Chapter 1492 The back-up plan of Marquis Ekmeledin [Please subscribe]

"As far as I know, your territory was a barren grassland a year ago."

"It is adjacent to the burial ground, and powerful undead often roam around, so it is not suitable as a settlement."

"And compared with other places in the area, the geographical location there is not too advantageous."

"I wonder how you can initially build a giant city-level settlement in a year?"

Marquis Ekmeledin looked stern, but his eyes were particularly bright.

This made Zong Shen a little curious. He didn't expect that he would play an open card.

The changes there could not be hidden from the eyes of those who were interested.

Not to mention the emergence of a giant city-level settlement within a year, even if the time was increased by a hundred or a thousand times, it would be an incredible thing for the natives.

Zong Shen estimated that Marquis Ekmeledin should have guessed something.

This is not surprising.

After all, he is a giant city-level ruler, and it is normal to know something about the Chosen Son.

And judging from Ekmeledin's reaction, this guy is not actually a coward as rumored by the outside world.

He was just a little too cautious.

A true coward can't lead such a disciplined team.

The garrison of Dagalisni is more disciplined than that of Luntax.

As the saying goes, if a soldier is cowardly, the generals will be cowardly.

If Ekmeleddin is really a fool, even if he has good officers, it will be difficult for him to lead such an army.

In addition, Dagalisni's construction and planning are actually not bad.

The real gap with Luntax is only the foundation and size.

Facts have proved that the Marquis Ekmeleddin in front of him is a qualified ruler.

This seemingly careless inquiry is the first card he played.

It also made Zong put away his contempt.

He replied with a smile.

"Indeed, it actually took less than a year to build my territory."

Since the other party has played an open card, there is no need for him to hide it.

Now it seems that the lord system allows limited communication of inside information.

Especially for lords like Zong Shen who are ahead in progress, they enjoy a certain degree of "right to leak secrets".

Such a frank answer surprised Marquis Ekmeledin.

Only the chief officers around him were still a little confused.

"Create a giant city-level territory within a year?"

"How is this possible?"

"Could it be that the intelligence is wrong?"

The military chief sitting on the right hand side of the marquis couldn't help but speak.

He was wearing Avalon's officer armor, which had a golden epic quality.

In Zong Shen's eyes, the bright aura looked a bit showy.

Some special effects can only be seen by lords.

This is also a change brought about by semi-digitalization.

Zong Shen just smiled and said nothing about the military chief's words.

He could see that there was a big difference between the natives and the natives.

Some people could see through the secrets and even awaken like Grand Duke Jonathan.

And some natives were destined to be supporting roles in this life.

In comparison, joining the territory has become a shortcut.

At least it is an opportunity to say goodbye to the muddleheaded life.

Marquis Ekmeledin looked at Zong Shen deeply, lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

When he raised his head with a thoughtful look, he met Zong Shen's smiling eyes.

"I... understand."

"The legend is true, the ancient rumors are true..."

"Everyone, you leave first, I have something to talk to this lord alone."

"Hisham, you stay."

The Marquis asked all the chief officers to leave.

He seemed to understand something.

What Zong Shen said before made him figure out something.

Several chief officers were a little confused.

So they stood up and left in confusion.

Hisham did not take a seat, but stood behind the Marquis, with a very complicated expression.

When everyone left and the heavy door of the reception room was closed again, Marquis Ekmeledin said seriously.

"Does the Chosen Son involve the change of era?"

"Is the rule of the Pendragon Dynasty coming to an end?"

These two questions made Zong Shen raise his eyebrows.

It was not muted. Could it be that Marquis Ekmeledin is also going to become an awakener?

"Where did you know about the Chosen Son and the change of eras?"

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and asked bluntly.

This question was expected by the Marquis, and he slowly opened his mouth to give an answer.

"Books."

"Similar concepts are mentioned in some ancient books."

"Although most books only mention this briefly, and the relevant content is very vague, I can vaguely see some content."

"Some of the relevant information comes from old Bachelor Cole, who is a retired university scholar from the city and has spent the rest of his life studying continental history."

The Marquis said frankly without hesitation.

He was trying to show goodwill to Zong Shen.

