Cotton Jack said, "Your Highness, how can you say that about me?"

"Huh?"

"I am not a loyal person in the first place, my ideal in life is to be a big pirate, who can crisscross the vast sea of stars and rob everyone who can rob. （）”

Snovis is defeated by Cottonjack, and he can't make fun of a man who wants to be the pirate king.

However, Cotton Jack's approach is indeed insidious, that is, to stigmatize Zhesu. If Zhesu came out to explain, then the forces outside the main city would not be able to surrender.

If they do not surrender, they will all die, and the Duke will leave a bad reputation if he abandons his army and his people, and flees for his life alone.

No matter what Duke Zhesu does, his reputation will not improve.

If this is not done, it is not very legal to receive the surrendered army, as well as the people of the dukedom. The main reason is that Xia He can't get it to his name justifiably, and the territory of Duke Zhesu is afraid that it will be given to the royal family.

Isn't that Xia He busy in vain? So Cotton Jack's method is to make Duke Zhesu have no choice.

If he admits it, he will surrender to Duke Asla, and if he doesn't admit it, he will never come back in the future, and his territory will be taken bloodily, and in the name of Asla, it will eventually return to Rhode Island.

"Then use your method, after all, I promised Asla. Snowvis knew what Jack meant, so he helped Duke Asla.

"Well, Your Highness's use of this insidious method will damage your reputation, let me do it. ”

"No, you can give me production equipment with peace of mind. By the way, my equipment on this side, use my alchemy factory. Help me train some alchemists. ”

"That's fine, it's done. Cotton Jack replied with a smile.

Snowvis can be fought for, not Angelina, Angelina is the one who wants to be the empress, and in the end it is an irreconcilable situation, and the two sides will always be hostile.

Besides, the closest ally in front of him is not a big deal to train alchemists. The alchemists of the royal family have it, but they are not used to the production of such weapons now. Having the dukedom help with training will save a lot of time.

And the people of the dukedom, with their salaries, went over to help, and they could also improve their alchemy level, so why not.

By the way, all of this is spent on Snowvis's money.

The dukedom doesn't care about the technological progress of its allies, for Xia He, the technology of the main world is still far behind, mainly because the technology is not good at all.

Magical creations are also much worse than the combination of Taoism and technology.

At present, these are all basic abilities, so if the alchemists in this world are flooded a little, it will be easier for Xia He to do things in the future.

There are others who spend money to cultivate, and Xia He certainly likes it. This is what Cotton Jack knows.

If Duke Zhesu escaped like this, the pressure on Snowvis's side would be reduced, and Xia He could accept everything directly. Migrate the people, take in the captives, send them to the other world, and replenish the power of the other world. If Xia He collects all the captives here, he will be able to solve the two defeated Merifin family worlds, so that the other side will become stable and can quickly transfer to production.

For example, on the side of the princess and the Muses, because of the opening of the Ten Thousand Realms Passage, their pressure has been reduced, and they are different from Xia He, who really controls the entire north and needs to constantly clean up the invaders. And Musis has never been able to control the south, he is really outside for a model of the Great Wall, and it doesn't cost much in total.

As for the princess's side, her strength is big enough, and her territory is not as much as Xiahe's, so it is easy to clean up.

Xiahe now has the Medirli Legion in the north, the noble legion, and can start the war to aid the princess. When the princess's side is almost cleaned up, she will concentrate her firepower to deal with the problem in the south.

Musis is not unlucky, anyway, his power is concentrated, even if the army of the other world appears, the size of which exceeds one million, it will not be able to defeat his lair.

Xia He immediately made a decision, and Cotton Jack contacted the princess again and offered to help.

Princess Angelina could see what was hidden in the depths of the gentle smile on Cotton Jack's face through the phantom magic array.

"You're so straightforward, okay?" said Angelina, depressed.

"Anyway, sooner or later, I'll have to say it. ”

"You've got a crush on something. ”

"Central Minerals, my lord, on this side of the Demon Insect Forest, build a city, rest assured, it is attached to the Great Wall, and it has not reached the area controlled by His Highness. ”

"If you need resources, you're going to get them from me?"

"Your Highness's troops are insufficient to maintain mining production, it is better for everyone to cooperate, I will help Your Highness clean up the people from the other world, Your Highness will open the mine, and the two will jointly mine. ”

"I heard that Medilli went north?"

"Your Highness is really well-informed, yes, Medirri's legion is clearing out people from the other world in the north, so my family is now more adequate. ”

"Why does Asra want so many minerals?"

