Lord of War

Sean didn't set off with William for the time being, but he didn't stay in the wild fortress either.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, what he could be sure of was that Lake had obviously encountered a lot of trouble, otherwise he couldn't give up the possibility of personally coming to trouble him. And if this is the case, Sean is of course willing to take advantage of this precious time to solve some troubles.

Like the feud with the fascist kingdom, and the deaththorn problem.

After all, he cheated Deaththorn once, so it is normal that Deaththorn would come to trouble him, but Xiao En did not expect that the other party would actually play word games with him. At least in Xiao En's opinion, such a small trick as playing word games is really a little low-class, and I am sorry for Deaththorn's status as a powerful and large organization.

At least in a different position, Sean felt that once he promised someone or something, then he would definitely not play these boring word games.

It's just that Sean doesn't know that in recent years, his behavioral logic that has no rules at all has given him the private title of "Mad King", so in fact Sean has really killed many organizational forces. I was cornered. Although he himself doesn't know exactly what's going on, the fact is that in the entire Southern Continent, Sean has blocked many people from getting rich.

If it wasn't for the growing strength of the Void Principality, and the increasing number of strong men under Xiao En's command, he would have been assassinated many times without knowing it.

William and Hella never told Sean that the assassination force in the Void Realm had grown extremely rapidly in recent years-this special operations force that was responsible for assassination and anti-assassination could only truly grow in combat. Although Luke, the most powerful among the members, has not officially entered the sanctuary realm, the number of gold-level powerhouses alone is enough to make many small and medium-sized assassination organizations dumbfounded.

However, assassins and killers are still weaker than fighters of the same level in a head-to-head battle, so it is not an amazing development. What's more, the members of the Void Blade, a special force, all grew up in a quick way. This makes them even in the battle of peers, unless they are in the traps and ambushes prepared in advance, they will often be at a disadvantage.

Sean is dealing with things at this time. It is to browse what happened in the entire Void Principality during his absence.

As the grand duke of a principality, a future emperor of the empire. Sean can delegate power, but he absolutely must not be ignorant of the development of the entire country. Neil, Hella, William, and even Diana expressed their gratitude for Sean's decentralization and trust, but it was precisely because of this gratitude that they were so loyal to Sean, and they also made the entire country All his movements were compiled into a book, and then handed over to Sean for reading at this moment.

At the very least, he must know what the whole country is doing now. What are you going to do, what are you going to do in the future.

If it's a fatuous and incompetent emperor, then naturally it doesn't matter, but everyone knows that Xiao En is not such a person.

Sean is now in the office and study room of the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the lake.

The distance between here and Oasis City is about ten days. It is one of the many cities built as the third phase of the plan after the construction of Oasis City. The main purpose is to replace the already saturated Great Rift Valley and Oasis City. The population of the wild tribes was diverted. At the same time, starting with Lake City, the Principality of the Void will gradually begin to build various cities, small towns, and villages in the old areas of the barren land.

At the same time, greening and restoration of the abandoned land will be carried out until the entire public road network is laid.

Naturally, some suitable and important places will also be selected. Build new forts and fortifications. As for where this expenditure was obtained, it was naturally through the occupation and looting of the fascist kingdom and compensation for those enemy countries that participated in the plan that caused the civil strife in the wild tribe.

The surrender of the tribes in the wild land also made the whole wild land completely fall into Xiao En's hands. Although it has not been officially announced at present, the high-level officials of the Duchy of the Void know that this territory is already part of the territory of the entire Void Empire. .

Therefore, Neil directly divided the entire barren land into 31 regions. Together with the Great Rift Valley region, there are a total of 32 territories. If you count the territory of the Duchy of the Void and the currently occupied Millennium Covenant region. In the future, the Void Empire will be able to confer rewards of thirty-five real grand dukes—the areas divided by Neil are all divided according to the area of ​​the standard grand duchy.

The so-called Grand Duke. It is one level higher than the Duke and one level lower than the Prince. And there is no Grand Duke who declares the establishment of the principality. Their territories are larger than regular duchies, and their standard area is often equivalent to the size of two standard duchies.

Of course, even if the Void Empire is established in the future, it is impossible to really reward thirty-five real grand dukes. There must be other titles, and those other titles can only be divided from the existing territory. However, considering that sooner or later the entrances to the other four areas of the wild land will be recovered, and the utopia that Sean has already revealed, the Void Empire can set up a total of nearly forty grand dukes with land.

In other words, at least eighty dukes.

And according to the judgment standard that the superior standard collar is equivalent to two lower-level standard collars, even after the Void Empire is established, there will never be a shortage of territories that can be used as rewards. However, compared to the five empires that have been famous for a long time and have not fallen from the title of the seven empires, the territory of the void empire is still smaller.

