Chapter 384: Territory Status(1/2)
Chapter 384: Recent Territory Situation
When the reminiscence was over, Afura and the others saw the warriors of the legions of the clans behind Zhao Feng. When they saw these orc elves goblins, they showed a look of surprise.
“What are these?”
Seeing the worried look on their faces, Zhao Feng said: "Don't worry, this is my friends. Next, they will also become part of the territory."
"Okay, welcome."
Hearing his words, Aphra nodded slightly to the warriors of various tribes, and then said to Zawuli: "Dad, hurry up and share some of the food we brought. I think you have worked hard all the way. In front, we have prepared several roasted lambs."
Seeing Aphra's performance, Zhao Feng could see that she seemed to have become the leader of this desert territory, very prestigious.
Even her father, Zaulli was convinced when she heard her give orders. As for the others, they also followed Alfra.
It seems that in the past two years, the young girl has begun to undertake heavier tasks.
When Aphra and his friends handed over the food and fresh drinking water, the original vigilance on the faces of these warriors of various tribes disappeared.
They found that these humans were different from what they imagined, very kind and did not discriminate against them.
"Thank you, thank you."
Although Avra and the others didn't understand orc language very well, they knew that these warriors of all races were thanking them. Seeing this scene, they also let go of their worries.
In the past few hundred years, there have been basically no other races on the mainland. At that time, the war between humans and various races caused many stories to spread on the mainland.
There are still some barriers between humans and other races.
However, after the scene just now, it can be seen that their vigilance is lowered and they are no longer so nervous. Because they found that they are still easy to get along with each other.
"This is Olic, one of the three gods, and the dean of the Imperial Capital Magic Academy." As he said that, Zhao Feng introduced the people around him to the people in the desert territory.
"This is Dankun, one of the three great war gods."
When Dankun introduced these two people, Afura and the others showed a look of respect and respectfully saluted the two people.
"If President Gordon heard this news, he would be very happy." At this time, Aphra said happily: "The people in our holy city are very curious about these three gods and the three great war gods, and plan to invite them to write books so that future generations can understand their thoughts."
Since the Holy City solved the three major problems, it has gradually become prosperous.
As the dean, Gordon is eager to be talented and attaches great importance to education and recruits talents, encourages more fresh blood to join the Holy City, so that they can enrich their learning skills and devote themselves to the construction of desert territory.
The most meaningful thing they do is to invite all the famous and talented people to write books and write, and want to record these knowledge so that they can be passed on.
"Not bad, a very good idea. I think Dankun and Olic are very willing to do this!" At this time, Zhao Feng said to the two people with a smile.
Olic smiled and nodded, "I'm happy to do this."
However, Dankun shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am a rough man, how could I say to Shuli? If you want me like this, it would be better to kill me."
Aphra replied with a smile: "Don't worry, our Holy City has a dedicated recorder. As long as you tell me your experience, they will help you organize a book."
"Is that so? It's almost the same, then that's it!" Dankun stopped saying anything when he heard the news.
At this time, Afura pointed to the two beautiful girls beside Zhao Feng and said, "Lord, this is probably the confidante you met outside, right?"
When talking about this, Alfra also had a hint of jealousy on her face.
Zhao Feng didn't care about this. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Wrong, this is His Royal Highness Elaine Hazel, the other one is..."
When he heard Zhao Feng telling him about his identity, Alice said first: "I am Alice, the master's personal slave. I'm very happy to see you, Alfra."
"Princess of the Empire?" After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Avra and Zauri and others' attitude towards Elaine Hazel suddenly became much worse, and they didn't even say hello.
From their eyes, there was a strong hostility.
"Are you the lord's personal slave? You didn't deceive him, you didn't expect that he would be really lucky." On the contrary, Aphra became more enthusiastic about Alice.
Elaine Hazel has always been a proud person. Although she doesn't care about the status of the princess, she attaches great importance to the dignity of the royal family.
Looking at the people dressed in the desert tribe, they actually ignored the authority of her princess, and Elaine Hazel showed a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"Why don't you, the untouchables, see this princess?"
Angry, she asked loudly at Aphra and the people behind her, "Don't you know how to abide by the noble etiquette?"
Hearing her words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Both Zauri and the cavalry team behind him were glaring at Elaine Hazel. Even Zhao Feng frowned and looked at Elaine Hazel with dissatisfaction.
"In my territory, there are no untouchables, nor princesses. To me, these people are my friends and my brothers."
Zhao Feng said word by word: "Respecting them is equivalent to respecting me."
Elaine Hazel wanted to get angry, but when she saw Zhao Feng's serious appearance, she knew that he was really angry. When she heard this, she said weakly: "But they have prejudice against me. Why do I just met them? They seem to have a grudge against me!"
Elaine Hazel felt very wronged about Alfra and the others' attitude. In fact, she didn't want to put on any princess airs at all, but she just felt a little unbalanced.
Seeing Elaine Hazel's aggrieved look, Zhao Feng said to Afura: "What's going on?"
From Aphra and historians' attitude, it can be seen that these desert tribes had a lot of dissatisfaction and anger towards the Mondra royal family, and they almost reached the point of hatred.
"You don't know, Lord Lord. When you were not here in the past two years, the group of vampires in Mondra often had to borrow money from us, borrow food, and often collect heavy taxes, and even deduct our goods for military expenses."
