Chapter 455: The trade-off of interests
At the beginning, the lords and nobles were still gritting their teeth and unwilling to accept the threat easily.
But when I see others making a lot of money, I can't sit still because in this case, I need to support various supplies for the Broken Blood Castle, but they are just insignificant little heads, and the only thing I lose is their face.
But in the face of absolute interests, things like face are worthless.
Suddenly, the Lords and nobles of the Byron Alliance changed, one more righteous than the other. It was natural to support Rongbian in the Blood Castle of the Fault. No matter how financially they were, they could not lack the food of the Rongbian soldiers.
They went to the border to trade not simply to make money, but to better support the Blood Fort in the Fault.
In terms of shamelessness, they have reached a new level.
The energy mastered by these lords and nobles is definitely one by one. Their large-scale entry has greatly expanded the scale of border trade several times.
Under their impact, the price fell and there was no huge profit at the beginning, but overall, there was still some profit.
This is the market's instinct for self-regulation. As time goes by, border trade will become more and more stable. Regardless of the trading method or the price, after all, Odin orcs are not fools with too many animals, and most people live a tight life.
I had high prices before because there were fewer goods and I had no choice. Now that there were too many goods, I naturally knew to compare the stores, which one was better and which one was cheaper to buy.
The impact on the Blood Fortress of the Broken Mouth was not big. The transaction price had dropped, but the transaction quantity had increased. The landlord who was on the ground to collect money finally got the total profit, and it was in a state of constant increase.
The Blood Fortress, who was determined to get money, is not in a hurry to find trouble for the Theodin Empire. Anyway, the territory of the Eastern Odin Empire is large enough, even if they maintain the current speed of advancement, they will not be able to fight the Lion Clan Court for less than half a year.
As they continue to advance, the more difficult it becomes.
Because during the attack, the entire army was spread out flat. The larger the area of the city, the larger the laying, and the longer the front line was stretched.
On the contrary, the major tribes of the Eastern Odin Empire were forced to retreat step by step by step, and their living space was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, when they couldn't unite, it would be the moment when they counterattacked.
That was the most lively time in the Odin Prairie, and it was the best time to make small moves in the Broken Blood Castle.
The most suitable thing now is to keep making money and keep storing various military strategic materials. No one thinks there are too many of these things.
Another thing worth mentioning is that after Grand Duke Cedric came out of the Eternal Night Army, he did not return to the Blood Fort directly, but instead visited the last house, Viscount Philip, led by the Manyu Army.
The relationship between the two sides is relatively close. Viscount Philip once invited him to the Rongbian of the Blood Castle for nearly ten years. The Golden Cave Heavy Cavalry led by him has been obeying the orders under the Grand Duke Cedric and has also created many brilliant achievements. He is a famous young generation in the Blood Castle for the Blood Castle.
It was not until he heard that his father, Grand Duke Borg, was assassinated that he hurried back to the Manyu army.
Originally, Grand Duke Cedric thought that with Viscount Philip's ability, he could lead thousands of troops in Manyu's army and ascend to the throne of the new Grand Duke, giving the Broken Blood Fort a new aid.
Unexpectedly, the situation of the Manyu military leader was even more complicated than expected. He was a whole lot of mud, and he plunged into it. He struggled for almost ten years, and he fell deeper and deeper.
Regarding Viscount Philip, Sufilia has already been angry with Grand Duke Cedric.
Even if the other party is his own granddaughter, Grand Duke Cedric could not force the other party to support Viscount Philip to take office. After all, sitting in her position still had his own interests.
I can only sigh that Viscount Philip may be a good general, but not necessarily a good lord.
Grand Duke Cedric met with Viscount Philip not to provide assistance and support, but to persuade him to voluntarily give up the right to inherit the Manyu military leadership.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the stalemate continues, Viscount Philip's winning rate is minimal, because his biggest supporter, the Lancelot royal family, has abandoned him, and the thriving Eternal Night Army leader will not watch a man who is hostile to himself take power.
Grand Duke Cedric was unwilling to watch the young general fall in the internal friction, giving him a chance to escape unstoppable.
He asked him to give up his inheritance rights and follow him to the border of the Blood Castle in the Brokenkou, and the Grand Duke Cedric was protected. Even if the pseudo Grand Duke Patleme wanted to kill him, he would have no chance.
