Hobert's intention to bring Audrey here is very obvious, Longtail Island and South Colson are Forth's "own land", and the entire "Earl's Light" will be handed over to Audrey at the helm in the future.

But the Principality of South Bailang is different, and in the future it will definitely become a kingdom and become his absolute base.

Hobart wants Conrad and other cronies to know that there will be two queens in the kingdom in the future.

He knew that Conrad and other people from South Coulson would definitely be more inclined to Forth, but as long as they didn't object to Audrey becoming another queen.

Hobart introduced Audrey to the high-ranking officials of the principality one by one, and the aristocratic education from an early age made Audrey's response generous.

She was glad to be part of such a meeting, which meant that Hobert was getting her to join the inner circle of the Duchy of South Bairan.

Once everyone was seated in the war room, the meeting officially began.

Audrey sat next to Hobert, but she knew very well that she was still a bystander, and she just had to listen carefully.

The first topic discussed at the meeting was the takeover of the San Nosse Basin.

Unlike the situation on Long Tail Island, the entire basin is mostly farms of the Runnes, who bought the land from the Doge's Palace, which means that they are the rightful owners of the land.

The basin was colonized in a different way than Long Tail Island, with most of the farmers being immigrants from Rune, including fugitives, former pirates and adventurers.

Of course, the most are the poor people in Rune, who can no longer live in that country, so they come here and spend a small price to buy a large piece of land, where they can graze or grow crops freely, and live in almost isolation.

So the first question for Conrad and others at the moment is: should these lands be nationalized? After all, in theory, the land is legal, and the farmers are mostly law-abiding and enthusiastic, so it seems a little inappropriate to forcibly take it back.

"The process of their purchase is legal," said Hobert, "but have you ever known where the land in the Governor's Palace of Saint-Nosai came from?" ”

Conrad said: "I know, it was the aborigines who seized this place and drove the aborigines further south, and it is also a colder place!" ”

"It's not as simple as driving away." Hobert had known before: "When the Rune came here, they bought the heads of the aborigines for one pound per person, and slaughtered them for two months.

"Those who fled further south were lucky because they not only escaped the massacre, but also the contagion brought by the Rune."

Audrey was a little surprised inside, and she tried to tell herself: this is the colony.

"Then the governor's palace set up here sold the whole basin to the immigrants who came after him for a price of one suel per acre of land. ”

He said solemnly: "These lands were originally robbed, and they cannot become legal because they were handled by the Governor's Palace, so it is no problem to be legally taken into public ownership."

"As for the recycling process, we must pay attention to ways and means, and we must not be as barbaric and rude as the previous invaders."

Everyone looked at Hobert and knew that the Duke already had a way.

"First of all, the land should be taken back and redistributed in a unified manner, which must be done!" Hobert re-emphasized: "I have seen it before, and it is a huge waste that such a good land is used for grazing in many places! ”

He then began to elaborate on the detailed arrangements: "The government can try to communicate with the local population, and the Duchy government will lease their land to house a large number of Beckland wanderers.

"We can give farmers some opportunities to take up public office, because we have a huge shortage of grassroots civil servants.

"As long as they are willing to respond to the call, we will train them to visit our other territories and serve as grassroots officials in other states and regions in the future.

"At that time, tell them some of the hard rules of the principality, as long as they are public servants, they must be citizens of the Principality of South Bairan, and as long as they are citizens, they cannot have more land than the quota.

"The Rune people who immigrated to the southern continent were basically very poor people, and most of them would not miss the opportunity to become civil servants.

"That would nationalize most of the land!"

Everyone in the room was stunned, this operation did not violate the principle, but also conformed to legal principles.

The point is that these immigrants have indeed benefited, and everyone here knows that the current power of the "founders" is in the pioneering period, and grassroots officials will be able to become middle-level officials in the near future.

You must know that of the 15 village chiefs appointed by Hobert in Jeffrey, those who are willing to go up, some are now deputy mayors.

Some of those who are reluctant to leave South Coulson are close to the level of mayor or deputy mayor.

In particular, Conrad, the mayor of the town at the time, is now the prime minister of the Duchy of South Bailang.

With such a high status, two years ago, Conrad didn't even dare to think about it!

Looking at the entire Northern Continent, there is no such fast promotion channel!

