Online Game Dungeon Master

Chapter 372 Negotiation

The border between the Phoenix Council and the Ferro Empire was a desolate area. Shen Xuan once allowed Songdao to develop peacefully here. Unexpectedly, his plan to attack the surface world did not come true, but the surface world launched the attack first.

There are several small villages scattered in the dense forest. Relying on the financial support from Fatty's studio from time to time, the area run by Songdao accommodates tens of thousands of evil believers.

Unfortunately, there is not much room for development, and you will be discovered. In the main material plane, a small conflict may lead to your death.

But this is the bridgehead of the Sunset Cult in the surface world. With the help of this place, they in the underground world can calmly deal with various crises.

Matsushima walked out, a rather cold and charming succubus. After the incident of the Dongda Game Club being broken up, Matsushima had gotten rid of the shadow of the past, but she still had to bear a heavier burden. Sometimes, there were Many are things that will make people reject and be hostile.

Now Shen Xuan needs to leave a buffer period for contacting the fallen temple, which may be two or three days, and it is not cost-effective to use Twilight City's army to contain him.

It's time to make use of these villages. Even if they are not big, the name of the Sunset God Cult cannot help but attract people's attention. As for the enemies of the gods, Shen Xuan can definitely be one of them.

He had already lost all fear.

"This isn't appropriate!" When Songdao heard that Shen Xuan asked her to expose the locations of several villages and sacrifice them, she cried out.

".I will do what you want." Songdao then changed his attitude and agreed to Shen Xuan's request. Then he thought about the purpose of doing so and the benefits to himself.

Shen Xuan was also surprised, probably because of Songdao's obedience. This is an era that advocates freedom. Except in the army, no one likes to have their destiny controlled by others. However, people are animals that are difficult to understand. Seeing Songdao's It shows that he can only sigh and be helpless.

"Come back to me in a week and I will assign you a new task."

He said before leaving.

After surveying the area, he was not sure that the Ferro Empire would definitely take countermeasures against him. He needed to prepare a second plan. When he was on his way back to the Fallen Temple, Shen Xuan contacted Frostmourne offline.

It seemed that every time I contacted the richest man in the online game industry, it was not the right time. This time when the other party responded, there was a crisp gasp from inside.

Is she a little lolita? Shen Xuan guessed and asked, "Frostmourne, how are you doing here?"

Frostmourne's voice came out, "No problem, LORD, I'm very good. Do you want to seek support from within the empire?" The screen did not open, and it seemed that Shen Xuan did not want to see an adult performance that was not suitable for children. Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the contact information of a studio within the empire that I can talk to."

Frostmourne then opened the most comprehensive collection of game organization contact information in the world and sent some useful information through an encrypted channel.

He asked: "Do you need me to handle it personally? Although the emperor supports the war, more importantly, the Eye of Judgment is assisting behind the scenes. In contrast, there are fewer disputes in the elven world, so I am more free."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment. Although he couldn't guess how he would solve it, he trusted Frostmourne's ability and believed that he could complete the task he assigned.

Shen Xuan agreed.

After arranging Frostmourne, Shen Xuan's figure appeared at the gate of the fallen temple.

He walked in step by step.

When he approached the source of all evil, he met several big devils who were in charge of exchange. Because Shen Xuan's reputation was worth millions, even these big devils had to express "friendship" to him.

Shen Xuan first went to exchange contribution points and negotiated at the same time. The contribution points obtained in this bloody battle were relatively large and relatively invisible. They could not only be used to exchange for material assistance, but also for technical support. They could also be used to request other things.

For example, the title of Marquis, such as support for foreign wars, these are what he urgently needs.

Of course the price is high.

The person who received him was Finance Minister Fulkaron, a judgment demon with three pairs of arms and three pairs of eyes. He was different from the jealous Mephistopheles. He was even more greedy and would never allow any material or money to be taken away easily. of outflow.

The negotiation between Shen Xuan and him was destined to be a protracted battle.

The first is the issue of reinforcements.

"As for reinforcements, Marquis Lane has come to me before. Lord, you should not come to me again." Focalon told Shen Xuan calmly, as if he was swearing.

But the fact is that although Ryan has looked for it, it has not achieved the expected goal. Moreover, Ryan's reinforcements and Shen Xuan's reinforcements are from two sides. Can the two sides be confused?

To say that the reinforcements from Desolate City were for Desolate City, Shen Xuan requested assistance from Dusk City. This was a national war, not an internal dispute within the Fallen Temple, so the participation of the Fallen Temple's army was required.

Shen Xuan spent some time explaining the difference to Fukalun, and used his level to intimidate him. After half an hour, the self-proclaimed fair devil said, "Did I remember it wrong? I'm so sorry. I've been busy recently, so it's inevitable that I made some mistakes. Lord, have you discussed the specific reinforcement plan with the Minister of Military Affairs? You know, the bloody battle has just ended, and there is a shortage of manpower. It's probably not a good idea to ask me directly. It's not in line with procedures. After all, my job is not in this aspect."

