Coming out of the portal, Solomon couldn't help but frown when he saw his surroundings clearly.

The Bourbons' improvised stronghold in Liguria was worse than he had imagined, even if it was rudimentary, with only a wooden fence on the perimeter of the stronghold, which Cheng Dù and Solomon had fought for when they first arrived at the Black Rock Plane.

This means that the Bourbons never got the right to build a city here, and even Solomon built a small fortress after conquering several indigenous tribes, and the Bourbons still looked like this.

The Bourbon family has a large garrison here, and there is a team of sixteen magicians, including two high-level mages, Four mid-level mages and ten junior mages; a squadron of Kshatriya sword-wielding swordsmen, all recruited by professionals who have obtained ranks, and equipped with excellent equipment, such a squadron of sword-wielders can challenge creatures one order higher than them head-on if they are well-equipped and well-trained, and it is not impossible to defend against fifth-order creatures close to them in favorable terrain, and the Bourbons only have four squadrons; two squadrons of Vedic shield guards, Vaishya shield guards are good at defense, and can go head-to-head with the kingdom's hoplites; there are quite a lot of Shudra infantry, with a large number of brigades, but the combat power may be worse than the kingdom's previous second-line legion infantry。

In addition, there is also a permanent mercenary group here, which is a long-term employment of the Bourbons, and they and the private army of the Bourbon family take turns escorting the caravan to trade.

This stronghold can only be regarded as the most basic camp for adventurers, and the reason for this is mentioned in the intelligence before Solomon came.

Since Solomon was coming, of course, he also wanted to get a good understanding of the current situation in Liguria. So the Bourbons still honestly presented the relevant information.

There are six countries in this plane. It is in a situation similar to that of country X. The open and secret battles are endless.

Each nation has at least two or three Knights who are equal to the previous main Legions of Asturias, but not as powerful as the Knights of the Guards, as the kingdom's most powerful regular combat force.

There are very few non-human aliens in this plane, and they can be called extinct Cheng Dù, and only a very few still survive in the Fenrir Kingdom, and they are mixed with the human race.

And the royal power and secular power of this plane are very strong, but the divine power has declined, and the magic civilization is not high, mainly because there are far fewer magicians than the Keos plane. Moreover, the magicians have mastered magic similar to the ancient language, focusing on actual combat, and inheriting chanting, spells, and magic mediums, but they are lacking in magic research and high-level magic, for example, they are not able to develop teleportation magic like the Kaos plane.

However, the samurai and warriors among them are relatively developed, and the strong among them have mastered the appearance of the fighting spirit, and the six countries have so-called town-level powerhouses.

This town-level powerhouse is much stronger than Fadell's town-level powerhouse, Fadell is only a bronze-level plane, and this can be regarded as a silver-level, even if it is also claimed to be invincible in the plane. That's definitely not the same, so the town-level powerhouses of Liguria have the strength to challenge the legend level. This was admitted by the Bourbons after the Bourbon family's black Bo Shun Benedict after the fight.

This is also the reason why the Bourbons' stronghold in Liguria was so miserable, and when the Bourbons set up their camp, they were also intended to conquer and plunder.

They appeared in the Duchy of Saxony, where they were soon discovered by the Duchy because of their construction and reconnaissance, and King Feuerbach immediately ordered his Knights of the Fire Dragons to attack outsiders.

The Bourbons defeated the Fire Dragon Knights, and then Feuerbach sent the strongest two-headed dragon knights and the Rising Dragon Knights in the principality, and the pioneer pioneers of the Bourbons could not resist, and at the most critical moment, fortunately, the black Boxun arrived and deterred the enemy with his legendary power.

It was best for Ferdinand, the leader of the Knights of the Two-Headed Dragon Order and the powerhouse of the Duchy, to personally fight against the Black Wave Force, and the two sides decided that if the Black Wave Month lost, the invaders would leave immediately, and they would also hand over the secret that they could come to Liguria, and if the Black Wave Month would win, the Duchy of Saxony would allow the alien races to stay here, set aside a territory for them to build a camp, but not to build more defensive facilities, and allow trade.

In the end, it was Hei Bo Shun who had a slight advantage and won the bet, so the Bourbon family had the right of abode.

