Gold Shining Town in the wasteland is very famous when it is mentioned here. As the war continues to increase, more and more creatures on the Aegean continent know that there is such a shining place in the wasteland.
Those who make a fortune, those who speculate, and those who make money, almost all come to Jinshijin Town to try their luck. Karen's ability to use talent has given many creatures the hope of rising. After all, opportunities like Philips and Louis are enough. Envious of everyone.
However, now, these enviable existences are sitting in the closed conference room at this moment, expressionless like dead people.
Churchill was relatively stable, Heymore seemed a bit depressed, and Louis sat in a corner in a daze. This situation had not been a day or two, and the whole room revealed a sense of lifelessness.
There is no way, the increasingly declining trend of the war makes them see no hope, and more importantly, these people have no ability to drive this situation.
The only one that is not bad is Philips. At least he is still in control of the Golden Harbor, and he is barely maintaining the balance in the wilderness south by taking advantage of the pirates.
No matter how much you toss about now, no matter how much you have ideas, but when you put it into actual combat, there is no reaction at all.
Now in the hearts of these people, there is only one thought, when Karen will come back.
They don't know what to do now, just sit here and gossip a couple of sentences every day, just being silent for a while.
The lords on the front line are waiting for their decision, but they have nothing to do but comfort them with a few words of nonsense.
Among these people, Churchill is the most worried, although he is the calmest, but at this moment he is like an ant on a hot pot, eager to solve the problem.
Looking at the dejected looks of each of them, he couldn't help but sighed.
Karen handed over Gold Shining Town to him, but he made such a ghostly appearance. The most important thing is that in the excavation of the ruins of the wasteland, as the host, the wasteland took the least advantage. Now that he is so passive, a large part of it is related to the wasteland about the excavation of ruins.
If they were the ones who occupied the undead relics, they might have driven out the orcs long ago and taken over the entire wasteland.
"Everyone is angry. Katerina has already gone to pick up the boss. If she sees us like this, think about what the boss will think."
He was forcibly cheering up, but there was a cold smile from Louis on the side, "What kind of thought can I have, I asked Gold Shining Town to send troops, if I listened to me, maybe there would be no orc invasion at all."
"Then why don't you keep admonishing me again and again." Hey Moore was a little angry. He looked down on this kind of post-war obedient.
"Again?" Louis snorted coldly, "Didn't you hear that I'm talking all over the place, Kai... The boss is not ignorant of his temper. If he makes up his mind, even ten bulldozers will not be able to pull it back. One person, one way, what can I do, now that the orcs are powerful, and there are many undead soldiers in their hands, even if the boss is back, I don’t think there may be a good way.”
Churchill couldn't bear to hear these words anymore. In his heart, Karen was the most sacred. Without Karen, the wasteland would never have such a situation. There would be no chance for Louis to make sarcastic remarks.
He was calm and said angrily, "Louis, watch your words."
"Pay attention?" Louis looked at Churchill. He used to have a little respect, but now the two have equal status in Gold Shining Town, and with his temperament, he doesn't care about these ritual things, "Come on, let's talk about it." There has been a quarrel, and now I’m going out to get some air, hoping that by then a good solution will fall from the sky.”
But as soon as he stood up, he was stunned. Louis trembled suddenly, staring at the figure at the gate, with a zombie-like smile on his tense face, "Old...Old... Boss, when did you come back?"
Having said that, everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw a figure standing at the gate.
Wearing a black windbreaker and a top hat, the sun cast a long figure on the ground. There was no Katrina or Anna, just him.
I haven't seen them in three months, and they are thinner than usual. They seem to have suffered a lot, but they look a lot leaner. When they look at them, they still have that familiar smile.
The corners of the mouth are curved up, the lips are licked slightly, the eyes are slightly squinted, and they look lazy.
The moment they saw this figure, Churchill and Heymore seemed to have a hanging stone in their hearts, and it became real.
Having said that, Churchill immediately blushed. Obviously, Karen had been at the door for a while, and the embarrassment of their quarrel just now must have fallen into the eyes of the other party.
As the elder of the town of Gold, Churchill naturally had to speak first: "Boss, when did you come back?"
"just!"
Churchill was speechless immediately. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that they were arguing just now. He couldn't help but look aside at Louis. He was the one who quarreled the most just now, but now he's like a hairless rooster. Dare not say a word.
