Chapter 26: These Are All My Family, After All
However, these things are actually internal secrets of the Norscans.
After all, those who are robbed only know that the people robbing them are masked or have some general physical characteristics; to specifically clarify who each person is—if they had that ability, they wouldn't have been robbed in the first place.
Someone like Wufuruike, who dared to take a dragon-headed ship and fight his way through the defenses of the Knight of the Kingdom, Bretonnia, and snatch the Holy Grail from inside their cathedral, is naturally a legend among legends to the Norscans. Only by living close to the Chaos Wasteland could such a ruthless person and phenomenon emerge.
The so-called Norscans that the players find are mostly losers who lost their status in chieftain struggles and gradually drifted toward the frontier regions.
They lack the protection of the Dark Gods and will sooner or later return to the civilized society regions. Otherwise, they must fight their way back to the snowfields and use their abilities to prove they are still the favorites of the Dark Gods.
This place is a Norscan exile zone. It belongs to the category of places that neither the uncle cares for nor the grandmother loves.
In other words, it is exactly the same as the players' positioning.
"However, if one can follow the player route, to be honest, one could use the player channels as a local lord to sell some specialty products..."
Watching the player guild leader describe their bright future with such emotion, Li Ang did not look down on them or feel arrogant; instead, he stretched his body while calmly thinking about the opportunities within.
To tell the truth, looking at the state of Li Ang's current territory, in the eyes of normal people and the so-called civilized world, he wouldn't be called a hero, but at least he could be called a Chaos Chosen. He doesn't look like a good person. The more radical ones would directly chant the names of gods to trade with them.
If those Knightly Orders wait until the Myriad Phenomena Labyrinth is finished before coming, then a fight will be inevitable.
Especially after the Supreme Wisdom begins to take effect, some azure runes will appear on the people under Li Ang's command. Although they can be hidden, that scent of Magic cannot be faked.
Under these circumstances, expecting the territory to conduct trade and survive normally is, to be honest, a bit unlikely. It wouldn't be impossible to start with the other riffraff in the Chaos Wasteland, but the Demon Legion definitely needs to be sacrificed, and technology is still very important.
As for those twisted tribes that worship the wilderness gods, once taken down, they would mostly have to be sent to Stonehenge to go through a cycle, first washing away the Magic and then changing their allegiance to become population. In other words, in the grand strategy of the Landing Site, for his own rear area, the Chaos Wasteland, it is either kill or recruit; there are no other options.
Looking at it this way, it seems there really isn't much to trade. But the fact that the territory's supplies are not abundant is an objective reality.
The area must be expanded; the total of over a thousand knights and serfs eating and consuming would greatly slow down progress if everything were produced in the Experimental Zone, so there must be certain trade routes to ensure the development of internal circulation.
And players, indeed, are a very good target to use as a fuse.
Their understanding of this world is vague, the truth about the Dark Gods is unclear, and their understanding of the Wisdom Path's runes is very shallow; they are perfect for selling Magic Crystals and some production trash.
As long as this trash is sent out and exchanged for some tools and items necessary for production and life, the construction of the Landing Site can be significantly accelerated again. By then, he can directly pull up the Knightly Order and charge into the Chaos Wasteland, taking down places like the Prince Palace inside first.
"And we have also received a piece of news."
The owner of that post said: "Deep inside the distant Chaos Wasteland, a strange war seems to be happening. A huge wound has appeared in the distance. I judge that this place will definitely become a trade hub, or a useful trade node."
"We may not be able to become the most powerful masters here, but as long as we station ourselves in this area and build our own city-state, then players from all over the world will have a beacon, a signal. You are not alone; you can always trust us."
"From beginning to end, our First Guild will fight for the well-being of the players. We will always enthusiastically share all data and information to prove that our intentions have not been in vain."
"Therefore, we sincerely invite players from all walks of life to gather together, and using everything in our hands, we will eventually build a country of our own!" "Except for the Old World, other large regions have relatively stable political situations, and the shipping routes and Path markers are difficult to explore, so there are no other plans. But we believe that with the success case of the Old World, we might be able to open up communication channels between Erathia and Demon Island."
"Whether it is Northrend, or the Mist Land, or even the legendary Sky Islands and the lost Fairy forest, our player traces are all there. This is a great achievement that only we can accomplish."
"Join us, and let us achieve this world with our own hands!"
"..."
But if you go over there, you will easily be rushed by the World-Ending Warband.
Looking at the passionate text, Li Ang thought calmly.
Rather, every time the World-Ending Warband takes the field, they are recruiting from there to head to the Old World. If the players block this place, the civilized world will laugh to death.
A large-scale fortress against Chaos Demons that is even further ahead than the Cursed City of Prag. Players have nothing else in abundance, but their numbers are high. If a large player fortress were to be built locally, the permanent population would at least have to be considered in the hundreds of thousands. Comparable to the super-large cities of the Old World.
If the portal mechanism brought by the Norscans and his own Wisdom Path is utilized properly, I am afraid the future holds great promise.
After all, that is a market of millions of people.
Even if operated properly, these people could be treated as population and soldiers.
He loves his subjects equally; if these people could truly become his subjects, then why wouldn't it be okay to treat them better? If demons could accomplish things, Li Ang wouldn't even mind being with demons.
It is just a pity that demons are only suitable for killing and sacrificing; they are more like some kind of complex natural phenomenon, and it is hard to say they are individuals.
After confirming some landmarks and locations marked by the player's paid post, Li Ang finished his exercise, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank once again into the gentle ocean, and then he woke up in the dampness.
"..."
Just as he opened his eyes, Li Ang realized the problem.
He saw a monster, huge as a small mountain, covered in tumors and growing dozens of twisted giant horns.
The hundreds of dark red eyeballs embedded in its body surface stiffly reflected Li Ang's figure, which was radiating Magic light, as if it were howling angrily right in front of him.
A new week is coming! I beg all readers to read a little longer and recommend it to others. During the new author and new book period, your follow-up reading is really important!
