Chapter 140 (1/2)
”The thundering female martial god?” Neil asked with a puzzled look on his face.
”Yes.” Sean nodded.
”Why does everyone like her?” Neil muttered and looked very puzzled. ”Tell me first, do you want to be her pioneering knight, or do you like her for another reason?”
”Is there a difference?” Sean looked stunned and asked back.
”Of course there's a difference. No difference. What else do I have to ask you?” Neil curled his mouth and looked like an idiot.
”In fact, my real purpose is to become a Lord. At present, although there are wars everywhere on the miracle continent, it is obviously impossible to rise to be a Lord through a war.” Sean thought for a moment, and then began to describe his reasons, ”so my goal is to start with pioneering knights. I'm still young and my followers are still young, so I can spend a few years to lay down a territory and become a Lord. I can do all these things Moreover, the most important point is that Athena also started from scratch as a pioneering knight, so it's much better to be a pioneering Knight under her command than under other people. ”
Neil is noncommittal.
Seeing that Neil didn't speak, Sean thought about it and said, ”at least I think so. As long as my achievements are achieved, she will not be an obstacle to my further progress.”
”Then what can you bring to Athena?” Neil asked.
”War.” Sean said without thinking, ”Athena has long wanted to send troops to the kingdom of dabion again, but there is no excuse, but I can find a suitable excuse for him But not now, at least after I become a formal Lord. ”
”In other words, you are not attracted to Athena or conquered by her charm, but just want to use her as a springboard?” Neil raised his eyebrows.
”That's right.” Sean thought for a moment. That's really understandable.
”Then my advice to you is to go straight to the door.” Neil said calmly, ”you tell her you can give her a war, an excuse to fight again against the kingdom of dabion. In exchange, she will provide you with a certain degree of protection, including giving you the title of knight and developing your knighthood Well, maybe you can do a little more in this regard, so you can even get a jazz fief as your base. ”
”That's it?” Sean is a little silly.
”How difficult do you think it is?” Neil asked back, ”according to what I know, Athena is actually very simple and straightforward. As long as you can give her what she needs, you can exchange what you need. This is a fair and equal exchange, isn't it But the real difficulty of this problem is how to make yasna believe that you can give her a reason to go to war. ”
”I've thought about that.” Sean said in a deep voice, ”beyond the border between the two armies of the Principality of Ryan and the kingdom of dabion, there is a wilderness. There is the most important trade route of the kingdom of dabion. As long as I stop this route, the nobles of dabion will come to me for trouble. As long as the trouble is big enough, Athena has an excuse to send troops.”
The wild land is just a private name of various countries. In fact, this land is called the wild tribe United Nations. There are more than 100 tribes living here. These tribes are large and small, and the coverage of races is extremely wide. You can see from orcs, orcs to humans, barbarians, gray elves and so on. Although these tribes call themselves the United Nations, they are actually constantly fighting within.
On average, at least three new tribes are born and one or two tribes die every day. There are many reasons for this extinction, perhaps internal fighting among tribes, attacks by slave teams, and more likely military attacks and repression from several surrounding countries. In a word, this is an extremely chaotic place, but it is also an extremely important place, because the whole wilderness is full of invisible wealth.
This land provides a continuous source of slaves for several surrounding countries. It is an important trade place for several surrounding countries. It is also a piece of hard meat that will definitely collapse if it is occupied alone - at least other surrounding countries will never agree that anyone will monopolize this land, even the Millennium covenant empire. For some reason, as the most powerful empire around, the Millennium covenant Empire also seems to maintain the consistent tradition of this land and did not completely occupy it.
It's like all the countries around have reached an agreement on this.
Sean said that after cutting off the trade of the kingdom of dabion on this land, it is equivalent to cutting off nearly half of the economic sources of the kingdom of dabion. If this can not lead to war, the kingdom of dabion would have been swallowed by other countries.
