Fantasy Simulator Chapter 276

Chapter 276 - – Common Understanding

“Just a normal territory?”

Hearing Chen Heng’s request, Siriv fell silent for a moment before asking, “Do you have any requirements?”

“Not really,” Chen Heng said as he shook his head, “I just hope that the territory will be big and not be affected by others much.”

“That’s all?”

Hearing Chen Heng’s requirements, Siriv felt quite surprised.

He had thought that Chen Heng would give him some difficult requirements.

After all, with Chen Heng’s current strength, it would be easy for him to obtain a territory anywhere; why would he come here?

He did not expect Chen Heng’s requirements to actually be quite simple.

“If it’s not some prosperous place, I can do this for you, my dear Aktor,” Siriv gave a slight smile and said.

This was naturally no problem.

If he wanted to fulfil Chen Heng’s requirements while also finding a prosperous place with a big population, it would be quite difficult.

After all, such places were greatly contested, and they would rarely go to outsiders.

Even if Chen Heng’s strength was great, it would be very difficult to obtain a territory like that.

However, if it was just an empty, overgrown area, that would be much simpler.

This place was quite close to the Wastelands, and it would be invaded by the Wastelands’ races every now and then.

As such, there were large amounts of unclaimed territory in the Kalo Kingdom, and much of it was unwanted.

As long as one spent some money, they would be able to buy those territories.

In fact, if one had sufficient strength, they could directly enter the Wastelands and take territory for themselves there.

Of course, that was if they could survive against those berserk races living there.

Thinking to there, Siriv’s expression softened and said, “If it’s just that, then I’m sure you’ll receive good news soon.

“From what I know, many rulers have been selling their territories, leaving this place.”

Nobles often sold their territories like they were common goods, and this was quite common in the Kalo Kingdom.

After all, with the Wastelands races frequently invading, the nobles here were unable to go about normal lives and found it difficult to gather wealth.

In fact, in order to protect themselves, they had to expend a great deal of effort to create their own forces.

As such, most people spent great deals of money, and they were unable to gain much every year.

Moreover, because of how chaotic it was, most merchants did not dare to come here for business.

Thus, the rulers’ only income came from agriculture and taxes.

However, this kind of income was evidently not enough to make up for their expenditures on soldiers.

As such, most of the rulers here lost money.

If someone was willing to pay them money for this territory, most of them would be very willing.

With Siriv’s connections and standing in the Kalo Kingdom, if he wanted to, he could find some people with decent territories and buy them. He could then combine these territories to give to Chen Heng, and it would not cost him much.

“However, dear Aktor, I need to remind you of something,” Siriv said as he looked at Chen Heng seriously, “Even though buying these territories is easy, what comes next is quite difficult.

“Aktor, you have great strength, and this can bring you great benefits. However, there are all kinds of dangers in the Wastelands. With your status, it’s not exactly worth it for you to stay here.”

SIriv spoke very earnestly as he looked at Chen Heng.

“I understand,” Chen Heng replied as he nodded.

Siriv was giving him genuine advice.

Chen Heng was indeed very strong, and there were very few people in the Kalo Kingdom who could compare to him.

With his terrifying strength, if he wanted to, it would be no problem for him to establish himself here.

However, from how Siriv saw it, there was no need for him to do this.

With such great strength, why would he want to stay in a run-down place like this?

No matter where he went, he would be greatly welcomed and be able to easily receive a decent territory.

“I understand,” Chen Heng nodded as he met Siriv’s gaze.

He had not come here because of a spur of the moment decision.

Before coming here, he had already thought about the problems he would face here, and he had discussed these things with Herdosiri and Lamu.

What Chen Heng wanted was exactly the chaos of this region.

Chaos meant that there would not be large churches here.

In the current age, even though gods had disappeared, the churches they left behind still remained.

During this age when gods had disappeared, the churches represented gods and held great power.

In a sense, the churches’ power was part of the peace and order, and they held great power in kingdoms.

If Chen Heng went to more prosperous and peaceful regions, he would not be able to avoid the churches there—this was not what Chen Heng wanted.

For now, he did not want to get into anything with the churches.

After all, he was an awakener of a Divine Bloodline, which belonged to the Fire God.

Who knew how the other churches would see him?

Moreover, Chen Heng preferred to start from scratch; even if it was slower, it did not matter.

“If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to receive a reply soon,” Siriv nodded after hearing Chen Heng’s reply, “And it should be good news.

“Before that, Aktor, you and your followers can stay here.”

Siriv smiled as he said, “I’m sure you’ve been through a long journey and want to find a place to rest for a while.”

“We’ll be troubling you then,” Chen Heng gave a slight smile as he said, “In return, if you need anything during this period of time, leave it to us.

