Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

An emotion called despair, which had not been felt for who knows how long, suddenly surged into Fanfeim's heart.

It is invincible!

Such a thought came into Fanfeim's mind, and when he was extremely shaken, the black dragon lowered its head, stared at him with its burning golden eyes, and made a sound.

"Surrender or die."

If someone had asked Vanfeim such a situation before this battle, he would have said without hesitation that he would choose death!

I'm not lying, but that's what he thought at that time.

But after truly seeing the power of the black dragon and feeling the desperate heat, Fanfeim slowly opened his mouth.

"I...surrender!"

Roar--!

As Vanphem gave the answer, the black dragon raised its head and roared at the sky.

As the black dragon roared, the surrounding space was directly distorted.

When the space distortion was restored, the huge figure of the black dragon disappeared from the spot together with Vanphem.

The battle is over.

Not only did Fanfeim lose, he was even taken away...

After watching the entire battle, the entire mysterious side fell into a brief silence, and then... Umbrella Corporation became famous!

In the castle of Lord White Wing, countless dead apostles gathered here.

They are different from the Dead Apostles wandering outside. Every Dead Apostle who can come here wears special white armor and a white cloak that can cover half of the body.

In addition to standardized armor, they also have standardized weapons.

And each of them is just like the White Wing Prince. They did not develop any fancy abilities. Instead, they maximized the abilities of vampires and changed in an orderly manner through training.

Such Dead Apostles can be called elite.

There are many such elite troops in the White Wing Lord's castle.

The White Winged Prince himself was sitting in the castle's hall.

There is a long table in this hall, and around it are twenty-six chairs. When the dead ancestors hold meetings, most of them come here.

In addition to these twenty-six chairs, there is a high platform directly behind the long table.

The stairs on the high platform face the long table.

Then on top of the platform, there is a throne surrounded by the platform.

There are only twenty-seven chairs including this throne.

It corresponds exactly to the twenty-seventh ancestor of the Dead Apostles.

Normally speaking, since a considerable number of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles would never be able to attend any meeting, and some have even died, twenty-six swords would definitely be enough.

But the White-Winged Prince Tefanm Otengluoche chose to place this supreme throne in the most conspicuous position so that every dead ancestor who came here for the meeting could see it.

Many dead apostles thought that this throne was prepared by Tripham for them.

But in fact, even if there was no meeting, Tefanm still sat around the long table. He did not sit on the throne, but just looked up at the empty seat below.

The empty throne represents the identity of Tefan as the crownless king.

And those who really know him know that so far, Tefan has not shown any intention of sitting on the throne.

The King is not among us.

This is the sentence that Bai Yigong often says.

But he did not deny that the throne was prepared for the king.

So gradually, both the dead disciples and the dead ancestors knew that there was a throne in the castle of the White-Winged Prince Tefanm that no one sat on. It represented the king, but also represented the non-existence of the king.

However, it was Tripham, who had this idea, who had been competing and fighting with Altruci, the nominal king of the Dead Apostles.

No one knows what he is thinking.

Some even speculated that Tefanm might simply be unhappy with Altluchi.

But anyway...

"Tefanmu, Altluchi went to the Far East to find the Umbrella Company..."

In the darkness, Nero Chaos, the tenth of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, spoke.

But after hearing this, the White-Winged Prince Tefan just nodded and remained unmoved.

Seeing him like this, Nero Chaos spoke again.

"You are not worried at all, you know, that black dragon defeated Fan very easily. Such strength is enough to be taken seriously."

After hearing what Nero Chaos said, Tefanm withdrew his gaze from the empty throne and shook his head slightly.

"You should know better than me. Although the quality of a single unit can bring many things, what can really influence the direction of the war is the quantity with higher quality."

"That black dragon is indeed very strong, but the White Knight, the Black Knight, the White Beast...even the now injured Altuluchi, which one of them is not strong?"

“But when all the mass is concentrated on an individual, even though it may seem invincible and without weaknesses, it is actually easier to be targeted—and once it is targeted and something goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow.”

There was always a faint smile on Tefanm's face, whether it was when he saw Fanfeim's defeat or when he heard the news about Altluchi.

"My confidence never comes from a strong individual, so when I speak I always say - we are strong."

"Yes, it's not me, but us. We are the most elite, the most powerful, and the most numerous among the Dead Apostles!"

"If Artelucci can't understand this, then she is just a little girl."

"I saw through this as early as when Lord Zhu Yue failed. Even as strong as Lord Zhu Yue was, he still failed after he was defeated... So don't worry, we just need to make moves slowly, look for opportunities and even create them, and the odds of victory are still on our side."

Tefanmu never thought that Altluchi could really defeat him.

After all, his elite army of Dead Apostles already possesses more than 80% of the combat power of the entire Dead Apostles.

Even if the remaining less than 20% were picked up by Altluchi, they were just some of the ones he had left over, or some extremely rare elites, and could not pose any threat at all.

So if Arteluqi wants to recruit foreign aid, let her do it.