After half a month of ideological struggle.
Viscount Philip eventually accepted the proposal of Grand Duke Cedric.
He was afraid that it was not just the above reasons, but also a strategy of retreating to advance.
The Manyu Army leader was originally a three-legged tripod, and the conflict between him and Patleme was the main contradiction. With the support of the Yongye Army leader and Sufeilia, Angebena made a fortune in silence.
When he got away, only two major forces, Patlem and Angiebena, were left, and his territory would become blank. Both sides might fight to compete for the territory they had vacant, but the series of forces behind both sides made them not result too quickly, and they could find opportunities to re-enter the market in the future.
He used this trick to avoid Grand Duke Borg, but now he is just using the same trick again.
No matter what the scheme was involved, it was a fact that Viscount Philip led his elite troops to follow Grand Duke Cedric back to the Blood Fort in the Broken Eaves.
After four years of stalemate, a new situation emerged.
However, the subsequent script development did not follow Viscount Philip's expectations.
Earlfriend Angebena was not moved by the territory left by Viscount Philip. She never sent any soldiers from beginning to end, allowing the pseudo-Grand Duke Patleme to eat it in one bite.
Afterwards, Earlfriend Angebena even sent a letter of congratulation to Patleme and swore allegiance to her again. Although anyone with discerning eyes knew that this allegiance was only nominal. The Earlfriend would never pay the Grand Duke Patleme the tax of half the eldest son, and would not want to call on the soldiers and soldiers of her territory.
However, after ten years of division, the Manyu military leader was regained its unification.
Angebena's choice seems a bit incredible. If you carefully study Angebena's rise history, you will find that this situation is inevitable.
Because she is very proficient in choosing and choosing, even when she was controlling Solo City and Borg, she still chose to join forces with Patleme, only seeking a countess, instead of taking the position of the eldest daughter herself, because she knew that this was an extremely difficult road, and if she was not careful, she would lose her bones.
Now, she knew very well why she could be as stable as Mount Tai, that was, she was entrenched on the Jacob River line, and the entire territory was connected, and behind it were two major interests of the Regent Princess and the Yongye Army Leader. They could not stand this line changing their masters, especially the Yongye Army Leader.
But it does not mean that they will support themselves to cross Patleme's territory and compete for the enclave of Viscount Philip. By themselves alone, they will definitely be dragged into the quagmire of war by Patleme, causing economic and strength consumption, which will not be worth the loss.
It would be better to give it to Patleme directly, stick to the existing line, and take advantage of the current golden season of trade to make money crazy. As long as you have enough small money in your hands and don’t have to do anything by yourself, someone will come to your door on his own initiative.
It turns out that her selectivity is correct.
Viscount Philip had just taken the elites and Grand Duke Cedric back to the Blood Fortress of the Broken Ear. Many lords and nobles in Viscount Philip's territory, so they took their families and fled to the Jacob River overnight, went upstream, and swore allegiance to Angebena.
They are not fools either. They still know who has better development momentum over the years.
Although Patleme has confirmed the position of Grand Duke, the problem is that he has been in trouble with the Holy See too much. Many of the powers have been slapped by the Holy See members led by St. George, and Sauron City has been chaotic by them. I heard that the Lords and nobles below live in dire straits and don’t know who to listen to.
On the contrary, in recent years, Angebena relies on the Jacob River to build a series of port cities along the Jacob River, which was originally empty, with flowers blooming, and even ordinary people here are rich.
Although she was also from the Witch Secret Association, the Witch Secret Association was beyond the reach here, and her intervention was relatively limited, and her main voice was still in the hands of Angebena. If it weren't for her background, the Manyu Army would have been hers. What's wrong with Patleme?
I heard that Angelbena’s subordinates lack basic managers who can entrust important tasks. This is their excellent opportunity. What are you waiting for if you don’t run here?
As for the original territory, it will be lost if it is lost. It is no pity, because there is basically only one piece of land left here.