Being open and honest is often the first step in friendly communication.

It just so happened that Zong Shen was a person who was soft-hearted and did not take hard words, so he could not say those tough words.

"Interesting."

"Then do you know why I came here?"

He spread his hands, stretched his arms, and just laid them flat on the table.

Hearing this, Marquis Ekmeledin looked at his hands and said.

"Peace or conquest."

"You seem to be a wise man."

"And what are your options?"

Zong Shen smiled and simply stopped pretending.

But he saw Marquis Ekmeledin smiling back.

"My choice depends on your choice."

This answer is very interesting.

It can be seen that the Marquis must have prepared some means to deal with Zong Shen.

Because he seemed very confident when he said these words.

“The future is right in front of you.”

"Now that you know about the change of dimensions, you should understand that this is the general trend."

"As you can see, my territory has already reached the size of a giant city, and it only took a few months."

Zong Shen stood up and walked to the window, opening the window and looking into the sky.

His voice was calm and deep.

The meaning of the words is also very clear. A huge city can be built in a few months.

So given time, the mere Dagalisni will be nothing more than an insect in front of Zong Shen.

This is very arrogant, but it is an indisputable fact.

"Dagalisni was founded by my ancestors."

"This is the home of the Clift family."

"Except for the Pendragon royal family, the ancestors of the Clift family did not owe allegiance to anyone."

"I have reason to hope that it will continue to be independent and autonomous."

The feudal model of Endless Continent is similar to that of ancient Europe on Earth.

It was also a feudal system based on land autonomy.

For more than two thousand years, the Clift family has been the masters of this area.

So what Marquis Ekmeledin said was considered a refusal.

However, he didn't say it to death, and he still left a certain amount of room.

It can be seen that he is still very afraid of Zong Shen, even a little humble.

You must know that a giant city controls tens of millions of people. As the ruler of a giant city, Marquis Ekmeleddin is definitely considered a local emperor.

But he had to be cautious when facing Zong Shen.

"A reasonable request."

"Joining my side does not mean that the Clift family will lose this city."

"On the contrary, it may mean that your family has a new future."

"As long as you are willing to join my camp, I promise to keep Dagalisni autonomous, provided that you and all the chief officers must swear allegiance to me."

"At the same time, at least half of the giant city garrison must be drawn out to reorganize with my soldiers."

Zong Shen said calmly.

He really doesn't mind if Dagalisny remains autonomous.

Anyway, there is a loyalty system. As long as the other party is willing to swear an oath, it will be affected by loyalty.

By then, this place will still become part of his power matrix.

If Marquis Ekmeledin cannot even agree to this request, then Zong Shen is not prepared to continue the negotiation.

I saw the Marquis looking thoughtful, his eyebrows full of tangled expressions.

After a long time, he raised his head with difficulty.

"I…"

"I'm sorry I can't do it!"

He spoke in a low voice, and immediately became firm.

"It's so easy to say."

"It seems that the Marquis has made a decision."

Zong Shen slowly turned around.

The eyes of the two collided in the electric light.

There was a hint of hostility.

Before he could take action, the surrounding space fluctuated violently.

Every inch of space as far as the eye can see is rippled.

For an instant, it felt like being in an inverted lake.

There is a feeling of dizziness.

But this is actually a side effect of spatial movement.

Zong Shen has extremely strong mental resistance, and the dizziness is only fleeting.

However, the surrounding space has quietly changed.

From the spacious and bright conference room to a dark and damp dungeon.

The only ones affected were Caulby and Zong Shen.

It seems that Marquis Ekmeledin also had some ideas in sending away those chief officials.

He twisted his neck, but Zong Shen didn't panic at all when something unexpected happened.

"What a funny guy."

"Hide your backhand under sincerity."

"The sincerity he showed is real, and the backhand is even more real."

"It's just that I still lack some patience after all."

Zong Shen whispered to himself, and Colby took out his weapon with his backhand.

The scimitar flashing with totem light and shadow is particularly sharp.

But someone in the clan did not take out the [Moon Wolf Fang], but replaced it with the recently obtained [Egri Thunder Sword (Glory Level II)].

