Don't believe the arguments that all you need to do is innate intelligence and not experience. No matter how talented www.biquge.info we are, anyone who has personally intervened in the world will admit that acquired experience has helped us achieve many goals that we cannot achieve with our innate intellect.

Compared to Llorente, the capital of Llorente Province, Mataro is much smaller, and its relatively low walls and uneven defenders give Bai Feng a deeper understanding of the situation in the southern region.

After this land once belonged to the barbarian tribes, after it was forcibly incorporated into the Celestial Dragon Empire, a large number of immigrants greatly promoted the civilization process here, but it was not possible to make this place truly a part of the civilized world overnight.

"Do you think that the other three cities in Llorente Province are the same as Llorente City?" Bai Anyun, who looked at Bai Feng thoughtfully, and walked side by side with him on horseback, sighed: "There are only five cities like Llorente City in the entire southern region. ”

"There are five provinces in the southern region, and the cities in the other provinces except for the capital are all like Matalo County Town?" Bai Feng, who originally thought that it was the lack of strength of the Bai family that caused the poor development of Matalo County Town, frankly asked the doubts in his heart.

"After all, the Empire's rule over the southern regions is still too short. Bai Anyun, who answered the question, said with dissatisfaction: "Coupled with the fact that the empire has no plans to vigorously develop the southern territory at all, how can the cities in the southern region prosper?"

"Since the empire does not plan to vigorously develop the southern region, why did the empire spend countless manpower, material and financial resources to fight a bloody war with the barbarians and take this land from the barbarians?"

"The war between the empire and the barbarians did not revolve around the southern region, it was a war that lasted for hundreds of years, and as early as the early days of the empire, the southern part of the empire, where the border was connected to the wild land, was often invaded by barbarian tribes.

The barbarian and backward barbarians regard plundering the towns on the border of the empire as a new means of survival, and in the face of the provocation of the barbarian tribes, the empire, which has always been threatened by the military threat of the Eastern Orc Empire and the northern steppe tribes, has no choice but to endure helplessly.

Until the Sunset Fortress was built two hundred years ago, it took more than a hundred years and countless gold coins to build the Sunset Fortress, which completely blocked the only way for orcs to invade the empire, and from then on, the empire only needed tens of thousands of troops to block the crazy attack of hundreds of thousands of orcs.

Even though the Orc Empire sometimes increased the number of attacking troops to hundreds of thousands, the Empire would only need a maximum of one-third of its forces to hold Sunset Fortress, and more than 200,000 of the Empire's elite soldiers could be drawn.

In the following hundred years, the empire with sufficient troops officially launched a counterattack against the steppe tribes in the north, and the Mongolian tribes that had unified the steppe tribes in the past were annihilated by the empire.

After assessing the empires on the eastern frontier and the northern frontier successively, and finally freeing up their hands to start waging war against the barbarians in the south; the fierce and fearless barbarian warriors are indeed extremely powerful in individual combat effectiveness, but the gap between them in weapons and equipment is really too great!

The well-equipped Imperial Army not only has all kinds of powerful war weapons, but also powerful magic weapons, and with the assistance of a large number of magicians, all the barbarian tribes that entered the territory of the Empire have been slaughtered!"

"The military strength of the empire is so strong, why not directly occupy the entire eastern region and completely solve the barbarian problem?" Bai Anyun's eloquent talk made Bai Feng feel puzzled, he didn't understand why the empire didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely solve the threat of the barbarians.

"From the war with the Orc Empire, to the war with the steppe tribes, to the war with the barbarian tribes, hundreds of years of war have consumed all the national strength that the empire has saved, especially when launching a war against the barbarians, the empire can't even pay its military salaries.

Those weapons of war and magic weapons, as well as all kinds of sophisticated weapons and equipment, were all piled up with gold coins, and the war that cost so much has become the heaviest burden of the empire, and if it continues to fight, I am afraid that the soldiers of the empire will not even have a pension for the dead.

In fact, if it had not been for a compromise between the Empire and the Holy See, which allowed the Holy See to establish a bishopric in the empire in exchange for the support of the Holy See, the empire would not have been able to pay for the military expenditure to occupy the southern border, let alone completely solve the barbarian threat. ”

"I see!" The geographical location of the Celestial Dragon Empire determines its situation of being attacked on all sides, one large-scale war after another, coupled with the border conflicts that break out from time to time, the most expensive wars have drained the Celestial Dragon Empire's national strength.

"Auntie, this is not right!" Bai Feng, who was still lamenting for the Heavenly Dragon Empire just now, suddenly reacted and asked Bai Anyun rhetorically: "After the empire defeated the orc empire, the grassland tribe, and the barbarian tribe one after another, didn't it take benefits from them?"

"Profit from them?" Bai Anyun, who looked depressed, lamented: "Do you think that the fierce and irascible orcs, the unruly steppe people, and the fierce barbarians who are not afraid of death, which of them will give the empire a chance to gain benefits?"

"Feng'er, don't think that you can gain benefits by winning the war, this is the law of war between civilized countries, but it does not apply to the war against foreign races; with their wars, whether we win or lose, we are all suffering losses, but the degree of losses is different.

Whether it is the orc empire in the east, the steppe tribes in the north, or the barbarian tribes in the south, almost all of them are soldiers, and they have a war advantage that we can never match;

If it weren't for the fact that in recent years, the northern Rhine merchant alliance had been transfusing blood for the empire through trade, and the empire that could not make ends meet would have abandoned the southern region long ago, but unfortunately, in the end, it was not able to salvage the precarious situation of the empire, and our southern territory was abandoned......"

Bai Anyun, whose tone was lost, made Bai Feng also sigh, a seemingly powerful empire was in such a state that it was in such a deterioration, the orc empire in the east and the steppe tribes in the north had once again forced this ancient and huge empire into an embarrassment.

Perhaps, for the five great families in the South, uniting is the only option for them under the premise that the Empire has effectively abandoned them, and only the new Southern Alliance can ensure that the South is not invaded by barbarian forces.

While feeling sad for the Heavenly Dragon Empire, Bai Feng also saw his own opportunity from it; a powerful Heavenly Dragon Empire could not accept the existence of Roman City, and only the Heavenly Dragon Empire, which was in internal and external troubles, would make the choice to drink to quench its thirst!

Bai Feng, who entered the county town of Matalor side by side with Bai Anyun, did not immediately accompany Bai Anjun to the military camp of the female knights, but first took the guards behind him to the city lord's mansion, which was not as good as the palace of the Roman city governor's palace.

After leaving Yue'er, Binglan and the Germanic berserkers in the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Feng took his general guards, led by four female knights, to the female knights' barracks, which was a regular barracks, but there was not a single man in it!
