What a bloody battle to break the bloody fortress.

What to ten to block thousand.

What a hundred horsemen break the city.

What a thousand horses run thousands of miles.

What 3,000 horsemen break 100,000 orcs.

For them, there are countless such glorious stories, and many people can come with their mouths open, and there is no way to distinguish the true from the false.

Under the prestige, there are usually two situations, the name is difficult and the person is not empty.

The Broken Blood Ride clearly falls into the latter category.

Because they are different from ordinary people who sell their fame and reputation, they are at the border all the year round, if they don't have their own uniqueness, they would have been disabled by the Odin orcs, and they won't cooperate with you in acting.

The difference of the Broken Blood Rider is not only reflected in their size and training, but also in their spirit and gaze.

I don't know if the overall situation of the Broken Blood Castle is like this, or if the Grand Duke Cedric did it on purpose, none of the armor on the Broken Blood Rider he accompanied was brand new, and it was covered with repair marks, which would certainly affect their beauty, but it added a bad aura out of thin air.

Their armor is blood-colored, and it is said that it was not originally this color, but because the blood was soaked in a lot and could not be washed off, it became blood-colored.

As long as people with a little common sense know, this is a false rumor, and after the blood dries up, it is not blood red, but black.

This armor color makes them stand out on the battlefield and makes them easy to rally, and it also shows that they are super confident in their strength, as their prominent appearance also makes them easier targets for gathering fire.

But the lingering smell of blood on their bodies is real.

Just like a farmer who rolls in the land all the year round will have an earthy smell, and a person who has been with wood all year round will be immersed in the smell of wood, and only a person who has been soaked in the fight all year round will have such a strong smell of death.

They are like a herd of wild beasts that have jumped into the herbivorous fauna, incompatible with the peace and tranquility of the royal Valesta.

Thankfully, they are a group of Guardians, not Slayers, otherwise the entire Valesta would have been dragged into the Blood Sea Purgatory by them.

Sean didn't get to see Archduke Cedric for the first time.

There is no way, Valesta is a very seniority city.

Although he has the power of the Grand Duke, he does not have the name of the Grand Duke, and even if he has a close relationship with the regent Princess Sophielia, it still does not change the fact that he is only a baron.

Princess Regent Sophia is still in this position, so she has to abide by the rules of the game, and some high-level public banquets, Sean is not qualified to participate for the time being, at least as a baron.

This is also the reason why Sean asked the regent Princess Sophia for the hereditary count title.

To a certain extent, this identity is a ticket, even if you know that it is a false name, it is really impossible to do it.

This matter is already being operated, and so far it has not encountered any obstacles, such as the rotten bureaucracy of the Heraldic Academy, don't expect too much from his efficiency, it will drag on for a year and a half, it is too normal, but even if the Eternal Night Commander is not stingy this time, and directly takes action, he will have to go through the normal process for several months.

It's not that they are deliberately embarrassed, but they check the search to see if they can link Sean to a noble bloodline in history, so that all the obvious sayings will be correct and in line with the rules and processes!

There really isn't, and it doesn't prevent them from making one, this kind of thing, it's not the first time they've done it, and it's not the last time they've done it.

Sean wasn't worried about meeting Archduke Cedric in the slightest.

Privately, he has a close relationship with Sophielia, and the other party is her blood relative, and she may not be publicant to outsiders, but she may not necessarily hide her family.

Yu Gong, Archduke Cedric is an indirect ally, and many of the good things led by the Eternal Night Army have flowed to the Broken Blood Fortress through the hands of the Princess Regent, and the currently known ones are the Flying Eagle Messenger, the War Beast, the Blade Throwing Cart, and the Black Gunpowder.

Anyone with a bit of strategic vision can see the value contained in it, not to mention the world-famous super commander of Archduke Cedric.

Sean had expected that Grand Guild Cedric would value him, but he didn't expect to pay so much attention to him.

Princess Regent Sophia has just finished a large welcome party for Archduke Cedric, and he appears with Sophia in Sean's private estate.

After the meeting, Archduke Cedric did not say a word, and circled around Sean, observing him with a critical look of scrutiny.

Sean secretly screamed in his heart, the other party was obviously not looking at himself with the eyes of his allies, but with his niece and son-in-law.

Compared to the former, this situation will be more difficult.

Sure enough, Sophia, who was following behind Archduke Cedric, was wincing at Sean, obviously hinting at him that his grandfather already knew about the relationship between the two of them.

