Chapter 680: Choice
For players, building a territory can be regarded as the most contacted part since the beginning of the game.
However, building a territory is not so easy.
It's like in many sand table building games, most players build coffins, and only a few big players can build castles and fly planes. The work of territory construction is even more cumbersome. Duanmuhuai remembers that the topic of territory construction in the forum has been enduring for a long time. Of course, most people like the agricultural world and garden world, and some people like to build hive cities or forge worlds of.
It's just that it's one thing to like it, but it's another thing to make it.
Fortunately, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the players, and there are not a few graduates majoring in urban management. Not only can they create a perfect cycle of territory, but they can also create blueprints to sell to other players—this somewhat relieves many players.
After all, most people belong to the sandbox building house and can only build coffins, or at most the level of building a ventilated coffin. If you ask them to plan a city, it will really kill them.
Of course, Duanmuhuai in the game world has no chance for this kind of thing, or most soulwalkers don't care about it. Their combat power comes from the Fragment World and soul cards, so there is no need to engage in conscription like other professions planet, farming planet or forging planet.
Soulwalkers pay attention to being one who is expensive and not expensive. If you recruit millions of soldiers on a planet, it is estimated that the combat effectiveness is not as strong as my small team.
Of course, on the other hand, people don’t feel sorry for a million deaths, and you have to cry to death if you die one.
But Duanmuhuai is naturally not in the mood to play with city skylines. Stifal also sells city blueprints. Many times players really have no choice but to buy blueprints from Stifal. There is also the fantasy style that players talk about most.
Well, the reason why I talk about it is because the fantasy city blueprints are almost all carved out of the same mold. Basically, it is a circular city wall on the outside, divided into four areas inside, and then put the king city in the middle to finish. In fact, the same is true of the royal cities in different worlds in many anime games, so much so that players complain about whether these authors all used the same template to make them...
Duanmuhuai didn't use this common template, after all, he also had to consider the aesthetics, so Duanmuhuai bought a blueprint for the construction of a city named Iluziel from Stifal.
The city was chosen because its style is as Gothic as the Tribunal, and the city is full of Gothic spiers, buildings, and churches. In the final analysis, the Judgment Chamber is such an organization, and Duanmuhuai thinks that Iluzier is quite representative.
After all, this territory is the face of the Tribunal, and Duanmuhuai also wants to let others see the majesty of the Tribunal—strictly speaking, the Tribunal is not like a good angel or messenger of justice like Tyre or Tom. If it is found to be related to the evil god, it will immediately turn into the most terrifying blade and destroy everything completely.
So oppression is far more important than affinity.
Duanmuhuai has come to this day with a pure imperial style. Steel, skulls and churches are his symbols, and he doesn't plan to change it. And the Gothic church is really beautiful and atmospheric, and it looks very comfortable.
After Duanmuhuai threw the blueprint to the night guards, he let go of it, and the next thing was for those consultants and night guards to do. He is a big judge, it is impossible to spend his time on how to repair the wall every day.
So Duanmu Huai returned to Luminas after confirming the general development plan of the territory—thankfully, at least he didn't have to climb out of Aurelia's bathroom this time.
And beside him, only Augis was left.
But not long after Duanmuhuai came to Luminas, he was arrested.
"Where have you been these few days?"
The black-haired maid grabbed Duanmuhuai with an unhappy expression on her face.
"His Royal Highness has been sending people to look for you, but they can't find you."
"Going to drink flower wine."
"Flower wine? What kind of wine do you want to drink in the palace?"
"Hehehe, I'm afraid the palace won't provide it."
Seeing the foolish look of the black-haired maid, Duanmuhuai stopped teasing her.
"Okay, just tell me if you have anything to say, could it be that my reward has been approved?"
"this……………"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the black-haired maid's complexion changed.
"No, it's not, but..."
"Hesitate, talk when you have something to say."
"... Recently, the conflict between us and the Principality of Levion has intensified. Your Majesty ordered Her Royal Highness to go to investigate in person..."
"Does your princess have a bad relationship with the king?"
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai put a question mark directly, where is there such a thing? He has just returned to the court in triumph, and you don't even have a reward, so you send him out again, and the friction between countries is not a war between the two countries. As for letting the princess go out in person? How many days have passed?
"of course not!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's disrespectful inquiry, the black-haired maid hastily opened her mouth to defend.
"Actually, Her Majesty the Princess had a very good relationship with His Majesty before, but since His Majesty fell ill... just..."