Head down, stand upright.
Rather, it was Karen's laughter that broke the silence of the room. Churchill looked up. Karen had already walked down the stairs and sat between the three of them. It was completely vacated, looked at the crowd and said, "Sit down."
Everyone seemed to have received a pardon, and Xiao Pao sat in front of Karen, looking at his head teacher like a student, not daring to speak.
"Katalina said something about the situation in the wasteland, but I don't know the specifics. Churchill, you are the butler of Gold Shining Town, tell me how the situation is going." Karen didn't want to embarrass these people, regardless of the noise How powerful it is, but the problem must be solved after all, behind closed doors it is all your own problem.
Churchill took the map of the wasteland, and hurriedly said: "Boss, there are basically five or six forces in the wasteland. On the surface, the orcs and the ice fields are united, and the human race and the sea tribe are united. We formed an alliance with the sea bandits, and the remaining one It is the just-rising Temple of Light, they are neutral."
"As for the current area, the Temple of Light occupies the northernmost part of the wasteland. Since their area is not large, they are relatively stable, followed by the Orcs and Ice Fields, forming a large circle of influence centered on Desa City, Human Race and Sea Race He mainly controls the Blue Mountain City and Dalaran, which are closer to the east, and of course he controls a part of the sea in the north of the wasteland."
He took a deep breath, looked at the wasteland area on the map, and said cautiously: "As for us, the area we control now is only one-tenth of the original area. What we really control is the Golden Harbor, the Shining Gold Town, and the Golden Lion Fortress. Although Mississippi has lost a lot, a part of the downstream area is still under our control."
Karen nodded. These are similar to what he knows. These areas are the earliest lands developed in Gold Flash Town, with stable foundations. Judging from the map, among the three batches of territories sold by Shining Gold Town, basically only the first batch remained.
These territories are basically planted with some ancient storm trees, and because of the earliest contact with Gold Shining Town, the military facilities are relatively complete, and they have basically reached the bottom line of Gold Shining Town.
"The situation is not as bad as imagined." Karen summed it up first, and looked at Hey Moore, "When I leave, you will be responsible for contacting the wasteland lords. How are they?"
These lords are the cornerstone of Gold Shining Town's ability to control the wasteland, and they will inevitably suffer great losses in this war, so they naturally need to be concerned.
Black Moore thought for a while before answering the question, "Boss, when we unified the wasteland, there were 752 lords. I will divide it into three periods of territory, one hundred in the first period, two hundred in the second period, and four hundred in the third period." Fifty, from the beginning of the war to the present, the lords of the third phase have completely disappeared, there are still a dozen in the second phase, and there are only more than 70 in the first phase, and now they are basically the main force of our foreign battles."
Enough loss!
Karen felt a little distressed. After all, these people were able to buy the land in Gold Shining Town for the purpose of making money. Now only one-tenth of the land is left, and the investment is really a bit of a loss.
He once wanted to screen out the lords who could really be used by Gold Shining Town from this group of people, but unfortunately, it was a bit too much.
"What is the reaction of these lords?
"There was a commotion at the beginning, but seeing that we ignored it, it gradually calmed down."
Karen sighed. This kind of safety made Karen a little speechless. This is a sign of disappointment with his ability. As long as possible, he would never let others down on him~ www.mtlnovel.com~ Didn't he give them some compensation? ? "
"No, boss, your order is to let them develop freely." Black Moore replied very honestly.
Karen shook his head, this Forbes is a bit too much honestly, this hurts the hearts of those lords, he still thinks about being able to unify these lords, after all, the wasteland is so big, it cannot be managed by him alone .
He couldn't blame Hey Moore, after all, it was an order he personally gave, and the gold was screened out, but the cruelty of the elimination made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Be more flexible in doing things in the future, Hey Moore. Let's make a count in a while. How many lords are still in Gold Shining Town. I'll meet them after the meeting."
Hey Moore was overjoyed, Karen was able to pay more attention to the lord, which is very good, and nodded quickly, "Okay, boss, I will give you the data later, do you want them to gather here?"
"No, it's messy enough here, let's make it your fortress." Karen took a deep breath and straightened up. "Then, let's talk about what to do now."
