The Great Conqueror

Both Bran and Kurt smiled wryly. This guy's narcissism is growing day by day, but the reality is always cruel.

"Today was just a preliminary exchange and didn't involve the main issue, but I can be sure that she knows about the family's plan, and this visit may have a deeper purpose."

Zou Liang said with a smile, letting Kurt and Randy find a way to solve the problem by themselves is actually the best opportunity to exercise their ability to manage the town. No matter whether they can solve it or not, they can learn a lot from it.

Failure is the way to make a man mature, success never can.

"My lord, do you mean that Lolita's visit may bring a certain opportunity, and the Jackman family may seek another way of cooperation with us?" Bran is old and cunning after all, and quickly analyzed the conclusion from Zou Liang's words.

"It's just a possibility, or it might be that she wants to estimate the value of our Duolan City for the family, so that it can be shared in the future."

Bran shook his head, "My lord, if it was for this purpose, she wouldn't be here. The heir of the Jackman family may be excellent, but he is definitely not suitable for this job. A representative of a family must come here to seek another way of cooperation. If we can give the Jackman family greater sweetness, they might be willing to cooperate with us. After all, although such cooperation can be profitable, it will also increase the food invasion of the Nicola family and the Ficklow family. I don't think the Jackman family will be willing to watch them encroach on their own territory step by step!"

Bran's eyes were burning. Although Duolan was very remote, the various smuggling groups had really sharpened Bran's vision. This person was already very capable, and his analysis was actually the same as Zou Liang's.

As a family, the most important thing is to stick to your own domain, your own territory, which is the lifeline of the family.

Just like the Nicholas family is in charge of the underground world and all kinds of businesses that can’t be put on the table, the Ficklow family is a speculative family, and they can be seen in rich places. The Jackman family relied on their hard work back then. Obtained the ruling power of another lifeline of the empire, which is food. Although it doesn’t say how much money it makes, at least it is very important, and it also shows that the Jackman family was indeed the cronies of the Holy See.

The dark channels of the Nicola family, the huge funds and relationship network of the Ficklow family, and the dominance of the Jackman family in this field constitute a grand plan to encircle and suppress Dolan City. The three behemoths will swallow Dolan City in one bite, leaving no bones left.

But for the Jackman family, it is good to share Dolan City. Everyone can see that this is a behemoth no less than the imperial capital in the future, but the question is, can the Jackman family guarantee that they will not be annexed by Nicholas and Ficklow in future struggles?

You must know that these two families are the real ruthless ones. It is not a joke to be ranked among the top five families. They are really strong. Jackman is still a step behind. On the other hand, the Jackman family is really worried.

That's all. Although the Jackman family is very good, they have used up their love in the Holy See back then, and the actual influence in the political power today is only the Gina family.

The characteristic of the five major families is that not only the family strength is consolidated, but also they have enough penetration in the politics of the empire, such as the Sanchez family, and even the Montailles family has the position of people-friendly officer, not to mention that they are also the patron saint family of the empire.

It is impossible for the patriarch of the Jackman family not to think about it. It is not easy for three generations of nobles to pass on so many generations.

But the problem is that there is a price to be paid for offending Nicola and Ficklow. Unless they get greater benefits, the Jackman family would rather suffer a little loss and make a little profit.

Now it's up to Dolan City, or whether Arthur is worth taking the risk against the Jackman family.

And this decision is in the hands of Lolita.

Not to mention, after thinking about it like this, Zou Liang's train of thought became clearer, "Bran, what you said is very reasonable. You have grasped the essence of family development. There are only a few traditional distribution of benefits. If someone wants to grow, he has to grab it from others. I'm afraid the Nicholas family wants to kill two birds with one stone this time. I don't know who came up with such a wonderful idea."

"Boss, you can still laugh, they are coveting your territory, grandma, we have worked so hard to defend the city's construction until now, and they want to fish it all with their wrists, it's too dark and cruel."

Randy snapped.

Bran is very calm, probably he has seen too much, although he has not seen the rise and fall of big families, but Dolan City has seen this kind of success and failure too much, after all, he is three times the age of Randy and Kurt.

"Randy, we have to learn from Bran. As a decision maker, we must be calm and not rush. Even if Lolita has this intention, we can't have no confidence at all. Negotiations, whoever is anxious first, will be finished first."

"Boss, I know this, but I know better. People are not in a hurry. We are in a hurry. The current food supply will not last long, and there will be an unpredictable flow of people. The most important thing is that I am worried that once this problem breaks out, they will take advantage of it. The Nicholas family is best at conspiracy and trickery. I am afraid we can't stop it. Once the problem breaks out, it will be out of control."

Randy burst out in a flash.

