"The princess must think that it is useless for me to build this Great Wall, which costs people and money?"

"You're going to take over the whole North!" Princess Angelina was really surprised, such an idea was crazy!

"No, there are still two dukes in the north who want to compete with me for territory. ”

Princess Angelina looked at Xia He and was silent for a long time, Xia He smiled: "They also took away a year's food supplies, although they were originally said to be given to them." ”

Princess Angelina wondered if Asra wanted to monopolize the north.

The Demon Domain has not been completely torn apart, and the war in the north will not be fought at all in a year or two. If they couldn't get supplies, the two dukes would probably have to give up all the land they had conquered. As for the temple, I guess it's the same way to deal with it.

"What about the temple?" Princess Angelina couldn't help but ask.

"The river has passed, why is the bridge still there?"

"You can eat so much?"

"Of course, if you are regent, princess, when the two dukes and the temple are gone, and my Great Wall is repaired, you will make another will to recognize my occupation of the north. ”

"Why. Angelina pouted, Asla's appetite was too big.

"Guess what?"

Xia He looked at the princess with a smile, and the smile disappeared on Angelina's face. Asla, he's serious!

"You know, this is equivalent to cutting off a third of the continent, how can the people of the empire allow you to monopolize such a large territory? This is enough for statehood. ”

"The emperor is not in a hurry, is it their turn to be in a hurry. ”

"Duke. Princess Angelina stood up from behind the table, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked around the table.

Xia He also stood up, looking very polite.

"Your ambitions are huge. Angelina came to Xia He and looked up at Xia He's face with almost no traces of age.

"That's because you didn't understand me. Xia He replied with a smile. own ambition, how could Princess Angelina understand. Even His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't understand.

Sometimes, your birth limits your imagination.

You don't know how terrifying the Dao Palace's conquest of the multiverse is. In your eyes, the expulsion of the followers of the gods from the empire is already a supreme achievement.

"I can't read you...... Then why do I have to issue a decree to determine your leadership in the North?"

"Because, too, you have benefits, Your Highness. ”

"I love to hear this, tell me about it. Let me guess again, and I'll cut off your head. Princess Angelina said unceremoniously.

"Your Highness, I'm not good at fighting on land, but I'm very good at building warships. After conquering this continent, I will build a powerful fleet for Your Highness to control the eastern seaboard. Let Muscis control the south, you are in the middle, I am in the north, if others want to go to the sea, they have to bypass the mainland, then there is no advantage. ”

"You don't mean ......"

"Yes, I don't know if the sea to the east is connected to the Leo continent, but it won't be a blank slate, in fact, I've already sent people to investigate. Deep in the eastern seas, storms are not so frequent, and it is possible for flying warships to pass through. ”

"It's all imaginary. ”

"How is it possible, Your Highness, my immediate goal is to conquer all the continents of this world. At the very least, make a circle around the star. You see, I've taken Rhodes, and then the northern part of the New World, and if I can reach Leo again, I'll take it......"

"Then your territory is more than the empire. ”

"The world occupied by the royal family will never be less than ten. It's not even small and medium-sized. ”

Princess Angelina leaned back on her desk, thinking about Xia He's suggestion. This guy is afraid that he really has the intention of becoming a king on his own, how should he face him?

Thinking about this question that made her embarrassed, Angelina said, "Asla, your background is still insufficient." Asra Academy of Magic, I know, there are a lot of legends, but compared with the nine colleges, the gap is too big. Your population is also not enough to support your all-out war plans. ”

"But I have the backing of the Empire. ”

"Empire?"

"You are the Empire. ”

"Hahahaha! I think you would never dare to talk like that when my father was around. Princess Angelina smiled unsteadily on the table and pointed to Xia Hedao: "I didn't expect you to be in such a hurry." ”

"Actually, I can do it on my own. Xia He's words made Princess Angelina stop laughing.

"Alone?"

"Control the north, as long as the emperor's words are used as an excuse, who dares to go to war with me. However, I'm still very reputation-conscious, and I had a little cooperative relationship with the temple before, so I don't want to tear my face and fight directly. So I've come to take refuge with you, and when you give the order, we'll form an expeditionary force and march eastward, to the sea. ”

"And then?"

"The situation in the New World is unstable, the people of the temple are behind, Your Highness, you must not be at ease, so you issued a decree to ask the imperial nobles to attack the temple. ”

"Duke, I'm sure, you're not dreaming. Princess Angelina sighed.

"What's the problem?"

"Of course, it's embarrassing, there is not a single aboriginal in such a big continent, and it is a lot of money to develop it. And then there will be a war, and on the side of the half-elf empire, it is impossible not to fight. The royal family will have a large part of its power invested in the past, in which case ......"