The black-haired maid looked unspeakable, and Duanmuhuai was not interested in these royal family dramas.
"That's none of my business, so what does Aurelia want me to do?"
"Because this time the situation is related to sea monsters."
"What the hell is a sea monster?"
It has to be said that upon hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and the black-haired maid hurriedly explained.
"Our country and the Principality of Levion have always faced each other across the sea, and the communication between the two sides is through the Sea of Silence. However, during this period of time, sea monsters appeared in the Sea of Silence and attacked merchant ships. Many ships sank because of sea monsters. Many people were killed and injured.”
"But what does this have to do with you? You raised the sea monster?"
"How is it possible? But that sea monster only attacked the ships of the Principality of Levion, not our Luminas ship, so... The Principality of Levion asked us to explain."
"So that dementia sent Aurelia?"
Duanmuhuai smiled and nodded.
"Well, think about it carefully, sea battles are good. If you lose, you can forget about it. If you win, the ship will sink, and you will probably end up drowning in the sea. It's easy to explain, and what happened on the ship, others will know It can’t be passed on, can it?”
"……………what do you mean?"
The black-haired maid frowned and stared at Duanmuhuai dissatisfied.
"When you say that, it seems that His Majesty intends to kill His Highness the Princess..."
"Isn't it? I don't believe it, this matter is so urgent, Aurelia must go, or is there no one else for you Luminas?"
"This...of course not..."
There are many princesses around Duanmuhuai, and he has an understanding of similar world situations.
Basically, there are two types of princesses.
The first category is the real power faction like An. Although she spends all day fishing in school, she is qualified to approve government affairs. Many kings' government affairs are basically approved by An. She is very talented and is the strongest magic princess in Manaria. Except for sometimes jumping a little bit, she basically has no flaws.
The other is like Guleya, who has the name of a princess, but otherwise is basically a vase. Ann was able to directly order the legion to act in Manalia, and Guleya probably had few people in Regnes to listen to what she said. If others call her Your Highness the Princess, it is considered to be giving her face.
Aurelia is basically a princess of the former category, but the problem is that she is still a princess.
To put it simply, if the king didn't die suddenly, she couldn't resist the king.
Hey, when I went back, why didn't I go straight to the throne and kill that old fool with a sword?
Isn't that a remake of a classic?
"Don't you believe it? It's easy to prove it."
Duanmuhuai sneered and looked at the black-haired maid.
"That's it, go back and tell Aurelia to ask her to propose to the king that I be responsible for investigating this matter. If you are worried, you can send someone you trust to follow me, and Aurelia can also use herself as a guarantee. When the time comes, you will know if His Majesty the King nods his head."
"...Why do I feel that you are messing around..."
After hearing Duanmuhuai's ridicule, the black-haired maid stomped her feet, and then she thought for a moment uneasy.
"I see, I will inform Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Duanmuhuai didn't go to the palace, so he didn't know what the black-haired maid told him, but when he saw Aurelia with a cold face and the black-haired maid with her head down, Duanmuhuai appeared in front of him early the next morning. Almost guessed the process.
"Hehehe, how does it feel to be framed by your own father?"
"......This is not the idea of the father."
Facing Duanmuhuai's mockery, Aurelia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
"It's Christ's idea, that suspicious man manipulated the father, that's why..."
"It does not matter."
Duanmuhuai waved his hand.
"The question is what do you want to do now? Obediently follow his advice and go to sea to catch sea monsters?"
"Is there any other way?"
"certainly."
Hearing Aurelia's rhetorical question, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"If you enter the palace now and kill the man who manipulated the king, then nothing will happen?"
"Why?"
It has to be said that Duanmuhuai's proposal immediately surprised Aurelia.
"But...if it wasn't for him, then my father would have passed away long ago..."
"From my point of view, he is no different from the living dead now."
Duanmuhuai seemed very calm.
"An old fool who can't speak clearly, letting him sit on the throne is simply a crime against the entire country of Luminas. Think about it, Your Highness Alleria, how many of those soldiers in the Northland Fortress are because of Died of your father's stupid decision?"
“……………………”
This time, Alleria did not answer immediately, but gritted her teeth.
"Royal power is not eternal, Your Royal Highness."
Duanmuhuai narrowed his eyes and stared at Aurelia.
"Do you want to watch this country decline? After all, one day, his life will come to an end, and you... will be crowned king."
Speaking of this, the corners of Duanmu Huai's mouth slightly raised.
"Are you going to choose your father, or this country?"