Zou Liang and Ke Te looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing, "Oh, third brother, you are amazing, and now you think so far, not bad, not bad!"

Zou Liang is not joking, it is really good, just like Randy said, there will definitely be people spreading this true "rumor" everywhere.

"Let's not talk about the Jackman family. If it doesn't work, what else can you do? In other words, how long can you last?"

Zou Liang asked, and the three of them didn't know what Zou Liang wanted to do. Jackman had become the last straw to solve the problem.

"As for Duolan City, I got some from the surrounding cities, but not many. Although they can be oppressed in the name of the Red-clothed High Priest, they can use various methods to delay or even create problems. Considering that your lord has just assumed the role of the Red-clothed High Priest, it is not suitable for issuing death orders. A small number of cities have come to a part, which can last for a week."

Bran said, after all, the surrounding cities have to obey the orders of the chief priest in red, but they are indeed delaying, or transporting less, saying that it takes time to mobilize.

Nikolai's influence is already at work.

Zou Liang always felt that something was wrong, and suddenly his face changed slightly, how could he forget the person who should pay attention the most!

"Bran, I'm afraid you don't have to look forward to that week. This matter has nothing to do with the three major families. I'm afraid Sanchez will make some moves."

How come the consul has half of the world, if he acts as a hindrance, even if the temple is willing to help, he will be restrained. Who is the most threatening to his growth, and whose interests will be affected?

It's not Nicola, it's not Ficklo, it's the Sanchez family, more precisely Nebello Sanchez!

The day-owing knight made a move, ruthless and accurate, this is to make him slump!

Zou Liang didn't even need to guess, maybe he was in charge of this matter, and he didn't even participate in the distribution of benefits.

Only Nebello could do this kind of trick that harms others and harms oneself. It has to be said that it is ruthless to a certain extent, and even after the incident, the Pope can't say anything, because the Sanchez family didn't benefit from it.

But there is a reality that the opponent's downfall is one's own victory.

Zou Liang's recent prestige has greatly affected Nebello's development in the Holy See.

Randy and Kurt were also heartbroken. The situation in Dolan City was much more serious than they had imagined under the encirclement and suppression of the four major families. Even the aid from Jerusalem may have problems!

The good ones don’t work, and the bad ones, just as they expected, whether it’s the assistance that the surrounding cities have already promised, or Shenyao’s side, they have encountered problems. Even with the care of the shaman and the red-clothed priest, they dare not defy, but they can procrastinate and delay.

And time is undoubtedly the most precious thing right now.

Snow Wolf Town already has the characteristics of the Wilderness. In fact, the process of taking over the Snow Wolf Town was not so smooth. There have been countless battles between the Wolf Clan and the Wilderness. Although Aiolia gave up this area, it doesn't mean that the Wilderness is fine. It's just that they had to give up when they found that the Wolf Clan was much more ruthless than them.

The wolves' attitude towards Xuelang Town is beyond imagination. Any provocation of SLR, the wolves will give the most violent counterattack. The strength of the wolves is not strong, but the wolves are really not afraid of death, and they are really ruthless. They are not only ruthless to the enemy, but also more ruthless to themselves.

Lolita didn't bring any entourage with her, so she was relieved that Zou Liang seemed to be enjoying the unique scenery of Xuelang Town along the way.

"I can't see that you have such a high status in the eyes of the wolves." Lolita laughed.

"Hehe, this is the new home of the wolves. In fact, Duolan City is very good. It has two kinds of scenery, the vast grassland and the prosperity of the city. This feeling cannot be found in other places."

Zou Liang opened his arms, enjoying the wind of the prairie. This was completely different from the feeling of fighting in the wilderness before. The wolves he met along the way maintained the highest courtesy to Arthur, and there were many wolves who knelt down along the way.

In the hearts of the wolves, Arthur is not only the lord of the city, but also doesn't care about the chief priest in red. He is the benefactor of the wolves and their protector. After being oppressed for so long, the wolves poured their gratitude to Zou Liang.

Of course, the surrender of the five wolf kings also aggravated the feeling of the wolf clan from another level. Sirius has a very special status in the wolf clan, and the performance of Sirius has also greatly affected the thinking of the wolf clan. In their eyes, Zou Liang is really no longer a simple orc.

Perhaps this is another manifestation of God.

Lolita was deeply touched along the way, and suddenly she discovered a problem. When others wanted to move Dolan City, they probably overlooked a very serious aspect, that is—people's hearts!

Even if there is a problem, will the people here really riot?

During the time she came to Dolan City, Lolita carefully investigated the situation of Dolan City and the three surrounding towns. With the information she got from her cousin, Dolan City is really a very different place.

It is full of vigorous vitality, and what Arthur enjoys in this place is really king-like power.