Therefore, Hobert is exchanging political interests for land, which is very cost-effective for both sides, local residents have access to political participation, and the government has obtained a large number of reserve grassroots cadres.

The people living here are immigrants and not indigenous, and in addition to being very proficient in Rune, they basically understand the local language, which is very suitable for grassroots work.

The only thing that is lacking may be that their level of education is not high, or even not at all, and it is necessary to cultivate their literacy skills.

In this regard, Hobert's team has quite mature experience in developing the literacy and numeracy skills that can be used for the job, and then learning as they work.

After all, as a village chief at the beginning, you don't need knowledge such as grammar, you just need to provide accurate data for the town government, and you can clearly convey the policies of the town government.

"As for those who are not willing to lease us land, and to become public servants." Hobert continued: "Just card them with citizenship.

"Without citizenship, you can't build water facilities on his land, you have to pay purchase taxes and customs duties on the purchase of daily necessities, your children can't go to school, and so on.

"If they change their minds, they can still have the opportunity to work as civil servants after they become citizens.

"But if they insist, they'll have to be isolated."

Conrad nodded, "I'll make a plan quickly." ”

"Hmm." Hobert asked, "How many people can be placed in the entire Saint-Nossai Basin?" ”

Conrad replied: "Tentatively, it is estimated to be between 700,000 and 800,000. ”

"So much!" Hobert was stunned, he looked through the information submitted by Conrad, and quickly found information about the population, the current population of the entire basin is only about 20,000.

In Hobert's view, this is a waste of resources!

Audrey on the side also realized that if the development of this basin was completed, there would be no more wanderers in Beckland for a long time!

She very much hoped that Hobert's policy would be implemented as soon as possible.

After the discussion of the first question, Donna raised another issue, how to prevent the attack of the indigenous people of the south on the Saint-Nossay Basin. What kind of policy should be adopted by the rulers of regions such as Mirhebang?

The San-Nôsa basin has mountains or hills in three directions, east, north and west, but the south is semi-open, with only some gentle slopes, where there are swamps, grasslands and forests.

The indigenous people of the Saint-Nossay Basin, who had fled further south over these swamps and settled there, often returned to harass the settlers of the Saint-Nossai region.

After all, in their opinion, these lands were theirs before, but they were seized by a group of people from the Northern Continent.

The soldiers who had been stationed in Angelu were not there to guard against enemies from other countries, but to fight the natives.

The situation in Mirhebang, Southern Hagati and Paraná is not the same as that in the Sen-Nosai region.

Some of these places are rich in forests, minerals and other resources, and some are located at the southern end of the Hagati steppe, which has good conditions for arable land and animal husbandry.

Therefore, Rune adopts the method of proxy rule here, for example, some companies of Rune produce technology, and local earth kings or generals produce slaves to jointly develop resources such as iron ore and copper ore.

In addition, Rune will dump his industrial products in these places, and constantly carry out economic plundering of these places.

Regarding this issue, Hobert saw that everyone's discussion was not to the point, so he said directly: "Everyone should be good at finding the fundamental contradiction of the problem when looking at the problem.

"Let's start with the question of the indigenous peoples, the fundamental contradiction of which is that the indigenous people of the former Saint-Nossai region fled further south and came into conflict with the indigenous people there.

"After all, the carrying capacity of a piece of land is limited, and the sudden emergence of some more people on a piece of land will definitely cause a shortage of survival resources.

"They have a hard time, so of course they have to come back and grab something to get by."

Everyone nodded slowly, it was indeed the case.

Donna asked, "Can they come back, become citizens here, and continue to live on their ancestral land?" ”

"This approach seems like belated justice, but it's not just a good idea." "When they come back, it may be more difficult to nationalize the land, because de jure they have the right to inherit it," Hobert said. ”

Everyone fell into deep thought, and this is indeed a big problem that has to be prevented.

And all of you here have a lot of experience in governance, and of course you know that sometimes "justice" and "morality" can easily make things worse.

Hobert made everyone think for a moment before smiling, "Aren't there grasslands, swamps, and forests in the south?"

"Donna, go and consult with Archbishop Simpson and ask him to send a bishop who is good at raising fish, cattle and sheep, and economic forests.