Not to mention anything else, the Emerian Empire, which has the largest territory, now has nearly a hundred dukes who own land. And even the Qinas Empire, which attaches the most importance to the inheritance and strength of the nobles, did not arbitrarily confer rewards on the ground. There are more than seventy dukes alone. on top of the Void Empire.

This is the real imperial background and imperial strength.

It is also the place where Sean can intuitively feel the gap among the various information that Sean has browsed in the past few days.

It has to be said that Neil, who is the strangest existence among the forest elves, does have a very powerful talent for administrative ability. Not only can he arrange all the seemingly tedious and boring things in an orderly manner, but also the sorted out information can make people Viewers can intuitively understand which information is the most important. Which information is secondary. At the same time, Neil will also list out the reference guidelines and pros and cons for some administrative processing and arrangements. And possible consequences, etc., and even around these consequences, disadvantages and other issues. Corresponding countermeasures are given.

It can be said that from the Knights' Land and Barony's Land that Sean managed at the beginning, to the Void Territory, then to the Void Principality, and even the future Void Empire, it was all because of Neil's arrangement that it was so easy and not chaotic. If it weren't for Neil's help from the beginning, it would be impossible for Sean to have the Void Principality with such perfect mechanisms today, and even the so-called Void Empire in his mind may have to be delayed for several decades. possible to achieve.

Gently put down a document in your hand. This is the last document Sean read these days, and then he rubbed the center of his brows, his slightly tired face finally relaxed a bit: "Finally finished reading it."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Sean's voice seemed a little brisk, he knew who was coming, "I said, Hella, you have learned from Neil's fault, you have to knock every time... Didn't you say it's over! Why are there so many files!"

Originally, Sean wanted to say hello to Hela easily, but he didn't expect to see Hela walking into the room with a lot of documents. And following Hela was Harding, the master of the demons. Of course, he also held a lot of documents in his hands. Obviously it was for Hela.

"You used to look at old files from previous years, but now these are from this year, and some of them are old files that have been backlogged. Even Neil and we haven't dealt with them, and have been waiting for you to be free. Arrange it later." Hela looked calm and slightly indifferent, but judging from the smile hidden in her eyes, it was obvious that she did it on purpose, "Neil said, it's rare to deceive you, I must let you Finish all these things. Because you are not like a lord at all, but like an adventurer. So you can only solve these things once when you still remember that you are a lord."

"Sigh. I knew it was not that simple for Neil to ask me to come here." Sean said with some pain and helplessness, "You clearly know that I am here this time to meet with those people from the Haytham Institute. Let's discuss it..."

Before Sean could finish speaking, Hella had already spoken: "Magic technology has been successfully developed, but it is still not enough to meet your miniaturization requirements. The Haitsen Research Institute said that many of your strange Ideas and theoretical knowledge give them a lot of room for improvement, so I will definitely do my best to help you solve these things, and it will be the price of buying your knowledge."

"If there is no way to miniaturize, there is no way to use it in the new generation of shock shield technology." Sean frowned and said, "Every time the shock shield is turned on and off, it is a waste of service life. If the battle is more intense, a shock shield will not be able to be used several times at all, which will always be a bottomless pit for military expenditure....and..."

"The research on the magic cannon has come to an end." Hela knew what Xiao En wanted to say, so she simply said the result.

"Really?" Sean's eyes suddenly lit up, "This is really good news!...Then there is..."

"The development of the magic charger has also been completed, and it is currently in the testing stage, but it is not stable enough." Hela continued, "However... if you want to forcibly open the underground passage of the Gapland Fortress, there is no problem. However, according to the energy assessment, the safest and most stable channel can only be accessed by two people, and then the power components need to be replaced to recharge.”

"What time?"

"The slowest is ten years, the fastest... can't be evaluated for the time being." Hela put down the documents in her hand, then took out one of the documents, checked it before answering.

This time, Sean did not go to trouble with the Fascist Kingdom with William, but ran to the wild land, because he heard that several main factions of the Hayerson Research Institute had come here, and they were studying the former Sean The subject of magic technology mentioned above. Although judging from the current situation, the first-generation magic technology power machine is still in a relatively large-scale structure and cannot be directly applied to some small devices, but it is no problem to develop magic guns and use it as some power machines.

In Sean's concept, the newly built defensive functional fortresses in the wilderness basically have to be equipped with magic cannons. At the same time, the defense mechanism of the fortress must also use the magic power machine as the power source, which can greatly reduce excessive costs. troops. Thus implementing real sharpening.

Of course, magic cannons can still be used to threaten the army, but for those who are above legendary. The threat is not high, not even as good as the seventh or eighth rank army.

