Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 658 Becoming the Lord of Stromgarde
Chu Xiangqian had just seen at least one or two thousand staggering orcs retreating into the camp.

There is a high probability that these people will not be able to survive until tomorrow. After all, the orcs have never developed a treatment system.

The injured orc could only carry it.

But it also shows that in terms of pure lethality, rifles are still inferior to elven bows and arrows.

But this is already a huge improvement for the dwarves.

This also made the two elf lords worried.

Although the fertility rate of dwarves is also low, it is much higher than that of elves. Now dwarves make up for the disadvantage of mid-range and long-range firepower when dealing with elves in the future.

You can imagine that with the character of the dwarf, he will definitely become stronger and stronger.

Fortunately, even if the dwarves can imitate their own rifles, their ability to produce their own bullets is much lower.

As for large-scale production, it is basically impossible.

Those who didn't leave, many became slaves of the orcs.

It should be enough for the dwarves to gradually dominate territory covering hundreds of kilometers.

Even if he wanted to seize a territory in Middle-earth, Chu Xiangqian would only focus on the human territory in the south.

As for the threat to Chu Xiangqian, he was not worried at all.

When he thought of a weapon with a muzzle twice as thick and a bullet as thick as two fingers that could kill an orc with one shot, Chu Xiangqian himself began to pray for the orcs.

Coupled with the threat of orcs, most of the humans who used to live in the north have fled to the south little by little in the past few hundred years.

Secondly, the place where he appears every time is Stromgarde, and he cannot avoid contact with the mountain dwarves no matter what.

Anyway, he had no intention of dominating the north of Middle-earth.

But Chu Xiangqian vaguely felt that if the dwarves were given a few or ten years, a steam bullet production machine might appear.

By that time, it might happen that the dwarves themselves optimize the rifle design and create a rifle that is more suitable for dwarfs and more powerful.

Firstly, the climate in the north is cold and unsuitable for planting and survival.

So the best way to maximize your interests is to maintain your friendship with the mountain dwarves.

He also began to worry about the alliance between dwarves and elves.

Although the efficiency is far less than that of electric industrial machines in the real world, dwarves don't have to make hundreds of millions or billions of bullets every year.

If Xue Jinglan and other daughters-in-law are brought here to be the lord's wife, there is a high probability that Xue Jinglan and the others will not want to live in Strom Castle all year round.

And once you become a slave to an orc, you will die of exhaustion within a few years, or you will simply be devoured.

It's a pity that the world of Middle-earth is too backward, let alone Chu Xiangqian himself, even if his brain is hot or his mind is not clear.

It can make hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition a year, hand-build one or two thousand rifles, and replace damaged rifles.

So much so that the human race doesn’t even have a decent town in the north.

Gathering some dwarves, some elves and humans to maintain a population of several thousand people was already considered a moderate lord in ancient times.

Or just become a lord in Stromgarde.

But you can marry some elves or human beauties here.

By the way, let your woman manage Stromgarde.

When I really win a larger territory from the human race in the south in the future, I can also leave small things to my daughter-in-law to manage.

If you have an heir, by the time the child grows up, you should have created a big empire.

One point of territory can be regarded as leaving the descendants of the old Chu family in this world. Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian immediately felt that it was time for him to have a formal territory in Middle-earth.

After much deliberation, Chu Xiangqian quickly set his target on the Rapids Castle.

Although the north of Strom Castle is only a dozen kilometers away from Alpine Castle, there is a large area of ​​land to the south.

My requirements are not high either. I just need to gain recognition from the five major lords and take over a hundred miles of territory to the south.

Chu Qianqian's eyes immediately focused on the two elf lords.

"After I win this battle, based on my military exploits, I will be named the Lord of Stromgarde and gain the territory a hundred miles south of Stromgarde. I will also be unanimously recognized by the five great lords of yours. It should be no problem, right?"

Bosco and Garland looked at each other, and soon saw joy in each other's eyes.

Chu Xiangqian is a human race, so he is naturally restricted by the disadvantage that there are no human forces in the north of Middle-earth and very few human races.

In other words, even if he recruits humans, it will develop into a town with a population of several thousand people at most within a few decades.

Moreover, this town is right next to the Alpine Castle. If there is a conflict, it will be the most likely conflict between Stromgarde and the Alpine Dwarves.

This is a good thing for the Nohr elves and the Valar elves.

Even though the Iron Fist and the Redbeard Dwarves were cousins ​​of the Alpine Dwarves, there was a high probability that Chu Xiangqian would be welcomed to officially become the Lord of Stromgarde.

In addition, everyone now has a common enemy, the orcs. No matter how unwilling the mountain dwarves are, they can only recognize Chu Xiangqian's rule over Stromgarde.

And Chu Xiangqian is not stupid. At least in his generation, he will definitely maintain friendly relations with dwarves and elves.

And he has no interest at all in ruling dwarves and elves.

The knowledge from his previous life told him that ruling a foreign race was infinitely more difficult than ruling a fellow race.

It is even impossible to truly recognize foreign rulers.
-
After Chu Xiangqian dies, whether his descendants will be ambitious enough to unify the north of Middle-earth will be a matter of hundreds or even hundreds of years.

And as long as his descendants are not stupid, they will set their sights on the land south of Stromgarde.

Fight all the way from the north, and then use dwarves and elves as backup.

Even if the dwarves and elves don't send troops, they just get the dwarves' armor and weapons, the elves' longbows, and magic tools.

As well as the gold coins gained from trading with the two tribes, it is enough for his descendants to continue to devour the southern territory.

Maybe a hundred years later, his descendants would have become great lords of the human race in the south, and would gradually look down on Stromgarde.

Even hundreds of years later, our own descendants will appear and fight their own situation.

After Bosco and Jialan were willing to admit Chu Xiangqian's rule over Stromgarde, they soon thought that if Chu Xiangqian married an elf as his wife.

If you give birth to a half-elf heir, Stromgarde will be biased toward elves to a certain extent.

Moreover, the probability of this idea succeeding is at least 9%. I don't believe that Chu Xiangqian will marry a dwarf girl as his wife.

The two old ghosts, who had lived at least several hundred years older, glanced at each other. After only a brief exchange of eyes, they reached an agreement.

It is best for the Noel elves and the Vera elves to each marry a female elf to Chu Xiangqian.

If Chu Xiangqian is willing, he can marry ten or eight.

As for who will be the heir of Chu Xiangqian and who will become the first heir of Stromgarde, it will be a good thing for both elves.

Chu Xiangqian, who still didn't know that he was about to get two elf wives out of thin air, was thinking about how Stromstrom Castle would develop in the future.

How to position.
