Great Nobleman

"Open up the war!!"

Lord Holland said it so plainly and easily, Brand certainly understood what it meant.

Knowing that the pioneering war was coming, Brand was very excited.

Facing Brand's expectant eyes, Master Holland nodded affirmatively.

"Whether it's the territory you want in Brand, or the glory you want in Yersin, you will have a chance to get it in the next pioneering war!"

Many years ago, the ancestors of the Holland family opened up the Barony of Holland with the Kaya Kingdom Exploitation Order, which was only a kingdom at that time.

After generations of operation and development, the original Baronie became the current Viscounty.

As the second son of a viscount who cannot inherit the title and territory, pioneering wars is the best way for Brand to obtain territory.

He can rely on his own strength and hard work to obtain the territory he wants.

The same is true for Yersin. The best way to revitalize the Holland family is to fight.

In war, as long as you have strength, you will also have glory at your fingertips.

Speaking of pioneering wars, Yersin was also very excited, but his good military quality also made him a little doubtful:

"Based on the accumulation speed of the empire's military strength in the past, the next pioneering war will take at least ten years. Two years should not be enough to complete the accumulation of military strength?"

"You are right. According to past data, it will indeed take ten years or more."

Lord Holland first affirmed Yersin's judgment on the speed of development of domestic military power, and then slowly explained the origin of everything:

"However, there are indications that many nobles in the empire are deliberately speeding up the accumulation of military strength. I have already received very positive confirmation from the Mesa family."

"That Uncle Anthony?"

Brand thought of the handsome middle-aged guy who gave him the bracelet.

Master Holland nodded:

"Many descendants of the Mesa family serve in the imperial military. Compared with the knight family, which is difficult to judge the specific strength on the surface, the imperial army composed of ordinary soldiers is undoubtedly a window to intuitively understand the situation."

After a short pause, Master Holland continued:

"According to the Mesa family, recently, out of the need to 'maintain the prosperity and stability of the domestic and surrounding kingdoms', the commanders of the major legions of the empire have gradually relaxed the conditions for foreigners to join the army."

Yersin's eyes lit up when he heard the cryptic hint from Master Holland:

"Recruiting soldiers from affiliated kingdoms is indeed a way to rapidly expand the strength of the legion when there are limited young and middle-aged people in the country!"

Regarding what Grand Master Holland said, all the nobles are accelerating the accumulation of military power, Brand has some doubts in his heart.

he asked:

"Why shorten the preparation time from more than ten years to just two or three years? Is there any benefit?"

Facing Brand's question, Master Holland explained:

"According to the original plan, it will take at least ten years for the empire to start another pioneering war, but a few months ago, a major event happened in the endless sea."

Pointing to the position of the endless sea, Lord Holland said the name of an event that Brand seemed to have known before:

"A year of tides that is rare in hundreds of years."

Lord Holland continued to explain:

"A few months ago, the Imperial Court Mages made detailed observations and inferences about the tidal phenomena that occurred in the Endless Sea.

After about two years, the ocean tide will affect the coast of the Endless Sea north of the Kaya Empire, where the sea level will enter a period of rising that lasts for a whole year, and about three years later, the sea level will reach its highest peak. "

As Lord Holland's finger on the coastline of the endless sea in the north of the empire gradually moved south, Brand understood why the nobles of the empire wanted to increase the speed of military power accumulation.

The sea level is rising, and the coastline is moving south. Perhaps only one war is needed, and the Kaya Empire can touch the endless sea!

Master Holland said with rare excitement:

"So this is the best opportunity! When there is only a thin line from the endless sea, we will not wait for the next time in decades. Just this time! We will push the border of the empire to the endless sea! "

"I see!"

Brand understood.

"Since there is such a good opportunity, why didn't His Majesty immediately announce the preparations for war?"

At this time, Yersin asked a question that he did not understand.

In his opinion, this war is undoubtedly very important to the Kaya Empire.

Since there was news of the Year of Tides of the Endless Sea a few months ago, the power of the entire empire should have been mobilized at that time.

Yersin's question made Master Holland smile understandingly, and he reminded:

"I didn't say it before. Normally, it will take at least ten years before the Kaya Empire can complete the accumulation of pioneering wars."

Seeing that Yersin was still puzzled, Master Holland continued with a smile:

"Take our Holland family's cultivation of knights as an example. If we want to cultivate knights in two years that can only be cultivated in ten years under normal circumstances, we must use the family's secret knight medicine."

"You mean?"

Yersin understood a little.

Master Holland nodded:

"His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have the face to let the big families use their family heritage. He is waiting and observing. He wants to determine whether the nobles of the empire have the same will as him and are willing to use their family heritage."

"So whether this pioneering war will be fought is not determined by His Majesty the Emperor's will, but by the major noble families of the Kaya Empire.

Only when the nobles of the entire Kaya Empire are fully promoting this matter, and two years later, when the empire really has the power to open up the war again, will His Majesty the Emperor declare war. "

After all, he poured himself a glass of water, and after taking a big gulp, Master Holland continued:

"For things like opening up wars, the earlier you prepare, the more advantages you will have, and thus you will gain more war contributions in the war.

Judging from the experience of the previous pioneering wars, we should still form the noble pioneering army in this pioneering war. "

Brand added: "So we should look for reliable allies as early as possible, and pre-lock the composition of the pioneering legion?"

"That's right!"

Nodding his head, Master Holland said an astonishing thing:

"Remember now, the legion of the Mesa family, the knights of the Holland family, the mages of the Claude and Chesil families, the logistics of the Romien family and the Robert family. These are the strengths that have been gathered so far.

In the pioneering war two years later, we will advance and retreat together with our allies! "

Hearing this, Yersin was a little shocked and said:

"Have we already formed alliances with so many families? The strength gathered now is considered a qualified pioneering army, right? Will we continue to increase allies in the future?"

"Yersin, don't underestimate our opponent."

Speaking of this, Master Holland's eyes gradually became sharper:

"In previous wars, these forces were indeed sufficient, but this time is different from the past. The Orc Empire will not allow us to easily touch the endless sea. We still need to gather more forces."