In the eyes of all parents, their children are unique treasures in this world, and if they want to marry or marry them, they must have the ability to match, regardless of whether their children are as good and beautiful as they imagined.

Archduke Cedric is not exempt from vulgarity.

Although the two are separated generations, when it comes to intimacy, they are even more than ordinary father and daughter, because Archduke Cedric poured all his guilt and debt to his daughter on Sophia.

However, the way Archduke Cedric loves his children is obviously a little different from that of ordinary parents, and he is more strict with his relatives, and it is this strict requirement that has shaped Sophia's character of being soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and provoked the pillar of the Lancelot royal family at a critical moment.

Sophia's performance in the past few years has made Archduke Cedric extremely satisfied, and she should be regarded as the most outstanding one in her immediate family.

The biggest regret is probably her daughter, otherwise she is definitely a qualified king of the Lancelot royal family, and with her own assistance, she will lead the Lancelot royal family and the Strachey family to a new glory.

Sophia's outstanding performance on the throne, coupled with the unwritten rules within the Lancelot royal family, has caused many people to ignore her marital problems, including her own grandfather Cedric.

When he suddenly learned that his precious granddaughter had made a private lifelong decision and was still the leader of a new force that had just risen from the mountains, he could imagine the feeling in his heart.

He admitted that before this, he was very optimistic about this little guy who started empty-handed, took advantage of countless opportunities, kept moving, and played out a piece of his own world.

He also admitted that the other side brought a series of sharp weapons of war, which made him salivate, and many of them will subvert the future pattern of war to a large extent.

But this doesn't mean that this guy has the qualifications to marry the treasure in his palm.

Fortunately, the other party is at least not as bad as the legend says.

Because the closer you get to Valesta, the more messy news about Sean reaches the ears of Archduke Cedric.

What nouveau riche?

What lucky ones?

What greedy people?

What scumbags?

These are all pretty good.

Rumors and news are flying all over the sky, such as climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, the captive face of the princess regent and the little white face.

Although Archduke Cedric did not want to believe in this nonsense, he did not think that the little Sophia he had trained himself would degenerate into this.

But if you can't stand the crowd's mouths, you will be chaotic if you care about it.

Mood can be affected to some extent.

Although from the moment I met Princess Regent Sophia, it was certain that those rumors were just rumors, but the impression of Sean in my heart had been pulled to a very low position.

Sean gave him a pretty good first look, at least the pink-faced little white-faced rumors were self-defeating.

Sean, who is nearly two meters tall and has bulging muscles, definitely can't match that word.

The whole body is neatly cleaned up, except for the slight flattening of the facial contours characteristic of the Andes, and the slight difference in skin color and hair color, the others are not much different from the Byronic nobles, at least not the fishy smell of the barbarians.

What really makes Archduke Cedric have a good impression should be the military demeanor that Sean shows between sitting and lying down, which is a manifestation of self-discipline.

If a person can be strict with himself in his life and rest, then this person's character must not be too bad.

While Archduke Cedric was evaluating Sean, Sean was also looking at the knight of the kingdom of the Byron Alliance.

The other party not only exudes an awe-inspiring atmosphere, but even his appearance is very in line with Sean's imagination of knights, tall and can easily win people's trust.

With this appearance alone, even if he does not have the name of the Grand Duke and his previous outstanding achievements, he can easily win the trust of many people in a crisis.

Compared to him, Sean's military aura is only half-baked, and that of Archduke Cedric has been integrated into his bones, and every word and deed is such a strong aura.

Quite recognizable.

He and the army he leads should be a model military man in this world.

"I've seen His Excellency the Grand Duke, it should be me going to meet you, and I really don't want to let His Excellency the Grand Duke come to the door in person. Sean took the lead in breaking the deadlock, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, dealing with such a person, if you behave too humbly, it is easy to be looked down upon by the other party.

"You're just trying to marry my niece?" Archduke Cedric ignored Sean's politeness and looked at him with blazing eyes.

The speed of the opponent's sword was faster than Sean imagined, and he went straight to the topic as soon as he got started.

Sean nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right, it's not a matter of wanting to marry, but I'm married." ”

"Haha...... What a big breath. Although Archduke Cedric was laughing, his eyes were cold, "Why are you?"

"It took me only thirteen years to unify the Andes, and lead them out of the mountains, with the 100,000 elite army in my hands, with the land area we now have, not inferior to any other military domain, and with the trade tax revenue of our Eternal Night Army in the Lancelot royal domain, it already accounts for one-third of the total tax revenue of the Lancelot royal family. As soon as Sean shook his hand, he threw out his proud exploits.