As for the development of the underground world channel left over from the underground research room established during the cooperation between the Millennium Covenant Empire and the Darbion Kingdom. It was because of Harding and Rotikabas. Xiao En once promised them that one day they would return to the underground world in a dignified manner, so now that he has this opportunity, of course he will not break his promise.

It's just that Harding, the master of the demons, is still staying in the Principality of the Void.

Rotikabas has not returned since he went out to search for the remains of the riding god a few years ago, and even the information contact has been completely cut off. No one knows whether he is alive or dead. Harding thought Rotikabas was dead. It's just that the Void Principality still acquiesces that he is still alive, and has not canceled his status in the Void Principality.

"Can the magic cannon be used in actual combat?" Sean asked.

"Five doors have been developed, and they are now handed over to Sir William, who is in charge of the actual combat test this time." Hela said.

"Hey, the Kingdom of Fascism has given us so many gifts one after another, this time it's time for us to repay them and give them some surprises." Sean chuckled lightly, "That's right... you send someone to the Wild Fortress Alisa, take it here. She has a very special weapon called a magic gun. It is very close to the technology principle of the magic gun I designed before, and it can even be said to surpass it on some levels. It should be able to give Haier The Mori Research Institute is of great help to the miniaturization of magic technology."

"I see." Hela nodded. "In addition, I have received information about the Void Realm. As Lord William predicted, the countries in the other three regions of the Wild Land are a little ready to move. It seems that they intend to invade the Wild Land while Lord William is leaving."

"Then how are you getting ready?" Sean has already begun to look through the batch of documents that Hela just took out. Unlike the previous batch, which was just to get a general understanding, there are indeed quite a few documents in the new batch. He needs to review and issue instructions, which will undoubtedly increase Sean's workload, "When William left, he said that all the defense and arrangements here are left to you."

"Basically ready, but if there are too many powerful experts, then my arrangements will not be effective."

"Don't worry." Sean nodded slightly, "Alexis will come to support you after she finishes solving the matter on the side of Deaththorn."

"Actually, when it comes to this, I don't understand." Hela frowned, "It's fine to go to war with the Fascist Kingdom, why bother to provoke Deaththorn at the same time? I think we can wait until the Fascist Kingdom is defeated, and then go to the Fascist Kingdom." Trouble with Deaththorn."

"It doesn't make sense." Sean shook his head, "Those guys from Deaththorn, once they find out that we are at war with the fascist kingdom, they will definitely know that I am taking revenge on the Peace Council... But I want to establish an empire, and there is indeed a conflict with the Peace Council." The contradiction in the negotiation, anyway, the result is that Deaththorn will definitely turn into a more hidden state, and it will be even more difficult for me to find trouble with them. It is better to let Alexis destroy the branch of Deaththorn now, directly Completely remove the power of Deaththorn from the Southern Continent."

"Then if that's the case..."

Xiao En knew what Hela wanted to say, so he took the words: "Clean up the dead thorns first, and then go to clean up the fascist kingdom?"

Hella nodded.

"It's the same reason. Some evidence, once expired, cannot be used to speak." Sean said lightly, "You should see this more clearly than William."

Hela thought for a while, and immediately understood: "I see.... Those guys in the Peace Council, because they really owe us this time, and they don't want to make a mess with us, so they will let us go Only by taking this opportunity to send troops can we wipe out the Fascist Kingdom in one fell swoop, and when the Peace Council discovers our intentions, they will basically be unable to stop the fascist Kingdom from destroying the country.”

"It's not that I don't want to fight with us, but..." Xiao En thought for a while, but couldn't find a good word to explain the obvious division in the Peace Council, "Forget it, it's good for us anyway, And you can also test the power of the magic cannon, there is nothing wrong with it."

Hela nodded. Although she didn't quite understand why Xiao En didn't speak half of what he said, she didn't have the heart to find out the truth, so she turned and left. But when he was about to go out, he turned his head to Sean and said, "By the way, I almost forgot one thing. I just received the summons today."

"What's up?"

"The Knights of the Dark Moon Gun of the Twilight Church have left the capital of the Kingdom of Lane, and are now heading towards the Principality of the Void. They have already contacted Neil, and they will arrive at the Strand Fortress in a month at the latest." Hai La said again, "What Neil means is that after you finish dealing with this matter quickly, go back and receive him."

"The Church of Twilight?" Sean was stunned for a moment, "Could it be Elsie?...Hey, this guy is a bit interesting, and he really made him a fool."

"Your old friend again?" Seeing Xiao En's happy expression, Hela asked.

"Well, a friend I've known for a long time." Sean smiled.
