Transmigration of the bastard lord

Chapter 165 The Never-ending Wind

Interest groups use the method of marriage to form alliances. This common alliance method is common in all the world; Hydesy wants to be independent from the Sodia Empire, and it is imperative to form alliances with neighboring countries.Regardless of the military, national strength, population, and wealth of the Chimerman Kingdom, they are not particularly outstanding.However, as a veteran royal family of the Southern Continent, its capital far exceeds that of a noble like Frandy; the willingness to "marry" the princess of a direct relative to a small territory like Hyderside is entirely due to the "demigod" "On this promising identity.

The Duke of Frandi can marry the princess of the Sodia Empire as his wife, but Sig, the second son who cannot inherit the title, will be of a lower grade.Daughters of the royal family are not necessarily luckier than ordinary women, but they can often be sold for a good price.

In short, I went out on a mission by myself, and when I came back, I passed by the Kingdom of Chimerman, and with Hydesy's signboard, I was able to fool the royal family of Chimerman into forming an alliance with Hydesy and even sending the princess over for selection. Steven's efforts can Imagine; it's no wonder that he couldn't help but look smug when he talked about this matter-what's the disadvantage of a man in a political marriage, even if he doesn't like it, just put it in the castle and throw it away.It would be foolish not to be able to form an alliance with the Royal Family of Chimerman with a big aristocratic family in such a simple way.

Steven talked eloquently for a long time, and after bragging about the power of the two princesses from the same mother's family, he realized that the scene was a bit cold... Steven, who is not so proud of his life these days, is probably not used to it This kind of gap, knowing that he had just killed a sky knight with his own hands, although he couldn't show it off, it was enough to make him burst with confidence.

"Uh... Earl? Are you... dissatisfied with this marriage?" Steven swallowed and asked nervously.

"Hehe." Sig smiled, squinting at him, his attitude was so calm and calm, and his tone was so slow, "How could it be, I'm very satisfied."

Steven's mouth was half-opened, the hairs on the back of his neck slowly stood up one by one, the long-lost cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and the pride of secretly manipulating the situation in the Holy Land was covered by the chill little by little—the earl was already angry. Too lazy to mock people?why? !

Seeking help, Steven turned his attention to Mr. Guang, desperately found that Mr. Guang was also watching the count nervously...

Seeger leaned back slowly, leaned lazily on the high-back chair, propped his elbows on the armrests, and rested his chin; the smile on his face was not the kind of ironic sneer, but this inexplicable A fake smile without emotion is what people who are familiar with him are most afraid of seeing - usually when he puts on this posture, it means that the person in front of him is no longer worthy of his ridicule.

"Don't be nervous, Simon. You have done a good job. Let Lilith receive the royal family of Gimmerman well, and make sure that the two princesses feel that Hydesey welcomes them."

When Seeger spoke, Steven had already made a very deep self-reflection in his mind, and quickly judged the appropriate response; as soon as Seeger finished speaking, he immediately put on a sad expression, knelt down on one knee, He said with a heavy tone: "...I lost myself a bit, my master. During the days in the Holy Land, I forgot who supported the huge expenses to make me feel like a fish in water."

This is true, without the large amount of funds provided by the castle, without the endorsement of the demigod Fu Youguang, who would pay attention to a small second-level holy knight.

"I long for your praise, my master, I long for your approval... Maybe you already have other channels to ally with Zimmerman, but I presumptuously guess your thoughts with my own opinion... request You forgive my presumptuousness..."

Steven, who has a "master-servant relationship" with Sig, is also a good actor, and he choked up without saying a few words, with tears in his eyes.

Fu Youguang's eyes twitched as he watched from the side. If he wanted to talk about how he could rise to the top, look at his ability to bend and stretch; no matter whether it was his own fault or not, he should admit his mistake first...

The Earl with a "hard heart" didn't look moved at all, but nodded lightly: "How could you do something wrong? It's not so easy for ordinary people to fool the royal family. You've done a good job, Simon, go Rest well, Hydesy needs you much more."

Steven really cried... He admitted his mistake, he really didn't understand why the Earl was upset.Compared with a little "overstepping", the Earl is more concerned about whether his subordinates are of use value; Sig's self-esteem breaks through the sky, and he is not the kind of person who will worry that his subordinates will outshine him.Marrying a woman can form an alliance with the Kingdom of Kimmelman, and it will be convenient to talk about everything next. How could the Earl be annoyed by this?

Silently looking at Mr. Guang, Steven couldn't turn his mind more and more—could it be that Mr. Guang was unwilling?But Master Everbright didn't show any resentment either!

Sending away Steven, who was full of melancholy and hesitated to speak, Fu Youguang carefully observed Sig's reaction, and cautiously stated: "I am not interested in marrying the princess at all."

Sig glanced at him indifferently: "Oh?"

"People are probably even less interested in marrying me. There are few women who can like political marriages. I mean, this woman is always more emotional, unlike the gentlemen who just make do with it. It's..." Fu Youguang became a little nervous for some reason.

