Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Ethan took the document handed over by Sophia, opened it, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth.

This is a statement, the statement of the Grand Duke of the North.

There is only one piece of content. Since Maruo City is an important strategic partner of the Northland, once Maruo City is attacked, no matter who the opponent is, the Northland will move south regardless of the consequences.

"With this statement, we shouldn't be able to start a fight!" Ethan smiled and said, "When was it sent?"

"It was sent just when your little girl was talking nonsense." Sofia replied with a smile: "Besides, the Grand Duke of the North doesn't just issue a statement and that's it.

He showed his attitude through practical actions.

Along with the statement, there were three great sword masters, seven sages, a Dharma god, and an army of 150,000 people.

They are now gathering at the border and are expected to complete the gathering within a week and can go south at any time.

For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor was extremely nervous.

According to my uncle, while he is sending troops to reinforce the border, he is also sending envoys to reprimand the dukes in sixteen regions.

He, who had been sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers before, was now more active than anyone else. "

Ethan chuckled and sighed that the Grand Duke of the North was worthy of being the Grand Duke of the North.

You think he is just a duke, no, in terms of force, he is the most powerful force in the world, bar none.

This is no lie.

Not to mention that all the people in the North are soldiers, the number of regular soldiers alone exceeds 600,000, and this is only the data reported by others.

As for super combat powers such as the Great Sword Saint, Sage, and Dharma God, their quantity and quality cannot be compared with other regions.

If it weren't for the threat of the orcs, the troops were scattered across thousands of miles of territory, and he was tasked with guarding the door of humanity, who would have dared to plot against him.

"Finally, I didn't help the Northland in vain, and now I finally received the reward!" Ethan said happily.

Sofia was not as optimistic as Ethan, she said slowly: "You think the Grand Duke of the North is too simple!

He didn't come here just for our Maruo City. "

"Oh? Is there any explanation in this?"

"Of course!" Sophia nodded: "Because you provided the movements of the orcs to the North, they finally no longer have to disperse their forces.

Finally, I can free my hands to solve problems that could not be solved before.

For example, those countries that do not comply with the agreement to provide supplies to the North.

Another example is the lords who charge high tolls for transporting supplies to the North.

I guarantee you that as soon as they are assembled they will head south.

No one who has offended them can escape.

The anger that has been suppressed for the past hundred years will definitely be released in one breath this time. "

When Ethan heard this, he frowned, thought for a while, and then asked, "How far do you think they will go?"

"It's hard to say!" Sophia raised her eyebrows and said, "It depends on their strategic goals.

If Northland just wants to ensure the trade routes and make all countries fulfill their original agreements, then they only need to deal with a few lords on the trade routes, and then withdraw their troops.

But if Northland wants to sanction the Aslan Empire and the Republic of Hlingard, it will be more complicated.

In my opinion, we need to divide our forces into at least three routes. The eastern front should open up the Solan Pass and occupy the Solan Mountain Pass. The middle line should reach the Taiwu River in the Duchy of Windsor. The western front should hit the Steel Ridge of the Republic of Hringard. .

And after it is defeated, it must be heavily guarded.

If this strategic goal can be achieved, Northland will no longer have to worry about logistical problems in the future. "

"Ouch! You also know military skills, you're awesome!" Ethan teased.

"I don't know anything about military affairs!" Sofia smiled: "I just think about things from the perspective of economic development.

However, I find it a bit strange.

Normally, even if the Grand Duke of the North wants to take action, he has many reasons: why would he choose to issue this statement?

The reason is far-fetched, and the attitude of supporting us is so clear, which is very abnormal. "

Ethan spread his hands with an indifferent expression: “No matter what his purpose is, as long as it’s good for us.

His move at least bought us enough time.

As long as you give me a few years, I will make those sixteen dukes regret going against me. "

Sophia nodded: "That's right. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you.

The liaison officer in the Northland stationed in Maruo City is also going to be replaced, and you know the person coming. "

"Do I know him?" Ethan pursed his lips and immediately recalled, a figure immediately appeared in his mind: "Andy Knight?

It’s been a long time since I last saw him. "

"No no!" Sofia shook her finger: "It's Nolan!"

"Nolan?" Ethan's eyes suddenly opened wide: "Oh my God! Is this bastard coming to Maro City?"

"Haha!" Sofia smiled: "Yes! He is coming!

But you can't call people jerks anymore.

Since he got married and added a pair of twins to the Eagle family, he is no longer a marginal figure in the Eagle family.

First, he served as deputy director of the Logistics General Affairs Development Department, and then was promoted to department director.

According to this momentum, maybe it won't be long before he will be transferred to the General Administration of Logistics and take charge of the entire logistics department.

However, he gave up the opportunity to be transferred to the General Logistics Bureau as deputy director and took the initiative to apply to come to Maruo City as a liaison officer. "

When Ethan heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"No! With his wild and unrestrained temperament, he can actually get into the Logistics Department, which is famous for its strictness?

Is this a joke?

By the way, did the Duke change his attitude towards him, or did his father-in-law come out to support him? "

Sophia spread her hands: "I'm not very sure!

However, I heard, I heard!

It was his father-in-law, General Sagla, who came forward. I heard that he pointed at the Duke's nose and yelled at the general meeting, saying that the Duke was too ruthless.

He only knows how to protect his reputation, and he is afraid of being accused of letting others be his relatives. He even dares not to hire talents like his own grandson.

He also said that the Duke did not even dare to protect his own grandson, and no one believed that the Duke would sincerely protect the children of the people in the North.

It is said that the Duke was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

Then...everything fell into place! "

"Hahaha!" Ethan laughed loudly after hearing this.

The meaning of Sophia's words was so obvious, how could Ethan not understand it.

So he said: "It's really hard to be a Duke!"

"That's right!" Sofia nodded and said: "In other places, as a Duke, you just appoint whoever you want, and there is no need to consider other people's feelings.

But in the Northland, it is completely unfeasible.

The environment there is so harsh, and they have to fight orcs every day. If the people didn't have lofty beliefs and a fair competition mechanism, their hearts would have been broken long ago.

This is true for ordinary people, and even more so for those super strong people.

Otherwise, with the strength of those people, even if they bear a bad reputation and cannot live a good life, why do they have to follow the Duke to suffer hardships and risk their lives in the North? "

Speaking of the strong men who stood firm in the North, Ethan immediately put away his smile and paid them the highest respect from the bottom of his heart.
