Chapter 86 Cutting
"Well, let's not discuss this." Richard just smiled faintly and said: "These days, I have walked through the lives of tens of thousands of people, as if I have lived tens of thousands of times, and every time I have more, my state of mind will change somewhat, of course, on the other hand, my understanding of the rules has deepened a little." ”
"This way you can also understand the rules. Turbidity looked incredulous.
Richard nodded and said: "Yes, although it is only a little bit every time, but the accumulation is more, and the progress will be very considerable, but for me, the real value is not the rules, but the change of mentality, I have a stronger heart." ”
Turbidity frowned and said nothing, "What's the use of this." The question was swallowed back.
Uncertain but thoughtful, silent for a long time.
Richard was not in a hurry, and leisurely wiped out most of the dragon ribs in front of him before asking, "How is the situation in the Land of Dusk?" ”
"Hattings has taken down another Legion Fortress, and according to the current situation, I estimate that he can still take two more fortresses, and he will be weak in his follow-up." ”
But Richard said, "No, he can't even take down the next fortress." ”
"Why. Wuding asked in surprise.
Richard said: "Because of the method used by Hattings, the Daxoldas are as good as the Daxoldas, I saw the manta ray in the Dusk back then, it is obviously a class that can be mass-produced, somewhat similar to my brood warriors, now that so many years have passed, I think the Daxoldas have already made a new breakthrough." ”
Wu Ding said slowly: "In that case, the turbidity, you will go to the land of twilight tomorrow to keep an eye on Hattings, and once he is defeated, kill him immediately, and then bring me the head." ”
Turbidity showed a cruel smile and said, "As you wish, Your Majesty." ”
Richard said while cutting the dragon ribs: "It doesn't have to be like this, if Hattings can seriously fight until the last moment, it will also contribute to Norland, let him go." ”
"Hattings is a scholar-mage. ”
"I know. Richard raised his head and said, "I'm still a little bit unwilling, I think there should be a little difference among scholars and mages, at least Hattings is a person who has made a great contribution, and it's okay to stay, as for Fort Solomon, it's another matter, I will find it one day and destroy it." ”
"Whatever you want, I hope he's smart enough to know what to do next. Wu Ding said lightly.
"I'm going to the Azure Continent to find the elves to find the route of the elven powerhouses to reach the Abyss of Abys, if I explore it little by little, I'm afraid it will take decades. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you when you officially set off for the Abyss of Abyss. ”
"No, I can't. Richard flatly refused, "If you leave, what about the Holy Alliance, there will be no one here anymore." ”
Wuding roared angrily: "To hell with the damn alliance, I just want to get Su Hailun back." ”
"But it's not much use if you go. ”
"There's no Crystal River of Order, it's close to the Land of Chaos, which is just right for me. ”
Richard looked Wu Ding up and down, and said, "Your body is too weak, I can't take care of you all the time, block the knife for you, if you go, it will only be a drag on me." ”
Wuding was suddenly speechless, and what Richard said was not wrong, in the lord-level battle, Wuding's physical strength was indeed a hard injury, just like the battle between her and Richard, and in the end, she still lost because her physical strength was not enough.
Richard's tone softened a little, and said, "Well, before I leave, let's discuss it again, whether we want to go together, you see how it goes." ”
Wuding's face finally looked better, and he nodded.
"Before I go to the Azure Continent, there is one more thing that needs to be resolved, and that is the territory. Richard said, activating a magic map out of thin air, revealing the entire Norland area.
"Our territory in Akmund is strictly insufficient, not only in terms of resources, but also in terms of future development, and I need to leave a strong enough foundation for my family, so that even if something happens to me, they can rely on these territories to maintain the development for the next few hundred years. ”
Wu Ding said: "If the territory is too big, if you don't have it, it will be difficult to hold it." ”
"It's not a big problem for the time being, Ellie Jie still has more than a hundred years to live, and I will find a way to inspire it to three hundred years, with her, Akmund will not be able to lose in the war, and in terms of the strong, at least the next generation has Freil, who can barely control the scene. ”
Wu Ding nodded and said, "As long as I don't die, the royal family will be your eternal ally." ”
Richard smiled, shook his head, and said, "With your surname, it's hard to live longer." ”
Wuding's eyebrows were raised, and he said coldly: "Look down on me, do you want to try another fight." ”
Richard smiled and shook his head, and said, "Still no, save some face for you." ”
"You," Wu Ding gritted his teeth, and he had the urge to do it on the spot, but he coughed vigorously a few times next to him, so that the angry Empress Xià calmed down a little.
What follows is the discussion of territorial divisions.
Richard took all the hundreds of kilometers around Deep Blue, and at the same time took nearly 1,000 kilometers of coastal strips in the Gulf of Ice Floes, and the territory of Yashan was to be expanded accordingly, and the main territories of the Holy Alliance were from Mensa, Schumpeter, and Joseph, and the other third were taken from other small and medium-sized nobles.
