City of Sin: Eighty-one accident/surprise down
The arrival of Viscount Zim Viscount personally was a very important thing, but Richard has been completely blinded by Eio and quicksand in recent days, so much so that it has ignored such an important signal. // ~ (Genius can remember in 3 seconds
But on the other hand, Richard really didn't care about Zim. After heavily invading the army with the Duke Glassbow private army, unless the Duke made up his mind to eliminate the Richard and make up the army, otherwise Richard has proved by facts that the level of force can't help him.
If the Duke really sends an army in desperation, then Richard does n’t mind spending a few months with Bloodstained Lands. And he also believed that the Duke ’s enemies would be very happy to see the opportunity.
However, at this time, Richard nodded to Zim like a tacit understanding, and then glanced at the rest of the noble representatives, saying, "Which one wants to join the coalition, or has better suggestions, or Just withdraw, you can say. "
With the example of the Zim Viscount, several aristocratic representatives hesitated to join the coalition. Soon, Richard will now have a thousand knights and more than 5,000 infantry. This does not include his own troops. In this situation, to be honest, Richard predicted that he really did not expect the influence and appeal of Zim Viscount in the nobility. Maybe Zim is nothing, but there is a huge family behind him. When people think about every sentence Zim said, the first thing to think about is who he represents.
A middle-aged aristocrat coughed and asked, "Your Excellency Richard, if we do not join the coalition forces, do not know what the consequences will be?"
Richard shrugged and said, "There are no consequences. It's just that if you don't join the coalition family, you will have the same troubles in Bloodstained Lands as before."
The middle-aged nobleman was alert and asked, "Trouble? What trouble? After your plan succeeded, didn't you say it would open a safe passage in Bloodstained Lands?"
Richard said: "That channel is indeed safe, but only for families joining the coalition forces. ~"
"What do you mean?" The eyes of the middle-aged nobleman became very sharp. Behind him is a man of strength Earl. Ping Su has always been respected and flattered in the aristocratic social circle.
"Bloodstained Lands can be very safe or dangerous." Richard explained patiently, although his smile seemed very dangerous: "For example, the caravan of Red Cossack has recently happened one after another. For them, Bloodstained Lands is too dangerous. ..
The middle-aged nobleman's face became very ugly, he snorted, and slowly sat down.
The meaning of Richard is very clear, that is, you do n’t want to join the coalition, but in the future, if the forces of this family enter Bloodstained Lands, they may be attacked. It doesn't matter where the attack comes from. For Pioneer Knight, which can rise in Bloodstained Lands like Richard, it takes only a few minutes for the army under its control to become a horse bandit.
This is not a violation of the rules, and it cannot even be considered a threat. Since there is no alliance, Richard has no obligation to them. Rights and obligations are always corresponding.
Understand the rules of the game, and the nobles present have begun to say that they want to join the coalition. Richard soon had 1,500 knights available, and infantry reached as many as 10,000! So that Richard had to limit the infantry size of the later joiners, and increased the level and equipment requirements.
The North-South Line Plan needs soldiers with sufficient mobility, rather than a huge army that can be counted and mediocre.
While watching the one by one aristocratic representatives gradually become active, Richard was not happy at all. He stared fiercely at Viscount Zim, but the white and seemingly more rounded Viscount immediately returned with a smile that even had some flattering invitations to help, making Richard cry and laugh.
The original plan of Richard is indeed to open up the channel of Bloodstained Lands. But it does not need so many troops, nor does it need so many family support. In fact, there is no aristocratic support. Based on the force and allies that Richard has now, and the existence of Broodmother, it can also ** open the way to Dwarf Empire, but it takes only a longer time. And in the later period when benefits begin to appear, it is necessary to guard against threats from the rear. After all, nominally, Richard is currently a Lesser Lord of Sequoia Kingdom.
The reason for convening all relevant nobles to discuss together, in fact, Richard is for future consideration. After this meeting, Richard is equivalent to proclaiming the legality of freely expanding Bloodstained Lands and monopolizing Bloodstained Lands for him The road lays a foreshadowing.
This big piece of cake, Richard actually wants to swallow.
However, a Zim Viscount suddenly appeared! The unicorn Viscount's attitude towards Richard not only brought a complete change, but also completely destroyed the original plan of Richard in such a peculiar way.
Looking now, coalition forces are not an optional option.
Richard thinks very fast, Wisdom Blessing is fully activated, thinking about the current situation.
