Juliel Hayden followed behind Presnaffa, the feudal lord of Bionde, and slowly walked up the white steps in front of him, his eyes looking at the guards standing on both sides as he walked, his eyes occasionally flashing with strange looks, and some very vague information turned in his mind,

As the family in charge of the Gallic Empire's conquest in the northwest region, Juliel Hayden will not take a look at this so-called remote barbarian just because of Presnaphar's recommendation, and the armor craftsmanship on the elite guards next to him can be seen that the strength of the Falcon Kingdom is extraordinary, a kingdom that lacks craftsmen and iron ore, it is like having congenital anemia, no matter how tenacious you are, you don't have enough blood, and you just want to keep yourself from being bullied, as for wanting to show your strength, it's too!

And these guards in front of him are not very heavy armor, but they reveal the extraordinary ingenuity of the craftsman, the front is forged with a whole piece of steel, smooth and hideous, he didn't know that this is because the fat man needs the armor of the guard, to have the unity of defense and mobility, the armor is too heavy and not conducive to action, and too light, it is difficult to make the guards who are good at melee combat get the protection they deserve, under the construction of several armor forging masters of Rui Erdian, in addition to the heavy infantry armor dedicated to close combat is as heavy as ever, the armor of other branches of the Falcon Army has been modified,

The first mate lost one-third of his weight and adopted a uniform veneer rolling technique, and the Guards armor that Juliel Hayden now sees is an improved version of this Guards armor, which is used for daily training and patrolling, although it is lightweight but very practical.

Although it was not as majestic as the double-chain heavy armor of the regular army of the Obaro Empire, and it was so thick and indestructible that the enemy was terrified when they saw it, as a barbarian in a remote area, it was already surprising to him that he could appear to have a single plate armor process that had reached the primary overall forging.

The equipment of these soldiers in front of him has already illustrated a problem, the forging skills of this kingdom are very good, and the potential is very great, not only the armor, but the gaze of every soldier gives people a feeling as sharp as a blade,

There is no doubt that these guards are not showboys, but real military men,

Because the arrogance of a true soldier is not needed to be on the face. It's something that comes from the body, it's the feeling of steel, like steel, daring to collide, smash, destroy, as long as an order is given, dare to rush up, even if there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of it

It was a kind of confidence and pride that defied the rules of this world, in their hearts. They themselves are the rules, and the sword in their hands is the ploughshare that builds the order of the world.

Their cold eyes showed that these soldiers were unruly lords on weekdays. And as the commander of these soldiers, the so-called falcon should not be far from there, a muscular macho man, a brute with a mouth full of hubris, or a pretentious fellow

Juliel Hayden had this image in his mind, of course. Julil Hayden didn't seem too concerned about this, after all, in this northwest, the Julils family is the uncrowned king. As the eyes sent by the family to investigate, the eyes he looked at this so-called falcon kingdom were also completely considered from the strategic aspect of the family's future.

At every step of the way, he observes and thinks about the country's military strength, or what kind of heights it can reach in the future, whether it is worthy of the family's support, and what kind of return the family can get?

If the Falcon Kingdom in front of him is just a country that has just been civilized, and the forging process is very backward, Juliel Hayden can think that there is no need to think about it, so that the barbarians who suddenly appear on the border will have several every year,

Most of these nations are races with inferior forging skills and no potential at all, and what they need is not the mercy of the Empire, but the sword with the wind and thunder to let them know the majesty of the Empire, the order of the Empire is not to be disregarded, and anyone who dares to resist will be brutally suppressed,

Just like the Fifth Army Corps of Fort Julilfor, which fought in the Slavic region of the northern border, in just 3 years, it has slaughtered more than 1.7 million Slavs, wiped out 5 Slavic kingdoms, and expanded the territory of the empire in the northwest region into a Slavic corridor about 1,000 miles long.

This is an excellent development opportunity, but unfortunately it has encountered the worst external environment for the family for hundreds of years, although the Julils family is also one of the wealthy families in Kyoto, since experiencing the big event that caused a sensation in the entire empire, it has been from the original stammering people, the wheels can break through the threshold of the hot first-line family, to now everyone is hiding away, even beggars dare not come to the door of the second-line family, a few years, although the family is still a great achievement abroad, deterring the group,

According to a letter secretly sent back to the family by Fort Juliel four months ago, he angrily stated that because of the intervention of a powerful and hostile family, and some traitors who had fallen into the wind, the logistics of the legion for the winter had been severely withheld.

