Chapter 397: The True Colors of a Merchant

Many decisions have always been made by Grand Duke Buck, but the Grand Duke cannot be replaced, and when the time comes, he can only wronged Akmaiser, the front-line commander.

What puzzled the Eternal Night Army Leader from top to bottom was that Akmesser knew this, but he was still conscientious, meticulously giving advice to the Kingsley family and Grand Duke Buck, and had no intention of planning for himself at all.

Is there really such a selfless person in this world?

This is clear only to Akmaiser himself.

Grand Duke Buck was indeed on his way to Brother Port.

Not only on the way to Brother Port, but also on the boat of the Eternal Night Army, along the Jacob River, accompanied by Sean and Princess Regent along the way.

Archduke Buck's decision to go to Brother Port at this time was also due to many considerations.

Although the two sides have now signed a treaty, he is afraid of the Eternal Night Army, and he always feels uneasy, so he decides to go to Brother Port in person.

When the time comes, the Eternal Night Army will lead them to pit them, and they will always have to be a little measured.

Killing a Lordship of the Byron League in wartime and non-wartime is a very different matter.

Why did the Eternal Night Commander dare not reuse Dicklon, a battle-hardened super commander?

What is not qualified, these are all excuses for self-deception.

In the final analysis, it was because he was carrying a murder case about the Grand Duke of the Byron Alliance, although he was only implicated, but the trouble caused by activating him was still quite large.

Now that they were only taken in, Philip and Patlem protested to the Eternal Night Commander three times and twice, trying to force the Eternal Night Commander to hand over Dicklon, the war criminal who plagued the Manyu Army, to them for disposal.

It's just that they have too few means to pose a threat to the Eternal Night Leader, and Sean doesn't want to kill them at all.

But Sean is now nominally loyal to the princess regent after all, and is actively moving closer to the Byron Alliance, of course, to pay attention to the impact of this aspect.

But gold shines everywhere.

A capable person like Dicron will not be buried anywhere, let alone a new force like the Eternal Night Commander, which is particularly respectful of strength.

Although Dicron does not have real power on the surface, his influence has always been there.

The Eternal Night Army's largest battle in history, the Swamp of Despair Defense Counterattack, was nominally commanded by Sean, but in fact, many orders were given by Dicklon.

After the head-on clash in the Desperate Swamp Defense Counterattack ended and was transferred to the Politburo, Dicron disappeared again, not by the Eternal Night Army, but was sent to another battlefield - the Andes Mountains East Mountain, to assist the Eternal Night Army's allies, the mountain Kentana Barbarians, to stabilize the situation.

Judging from the news that came back earlier, Dicron is now mixing well, and it only took a few months to win the respect of the Cliff Clan from top to bottom, which Ben Hebrew has not done in a year.

Ben Hebrew was indeed more politically savvy and more skilled in workarounds than Dicron.

But the more such a person, the less likely it is to win the trust of the barbarian race of the mountain Kentana barbarians, on the contrary, Dicron is a true temperament who treats me with sincerity, and I return it tenfold, it is easier to win their favor.

Dicron had now begun to wield his power, sweeping across the eastern Andes Mountains, trying to unite all his forces under one banner and then fight the Kentana barbarians.

Gossip and get down to business.

Another purpose of Grand Duke Buck is to take the Golden Armor to Brother Port.

Compared to the peak, the energy of the golden armor is not one in ten, but at the critical moment, after all, it can play an exciting role.

Against an enemy like the undead soldiers of the Crane Tribe, personal combat effectiveness is only one aspect, and the most important thing is morale.

The reason why Archduke Buck dared to get on the ship of the Eternal Night Army and take the line of the Jacob River was because the regent Princess Sophilia was also on the boat and accompanied her as a guarantor.

Otherwise, Archduke Buck would really have to weigh whether to get on the ship.

As for Princess Regent's entourage, it is out of the importance of the undead mutation of the Crane tribe.

As a ruler, what I don't like the most is this kind of uncontrollable thing, but this kind of thing is not something that can be controlled by personal will, if there is an opportunity to learn from experience, of course, you must fully grasp it.

Originally, Prince Laurie was going to join in the fun, but he was vetoed by the princess regent because there was no one in the royal capital.

Although Sophia has decided to delegate power and go all out to cultivate Prince Laurie, it doesn't mean that she will let go immediately, depending on his temperament, then doing it will only harm him, and she still knows this truth.

After entering the area controlled by the Eternal Night Warlord, the bustling scene on both sides of the Jacob River made Grand Duke Buck's eyes widen.

There is not the slightest breath of barbarian people here, and that kind of stability and abundance can probably only be seen in the most prosperous and prosperous areas of the plains of Asia Minor.

