60. Arrangement
Sean didn't set off with William for the time being, but he didn't stay at the Savage Fortress either.
Although he didn't know the specific reason, he could be sure that Lake was obviously in a lot of trouble as well, otherwise he wouldn't have given up the possibility of coming to trouble him in person. And in that case, Sean is certainly happy to take advantage of this precious time to solve some troubles.
Like the hatred between the fascist kingdom and the death thorns.
After all, he had pit Deaththorn once, so it was normal for Deaththorn to come to him for trouble, but Sean didn't expect that the other party would actually play word games with him. At least in Sean's opinion, playing with words is a small trick, which is really a bit out of the flow, and I'm sorry for Deaththorn's identity as a powerful organization.
At least in a different place, Sean felt that once he promised someone something, then he would definitely not play with these boring word games.
It's just that Sean doesn't know that in recent years, his behavior logic, which has no rules at all, has given him the private title of "Mad King", so in fact, Sean has really driven many organizational forces to a dead end. Although he himself still doesn't know what is going on, the fact is that in the entire Southern Continent, Sean has hindered many people's ways to make a fortune.
If it weren't for the growing strength of the Void Principality and the increasing number of strong men under Sean's command, he would have known that he had been assassinated many times.
William and Hela never told Sean that the Void Assassination Force had grown dramatically in recent years - that the Special Ops, which specialized in assassination and counter-assassination, could only truly grow in combat. Although Luke, the strongest member of the group, had not yet officially entered the Sanctuary Realm, the number of Golden Realm powerhouses alone was enough to make many small and medium-sized assassination organizations stunned.
But assassins and killers and the like. In a head-to-head battle, he is still weaker than a fighter of the same rank, so it is not an amazing development. Not to mention. The members of the Void Blade special unit have grown up in a rapid way, which makes them even in the battle of their peers. Unless it is a pre-prepared trap ambush, it will often be at a disadvantage.
What Sean was dealing with at this time was looking at what had happened throughout the Void Principality during the time he had been away.
As the Grand Duke of a Duchy and a future Emperor, Sean can decentralize power, but he must not be ignorant of the development of the entire country. Neil, Hela, William, and even Diana are grateful for Sean's delegation of power and trust, but it is precisely because of this gratitude that they are so loyal to Sean. will also compile all the movements of the entire country in the past few years into a book, and then hand it over to Sean to read at this moment.
At the very least, he must know what the whole country is doing, what it is going to do, and what it plans to do in the future.
If it is a mediocre and incompetent emperor, then it naturally doesn't matter, but everyone knows that Sean is not such a person.
The location where Sean is now is in the office study of the City Lord's Mansion in the Heart of the Lake.
It's about 10 days away from Oasis City. It is one of the many cities that have been built since the completion of the construction of Oasis City, as part of the third phase of the project, and the main purpose is to divert the population of the barbarian tribes that have long been saturated in the Great Rift Valley and Oasis City. At the same time, starting with the City in the Lake, the Void Principality will gradually begin to build various cities, towns, and villages in the old areas of the Savage Lands. At the same time, the abandoned land will be greened and restored until the entire public road network is paved.
Naturally, there will be some suitable and important places to choose from. Build new forts and fortifications. As to where this expenditure was obtained, it was, of course, through the occupation and plundering of the fascist kingdoms and claims against the enemy nations that had participated in the plan to cause civil strife among the barbarian tribes.
The surrender of the tribes of the Savage Lands. It also made the entire wild land completely fall into the hands of Sean, although it has not been officially made public. But the high-level leaders of the Void Principality knew that this territory was already part of the entire Void Empire.
Therefore, Neil directly divided the entire Savage Land into thirty-one regions, together with the Great Rift Valley Region, a total of thirty-two territories, if you count the territory of the Void Duchy and the Millennium Covenant area that is now occupied, the future Void Empire can reward thirty-five on-the-ground Grand Dukes - the areas divided by Neil are all divided according to the area of the standard Grand Dukedom.
The so-called Grand Duke is a Grand Duke who is one level higher than the Duke, one level lower than the Prince, and has not declared the establishment of a Duchy. Their realm is larger than a regular dukedom, and the standard area is often the size of two standard dukedoms.
Of course, even if the Void Empire is established in the future, it will not be possible to really reward the thirty-five on-the-ground Grand Dukes, there must be other titles, and of course those other titles can only be divided from the existing territory. However, considering that sooner or later the entrances to the other four areas of the Savage Land will be recovered, coupled with the utopia that Sean has already revealed, the Void Empire can set up a total of nearly forty grand dukes with the field.
In other words, the size of at least eighty dukes.
And according to the judgment standard that the superior standard collar is equivalent to two subordinate standard collars, even after the establishment of the Void Empire, there will definitely be no shortage of territories that can be used as rewards. However, compared to the five empires that have been famous for a long time and have not fallen from the names of the seven empires, the territory of the Void Empire is still a little smaller.
