Chapter 1147 Penny's plan to sell the city 【Subscription】

Lancaster is not a big family in the Kingdom of Avalon.

The main sphere of influence is around the giant city of Lentax.

Henry Lancaster is the head of the main line of this generation.

There are also many members of the clan who are the rulers of those states under the jurisdiction of Jucheng.

There are also some family elites scattered throughout the kingdom, serving as city officials or military officers.

It can be said that the Marquess of Henry represents the future of the Lancaster family.

So for him, how to grow the family has become the highest mission.

If one day Lancaster can really become a duke family and own overseas territories, it will definitely be a big event comparable to "smoke from the ancestral grave".

However, Marquis Henry also took the risk when he said so.

Regardless of whether Princess Anna can successfully kidnap Prince Carter, the Lancaster family has no way out.

Doomed to be revenged by Grand Duke Jonathan!

At present, the division situation in the kingdom is still unclear.

Except for those giant cities that clearly stand in line, there are still many giant city-level units that are in a neutral state.

It not only retains the status of the kingdom's vassal city, but does not express its support for any princess or prince.

Of course, not all giant cities are eligible to choose neutrality.

These so-called neutral giant cities are often family forces or small groups.

Able to hug each other to keep warm, and frankly refuse to win over.

In troubled times, no matter which side you fall to, it is not difficult. What is really difficult is to be neutral.

The giant city of Lentax obviously does not have this qualification.

The giant city class is regarded as an absolute behemoth and the center of the area in the area.

But judging from the scale of the entire kingdom, the giant cities are just nodes.

Speaking of it, Marquis Henry is also very helpless, he naturally wants to rely on a stable "master".

However, Prince Carter was too unreliable, which made him feel uncertain.

Princess Anna has a much longer journey than Prince Carter, but she is too far away from the giant city of Lentax.

It just so happened that Lentax's position was between the two forces, and he was caught in an awkward position.

Therefore, there are really not many choices before Marquis Henry.

He did this with a lot of gambling elements.

But wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and there are risks everywhere in the chaotic world, but there are also opportunities everywhere.

Becoming the Marquess of Henry can completely change the fate of the family and enter a new stage.

If they lose, the Lancaster family will be doomed.

Although it will not be subject to a major cleansing, the giant city-level resident will definitely be lost.

The Lancaster family is not the only one facing choices in the Kingdom of Avalon. In fact, most of the nobles who stand in line will face the same risk.

After all, there is only one king of Avalon, but there are four princes and queens fighting for the king.

As long as one of them successfully ascends to the throne, the remaining three and their supporters will be severely hit, and nine out of ten will turn into a new round of war within the kingdom.

Thinking of this, Marquis Henry sighed leisurely.

"well…"

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

"My lord father."

"Are you in the study?"

Penny's gentle voice came into the house, and Marquis Henry winked at the waiter beside him, who immediately walked to the door and opened the rune door with protective effect.

After washing up, Penny walked into the house with small steps.

She wore a white dress today with pale pink lace.

Smelling the burning smell in the air, she knew that her father must have received the secret letter.

"Father, is it the letter from Princess Anna?"

The father and daughter often discuss this matter, so Penny didn't shy away from it, but asked frankly.

Marquis Henry nodded, and softly repeated the contents of the letter.

Immediately, he expressed his worries to Penny.

I saw Penny sitting on the chair brought by the waiter, her expression still calm and indifferent.

"My lord father."

"Now that the decision has been made, don't be half-hearted."

"Under the command of Grand Duke Jonathan, the closest to the giant city of Lentax is the giant city of Dabos."

"It's closer to the middle of the kingdom, and it's the famous gladiator city."

"The giant city under the control of Princess Anna is on the eastern coast, and it is almost connected together."

"When the continents are in turmoil, the oceans are the safest rear."

"That's why Princess Anna stepped up to build a new kingdom fleet."

"When this thing subsides, you can also look overseas."

