"As far as I know, a year ago, your territory was still a barren grassland."
"It is adjacent to the Bone Burial Ground, and there are often powerful undead wandering there, so it is not suitable as a settlement."
"And compared to other places in the area, the location there is not too advantageous."
"I wonder how you were able to initially build a giant city-level settlement in one year?"
Marquis Ekmeledin had a stern look on his face, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.
This made Zong Shen a little curious, but he didn't expect that he would actually play his cards right.
The changes there cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who care.
Let alone the emergence of a giant city-level settlement within a year, even if the time is increased hundreds of times, this is an unimaginable thing for the indigenous people.
Zong Shen estimated that Marquis Ekmeledin must have guessed something.
This is not surprising.
After all, he is also a ruler at the level of a giant city, so it is normal for him to know something about the Chosen One.
And judging from Ekmeledin's reaction, this guy is actually not the coward he is rumored to be.
He's just a little too cautious.
No real coward can lead a team with such strict rules and regulations.
The garrison of Dagarisni was superior to the garrison of Rentax in terms of discipline alone.
As the saying goes, if a soldier is frightened by one, he will frighten the whole group.
If Ekhmeledin is really a fool, even if he has good officers under his command, it will be difficult to lead such an army.
In addition, the construction and planning of Dagalisini is actually not bad.
What really separates him from Lentax is his background and size.
Facts have proven that the Marquis of Eckmeledin in front of him is a qualified ruler.
This seemingly casual inquiry was the first card he played.
It also made someone in Zong put away his contempt.
He replied with a smile.
"Indeed, it actually took less than a year to build my territory."
Since the other party has played his cards right, there is no need for him to be secretive.
It now appears that the lord system allows limited exchange of inside information.
Especially lords like Zong Shen, who are ahead of the curve, enjoy a certain degree of "right to leak secrets."
Such a frank answer surprised Marquis Ekmeledin.
Only the officers around him were still a little confused.
"Create a giant city-level territory in one year?"
"How is this possible?"
"Could it be that the information is wrong?"
The military commander sitting on the right side of the Marquis couldn't help but speak.
He wears Avalon's officer armor and possesses golden epic quality.
In Zong Shen's eyes, that bright aura looked a bit coquettish.
Some special effects can only be seen by the lord.
This is also a change brought about by semi-digitization.
Regarding the words of the military chief, Zong Shen just smiled and said nothing.
He could see that there was also a big difference between the aborigines and the aborigines.
Some are able to discern secrets and even awaken like Grand Duke Jonathan.
And some aborigines are destined to play supporting roles in this life.
In comparison, joining a territory has become a shortcut.
At the very least, it is an opportunity to say goodbye to the confusion.
Marquis Ekmeledin took a deep look at Zong Shen, lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
When he raised his head with a thoughtful expression, he happened to meet Zong Shen's smiling but silent gaze.
"I see."
"The legend is true, the ancient rumors are true..."
"Guys, please leave first. I have something to discuss with the lord alone."
"Hisham, you stay."
The Marquis asked all the officers to leave.
He seemed to understand something.
What Zong Shen said before made him think about something.
Several chief officers were a little confused.
He just got up and left in confusion.
Hisham did not sit down, but stood behind the Marquis with a very complicated expression.
When everyone left and the heavy door of the living room was closed again, Marquis Ekmeledin said seriously.
"Does the Chosen One involve the change of eras?"
"The reign of the Pendragon dynasty is coming to an end?"
These two questions made Zong Shen raise his eyebrows.
Since he has not been silenced, is it possible that Marquis Ecmeledin will also become an awakener?
"Where did you learn about the Chosen One and the Change of Era?"
Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and asked bluntly.
This question was unexpected by the Marquis, and he answered slowly.
"books."
"Similar concepts are mentioned in some ancient books."
"Although most books mention this briefly, and the relevant content is very vague, I can vaguely see some content."
"There is also some relevant information from old bachelor Cole. He is a retired bachelor from the city. He spent the rest of his life studying the history of the mainland."
No moji, the Marquis said frankly.
He is trying to show kindness to Zong Shen.
Openness and honesty are often the first step in friendly communication.