"Creating some jobs in the farming industry in the southern region can also provide us with the technology to bring the indigenous people together to do the work.

"How to do it, you deal with it according to the actual situation.

"In short, if you can feed a group of aborigines there, and you can get food and gold pounds with your labor, who would want to risk their lives to rob it?"

Hobart paused at this point and said to Donna, "If the natives don't trust us very much, then let Audrey accompany you to 'persuade' them, it will be better and faster." ”

At present, the aborigines and the Rune are almost a feud, and the natives will definitely think that the promise of the Duchy of South Bailang is a trap.

It took a long period of persuasion, and a long period of maintaining a favorable policy towards them, for the aborigines to come to trust the government of the Principality of South Bailang.

For Hobert, why bother with a problem that can be solved with extraordinary power?

Audrey was slightly stunned for a moment before smiling at Donna and said, "I'm very good at 'persuading' others. ”

Donna smiled and said, "I'll ask for your help at the right time." ”

For example, when Furth's sister-in-law was not in Angelou.

Donna said to Hobert, "The only problem now is that those swamps, grasslands, and so on in the south do not belong to the territory of South Bairan. ”

"Legally, that's not the territory of the Kingdom of Rune either." Hobert smiled, "I've known before, it's the territory of a local Bailang Empire nobleman.

"It's just that the East Bailang Company has many privileges there, but because it is too far away from the Northern Continent, the Kingdom of Rune has not made much investment, and the colonial army has no intention of developing it into a direct colony.

"Then this matter will be easy to handle, and no one stipulates that the Principality of Southern Bailang cannot expand externally, if that nobleman of the Bailang Empire has an opinion, then I don't mind expanding the territory to the southernmost tip of the Southern Continent."

Everyone showed a playful smile, one was the nobleman of Rune who came here with the most advanced technology in the world to establish a country, and the other was the nobleman of the Byran Empire who had no contact with the Byron Empire for a long time.

After occupying those swamps and meadows, it is estimated that the nobleman of the Bailang Empire did not even dare to let out a fart.

"As for the other states," said Hobert, "I intend to set up an 'outer cabinet' and keep these kings and generals in the city of Angelu.

"If they are willing to embrace the policy of the Duchy of South Bailang and surrender the ownership and dominion of the land, then after a period of observation, consider giving them a substantive position.

"If you don't agree with our policy, that's a matter for Schill."

That is to say, to forcibly receive.

Everyone understood the meaning of Hobert's words, and they should not be polite to these earth kings and generals.

After he set the policy, Donna and they had a guiding ideology.

So this meeting came to the last topic, and Cir found that the highland kingdom in the northwest, after learning that the Rune colonial army had withdrawn and someone was going to establish a principality here, seemed to think that there was an opportunity, and was contacting the king and the generals, and seemed to have a plan.

Hobert pondered for a moment before saying, "After all, the Southern Continent is their territory, and they should have known through some channels that I founded the country here, and also knew my relationship with the Balk family." ”

He paused for a moment and said, "Just assume that you don't know, as long as they don't cause sabotage in the Saint-Nosai area, don't worry about it for the time being." ”

It would be great if they could collude with the local king.

At the end of the meeting, Hobert said: "Tomorrow in the major newspapers of Beckland, the news of the declaration of war by the Duchy of South Bairan against the Vorsac Empire will be published.

"Don't be misled by this information, how to develop or how to develop, first establish effective rule, and then talk about foreign warfare."

Everyone said in an uproar: "Yes! ”

At the end of the meeting, Hobert took Audrey around again, but because there were Rune immigrants around, there was nothing special except for some ruined temples left by the natives.

After a brief turn, the two of them returned to Angelo.

Today's lunch was a bit monotonous, with steamed sea fish and cabbage salad.

Because the supply system has not yet been established in the southern continent, the current consumption of Angelu City has to be transported from Changwei Island.

Audrey felt that the fish was quite good and fresh today, so she ate a few more bites: "I didn't expect that establishing effective rule over a place was such an esoteric science. ”

The education she received since she was a child made her quite good at management, but Earl Hall currently only has a manor and no territory under his rule, so Audrey is relatively unfamiliar with it.

