Lord of War

"Don't say that, I'm just helping you manage it temporarily." Sean didn't care about Rude's anger at all.

Even if he and Lonnis were combined together, Sean could overthrow them with one hand.

In this world, people without strength basically have no human rights. Of course, this is for the enemy. In the eyes of the Boulder family, Lonnie is still very valuable. As for Ruud, who knows.

"Temporary?" Rude couldn't believe that there were still people in this world who could be so shameless.

"You see, because my army is here, the current situation in your territory is very good, and there is no dispute or turmoil at all." Sean smiled slightly, and his investigation of Rude was indeed very detailed, "Don't you still Can your family be expected to pay for your ransom? I'm afraid they are already arguing about the next heir.  … The title your father bequeathed you seems to be hereditary? Since you have no heirs, you This title can be inherited by someone who is related to you by blood."

Rude was silent.

He knew very well that what Sean said was the truth.

In recent years, he has focused on the development of the territory, but many internal unrest factors have been ignored afterwards. And with the development of the territory, many relatives that he had never heard of appeared constantly, which made him very troubled. After all, these could be regarded as relatives, and he could not be so cold-blooded as to deny them all. .

This is actually because Rude is too young, and the Michelin family is not a veteran noble.

Many real nobles will abandon all these helpless relatives the moment they embark on the road of thriving development, at least they will not let them all gather in their own manor like Rude, and even what You can get a little money every month without doing any work. His approach is for any aristocratic family. It's all harmful but not beneficial, but it's a pity that Rude doesn't know it.

So much so that now he finally has to taste this bitter fruit in the face of the betrayal and usurpation of his relatives.

For a nobleman like Lonnie, losing a piece of land was nothing. Even if he agreed to Sean's conditions to give the baron to Sean, the land was still the territory of the Kingdom of Darbion. Although Sean has all the jurisdiction and ruling power of this territory, he still has to pay certain territory taxes to the Kingdom of Dabion in accordance with the rules of the Kingdom of Dabion, and if Sean is willing, he can even take care of a Empty title of Baron of the Kingdom of Darbion.

But for Rude. The situation is not so easy.

This territory is his core family territory, and it is also a territory bestowed by the royal family of the Kingdom of Darbion. If Rude loses this territory, he will be beaten back to his original form immediately, in other words, he will change from a real noble to an ordinary noble.

Viscount has become an empty title.

In the entire Dabiang Kingdom. There are not 100,000 but 40,000 or 50,000 nobles with empty titles such as Viscount.

So occupying the territory, for Ruud and Langnis. Basically two different concepts and results.

"You want to occupy my territory. Then you might as well kill me..."

"Don't say such things in front of me, I will really do it." Sean squinted at Rude, his tone calm and indifferent, "Of course, we can also handle this matter in another way. "

Rude tightly closed his lips, with an air of listening attentively.

"The territory is mine.

And you can still continue to be your lord. ... Well, or to put it another way, the Archon. "

Rude's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The Dabion Kingdom will not allow this to happen." Lonnis frowned, and then said. "This is just a war between our nobles, not a war between two countries. Even if you occupy this territory, you still have to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Dabion, and Ruud will be recalled to the capital soon. , It is absolutely impossible to let Rude do nothing... If you really do this, it is tantamount to making Rude treason."

Ceding territory is a national statement.

Wars like the Sean, Boulder family, Lonnie, and Rude are just confrontations at the noble level, so it is impossible to cede the territory. In the terms of the nobles, that is occupation, but even though it has the same jurisdiction and ruling power as the entire territory, this territory still belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Dabion, and the Kingdom of Dabion can even negotiate to reclaim the territory.

Of course, if the occupier is willing, he can even automatically obtain the status of nobility of the country according to the size of the territory.

For example, if Sean really obtained these two territories from Lonnie and Rude, he could also serve as the Viscount of the Kingdom of Dabion if he wanted to. If he can expand his territory to the earldom, his title will automatically be promoted to earl of the kingdom of d'abion.

But in these rules, as the original lord of the territory, he must evacuate.

And if Sean wants Rude to stay as the consul, this is indeed an act of rebellion, and no country will allow it. Unless the Kingdom of Dabion voluntarily cedes the entire territory to the Principality of Ryan, you Rude are allowed to stay, but after this, he is actually a member of the Principality of Ryan, not a member of the Kingdom of Dabion.

