Chapter 630: Chapter 404: The Undead Army Arrives, Castle Layout and Defense
Using the Heart of the Lord to relocate the territory meant only the Lord’s Mansion could be moved; all other buildings had to be abandoned.
Of course, if you relocated voluntarily, you could first demolish all the buildings and recover some of the materials used in their construction.
However, they would need to be transported from the original site to the new territory remotely.
“No problem, as long as you need us, we will absolutely obey orders!”
As long as the LV10 Lord’s Mansion was not destroyed, the other buildings could be discarded.@@novelbin@@
After all, becoming a Lord in the Sea of Realms, the main resource consumption was focused on the upgrades of the Lord’s Mansion.
Other buildings, even with construction and subsequent upgrades, consumed just that much.
The only regret was that some Lords had one or more special buildings, and after demolition and recycling, it was uncertain if the blueprints for those special buildings could be recovered.
“Very well, here are 21 Hearts of the Lord. I give you 12 hours to handle affairs in your current territory, then relocate your Lord’s Mansion outside this castle, arranging it around the four walls.”
Only by fully controlling Authority Town could they control the entire Area No. 10086.
But Zi Liyuan did not want to divide his forces too much, as this would fragment his power and possibly result in being defeated one by one by those Alien Lords.
Therefore, he planned to integrate the Blue Star Lords in Area No. 10086, recruiting those willing to ally with him and relocating them all outside Authority Town.
Only this way could their forces be concentrated to jointly develop various resources in the entire area.
As for those Blue Star Lords unwilling to ally with him, they could either leave Area No. 10086 on their own or become his slain enemies!
Zi Liyuan did not plan to offer them a third option!
Neutrality, what neutrality?
For a ruler, there was no such thing as neutrality, either they served him, or they were enemies.
Enemies, according to Zi Liyuan, were best when exterminated completely!
Seeing Zi Liyuan casually throwing 21 Hearts of the Lord onto the conference table, the Lords looked as if they had seen a ghost, filled with disbelief.
The Heart of the Lord was not unfamiliar to those present, and some even had one or two quietly lying in their Space Columns.
But casually tossing out 21 of them was something they had never seen; it wasn’t just extravagance, it was downright audacious!
“Territory affairs can be resolved quickly, but we would like to ask My Lord to send a team to help transport various resources and subjects from our territories.”
Each building in their territories, aside from the Lord’s Mansion, was not worth even one Heart of the Lord.
At the same time, these Lords understood that this was yet another test.
Holding a Heart of the Lord didn’t necessarily mean relocating to this castle; it could be to any location in New World No. 99.
However, the Lords present did not have strong backing in the Sea of Realms, so even if they fled with the Lord’s Mansion, they had no confidence of rising amidst the Human Race’s civil war.
From the start, these Lords thought of allying with a faction of the Blue Star Human Race, preferably one like the royal family of the Four Ancient Empires.
Unfortunately, they had no qualification to associate with such superpowers.
After weighing their options, Zi Liyuan was their best choice for allegiance.
Once they were determined, they naturally had to show their loyalty, willing to hand over all resources in their territories, submit their amassed forces, and become Zi Liyuan’s enforcers.
Zi Liyuan had them move their Lord’s Mansions outside Authority Town to guard the castle, didn’t he?
At this juncture, with the Monster Siege at their doorstep, it was undoubtedly a place of great danger, but it also represented their opportunity to earn Zi Liyuan’s trust!
Each Lord silently stepped forward, took a Heart of the Lord, then cupped his fists at Zi Liyuan one by one before walking out of the Council Hall.
One by one, they moved quickly, heading back to their territories after leaving the city.
“Master, aren’t you afraid they will take the things and run?”
Dilys leaned her chin on Zi Liyuan’s shoulder, breathed softly into his ear, and spoke gently.
“Buy a prized horse for a thousand gold coins. To secure the position of Grand Lord, recruiting Blue Star Lords is essential. This is an opportunity, but it’s uncertain how many are truly determined.”
Area No. 10086 was so vast, with many resource points, it was impossible for him to develop it all by himself.
Only by recruiting enough Blue Star Lords, with many people developing resources, could he swiftly upgrade the level of his Lord’s Mansion.
As he progressed further, the materials required for upgrades increased, and relying solely on himself to acquire them would take indefinitely unless he constantly plundered from other Lords.
But recruiting a large group of Lords to serve him would result in a rapid collection of a massive amount of resources.
The only concern was the issue of loyalty.
For now, the Blue Star Lords viewed the Alien Lords as an external threat, and instances of betrayal were rare.
However, once the Alien Lords were dealt with, a civil war among the Blue Star Lords would be a significant problem.
At that time, defects or traitors were highly likely.
Therefore, while these recruited Blue Star Lords were temporarily trustworthy, they could not be fully relied on, as a measure of caution was necessary.
As the Blue Star Lords left, Zi Liyuan also exited the Council Hall.
In front of the central hall of the castle was a vast square, perfect for summoning the space gate.
What do you think?
