Chapter 20: Princess Ash

"This is the territory of the Ice Archer Tribe, and compared to the Winterclaw Tribe, the land is much richer!" Augustus pointed to the clearly defined land where crops were grown, and spoke to the group of barbarian warriors behind him, who had always been mainly animal husbandry.

Carefully examining the territory of the enemy or friend he was about to face, Umeng Tuoba studied it very carefully, and whispered to Augustus, who was sitting on his side on his war horse and slowly moving forward due to the rugged terrain on the permafrost tundra: "The economy determines the future potential of an empire, and the army determines the actual strength of an empire!" Mr. Augustus, although I haven't seen the warriors of the Ice Archer tribe yet, economically, the Ice Archer tribe is indeed much stronger than the barren Winterclaw tribe! ”

Faced with the fact that Umeng Tuoba was still a little embarrassed to call him Mr. Augustus, Augustus smiled slightly. Originally, Umeng Tuoba always called him Young Master Augustus, but Augustus politely refused on the grounds that I was not a nobleman, and finally Umeng Tuoba changed his name to Mr. Augustus. This small change in the eyes of Augustus made Augustus attract another rare kindness from the unruly barbarian warriors.

Augustus was naturally happy to see this!

Smiling coldly, glancing at the crops that were not inferior to the wheat grown in Noxus on the plains, Augustus said softly: "It is certain that the Winterclaw tribe led by Sejuani is the most heroic and warlike tribe in the permafrost tundra, while the ice archer tribe is the richest tribe in the permafrost tundra. You must know that Princess Ash, the leader of the Ice Archer Tribe, used food to negotiate with the Winterpaw Tribe, hoping to peacefully unify Ferreljord! ”

"Peaceful reunification? I have to say that Princess Ash, who has obtained Queen Avarossa's Ice Divine Bow, does not have Queen Avarosa's iron blood and clever political skills, and her behavior is so naïve. If Ferreljord could be united with food, would it still be divided for a hundred years? For Princess Ash, who has the highest voice in the permafrost tundra, Umeng Tuoba expressed disdain.

Politically naïve, it's not an object of barbarian cooperation!

Augustus smiled at this and did not make any comment. "Barbarians are just barbarians after all!" For Umeng Tuoba. Augustus had a very kind and sincere smile on his face, but a sneer in his heart. Is Ash, the queen of the Ice Shooter Tribe, really a politically naïve woman? Hehe! This woman's political skills are probably inferior to that of the Svein Commander of the Noxian Empire!

Svein, except for General Du Kekao, who is known as the soul of the Noxian army, can firmly control the army, even the second knight of Noxus, Darius, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the Noxian army, does not dare to compare with him. The man who went from the military to the political arena and changed the phrase that the military is a political vassal in less than a decade can be said to be one of the most politically minded people in Noxus.

Augustus compared the princess Ash to the legend of Noxus. It can be seen how much Augustus attached importance to this politically naïve woman in the eyes of Umeng Tuoba.

"The permafrost tundra is not a rich place, even the richest ice shooter tribe is just barely living a subsistence life, but I have to say that this Princess Ash's courage, you look ahead, this is the building that Princess Ash sent her subordinates to build a special purpose for entertaining envoys from various countries!" Augustus pointed to the building that stood out on the permafrost tundra, and could even be called golden, and said with a smile to Umun Tuoba.

Umeng Tuoba was slightly stunned, even if he had too much hostility towards Ferreljord, he had to admire the ambition of the leader of the Ice Archer tribe, looked at the building that could be called magnificent, and said: "It seems that I really underestimated this Princess Ash, childish political methods? I should think about it! ”

For Augustus tactfully put forward his mistakes. Umeng Tuoba expressed gratitude in his heart, but he did not show it on the surface. The other Umeng Tuoba is not clear, but one thing is very clear to Umeng Tuoba: this knight from Noxus does not need a friend who is blind and arrogant and does not see the situation clearly, if he is forced to do so, Umeng Tuoba believes that this guy who is full of interests will kick him into the fire pit cleanly, and maybe add a knife or two to him before kicking into the fire pit to show his kindness!

on this. Umeng Tuoba is both attentive and vigilant.

