full-time lord

Chapter 386
When the reminiscence was over, Afula and the others saw the soldiers of the legions behind Zhao Feng.Seeing these orcs, elves and goblins, they showed a look of surprise.

"these are?"

Seeing the worried expressions on their faces, Zhao Feng said: "Don't worry, these are my friends. Next, they will also become part of the territory."

"Okay, welcome."

Hearing his words, Aphra nodded slightly to these warriors of various races, and then said to Zauri: "Father, quickly share some of the food we brought with them. I think, you all You must have worked hard. In front, we have prepared several roasted whole lambs."

Seeing Afula's performance, Zhao Feng could tell that now she seemed to be the leader of this desert territory, very authoritative.

Even her father, Zauri was convinced when he heard her give orders.As for the others, they also followed Afra's lead.

It seems that in the past two years, that young girl has begun to take on heavier tasks.

When Aphra and the others handed over food and fresh drinking water, the original guarded hearts on the faces of the warriors of these tribes disappeared instantly.

They found that these human beings were different from what they had imagined, they were very kind and did not discriminate against them.

"Thank you, thank you."

Although Aphra and the others don't know much about the language of the orcs, they know that the warriors of these races are grateful to them.Seeing this scene, they also let go of their worries.

In the past few hundred years, basically no other races have been seen on the mainland.At the beginning, the war between humans and various races caused many stories to circulate on the mainland.

Whether it is humans or other races, there are still some gaps.

However, after the scene just now, it can be seen that the vigilance between them is lowering, and they are no longer so tense.Because they found that they still get along very well with each other.

"This is Oliqi, one of the three great gods, and the dean of the Imperial Academy of Magic." As he spoke, Zhao Feng introduced the people around him to the people in the desert territory.

"This is Dan Kun, one of the three war gods."

Hearing Dan Kun's introduction of these two people, Afra and the others showed a look of reverence, and respectfully saluted the two people.

"If Dean Gordon hears this news, he must be very happy." At this time, Afra said happily: "People in our holy city are very curious about the three gods of law and the three gods of war, and plan to invite They wrote books and said so that future generations can understand their thoughts."

Since the three major problems were solved in the Holy City, it began to prosper gradually.

As the dean, Gordon is thirsty for talents, attaches great importance to education and recruiting talents, and encourages more fresh blood to join the holy city, so that they can enrich their learning skills and invest in the construction of the desert territory.

One of the most meaningful things they have done is to invite famous and talented people to write books and talk about it, hoping to record this knowledge so that it can be passed on.

"That's right, a very good idea. I think Dan Kun and Olic are very willing to do this!" At this time, Zhao Feng said to the two with a smile.

Olic nodded with a smile, "I'd be happy to do that."

However, Dan Kun shook his head again and again and said: "I'm a rough man, how can I write a book about it? If you want me to be like this, you might as well kill me."

Aphra replied with a smile: "Don't worry, we have special recorders in the holy city. You just need to tell your experience, and they will help you sort out a book."

"Really, this is more or less the case, then it will work!" Dan Kun heard the news and said nothing more.

At this time, Afra pointed to the two beautiful girls beside Zhao Feng and said, "Master, this is probably the confidante you met outside, right?"

When she said this, Aphra also had a jealous expression on her face.

Zhao Feng didn't care about this. Hearing this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Wrong, this is Princess Elaine of the Empire. Your Highness Hazel, the other one is..."

Hearing that Zhao Feng wanted to reveal his identity, Alice said first: "I am Alice, the master's personal servant. Nice to meet you, Aphra."

"Princess of the Empire?" Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Afra and Zauri turned to Elaine.Hazel's attitude suddenly changed a lot, and he didn't even say hello.

From their eyes, one can see the deep hostility.

"Are you the lord's personal servant? He didn't trick you into it. I didn't expect him to be really blessed." On the contrary, Aphra became more enthusiastic towards Alice.

Elaine.Hazel has always been a proud person. Although she doesn't care about the status of the princess, she takes the dignity of the royal family very seriously.

Looking at the people dressed up by these desert tribes, they actually ignored the authority of her princess, Elaine.A look of dissatisfaction appeared on Hazel's face.

"You untouchables, why don't you be polite when you see this princess?"

Annoyed, she asked Aphra and the people behind her loudly, "Don't you guys know how to abide by noble etiquette?"

Hearing her words, the atmosphere at the scene became tense.

Both Zauri and the cavalry team behind him were facing Elaine.Hazel glared.Even Zhao Feng frowned, looking at Yi Lian.Hazel showed a dissatisfied look.

"In my domain, there are no pariahs and no princesses. To me, these people are my friends and my brothers."

Zhao Feng said word by word: "Respecting them means respecting me."

