Chapter 1482 Preliminary Consensus, Leaving [Subscription Required]

Zong Shen nodded slightly.

I saw Grand Duke Jonathan call his men and bring a thin piece of fine gold.

There were many runes and lines engraved on it, and magic was flowing.

There were soul gems in the four corners.

He took the strange fine gold and turned to explain to Zong Shen.

"This is a memory gold piece, a magical item for information storage."

"It stores a detailed list of this group of people and soldiers."

"It covers basic information such as place of origin and age."

"The memory gold piece can produce some resonance with the identity card carried by each person, which is convenient for verification and reorganization."

"Those identity cards are all left with soul fluctuation information in advance."

As the Grand Duke spoke, he pulled the horse and paced and turned around to Zong Shen's side.

The military horse was tall and majestic, but it was still shorter than Hamis, the Dark Nightmare of Hell.

And although the alien horses like Thunder Pegasus were as big as Hamis, they were not easy to control.

Relying on the points enhancement, Grand Duke Jonathan's strength has been rising steadily recently, but there is still a long way to go to the legendary level.

The originally face-saving Grand Duke did not seem to care about such a gap.

He calmly handed the memory gold piece in his hand to Zong Shen.

In response, Zong did not say much, just nodded and took it.

After seeing the changes in Grand Duke Jonathan, Zong Shen also put away his previous contempt in his heart.

He officially regarded him as a qualified opponent.

Since the other party fully cooperated, there was no need for him to do any messy operations. He just had to honestly accept this group of people according to the contract signed by both parties.

After the expansion of [Dimensional Rubik's Cube Parts·V (Unknown)], the small world inside [Dimensional Seed (Special)] has become much larger.

It is not a problem to accommodate these people.

After a brief inspection of the memory gold piece, Zong Shen began to accept the population in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the sky was dark, and there were many braziers around the temporary shelter.

The horn of the emergency assembly was blown.

Zong Shen chose to be the first to receive the more than one million troops, including thousands of spellcasters.

With the strategy module verification, it saved the tedious and detailed inspection that should have been done.

He left Rexxar and Gugat on the scene to open up the small dimension world to accommodate the population and then left.

Together with Grand Duke Jonathan, he went to the military sentry not far from the resettlement site to rest.

By the way, some follow-up issues were discussed.

Zong Shen's efficient style impressed Grand Duke Jonathan.

Both parties rode forward together, and tacitly did not bring their men.

"The change of His Excellency the Duke is really impressive."

"Thinking back to 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 heroically.

When the laughter disappeared, the Grand Duke's deep explanation came over.

"After so many years of being in a daze, I finally know some truth."

"The things I pursued before are just bubbles in the sun, and they will not leave any traces after disappearing suddenly."

"I am just a supporting role, a relatively outstanding background board."

"It's like the joke in a farce that was revealed by two lines of drama..."

The tone of Grand Duke Jonathan was full of sighs.

It was like a kind of aftertaste after enlightenment.

This was the true feelings of the awakened aboriginals, and the topic opened by Zong Shen just happened to hit some of his emotions and feelings.

"Indeed, you have a brand new life."

"This is an opportunity and also fate."

"But then again, maybe Your Excellency the Duke should thank me."

Zong Shen said with a smile.

This speech also aroused the interest of Grand Duke Jonathan.

"Oh?"

"Setbacks make people grow." Zong Shen did not answer seriously, but just said vaguely.

After that, he lightly kicked Hamis's horse belly, making it speed up towards the sentry.

Grand Duke Jonathan, who was temporarily left behind, was thoughtful.

This kind of thinking did not last too long. He soon figured everything out and smiled suddenly.

He understood the subtext of Zong Shen's words.

The general idea was that if the incident in the giant city of Luntax had not occurred, which triggered a series of situations later, Jonathan would probably not have been able to awaken.

"Setbacks make people grow?"

"Interesting."

He murmured to himself, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

However, his heart became colder.

