Duke Stirling's words were hoarse, heartbreaking, and heartbreaking, so that those who were targeted would involuntarily feel ashamed when they heard it.

However, the people here refer to ordinary people.

Was Duke Churchill an ordinary man? Obviously not.

I saw that Duke Churchill was unmoved, and in the face of a storm, he still went his own way.

Lin Yu took out a piece of paper and drew on it the spheres of influence of the four major forces of the empire.

"If you just look at the size of the power, the difference between the three archdukes and the four powers of the royal family is not big, and the territories directly under it are so much, but the royal family is the rightful manager of this country after all, although it cannot directly interfere in the affairs of the three archdukes' territories, but the three archdukes still have to pay taxes to the royal family every year, and the taxes on the surface are one-fifth of all the income in the grand duke's territory, don't look at only one-fifth, but the three archdukes add up, but the royal family receives half of the additional tax from the grand dukes every year. Coupled with the orthodox reputation and the existence of the Royal Battle Academy, the royal family can attract the most talents, so the most powerful force in the Quartet is the royal family. ”

"However, the royal family is now swept away, and there is no heir. Lin Yu made a big cross in the royal family. "Then now it's the three Grand Dukes who seem to be almost the same. ”

"The forces of the three archdukes look different, but there are subtle differences. ”

"In the north, the Grand Duke of Earls, the territory is in direct contact with the Northland, there is no comparison with the other two Grand Dukes in terms of climate resources, the land harvest is not good, and there is no special production, but because the territory is in contact with the Northern Barbarian Region, in order to deal with the annual beast tide in the Northern Barbarian Region, the armament in the territory of the Grand Duke of Earls is the most powerful, and because of the frequent battles, the combat effectiveness is also the strongest, and the cooperation is the most tacit, and the non-military cultivators there are also not the highest because they like to enter the northern wilderness area to adventure, and their cultivation is not the highest, but in the same class, the combat power is strong, and the warriors who come out there are recognized as strong。 Lin Yu nodded to the north of the simplified map. "If it is really a competition of force alone, Archduke Earls has an absolute advantage, and even in the Royal Battle Legion, a large proportion of soldiers and even generals are from the Northland. ”

The first line of Lin Yu in the northern region is written with superior army and combat power.

But, again, his disadvantages are obvious. That is, there is no way for the north to independently support his powerful combat necessities, that is, weapons, armor, clothing, etc., but everything else is not important, the most important thing is food, and the production of all kinds of food in the territory of the Grand Duke of Earls is insufficient, what does this mean?"

"Well, if you don't have enough food, you have to buy it from outside?" replied Erin.

Lin Yu nodded, "Yes, about eighty percent of the food needed in the territory of the Grand Duke of Earls needs to be purchased from the outside world, and the proportion of the purchase is about twenty percent from the territory directly under the royal family, ten percent from the hands of the Grand Duke Murphy, and then, the remaining fifty percent of the grain is purchased from the territory of the Grand Duke of Rees in the south." ”

This also shows that if the Grand Duke of Earls really wants to occupy the El Empire by force, at the beginning, the army of the Grand Duke of Earls will definitely be overwhelming, but once the battle reaches a stalemate, if other regions blockade and control the Northland, then the first to be dragged down is the Ear Duke. ”

Lin Yu wrote on the second line of the northern region, disadvantages, daily necessities, grain, and grain circles.

"Oh~~~~~" Erin and Billy nodded in agreement.