If they are called barbarians, what is the territory under his rule?

The Kingsley family is indeed known for their wealth, but it was only after sucking the blood of the entire military leader that they were raised, not to mention the miners who squatted in the dark mine all day long.

Even the low-level leaders have a very difficult life, and most of the hard work for a year will be exploited by the Kingsley family, who control the food channel.

The Lancelot royal family used the Grain Card for the necks of the Kingsley family, and the Kingsley family used the grain card for the necks of the people of their own territory.

The Lancelot royal family sells high-priced grain to the Kingsley family, and the Kingsley family sells black-hearted grain to their own people.

The ordinary people of the Eternal Night Army are all rich, but what does the ruler of this territory have to be rich?

A desperate swamp battle has wiped out years of accumulation of the Kingsley family, and the entire military leader now has to tighten his belt.

Their opponent's territory is unfazed and unaware, how on earth did they do this?

It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening.

If he had seen this scene in front of him, would he still choose to go to war with the Eternal Night Leader?

Grand Duke Buck couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

This time he hesitated, and it was difficult to give an answer for a while.

Although his heart was turbulent, Grand Duke Buck's face was breezy and calm.

On the contrary, the regent Princess Sophia was taken aback, and asked Sean repeatedly, "How did you do this?"

Compared to Archduke Buck, Sophia has a different feeling.

She had been here before the Jacob River re-flowed, and she knew what it was like, but in just a few years, it had changed so much that she almost suspected that she was in the wrong place.

What was once farmland has been turned into a river, mountains into terraced fields, and an endless inland lake on the ground has become a huge basin with countless villages and towns embedded in it.

The whole style of painting has undergone a 180-degree change.

It's just that this picture scroll is too big, it is a territory that stretches five or six hundred kilometers long, and as a ruler, she knows very well how difficult it is.

"This is not the work of one person, but the result of the unity of millions of soldiers and civilians led by the entire Eternal Night Army. Sean looked humble.

The surprise on Princess Regent's face that could not be concealed and the abnormal fluctuations in Grand Duke Barker's eyes were the best praise for Sean, and the sweet taste in her heart was needless to mention, as if she had been soaked in a honey pot.

After all, this is the brilliance created by the forces he has single-handedly created.

At the moment, this glory is not the peak, but the beginning, once the trouble of Brother Port is solved, the unbound Eternal Night Commander will run wild at a speed beyond their reach.

"What's it called?" asked the princess regent, pointing to the huge waterwheels beside the terraces.

"It's an automatic irrigation system of waterwheels, and once it's built, it can turn the land on both sides of a mountain range into fertile land, and you're only looking at part of it, and there's a pipeline on the top of the mountain, and it's going down the mountain beams to get them to the most scarce places. "Sean didn't hide it because he was guarding Grand Duke Buck.

There is basically nothing to keep secret about what the Eternal Night Army leads on both sides of the Jacob River.

At the place of construction, the Eternal Night Commander planned everything, and all the more sensitive industries and manufacturing plants such as arsenals and shipyards were deeper in the mountains.

There are two main reasons for this.

First, for the sake of strategic depth, it is convenient to be placed on the Jacob River, but once the Twin Cities or the Reaper Waterway are lost, they are very vulnerable to fatal blows, and they are not as deep as they were buried in the first place.

The second is that the eternal night military leader can block the Jacob River and the Danube River for a while, but it can't be blocked for a lifetime, with the rapid development of the military leader, the economic exchanges with the outside world are getting closer and closer, and the water route from the Jacob River to the Danube River is opened, which is a matter of time and time.

Instead of time-consuming and laborious relocation, it is better to plan and layout at the beginning to save manpower and material resources.

As soon as Sean finished introducing Sophia on the front foot, he sold to Grand Duke Buck on the back foot, "Your Excellency's territory is also mostly connected with vertical and horizontal hills, which is also suitable for building this kind of irrigation system, and cultivating those mountains into fertile fields, if the Grand Duke needs it in the future, you can contact us, and we will undertake the construction task at the best price." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness, I will seriously consider this proposal. Grand Duke Buck replied perfunctorily.

For Sean's businessman nature, at this moment, Grand Duke Buck has a deeper understanding, and anything that comes to this guy's mouth can be turned into a deal.

But I have to admit that this waterwheel automatic irrigation system of the Eternal Night Army Leader is indeed quite creative, which can turn the mountains into fertile fields, and the Carthusian Army Leader really needs such a tool.

But he had seen it now, it was nothing more than a combination of countless waterwheels, and there were craftsmen in his own territory who would build them, so why did he have to send money to the leaders of the Eternal Night?