It just so happens that Zong Shen is a person who takes soft things rather than hard words, which makes him unable to say those tough words.
"interesting."
"So do you know the purpose of my coming here?"
He spread his hands, stretched his arms, and laid them flat on the table.
Hearing this, Marquis Ekmeledin looked at his hands and said.
"Peace or conquest."
"It seems you are a smart man."
"And what are your options?"
Zong Shen smiled and simply stopped pretending.
But he saw Marquis Ekmeledin smiling back.
"My choice depends on your choice."
This answer is very interesting.
It can be seen that the Marquis must have prepared some means to deal with Zong Shen.
Because he seemed very confident when he said these words.
"The future is right in front of you."
"Now that you know about the change of dimensions, you should understand that this is the general trend."
"As you can see, my territory has already reached the size of a giant city, and it only took a few months."
Zong Shen stood up and walked to the window. He opened the window and looked into the sky.
His voice is calm and deep.
The meaning of the words is also very clear, a huge city can be built in a few months.
So given time, the mere Dagalisini will be nothing more than an insect in front of Zong Shen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is very arrogant, but it is an indisputable fact.
"Dagalisni was founded by my ancestors."
"This is the home of the Clift family."
"Except for the Pendragon royal family, the ancestors of the Clift family did not owe allegiance to anyone."
"I have reason to hope that it will continue to be independent and autonomous."
The feudal model of Endless Continent is similar to that of ancient Europe on Earth.
It is also a feudal system based on land autonomy.
For more than two thousand years, the Clift family has been the masters of this area.
So what Marquis Ekmeledin said was considered a refusal.
However, he didn't say it to death, and he still left a certain amount of room.
It can be seen that he is still very afraid of Zong Shen, even a little humble.
You must know that a giant city controls tens of millions of people. As the ruler of a giant city, Marquis Ekmeleddin is definitely a Turkish emperor.
But when facing Zong Shen, he had to be cautious.
"A reasonable request."
"Joining my side does not mean that the Clift family will lose this city."
"On the contrary, it may mean that your family has ushered in a new future."
"As long as you are willing to join my camp, I promise to keep Dagalisni autonomous, provided that you and all the chief officers must swear allegiance to me."
"At the same time, at least half of the giant city garrison must be drawn out to reorganize with my soldiers."
Zong Shen said calmly.
He really doesn't mind if Dagalisny remains autonomous.
Anyway, there is a loyalty system. As long as the other party is willing to swear an oath, it will be affected by loyalty.
By then, this place will still become part of his power matrix.
If Marquis Ekmeledin cannot even agree to this request, then Zong Shen is not prepared to continue the negotiation.
I saw the Marquis looking thoughtful, with a tangled look on his face.
After a long time, he raised his head with difficulty.
"I…"
"I'm sorry I can't do it!"
He spoke in a low voice, and immediately became firm.
"It's so easy to say."
"It seems that the Marquis has made a decision."
Zong Shen slowly turned around.
The eyes of the two collided in the electric light.
There was a hint of hostility.
Before he could take action, the surrounding space fluctuated violently.
Every inch of space as far as the eye can see is rippled.
For an instant, it felt like being in an inverted lake.
There is a feeling of dizziness.
But this is actually a side effect of spatial movement.
Zong Shen has extremely strong mental resistance, and the dizziness is only fleeting.
However, the surrounding space has quietly changed.
From the spacious and bright conference room to a dark and damp dungeon.
The only ones affected were Colby and Zong Shen.
It seems that Marquis Ekmeledin also had some ideas in sending away those chief officials.
Zong Shen twisted his neck, but he didn't panic at all when something happened happened.
"What a funny guy."
"Hide your backhand under sincerity."
"The sincerity he showed is true, and his backhand is even more true."
"It's just that I still lack some patience after all."
Zong Shen whispered to himself, and Colby took out his weapon with his backhand.
The scimitar flashing with totem light and shadow is particularly sharp.
But someone in the clan did not take out the [Moon Wolf Fang], but replaced it with the [Egri Thunder Sword (2nd Level of Shining Light Level)] which he had recently obtained.
