King

"Your Majesty, there is news from Lutesia that the Alliance Council has determined the names of the three great kingdoms and the four great principalities of the grasslands.

They are: Farland Wheel Kingdom, Eta Kingdom, Light Kingdom, Gama Principality, Delta Principality, Shillong Principality, and Omega Principality.

The final battle for the throne is currently ongoing. But judging from the current situation, the final result is probably..."

The words came to his lips, but Count Francis could not say them. As one of the top families in the mainland, the Alpha royal family is naturally indispensable for such a grand event.

Unfortunately, the right to speak is ultimately equal to strength. The third kingdom on the mainland, that was the Alpha Kingdom before the war. The current Alpha Kingdom obviously does not have the strength to participate in the competition.

Especially after being excluded from the spoils-sharing team, the Alpha Kingdom lost its right to speak on the prairie. The royal family's participation in the fight for the throne is more like trying to make up the numbers.

"Okay, I get it. I didn't have much hope in the first place, and there's nothing to be disappointed in if it fails.

Founding a country is not that simple. Although everyone's support for the Seven Prairie Kingdoms seems to be very strong, once the Seven Kingdoms are established, the situation will change.

After all, the nobles who went north this time were only the second sons of each family, and it was impossible for them to devote all their family resources to it.

In addition to the necessary early investment of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, subsequent development must depend on them themselves.

If nothing else happens, the seven grassland countries will not be a threat to us in the next hundred years. The meaning of their existence is nothing more than to block the kingdom's northward expansion.

All countries on the mainland are facing various restrictions, so how can the Kingdom be an exception?

It's good to be checked and balanced, so that without external enemies, everyone will be fighting among themselves all day long! "

Caesar III said meaningfully.

The decline of the Orc Empire not only brought benefits to the Alpha Kingdom, but also brought a series of troubles. The biggest trouble is that the kingdom is no longer as united as it once was.

Without the crisis of life and death, it would be too difficult for all the nobles in the kingdom to unite as one.

Perhaps within a short period of time, everyone can still be restrained by habits and tacitly suppress internal strife. But as time goes by, someone will eventually break this tacit understanding.

Compared with external enemies, internal fighting is often the most terrifying. Once the internal fighting mode starts, the national power of the Alpha Kingdom will be greatly weakened.

The reason why we can maintain peace now is because we have just experienced a big war and everyone is tired and has no energy to do anything.

When everyone comes out of their weak state, it will be another scene. Only after everyone has a brawl, completes the internal shuffle, and finds a new balance point, will the situation gradually stabilize in the region.

But at this juncture, Caesar III's body still has problems, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to sustain the formation of a new round of balance.

"Your Majesty, the work of major disarmament has been fully completed, and it is time to change the construction of the standing army.

The Ministry of Military Affairs believes that in view of changes in the international situation, the original construction ideas of the Kingdom's standing army: easy to replenish and high consumption, can no longer meet current needs.

Without the threat of the orcs, the kingdom's military pressure has become routine. It is more in line with our current needs to follow the example of mainland countries in establishing a small but elite force with high combat effectiveness.

This war against the orcs is the best example. The combat effectiveness of the elite troops brought out by all parties in the Human Alliance is far beyond what the kingdom's ordinary army can match.

Especially the combat effectiveness displayed by those extraordinary troops is even more dazzling.

If the kingdom could have a force similar to an Earth Dragon Army, a Tyrannosaurus Rex Army, etc., it would be able to easily handle even the Behemoth Army! "

Grand Duke Efiero suggested cautiously.

Only by witnessing the power of the Warcraft Legion with your own eyes can you understand why the top powers in the mainland are working hard to develop extraordinary troops.

The Kingdom of Alpha was unique before, but it was forced by the orcs to no avail. We can only think of ways to improve combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, and we cannot consider long-term development at all.

As time goes by, the popularity of Warcraft Legion is also a general trend. The biggest problem currently restricting the expansion of extraordinary armies in various countries is: the insufficient number of Warcraft.

However, this problem can be solved with time. In peaceful times, the number of artificially cultivated monsters is definitely on the rise.

Anyone who knows mathematics knows that the difficulty from one hundred to one thousand is no less difficult than from one thousand to ten thousand.

With the expansion of the breeding scale and the advancement of breeding technology, the cost of raising the Warcraft Legion is expected to be further reduced in the future.