Sig narrowed his eyes dangerously: "... I forced you to make do with me, did I wrong you?"

"No, no, no grievance!" Fu Youguang almost bit his tongue, his face turned pale, "Don't get me wrong, this is pure injustice between us..."

"Hehe." Sieg smiled.

Fu Youguang slapped himself: "I didn't mean that, you understand!"

"I don't understand." Sig sneered.

"Brother! Don't laugh like that... Do you know how scary your virtue is?"

"I don't know." Sig shifted his hand to rest his chin.

"Hi! Come on, Dou coughs. It's serious to find a way to send the girl back." Fu Youguang scratched his head, this topic is really...extremely powerless, what a shit!

"Oh?" Sig raised his eyebrows. "Didn't you hear Simon's introduction? Princess Amelia and Princess Sharon... are rare beauties in the royal family of Chimerman."

The bloodlines of beauties have been improved for many generations, and the royal family can't produce crooked melons and cracked dates.Those who can stand out among the daughters of the royal family and be chosen by King Zimmerman to marry the demigods must have something outstanding.

"Don't make trouble, that's not the point." Fu Youguang's face hurt.No matter how emotional intelligence is, Brother Guang doesn't dare to show any slack at the moment; if he dares to be more resolute, those two poor girls probably won't be able to go home alone in the future.

Seeger scanned Fu Youguang seventeen or eight times with his cold gaze, and the cold sneer on his face only warmed up slightly: "Alliance between countries, marriage is not the only option Way. After all, Simon didn't get mixed up to a higher level, and his vision is a little narrow..."

Fu Youguang held it on the surface, and he was really relieved in his heart. The ancestor finally let go of this: "Before, we considered that we should be stronger and more confident before dealing with neighboring countries. Now that Steven has gone to fool the royal family, it’s not good to procrastinate any longer. You also said that we have to be prepared to accept refugees from Chimerman, and to avoid being attacked, it’s better to establish a good relationship in advance.”

The land of Chimerman is only half the size of the Sodia Empire, but compared to Hydesy, it is still a huge monster; it is inevitable to fight against the Sodia royal family—even if Hydesy is not in a hurry to stand on his own, Prince Xavier will be the king eight years later. Succession, relying on his conscience to realize that it is absolutely impossible not to find trouble with his cousin - if he gets into trouble with the Gilmerman royal family again, then Hydesy really has nothing to play.

"As I said, it's easy. The third demigod apprentice in this continent has taken a fancy to a prince from Zimmerman—this kind of master-student relationship is much closer and more reliable than marriage." Sig said casually, He came up with a better plan lightly, "As long as our side expresses this intention, a certain prince will pack a package and come quickly."

Fu Youguang patted his chin, this method was quite simple; the recruited disciples did not need him to teach them personally, Andrew, Davis, Seale, coolies lined up one by one and waited to be driven.

"Well...then let's do it this way, you handle this matter." Fu Youguang clapped his hands, as if he had settled the matter.The master-student relationship is a bond. The flow of commerce, the coexistence of interests, and the alignment of interests are the basis for maintaining the relationship between countries; with the giant dragon lying on the side of the Sodia Empire, it is a win-win approach for small neighboring countries to form alliances with each other. "Then , just pretend that the two princesses are here to visit, eat and drink and say hello before sending them back?"

Seeger was silent for a while, and his eyes became cold again: "...do you still care about them?"

"The visitor is a guest..." Fu Youguang was in pain, why this guy's jealousy hasn't passed yet.

The visiting team of the Chimerman royal family is much larger and more luxurious than the envoy team of the Tauren tribe.Steven rushed back to "announce the good news" first, and the large team that he fooled arrived at Amp City on the third day after he arrived.

Among this team, the royal family's visiting team accounted for the majority; in addition to the royal family, there were eight alchemy apprentices, the five-member mercenary group "Nighthawk", and a small team of the Bauhinia caravan.

In the past, such a large team entering the city would definitely cause a sensation; but now, the traffic in Anpu City has increased sharply, and tens of thousands of workers flock to the streets during the daily rush hour. It became a drizzle, and the pancake vendors near the city gate were not interested in paying attention.

The guards were the royal family's bodyguards and the Nighthawk mercenary group, and the journey was fairly uneventful; but after entering the territory of Hydesai, not to mention the royal team and alchemy apprentices who rarely left the royal city, even the well-traveled The mercenaries and merchants are quite dizzy.

Compared with the method of planting seeds in a large area, then mismanaging them and relying on the weather to give up treatment and planting methods, Hydesy's current cultivated area is calculated by combining the actual manpower.In the Kingdom of Kimmelman, everyone is eager to sprinkle seeds on the arable land; but after crossing the border and gradually walking to densely populated areas, these outsiders have discovered the specialness of Hyderside——

A lot of land with inconvenient transportation was placed, and small villages and small farms with only a few or more than a dozen families were abandoned; The guidance of the agricultural teaching team.

