Upon learning that Ling Chen asked for an audience, Oliver immediately roared at the guards.
However, just as the guard turned around tremblingly and walked a few steps away, Oliver suddenly called out to him.
Ling Chen is also an adventurer, and now it was the adventurer's guild that almost destroyed the main city. In addition, Ling Chen intercepted the property that was shipped out last time. Oliver should have hated Ling Chen to the core. His initial reaction was also
This was indeed the case, but after a second thought, he changed his mind. He understood that there must be something wrong with Ling Chen's visit, and under the current situation, this was already his glimmer of hope.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Ling Chen finally waited for the guard to come back. The reply was as he expected, and Oliver agreed to summon him.
Following the guards all the way deeper, the various houses and gardens along the way were in dilapidated condition. As they were about to reach the yard where Oliver was, the war situation improved. According to Ling Chen's prediction, if the Jingtian Guild continued their attack, it would take at most an hour.
If you can kill outside Oliver's yard, you will probably be able to successfully take control of the main city within ten hours.
"Report, the setting sun and stars are here!" the guard shouted loudly from outside.
"Let him in!" Oliver's voice sounded.
Ling Chen immediately stepped forward, waited until the guards left, and then opened the door.
The study was empty, with nothing there. Oliver was sitting on the only chair, looking at Ling Chen indifferently as he entered.
Ling Chen smiled and said respectfully: "Lord City Lord!"
"As an adventurer, you should, we are in a hostile relationship now." Oliver said coldly: "Come to me, are you going to persuade me to surrender in Kaicheng and surrender to the guild established by you adventurers? If so,
I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
Ling Chen slowly shook his head: "The city lord guessed wrong!"
"Wrong guess?" Oliver looked at Ling Chen quietly and snorted coldly: "Explain your purpose of coming!"
"How do you feel about the Adventurer's Guild suddenly declaring war on the main city?" Ling Chen asked with a smile.
Oliver stood up suddenly and said angrily: "You ask me what I think? I have never treated you adventurers badly before, right? I didn't increase taxes on you, right? Now that you are full-fledged, you can rob the main city with me.
What do you think I feel?"
Ling Chen didn't care at all about Oliver's roar, and wrote lightly: "The City Lord and I have the same idea, the Adventurer's Guild is indeed a bit ungrateful."
"It's not the Adventurer's Guild, but all of you adventurers. Just like you..." A blue vein popped out on Oliver's forehead: "I'm transporting a piece of property. If you hadn't taken the lead to stop it, the property would have been hidden by now.
"
"The Lord of the City didn't know something, and I was forced to do so." Ling Chen sighed.
Oliver sneered: "Forced? With your strength, who can force you?"
"A guild established by adventurers!" Ling Chen seemed to be gritting his teeth and said: "The city owner also knows that I am the patron saint of Guanghui Village. These adventurer guilds threaten me with Guanghui Village and ask me to seize property, otherwise they will deal with Guanghui Village.
.Although there are many militiamen in Guanghui Village, how can they be the opponent of the Adventurer's Guild, and I am only one person. I have no choice but to compromise."
"Really?" Oliver couldn't help but look Ling Chen up and down, and wondered, "What's their purpose for doing this?"
Ling Chen knew that he was not good at lying. Before meeting Oliver, he had been planning for several days. He had considered almost all possibilities and accidents and came up with a response plan. He also asked Qing Yao to help review the entire plan and
Imagine. After hearing this, there was no need to think about a temporary response at all. He immediately shook his head and said: "I'm not sure. According to my guess, he wants to undermine the prestige of the City Lord. It seems... he also wants the people to know that the City Lord is no longer strong enough.
Even a batch of property cannot be protected. As a result, more and more people are rebelling.”
Oliver nodded subconsciously, this explanation was reasonable. After that incident, the rapid expansion of the Evil Slayer Army from hundreds of thousands to one million is the best proof.
Ling Chen sighed heavily again: "To be honest, the real enemies of the city lord are actually the large guilds established by adventurers. It can also be seen from the transportation of property that almost most of the adventurers are
Choosing to side with the City Lord. Although there is some reason for the City Lord's higher remuneration, it is also a big reason why these adventurers support the City Lord. After all, the City Lord has always increased the taxes of the people.
I haven’t thought about increasing the taxes for adventurers, and it’s not like everyone is ignorant.”
Oliver's heart moved. Ling Chen's words gave him hope. The adventurers' taxes were not increased because the adventurers' taxes were not owned by the main city. No matter how much they were added, he would not have a share. But he did not expect that the adventurers' taxes would not be increased.
, in this way, it can win the support of adventurers.
If only a few large adventurer guilds really want to rebel, and other adventurers can stand up to stop these large adventurer guilds, the crisis in the main city may be solved.
The look on Oliver's face in Ling Chen's eyes has made him more confident. It is impossible for players to stop those large guilds from attacking the main city, because if the main city is captured, they can also get a lot of benefits, and the player guilds
After entering the main city, you will definitely have to put up a huge amount of deposit to scare other large guilds from declaring war. Once war is declared, the benefits shared by ordinary players will be even greater. Moreover, this is only a war within the main city.