Elaine.Hazel wanted to get angry, but when he saw Zhao Feng's serious appearance, he knew he was really angry. Hearing this, she said weakly: "But, they have prejudices against me. Why do they treat me when I just met them? attitude, as if there is hatred!"

Their attitude towards Aphra, Elaine.Hazel felt wronged.In fact, she didn't want to put on any princess airs at all, but she just felt a little unbalanced in her heart.

Saw Elaine.Hazel looked aggrieved, Zhao Feng said to Afra: "What's going on?"

From the attitude of Afra and the others, it can be seen that these desert tribes have a lot of dissatisfaction and anger towards the Mundra royal family, almost to the point of hatred.

"You don't know, Lord Lord. When you were away for the past two years, the group of vampires in Mundra often borrowed money and food from us, charged heavy taxes at every turn, and even deducted our goods for military expenses. .”

At this time, Zauri with a straightforward personality said: "Besides, they often come to harass us, always thinking about our glass workshop. If it weren't for the concern that the master is the marshal of the empire, I guess they would have already started to snatch the desert territory In the past two years, we have been patient, so nothing major happened. But to be honest, we are full of fire in our hearts, waiting for you to come back and help us out."

Afra said: "In the past two years, the royal family has gone too far, making us very uncomfortable. Roland III even wanted our desert territory to become a part of the empire again. He told us, you and the princess are in love Xiangyue, just wait for him to nod. When the time comes, he promises to marry the princess to you, and you will re-dedicate the desert territory to the king. He said, when the time comes, you and the royal family will become a family, and there will be no distinction between each other. Yes. At that time, you will be his son-in-law, and you will also have the right to inherit the kingdom. You can assist his daughter and make her the new king. And you, will be the prince of the empire, governing the country's military and political power, and don't care This little territory."

Hearing what they said, Zhao Feng seemed to be able to foresee that in the past two years, the empire probably had a very hard fight with the desert territory because of military expenses and the like.

Zhao Feng has not been in the desert territory for the past two years, but Jerry.Evans has been fighting for years, and there is basically no important person in charge in the entire desert territory.

Roland III, who was mired in the quagmire of war, wanted to extract some money from the desert territory that had been making money continuously for war or other purposes, which was actually very normal.

But in the eyes of Afra and the desert tribes, this is blatant plunder and robbery, and it is not a legitimate behavior at all.

The desert territory has grown from scratch, from desolation at the beginning to prosperity later, the Mundra Empire did not help much, and collected a lot of taxes.

Every step of the development of this intermediate territory is infused with the hard work of these desert tribes and the foresighted wisdom of Zhao Feng, the lord at the beginning.

Now, in the absence of the lord Zhao Feng, Roland III wants to take back this prosperous land and grab the fruits of victory.

This is unacceptable to the people of the desert tribe.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will not abandon you." Zhao Feng said: "Even the position of the prince of the empire cannot be exchanged for the desert territory. I will always be with you."

At this time, Zhao Feng said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, the desert territory belongs to you, not to others."

Zhao Feng also guessed some of Roland III's despicable thoughts.He wanted to win him over through marriage and tie himself to his warship.

Elaine.Hazel is a bargaining chip, and his desert territory and himself are also a bargaining chip.

In his opinion, such a huge bargaining chip should be enough to make Zhao Feng's heart flutter.However, Zhao Feng simply disdains the position of an imperial prince.

In Zhao Feng's view, this is too ridiculous.

Now he even has the strength to aspire to the entire continent, like the position of a little prince of the Mundra Empire, how can he satisfy his ideas!
Elaine.Hazel finally understood why they treated him so badly.It turned out that they regarded themselves as a bargaining chip for Roland III.

Thinking of the fact that Roland III promised to marry Zhao Feng without even discussing it with her, she felt extremely disappointed in her heart.

"Don't worry, I won't be a bargaining chip. Even if I marry Dak Evans, I won't ask for anything." Elaine.Hazel said to Aphra: "I am me. No matter who I marry, I will be Elaine Hazel, not an imperial princess."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's hurry up and eat the roast lamb. If we continue talking like this, the roast lamb will be burnt." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Dan Kun said quickly.

Zhao Feng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go eat roasted lamb!"

As he spoke, he pulled Yi Lian, who had red eyes.Hazel said: "After going back this time, you have to continue to barbecue for me. Last time, I ate your palace barbecue, but the memory is still fresh!"

After hearing what Zhao Feng said, Elaine.Hazel thought of the days when he and Zhao Feng got along for the first time, and felt warm in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, I will show my hand when the time comes!"

Alice heard Zhao Feng's words, and said: "This time, I have to show you, master!"

Zhao Feng praised Elaine.Regarding Hazel's grilling skills, Alice showed a trace of jealousy, and immediately said that she had to show it too.

