Chutian knows very well how difficult it is to own a city in the chaotic forest.
First of all, the forest city must be built on a rich aura and a special transportation hub. If there are not enough resources, no matter how luxurious the city is built, it will not produce much value, and it will be difficult to attract anyone to settle in. Secondly, the city owner must also be strong enough, because if you don't have enough ability to defend the city, who would dare to take refuge in you in this chaotic and helpless place
Every forest city lord is a top power who can ignore the law of the dark forest.
These forest cities are strategically important, resource-heavy, and survival foundations for the giants.
Most of the citizens of forest cities are living areas of their own tribe, such as elf city, such as beast spirit city, such as giant city, such as sea city. Ten, or even all of them are from the same clan.
The Dragon Lord is a special existence.
After all, the dragon race is a rare race with a small population, but the giant dragon has amazing wealth and incomparable strength, so let him gather a large number of followers, so he will not lose to those big clan forces.
Chutian what
This kind of small foreign force has no foundation in the chaotic forest. It doesn't have its own country and tribe, and it doesn't have the power and deterrence of a giant dragon. Even if it occupies a city, it is useless.
This is not a hot potato.
This is an indeterminate time bomb that can blow him to pieces anytime he holds it in his hand.
Yes, this battle to annihilate the plundering group has fully demonstrated the ability of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, making Chu Tian admired by many powerful forces.
The Sky Punishment airship exploded earth-shatteringly in the forest, which aroused the fear and vigilance of many giants, but that was all. They did not attack Oldman Town, they simply looked down on Oldman Town, war In the final analysis, profit must come first. There is no need for the giants to cause unnecessary trouble and losses for a city in the outskirts of the forest.
If the Miracle Merchant Guild occupies a city openly, the situation will be completely different.
Such a race that lacks influence, foundation, and strength cannot own such a city anyway.
The special thing about the current situation is that the name of Greenland City still belongs to the Eternal Forest!
The Eternal Forest is the core of the power of the elves, where the king city of the elves is located, and the elves have multiplied in the chaotic forest for thousands of years, so the signboard of the eternal forest is still very useful.
Whoever attacks the city means declaring war on the Everforest. In this way, direct military conflicts of large-scale forces will be avoided to the greatest extent, and Chutian will reduce a lot of pressure, as long as he is careful to guard against all kinds of shady tricks.
However, Chu Tian also knew the predicament facing the Elf King.
The geographical location of Greenland City is too special. The Elf Council is worried that if the city is held by the elves, the elves who have always disliked fighting and peace will eventually be involved in the war they least want to see, so they will definitely try their best to Dissuade the Elf King from abandoning the city.
Even if the Elven King is unwilling to give up the city, so what
If the parliament does not approve the dispatch of troops, the Eternal Forest will not be able to send regular troops to garrison. A city without a nameless city cannot last long. When Greenland City has not had the power of the Eternal Forest to accept it for a long time, other people don't need to guess and know what the attitude of the elves is. It is also a matter of time before the city is taken away.
Now the Elven King decided to take a gamble.
On the one hand, he still emphasizes that Greenland City is the power of the eternal forest, so that those who are afraid of Greenland City will throw their hands at them, and on the other hand, he no longer aims at actual control, but gives this opportunity to Chutian and his daughter Weiwei install.
This is an opportunity.
But it is an extremely dangerous opportunity.
The status quo of Greenland City is like walking on a tightrope, which is very dangerous.
When studying the map Ulysses sent, the Miracle Chamber concluded that the city wasn't bad, it was just too good. It is located in the core area of the chaotic forest, and this place is almost the battlefield where the major forces of the chaotic forest compete.
Dragon Ridge, Eternal Forest, Titan Mountains, Savage Highlands... These are the most iconic forces in the Chaos Forest, and any one of them is enough to crush the Miracle Chamber of Commerce into powder. Greenland City is just where these forces meet. Apart from these real giants comparable to the Warring States Period, there are many other powerful forest forces. You must know that anyone who can gain a foothold in the depths of the chaotic forest must at least not would be inferior to a large kingdom.
The chaotic forest area is also one of the oldest forests on the mainland. All kinds of peerless beasts active in it are enough to bring devastating disasters. Some ancient secret places and unknown geological environments are also very dangerous. Something to take into consideration.
The Miracle Chamber of Commerce is just supported by a small country in South Xia, and has no home court advantage at all. The current ability of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce is only a little bit, and it does not have the ability to compete with major forces or mine the depths of the chaotic forest. If you overestimate yourself and get involved hastily, I'm afraid there will be no good results.
