System vs Rebirth

'Is he crazy? He wants us to invest in an area that has nothing in it?'

The three merchants couldn't help but furrow their eyebrows.

"Are you sure you would like us to invest in this land?" Maxwell couldn't help but ask, thinking that the Marquis had gone crazy. He might not have misunderstood the marquis the whole time.

However, Noel shook his head calmly as though he had expected this kind of reaction. "Why do you think this land is not worth all that? I have even begun building the city there."

"!!!" They looked confused, wondering if there was indeed another reason for that city.

Maxwell turned his focus back on the map before taking a step back, looking at the entire map.

'Why does the Marquis want to create a city there? Well, it's true that as a marquis, he has to develop the land, so it's obvious that he will create one city after another. However, is there something special to this land?

'The Marquis's main city is located north of this town, which is not far from the border of the Greenwood Kingdom. So, it could be said that this city is the easternmost city in Lounstein. Expanding to the west and north is something he should do…

'But if I'm not wrong, the Marquis is given the current demon territory, which he will gain after clearing up the area. So, I think he should prioritize expanding to the north.

'Why would he go to the west… No, wait. This is…' Maxwell suddenly noticed something.

Noel's main city was connected to the rest of the kingdom through Laivaen City. But south Laivaen City was actually the territory of Earl Canmond, who happened to be his enemy.

If Earl Canmond blocked his territory, there would be no way to get the supply to the main city. In addition, the migration path had always come from Southwest, but this was not the main channel. In fact, he heard that the noble located in that path had a clash with Noel because of the price he set up before Noel took over the territory. The city hated this place quite a bit.

In other words, if he wanted to connect to the rest of the kingdom without going against these two nobles, he could simply expand to the west.

And this new city, located west of the main city, was such a place. In other words, this would be the main hub for Lounstein.
