Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth: Requisition
Xia He was really not very excited. He advanced to Yang Shen, killed four legends, and gained a lot. But thinking of the long journey, he didn't feel much in the mood to celebrate.
After letting Medierli go to Sun City, Qiu Xuanji came to congratulate him.
Xia He is very optimistic about this little Taoist priest. This guy has a good character.
"Xuanji, I advanced to Yang Shen, which is equivalent to the legend of this world. I also felt the suppression of the world's power. If I attack ordinary people, the backlash is still quite powerful. Although I have various means of avoidance, I don't want to use it. I will rely more on you in the future for military affairs."
Qiu Xuanji smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I'll advance in one or two years."
"So fast!"
"Sir, you have a lot to say to me on weekdays. This is the main world. My practice is much faster than in my own world, and some of the previous problems have also been made up for."
"Then I'll be busy for one or two years. After two years, there will be more people available to me. And the enemy above the legend is our greatest enemy."
Xia He thought to himself that the power of legend is mainly used in another world to provide resources for the subordinates of this world. Moreover, the so-called backlash is really nothing to him, but he is a legend now. If he kills ordinary people, it will cause public outrage.
This is the reason why I don’t want to do it. It’s not a good thing to be enemies all over the world.
Xia He's army defeated the coalition forces outside Huaihua Castle and immediately sent envoys to the imperial capital.
The City of Juno, the Royal Conference.
Juno III, who had not appeared for a long time, looked at the members of the two houses and said, "What do you think of Asra's request?"
"Your Majesty, since Marquis Asra has achieved a legend, he deserves to be a duke. This request is not an exaggeration."
Juno III looked at Duke Donald of the House of Commons in surprise. He unexpectedly, the House of Commons took the initiative to show his goodwill before the House of Lords supported him.
Yes, to achieve legends, of course we must show goodwill.
"Your Majesty, it's just that the blood revenge has not ended yet. It is unfair to give the title now." The member of the Green family stood up and told Juno III.
Juno III laughed. These people were still thinking that Asra would die in battle?
"If no one objected, I will enthrone Asra Xia as the Duke of the Empire. The territory he requested will also be enthroned to him."
"His Majesty!"
Juno III looked at the Speaker of the House of Lords and said, "What's the problem?"
"The underground world is a land of uninhabited..."
"Since I am not from the empire, I will enthrone him, so what will it do to the empire?" Juno III said calmly. He didn't care about the underground world. The 40% of the ore veins of the magic raw stone were delivered directly to him, and he didn't have to do anything.
Another 20% is for the Metatlin family, and another 20% is for his nephew, Prince Dingxiang. I heard that there are some commissions for his daughter in secret, and the rest is Asra's.
What is he not satisfied with this distribution?
Although Metatterin is becoming more and more powerful, he is far more loyal to the royal family than other families. If you want to be 100% loyal, there will be problems sooner or later. Metatterin has done well enough, and he can turn a blind eye to many things.
This allocation plan was proposed by Asra, so Asra is fine, at least there is no problem at the moment.
Anyway, if you send me a letter to this place, you will receive 40% of your interests, so no one else can squeeze in.
The people here were speechless. Yes, since it did not belong to the empire and there were underground forces, it was equivalent to the empire giving Asra's fiefdom without any loss.
Whether he can fight or not is his own business. If he can't fight, everyone can continue to watch jokes.
If you want to defeat, Asra has to invest huge forces. Now the empire is using troops to half-elves, and the half-elves empire is fat.
Juno III was happy to see that no one objected. This underground world became Asra's territory. If Asra died in the future and had no descendants, he would be able to take it back.
As for how he died, it doesn't matter.
Xia He didn't know any intrigues in the court, he knew that his request would be agreed. The emperor probably wanted the territory of these eighteen nobles. He said that he could not occupy anything. Even if there were rich mineral resources in this territory, he could only offer it with both hands and hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor's layout in the north should not be aimed at the underground world, but at the Griffin Temple on the ice field.
Although the space channel was created by the God of the Underworld to confuse the empire, its value itself is not small, otherwise how could the empire be deceived?
In June, the appointment was quickly completed.
Medilly also transferred enough soldiers from Sun City, and Xiahe marched northward and occupied Viscount Murphy's city. The nobles here had already run away, and ordinary people were in panic all day long.
Xia He was too lazy to manage it, anyway, this place was not his own in the end.