Under such an operation, when outsiders entered Hydesai, the first thing they saw was a large area of ​​wasteland-this world was originally sparsely populated, and after intensive cultivation and intensive cultivation, it became even more deserted.

Some knowledgeable caravan stewards thought that the natural disaster a few months ago had caused the population of Hydes to drop so much that no one was farming; but when the team gradually approached the human settlements, their eyeballs almost fell out—— — Canals extending in all directions!Neat ridges!Endless alfalfa fields, endless soybeans!

When passing by the village, the curious caravan couldn't help getting out of the car to observe the alfalfa field and the soybean field. The world view was even more broken-these plants were actually planted on the extremely neat field ridges!In the warm sunlight of early summer, there is a long queue, like soldiers waiting for a review!

What's even more exaggerated is that some of the ridges where soybeans are planted are also planted with sesame seeds!

Sesame is a precious commodity in any world, especially in this world where agriculture is underdeveloped.Even experienced caravan stewards have never heard of a territory where sesame is not planted on the manor, but is sown together with cheap soybeans in this way.

——Of course, the soybean and sesame interplanting fields seen by the caravan belonged to the farm; in folk terms, Fu Youguang was really reluctant to give the seeds to these unqualified farmers to ruin.

After walking through the countryside for several days, this mixed group of visitors finally arrived in the city of Marquis after gradually becoming numb to the lush farmland that either did not appear or appeared all over the sky.

Due to its convenient location, Maqi City has priority in getting development opportunities than Barty City and Alsop Town.It was considered a slack season, and many farmers went to the city to do part-time jobs, and the castle was naturally a big recruiter.The mercenary regiment was at the head, the royal guards were in the middle, and the caravan was at the back of the caravan. After walking to the city of Marquis, they were completely at a loss in the face of the endless crowd of people working on the road ahead...

During the disaster relief work, the castle unified the importance of smooth road traffic to the development of the territory.The Rennes engineering team was divided into several brigades to work in various places, and Maqi City was naturally the top priority.After the spring plowing was over and the recruitment started, the repairs were completed on the bombed part of the road between Anpu City and Maqi City, and then there were the roads from Maqi City to the towns.

The royal family's visiting team has been on old rammed earth along the way, and only some rough repairs have been made in some unfavorable places.It was also because Steven didn't take the road surface into consideration when choosing the route, which made the large-scale team move at a snail's pace.

Now, at last, the visitors saw a landscape unlike any other in Hydside Land, save for its grotesque farmlands—wide, unbelievably smooth pavements of strange materials, and lively, People who laugh and laugh.

It was a miracle for Westerners that the ancient Chinese dynasty could mobilize more than [-] migrant workers to build fortifications.And in this world, the ruling class can only be less mobilizing to the common people.Thousands of people gathered together to obey the instructions, participate in the work in an orderly and enthusiastic manner, and those who have no experience are fine; the instructor of the Nighthawk Mercenary Corps, who is the seventh of the top ten tactical masters, lost his eyeballs and jaws. On the ground—what kind of person is the lord of Hydesy?

The closer to Anpu City, the denser the population, the more abundant the crops in the farmland.When passing by Hein Farm, even the two princesses in the carriage poked their heads out amidst the exclamation of the guards to look at the magnificent farmlands on both sides of the avenue—large tracts of wheat blowing gently in the wind, even if you look far away, you can’t see them at all. Not to the border.There are also some weird fields, the ridges are quite high, the crops are soaked in water, and there are fish in them!

Finally arrived at Anpu City, the terrifying number of factories in the factory area outside the city made these visitors unable to even exclaim.They didn't catch up with the rush hour for commuting, and they couldn't see the neat and orderly working scene in the factory area; but so many mighty and domineering large factories had already demonstrated Lord Hydesey's amazing financial resources in a very high-profile manner.

Numbly entering the city, numbly walking through the streets that are as lively as the central street of the royal city; when Ms. Lilith and the old mayor Bernard came out to welcome the guests from afar, they were famous and worth as much as a tactic of a legion The master looked humble; the stewards of the Bauhinia Caravan, who had traveled around the world and were worth a lot of money, were also respectful; the two noble princesses of Chimerman, facing Mrs. Lilith, who also had a great noble family, were even more obedient. It is docile hair.

The people, wealth and food are the foundation of the lord of a country and a city; the visitors who were shocked by these three things just by superficially peeking at them, for the lord of Hydesside, the ruler of this land, There can no longer be any contempt.

And this master tactician specially brought in by Steven, sees deeper than others - there is no doubt that the tentacles of Lord Hydesey's rule extend to the neglected countryside, and he has amazing energy for the people here This means that if what Steven said is at least [-]% credible-the one who decides the outcome of a war may be the supreme powerhouse; but it is thousands of people who decide the outcome of a battle. Thousands of soldiers charged into battle.