Time is running out now.
Chutian needs to make a quick decision.
This choice is a bit embarrassing, and everyone in the Miracle Chamber of Commerce frowned.
Meng Qingwu is not very in favor of taking risks. No one knows the current situation better than her. The strength of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce has actually been far overestimated.
This time, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce has no way to use it again to deal with the plundering group’s Heaven’s Punishment, and the berserkers trained by the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, even if they are added to the Nanzhou training camp, will not exceed 20,000 at most, and they will not be able to transfer them for the time being. .
The Oldman army cannot be easily dispatched to protect the town.
Chutian didn't have any troops to use. It was very difficult for such a weak person to go deep into the dangerous forest and protect himself. How could he expect to control the city? I'm afraid he was swallowed before he could gain a firm foothold, so there were not even bones left!
In the chaotic forest, hundreds of clans are separated, and the forces are intricate.
The safest strategy now is to manage the town well, slowly accumulate as much resources and wealth as possible, and then slowly control more indigenous people and towns, and then use the strategy of encircling the center from the outside to start to infiltrate into the forest little by little. Then wait for the opportunity to seek a city to control and become the center of the chamber of commerce.
But then I thought again.
If this opportunity is missed, the chamber of commerce will not be able to enter the depths of the forest within three or two years at the current speed of development. Even if the time is right when it is full-fledged in the future, will it be possible to obtain such a good city? Behind every city are the shadows of major forces. If the Miracle Chamber of Commerce wants to obtain a city of its own, it will inevitably have antagonism with some forces. Giving a city for nothing like now is definitely a good thing.
As for giving up the foothold in the city and operating purely in the form of a chamber of commerce? Absolutely not! It might be possible in a complete country, but where power like the chaotic forest speaks, everything you have must be supported by corresponding strength.
If there is no strength, even wealth and resources are rootless duckweed!
"I accept the gift from the Elf King!" Chu Tian took the map without thinking too much, "Please rest assured, the Elf King, this city will not fall into anyone's hands, and I will definitely do my best to govern and prosper it!"
Ulysses sighed in admiration.
Although the gift is tempting, those who do not have enough courage dare not accept it.
Ulysses originally thought that Chutian would not dare to accept it, and even if he chose to accept it, he would consider the pros and cons for a few days, but he didn't expect Chutian to be so straightforward, and he accepted it after a little thought.
Such a person is either bold and resourceful, or reckless, or both.
Although I don't know if Chutian has the ability to secure this position, as long as the Greenland City does not fall into the hands of other forces, it will be beneficial to the elves. As for whether or not the city is actually controlled, it is not that important .
"In the name of the Eternal Forest, I appoint you as the Lord of the Greenland City." Ulysses handed the elf king's token to Chu Tian, "You have all rights in the Greenland City, and the Eternal Forest will not interfere in any internal affairs. You just have to let go and do it.”
Both Meng Yingying and Vivian showed overjoyed expressions.
It's amazing!
They are simple-minded and don't think so much.
This Greenland City is a very good city. Although it is now a city in the Eternal Forest in name, there are no elves in Greenland City, and there is no need to be dictated by those old-fashioned. The Miracle Chamber of Commerce is completely free in this city. Isn't this the Miracle Chamber of Commerce Always wanted
On behalf of the Eternal Forest and the Elven King, Ulysses conferred the post of City Lord on Chutian, and the positions of Deputy City Master on Meng Qingwu and Vivienne. Needless to say Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu, it was the Elf King's arrangement for Vivian to become the deputy city lord.
Vivian's identity is an elf, and she is the daughter of the elf king. If she becomes the deputy city lord of Greenland City, then she can give Greenland City an extra layer of protection because of her special status.
Ulysses said to Chutian: "Greenland City used to be a city of a large local force. Because it was squeezed and weakened for a hundred years, Greenland City was finally acquired by the Elf King through diplomatic means. However, the old forces still remain in serious condition. , and there are other forces coveting, internal resistance and external pressure are great. In addition, it is said that riots, famine, and plague have occurred recently. The forms are intricate and cannot be accurately estimated. Remember not to expose your identity in a hurry, and observe the situation clearly first. "
Although I guessed that the situation of Greenland City was not good, I didn't expect it to be in such a mess.
This may be quite a challenge!
But Chu Tian was not afraid at all. He didn't have the time and thought to develop slowly. If such a great opportunity came before him, it would be too inconsistent with his personality if he didn't give it up.
Just find the right way!
There is nothing impossible in this world.
