The episode of "assassination" did not change the fate of the Leighton Kingdom, and in the end, it was still under the siege of Thracian troops, or relying on the joint mediation of the four Golden Horde shamans of the steppe, it was able to escape the fate of destruction, or it was reduced from a kingdom to a principality, and officially became a state under the United Kingdom of Thrace-Leighton.

But the fate of the Leighton Kingdom has also changed, unlike history, this time there are not only the four shamans who came to mediate, but also the dwarf king and the dragon lord who came in a hurry, these two strong people are not neutral like the four shamans, but on the side of Leighton, so under their efforts, the prince of the Duchy of Leighton, perhaps called "Child?——e", did not marry Richard Thrace's sister, but married the dragon lord Rod's student, Druid Merline.

Of course, this made King Richard very dissatisfied, but in the face of the dwarf king and the dragon lord who resolutely refused to back down, he could only give up the plan to marry.

It is true that the strength of the Ice Sword Saint is above that of the Dwarf King and the Dragon Lord, but if the two strong men join forces, the Sword Saint may not have a ten percent chance of winning. What's more, if these three great masters, who are almost considered the highest level of martial arts in the world, start fighting, when they are full of firepower, except for the four great shamans, the rest of the mortals present will not be able to survive the aftermath of their battle.

Among these "mortals" were King Leighton, the prince, and Richard himself.

Faced with the two strong men who would rather fight than compromise, Richard had to give in and change his original plan to annex the kingdom of Layton through marriage.

The kingdom of Leighton had to cede an additional city and two mines for this, but it was totally worth it for King Leighton, oh, now called the Grand Duke of Leighton.

After all...... The beginning and end of the recent riots in Thrace City have reached the ears of the high-ranking people of various countries. Faced with a king who could kill his entire family of knights for millions of gold coins, King Layton thought with his nose that he knew what would happen if he married him.

I'm afraid that the day the marriage is completed will be my own death. Then when the child is born, the other heirs of the Leighton family will live to the end - others may not be so ruthless, but Richard definitely can!

Although it was only a "possibility", how could the Grand Duke of Leighton pin the life of the entire family on the "maybe"?

So even if he had to lose more territory and mines, he resolutely refused to marry.

In fact, it was precisely because of Richard's ruthlessness that he did not hesitate to use the favor accumulated by the ancestors of his family, begging the Dwarf King and the Dragon Lord to arrive as soon as possible to avoid accidents for him.

At that time, he thought that Richard might take the opportunity of negotiation to kill him directly, but he didn't expect Richard's idea to be even more vicious, and he wanted to swallow the entire Layton family with the belt bones......

Naturally, these things are not known to outsiders, and even if Volibel hypnotizes a maid in the palace of Layton with a shamanic spell, he can only know what happened during the negotiation, but it is impossible to know what King Layton is thinking.

Of course, the traversers don't need to know what this old man who has been demoted to the rank of Grand Duke is thinking - the main line of this world has nothing to do with him anymore, although he can live for many more years, until shortly before the Ice Dragon Rebellion, but as an actor who has left the curtain on the big stage of "World", it doesn't matter what he thinks or does.

In the future where there will be big dramas, he is not even a supporting role.

At present, the most important task for the traversers is to promote the infrastructure of the Tara Khan Territory and strengthen their hard power.

To fight Thrace, which sooner or later will start a war on the entire western continent, it will take great strength. Theoretically, the time-travelers are the most reliable to work hard to level up, but when they reach level 30, the speed of gaining experience is greatly reduced - there are not so many advanced tasks to do in this world, and those tasks that are not difficult enough can not be reached until three or four years later, and no one will be able to reach level 50.

According to this trend, it is really difficult to rely on the strength of the traversers to fight Thrace. And with Thrace...... Looking at what happened to the Edward family, you can see that this idea is not an ordinary stupidity, but a stupid person at the level of intellectual retardation.

In that case, there is only one solution left.

On the one hand, try to delay Thrace as much time as possible, and on the other hand, try to increase the strength of Tara Khan, so that when the time comes, he will have enough strength to protect himself.

After all, Tara Khan is only a border territory in the north of the Terrela Kingdom, according to normal development, the main battlefield of Thrace and Trella is in the west of the kingdom, and the area bordering the Terrea Kingdom and the Molai Commercial Federation, at that time, two of the three offensive routes of the empire will pass here, and only one surprise army will go from Tara Khan.

In other words, what everyone has to do is to strengthen the strength of the Tara Khan Command and ensure that the Thracian surprise army can be defeated at that time.

...... Suppose Thrace would still send troops to attack when they saw that the Tara Khan was prosperous.

To do this, the traversers need to do two things, the first is to improve the livelihood of the people in the Tara Khan to promote population growth, and the second is to work hard to train elite troops to prepare for war.

The difficulty of these two aspects of the work is different, and the second aspect is relatively easy, and the traversers do not intend to train too many troops - they have a very uniform understanding of the army, and it is not much more expensive. Xiang Yu only needs tens of thousands of people to defeat Liu Bang's hundreds of thousands of troops, Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 people can go on the Northern Expedition, Liu Bei fought a lifetime of battles, and the only time that the soldiers were not much less than the enemy was Yiling...... Since ancient times, leading a huge army to fight, in fact, losing more than winning, is really the skill of "commanding a super-large army", and few people in ancient and modern China and abroad have really pointed it out.

So they decided to train only a thousand people, three hundred cavalry, seven hundred infantry.

The number of troops of 1,000 people is really not large, with the two instructors of Sean (Lixiao) and Harry (Jaime), plus the assistance of traversers who also have military backgrounds such as chengguan and assistant police, as well as the original military talents of the Tara Khan Command, it is enough to train this army.

In contrast, the real problem lies in people's livelihood.

How to promote the infrastructure construction of the Tara Khanate, improve the living standards and happiness index of the people of Tara Khan, generate centripetal force and cohesion, and even build the spiritual civilization of Tara Khan...... This is an extremely difficult thing to do.

In terms of this work, even if there are more people, it will not be enough.
