Transcendent Noble

Victor wants to cultivate power in the Eastern Alliance. First, he suspects that the Wizard of Masked Brotherhood unearthed the remains of the civilization of the Alchemy Empire there. Second, His Royal Highness Randal has not tasted the seafood of this world.

The first reason, Victor does not intend to discuss it with anyone for the time being. The second reason is currently not suitable for more people to know.

The sea itself has endless fish and aquatic resources. Even if the land of the Eastern Alliance is barren and barren, Victor can feed hundreds of thousands of people as long as he occupies a few outlets on the coast of the Eastern Alliance. The Centaur Hills fleet descended straight down the river, and then relied on the Eastern Alliance’s harbour for replenishment and rest. Centaur Hills’ hired Legion could drive north along the coastline, bypass Needham Great Swamp, and enter the fertile northern wilderness; the fleet headed south. , And you can freely choose the landing point on the coastline of Southern Continent.

Controlling the shipping rights of Jinshuihe and the seaport of Eastern Alliance means that Centaur Hills will have a more relaxed strategic space. Sylvia listened to Victor's detailed introduction, greatly appreciated, and decided to fully support his plan to export to the sea.

The plan has two main components. First, in the name of Golden Group, a port node will be built on the north bank of the Jinshui River to ensure that the Centaur Hills fleet can take advantage of the monsoon season to return to Centaur from Borui Dahe Bay. Rose Harbor in the Hills. These ports to be built include the Fess Lake port under the Rand Empire, the Eastern Alliance near Suse Kingdom Fall Lake, and the transit river port between Borui’s Great River Bay and the Fall Lake. It is also within the territory of the Eastern Alliance, close to Bo The sphere of influence of the United Kingdom of Switzerland.

Secondly, Centaur Hills must subordinate a political force near the coastline of Eastern Alliance in advance, and wait for the fleet of Centaur Hills to go down the river, straight into the sea, and then move north along the shore. The two sides will meet on the coastline of the Eastern Alliance. , Established the enclave regime of Centaur Hills in one fell swoop.

If Victor’s previous strategic layout emphasized external development, symbiosis and win-win, it belongs to moderate diplomacy. Then, the estuary plan is his Battle of Supremacy strategy. Because the soft persimmon he was going to pinch was the Eastern Alliance, which Suse, Borui and the referee regarded as their own land. Maybe Victor will fight a war with Borui United Kingdom.

In order to seize sea power, Victor has the determination to fight. But if he wants to win the war of sea power, he must be fully prepared, including the legality of launching the war; disintegrating the alliance of interests between Borui, Suse and the referee in the east; storing thorium ore, building a thorium battleship and other measures. In fact, the internal conflicts of the Radiance Knight regiment gave Victor an opportunity. The head of the Radiance Knight regiment would rather the Trigoval family develop secular power in the northern wilderness than to tolerate them shrinking to the Eastern Alliance and watching their colleagues live and die on the front line. This will split the Radiance Knight regiment and challenge the leadership of the Testiel family. For the high-ranking priests of Church, this is another great opportunity for the Cardinals to regain the power of religious judgment. Because of this, Clement welcomes Victor and Sylvia to reach into the Eastern Alliance, hoping that the strength of Centaur Hills can open the situation locally.

As Sylvia expected, Clement provided a lot of convenience when she received her letterhead. He even asked Bishop Pierot to send Eastern Alliance map data.

However, the key to the success of the Haikou Project lies in keeping secrets. If the plan is leaked out in advance, the pope will turn to work with the Borui people 100%. Seeing the huge benefits of sea power, the Borui people did not hesitate to turn their faces with the judges and swallow half of the Eastern Alliance. In this way, Clement not only achieved the goal, but also avoided the conflict between Centaur Hills and the Kingdom of Borui.

