Shenwu Feiyang

"Hey, it seems that we can't directly advance by leaps and bounds like before. In this world with battle qi and magic, it is obvious that physical strength alone cannot be mixed. We can only obediently stand firm first." Shen Fei said a little Nai shook his head.

Just like this, Shen Fei followed this troop, and rushed towards the King City of Draek in a hurry. The hasty appearance made Shen Fei a little puzzled. Since he was picking up a big shot, why did he still rush like this?But Shen Fei didn't dare to ask such a question.

Instead, I became curious about other aspects. This so-called royal guard has never stayed in other castles, let alone accepted the hospitality of the local lords. The castle frightened the people in the castle so that they all shrank inside the castle, fully equipped with weapons, but when the first-class troops passed through the border, the people in the castle returned to their original life.This discovery made Shen Fei very stunned. It stands to reason that if there are enemies passing through the border, shouldn't these local officials come forward to intercept them?Even if you know you won’t be able to go out, you have to notify other places to prepare, right?Why not only let this army pass by and leave, but also act as if nothing happened?

Regarding this point, Ruhr's explanation directly stunned Shen Fei: "The lord's task is to be responsible for the safety of his land, as long as we don't loot or loot his land, he will not take it seriously. After all, it’s just passing by. Who wants to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason? As for why you didn’t notify other places? Please, these lords want their neighbors to be unlucky, so why would they care about other people’s affairs?”

"Ah? Aren't they afraid that the kingdom will hold them accountable?" Shen Fei was stunned. The lords of these places actually wished their neighbors bad luck?This is nothing else, but a powerful unidentified army crossing the border!Can this kind of thing be ignored?Are they not afraid of being broken one by one? [

"Chichi." Ruhr laughed directly, then patted Shen Fei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, you are hiding in the country manor and don't know the situation, let me tell you, don't look at the name of our Draek Kingdom. It is called a kingdom. In fact, it is just an alliance of lords. The king of Drake is a king in name, but his power can only act on the three territories under his name. At most, he can radiate the lords around these three territories. , For the lords in other remote areas, it has no effect at all, and this is why we don't play the banner and jehu with other lords."

"Uh, it's actually an alliance of lords? Then how did His Majesty become the king?" Shen Fei asked curiously.

"Of course it depends on territory and force. His Majesty the King has three territories, each of which has a fertile territory of 3000 square kilometers, and besides Wilson Grice Golden Knight, His Majesty the King also has a royal family Archmage, the top strength is absolutely superior to other lords, plus the king has more than 5000 silver knights, more than [-] bronze-level knights and fighters, and nearly [-] black iron-level knights The strength of knights and fighters is definitely second to none in the country!" Ruhr said ostentatiously.

"Uh. Since His Majesty the King has such strong strength, why not directly unify the whole country and become a real king?" Shen Fei asked curiously, if he had such strong strength.All these lords have been wiped out a long time ago, don't you know if the land of the land is the land of the king?Where are these lords allowed to be separatist warlords?

"Hey, how could His Majesty the King do that? When the Alliance of Lords was formed. There was an oath. The 135 Lords who formed the alliance must not be deprived of their titles and territories. Those who violated it will attack together! Don't look at His Majesty's words The strength is very strong. But it only needs ten lords with the title of earl to unite, then the king is no longer an opponent. And we are now at war with the Weilan Empire in the south. How can we attack these lords? You must know the reason why the Lords Alliance It can be established because everyone is unwilling to accept the Weilan Empire's system that the whole country belongs to one person. If the king dares to have this idea, without other leaders taking the initiative, it is estimated that the nobles that the king himself canonized will rebel!" Ruhr said later , the tone is naturally very low, obviously afraid of something, but the other party can even say such words, obviously the majesty of the king is not so great at all.

Shen Fei blinked his eyes, and then asked: "Are there still 135 lords in the kingdom?"

"Hey, I knew you would ask this question, hey, let me tell you, there are already too many lords in the kingdom to count, but 135% of them are canonized by other lords including the king. At that time, there were 54 lords, hehe, it is said, it is said that, according to the latest statistics, there are only [-] left." Ruhr said with a proud face, as if it was a good thing he did that so many vowed lords disappeared.

"Huh? How could this be? Didn't you say that you absolutely cannot be deprived of your title and territory?" Shen Fei asked curiously.

"Hehe, the title and territory cannot be deprived, but if someone's bloodline is extinct, if someone voluntarily sells the territory, then there is nothing to say? This is not a violation of the oath." The Ruhr thief laughed.

Shen Fei nodded suddenly, and understood how to make the blood of these lords extinct, how to sell their territories voluntarily, let alone the people in this world, Shen Fei can think of a large number of them casually, and even There is no need to use force. No wonder those lords had such a mentality when the unknown troops crossed the border before. It is estimated that they found that this word army did not loot everywhere, but hurriedly let them understand that this is an army with a mission. Since In this way, as long as you don't come to attack yourself, everything will be fine, no matter what tasks this army will have.It's just that the act of sweeping the snow in front of the door, if the Weilan Empire knew about it, and sent a troop to beheaded directly to attack the king's city, wouldn't it be a big trouble?

However, Shen Fei shook his head again. This is a world where individual force is greater than group force. It is estimated that there are some archmages stationed in the royal city, so they are not afraid of such beheading actions at all. This kind of action to go deep into the enemy's territory is definitely a sheep's mouth. Not to mention the reaction of the king's city, other lords will never let it go when they see that there is an advantage to take advantage of.It is obviously impossible to send out a strong man who is more powerful than the Archmage, otherwise the Wei Lan Empire would not still be at war with the Drake Kingdom on the border.

