I saw Grand Duke Jonathan calling his men and bringing a thin piece of fine gold creation.
There are many runes and lines engraved on it, and magic power is flowing.
There are soul gems embedded in the four corners.
He held the strange fine gold creation, turned around and explained to Zong Shen.
"This is a memory gold tablet, a magic item that stores information."
"It contains a detailed roster of this population and soldiers."
"It covers basic information such as place of origin, age, etc."
"The memory gold pieces can have some resonance with the identity tags carried by each person, making it easier to check and organize."
"Those identity tags all leave soul fluctuation information in advance."
As the Grand Duke spoke, he spurred his horse to pace and turned around and came to Zong Shen's side.
The war horse is tall and majestic, but it is still shorter than Hamis, the dark nightmare of hell.
Although exotic horses like the Thunder Pegasus are on par with Hamis in terms of size, they are not generally controllable.
Relying on strengthening points, Archduke Jonathan's strength has been rising steadily recently, but there is still a long way to go before reaching the legendary level.
The originally dignified Grand Duke didn't seem to care about such a gap.
He calmly handed the memory gold tablet to Zong Shen.
In this regard, Mr. Zong didn't say much, he just nodded and continued.
After seeing the changes in Grand Duke Jonathan, Zong Shen also put away his previous contempt.
Officially consider him a qualified opponent.
Since the other party is fully cooperative, there is no need for him to make any messy operations. He can just accept this group of people in accordance with the contract signed by both parties.
After the expansion of [Dimension Cube Parts·5 (Unknown)], the small world inside [Dimension Seed (Special)] has become much larger.
Accommodating this population is no problem at all.
After a brief inspection of the memory gold tablet, Zong Shen began to receive people in an orderly manner.
It was dark now, and there were many braziers around the temporary settlement.
The emergency rally horn was sounded.
Zong Shen chose to take the lead in receiving the more than one million troops, including thousands of spellcasters.
There is strategy module verification, which eliminates the need for cumbersome and detailed inspections.
He left Lexa and Gugart at the scene to be responsible for opening up a small dimensional world to accommodate the population, and then left.
Together with Archduke Jonathan, we went to the military outpost not far from the resettlement place to rest for a while.
Some follow-up issues were discussed incidentally.
Grand Duke Jonathan was impressed by Zong Shen's deft style.
Both sides rode forward side by side, with a tacit understanding that they did not bring any men with them.
"The changes in His Excellency the Duke are really impressive."
"I think about more than a month ago, your temperament was not so calm."
Zong Shen, who was riding Hamis alone, spoke loudly.
His words made Grand Duke Jonathan laugh boldly.
When the laughter disappeared, the Grand Duke's rich explanation came over.
"After so many years of confusion, I finally learned some truth."
"The things I pursued were all bubbles in the sun, and they would disappear without leaving any trace."
"I'm just a supporting role, a relatively outstanding background."
"It's like a joke in a burlesque show that's revealed in two lines..."
Grand Duke Jonathan's tone was full of regret.
It's also like an afterthought after a profound enlightenment.
This is the true expression of feelings from an awakened Aboriginal person, and the topic Zong Shen opened just touched some of his emotions and feelings.
"Indeed, you have a new life."
"This is opportunity and destiny."
"But then again, maybe Your Excellency the Duke should thank me."
Zong Shen said with a smile.
These words also aroused the interest of Grand Duke Jonathan.
"oh?"
"Frustration makes people grow." Zong Shen did not answer seriously, but said vaguely.
After saying that, he lightly kicked Khamis's horse in the belly, causing it to accelerate towards the sentry.
Grand Duke Jonathan, who was temporarily left behind, was thoughtful.
This kind of thinking didn't last long. He quickly figured everything out and suddenly smiled.
He understood the subtext of Zong Shen's words.
The general idea is to say that if something hadn't happened in the giant city of Lentax, which would have triggered a series of situations that followed, Jonathan might not have been able to awaken.
“Frustration makes people grow?”
"interesting."
He murmured to himself, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.
However, my heart became colder and colder.
He became even more afraid of this outstanding one among the chosen ones.
