Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 416: On allies

Chapter 416 On Allies

"Are agreements reached?" Lorist asked quietly.

This is a very rich mansion in the Windbury King City Aristocrat(s) area. It was originally the residence of Count, a southern province of Iberia Kingdom, but the luxurious mansion was closed after its owner was executed by Grand Duke Fisablen four years ago for treason. Lorist, with his Northern Land Grand Duke(s) status, can stay in the Rose Palace, but he did not want to get together with Second Highness, so he chose this mansion as his place to stay.

When Charade returned, it was almost dusk, and he found that Lorist was sitting by the dark study window and watching the sunset. Hearing the question from Lorist, he took off his outer cloak and handed it to Gennario next to him, and commanded: "Get me a bottle of fruit wine and drink a tea in the afternoon without any taste."

"His Royal Highness, an agreement has been reached. Grand Duke Fisablen is willing to issue a horseshoe gold worth one million gold fordes as a third ransom rider Legion 40,000 soldier(s) free ransom, but what they require is that we configure the 40,000 soldier(s) with good equipment Weapon. "Charade pulled a chair and sat next to Lorist.

"Hehe ..." Lorist sneered: "It seems that the family of Fisablen Family is very rich. It has just been dedicated to Second Highness for 1 million, and in a blink of time it can also take out 1 million for ransom. It seems that the price of the goods sold to them next time It has to be doubled. But for a million dollars, he wanted us to equip 40,000 people with weapons and equipment, and his idea was really good. "

Fisablen Family's frontier ranger Legion soldier(s) is equipped with cavalry 109 armor and weapons customized from Norton Family. One set requires 65 gold fordes. After the surrender of the third frontier defense Legion, its equipment and weapons were recovered by Norton Family. Now Grand Duke Fisablen wants to use horseshoe gold worth one million gold fordes to make 40,000 surrendered soldier(s) armed forces again. No wonder Lorist said that he had a good idea.

"His Royal Highness, this agreement requires your consent to be implemented. If you do not agree, we will slowly talk to them, anyway, it is not us." Charade said.

Lorist shook his head slightly: "It's not that simple. What do our three allies say?"

Charade took a glass of fruit wine from Gennario, and Meimei took a sip: "Count Felim and Shaheen Count think that we and Grand Duke Fisablen now belong to Andinak Kingdom and are allies who have jointly ventured to the central four Dukedom. They can let them go. There is no need to force them so tightly. Duke Kenmays did our best to bargain for us, but Grand Duke Fisablen killed them. This is their bottom line. Apart from this one million, they can no longer afford an gold fordes. As for our King Your Majesty, of course, he speaks for Fisablen Family. He has signaled several times that we will accept it when we see it. Do n’t go too far ... "

Lorist was silent for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, there is no need to worry about it, so as not to let people say that we are Norton Family small family. The soldier(s) of the third border defense Legion is not the same as our previously captured army, their families are all In Fisablen Family Territory, and they were forced to surrender, they have been dissatisfied, thinking that we defeated them by coincidence. Especially their army Captain, after bearing the responsibility of surrender in front of them, bragged about themselves, and even made those soldier(s) to We in Norton Family harbor the desire of resentment and revenge. We cannot let them be used by our family. The longer the captivity, the deeper the hatred, let them go back. "

"Her Royal Highness, then you are not afraid to let the tiger return to the mountains. If Fisablen Family fights with us again, these soldier(s) are all super powerful forces?" Charade is not in favor of releasing the more than 40,000 veterans.

"Oh, superpowers? Just rely on them?" Lorist laughed and dismissed: "I admit that the spiritual power can make these soldier(s)s more powerful when they play against us Norton Family armed forces, but that What about us? Are we afraid? Real strength is not only dependent on spirit, but also requires excellent weapons, perfect defense, long-term cooperation, hard training and invincible confidence. Wait for these soldier(s) to truly Play against our family armed forces. After being defeated by us again, they will fear us from the heart, afraid of us. When the spirit is crushed by us, they will be useless, and there is nothing to fight. "

Charade drank the fruit wine in the cup with a sip: "OK, then follow this agreement."