"Well, then let's analyze the next one, the next one is the Grand Duke of Rees, the territory of the Grand Duke of Rees is in the south of the empire, and the situation is completely opposite to the territory of the Grand Duke of Earls, the climate in the territory of the Grand Duke of Rees is suitable, there are many resources, and it is adjacent to the deep forest area of the central Notte, and the alien land in the south of the continent, and the commercial exchanges are also very developed, in short, it is a very rich territory. The disadvantages are also obvious, the people here live a wealthy life, they are relatively lazy, and their personalities are also very gentle, all in all, whether it is a military or a civilian cultivator, the combat effectiveness is not strong. ”

Lin Yu concluded, "In a word, it is rich and low in combat effectiveness. ”

Billy looked at the sketchy area of Lin Yu's painting, and nodded approvingly, "Well, it turns out that when I was in the dwarf village, I saw the people from the south of the El Empire, they all smiled and were very good at fighting, and we have saved many southern merchants in our village who were surrounded by thunderwolves." ”

Thunder wolf,It is a wolf-type creature on the edge of the deep forest in the middle of the country.,But although the name is wolf.,But the combat effectiveness is very low.,The body is not tall.,In addition to the most basic pounce bite.,It will only put a very weak current.,So it's called a thunder wolf.,Basically, a ten-year-old child in the giant village can deal with a thunder wolf.。

"Well, that's really not ~~good at fighting~~. Erin nodded in agreement.

"Then let's talk about the last Grand Duke, Grand Duke Murphy. Grand Duke Murphy's territory is located before the previous two Grand Dukes, and the situation inside is basically the situation after the two Grand Dukes are integrated and then averaged, the combat power is neither strong nor weak, and the resources are not too much or less, they are on average, but there is one thing that must not be ignored, which is the biggest advantage of Grand Duke Murphy. ”

"Golden Dragon ????" Lin Yu paused, originally wanted to sell a pass, but was preempted by Erin.

"Hey, Irene, I didn't expect you to know. Lin Yu felt very strange, indeed, Erin, who had always been cute and ignorant of these things, actually knew this kind of thing, how could it not make people feel curious.

"Well, I heard about it by accident. Erin waved her hand, indicating that it was not a big deal, "Lin Yu, is there really a golden dragon in Grand Duke Murphy's territory, that kind of golden dragon with scales and huge might?"

"Yes, there is!" Lin Yu nodded.

"Really?" Billy couldn't believe it, "Isn't the Golden Dragon a legendary creature, no, isn't the dragon a legendary creature, does it really exist?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm sure. Lin Yu is so sure because of the memory of the previous life, in the previous life, a major event happened five years later, that incident caused a lot of losses to the empire, and the last solution was the golden dragon, this ancient legendary beast, appeared from the territory of Grand Duke Murphy to quell the war. It was from that time that people really believed in the legend of the Golden Dragon.

"The Golden Dragon is real. Billy sighed.

"yes, I didn't expect it, and I really wanted to see what the golden dragon looked like," Erin nodded.

Lin Yu, who originally wanted to convince the two of them to believe what she said, saw this scene and silently abandoned the reasons that came to his lips.

Well, that's a good feeling, she should trust her peers.

As he spoke, Lin Yu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly added, "Oh, by the way, the Southern Reece Grand Duke also has an advantage, that is, the Stirling family of the Southern Rees Grand Duke is related to the El royal family Siyu family. ”

"Is there a blood relationship? doesn't that mean that the royal family still has blood?!! "Erin was overjoyed, "that is, the orthodox heir to the throne is not just you, and those nobles will not only chase you." ”

Erin's eyes lit up as she spoke, "Lin Yu!!, we're free." ”

"Think of beauty. Lin Yu slapped Erin's beautiful illusion and shattered, "There is a blood relationship, but this blood relationship is already far, far away, so far that it is almost negligible, this blood relationship is not enough for the Stirling family to become the heir to the throne, this relationship will only allow the Stirling family to get a little more support from the royal family than other archdukes but, no other role." ”

"Okay. Erin, whose dream was broken, was a little wilted, "However, Lin Yu, you know so many things, and you know so well the secrets of each force, Lin Yu, you tell me the truth, do you want to accept this throne." ”

"There's no thing~~~" Lin Yu disliked it, Irene's face pushed away from his face, and then rubbed her ears, the hot air from Erin's words just now made her ears itch.