But considering the current situation, he couldn't help but repeatedly warned himself that he must not offend Zong Shen at this stage.
Even if you are more courteous, even if you make more compromises...
Everything is for the future, for the future!
He is the awakened one, and this is the best capital!
After awakening, Grand Duke Jonathan's change of mind became more natural.
There is a kind of tenacity and patience that lasts for two generations.
This may also be another kind of "optimization" brought about by awakening.
The two came to the guard post one after the other, dismounted and entered the guard post.
The place had been cleared in advance and there was no one in the house.
There were two cups of steaming hot water on the table, proving that the sentry here had just left.
Without outsiders present, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Grand Duke Jonathan and Zong Shen sat across from each other, separated by a table made of simple wooden boards.
Two pairs of different eyes collided quietly.
The silence lasted for half a minute, and neither party spoke first.
They knew very well that this was different from the previous banquet and the chat on the way here.
It will involve a series of future decision-making changes for both parties.
The old god Zong Shen was always there, with a leisurely smile on his lips.
He's really not in a hurry.
What a rush.
In fact, Zong's strategy is very flexible.
Although expanding eastward is the best option, this does not mean that advancing to the center of Avalon is a completely unacceptable option.
In fact, if you go to the middle, you can find a way either north or south.
It's just that the risk is greater than the eastern plan.
After all, in terms of freedom, walking anywhere is not as free as walking to the sea.
But he can completely jump left and right and decide subsequent strategies based on changes in the scale of his power.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, Grand Duke Jonathan’s attitude at this time can only serve as a weathervane.
His calmness was not false, but Grand Duke Jonathan could not sit still.
Currently, his power is much larger than Zong Shen.
The same goes for all goals and ambitions considered.
The more worries you have, the more you have to worry about.
He knew that it was unwise to be an enemy of Zong Shen, and this was the premise for everything.
A few minutes passed, and finally it was Archduke Jonathan who spoke first.
"What are Mr. Rosen's plans for the future?"
"Maybe we can work together."
"The kingdom of Avalon is huge."
He said in a deep voice, seemingly asking, but in fact he was making an explicit statement.
When Zong Shen heard his words, the smile on his face became brighter.
"Yes, the Kingdom of Avalon is very big."
"The entire Endless Continent is a vast stage."
He answered casually and stretched out his right hand.
Grand Duke Jonathan immediately understood the meaning of his words, and raised his brows slightly, feeling quite happy.
Then he stretched out his hand and shook Zong Shen's hand, reaching a vague and simple consensus.
After retracting his arm, Zong Shen stopped holding it.
Instead, he chose to adjust his rhythm and get straight to the point.
"Since I have decided to cooperate, I will attack the territory of Grand Duke Chloé."
"Encroaching on areas to the east and southeast."
"Including the neutral nobles there."
Grand Duke Jonathan put away his smile and thought about it seriously.
The map of the Kingdom of Avalon comes to mind.
He immediately understood Zong Shen's intention and nodded immediately.
“Wise choice.”
"I am willing to help you, such as sending troops to pretend to attack Chloe and attract his attention."
But Zong Shen shook his head and calmly refused.
"I won't need your help in the short term."
"You can accomplish your goals."
"Our cooperation should be based more on the principle of mutual non-aggression."
At this point, Zong Shen has basically made it clear.
The general idea is that when he is messing with Chloe, Jonathan should not have any evil intentions.
And when Jonathan makes trouble, he won't stab him in the back.
The Grand Duke would naturally not refuse such a proposal.
He even wished that Zong Shen would attack Chloe, so that he could take advantage of the situation to integrate some forces in the area of influence and the fringe area, and also strengthen defense against that guy Hamfast.
This dormant and forbearing younger brother has greater power than he and Chloe.
"good."
The two sides looked at each other again and settled on their respective attitudes.
This consensus does not have any restrictive effect and can be reversed at any time.
The only check and balance is the interests of both parties.
But at least what is certain is that the possibility of the two sides attacking each other in the future is low.
But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
…
When Zong Shen left Archduke Jonathan's camp, it was already early morning the next day.
The weather today is not very good, with rain and wind blowing across the land.
