Fishing Druid in Another World
Chapter 341: Free Earl
The Snow Moss Tribe was the first.
Its conquest process was quickly standardized by Priest Luo, who was good at summarizing experience.
Priest Luo's system has a great advantage, that is, super centralization.
One vision, one voice.
His will was implemented unconditionally, and his orders were executed meticulously.
Therefore, his summary was equivalent to the team completing the summary and improvement.
The Snow Claw Tribe, the Fang Tribe, the Cangmu Tribe, the Sky Eagle Tribe, the Giant Branch Tribe... swept through one by one, relying on this fresh template, constantly fine-tuning, striving for excellence, and repeating success.
The biggest problem during the period did not come from the barbarians, but from himself.
Due to the shortage of supernatural power, he was on the verge of being eaten to death.
But it was finally solved.
Because he borrowed a sum of resources from Black Robo through the cult Robo, plugging the huge hole in the rising period of his career and the short-term investment that could not see returns.
In just one month, he swept through twenty-one tribes, an average of one every day and a half.
In the end, they obtained more than 12,000 skeleton heavy-armored warriors and six times the population. The cattle and sheep livestock were close to 200,000.
What does this mean? Simply put, as long as Priest Luo completes the digestion, it will be the second Grand Duke of Malos, and it has the production and war potential comparable to the entire kingdom.
Will the Aurora Society, or even the Holy Will, just sit back and watch Priest Luo gain a lot of wealth?
Of course not.
They did take action, but due to several reasons, they ultimately failed to play a very effective role.
First, Solon Perros, one of the operating officers of the Virtual Kingdom of God and the governor of the terminal star of the Kingdom of God on Aleks, where Priest Luo descended, did not follow the standard process for his own selfish reasons, but tried to cover up the problem and report it after solving it.
His behavior caused the Virtual Kingdom of God to fail to strike hard and wipe it out during the golden period of eliminating the disaster.
Secondly, Priest Luo showed unparalleled control, efficiency and secrecy.
For example, livestock, except for a group of selective breeding stock, all others were killed.
This large-scale, planned slaughter not only greatly promoted the absorption of dark power, but also reduced the difficulty of logistics and the risk of exposure.
After processing, all the corpses were put into the void warehouse.
The void was cold and had its own ultra-low temperature refrigeration function.
The personnel were detained in an alternative concentration camp.
Because they were stamped with the thought stamp and had enough undead guards to look after them, they did not accompany the team throughout the whole process, or were sent back to the Ice Fortress.
This played a certain role in confusing.
For example, looking down from the air, many tribes seemed to exist, but in fact they had long become concentration camps, but if you don't pay attention to the details, you can't see it at all.
Moreover, it was the coldest season of the year, and there was little communication between the tribes, whether civil or military, and they were all hibernating.
In short, the effective strategy of Priest Luo greatly delayed the acquisition of real intelligence. When he found the abnormality, Priest Luo had already entered the last few days of the end, and it was too late to curb it.
The third major reason is that Priest Luo acted with a good sense of proportion and stopped at the right time.
It was too late, but Solon still took action, specifically asking the Ice Wolf Tribe of the large tribe to organize a raid.
It can be said that if Priest Luo had been more greedy, or if his leadership ability had been weaker, at least in terms of population, he would have suffered a loss of nearly half.
Because the combat power of those concentration camps could not match the famous wolf cavalry of the Ice Wolf Tribe.
However, Priest Luo stopped in time. Due to his strong leadership and communication capabilities, the concentration camps set out at the same time and arrived at the Ice Fortress three to five days in advance. Now the wolf cavalry could not move.
The Ice Fortress is called a fortress for a reason. The central magic tower is far more powerful than the general wizard tower in terms of combat capability.
In fact, the Ice Fortress is both a dark well and a super mortar like a planetary thruster.
The map cannon it fired could not withstand the extraordinary legion.
The free earldom promised by Grand Duke Malos is no more than 300 square kilometers.
For this purpose, Priest Luo planned a piece of land of 15×20 kilometers, which is not regular in detail. After all, its boundary line is drawn in combination with the terrain, and it can only be said to be roughly square.
What shocked the friendly countries again was that Priest Luo was extremely greedy and enclosed the entire territory with a towering obelisk!
Not to mention the amount of work, the intention shown by this operation alone is unprecedented and unique.
Sure enough, more operations came soon.
The earth was pulled up!
Priest Luo did something that only gods can do in general, lifting the entire area nearly 100 meters off the ground.
The obelisk arranged in advance was to pave the way for this super-large spell.
