Elf Sandstorm Lord

Chapter 196 Du Cheng and Analysis

Songyuan Town,
At this time, the person sitting in the chair in the conference room of the Lord's Mansion in Songyuan Town was not the mature and capable Baron Dewey in the past.

Instead, he was a boy with a rather immature face, who looked to be only about 12 years old.

Although the young man is sitting upright and pretending to be mature and calm, the childishness between his brows and the hard work of pretending can still be seen through at a glance!
Even so, he suddenly received the news of his father's death, and there was no trace of his body, plus a sudden change in the territory.

Now he can't show panic and fear. As a 12-year-old boy, it is indeed a bit difficult for him.

"........."

"Master Du Cheng, the top priority is for you to inherit the title as soon as possible and stabilize the people. Although our territory has suffered a heavy setback, it is still the strongest among the surrounding territories, with a population of 6000 under its rule. As long as we survive this period With time, your vitality will slowly recover!"

After hearing Mr. Jia's words, the son of the baron named Du Cheng nodded, and the panic he tried to hide calmed down a little, and said:

"Today's meeting ends here. The reinforcement of Panshi Town and the reconstruction of Lisha Town will be completed according to the steps just taken.

The most important thing is that the defense of Songyuan Town cannot be relaxed at all.Okay, everyone, let’s go get busy. Mr. Jia will stay for now! "

After everyone retreated, Master Du Cheng slowly said, "Mr. Jia, is there anything going on with my uncle?"

"Young master, please rest assured that although the Northwest Province is currently in troubled times, the legitimacy of the territorial heir is still valued by all nobles.

After all, this is the foundation of the aristocratic inheritance system, and we will never allow this rule to be broken.Anyone who wants to make a breakthrough is an enemy of the entire Donghuang noble class!

What's more, your uncle and other relatives don't have much substantial power in their hands.No one would be out of their minds to invest in him at this time! "

Young Master Du Cheng nodded, but his expression remained gloomy, and said: "Mr. Jia, you are the person my father trusts the most, and I will tell you something from my heart.

The person I am most worried about at this time is not my uncle!But..."

"You must be the eldest lady!" Mr. Jia said with a chuckle.

Du Cheng glanced at the latter, a little surprised, but then said: "My sister has been stronger than me since she was a child, and my father once said accidentally that it would be nice if she was a boy.

Moreover, my sister has many secrets, and I have never seen through her, not to mention that she has secretly cultivated her own power over the years!
If my father had handed over his duties to me normally, I wouldn’t be so worried!
But now the strength of the territory has been frustrated, people's hearts are unstable, and I am still too young, so I am worried..."

"Young master, you don't have to worry about this at all!" Mr. Jia said:

“In this world, not only can a daughter not inherit the family property, but to put it offensively, the woman herself is part of the property!

Therefore, what the young master is worried about has never happened before.The respect that other people in the territory have for the eldest lady is also because of her ability to help the baron and young master.

To put it another way, if the eldest lady had ulterior motives, even those retainers who usually loved him would not follow her.This is a consistent thing from nobles to civilians! "

Hearing this, Master Du Cheng's face looked a little better. He thought for a while and said:

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask Mr. Jia.

Although we still have three towns, unlike Andong Town which is basically intact, the population of Lisha Town is reduced to less than [-] due to the raging beast tide.

Moreover, almost the whole town needs to be rebuilt, which is not worthwhile compared with the loss of Anton Town! "

"The young master mentioned Anton Town at this time, do you want to...?" Mr. Jia asked carefully.

"I heard that the newly promoted Baron Su Yan was once a knight canonized by his father. In other words, our family is also interested in promoting him, and his foundation is not stable now.

If we propose a trade, exchanging Lisa Town for Andong Town, or adding some resources at the worst, sir, I feel we have a certain degree of certainty! "Hearing this, Mr. Jia smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master, the so-called time changes and trends change.Judging from the intelligence that had been transmitted previously, Baron Su Yan was already quite powerful.

Not only did he already have an "elite" elf with combat power, but he had also narrowly defeated the veteran nobleman - Baron Li Yang.

If the three "elite" elves said to be Lord Baron are still there, of course we can make a request!But now, he has the confidence to say "no" to us.

Also, the Baron had previously canonized him as a knight, but now he is also a baron at the same level.

In particular, he successfully resisted the beast tide in the Fluorescent Village, and it was reasonable for him to get rich loot!
Now, although our leader is still the strongest among the surrounding lords, we still have three towns to defend.

When we were strong before, of course this was our heritage and no one dared to covet it.But now that my muscles and bones have been injured, I have naturally become fat in the eyes of others! "

"In Mr. Nayi's opinion, are we going to suffer the disadvantage of being dumb?" Young Master Du Cheng said somewhat unconvinced!

"Master, although we still have many masters in Songyuan Town, we can't come up with one who can completely suppress the situation!
This is very dangerous for a big family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.Put it this way, even if we stabilize Anton Town immediately after the Baron's accident, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend the four towns with our current strength!

What I am worried about is waiting for the surrounding lords to recover their strength.With their ambition, it is impossible for them to ignore the three towns in our hands in troubled times!

On the contrary, although this Baron Su Yan came out of nowhere and rose very quickly, he also exposed the problem of weak foundation.

In my opinion, not only is it impossible for him to do anything to expand the territory in the short term, but even the existing territory will also be concerned by other established lords!
And I believe that Baron Su Yan himself knows this very well.Therefore, considering the current situation, he is our most suitable alliance partner! "

Hearing this, Du Cheng said doubtfully: "But my father mentioned this Baron Su Yan many times a few days ago. He said that he was a man of great luck! I regret giving him such an opportunity!
He also said that after the disaster in the secret realm is over, all forces should be united to isolate and suppress him.Moreover, I remember Mr. Jia also agreed with this! "

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jia smiled helplessly: "The Baron is right. Judging from the speed of Baron Su Yan's rise, he is indeed a man of great luck.

Especially since he's so young.It stands to reason that with a neighbor like this, anyone should nip him in the bud!
But unfortunately, we are also in crisis now. There are too many hungry wolves nearby, and he is the noble who is least likely to continue to annex territory! "

"In this case, we can't bring up the matter of Anton Town anymore!"

"Not only can we not mention it again, but we also have to send a copy of Songyuan Town, some information about Anton Town's business and the surrounding terrain, as a gift to make up for his promotion to Baron! We can also take advantage of the situation. Bring up the idea of ​​an alliance!”

…………

In Anton Town, Su Yan was listening to his chief aide, Qin Shang, analyze the surrounding forces!

"...

To sum up, judging from the current surrounding situation, making good friends with Songyuan Town is the safest way! "

After hearing this, Su Yan closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "After listening to Mr. Qin's analysis, my thinking has become much clearer!
However, this time we picked up Anton Town for almost nothing.As for the Du family, it would be better if a mature lord heads the family.

But I heard that Master Du is only 12 years old now. I wonder if he can see the form clearly! "

Qin Shang smiled and said: "On this point, Lord, you can rest assured that although Baron Dewey is dead, Songyuan Town still maintains a mature team.

I believe that with the knowledge of those veterans, they should know what is best for them. "

With that said, a guard reported: "Reporting to your lord, Baron, Songyuan Town has sent a congratulatory gift, saying it is a gift to make up for your lord's promotion not long ago!"
