Chapter 977: Chapter 592 Dark Castle_2

The Conqueror Guild itself had a resource tilt from Gaven’s side, and if Efanso’s home-field advantage were added, the development speed naturally doubled.

Upon hearing this, Yeshandalah smiled and said, "Madam, how can you be so wise at times, and yet so muddled at others? Did I not tacitly agree to this by still asking you to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Efanso, even after knowing you were going to establish the Conqueror Guild? Whether it is you who are getting the better deal, or us at Efanso, is still up in the air."

"Ha..." Daphne couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Right, I got this wrong, cooperation for mutual gain, this is the tone that Lord Gaven set from the start, it seems the City Lord has a better understanding of this than me."

Daphne wanted to leverage Efanso’s home-field advantage, and wouldn’t Yeshandalah also want to capitalize on Gaven’s terrifying financial power?

This was much simpler and more efficient than building a municipal chamber of commerce on her own.

Before the Conqueror Army left, they had left behind various goods for the Conqueror Guild worth millions, enough for them to quickly set up shop.

After a slight hesitation, Yeshandalah couldn’t help but ask, "In the original city hall, is there a portal that allows you to transport resources quickly?"

Others might not be clear on how much the Conqueror Army transported through the original city hall, but she knew it all too well.

Even if the relationship was close, having a portal in the center of her own city was something she couldn’t simply ignore.

"Sorry, Lord Gaven made a special point before he left to disclose this matter to you, and I haven’t had the chance yet," Daphne replied, "There is no portal in the original city hall, but because it was once shadowfied, it’s connected to two other similar territories of yours and can quickly transport resources, but it cannot transport living beings. If necessary, it can provide you with some troop support, but only within the original city hall area."

The headquarters of the Conqueror Guild was, after all, located in the very heart of Efanso, and it was necessary to disclose this matter. Moreover, with a large volume of trade going on, it would be impossible to keep it a secret.

"So it is, I’m even more looking forward to the development of the Conqueror Guild now," Yeshandalah’s eyes shone involuntarily, such swift transport would give the Conqueror Guild a powerful competitive advantage.

While others’ goods were still being laboriously transported, hers would have already sold several batches, and it wasn’t impossible to monopolize the market share for some goods in the end.

"What are your thoughts on military construction, City Lord?" Daphne asked, seeing the good atmosphere and shifting the topic to the army.

Military force and financial power are the two most important tools for controlling a city, and neither can be done without, especially in a situation where there are wolves on all sides.

Yeshandalah answered openly, "I plan to form a Ranger Guard and a Light Cavalry, with the number of each tentatively set at three hundred. The main force will be drawn from the Avenger Rebellion Army, and the rest will be supplemented by locals."

Years of guerrilla warfare had made Yeshandalah place great importance on the mobility of the army, a view that hadn’t changed even after becoming the lord of a city.

"That should be enough," Daphne nodded, "In fact, the ultimate situation for Efanso will depend on the Conqueror Army led by Lord Gaven. If they progress smoothly, even if Efanso doesn’t have a single soldier, no one would dare to touch us.

But if they are defeated across the board, no matter how much we multiply our forces, we won’t withstand a siege by the wolves. Abandoning Efanso and returning to guerilla warfare would be the wisest choice."

"Yes, I hope Lord Gaven can continue the current momentum, tear through all obstacles, and smoothly reach the destination," Yeshandalah also wished earnestly from the bottom of her heart.

Because what Daphne stated was the truth.

This was Efanso’s real predicament now.

They might be the only ones along the entire Giant Dragon Coast hoping for the success of the Conqueror Army; all the other cities were waiting for their failure.

The Conqueror Army had no intention of causing extra trouble on the Giant Dragon Coast; they had already nearly exhausted its value, at least they couldn’t squeeze out any more using current methods. Instead, pushing them too hard might lead to the loss of even the current benefits.

After they left Efanso, they followed the trade routes between Efanso and Posku, heading straight for the Wasteland Path, also known as the Wasteland Bridge.

The trade route between Efanso and Posku stretched over two hundred kilometers, which the Conqueror Army covered in just two days, pitching camp on the trade route twenty kilometers outside of Posku City.

Even with ten times the courage, the rulers of Posku City would not dare to have the Conqueror Army stay overnight within their city.

After all, their city had a population of just over twenty thousand, half the size of the Conqueror Army.

They had barely settled their camp when Onala Obastar, the ruler of Posku City, came to visit, naturally to discuss the Conqueror Army’s request for passage.

Posku was a frontier city, conveniently blocking the intersection of the Sunset Mountain Range and the Stormhorn Mountains. The Wasteland Path, especially the Wasteland Bridge that cut across their city, was the only way for an army the size of the Conqueror Army to enter the Goblin Margins.

The matter of passing through Posku had been settled in the initial negotiations with the Giant Dragon Coast Allied Forces.

The Conqueror Army, of course, had no worries; if they were not allowed passage, a direct assault would be the solution.