Among other things, the Emilian Empire, which has the largest territory, now has nearly 100 dukes with field. And even the Chainas Empire, which attaches the most importance to the inheritance and strength of the nobles, so does not arbitrarily reward the field, the number of dukes alone exceeds seventy, and if you count the other feudal nobles, the territory area is definitely above the Void Empire that is about to become emperor.
This is the true imperial heritage and imperial strength.
It is also the place where Sean can intuitively feel the gap in the various information he has browsed in the past few days.
I have to say that Neil, as the most bizarre existence of the forest elves, does have a very strong talent for administrative ability. Not only can he arrange everything that seems tedious and boring, but he can also arrange it in an orderly manner. Moreover, the information materials sorted out can also make the viewer intuitively understand which information is most important and which information is secondary. Meantime. Neil will also list the reference policies and pros and cons in some administrative processes and arrangements, as well as the possible consequences, etc., and even give corresponding countermeasures around these consequences and disadvantages.
It can be said that from the knight realm and barony that Sean managed at the beginning, to the Void Realm, to the Void Principality, and even the future Void Empire. It's all because of Neil's arrangement that it's so easy and not chaotic. If it weren't for Neil's help from the beginning, then Sean would not have been able to have the Void Principality with such perfect mechanics today, and even the so-called Void Empire in his mind would probably have to delay for decades to reach it.
Gently put down a document in his hand, this is the last document Sean has read these days, and then he rubbed his eyebrows, and his slightly tired face finally became a little relaxed: "Finally finished reading." ”
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Sean's voice was a little brisk, he knew who was coming, "I said Hela, how did you learn Neil's problem." Knock ...... every time Didn't you say it's over! Why are there so many documents! ”
Originally, Sean wanted to say hello to Hela easily, but he didn't expect to see Hela walking into the room with a large pile of documents. Behind Hela was Harding, the lord of the demonic spawn, who of course also had a lot of papers in his hands. Apparently to give Hela a hand.
"You've been looking at old documents from previous years, and now these are from this year, and a few of them are old files that have been backlogged. Even Neil and we didn't deal with it, and we've been waiting for you to be free. Hela looked calm. Slightly indifferent, but judging by the smile hidden in her eyes. Apparently she did it on purpose, "Neil said, it's rare to trick you, and I must let you take care of all these things." Because you don't look like a lord at all, but like an adventurer, you can only solve these things once and for all while you remember that you are a lord. ”
"Well, I knew it wasn't that easy for Neil to get me here." Sean said helplessly with some pain, "You know that I came here to meet with those people at the Haytham Institute and discuss ......"
Before Sean could finish speaking, Hela had already spoken: "Magic Guided Technology has been successfully developed, but it is not enough to meet your miniaturization requirements." The Hython Institute said that your many whimsical ideas and theoretical knowledge have given them a lot of room for improvement, so they will definitely do their best to help you solve these things, and it will be regarded as the cost of buying your knowledge. ”
"If you can't miniaturize, you can't use it for the next generation of impact shield technology." Sean frowned and said, "Now every time the impact shield is turned on and off, it is a consumption of service life, if the battle is fierce, a shock shield can't be used a few times, which is always a bottomless pit for military consumption." …… And ......"
"The research work of the magic guide cannon has come to an end." Hela knew what Sean was trying to say, so she simply told the result.
"Really?" Sean's eyes lit up suddenly, "This is good news!" …… Then there are ......"
"The development of the magic charger has also been completed, and it is currently in the testing stage, but it is not stable enough." Hela continued, "But...... If you want to force open the underground passage of the Gorge Fortress, you won't have a problem. However, according to the energy assessment, the safest and most stable passage can only enter two people, after which the power unit needs to be replaced and recharged. ”
"What about time?"
"Ten years at the slowest, the fastest...... It is not possible to evaluate it at this time. Hela put down the papers in her hand, then pulled out one of them and looked at it before answering.
This time, Sean did not go with William to find trouble with the fascist kingdom, but ran to the wild land, because he heard that several main factions of the Haytham Institute had come here and were studying the magic technology topic that Sean had mentioned before. Although as far as the current situation is concerned, the first-generation magic guide technology power machine is still in a relatively large structure and cannot be directly used on some small devices, but it is no problem to develop the magic guide cannon and use it as some power machines.
In Sean's concept, a newly built defensive functional fortress in the Savage Lands. Basically, it must be equipped with a magic guide cannon, and the defense mechanism of the fortress must also be powered by a magic guide power machine. This can greatly reduce the number of troops that are too many, and thus achieve real eliteization.