"There are still many large islands and archipelagos in a deserted state offshore."

"The small number of salt people and islanders are nothing to worry about. After all, the ocean is far wider than the mainland."

Penny's voice was ethereal, and she talked about the future of the Lancaster family with ease.

And it's well-founded, obviously the result of careful consideration.

Her meaning is very simple, since the kingdom on land is about to fall into total turmoil.

Then the Lancaster family simply shifted their target as soon as possible and went to the sea to build a new city.

Use the population and resources accumulated in the giant city of Lentax to implement various welfare policies such as ocean reclamation.

Quickly establish a sea colony!

So from this point of view, relying on Princess Anna still has an advantage.

All-out wars in the history of Endless Continent often last for decades or even centuries.

It would be a wise choice to take advantage of this opportunity to leave.

Of course, the giant city of Lentax has been established for thousands of years, and it has gathered the painstaking efforts of the ancestors of the Lancaster family. It is really difficult to accept it if it is abandoned like this.

It would take a lot of money, labor and time to rebuild the towering towers of the three circles alone!

If you choose to develop overseas, then everything needs to start from scratch.

But after taking root overseas, it will be difficult for the war on the mainland to affect them.

After listening to Penny's words, Marquis Henry fell into a long silence.

His expression was tangled, and he was also thinking and fighting in his heart.

After a few minutes, he still shook his head.

"The giant city of Lentax was built bit by bit by our ancestors."

"Thousands of years ago, it was just a settlement, and it gradually became a state city."

"After hundreds of years of development, it finally has the background of a giant city."

"If you abandon this place, you will abandon the efforts of our ancestors!"

Unlike those little nobles, Marquis Henry is still very home-conscious.

He has a unique nostalgia for the giant city of Lentax, just like looking at his homeland.

Penny seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, and she showed a peaceful smile.

"The giant city of Lentax will not disappear just because people are gone."

"It's important that you make up your mind to start over."

"If we develop overseas, then Jucheng can be 'sold'."

As soon as these words came out, Marquis Henry was stunned.

He seemed to be unable to keep up with his precious little daughter's out-of-the-box thinking.

"Sell... sell?"

Penny nodded naturally, and explained softly.

"The giant city is really big."

"This is because there are a large number of residents in the giant city."

"After the population in the city increases, supporting farms and workshops are also essential."

"That makes a city more and more bloated."

"But the giant city of Lentax is a huge city with a sense of age."

"It's not the kind of open trade city that emerged later."

"There are not only three complete city towers in the city, but also complete sentry points and fortresses everywhere."

"It only needs a standard army of 1.5 million to 2 million to occupy all the defensive buildings in the giant city.

"Quickly transforming the giant city of Lentax into a war fortress."

"A fortress of this size can fully sustain a million-level battle."

"So the giant city of Lentax itself is also a kind of wealth and a precious resource."

Marquis Henry was stunned when he heard that, and was a little surprised when he looked at Penny with a calm expression.

There are roughly two types of cities in Endless Continent.

The first is the open trade type.

The advantage of this kind of city lies in its rapid development, short infrastructure construction period, and low construction cost.

The disadvantage is reflected in the lack of sufficient defensive buildings when war breaks out.

Trade cities are often located at the hubs of major regions, and are the intersections of the kingdom's straight roads in multiple directions.

With the help of geographical advantages and business development, the city took shape rapidly and was able to attract a large number of people to settle down in a short period of time.

The most well-informed in the Endless Continent are those traveling merchants, who are like dandelions scattered everywhere.

When a trade post is established, traveling merchants quickly spread the word.

This attracted a large number of refugees.

However, it is said that the development and construction of a trading city is fast, but it will take two to three hundred years.

This scale is already very short for the urban construction cycle of the endless continent.

The second type of city is the so-called fortress type.

This kind of city often builds tall and thick towers, and forts and sentry points are arranged at various nodes around it, and there are many sentry towers in the city.

