Chapter 316, three years of Pinglin, ten years of Dingbei
PS: Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass in the new month!
For ancient dynasties, especially traditional feudal kingdoms like Cormier, how to convince the great nobles to pay a large sum of real money for one thing has always been the most headache for the king.
It's unlikely that the nobles will directly oppose the king's orders, but they can make it impossible for you to do one thing!
The same is true for bureaucrats.
The bureaucracy is the same, and if the bureaucrats appointed by the king are not going to mess up, then the bureaucrats will often only have two ideas in their heads.
First, how can I make a political achievement for the king or the superior nobles to see, so as to get the opportunity for promotion?
Second, how can I do illegal things by not violating the law, and make the property of the king or nobles my own?
This is normal, the emperor has more than once told the forbidden army La-Endymion: people have a selfish nature, even the emperor himself is not exempt from vulgarity, let alone other human beings, tens of thousands of years of spectators on earth have made the emperor see through human nature: although a very small number of pioneers have shown very noble and selfless virtues, most of the pioneers will still prefer to leave their influence and wealth to their descendants.
Moreover, the strength under the fantasy world is respected.
So, is there any way to get the nobles to work all their way together?
Quite simply, pioneering.
This is also Aaron's plan, he plans to spend 1 year to recuperate, and then after the autumn harvest, Sunset's army, including the Ninth Shepherd Legion, will officially begin to march towards the Hurek Forest, and the army from the Purple Dragon Kingdom will conquer this land again after Ahsan IV.
In addition to the Hurek Forest, Aaron plans to continue his march and conquer the Thundering Peak Mountains to the north and east of the Hurek Forest until he completely controls these two gateways.
At the same time, Aaron also proposed a plan to recover Tifanton.
Tifanton is the gateway to the north of Cormier, a city located at the junction of the Thundering Peak Mountains and the Cape of Storm Mountains, which has fallen since the Goblin Wars, and the Purple Dragon Country has no plans to recover it, with a large group of human bandits and gnolls occupying it, and there seem to be many signs of Drow's infestation, and according to Ms. Raul's information, the large group of human bandits also has the support of the Santarin Society behind them.
It's the Santarinkai again.
As for why he planned to do so, Aaron was succinct and to the point.
In the period of unification of the ancient and modern times of the earth in Aaron's previous life (except for the Song Dynasty), national defense was absolutely politically correct, and this field was one of the very few areas where "there is no benefit in sight at present, and there is no benefit in the future", but it is easy to get everyone's support, and everyone is willing to pay a lot of real money.
If the "public security army" still has good profits, then the "foreign field army" has actually always been at a loss, you can think about it, you want to put the most elite group of people in your territory, the youngest and most energetic group, and the group of people who symbolize the future of the country all day long, let them completely out of production, and use the taxes of other lords to support them, so that they can spend their energy in the barracks all day long, waste their time, how much do you have to lose by entering and exiting?
Everyone understands this truth, but does any country dare not to raise an army for foreign fields?
That's the biggest fool, and fools know the consequences of abandoning national defense.
Combined with the "Reconquista" and "Gongwei Northern Frontier", it is difficult for the Cormiers to have a reason to oppose the princess and Aaron.
Gaining actual prestige, land, and wealth through wars of conquest was what Aaron needed, and he couldn't use his wealth to fill the huge territorial expenditures forever.
"I'll give you two years." Alice Serre gave a timeline: "I plan to lead Susar's army to recapture Tifanton in three years' time, and when the time comes, you will come with your army." ”
"You have two years to conquer the entire Hurek Forest and conquer the Thundering Peak Mountain Range, and as much land as you conquer will be directly sealed to you, I promise."
"Prove it to me, Aaron Salian, the future Prince of Cormier, the Protector of the Purple Dragon, my ...... Fiance. ”
The regent's daughter smiled and accepted the heirloom of the Salian family.
Since then, the relationship between the two parties has been completely settled, and Alice Searle can finally let go of any worries and completely surrender her body and mind to him, and the candlelight dinner above 300,000 meters above the sea and what happened afterwards will become the best memories of her life.
The effect of the dinner party arranged by the good brother of Slaanesh is obvious.
The next morning, Aaron came out of the queen's temporary residence with his waist covered, he went back and was so tired that he slept to death, and in the afternoon he was woken up by Alice Serre, when the sun was about to set, the two did many, many exercises in the house that were beneficial to the body and mind, and I talked sweetly all afternoon, until the night came, Alice Sell suddenly announced a strict curfew order, and the princess changed into a heavy black trench coat and a goose yellow princess dress, With a pair of pearlescent black silk pantyhose and a pair of high heels, the slender figure took Aaron back and forth in the dark and walked the streets, leaving their love in many exchanges in town.
It wasn't until the third day that Alice Serre, the satisfied and refreshed lady of the regent, officially announced that she had left Sunset Territory and returned to Susar, and before leaving, she left the purple dragon knight Ramsey and the purple dragon knight Havre to Aaron, and boarded the ship back to the royal capital with the rest of the staff.
Alicesell, who took revenge for personal gain, also took Charlotte away, and no matter how the eldest lady struggled, the princess insisted on taking her away.
Our girlfriend agreement is still valid!
Before the princess leaves, Aaron and Eleanor stand at the dock to see off the regent's departure.
Finally gone, Aaron, who had two dark circles under his eyes, thought that his legs felt as if they were wrapped in cotton.
When she was finally gone, Miss Eleanor, a smiling priest, quickly waved goodbye, thinking that it was best for you two not to come again.
Before leaving, Ian Hartsondo, the Grand Inspector of the Knights of the Purple Dragon, said to Aaron, "I wish you and Lucian another three years to live. ”
"Mentor's side, I can't separate myself, so I'll trouble you to take care of it." Aaron shook hands with the Grand Inspector without a trace, and a golden ticket with the emblem of Lady Joy was stuffed into Ian's sleeve.
