"Don't say that, I'm just helping you manage it for the time being." Sean didn't care about Ruud's anger at all.

Even if he and Lonnis were combined, Sean would be able to knock them over with one hand.

In this world, people who don't have strength basically have no human rights - of course, this is for the enemy. In the eyes of the Boulder family, Lonis is still very valuable, and as for Ruud, who knows him.

"For the time being?" Rude couldn't believe that there was still someone in this world who could be so shameless.

"You see, because my army is here, the current situation in your territory is very good, and there is no strife or turmoil at all." Sean smiled slightly, and his investigation of Rude was indeed very detailed, "Can you still expect your family to pay for you?" I'm afraid they're already arguing about the next heir. …… The title your father left you seems hereditary, right? Since you have no heirs, the title can be inherited by someone who is related to you. ”

Ruud was silent.

He knew very well that Sean was telling the truth.

Over the years, he has focused on the development of the territory, and many times he has ignored some internal uneasiness factors. And with the development of the territory, many relatives he had never heard of kept popping up, which made him really troubled, after all, these can be regarded as relatives, and he can't be cold-blooded enough to deny these relatives.

This is actually because Ruud is too young, and the Michilin family is not an old nobleman.

Many true aristocrats, the moment they embark on the path of thriving development, will abandon all these unhelpful relatives, at least not let them all be concentrated in their own estates like Rudd, and even have to do nothing to do and get a little money every month. This is what he did for any aristocratic family. It's all harmful and not beneficial, but it's a pity that Ruud doesn't know.

So much so that now he is finally about to taste the bitter fruit - in the face of the betrayal and usurpation of his relatives.

For a nobleman like Lonnis, losing a piece of territory is nothing, even if he agrees to Shaun's condition to give the baron to Sean, but the territory is still actually the territory of the Kingdom of Dabiang. Although Sean has all the jurisdiction and dominion rights of this territory, he still has to pay a certain amount of territorial taxes to the Dabiang Kingdom according to the rules of the Dabiang Kingdom, and if Sean is willing, he can even take care of an empty title of a baron of the Dabiang Kingdom.

But for Ruud. It's not so easy.

This territory is his core family domain, and it is also a domain given by the royal family of the Kingdom of Dabiang. If Ruud loses this territory, then he will be immediately beaten back to his original form, in other words, he will be transformed from a local nobleman into an ordinary nobleman.

Viscount, it's just an empty title.

In the whole kingdom of Dabion. There are not 100,000 nobles with empty titles such as viscounts, but 40,000 or 50,000.

So to occupy the territory, for Ruud and Lonnis. Fundamentally two different concepts and outcomes.

"You want to occupy my territory. Then you might as well kill me......"

"Don't say that in front of me, I really would do that." Sean glanced at Ruud and said in a calm and indifferent tone, "Of course, we can also deal with this matter in a different way." ”

Ruud closed his lips tightly, and he looked deaf.

"The territory is mine. And you can continue to be your lord. …… Hmm, or to put it another way, the archons. ”

Ruud's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The kingdom of Dabion will not allow this to happen." Lonis frowned, then spoke. "It's just a war between our nobles, not between two nations. Even if you occupy this territory, you will still have to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Dabiang, and Rude will soon be recalled to the royal capital, so it is impossible for Rude to leave it alone. …… If you do, you'll be treason against Ruud. ”

Cession of territory, this is a state-level statement.

Wars like Sean, the Boulder family, Lonnis, and Ruud are just confrontations at the level of the nobility, so there is no such thing as ceding territories. In the case of the nobles, it is occupation, but although it also has jurisdiction and dominion equivalent to the entire territory, this territory still belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Dabiang, and the Kingdom of Dabiang can even reclaim the territory through negotiations.

Of course, if the occupiers wished, they could even automatically acquire the nobility of the country depending on the size of the territory.

For example, if Sean really obtained these two territories from Lonis and Rudd, he could also serve as the viscount of the kingdom of Dabion if he wanted to. If he is able to expand his territory to the size of the county, his title will be automatically promoted to the rank of Earl of the Kingdom of Dabion.

But in these rules, as the original lord of the territory, he must evacuate.

And if Sean wants Ruud to stay as an archon, this is indeed an act of rebellion, and no country will allow it. Unless the Kingdom of Dabion voluntarily ceded the entire territory to the Duchy of Lane, then Ruud was allowed to stay, but at this time he was actually a member of the Principality of Lane, and was no longer a member of the Kingdom of Dabiang.

