"Hey, it seems that there is no way + to advance by leaps and bounds directly like before, this world with fighting spirit and magic, it is obvious that it can't be mixed with physical strength alone, so you can only stand firm first. Shen Fei shook his head helplessly.

In this way, Shen Fei followed this army and hurried towards the Delek King City, this hurried appearance made Shen Fei a little puzzled, since it was a big person, why was he in such a hurry? But Shen Fei didn't dare to ask such a question.

On the contrary, he was curious about other aspects, this so-called royal guard has never stopped in other castles all the way, let alone accepted the hospitality of the local lords, and it is extremely strange that this army did not put up a flag, every time it passed by those castles, the people of the castle were so frightened that they all shrank in the castle, and they were fully armed, but the first-class troops crossed the border, and the people of this castle returned to their original lives. This discovery made Shen Fei very stunned, it stands to reason that there is an enemy crossing the border, shouldn't these local officials come forward to intercept it? Even if they can't beat it, they don't dare to go out, but they also have to notify other places to get ready, right? Why not only did they let this army pass by and leave, but they also acted as if it was nothing?

On this point, Ruhr's explanation directly made Shen Fei dumbfounded: "The task of the lord of the people is to be responsible for the safety of his land, as long as we don't loot or plunder his land again, no one will take it seriously, after all, it is just passing by, who wants to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason? As for why don't you notify other places? Please, these lords want their neighbors to be unlucky, where will they care about other people's affairs?"

"Ah, aren't they afraid that the kingdom will be held accountable?" Shen Fei was stunned, the lords of this place actually wanted their neighbors to be unlucky? This is not something else, but a powerful unidentified army crossing the border! This kind of thing can be ignored? Aren't they afraid of being broken by each other?

"Snort. Ruer laughed directly, then patted Shen Fei's shoulder and smiled: "Boy, you are hiding in the country manor and don't know the situation, let me tell you, don't look at our Drake Kingdom is nominally called a kingdom." In fact, it's just a lord alliance, the king of Drake, nominally the king, but his power can only act on the three territories under his name, at most it can radiate the lords around these three territories, and it has no effect on the lords of other remote areas, and this is why we don't play the flag and don't contact other lords. ”

"Uh, it's actually an alliance of lords, how did His Majesty the King become a king?" Shen Fei asked curiously.

"Of course, it depends on territory and force. His Majesty has three territories, each of which has a fertile territory of 3,000 square kilometers, and in addition to Wilson Grice's Golden Knight, there is also a royal family + mage, and the top strength is definitely above the heads of other lords, plus the king has more than 100 silver knights, more than 1,000 bronze-level knights and warriors, and nearly 5,000 black iron-level knights and warriors, the strength is definitely second to none in the country!"

"Ugh. Since His Majesty the King has such a strong strength, why not directly unify the whole country and become a real king?" Shen Fei asked curiously, if he had such a strong strength. I have already wiped out all these lords, and I don't know if the shore of the land is not the king's land? Where are these lords allowed to be warlords?

"Hey, where can Your Majesty the King do that, when the Union of Lords was formed. There is an oath that the 135 lords at the time of the formation of the alliance must not be deprived of their titles and territories, and those who violate them will rise up in groups! But it only takes ten lords with the title of earl to unite, then the king is no opponent. And we are now at war with the Weilan Empire in the south, where can we attack these lords, you must know that the reason why the Lord Alliance was able to be established in the first place was that everyone was unwilling to accept the system of the Weilan Empire that the whole country belonged to one person, if the king dared to fight this idea, without other leaders, it is estimated that the nobles canonized by the king himself will rebel!" Ruhl said the back, his tone was naturally very low, obviously afraid of something, but the other party could even say such a thing, obviously the majesty of the king was not so great at all.

Shen Fei blinked his eyes, and then asked, "Are there still 135 lords in the kingdom now?"

"Hehe, I know that you will ask this, hehe, let me tell you, now the lords of the kingdom have long been too many to count, but ninety percent of them are canonized by other lords, including the king, 135 lords when the alliance was established, hehe, it is said, it is said that oh, the latest statistics, there are only 54 left. Ruhl said with a smug expression, as if it was a good thing he had done for so many Oath Lords to disappear.

"Huh, how can this be? Doesn't it mean that you must not be deprived of your title and territory?" asked Shen Fei curiously.

"Hehe, you can't deprive yourself of your title and territory, but if your bloodline is extinct, if you voluntarily sell your territory, then you don't have to say it, right? The Ruhr thief laughed.

Shen Fei nodded suddenly, understanding how to make the bloodlines of these lords extinct, how to voluntarily sell the territory, this method does not say that the people in this world, that is, Shen Fei can come up with a large number of them if he thinks about it, and they all do not need to use force, no wonder the unknown troops crossed the border before, those lords would have such a mentality, and it is estimated that they also found that the army did not loot everywhere, but hurriedly made them understand that this is a force with a mission, in this case, as long as they don't attack themselves, everything will be fine, no matter what tasks this army will have。 It's just that this kind of behavior of sweeping the snow in front of the door, if you give the Weilan Empire a clue and directly send a force to behead and directly attack the royal city, wouldn't it be a big trouble?

However, Shen Fei shook his head again, this is a world where individual force is greater than group force, it is estimated that there is a big + mage stationed in that royal city, then there is no fear of such a decapitation action, unless the Weilan Empire sends a strongman who exceeds the big + mage to attack, otherwise this kind of action deep into the territory of the enemy country is definitely a sheep's mouth, not to mention the reaction of the royal city, the other lords saw that there was a advantage to take advantage of, and they absolutely did not let go. And it is obviously impossible to send a strong person who is more powerful than the big + mage, otherwise the Weilan Empire will not still be at war with the Drake Kingdom on the border.