"Okay, I'll eat what you baked when the time comes, okay!"

After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he said to Afra: "Okay, there is still some time to ride, tell me about the development of the desert territory in the past two years!"

Through the performance just now, Zhao Feng knew that although Afra was not the nominal leader of the desert territory, she was now exercising the duties of the leader.

"Hmph, you lord, you are too irresponsible. You run around all day, but let me, a child laborer, work hard for you every day. It's really hard work!"

Regarding Zhao Feng's running around every day, Afula was full of complaints, and complained directly: "How are you going to compensate me!"

"Okay, it's all my fault." Zhao Feng said: "You can make up for it however you want. Otherwise, I will make you the leader of the desert territory and let you manage this territory?"

"This is your territory, not mine." Afra shook her head and said, "Besides, if this continues, my life's major events will be delayed. People say that I am your housekeeper."

When mentioning this, Aphra couldn't help showing a hint of shyness on her face.

"How old are you, you only think about lifelong events!" Zhao Feng really couldn't understand Afra's words.

Afra said: "I am fifteen this year. Many girls my age are married and have children. I am already considered an old girl in the tribe."

"Too... a bit exaggerated!"

However, remembering that the desert tribes did get married very early, Zhao Feng could only shake his head helplessly and said: "Okay, if your life-long event is delayed, then I will be responsible for helping you find a good husband, okay!"

"What kind is satisfactory, I want you to be my husband, are you willing?" Afra stared at Zhao Feng, and directly asked a hot question.

Most of the women in the desert tribe dare to love and hate, and speak straightforwardly.Afula had a good impression of Zhao Feng, so she directly expressed her thoughts at this moment.

"I know that a big man like you won't have only one wife. When the time comes, I just need to be one of your wives."

Afra said: "In this case, I can justifiably help you manage your territory. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a housekeeper for nothing?"

"You...you are still a little younger..." Zhao Feng looked at Aphra's wild charm with a hint of charm and a hot figure, and understood that she was already a big girl, but he still had some scruples about her age.In his opinion, 15 years old is really too young.

"Okay, how about when I'm older, can you marry me?" At this moment, Aphra gave an answer directly, a little aggressively.

It seems that if she doesn't get a clear answer from Zhao Feng today, she won't give up.

"Okay, let's talk about it later, we will talk about it when the time comes. For now, let's get along with each other first!" At this moment, Zhao Feng's mind was still a bit overwhelmed.

Aphra understands that she shouldn't push her too hard, and when she heard this, she showed a happy expression and said, "Okay, don't go back on your word, I'll wait for you for another three years."

After finishing speaking, she began to introduce Zhao Feng to the development of the desert territory in recent years.

Due to the development of the glass and mirror business, the desert territory has gradually become a new commercial center.More and more businessmen choose to come here for trade.

All of a sudden, the desert territory was full of businessmen from all over the world.

These merchants prospered the economy of the desert territory, which gradually increased the population here.As the population increases, the number of buildings here will also increase and become more and more prosperous, and it will no longer be desolate as before.

In addition to economic development, the desert territory has made great progress in greening.In the past two years, the residents of the desert territory have never forgotten the greening.

Planting trees and flowers has become the most important thing in the desert territory.In the past two years, they have not relaxed their work in this area.

Thanks to the hard work of the residents of the desert territory, the [-]-mile desert surrounding the sandcastle has gradually turned into an oasis, a garden-like place.

Of course, this also has great credit for the water element Eunice.This water elemental master has become much stronger in the past few years, and the water produced has made the drinking water in the desert much more plentiful.

In addition to these two points, the development of talent pools in the desert has also made great progress.With the help of the holy city, the literate population in the desert territory increased from less than half to more than 90.00%.

With the improvement of the cultural level and the continuous advocacy of the holy city, the learning atmosphere in the entire desert territory has become much stronger, and there are scholars everywhere.

In addition to this, the defense force in the original desert territory is also constantly growing.Originally, there was only Jerry in the desert territory.The three hundred soldiers sent by Evans.

Afterwards, following major battles such as the elimination of Gale Wind and Sand Pirates, the number of soldiers increased quite a bit.Later, the Vikings and other tribes joined in, increasing the population of the desert territory and increasing the number of fighters available for training.How many soldiers there are now is beyond Zhao Feng's imagination.

"Guess, how many fighters do we have now?" At this time, Afra asked Zhao Feng, and after seeing Zhao Feng shaking his head, she proudly said: "Ten thousand!"

"Now we have [-] fighters who can fight!"

Hearing Afula's words, Zhao Feng was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Ten thousand, so many?" He didn't expect that the number of soldiers would increase so much after he left for two years.