"So what?" Sean couldn't possibly be ignorant of these things, he just raised his eyebrows.

"It will cause..." Lonnis just wanted to explain the consequences, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately realized a certain problem, and also looked at Sean in disbelief, "Your goal from the beginning" Baidu Xiangxiang ★Text" is not a Mordegg collar, is that just an excuse for you? Your idea was always on Ruud! "

"What you want is not an ordinary war..." Rude immediately reacted after hearing what Lonnis said. As far as the reaction awareness of the two people is concerned, it can be regarded as very good, "You want Dragging the entire Dabion Kingdom into the quagmire of war... You want the Dabion Kingdom to start a war with the Ryan Principality again, and I am the key breakthrough on your chessboard!"

"Congratulations, you guessed it right." Sean smiled, with a frank face, "But since you already know this, it's even more impossible for you and I to let you go back."

The expressions of Rude and Langnis changed slightly.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to kill anyone yet." Sean glanced at the two of them, walked to the dining table and poured himself a glass of red wine, "Viscount Rudd is indeed my breakthrough, as long as I do this If you say that, it is undoubtedly equivalent to a loud slap in the face of the Dabion Kingdom. Given the situation of the Dabion Kingdom, it is difficult to bear this tone. They will definitely find a way to save face. I just need to provoke a little more after this. What do you think is going to happen?"

"You have calculated too well, right? What if the royal family of the Darbion Kingdom ignores your provocation?"

"That's why I need your territory." Sean pointed to Lonnis, "A large part of the capital income of the Darbion Kingdom comes from wild lands. You can also enter the Canyon Rift from the edge of your baronie , but as long as I own your territory, any slave hunting team in the Kingdom of Dabion who wants to go to the Canyon Rift must enter my territory. If I don’t want anyone to enter, what do you think will happen? What about the result?"

"You!" Lonnis didn't expect that Sean's plan was so shrewd, it could even be said that it was linked together.

If the financial source of the wild land is lost, Lonnis believes that at least half of the high-ranking nobles in the entire Darbion Kingdom will go bankrupt due to this. And once this kind of thing really happens, the Kingdom of Dabion will soon fall into the crisis of civil strife, so in order to avoid this situation from happening, or to calm down the conflicts among the nobles in the kingdom, the battle after the event will be ignored. It was the Dabion Kingdom that really didn't want to fight, and had to fight.

"Even if we don't go through the Gapland Rift, we can still walk through the Petersen Wetland." Rude said in a deep voice, "It's just a little longer at most."

"Don't think I really don't understand anything." A sneer appeared on the corner of Sean's mouth, "If this is the case, the cost will be at least two to three times higher. Calculated at this cost, unless it is a capture Gray elves or bears, lions, werewolves and other extremely valuable slaves, otherwise they would be trading at a loss. And even if they are captured, the number must be large.... But you think that you, Darby, are the only ones in the barren land Is it the slave hunting team of the Kingdom of Ang? Maybe the slaves you worked so hard to capture will be cheaper for others. Besides, even if you do this, I can still send troops into the wild land, and after the event Attack the slave catchers of the Kingdom of Dabion there."

Rude was silent.

He has already seen that Xiao En doesn't bother to use any conspiracy at all, he just made it clear that he wants to start a national war. If they were really forced to this point, no matter how forbearing the royal family of the Darbion Kingdom could be, they would definitely not be able to sit idly by. Another war with the Principality of Ryan was almost a certainty.

"Don't forget, I haven't agreed to surrender my territory to you yet."

"Then I have to spend some energy to send troops to occupy it." Xiao En shrugged his shoulders, and his indifferent look was really annoying.

If you don't want to give it yourself, then I have no choice but to grab it.

It was frankly disgusting.

"Why are you telling us this?" Rude finally asked after pondering for a moment.

There was a hint of appreciation in Sean's eyes.

After all, Rude is an ordinary nobleman who started from scratch, so many of his afterthoughts are his own family, and he doesn't think about the future of the country, these too general things. So he quickly realized that people like Sean would never say these things to himself for no reason, and he must have other meanings when he said that.

"Under the general trend, if I were you, I would change my mind." Sean smiled, "And I dare to bet you, the Boulder family must also be thinking about the future team now." Question...do you understand what I mean?"

Both Rude and Lonnis fell into silence.

If you still can't see the meaning of Xiao En trying to win them over after this, you guys are really fools.
