Lord of War

Sean knew that it would not be difficult to win Yederby, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Originally, he thought that it would take a fight in Jedbyburg to control Baron Jedby and force him to let go of his resistance. As a result, from the end of the attack to the end, only Cecilia fired a bursting fire bomb to blast the gate of the fortress, and then there was a long drive in, without even encountering a little symbolic resistance, the entire Jederby Fort had surrendered up.

Turning over and dismounting, Xiao En looked at the army standing straight in front of the fort without a trace of fear, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Judging from the standing posture, equipment and momentum of these soldiers, even if Sean didn't need the assistance of the Eye of Reality, he knew that this was an army close to the quasi-level 4 standard.

Although the difference between the third level and the fourth level is only one level, there is actually an essential difference between the two.

If the third-level army is already a country's first-class army, then the fourth-level army can be regarded as a country's special army. Of course, this kind of statement is actually quite vague. After all, there are always different training and judgment standards in different countries. At least Xiao En knows that among the seven empires, the fourth-level army is considered to be the standard of the regular army, and the third-level army is at best only a regular army. The level of cannon fodder.

But in any case, the quality of the defenders of Jedbiburg in front of them is almost catching up with the level of steel wings.

However, Xiao En was only a little surprised at this point, and didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, there were only a few hundred people. It's just that if Sean knew that Rob's ambition was to make this army another thundering front within three years, then he would definitely laugh at Rob's ignorance and talk on paper.

Because the training of the army will be intensified with the gradual expansion of the size of the army, and even the expenditure and military resources will increase geometrically. None of these can be explained with the concept of "one plus one equals two".

If it's only a hundred people, William is even sure to train a fifth-level army in a short period of time, but once it expands to a thousand people, just look at the pitch-black wings. This army has been in the hands of William for seven or eight months, but it can barely be regarded as a third-level army. If it weren't for Xiao En's spare no effort in the issue of armaments, the dark It may take a while for Yuyi to become a formal third-tier army.

As for the scale of more than 10,000 people, it took Asuna nearly ten years to create a Thundering Front. Of course, this has a lot to do with Asuna's poor poverty. If she hadn't invested all her funds in Fortress Tonis. The achievement of Thundering Edge is definitely not limited to this point, and even when facing the attack of the strong man in the sanctuary last time, he did not suffer heavy losses.

Now half a year has passed,

Thunder Front still only has 7,000 soldiers left, and it is extremely difficult to even replenish the source of troops.

for this. Sean actually understood very well.

Because the supplement of new soldiers is actually a disguised weakening of the strength of the entire army. This can be seen from the fact that the Cecilia Guards have changed from the original fourth-level army to today's quasi-fourth-level army. And this is because the full number of Cecilia's guards is only a thousand people. If the scale is larger, I am afraid that they will not even be able to maintain the standard of quasi-level four. Therefore, this is why ace troops will be replenished from elite troops once they are damaged in battle, and elite troops will be replenished from the next level of troops, because only with sufficient basic quality can they be integrated into stronger troops faster. force. To restore the combat power level of the troops.

In the final analysis, it is still the way forward of the pyramid.

But it's a pity that the current structure of supplementing the pyramid's military resources is completely unworkable for Sean.

Therefore, in Xiao En's eyes, the guards with quasi-level 4 military qualities only surprised him a little. At least this army is not qualified enough to attract his attention.

"You are Baron Jedby?" Sean looked away from the army, and then fell on the young Rob.

"Next." Facing Sean, Rob didn't have the slightest fear, he said without arrogance or humility, "But now I handle most of the affairs of the territory."

"You are managing the territory?" Hearing what Rob said, Sean looked at him seriously this time.

The young man in front of him had short blond hair. Although he wasn't very handsome, he looked quite kind. At least Sean didn't see the sinister aura of those noble children in him.

Sean is quite familiar with the situation in Yedbyland. This territory is indeed very rich. It is the territory that Sean listed as his target from the beginning. Of course, the nearby Berbice Territory is also the territory he wants to occupy.

Not for anything else, just for the Forest of Gray Shadows.

Not only did this forest show signs of level 5 Warcraft being active, but Sean also knew that this forest had three materials that were rated as Level A in the game and five materials that were rated as Level B. If he wanted to complete the production of the flame lion's fangs and the flame spear, then the materials produced in this forest were very important. One of the main materials could only be obtained by besieging those fifth-level monsters.

However, as early as nearly a year ago, Yedebiling had already been beaten to the point of bankruptcy by Sean.