But the original agreement must be observed, and the camp can only be maintained as it is now, otherwise the Duchy of Saxony would rather fight to the death and ask for help from other countries to fight against foreign races.

The Bourbons thought twice, they still need manpower in the country, and even if all the strength is staked, it is estimated that they can only withstand the attack of the Duchy of Saxony, although Hei Bo Xun is slightly better than Ferdinand, but in terms of soldier combat, the three knights of Saxony are not something they can stop, not to mention that this plane is also used to mercenary groups to fight together.

If the other five nations also responded to the call of the Duchy of Saxony, then the Bourbons would not be able to gain a foothold in any way, so the Bourbons have only seen this miserable appearance seen by Solomon until now, and it is understandable why they have been discovering Liguria for several years, except for the gradual development of some trade relations, they cannot do whatever they want as they do in other planes.

On the contrary, the Bourbons had to deploy a large number of troops here due to the inability to build a fortress, and later hired the Tiger Mercenary Regiment, which had a long-standing relationship with the family, even though they had been transferred to participate in the Asturian nobles' hunt for William's revenge.

This is because the stronghold is rudimentary, only slightly better than the adventurer's camp, and the Bourbons must always send troops to protect something more important than caravans and supplies, and that is the teleportation array that can lead to the county of Mystri.

Although the Duchy of Saxony has made peace with the Bourbons and has trade relations, if the natives occupy the teleportation array, it is possible that the native army of this plane will appear directly in the county of Mystley, where the Bourbons are based.

Therefore, the Bourbons had to deploy a considerable number of troops to prevent and protect them, and if the aborigines really dared to do it, they could only destroy the teleportation array if necessary.

However, there may not be such a worry in the future, because the Bourbons have successfully established a pioneering company in Liguria in Asturias, and many merchants and forces have been lured by the huge profits that Solomon had achieved in the Fadel plane. Became a shareholder with money and efforts. There are also a number of outstanding shares that are also sought after in the secondary market, most surprisingly due to the frenzied acquisition of shares in Liguria Pioneer Ltd. by Franklin Bank. They had nothing to do with the Bourbons, so the Duke of Bourbon did not want to attract Franklin among the shareholders in advance, but the Franklin Bank scavenged seven percent of the shares from the secondary market and squeezed into the board of directors of the Ligurian Development Company.

With sufficient manpower and material resources, the opportunity for war was set off, and the Bourbons swept away their recent decline, and the day before Solomon arrived in Liguria, the Duke of Bourbon had obtained permission to form an escort in the name of the Ligurian Pioneer Company. And the funds and connections that several shareholders are willing to provide are also working, and even each shareholder is willing to send a small part of his own personal guard or mercenary group.

The Duke of Bourbon also began to use these funds and connections to recruit new recruits frantically, and the goal of forming the army was to imitate the musketeers of Solomon's new army, because this new type of troops is really easy to use, cost-effective, and ordinary people can have not weak lethality after training, and the training period is not long, that is, the musket is not cheap, and the best musket is only produced by Solomon's company, fortunately, the new shareholder Franklin said that he has a relationship with Solomon. It is possible to buy some through guò.

When the musket unit was formed a few months later, it was combined with the previous forces. and the private army voluntarily sent by the shareholders, the Bourbons decided to find an opportunity to take advantage of the war between the Kingdom of Saxony and other countries, tear up the original agreement to build a fortress, anyway, the agreement reached between the Bourbons and Ferdinand is based on strength and deterrence, and the two sides have not signed any magic contract or contract witnessed by the gods.

As long as the fortress is built, the Bourbons have every reason to confirm to the kingdom that they are the pioneers of the Ligurian plane, and then if the Duchy of Saxony really calls on all the aborigines to fight against the aliens, then the Bourbons will not resist, they only need to ask their related members to propose in the parliament that Liguria has great interests in Asturias, and after the vote is passed, the kingdom can take over the fortress.

Although the aborigines are strong, and the six countries add up to at least six legendary powerhouses, and more than twenty main legions, the Bourbons will definitely not be able to resist, but Asturias can barely resist, at least it is not a big problem to keep the fortress.