The strength of Xia He left behind in the three castles was not counted, but the army he eventually dispatched was only 18,000. He now roughly understood his military strength and the military comparison between the nobles in the north.
Among the 18,000 people, there are no messy auxiliary troops. Anyway, most of the northern land is plains, ordinary streams and rivers can be crossed with just some magic. Xiahe needs to quickly destroy these eighteen nobles.
There were too many nobles in the Northland. If it weren’t for the large amount of minerals, they would not be able to maintain these wastes.
Because of the abundant resources, most of the nobles in the northern region were not enterprising. Only three dukes were OK. Now one of them was cut off by Xia He. I wonder if there are any decent talents in his family.
Duke Dranov is still a little bit powerful and mentally stubborn, but he doesn't quite understand Xia He's background.
Most people just regard Xia He as the emperor's favorite minister and use it to disgust the House of Commons.
Xia He's current power is already a powerful duke. He himself, Medielli, Freya, and the Goddess of Doom are all legendary levels. In the next few years, a group of people will advance to legends.
And in two years, there will be a Taoist priest in his Taiyin Immortal Palace.
It is not impossible to play a temporary guest appearance as a magician. There are also a large number of mages in the current mage group to advance epics.
At dawn, a scout team entered a village, which was built in the northern style, with fortresses and more than a dozen militia stationed, usually against thieves and monsters.
When the scout team arrived, the entrance of the village was full of militias waiting to surrender.
There are twenty people in this team, without a mage, but there are five elite Sun City players. The remaining fifteen are recruits who have been trained for more than a year. The scouts all rode Trojans, equipped with two magic muskets and a cavalry straight knife. Now the system of Trojans is perfect, and the iron armor on the outside is worn to hang out, and a little speed can also be used for charge.
Even though the strength was disparate, the scouts still did not dare to take it lightly. Some villages once pretended to surrender, raided in secret, and killed half of the scouts.
There should have been troops to clean up the village alone, but there were only 18,000 people going to fight in Xiahe, and they had to be very open. All villages and towns had to be taken care of. So we simply arranged scouts to collect the village.
Five new recruits went up to confiscate the weapons, and the militia were also cautious, for fear of angering the blood mage.
The last incident made many young and strong people bury with them, meaningless.
The scout inspected the village and confirmed that there were no ambush troops. Then he arrived at the public house at the entrance of the village and asked the village chief to come over.
"How many household registration do you have?" the captain asked.
The village chief is quite old, but he looks very energetic. He is a professional at level 5. After hearing this, he said, "There are eighty-nine households."
"With such a small household registration, there are more than a dozen militiamen?"
"This place is still far from the city. There are wolves in the mountains and forests in the distance. Although it is not large, it is quite troublesome." The village chief said calmly.
"You've been a soldier before?"
"yes."
"Then it will be easier for me to talk to you. My Duke wants to collect food."
The village chief's face turned ugly, and the scout's captain continued, "You don't have to worry. You will leave food for the whole village until the end of the year. Of course, the collection of food will not give you money. Who asked your lord...haha."
The village chief was in a state of khan, and the captain of the scout stopped scaring him and said, "The team will come soon. You are ready and not allowed to hide it privately. That is a death sentence. However, the Duke ordered that he would give you some salt, which is considered a little kindness of the Duke."
"salt!"
"That's right, it's salt. If you store more grains, you'll have more salt. But don't leave enough food to change more salt. The food collected by the adults is because of some shortcomings. If your food is cut off, the Duke may not be able to replenish the various villages. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this.
The salt in the north is much more expensive than in the south, and it does not occupy a small share of the villagers' expenses. He understood the tone of the duke. In fact, he used salt to buy food, for fear that they would greed for the cheaper salt and exchange too much, and then there was not enough food in winter.
Once a famine occurs and the Duke's food cannot be turned over, they will suffer.
Xia He means to collect all the grains in the villages here so as not to be surprised. His current attack nodes are all in the granary, leaving the northern nobles without supplies unless they transport grain from other worlds.
Xia He is waiting for this opportunity. If he can find the coordinates of another world, he will make a complete profit.
His Majesty the Emperor wants the northern land, but other worlds cannot make themselves contribute.
Once he discovers another world, he will mobilize his troops, completely subdue it, and transform it into a Taoist world. In a small world, if it is not the main world, the law is under little pressure. World will? You can ignore him and force it directly.