The morning meeting opened her eyes to Hobert's ability to govern, and in her opinion, the complexity of the Duchy of South Bairan was easily cleared up by Hobert.

Hobert smiled, "There are some tricks in this, and it's easy to master the tricks." ”

"In my opinion, it's amazing!" Audrey said seriously.

Then she put down her knife and fork and talked about another question: "We, well, I mean the Duchy of Southern Bailang, must declare war on the Vorsack Empire?" ”

"It's a deal." Hobert smiled: "At most, in five years, most of the scientific and technological level of the Southern Bailang Principality can basically be at the same level as the four major powers in the Northern Continent. ”

If a large number of university professors and university students were to be poached to the Principality of South Bailang by taking advantage of the war, this time would definitely be shortened.

Audrey understood what Hobart meant: "Sacrifice some people, save more." ”

"That's right." Hobert was glad that Audrey was now able to figure it out on her own.

Audrey did not continue the topic, but sighed: "800,000 people! If all of them had emigrated from Beckland, one-sixth of the cosmopolitan city's population would have disappeared. ”

Then she asked, "I have a strange question, there are so many hungry people in the Eastern Side, why don't they immigrate to the Southern Continent.

"I also asked Conrad after the meeting just now, because the labor of slaves was too heavy, their mortality rate was very high, and the population of the entire southern continent was not very dense.

"In the territory of the Duchy of South Bairan outside the Saint-Nosse Basin, another 120,000 people can be settled, and the entire southern continent can also arrange a lot of immigrants, theoretically speaking, there is no need to squeeze in Beckland."

"Because a lot of them don't know about immigration." "I have to admit that in many cases, the level of education can really limit a person's cognition.

"Most of the people in the slums are bankrupt farmers, people who have to sell their land to find opportunities in the cities because of unstable food prices.

"They hadn't been exposed to immigration before, they didn't think about it.

"In addition, they don't have the financial resources to emigrate, ferry tickets, food for a few months on the ship, it's a sky-high price for them!"

Audrey took a deep breath: "The authorities should organize passenger ships to send people to the Southern Continent." ”

"The authorities won't do that." Hobert sneered: "For them, the people of the Southern Continent are all slaves, and the number is enough, and there is no need for more slaves at the moment.

"And for the people in the kingdom of Rune, the cost of sending the poor people to migrate is much higher than the cost of leaving them to fend for themselves."

At this point, he paused suddenly: "Oh, by the way, it seems that in the early colonial era, they sent some immigrants to the colonies.

"It was said that they were poor men, and that they were not much better treated on board than slaves.

"Even at that time, Rune had a popular saying: Send the poor away, and Rune will be rich."

Audrey was stunned, and said unceremoniously, "Are they curly-haired baboons?" ”

Hobert laughed and said: "Your description is too polite, in my opinion, the thinking of curly-haired baboons is relatively normal, and that group of politicians is simply sick in the brain." ”

Audrey smiled, "You're right. ”

After lunch in casual conversation, Hobert sent Audrey back to Beckland, and he returned to Angelou to meet the king and the generals to-morrow.

No sooner had he returned to Angelou than Hobart heard the prayers of the "Land of Disorder", which was supposed to be Lawrence's voice.

He returns to the room assigned to him and arrives in the "Land of Discord", where he sees Lawrence's stars expanding.

Hobert spread spirituality and heard Lawrence's voice: "O Maker in the Shadow of Order...... Please help me tell Mr. Hobert that the Governor of the Fursack Empire, Jonas, wishes to meet with him. ”

Reclaiming the spirituality, Hobart understood that this was the Vorsack Empire's attempt to negotiate secretly with him, or to put it simply, that they intended to try to buy off the power of the "founder".

Hobert smiled: My previous judgment was correct, after the start of the war, it was indeed the best time to build a nation, and in the coming year, it should often be able to eat both.

After thinking about it for a moment, Hobert used his "travel" to a villa outside of Rockreal, and if he didn't say anything in particular, Lawrence must be here.

Lawrence, who was in the study on the second floor, felt the change in the space in the villa, and immediately greeted him personally, and the two of them came to a small reception room on the second floor to talk secretly.

