Chapter 190: I'm Sorry I don't have this plan for the time being
"Yes, as far as I know, it's still a borderland. ”
Levi glanced at Tyri, who was suddenly nominated and suddenly a little nervous, and said noncommittally.
The construction of surface strongholds and new territories on the west bank of the Seblin River was the established policy of Zeellandia, and it was natural to eliminate all possible problems.
First, there is the issue of territorial sovereignty.
"Yes, it doesn't belong to our Silver Moon Federation, even in name. ”
Erasdra raised an eyebrow, but suddenly became interested, and asked, "Do you know why it's still Borderlands?"
Levi was asked.
Previously, they were limited to the difficult factor of reaching the surface, and they did not have sufficient exploration of that generation, only knowing that there was almost no danger to defend and the surrounding geopolitical relations were complicated.
He would like to hear the opinion of the Supreme Mage, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear." ”
The Supreme Mage seemed to recall something regrettable and spoke eloquently
"In fact, as early as five years ago, there was a proposal in our federal parliament to build a new territory on the Sebrin River to house the more and more displaced people in recent years.
"And we've really made an effort to do that, which is to build a stronghold first, so that we can radiate slowly westward, open up new farms and pastures, and feed more people.
"But unfortunately, we failed.
"We had a good start and set up camp, but it was too close to the Eternal Wasteland. One night, they were ambushed by the trolls.
"Without the protection of the stone walls, when the knights of Silvermoon City arrived, the advance team that had volunteered to open up had disappeared, leaving only the ruined camp.
"That's the untimely death of Nesman, the eternal regret of our Silver Moon Federation.
"In fact, we later found out that we were in some way thankful that the trolls had given us a wake-up call.
"Because just the following year, our forest patrol team in Silvermoon City found traces of another orc tribe near the hidden forest in the upper reaches of the Seburing River.
"And in the Eternal Wasteland, traces of a group of immigrants to this frost giant have recently been discovered.
"If we had really built that territory back then, I am afraid that we would have caused more losses than the looting of the northern farms because there was no danger to defend it now.
"And according to the coordinates provided to me by Silverwing, if you are going to build a territory on the west bank of the Sebrin River, then the large number of griffons entrenched in the Griffon Mountains will also become a threat to you.
"An adult griffin is strong enough to place a horse within their prey range.
"Moreover, their nests are spread over most of the Griffon Mountains, making them even more difficult to eradicate than the tribes of trolls and frost giants. ”
Hearing this, Levi didn't care, after all, those were some predictable threats, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask rhetorically
"Extermination? Why extermination? Isn't it good to concentrate on domestication?"
The reason why Levi chose it as the first development base of his territory was because he fell in love with those griffins!
In his development plan, he planned to build a large 'airport' in the Griffon Mountains.
These griffons are the future airlift of Zeellandia and the reserve of the griffin knights!
Who would dare to kill one, Levi would hang him directly on the griffin's paws and bungee jump a hundred times.
Levi's gaze at Erastro suddenly became vigilant, like a cloud dog lover beware of dog meat lovers.
"Domestication?"
Erasdra was slightly stunned, and then sneered, looking at Levi's gaze like looking at an innocent child, and said
"That's a high-level magical beast! If it was so easy to tame, the Corer Continent would have been full of griffin knights flying all over the sky, not to mention, you know how much griffons eat."
As she spoke, she suddenly couldn't speak
Because she suddenly remembered that the young and handsome 'elf' merchant in front of her was an adult silver dragon!
If taming a griffin is hard for humans and elves, but is it a big deal for a dragon?
So at the beginning, Silver Wing also made a similar suggestion to her, but she vetoed it.
Because once domesticated in a centralized manner, such a huge amount of meat is an unbearable burden for the Northland, which is already extremely scarce in food.
It's impossible to let the knights ride them to forage for food on their own during domestication, right?