Due to the regional light, the climate coverage here is also wider than that of the earth.
It often happens that the weather is the same for thousands of kilometers.
Khamis stepped on the green underworld fire and shuttled through the dark clouds.
Zong Shen's expression was calm, and he was reviewing the gains and losses in his mind.
There were some electric arcs flashing in the dark clouds below, but above the clouds there was no wind or rain.
Even though he always seemed very calm when meeting with Archduke Jonathan.
But during this wave of contact, he also quietly raised the threat rating of Archduke Jonathan.
Awakened Aboriginal people with a powerful base, coupled with the sober understanding of hindsight, may actually become a powerful competitor in the future.
But looking at the situation of the entire Kingdom of Avalon, one more Jonathan is not a lot, and one less Jonathan is not a lot.
What is worthy of caution is the control behind the scenes by the lord system.
After all, awakened people also enjoy privileges.
Although judging from the known information, the privileges of awakened people are not as good as those of lords.
But the awakened ones have the initial power after all.
This point alone puts 99.99...% of the lords at a loss.
Not to mention other lords, even Zong himself cannot compete with Grand Duke Jonathan in terms of scale of power and foundation.
The plan is finalized, let's take the open sword of Chloe first.
Of course, this does not mean that Zong Shen has to fight head-on from the beginning.
Although the awakened Grand Duke Jonathan is not easy to mess with, the unawakened Grand Duke Chloé is not a vegetarian either.
In terms of skill alone, he was originally much better than Jonathan.
Just because he has not awakened, his cognition is not as good as the current Jonathan.
But this is not because Zong Shen underestimated his strength.
According to the previous plan, Zong Shen will attack the giant city of Dagalisini and strive to capture it first.
As for the giant city of Dagalisini, he has reached an agreement with Grand Duke Chloé.
The other party will sit back and do nothing. He only needs to deal with the ruler of Dagallisni, Marquis Ekmeledin Clift.
Zong Shen thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it.
He focused part of his attention on the recent developments of Grand Duke Chloé.
Since you have decided to focus on collecting wool from Chloe, you must conduct information insight and collection in advance.
Observe his status in real time.
From the feedback information from the strategy module, Zong Shen found an interesting element.
That is, Archduke Chloé has recently become very interested in the goblins of Booty Bay.
This is also one of the reasons why the other party did not make a fuss about the giant city of Galisni.
Originally, the Clift family's will was somewhat unstable.
In addition, Grand Duke Kouyi also wanted to tentatively win over the mysterious force Zong Shen.
Although he didn't know Zong Shen's origins as clearly as Grand Duke Jonathan did, he also knew about the Chosen Son.
This matter is not a high-end secret among the aborigines.
Even Baron Bezos could find some clues by studying ancient books.
Not to mention the Duke of Chloe.
And the purpose of his attempt to win over Zong Shen was to deal with Jonathan.
Therefore, there is a logical closed loop here.
Zong Shen became a node between Jonathan and Chloe.
How to make good use of this identity is the key to the next development, and it is also the real key to whether he can rise strongly from the gap between the two Grand Dukes.
After checking the recent news about Grand Duke Chloé.
Zong Shen started to ask daily questions again, such as asking about the recent hostile targets within 100,000 kilometers of him.
Normally there won't be many tricks in such inquiries and screenings.
But today the strategy module pushed a hostile target with a very high threat level.
And it indicates that it is approaching the territory.
After repeated verification, Zong Shen quickly locked the target.
"The Bloody God of War?"
"It seems that they are here for the [Cross Blood Coffin]."
"Three slaves with legendary strength are nothing, but you have to be careful about them opening up space channels."
The advantage of information awareness allowed Zong Shen to regain his composure.
He knew the cause and effect of the matter, and naturally he also knew the Blood God of War.
The God of War from the Scarlet Crusade is said to have the power to kill gods, but is banned.
The key to unlocking the ban is [Cross Blood Coffin].
Zong Shen understood this, but he didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly.
After knowing what was going on, he took out the [Communication Crystal] to contact Mariel and quickly made defensive arrangements.
Turn on the global shield and be ready for space isolation at any time!
