Lord of War

"That Thundering Valkyrie?" Neil asked with a puzzled expression. www.{dyzww.{net{m{

"Yes." Sean nodded.

"Why does everyone like her?" Neil muttered, looking very puzzled, "Tell me first, is it because you fell in love with her that you want to become her pioneer knight, or is there another reason?"

"Is there a difference?" Sean was stunned, so he asked back.

"Of course there is a difference. If there is no difference, why should I ask you?" Neil curled his lips, looking like an idiot.

"Actually, my real goal is to become a lord. Although there are wars all over the Miracle Continent, it is obviously impossible to rise to become a lord through a single war." Sean thought. After a moment, I began to narrate my reasons, "So my goal is to start with pioneering knights first. I am still young, and my followers are also young, so it takes a few years to lay down a territory and become a lord. These I can do it all....And the most important point is that Asuna also started from scratch as a pioneer knight, so being a pioneer knight under her command is much better than being a pioneer knight under others."

Neal was noncommittal.

Seeing that Neil didn't speak, Sean thought for a while and then said: "At least that's what I think. As long as I have achieved my achievements, she will definitely not become an obstacle that stops me from moving forward."

"Then what can you bring to Asuna?" Neil asked.

"War." Sean said without thinking, "Asuna has long wanted to send troops to the Dabion Kingdom again, but there is no excuse, but I can find a suitable excuse for him. ...... but not Now, at least after I become an official lord."

"In other words, you didn't fall in love with Asuna or be overwhelmed by her charm, but just want to use her as a springboard?" Neil raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Sean thought for a while, and it was indeed understandable.

"Then my suggestion to you is to come directly to the door." Neil said calmly, "Tell her that you can give her a war, an excuse to start another war against the Kingdom of Darbion. In exchange , she will provide you with a certain degree of protection, which includes granting you the title of knight and the status of pioneering knight.... Well, maybe you can do a little bit more in this regard, so that you can even get a jazz fief as your base."

"It's that simple?" Sean was a little dumbfounded.

"How difficult do you think it is?" Neil asked back,

"According to what I have learned, Asuna's entry is actually very simple and very fragile. As long as you can give her what she needs, then you can get back what you need, which is very fair. Equivalent exchange, isn't it?... But the real difficulty of this problem is how to convince Asuna that you can give her a reason to go to war."

"I've already thought about this." Sean said in a deep voice, "Beyond the border line where the two armies of the Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Dabion meet, there is a wild land, which is the most important trade route of the Kingdom of Dabion , as long as I intercept this route, the nobles of Dabion will come to trouble me, and as long as the trouble is big enough, Asuna will have an excuse to send troops."

The wild land is just a general term privately used by various countries. In fact, this land is called the United Nations of wild tribes. There are more than a hundred tribes living here. These tribes are large and small, and the races are extremely extensive. From half-beasts, beasts to humans, barbarians, gray elves, etc., you can find them in It can be seen from this land that although these tribes call themselves the United Nations, they are actually fighting among themselves.

On average, at least three new tribes are born and one or two tribes perish every day. There are many reasons for this kind of demise. It may be the internal fighting between the tribes, or it may be the attack of the slave team, and it is more likely to be the attack and suppression of the army from several surrounding countries. All in all, this is an extremely chaotic place, but It is also an extremely important place, because the entire barren land is full of invisible wealth.

This piece of land provides a steady stream of slaves for several surrounding countries. It is an important trading place for several surrounding countries, and it is also a piece of hard meat that will definitely break its teeth if it is occupied by a single family—at least other surrounding countries will never agree. Whoever monopolizes this land, even if it is the Millennium Covenant Empire. I don't know why, but as the most powerful empire in the surrounding area, the Millennium Covenant Empire seems to maintain the consistent tradition of this land, and has not completely occupied it.

It seems that all the surrounding countries have reached a consensus on this.

After Xiao En said that he would cut off the trade of the Dabion Kingdom on this land, it would be equivalent to cutting off nearly half of the Dabion Kingdom's economic sources. The country swallowed it.

