Looking at the distressed expression of his cute sister, Gordon's smile became even brighter.
Seeing that her brother was just staring at her and smiling, Xie Ona suddenly said angrily: "Brother, you are talking, how should our Freeman family deal with the attack of the Eisenstein family?" ā
Gordon pointed to his cheek and said, "I've been so tired lately, my brain is knotted and I can't think of a way." If my lovely sister kissed me and dispelled my fatigue, I might be able to think of a way. ā
"Brother!" Xie Ona's fair cheeks instantly turned red like clouds. The girl bit her lip, her body squirming slightly, looking cramped. She didn't know whether to refuse her brother's bad request, or to endure the shame of doing such an intimate thing.
Gordon didn't really want Sheona to kiss him, he just liked to see his sister's shy and embarrassed look. He coughed dryly and said, "Okay, I won't tease you." The way to deal with the Eisensteins is simple: do nothing. ā
"Brother!" Xie Ona knew that she was being teased again, and she was so angry that she wanted to stretch out her fist and slap Gordon, "What do you mean by not doing anything?" ā
That's what it means literally. We just need to run our own territory at our own pace. Someone will help us deal with the Eisensteins. ā
"Who?"
Gordon said, "House Baratheon and House Stryker. The Diamond Lords and Warhammer Lords, like us, don't want to see the Eisenstein family rise to prominence. The only difference is that the two grand dukes have been in the aristocratic circle for many years, and they are cunning and cunning. Light yƬ will not make a move. And my destruction of Grey Castle gives them a great opportunity. ā
The destruction of the Grey Castle, for the Eisensteins. It's not just about losing a lot of elite soldiers, skilled craftsmen, precious mages, and countless riches. The various weapons and alchemical products produced in the Grey Castle were an important source of income for the Eisenstein family, and many noble families were customers of the Eisenstein family. Now that the alchemy workshops and weapon workshops in the Grey Castle have been destroyed, production capacity will definitely be greatly affected. After receiving money but not being able to meet the needs of customers, the Eisenstein family had to deal with the deteriorating aristocratic relations.
The knock-on effects of the destruction of Grey Castle will keep the Eisensteins busy for a while. And the other two Grand Dukes. Naturally, he will not miss the opportunity, and he will definitely take advantage of the danger to violently suppress the Eisenstein family. In this way, the Eisensteins wanted to protect themselves. There is no more strength to deal with the Freeman siblings.
Gordon expects that for at least a year, the Eisensteins will not be able to spare their hands against themselves. As for a year from now...... Things are always changing. What will happen then? Who knows?
Listened to my brother's explanation. Xie Ona finally understood. However, she was still a little uneasy: "Brother, how can you be sure that the Diamond Lord and the Warhammer Lord will definitely deal with the Eisenstein family?" Did you learn some advanced prophecy spell? ā
This is not a prophecy, but a reasonable prediction based on the current internal affairs of Ferreton. You may think that my attack on Grey Castle was a ploy, but I do think it was a conspiracy to follow the trend. ā
The sixteen-year-old girl's understanding of politics is still too vague. Xie Ona nodded incomprehensibly, and chatted with Gordon about other topics: such as what the fiefdom was about to arrive like; For example, the first step in governing a fiefdom. How to get started; And so on and so forth......
The Freeman family's convoy to the Hyven region consisted of twenty wagons. It was loaded with grain and other materials purchased in the imperial capital. Compared with the previous poor life, Gordon can be said to be quite rich now. Rob. the legacy of the Grand Duke of Antelo; the gifts of Faria, Lord Julian, Lady Bishop, Dorne, and others at parting; the reward of His Majesty the Emperor; And the money looted from the Grey Castle......
All kinds of sources came together, and now Gordon had 100,000 gold coins in hand alone.
Such a huge amount of money, just saying it, I'm afraid it can scare many people jaw-dropping. However, Gordon knew that although there was more money on hand, there would be more places to spend money in the future.
More than 95 percent of the land on the Haiwen Peninsula is now uncultivated. For a long time, the fiefdom will be in a state of only consumption and no output.
If you want to open up this vast land of nearly 100,000 square kilometers and completely control it in the hands of the Freeman family, 100,000 gold coins are not enough.
In addition to a large number of supplies, the convoy was accompanied by more than 300 people. In addition to the Freeman siblings, there is Dalina and his mother, who are now promoted to assistant mages; In the Battle of High Rock Castle, the five retainers and their families were excellent; It turned out that the Bard family, the chef who served the Freeman brothers and sisters when they were in Clear Water City; three hundred craftsmen and servants of all kinds, sent by the Betitz family, the maiden home of Queen Elizabeth; Originally part of the Redstone Legion, Faria has now been transferred to two hundred veteran soldiers of Gordon.