And the key is that he borrowed enough extraordinary energy loans from Hei Luobo.
Aren't you going to cause trouble? Then just be a conspicuous bag, and do whatever you want!
I didn't do this before because I was short of people.
Once I did it, it would be hard to get more people. After all, they would be closely watched by all forces, and it would be hard to make a fortune quietly.
Now, with more than 60,000 people and more than 10,000 soldiers, I need to defend and digest them, and achieve the goal of making trouble at the same time. Isn't it just right to do it this way?
The Earth Shaman's talent was brought to the extreme, and he took the opportunity to break through. This super landmark named "Freedom Heights", a man-made creation, is a legendary proof.
It is also the most grand and legendary proof in history.
There are faults around the highlands, like a canyon, more than 100 meters deep, dozens of meters wide, and natural city defense trenches.
Afterwards, relying on the obelisk, the blockhouse became a barrier. The obelisk is not only the outer node of the super magic circle, but also a powerful defensive weapon that can emit elemental rays to deal with the invading enemy.
In the territory, magic clouds and ecological domes are used to adjust the temperature, humidity, and sunlight, entering spring in advance, and can maintain spring.
At the same time, the technology and equipment from the Crown City of Honghuang Star also began to land and exert their strength.
Thinking steel stamp + brain chip not only ensures the loyalty of the two-legged cattle and horses, but also makes them end their barbarity overnight and become qualified tools.
Naked slavery?
Yes, but as long as the loyalty to the monarch is put aside, the material enjoyment and freedom of the two-legged cattle and horses are envied by the small lords of this world.
To put it simply, except for being someone's dog, the rest is much better than the so-called free people's treatment.
The magic mist is shrouded, and the changes inside are constantly changing, which cannot be seen from the outside.
The Ice Fortress has become its only gateway, spanning a viaduct with a width of dozens of meters, spanning between the fortress and the mountain cliffs rising from the ground.
There is no other way to get up such an air bridge except flying or taking the right path or using magic.
Grand Duke Malos was made very passive by the operation of priest Luo.
It is true that he acted on his own initiative. He did not follow the procedures and just circled the land and isolated it on his own initiative. The wind and rain can enter, but the king and the grand duke cannot enter.
It is also true that he is self-disciplined and measured. Such operation is equivalent to showing that he has no ambition to expand.
After all, even a fool can see that such a big move would cost a lot and be unthinkable, and it was just a surprise attack. It was better to get it done first, otherwise it would be blocked by many parties and the plan would most likely fail.
Although it has been done now, if we want to do similar operations again, it will be several times more difficult just because of external obstruction.
Because of this, he wanted to be careful and restrained his greed.
This made it difficult for Grand Duke Malos to get angry.
Just because the process was not followed, he had to be scolded? This kind of small mistake can't punish a big crime, especially when priest Luo swept the Frost Wind Grassland. He turned a blind eye to such achievements and grabbed the small braid to make things difficult. Grand Duke Malos is not so stupid.
Not to mention him now, even if the Grand Duchy is running well and considering the overall situation, he can't make things difficult for this reason. He can only use the relevant rituals of the backup to remind and knock openly and secretly, give each other a way out, and save the face of both parties.
In the final analysis, the opponent is too strong, a double-edged sword, how can it be used without cost? Especially since he is very weak, the current result is already good.
To be fair, Priest Luo has a clear conscience for the remuneration he received. If the vassals of the Grand Duke were to pay according to the same proportion as Priest Luo, would he still be worried about the difficulties in running the territory? I am afraid he should turn around and ask the king: "Is it appropriate for you to continue to sit in that seat with a shameless face?"
The Grand Duke is also a man with brains. He knows what it means to have many dreams at night, what it means to be a crooked-mouthed monk, and what it means to have ulterior motives and sow discord.
Therefore, he announced in a timely manner that he recognized Priest Luo's behavior. He was surprised and happy. He was surprised that he made such a big fuss, and he was happy that the country had talented people and swept across the Frost Wind Grassland. It was the best New Year's gift. The border issues that have plagued the Grand Duchy for many years have finally been loosened.
The Grand Duke made a timely statement and set the tone, and those who wanted to stir up trouble between the two could only stop.
At this time, talking nonsense will not increase the gap between the two sides, but will offend both of them. The method is too rough and it is easy to be picked out and beaten.
Don't forget that Phobos Tatus was already a person who made the Order Spire amazed before he was certified as a legend.