According to the greedy nature of the other party, the best price in Sean's mouth is also a mouthful of blood from the Kingsley family.

"I await the good news from His Excellency. Sean smiled, not holding on.

Archduke Buck's mind could not be concealed from him.

It's just that there is an idiom in this world called "Eyes are high, and the master is low".

The automatic irrigation system of the waterwheels of the Eternal Night Army Commander looks like a bunch of waterwheels lined up and finished.

But when they actually start construction, they will find that things are not so simple.

It involves geographical planning, geology, hydraulics, and so on.

If the planning is not good, and after the hard work is completed, the result is that within a few days, a large-scale landslide will be triggered, and then it will be back to the pre-liberation period overnight.

The Eternal Night Army Leader also suffered a lot from this at the beginning, not only wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, but even having a lot of safety accidents, and the person in charge of this project was almost thrown to the end.

When Grand Duke Buck found out that the manpower and material resources required to build it were far higher than the cost of hiring a Commander of the Eternal Night, he knew what to do.

"What's that?" asked Sophia, pointing to the huge building that was coming at her.

It was the grandest, most solemn single building she'd ever seen since she entered the territory of the Eternal Night, and the entire mountain had been transformed into a part of it.

The most unique thing is that the mountain is in a carved state, and although only a vague outline appears, it is certain that the ultimate goal of the mountain should be to be transformed into a humanoid statue.

In the humanoid statue of the Eternal Night Army, who is modeled on, there is no need to say much, except for his one-handed founder, who has this qualification?

"That's the Hall of Heroic Souls, where the bones of soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the Eternal Night Army are placed. Sean replied with a solemn expression.

Sophia's expression couldn't help but become serious, and she sincerely appreciated: "Heroic Soul Palace, good name, good place, it is no coincidence that you can come to this day." ”

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

This principle is universal.

The people's livelihood, economy, military, and sacrificial ...... of the Eternal Night Army Leader It can be said that everything has been erected, how can such a force not rise?

In addition to appreciation, Sophia also had an unconcealed excitement in her heart.

Don't forget, her relationship with Sean has changed drastically, and there is a good chance that she will be able to become the mistress of this territory.

Big enough for her to nod.

That's right, there are indeed many obstacles between her and Sean.

If she announces the relationship between the two now, there will be countless clowns jumping out of the beam and jumping up and down to attack her.

But this kind of attack is nothing more than profit.

If she gives up her status as a regent princess and the corresponding fief, all opposition will not only die down, but it is even likely to take a 180-degree turn.

According to the current development momentum of the Eternal Night Commander, as long as the side of the Swamp of Despair is stabilized and there is a stable food output, the dependence on her fiefdom will become smaller and smaller at that time.

Most importantly, the Eternal Night Warlord is a new force, there is neither the Holy Aether Holy See, nor the entrenched aristocratic forces, and the policies implemented are brand new policies that are even more advanced than their original new policies.

Once you become the mistress of this territory, won't all this be your own?

Why didn't you think of this before?

If she had thought about it earlier, according to her temperament, she would never have waited for Sean to see her true heart, she would have taken the initiative a long time ago.

A strong woman like her has very little chance of marrying love.

If Sean didn't have the support of the Eternal Night Army Leader behind him, he was just an ordinary baron, he would really become the farmer's son in a wishful thinking story, and the idea of marrying a princess was an out-and-out joke.

Just like Sophia's question, when there is no chance for the two parties to get close, where is the mutual attraction?

Of course, this is only the last choice, since there is a slight possibility, Sophia will not give up her territory easily, if she does, doesn't it mean that she admits that she has lost?

Not only does she not let go easily, but on the contrary, she can do something with it.

Sean's face was inexplicable, because he obviously felt that there was a subtle change in the depths of Sophia's eyes looking at him, which was the spring in the depths of love, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, I was afraid that it would have aroused the thunder and fire, and it would be out of control.

He didn't know that Sophia had so many waves in her heart, which had a further effect on the relationship between the two.

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke. Sean's modest appearance made Grand Duke Buck on the side have the urge to kick him.

Modesty is hypocrisy, and their luck is to stand on the bones of the Kingsley family.

The convenience of the Jacob River and the Danube River made Grand Duke Buck feel a lot.

Geographically, the Eternal Night Warlord does have a unique advantage.

Guard, they can rely on the Andes Basin to form a small world of their own, impregnable.

Attack, Jacob westward, Danube southward, unimpeded.

It is no wonder that the Ancient Andis Empire, which once ruled the entire continent of Ashan, put its lair here.

It's no wonder that Princess Regent Sophia is determined to side with the Eternal Night Leader, and she sees a deeper meaning in the Eternal Night Leader.

This perception made Grand Duke Buck even more melancholy.
