Great Nobleman

After hearing Mr. Claude's joke.

Brand put down the straw, took a deep breath, and then said indifferently:

"Come on, come on, we are also planning to keep a low profile, and we usually don't plan to go out alone.

I have been thinking about the construction of the castle and the construction of the territory these past two days.

If we successfully advance to the Endless Sea, I also need to consider the construction of docks and ports. "

After a short pause, under the surprised looks of several elders, Brand thought again and said:

“Actually, I want to find the family that produces relevant raw materials to communicate with and place an order in advance.

When the war ends and everyone starts building their territories, the price of these materials should increase.

In addition, I am also considering whether to lead the library members to turn their energy to production while the war is not over yet.

Make a batch of war consumables such as knight golems, spell scrolls, and alchemical potions to earn a fortune in magic gold coins.

If the war ends, the prices of these things will definitely drop significantly! "

After roughly speaking his thoughts, Brand finally added:

"Of course, if you need it, you are welcome to come to us to make a reservation, and I will give you a discount!"

Listening to Brand's slow narration, the moods of several elders gradually became a little complicated, and only Mr. Holland could still laugh.

Now it is clear that there is still a long time before the end of the war, and the orcs are acting particularly strangely. In addition, leopard assassins are about to arrive on the battlefield. It is difficult to say whether the subsequent war will be good or bad.

But Brand has shifted his attention from the war to the aftermath of the war.

Such a detached posture means that he should have obtained enough military exploits to exchange for a territory that satisfies him!

After a brief silence, Mr. Holander broke the weird atmosphere with a light cough.

Then, he reminded:

“It is certainly a rational choice to accept the situation when it is good, but once this war is over and we want to gain more territory, we don’t know how long we will have to wait.

So it’s okay to be greedy now…”

In the middle of Mr. Holland's words, Brand shook his head and interrupted:

“Uncle Jonas told me that there are limits to acquiring territory through pioneering wars.

From barony, to viscounty, and then to earldom.

Every time the size of the territory crosses classes, the subsequent required war contributions and merits will increase exponentially.

And even if you acquire a large territory, you still need to invest enough resources so that the territory will not be abandoned and the overall prosperity will be maintained to a certain extent.

This was especially important as the pioneering wars ended and the empire began to establish maritime trade routes.

I heard that the empire seems to be prepared to punish those who have exchanged their territory for construction and are holding back everyone. "

After saying this, Brand crossed his arms and added:

"Of course, this is just an undisclosed plan, and it has not yet been discussed in the Noble Council on whether to implement it in detail."

Hearing this series of events described by Brand was "distant".

Mr. Holland felt that he was a little unable to answer the question.

Mr. Robert on the side quickly shook his head and said:

“Our eastern coalition’s advance has only just passed its halfway point.

In the end, it may not even be possible to successfully reach the endless sea.

How could this kind of plan, which is based on the victory of the war, be discussed in the Parliament of Nobles at this time? "

Hearing this, Brand shrugged and said:

“It’s not a bad thing to have some foresight.”

At this time, Mr. Mesa, who had been silent for a while, interrupted:

"Let's discuss these things later. Our Mesa family should be able to meet your manpower needs by then, and we will definitely give you the maximum discount."

After a small advertisement, Mr. Mesa turned the topic to business:

“Now, let’s talk about the current war.

Because our eastern coalition advanced too quickly, many problems were left behind.

Therefore, after the orc reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, we are bound to encounter a series of troubles, and the defense lines everywhere may usher in fierce counterattacks from the orcs.

A supply line that is too long will inevitably receive the attention of the orcs.

We now need to choose a suitable destination. "

…

After staying at the coalition command headquarters for a day, according to the results of the previous discussion.

The army moved north to join the main army that was spreading and advancing.

After cleaning up the orc wild strongholds along the way, following other legions, they uprooted two orc medium-sized fortresses with Titan orcs huddled inside.

They and several other pioneering legions left the main force of the coalition and headed west.

We came to a gentle and high place with a relatively wide view and stopped to build a station.

Currently, the main force of the coalition forces will reach two-thirds of the eastern coalition's Northern Expedition in a few days.

Their current location will be one of the defense lines on the west side behind the main force of the eastern coalition.

In the past few days of advancement, the orcs have not put up any decent resistance.

In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, Brand and the library members did not take any action.

Most of the time, they are responsible for the task of guarding the baggage.

Occasionally participating in the attack on the fortress, they mostly paddled aside, leaving the stage to the Holland Knights, who had not been to the battlefield for a while, and the Claude and Cecil Wizards.

In my free time, besides drawing some rune circles.

Brand also led everyone to design the "wings" of the Earth Knight.

Because these wings will eventually be controlled by Catherine.

Therefore, Brand also strictly referred to Catherine's opinions during the design process.

And since Catherine only had a vague feeling coming from her bloodline, she didn't even think that it would be a pair of wings at first.

So this process is also relatively slow.

From the initial position of the wings to the detailed structure.

to the type, appearance and size of the wings.

Their discarded blueprints filled several tables.

A large area of ​​desert is also filled with abandoned physical structures in the simulated world.

In order to make this research smoother, Brand even conducted an in-depth study of the wing structures of various flying monsters in the Farnes Continent.

At this point in time, after revising the design again and again according to Catherine's vague feelings.

What has been established is:

The pair of wings in Catherine's extraordinary bloodline should be a pair of wings.

But what is different from ordinary bird wings is:

This pair of wings can be used to attack, and it seems to have very high "strength", no less than a weapon!

This is somewhat similar to Yingren.

The Yingman's wings can become very hard during battle, capable of breaking metal and cracking rocks.

Of course, what Brand can also be sure of is:

The wings in Catherine's bloodline are not the wings of the Eagle Man.

After repeated feedback from Catherine.

This pair of wings is very large and not at all like the proportions of a Yingman's wings and body.

Plus, it's more like an elemental structure that can expand and contract in small increments!

In order to create such a pair of wings for the Earth Knight.

Brand and the library members have also been having a headache recently.

We even encountered an unavoidable problem:

“The difficulty in design is still secondary, given the current strength and number of people in our library.

I'm afraid it would be difficult to afford such a pair of huge and changeable element-like wings on the basis of the four arms and snake hair of the Earth Knight! "
