Transcendent Noble

Victor has not forgotten the free people trend that made him battered and exhausted. It was the storm that made Victor realize two problems: First, a transmigrator will die if he is not careful. If you don't accept it, secondly, it won't work if you don't have any influence.

At that time, in order to cope with the free people turmoil, Victor used the alchemy war mastiff to deter those who turn up without being invited, and at the same time let his mountain people control the free people's temporary residence. Victor thought that he had handled it well and could survive the crisis safely. It was not until he met Sylvia that he learned that the freedmen’s residence had been controlled by the Beria family a long time ago, and they could encourage freedmen to attack their core area at any time. If it hadn't been for the outbreak of the ant tide, he would have been able to shelter under the wings of the York family. Therefore, Victor and the Beria family have a festival that neither too big nor too small.

Baron Matthew's seemingly provocative remarks are actually showing Victor's position. He and Austin Beria are not the same. If Victor wants to guard against the Queen and Austin, he must continue to deal with Baron Matthew, which is exactly what Baron Matthew expected. Therefore, Baron Matthew graciously invited Victor to visit his manor at the right time when he left, but Victor did not comment on this.

Victor knew that as long as he went to Baron Matthew’s manor as a guest, Baron Matthew would try to let everyone know about this. Then the members of the Beria family would re-evaluate their position, because in the large In the eyes of most people, Victor represents the powerful York family. This is taking advantage of the situation!

It is not easy for Baron Matthew to take advantage of Victor. Victor has no plan to retaliate against the Queen or Austin, and the struggle between the lords will not be as shallow as gangsters. But if given the chance, Victor wouldn't mind giving them some eye drops. In short, Baron Matthew must demonstrate sufficient value before Victor will support him, such as sending a few more flame crystals.

Victor played with the flame crystal in his hand, but Lilia pouted: "Victor, why don't you determine the ownership of the forest with Baron Matthew? I don't think this crystal can be worth that piece of land."

Victor slightly smiled, flame crystal is the red crystal in Buso's mouth. It can not only shorten the production cycle of rock brick by five days, but also extract purer thorium, mithril and iron essence, thereby Improve the quality of various equipment and reduce the amount of precious metals. Simply put, red crystal can improve the production efficiency, quality and quantity of Thorium equipment, and the increase is huge.

Unfortunately, Lilia didn’t know this, and Victor couldn’t share his joy with her, so he had to explain: "Lilia, no lord will talk about borders, because simply has no borders."

p>

"Why is this? Isn't it all marked on the map?" Lilia cried out in surprise.

"The boundary on the map is actually a line, but is it wired in reality?" Victor shook his head, and said, "It is the strength that determines the territory, not the map. Who can actually control the territory, who is the territory? Yes. At the beginning, Chebman's family controlled the mithril mine, but I didn't go to fight with them. On the map, the Jinshui River bank is also our territory, but in fact the fisherman is the lord of the Jinshui River bank. That forest Under our control, that is ours, and this is not necessary to discuss."

"It turns out that it is." Lilia looked thoughtful and nodded, and asked: "Then the borders on the map are not right. It doesn’t make sense then?"

"It’s meaningless at first, otherwise, how could our territory be as large as tens of thousands of square kilometers? It’s not just the York family. It’s said that there is a small family in the east claiming to be A descendant of an empire, their territory covers the entire northern wilderness, covering tens of millions of square kilometers. However, they only have one castle and two villages, and their actual territory is similar to that of the Lord." Victor said with a smile.

Lilia also laughed, and then said disappointedly: "I thought our territory really is so big, didn't expect it was just drawn by York's family."

" Uh, how do you say it? Not all families are eligible to enclose land on the map. The York family is not a territory but a sphere of influence. This kind of enclosure is not valid for monsters, for violent animals, and for free people. It has a deterrent effect on other lord forces. Centaur Hills is too big, and the York family cannot prevent other forces or freedmen from entering Centaur Hills to collect, hunt, and even dig minerals. But whoever dares to build castles and villages in Centaur Hills, Sylvia’s The Rose Knights will kill them all. Therefore, the Chebman family will pretend to be free people to sneak in to mine. The York family said that it gave up 16,000 square kilometers of territory, in fact, allowing other forces to enter the Centaur Hills to build castles and fortresses. The suppression of the York family is very large, so the Royal Family immediately agreed to the proposal of the York family."

"Of course, sphere of influence and actual control are completely different things. At least monsters and orcs will not admit that we humans plan The sphere of influence is determined. Only Knight and the castle can determine the ownership of the territory. Knight determines the sphere of influence, and the castle determines the scope of control. The emperor Rand Empire I has a famous saying: Where the Knight regiment goes is my territory, the place where the castle is built. This is my territory."

Lilia said frustratedly: "We neither have a Knight nor a castle, so our territory is not small and pitiful."