At this time, Zhawuli, who was straightforward, said: "And they often come to harass us, always thinking of our glass workshop. If it weren't for the concern that the master was the Imperial Marshal, I would have probably taken the initiative to seize the desert territory. We have been patient for the past two years, so nothing big happened. But to be honest, we were full of anger in our hearts, waiting for you to come back to help us out."
Aphra said, "In the past two years, the royal family has done too much, which makes us very uncomfortable. Roland III even wants our desert territory to become a district of the empire again. He told us that you and the princess are in love, just waiting for him to nod. At that time, he promised to marry the princess to you, and you will dedicate the desert territory to the king. He said that when you and the royal family become a family, you will not be separated from each other. At that time, you will become his son-in-law and have the right to inherit the kingdom, and you can assist his daughter and make her a new king. And you will be the prince of the empire, and you will be in charge of the military and political power of the country, so you will not care about this small territory."
After hearing their words, Zhao Feng seemed to foresee that the empire had a very stalemate with the desert territory for military expenditure in the past two years.
In the past two years, Zhao Feng was not in the desert territory, and Jerry Evans has been fighting for years. There is basically no important leader in the entire desert territory.
It is actually very normal for Roland III, who is trapped in the quagmire of war, to withdraw some money from the desert territory that has been making money continuously for war or other purposes.
But in the eyes of Aphra and the Desert Tribe and others, this is the naked plunder and robbery, which is not a legitimate act at all.
The desert territory has gone from nothing to something, from its initial desolation to its later prosperity, the Mondra Empire did not help much, and even collected a lot of taxes.
Every step of the development of this intermediate territory is infused with the hard work of these desert tribes and the far-sighted wisdom of the lord Zhao Feng.
Now, with the absence of the lord Zhao Feng, Roland III, wants to regain this land that has begun to flourish and seize the fruits of victory.
This is unacceptable to the people of the desert tribe.
"I understand. Don't worry, I won't leave you behind." Zhao Feng said: "Even the position of the Prince of the Empire, it cannot be exchanged for desert territory. I will be with you forever."
At this time, Zhao Feng said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the desert territory will belong to you, not to others."
Zhao Feng also guessed some of Roland III's despicable thoughts. He wanted to win over himself through marriage and tie himself to his warship.
Elaine Hazel is a bargaining chip, and his desert territory and himself are also a bargaining chip.
In his opinion, such huge chips should be enough to make Zhao Feng excited. However, Zhao Feng disdained the position of a prince of the empire at all.
In Zhao Feng's opinion, this is too ridiculous.
Now he even has the strength to win the entire continent, like a small prince of the Mondra Empire, how can he satisfy his ideas!
Elaine Hazel finally understood why they were so bad about themselves. It turned out that they regarded themselves as a bargaining chip for Roland III.
Thinking of Roland III's promise to marry Zhao Feng without even discussing with him, she felt extremely disappointed.
"Don't worry, I won't be a bargaining chip. Even if I marry Dark Evans, I won't ask for anything." Elaine Hazel said to Alfra: "I am me. No matter who I marry, I will be the identity of Elaine Hazel, not the identity of the Imperial Princess."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go eat roasted lamb quickly. If you continue to say this, the roasted lamb will be burnt." Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Dankun said quickly.
Zhao Feng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go eat roasted lamb!"
As he said that, he pulled Elaine Hazel, who had red eyes and said, "After going back this time, you have to continue barbecuing for me. Last time, I had your palace barbecue, but I still remember it fresh!"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Elaine Hazel remembered the days when she was with Zhao Feng for the first time, and her heart felt warm and nodded, "Okay, I'll show off my skills then!"
Alice heard Zhao Feng's words and said, "This time, I have to show you my skills, Master!"
Alice showed a hint of jealousy about Zhao Feng's praise of Elaine Hazel's barbecue skills, and said at the first time that she had to show it.
"Okay, I'll eat what you baked at that time, okay!"
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he said to Afura: "Okay, there is still some time left. Let's talk to me about the development of the desert territory in the past two years!"
Through her performance just now, Zhao Feng knew that although Aphra was not the nominal leader of the desert territory, she was now exercising the responsibilities of the leader.
"Hmph, you lord is so irresponsible. You run around all day long, but it turns out that I, a child laborer, will work hard for you every day!"
Afura was full of complaints about Zhao Feng running around every day and complained: "How do you compensate me?"
"Okay, it's all my fault." Zhao Feng said: "You can make any compensation if you want. Otherwise, I will grant you the title of the leader of the desert territory and let you manage this territory?"
"This is your territory, not mine." Aphra shook his head and said, "Besides, if I keep going like this, my lifelong affairs will be delayed. People say, I am your housekeeper."
When she mentioned this, Alfra couldn't help but feel a hint of shyness on her face.
"How old are you, just thinking about lifelong affairs!" Zhao Feng really couldn't understand Afura's words.
Aphra said: "I am fifteen this year. Many girls as old as me have gotten married and had children. I am already an old girl in the tribe."
"It's too...exaggerated!"
However, remembering that the Desert Tribe did get married very early, Zhao Feng could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Okay, if your lifelong affairs are delayed, I will be responsible for helping you find a good husband, okay!"
"What kind of thing is perfect? I want you to be my husband. Are you willing?" Aphra stared at Zhao Feng and directly raised a hot question.
Most of the women in the desert tribe dared to love and hate, and spoke straightforwardly. Afura had a good impression of Zhao Feng, and at this time she directly expressed her thoughts.
