Under the county order Luo Ming, this does sound a bit Lo.

However, Luo Ming is now just a nobleman within the principality, and it is definitely not comparable to the environment of a large unified empire similar to the Celestial Empire.

After all, even if the area of the entire principality is placed in the ancient Celestial Empire, it is just a medium-sized state - of course, due to the semi-centralized and semi-feudal system, there are many military nobles in the principality, and it is very convenient to switch to a wartime system, and the combat effectiveness is stronger.

It is definitely not possible to fight the entire unified empire, but it is actually possible to win by simply fighting one state.

Due to the vast territory and long distance, except for a few dynasties and periods, it was actually difficult for the great unified empire of the ancient Celestial Empire to concentrate the power of the whole country and transmit it to one place, and when confronting foreign enemies, it was often the power of a state to fight against an enemy country.

If it is not a national war, but a local war, it is not as good as a ship like a principality, and some large unified empires do not even have a system suitable for fighting a national war...... But that's off topic.

The simple size of the population, the size of the territory, and the mobilization system are all secondary, as long as there are more than 10,000 people, Luo Ming is very satisfied for the time being - more than 10,000 people are enough to support the germ of industrialization.

Even if it is embryonic, even if it is very incomplete, even if it is mostly the entry-level industrialization of artisanal workshops, and even the level of Britain in the early 18th century, it is enough for the time being.

In the short term, there is no need for ironclad ships, no trains, no Makqin...... As long as he can make a reliable grenade fuse and has the ability to mass-produce cuirasses and spearheads, even if there is an army of 10,000, the number seems to be more than the total population under Luo Ming, he will dare to fight.

Luo Ming also deeply realized that there are two important differences between himself and the protagonist who easily ruled a county.

One is that the other party has a short-lived festival envoy father, who will succeed to the throne in a short time, and can rule hundreds of thousands of people in two counties and seven counties at once, and he naturally does not have this condition, even if he completely sweeps the entire Carlo Mountain and pulls out every mountain person to make a head, the population will not exceed 20,000.

The second is that the other party is in troubled times, and once he performs well, he will be destroyed by Mu Xiu in the forest wind and encounter a joint attack by the surrounding warlord forces. And Luo Ming is in the Duchy of Lothar, which is generally at peace, and most of the forces in the entire Vanchy County are also their allies, so how can they be attacked if there is no big change?

Although Luo Ming will still race against time to deal with the catastrophe that will come in the future in the foresight dream, he is not as anxious as the enemy in the world.

If you compare it like this, maybe it's better to be yourself?

This is not certain, and it is not interesting compared to the characters, so Luo Ming put the matter aside and returned to the city with Ariana and the captive Pelodiana.

Whether it's a city or a tower, they don't have a name yet, and Luo Ming originally planned to hold a celebration after the completion of the construction and name it at the ceremony, but now it's not bad.

There were captives to bow down to themselves, the heads of enemy chieftains to be displayed in public, and a few false gods to be executed, which only made the ceremony even more solemn.

It's not that Luo Ming suddenly developed the technique of the Prophet of Unknown, it's just that he is convinced that Grant will not lose.

Back in the city, Luo Ming saw the mutilated body of the old ghost, just as he had expected.

The old ghost felt that it would be difficult to be forgiven if he fell into the hands of Luo Ming, so he resisted desperately until the last moment, and even tried to seize the opportunity to pull people on their backs - but Granty, who had already taken precautions, did not let him succeed.

Before a bomb that had condensed most of his body was completely exploded, Granty threw out his long sword and pierced it, not only allowing the pressure to leak out in advance and failing to fully explode, but also pinning him to the ground, unable to escape.

Next, she pulled out her spare short knife and stabbed it directly into the old ghost's eye socket, and the glorious fighting spirit poured in, instantly crushing his brain.

"I'm sorry, this guy won't surrender no matter what, and he still wants to pull someone back, and I can't keep my hand. ”

Grant and Luo Ming have been together for more than a year, and when they saw the captured Pelodiana, they immediately guessed that he must have a great need for this kind of "technician", and simply apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Luo Ming laughed, leaned in directly, and hugged her in his arms: "Although there are not many such people, you can always find them if you look carefully." I'm not a greedy dragon, I have to take all the treasures in my pocket.

But you are already my person, and if you are injured, even if I can cure it, I will be uncomfortable and unable to sleep for a long time. ”

Granty was amused by his analogy: "The red dragon on the banner is still your handpick." And you yourself said that the dragon is the symbol of the king—"

"Do you think I'm like a king?" Luo Ming said with a smile as a scoundrel, "I'm just a small nobleman, with a combined population of less than 20,000, and now I'm a powerful chief among the barbarian tribes."

Not to mention dragons, I'm not even a dragon cub that has just hatched from an egg, I'm a juvenile canine dragon at best. ”

Inusaurus - A hybrid descendant of a kind of wolfhound and dragon, it has no ability to fly and is small in size, but it is also a powerful magical beast.

Although it is unable to fly and has a bloated body, which makes it less mobile, and it is unable to go around looting treasures, as long as it is a treasure that enters its nest, even if it is a copper coin, don't want it to be handed over.

Some people keep dogs to guard their own treasure troves or to be bodyguards for themselves - because they will see their owners themselves as one of their treasures, and will not allow others to have a chance to touch them.

"But I'm not a delicate woman who has to be guarded by a dog dragon. Granty looked at Luo Ming's face and said seriously, "Are you underestimating me a little? No, it's not just underestimating me......

You're still underestimating my grandfather, the entire Dawn Church's thousands of years of accumulation, and yourself, right?"

"Underestimating...... Myself?" Luo Ming was stunned for a moment.

Granty wrung him straight - through the chain mail on his body, the metal hurt so much that he gasped unsuspectingly.

"Just a year ago, I was better than you, and this year, although you have made rapid progress and surpassed me, I have not learned much from you.

Didn't you say that you have some experience with the disciples? Then I must be much stronger now than I was a year ago, if you don't worry about me now, then what was it when you went to fight the cultist swordsman and the great demon a year ago?"

She pouted angrily: "Weaker than me a year ago, could you be sent to death at that time?"
