Chapter 400: Post-War Placement (Supplement 4/4, for the helmsman not to let the English name be added)
Therefore, this 100,000-strong army, the Eternal Night Army Leader is ready to transport it in five times and in two months.
Grand Duke Buck did not express any dissatisfaction with this, because even this was faster than their army could run through the Swamp of Despair, and most importantly, it did not delay their use.
Among the jackals that the Kingsley family dealt with this time, there was no existence worthy of their use of more than 20,000 troops.
Otherwise they would not be called jackals, but lions and tigers.
Those lords and nobles who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob were unlucky, not only had to spit out the flesh torn from the Kingsley family, but also had to hemorrhage profusely, and use money to appease the anger of the Kingsley family, and many families went bankrupt because of this.
The Lancelot royal family, led by Princess Sophia, turned a blind eye to this, and for them, this was also a rare opportunity - an opportunity for a great reshuffle.
The family that wants to protect, they have already greeted Archduke Buck, and the Kingsley family will take it lightly and make a gesture.
Those guys that the Lancelot royal family doesn't want to protect are the focus of the Kingsley family, such as the Adolf family.
These military families, which rose in the weakest period of the Lancelot royal family, have become a major cancer on the Lancelot royal family.
The Lancelot royal family had no reason to touch them before, and now that they had provoked the enemy by their own death, it was none of their business.
If they are scared and beg to go to the princess regent, it will be a more pleasant thing to see, just wait to be pinched and rounded.
From the very beginning of the Byronic League, internal war has been a virtue.
Force goes hand in hand with politics.
In many cases, force is only auxiliary, and politics is the main thing.
If politics cannot be fought, even if there is great hatred between the two sides, then it will have to be silenced.
If politics can be fought, even if it is a big contradiction, it may lead to the demise of a family.
Now the Kingsley family has become a spear in the hands of Princess Regent Sophia, and he has to hit it wherever it goes, and he will do it willingly.
The Kingsley family is using this method to prepare the first war ransom to the Eternal Night Lords.
Fifteen million royal gold coins is not a small number, even at its peak, it is not easy to come up with such a huge amount of money, not to mention that the Kingsley family's current finances themselves are in deficit.
The Eternal Night Warlord allowed the Kingsley family to trade in various materials, but this discount was only made at about 10% below the market price, and Grand Duke Buck was unwilling to do so unless necessary.
From top to bottom, the Eternal Night Leader was in a state of unprecedented busyness.
The Kingsley family's 100,000-strong army needs them to be transported.
The mining slaves who were intercepted by the Kingsley family's Eastern Army need to be co-opted and pacified, and these people will be screened and disposed of.
A way to deal with being alone and without any concern.
There is also a family in the Carthusian army, which is another way to deal with it.
Either way, it will take time, and until then, they will be temporarily stranded in Brother Harbor to assist in the rebuilding of the Eternal Night Commanders.
The battlefield outside Brother Harbor needs to be cleaned, especially those relatively intact bone armor, which are all collected.
There was a reply from the arsenal that these bone armors had a very high magic transformation value.
Now the Eternal Night Army Leader is from top to bottom, and he is excited when he hears about the Demon Change, which means that in the near future, they will have good things to use again.
Speaking of the undead soldiers of the Klein tribe, it is sad enough, there are thousands of skeleton armored knights in the army dispatched this time, and some of them have no chance to exert their power at all, so they were smashed by countless siege engines on the way to charge, and the rest finally jumped on the city, and they were also targeted by the big knights of the Kingsley family.
The biggest advantage of the Kingsley family over the Eternal Night Army Leader is the number of high-end forces at the level of the Great Knights, which is not much more than the undead army of the Crane Tribe, and the one that makes the Eternal Night Army Leader feel the most troublesome has become unwavering in their hands and can be easily solved.
As for the Klein tribe, after the outstretched minions were broken, they fell into silence again.
It's not that the Eternal Night Commander doesn't want to get it all at once, but he really lacks skills, and if he doesn't do his best, he won't be at ease.
The only way to stay on is to stay on lockdown and wait until the other emergencies have been dealt with, and then come back to dealing with it.
Fortunately, the Eternal Night Leader has seized the loophole in the Crane tribe's reaction every time, and has eliminated their seventy or eighty thousand undead soldiers before and after.
Even if all the undead of the Crane tribe were left, plus those who did not attract the attention of the Eternal Night Army Leader, the number would not exceed 200,000, and now nearly half of them have been wiped out, and they will not be able to toss the waves in a short time.
Moreover, the new force plan of the Eternal Night Army Leader is the priority deployment around the Crane tribe, the crocodile people here have been evacuated, and the Crane tribe wants to expand, either organize people to attack the brother port, or they can only survive on their own, provided that they still retain the function of breeding.
