"As far as I know, a year ago, your territory was still a barren grassland."

"It is adjacent to the Bone Burial Ground, and there are often powerful undead wandering there, so it is not suitable as a settlement."

"And compared to other places in the area, the location there is not too advantageous."

"I wonder how you were able to initially build a giant city-level settlement in one year?"

Marquis Ekmeledin had a stern look on his face, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

This made Zong Shen a little curious, but he didn't expect that he would actually play his cards right.

The changes there cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who care.

Let alone the emergence of a giant city-level settlement within a year, even if the time is increased hundreds of times, this is an unimaginable thing for the indigenous people.

Zong Shen estimated that Marquis Ekmeledin must have guessed something.

This is not surprising.

After all, he is also a ruler at the level of a giant city, so it is normal for him to know something about the Chosen One.

And judging from Ekmeledin's reaction, this guy is actually not the coward he is rumored to be.

He's just a little too cautious.

No real coward can lead a team with such strict rules and regulations.

The garrison of Dagarisni was superior to the garrison of Rentax in terms of discipline alone.

As the saying goes, if a soldier is frightened by one, he will frighten the whole group.

If Ekhmeledin is really a fool, even if he has good officers under his command, it will be difficult to lead such an army.

In addition, the construction and planning of Dagalisini is actually not bad.

What really separates him from Lentax is his background and size.

Facts have proven that the Marquis of Eckmeledin in front of him is a qualified ruler.

This seemingly casual inquiry was the first card he played.

It also made someone in Zong put away his contempt.

He replied with a smile.

"Indeed, it actually took less than a year to build my territory."

Since the other party has played his cards right, there is no need for him to be secretive.

It now appears that the lord system allows limited exchange of inside information.

Especially lords like Zong Shen, who are ahead of the curve, enjoy a certain degree of "right to leak secrets."

Such a frank answer surprised Marquis Ekmeledin.

Only the officers around him were still a little confused.

"Create a giant city-level territory in one year?"

"How is this possible?"

"Could it be that the information is wrong?"

The military commander sitting on the right side of the Marquis couldn't help but speak.

He wears Avalon's officer armor and possesses golden epic quality.

In Zong Shen's eyes, that bright aura looked a bit coquettish.

Some special effects can only be seen by the lord.

This is also a change brought about by semi-digitization.

Regarding the words of the military chief, Zong Shen just smiled and said nothing.

He could see that there was also a big difference between the aborigines and the aborigines.

Some are able to discern secrets and even awaken like Grand Duke Jonathan.

And some aborigines are destined to play supporting roles in this life.

In comparison, joining a territory has become a shortcut.

At the very least, it is an opportunity to say goodbye to the confusion.

Marquis Ekmeledin took a deep look at Zong Shen, lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

When he raised his head with a thoughtful expression, he happened to meet Zong Shen's smiling but silent gaze.

"I see."

"The legend is true, the ancient rumors are true..."

"Guys, please leave first. I have something to discuss with the lord alone."

"Hisham, you stay."

The Marquis asked all the officers to leave.

He seemed to understand something.

What Zong Shen said before made him think about something.

Several chief officers were a little confused.

He just got up and left in confusion.

Hisham did not sit down, but stood behind the Marquis with a very complicated expression.

When everyone left and the heavy door of the living room was closed again, Marquis Ekmeledin said seriously.

"Does the Chosen One involve the change of eras?"

"The reign of the Pendragon dynasty is coming to an end?"

These two questions made Zong Shen raise his eyebrows.

Since he has not been silenced, is it possible that Marquis Ecmeledin will also become an awakener?

"Where did you learn about the Chosen One and the Change of Era?"

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and asked bluntly.

This question was unexpected by the Marquis, and he answered slowly.

"books."

"Similar concepts are mentioned in some ancient books."

"Although most books mention this briefly, and the relevant content is very vague, I can vaguely see some content."

"There is also some relevant information from old bachelor Cole. He is a retired bachelor from the city. He spent the rest of his life studying the history of the mainland."

No moji, the Marquis said frankly.

He is trying to show kindness to Zong Shen.

Openness and honesty are often the first step in friendly communication.

It just so happens that Zong Shen is a person who takes soft things rather than hard words, which makes him unable to say those tough words.

"interesting."

"So do you know the purpose of my coming here?"

He spread his hands, stretched his arms, and laid them flat on the table.

Hearing this, Marquis Ekmeledin looked at his hands and said.

"Peace or conquest."

"It seems you are a smart man."

"And what are your options?"

Zong Shen smiled and simply stopped pretending.

But he saw Marquis Ekmeledin smiling back.

"My choice depends on your choice."

This answer is very interesting.

It can be seen that the Marquis must have prepared some means to deal with Zong Shen.

Because he seemed very confident when he said these words.

"The future is right in front of you."

"Now that you know about the change of dimensions, you should understand that this is the general trend."

"As you can see, my territory has already reached the size of a giant city, and it only took a few months."

Zong Shen stood up and walked to the window. He opened the window and looked into the sky.