Lawrence briefly described the process of Jonas coming to the villa: "He said that he had something very important to ask you, but he did not reveal what it was. ”

Hobert smiled, "A few days ago, I and the people of the Tony family just attacked St. Millon, the capital of the Fusak Empire. ”

Lawrence was slightly stunned: "He won't be ......"

He was going to say, "He's not here to kill you, is he?" But he also thought that as long as Jonas was still sane, he would not be able to do such a stupid thing, after all, Jonas knew that there were several demigods in the Balk family, and there was only one Jonas at the moment.

Even if an angel comes from the Vorsack Empire, he may not be able to kill Hobert.

"He should have been sent to negotiate with us." Hobart said, "You have someone call him." ”

If we delay until tomorrow after the declaration of war, Hobart will not be able to ask for a price.

While the servant went to call for help, Hobert asked Lawrence, "You should know the news of Rune's war with the Vorsac Empire, right?" ”

"Yes." Lawrence Road.

"For now, we're going to completely turn to the Kingdom of Rune on the surface." Hobert said: "But until we have consolidated our forces in the Southern Continent, we should not terminate our ties with other countries. ”

Lawrence understands that this is the core strategy of Hobart to inform himself of the current "Founder" forces, and to get the Balk family not to do anything that goes against this strategy.

In fact, even if Hobart doesn't say it, he knows this very well, after all, the power of the "founder" can influence the situation of the war to a certain extent, and it is not easy to completely break with one of the parties involved in the war in order to grab the greatest benefits.

Then Hobert added: "It is likely that the three states that you have infiltrated before will be peacefully incorporated into the Duchy of South Bairan.

"As long as the corresponding negotiations are completed, for the time being, let the generals and earth kings of these places maintain their original rule, and when I have completed the corresponding arrangements in the Saint-Nossai region, I will send officials to completely incorporate those places into the territory of South Bailang.

"When the time comes, one of the duties of the Balk family will be to keep those officials safe."

Lawrence said seriously: "We must protect them!" ”

The two men chatted for a while, and Governor Jonas had arrived, so they went to the drawing-room to meet each other.

At the beginning of the conversation, Hobart orders all the servants to leave, and "tamperes" with the way the sound waves are transmitted in the living room, so that their voices can only be heard in this living room.

Jonas, who had a round face and some naturally curly hair, knew that the probability of success in this negotiation was not small when he saw that Hobart was so cautious.

Then he felt funny in his heart, feeling that this duke must be too careful, after all, this is a colony of the Vorsack Empire, and the number of Rune spies is very small.

After the three of them first exchanged a few polite words, Jonas smiled and asked, "I heard that the Duchy of Southern Bailang is going to declare war on the Vorsack Empire?" ”

Because there was a big difference between Rune and Vusak, he simply used Gufsak, which he understood on both sides.

Hobart was pleased with this entry point, and if he had questioned Hobert's air raid on St. Milon as soon as he came up, the negotiations would not have been able to proceed.

It's not that Hobert doesn't want to admit it, but it's easy to get stiffer and stiffer on the subject.

"It seems like a definite thing." Hobert also released goodwill: "After all, the Duchy of South Bairan belongs to the Kingdom of Rune. ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they both tacitly did not mention the matter of St. Milon being attacked by the air for the time being.

But it was not mentioned for the time being, if the Fusak Empire freed up its hands in the future, it would definitely have to settle this account.

When Hobart was in need, he would also talk about the air raid as a way to provoke the Vorsack Empire.

But now, they all have the idea of working together.

Jonas breathed a sigh of relief from Hobert's kindness, and he naturally heard what Hobart meant: this was the arrangement of the Kingdom of Rune.

However, just in case, Jonas still needs to confirm Hobert's intentions again: "Do you plan to start a battle against our colonies in the Southern Continent immediately after the declaration of war?" ”

"I don't think we need to waste our time on such a temptation." Hobert said simply: "I will promise you now, in the Southern Continent, I will not launch an attack on your colonies in the central and northern parts of the Southern Continent for three months."

"But I'm definitely going to fight in the Northern Continent, because Rune's price is too tempting."

Jonas was no longer secretive: "We are also willing to offer some prices, hoping that we can reach some agreements, such as not fighting at the angel level or above." ”

This is indeed the most concerned issue of the Vorsack Empire at the moment, after all, they plus the limited number of angels in the Church of the God of War, they can fully cope with the current situation that the Church of the Storm and the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanic are not very active in this war.