"Wait ..." Lorist said, "Don't make the old guy Fisablen cheaper. Ask the director of Speer, I remember that we destroyed Madras Dukedom and seized a lot of broken leather armor and scrap copper weapons. All were collected by the director of Speer and thrown in the warehouse. It was moldy. You have to transport these tattered to the 40,000 captive equipment of the third frontier cruiser Legion. If the old guy of Fisablen protests, tell him the original sixty-five one A set of Cavalry 103 style standard equipment now sells a set of 50 gold fordes at a discount. If you take 2 million more, you can change them or come to me. "

Charade is happy: "Your Highness, you are too poisonous. The old guy Fisablen must vomit and vomit blood. This is just a live face, okay, just do it. Anyway, the agreement only says to equip them, But there is no stipulation what equipment we must give them ... "

Lorist sighed again: "I don't want to do this. Once this happened, I was afraid that Second Highness would publicize us in the back and hurt us, and Fisablen Family would hate us. But I'm sorry, I can't watch Fisablen Family with my eyes open. Restore strength and strength. Compared to Second Highness, Fisablen Family is our biggest threat. "

Charade no longer smiles, and he sighs after a while: "His Highness, are you angry about Count Felim and Shaheen Count? They are allies of our family, but now they are dragging our hind legs, maybe we should consider We will dissolve the alliance with them. In fact, many people in the family think that if there is no Northern Land four alliances, maybe our Norton Family power will expand faster and more widely ... "

Lorist finally stood up, walked to the window, leaned against the window, and looked at the street houses under the twilight in the distance and asked, "Do you also think so? The Northern Land four alliances are a drag on our Norton Family, not a help?"

Charade shook his head: "Although I don't think so, I also feel that Your Highness seems too valued for the alliance with the three allies. In fact, even if the three allies are united, they can't resist the front of our family. Since Since the Raiders Madras Dukedom and Iberia Kingdom, some people in the family have always thought that His Royal Highness took care of the three allies too much. Like Kenmays Family, which monopolized a province, we also allowed him to establish a maritime merchant fleet, giving the proceeds of the North Sea trade to a share Them.

With Count Felim, we not only sent troops to help him return to the family Territory, but also contributed money to help him stabilize the situation, and even sacrificed and lost tens of thousands of loyal family members armed forces for them to go to war with the Felim family. Many families Knight(s) and officials think that our strategy Iberia Kingdom is actually a big loss, which makes the Felim family take a big advantage.

There is also Shaheen Count. He was originally a Golden Knight under the former Northern Land Grand Duke(s) Loggins Duke(s). If it were not for the support of our family, he would not be one of the four families of Northern Land. How can he be eligible to compare with our Norton Family?

Although I do not support these claims, I also think that Your Highness does take care of those three allies. But I think that His Royal Highness must have a reason and a deep meaning for this, but our vision is not as far as that of His Highness. "

Lorist "Puchi" has a vocal sound: "Okay, don't make a badass, just a decent point to shoot, but I don't think you have any talent for making a badass."

"Perhaps you don't believe it. I didn't have any thoughts on the original proposal to form the four alliances. I just wanted to find a way out for the goods and products newly produced in the family Territory. Compared to the Northern Land four alliances, I value the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce more, hoping to sell the family's goods to other provinces through Chamber of Commerce. As for the Northern Land four alliances, the original meaning was only to shock the three. "Lorist lowered his head while plating steps. Say.

"Stressed?" Charade was surprised. Lorist had never been revealed to anyone.

"; Yes, shocked." Lorist said: "At that time, we coincided with the three of them to dig a pit for Second Prince, and then with the cooperation of the three of them defeated Second Prince's Iberia Kingdom first Legion and tens of thousands of Aristocrat(s) coalition forces. Tight Then you madly wiped out all the Territory Aristocrat(s) of Northern Land except those three allies. The excuse was that they helped Second Prince attack us Norton Family Territory.

Think about yourself, what would happen to Northern Land if I did not propose an alliance at that time. Obviously those three will join forces against us Norton Family. Because we Norton Family armed forces swept the entire Territory Aristocrat(s) of Northern Land. For those three companies, if they don't want to repeat the mistakes of those Territory Aristocrat(s), they can only work together to deal with our strong enemy Norton Family. And if we want to use the family armed forces, although we can wipe out the three of them, the loss of our family armed forces will be great, and the Northern Land will become more turbulent, even affecting the development and construction of our family Territory. .

That's why I proposed an alliance between the four and put in place the hearts of those three allies, so that Northern Land will not be at war. Everyone will work hard to fight against the threats from Madras Dukedom and Iberia Kingdom. Earn time for our family's development plans. What I didn't expect was that the guy Kenmays managed Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce so well that he tied our four together tightly with benefits, and kept the covenant to this day. "

Lorist already has plated more than half a circle in the house, and he continued: "I did n’t pay much attention to this alliance at first, but until our family ’s Silowas Islands was attacked and led to our expedition Hanayabarta archipelago, after the slave kingdom was destroyed Only then did I find out the important role of this alliance. Without the three allies helping us to isolate the pressure from outside Northern Land, it would be impossible for us to Norton Family hide and develop in Northern Land so that the strength of the family is obtained Rapid growth.