He had a more serious fear of this outstanding son of the chosen one.

But considering the current situation, he could not help but repeatedly warn himself that he must not offend Zong Shen at this stage.

Even if he made further concessions, even if he made more compromises...

Everything is for the future, for the future!

He is an awakener, and this is the best capital!

After awakening, Grand Duke Jonathan's mental transformation became more and more natural.

There is a kind of tenacity and patience of being a human being in two lives.

This may also be another kind of "optimization" brought by awakening.

The two men came to the sentry post one after another, dismounted and entered the sentry 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 sentinels here had just left.

Without outsiders present, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Grand Duke Jonathan and Zong Shen sat opposite each other, separated by a table made of simple wooden boards.

The two different pairs of eyes collided quietly.

The silence lasted for half a minute, and neither side spoke first.

They knew very well that this was different from the previous banquet and the casual chat on the way here.

It will involve a series of decision-making changes for both sides in the future.

Zong Shen was calm and composed, with a leisurely smile on his lips.

He was indeed not in a hurry.

What a hurry.

In fact, Zong's strategy is very flexible.

Although expanding eastward is the best option, it does not mean that advancing to the central part of Avalon is a completely unacceptable option.

In fact, if you go to the central part, you can then make a way to the north or south.

It's just that the risk is greater than the eastern option.

After all, in terms of freedom alone, going anywhere is not as free as going to the sea.

But he can jump left and right and decide the subsequent strategy according to the changes in the scale of power.

Therefore, Grand Duke Jonathan's attitude at this time can only serve as a weather vane.

His calmness is not false, but Grand Duke Jonathan is a little restless.

His current scale of power is much larger than Zong Shen's.

The same is true for all the goals and ambitions considered.

The more concerns you have, the more you worry about.

He knew that it was unwise to be an enemy of Zong Shen, and this was the premise for everything.

After a few minutes, Grand Duke Jonathan finally spoke first.

"What are your plans for the future, Mr. Rosen?"

"We may be able to cooperate."

"The Kingdom of Avalon is very big."

He said in a deep voice, seemingly asking, but actually making a clear 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 at the same time stretched out his right hand.

Grand Duke Jonathan instantly understood the meaning of his words, and his eyebrows raised slightly, feeling quite happy.

Then he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zong Shen, reaching a vague and simple consensus.

After retracting his arm, Zong Shen did not continue to hold it.

Instead, he chose to adjust the rhythm and speak straight to the point.

"Since we have decided to cooperate, I will start with Grand Duke Chloe's territory."

"Erode the eastern and southeastern regions."

"Including the neutral nobles there."

Grand Duke Jonathan put away his smile and pondered seriously.

The map of the Kingdom of Avalon appeared in his mind.

Instantly, he understood Zong Shen's intention and nodded immediately.

"A wise choice."

"I am willing to help you, such as sending troops to feint an attack on Chloe to attract his attention."

But Zong Shen shook his head and calmly refused.

"Your Excellency's help should not be needed in the short term."

"You can achieve your own goals."

"Our cooperation should be based more on the principle of non-aggression."

At this point, Zong Shen has basically made it clear.

The general idea is that when he is dealing with Chloe, Jonathan should not have any crooked thoughts.

And when Jonathan is dealing with things, he will not stab him in the back.

The Grand Duke will naturally not refuse such a proposal.

He even hoped that Zong Shen would attack Chloe, so that he could take advantage of the situation to integrate some of the power zones and marginal zones, and strengthen his defense against Hamfast.

This dormant and patient prince has more power than him and Chloe.

"Okay."

The two sides looked at each other again and decided on their respective attitudes.

This consensus does not have any restrictive effect and can be reneged at any time.

The only balance point is the interests of both sides.

But at least it is certain that the possibility of the two sides attacking each other in the future is low.

But who can say for sure about the future?

...

When Zong Shen left the camp of Grand Duke Jonathan, it was already early morning of the next day.

