Chapter 445: Control Areas Connected in a Line
The directional mutation of the wind cannon shrubs requires time. Chi Nan controls the mutation a little bit every day, and it is still very smooth. However, the negotiations with Keya are not so smooth.
Although the request made by Chi Nan seems insignificant, it is actually inconsistent with the rules. This is also what Chi Nan wants, as long as it can delay some time. From the negotiations, Chi Nan can also slowly analyze the situation in the south. Most areas in the south have been completely occupied by the eldest prince.
Most of the military supports the eldest prince, resulting in the power in the hands of the eldest prince being the most powerful in the entire kingdom. Even in some areas that cannot be controlled temporarily, those military teams still tend to be inclined to the eldest prince.
Keya was defeated in the battle in the south, which is why Keya must compromise. No matter in terms of combat effectiveness, Keya is not as good as the other party. If it were not for the help of the second princess, Keya might have almost collapsed.
Chi Nan himself did not expect that the strength comparison between the two princes would be so different. In particular, the eldest prince also borders many other kingdoms in the south, and needs to dispatch a certain amount of troops to suppress the other party, involving most of the troops. Otherwise, the entire kingdom might have been completely unified.
Now, the variables will depend on what will happen after winter. The more this happens, the more confident Chi Nan is.
"I didn't expect that the last incident was really secretly influenced by the eldest prince. The eldest prince seems to have a very domineering personality. After failing to win me over once, his attitude towards me was to resolutely eliminate me, without any dragging of feet."
"On the contrary, although the second prince seems to be mainly trying to win over and appease me on the surface, he will not let me go even if he has the ability. Sure enough, an uncontrolled noble cannot be tolerated in the eyes of any royal family."
Chi Nan knew that if he wanted to develop, he would definitely become a person who could not be controlled. What Chi Nan had to do was not only to gain a foothold in this world, he wanted to stand at the highest point and see the reality of this world. With the means to improve himself, how could Chi Nan give up? If he wanted to improve himself, it was essential to produce a large number of plants.
"In that case, let's see who will have the last laugh in the end."
The negotiations continued for more than a week, and the contact with the royal capital even used a communication-type magic circle. Otherwise, this time may be extended for a long time.
In the end, the two sides finally reached an agreement. In the name of Sophia, Chi Nan was temporarily made an honorary marquis, but he could only be a third-class marquis, which was also promoted by two levels, but this was only temporary. It was not certain what would happen in the future. Now there was no real king, and anyone's canonization was not recognized.
As for Sophia, it was just a name. Knowing that Sophia was here, Ke Ya had asked for them, but Chi Nan refused directly, and then there was no follow-up.
Next, the Black Stone Fortress temporarily became Chi Nan's territory, of course, it was also temporary. But neither side cared, because everyone knew that no one would recognize it.
The lord of the black market took his family to the capital. Perhaps after the capital was taken down, they would return with the army. Of course, it is also possible that the capital will win and they will come back.
Chi Nan would not care about all this. At this moment, the territories of Huangshaling and Hongshaling were integrated, but there were still two territories blocking the Black Stone Fortress. Chi Nan waved his hand and directly pulled a group of troops to station near the two territories, and then built a road in the middle, leading directly to both sides.
Although nominally this is still the original lord's territory, in fact, this place has completely become Chi Nan's control area. In this way, his control area is actually connected into a line.
Connecting north and south, with a vast area, such a large control area can already be compared with some dukedoms.
The two lords were dissatisfied, and they could only vent to other nobles, and there was nothing they could do.
"Humph, with our military control, the economic development of these two territories is very fast, are you still not satisfied with this?" Chi Nan replied disdainfully after seeing the two people's protest.
The two people could only swallow their teeth and blood, who made the other party so powerful? This is no longer a matter of who is right or wrong. The originally sheep-like Hongshaling has finally shown its fangs.
The two lords seemed to have become puppets, who could only make money, and all other powers disappeared. Even the civilians slowly stopped obeying their orders.
During this period, Chi Nan also transferred a large number of civilians from the Black Stone Fortress to Hongshaling, and a lot of civilians were needed to fill the rear. After living a better life, these civilians easily accepted their rule.
"My lord, is this really good? It may not be a big deal now, but I'm afraid there will be a backlash after a while." When Chi Nan finished the negotiation, he took the airship back to Hongshaling. After fooling around with Hemi for most of the day, Hemi lay in Chi Nan's arms, her face full of worry.
Chi Nan said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. Now they dare not touch us no matter how much I do. Besides, no matter how much I tolerate, they will still attack us in the end. This result is destined since the airship appeared."
The airship is an armed force that they cannot control. They can either destroy themselves or completely control themselves. There is no way to change this. Whether it is large-scale air transportation or combat power that can compete with the Griffin Legion, they dare not underestimate it. Now, it is just the most chaotic moment.
Hemi La is not stupid. She understood it after a little thought. "But in this case, it will also give them an excuse."
Chi Nan smiled: "You can find an excuse at will. It just depends on whether you have an idea and whether the timing is right. As long as I can keep them balanced, there will be no problem. According to the agreement, just sell them more plant weapons. The eldest prince can withdraw more troops at any time, but he needs to be restrained. It doesn't matter if Keya has more plant weapons."
Chi Nan plans to temporarily control the balance of power between the two princes. "We still need time here. Give me enough time, I won't be afraid. It's just right, I want to explore the world over there during this time."
"It's too dangerous, can we not go? If not, just destroy the space channel."
Chi Nan smiled: "The space channel is not so easy to destroy, and a world is also a huge treasure. Don't worry, I will definitely come back before the winter is over. They will definitely not make any big moves this winter."
