Chapter 975: Chapter 591: Moving Forward Again_3

"She was disfigured, wasn’t she? Afflicted with Arms’ plague corpse poison, her face made anyone who saw it shudder."

"Your news is really outdated. Before Efanso was taken, her plague corpse poison had already been neutralized, and it was done personally by the commander of the Conqueror Army."

"No wonder then. Not just a city, even a whole country could easily be brought under control for such a beauty, as long as she is willing to spread her legs."

"Stop talking nonsense here. If the commander of the Conqueror Army was really as disreputable as you guys make him out to be, would we need to be so passive, so embarrassed? We would just need to select a bunch of beauties to send to him, as long as he likes them, even real Abyssal Succubi would not be hard to obtain."

"It’s just a joke, just a joke. No need to take it so seriously."

"A joke also needs the right occasion and place. Do you really think the Conqueror Army is blind and deaf, unable to see us? We are here only because they allow us to be. If they heard us disparaging their supreme commander, how many heads do you think we’d have left to chop? If you want to die, don’t drag me into it."

"Captain is right. We were reckless about this matter. Let’s focus on the mission, everyone shut up."

The various voices of conjecture surrounded the Conqueror Army, guessing their strength was one thing, actually seeing it was another.

The Conqueror Army, setting forth from Efanso, took a full three hours just to leave the city, their troops stretching nearly ten kilometers. The sounds of people shouting, horses neighing, and cows bellowing interwove together, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

Although there were many people and vehicles, they were well-organized and followed strict orders.

Anyone with a bit of military knowledge would feel a chill at such a sight; the Conqueror Army was truly formidable, a bona fide army, not merely a group of migrants.

Ah...

Watching the vast ranks of the Conqueror Army gradually moving away, Yeshandalah, now officially the City Lord of Efanso, couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"They’re leaving. City Lord, you should be relieved, so why the sigh?" Daphne, standing beside Yeshandalah, asked with a smile.

As Gaven’s spokesperson in Efanso and the Earthbound Knight of the Efanso Shadow Territory, Daphne would need to interact with Yeshandalah for a long time since their interests were tied together. The cunning Daphne would, of course, make full use of this to develop the Conqueror Guild and the Black Wing Guild.

Yeshandalah was aware of the former but not the latter. The Secret Guild was called secret because it was highly confidential; it wouldn’t be secret if everyone knew about it.

"It’s just moving from one extreme to another, just not quite used to it yet." Yeshandalah pointed towards Efanso and added, "And madam’s words are a bit too formal. During this time, I’ve learned a lot from Lord Gaven and your army. I wish you could stay longer."

The ’extreme’ she referred to was Efanso transitioning from extremely crowded and bustling to extremely vacant and quiet. The streets were sparse with people, each face pale and dull, severely lacking vitality, and these were her future citizens. With the vibrant Conqueror Army for comparison, it was no wonder she felt emotionally stirred.

"City Lord really has a way with words," Daphne laughed heartily, not delving into the truthfulness of Yeshandalah’s words since it held no significance. "What are your next steps?"

"Massively recruiting migrants to replenish the population of Efanso is a top priority. So many people have left all at once, causing problems in the operation of the entire city," Yeshandalah answered without hesitation.

"Do you have any effective methods?" Daphne asked further.

"Discount policies, recruitment advertisements; we’ve already done what we can, now we just wait for them to come on their own," Yeshandalah asked humbly, "Does madam have any good suggestions?"

She dared not underestimate this Dwarves Elf, not simply because she was the envoy left by Gaven, but also because, through their interactions these past few days, her extraordinary intelligence and capabilities had been revealed, embodying a strong semblance of Gaven’s own style.

This proved she was a direct disciple of Gaven, having followed him for a long time and being heavily influenced by him, even her thinking and actions showing convergence.

"City Lord, your methods are too passive," adapted to Gaven’s decisive and proactive style, racing against time, Daphne found it hard to get used to a passive approach, "you should take the initiative. For instance, the towns of Ilip and Pross are good entry points; their main industries have been dismantled by us, many people there should be unemployed or semi-unemployed, and could easily be attracted here.

Moreover, your recruitment ads are too narrow and the methods too outdated.

You’ve seen the previous method of advertising against Necromancers, don’t you know to ask Lord Gaven to customize some Phantom Advertising Stones and send advertising personnel to distribute them everywhere?

And don’t just focus on the Giant Dragon Coast; every city in Green Wilderness, living points below Sunset Mountain Range, even Baldur’s Gate could be targets for placement of recruitment ads.

Don’t think that big cities won’t have migrants; on the contrary, it’s places like these where population movement is the greatest and most frequent. Many may not adapt to life in a big city and have no choice but to leave, and they are potential citizens for Efanso."

Clearly, Daphne came prepared, having done her homework well before taking over the task from Gaven.

After taking over, she positioned herself precisely in Efanso, aiming to secure roles as a counsel and minister of internal affairs from Yeshandalah’s hands, using Efanso’s resources to develop the Conqueror Guild.

Of course, to ensure long-term development, she couldn’t be a parasite, endlessly eroding the interests of Efanso City, but rather focusing on mutual benefits, letting the Conqueror Guild, in turn, drive Efanso’s economy and development.