And if the high-level combat strength of the "founder" participates in the war, then this war does not need to be fought at all, and it is good to surrender directly.

This was something that the Vorsack Empire had not thought of at all before the war, although they had received information that the "Founder" had dealt with the royal family of Fenepott together with the royal family of Rune.

But they guessed that it should be a matter of the proximity of the Extraordinary Trait, a common enemy, not a close cooperation.

After all, in the extraordinary battle of South Coulson, the royal family of Rune did not participate in the battle.

But what they didn't expect was that at the very beginning of the war, the "Founders" attacked their capital, St. Millon.

Hobert smiled and asked, "What price can you offer?" ”

"It depends on what you want?"

"Sarado and Córdoba!" Hobart offered his own terms.

At present, the Balk family has made some political and economic investments in three states, namely Salado, ruled by General Anthony, and Córdoba, ruled by Rivaldo, a nobleman of the Highland Kingdom.

The two states were adjacent and were colonies of the Vorsack Empire.

There is also a canton of Ovalje, whose current ruler is General Adrian, and is a colony of the Kingdom of Fenerport.

Jonas was stunned for two or three seconds before asking, "Are you kidding?" ”

The situation in West Byron is somewhat different from that of East Byrand, where the colonies of the Republic of Intis, the Empire of Vsak, and the Kingdom of Fenerport are intertwined.

And the colonies of the three countries are not a whole area, this is a country in the southern continent with a little in the north, a little in the middle, and a little in the south, and the situation is very complicated.

These two states were the main colonies of the Fersak Empire in the southern part of the Southern Continent, and without these two states, the Frasak Empire would have almost no influence in the southern part of the Southern Continent.

Lawrence on the side was relatively calm on the surface, but in his heart he also felt that the price offered by Hobart was a bit high.

After all, the appeal of the Fersak Empire is not to break out into a high-level conflict with the forces of the "founder", rather than allowing the Principality of South Bailang to openly rebel against the Kingdom of Rune and fall to the Fersak Empire.

Besides, they also have a new grudge that has just attacked St. Millon, and Jonas does not mention this matter for the sake of the overall situation, but this matter does exist.

Under such a premise, even if the Fusak Empire had the heart to cooperate, it would be impossible to sell such a large interest as a bargaining chip.

Hobart smiled calmly, "This is because you don't know much about the conspiracy of the Ruon royal family, and you don't know our actual position.

"You can go to the prayer room and report to your Emperor Alexei I, convey my next words, and then tell him the terms I have made, which I think must be very reasonable in his opinion."

Jonas was slightly stunned: "Please speak." ”

Hobert added, "You told the first emperor of the Vorsack Empire that we don't want George III to become a god either.

"Also, we know the location of the nine mausoleums of George III."

He leaned back in his chair: "That's all. ”

Jonnas's expression became very solemn, he could obtain some high-level intelligence at his level, and he knew that the fundamental reason for the Empire's attack on Rune was that George III had plans to become a god, and the Empire had to fight before this happened.

Then the negotiations with Hobart have completely exceeded expectations, and must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor immediately!

He got up and said, "I'll borrow the prayer room." ”

At this point, Jonas was very grateful for Hobert's previous caution, and was on the lookout for eavesdropping.

With such a high-level cooperation, in case of a leak, he could entirely become a sinner in the empire.

Lawrence smiled, "Please." ”

Although he didn't know the specific meaning of Hobert's words, just by looking at Jonas's reaction, he knew that this matter must be very important, and even report it to their emperor immediately.

Ten minutes later, Jonas came out of the prayer room, and he smiled and said to Hobert, "Please wait. ”

Hobert just nodded, not asking what he was waiting for.

The living room was quiet for a few minutes, and suddenly the space in front of them became illusory, connecting with the spirit realm.

Vasily, who had a cold face, a high nose bridge, and pale yellow hair, came out of it: "Hello Grand Duke Hobert, His Majesty the Emperor has sent me to negotiate with you. ”

Hobert smiled, "Please be seated." ”

After the four of them sat down again, Vasily did not have any tactfulness and said directly to Hobert: "Please tell me in detail about the secret cooperation between us. ”

Hobert didn't beat around the bush either: "First of all, it is necessary to keep it secret, there must be at least a demigod as a liaison on the side of the Fusak Empire." ”

"No problem, I'll contact you directly in the future, what is the contact information?"

