Mage Lord: The Tech Tree is Skewed by Me

Talk is talk, fight is fight.

The negotiation process on the rear will not affect the coalition's siege of Bolton City.

There is no way, whether Walras's army in Bolton City is besieged or captured can be said to be related to two completely different offers.

The parties participating in the war have to pay or receive completely different benefits.

And as time went by, the first thing to arrive was not the result of the negotiations, but the army of the Kingdom of Idrit!

Since then, the Idrit army and the Andal coalition finally successfully met under the city of Bolton, the old capital of Norton!

It was also on this day that both sides were noisy with gongs and drums, playing and playing, and it was very lively.

After all, this marks that the war situation in the Principality of Norton has finally come to an end, and it means that the situation in the Northern Continent has finally reached a long-awaited turning point!

This is definitely a world-famous painting that will be hung in the Andal Palace in the future!

I wonder who is the Marquis of Antolia?

During the welcome ceremony, Prince Idrit Mendez glanced across the crowd from time to time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Leon?

He went to recruit refugees.

Yubel Harin shook his head helplessly.

This young marquis can be said to be good at everything, but he can't walk when he sees homeless refugees and always wants to take them all back to Antolia.

The Marquis of Antolia attaches great importance to population?

Mendez quickly captured the key to the military minister's answer.

The Jimena family's fiefdom is located in the southernmost part of the Andal Kingdom. The level of chaos in that land is second only to that in the north of the kingdom, so the population under its rule has always been pitifully small. Yubel Harin explained kindly. .

Hearing this, Mendes couldn't help but show some contemplation in his eyes.

…

To be honest, Leon doesn't really approve of this typical half-time practice of opening champagne.

Even though the army of Idrit arrived with the news of the complete collapse of the southern army of the Kingdom of Walras and the death of the commander of the southern army, Second Class Tabroolov Bundy, in the rebellion, Leon also I think it's better to be cautious.

So he simply reported to Yubel Harin and took his soldiers out to pack up the refugees.

Well done to the refugees!

Having one more refugee will provide Antolia with one more labor force in the future.

Since ancient times, there have only been a few ways to increase population.

Either to encourage childbirth, or to instigate civil strife in other countries to accept refugees.

Now that the Walras people have taken the initiative to help the Jimena family take over the troublesome thing that started the war, Leon naturally wants to take advantage of it.

but……

Packing is packing.

Yubel Harin finally gave Leon a good warning.

This land will eventually become the territory of the Andal Kingdom and the fiefdom of other Andal nobles in the future, so Leon, as an Andal noble, still needs to be merciful.

At this time, a light rain had just ended in Neon Town.

It brings a little coolness to this hot summer day.

Feeling the breeze blowing on his face and listening to the shouts of the Andal army not far away arresting people, Leon felt that life at this time was particularly pleasant.

From the Andal border to the old capital of Norton, Antolian soldiers captured more than 16,000 slave soldiers from the Kingdom of Walras.

Although it has just exceeded 10,000, it is still a gratifying harvest after all.

And Leon has always believed that if he can continue to cultivate intensively from the territory of the Principality of Norton, then by the time Bolton City is destroyed, the total number of prisoners of war and refugees will exceed 100,000, which should not be a problem.

If it weren’t for the fact that Antolia’s appearance would not look too ugly, if it wasn’t for the purpose of preventing these towns located in the Principality of Norton from becoming a It's probably not a big problem for two or three hundred thousand people to migrate in a completely white land at once.

My Lord Marquis, Count Felden has arrived.

Just as Leon was drawing circles on the map, thinking about which town he should go to next, Stan, the boss of the Antolia mercenary group, came to Leon's side.

Count Felden?

Why is he here?

Leon's memory was naturally very clear for this noble Idrit whom he had just met on the south bank of the Meyerson River not long ago.

If Count Felden had not brought him the help of the Idrits and the information about the Principality of Norton, Leon would not have made up his mind so quickly and achieved such amazing results in full view of the public. .

You are well, Count.

Leon's smile still made Count Felden feel like a breath of fresh air.

But at this moment, the earl did not dare to look down upon this young nobleman in the slightest.

Leon's achievements are nakedly displayed there.

This alone is enough for any Idrit to respect this foreign noble.

Your Majesty the Marquis!

Earl Felden quickly brewed a smile on his face:

Thank you for your selfless assistance to the Kingdom of Iderit! You will definitely gain the friendship of the Francis family of the Iderit royal family.

coming!

In just a few words, Leon already understood the purpose of this Idrit nobleman.

He came on behalf of the Kingdom of Idrit, or... he came on behalf of the Francis family!

The current war is about to end.

In this case, then the benefits of the Kingdom of Iderit should also be reaped!

Although Leon did not offer a price when he decided to send troops, the Kingdom of Idrit did not dare not give it!

At least in today's Northern Continent, the hierarchy of nobles has not advanced to the point where they don't care about their own reputation and fame.

His Royal Highness Mendez is interested!

Leon's eyes immediately flashed with joy.

How could he refuse if someone came to offer him a favor? !

I wonder... is the Marquis interested in the prisoners of war in the hands of the Iderites?

Now that we know from Yubel Harin’s mouth that Leon wants a population.

Then everything will be much easier to handle.

As a foreign noble, unless Leon is willing to give up his identity as an Andal noble, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Idrit to grant Leon a title, let alone land.

So there are actually very few options left for the Idriits.

Money, population, food.

Just a few.

In the eyes of the nobles, population is obviously much cheaper than money and food.

Especially after this war that affected almost half of the northern continent, which noble is not in a hurry?

Therefore, compared to others, gifting population is a better choice.

It was even able to unexpectedly meet the demands of the young Marquis, killing two birds with one stone.