"So what?" Sean couldn't have been ignorant of these things, he just raised an eyebrow.

"It's going to cause ......" Lonnis just wanted to explain the consequences, but as soon as the words came out, he immediately realized something and looked at Sean in disbelief, "Your goal from the beginning was not Mordger, that was just an excuse for you?" You've always had Ruud's idea! ”

"What you want is not an ordinary war...... Ruud also reacted immediately after hearing Lonnis's words, only the reaction awareness of these two people can indeed be regarded as very good, "You want to drag the entire kingdom of Dabiang into the quagmire of war." …… You want the Kingdom of Dabion to wage war with the Duchy of Lane once again, and I am the key breakthrough on your chessboard! ”

"Congratulations, you guessed it." Sean smiled, with a frank face, "But since you already know this, then it is even more impossible for me to let you go back." ”

Ruud and Lonnis's faces changed slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill people yet." Sean glanced at the two of them, walked to the table by himself, and poured himself a glass of red wine, "Viscount Ruud is indeed my breakthrough, as long as I do this, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to a resounding slap in the face of the Dabiang Kingdom, and it is difficult to endure this breath in the situation of the Dabion Kingdom." They will definitely find a way to save face, and at this time, I just need to provoke a little more, what do you think will happen? ”

"You're probably calculating too well, aren't you? What if the royal family of the Kingdom of Dabion ignores your provocations? ”

"So I need your territory." Sean pointed at Lonnis, "A large part of the capital income of the Dabion Kingdom comes from the Savage Lands. The Gap Rift can be accessed from the edge of your barony, but as long as I own your territory, any slave catcher in the Kingdom of Dabion must enter my territory if they want to go to the Gap Rift, and if I don't want anyone to enter, what do you think will happen? ”

"You!" Lonis didn't expect that Sean's plan was so shrewd, and it could even be said that it was linked to one link after another.

If he loses the financial resources of the Savage Lands, Lonis believes that at least more than half of the high-ranking nobles in the entire kingdom of Dabion will go bankrupt as a result. And once this happens, the Kingdom of Dabiang will soon fall into a crisis of civil strife, so in order to prevent this from happening, or in order to calm the aristocratic contradictions in the kingdom, this battle must be fought even if the Kingdom of Dabiang really doesn't want to fight.

"Even if we don't go through the Gap Rift, we can walk the Peterson Wetlands." Ruud said in a deep voice, "At most, it's just a little longer. ”

"Don't think I really don't understand anything." A sneer appeared at the corner of Sean's mouth, "If that's really the case, the cost will be at least two to three times greater." At this cost, unless you capture gray elves or valuable slaves such as bearmen, lionmen, and werewolves, you will simply be buying and selling at a loss. And even if it is caught, the quantity must be large. …… But do you think that the only place in the wilderness is your slave catcher of the kingdom of Dabion? I don't know if the slaves I worked so hard to capture will be cheaper for others. Besides, even if you do this, I will be able to send an army into the wilderness, where I will attack the slave catchers of the kingdom of Dabion. ”

Ruud was silent.

He had already seen that Sean didn't bother to use any conspiracy at all, but he just made it clear that he wanted to start a national war. If it is really forced to this, no matter how much the royal family of the Dabiang Kingdom can endure it, it will definitely not be able to sit idly by, and it is almost a sure thing that another war breaks out between the Duchy of Lane.

"Don't forget, I haven't agreed to give up my territory to you."

"Then I'll have to spend some energy sending troops to occupy it." Sean shrugged his shoulders, looking really annoying.

If you don't want to give it yourself, then I'll have to grab it.

It's so frankly annoying.

"Why are you telling us this?" Ruud pondered for a moment before finally asking.

Sean had a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

After all, Rude is an ordinary small nobleman who started from scratch, so many times he thinks about his own family, and he doesn't think about the future of the country at all. So he quickly realized that a person like Sean would never say these things to himself for no reason, and he must have other meanings when he said this.

"In the case of the general trend, if I were you, I would think differently." Sean smiled, "And I bet you guys, the Boulder family must be thinking about their future right now. …… Do you know what I mean? ”

Ruud and Lonnis both fell silent.

If you can't see what Sean means by wooing them at this time, then they are really fools. (To be continued.) )