Expecting to instigate others to spread rumors without being noticed is a joke. He can make nearly 100,000 barbarians kneel down and call him the master, but he can't pry open the mouth of the rumor maker? This is like not believing that the surgeon who has performed tens of thousands of difficult operations will perform an appendectomy. What's the idea?
To deal with such a person, either an open conspiracy or an extreme conspiracy, such as inducing a joint assassination by a divine messenger, the rest of the ordinary tricks will only bring humiliation to oneself.
And the only open conspiracy that seems to be available at the moment is to study how the new free earl, the legendary shaman, can feed 70,000 mouths.
Priest Luo said, of course, they are fed with grain, and there are also a large number of canned food for snacks.
With the void warehouse to trade back and forth, can feeding 70,000 mouths be considered a problem?
Priest Luo took a big step this time, with a big backer to back him up, so he is not afraid of pulling his balls.
Directly in one step, the level of the miniature fourth industrial revolution. That is, the level of technology after the completion of the computer revolution and the filling of the bottom-level repetitive intensive labor by AI.
The reason for the miniaturization is that 300 square kilometers cannot expand all categories, so what should we do? Use intelligent AI printers as a substitute.
In the packaged state, it can be expanded at any time as long as there is a need. If there is no need, a small closed loop is completed, which is a necessary industrial system, thereby strengthening large-scale agricultural planting at the near future level.
Of course, 300 square kilometers have to be deducted from industrial bases and urban land, and there are not many places for large-scale agriculture. It is almost like a pilot.
But it has to be tried.
Different worlds have different laws. In the same world, metal mines may have different phosphorus or sulfur content, not to mention different worlds.
Therefore, everything on Freedom Heights is indeed an experimental field, collecting data to prepare for full deployment.
This project will be calculated in years.
In other words, the Free Earldom will not have any major leaps in technology and productivity for a long time in the future, but will develop with adaptation and stability as the keynote.
From the severe winter to the spring of the earth, this wave of construction by Pastor Luo lasted for more than 100 days before it was barely completed.
The last stroke of the first phase of the series of projects was to build a gateway town, Gaotai Town, outside the crack at the southern end of the territory.
From a distance, this town looks like a huge three-story staircase, each floor is 20 meters high, and the top floor has a steel frame bridge connected to Freedom Heights.
And each floor has an area of about 20,000 to 30,000 square meters for building facilities. And its base is a large magic enclosure, called Magic Enclosure No. 5.
The main area of Gaotai Town occupies nearly half of the area of this magic enclosure. The southern semicircle and a small area in the north are enclosed by a ten-meter wall with a strong wall outside. There are no trees within a radius of one kilometer, only weeds.
In order to buy this piece of land of several square kilometers, priest Luo paid 50,000 gold to Grand Duke Malos. It was not a one-time payment, but 30,000 gold was paid for the first time.
Even for the Grand Duchy, this is a huge sum of money.
After all, the head ring made by priest Luo to prevent mental harm was priced at about 100 gold.
After receiving the money, Grand Duke Malos began to solve the unresolved issue of the northern border. Specifically, it was mainly the severance pay for the soldiers.
The promise of territorial rewards in those years can be blended.
For example, the scope of the territory can be appropriately expanded.
You know, generally speaking, when the territory is first established, the division of the territory is most active. Once it is decided, there is no regret. If you want to divide the land later, you have to accumulate again. And even if the parties are willing, they need to have the corresponding opportunities.
Because of this, when the fiefdom is granted, the specific division is very important. For the long-term, the newly appointed nobles would rather have less gold and silver and men, and try to choose the ideal territory first.
It is easy to deal with the lord, but it is difficult to deal with the men.
These men are not tenants who serve in the army brought by the lord, but professional soldiers, hired for a long time. How can there be no explanation?
Thirty thousand gold coins were not enough, but Grand Duke Malos subsidized some of it himself, and the project could barely operate.
After all, this matter indirectly involved Priest Luo, and with such a big legendary shaman as a financial guarantee, people are willing to believe that Grand Duke Malos's promise this time can be implemented.
Of course, even so, there is still a large part of the cost missing.
This part can also be negotiated with the newly appointed group of nobles.
Because this group of upstarts will select some so-called "own people" from the soldiers who are about to be dismissed to serve as the backbone of the violent team in the future territory.
In other words, the money of these people can be transferred to the upstarts through debt transfer, and then solved through land division and other matters.
Another major positive factor is that priest Luo swept the Frost Wind Grassland and harvested nearly 100,000 barbarians, laying the foundation for a relatively high security bottom line in the northern border for a period of time.
