"Chapter 403: Next Step"
"I really didn't expect these guys to surrender so simply. I thought they would promote their chivalry, like those foreigners on TV, and resist us to the end. ”
Sitting at the twelve-meter-long banquet table, Fang Zi's appetite was very good, although the food was still a simple tribal style mistake, but at this time, the good mood far outweighed the degree of food processing.
"The general trend is beyond them."
I stuffed the steak into the bread and ate it like I used to say, and it tasted really good.
"Subike is now suffering from internal and external troubles, the land in the south has been robbed by us, the north has been beaten by the griffin empire in chaos, there are monsters and Zeng Qiang in the west, and the army of the Barot Kingdom in the east is pressing, and now even the country has been lost, and it is proper to lose the rhythm of the country."
I was a little anxious to eat, and I was talking while eating, and my head was worried about Salondron again, but a bite of bread almost choked me, and it seems that no matter how strong I am, there is a risk of choking to death.
"Hey."
Fang Zi sighed, not knowing whether to worry about me, or to lament Subike's current situation.
"Pan Pan, you eat slowly, you won't die of hunger."
Well, I'm sure Fang Zi is feeling me.
"Pan Pan, have you ever thought about what to do after that? The kingdom is finished, but there is no room for our development in the east, west, north and south! ”
Fang Zi shook his head and pointed his finger at me and said.
After listening to Fang Zi's words, I suddenly realized that I had been in a hurry to advance northward, and my head had been to hit Mantas and kill Salondran, and I had almost forgotten the most important thing, that is, if the kingdom fell, we would face pressure from at least two directions.
The Griffon Empire has made some agreements with us before, and I have always wanted to open up this huge market, so I sold them a batch of holy water at a high price, and gave them a lot of important information about the area around the Tibetan Soldier City, but this does not alleviate the conflict of interests between the two of us.
We attacked north, although it was for our own sake, but it did cooperate with the griffon empire to move south, disrupting the strategic deployment of the entire kingdom, and also taking the political center of the kingdom. However, this time, the Griffin Empire clearly wants to take over the entire Subic Kingdom. According to the usual urine behavior of the Griffon Empire in the history books, they do not want a remnant of Subic to continue to exist and will definitely eat us whole, it is only a matter of time.
I now feel that compared to the threat and pressure of the Griffin Empire, the attack of the Barot Kingdom is like a small fight, after all, with their national strength, that is, to take advantage of a little advantage, at most give them a part of the eastern land, even if it is a military confrontation, we have a good chance of winning.
As for the forest area to the west, the huge Warcraft army has also expanded a lot to the east, and even leveled several towns on the border, although it is far away from us, but there is also a lot of threat. According to Zeng Qiang, the Saint-level demonic beast that led the beast group should have almost recovered by now, and its aura could sometimes be felt even on the periphery of the Silver Moon Forest camp.
"Salondron is gone, even if he runs, I am afraid that the only areas that can support him are the remaining lords in the east and north, and the western ones do not need to be considered, those nobles are surrounded by people who have been sent to watch, and they will not be able to send troops to rescue their king. Even if there is a war saint, it can't save the situation. ”
I thought about it and told Fang Zi like this.
"So what? Now that the kingdom is gone, we all know it, and we still need to say it! Can't you just say something useful? ”
However, Fang Zi seemed to be very impatient with my words, and his fingers kept tapping on the table.
"So, we should still go north, after all, we will start fighting sooner or later on the griffin side, and now we will march to clean up a little more remnants of the kingdom's forces, even if we can't expand the sphere of influence, we can have more buffer zones with the griffin empire in the future." However, we still have to deal with Salondron as soon as possible, and we really can't take Sister Avelia over, and after the official coronation, there will be only one queen in the Subic Kingdom, which will be beneficial to us from the perspective of aristocratic tradition. ”
I also felt that what I had just said was a bit redundant, so I said the plan in my heart as simply as possible.
"That's it, let's deal with the affairs here and we'll go back, although this place is big, but I don't feel used to it."
Fang Zi nodded indifferently and crossed his legs. When she said she didn't fit in, she frowned visibly.
In fact, I also have a lot of experience with Fang Zi's statement, I don't know why, even if my army has controlled the whole city, and the kingdom castle has been occupied by our army, I also have an indescribable feeling and a complete sense of insecurity. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the protagonists in those who travel through will leave the big city and run back to the small place where they started.
However, now the situation in Mantas has no meaning of stability at all, if we leave, it is estimated that we will immediately fall into chaos, even if a legion is stationed, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress it, the remaining strength of Salondron still exists, and the counterattack of the old nobles of the kingdom is also very annoying. And if you go north according to the plan, it is obvious that you will not be able to continue to control the overall situation when you return to the south.
It would be safer to place a tribal city, Mantas is the political center of the kingdom, as long as you run a well-developed branch city in this area, then the old-school nobles of the kingdom will not be able to turn the tide, and when the enemies in the north go south, we will not have to stay far from supplies to fight them. That's right, that's it, I'm too smart!
I suddenly felt excited, and now I wanted to rush outside of Mantas and pick a good spot in the vicinity in a timely kilometer to establish a branch city to complete my plan.
Of course, my thoughts are very good, if I hadn't taken into account my own character ...
Even if the strength becomes stronger, it can't change the character of the half-house, and after sleeping in the open for several days, I now have an extraordinary sense of belonging to the indoor environment.
Under Fang Zi's disdainful gaze, I still walked out of the castle gate and plunged headlong into the makeshift base camp we controlled outside the castle (people in the tribal world seemed to like that name), lying on the bed and reluctant to get up.
Well, this behavior is really bad, but I can't stop my instincts. If it weren't for the safety concerns, I would have liked to live in the castle bed and enjoy the life of an emperor and the pleasures of a few months of fainting. It's a pity that this idea is too corrupt, and the princes and knights around me, including Fang Zi, have reprimanded my idea, so I have to give up.
I was lying in bed, and I thought I could fall asleep soon...
When I opened my eyes, I found that it was pitch black, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. I put on my coat, lit the oil lamp, and walked to the windowsill to look at the castle not far away.
I seem to feel a calling, a peculiar whisper...
"It's not a good thing, but it's not necessarily a bad thing."
I had a peculiar urge, so I immediately asked the Heavy Knights of the Night's Watch to summon Philip and the princes.