Electric arcs flickered on the surface of the sword.
All the arc lights are jumping for joy.
He knew that Marquis Ecmeledin was observing them.
Holding the sword in hand, Zong Shen's eyes turned cold.
Activate [Egli Thunder Incarnation]!
Immediately, he was surrounded by phantoms of thunder and lightning.
A huge and ferocious thunder and lightning shadow appeared in front of him.
Make him look like the God of Thunder has descended.
This is the transformation skill that comes with the sword.
It can condense the power of thunder and lightning to summon the incarnation of thunder.
The avatar has 100,000 thunder points, and each point of thunder points can replace 2 points of health.
When attacked, thunder and lightning will be cast on 3 random enemy targets around, causing magic damage ranging from 150 to 500 points.
In the thunder incarnation state, you are immune to related types of magic below level eight.
At the same time, the thunder value can be restored by natural thunder and lightning elemental magic. While this state is maintained, the thunder value will be automatically reduced by 100 points every second, and the cooling time is 12 hours after the incarnation ends.
The battle sword in his hand was also covered in lightning and looked extremely huge.
"Colby, stand by and let me come."
Zong Shen hasn't made a good move for a while, and his hands are a bit itchy.
And it just so happened that he also planned to try out the power of these new equipment he had recently obtained.
Combat is the best way to test equipment.
Zong Shen deeply believed in this.
After entering the thunder incarnation state, he waved the light and shadow sword in his hand.
Countless lightning arcs converged into an awl, piercing straight into the light shield of the dungeon in front of them.
The isolation here looks very solid, and it also has durability from Zong Shen's perspective.
The solidity value of three million points is very eye-catching.
A cage of this level is considered worthy of someone from his sect.
Normal legends have to fight for a while.
I saw that the thunder cone was inserted hard into the light mask, causing the light mask to sway.
Then a wave of damage value of 150,000 points appeared.
This incarnation of thunder is also very powerful when it is knocked down casually.
Comparable to the eighth-level single-target lightning method.
Such an attack is considered super powerful for the same level.
After all, the lightning attack is really powerful.
"good."
"In this case, why not do it twenty more times?"
Zong Shen looked at Colby and said in a relaxed tone.
This indifference was in sharp contrast to his ferocious image under the incarnation of thunder.
He has played against the legend more than once.
For example, low-level and mid-level legends can do tens of thousands of damage with their moves, which is pretty good.
Getting to 100,000 points is a hurdle.
But Zong Shen can be played as a flat A.
And this is nothing, he is purely testing his weapon skills.
If it were replaced by [Moon Wolf Fang], with arc light 1.2 times the power of flat slashing, he could deal hundreds of thousands of damage. He would be invincible as a demigod, and even as a demigod, he could use any means to exchange for 0 for 1.
Colby smiled gently.
What this prairie man shows most often is his gentlest smile.
The thunder cone in Zong Shen's hand kept hitting out, and soon the durability of the light shield was reduced to half.
There is a health bar, what can't be broken?
Zong Shen sneered at this kind of confinement method.
But obviously the Marquis would not try to trap him so easily.
There is still a backup plan.
I saw that the whole cell suddenly became dark.
A familiar scene appeared, and the space in the cell melted like water.
They swarmed in, squeezing and wrapping Zong Shen, making him unable to move at all.
"Things are getting more and more fun."
This method is a combination of high-level water system and space system.
And the integration is quite clever, it can be said that the space is treated as water flow.
So varied, so everywhere.
The squeezing sensation comes not only from the water, but also from the space itself exerting pressure.
His body was restrained, causing his attack to stop abruptly.
In another small adjacent space, Marquis Ekmeledin, who had witnessed the whole scene, breathed a sigh of relief. Next to him stood a short spellcaster wearing a patchwork robe.
This spellcaster is only about 1.4 meters tall, not much taller than dwarves and goblins.
The knot of the staff in his hand cracked.
Through the shadow of the hood, a drop of sweat could be seen sliding down the pale side face.
"Sir, the opponent's strength is too strong, [Kong Shuiyuan] will not last long!"
The labored neutral voice sounded, proving that Zong was not easy to restrain!