“We can’t guarantee we can do everything, but if it’s fighting, I’m sure we can give you some help.”

In order to repay Siriv for helping him, Chen Heng did not mind helping him for a while.

At the end of the day, Siriv was his previous identity’s uncle, and there was a blood connection between them.

Even if Chen Heng established himself here, he would most likely stay in contact with Siriv.

Since it was like that, helping him out was not a big deal.

“That would be fantastic,” Siriv said with a delighted look.

During recent times, the Wastelands’ Orc tribes had been attacking the Kalo Kingdom.

Even though the north side had it the worst, his territory was also somewhat affected.

The small army that had attacked from before had come from the north side, and they were trying to take over other territories.

It was evident that such things would happen in the following days as well.

With Chen Heng and his followers joining, they would take a big burden off him for the following period of time.

Putting aside Chen Heng, just his two followers were Life Knights who had awakened life power.

Just them alone could resist an elite army of hundreds of people.

Moreover, Chen Heng had been able to instantly knock down hundreds of people.

With Chen Heng’s help, most of his pressure would disappear.

Thinking to there, he could not help but look delighted.

“That’s right,” Chen Heng thought for a moment before saying, “I hope that I can recruit those people from before.”

Chen Heng was referring to that small army he had knocked unconscious.

That army was not very strong, and it was made up of ordinary people. There were not too many of them, only 200 or so in total.

However, this would still be something.

Right now, Chen Heng had essentially nothing. Apart from Herdosiri and Lamu, he had no one under his command.

“Those captives from before?” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Siriv frowned, feeling that it was a bit of a pity.

He had been hoping to recruit those people himself, either having them join his army or sending them to plant crops.

The Kalo Kingdom was simply too lacking in population, and any amount of people was incredibly precious.

However, since Chen Heng had brought this up, his ideas naturally evaporated.

As the person who defeated those people, based on this age’s rules, Chen Heng had the right to take them as his spoils of war.

Moreover, his strength was incredibly great, and Siriv would not be able to say no to him.

“Yes, but be careful,” Siriv nodded and said, “Those people are a rebel army from the north and might run away at any moment.

“However, if you use them well, they can be a good support for you,” Siriv said as he gave a bitter smile.

“Moreover, as your relative, I’m willing to provide these people with food and lodging, in return for your help,” Siriv said as he smiled.

“Thank you for that,” Chen Heng smiled as he thanked Siriv sincerely.

They chatted for a while in the room before Chen Heng left.

After walking out, the others were waiting for him.

Herdosiri and Lamu were waiting outside Chen Heng’s room, and hearing Chen Heng’s footsteps, they immediately came to receive him.

“Sir, how did things go?” Herdosiri asked respectfully.

Lamu did not speak, but he also seemed like he was quite interested.

“It went quite well,” Chen Heng said as he smiled, “Uncle Siriv has agreed to help me, and he should be able to find a good territory.”

Hearing this, Herdosiri and Lamu immediately grinned.

Even though they knew there would most likely be no problems, they still felt quite pleased.

They would soon be able to have a territory again.

“There’s also another piece of good news,” Chen Heng said as he looked at them and smiled.

“Those captives from before are our spoils of war, and we can take them in and train them.

“Uncle Siriv has agreed to provide them with food during this period of time, so we won’t have to worry about that.”

“That is undoubtedly good news,” Herdosiri said with a smile, “Looks like we now have our own soldiers, even though they’re not that great.”

Herdosiri and Lamu both felt quite good.

As Knights they naturally hoped to have their own soldiers.

Even though Life Knights were quite powerful, if they had their own soldiers, they would be able to have more of an effect on the battlefield.

It was just that before, they did not have the circumstances. Now, with those captives, they had an opportunity.

Now that the key problem, food, was being solved by Siriv, they did not have anything to worry about.

“Alright, let’s have a talk.”

Chen Heng sat down in the room and said, “That’s how things are; what do you think?”

“I think it’s quite good,” Lamu said as he nodded, “For him to provide them with food for us, it’s not a big deal for us to help him for the time-being.”

“Yes, and we can also check on the situation in the surroundings and make plans for the future,” Herdosiri also gave his opinion.

In the end, Chen Heng summed up everything.

This was the status quo between the three of them.

Different from the people in power from the Malido Kingdom, even though Chen Heng had great power and a high status, he was still willing to listen to the opinions of others.

Whenever he made a big decision, he would consult with Herdosiri and Lamu before making a decision.

By communicating like this, they would avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future.

As for Herdosiri and Lamu, they felt quite respected and naturally quite liked this.

Over time, they became used to it.

After this discussion, they got up and went about their own tasks.
