#302 - Chapter 302: Imitation of the feudal system
“I think the command of this battlefield can be handed over to me.”
In the very center of the continent, a large man, nearly two meters tall with a full beard, said confidently.
But his confidence lasted for less than a second.
Because shortly after he said this, a sharp and sarcastic voice sounded from nearby.
“Oh?”
“Why should I hand over my precious army to you, a defeated opponent, to command?”
“Based on your terrible performance in the lord assessment?”
“If I were to hand it over to you, I might as well hand it over to myself.”
“After all, my ranking in the lord assessment was higher than yours.”
Hearing this, the bearded man glared fiercely at the owner of the sharp and sarcastic voice.
The other person was a small man of unremarkable appearance, dressed in ornate clothing.
But it was this kind of guy who had suppressed him severely in the recent lord assessment and seized the champion's throne.
That's right, the two of them were from the same city.
However, this bearded man seemed very unconvinced.
“Humph.”
“That was just a matter of luck!”
“If you hadn't received the help of the local hidden forces during the lord assessment, do you think you could have won against me on the frontal battlefield?”
Just then, the appearance of another voice interrupted the two men's quarrel.
“Luck?”
“War is not about luck.”
“As long as you can win, that is strength.”
“If you foolishly believe that winning is related to luck, then you might as well become a gambler!”
“And a terrible gambler who blames everyone else at that.”
The person who said this was a beautiful female lord.
Behind her were two similar-looking, equally beautiful female lords.
From their three similar faces, it could be seen that the three of them must have a very close blood relationship.
This guess was correct.
Because the three of them were the Shen sisters, who were quite famous throughout the real world.
“Do you think there is any meaning to this quarrel?”
The second of the Shen sisters said.
“No matter how we quarrel, we will not be able to make any progress.”
“Because the fact is obvious, none of us will easily hand over control of our armies.”
“Everyone has their own selfish motives.”
“Driven by selfish motives, we will not be at ease handing over our armies to anyone else.”
“We are just a disorganized mob.”
Hearing what the Shen sisters said, many of the surrounding lords secretly agreed with her view.
You should know that there were no fools among the lords present.
They could see what she could see, and they could also see what Wu Wei could see.
It's just that the time it took for each person to see this point was different.
Wu Wei knew this from the beginning.
And they only saw this point after a period of quarreling.
However, seeing it clearly was one thing.
The matter itself had not been resolved.
So hearing what the Shen sisters said, one of the lords spoke up.
“Since you've said so much.”
“Then you must have some idea.”
“If that's the case, then tell us, what should we do?”
The lords present all nodded.
At this time, the shrewd them needed someone to stand up and speak first.
And this lord fulfilled this responsibility very well.
“Actually, the solution is very simple!”
“That is, don't solve it!”
This is...
What kind of answer is this?
Hearing what the Shen sisters said, many of the surrounding lords frowned.
But some people's eyes lit up, because they thought further than others.
They guessed a new possibility.
The Shen sisters continued.
“We can directly imitate the empire's enfeoffment system!”
“Each of you can occupy a region of the continent and treat it as your own controlled area.”
“Of course, if you are willing to occupy more areas, then go ahead and occupy them.”
“But there is a prerequisite.”
“That is, first come, first served!”
“As long as someone arrives in that area first, then the control of that area belongs to that person!”
“Because only in this way can we avoid direct armed conflict and go all out to deal with the subsequent assessments.”
“And every lord who owns an occupied area must ensure that they have the ability to defend their territory, otherwise, you must obey the dispatch of other lords, and the remaining remnants of your troops must also be handed over to the other nearby lords.”
“How about it?”
This sounds like a bad idea.
But the problem is, this may be the least bad of all the bad ideas.
Because this idea can indeed be implemented.
And if this drags on, these people will never make any substantial progress.
However, this plan still has some problems.
“This plan has problems!”
A male lord wearing black-rimmed glasses said.
“First of all, under such circumstances, no lord will actively occupy those marginal continental territories, but will instead place all their military strength inside the continent.”
“In this way, we are more likely to be defeated.”
“Secondly, how can we believe that this is a fair decision?”
“How can fairness be guaranteed?”
“After all, when it comes to interests, there will definitely be lords who will play their own little tricks!”
Hearing what this male lord said.
The Shen sisters smiled.
Things were exactly as they had expected.
And they had naturally thought of a solution long ago.
Wu Wei is not the only one who understands human nature!
In terms of understanding human nature, the Shen sisters, as women, have more advantages than Wu Wei!