As the Minister of Finance, Fukalun's ability to fool people is first-class. As long as he thinks it's necessary, he can spend a long time on a small matter. Even if Shen Xuan is dissatisfied, he can't do it. Unlike the last Mephisto incident, this Fukalun is much more difficult to deal with.

After hearing this, Shen Xuan smiled slightly and replied, "The specific reinforcement plan has been determined. Dusk City wants to use 20 million contribution points to ask the Fallen Temple to send a reinforcement army composed of 10,000 big devils."

"Are you sure you have negotiated with the Minister of Military Affairs? And got consent?"

"Yes." Shen Xuan told him affirmatively.

Fukalun couldn't believe his expression. When he wanted to peek into Shen Xuan's heart, he found himself blocked by a layer of unclear power, and the peeping into the mind showed "resistance".

"Yes, Lord Fukalun, I swear in the name of the three masters."

Fukalun and Shen Xuan argued for a long time, and it took tens of millions of contributions to send troops to support Dusk City. The result of the agreement between the two parties was that the Fallen Temple would send a reinforcement army of 3,000 big devils to support, in a rental manner, that is, no matter how Shen Xuan commanded, the remaining big devils needed to be returned. Shen Xuan used this as an excuse to lower the price and spent 15 million contributions.

"For the glory of the Fallen Temple, let's work together."

After Fukalun finished speaking, Shen Xuan immediately stated the second request - the title of Marquis.

This was a matter of the same size as the reinforcements, because there was no urgency for the reinforcements, Fukalun's attitude was more ambiguous.

"The promotion to the Marquis needs to be approved by the Minister of Internal Affairs, and Lord, it may be difficult to get support for becoming a Marquis at such a young age. Are you sure you need to do this?"

Shen Xuan knew that his contribution points were enough to exchange for a very large fiefdom. He insisted on his principles and argued with Fukalun. Since the lord chose to exchange his contribution to the Fallen Temple for the title, he needed to take action for this. He needed to coordinate with the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Military Affairs. It would take a lot of effort no matter how you look at it.

After arguing with Fukalun for a long time, Shen Xuan quietly paid tribute to some things that Fukalun liked, which would help increase his favorability.

An epic complete unicorn skin and an epic carved armor produced by elves that the devil liked, all of which Fukalun liked. Dusk City's move was indeed extraordinary. The other party's attitude was slightly loosened, but it still took Shen Xuan a lot of words and half an hour to get the title of the Marquis.

Starting from the rank of Marquis, the limit on the number of territories was further relaxed, with the upper limit being more than 8,000 pieces, which means about 800,000 square kilometers of land.

For the Duke, there are also restrictions, and in fact, the upper limit can hardly be reached. Tens of thousands of pieces of territory are enough to establish a small or medium-sized country. This approach is more to stimulate the lord to expand the territory.

With the approval of Fukaren, Shen Xuan's title of Marquis cannot be escaped, even if Mephisto interferes. The specific title will be obtained in a few days in reality, and the issue of his fiefdom must be dealt with.

He needs a piece of land that suits his status.

Desolate City is quite suitable. After the fall of Desolate City, Kalecgos and Lion will decline in status even if they are not punished. Fukaren instigated Shen Xuan to take away about 500 pieces of territory in Desolate City.

Shen Xuan did not agree.

It's not that he doesn't need it. A strong city can directly dig out a large number of underground layers for territory construction like the Peak Fortress. Shen Xuan's goal is another place close to him-the south.

"Lord, are you sure you need to include Tarenge in your subordinates? The cost of a large fortress is quite staggering. As a devil who has served as the Minister of Finance for 809 years, I remind you that it is inappropriate to do so."

The division of fiefdoms needs to be carefully considered according to the richness of the territory and the surrounding borders. If it is an area of ​​the Desolate City, the number will not be large. If it is a quiet wasteland, due to the existence of Tarenge and the barren land, the nominal number of territories allocated will be more.

This phenomenon will not occur in previous territory wars. Most players control more territories than the upper limit of the territory, so they can quickly occupy the number of territories after obtaining the new title. When it comes to the Marquis, if you want land, you must find other means. Everyone is scrambling for it, so naturally there are more monks and less porridge.

The ownership of Tarenge can provide 200 territories to Dusk City, while Tarenge's own operation requires the supply of 500 territories. Fukalun promised 1,000. The territories south of Tarenge are actually neutral areas, which means that Dusk City needs to grab the remaining territories by itself. Now it is good to fight with Nihilum and grab the nominal justice.

After exchanging the title with contribution, there are not many contribution points left. Shen Xuan finally talked with Fukalun on economy, culture, politics and other aspects, hoping to get more support and assistance from the Fallen Temple.

Every day, Fukalun who came to ask for money also negotiated with Shen Xuan, and time passed unknowingly.

(First update. The second update will probably be around midnight or later)