Otherwise, every year when there is a shortage of food and clothing, they will have to face the barbarians going south to plunder, and they will not be able to make such a large-scale adjustment. Instead, they will have to spend a lot of money on border patrols, equipment consumption, etc.
In addition, there is another reason for daring to make personnel adjustments that affect the entire defense line this time, that is, Grand Duke Malos and priest Luo reached an agreement that nearly one-third of the northern border defense line, from the Ice Fortress to the Mesana Star Fort, will be taken over by priest Luo's White Bone Corps.
Specifically, it involves a fortress, three star forts, and a medium-loaded convoy travels at dawn and sleeps at night. It takes three days to get from the Ice Fortress to Mesana, or vice versa.
And about seven kilometers southeast of Gaotai Town is the famous West Avenue in the Grand Duchy.
The lords of this era are not actually keen on building roads.
Because good road conditions can greatly enhance the control of centralized power. To put it more bluntly, as the most powerful person in the Grand Duchy, if the Grand Duke's troops can set out in the morning and arrive in the evening, which lord will not be silent? Then who dares to take advantage of the high mountains and far emperors to act arrogantly?
Therefore, the East-West Avenue was also built by Grand Duke Malos based on the national conditions of the Grand Duchy and the need to expand territory to the north.
Now the emergence of the Free Earldom has naturally formed a very favorable frontier fulcrum.
As long as Grand Duke Malos has a good relationship with the Free Earl, the West Avenue will allow the two sides to quickly exchange what they have, and the Earldom has enough people for production activities, which means that in the near future, the Earldom will be able to serve as an important material and even combat power supply point, radiating to the surrounding areas.
This greatly improves the response efficiency of support and material supply to each star fortress. At the same time, it also reduces the cost of logistics supply to the border by Grand Duke Malos.
In addition, Grand Duke Malos has always been aware of the tricks of the commanders of each star fortress.
But he can't say it out loud, after all, he can't make up for the pie he drew back then, and he owes it first.
The result is that he has been sucked dry by fraud and other means, but he has to pay the bill.
The Grand Duchy's deteriorating operation over the years is closely related to this kind of militarism. The frontier consumes too much money and has become a blood-sucking monster, but it cannot be ignored.
It was the arrival and actions of Priest Luo that finally broke this potentially dead game.
Of course, this upset a lot of people, including the king.
Everyone knows that the Grand Duke and the King are at odds with each other. The King and his family want to see the Grand Duke go bankrupt and then harvest high-quality assets. This is a secret that is self-evident to people in the circle. Seeing that he was about to achieve his goal, he was disturbed by Pastor Luo. This was almost like blocking someone's way of making money, just like killing his parents.
Grand Duke Malos did not hide this kind of thing from Priest Luo, because he could not hide it, and because of Priest Luo's eagerness for success, the established fact had been done, and the hatred was inadvertently made. Archduke Malos naturally took the opportunity to play with it. In fact, I have the character of a frank and real person, and by informing the situation, I further attract the priests into my camp.
Priest Luo doesn't care about this aspect. It's just like the idea he had when he was in Enom Territory. His strength can break all the cunning tricks and slap all the charming bitches in the face. Just come!
With this mentality, Grand Duke Malos, who was willing to conduct fair transactions, became a partner. Priest Luo not only single-handedly defended the western front of northern Xinjiang for the Grand Duchy, but also intimidated the middle line, at least adjacent to it, and It is safer to jump within the horizontal and vertical area of two star forts in total.
After all, the Ice Fortress has a strong force, and with quick support, it can lift a general siege. If one dares to cross the Star Fortress and go south to plunder, there is a risk of being blocked and surrounded.
The reason why such an effect could not be achieved in the past was mainly due to a combination of factors that resulted in more than enough defense and insufficient attack.
Now with the adjustment of the Star Fortress defenders, a resurgence of vitality will be inevitable.
In this way, the only things that really need to be solved by Archduke Malos are the eastern front of Northern Xinjiang and a small section of the middle line.
The Grand Duke's decision was to personally go and take charge of the fortress, similar to the layout of the Ice Fortress, with Fort Selia adjacent to the East Avenue as the fulcrum to build a pseudo-Ice Fortress.
To put it bluntly, it is to use one's own prestige and influence to achieve the effect of shocking surroundings to a certain extent.
To this end, it is accompanied by the early transfer of the dukedom.
The Grand Duke also worked hard for the family. His son succeeded to the throne early, and he went to guard the border as soon as he was old. It was a good deal.
It was by relying on such a series of major decisions that the long-standing problem in Northern Xinjiang was barely solved.
