Does the Western Region need an heir? This sentence made Jiawen confused for a long time.
Everyone knows that the hereditary system is the system that Reggie hates the most. He even said in public that he would hand over the Shattered Snow Kingdom to the best successor, and this successor may not be his child.
Now he wants Jarvan's children to inherit the entire Western Realm. Is this a change in temperament or a test of loyalty?
Jiawen did not dare to ask more questions, and Reggie did not say much. Faced with such a complicated situation in the Western Territory, Reggie had to adjust some of his ideas. If he is not careful in hiring people, the Guardian of the Western Territory may become a new wolf king.
Let Reggie's trade channel disappear in an instant.
Rather than taking huge risks in selecting people, it is better to choose the most loyal family to protect the Western Territory for generations. Although Reggie hates the hereditary system, and although there is a unique country like the White Tower Country, the hereditary system is the mainstream of this world after all.
Using hereditary system within a certain range is not necessarily a bad choice.
Jarvan's loyalty to Reggie is undoubted. The Gusta family may betray Snowbreaker one day, but that will happen several generations later and is beyond Reggie's consideration.
Reggie's team has gone a long way, and Iron Skull is still reluctant to say goodbye to Shattered Bones.
"This is a high-quality sheepskin that I bought from a shepherd. I don't have it as fresh as you. Give this to my wife."
This time it was Tie Shou's turn to explain his posthumous affairs.
"I really don't understand why the lord asked you to lead the expedition. Everyone knows that I am a better general than you."
"I should really break your other long tooth and see how you talk."
Broken Bones took out a bag of gold coins, handed it to Tie Shou and said, "You gave all the money to your woman, and you must learn to be kinder to yourself in the future."
"What's this? Do you pity me?"
"I just want you to help me buy some good things. There are a lot of new things on the west coast."
After several pushbacks, Iron Skull accepted the gold coin.
The convoy has gone far, Iron Skull must set off.
Broken Bones gave one final instruction: "No matter how much you respect the Demonic Orcs, never forget whose warrior you are. Even if you are unwilling to hurt him, you cannot betray our lord for him."
…
It took Reggie two full days to get out of the White Wolf King's grassland. When he arrived at the Scarface Wolf King's territory, the scene gradually changed.
In midsummer, the low weeds are green and yellow, at least 60% of the weeds are dead, and the ground is still exposed in some places.
The reason is very simple. The White Wolf King's territory is closer to the water source, and the most fertile pastures belong only to him. This is the gap in strength. On such a barren land, the Scarface Wolf King cannot have too many people, and his life is also difficult.
Not too rich.
But he showed rare generosity in front of Reggie. On the night of Reggie's arrival, he personally came to Reggie's territory and gave him generous gifts.
One thousand gold coins, four hundred sheepskins, one hundred jars of wine, and ten beautiful girls.
"Great Lord Victor, the people of Shakwan do not want to be enemies with you." The scar-faced wolf king's family is called Shakwan, and his correct name should be called Shakwan, the first generation wolf king, because he is an emerging aristocrat.
, just won the title of Wolf King ten years ago, so most people don't remember his family, they only remember the terrifying scar on his face.
The scar-faced wolf king is about fifty years old, and his strange face embodies God's mockery of human appearance. He has no hair or eyebrows, and his round head is shining with oily light.
His eyes are big and look like a tarsier from another world, his ears are also big, and his mouth is long, but his nose is very small, about the same size as an adult's thumb.
The iconic scar runs from the left eyebrow to the right jaw, making it feel as if his head has been cut open and then spliced together. Coupled with his low and hoarse voice, Reggie even
He is suspected to be a messenger from the Kingdom of Ugliness.
It's definitely wrong to judge people by their appearance, but it's not completely unreasonable to judge people by their appearance. When Reggie was still struggling with the other person's appearance, the Scarface Wolf King directly stated his purpose.
"Lord Victor, we don't want to fight with you. We are willing to meet all your requirements within the scope of what we can do."
"I want a piece of your land," Reggie said without any nonsense. He opened the map and directly circled the area, drawing a corridor that was twenty miles wide and more than a hundred miles long, running from east to west.
The reason why the width of twenty miles is required is because Reggie wants to build a city on this corridor. The territory of the Scarface Wolf King is not large, and the area of this passage accounts for at least one-sixth of his territory. Reggie
When I write, it's like I'm cutting flesh from his body.
"Shakwan's people have spent generations of blood in exchange for this barren land. I really can't..."
"I understand that the family fortune comes from hard work, and no one wants to hand it over to others." Reggie picked up the pen and thought for a moment. "Even you admit that your land is very barren. I am willing to give you a piece of land."
In exchange, you may suffer a little loss in terms of area, but the grassland there is more fertile than your territory."
Reggie drew a piece of land for Scarface Wolf King at the junction of the territory. The area is about two-thirds of the corridor. This land is close to the tributary of the Blackwater River. The amount of grass on the grassland is more than double that of the corridor.
.
"But the White Wolf King..."
"The White Wolf King will agree with my idea," Reggie smiled, "but I really want to know your wishes."
The scar-faced wolf king's expression was very complicated. Reggie thought he was crying at first, but later found out that he was smiling.
"Lord Victor, you are a generous man. The Shakwan clan is willing to be your forever friends. Please drink this glass of wine and let the God of the Grasslands witness our friendship."
"You should drink wine, but when it comes to witnessing," Reggie took out a deed. "Let's sign the deed after we complete the measurement of the land."
Things went much smoother than expected. Just as the White Wolf King expected, Reggie never saw the Scarface Wolf King's army. After completing the land delivery, Reggie continued to move westward. Maybe it would really be like
As the White Wolf King said, even if we reach the capital of Benlang Kingdom, there will be no more war.
Leaving the territory of the Scarface Wolf King, the drought situation continues to intensify, the grassland gradually disappears, exposing the desertified soil.
This is somewhat unreasonable. From a purely resource perspective, the location of the royal capital seems a bit awkward.
When they arrived near Tianlang City, Reggie finally understood what the White Wolf King meant. The capital of Benlang Kingdom was completely beyond Reggie's imagination.