Northern Land is too big. It is a province of Empire, but the area is as large as three Delamock Province. With our previous strength of Norton Family, even mastering the entire Northern Land will attract countless jackals. Especially Northern Land's external traffic arteries are in three directions. If we are blocked by us, Northern Land will be isolated from the territory of the former Empire. It is easy to defend and easy to attack, and uncomfortable to live alone. Even if Beihai City Bullhorn Bay has access to the outside world, a single sea route alone cannot support the sales of a large number of goods and commodities produced in our family Territory.

So even if our family armed forces is strong enough to sweep the entire Northern Land, I still maintain the Northern Land four alliances. Even if I wanted to monopolize the entire Northern Land, I used the Territory replacement method instead of tearing up the covenant and using force. Kenmays Family, speaking of it, was the first hostile hostile family with us Norton Family. Before I returned to the family Territory, they were launching an aggressive offensive against our family. At that time, Norton Family was beaten into a tortoise and could only be passively beaten.

Accordingly, I should destroy the whole Kenmays Family and frustrate it in order to eliminate the hatred of my heart? It's a pity that Duke Kenmays's father is worthy of his unique vision. He immediately avoided my soldiers and ran to the eastern part of Northern Land to gain vitality, which made me out of reach. He also sent people to sincerely acknowledge and apologize, and finally forgave them. . Then in contact, I found out that the business talent of Kenmays is the same as what you have, but you are in charge of the overall situation, and he focuses on business and interpersonal communication. It is this appreciation that makes us friends.

Among the three allies, Duke Kenmays is the one with the farthest vision. He is very clear that as long as this alliance is maintained, Kenmays Family can be smoothly transformed from commercial Aristocratic Family to traditional Aristocrat(s) Aristocratic Family. This is his spared no effort to run the business. The reason for Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. Similarly, with the expansion of the scope of our four Northern Land alliances, the influence of Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce is also increasing day by day. For Duke Kenmays, this is a good thing that has the best of both worlds.

I once heard someone say a idiom, meaning a fence with three stakes, and a guy with three gangs. Although Norton Family has been passed down for two or three hundred years, it is still a small Aristocrat(s) on the side of Northern Land, which is incomparable to those long-established strong Great Aristocrat(s) Aristocratic Family on the mainland. Before the former Krissen Empire, Norton Family was known for its loyalty, so we will stick to the orthodox heritage Andinak Royal Family of Krissen Imperial Family. This is like putting a heavy burden on our family, and it is difficult to remove it easily.

You should be very clear about the jealousy of Second Highness on our Norton Family, and our family currently has no rise in already and has reached the top of the title, unless we can establish Dukedom independently, but this is impossible and not allowed by Second Highness . If you rebel, the reputation of Norton Family for two hundred years will be ruined. This is not what I can afford. The reputation of rebellion is not good, and I don't want to be pointed at by the thousand husbands.

So now, the four Northern Land alliances have become very important. If you think about the tacit understanding of our four companies at the beginning, Second Highness suffered a big loss, but our Norton Family took a big advantage, and obtained the jurisdiction of Delamock Province and Windbury Province, turning these two provinces into the sphere of influence of our Norton Family. In the eyes of Second Highness, Northern Land is one of the four. He has no way to target any one. He can only find ways to destroy our alliance relationship first.

Without the four Northern Land alliances, Second Highness only needs to deal with one of our Norton Familys, and using rumors to slander can make our Norton Family's reputation plummet. But we have three allies, Second Highness's general moves are not good, which is why I am fortunate to have formed an alliance. Regardless of which Second Highness is targeted, it must consider whether it can withstand the counterattack ability of the other three.

The attack on the central four Dukedom was a bait, but we had to swallow it. Count Felim is trying to revive the Pegasus family's prestige. At present, the family Territory has encountered a manpower bottleneck. It is not surprising to turn to the central four Dukedom. Shaheen Count has never been good at Territory management, and it is forgiven for wanting to plunder wealth. They swallowed the bait thrown by Second Highness, then we have to accompany them for a trip, as you said to me, attacking the central four Dukedom, our family also has benefits, so the Northern Land four alliances must maintain the same external steps It is not easy to be provoked by Second Highness to form a gap.

I just didn't expect Second Highness to pull in Grand Duke Fisablen this time. The old guy who asked for the release of the soldier(s) of the Third Frontier Corps who surrendered to us made it clear that he wanted to restore strength. Count Felim and Shaheen Count Now already was embarrassed by the gains from the attack on the central four Dukedom, while Duke Kenmays did not understand the power of Grand Duke Fisablen, so they were reluctant to speak for us because they were worried that the decision to attack the central four Dukedom would make waves again. That's why I agreed to release those soldier(s)s. The only pity is that without these free labor, many of the projects we are going to carry out will be stopped. "