"Manufacturing machinery, the pollution of the new continent is so serious, even if it is purified, at the beginning, it must be developed by machinery. Is it possible to let ordinary people come over to cultivate the farmland? I am afraid that it will reduce the life expectancy by 20 years. It is not impossible to let professionals farm, but when the Ten Thousand Worlds Channel is opened, it is not enough for professionals to be soldiers. ”

Cotton Jack didn't lie, Xia River now needs to invest a lot of resources to build the Demon Worm Forest, including the canal that runs east and west.

To develop the new world, there is too much money to invest, and he can't pay it all out of his own pocket.

Theoretically, south of the Great Wall, it is not his territory, but the Forest of Demon Insects is not the princess's, and that position originally belonged to those rebellious nobles.

But the canal is different, Xia He can occupy Yamaguchi City, the Forest of Demon Insects, but the canal must be used by the princess. Near the canal, the princess is also going to build a city.

Xia He built the most important city in his New World south of the Great Wall, and there was no way.

Cracks are important and cannot be abandoned.

As for the Forest of Demon Worms, in order to achieve the scale of the design, the hardware meets the conditions of Xiahe, and the funds need to be spent more. There is also a magic branch to be built here, which is the third seat of the Duke of Xiahe.

On the other side of Storm Point, it is a gathering place for scientific research-based talents, Sun City, and the magicians who come out basically enter the army.

On the side of the Forest of Demon Worms, Xia He has to do the work of popularizing magic, that is to say, he hopes that everyone can have the opportunity to learn magic, even if they are not qualified, they can also learn common sense.

The alchemy factory requires a lot of people with common sense of magic to work. They don't need to be able to manipulate magic themselves, they don't need to know the basic principles to manipulate those machines, construct life, and so on.

In Shenzhou, it is not difficult to become a professional. The problem is that with science and technology, the production of gene-improving drugs, the life expectancy of human beings, ordinary people can reach the level of professionals. Therefore, there are some lazy people who don't pay attention to cultivation at all. Anyway, as long as you spend money, you can buy genetic medicine, although the life expectancy does not increase much, but there is no disease and disaster, and you can stay young, so you are satisfied.

In this life, you can enjoy it well.

But all this can only appear under the premise of the explosion of knowledge. Shen Zhou doesn't need everyone to practice to have enough power.

In this world, the number of professionals is far from meeting Xia He's needs.

Now in his army, many middle-aged and elderly professionals are originally injured and sick, and their life span will not be too long, so so many legions look very strong, in fact, if he wants to maintain a full number, he must continue to produce qualified professionals to keep the number of his army at the current scale.

And this speed of hematopoiesis is the slowest.

The Forest of Demon Worms is not only about training magicians, but also about developing all professions. Because everyone's qualifications are different, some people are good at learning magic, and some people are just good at being assassins.

Teaching students according to their aptitude, making teenagers become qualified young professionals, and then joining the army, starting from the bottom, is the training task that the Forest of Demons is responsible for. On the Sun City side, it is mainly for training officers, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren must be thoroughly investigated before they can be admitted.

Angelina didn't care about the minerals, and she certainly didn't know that Xiahe needed a lot of resources to build two fortresses to nail the important areas in the north. It doesn't matter how many people come from the other world.

His Tower of Babel, the Twin Cities, the two fortresses, the Forest of Demon Worms, if you don't lose these places, everything will be fine.

The scale of the two forts is based on the Woods Fortress, which requires a large number of fortress guns, which can fire powerful cannonballs in a cheap way and destroy all the enemy's heavy weapons.

And the fortress cannon itself, it seems that the materials used to make it are not advanced, but in fact it is very difficult.

The fortress itself is to be combined with the earth veins to bring the magic array to life, one ring after another, forming a huge magic gear, turning the entire fortress into a whole.

The fortress cannon is just one part of it.

There are a lot of materials in this, which need to be accumulated over the years, if not, use time magic to facilitate it, and the consumption can be imagined.

The scale of the Gold of Time has reached the scale of thousands, and no matter which one, the number of raw materials is millions of times more than the finished product. After being washed away by time, what is left behind has the imprint of time, and the accumulation of history can give full play to its unique attributes.

The fortress materials of the Empire, which have been accumulated by the Empire for countless years.

Xia He is an upstart, an upstart, and these materials cannot be had.

He is also crazy about learning knowledge, asking for the reconstruction of the floating city, also in order to grasp the laws of this world in more detail. After the floating city is built, the infrastructure level of the dukedom will really improve.

Xia He borrowed 400 million gold coins, not thinking about making money, what he wanted was to cultivate all the people in his hands by rebuilding the floating city.

What human beings learn eventually has its own soul characteristics and becomes a unique existence. And all this information will be recorded by Fire Raven One and copied by other flagships.

In the future, the Star Fleet will have the ability to pass on knowledge.