, we will definitely be able to fight against other main cities in a few years. The more we fight, the more benefits ordinary players will get from it.
However, these are not important to Ling Chen, as long as Oliver believes that the players support him.
"Lord City Lord..."
Ling Chen was about to speak but stopped.
"If you have anything to say, warrior, just say it." Oliver's attitude changed drastically. He not only stood up and asked the guards to bring a chair in for Ling Chen, but also personally poured a cup of tea into Ling Chen's hands.
Ling Chen took a sip of tea and sighed again: "Unfortunately, there are only three days left. Even if the adventurers are dissatisfied with those large adventurer guilds, they can't do anything about it because they can't participate in the war and can only fight in the war.
The periphery provides support to the main city. But the periphery... Judging from the strength shown by the Jingtian Guild in this attack, I am afraid that they can attack the city lord's mansion in one go. Unless the same situation happens this time, the Jingtian Guild will
I'll find you soon, otherwise..."
"Did you find the president of Jingtian Guild?" Oliver asked in surprise: "You mean, this time Jingtian Guild attacked the main city and had already reached the city lord's palace, it was not because of lack of financial resources that it retreated?"
"The Jingtian Guild just gave up and immediately invested a lot of money to declare war on the main city. How could it be that it lacks financial resources?" Ling Chen said with a bitter smile: "I am lucky. I accidentally found the president of the Jingtian Guild in the periphery and took the opportunity to capture him.
, forcing him to give up the attack, Jingtian Guild then retreated. Unfortunately, I trusted the leader of Jingtian Guild so much that I let him go after I found out that Jingtian Guild had given up attacking the city. Who knew he would then declare war on the main city."
"Oh...how can you believe his promise?" Oliver was extremely annoyed, but he couldn't bear to lose his temper with Ling Chen. He punched his thigh with a fist, grinning in pain.
"It's all because I trust people too easily!" Ling Chen sighed sadly, looking no less annoyed than Oliver.
"Forget it! The matter is over. There's no point in feeling upset and blaming yourself. Can you think of a way to arrest the president of the Jingtian Guild again before the siege begins?" Oliver comforted him in turn.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult after suffering a big loss." Ling Chen said helplessly: "In these three days, I can only try my best, but... the city lord should also make preparations in advance."
Oliver's body felt a little weak, and he leaned on the chair and nodded helplessly. Ling Chen's words extinguished a lot of the hope he had raised. With only three days, the adventurers could not pose any threat to the Jingtian Guild, and they had more than enough to do.
Insufficient. The number one man in Yuhan City in front of him missed the opportunity to return to the mountain. Even if he was lucky enough to be able to find the president of the Jingtian Guild, there was also little hope.
"By the way, Lord City Lord, Xingchen has something to ask of me. I wonder if Lord City Lord can agree to it." Ling Chen seemed to think of something and suddenly spoke.
"No matter what the warrior proposes, I will do it for you if you can do it. But..." Oliver said with a wry smile: "In terms of property, there are very few that I can mobilize. Rare items, skill books and other things, because of the warehouse
The key to the big lock has been lost, and it won’t be possible to get it out in a short time.”
"It's not a requirement for property or rare items." Ling Chen said, "I would like to ask the city lord to change both the population limit and the land area limit of Guanghui Village to unlimited."
"Change the upper limit of population and the upper limit of land area to unlimited? No..." Oliver was startled, and then shook his head subconsciously. After speaking, he seemed to feel that his tone was a little unfriendly, and explained helplessly: "If this happens, people from other villages will definitely move to Guanghui.
Villages, thus not only wasting a lot of land, but also easily causing chaos in management due to the large population.”
"To be honest with you, City Lord, I caught the president of Jingtian Guild this time and threatened him to give up attacking the main city. I have completely offended him. Once Jingtian Guild captures the main city, they will definitely seek revenge from me. If Guanghui Village cannot become stronger
..." Ling Chen smiled bitterly: "I know I am acting selfishly, but who has no selfish motives at all? If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If the Jingtian Guild really wants to seize the main city, the president is the most powerful person. I
We can't resist at all, so we can only ask him for peace."
"This..." Oliver hesitated. He understood what Ling Chen meant. If the expansion of Guanghui Village was not changed to unlimited so that he could have a certain resistance, he could only seek reconciliation with the president of the Jingtian Guild.
You can leave. It will undoubtedly be more difficult to wait for the Jingtian Guild to capture the main city before reconciling, let alone spend three days trying to find the president of the Jingtian Guild to force him to stop attacking the main city before the reconciliation is destined to happen.
On the other hand, it would be good to help Jingtian Guild to attack the main city.
If you don't agree, it will be equivalent to pushing Ling Chen to the Jingtian Guild's side, and the only glimmer of hope will be completely shattered. But if you agree, Guanghui Village will become the biggest threat to the main city in the future, and the consequences will be huge.
