"It seems that the plan is going well, isn't it?"
Staring at the image transmitted from the magic mirror, Zhang Cheng held his chin in one hand and a faint smile appeared on his face.
With Kerwin officially declaring war on the surrounding lords, he had occupied the whole western provinces in less than a month and a half.
Due to the speed, most opponents have not even had time to respond. The solid castle and wall have been captured by endless monsters, and there is no time to ask for help from the outside world.
To be exact, according to the relatively backward communication mode of the planet, it is estimated that the kingdom does not know what happened here.
When they react, there will no longer be any resistance here. They will either submit to being a tool man or be executed by the whole family.
We should know that overthrowing the existing ruling class through riots is not an easy thing in any era. Not to mention the amazing gap in equipment, the quality of mobs and professional armies alone is enough to form an absolute relationship.
In fact, many of the so-called massive insurgents in history were initially ignored by the ruling class. As a result, they gave each other time and opportunities to develop and grow, and gradually turned from mobs to professional armies.
Otherwise, as long as the ruling class takes it seriously, any riot initiated by ordinary people can not really shake the foundation of rule, even outright tyranny.
Ellens touched his chest with one hand, bowed deeply and replied, "of course, master. You have given them so many monsters. It would be waste if even a mob can't fight."
"Don't be too mean. You should understand that there are three distinct states: capture, occupation and rule. The first one only needs to destroy the existing ruling class, the second one needs to destroy most of the resistance forces, and the third one needs to make the civilians in the occupied area accept the new ruler without psychological and physical conflict. Our Lord kelwin is obviously not satisfied with In the first two, he wants to be a real king, "Zhang Cheng explained meaningfully.
After all, conquest has never been difficult. Just like those famous conquerors on earth, whether Alexander advocated by the western world, timuzhen with the title of the strongest butcher, or Napoleon, the greatest commander in chief of France, they seem to have brilliant achievements and bring a large area of land into their own control at once.
But actually?
They are only superficial occupation, not cleaning the original vested interest groups on the land, but giving them benefits and privileges to become their own supporters.
The advantage of this is that it can maintain rule at the lowest cost, restore order in the occupied areas and provide them with a steady stream of resources and taxes.
As for the disadvantages, it is natural that after my death, the huge empire built by myself will collapse and split into countless forces.
There is no doubt that this is the easiest conquest and a political and military speculation. Neither political integration nor cultural integration has been completed.
But Kelvin is different. He knows how to use his power to destroy the original ruling class in the occupied area, attract those who are frustrated or suppressed, and then rebuild the ruling structure to ensure that he will always be the core of the rule.
In this guy, Zhang Cheng feels his expanding ambition.
"King? I don't think so! What's more, just a king who rules mortals is nothing in your eyes. Without your support, he will soon be swallowed up by countless enemies." Allen pursed his lips and made no secret of his contempt for Kelvin.
"Mortal?" Zhang Cheng glanced at the young man with the rest of his eyes, and soon shook his head gently. "Don't underestimate mortals! You should understand that when mortals reach a certain level of power, they can kill gods. What really determines the victory or defeat is never a high position, let alone bullshit fame, but power, absolute power. As long as you are strong enough to kill all opponents, even evil can become justice. But if you don't have enough power , even if you occupy the commanding heights of morality and law, you can't make a strong man pay the price. Power is truth. Power, even justice, can give you everything. "
"I see! Please rest assured that I will not let anyone surpass me. I will always be the most powerful assistant around you." the young man bent down again and saluted.
"I hope so! You know, I'm not a very patient person. I don't have time to wait for you to grow up slowly. So take my gift to Kelvin and help him overcome the coming strong enemy. This is a dangerous test. Prove yourself."
After saying that, Zhang Cheng gently waved his hand to indicate that the other party could step down.
"As you wish!"
Without saying a word, Allen turned and disappeared at the corner of the corridor.
It is not difficult to judge from the flames in his eyes that he is more eager than anyone to have a stage to prove his strength.
However, the young man didn't know that as soon as his front foot left, Zhang Cheng stood up and smiled at the balcony of the top room of the tower. He took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, unknown Master, what can I do for you?"
"Ah! You found me! What a surprise."
With a shrill voice, an unknown creature with a height of less than half a meter and a skeleton slowly came out of the darkness.
It looks like an insect, with a thick shell wrapped around its body, a semicircular head, twelve eyes evenly distributed on both sides, and a mouth like mouth in the middle.
"Are you?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously frowned and directly raised his vigilance to the highest level.
"You can call me Gru! As you wish, I am the master of a chaotic faction. I happened to pass by and found a string wave, so I rushed over to have a look. Unexpectedly, you are playing an interesting game here." the strange master who calls himself Gru explained.
Zhang Cheng obviously didn't understand the other party's intention. He continued to test very carefully: "so?"
"So I think... Maybe I can join the game. After all, the best way to exercise ability is not to think about it by myself. There must be an equal opponent. Of course, I won't directly fight you, but follow what you are doing and choose a force to create creatures with the power of rules. Let's see who is in charge of the power of rules Hold it more thoroughly, "Gru suggested, waving his curved body.
"Sounds good! But I think since it's a game, it's natural to have some rules."
"That's right! Since you are a novice, the first rule is for you to come first."