And according to the wishes of His Highness Prince Idrit, after the final division of interests is announced, Leon can even choose a few fiefdoms of Idrit nobles and transport all the people there. This will also make it easier for Mendes to transfer those few He was given a fiefdom and given to nobles who had made military exploits but did not deal with him.

His Royal Highness Mendez is so generous!

Leon said happily.

You know, compared to the Eastern Front troops captured by the Andal coalition, Gravel Castle, as the main direction of the Walras people's attack, has at least twice as many prisoners of war as those in the hands of the Andal people!

This can definitely be regarded as an unexpected surprise!

In addition, His Royal Highness the Prince also has another generous gift. Count Feilden added.

What is it?

Leon couldn't help but be curious.

I actually don't know for sure, but when the time comes, it will be sent directly to the Marquis's territory. I believe the Marquis will be satisfied.

Count Felden could only explain.

…

Kingdom of Walras.

Flandenburg.

As the most extensive kingdom in the Northern Continent, Flandenburg, the capital of the Kingdom of Walras, is located on the shores of Flanders Lake in the Paramo Grassland.

Although it was already summer, perhaps because it was adjacent to the lake, this vast royal capital was still a little cool.

only……

Even though the surrounding scenery is beautiful and the lush green grassland is intoxicating, there is always a lingering fishy smell in the air.

Flandenburg is the largest city in the Kingdom of Walras.

However, compared to Essex, the capital of the Kingdom of Andals, this city deep in the grasslands is a bit sloppy.

The Walras people are nomadic.

There are really not many people living in the city.

Therefore, whether it is the overall architectural style or street layout, everything in Flandenburg looks particularly rough.

The vast swaths of cattle and sheep outside the city, as well as the clothing styles that are completely different from those of the Andals, also give the city a very strong exotic feel.

A large number of naked slaves were lying on both sides of the uneven road, and countless livestock excrement and urine were pushed against one end of the wall.

You know, this city is not only the capital of the Kingdom of Walras, but also the largest slave trading center in the northern continent.

In the Kingdom of Walras, countless small tribes become slaves every year, and there are also large tribes that split up in conflicts. Therefore...if you want to ask where there are the most slaves, then the Kingdom of Walras is definitely second to none.

But this is the Walrasian tradition.

Every Walrasian grew up on horseback.

They are very fierce and brave, and they have a strong character.

It is precisely because of this that the Walrasian cavalry became famous on the northern continent.

only……

At this moment, an oppressive cloud seemed to hang over Flandenburg.

War reports from the south have reached the capital of the Kingdom of Walras, and this undoubtedly caused an uproar in the city.

There is no doubt that this is the most serious defeat that the Kingdom of Walras has suffered in its foreign wars in the past ten years!

It will be an extremely heavy blow to the Gulen family's reputation and rule!

Moreover, among the Walrasian nobles who went on this expedition, the only first-class Tablobronni Bent was captured.

As for the other three second-class Tablos, except for Lamesiel Gulen who was besieged by the Andal coalition forces in Bolton City, the other two were missing and had no news. They were most likely dead. .

The simple word furious is not even enough to describe the mood of the Walrasian monarch at this time.

However, despite being furious, the ruler of the Walras Kingdom had to seriously consider the Andal Kingdom's proposal.

Yes, at the same time as the battle report arrived, the Andal envoys who set out from Essex had also arrived at the royal city located on the shores of Lake Franden.

Walras' army in Bolton was already surrounded.

The city can only be destroyed in a matter of seconds.

If a decision cannot be made as soon as possible, then welcoming the Walrasians will be a more serious turmoil.

after all……

Even though the military strength of the Kingdom of Walras far exceeds that of the coalition forces, it also has a much wider territory.

This means that while sending troops to attack, the Gulen family must also take into account the stability and rebellion in various parts of the Walras Kingdom.

You know, the Kingdom of Walras has never been stable domestically.

There are countless conflicts between tribes.

If it weren't for the fact that the Gulen family can suppress all unstable factors with its absolute advantage and iron fist, the entire Walras Kingdom will fall into chaos and conflict!

then……

The progress of the peace negotiations can be said to be quite smooth.

Because the Walrasian people's brain circuits have always been straight.

As long as you can defeat him, you will have the qualifications to negotiate with the Kingdom of Walras.

But if it cannot be defeated, then Flandenburg will inevitably usher in a large wave of new slaves.

Strength is what Walras people believe in most!

But now, the Andal coalition has proven its strength with actual actions, and this war naturally has the possibility of negotiation.

It is bounded by the Chilun River.

The land on the north bank of the Chilun River is owned by the Kingdom of Walras.

The land south of the Chiron River was divided between the Iderits and the Andals.

As for Brownie Bent…

Even in the simple values ​​​​of the Walras people, the defeated person has no value.

But the Gulen family must also take into account the reputation of Brownie Bent after all, or... take into account the influence of the Northern Tribe Alliance of Walras represented by Brownie Bent.

One thousand cattle, two thousand sheep, three thousand slaves, and two trade licenses.

This is the ransom offered by the Kingdom of Walras for Brownie Bent.

And when the news reached Leon's ears.

The young marquis was naturally overjoyed.

That's awesome!

No matter in any era, this is an extremely huge wealth.

What's more, for the Jimena family, who are in urgent need of labor for land reclamation, this is definitely a profit that cannot be underestimated.

The war is over!

As the news of the signing of the peace agreement reached the front lines, the war that lasted for nearly half a year finally came to an end in this midsummer season.

However, this war has come to an end with the signing of the peace agreement.

But for all the coalition forces participating in the war, the distribution of benefits after the war has just begun from this moment...

No more today.
