"The princess must think that it is useless for me to build this Great Wall to waste the people and lose money, right?"

"You want to occupy the entire north!" Princess Angelina was really surprised. Such thoughts were too crazy!

"No, there are two dukes in the north, and I want to compete for territory with me."

Princess Angelina looked at Xia He and said nothing for a long time. Xia He smiled and said, "They also took away a year of food supplies, although they agreed to give them it."

Princess Angelina thought to herself, is Asra going to monopolize the north?

The Demon Realm has not been completely torn apart, and the war in the north will not be completed within one or two years. If the supplies cannot be obtained, the two dukes may have to give up all the land they have captured. As for the temple, it is estimated that this method will be used to deal with it.

"What should I do with the temple?" Princess Angelina couldn't help asking.

"The river has passed, why are the bridges still left?"

"You can eat so much?"

"Of course, if you are regent, Princess, wait until the two dukes and the temple are gone, and I will be repaired. You will have another decree and recognize my occupation of the north, so that's enough."

"Why?" Angelina curled her lips. Asra's appetite was too big.

"Guess?"

Xia He smiled and looked at the princess, Angelina's face disappeared. Asra, he was serious!

"Do you know, this is equivalent to cutting off one-third of the continent. How could people in the empire allow you to monopolize such a large territory? This is enough to establish a country."

"The emperor is not in a hurry, are they in a hurry?"

"Duke." Princess Angelina stood up from behind the table, lifted her skirt and walked around the table.

Xia He also stood up and seemed very polite.

"Your ambition is so great." Angelina came to Xia He and looked up at Xia He's face, which had almost no trace of time.

"That's because you didn't understand me." Xia He replied with a smile. How could Princess Angelina understand her ambition? Even His Majesty the Emperor will not understand.

Sometimes, your background has already limited your imagination.

You don’t know how terrible it is to conquer the multiverse. In your eyes, driving the believers of the gods out of the empire is already a supreme achievement.

"I can't understand you... Then why do I still issue a decree to determine your leadership in the north?"

"Because, you have good things, Your Highness."

"I just love to listen to this, just talk. Let me guess, I will chop your head." Princess Angelina said without hesitation.

"Your Highness, I am not good at fighting on land, but I am very good at building warships. After capturing this continent, I will build a powerful fleet for You and control the eastern coast. Let Museus control the south, you are in the middle, and I am in the north, if others want to go into the sea, they have to bypass the continent, and there is no advantage."

"You didn't say..."

"Yes, I don't know whether the sea to the east connects to the continent of Leo, but it will never be blank. In fact, I have sent people to investigate. In the depths of the eastern seas, storms are not so frequent, and flying warships may pass through."

"It's all empty things."

"How is that possible, Your Highness, my current goal is to conquer all the continents of this world. At least, let's circle around this star first. Look, I occupy Rhode Island, and then the north of the New World. If I can reach Leo again, I will take it down..."

"Then your territory will be more than the empire."

"There will be no less than ten worlds occupied by the royal family. It is not small or medium-sized."

Princess Angelina leaned against the desk, thinking about Xia He's suggestions. This guy, I'm afraid he really has the plan to become king, how should he face him?

Thinking of this problem that made her difficult, Angelina said in her mouth: "Asla, your foundation is still insufficient. I know that Asla Magic Academy has produced many legends, but compared with the nine major academies, the gap is too big. Your population is not enough to support your comprehensive war plan."

"But I have the support of the empire."

"empire?"

"You are the empire."

"Hahahaha! I think you would never dare to speak like this when my father was there." Princess Angelina smiled so hard that she couldn't lean on the table and pointed at Xia Hedao: "I didn't expect that you were so anxious."

"Actually, I can do it alone." Xia He's words made Princess Angelina stop laughing.

"Do it alone?"

"Control the north, as long as you use the emperor's leave as an excuse, who dares to go to war with me? However, I still pay great attention to reputation. I had a little cooperative relationship with the temple before, so I don't want to break up and fight directly. So I'm here to surrender to you. When you give your order, we will form an expeditionary force, head east to march into the sea."

"Then what?"

"The situation in the New World is unstable. The temple is behind. Your Highness, you must be worried, so you issued an order to ask the imperial nobles to attack the temple."

"Duke, I'm sure you're not dreaming." Princess Angelina sighed.

"Is there any difficulty?"