"By the way, Lord Ruhr. Since the territories of the lords are so precious, why do they confer so many lords? It seems that it is almost impossible to get the territory back after dividing the territory, right?" Shen Fei asked again .

Ruhr nodded sharply and said: "That's right, as long as the territory is divided, it is impossible to take it back unless there is a war, so the lords are very, very nervous about the territory, but because of the perennial war, if you Without a group of loyal subordinates, they might be wiped out one day. Not only will they die, but their territory will also be taken up by others! You must know that although our Kingdom of Drake prohibits the lords from attacking each other on the surface, in private it is Everyone knows what is going on, otherwise the original 135 oath lords would not have become 54. In this world, what do you rely on to ensure the loyalty and hard work of your subordinates? Money, beauties, treasures, and beliefs It's all fake, only the land that represents wealth and status is real!"

"But in this way, with the increase of the lord's subordinates, isn't the lord's territory directly under his control less and less? How can he control his subordinates if his strength drops drastically?" Shen Fei asked suspiciously, and directly replaced the territory with Shi Gao, Don't you just yyng with that tiny fragment world.It is the problem of the ratio of Shi Gao directly under the master's family to the Shi Gao of his subordinates, and the occurrence of such things as subordinates committing crimes against superiors means that there is a problem with this ratio.

But this world has gone too far than the world of tiny fragments, because the division of the territory here has nothing to do with the original lord, and it is not like other worlds.After the lord divides the territory, he can still receive the annual payment. There is absolutely no such thing here!Once it is canonized, the territory is yours.Do whatever you want.And after you get the territory, you can continue to serve the original lord, or you can directly become independent.But if you choose the latter option, you will definitely be condemned by everyone. Few people like this kind of white-eyed wolf, and the result is that the newly allocated territory will be snatched away in no time.

That's right, you can only take the territory by launching a war and defeating the lord. It is impossible to deprive it of a decree. If you encounter such a white-eyed wolf, whoever sends troops to attack and occupy it first will own the territory. Absolutely It doesn't mean that the territory you allocated will be given to you by others if they conquer it.

Therefore, under such circumstances, no one is willing to be this kind of white-eyed wolf, because only when you are in an organization and encounter attacks from other organizations can you have allies to help resist. There is no future.

"Hey, you're so smart, you thought of this very important question all of a sudden." Ruhr first praised Shen Fei, then put on a mysterious look, and whispered in Shen Fei's ear: "So Ah, these lords are preparing to stop the war with the Wei Lan Empire in order to maintain their leading status and gain more territories. After all, the manpower and material resources consumed by our Draek Kingdom to send troops to fight are the private property of the lords. It’s not like the Weilan Empire, which can gather the manpower and material resources of the whole country to fight such a war of attrition.”

"Uh, armistice? Although this kind of war to invade Weilan Empire and occupy the territory is getting worse and worse, what does it have to do with the lords wanting to expand their territories?" Shen Fei asked suspiciously. [

"Hey, you don't know about this, it's just that I, Ruhr, a local snake who has been hanging out in the king's city for dozens of years, knows it, you know? Not only are we going to have peace talks with the Weilan Empire this time, but we are also going to form an alliance. Army, attack the city-state of Manya adjacent to the two countries!" Speaking of this, Ruhr had an expression of admiration, admiration, shock, and excitement.

Naturally, Shen Fei immediately cooperated with a shocked and excited expression, and then he patted his ass a few times before asking in confusion: "What kind of country is this Manya city-state? It can actually make us and the Weilan Empire, the sworn enemies Join forces?"

"Look at me, I forgot that you just came out of the country." Ruhr patted himself on the forehead first, and then smiled: "The city-state of Manya is not a country, but a port alliance, and it was a mante at the beginning. An alliance formed by two port cities in Yashan, and as their trade grew and their money increased, the ports in the coastal areas were absorbed into it, and finally became a city-state of Manya. It is usually based on the city, and each does its own thing. The so-called city-state council is to manage and formulate a unified tax system and a unified currency system. Generally speaking, mercenary troops attacking the enemy and other things are a very loose organization. The reason why our two countries look at them is simple. Both countries have been tortured to death by this unprofitable war. The oily Manya city-state is coming back after grabbing some benefits, and it’s almost impossible to get rid of it!"

Seeing that Shen Fei was still blinking his eyes in doubt, Ruhr chuckled: "Do you think this matter has nothing to do with us?" Shen Fei nodded immediately, he really didn't understand what this matter had to do with him, I am just a servant.

"Hey, not only is it related, but it's even more important. You must know that this joint battle between the two countries will definitely belong to whoever grabs it. If you die in battle with the Golden Knight, Silver Knight, Bronze Black Iron, you can get it if you die." How much? So there are rumors in Wangcheng, as long as the contract is signed, a large number of servants will be recruited immediately, and these servants will follow the regular army to occupy the territory and transport the spoils, and this kind of thing that greatly expands the servants of the army is what we do It’s an opportunity for someone else, maybe if I make a little or two meritorious service on the battlefield, I can also get a knight collar and become a master knight! How about it? Don’t say you’re not interested.” Ruhr’s eyes lit up Said.

Shen Fei immediately nodded his head, he was thinking about how to gain a firm foothold, but he didn't expect such an opportunity to come, of course he couldn't miss it. (to be continued...)