Another benefit of the existence of the Klein Tribe is that it provides an excuse for the Eternal Night Lord's new power plan to reduce resistance from within the Crocodile.
Having a common enemy is conducive to the unity within the Eternal Night Leader, and now that the Kingsley family, a common enemy, has been temporarily lifted, the Crane tribe has become a ready-made next, and before this threat is cleared, the crocodile clan will not act easily.
No single force can satisfy everyone's needs, and the Eternal Night Warlords are no exception.
Like them, it is already good to be able to take care of the needs of the majority of people, like the lord and aristocratic rule model of the Byron Alliance, which only meets the needs of a small part of the elite, and the people at the bottom are barely alive at best, and no one pays attention to other needs at all.
And people's needs are different.
For those crocodile people who are struggling on the poverty line, they are satisfied with food and clothing, surplus food at home, and grass on their heads.
When these people arrived at the Eternal Night Commander, it was not just as simple as satisfying their needs, what the Eternal Night Commander gave them was even beyond their imagination, unless they were born greedy, they would be satisfied for a short time and live their own small lives in peace.
This kind of person is also the main part of the Eternal Night Commander's favorite and fights.
The other kind of people had a little power among the crocodile people at the beginning, and their lives were a little better.
When they arrived at the side of the Eternal Night Military Leader, if their ability was not particularly outstanding, eighty percent would have to start from scratch, and the days of the Eternal Night Military Leader would be basically the same as the original, or even slightly inferior, after all, without the awe and service of the villagers at the beginning, the speed of adaptation was far less than the former.
If you can adjust your mentality, you will work hard, use your own ability, and get back what belongs to you, and the Eternal Night Army Leader will not only not fight against them, but even encourage them, no matter how many people in the territory are not enough, I am afraid that there is none.
If there is no way to adjust one's mentality, one will have a grudge against the leader of the Eternal Night, which will accumulate more and more over time, and once an outsider inspires you, it will be easy to embark on a path of no return.
The last one, this is represented by the Council of Elders, the former ruling class of the Crocodile people, they are the most lost group of people, their former rights have been removed, although they still have the name of a clan elder, and their lives are still passable, and the Eternal Night Commander will not lose them in this regard.
But the power that used to be is gone, and it is easy to lose the psychological balance, and it is not easy to adjust.
Sean and the others knew this, but in order to appease the hearts of the crocodile people, they could only passively guard against it and wait for them to take the initiative to show their heads.
At that time, don't blame the Eternal Night Army's butcher's knife for being too sharp.
Another large-scale military mission of the Eternal Night Army is to take over the frontier cities along the border of the Swamp of Despair, prepare to strike while the iron is hot, and determine the border between the two sides with the Kingsley family.
This kind of thing, even if it is done now, maybe there will be a moth incident in the future, if it is not clarified now, it will be even more difficult to figure out when the Kingsley family recovers.
Just look at the current situation of the Kingsley family, they are now dealing with the legacy of the past.
It's undoubtedly a big job.
The border between the Swamp of Despair and the Carthusian army was two hundred and thirty kilometers long, with eight larger cities, twelve castles and towns of the lesser, and thirty or forty small villages and settlements.
Sean clearly felt that his own forces were a little stretched.
But it's normal to think about it.
This time, the Eternal Night Army Leader is typically holding on.
The Swamp of Despair is more than the Andes Crater, but it does not have the geographical advantage of the latter.
The border with the Kingsley family alone involves more troops than the Eternal Night Army needs to defend the four sides of Andes Crater.
The newly formed Dawn Group Army is still in its infancy, and if you want them to come in handy, don't think about it without three or two years.
The Eternal Night Commander had to draw a large number of militia guards from his territory to assist in this effort.
The formation of local garrison corps is imminent.
Fortunately, the Kingsley family's main energy is not on this side now, and there will not be much change here in the short term.
On this line, the Eternal Night Army Leader mainly captured two points - the city of Gechi and the city of Tatar.
The former is not only the first of the eight border cities, with the largest population and unique geographical advantages, but also has a ready-made iron-rich mine, which is the most scarce resource at the moment of the Eternal Night Army, and it is natural to use it as soon as possible to help its own development.
The latter is located on the key road between the Huayu Plateau and the Swamp of Despair, which is related to the second trade route opened up by the Eternal Night Military Leader, so naturally it cannot be messed up.
Just when the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Kingsley family were entangled in negotiations, the first transaction between the grain merchants of the Flower Language Plateau and the Eternal Night Army Leader had been completed, and the grain merchants of the Flower Language Plateau, led by Copperfield, had already transported the goods of the Eternal Night Army Leader back to the Flower Language Plateau.
The goods of the Eternal Night Army Leader have caused a better response in the Flower Language Plateau than expected.