As for the star castles promised to the military nobles back then, they would be the locations of their future family castles after they were granted land. Archduke Malos also had something to say.
He said: "Look at the Free Earl, I know it is not appropriate to use him, but the method is still general. Using the Star Castle as the point and drawing the territory southwards, this is a way.
To this end, I promise to continue to provide financial and material assistance for ten years as in the past.
Second, you are allowed to draw northward. As long as you can hold it, you can draw as much as you want. "
This actually means that Grand Duke Malos has decided to end the principality's national policy of expanding northward. At least within a few generations, he will no longer engage in the risky strategy of defending existing expansion with new expansion.
It would be difficult for these upstarts on the frontier to explain such changes to major national policies. After all, a macro analysis of the fortunes of these upstarts looks a bit like being trapped in a Ponzi scheme.
But Priest Luo swept across Frostwind Grassland. Turning a vast area into a no man's land.
And the merits of this act have been transferred to the Grand Duke's name through the blending with the Grand Duke.
Be shameless, the Grand Duke can say: "I paid for the Free Earl to wipe out the Frostwind Grassland, making it difficult for dangerous and powerful banditry to breed in the next few years. Although the specific operation is a later vote, but you Regardless of how I got along with the Free Earl, it is an indisputable fact that Northern Xinjiang will be stable for several years.
In other words, even if a new wave of pioneering troops were formed and went north to build a new line of defense, the current new lords would only obtain an Enron with a similar effect to today's.
As for what will happen after many years, can this kind of thing be maintained for decades or hundreds of years? Is it called Dangerous Area for nothing? Being robbed by barbarian cavalry is a situation that the dangerous domain lords basically have to face.
In the future, there will be two major fortress-level military forces stationed in the east and west, capable of radiating support from the surrounding areas. How much worse can it be compared to the existence of the northern Xinjiang defense line?
Even if it's a little worse, didn't I ask you to arbitrarily draw territory to the north to compensate? Is there anything else you’re not satisfied with? "
In short, it was indeed Priest Luo's big move that brought an opportunity to solve the Northern Xinjiang issue. The Grand Duke also filled in the role, which solved this big problem that had been troubled for many years.
In fact, there are many details.
For example, Priest Luo's Demon Feather Crow has become a reconnaissance agency covering the entire northern Xinjiang defense line. Specifically, it includes setting up crow's nests and crow guards in each star fort.
In addition, Priest Luo also formed the Rangers with the Bone Sword Guards as members. They were active in the area north of the Star Castle. They were like a wandering beacon and could detect the barbarians heading south earlier.
If a large army wants to cross the Frostwind Grassland, it cannot be fast.
Because there was no stable food on the grassland for the large troops to eat normally, the barbarians had to drive their livestock southward, which was very different from the galloping mode of horses.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, only after each tribe replenishes the vacancies cleared by Luo priests through grazing, and becomes familiar with the terrain between several pastures, and understands and adapts to the life here, can they start their new nomadic areas. As a fulcrum, we raided the south relatively quickly.
Also, an important reason for the northern barbarians to raid the south is population.
With too many people, and environmental disasters such as snowstorms, they cannot feed so many people, so they have to rely on raiding the south to solve the problem.
Now the total population has dropped by nearly 100,000, and a large area of grassland has been vacated for grazing, so it is estimated that the northern border will be safe in the next few years.
Of course, this is common sense. And with the existence of cross-border forces such as the virtual kingdom of God, it is normal for common sense to be overturned.
However, now that Priest Luo has become big, Solon Perros is stupid, and he will not ignore the facts again and again, and still think that he can hold it and solve it privately.
For a period of time after Priest Luo swept the Frost Wind Grassland, he has been trying to collect intelligence, and the purpose is nothing more than to minimize his own responsibility when reporting. "It's not that I can't do it, it's all because the enemy is too strong", this is probably the rhetoric.
Put pressure on the top, and then raise the thunder army to crush it.
This became the main reason why Priest Luo could farm safely in the Free Highlands for a hundred days.
Another reason is that a major event happened in the Far North. Extraordinary top forces like the Order Spire and even gods were attracted by the event.
Similarly, the event also had a significant impact on the overall layout of the Virtual Kingdom of God on Alex. Solon really couldn't spare the energy to deal with Priest Luo, a powerful enemy who had already proved himself to be difficult to deal with.
In short, the Virtual Kingdom of God will no longer play the tactic of adding fuel to the fire. If they fight again, it will at least be a crushing victory as they thought.