Of course. It's still okay for magic cannons to be used to threaten the army, but for the strong above the legend, the threat is not high, and it's even inferior to the seventh or eighth level army.
As for the development of the Underworld Passage that was left over from the underground research chamber established during the cooperation between the Millennial Covenant Empire and the Kingdom of Dabion, it was because of Harding and Rottikabas. Sean had promised them that one day he would let them return to the underworld with dignity, so now that he has this opportunity, of course he will not break his promise.
It's just that the only one who is still in the Void Principality is Harding, the Lord of the Demon Descent.
Rottikabas has been out looking for the ruins of the Rider since a few years ago. He has not yet returned, and even information contact has been completely cut off, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead. Harding thinks that Rhoticarbas is dead, but the Void Principality still tacitly assumes that he is still alive and has not canceled his status in the Void Principality.
"Can the magic cannon be put into actual combat?" Sean asked.
"Five have been developed, and they are now handed over to Lord William, who is in charge of the actual combat test this time." Hela spoke.
"Hey, the fascist kingdom has sent us so many gifts one after another, and this time it's time for us to repay the favor. Surprise them a little. Sean chuckled, "That's right...... Have someone go to the Savage Fortress and get Elisa, she has a very special weapon in her hand, called the Magic Spear. It is very close to the principle of magic cannon technology I designed before, and it can even be said that it has surpassed it at some levels, which should be a good help for the Haytham Institute to miniaturize magic technology. ”
"I see." Hela nodded. "In addition, I have received information about the Void Realm, just as Lord William had expected. The countries of the other three regions of the Savage Lands are all a little nervous, and it seems that they are planning to take advantage of Lord William's departure. Invade the Savage Lands. ”
"So how are you ready?" Sean has already begun to look through the batch of documents that Hela just took out, which is different from the previous batch just to see and understand, there are indeed many documents in the new batch of documents that need him to review and give instructions, which will undoubtedly increase Sean's workload, "When William left, he said that all the arming and arrangements here are handed over to you. ”
"It's basically ready, but if there are too many powerful and powerful people, then these arrangements of mine won't be of much use."
"Don't worry." Sean nodded slightly, "After Alexis finishes solving the problem on Deaththorn's side, he will come to support you." ”
"Actually, speaking of which, I don't understand a little." Hela frowned, "Even if you go to war with the fascist kingdom, why provoke Death Thorn at the same time?" I think we can wait until the fascist kingdom is defeated, and then go to the trouble of Deaththorn. ”
"It doesn't make sense." Sean shook his head, "Deaththorn guys, once they find out that we are at war with the Fascist Kingdom, they will definitely know that I am taking revenge on the Peace Council...... However, I am going to establish an empire, and I do have an unnegotiable contradiction with the Peace Council, and the result is that Deaththorn will definitely turn into a more hidden state, and it will be even more difficult for me to find trouble with them at that time. It's better to let Alexis go and destroy the branch of Deaththorn now, and directly wipe out Deaththorn's forces from the Southern Continent. ”
"So if that's the case......"
Sean knew what Hela wanted to say, so he opened his mouth to take over: "Pack up the dead thorns first, and then clean up the fascist kingdom?" ”
Hela nodded.
"It's the same thing, there is some evidence, and if it is expired, it can't be used to speak." Sean said lightly, "You should see this more clearly than William." ”
Hela thought for a moment and immediately understood: "I see." …… Those guys in the Peace Council, because they really owe us this time, and they don't want to get into trouble with us, will give us an appropriate laissez-faire action, and we can only take this opportunity to send troops to completely wipe out the fascist kingdom in one fell swoop, and by the time the Peace Council finds out our intentions, they are basically unable to stop the general trend of the fascist kingdom from destroying the country. ”
"It's not that he doesn't want to break the net with us, but ......" Sean thought for a while, and never found a good word to explain the obvious split within the Peace Council, "Forget it, it's good for us anyway, and you can also test the power of the magic cannon, there's nothing bad." ”
Hela nodded, and although she didn't quite understand why Sean didn't say half of it, she didn't have the heart to find out the truth, so she turned and left. However, when he was about to go out, he turned his head to Sean and said, "By the way, I almost forgot one thing, I just received the summons today." ”
"What's the matter?"
"The Knights of the Darkmoon Spear of the Twilight Church have left the royal capital of the Ryan Kingdom and are now heading towards the Void Duchy, they have made contact with Neil, and will arrive at the Gap Fortress in a month at the latest." Hela spoke up again, "Neil means to let you go back and receive you after you get the matter done quickly." ”
"The Twilight Church?" Sean was stunned for a moment, "Could it be Elsie?" …… Hey, this guy is kind of funny, he really made him mess up. ”
"Your old friend again?" Hela asked when she saw that Sean was actually delighted.
"Well, a friend I've known for a long time." Sean smiled. (To be continued.) )