"Then why are you doing everything you can to get this information? Erin didn't believe it, "I don't believe that these secret messages can be obtained by chatting with people in passing." ”

"Oh, I'm really not interested in the throne, really, if I did, I wouldn't have escaped, would I? Lin Yu tried his best to show his innocence.

What Lin Yu said is definitely what he really thinks now, but Irene's analysis is not wrong, these secret news are really what Lin Yu worked so hard to find, but not in this life, but in the previous life.

In the previous life, as the third prince of the royal family, Xius had an inevitable ambition for the throne, and this ambition was usually well hidden in the outside world, but in the previous life, Lin Yu, who had almost all his thoughts on Xiusi, was still aware of this ambition.

What the beloved does is right, and what Lin Yu in the previous life can do is only to improve his own qualities, so that he can be worthy of his beloved.

In other words, these secrets were prepared by Lin Yu in the previous life for himself to sit as the queen of the El Empire, as for this life, hehe, Xiusi is already dead, and the queen is hairy.

But the secrets that are already known are not fake, but the inside story cannot be told to Billy and Erin.

"I really don't want the throne, really!" Lin Yu tried to keep his eyes open so that Erin and Billy could see the sincerity in their eyes.

"Okay. Erin was still a little skeptical, "However, Lin Yu, you must not force yourself, if you really like it, you can go and sit down, don't worry about me, in comparison, although Grandpa Ryan passed the throne to me before he died, but I really don't want it, rather than cheapening others, it is still very good to cheapen your own people." ”

"I don't want to be the king, I want to be the strongest person in the world. Lin Yu emphasized, "This is the strongest, which refers to force." ”

"Okay, okay, then the topic will pass. ”

"Ahem, well, in the end, these three Grand Dukes have their own advantages and disadvantages, so how do we choose. Lin Yu concluded, and after speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the other two people.

"How to choose?" At this time, Erin and Billy had a tacit understanding.

"I ask you two!!"

"Ask us," Erin bit her lip, "let's choose?" but we don't know anything. ”

"Didn't I just analyze it for you?" she just said a lot of words, but it was for nothing.

"You said it, but you didn't say it. Erin replied with a reasonable attitude, "You just analyzed the three archdukes, and then the three archdukes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and none of them stand out at all, since this is the case, it is equivalent to not saying it, right, Billy." ”

"Yes. Billy nodded heavily.

“。。。 ”

"Then you can pick any one. Lin Yu could only express helplessness in the end.

"No, I don't know the situation, so I don't make decisions on my own, just listen to other people's advice. Erin replied with awe-inspiring righteousness, "That's what smart people do." ”

It's smart and sensible, but it's hard for me to answer, and it's really hard to show myself.

Fortunately, Billy seems to see Lin Yu's predicament.

"Lin Yu, did you find anything?"

"Ahem, yes. "Give Billy a grateful look," I actually found a question after analyzing the three archdukes. ”

"What questions do you ask? The three Grand Dukes have their own advantages and disadvantages, almost no equal, but with the addition of the royal family. ”

"Royalty, didn't you just say that the royal family is the most powerful?"

"Yes, I said, but I also said just now, this strength is strong in the taxes and talents collected from the three grand dukes, but, if the three grand dukes no longer pay taxes, and, talents, talents seem to be more than the royal family, but the population in the territory directly under the royal family is not large, and most of the talents are born in the territory of the three grand dukes, and now it seems to be working for the royal family, that is because the royal family is the most orthodox and the best treatment, but ~~"

Lin Yu paused.

"But if there is a war and the three Grand Dukes find what seems to be a legitimate reason to go to war, then it remains to be seen where those who are working for the royal family will stay. ”

"So, my question now is that there are so many benefits to becoming a royal family, the orthodox status, the excellent living conditions, the respected status, and the cultivation resources that are second to none. With such a big benefit, and under the premise of having an advantage in power, for so many years, why didn't the three grand dukes overthrow the Xiyou family and become the king themselves?"

"There must be some reason for this!!"