When the aborigines were forced to recognize the existence of Asturias in Liguria, the Ligurian Pioneer Company would be granted a concession for a certain number of years as a pioneer on the basis of the proposal of the Guò.

"Mr. Aglavin, how are you going to 'visit' this plane?" Solo was personally escorted to the Ligurian Plane by Krausa himself, and his father was presiding over the first board of directors of the Ligurian Frontier Company.

However, Kraussa didn't know that this board of directors made his father almost vomit blood in anger, because the two directors who originally joined were changed when they participated, revealing the real people hidden behind the scenes, which turned out to be the Byron family and the Medici family, and as a result, this board of directors became a place for the three dukes to fight and cooperate, and the Bourbon family originally wanted to leave the other two dukes to eat alone this time, but they didn't expect the other two to find two white gloves to enter, and they didn't show their true colors until they moved to the real character.

The Duke of Bourbon had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, and reassured himself that with the participation of these two families, in case of a major attack by the natives before the kingdom took over the fortress, the support he received would be much stronger, and the dry shares he promised to Solomon would also have to be amortized on their heads.

Kraussa accompanied Solomon to Liguria, although he was still a little puzzled by Solomon's change of mind, and wondered if it was really because of the 20% dry shares (excluding the proportion of shares, that is, if the company made a profit of 1 million, it would first offer 200,000 shares to dry shares, and the remaining 800,000 yuan would be distributed according to the actual shares, which is a typical power-for-money transaction).

But Klausa was clear about two things: first, their plan would have had it not been for Solomon's change of mind and the submission to a vote instead of a discussion, and second, when the Ligurian Pioneer Company wanted to obtain a trade concession as a pioneer, the Prime Minister was definitely one of the few people in the kingdom who were qualified to make the proposal inaccessible.

So whether Solomon decided to come and "see" Liguria, Kraussa could not refuse, on the contrary, if Solomon "looked" satisfactorily, one or two of his words could have skyrocketed the Bourbons' support for the proposal when it was voted on in parliament.

"In the name of the caravan, or in some other capacity, how about I send a small group of sword-wielders to act as a guard?" Klausa had to show his attention.

"No, I'll just take my people with me. Solomon shook his head, he had only taken two men with him.

One was Nigaul, who had taken refuge in him, and the other was Chebman.

Chebman was brave, but his current style of a pirate bandit and the musket army was a bit out of place, and Solomon simply took him with him this time, preparing to consider making him his personal guard captain in the future.

Nigaul was originally the second deputy commander of the secret guard, but after Solomon came out, the secret guard was only relieved to hand it over to Grah, and Nigaul also brought it out, just taking this opportunity to observe his loyalty, and then decide whether he would really be of great use in the future, otherwise let him continue to be the second deputy commander of the secret guard in name only.

The others Solomon didn't bring it out, Biskra Ullet and Red Lotus have been helping Solomon maintain his deal with the underground tribe for several years, and a large part of the high-energy magic crystals that Solomon can get now are exchanged with Mitaunos, Harpy Witch, and Medusa, and the danger of the underground tribe can be imagined, and only Biskra Ullit is competent.

And she was willing to stay in the dark underworld for a long time, and Solomon knew that she might have her own secret plans, as if she was looking for something, but she also needed to use her abilities, as long as she could secure her trade routes, and turn a blind eye.

Henry is suitable for leading the army, and is one of the bridges between Solomon and the nobles close to him, and he is not worried that Henley will be very biased towards his family, because Henley should be able to understand one thing after a few years, even if he sacrifices a qiē for his family, he will not be able to inherit the Spencer family, because he is the second son, only Solomon can give him more opportunities, so that when Solomon arranged the situation after his temporary departure, he gave the Musketeers to Angley with full trust and promoted him to deputy division commander, but at the same time left Leonis and the Guards Legion, Solomon hired Freas to take charge of him temporarily.

After a few years in power, Tiffany and Solomon have confirmed that the new queen is more suitable than Margaret, and Freyas is loyal to the royal family, not Margaret herself.

On the side of the secret guard, there was Grah, and the other legions outside were also growing loyal to Tiffany under the very different state from the Magritte period, and there was also the Church of the God of War in the country, so Solomon could come with confidence. (To be continued......)
