Chapter 272 The King’s Side And King Of Charms!
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
With the 130 points of affinity as the foundation, as long as William did not do any bad thing, the affinity points of Vikru would not diminish.
Vikru had a pleasant conversation with William. They discussed many things, from territory management to the Darkness invasion. Then, they talked about the Dark forces and the Light factions.
William made use of his rich experiences gained in his previous life and divulged some useful information. He also shared his future plans. When he heard the information, Vikru’s eyes lit up.
Vikru even asked William about the future development of the Red Fire Kingdom.
He agreed wholeheartedly with William’s words.
What William shared were the future developments that happened in his previous life!
That was the reason why William’s predictions were aligned with Vikru’s thoughts.
The King was starting to take William seriously!
To Vikru, William’s power was nothing to be talked about.
But his potential, it was immense!
William had the foresight and strategic thinking of a Lord, and he had a group of powerful subordinates.
But Vikru asked, “The development of the City of Dawn is interesting. There are no immediate dangers. To further develop, the City of Dawn is recruiting mercenaries.
“But do you know that this method is creating a great repercussion in the mercenary groups and the neutral lords?
“The Mercenary Guild is going to be very busy. Everyone wants the guarantees from the Mercenary Guild to prove that they are up to the tasks.
“Then, your advantage will dwindle. Due to a shortage of resources, your development will be stagnant.”
William looked strangely at Vikru. What was he up to?
Was Vikru showing consideration for him?
Or Was he testing William to see if he was a good ally?
William contemplated for some time before he said in a low voice, “I understand this point. But not every mercenary team has the necessary military training.
“We can conduct various missions like fortifications, guarding, transportation, deployment, and other comprehensive services.
“The crux lies not in my personal capability. My subordinates had the discretion to prevent our employers from suffering any losses.
“For other mercenary teams, if they have bad records, how can the Mercenary Guild provide guarantees for them?
“Even if the guild were to provide assurances, this model is created by me. The others are still exploring and copying my idea.
“I have to say this.
The City of Dawn will be copied but can not be surpassed by others.”
William took a pause before he continued. “The most important point is that mercenaries are a group of soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for money.
“If you want them to start a war, they won’t mind as it is still a battlefield. They will just charge chaotically at the enemy.
“If you want them to do other things, they will rob employers and live incognito so that nobody will catch them.
“But the City of Dawn is different. The mercenaries can’t escape from my territory!
“Even if my mercenaries commit mistakes, I have the money for compensation.
“Lan Yu Grand Duchy has assigned the City of Dawn a huge mission. If we manage to defeat the dark creatures, the reputation of the City of Dawn will dramatically increase. We will be receiving lots of missions.
“The other mercenary teams are not able to enjoy such benefits.”
Vikru understood William’s intention!
The City of Dawn was a neutral faction and had territories. There was also a group of chosen ones who could revive. They were the best candidates for war missions.
And the trained legions will accept other missions.
With proper arrangements and support of two Elven races, as long as they didn’t antagonize powerful factions, the future of the City of Dawn would be very bright.
Within these few seconds, Vikru decided to provide help when the City of Dawn was in need and not after!
What was the City of Dawn lacking?
Reputation!
The guarantees of the Mercenary Guild were not sufficient. The large-scale mission of Lan Yu Grand Duchy was also not substantial.
The City of Dawn had to complete many missions and obtain the required exposure and reputation. Only then would the other powerful factions recognize the neutral City of Dawn as a reliable faction. Then they would give missions to the City of Dawn.
What Vikru had to do was simple.
He assigned William ten missions!
The missions were not difficult. The City of Dawn was capable of completing the missions.
The missions were escort, transportation, guarding of defense lines, development of new territories (logging of trees and development of grass plains), and Intelligence gathering missions.
When William saw the ten level A missions, he was overjoyed.
The missions had been assigned just when William needed them the most.
These missions had to be completed by Intermediate professionals. The difficulty was not great, and the risks were low. The rewards were not generous, either. The only shortcoming was the large manpower requirement. The exposure was also correspondingly higher.
This was an advantage.
The City of Dawn was not involved in wars at the moment, so there was plenty of manpower.
Although most of the players had gone for the two S Level missions, many players were still unemployed.
Besides the players, William could also deploy the regular legions.
The City of Dawn had 100,000 regular soldiers. Their daily expenses were enormous.
Instead of letting the soldiers idle, it was better for them to be employed in missions. William could earn a profit and offset his expenses.
More importantly, these were the missions of the Red Fire Kingdom.
It symbolized the trust of the Red Fire Kingdom.
The trust was an advertisement for the City of Dawn.
If the City of Dawn completed these missions, the other dukedoms could no longer ignore it.
Impossible!
William looked at Vikru with gratitude. He said solemnly, “We can accept all the missions. To reduce time wastage, is it possible to set up a teleportation portal? We can also have trade and commerce.”
“This is not a problem. With more trade and commerce, we’ll have more profits.
“Do you have a space mage in the City of Dawn?”
William smiled and said, “We have a space enchanter, so we won’t have to trouble your Highness.”
Vikru was taken aback. He was also envious. He was more certain of investing in the City of Dawn.
And the benefits would be mutual.
William obtained many benefits from Vikru.
So, he had to help solve some problems!
To William, the missions were not troublesome. Moreover, he could deploy the legions to complete the missions.
An important mission had arrived!
(Prompt: You received a piece of mission information]
[Prompt: The King’s Side]
[Mission Level: S+]
[Mission Information: The Red Fire Kingdom and the Desert Kingdom have been at war for ten years. An outcome will not appear unless one side is destroyed. Otherwise, the war will drag on.)
(Prompt: Choose your faction. The Red Fire Kingdom, or The Desert Kingdom!]
William was unable to decline this mission.
If he declined, Vikru’s affinity points would drop to zero. All the previous missions would also be canceled.
William had no reason to decline.
Because in William’s previous life, the Red Fire Kingdom had been the victor.
William accepted the mission that would be the main plot mission N years later.
William and Vikru looked at each other and smiled.
Their friendship had risen to the next level!
William glanced at his ‘Handsome’ endowment. He said to himself, “I’m… the King of charms!”
