[I don't plan to drag out the plot. I don't plan to finish the book in a hurry.,Well,There are misunderstandings of children's shoes.,I won't reply one by one.,I'm writing well.,That's all.,This turning point is always there.,The description of the big situation.,I'm just involved a little more in these chapters in this book.,Don't write it's not good]

"Yes, all I want is a piece of paper. Salin replied calmly.

"What a philistine mage!" said Stephanie. She felt very sorry for Ojavis, such an emperor was unfortunately short-lived. Ojavis, who was sick, was definitely no worse than Prince Sephiroth, and even surpassed his father. Chanak the Great's personal strength is too strong, and sometimes, his vision is not so far.

When a person's strength is at its peak, he often solves problems in a brutal way. However, who can guarantee that this power is truly invincible in the world?

Salin spread his hands and said, "What can I do to raise hundreds of thousands of people." ”

"So, how many mercenaries can you send?" Tiffany saw that the two sides had a showdown. First of all, ask Saleen what power he can use.

Salin quickly calculated and said, "If Your Majesty waits until the end of the year, I can send 50,000 troops." Together with the 10,000 people stationed on the border by the King of Rexshire, there is a total of 60,000 main forces. If you recruit some auxiliaries, you can make up 100,000 men. ”

"These 100,000 people can't be a price. "Stephanie wants to save money for O'Jarvis, and she's worried that Saleen will make up the numbers. More and more people will take refuge in Saleen, and there will be a large number of refugees on the side of Garulan. Qin couldn't accommodate it in the north, and there were many people who entered Phoenix. Phoenix is not a safe place, and sooner or later, a group of these people will come to Saleen. In half a year, Saleen's population is likely to more than double.

"Then how is it possible, I will organize an elite swordsman battalion, and the rest of the forty thousand will be built according to the specifications of Qin Yin's main force. For this elite swordsman battalion, His Majesty must pay in full, and His Majesty will be responsible for the logistics and pension of the remaining 40,000. As for the auxiliaries, it doesn't cost anything, and I will pay for Your Majesty. ”

Ojavis is accurate again, Saleen has no intention of taking advantage, and his entry into the Rhine Duchy is the biggest victory. If there is no secret agreement with Ojavis, then he will eventually withdraw from the Rhine.

"It'll be fine by the end of the year, but I want you to send someone first. Contact Rex's army, and if the Duchy of the Rhine moves early, you'll be responsible for going up. Tiffany's words are non-negotiable, and these are some of the crisis costs that Saleen has to pay.

"That's natural, Your Majesty asked you to tell me this, you must have brought the secret agreement and the deposit, right?"

"Brought. Tiffany said, taking out the contract that O'Jarvis had given her from the bracelet, this contract was not a scroll pattern, but a double layer of magic paper made of monster skin, and after signing, each of them left a copy.

The secret pact was written in great detail, and the two parties were Ojarvis de Grükos and Saleen Metatrin. Ojavis recognized Saleen's status in the Principality of the Rhine, and if Saleen could defeat the Duchy of the Rhine, then the Qin Yin Empire would never interfere in the political situation there. When Scochenia attacks the Rhine, Holy Rock will also send troops to help Metatrin in its strategic defense. The premise of all this was the intervention of the Principality of the Terrhine in the war with Carulan.

There are no loopholes in the secret contract, and Salin is satisfied with it. There is no mention of Garulan in the secret covenant, but Salin knew that Garulan belonged to Prince Sephiroth. This war, even if the Holy Rock City is victorious. The fruit will also be taken by Prince Sephiroth. The land of Garudan will be given to the people of Prince Sephiroth.

He and Rex can only go south and north, in the form of a pinch, and a small amount of profit is shared. Ojavis settled the matter of the Rhine with himself, and must have also negotiated the issue of the Duchy with Rex.

If he and Rex want to develop, they have to start with these two principalities.

As for the question of soldiers, there has never been a shortage of freemen on the continent.

What is a freedman? A commoner who can move freely between the various noble realms. These commoners had no obligations to the nobility, and all wealth was privately owned. Actually, this freedom is not pretty.

There is a good joke that Qin Yin's free people are not as good as farmers, and the free people of Yunliu are only a little happier than farmers. The freedmen of Skociana were as lowly as the peasants. The free people of Tangulas have no freedom at all.

A large number of freemen made up merchants, craftsmen, workers, artisans, and so on from various countries. In the event of a war, the freedmen were most likely to be drawn into it, and when the nobles fled for their lives, they would run with their peasants as long as time permitted. And the best future for the freedmen is to join the army, so that when they surrender, there is still hope that they will be reorganized by the enemy instead of killed.

"I have a request. After signing the secret contract, Saleen said to Tiffany's magician.

