Chapter 41: Harsh. under

Surprisingly, however, the guards came back and reported that the country had been founded in the spring of two years ago, and that it had barely been three years since the end of this year. Three years ago, it was a small, dilapidated village with a population of less than 200 people.

But since the village was renamed Pulen Castle, it has undergone earth-shaking changes. From the size of the population, to the territory occupied, to the final wars and plundering a large number of people. They went from being useless at the beginning to becoming the strongest of the surrounding forces in one fell swoop. A medium-sized country with thousands of professional troops and a population of more than 60,000.

They had already defeated the English, and had recently defeated the invasion of the Prince of Wales, and had taken the opportunity to invade Wales and plunder almost all the population near the border.

Today, there are not only Scottish, English, Welsh and Irish people in this great city. However, these people no longer call themselves the names of their past clans, and they call themselves Purons. Even the Welshmen, who now make up the majority of the royal city, have a strange expression on their faces when they talk about the past, waving their hands again and again to indicate that they have nothing to do with themselves in the past, and that they are now just a citizen of the royal city of Puron.

Elander didn't know what kind of charm the Pullon King City had that could make these people follow it so desperately, but Elander knew that the military strength and forging technology possessed by the Pullen King City were indeed second to none in the world.

Think back to the neat and wide stone paths of the Pleon King City, the unique wooden houses lined with the roads, the bustling pedestrian streets, and the rows of patrol guards in uniform armor. This qiē gave Elander a great shock in his heart, and he couldn't help but start to think back to the predecessor of the Holy Roman Empire......... Roman!

Thinking of this, Elander felt more and more that the young man in front of him was not simple. So, he rushed in front of his country's old enemy, the French envoy, and said: "Dear King Prun, our Holy Roman Empire has come with sincerity this time. We in the Holy Roman Empire are willing to spend a lot of money on this method of making your country's amazing weapons, and we are also willing to provide you with a hundred fine horses, three hundred inferior horses, and a large amount of gold. ”

Poof, as soon as Elander's words fell, there was a chuckle from the stage. After a closer look, it turned out that Yania covered the corners of her mouth lightly, her eyes were slightly curved, and she looked at the audience with a smile.

On the other hand, King Pullen also had a "hell" expression on his face, as if he was impatient to encounter a topic with a low IQ. In particular, the news from Pandora in Harbour City made him very concerned, and if it wasn't something very necessary, he completely wanted to leave such a trivial matter to the next generation. Now it seems that the expansion of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be put on the agenda, especially in the area of personnel training.

"Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Yania of our royal city of Puron. Bedron. Clean. She currently serves as the commander of the King's Praetorian Guard, as well as a staff officer to the army. Therefore, on many occasions her actions and will represent my decision, and if you feel that her actions are rude, I would like to apologize in advance. ”

Hearing this, Elander shook his head helplessly, he has a heavy responsibility, the Holy Roman Emperor is determined to build the technology of the royal city of Pullen, and it is impossible for Elander to cut off his future because of this little thing.

"Well, then, King Pullen, I have conveyed the Emperor's intentions to me. Would you like to forge this hard-won friendship with our Holy Roman Empire? Elander asked with a hint of anticipation.

However, Arandall's hopes were disappointed, as he was sternly rejected by King Pullen.

"I'm sorry, but your Holy Roman Empire's proposal is unacceptable to us in the royal city of Prien.

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Alander asked, looking at King Pullen. At this time, King Pulen said, "There is no reason for us to sell our top-grade zuò craftsmanship to outsiders, this is the way to destroy ourselves. This kind of stupid thing is not something that we Pulon people will do. Moreover, we have enough enemies and do not want to continue to make trouble for ourselves, especially against certain non-Allied countries. ”

"However, if the city of Pullen is willing to leave this method of creation to our Holy Roman Empire," said Elander. Then in addition to the rewards of the Holy Roman Empire, you will also be able to get the friendship of our Holy Roman Emperor, and believe me, this is a very precious thing that cannot be bought at any price. ”

King Pullen frowned when he heard this, raised his head and snorted coldly.

"Rewards? It's just a purely commercial exchange between the two countries, and if you're willing to pay for it, we'll be responsible for providing the goods, and if you're not willing to continue the deal, then the two sides will stop the deal. I don't see where there is a need for the other party to use the word "reward" to describe it, and friendship? Friendship between nations is like papyrus, except that it is somewhat useful in the toilet, who would take such a thing seriously? ”

"The peace treaty concluded between the Confederate States of Italy, led by Venice and Milan, and your Holy Roman Empire was torn up after only three months! I ask you, does such an emperor of a country still have credibility at all?! Not to mention...... Sue me sù Elander. What does the friendship of the Emperor of your country mean to us in the royal city of Puren? ”

Elander's face was a little gloomy, but not yet. It's just that he didn't expect that this king of the royal city of Puren would dare to confront the envoy of the Holy Roman Empire in person, which surprised him a little.

"It means a qiē, honorable King Pullen." Alander was still smiling, and said with an expression of indifference to King Pullen's words. "If you are willing to agree to His Majesty's terms, two-thirds of the sea routes of our Holy Roman Empire will be open to you, and you will have free access to the port of Garobisna, the harbor city of Noobislaki, and the largest port capital of the Empire, the sea capital of St. Pieter. ”

"Oh?" King Pullen's eyes narrowed slightly. "I have heard from some port merchants that Garobisna, Nobbislač, and St. Pieter's Sea are the three largest North Sea ports of your Holy Roman Empire, because you have been trying to expand your control and control of trade in the North Sea since you lost your free access to Venice ten years ago. That's why you fought the Nordics a year ago, didn't you? ”

Elander smiled slightly, and then said: "I didn't expect the king's ears and eyes to be so sensitive that he even knew about the "Battle of Garobis" a year ago. Yes, the Danes tried in vain to attack Garobis and seize control of the eastern coastline of the South China Sea, but alas, although they were once successful, they were beaten back by our Imperial Third Army stationed near Hamburg. The Danes fled into the depths of the forest with a miserable cry like a lone wolf escaping from a pack. ”

The Third Legion of the Empire mentioned by Arander is the most elite legion unit of the Holy Roman Empire, and it is said to be a heavy army that completely inherits the combat methods of the Roman Legion, with a total number of 5,000 people, and the first, fourth, and sixth legions of the Empire are collectively known as the four iron walls of the Empire.

The number of the Holy Roman Empire's standing legions was not very large, only 100,000 people. However, the reserves that can be used are extremely terrifying, and if you add the slaves and serfs from all over the country, it can form a huge army of about 500,000 people and sweep the whole of Europe!

Of course, this can only be a matter of thought. Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the various divisions and infighting within the Holy Roman Empire, let alone attacking together, and even one of the four legions of iron walls is not under the control of the emperor, so you can imagine that this kind of army controlled by the emperor himself can be controlled by other nobles, so how complicated is the army of the nobles below...... Understandable, right?