Electric arcs flickered on the surface of the sword.

All arc lights are jumping for joy.

He knew that the Marquis of Ecmeledin was observing them.

Holding the sword in hand, Zong Shen's eyes turned cold.

Activate [Egli Thunder Incarnation]!

Immediately, he was surrounded by phantoms of thunder and lightning.

A huge and ferocious thunder and lightning shadow appeared in front of him.

Make him look like the God of Thunder has descended.

This is the transformation skill that comes with the sword.

It can condense the power of thunder and lightning to summon the incarnation of thunder.

The avatar has 100,000 thunder points, and each point of thunder points can replace 2 points of health.

When attacked, thunder and lightning will be cast on 3 random enemy targets around, causing magic damage ranging from 150 to 500 points.

In the thunder incarnation state, you are immune to related types of magic below level eight.

At the same time, the thunder value can be restored by natural thunder and lightning elemental magic. When this state is maintained, the thunder value will be automatically reduced by 100 points every second, and the cooling time is 12 hours after the end of the incarnation.

The battle sword in his hand was also covered in lightning and looked extremely huge.

"Colby, stand by and let me come."

Zong Shen hasn't made a good move for a while, and his hands are somewhat itchy.

And it just so happened that he also planned to try out the power of these new equipment he had recently acquired.

Combat is the best way to test equipment.

Zong Shen was convinced of this.

After entering the thunder incarnation state, he waved the light and shadow sword in his hand.

Countless lightning arcs converged into an awl, piercing straight into the light shield of the dungeon in front of them.

The isolation here looks very solid, and it also has durability from Zong Shen's perspective.

The solidity value of three million points is very eye-catching.

A cage of this level is worthy of someone from his sect.

Normal legends have to fight for a while.

I saw that the thunder cone was inserted hard into the light mask, causing the light mask to sway.

Then a wave of damage value of 150,000 points appeared.

This incarnation of thunder is also very powerful when it is knocked down casually.

Comparable to the eighth-level single-target lightning method.

Such an attack is considered super powerful for the same level.

After all, the lightning attack is indeed fierce.

"good."

"In this case, it would be better if I give it another twenty strokes."

Zong Shen looked at Colby and said in a relaxed tone.

This indifference was in sharp contrast to his ferocious image under the incarnation of Thunder.

He played against the legend more than once.

For example, low-level and mid-level legends can do tens of thousands of damage with their moves, which is pretty good.

Getting to 100,000 points is a hurdle.

But Zong Shen can be played as a flat A.

And this is nothing, he is purely testing his weapon skills.

If it were replaced by [Moon Wolf Fang], and with a flat slash with 1.2 times the power of arc light, he could deal hundreds of thousands of damage. He would be invincible under a demigod, and he could exchange 0 for 1 by using any means as a demigod.

Colby smiled gently.

What this prairie man shows most often is his gentlest smile.

The thunder cone in Zong Shen's hand kept hitting out, and soon the durability of the light shield was reduced to half.

There is a health bar, what can't be broken?

Zong Shen sneered at this kind of confinement method.

But obviously the Marquis would not try to trap him so easily.

There is still a backup plan.

The whole cell suddenly became dark.

A familiar scene appeared, and the space in the cell melted like water.

They swarmed around, squeezing and wrapping Zong Shen, making him unable to move at all.

"Things are getting more and more fun."

This method is a combination of high-level water system and space system.

And the integration is quite clever, it can be said that the space is treated as water flow.

So varied, so everywhere.

The squeezing sensation comes not just from the water, but from the space itself exerting pressure.

His attack came to an abrupt end as his body was restrained.

In another small adjacent space, Marquis Ekmeledin, who had witnessed the whole scene, breathed a sigh of relief. Next to him stood a short spellcaster wearing a patchwork robe.

This spellcaster is only about 1.4 meters tall, not much taller than dwarves and goblins.

The knot of the staff in his hand cracked.

Through the shadow of the hood, a drop of sweat could be seen sliding down the pale side face.

"Sir, the opponent's strength is too strong, [Kong Shuiyuan] will not last long!"

The labored neutral voice sounded, proving that Zong was not easy to restrain!
