This chapter is "Dreaming Back to the Ancient Jiangnan" Ten Thousand Rewards and Updates.

Tulip Fort.
The meeting was held solemnly, with a huge thick paper map laid out on the wall. The black ink lines outline a simple map of the sea area.
This map is interesting.
If you use the upper left corner and the lower right corner as the central axis. On the left is a yellow-brown undertone, which represents the continent, and on the right, a pale blue undertone, which represents the sea.
Above the sea, there are islands that represent the Grand Duchy of Sapphire, and the closest to the central axis of the map is Iron Hoof Island.
With the upper right and lower left corners as the central axis, the continent is divided in two by red lines. The upper half of the continent is the territory of the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and the lower half of the continent is the territory of the Eagle Kingdom.
Along this central axis, it also happens to divide Ironhoof Island in two, that is, Ironhoof Island goes to the land of the two kingdoms at the same distance.
It's a six-day voyage.
Of course, if you have to calculate accurately, in fact, it will take six and a half days to reach the Iron Ridge Kingdom, and it is slightly off the central axis. Basically, it can be estimated that the distance between Tiehoe Island and the coastline of the Eagle Kingdom is about more than 1,200 kilometers, which is equivalent to the distance from Beijing to Shanghai.
It is about the width of nine Taiwan Straits.
"In previous years, we attacked the hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom, mainly focusing on the four coastlines of Sardin Bay, the Yellow Mud Coast, the Roaring River Estuary, and the Dense Promenade, but this year, we will cooperate with the Knights of the Iron Ridge Kingdom to attack the area of Sardin Bay. It is surrounded by four major cities: Snake Tooth City, Ambition City, Cold Stream City, and Dragon Fall City. ”
Captain Mikey stood in front of the map and explained: "These four large cities belong to the territories of the four marquises, and our knights cannot conquer these large cities and castles, but the surrounding flat land is a meadow for war horses to gallop. Just take all the resources you can take. ”
"What area are we targeting on Coral Island?" asked Viscount Younas.
"We are mainly attacking the area around Snake Tooth City, this area is poorly developed, and it has been robbed many times in previous years, and it is difficult for those nobles of the Eagle Kingdom to develop their territory, so the resources are relatively thin. But the Grand Guild compensated for the merits of the war. The Count sat down in his seat and explained.
Every year, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire attacks the coastline in the belly of the Eagle Kingdom.
But every year the direction of the offensive is different, sometimes from the Gulf of Sardin, sometimes from the mouth of the Roaring River, and sometimes even landing on an unnamed coastline somewhere.
As a sub-feudal country.
The defense of these territories was, of course, the responsibility of the local lords, and without a unified military operation, they could easily be sacked by the knights of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
The lords of the border sea area are the poorest nobles in the Eagle Kingdom.
However, perennial warfare, each territory has a strong knight order, which is not easy to gnaw. Their territories were much larger, and most of them were enclaves, which meant that these lords also had territories inland, so development around the coastline was relatively backward.
The Gulf of Sardin has not come to plunder for several years.
This time, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire will start from the Gulf of Sardine. The knights of Coral Island, the main attack area is arranged near Snake Tooth City, as for the specific attack, it needs to be negotiated after arriving on the mainland - the war is not filming, and there is no rehearsal here.
"Half good news and half bad news, are you going to hear good news or bad news first?"
The Count smiled, and without waiting for his followers to respond, he said, "Well, two hours are actually connected. Rooster Crown City will gather a group of knights to join us in attacking the hinterland of the Eagle Kingdom. ”
Rooster Crown City is a large city in the Iron Ridge Kingdom and a fief of a marquis.
With such a new force joining, the battle situation of attacking the hinterland is more certain, but one more marquis means that there are more sharers of war achievements and resources.
Sure enough, it was good news and bad news.
Liszt didn't care about that.
He looked at the map and began to imagine how he was going to loot the resources - unlike the Knights before him, he was not very strong at charging, but he was definitely quick to dismantle the castle. In the past, the development order was mainly based on rushing raids, rarely attacking cities, and only fighting for minerals.
However, with the help of Blizzard Beasts, the benefits of demolishing the castle far outweigh the rush to seize the mine.
And his task has been assigned, leading a Coral Island Knights, cooperating with the Earl, focusing on attacking the large and small castles around Snake Tooth City. The Earl also knows how to maximize benefits, and there are a batch of middle-level demonic beasts such as Shake Sen and the Eight Little Monsters, and it would be stupid not to know how to use them.
......
After the meeting.
The followers left the Tulip Fort and returned to their respective territories, regrouping their armaments and waiting for the departure of Oxhorn on October 6, the large city of Ironhoof Island, which was still the starting point of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire's expedition to carry out the Pioneer Order and the Knights.
In the town of flowers.
Liszt spent a whole day explaining all the regulations for the construction of the territory. Spend another night doing all the work of the castle, communicating with Carter, the butler, and carrying enough food.
The next day he confessed to Chrissy Truth and took over his deal with Elkeson.
Then he said goodbye to Ake, and told Ake to remember to supervise the construction of mangroves, collect black clams pearls, search for sea spirit insects, and raise mallards.
"Brother, how long will it take for you to come back from the war this time?" Ake was reluctant to let Liszt leave, she had lived alone in the sea.
But now I'm enjoying the company of people.
"It can be as short as a month or as long as two or three months, but I think I will definitely come back before the New Year's Festival. ”
The little kraken squeezed his fists: "Well, Ah Ke will seriously practice magic, help his brother work, and come to the sea view villa every day to rest for a while, waiting for his brother to come back." When my brother returns, Ake will definitely become stronger, and no sea monster in the sea can beat Ake!"
"I believe that. Liszt put his arm around Ake, her magical talent was unquestionable.
......
Early in the morning of October 8th.
Liszt was already dressed up and leading a squad of knights from Dark Horse Island, ready to set off from Flower Town.
He gave a final order to Galtai who came to see him off: "Advisor Galtai, the construction of the territory is shared by Isaiah and Blair, but you must coordinate and command from a high level of the overall situation. Pay special attention to the hoarding of food, do not be stingy with the cost of gold coins, I will send a large number of serfs, at least tens of thousands of people, who must not be short of food for the winter. ”
"Rest assured, I'm always mindful. ”
"The management and arrangement of the new serfs should also be planned in advance, and if you encounter any problems, you can go directly to Tulip Castle to ask Sir Levi for help. ”
"I understand, sir. ”
So.
What should be explained has been explained clearly, and what should be arranged has also been arranged, and Liszt is no longer nostalgic. Under the escort of the territorial officials and servants, he galloped away in the dim light of the east that had just been white. The galloping hooves of the knights' squad kicked up dust and drove away.