Viscount Philip may be a good general, but he is definitely not a good lord who is proficient in construction. He has been in a military confrontation with Patleme over the years. He was in a military confrontation with the people under his rule. If it weren't for the resurrection of the Jacob River, the entire Manyu military leader would have become suitable for farming and his output could barely make ends meet, and the place would have become a ghost, because the support from the Lancelot royal family would have been cut off.
In recent years, the people under Viscount Philip's rule have been fleeing fiercely and have to adopt coercive contingency measures to barely curb.
Viscount Philip was able to accept Grand Duke Cedric's advice for many reasons. If he had had a few glimmer of hope, he would never have let go so easily.
Angelbena refused them and even gave reward policies to encourage them to motivate all the people in their territory.
For her, what she lacks now is not territory, but manpower. Compared to her own territory, it is not easier to attract ready-made people. Since her secret meeting with Sean before the New Year, Angie Benna has launched a series of preferential policies to try to attract the hierarchy of other territories to come and join.
There have indeed been some results, but they are far from what is expected.
Because several of her neighbors are not good at it.
Needless to say, the upstream Eternal Night Army Corps have always been absorbing population from other territories. What they want to absorb is basically dreaming. Fortunately, they were built by Andes. If they were replaced by Byrons of the same skin color, Angie Benna would have no way of life, and the population would have been sucked dry long ago.
The downstream is the Regent Princess Sufiliya and Angie Benna have the advantages, which are basically here. She is not only the one who vigorously develops ports and trade, but the development speed of Sufiliya's princess territory is no worse than her.
Angelbena started from scratch and made many things through her own efforts.
Sufeilia has been here for many years and has already laid a foundation. After the Jacob River re-flowed, the grain transport ship led by Yongye Army never stopped. The annual transaction volume is definitely a huge number, and most of it was injected into the territory and construction by her.
It has been stable and prosperous for many years, with the unique pride of the Asia Minor Plain. In their eyes, except for the Asia Minor Plain, other places are remote areas. There is only the only way for others to run to them. There is no such thing as saying that they are running to other territories. It is basically a delusion to attract people here.
The Kingsley family is a very good target. There are a large number of mine slaves in their territory. Even if they do not have external suction, they still want to escape.
However, the military control here is very powerful, and Angie Benna cannot come blatantly, and the number of mine slaves who can escape privately is very limited.
In the past six months, Angelbena has absorbed the main personnel under the rule of Patleme and Viscount Philip, but they quickly noticed this threat and took harsh responses.
Now that Viscount Philip is evacuated and Patleme takes over, there is a gap in between, so it is naturally a great opportunity for Angebena to attack.
She gave up Viscount Philip's territory, but she did not say that she had given up on his conquest.
After Patlem took over Viscount Philip's territory, he found that nine out of ten rooms were empty, and nearly two-thirds of the population were scrapped away by Viscount Philip and Angie Benna. The rest were all old, weak, sick and disabled. He guarded such a large territory but did not conquer the people. What's the use?
The angry Grand Duke Patrime had basically no choice but to send a letter to express a strong condemnation to Angebena. He could not start a war with Angebena for this?
He is not a fool. The result of doing so will only make his territory worse and give the Holy Ethereal Church more opportunities to gain a foothold.
Although the leader went to Angebena, he was at least under his own rule. The nominal oath of allegiance was also oath of allegiance. At least the pseudo-noble word "The Pseudo-God" could be removed. Viscount Philip announced that he had given up his inheritance right, and he was the legitimate first heir.
Now instead of going to war with that little bitch of Angie Benna, it is better to develop his own territory and restore the economy peacefully. Now the Manyu military leader is considered a good weather and has two-thirds of the territory in his hands. He doesn't believe that he will be able to be compared by a villain?
As long as the territory recovers and prospers, he does not believe that the leaders will not run back. After all, he is the real ruler of the Manyu army.
The Yongye Army leader paid some attention to the changes in the political landscape of his neighbors. After finding that the other party had no sign of moving Angebena and moving Jacob River, he ignored it. They were even more widespread and were placed in a huge swamp of despair. There was not so much manpower and material resources to develop, let alone expanding new territory.
The main action of the Eternal Night Army Leader this year is still revolving around racial integration. Not only is the plan for the new forces of the Desperate Swamp Crocodile tribe, but now there is another one of Andys's Kentana Barbarians in the East Mountains.
