Chapter 986, Planning and Layout of the Crown Prince Competition

"How can she be a demigod?"

"This is the Seven-Colored Divine Crystal!"

"Unless becoming a god is prohibited in this era!"

Fang Yuan had a vague guess in his mind.

"Then!"

"What should I choose?"

"A legion of three hundred dark gold warriors, and a demigod hero."

After hesitating for a moment.

Fang Yuan quickly made a choice.

"Choice 2, upgrade Lilith's level to demigod!"

The reason for this choice is very simple.

In this era.

Even a dark gold legion will be suppressed by the rules.

It is difficult to sweep all countries.

But after Lilith's strength has advanced to demigod.

The speed of her research and development of alchemical potions will definitely be accelerated.

As long as she can research a potion that can quickly condense magic crystals.

Then her plan will be successful.

Next, she only needs to take down the Alpha Kingdom.

Mass-produce magic crystal warriors and kill other countries.

"Ding, your hero Lilith's strength has been upgraded to the demigod level!"

The prompt sound fell.

The seven-color divine crystal in front of her turned into powder.

The power was absorbed by Lilith.

"Lord!"

"My strength has been restored."

"Demigod level!"

Lilith made a move.

The Flame Phoenix appeared beside her.

Then she said with some regret.

"It's a pity that large spells like forbidden spells can't be used."

"Also, because of the suppression of the times, my magic power has reached the demigod level."

"But the destructive power of magic is not."

"And releasing magic requires more magic power."

Fang Yuan didn't care about what Lilith said.

"It doesn't matter."

"You don't need to go to the battlefield at the moment."

"I need the potion you developed."

"How is the progress now?"

"Not ideal, because of the limitations of the times and the differences in rules."

"Research on rapid condensation of magic crystals is slow."

"With the current research results, it will take at least five years to condense magic crystals."

If this word gets out, I'm afraid the entire alchemist will go crazy.

It can be condensed in five years, which means that magic crystal warriors can be mass-produced.

But obviously, Fang Yuan thinks it's still too long.

"We need to shorten the time."

"Lilith, we are taking an unconventional approach."

"In that case, we can be a little extreme when conducting research."

"Don't worry about the lifespan, physical disability and mortality of those magic crystal warriors."

"Even if only one out of ten succeeds, that's enough."

After hearing Fang Yuan's words, Lilith nodded thoughtfully.

"Lord."

"I know what to do."

After Lilith left.

Qing Feng brought another piece of news.

"Lord."

"Doug said that he would train the nomadic orcs in the grassland."

"It won't be long before a cavalry of 100,000 can be formed."

Fang Yuan's heart moved.

The Orc Kingdom now has no gods.

The nobles there can also be used by me.

If Doug can take down the Orc Kingdom.

Then by then, if he controls the population of the two countries, he will have more forces to mobilize.

"Qingfeng, tell Brenni not to return for the time being."

"Stay in the Orc Kingdom, assist Doug, and try to control the Orc Kingdom."

"Yes!"

Christian asked at this time.

"Lord."

"Brenni will not return."

"Then who should we send to the capital of the Alpha Kingdom?"

In the grassland, Brenni proved his strength.

Originally, Brenni was the pioneer when he went south to the capital of the Alpha Kingdom.

But now!

Fang Yuan looked at the awakened heroes.

Qingfeng is an assassin.

But he is not good at building an organization.

I need to awaken a new hero.

Open the lord system.

Check today's awakening opportunities.

"Choice 1: 300 spear and shield infantry."

"Choice 2: Heidi the hero!"

"It's her!"

Among the heroes under Fang Yuan's command, several have hardly been used.

Heidi is one of them.

Because he has mastered the camp skill of the Demon Eye.

This makes him the best candidate for patrolling and protecting the territory.

In fact, Heidi is better at commanding heavy armored infantry.

It turns out that the champion heavy armor produced by Plantagenet Castle is his direct military unit.

In addition.

Heidi is also a demon hero.

She used to be the right-hand man of Earl Plantagenet with Blayney.

And compared to Blayney, Heidi is the chief officer in charge of intelligence.

She follows Earl Plantagenet, protecting him while handling intelligence.

Judging from her past.

Heidi is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Fang Yuan made a choice quickly.

"Ding, awakening Heidi successfully."

A female swordsman wearing heavy armor and carrying a heavy sword appeared in front of Fang Yuan.

"Lord!"

Heidi bowed slightly.

He felt a restraining force all over his body.

"My strength has fallen to the middle level?"

Heidi tried to awaken the power of the devil, but found that she only had pure physical strength now.

"We are in a secret realm, this is the suppression of the rules."

After Fang Yuan explained, Heidi quickly became familiar with her current strength.

"Lord, what can I do for you?"

Fang Yuan told about his plan.

"So I need a hero to go to Alpha's capital."

"Build an intelligence network."

"At the same time, prepare in advance for my arrival in the future."

Heidi nodded.

"Without a doubt, I'm the best choice."