Victor shook the head, and said annoyedly:

"My dear, we cover up, the Pope will definitely be interested in our purpose. Any help he can give us, In fact, it’s all temptations again and again. You see, Pierot sent someone to pass the map, which marked the areas where the church has been proven to be suitable for human settlement in the Eastern Alliance. The locals call them “grass islands”. Except for the west and the south. And the northern Caodao Island is controlled by humans, and the rest of the Caohai Island Lord of the Unowned Caohai Island should be concentrated in the eastern part of the sea. And the Blue Gull Harbor is just at the east end of the north bank of the Jinshui River in the Borui Kingdom, faintly and in the east. The main grass islands are connected in a line. Clement sent Dimic over to preside over the teaching affairs of Blue Gull Harbor. Isn’t it just to test whether we will open up the grass islands on the east coast?"

Sylvia sits upright, He raised his hand to adjust the hair in his ear, and said with a smile: "Except for the unowned grassy island in the east, where can we occupy it? Besides, we were going to control the easternmost coastline of the Eastern Alliance. The Borui Kingdom is in Jinshui. There are four port cities on the Hebei coast. Blue Gull Port is located at the eastern end, where there are many fish Human Race groups. Blue Gull Port is a port, rather than a military town that prevents murlocs from moving westward. Among the four ports, Its resident population is the smallest, with only more than 20,000 people, which is not as good as your Flatlake Town. Clement’s high-ranking priests have ceded the Borui Major Sect area to Tamor. Dimick is the confidant of Archbishop Lazarus. He I can only preside over the educational affairs of Blue Gull Harbor, which is the least influential."

"My dear, I think you worry too much."

Victor was silent for a moment and said: "I admit you It makes sense. But we need at least 20 years to set up the Eastern Alliance, and Clement will not stop testing us. If he realizes that we are preparing for war, he will definitely undermine our plan to export to the sea."

Sylvia shook her head and said: "I don't think it's necessarily...Dear, you might as well introduce in detail about the mountain people's stronghold. I want to know its demographic changes and your disposal measures."

The mountain people's stronghold controlled by the Golden Group is an important part of the seaport plan. Victor's population and sources of troops transferred to the Eastern Alliance mainly come from the mountain people's stronghold. Sylvia agreed with Victor's layout because it did not require the direct input of Centaur Hills in the early stage of the seaport plan, which greatly eased the military burden of Golden Water City.

Centaur Hills’ south expansion strategy must take precedence over the export plan.

Sylvia does not have the habit of doing everything by himself, and did not ask much about the specific situation of the mountain people's stronghold.

For a while, Victor couldn’t figure out the inner connection between the mountain people’s stronghold and Clement’s position. Without omission and in detail, Victor said:

" There is no essential difference in the village. The resources of the mountain hunting ground determine the population size of the mountain village. When the number of newborns in the mountain village increases, the mountain hunters need to expand their hunting and gathering areas, and the risk of encountering beasts and monsters increases. Adult mountain people suffer death and injury. It also reduces the population of the cottage. The population of the cottage is basically in a balanced state."

"In order to survive, the mountain people have many unwritten customs. For example, experienced hunters organize many branches. Hunt the squad and hunt on the edge of the hunting ground. Although the hunting squad does not have the ability to defeat the ferocious wild beast and monster, it can spread the risk and prevent the hunters of the cottage from being annihilated. When encountering danger, the old hunter will choose without the slightest hesitation. After the break, or diverting the monster to fight for the chance of escape for the young hunters. They have almost no chance of being spared... Those women who are old and infertile mountain people will gather nuts and wild vegetables in the furthest mountain forest, and they are also particularly vulnerable to being caught. Wild beast attack."

Victor paused, and his voice became a little low, "The cottage has bad luck. A powerful monster invades the hunting ground. The young and strong hunters have suffered more than 40% of the casualties. This cottage basically can’t keep it. The mountain people will abandon their homes and escape into the intermarriage cottage. Although this will make the cottage food scarce, the mountain people never hesitate to lend a hand to the victims. However, this custom is for strangers who encounter mountain people hunting squad. , It is equivalent to barbaric plunder."