This vast group of people, the progress is naturally very slow.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the journey was to take a boat south along the Changlu River, I am afraid that the time to walk from the imperial capital to the Haiwen area would have to wait until mid-March.
"Your Lord!"
Chuck's shouts could be heard outside the window. Gordon lifted the curtain and saw the former platinum centurion's weather-beaten but energetic face: "What's the matter?" ā
"My lord, according to the scouts, we'll be able to reach Vinvine in three hours. We finally don't have to sleep out in the wild tonight! ā
It's no wonder Chuck is so excited. Manvine Town is a small town located on the border between the provinces of Chang Ha and the region of Haiwen. The main traffic artery connecting the Haiwen area and the province of Chang Ha passes through this town. Arriving in Vinetown doesn't just mean a hot meal and a comfortable bed at night, it also means that the long journey is coming to an end: they're about to enter the fiefdom!
"I see." Hearing the news of Chuck's report, Gordon's mood also became happy. Although he had long learned about the situation of the Haiwen Peninsula from the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor and various imperial government documents, he still couldn't wait to reach this area. After all, no matter how wild and dangerous it is, it is also its own fiefdom.
"Duro and Lady Dinah don't know if they've arrived in Vinetown?" Xie Ona said.
As Gordon's business partner, Douro decided to abandon the long-standing business in the city of Clear Water and follow Gordon with all his possessions after learning that Gordon had acquired the Hayven Peninsula in the south of the empire as a fief.
Leave the bustling Blue Water City, give up the network resources that have been operating for a long time, and go to a wild land full of unknowns. At first glance, this decision seems absurd and risky. But when you think about it, it's a wise decision.
Almost half of the reason why Douro has today's business success is the cooperation between him and Gordon. The unique staple products such as the heroic ring and the hair removal agent made him rich. In addition, with Golden as a backer, it will not be difficult for other forces to operate.
Now that Gordon is gone, Douro knows that it will be difficult for him to hold on to the city. So he simply took all his belongings and went south. For the first time before, he had placed his bets on Gordon and made a fortune he never dared to imagine. This time, Douro decided to take another gamble and bet all his hopes on Gordon, who had been granted a fief.
And Madame Dinah also volunteered to go to the Hybon area.
Because of last year's Sun Elf Castle incident, she lost her position as the diocese director of the Learya Church, and even the management of the Amber Mask was taken back by the church.
In such a cruel treatment, Lady Dinah broke away from the Church of Learya with eighteen members of the congregation who were still loyal to her, and became a free believer in the goddess of pleasure.
Madame Dinah, who had nowhere to stay, thought of Douro, who had a good personal relationship with her, so she simply went south and prepared to follow Gordon.
Lady Dinah has deep connections in the noble circle of Ferreton, and her eighteen members are also good priests. Gordon naturally welcomes such people to follow him. After all, the Freeman family is now too few people, and one more follower will expand its strength.
Douro and Madame Dinah traveled south along the Kenwa Canal, taking far fewer routes than Gordon's convoy, so they should have reached the vineyard first, according to the time.
The group planned that after the two teams met in Vine Town, they would go to Haiyun City, the seat of governance in the Haiwen region.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Freeman family's motorteam arrived in the town of Vinens, on time.
To the north of the town is the vast plains of the Changxia Province. To the south, however, the terrain changes abruptly, extending into a mountainous area with an average altitude of 500 meters. The town got its name from the fact that the town's houses are built on a large number of strong, durable vines, the size of an adult's arm.
The reason why the Haiwen Peninsula was difficult to be fully controlled by the empire was also a large reason for its harsh terrain that stretched throughout the north.
Due to the dense forests of the mountains that separate the peninsula from the Changxia Plain, the Haiwen area is extremely inaccessible to the outside world.
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads...... It seems that this sentence is really not wrong. In the future, if you want to exhibit your fiefdom, you must open up this mountainous area...... "Gordon looked out the window at the southern scenery, which was completely different from the northland, and began to make plans for future exhibitions.
The town of vines is the fief of the Frey family, a great nobleman in the southern part of the Changxia Province. After Gordon's motorcade entered the town and revealed his identity, the mayor immediately greeted everyone warmly to his luxurious residence.
However, to Gordon's surprise, Duro and Lady Dinah, who were supposed to arrive in Vinetown early, were nowhere to be found. (To be continued......)