The golden ticket with a face value of 3,000 gold lion coins made Ian frown: "The last Salian, please respect me, take care of the flag bearer, and provide greetings and benefits is my righteousness as the Great Inspector General!" Business! ”
"I don't think you can do well in this place, it's like a place of exile, and if you make a mistake in the future, those purple dragon knights who can't come from a good background will be exiled to you." The Grand Inspector said solemnly, "Aaron Salian, the champion knight of Oberszir, can he accept the trust of the organization?" ”
"Willing to serve the Purple Dragon Knights!" Aaron also nodded solemnly: "All for the glory of Cormier!" ”
Watching Susar's Royal Navy shore, Eleanor, who was standing beside Aaron, gently squeezed Aaron's palm, and Miss Priest said with a blushing face and meaning: "It seems that cats and dogs have been urinating in the corners of the town recently, do you have any clue?" My dear? ”
"I have a gut feeling that it could be a big golden retriever." Aaron looked at Miss Reversor and replied speciously, a smile on his face, "You know, my instincts have always been accurate. ”
"Hmph~" Eleanor snorted lightly, giving up continuing to entangle with Aaron on this issue, she knew that Aaron would not have had such a foundation now without the support of the princess.
Anyway, most of Aaron's time is mine, holding Aaron's arm, Miss Reverend thought.
Dare to come and grab my hostess position, this is no longer an ordinary Bichi, you must punch hard!
…………
A little more than a week later, in March, in Serre, the land of the red-robed mages, in a trading post of red-robed wizards.
Ichiathu Sam, the son of the god of Bann, sat behind a long table in the conference room of the Trade Post, and for some reason, he had always liked to be naked, and he was wearing a very formal aristocratic dress today, and his expression was quite serious.
Iziatu-Sham's escape from death in the Chaos Demon Domain cannot be described as a false alarm, and after he was involved in the Chaos Demon Domain that day, he killed it with his own strength, relying on the most Bane's divine power and inheritance, Sham did not fall into a particularly big predicament.
But it still makes Sam feel palpitations, especially when Ciric's avatar is completely destroyed by Aaron.
There was a faint fear in Ban's heart, and he frowned and looked at the trading post in front of him, always feeling that it was not very real.
Aaron's goal in the first place must have been me, right?
Jam thought.
Since arriving in Serre, relying on the people's faith in Bane, Sam has easily reassembled an army loyal to him, and the generosity of the previously affiliated merchants has also freed Sam from his predicament in an instant.
The intelligence system was restored, and Sim looked at the new information one after another, and muttered, "That's it, it's over?" ”
"I don't believe Aaron Salian must be brewing a deeper conspiracy!"
From the information sent, Sam learned that Kelburn-Blackrod, Leila-Silverhand, Erastro-Silverhand, Ilminster and others had all returned to their residence without incident, and the official news was that Ciric had taken five volumes and Erastro-Silverhand had been gifted one volume.
Silvermoon City was a sensation, and the Silvermoon City School of Magic immediately established a new "Astral Academy" to study new magic based on the second book of Salian.
At the same time, the intelligence system reported that Kelburn-Blackrod had been closed since returning to Waterdeep, and even the lectures had been entrusted to others.
The Lady of the Night Church announced that the Lady of the Night had received new powers from the Fallen Underworld, and that the Shadow Demon Web was mutating.
The red-robed chief Sazastan was injured and declared a retreat upon his return to Serre, but the six-ring magic known as the "Salian Exchange" has begun to become popular among the red-robed wizards, who pride themselves on their ability to summon a powerful Chaos Demon.
One after another, news from the outside came to the ears of Cham, and surprisingly, Aaron and Cormier were very silent and did not make any moves.
"What the hell is Aaron Salian going to do?" Sam took a deep breath of icy air.
At this time, Disma walked in from the outside, a strange dark green energy enveloped the body of the second senior, and the aura on his body became more and more powerful and disordered, but he had not yet touched the legendary realm, he came to Shamm and handed over the new information to the Divine Son of Banne: "The figure of Mansu, the lord of the Santarin Society, has appeared in Zambia, and he seems to have become the magical advisor of the Grand Lord of Zambia, Samaron Uskelon II...... Who is that one in the Sea of the Moon? ”
"Oh, Disma, it's very likely that we'll have to face the plural Lord of the Santarin Society Mansu in the future." Sam said with a sneer.
After looking down for a while, Bane Miko took out a document from below and handed it to Disma: "Oh, this is news from Susar, your mentor Lucian has recovered from his illness and has come out of the sanatorium, and it is said that the Purple Dragon Knights plan to retire him and give him the equivalent of the castle lord's retirement treatment." ”
“…… I know. Disma was silent for a long time, and then turned his head away: "That's ...... Well, it's long overdue for the stinky old man to retire. ”
"The good news for us is that Darksun has lost an incarnation in this event, and he should not disrupt our plans for the time being." Sam stood up and looked at the caravan in the distance, his expression always serious.
"The bad news is that Aaron Salion's power is growing, and the Reinsdorf caravan seems to have joined his command."
"The Righteous Gods, the Church of Our Lady of Silver, the Church of the Guardian God, the Nature Gods, the Lord of the Dawn and the Mother Earth Church, the Fairy Wilds, and the four powerful gods behind Aaron."
Sam slammed his fist on the door frame, and he muttered, "Unknowingly, how did this guy become so powerful?" ”
"If we let him develop any longer, there is a high probability that the kingdom will usher in a new turmoil, which is very bad for us."
"Strife is mine, not his!"
"Call Fu Zor over."
"The preparations for my ascension to the throne must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Updated, ask for a ticket duck!