He said with a smile: "The mountain people encounter strangers, and they must be taken back to the cottage and arrange a spouse for them. If they don’t obey, the mountain people will They uniformed, stripped all their clothes, snatched all the supplies, and allowed them to fend for themselves in the wild. Because the mountain people believe that those who refuse to return to the cottage will be eaten by the wild beast sooner or later. Therefore, many refugees are migrating. On the way, they were all tied up to the cottage."

"The benefits of doing this are also obvious. The bloodline of the new member can avoid the deformities caused by the intermarry of relatives. In fact, four or five cottages intermarry with each other. , Watch and help each other to form a big hunting ground. When a cottage has a problem, the remaining cottages will take in the victims, accumulate their strength, and then try to regain the water source. It can be said that the mountain village has effectively restrained the expansion of the monster ethnic group."

"From my standpoint, the mountain people have the valuable qualities of tenacious, tenacious, brave and sturdy." Victor commented .

Sylvia outlined a charming smile, and the interface said: "Because you have tens of thousands of mountain people under your command, they are distributed in the depths of the forests of Gambis, Dodo and Sasan Empire. You are their uncrowned king."

Victor laughed, high-spirited and vigorous said: "I am indeed their uncrowned king. The smuggling caravan under my command has brought great changes to the mountain villages. They taught the mountain people to grow sweet potatoes. , The technology and medical knowledge of raising wild boars, regular provision of materials and armament supplies, to realize the connection between the cottage groups, young mountain men and women follow the smuggling caravan to marry other cottage groups, which solves the problem of intermarriage of close relatives. The survival of mountain people The condition has improved, the birth rate of newborns has decreased, the average lifespan has increased by 5 years, and the number of the cottage population has soared... This has brought me a huge burden."

"The cottage has limited water resources and irrigation Not much sweet potato. For the sake of concealment and control, I forbid my men to help the mountain people build streams and reservoirs. The population of the cottage exceeds the upper limit of the hunting grounds. They now have smuggling caravans as their support, so I begged my men to help them. Opening up a new hunting ground settlement."

Sylvia light flashed and asked in surprise: "You agreed?"

Victor said with a bitter smile: "I can object It’s hard for me to look back... Now, my smuggler, Bacheng, is a young mountain hunter, and their relationship with the cottage is difficult to separate. Since they are working for me, I have smashed so many for the stronghold of the cottage. Money, you can’t just forget it, right?"

"Smuggling caravans attacked water sources occupied by jackals, moved mountain people, and built new cottage strongholds. These strongholds are located deep in the forest, far away from the lord. In the villages, there are no cottage groups that watch and help each other. They are isolated, except for the smuggling caravans, without any assistance force. I am not allowed to purchase armaments, arm them, and send smuggling caravans to regularly patrol the new strongholds to fight against the jackal werewolf race group. Most of the Golden Group’s revenue is spent on the new base, and the annual net profit is less than 10,000 jinsols."

Victor sighed and said depressed: "Sophia asked me to give up Shanmin Stronghold, there is still a vision..."

Sylvia coldly snorted, and asked: "How much did you invest and how many new bases did you build?"

"Uh... now There should be 53 new bases, and the profits from smuggling coffee are basically used up."

"How much is it?"

"About...50 million Kingsore Well, maybe there are not so many..."

"hehe, 500,000 goldsouls are all used by the mountain people ...Honey, you are so rich. "Sylvia smiles like a flower, her white teeth shining with dangerous rays of light.