I'm afraid that as soon as they fly out, the knights will directly become their snacks
But she also saw the massive amount of meat that Levi casually threw through the True Vision Spell of the Confusion Barrier
That eighty percent may still be part of the rations that this guy brings with him when he goes out
Therefore, this guy in front of him doesn't have to worry about domesticating griffins at all, because the preliminary work is basically just a matter of Longwei.
Build the griffon's nest near his dragon's nest, and those griffons are probably not much more powerful than quails
What's more, he doesn't seem to have to worry about feed at all!
At this moment, the supreme mage of the Pearl of the North felt that his mentality collapsed in an instant, and his originally bright eyes gradually lost their highlights
Looking at Levi's gaze, he was like a cloud sucking cat patient who couldn't afford a pastoral cat, and suddenly saw the envy and jealousy of the Dubai tyrant riding a cougar on the street.
But she quickly adjusted her mentality, grabbed Li Wei's hand, and said solemnly and seriously
"Then be sure to start the preparations for the construction of your territory, and if you encounter difficulties, the Silvermoon Federation will fully support you.
"We have only one request, after your griffons are domesticated, if they can be provided to us in batches on a regular basis, at the price
The Supreme Lady bit her silver teeth, took out the posture of smashing the pot and selling iron, and said, "I will definitely satisfy you"
As she said this, she seemed to hear the sound of blood dripping from her heart.
As we all know, most of the terrain in the Northland is complex, and even if the Silver Moon Federation repeatedly increases the number of forest rangers, it is still impossible to cover the entire Silver Moon Federation with the patrol range, let alone detect threats and achieve early warning at the first time every time.
This time, the attack on the Northland Farm was the result of the lack of patrol forces.
She knew it couldn't be blamed on the rangers.
In fact, those rangers have worked hard enough, and what the world doesn't know is that rangers are almost the most dangerous job in the entire Northland, and there is no one!
The reason why the Northland Farm was attacked this time was not because the rangers didn't find out.
But the discoverers were all shot by the cunning orcs in the first place!
If such a group of aerial reconnaissance and patrol forces can be in place, then such tragedies and disasters will be prevented to the greatest extent in the future.
Levi was immediately shocked when he heard this
The heart said, 'Do you have such a snake with a stick?' My own griffin knights haven't even been able to get a word out of it, so you have taken aim at it!'
However, because of the face of the person next to him, Levi was embarrassed to refuse, and gritted his teeth with a distressed smile
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say"
Erathro smiled and held out his hand to Levi and said, "Then, Lord Zeellandia, Levi Sextus, welcome you to the Silvermoon Federation and become the tenth city-state after Silvermoon City, Fort Adeba, Fort Felba, Dead Snow Town, Evolund, Garland, Mi Silver Hall, Querva, and Sandaba. ”
According to the etiquette of the Silvermoon Federation, Levi should put his hand on the back of Erastro's hand at this moment to show that his city-state has officially joined the Silvermoon Federation, and at the same time swear that his city-state will help each other with the Silvermoon Federation.
Even the Lady of Tagda and the head of the guard, Tyri, watched this scene with great interest, ready to witness the joining of the tenth city-state of the Silvermoon Federation in person.
But what they didn't expect was that Levi pursed his lips after a moment of silence
"I'm very sorry, High Mage, Lady Erastro. ”
Then he turned to the 'Lady of Tagda' and said, "And the Venerable Silver Moon Dragon Mother Vera Marandis is crowned. ”
"Thank you for your love and support, and thank you for allowing us to join us before the Northlands broke ground on our territory in Zeelandia.
"However, I have no plans to join the Silver Moon Federation for the time being. ”
"What did you say?"
Erasdra's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, as if he had heard some incredible answer, and his gaze at Levi became complicated and indescribable.
Not only Erastro, but even the Silvermoon Dragon Mother, disguised as "Lady Tagda", was a little puzzled by Levi's choice.
So he asked softly
"My child, can you tell me why you made this choice?
"If there's something you're struggling with, say it, and we can all figure it out. ”