"Say it. ”

"There is only one way from me to the Rhine. That is, the offensive route of the Holy See Expeditionary Force. I wanted to build a city between Qinyin, Phoenix, Callouland, and the Principality of the Rhine. Every hundred miles between this city and Metatrin, I'm going to build a town to rest. Also, the town of Deep Woods on the border of Phoenix, I want to be the domain of my nobles. ”

"This ......"

"The nobles of that town have taken refuge in me. ”

"Well, Holy Rock will recognize your power. Tiffany didn't need to ask O'Jarvis about such a trivial matter, and just agreed. Because about Phoenix, even Prince Sephiroth is an attitude, and it's better to split it.

The Phoenix family has declined, and there is no longer any loyalty to the royal family of Glykos, and the nobles of Phoenix are very resentful of the Holy Rock City, such a place, it is best to split, and the land of Phoenix is enough to reward hundreds of nobles.

In the eyes of magicians, it doesn't matter if the nobles die cleanly, just leave the commoners. So neither Stephanie nor Tiffany had any objection to Saleen's request, and Saleen himself was a magician. Of course, I understand the other party's thoughts, so I also mentioned it very directly.

And just like that, Phoenix was betrayed again.

Instead of letting the two magicians live in the palace, Salin invited two men to the Duke's palace in Aini. Although the Duke's palace of Ani did not build a magic tower, it also imitated the temple of Sarin, and built a five-story building in the center according to the specifications of the magic tower.

Magicians still like to live in places with strong elements, so that they can practice magic anytime and anywhere. The temple of Saleen would not invite someone like Tiffany to live in it, unless these two powerful magicians were willing to follow him.

Saleen didn't dare to hope that these two men were different from Nicholas. Nicholas is already in trouble with his home, and he is in trouble with his country. The world is so big, if he hadn't taken him in, Nicholas would have ended badly.

In one fell swoop, Saleen was given access to the Duchy of the Rhine, and was allowed to build a city at the junction of the four countries, and was in a good mood. If O'Jarvis didn't sign a secret pact with him, he would have to have at least more than half a million troops before he dared to send troops.

On top of that, the town of Deep Forest was taken down and became its own territory. This place expands into a big city, and then opens up the Warcraft Forest, enters the Chaos Swamp, and through the secret passage, you can directly attack Skocina.

In the event of a war with Skocchia in the future, he has three lines of attack. One is from the Rhine, the second is from the swamps of chaos, and the third is from the sea. As for Phoenix, Saleen knew in his mind that leaving one of Rex's troops at the border would be against Phoenix in the future. You can't form an alliance with Holy Rock City, but you can form an alliance with the Bitterwater Commandery, and then the two families will divide Phoenix.

That night, Saleen had a good night's sleep, and the next day, Saleen called the nobles together early to discuss trade with the Holy Rock City.

Salin now has a secret treaty, and Duke Balde has also brought a letter of state, and there will be no war between him and Holy Rock City for the time being. Trade between the two sides can be scaled up immediately. Because the status of the Kingdom of Metatrin was recognized, the merchant ships of Salin could enter the port of Lianyun City without waiting for the merchants from the south to come.

Saleen was finally able to build ships openly, and he was desperately building.

In the winter of Metatrin City, there is a two-hundred-mile ice zone along the coast, and the main purpose of Saleen is to build warships, arm merchant ships, etc., and open up sea routes. Look for islands that are suitable for military ports.

The four dukes all had the money to buy merchant ships, but they couldn't afford to make them themselves. The counts and the smaller viscounts, the barons, could not afford to buy a ship and had to rent it here in Saleen.

Leasing is also profitable, and of course these nobles are willing to rent ships here in Saleen, which is much cheaper than in the south. Saleen also has an escort fleet, so don't be afraid to encounter pirates.

Salin himself didn't plan to organize a caravan, let alone set up any shops in Qin Yin in the south. As long as he has a fleet, and the fleet is his own, then everything is his own.

In three days, Salin prepared a ceremony that was not grand, received the credentials from the Duke of Balde, and he also wrote the credentials according to extremely strict rules, prepared a delegation of envoys, and returned to the Holy Rock City with the Duke of Balde.

An embassy is to be established in Metatrin City, and the same institution is to be established in Holy Rock City. The two sides sent envoys stationed in each other's fields, and there was no need to personally send people to contact Shengyan City in the future.

Saleen found that after he had drained the arrogance of Duke Bald, the man was still very easy to get along with. When Duke Balde privately discussed with Salin to buy a little magic core to bring back, Saleen happily gave Duke Balde a hundred magic cores.

These hundred magic cores are 20,000 gold coins on the market, and Duke Balder accepted it calmly. Salin didn't ask him to do anything, this way of contacting feelings was also normal in Qin Yin.

If Saleen asks for it in the future, he will not give Salin more than 40,000 gold coins, which is the rule. The biggest possibility is that Saleen will never ask him for anything, but let him owe this favor. Within this relationship, both parties will do something mutually beneficial.

Salin also knew that 20,000 gold coins could not buy a duke.