"Get in touch through my messenger." Hobert recounted how he summoned his messenger and how to prepare three donuts for each delivery.

Then he added: "As for the specific cooperation plan, it depends on how much force the Fusak Empire is willing to send, and whether you are willing to agree to the conditions I just proposed. ”

Vasily immediately said: "When I came, His Majesty the Emperor had already agreed to your conditions, and those two states are now part of the Duchy of South Bailang. ”

Hobert smiled: "I will complete the reception in half a month." ”

Vasily agreed very simply: "No problem, leave the details to Jonas." ”

Hobert said, "Since you have agreed to my payment, I will provide you with the location of two of the mausoleums and the means of entering them. ”

Vasily bowed slightly, and then asked: "Will you also send people to destroy the mausoleum?" ”

"Of course." Hobart smiled, "We will also use hidden forces to try to destroy two of these mausoleums, but for both of us, just in case, we still have to find more people to destroy more mausoleums." ”

Theoretically, the destruction of one or two mausoleums should have prevented George III from becoming a god.

In fact, Hobart knew very well that even if the power of the "founder" did not take action, George III's plan to become a god would be destroyed by Klein.

But he can't hold this information and sell it for a very good price, so he will invite more people to dig the grave.

The only thing to note is that it can't be known to the royal family of Rune, at least not by them, and it's okay to be a little suspicious.

Often this kind of high-level cooperation does not need to discuss too many details, as long as there is an intention, it can be reached quickly.

And for this cooperation, there is more trust between the two, after all, for Alexei, the "founder" can interfere with Philip I's accommodating uniqueness, and it will definitely interfere with George III's godhood.

And for Hobert, if there is a chance, the royal family of the Vorsack Empire will definitely destroy George III's chances of becoming a god.

This is the basis of mutual trust between them.

After Vasily left, Hobert consulted with Jonas about taking over the two states.

Hobart promised to buy Jonnas's private property at a good price, but on the condition that he would accompany the Duchy of South Bailang to put on a play, with the troops of the South Bailang firing their guns from a safe distance behind, and the colonial army of the Fersak Empire quickly retreating in front, creating the illusion of being taken away.

Jonas's personal interests are safeguarded, so he is happy to do Hobert a favor.

Hobert planned to invite Georgina to take a look at the scene of the Duchy of Southern Bailang pursuing the colonial forces of the Vesak Empire after the "war" began.

It can also be regarded as an explanation for Rune's second technical support.

As for whether Georgina will see that the two sides are playing, it doesn't matter, anyway, Don't worry about the attack from the Fusak Empire in the southern part of the Southern Continent.

After the conversation, Hobert returned to the city of Angelou and laid out to Hill what to prepare for the army.

At present, the armed forces that Hobert can send to the battlefield are very well-equipped, but the number is a little small.

Now the Governor's Office of Longtail Island has begun to recruit soldiers, and these soldiers are all natives who have been allocated land and received tangible benefits, and the scale of recruitment is 5,000 people.

But the soldiers will not be able to complete their training until at least next year, and only 3,000 will be available to Hobert and 2,000 to be transferred to Angelou.

After all, in the South Coulson area and Longtail Island, a large number of extraordinary people have been transferred, and in order to deal with unexpected situations, some soldiers must also be left.

If under normal circumstances, these 2,000 people are not at all an opponent of the colonial army of the Fusak Empire, but now the situation is special, and only 1,000 people need to be dispatched.

The matter was handed over directly to Lawrence and Schill, and he returned to Longtail Island, where under his tutelage Foirth was promoted to "Recorder of Records".

After Furth had gathered his spirit and was in a very good state, the two of them had dinner together.

Hobert said as he ate, "From today onwards, you will record the demigod's abilities once a day.

"And I take a few hours out every day to 'travel' around the world to have a look and record the local customs."

Furth nodded: "That's a good idea. ”

"Of course." Hobart smiled.

At the same time, he said to himself: I am the one who has read the reference answer.

"My teacher, Dorian, would like to have a meeting with you," said Furth. ”
