Chapter 647: Chapter 40 The Foundation of Emperors, Hegemony Can Be Achieved_3

Compared to that, it’s still a bit easier to wrest villages from the hands of monsters.

Seeing that most people supported the idea, Dragon Ascension didn’t waste any more words: "Since that’s the case, let’s go the King’s Way. Whether it’s the King’s Way or the hegemonic way, the urgent matter is to recruit players. We still have too few people right now.

Once we have more people, it’ll be convenient to do anything. First, reclaim some villages as our territory, pacify the refugees, establish an army. With the army, it’ll be more convenient to go to war when the time comes. We can let the small soldiers be cannon fodder and let the players be responsible for commanding. This can reduce unnecessary casualties.

I’ve already arranged for Si Hai to recruit troops in Beiming State, but he has too few people and can only manage Chuyun City of the State Mansion in Beiming State.

He can’t take care of the other towns.

The urgent matter is to first determine our development route for our territory and choose a place as the capital.

Both the King’s Way and the hegemonic way can acquire towns, but the methods of acquisition are different. The hegemonic way is simpler, just apply for a siege, and then take over the city to complete it, needing to defeat the current NPC troops of the town. It’s a military takeover.

The King’s Way is a bit more troublesome. You need to do various missions in the map where the town is located, reclaim villages, eradicate monster forces, save refugees, basically all good deeds.

This will increase the Public Sentiment Value, and once it reaches 100%, local officials are very likely to choose to defect and actively join the Dragon Soaring Country’s camp. It’s akin to peaceful evolution.

If we’re going the King’s Way, it’s basically this one method.

This gave Xiao Jie some surprise.

"President, won’t the State Governor obstruct us in winning over the public and acquiring towns?"

Dragon Ascension replied: "No, the State Governor’s duty is to guard the territory and secure the populace, not to fight for supremacy. The State Governor has no power to rule, only power to manage. As long as my reputation is high enough, perhaps the State Governor might directly pledge allegiance to us."

Zilong Unrivaled suddenly said: "I understand now, the King’s Way is like Liu Bei earning Xuzhou, the State Governor is like Tao Qian, as long as we act honorably and with a high enough reputation, the State Governor will directly hand over territory to us.

The hegemonic way is like being Cao Cao, conquering with force. Only when you conquer it does it count, the strong are respected."

Xiao Jie thought to himself that Zilong Unrivaled’s summary was quite on point.

Dragon Ascension said: "Correct, that’s how it is. Therefore, our first piece of the map we develop is very important. After all, it’s our first territory and the initial main base. We need to consider subsequent development issues. Which city do you think is better for the first launch?"

Dragon Control replied: "That definitely has to be our Sky Water Town. Backed by mountains and near water, the terrain is impregnable. As long as we can take down Tianshui City, we can stand in an invincible position."

Little White Dragon said: "Give it a rest, Tianshui City is a broken place with no resources. If we establish a nation there, we’ll be left hungry for resources to support an army. We’re going to rely on NPCs to fight wars later, so the richer, the better.

Our Luoyang Town is the foundation of kings and tyrants. The Luoyang Plain around us is fertile for hundreds of miles, filled with villages. As long as we take it down later, our grain yield will definitely not be low. With food comes population, and by then we can easily muster a strong army to push through."

However, someone disagreed. It was Bhahamut—originally, Ba Tian Kuanglong was the Sub-Branch Leader, but Bhahamut became the Sub-Branch Leader after Ba Tian Kuanglong was killed.

"Luoyang City is located on the plains with no defensible terrain. In case we fight with other guilds, we could easily be surrounded.

Tianshui City, though strategically located, is lacking in resources. I think it’s better to choose our Three Mountains City instead. Three Mountains City is situated among three mountain peaks, a hub of transportation, and commercially prosperous. Just collecting taxes from there would be profitable, and the terrain is also very strategic. It also conveniently blocks the main road to Longhua State. By occupying this territory, we can advance or retreat as needed, truly a geographically advantageous location."

"No, our Gold Bull City is the best..."

Everyone proposed their own ideas, especially the Sub-Branch Leaders of the Six Towns, each of them proposing to make their own territory the capital, the first launch city...

The reason was not difficult to understand; if their Sub-Branch’s location became the capital, then they would effectively become the mayor of the Imperial Capital, certainly ranking much higher than an ordinary Sub-Branch Leader...

However, Dragon Ascension seemed to have had a plan for a while.

"Everyone’s ideas are good, but you all have neglected one issue, and that is Beiming State. Our current main goal is to take down the lands of two states. Currently, Fengyin State is almost entirely our territory, which is naturally simple to develop.

But Beiming State is still rather unfamiliar to us. If we want to take it down quickly, the best way is to set the capital within the boundaries of Beiming State. Use this as a base point to quickly radiate across the entire Beiming State.

Therefore, the first-launch town must be situated in Beiming State."

I think Qiansong Town is not bad, located right at the border between the two states, and also the place of Dragon Soaring’s rise. Using Qiansong Town as the capital and developing northward, taking down Beiming State will be as easy as flipping one’s hand.

I will lead the Main Force First Team up north, while selecting experts from the Six Towns Sub-Branch to ensure sufficient manpower.

The first step is to establish Sub-Branches in various towns of Beiming State, recruit personnel with all our strength, then gather the main force around Qiansong Town to start earning public favor and the King’s Path Value.

Strive to obtain the first territory within half a month and then gradually expand northward...

"President, what about Fengyin State in the meantime?" Hong Fu Qitian suddenly asked.

"Fengyin State is equally important. Although the meat is ours, it’s not yet in the bag until it’s eaten. I’ve decided to arrange a Vice President here to take full charge of the management and expansion, and at the same time establish the Main Force Second Team.

Since we will be drawing a large number of experts to go north, the task here will be heavier. Fortunately, Fengyin State is our old nest, so there shouldn’t be any big problems. We just need a group of experts to act as the main force, otherwise monster nests won’t be easy to take down.

In the future, the Main Force First Team will open up and expand the territory in Beiming State, while the Main Force Second Team will take down all the territories of Fengyin State. Once we have the lands of the two states in hand, our hegemony can thus be established."

Hong Fu Qitian praised: "That’s a great idea. But who will serve as the Second Team Leader?"

Xiao Jie listened with interest. These two seemed to be coordinating like a double act, and he couldn’t help but wonder if they had already planned everything?

So who will be appointed as the Second Team Leader?

Dragon Control? Zilong Unrivaled? Bhahamut?

They all didn’t seem very reliable.

Actually, Longteng Sihai would be more suitable. After all, he’s the Vice Team Leader. However, this person counts as the main tank of the main force, and he’s definitely going to follow the President to conquer in Beiming State.

Of the remaining people, it seems they all lack a bit of flair.

But then, Dragon Ascension suddenly looked over at him, "Brother Sui Feng, are you interested in taking on the role of the Second Team Leader?"