At such times, especially in the face of people like Archduke Cedric, it is not a time to hide and play with self-humility.

"That's all?" asked Archduke Cedric with a blank face.

"This is just the achievements created in the past, I am just over eighty this year, whether it is my life or my territory, it is in its infancy, I dare not guarantee whether I can continue to create brilliance and miracles in the future, but at least this is possible, isn't it? ”

"A good person is measured not by the past, but by the future. Archduke Cedric's eyes lit up, and Sean's unique argument was indeed a little different.

Sean said solemnly: "But in my opinion, these are not the most important things. ”

"Oh?" said Archduke Cedric, with a look of interest that intensified, "what do you think is the most important?"

"The most important thing is that when Her Highness comes to my side, there will be more space to give full play to her strengths, and I am willing to work with her to build our territory and create our own glory. Sean said sincerely.

I don't know if I didn't impress Archduke Cedric for the time being, at least the regent Princess Sophia on one side had already heard the beautiful eyes flashing.

For her, this is the most beautiful love story in the world.

"It's beautiful, but it's not enough. Archduke Cedric shook his head.

Sean was stunned for a moment, and said with a sincere expression: "I don't understand what His Excellency the Grand Duke means, please give me advice." ”

Archduke Cedric's opinion is also unusual, "I have also done a little research on your rise and development, not to mention the luck in it, this is also part of the strength, your rapid development is to some extent based on plunder.

In the early days, you plundered the wealth of the Manyu army with the help of the slave rebels of the Manyu army as a nourishment for your own growth.

In the middle of the year, you plundered vast wealth from Valesta through the Jacobs River to strengthen yourselves.

Now it's by eating the crocodile natives of the Swamp of Despair and the wealth squeezed from the Kingsley family as a driving force for development.

Although your methods are very clever, they still cannot change the nature of predation.

Next, who are you going to plunder to maintain your own rapid development?

When you have nothing to plunder, how can you maintain the current high speed of development?"

Sean's eyes froze, and he couldn't help but straighten his waist and re-examine the knight of the kingdom.

The other party's analysis, to a certain extent, has approached the essence of the rapid development of the Eternal Night Military Leader.

Many people are amazed at the many glories and development speeds created by the Eternal Night Warlords, but they are not clear why they have always been able to maintain their high speed.

From an economic point of view, this is what Archduke Cedric just said - plunder.

Through commerce, they plundered the wealth of the outside world and used it to enrich themselves.

This wealth is not limited to gold, silver, jewelry, but also various resources and labor.

Anyone who has economic and trade contacts with the Eternal Night Commander, to a certain extent, is working for the Eternal Night Commander.

At this point, Princess Regent Sophia did not see as thoroughly as Archduke Cedric.

Trees grow old into spirits, and people grow old into demons.

This kind of old guy who has lived long enough has too much knowledge to be measured by common sense.

Now that the surface has been dissected and the essence is directly seen, Sean is no longer hidden, and replied bluntly: "Despair swamp This time, we have already eaten and supported, in the next few years, it is estimated that there will be no expansion, at least there will be no more in the territory, and the main energy should be transferred to construction, His Excellency the Grand Duke is right, commercial plunder is one of the fundamental reasons for our rapid development in the past, but it will definitely not become the core of our future development, and our own construction and development are fundamental."

We will definitely not take the initiative to give up this means, and the focus of business and trade will still be on the Jacob River in the short term, but the focus of the future is not on this, and we have initially planned in two aspects. ”

"What two aspects?" asked not Archduke Cedric, but the regent Sophia, who was not annoyed by Archduke Cedric's revelation that the Eternal Night Warlords were plundering their territory.

Being in the game, there are some real things that she can see better than Archduke Cedric.

While it is true that the Eternal Night Lords have plundered a lot of wealth from the Lancelot royal territory, they have also brought with them a lot of good things that they did not have before, not to mention the weapons of war such as black powder and blade carts, such as waterwheels, water saws, water mills, etc., which are being brought up by the Eternal Night Army.

On top of that, the arrival of the Eternal Night Warlords revitalized the economy of the Lancelot royal domain, using a large amount of luxury goods to scavenge the wealth from the hands of those lords and nobles, some of which were taken away by the Eternal Night Warlords, and some of which were transferred by the Eternal Night Warlords to the people who worked for them.
