From Wild Mage to Wizard King

After returning to Old Qi City, Roland, who had just revised his plan, immediately fell into an endless overtime hell.

Although Roland looked very handsome for quickly clearing half of the warlord's territory in a month, as a price, Roland had to bear the various difficulties brought by the excessive expansion of the territory.

Although the administrative efficiency of the territory has improved after the administrative reform, the three-month Eastern Expedition and swallowing up the entire warlord territory in one go is still too much pressure for the administrative system that has just completed the reform.

The rapidly expanding territory, the continuous influx of refugees, adventurers from all directions, mercenaries and wandering knights, coming and going, and more and more caravans

The various phenomena occurring in the territory have brought a lot of difficulties to the territory: the territory cannot be actually controlled, the increasingly chaotic population management, the conflicts between outsiders, refugees, and chambers of commerce, and the rapidly rising demand for food.

Originally, according to the plan, the Eastern Expedition should have lasted until August or September.

If it goes according to the plan, the territory can swallow up the entire warlord territory bit by bit.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Odin's sudden visit, as well as the surrender of the Sinar spellcaster, the White Knight of the Glowing Knights, and the dwarf mechanic, disrupted Roland's plan.

Roland could only punch through the entire warlord territory in advance.

Therefore, when Roland hurried back to Jiuqi, he saw a somewhat chaotic and unstable territory.

Fortunately, Julius had been working overtime every day in the past month, and the territory was only a little chaotic, and no major problems had occurred.

Of course, if Roland had come ten days or half a month later, the territory would have really given rise to problems.

Therefore, after returning to Jiuqi, Roland immediately entered the working state, working 24 hours a day without interruption.

The expansion of the administrative system, the management of the population of the territory, the transfer and resettlement of refugees, the population filling and development of the new territory, the cultural and traditional conflicts between different races, the compilation and updating of simple laws, and the creation of grain-making tools.

Received and settled the three military forces that came to surrender, appeased the uneasy people, used Odin as a medium to maintain contact and communication with the border faction, and personally formulated and sent people to implement the material plan to support the border faction.

Contacted representatives of various local factions, through constant negotiations and consultations, through acting, deceived various representatives, and formed a secret joint chamber of commerce at the cost of concessions in grain trade, obtained the right of passage for local caravans, and successfully won over and stabilized the local faction by transferring interests.

Expanded recruitment and adjusted the deployment of troops, and secretly transferred elite soldiers as much as possible while ensuring border security.

Received all three-ring extraordinary people, guided them one by one to promote to the fourth ring, and provided the resources needed by the fourth ring.

He secretly met with Siqi, taught him various theoretical knowledge and development directions, and successfully persuaded the dwarf strange machine masters to transfer them all to the secret base and start preparing for the subsequent strange machine plan.

At the same time, he modified the report and secretly mobilized resources to support the strange machine plan.

Just like the old Qi that had collapsed, some chaotic and unstable territories once again started to operate at a high speed under the promotion of Roland as the core.

In the past, when Roland had no reputation and his territory only had one city, almost no one in the outside world cared about the rapid development of the old Qi.

However, Roland has now made a name for himself. His single-handed killing of the green-skinned high priest and his quick passage through the warlord territory in one month have proved his strength.

The huge and powerful army under his command has also proved that they are capable and strong in the annihilation war and the Eastern Expedition.

After independently swallowing up an entire warlord territory, Roland also became the lord with the largest territory among the rebels.

These three combined have also given Roland the ability to influence the situation.

The rebels were watching Roland and the new forces he had built up.

Therefore, they saw the chaos and instability in the Old Qi territory after it swallowed up the warlords' territories.

When Roland returned to Old Qi, the entire territory quickly regained stability and developed rapidly, which they also saw.

Seeing all this, some people marveled at Roland's ability, some began to plot uncertainly, and some joined him in ecstasy. Of course, some people began to think about how Roland did it.

Although Roland felt that he only squeezed other officials and made them work overtime to prevent the territory from collapsing due to overexpansion, and it was not his own credit, as the performance of the territory spread, the rumors about Roland, which were already exaggerated by the outside world, became even more exaggerated.

However, Roland, who worked overtime 24 hours a day, was not very concerned and had no time to pay attention to these rumors.

He was so busy that he had no time to care about these trivial things.

Moreover, Roland has become a force to be reckoned with now. With his current status and the huge army loyal to him, Roland can ignore the opinions of most people outside.

Even if it is Locke, the leader of the rebels, or the bigwigs of the coalition army, Roland has enough confidence to face them.

Even if the news that Roland wants to stage a coup within the rebels spreads throughout Donnar in an instant, Roland can only fight a full-scale civil war at most.

If it weren't for the Green Tide watching from the side, and Roland's subsequent fight with Kan'ozu would require a lot of manpower and material resources, and he wanted to preserve the vitality of the rebels as much as possible, then Roland would have exploded with the rebels long ago.

Locke is just a high-level knight after all, and he has lost the support of the local and border factions.

Even if he is an enemy of Locke, Roland will not be afraid at all.

Although Roland cannot kill Kan Aozu now, if he cannot defeat the legend of Kan Aozu, can Roland still deal with Locke, a high-level knight?

Moreover, if the border faction either joins Roland or chooses to be neutral, can the neutral members under Locke stop Roland's army?

As for the local faction, they are just a group of fat sheep without military support. At most, some fat sheep will run away, and they are simply unable to participate in the civil war.

Of course, civil war is only the choice Roland will make in the worst situation.

If possible, Roland still hopes to subtly take power from Locke and have a bloodless coup.

Even if there is bloodshed, Roland hopes to be prepared and shed as little blood as possible.

Although people outside didn't know that Roland had won over most of the border factions, seeing Roland's aggressive military expansion and the large number of wandering knights joining him, no faction dared to go against Roland at this time, even if they only looked at the surface strength. They rarely sent spies.

Because Roland was really ruthless. He didn't care about any unspoken rules. Once a spy was caught, no matter if he was an ordinary person or a supernatural being, he would disappear from this world immediately.