"Leaving aside whether you have the ability to cut off the tentacles of the Dabion Kingdom extending to this land, the fact that you are a pioneer knight under Asuna's command is enough to make Asuna suffer extremely strong condemnation. Neil shook his head, "Don't forget, now the Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Darbion are at peace, if you act rashly, you will only implicate Asuna."

"William, can you find an excuse for war in this land?" Sean turned his head to look at William, "It won't bring trouble to Asuna in public opinion."

"If you just let the nobles of the Darbion Kingdom attack you first, it's not a big problem." William thought for a while, and then said, "As long as those nobles attack you first, then we There is a positive reason to start the war....It's just that this layout will take a little longer, we need to have our own base first, and this base must also connect with the territory of the Kingdom of Darbion."

"Since you said so, then there is no problem." Sean turned his head to look at Neil, and said, "Look, the problem is solved."

The simple conversation between Sean and William covered up this problem, and Neal was still a little surprised. But what surprised him was not the content of the conversation between William and Sean, but William's attitude towards Sean.

"Have you become his follower?" Neil looked at William in astonishment as soon as he arrived.

"Yes." William did not deny this point, "Actually, we came to you this time because we hope you can join us.... You know, if a territory is to develop, it must deal with internal affairs and recruit personnel. But at present, none of us have talents in this field, and you are my good friend, so I recommended you to Sean, and traveled all the way to come here."

Hearing William's sudden invitation, Neil fell silent.

"As long as you are willing to join us, no matter what conditions and requirements you ask, I will try my best to meet them." Sean said sincerely, "If you want to continue studying your hobbies, I will Financial assistance can also be provided...Mr. Neil, you have experience as a staff member of many lords, so you must be very clear about how important an excellent staff member is to the development of a territory."

"For any lord's success, there must be an aide and think tank behind it, because people's energy is very limited..."

"Let me think about it." Neil shook his head, interrupting Sean's long speech, "I do know the importance of a staff member to a lord and a territory, but for a staff member, A lord's character is also very important... I don't know you well, and I don't know your temper. Today is just the first time we met, and you don't even have a territory, so now you want me It's obviously not realistic to join you."

Hearing what Neil said, Sean knew that he had prepared several speeches, but none of them would be useful, because this Neil seemed very easy-going, but in fact he was very stubborn. From his words, Sean could already feel that this Neil was obviously not very optimistic about his future, but after thinking about it, he could understand how a lord who didn't even have a territory could recruit staff What about assistance?

Both William and Cecilia could clearly hear the subtext in Neil's words, so they didn't say anything.

"Since you already have a way to make Asuna trust you, then I don't need to say anything more about these details." Neil quickly adjusted his mood, and then said with a smile, "Now you are really facing The most important problem is how to meet Asuna... The Marquis of Tonis, since she built the Tonis Fortress, she has been staying in the mansion of the Fortress, and many people have submitted invitations to go. Visit, but no one can succeed, I think this step is actually the most difficult."

"Then do you have any good solutions?" Sean's attitude also changed. Since the other party has no intention of joining him for the time being, Sean certainly won't force him, so he really regarded himself as an open-minded questioner. entrants, not the lords who came to recruit Nier.

"There is the most direct way." Neil thought for a moment, then said, "But the success rate is not high, probably only half the chance."

"What method?" Sean asked eagerly, let alone half the success rate, even if it was only 10%, Sean would try it.

"Write down the key points of your plan, but don't write in too much detail, as long as it can arouse Asuna's appetite a little bit. ... And remember, you must not submit it in the form of a famous post." Ni Er said in a deep voice, "Asuna will never read a famous post, so such a famous post will usually be intercepted by her housekeeper and thrown away, but if you submit it in official documents If you write it, then there is at least a half chance that it will be sent to Asuna's table... As long as Asuna is as you guessed, if she is very eager to send troops to the Dabion Kingdom again, then she will definitely I will summon you and talk to you about the other details of this plan."

"What if that's not enough?"

"Then it proves that your guess is wrong. Asuna doesn't care whether to send troops again, and you will be in danger because of the leak of this plan. My advice to you is to run as far as possible." , otherwise you will die very ugly.... This is a gamble. If you win, everything will go as you expected. If you lose, then you will be doomed. Here in the Kingdom of Ang, you have no possibility of turning over."

Sean thanked Neil very sincerely: "I understand."
