Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

"Have you been there before? How many years do you need to go?"

Ron still used more honorifics for Victor. After all, the former mayor was kind to him, and most of the townsfolk in Frome also admired the old mayor and respected him very much. Necessary.

"I've been there before, no need to bother, haha." Victor took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the folds of his neck. Although it had just warmed up a little, his body was already a little hot. "You can only go there when you officially join. Just one visit is enough. Usually there will be old members asking some questions, making some demands, and discussing some policies - or there may not be anything at all, just to declare the alliance's charter. In the future, whenever a new ruler takes office, he will go there once a year. , that’s probably it.”

“I went three months after taking over Frome Town.”

"What do the questions and demands you just mentioned include? And why might there be none?"

Victor showed a thoughtful expression: "This... depends on the alliance's assessment of you and your territory. Generally speaking, if a territory that is considered short-lived and cannot be sustained for a long time joins the alliance, the old members Usually they won’t say much to them, and they will be more inclined to reach short-term, surface-level agreements rather than long-term, in-depth cooperation to ensure the stability of the alliance itself.”

"Do you think I will be treated like this?"

"Well, it's hard to say," Victor hesitated, "Your Excellency, I don't want to hide it from you, it won't do me any good. As far as I know, the first mayor of Frome Town to join the alliance was treated like this. The cold reception, if it were not for the hard work of the subsequent predecessors, Fromm Town would not be able to truly integrate into the city-state alliance. "

"Although I wrote to them and repeatedly stated that I wanted to completely inherit everything in Fromm Town and that it was a stable city-state that could exist for a long time, I can't guarantee that they would really believe it."

"I say this because I hope you can calm down a little when you are treated unfairly and never be impulsive. After all... they are not Carolina."

Victor cautiously glanced at Gilennis next to him. Of course, he didn't know that Gilennis had briefly served as Lord of Carolina for a period, but he probably had some idea of ​​the moon elf's strength.

If there really is a falling out, Ron will have to do another "big job" like the previous attack on Carolina. The outcome is secondary, and the townspeople who moved with him will...

Victor Fromm certainly knows that the current main military power of Delusion comes from a hobgoblin warlord who commands a large number of goblin-like races, but no matter how many goblins there are, they cannot grow out of the soil - they must grow out. Time - if there are not enough soldiers, who else can fill the vacancies if not the citizens?

Delusion Land is not Carolina, and there are a large number of slaves that can be used as stuffing babies.

"You don't have to worry about this," Ron was amused by Victor. "Do you think I'm a war madman or something? I won't do that. The current delusional land is not very stable and can win the city-state alliance. Recognition and sponsorship are the results I want to see most.”

"That's good, that's good..." Victor breathed a sigh of relief, and just as he was about to sit back on the chair, he heard Ron ask again.

"You just said there were two things?"

"Two...oh yes, yes, it is indeed two things," Victor nodded quickly, "The other thing is related to Yungang..."

"No." Upon hearing "Yungang", Ron immediately rolled his eyes, waved and turned around with his hands behind his back.

Ever since he sent the prisoners and corpses of Yungang thugs back to Yungang, he has been receiving constant threats of attack and criticism from the Holt family during this period. The contents of the letter are basically the same as two parts: releasing Evandel; And if not, the Yungang Heavenly Soldiers will arrive soon, vowing to put an end to the dream.

Ron couldn't do the previous part even if he wanted to. The guy was taken to purgatory by the devil, and he was still pretending to be deaf and dumb in purgatory. Where could he find the scar-faced Evander? As for the latter part...

Many of the tribes on the edge of the Gobi Desert have not left. Instead of the previous centaurs, horses and orcs, they "beg" from passers-by with more violent methods. If the Holt family is willing to come, then come.

Ron was here to "sit back and wait" - sitting on the chair and waiting for the intruder to die suddenly.

What's the big deal about just sending a verbal threat? Anyway, since that time until now, many caravans have come to Yungang, and he has never seen even half of the Holt family.

"Uh, you misunderstood, this time we are not from the Holt family," Victor said quickly, "You must also know that there are three main big families in Yungang, right? This time we are from the other two families. messenger."

"And what's different from the Holt family is that this time it's members of the two families who are here, not business travelers who are spreading the news."

"Milkwei, Bengtsen?" Ron raised his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, they should be these two names. "I have had some dealings with people from the Bengtsen family before, and it was not a pleasant experience. Memories.”

Everyone looked at the halfling priest standing aside. Bunnie pursed her lips and shook her head slightly when she looked at Ron: "I'm fine. They must have really come here for something..."

"I'm afraid it's not a good thing," Ivy sneered, "Do you still remember how Evander and his follower came out? It didn't take long for the Bengson family's bandits to suffer. This time Holt The family has suffered a loss, do they think they can do it again?”

"It's always like this between the three major families in Yungang," Victor said with a wry smile, "Sir Ron, please don't think too much. I came to explain this matter to you because I have some friendship with the head of the Bengtson family. I definitely don't mean to overstep my authority. If you think they are not good people, I will go to them and ask them to leave."

"You have already slapped the Bengtson family in the face before, there is no need to do it again... Let them come quietly and leave quietly..."

"No, I think I'd better meet them," Ron lowered his head and thought for a while, "Milkway The family doesn't show up often, right?"

"They're just not active on land, they don't pay much attention to the affairs on the ground," Victor said, "In Yungang and the sea, their influence is still not small, and they are also quite active."

"Suddenly coming to a place like Wangxiang where you can't see the sea at all, I think there is really something going on," Ron nodded, "Then arrange a time to meet, and the Bengtson family will come with you. Please remind the Bengtson family for me: if you are here to discuss business, it would be best, if not... I hope they understand that what I said before was not just talk." (End of this chapter)