But now, looking at the state of the guards' armaments and the maintenance of Jedbyburg, Sean knew that Jedbyling didn't show any signs of bankruptcy at all, but was still thriving. If all of this is managed by the young man in front of him, then this means that the young man in front of him is definitely a very good territory management talent, even if he is not as good as Neil, at least he should be with Ruud Michelin, The same level as Soma Hastings and others.

If this is the case, then this person Sean has no intention of letting go.

Because the internal affairs management of the territory is not as good as military overall planning, in terms of military affairs, it is the deployment of defense lines and strategic arrangements. William is enough to deal with these problems, and what is really needed is mid-level officers. But in terms of internal affairs management, Neil may be able to make general adjustments, but these adjustments must be modified in detail to meet the development of people's livelihood in different regions, and these modifications must be evaluated on the spot. Therefore, the more management talents like Rude and Soma, the better.

"If I remember correctly, Yedbyling almost went bankrupt in the face of the huge compensation after the invasion of Pandaling." Sean glanced at Rob, and then said casually, "But now I see The situation I have seen seems to be different from what I imagined, and it seems that the compensation I asked for at the beginning seems to be too light."

Hearing Xiao En's words, the surrounding guards immediately showed anger, as if they would mutiny at any moment.

But Rena glanced at these people. In an instant, these people felt as if they were in an ice cave. The almost condensed killing intent made them dare not move at all. It seemed that as long as they moved, they would die here immediately.

Rob glanced quietly at Rina. There was a helpless wry smile on his face, he knew that he had absolutely no power to resist in front of Xiao En. Not to mention Reina's strength. Even if Sean is alone, he is not an opponent at all. So right away, he could only tell Xiao En about the situation of Yedbyling in recent years and how he developed. He didn't even hide the fact that he leased the city to a chamber of commerce.

After listening to Rob's words, Sean was a little surprised. He didn't expect this Rob to be so bold, and he directly leased a city that can accommodate 50,000 people to a chamber of commerce. And the lease is actually ten years!

If he hadn't experienced the wild land, Sean wouldn't have felt too much, but after experiencing the wild land and seeing the route plan of the first and last snakes. Sean already knew very well that what Rob did was walking a tightrope! Although in the ten-year lease contract, it is clearly stipulated that 40% of the city's annual total income should be returned to Rob, but Sean is very clear that according to the common problem of the chamber of commerce, those gray incomes that are really big will definitely not be included. Therefore, this practice of renting out the city is completely tantamount to making this chamber of commerce grow in disguise.

Not to mention ten years, I'm afraid that within three years, this chamber of commerce will grow into an existence that even Rob can't suppress. After five years, maybe the lord and title of Yedbyland will have to change their surnames.

Thinking of this, Sean sneered and said these words: "In three years, you will not be able to suppress this Chamber of Commerce at all."

"Impossible." Rob shook his head confidently, "I am confident that within three years I will build an army that is not inferior to Thunderbolt!"

When they said this, the hundred guards raised their heads proudly, as if they were cooperating with Rob's words.

And hearing this, Xiao En's sneer became even stronger. If the fourth-level army is really so easy to train, the steel wings under his command would have been a fourth-level army long ago. This is a team that has been established for two years and has fought Numerous battle veterans. There is almost no need to listen to what Rob said, Sean has already made up his mind. The Rob in front of him may be considered talented and courageous, but at best he can only be qualified for the position of a city lord, not to mention being compared with Soma, even if he is with him Ruud Michelin, the former lord of the Dayi Territory, has a big gap. As for military management, this Rob in front of him is a guy who can only talk on paper.

After understanding this, Sean's interest in Rob is not so strong, and even turning his head to Rena said: "You immediately send someone to find William, tell him to change the plan, let him march directly to take the city of Hierro, This city is managed by a chamber of commerce, and I guess there should be a mercenary group in that city."

Now that Jederbiburg has been completely controlled, the next thing to do is to disarm the guards and detain them. Although the quality of the hundred guards is really good, Sean also knows that they completely worship Rob and want to make this It is absolutely impossible for an army to work for itself in a short period of time, so it is better to concentrate on guarding, so as to avoid any trouble in the rear.

The most urgent task at the moment is to control the entire Yedby territory as quickly as possible, and establish a bridgehead and a front-line supply base for attacking Tingqiyin's territory.

Originally in William's plan, it was to occupy the entire Yederby area within four days, but if the city of Yero is not managed by Yederby area, but by a chamber of commerce, then Sean thinks that the estimated number of days Maybe a day earlier. (To be continued..)