An alliance is a simple thing, but it is not a simple thing, and to put it simply, it is the basis for the alliance to need interests. Such an alliance would be very strong. It is not simple because no one can guarantee that a third party will intervene to ensure more lucrative benefits, so that nine times out of ten the alliance will be severed, or even despair.

This is a very complicated matter for Umeng Tuoba, who is not good at politics, but fortunately, Umeng Tuoba has always remembered a sentence from the barbarian king Tydamir: interests are the cornerstone and premise of cooperation. Therefore, Wumeng Tuoba can advance and retreat to a certain extent, and maintain it to this day.

A whip on the horse's buttocks. Having entered the relatively flat land, Augustus, who had carefully steered his horse along the way, could finally let go of his speed and run quickly in this place. This feeling of riding the wind and conquering the sky has not been felt by Augustus for a long time.

If it weren't for the "Suffering is a stepping stone to power!" in your mind! This belief may well have collapsed Augustus.

On the way, Umeng Tuoba asked a question: "Where do we live?" Augustus pointed to the guest house, which was a landmark of the Ice Shooter Tribe. The corners of his mouth hooked up a little playfully and said: "Na, then it's not!" ”

――――

The Ferreljord Hotel is a very conspicuous sign on the eyes.

Different from Augustus's elegance and generosity, Wumeng Tuoba and the eleven barbarian warriors who came from afar from the Hoh Xili Plain were a little restrained, and from time to time they showed a little wariness to the extremely enthusiastic service staff in the hotel, if it weren't for the fact that Augustus, an important friend of the barbarians, insisted on living here, none of the barbarian warriors present would be willing to stay in this kind of place.

Under the arrangement of a beautiful ice shooter with a rather hot body, Augustus, Alista, Umeng Tuoba and other thirteen people successfully found their own room. Different from the cautiousness of Umon Tuoba and others, Augustus unceremoniously asked for a very luxurious and chic suite, looking at the exquisite layout and design of the room, Augustus, who had a bright smile on his face, couldn't help but compare this place with the Cathedral of Eugustin, and got a very amazing answer, not much inferior.

Holding the key that belonged to the distinguished guest, Alista, who had never reacted to external objects, was also a little restrained, hesitated for a moment, and said to Augustus in the corridor: "Young Master Augustus, will this affect your plan?" ”

It is true that he has been with Augustus for a long time as a cunning politician, and even the honest and simple Alista understands that some things should be said explicitly, and some things can only be said secretly. No, didn't Alista only say half a sentence?

Augustus smiled slightly, took the key to open the door, lay on the chuang mat made of velvet, smiled softly, and said, "Plan? Hehe, isn't it a daily adaptation to change? Now that there has been a change, so should the original plan! Wait a minute, and tell the hotel staff to prepare a sumptuous dinner, and maybe we'll be able to meet the real big guys of the Ice Shooter Tribe! ”

After saying that, Augustus blasted Alista, who was still confused, out of the room. This suite is good for everything, but it really lacks some of the things that a man's room should have, such as a woman! The corners of Augustus's mouth hooked up a trace that was enough to fascinate many aristocratic ladies who envied the elegant knights in the novel, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "No matter how much a country keeps pace with the times, some things are difficult to change for a while, for example, Ferreljord doesn't understand that hotels should be decorated with women, especially beautiful women, otherwise even the most luxurious hotels are just a decoration that has no effect!" No matter how gorgeous you look on the outside, but you are empty on the inside, how can you feel at home? ”

If the noxus of Noxus heard Augustus's high-minded remarks, let alone introduce him as a confidant, they would at least have a little more affection for this ordinary commoner who was favored by General Burnham, the ruler of Noxus.

And what about Ferreljord, who is struggling to survive and make ends meet? Princess Ash's move is already a useless waste and extravagance.
