Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First Winter Dragon
"Your Excellency, what you just did may not be effective. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Angus grabbed Levi's arm and whispered carefully. "It's not that simple to recover them. None of these bastards are willing to be subordinated to others, and rebellion is basically no different from drinking saliva for them. Promising these things now does not mean that they will not be violated in the future, and there is no such thing as integrity in the lizardmen's dictionary......"
However, Levi's casual words choked him.
"Is it in our human dictionary?"
Angus's eyes widened.
"What do you mean......" He suddenly stopped talking, as if he understood something.
"As I said before, I didn't want to recover them at all, I pulled them over, it was purely due to a lack of manpower. All I want from them is to get through this situation. I've already said that, and if they don't know each other again, then don't blame me. Levi scoffed, "Now that I understand that trick, making a dragon army is just a breeze for me. β
"That's fifty-one dragonmen!" Angus was incredulous.
"What's this?" Levi raised his head, as if recalling the past, "I think back then, when our family was still a serious duke, not to mention dozens of dragonmen, there were more than a hundred giants pulling carts when they traveled, and they had to be mountain giants......"
"Are you sure it's not a goblin, or a nezumi or something. Angus has also seen the world, and he exposed Levi's bragging cowhide, "Even if what you said is right, isn't your family downcast now?"
Levi squinted at him, and he felt that it was unpleasant. "The downfall is only temporary, and under my leadership, it will soon move towards revival. When the time comes, when I go out, I will have to have a thousand ahead of me, not a hundred giants, but a thousand in front of me. Otherwise, I'm sorry for my status as a Grand Duke!"
Angus was speechless, "Your pomp and circumstance are more majestic than the emperor." He felt a thousand cows flying in the sky, all blown up by Levi.
"What I want, is it more majestic than it, am I the kind of person who is willing to be subordinate?" Levi continued to take over the topic, and slapped his chest shamelessly, putting on a posture of "who else can I be", "As for what that stupid old man did to my family, I really don't need to give him face, Emperor Edo is amazing......"
"Stop, stop. Anyway, Lord Archon, if your plan is to have them as a faΓ§ade for the time being, this is doable. Although these guys think very highly of themselves and are so proud that their heads are raised to the sky, there are not many who are really stupid. After listening to your words, I can still stop for a while. Angus hurriedly returned to the original topic, and he hated Levi's casual remarks, "but I still feel that it is a pity to give them up like this." Also, Lord Archon, the tribe of lizardmen they came from has a strange twist. Your method will work with them, and if you use it on other lizardmen, it might not work. β
"That's true. Levi nodded in Angus's surprised gaze, "This thing needs to be carefully studied by Lord Ben." But there's nothing I can do about these guys. If you want to recover them, you can try them. If it works, you're in charge. β
The surprise on Angus's face intensified.
"You-you're too generous, these are fifty-one dragonmen, and you're really going to hand them over to me......" Angus was slightly moved by Levi's generosity.
However, the little goodwill he had just given birth to all vanished in the next moment.
"Isn't it fifty-one dragonmen, I told you, in the future, just to pull a cart for me to open the way, there must be at least a thousand giants. A mysterious smile appeared on Levi's face, as if the days of prosperity were just around the corner, "No rich man will go and grab money from a beggar." β
Angus closed his eyes helplessly.
"If you dream, don't do it in the daytime......"
Standing at the top of the deck, Levi looked down ahead.
The dragon's head at the front of the sailboat was next to him. At this moment, it constantly tore through the oncoming wind. The whistle on the bronze dragon's head was specially installed, and there were bursts of sharp dragon moans. Starting from it, the wide hull of the sailboat, led by white sails on three sides, sailed on the nearly 100-meter-wide Donglong River, and pieces of snow-white water splashed from both sides of it, turning into ripples facing forward.
Standing on the bow of the boat, Li Wei looked at the acres of wheat fields on both sides, and his mood was much more relaxed.
I didn't expect that this other world also has this scene of thousands of miles of green yarn. Levi thought silently.
It's just that there is no ink in his poor stomach, otherwise he would like to compose a poem to praise and praise this great river and mountain.
Angus was behind him and began to explain to him, "Your Excellency, continue sailing down from this river to the side of Winter Dragon City. And there are docks everywhere, waterways are very developed, and there is even a saying that horses are inferior to boats. It is also by relying on convenient shipping that Winter Dragon City can have a population of 200,000. The grain, spices, and cotton cloth had to be brought in by boat. At the same time, the glass and handicrafts in the city are also transported by water. β
"I see. Levi nodded. In the backward Middle Ages, only in such places with extremely convenient transportation could large cities with a population of more than 100,000 people be born. He asked again, "What about the internal forces in Winter Dragon City?"
"You're on point, and here's the point I'm going to tell you. Angus coughed twice and moistened his throat, "As you can see, Winterdragon is the largest city in Nangalan. And here the situation is also the most complicated. β
"Broadly speaking, it can be divided into two different forces. β
"The first group is naturally this faction of local nobles led by Count Donglong. β
"I'm afraid you don't know that most of the nobles around Winter Dragon City have left their fiefdoms and settled their homes in the city. They mainly fell in love with the prosperity here and were unwilling to go back to live that hard life. Much of the food and cloth needed in the city came from their territory. For these reasons, Count Winterron did not dare to snub them either. In addition, when Winter Dragon City was first founded, there were two other families that made important contributions, and they were also recognized by the empire and received two baronies. The Upper Council, presided over by these people, is considered the most important force in Winter Dragon City. β
"Another one is the Chamber of Commerce.
"Nangalan's Warcraft trade is famous throughout the empire, and it is also the main producer of demonic wool. Therefore, there are a large number of merchants and chambers of commerce entrenched in Winter Dragon City. As you know, most of these guys have a lot of backgrounds. There are some that even Count Winterdragon has to deal with carefully. In the mercenary association, there are quite a few of them. β
Hearing this, Levi burst out laughing.
"Listening to what you said, how do I feel about that Count Donglong, who is a little daughter-in-law who is angry, she has to take care of it here and flatter her there, it's really pitiful......"