The weather today was not very good, with rain and wind blowing across the land.

Due to the regional light, the climate here covers a wider range than the earth.

There are often situations where the weather is the same within thousands of kilometers.

Hamis stepped on the dark green fire and shuttled through the dark clouds.

Zong Shen's expression was calm, and he reviewed the gains and losses in his heart.

There were arcs of electricity flashing in the dark clouds below, and there was no wind or rain above the clouds.

Although he seemed calm when meeting with Grand Duke Jonathan,

he also quietly raised Grand Duke Jonathan's threat rating during this wave of contact.

The indigenous awakeners with a power base, coupled with the sober cognition of late realization, may really become a powerful competitor in the future.

But looking at the situation of the entire Kingdom of Avalon, one more Jonathan is not much, and one less Jonathan is not much.

What is worth being vigilant about is the regulation of the lord system behind the scenes.

After all, the awakeners also enjoy privileges.

Although from the known information, the privileges of the awakeners are not as good as the lords.

But the awakeners have the initial power after all.

This alone makes 99.99...% of the lords unable to flatter.

Let alone other lords, even Zong himself cannot compete with Grand Duke Jonathan in terms of power scale and foundation.

The plan is finalized, and Chloe is the first to show off.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zong Shen has to face him head-on from the beginning.

The awakened Grand Duke Jonathan is certainly not easy to mess with, but the unawakened Grand Duke Chloe is not a pushover either.

In terms of skills, he was much stronger than Jonathan.

It's just that he hasn't awakened yet, so his cognition is not as good as Jonathan's now.

But this is not that Zong Shen underestimates his power.

According to the previous plan, Zong Shen will start with the Dagalisni Giant City and strive to take it first.

As for the Dagalisni Giant City, he has reached an agreement with Grand Duke Chloe.

The other party will sit back and do nothing, and he just needs to deal with the ruler of Dagalisni, Marquis Ekmeledin Clift.

Zong Shen thought for a while and stopped thinking about it.

He focused part of his attention on Grand Duke Chloe's recent dynamics.

Since he decided to focus on Chloe's wool, he must gain insight and collect information in advance.

Observe his status in real time.

From the information fed back by the strategy module, Zong Shen found an interesting factor.

That is, Grand Duke Chloe has recently developed a strong interest in the goblins in Treasure Bay.

This is also one of the reasons why the other party did not make a fuss about the Dagalisni Giant City.

The will of the Clift family was somewhat unsteady.

In addition, Grand Duke Chloe also wanted to try to win over the mysterious force of Zong Shen.

Although he did not know Zong Shen's origin as well as Grand Duke Jonathan, he also knew about the Chosen Son.

This matter was not a very high-end secret among the indigenous people.

Even Baron Bezos could find some clues by studying ancient books.

Not to mention Duke Chloe.

And his purpose of trying 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 dynamics of Grand Duke Chloe.

Zong Shen started his daily inquiries again, such as asking about the hostile targets that are close to him within 100,000 kilometers.

Usually, there would not be too many tricks in such inquiries and screening.

But today the strategy module pushed out a hostile target with a very high threat level.

And the prompt is approaching the territory.

After repeated verification, Zong Shen quickly locked the target.

"Blood God of War?"

"It seems that he came for the [Cross Blood Coffin]."

"Three slaves with legendary strength are nothing, but you have to be careful that they open up space channels."

The advantage of information foresight allowed Zong Shen to regain his composure.

He knew the cause and effect of the matter, and naturally knew the Blood God of War.

The God of War from the Bloody Crusaders is said to have the power to kill gods, but he was banned.

The key to unlocking the ban is the [Cross Blood Coffin].

Zong Shen understood this, but he didn't expect the other party to act so quickly.

After knowing the situation, he took out the [Communication Crystal] to contact Maril and quickly deployed defenses.

Open the global shield and be ready to cut off space at any time!