Once various countries popularize the Warcraft Legion on a large scale, if the Alpha Kingdom does not follow suit, it will definitely be eliminated by the times.

"Well, investment in this area must be increased. I will send someone to discuss with Earl Hudson and borrow his dragon.

However, whether the seeds alone are good or not, the female animals for breeding must also be carefully selected. It is best to use Warcraft, especially fertile sub-dragon beasts.

In terms of cultivating Warcraft, the Franks are at the forefront of the countries on the mainland.

Their Tyrannosaurus Rex Legion and Pterosaur Legion are not only powerful in combat, but also relatively docile in temperament. It is said that even if you don’t sign a contract, you can still be ridden! "

Caesar III said enviously.

As a monarch, how could he not have a dream of overlord? Unfortunately, the strength of the Alpha Kingdom could not support this dream, so he could only hide his thoughts deep in his heart.

There are many things that cannot be envied. The Franks' Tyrannosaurus Rex Legion was not cultivated in a day or two, but was the best variety selected after many crosses.

Although the level of the dragon is not high, most of them are low-level monsters of the second and third levels. Only a few outstanding Tyrannosaurus can become mid-level monsters, which are also great weapons on the battlefield.

(Remarks: Warcraft levels one to nine correspond to the nine levels of human beings. Low-level Warcraft 1, 2, and 3, Intermediate Warcraft 4, 56, and High-level Warcraft 7, 89)

"Your Majesty, this year's fiscal budget has been set. Military expenditures have already been overspent.

Prior to this, you also approved Earl Hudson's proposal to strengthen the construction of magic crossbow and magic crystal cannon troops.

The Ministry of Finance did not even come up with this part of the expenses. The construction of the Warcraft Legion cannot be completed overnight, so it is better to postpone it for now! "

Marquis Delgado persuaded with a bitter look on his face.

After the war, everyone was celebrating victory, but the bureaucrats in the Ministry of Finance were worried.

Heavy financial pressure has overwhelmed the kingdom's finances. But Caesar III was also a promising leader, and such monarchs are usually more capable of tossing.

Earlier, Hudson proposed to strengthen the construction of magic crossbow and magic crystal cannon troops. Caesar III felt that it was necessary to do so. Now the Ministry of Military Affairs proposed to build a Warcraft Legion, which he thought was good.

This is just military. In other fields, Caesar III also wanted to do it when he encountered good suggestions.

The tragedy is that as long as you want to do something, you will inevitably have to spend money. However, what the Alpha Kingdom lacks the most right now is money, so that as the finance minister, Marquis Delgado can only keep interrupting the king's plans.

He wanted to say something, but after seeing Marquis Delgado's bald head, Caesar III didn't know how to speak.

After a moment of silence, Caesar III sighed helplessly, and then said: "First select a high-quality female beast and conduct a small-scale trial.

As long as the scale is controlled, it shouldn't cost much. After the financial situation improves, large-scale breeding will be carried out.

This is a long-term project, and the Ministry of Military Affairs still needs to pay attention to it.

It is estimated that the big nobles in the country will follow suit, and if necessary, we can cooperate with them to reduce the cost of breeding. "

Caesar III was forced to make this decision. He would also like to have a monopoly, but it's a pity that he no longer has the ability to breed dragons!

Dragons are inherently lustful and have special aesthetic tastes. As long as they send a bunch of female animals there during the estrus season, breeding is basically a no-brainer.

However, if all these operations are to go smoothly, the cooperation of Hudson, the dragon knight, is indispensable.

If you don't understand the dragon's temperament and the specific estrus time, if you send the female animal over at the wrong time, you are sending rations to the dragon.

After all, the dragon's aesthetic is online most of the time. The only ones that can catch their eyes are dragon beauties.

Only during the estrus season will their sense of aesthetics be compromised. In their eyes, almost all female beasts will turn into beautiful girls in an instant.

…

In the mountain territory, Hudson was busy arranging people to take over the fiefdoms. Suddenly there were a bunch of scattered fiefdoms, which put great pressure on territory management.

Fortunately, after several years of accumulation, Hudson has also accumulated some team members, who can reluctantly take over the territory and maintain normal operations in various places.

An ordinary small town is actually very easy to rule. The original nobles had no heirs, and there was no legal bloodline. The remaining servants and serfs had no intention of causing trouble.

In traditional agricultural production, as long as the people sent there don't mess around, everything will continue to operate as usual.