Victor scratched his head a bit, and practiced. The Golden Crow cooperated with the alchemy war mastiff, not only completely controlled the viscountry, but also controlled the 700 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide mountainous area, and will control more land in the future. But Victor impossible admits the relationship between the alchemy war mastiff and himself, so no one will recognize Victor's sphere of influence. Therefore, Victor is completely opposite to the other lords. The castle and the village determine his sphere of influence, and his actual control sphere is far greater than the sphere of influence. This seemingly weak but strong appearance will bring some troubles to Victor. The most prominent problem is that it is not conducive to recruiting the population and stabilizing people's hearts.

Victor has many homunculus types around him. The ordinary person may not see the clues, but it is inevitable that Knight will find something strange. Therefore, if the population of the territory is less than 10,000, Victor will not recruit Knight.

It's fine without Knight, but you can't live without a castle. In addition to its defensive function, the castle is also a symbol of the status of a lord. According to the agreement between Victor and Sylvia, Victor’s castle will be built with stone provided by the York family, and Victor will produce blue bricks for the York family to build a brick kiln. After the first batch of rock bricks are produced by the York family, Victor can build more with rock bricks Towns and fortresses.

Victor and the senior leaders of the York family understand the value and troubles contained in rock bricks. Only by close cooperation between the two parties can the impact of rock bricks be minimized. Therefore, Victor is producing giants for the York family. Ordinary blue bricks of the brick kiln.

"Lilia, the castle will have it. The York family is demolishing the castles abandoned by the Prince's party. The stone will be supplied to us first. Of course, we need to exchange it with blue bricks. By the way, blue bricks How's the production situation like?" Victor asked.

"It's not ideal. The mining site is too far away from Zhuanyao Village, and our bullock carts are not enough." Lilia shook her head and said, "Why can't Victor dig clay nearby? He has to run to Jinshui. Mining near the river?"

"Of course it was to dig a hole." Victor said with a smile.

60 kilometers north of the capital of Gambis, there is a vast mountain forest. The hunting event organized by the Augustus family is held here .

Hunting is an important entertainment and communication activity in the life of nobles. It originated from the pioneering behavior of the human Knight, and it embodies Knight's bravery and combat skills. Therefore, the hunting event held by the royal family also has the nature of military exercises. The royal family invites powerful lords to participate in the hunting event, and the lords bring their Knights and obedience to obey the royal family's orders, target the prey, cooperate with each other, and carry out hunting.

Generally speaking, the hunting event should be held in the windy season. At that time, all the animals were fat and strong. And Gambis held a hunting event in the Season of Water to send an important message to the outside world: the lord of Gambis is united and impeccable.

The flags were displayed on the hillside, among which the banner of the York family stood beside the Augustus family camp. In the camp, Sylvia, Goron, and Lora are sitting opposite each other. These three Peak Knights are the figures who can determine the fate of Cambis.

"According to Night Owl's investigation, Sasan Empire is cooperating with the Radiance Knight regiment to attack a centaur tribe. It is very rare for humans to actively attack the northern wilderness. Only a few times in history have ended in failure. The sword saint Drawin won. It’s not clear why Sasanian took the initiative to attack the Centaur tribe? What is clear is that there are 9 Golden Knights in Sasan Empire. The other two Golden Knights, one guards the Imperial Capital and the other guards The prairie." Marquis Goron said to Sylvia.

"hehe, Sasanian is unable to go south. We Cambis also have to defend against Ant-Man. This was originally the best time for the Dodo Kingdom to regain the prairie, but because a certain Princess was unwilling to marry, they let them The plan failed." Sylvia glanced sideways, Lora who was doing nothing.

"Dodian is too courageous, it's all useless waste." Lora wrinkled her beautiful nose, indicating that she would not carry the pot.

"Dodian has lost spirit and their thoughts are irrelevant. The question now is, if Crown Prince Sasan really proposes to you, will you marry or not?" Sylvia asked Lora.

The atmosphere in the camp became serious, and Marquis Goron and Sylvia stared at Lora at the same time. At this time, Lora's attitude determines Cambis's future. As long as Lora says that she will not marry, Goron will force her to be crowned king to appease allies. If Lora says to marry, it is another situation, at least Sylvia will move closer to the Augustus family.

"Are you so sure, Sasanian is playing for real?" Lora asked rhetorically.

"hmph! The sword has been drawn out. Are you still doubting Sasanian's determination? Only when the war between the Sasan Empire and the Centaur tribe is over, Prince Sasan will propose to you, and the conditions remain the same." Sylvia said coldly.

Lora put her hand on her cheek, and said in annoyance: "I don’t know if Crown Prince Sasan is handsome or not? Is it my type? If he is young and handsome and I refuse him like this, he will not Will you commit suicide without thinking about it? Hey! What's your expression?"

"You take your time to think about it! I'll go out and breathe out first."

Sylvia outwards blankly Goron stopped her when she came to the door.

"Sylvia, what if Dodian and Neowest are upset?"

"I am here, my attitude!" Sylvia said back, "But the stone and materials you promised Send it to Centaur Hills as soon as possible. If the fortress is not built before the next ant outbreak, then I can only give up Centaur Hills."