"That's right, Lord Ruhl. Since the lords' territories are so precious, why do they still canonize so many lords? It seems that if the territory is divided, it is almost impossible to take the territory back, right?" Shen Fei asked again.

Ruhl nodded violently and said: "That's right, that's right, as long as the territory is divided, unless there is a war, it is impossible to take it back, so the lords are very, very nervous about the territory, but because of the perennial war, if you don't have a group of loyal subordinates, you can't say that one day you will be wiped out, not only will you be killed." The territory has also been taken away!You must know that although our Drake Kingdom prohibits lords from attacking each other on the surface, everyone knows what is going on in private, otherwise the original 135 oath lords will not become 54. And in this worldly realm, what do you rely on to ensure the loyalty and hard work of your subordinates? Money, beautiful women, treasures, and beliefs are all fake, and only the land that represents wealth and status is real!"

"But in this way, with the increase of the lord's subordinates, isn't the lord's direct territory getting less and less? If the strength drops so much, how can he control his subordinates?" Shen Fei asked suspiciously, and directly changed the territory to Shi Gao, isn't it just like that tiny fragment of the World Realm. It's a problem with the ratio of the master's direct Shi Gao and the Shi Gao of his subordinates.,When something like the following happens, there is a problem with this ratio.。

However, this world realm has gone even further than the tiny fragment world realm, because the territory here has nothing to do with the original lord, and it is not like other world realms. After the lord divides the territory, he can still receive the annual payment, and there is absolutely no such thing here! Once you are canonized, the territory is yours. Whatever you want. And after you get the territory, you can continue to work for the original lord, or you can directly become independent. But if you choose the latter, it will definitely be condemned by everyone, this kind of white-eyed wolf is not liked by many people, and the result is naturally that the territory that has just been allocated is not snatched away all at once.

That's right, it can only be to start a war to defeat the lord to snatch the territory, and there is no possibility of depriving it with a will, and when you encounter this kind of white-eyed wolf, that is, whoever sends troops to attack and occupy it first, that territory is whoever's, and it definitely won't mean that you divide the territory that you have gone, and others will have to give it to you.

Therefore, in such a situation, no one wants to be this kind of white-eyed wolf, because only when you are in an organization and encounter people from other organizations can you have allies to help resist it, in this Drake Kingdom, there is no future for going it alone.

"Hehe, you're so smart that you thought of this very important question all of a sudden. Ruer first praised Shen Fei, and then made a mysterious appearance, leaned forward and whispered in Shen Fei's ear: "So, in order to maintain their status and gain more territory, these lords are ready to stop the war with the Weilan Empire, after all, the manpower and material resources consumed by our Drake Kingdom to send troops to fight are the private property of the lords, unlike the Weilan Empire, which can gather the manpower and material resources of the whole country to fight such a war of attrition." ”

"Uh, truce?Although this kind of war that cannot invade the territory of the Weilan Empire and occupy the land is getting worse and worse, what does this have to do with the lords wanting to expand their territory?" Shen Fei asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, you don't know what to do, that is, I, Lul, who has been fighting in the royal city for dozens of years, know the way, we are not only preparing to negotiate peace with the Weilan Empire this time, but also preparing to form an alliance to attack the Manya city-state adjacent to the two countries!" Speaking of this, Ruhl had an expression of reverence and admiration, you were shocked, and you were excited.

Shen Fei naturally immediately cooperated with a shocked and excited look, and then slapped his ass a few times before asking in confusion: "What kind of country is this Manya city-state, and can you actually let us join forces with the mortal enemy of the Weilan Empire?"

"Look at me, I forgot that you just came out of the country. Ruhl patted himself on the forehead before laughing: " The Manya city-state is not a country, but a port alliance, at the beginning it was a Mante, an alliance formed by two port cities of Yashan, and as their trade became bigger and bigger, more and more money, the ports in the coastal areas were absorbed, and finally it became a Manya city-state, which was usually based on the city, each doing its own thing, the so-called city-state council is in charge of formulating a unified tax system, formulating a unified monetary system, and meeting the enemy to gather soldiers and horses in each city to resist, or collecting funds from each city to hire troops to attack the enemy, etc., in general, it is a very loose organization。 And the reason why our two countries look at them is very simple, both countries are so uncomfortable that this war without interest is that they will not be able to uncover the pot if they don't come back from snatching some benefits from the fat and oily Manya city-state!"

Seeing that Shen Fei was still blinking his eyes suspiciously, Lu Er smiled: "Do you think this matter has nothing to do with us people?" Shen Fei nodded immediately, he really didn't understand what this matter had to do with him, he was just a servant.

"Hehe, not only does it have a relationship, but it also has a big relationship, you must know that this joint operation between the two countries is definitely whoever grabs it, and if you die in battle with the Golden Knight, Silver Knight, and Bronze Black Iron, how much can you grab if you die? Therefore, there are rumors in Wangcheng that as soon as the contract is signed, then a large number of military servants will be immediately recruited, and these servants will follow the regular army to occupy territory and transport the spoils of war, and this kind of greatly expanding the military servants is an opportunity for people like us. Ruhl's eyes lit up.

Shen Fei nodded immediately, he was thinking about how to gain a firm foothold, but he didn't expect such an opportunity to come, of course he couldn't miss it. (To be continued......)