Many caravans didn't go far at all, and the goods they brought were sold out.
In Ashan, in terms of wealth, the plains of Asia Minor are the first to be recommended, but in terms of stability and wealth, it is the Huayu Plateau.
The unique terrain allows them to avoid the harassment of war, regardless of whether they live or die outside, this is a song and dance of life.
This unique environment has led to a very slow pace of life and hedonism.
There is a huge market for all kinds of luxury goods here, especially for elegant luxury goods such as books and ceramics.
Because it is also the home of the Warlock Alliance, the third largest international organization.
Compared to the Witches' Secret Society, this alliance of warlocks established at the same time, warlocks are only a part of them, and as time goes by, their proportion is getting smaller and smaller, and a larger part is ordinary people, ordinary people with knowledge.
The Warlock League is now increasingly skewed towards a purely academic organization.
They claim to be the custodians and inheritors of knowledge, and they advocate using wisdom to change the world.
Don't look at the Warlock Alliance now in a quiet corner, I rarely hear any of their actions, in fact, their influence is not under the Holy See and the Witches' secret meeting.
Their scholars are all over the world, and in the case of Grand Duke Barker, he has a team of scholars and thinkers headed by Scholar Channing.
It's this team that fights against the Eternal Night Leader.
It is worth mentioning that the ethics of the bachelor from the Warlock Alliance are also famous in the world.
During their allegiance to a certain lord, they are loyal, and they will never do anything that is duplicitous, taking the interests of this lord for greater benefits of another lord, and even if it happens, most of them are not for their own interests, but for the interests of the lords to whom they are loyal.
Otherwise, once the matter is exposed, regardless of whether there is a bitter master or not, the Warlock Alliance will send a special review team to investigate this matter, and once it is found that there is a problem with the ethics of this university scholar, there is basically no room for maneuver, and he will be hanged directly on the spot.
Because only by doing this can you gain the trust of those lords and rest assured that you can hire the great masters of the Warlock Alliance.
The Warlock Alliance's many favorable terms for lords have become the foundation for university scholars to succeed in the world.
After so many years of operation, they have become sacred beings in the minds of all intellectuals, just as the followers of the Holy See of St. Aether always want to make a pilgrimage to St. Eden.
The dream of those scholars is to study in the City of Knowledge.
Unfortunately, due to traffic constraints, many people will not be able to achieve this goal in their lifetime.
Can you imagine, what a huge potential impact this is?
However, the Warlock Alliance never used this influence, and only devoted itself to studying their knowledge.
The books brought by grain merchants on the Huayu Plateau in trucks can be imagined here.
Sir Copperfield was even summoned by the Council of Seven of the Warlock League.
This made Sir Copperfield very excited, and the excitement was far greater than meeting the Eternal Night Leader and the Kingsley supreme ruler.
Because in Sir Copperfield's mind, no matter how noble the other party's status is, the relationship between them is nothing more than a buyer and seller, purely for profit.
The Warlock League was his faith, and yes, he was not only a knight and a merchant, but also a maest, having studied at the top of the firmament, known as the City of Learning.
It's a pity that his ability in this area is limited, and he didn't become the bachelor of his dreams, and after his father died, he returned to his hometown to inherit the crumbling family.
Now he could be summoned by the Council of Seven, which was something he had dreamed of before.
The Warlock Alliance is somewhat similar to the Night's Warlords, who value the wisdom of the crowd and adopt an inefficient but very stable parliamentary system.
The Council of Seven of the Warlock Alliance is not the same thing as the Council of Elders of the Crocodile.
The Crocodile Council of Elders is a typical one who has power first and then becomes an Elder, which has caused them to be mixed, from outstanding elders like Webb and Nitya, to unreliable elders like Crane who are simple-minded and do crazy things, and those who are dedicated to dragging their feet.
The seven-member council of the Warlock Alliance has a strict promotion system, and if you want to become one, you must have knowledge and wisdom beyond ordinary people.
Sir Copperfit bathed and changed his clothes in advance, found his carefully treasured white academic gown, and set foot on the famous Tower of Observation with endless reverence.
"I've met all the scholars. Sir Copperfield glanced at him in a hurry, and was astonished.
He originally thought that he would only be summoned by a certain council of seven councillors, but he did not expect that there would be as many as five councillors present today, led by Abner Hebber, the speaker of the council.
This kind old man is a figure of the same period as His Majesty the current Pope of the Holy See, His Majesty Delt, and is slightly younger but also limited.
However, compared with the dazzling life experience of Pope Dert, Abner was decent in the first half of his life, and was not the most dazzling of his peers, having been a member of parliament for nearly half a century, until he was 100 years old, he sat in the position of president of parliament.
Therefore, he always smiled and said that he was able to stand where he is now, because he can live better than others.