Such huge cities are mostly found on the borders of kingdoms and in various important places.

In addition, most of the cities built one or two thousand years ago were also fortified.

This point is closely related to the background of the kingdom at that time.

You must know that the several great kingdoms of the human race have not always maintained harmony since their establishment.

Before one or two thousand years, kingdom disputes occurred from time to time.

Foreign cavalry regiments often even sneaked into the border, raiding thousands of miles to plunder cities.

Therefore, the cities established in that period, whether they were giant cities or state cities, would build fortifications and city walls.

Even settlements have to be set up to reject horses and wooden fences.

This situation can also be regarded as "characteristics of the times".

And the giant city of Lentax happened to be established during that period.

The oldest first circle in the city, which is also the earliest urban area.

After that, with the expansion and development of the city, the second circle and the third circle were gradually extended and towers were built.

In the past one or two hundred years, the third circle has been unable to accommodate it, so new suburbs have been opened up outside the third circle.

The expansion of the city is like annual rings, increasing and expanding layer by layer.

In the suburbs outside the third circle, there were no towers built.

Because the cost is too high, the closer to the periphery, the longer the perimeter of the city wall and the higher the construction cost.

This also proves the gradual change of the concept of modern urban construction.

Therefore, there are no towers on the outskirts of the giant city of Lentax, only a few forts dotted among them.

In addition, sentry points and roadblocks will be set up at various road passes, which can be regarded as a supplementary defense measure, but they are incomparable with the city towers full of security.

So what Penny said is right, the giant city of Lentax itself is a valuable asset!

Then a new question arises, to whom should Jucheng be sold?

And there is no precedent for this kind of thing in the kingdom.

How can anyone sell an entire city?

After thinking about it for a while, Marquis Henry asked a new question.

"It's a huge city."

"Who should I sell it to? And what price should I ask?"

"Could it be sold to Princess Anna?"

"But she will never buy it..."

"Because Princess Anna has not fully opened up the giant city of Lentax to all the cities along the eastern coast,"

Marquis Henry was rambling on, there were too many hidden problems.

Hearing these questions, Penny seemed to be prepared.

She smiled softly, then explained.

"You seem to have overlooked some circumstances."

"Except for the princes and princesses and the neutral faction in the current kingdom."

"There is still a hidden force."

Penny's words made Marquis Henry a little confused.

he asked subconsciously.

"What hidden power?"

"Royalists!"

"King Guther still has supporters working behind the scenes."

"In addition, Anne, the fifth princess, is missing. If we can find her, we can get some support."

"These are all hidden forces in the kingdom."

Penny was very organized, even surpassing the counselors around Henry Marquis.

But there are still many details to be ironed out.

"Penny, you mean to sell the giant city to the royalists?"

Henry still didn't understand the details.

But Penny shook her head.

"The premise of selling Jucheng is to complete the overseas layout first."

"At that time, just contact the forces that are interested in the giant city of Lentax to take over."

"But the crisis is looming."

"So you must make preparations in advance, send the first batch of overseas exploration groups, ask Princess Anna to provide the necessary help, and take the lead in exploring overseas bases."

"We can contact the royalist faction and the supporters of the five princesses, and secretly form a new cooperation force."

"Win Princess Anna and these hidden forces at the same time."

"This is how we can survive the anger of Duke Jonathan after the incident."

"Princess Anna alone doesn't provide much protection."

Now Marquis Henry was completely stunned.

In my impression, the youngest daughter who never cared about the affairs of the kingdom, now knows the situation inside Avalon like the back of her hand, and even designed a security plan to attract more forces into the game.

The reason is also very simple. Princess Anna alone may not be able to keep the Lancaster family, but if a few mysterious forces are added, the situation will be different.

The long-term plan is to move overseas.

Use the value of the giant city of Lentax to attract these forces to participate.

As long as there are enough people involved, even Duke Jonathan will have to weigh it,

This plan was too avant-garde and bold, which made Earl Henry doubtful!