"Of course it's a dilemma. There is not a single indigenous person in such a large continent. It's a lot of money to develop it. Then there's a war. It's impossible not to fight the half-elf empire. The royal family will have a large part of its power to invest in it. In this way..."

"You can have private royal territory in the south and monitor the nobles in the south, right?"

"Um."

"Your Highness, how many nobles of the empire have completed my military reform?"

"There are not many, to be precise, none of them are there in my army. There are soldiers who are not professionals." Princess Angelina frowned.

"So, my army composition is too advanced. In fact, we can mobilize soldiers from another world and fight with our own army in the main world as the backbone. For example, a brigade of five hundred people can fully cooperate with an ordinary legion."

Princess Angelina listened patiently. If it was an old-fashioned legion, it would be better for a legion of 50,000 to 100,000 people. 50,000 people were the minimum number. If it was adapted, it would be better for the same as the new army. Six thousand people were a battalion, and ten battalions were equal to one legion.

Sixty thousand people are enough. With five hundred new troops as the main force, it doesn’t matter if the number of professionals in the 60,000 people is small. Anyway, magic muskets are getting cheaper and cheaper. If the enemy is not a fully professional army, there is no need to worry about head-on conflicts.

Xia He continued: "I will solve the equipment problem. The demons will solve it. I can provide ordinary soldiers with lighter scale armor, and their defense against low-level magic muskets is quite good. The scale armor only has a small amount of metal, and is made of demon bones, so that ordinary soldiers can have better load-bearing. Ordinary soldiers may only be able to command one or two robot warriors, so they are matched with the lowest level, level five robots."

Xia He said, and directly released a magical illusion in the room, saying, "Look, this is the scale armor I designed. I saw that there were no combat boots. From here, there was a supporting metal structure that reduced the soldiers' load by 80% of the time. As for the issue of magic ammunition, strengthen the training of soldiers, so that there was a combat robot around the soldiers, and an auxiliary robot to help carry more magical projectiles."

"You're ready?"

"That's right, when I adapted the army, I thought that if I faced a less powerful enemy, I would just use an ordinary legion to complete the task. Others laughed at me, spending a lot of money to support so many professional soldiers and training them to become professionals, they will sooner or later go bankrupt."

"But you are getting richer."

"The premise of being rich is to maintain a state of war. If everyone is peaceful, these soldiers will be useless."

"Why do you need so many ordinary soldiers?" Angelina suddenly asked.

"You know about planting factories?"

"Know."

"In the future, some cash crops will be planted in the fertile fields in the wild, and all the grain will be produced in factories. In fact, my territory will not require too many farmers in the future. If they are not allowed to join the army, they will have no work to do, and they will all rebel?"

"It's not a long-term solution."

"Of course not. I will expand the number of enrollment in the Magic Academy in the future so that everyone can afford to read. Perhaps not everyone can be a magician or a warrior, but after learning the knowledge, even if they become a magician or an apprentice, these people will be qualified to enter the factory."

Princess Angelina pondered, Duke Asra's ambition was greater than he thought, and he thought about what would happen a hundred years later, not in front of him.

"Will you send troops to attack the temple in person?" Princess Angelina suddenly asked.

"No, please give orders to other nobles to attack the fortress of the temple on the New World."

"I heard that you sold a lot of equipment to the temple?"

"Not bad, they are all the best. I also gave the temple half a year of food."

"Understood."

Princess Angelina sighed, if this would cause great losses to the nobles of the empire. After the losses of the nobles who expeditioned to the New World exceeded a certain number, they would not have the strength to compete for hegemony with Asra.

"When will I do it?" Angelina asked.

"I will start building the Great Wall on the eastern coast, and let it go here first. It will take about half a year. After half a year, Your Highness will be able to issue an order. Now clean up the demons in the central area of ​​the mainland."

"Then you owe me a fleet."

"No, it's a hundred boats." Xia He laughed.

"So much?" Princess Angelina looked at Xia He with her eyes squinted, trying to see something from his face.

"We are allies. If you provide legal principles for my Great Wall, I will naturally be rewarded."

Princess Angelina was stunned for a moment and thought to herself that when her father left, she would probably have let herself be regent because of the support of Duke Asra.

But my father didn't expect that Asra had such a big appetite.

"Then you write a plan for the military. I am still not satisfied with what I said now. My idea is to have a battalion of professional troops and a unit of ordinary troops."

This time it was Xia He's turn to frown. If you are equipped like this, the number of professional troops still seems to be insufficient.
Chapter completed!
