Chapter 560 The King?

The forest under the jurisdiction of the elves has recently experienced soil erosion and the invasion of harmful species, and the situation has seriously deteriorated.

As a result, the elves issued diplomatic intervention, demanding that humans not cut down forests close to the elves' borders.

At least, leave the forest at the junction as a buffer zone.

So Earl Cork was not happy again.

Why should I cut down my own tree, and your elves want to interfere?

After the two quarreled, disputes ensued, and skirmishes broke out.

Flynn surveyed the terrain himself and found that both families had their reasons.

As far as Earl Cork is concerned, other forces are not qualified to control the forests in his own territory.

But because Earl Cork carried out large-scale reclamation, half of this originally small forest was almost completely destroyed.

How can there be no eggs under the overturned nest?

Flynn did a field investigation and found that the half of the forest to which the elves belonged had also suffered considerable damage due to logging by Earl Cork, and the soil erosion was very serious.

Both have their reasons, and there is no absolute right or wrong.

This really stumped Flynn.

However, Flynn is now a powerful arbiter, and both forces have expressed their absolute willingness to obey Flynn's ruling.

Therefore, Flynn has the final interpretation.

Flynn didn't know what he was doing was fair or not.

But it doesn't matter, no one will come to judge Flynn, and no one will come to question Flynn.

So Flynn said: "I think you, Earl Cork, do have the right to cut down any tree on your own territory."

"What you have done is undoubtedly legal."

Earl Cork smiled, and as an orthodox earl, he saluted Flynn, a knight, to express his gratitude.

But Flynn did not make a decision that was completely in favor of the earl, but continued: "Although your act of cutting down trees is legal in itself, from the perspective of environmental protection, I do not approve of your behavior."

"Yes, you can do what you do, you are entitled to do what you do, but I don't approve of what you do."

Flynn's words didn't have any threatening tone, but it still made the Earl feel a little nervous, Alexander!
Flynn found this out and took satisfaction in his authority.

Then Flynn deliberately said in a relaxed and joking tone: "It's okay to cut down trees, but don't cut them down so cleanly, leaving some protection for the environment, isn't it delicious?"

After hearing Flynn's words, the dissatisfied elf representatives all nodded one after another, and praised Flynn's right.

The elves said: They didn't want the earl to cut down the tree, but they just hoped that the earl would be merciful when cutting down the tree and not cut it too cleanly.

Leave at least a minimum of saplings, maintain water and soil, care for the environment, and the like.

So under Flynn's mediation, the elves promised not to interfere with any earl's tree-cutting behavior.

Elves, apologize to Lord Cork - for their meddling.

This relieved Earl Cork. After all, his army was only a few hundred people, which was a lot less than that of the elves.

If they really wanted to fight, he would definitely not be the opponent of the elves.

The elves apologized, and at the same time, the earl agreed to set aside a part of the protected area on the half of the forest to which he belonged, plant trees, and send special personnel to maintain it according to Flynn's wishes.

Although most of the remaining forests will be cut down and developed for other purposes.

But the remaining small part can at least maintain water and soil, and keep the water and soil of the elves' half of the forest from being greatly affected.

The elves also expressed kindly that they would send specialized tree-planting experts to assist Lord Earl in restoring the greenery.

The elves are even willing to offer a sum of money for planting trees.

Things developed to the end, both sides are quite satisfied.

Flynn is also more satisfied.

Even a little complacent.

In this mediation, Flynn not only fully demonstrated his authority, but also protected the earth's ecological environment.

Flynn was able to mediate a conflict and dispute very well. After a while of being a judge, it can be said that he has obtained great pleasure on the spiritual level.

A few days later, Flynn sent another 2000 troops to help, and a tribe of civilized orcs defeated their savage orc cousins ​​nearby.

Flynn's 2000 soldiers stopped the provocation of the savage orc tribe and admonished them.

If they still want to hang around in this area, they must abide by the rules and regulations under the Tudou County system, otherwise, this savage orc tribe will be killed!
After a circle of world policemen, Flynn was tired but happy.

Although the tossing back and forth has added a lot of extra workload to Flynn, it has indeed increased the prestige of Tudou County.

The surrounding forces surrendered to Flynn one after another, and more people persuaded Flynn to become king.

The power is in hand, but Flynn does not intend to become the king directly, and the timing is still a little premature.

In the past, the Duke of Zhou had two thirds of the world, and none of them became kings.

I am only in charge of less than 200 million people... Is it really possible to be king?
Flynn thought about it. Regarding the matter of becoming king, it is probably an exaggeration to say that everything is ready.

Probably, he is much more mature than Shu Dad, right?
One thing to say, there are still basic conditions for Flynn to become king.

In terms of population, after accepting the people of the Red Duke, the population under Flynn's jurisdiction has exceeded 150 million.

At this rate, it is not a big problem to break through the population of 200 million, and it will probably be very fast.

Even in the modern age of the earth, there are still many countries with a population of 200 million.

Not to mention that in the medieval era when productivity was relatively backward, a population of 200 million could fully meet the conditions for the founding of a country.

As for the land area, there is no pressure.

Flynn's current land area has exceeded 50 square kilometers!
Put it on the earth, but the level of a big European country like Spain.

As for other elements such as food, minerals, timber, currency, etc., Flynn is also fully equipped.

Tudou County has abundant supplies.

If Flynn really founded the country now, it would be considered a fairly small country with a land of 50 square kilometers and a population of close to 200 million.

But Flynn is still in no rush to become king.

Take it easy.

It's the same sentence - you can be king, but you don't have to.

The main reason is that if you claim to be king like this, you will always feel a bit like a reckless emperor.

Flynn is very orthodox.

Compared with such illusory things as legitimacy, Flynn always felt that his attention needed to be more focused on the New Plaguelands.

In this short period of time, the situation in the New Plaguelands continued to deteriorate.

That once fertile land of human beings has actually become the territory of the demon god Alecto.