If you can pull it in, it means you can account for one more enemy, and by the way, you can also use this incident to pull out and kill all the guys who are potentially hostile to you.

If she fails to pull it or even angers the opponent, then she will have an extra enemy for no reason.

Tefanm wouldn't care anyway.

after all...

You, Artluki, are going to the Far East to look for the Black Dragon. Can you find an army that is more powerful and larger in number than the elite Dead Apostles under my command?

impossible.

If that's the case, then I always have a huge advantage, which in some cases is enough to make me invincible!

Then.

What does he have to worry about?

....

40. Invest in Chaldea

Van Feim was taken directly back to the Umbrella Corporation by Roland.

After arriving here, the Shadow Dragon turned back into a Shadow Puppet and guided Vanphem to Roland.

Then the Shadow Puppet transformed into Roland's shadow again and returned to Roland's body.

"Fanfeim, from today on you are my servant."

Roland's golden eyes were ignited, and the alien divinity directly pressed on Van Feim. This feeling made Van Feim feel energetic.

If his previous impression of Roland was that he was a powerful magician who used unknown magic and could even summon a black dragon, then at this moment Van Feim completely began to feel that Roland was some kind of higher-level existence.

Roland remained in this state, maintaining a steady tone, and told Vanphem about the group of gods bit by bit.

Finally, after explaining the meaning of following God, Roland continued the topic.

"After you become a God, your life belongs to me. You will not even be allowed to show hostility towards me. Perhaps you cannot accept this. I can give you one last chance. If you feel that you are not convinced by losing to Shadow Dragon, then now that you have lost the Magic Castle and I don't need Shadow Dragon, we can fight again. How about that?"

Hearing Roland's words, Fanfeim smiled bitterly.

He is not some greenhorn who has just started out.

Since he was brought here, he actually had no chance to regret. This was someone else's home turf. After his situation was fully understood, they still dared to say so, which meant that they must have been prepared.

So if you still refuse to accept it at this time, you will only be asking for trouble.

His emotional intelligence is not that low.

And he was indeed defeated by the Shadow Dragon.

The moment he saw the seven magic puppets that he had been continuously making and upgrading for so many years being wiped out, Vanfeim was convinced.

Then the answer at this moment is naturally very simple.

He half-knelt in front of Roland and lowered his head.

"No need to do that, I surrender!"

Van Pham gave the answer again, and Roland nodded this time, crossed his hands, supported his chin, and smiled slowly.

"In that case, Fan, go meet Shinji. I will get him to cooperate with you, and then merge your huge financial empire with the Umbrella Corporation."

Roland's words were very direct, and Van Pheam agreed very straightforwardly.

"I see."

Fanfeim's handover was very smooth.

And Shinji accepted it very readily.

After learning magic, Shinji seemed to have undergone a transformation from the bottom of his heart. He was no longer so extreme. The moment Roland asked him to cooperate with Vanphem, he agreed very readily.

Then he gradually realized that although Van Feim suffered a lot because he had not read the advanced business methods book that Roland gave him, Van Feim was indeed far superior to him in other aspects.

Shinji has excellent talent in this area, which is something that Vanphem would also admire.

But he had only been exposed to these things for a short time, didn't understand many of the rules, and had absolutely no experience.

But Van Feim was just the opposite of him.

In terms of talent in this area, Van Feim is just average - but Van Feim was the financial devil almost when the financial world was just emerging, or to exaggerate a little, the current financial world was almost created by him single-handedly, and most of the rules were formulated with his participation.

So it was a combination of Shinji's talent, Vanphem's capital and experience, and the advanced ideas written by Roland.

In the shortest possible time, Umbrella Corporation became the largest capital in the entire Type-Moon world.

It’s not that other forces haven’t thought about intervening.

But if we play normally in finance, we can’t beat others.

Even if you want to try some tricks, you still can't beat others.

Then all we can do is watch it all happen.

Regarding the Umbrella Corporation, Roland handed over most of the problems to Shinji and Van Phimm to deal with - these two were his chosen tools, so he made the best use of them.

However, Roland would still take a look at the applications from some mysterious forces that wanted to set up some large-scale plans in order to attract investment from the Umbrella Corporation.

"Has anything big happened recently?"

Roland looked at these applications, slowly searching for some opportunities that he might not have noticed, and casually asked Medea a question.

Medea stood beside Roland, sorting documents and answering Roland's questions.

"If we talk about the major events recently, first of all, the situation in Europe has become more chaotic. It seems that Altluqi was planning to come to the Far East, but before leaving Europe, she seemed to be blocked by the people of the White Winged Duke. But she disappeared after that, so it seems that she still came here."

Hearing what Medea said, Roland paused in flipping through the documents.

Is Artluqi coming?

It seems that the image of the pharmaceutical company created by the Umbrella Corporation has played a certain role...

"Well, let's wait until that Black Princess comes to discuss this matter. What about the others?"

"The rest is actually almost all our internal affairs..."
