's okay to do him a favor and give him some gifts.
"I'm going to talk to my brother and ask him to bring the Xinying." Anna nodded lightly, walked out of the hall with lotus steps, and was in a hurry, but she did not lose a little bit of her military family.
Hannibal and Slater also stood up and prepared to leave. They are busy people themselves and have many things to deal with every day. These days, a lot of work in their hands has been delayed because of Zhang Yunfeng's affairs. Now is the time to go back.
.
After seeing off his two father-in-laws, Zhang Yunfeng turned to look at Luo Jie and others, his face straightened, and he said: "Now that the fiefdom matters have been determined, we should prepare to leave. The Fengyun Merchant Group and the Yeming Mercenary Group
The situation, how it is now, how long it will take to get everything done and move to the East Coast.”
"Master, please rest assured about the situation of the Yeming Mercenary Group. Since you received the edict to be promoted to Duke, I have asked the mercenary group to stop accepting guild tasks. Except for a group of members who have not returned from performing tasks, everyone else is here.
We are waiting in the mansion, and if the young master needs it, we can leave later." Roger said first.
Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Yunfeng then looked at Sarah.
Bowing slightly, Sarah also added: "I have already mentioned to them the possible relocation. Some of them are not willing to leave, but fortunately, two-thirds of the backbone of Fengyun Business Group above the middle level are willing to follow.
Let’s leave.”
"Have the other third been won over by the royal family?" Zhang Yunfeng frowned. He could hear a hint of helplessness and hesitation in Sarah's voice. After a moment's thought, he made a guess.
"Yes!" Sarah didn't hide it. In fact, in order to retain useful talents, Sarah treated the backbones of the business groups much better than those of some large chambers of commerce. But what really made those people turn against her?
, but it was because of the involvement of the royal family, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Hmph! It seems that Austin really has a good idea. After I move Fengyun Business Group, he plans to build a new business group based on those who bribed the past." Zhang Yunfeng said about Austin's little tricks.
It was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with it, so he asked: "How is the situation over there at the arsenal? Are there many people who are unwilling to leave?"
"Well!" Sarah said: "The first place where the royal family penetrated was not the Fengyun Merchant Group, but the arsenal. Now in the Fengyun Arsenal, almost all the management are held by a few nobles close to the royal family, but I still follow the young master's instructions
According to instructions, each worker can only touch a certain part of the process, and Mr. Wesley is still personally responsible for the forging of iron, so the young master does not have to worry about this."