"I once went deep into the Wind Breeze Grassland and established an intelligence network on my own."

"Collected a lot of intelligence for His Excellency the Earl's Northern Expedition."

Fang Yuan also took a fancy to this.

"What do you need?"

Heidi shook her head.

"unnecessary."

"My current identity is the best cover."

Even so, Fang Yuan still gave him enough golden tickets.

"If you encounter trouble in the royal capital."

"You can go find the Royal Alchemist Crow."

"He'll help you."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After Heidi left.

Fang Yuan began to focus on border matters.

After the war is won.

The next step is to divide the territory.

Swampland and Lehman City are their own forces.

As for other places.

Fang Yuan doesn't want it.

But someone from the Rainbow Land came to win over.

Fang Yuan refused.

And the news came back from Crowe.

Rainbow Duke intends to compete for the crown prince.

As the lord of the border, I should support him.

For this reason, he also gave away the credit for killing Duke Carlo.

"Christian."

"The border war has been decided."

"Then we just have to bide our time."

"I think since the border is interested in getting involved."

"How about we try our old trick again."

"With the help of the border as a whole, we can control the battle for Alpha's storage position from now on."

"That way it won't be exposed right away."

"It can also give us some insurance."

"If anything happens, just let the border nobles take the blame."

Heard Fang Yuan’s plan.

Christian said after thinking for a moment.

"Your Excellency, what are you going to do?"

Fang Yuan looked at the map in front of him.

"Our identity now is count."

"Qualified to become a chess player."

"I think it's better to put yourself in the game."

"Join the service of Duke Tire."

"Let's plan together to seize the reserve."

"The specific plan will be arranged slowly after we have integrated into each other."

Christian didn't object.

"Your Excellency, then we can try to contact Sam."

"You are all counts now."

"You rely on the nobles around you, plus the Red River Valley behind Sam."

"The two combined will be enough to be on an equal footing with Tire City and Rainbow Land on the border."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

"That's what I thought too."

"Assis."

Fang Yuan shouted.

"Your Mightiness."

"You go and deliver a message to Lord Sam."

"Just say that I invited him to come to the Chateau Moulin Rouge as a guest."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Then Fang Yuan looked at his own troops.

"The orcs will not go south anytime soon."

"We don't need to maintain so many troops here."

"Except for those alien forces."

"The human legion can go south first."

"After Guderian returns."

"We can disguise ourselves as a caravan and go south first."

Christian asked with some confusion after hearing this.

"What's the purpose?"

"Certainly in critical moments, we have the power to flip the table."

Christian hesitated.

"If force is used, I'm afraid the entire Alpha Kingdom will fall into civil strife."

Fang Yuan naturally knows.

In this kind of battle for the reserve, every force is not simple.

If you want to rely on killing to get to the top, it will inevitably lead to internal divisions.

But Guderian was different.

His royal power plundering skills are designed for killing.

"It doesn't matter. Assassination is different from attacking openly."

"When Guderian goes south, he can find important targets and use royal power to plunder them to complete their replacement."

“That way we can quickly and easily open things up at the top.”

When Christian heard that Fang Yuan was not reckless, he relaxed a lot.

"By the way, let Aria hide her troops."

"Don't scare Sam."

"yes!"

Red River Valley.

Within the territory of the Sam family.

After the war against the orcs.

The nobles in the Red River Valley suffered heavy losses again.

Many nobles died.

New territories were vacated.

And the Sam family, a later outsider.

But he made a fortune because of this war.

At the critical moment, cooperate with the Baron of Moulin Rouge to attack the orcs.

Successfully defeated the orc infantry and delayed the Carlo family's retreat.

Then go around to intercept the fleeing orcs.

There were more than 3,000 prisoners alone.

Become the family with the most prisoners among all the nobles.

Discussing merits after the war.

There was no title promotion for the Sam family.

But their chassis in the Red River Valley has been expanded to the equivalent of a Marquis level.

It became the largest noble family in the entire Red River Valley.

The terrain of the territory is difficult.

Being locked up makes you independent.

Although get excellent terrain.

But Sam also fell into sorrow.

Because this is a conspiracy against their family.

In this kind of terrain, future generations will really have to have a few fools to close the door and become independent.

Then his family will be attacked in an instant.

The territory that was taken at the cost of one's life will also be divided up again.

You know, too much territory was swallowed up this time.

I don't know how many nobles are jealous.

For this, Sam urgently needs to be tied to the border nobles.

But he himself was promoted from a baron.

Even in the border area, he is a noble without any foundation.

Although the previous war won the favor of other nobles in the Red River Valley.

But when it comes to interests.

But no one takes it seriously.

The current Sam family has territory but no status.

To get the corresponding status, you need a community of interests.

But because the foundation is too shallow, you can't get into the core of others.

Sam is very troubled by this.

"Father, we just went to the Sandru family to propose marriage, but were rejected."

"He said that we carry the rotten smell of the swamp."

Hearing this.

