"There's some truth to what you're saying, maybe I'm thinking too much of Ant-Man. Sylvia looked at the map for a while before turning her gaze to Victor, sighed, and said with a smile: "Victor, why do you think that even if Ant-Man goes around in a big circle, he will definitely attack Centaur Hill?"

Victor shuddered in his heart and said quietly: "This is just a guess. In the face of an army of 100,000 murderous Ant-Man, I don't think it's too cautious to be cautious. ”

Victor didn't expect that Sylvia would notice that he inadvertently showed a little horse's feet, but he couldn't tell Sylvia that he had amputated Ant-Man's beard, and she was an accomplice, and he would not let them go when Ant-Man reacted.

Sylvia didn't continue to dwell on this question, nodded, drew a picture on the map with her slender white fingers, and said: "This mountain range is the junction of the Everglades and the Centaur Hills, the low-lying terrain of the Everglades is a large basin, the drop on the west side of the mountain range is about a thousand meters, and the cliffs are steep and steep. As long as I seal the entrances to the three swamps, no amount of Ant-Man will be able to attack the Centaur Hill. ”

Victor agrees that the entrances to the swamp are all slopes that are low in the west and high in the east, as long as a 60-meter-high fortress is built there and a 20-meter-wide trench is dug, even if the number of Ant-Men triples is not able to break through the fortress, which is the advantage of the terrain.

Silvia glanced at Victor and continued: "The mountain range goes north to the territory of the Kingdom of Dordor, where it divides into two roads, one continues north for 1,600 kilometers, the west of the mountain range is the Endless Forest, and the other is 400 kilometers to the east, and it is called the Boulder Mountains because of its abundance of stones. That area was nominally Duke Erickson's domain, but in fact it was a real frontier territory, full of monsters. Ant-Man would have to trek at least 5,000 kilometers from the territory of the Eriksen family to the Centaur Hills, passing through many monster colonies along the way. Now, do you understand?"

Victor understood what Sylvia meant, but disagreed with her, muttered for a moment, and asked, "Sylvia, do you think my heart is superfluous?"

Sylvia smiled and shook her head, her lips open, "No! In fact, before the ant plague broke out, I was planning to build fortifications in the northern part of the Centaur Hill. ”

Victor's heart moved, and he said, "You are targeting the lord of Dodor?"

"It could be the lord of the kingdom of Dodor, or it could be a monster or orc on the edge of the Everfree Forest. Well, now add Ant-Man. Anyway, after the forest people migrated, all the forces were ready to move on the centaur hills. Sylvia pointed to two places on the map and continued, "We had planned to build two large fortresses here and here, with horns on each other. Without the bricks, the project would have taken 10 years. ”

Sylvia rubbed the corners of her forehead and said, "Victor, you really have a problem for me. Assuming that Ant-Man does attack the Centaur Hills from the north, then these two forts must be built as soon as possible. Truth be told, it would be a struggle to build 5 large forts in a row, and the clan would not have that many soldiers to garrison 5 forts at the same time. ”

"So, I want to know, what is your basis for judging that Ant-Man will take the initiative to attack the Centaur Hills?" asked Sylvia seriously.

Victor thought for a while, frowned, and said, "It's a consensus that Ant-Man entered the Centaur Hills to forage for food and reduce the number of the same kind. But you don't think that Ant-Man only has this kind of behavior, do you? You told me that Ant-Man may have destroyed an Inhuman Empire, and that Inhuman Empire would not be unaware of Ant-Man's weaknesses, right? From this, it can be inferred that Ant-Man must have other offensive behaviors, otherwise they would have been wiped out by the Inhuman Empire a long time ago! In addition, the fact that Ant-Man leaders will run away shows that they are very important to the ant colony, and we have killed many Ant-Man leaders. Of course, these are just my guesses. But you're not going to put the safety of your territory on luck, are you?"

Sylvia was stunned for a long time, and said in annoyance: "Damn, I was blinded by the interests of the land and the rock bricks, I should have thought of it a long time ago." The Foresters may have deliberately spared the Ant-Man leader, and Ant-Men are also using the Centaurs to cut off the redundant kind, and they have formed a tacit understanding, and we have taken over the Foresters, but we have broken this tacit understanding. You're right, Ant-Man probably won't let us go. ”

One of Sylvia's slender hands caressed her fair and full forehead, and her beautiful eyes revealed a gloomy color. At this moment, she was no longer a powerful golden knight, a wise family leader, but full of weakness, Victor couldn't help but feel pity, he stepped forward to hug Sylvia's soft waist, and comforted: "Honey, it's not your fault, Ant-Man will eat all the crops, we humans are different from forest people, we have no choice but to kill the leader of Ant-Man." ”

Sylvia leaned into Victor's arms, feeling strange and warm, she was not without weakness, but since she embarked on the road of knighthood, she had not experienced the feeling of being cared for. After a few moments, Sylvia looked at Victor steadily, until Victor became a little unnatural, and then said viciously, "You help me find a way!"

Victor let go of his hand in a daze, not noticing that there was a hint of coquettishness in Sylvia's vicious tone, and coughed dryly, "Well! The Ant-Man leader is obviously not the cannon fodder of ordinary Ant-Man. Since you have already killed a lot, let's try to kill as many as possible. ”

"Of course! I wasn't going to let them go. What I want to ask is, what about the fortress to the north?" Sylvia said with a disgruntled glance at Victor. She didn't know whether she was dissatisfied with Victor's answer or if she was dissatisfied with him letting go of herself.

