Transcendent Noble

"What you said makes sense, maybe I think Ant-Man is too simple." Sylvia looked at the map for a long time before turning her eyes to Victor, sighed, and faint smile "Victor, why do you think that Ant-Man will attack Centaur Hills even if he goes in a big circle?"

Victor had a sudden in his heart, and said calmly: "This is just a guess. In the face of the 100,000 brutal ant-man army, I think no matter how cautious it is."

Victor did not expect that he would be spotted by Sylvia if he inadvertently showed his feet, but he couldn’t tell. Sylvia, she intercepted Ant-Man's Hu, and she was an accomplice. After Ant-Man reacted, she would definitely not let them go.

Sylvia did not continue to entangle this problem, nodded, drew on the map with long and white fingers, and said: "This mountain range is the junction of Great Swamp and Centaur Hills. The low-lying Great Swamp is one In the Great Basin, the drop on the west side of the mountain range is about kilometer, and the cliffs are steep and steep. As long as I seal off the three swamp entrances, no matter how many Ant-Man comes, it’s impossible to invade Centaur Hills."

Victor’s jaw head agrees that the entrances of Great Swamp are all slopes low in the west and high in the east. As long as a 60-meter high fortress is built there and a 20-meter wide trench is dug, the number of ant-mans can’t be increased by three times. Breaking through the fortress, this is the advantage of the terrain.

Sylvia glanced at Victor and continued: "The mountain range goes all the way to the north and reaches the territory of the Kingdom of Dodo. Here it is divided into two roads and stretches northwards for 1,600 kilometers. The Endless Forest, another 400 kilometers eastward, is known as the megalithic mountain range because of its abundance of stones. That area is nominally the territory of Duke Erickson, but in fact it is the real pioneer, and there are monsters everywhere. Ant-Man To get around from the Erickson family territory to Centaur Hills, you need to travel at least 5,000 kilometers and pass through many monster gathering places. Now, do you understand?"

Victor understands what Sylvia means, But he disagreed with her opinion, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Sylvia, do you think my heart is superfluous?"

Sylvia smiled and shook the head, Zhu lip kissed him, "no! you" That’s right. Actually, before the ant plague broke out, I planned to build fortifications in the northern part of Centaur Hills."

Victor moved in his heart and said, "Are you targeting the lord of Dodo?"

p>

"It may be the lord of the Kingdom of Dodo, or it may be a monster or an orc on the edge of the endless forest. Well, now we need to add Ant-Man. Anyway, after the forest people have migrated, all the forces begin to Centaur Hills. stir." Sylvia clicked on two places on the map and continued: "We originally planned to build two large fortresses with horns here. If there are no rock bricks, this project will cost ten. Years."

Sylvia rubbed her forehead and said, "Victor, you really gave me a problem. Assuming Ant-Man will actually attack Centaur Hills from the north, then these two fortresses will It must be built as soon as possible. To be honest, we will be very strenuous to build 5 large fortresses in a row, and there are not so many soldiers in the family that can garrison 5 fortresses at the same time."

"So, I want to know, you judge What is the basis for Ant-Man's initiative to attack Centaur Hills?" Sylvia asked seriously.

Victor thought for a while, frowning and said: "Ant-man enters Centaur Hills to forage and reduce the number of similar species. This is a consensus. But you don't think that Ant-man has only this behavior, do you? You told me that Ant-Man may have destroyed an alien empire, and that alien empire would not know the weaknesses of Ant-Man? From this, it can be inferred that Ant-Man must have other aggressive behaviors, otherwise they would have been alienated a long time ago. The human empire is destroyed! In addition, the ant-man leaders will run away, indicating that they are very important to the ant colony. We have killed a lot of the ant-man leaders. Of course, these are just my guesses. But you will not trust the security of your territory. By luck?"

Sylvia froze for a while, and said annoyed: "Damn, I was blinded by the benefits of land and rock bricks. I should have thought of it a long time ago. The forest guys may have let go on purpose. The leader of Ant-Man, Ant-Man is also using the Centaur tribe to cut down on the superfluous kind. They formed a tacit understanding, and we replaced the Forest Centaur, but broke this tacit understanding. You are right, most Ant-Man will not let us go."

Sylvia's slender hand stroked her white and full forehead, and there was a sadness in her beautiful eyes. At this moment, she was no longer a powerful Golden Knight, a wise leader of the family, but was full of tenderness. Victor couldn't help but feel compassion. He stepped forward to embrace Sylvia's soft waist, comforted: "My dear, It’s not your fault. Ant-Man will eat up all the crops. We humans are different from the forest people. We have no choice but to kill the Ant-Man leader."

Sylvia leaned in Victor’s arms, It felt weird and warm. She was not without weakness, but since embarking on the road of Knight, she has never experienced the feeling of being cared for. After a while, Sylvia looked at Victor steadily, until Victor became a little unnatural, and then said viciously: "You can help me find a way!" Realizing that Sylvia's vicious tone had a hint of coquetry, she coughed dryly, "en! The ant-man leader is obviously different from ordinary ant-man cannon fodder. Since he has already killed a lot, try to kill as many as possible."

"Of course! I didn't intend to let them go. What I want to ask is, what about the fortress in the north?" Sylvia gave Victor a white look and said dissatisfiedly. She didn't know whether she was dissatisfied with Victor's answer, or she was dissatisfied with him letting go.