In the direction of the thousand-year-old empire, Richard only needs two counties, these are two strategic places, with them, Yashan has two natural gateways, the largest territory is from the Holy Tree Dynasty, and the Holy Tree Dynasty has fought three times and five times, how can Richard be polite now, he hooked his fingers, and directly drew the territory equivalent to two dukedoms, of which the territory of the old rival Duke Solam was half divided, and it was the most fertile and rich part of it.
Wuding frowned and said, "That's all." ”
Richard smiled and said, "Not a lot." ”
"If you don't think there's a problem, there's no problem. Turning to the turbidity, he said, "Have you written it down, and give the new map of the boundaries to the corresponding countries and lords, and tell them that you will not accept any bargaining." ”
"As you wish, Your Majesty. ”
After the turbidity left, Richard also finished his meal, hugged Wu Ding gently, and opened a portal directly in the restaurant, and went away.
In the next few days, many of the old nobles on the continent felt anxious, and they could hardly believe their eyes when they suddenly received the notification from the Holy Alliance.
The thousand-year-old empire was the most peaceful, and this matter was not even put in front of the emperor, but it was decided to come down when it came to the prince of Tumen.
At that time, the Prince of Tumen looked at the map and just said, "It seems that Richard remembers our help to him." ”
Immediately, the prince of Tumen signed his name on the text and assigned the two earls to the name of Akmund, and the original two earls in the territory were directly transferred to two barren lands on the frontier to be cultivated.
In the Holy Alliance, countless nobles debated fiercely in the House of Lords, and their dispute was not whether Akmund should have such a large territory, but what kind of obligations should he assume after having a territory.
In addition, the total territory of the Akmund family has exceeded 500,000 square kilometers, and it is enough to establish a small kingdom, coupled with Richard's personal status in the field of construction and power, the title of duke is obviously not suitable for his new identity, so the idle nobles are arguing about what kind of title can highlight Akmund's unique status.
If Richard really adopted the new title, then the nobles who proposed to build yì would naturally have a relationship with Akmund, who was said to be in the middle of the sky, so for the sake of a resounding title, the nobles also quarreled with Akmund in the absence of Akmund, anyway, what Akmund wanted to cut was not their territory, and then again, their poor territory would not be favored by Richard.
All the families involved in the division and transfer of the territory have silently gone through the handover procedures, and have tried their best to maintain order in the territory, so as to give Akmund a complete and fertile territory, no one dares to do anything at this time, and no one is stupid enough to do it.
In the end, the most violent reaction was naturally the Holy Tree Dynasty, and for several days, the emperor and cabinet ministers were arguing in meetings.
The northern dukes resolutely opposed the partition plan sent by the Holy Alliance, and demanded that in the name of the dynasty and Richard fight to completely destroy Akmund, while the southern legion refused to send troops, not only refused to send troops, but now they didn't even have money, no matter how the northern legions and the dukes roared like thunder, they just didn't send troops, not a single soldier was sent, and not a single gold coin was given.
The intransigence of the South was clearly unexpected, and the side of the Church was even more empty, and not only the Chinese Archbishop refused to attend the cabinet meeting, but even the Pope did not come, and it was clear that they felt that it was a waste of time to maintain a sense of existence on this issue.
The north suddenly became isolated, and the only hope was in the emperor, and the emperor looked very haggard, as if he had not slept for several days, in fact, since receiving the notice of the Holy Alliance, the emperor had indeed not closed his eyes, and this notice was like a boulder, which weighed him completely out of breath.
As the head of a country, the emperor has to consider a more long-term thing, cutting off two dukedoms may be just the beginning, today it is two dukedoms, and tomorrow you can add another dukedom, so that the Holy Tree Dynasty will slowly be **, perhaps the emperor had gloated about the internal strife of the church at first, but now, he has found that the dynasty is too dependent on the church, so that it has fallen into today's predicament.
The debate is still ongoing, and what makes the north most indignant is that the number of wars between the empire and Richard in the past millennium is not small, and Richard actually just means it, and he just asks for two counties from them.
It's so unfair.
After several days of bickering, the emperor and the cabinet members were exhausted, but they were finally close to a conclusion.
The Minister of War first said: "I think it's almost over, first of all, Richard is already a super strong, in Norland's convention, he has the right to establish a country, and if you want to establish a country, you must naturally have a territory"
At this time, a duke in the north slapped the table and shouted: "He is a super strong person, is he a self-styled person." ”
The commander of the Southern Legion sneered: "It's not that a super strong person can repel the reaper, if you are replaced, it is estimated that you will be wiped out by the reaper on the first day." ”
The Duke of the North was furious and roared, "You look down on my army,. ”