Victor laughed: "There is strength in numbers, and recruiting more people can solve these problems." With a sufficient population, the speed of building a fortress will increase, and more soldiers can be drafted. ”

Sylvia was stunned for a long time, and said in disappointment: "This is your way?"

"Is there a problem?" asked Victor, puzzled.

Sylvia asked rhetorically, "Let's not talk about food for now. Where am I going to recruit the population?"

"Aren't there many freedmen in the kingdom?" said Victor.

Sylvia sneered, "Free people? would they be willing to run to the centaur hills to work as coolies, would they be willing to join the army to fight the monsters of the Pioneer Realm? If they had such qualities, they would not be free people a long time ago." The town of Blackcastle takes in 120,000 people, the vast majority of whom are lords abandoned by other families, otherwise you think I would have raised so many people!?"

"Free people are so unbearable?" asked Victor in surprise.

"What do you think? The landless lords don't count, those lazy, greedy for life and afraid of death, and dreaming all the time are complete waste, and other lords are eager to send these people out of their territory. These people can neither build castles nor be soldiers, and no matter how much they recruit, it is useless. Sylvia sighed.

Victor was speechless, and he also admitted that not everyone could become a qualified lord, and that those who were eliminated were partly due to limited land, and some were indeed their own problems. However, the main reason for Sylvia's opposition was that she was confined by the vassal system. The lords of this world can hardly do anything without the vassal system. Victor wasn't ready to say this, the limitations of the vassal system were his chance.

Sylvia pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "The most critical issue now is that I don't know when Ant-Man will attack again. Since there is no better way, we can only give the territory in the northern part of the Centaur Hills to the powerful lords in the kingdom, so that they can build their own castles, train their armies, and become a barrier to our north. ”

Victor was stunned and said, "You, you want to give the northern land to other lords?"

"Victor, compared to war, compromise and cooperation between lords are the most common. In the beginning, in order to disintegrate our York family, King Lane only used political means to force our family's vassals to join other forces. If it weren't for Ryan's bad luck and meeting that guy from Neovist, he would have almost succeeded. With the three Golden Knights, I had no choice but to compromise. It's the same now, the Augusts are bent on our York family establishing a duchy in the Centaur Hills, and of course we can't agree to it. This time, I will give up the land north of the Centaur Hills to help the Senate resolve to be on my side, and the Augustians will have no choice but to compromise. Sylvia said, sneering again.

Victor's heart moved, and he asked, "How much territory do you want to give up?"

"A county is a must. Sylvia affirmed.

Sylvia's generosity made Victor secretly stunned, the county was at least 15,000 square kilometers, accounting for almost one-tenth of the total area of the Centaur hills. Sylvia wants to use a county to lure a powerful family to garrison the northern part of the Centaur Hills and become the northern barrier of her core territory. It is difficult to say whether this exchange is a loss or a gain. However, Victor believes that no matter which family, if they knew that Ant-Man might attack the Centaur Hills from the north, they would definitely not jump into the pit to pick up the bargain.

Victor didn't care about the lives of other families, his eyes followed the mountain range on the map all the way to the north, and gradually he had an idea, he said: "Sylvia, can you give me a small piece of territory on the northern border, close to the mountain range, it doesn't need to be very large, 50 square kilometers is enough!"

Sylvia looked at the place where Victor was pointing, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want that land for?" Don't look at the territory of Duke Erickson, in fact, there is not a village there, it is completely a wilderness infested with monsters. ”

"Uh, you're saying that Duke Erickson, like you, was just enclosing land there?"

"Phew, I'm not that shameless, at least I built you a castle. Sylvia said angrily.

Victor touched his chin and sighed, "Well, it's indeed a castle, at least the Senate recognizes." ”

"You know, I've raised some Dust Falcons, and these birds are very smart enough to monitor a fairly large area. I'm going to set up a sentry there. If Ant-Man really attacks from the north, we can prepare in advance. Victor went on to explain.

Sylvia's eyes lit up, and she said in a coquettish voice: "I'll give you 300 square kilometers of land, as long as you help me tame 20 dust falcons, how about it?"

Victor's eyes were silent, and Sylvia's repetition reminded him of the swindlers who sold the land of the moon.

Seeing Victor's disdain, Sylvia raised her eyebrows, and her snow-white little hand stretched out directly to Victor's cheek, and in the face of the upcoming ravage, Victor had no choice but to give in.

"Don't pinch it! Okay, I can help you tame the Dust Falcon. I can't guarantee anything, though. Those falcons are very dependent on me, and if they don't see me for a long time, they will run away. Plus, there aren't that many falcons at all. I can only help you tame 3. ”

Sylvia kissed Victor on the lips with a smile and said with a smile, "I know that taming the Dust Falcon is your bloodline talent. As long as these pets of yours can help my knight search for the retreating Ant-Man leader. Even if the Dust Falcon runs away, it doesn't matter, you'll continue to help us, right?"

Victor looked at Sylvia smiling like a flower, and couldn't help but be in a trance, unconsciously he and Sylvia were already so close.

"This time, I'll discuss it with the rest of the family. Whether or not you cede a piece of territory to another family, the land to the north is already yours, at least legally. My Viscount.