Sam's eyes burst into anger.

But it soon disappeared.

"Hmph!"

"The Sandro family, I helped them get back the family territory this time."

"And you still laugh at me."

"You are really a bunch of barbarians."

"Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to."

"What about your third brother? He went to the Heim family for your younger sister's marriage."

"Any news?"

As soon as the voice fell, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

"Father!"

His third son rushed in.

His face was bruised and purple.

"What's going on?"

Sam had actually guessed it in his heart.

But he still asked with a serious face.

"I ask to bring 300 cavalrymen to destroy the Heim family."

"Nonsense!"

"What's going on?"

"They bullied me."

"I brought gifts to ask for marriage, and the Heim family agreed."

"But they turned around and called me a country bumpkin from the swamp."

"A bastard born with a frogman wants to marry into the Heim family."

"They also looted our gifts."

"Everything we brought this time was robbed."

This time, Sam's anger could no longer be suppressed.

"These bastards!"

Sam slammed the table and stood up.

His teeth were about to break.

It doesn't matter if he loses some money.

Now Sam's family is rich.

But insulting his daughter.

This is absolutely not allowed!

The eldest son beside him also shouted.

"Father, for the honor of my little sister."

"The Heim family must be punished."

Sam also wanted to, but the Heim family!

He took a deep breath.

It is the marquis in the Red River Valley.

It is also the in-law of Governor Tyre.

Take action on him.

Wouldn't that give Governor Tyre an excuse to send troops to him?

These people!

They are forcing him to make mistakes.

Then they can divide his territory.

Despicable nobles.

But at the same time, he is more helpless.

A noble without background, and occupying such a large and good territory.

They have long been prey in the eyes of other nobles.

They will use all kinds of dirty means to force you to make mistakes.

Then find an excuse to kill you.

"No, no."

"You must not send troops."

And his second son asked.

"But father, are we always bullied?"

"If there is no way to counter, we will be forced to rebel sooner or later!"

Sam also knew.

But he had no choice.

Now he can only drag it slowly.

And suddenly.

Sam thought of Efron.

Like himself, would Efron be the same as himself?

How would he solve it?

Or would the alchemist behind him help solve it.

If I can also get the support of the alchemist.

Just when Sam was thinking about this in his heart.

A waiter ran in quickly.

"Report, Sir Sam."

"Earl Efron sent an envoy to invite you to the castle of the Red Mill for a banquet."

Hearing this news.

Sam's mind turned quickly.

Thinking about the purpose of this banquet.

But soon said.

"Prepare 50,000 gold coins immediately."

"No!"

"Efron doesn't like gold coins."

"Prepare three boxes of magic crystals as gifts and leave for the Red Mill Castle immediately."

Just after Earl Sam left the Red River Valley.

At this moment.

The Governor's Mansion in Tyr City.

"Oh, Sam went to Efron?"

Governor Tyr's face turned ugly.

These two nobles who came out of the swamp.

Relying on military exploits, they got a lot of wealth and territory.

After solving the problem of orcs.

Governor Tyr was ready to slowly erode these two nobles.

Use their wealth to make up for his losses in the war.

Sam, who is now cleaning up the Red River Valley, has not yet taken action against the Red Mill.

I didn't expect them to have contacted each other in advance.

"Governor."

"Both of them are earls."

"If they contact each other."

"Their power is probably not weaker than ours."

"Especially Efron, who gained the trust of the surrounding nobles during the war."

"They volunteered to become Efron's vassals."

"Sam doesn't have this advantage."

"But he has money!"

"They are combined, and they have money and people."

"It's a big threat to you."

Governor Tyer hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Why not kill them halfway!"

"Kill them!!!"

Governor Tyer was very tempted.

But he soon thought of Efron's record.

He shook his head again.

"No!"

"Efron's identity is very mysterious."

"There are very strong knights around him."

"Our main force suffered heavy losses."

"Don't do it for now."

"Let's see what they are trying to unite for."

"As long as it doesn't threaten our plan!"

"That's fine."

"If you oppose the border nobles to participate in the battle for the crown prince."

"Then tell Duke Rainbow to do it together."

"Yes!"

Moulin Rouge Castle.

"What!"

"Efron!"

"You're playing such a big game!!!"

At the banquet.

Earl Sam was shocked by Fang Yuan's plan.

The look he gave Fang Yuan was full of disbelief.

And Fang Yuan was leaning back on his chair at this time.

He tapped his fingers on the armrest and stared at Sam for a while before speaking slowly.

"So!"

"The honorable Earl Sam."

"Can you tell me your choice now?"

Faced with Fang Yuan's aggressive questioning.

Sam stammered for a moment.

"Do I have a choice?"

Looking at the warriors outside the banquet, he sighed.

Hearing this answer, Fang Yuan smiled faintly.

"Come here!"

"Go to Tyre City and tell His Excellency the Governor."

"Just say that Earl Sam and I invite him and Duke Rainbow to the banquet."

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