Victor said with a smile: "There are more people and more power, and more people can be recruited to solve these problems. With a sufficient population, the speed of building fortresses will increase, and more soldiers can be selected. "

Sylvia froze for a long time, and said disappointedly: "This is your way?"

"Is there any problem?" Victor asked puzzled.

Sylvia asked back: "Let's not talk about food. Where shall I go to recruit people?"

"Aren't there many free people in the kingdom?" Victor was surprised.

Sylvia said with a sneer: "Free people? Will they be willing to go to Centaur Hills to do hard work? Will they be willing to join the army and fight against the pioneering monsters? If they had such qualities, they would not have been free for a long time. Black Castle Town has taken in 120,000 people, of which the overwhelming majority are the people abandoned by other families, otherwise you think I will raise so many people!?"

"The free people are so unbearable?" Victor asked in surprise.

"What do you think? The land-lost people are not counted. Those free people who are lazy, greedy for life, fearing death, and dreaming all day long are completely rubbish, and other lords are eager to send these people out of their territory. These. A man can neither build a castle nor be a soldier, no matter how many recruits it is, it’s useless.” Sylvia sighed.

Victor was speechless. He also admitted that not everyone can become a qualified citizen. Those who are eliminated are partly because of limited land, and some are indeed their own problems. However, the main reason for Sylvia's opposition was that she was restricted by the vassal system. The lord of this world can do almost nothing without the vassal system. Victor is not going to say to break this point. The limitations of vassalism are his opportunity.

Sylvia pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "The most critical problem now is that I don’t know when Ant-Man will attack again. Since there is no better way, we can only take the northern territory of Centaur Hills. Give it to the powerful lords in the kingdom, let them build castles on their own, train the army, and become a barrier to our north."

Victor stunned: "You, you want to give the land in the north to other lords? "

"Victor, compared to war, compromise and cooperation between lords are the most common. At the beginning, King Lane used political means to force our family’s vassals to join in order to disintegrate our York family. Other forces. If it’s not Ryan’s bad luck, he will almost succeed when he meets the guy Neowest. Facing the three Golden Knights, I have no other way except to compromise. The current situation is the same, Augustus The family wanted our York family to establish dukedom in Centaur Hills. Of course, we couldn’t agree. This time, I would let the land north of Centaur Hills help the Elder's Council resolve to stand on my side, and the Augustus family could only choose to compromise. "Sylvia said, and sneered again.

Victor moved in his heart and asked: "How much territory do you want to give up?"

"A count collar is necessary." Sylvia said affirmatively.

Sylvia’s great generosity made Victor secretly stunned. The count is at least 15,000 square kilometers, which is almost one-tenth of the total area of ​​Centaur Hills. Sylvia will use a count leader to induce a powerful family to garrison the northern part of Centaur Hills and become the northern barrier of her core territory. It is difficult to say that this exchange is a loss or a gain. However, Victor believes that no matter which family, if they know that Ant-Man may attack Centaur Hills from the north, they will definitely not jump into the pit to pick up this cheap.

Victor doesn’t care about the life and death of other families. His eyes follow the mountain range on the map to the north. Gradually he has an idea. He said: “Sylvia, can you be close to the northern border? Give me a small piece of territory in the mountain range. It doesn’t need to be large, 50 square kilometers is enough!"

Sylvia looked at the place Victor pointed out, and asked suspiciously: "Which area do you want? What is the land for? Don’t look at the land that is leaning on the Duke Erickson. In fact, there is no village there. It’s completely a wilderness where monsters are rampant."

"Uh, you mean, Eriksson The Duke is just like you, just enclosing it there?"

"Bah, I'm not that shameless, at least I built a castle for you." Sylvia angered.

Victor touched his chin and sighed, "Well, it is indeed a castle, at least Elder's Council admits it."

"You know, I kept some dust. Falcon, these birds are very smart and can monitor a considerable area. I plan to build a sentry there. If Ant-Man is really attacking from the north, we can prepare in advance." Victor went on to explain.

Sylvia eyes shined, and said softly: "I will give you 300 square kilometers of land, as long as you help me tame 20 dust falcons, how about?"

Victor looked at the sky with his eyes In silence, Sylvia's replay of the old trick reminded him of the scammers who sold the land on the moon.

Seeing Victor's face with disdain, Sylvia slim eyebrows, his little snow-white hand stretched directly to Victor's cheek, facing the upcoming ravages, Victor had to give in.

"Don’t pinch! Well, I can help you tame the Dust Falcon. However, I can’t guarantee anything. Those Dust Falcons are very dependent on me, and they will run away if they don’t see me for a long time. In addition, at all There are not so many Dust Falcons. I can only help you tame three."

Sylvia kissed Victor’s lips with a grinning eyebrow, said with a smile: "I know, tame Dust Falcon is Your bloodline innate talent. As long as your pets can help my Knight search for the retreating ant-man leader. It doesn't matter if the dust falcon runs away, you will continue to help us, right?"

Victor saw Sylvia smiling like a flower, and he was in a daze. Unconsciously, he and Sylvia were so close.

"At this time, I will discuss it with the other members of the family. Whether or not to cede a piece of land to other families, the land in the north already belongs to you, at least legally. Lord Viscount." Sylvia regained her former wisdom and clarity.