"You can have the private territory of the royal family in the south and spy on the southern nobles, right? ”

"Hmm. ”

"Your Highness, how many nobles of the empire have completed my military reform?"

"Not many, not a single to be exact, and there are still soldiers in my army who are not professionals. Princess Angelina said with a frown.

"So, the composition of my army is too advanced. In fact, we can mobilize soldiers from the Atlas and fight with our own army in the Overworld as the backbone. For example, a brigade of 500 people can completely conduct joint operations with an ordinary legion. ”

Princess Angelina listened patiently, if it is an old-fashioned legion, it is better to have 50,000 to 100,000 people in a legion. Fifty thousand men is the minimum number, and if you reorganize, it is better to be the same as the new army, 6,000 men in a battalion, and ten battalions are equal to a corps.

60,000 people is enough, with 500 new troops as the main force, it doesn't matter if the number of professionals in the 60,000 people is small, anyway, the magic musket is getting cheaper and cheaper, and if the enemy is not a fully professional army, there is no need to worry about a frontal conflict.

Xia He continued: "I'll solve the problem of equipment, the demons will take care of it, I can provide ordinary soldiers with lighter scale armor, and the defense against low-level magic muskets is still good." The scale armor only has a small amount of metal, and it is all refined from demon bones, so that ordinary soldiers can have better weight. An ordinary soldier may only be able to command one or two mechs, so the lowest-level, level 5 mech. ”

Xia He said, directly releasing a magical illusion in the room, and said: "Look, this is the scale armor I designed, see that the combat boots are not, from this side upwards, there is a supporting metal structure, so that the soldier can lower the weight of eighty percent." As for the magic ammunition problem, strengthen the training of soldiers, let the soldiers have a combat robot by their side, and add a auxiliary robot to help carry more magic projectiles. ”

"You're ready?"

"That's right, when I reorganized the army, I thought that if I faced a less powerful enemy, it would be good to use ordinary legions to complete the mission. Everyone else laughs at me, spending a lot of money to feed so many professional soldiers, training them to become professionals, sooner or later they will go bankrupt. ”

"But you're getting richer. ”

"If you have money, you have to maintain a state of war, and if everyone is at peace, these soldiers will eat for nothing. ”

"Why do you need so many ordinary soldiers?" asked Angelina suddenly.

"You know about the plantation, right?"

"Yes. ”

"In the future, some cash crops will be planted in the fertile fields in the wild, and all the grain will be produced in the factory. Actually, in my territory, there will not be too many peasants in the future. If you don't let them become soldiers, there will be no work to do, and won't they all rebel?"

"It's not a long-term solution. ”

"Of course not, I will expand the number of students enrolled in the Academy of Magic in the future so that everyone can afford to read books. It may not be that everyone can be a magician or a warrior, but after learning knowledge, even if they become a magic net mage or apprentice, these people are qualified to enter the factory. ”

Princess Angelina groaned, Duke Asla's ambition was bigger than he thought, he thought about what would happen in a hundred years, not in front of him.

"Will you personally send troops to attack the temple?" Princess Angelina asked suddenly.

"No, please give the princess an order for other nobles to attack the temple fortress in the New World. ”

"I heard, you sold a lot of equipment to the temple?"

"Yes, it's all the best. I also gave the temple half a year's rations. ”

"Understood. ”

Princess Angelina sighed, in this way, it will cause a lot of losses to the nobles of the empire. After the nobles who went on an expedition to the New World lost more than a certain number, they had no strength to compete with Asra for supremacy.

"When are you going to do it?" asked Angelina.

"I'm going to start building the Great Wall on the eastern seaboard, and I'm going to put it here for a while. It's going to take about half a year. After half a year, His Highness will be able to give orders. Now let's clean up the demons in the center of the continent first. ”

"Then you owe me a fleet. ”

"No, a hundred boats. Xia He laughed.

"So much?" Princess Angelina squinted at Xia He, trying to see something on his face.

"We are allies, and if you provide legal principles for my Great Wall, I will naturally reciprocate. ”

Princess Angelina was stunned, and said in her heart, when her father left, she let herself be regent, probably because of the support of Duke Asla.

It's just that my father didn't expect Asla's appetite to be so big.

"Then you write a plan about the army. I'm still not satisfied with what I'm saying now. My idea is a battalion of a professional army, plus a corps of an ordinary army. ”

This time it was Xia He's turn to frown, if it was equipped like this, the number of professional armies would still not be enough.

"I'm just suggesting, don't be afraid of trouble, in this way, you divide the legion into four levels, the first level is your current legion standard, and just reduce the staffing in turn. ”
