Chapter 1807 Intensification
The troublemakers were a group of explorers under a medium-sized church called "Victory Banner".
He is a subordinate god of a war-related church and also the "armed security group" for this exploration.
People like Lu Ping'an, who prioritize trade and diplomatic communication when they arrive at a place, are considered doves among explorers. Where there are doves, there are hawks, and there are many hawks who do more than their share.
The Victory Banner is not the most extreme group, but it is certainly not an honest group. After they determined that this world is an extremely rich virgin land with little defense power, they naturally started their own conquest process.
They conquered several kingdoms, forcibly pieced them together, supported puppets as governors, and started unilateral trade without any equality. At the same time, they were eager for high-quality human resources.
"They were attacked by a knight group, which is said to be a group of strong men in the heroic epic two hundred years ago. Among them, at least seven are above the rule level, and there are suspected quasi-god-level strong men to support them."
Naturally, a group suffered heavy losses and many good players died.
The most speechless thing is that this story has quickly become a poem, which is circulated everywhere in taverns and streets.
What kind of foreign evil demons came to the mortal world, bringing disasters and slavery, and the heroes from ancient times walked out of the epic and drove away the evil demons under the leadership of the sage.
"It's really shameful"
"It's shameful, but it will have a negative impact on our pioneering work. They really treat us as robbers, and it will be difficult to wash it off."
Some things are also unavoidable. After understanding the reality of this world, Lu Ping'an knew that this day would come sooner or later.
The explorer mechanism is an extremely free policy. It saves a lot of official expenditures by relying mainly on civilian forces, but as a price, the restraint is quite insufficient.
It is good to be able to restrain the direct group of the righteous gods. The subordinate forces at the lower level are used to being wild outside. Even if they follow the big team, their specific behavior is impossible to control. People who are used to talking with guns may have lost the ability to debate and reason with others.
Especially when they will be dispersed, organize explorations on their own, bear their own profits and losses, and have to undergo high performance assessments.
"How will the official handle it?"
"The opinions have not been issued yet. I guess their superiors will handle it. It is very likely to kill people to silence them."
Some places are rotten, just dig them out directly. Although it is simple and crude, many people have been doing this all the time.
It is better to deal with the parties directly than to make up for it afterwards.
"It will intensify the conflict."
The combat power of the so-called Classical Knights is nothing in front of the power of the righteous gods. It is not difficult to eradicate them.
However, after beating the small ones, the old ones come. How big the fish is under the water, no one can tell.
"It will definitely happen. Now many people are looking forward to how big they will make trouble in the end."
The exploration of the righteous churches has not made much progress. Now someone has taken the initiative to jump out to stir up trouble. Naturally, they hope to see more excitement and hope that they can cause more noise and blow up the deep water.
As for the overall reputation loss? That is the headache of the authorities, not the churches.
"I guess the higher-ups have already called for a halt."
"They won't listen, and they won't even let the official letter arrive."
Lu Ping'an was not anxious, and there was no point in being anxious. There was no other way to intercept the wolves except to kill them.
It was not worth it to attack other churches.
"Let's do our thing first, build a few factories."
Lu Ping'an and his party still did their old business, increased cooperation with the kingdoms here, and started the old way of setting up factories locally.
No matter what, their human resources are still limited, while local human resources and connections are unlimited.
People like him are destined to be a minority. Most exploration groups are not led by industry or commerce but by military groups. They are always good at fighting. After the exploration of many areas has fallen into a bottleneck, the managers have begun to directly exhaust the resources.
The friction between the two sides has been escalating, which is also what some explorers want to see. If the other side really does not have enough armed forces, the next "communication" will be more direct.
"A letter from Baba Sanmian?"
While waiting, a letter sent by someone surprised Lu Pingan a little.
Although they had agreed to exchange information, the important message sent by the other party so honestly also showed goodwill. Of course, it might also be that they needed Lu Pingan's strength.
"Sure enough, they need help. Uh, with their military force, is it still not enough?"
Baba Sanmian is a real god of fighting. He has many muscle sticks, and the melee profession in this plane has been significantly enhanced, which should be their place.
However, they still seek Lu Pingan's support because this job is too difficult
"Three Realms, are there still three thousand worlds?"
Along with the letter, there are also some delightful local intelligence.
Unlike Lu Pingan, their style of doing things is more radical. Naturally, they fought with those "Heroic Knights" and even provoked the high-level combat power hidden on the other side.
As for combat, unless they encounter a particularly harsh environment, their combat power is reliable. In addition, their personalities are quite compatible with the locals, so they naturally get the recognition of the other side and thus obtain more intelligence.
"I didn't expect that you would come to me for cooperation."
Lu Pingan did not refuse and went directly to their station.
On the one hand, they are here to discuss cooperation, and on the other hand, they are here to suppress anger on behalf of the government and avoid further intensification of conflicts.
And there, he also met what he had been looking for, an ancient dragon that was at least a thousand years old.
"Sir, may I ask for my service?"
Different from the legend, this giant dragon that occupied the entire square was quite friendly and even took the initiative to say hello to Lu Ping'an.
There was a golden luster all around it. It was like a dragon but without wings. It had lightning on its long neck. It looked a bit like the local lizard tribe, but it was more sacred.
However, now it lowers its head and looks at the "little man" respectfully, and it cannot become great no matter what.
Behind Lu Ping'an, the accompanying senior clerics looked confused. When they communicated with him before, this thing was quite difficult to maintain, and he was a stupid short-lived creature.
Lu was stunned, then smiled.
Apparently, the "wrongful spirit of the gods" all over his body was to blame again.
He didn't bother to explain that it would be a good thing for the other party to be honest.
"Tell me about the 'common sense' of your world."
And with this old dragon, Lu Pingan also knew why the Domineering Three Faces Church was looking for him.
"The upper world is the pasture of life, while the place of death in the underground world is the chess game and arena of the gods."
