"Moreover, there will definitely be a large number of cultists and demonic minions lurking among them. If you want to use this Heaven's Lance, I suggest you definitely don't use it in your main city; find a place that is easy to defend and hard to attack, or build a separate Flash Spear City on a vast plain."
Hearing this, Su Li decisively dismissed the idea of placing the Heaven's Lance in Heisen City. Instead, he decided to build this fortress on the vast plains on the western side of his Territory.
The Empire has a unique style; people here generally live on the plains. Thus, well-developed territories usually have vast plains, fertile fields, and pastures, with castles of Knights scattered among them.
For Su Li to develop the Hesse Territory, having only one city is certainly not sufficient.
By establishing Flash Spear City on the western plains, Su Li could enhance his grasp over the vast Territory alongside White Castle, Heisen City, and Storm Shadow Fortress.
Building a city on the plains does not an it's difficult to defend. Given the vastness of the Border Prince's Territory and its ever-erging monsters, building on the plains is actually advantageous for the Knight Legion's defense. It is at least difficult to hide a large Evil Legion and monster nests around it.
Otherwise, if it's built in the south, a large number of evil monsters would lurk in the shadows of swamps, mountains, and forests.
The Knight Legion would find it difficult to clear and eradicate them.
The vast plains stretching hundreds of miles will fully expose the movents of any enemy troops with designs on the city.
Moreover, having Flash Spear City act as a beacon, attracting the hatred of the monsters, and causing the legions to rush towards it like moths to a fla, also helps to alleviate the erosion and threat to other areas of the Territory.
This allows Heisen City and the surrounding fertile lands and various small religious Holy Lands to focus on developnt and productivity.
Securing the land depends on virtue, not danger, and this virtue can also be martial virtue.
Compared to holding a city behind tall walls until death, Su Li prefers to form a massive Knight Legion to directly crush the Chaos Legion.
Of course, sotis the two are not in conflict. The exact location still needs to be surveyed by the Dwarf Engineers after returning to the Territory.
Currently, Su Li is more concerned with taking away this powerful Divine King's Relic. After Zoe finished speaking, he took out the Nautical Star Map of the Endless Sea and pushed it to the opposing Ramsey family: "Deal reached. This Star Map has returned to its rightful owner. How do we take away Heaven's Lance?"
"Take it away? You can't take it away." Zoe imdiately took the Nautical Star Map, gripping it tightly with both hands, an uncontrollable expression of extre joy and excitent on her face. Having this treasure lost and found, she looked intoxicated by the sll of seawater on it, wishing she could press it against her ample bosom.
Su Li frowned at her, what does it an by can't take it away?
Thinking of reneging?
Or do they feel that now that they've been given it, they can't retrieve it back?
mbers of the Ramsey family promptly explained: "Bauhinia Knight, don't misunderstand. Even in its unexpanded state, Heaven's Lance is over 40 ters, and once fully activated, it towers into the sky, piercing the heavens like a beacon across the entire continent."
"Therefore, only a few of your Air Cavalry cannot take away this massive relic. We need to transport it to your Territory using a giant ship along the Brionne River."
Hearing this, Su Li glanced at Hilude.
His ministers imdiately understood, knowing that the Lord must be lenient and easy-going, so the blunt words should naturally co from them.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hartskline, imdiately slamd the table and asked, "Should we also wait until Heaven's Lance is delivered to our Territory to exchange for the Nautical Star Map of the Endless Sea with you?"
Hilude also slapped his Sword onto the table, and then with a stern gaze looked at everyone opposite, asking, "I don't think our relationship is close enough to trust you like this."
Facing a powerful Divine Chosen Knight, even the proud senator Zoe nervously gripped the Nautical Star Map in her hands, straightening her chest, unyieldingly replying, "Sir Hilude, don't assu that being a Divine Chosen level Knight allows you to do as you please. Our Ramsey family also has the support of the Mannan Church, and it's not a problem for us to ask one or two Divine Chosen Knights to assist us."
Of course, she is also aware that the battle strength of Manan's Divine Chosen Knights is sowhat lacking compared to those of the Sun Goddess.
More importantly, these Divine Chosen would fight to the death, regardless of the price, but the two assisting Manan's Divine Chosen might not fight to the end.
So, after stating her stance, she continued, "Of course, I just want to say there's no need for us to resort to extres. We are here to promote mutual relations, aren't we?"
"When our relationship is close enough, and our interests are deeply tied, can't you trust us then? I heard that your Territory can also produce Spice. I can incorporate your Spice into our trade association system and provide you with a large number of Spice seeds, expanding your production. The annual profits from our cooperation could amount to tens of thousands of Golden Crowns—much better than just holding onto an unusable Nautical Star Map, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Su Li's interest was piqued, and he finally spoke, "Miss Zoe is right; win-win cooperation is sothing I appreciate. You just ntioned incorporating our output into your trade association system; this reminded of sothing—do you have the ans to transport Extraordinary Fish?"
Although Su Li has conflicts with one of Manan's followers, the Blue Mirror Territory, this doesn't an he is hostile towards all of the Manan Faith.
His conflict with the Blue Mirror Territory is purely a geopolitical issue, and nowhere near a level of conflict over faith. On the contrary, he is fully open to cooperating with other followers of Manan.