The war in the north has fallen into erosion, the increasingly weak logistics line has been stretched, the soldiers because of the lack of clothing in the cold winter, on the way to the march countless deaths, although the spoils of war are still constantly loaded into the carriage, but the army is tired, completely unable to advance, in the cruel extreme cold temperature, can not exchange for cold materials gold and silver utensils, is not as valuable as a pile of broken cotton wool,

In this case, the efficiency of the soldiers' combat has become increasingly difficult, rather than continuing to take risks, it is better to temporarily stabilize the existing situation and find a reprieve to recover, it is precisely because of this that the family did not hesitate to adjust the strategy, spent a lot of energy, mobilized several years of savings, tens of millions of gold coins, and finally reluctantly let the empire formally appoint Fort Julilford as the first consul of the local area, and got the final right to recommend the new consul of the Nortown region located at the mouth of the sea, "What do you think? Presnaffa, who knew the inside story, suddenly turned his head from the front and said to Juliel Hayden behind him, "I don't dare to say anything else, but on the entire western coast, there will never be a second one with such strength, and you have seen it along the way, although it has just experienced a brutal war, but the country's ability to recover is so fast that even I am surprised by this magical spring" Presnaffa's voice stopped, and he said in his mouth. And the great thing is that this falcon kingdom is independent of the empire, except for the northwest coast, almost no one knows about their existence, they also have a huge overseas land, you should know, what does that mean!" "What do you mean......"

A look of heart flashed on Juliel Hayden's grim face, he was not surprised that Presnafa could guess the true purpose of his trip, the Pres family and the Julils family were already old allies 100 years ago, and many of the trophies of the Julils family, even through the channels of the Guò Pres family, both sides knew the roots, otherwise the Pres family's Bionde county town would not be so stable in the northwest region, and even a robber who beat up his house had not been encountered,

"That's right!"

Presnafa nodded heavily, and said, "This is a temptation that cannot be refused by the noble family who has been able to digest a large amount of loot at a low price through the underground world in the past few years! If you can really negotiate, your family can sell the excess loot from the northwest coast to the overseas continent without knowing it, not only can it solve the stubborn problems it has suffered for several years, but also obtain a stable source of profits." Even the Empire has no way of knowing how much interest you have with the Falcon Kingdom, so you don't have to pay the tax on the spoils of war one out of three, and you can imagine what a powerful support this wealth is for Lord Julilfor, who has just established himself in the Slavic region and needs a lot of financial support."

The booty tax in Presnafa's mouth is the practice of the Gallic Empire, and the legions responsible for foreign conquests need to pay one-third of the spoils each time they capture them, so most of the legions responsible for foreign affairs often replace the booty tax with a large number of captured slaves.

Slaves were a major feature of the Gallic Empire, and Normandy sold 200,000 Salanders to the Gallic Empire, not just for pure destruction, but because the slave trade was common in the Gallic Empire, and within the Gallic Empire, there was a slave trade in every city.

Take the imperial capital Paris as an example, in the huge population of 800,000, the real Gauls are less than 500,000, and the number of high nobles is less than 10,000, but the number of slaves they own is more than 200,000, slaves are a symbol of status and wealth in the Gaul Empire, and the first thing the imperial army does is to loot all the property and turn all the people above into slaves.

Every city had slave farms, and the slaves who were trafficked were of many races, from strong Slavs, to small and nimble Central Beans, to dark-skinned Gangnons.

They toiled under the pressure of whips and swords, paying the price of sweat and blood for the extravagant life of the imperial nobility.

According to the difference of personal identity and wealth, the number of slaves owned is also different, there are ordinary families with only one domestic slave, and there are also imperial wealthy families with tens of thousands of slaves.

Although the Julils family declined, they also owned twenty-six farms in the imperial capital and more than 3,000 slaves.

"I don't want to admit it, but they're qualified!"

Juliel Hayden hesitated for a moment, and his critical gaze finally fell on the two black-armored guards standing at the top of the steps, and fluctuated slightly,

If the fat man knew that he was affirmed because of the two guards wearing the first generation armor, he really would have the heart to cry (to be continued. )
