Biwen, the city lord of the Beast Blood Castle, is a bit out of character. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that he is the lord of a city, and he leads the military and political affairs of the Beast Blood Castle. Danvin has a whole professional conquest; The Fifth Legion led by Wu Youdelin was stationed in the whole city, and he, the city lord, was only in name, completely in a state of being hollowed out, and had no power at all.

But Bivin didn't care.

Two years ago, he witnessed the hundred-meter-high castle in White Wolf Castle, and when he rose from the ground in front of his eyes, he was impressed by the man sitting on the top of the castle. And the Governor of Ozer, whom he swore allegiance to, also made a clear order before leaving, to hand over the Beast Blood Castle and Ice Cave City to Dane.

In this sense, to this day, he has been able to take the Beast Blood Castle back from the hands of the rebels with his own hands and hand it over to Dane, which has largely fulfilled his wish.

What's more, before leaving, Dane took time out to meet him in private.

On this side, what Dane said to Bivin, of course, outsiders can't know. But it can be seen that Biwen is in a very good mood after sitting back in his position as the city lord.

……

At the end of November, the problem of Ice Cave City was also solved.

The situation is similar to that of the Beast Blood Castle, there is no need for Dane to do it himself, and there are naturally people in the city who can't bear the pressure and choose to throw themselves at him.

Dane's approach is similar to that of the Beast Blood Keep. Leave a part of the cronies and troops stationed in Ice Cave City to be responsible for defense; At the same time, the Ice Cave City Government was established to control the administrative work.

However, Ice Cave City has a special place of its own. There is nothing special about the city itself, the population is not particularly large, and the geographical location is not so important.

However, in the special ice field environment around Ice Cave City, the abundant ice crystal ore born is a very valuable thing!

Ice Cave City isn't very far to the north. Judging from the same location, Chaos City will not be closer to the south than it, but Chaos City is not so cold, and it will not form perennial ice around the city.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a powerful ice dragon fell in this part of Ice Cave City, and its bloodline forever changed the climate and environment of this area, and his scales penetrated deep into the earth, forming ice crystals.

Whether the legend is credible or not, there is no way to verify. However, the special geographical environment here has created a large area of ice-covered wonders, and at the same time, those special mineral deposits buried under the ice and snow have long been hidden.

These mineral deposits are the most important lifeline of Ice Cave City, and they are also its most precious wealth.

How to maximize the economic value of these mineral deposits is one of the most important tasks of the Ice Cave City Government. As long as they can achieve the desired effect, the benefits that the kingdom of Dane can get in this regard are very considerable.

A monthly income of no less than 150,000 gold coins, and there is a lot of room for growth!

Dane values the money.

Now, in the whole territory of Hindlaire, except for the White Wolf Castle and Shawan Harbor, the tax revenue in other places is only about 100,000 gold coins a month on average. And the two cities in the south have 100,000 gold coins. Komya Island and the Chamber of Commerce controlled by Halfling Hull can also bring 100,000 gold coins to Dane every month.

This is only a total of 350,000 monthly income. And the ice crystal mine in Ice Cave City has 150,000 gold coins a month, what a huge number?

The warlords who occupied the city often fought each other for the benefit of the ice crystals, and the population of this land was too sparse. If it weren't for these reasons, I'm afraid this city would be the easiest place to give birth to top warlords.

Such interests are also very easy to breed bandits. Icecave City has always been one of the most banditry places. Many robbers who are desperate even dare to attack the veins guarded by the army directly in groups, just for the sake of that eye-catching profit.

In order to protect the interests of the ice crystals from being ransacked, Dane also left more than 5,000 soldiers in the city as guards.

After some consideration, Dane did not organize these soldiers as a new legion, but brought them all under the control of Delin's Fifth Legion.

Now, looking at it this way, the strength of this nascent Fifth Army is still very strong - nonsense, can it not be strong? A full 10,000 men were transferred from the White Wolf Legion and the King's Guard! Elder came running to protest, saying that his legion had shrunk by a full half!

With the promise that after returning to the south, he would replenish the troops drawn from the King's Guard within half a year, and Dane finally appeased the general.

In fact, why did Dane himself want to split up the two main legions of the White Wolf and the King's Guard? But there is no way, Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Castle both have military defense pressure, and they both need troops to defend them, and the main army he can trust is only three. Of course, the elves of Komyrya can't be used to garrison the place, and the only ones who can be dispatched are the Kingdom Guard Legion and the White Wolf Legion.

Originally, Dane still had a large army - that is, the soldiers before Ice Cave City and the Beast Blood Fortress.

These soldiers, in Dane's plan, were all to be assigned to the Fourth Legion. This also caused Pandorf's Fourth Army to swell to nearly 20,000 men in a short period of time.

However, for him, all the soldiers who belonged to the warlords in the past cannot be trusted.

Not credible, at least temporarily.

Pandorf's control of the Fourth Army had already begun to bear fruit. However, when the newly surrendered soldiers were thrown in, the legion became less easy to control again.

Of course, there must still be a way.

By appointing students from Schindlaire's military department, transferring some loyal officers from other legions, and strengthening the spirit of the army, all of these methods were used together to greatly strengthen Dane's control over the army.

Then, Dane will slowly and gradually let the soldiers of the Fourth Legion receive training in the various types of military buildings in the White Wolf Castle, and finally complete the transformation and become an elite legion unit whose strength is not weaker than that of the White Wolf Legion.

Of course, it takes a lot of time and money to do all this according to the plan. But this plan must be promoted, otherwise, the army in Dane's hands will become very insufficient.

In the past, he had a strong army with him, and it was not comfortable to go around to fight; But now that he is a king and has a whole kingdom to protect, the use of the army can no longer be so hasty.