The trouble is city management. In addition to necessary force deterrence, certain management skills are also required. Those with rich management experience are treasures everywhere.

Originally, Hudson wanted to retain some officials, but when he took over the fiefdom, he was surprised to find that all the officials had left.

Whether he was poached or escaped with the money, Hudson didn't have the time to investigate. Anyway, he was left with a mess.

Both Dadir City and Xueyue City are now in complete disorder. It was a reception in name, but in reality it was more like an armed occupation.

Looking at the street stained red with blood, Hudson was filled with anger. There are local ruffians who dare to dominate his territory. He is simply tired of living.

There is no tenderness. Anyone who has done anything in the city will either be killed on the spot for resisting, or he will become a glorious life-long "miner" who does not need to pay a copper coin salary.

Returning to his hometown and looking at Dadir City after it was suppressed, Hudson suddenly had a sense of déjà vu as history repeated itself.

I wonder if this important town in the southern part of the province has been cursed. It has always been plagued by disasters in recent years.

First, he was massacred during the Skull and Bones rebellion, and after finally recovering a little bit of his strength, the unlucky Sheriff of Sithna suddenly ran away again.

The management staff who stayed behind were able to stabilize their position at first, but after the long-term loss of force deterrence, the unstable elements in the city soon revealed their true colors.

It turns out that it is not his own territory, so Hudson will naturally not be troublesome. Now that it has become your own territory, you can't let it go.

As soon as he took action, he almost shed a river of blood. It is enough to prove how miserable the people living in Dadir City really are.

After a series of twists and turns, it is estimated that the aboriginal people who originally lived in Dadil City are almost extinct now.

"Ruke, if Dadir City is handed over to you to manage, what will you do next?"

Hudson asked pretending to be concerned.

What seemed like a test was actually the beginning of adjustments to the territory’s management. Theoretically speaking, going from the person in charge of land reclamation to the manager of a city is definitely a promotion.

However, land reclamation is the core strategy of the earldom. No matter how important Dadir City is, no matter how advantageous its geographical conditions are, it cannot hide the fact that it is far away from the administrative center.

Relocating the administrative center was something Hudson also considered. Unfortunately, the Earldom's fiefdoms are too fragmented. Whether they move to Dadir City or Xueyue City, they are surrounded by other people's territory.

From the safe rear area to the front line bordering all forces, he would not be able to do such a stupid thing unless water got into his head.

As for the remoteness of the territory, traffic congestion, and problems that are not conducive to economic development, they are worthless in the face of strategic security.

Even if they have to move, it will be in the middle of the swamp plain after the swamp is developed.

However, according to the traditional habits of the Aslant continent, the probability of the Lord's Mansion staying in place is still much higher than that of moving.

Sitting on the highest "high mountain" in the southeastern province, and surrounded by "mountains" nearby, it is a strategic and dangerous place!

At least compared to the vast southeastern province, the location of Lord Hudson's Mansion is a natural hazard.

"Earl, I really haven't thought about this issue. However, with Dadil City's superior geographical location, as long as social order is restored, there will be no worries about development.

The biggest problem now is confidence. The continuous turmoil has caused the people to lose confidence in Dadir City. The residents who are now staying in the city are those who want to run away, but have nowhere to go.

If you want to restore the city's economy, the best option is to restore the confidence of city residents, restore the confidence of businesses, and then move some people over, and that's basically it.

If you want quick results, it's best to move the Lord's Mansion here. With your credibility, sir, everyone's confidence will soon be restored. "

After hearing what Luke said, Hudson rolled his eyes secretly. I still haven’t thought about this, but I’ve obviously prepared the manuscript in advance.

If you really have to rush the ducks to put it on the shelf, it will be very difficult to be able to think clearly.

Geniuses who can come up with perfect strategies at a glance may exist in this world, but Luke in front of him is obviously not it.

If he really had that ability, he would be a guest wherever he went, and there would be no way he would be so depressed that he would defect to Hudson, who was not yet a noble man at that time.

But it’s understandable to prepare in advance. Along the way, Hudson expressed his intention to "reuse" him more than once, and we can roughly guess how much.

"It is impossible to move the Lord's Mansion, but your other suggestions are quite pertinent. Next, Dadir City will be handed over to you.

You know me, I never care about the process, I just want the final result.

The time limit is three years. I want to see a prosperous Dadir City that can generate a lot of tax revenue. This is what I am asking of you! "