Victor likes Sylvia's soft red lips, but never wants to be bitten by her. He quickly started to save himself. Touching his smooth chin, his eyes were deep and he said:

"Well, these new strongholds are isolated from the world, and the people of the mountain are completely dependent on me. They have hard-working, tenacious and brave qualities. As long as they instill the concept of loyalty and the secrets of source blood, they will be very good soldiers... Each new stronghold is equivalent to my rebel training camp. The most important thing is that their belief in the Lord of Radiance is superficial, the church has very low influence on them, and they are not in the sight of the church and the lord. They don't even know who I am. It can be said that this is a reliable and useful hidden power. "

Sylvia turned her anger into joy, offered a sweet kiss, giggled and said with a smile: "My dear, you are the most visionary person I have ever seen. "

Victor shook his head and sighed: "I was originally just to make the high profit of coffee, and I didn't expect things to turn into this situation. "

Sylvia nodded and said: "The lord is unwilling to inherit the identity of the mountain people. The fundamental reason is that the territory cannot accommodate too many people. Although the situation has improved and the lord regards the refugees as wealth, if the mountain people are moved, it will lead to the proliferation of wolves and goblin tribes. If they help the mountain people develop settlements, they will sacrifice family soldiers and trainee Knight. Except for Naville, no lord is willing to cause trouble like the mountain people. "

"You did something that the ordinary lord is unwilling to do, isn't it because you have a secret warrior in your hand? "

Victor nodded agreed with Sylvia's statement, said with a slight smile: "In any case, we control tens of thousands of mountain people, and we can continuously send hidden power to the Eastern Alliance. It will be a matter of time before we occupy a grassy island near the eastern coast. "

Sylvia said: "This situation is exactly the same as when you opened a mountain base. We can do things that Borui people can't do. "

"Why don't Borui people build a seaport and not take the sea? It is said that the coastal murlocs are stronger, taller, and more numerous than the river murlocs. The Borui are unwilling to fight the coastal murlocs at attrition. Their battleship is not designed for sailing, and there is no way to land on beaches where murlocs are concentrated. However, the coastal murlocs could not fight back in front of the large Legion's infantry phalanx. We have a standardized Big Legion that can do things that Borui people are unwilling to do. This is the initiative. "

"Pastor Dimic belongs to the Clement faction, but he is not Clement, he has his own political ambitions. Red-clothed bishop, if you don't make mistakes, you can accumulate your work and be promoted to cardinal bishop. The Sasan Empire has three Major Sect areas, the Tamor faction occupies four Major Sect areas, and the Clement faction lost two Major Sect areas. Although their seat in the Cardinal House is temporarily advantageous, in the long run, the Clement faction is in a very disadvantaged position. Clement puts his bet on us and the Naville people, hoping that we can add at least four Major Sect areas to them in the big development. If we can help them open up a new Major Sect area in Eastern Alliance, Dimick will be the biggest beneficiary, he will choose to support us, and Clement will also pretend to be deaf and dumb. Because he owes Lazarus a cardinal seat. Otherwise, why did he put Dimick in the hopeless port of Blue Gull? "

Victor suddenly enlightened, nodding his head: "With principles and flexibility, this is a mature political leader. "

Sylvia reminded: "Dear, Eastern Alliance's situation is very complicated, even if Dimick takes care of it in secret, we can't be negligent. The exiled nobles selected by Clement for us can be placed in the open to attract the attention of the court, the Borui Kingdom and the Suse Kingdom. The down-and-out knight-errant you support can directly open up the grassy islands of no owner in the east, without too much worries, on the contrary, it is not easy to reveal our true intentions. "

"Well, you are right. While manipulating the exiled nobles to choose a settlement on the north bank of the Jinshui River, we lured the knight-errant nobles into the no man's land in the east, avoiding the sight of the court, and establishing an isolated island camp similar to a mountain stronghold. "

At this time, there was laughter from the little attendant outside the car. Victor pulled the curtain and saw the majestic figure of Blinol city standing on the distant horizon, indifferently said:

"Wait for our fleet to enter the Big River... The Eastern Alliance is so powerful, but it's just sweeping. "