In fact, the formation of coalition forces is also beneficial. Richard can have more troops in hand, and the plan to get through Bloodstained Lands will inevitably speed up a lot. On the other hand, thinking deeply, Richard is a Foreign Plane intruder, and nobles who have in-depth cooperation with him will inevitably be suspected of cooperating with intruders in the future.
Humans will still compromise, but for Gods this is a matter of principle, and there is no room for compromise! Anyone who cooperates with the intruder will be sent to the gallows!
So Richard is like a group of natural allies, but they are still vague and ignorant.
After another intense discussion in the afternoon, North-South Line Plan finally took shape.
A total of six nobles withdrew from the plan, and the rest were willing to join the coalition, and handed over the command to Richard. The final size of the coalition is two thousand knights and eight thousand infantry. The logistic forces organized by the families together amount to 30,000.
The scale of Richard ’s own troops is nearly 3,000. However, this time to implement North-South Line Plan, Richard is only preparing to dispatch 1,500 people.
Once the plan is successful and the channel is opened, Richard will get 25% of the profits. On the surface, the revenue ratio does not match the strength of the Richard, but the Viscount Zim strongly supports it, and the soul of the coalition is the highest commander.
Zim's ardent support for Richard is equivalent to the attitude of Highland Unicorn Family in the eyes of other nobles. Since the relationship between the two supposedly hostile lords seemed too weird, the nobles at the meeting inevitably thought of the old rivals Duke Glassbow and Direwolf Duke standing behind the two parties, so they inevitably repeated speculation, observation, and opposition. Powerful, this distribution plan was finalized.
Following is the favorite banquet of the nobles, but no one wants to attend, but chooses to send the news back as soon as possible.
In the middle of the night, Richard stayed alone in War Room, and began to calculate the success or failure of the plan against the Bloodstained Lands map.
If the plan is successful, the total income will reach the size of 10 million/whatever happens gold coins! But correspondingly, the investment is huge. The military cost and the death benefit of the entire coalition will reach an astonishing two million gold coins.
If North-South Line Plan is unsuccessful, then while military spending will increase substantially, the return will be zero. This is where the risk lies.
The vertical line is an action that Richard originally planned to take one year to complete. It relies on the huge benefits brought by Norland and the High Level Warrior created by Broodmother.
Once the plan is successful, Richard will not only gain a value-for-money trade line, but its own strength will also become one of the core strengths of Bloodstained Lands.
However, another purpose of Richard is to remove the nails that one by one must be removed in the course of the longitudinal line.
His route is not chosen at random. Those that must be removed must have minerals that have not yet been fully exploited in Faro, such as the Cloud Iron mine in the ground fissure canyon, such as the flaming streaky stone of Black Flame Mountain. , Or you can get a lot of items with divinity. Such as the Canovenson camp consisting of dozens of large and small tribes, the ruins of the legendary Troll capital Jubwar and so on.
Minerals also need to be divided among the nobility. Those items with divinity, such as Shaman statues and the like, are all big supplements for Broodmother. The Broodmother stuck on Rank 5 can no longer rely on Magic Crystal and eating alone to advance the ranks. Its further promotion requires divine support. And these items, in the eyes of the nobles, even temple Priest, should also be a waste of fire.
However, one by one is a little troublesome, that is how Priest like quicksand stands in front of the nobles. However, the Faro Plane is extremely broad, and it is full of Gods. How many True God are there is information that only gods above Intermediate Divine Power can know.
During thousands of years of long years, gods have constantly fallen and new gods have been born. If you look at the entire history of Plane, then there is no mortal who knows how many True God have been born in history. Because God Department and God's Obligation are great secrets, Gods, which records many elements of True God Divine Power, appears to be so important and is jointly prohibited by Gods.
True God may fall, or God Kingdom may be closed, temporarily sleeping, or may even be born to a mortal with divine blood, looking forward to reignite Divine Fire. Therefore, many new gods that were born in the history of Faro are actually the resurrection of ancient deities.
Kingdom of God is so complicated that it is less likely to be mastered by those who are mortal God's Obligation. Therefore, when two strangers of God's Obligation meet each other, the first thing is to check the Divine Spell level and Divine Power characteristics of the other party. This is a way to identify the camp, such as deception and lies God's Obligation two deity's ministers are likely to conflict. The gods of order and chaos are naturally opposites. However, as long as it is not a natural antagonism or God's Obligation conflicting Gods, Cleric will not easily conflict.
