When the map of the Odin Empire was displayed in Bruno's sight in detail, Bruno's admiration for the wonder construction system suddenly arose spontaneously.
When playing Civilization 6 in his previous life, Bruno, who liked to climb the technology tree, was used to looking at the locations of various strategic resources in advance, and then letting his pioneers run over and sit in the city.
Now, the wonder construction system also clearly shows Bruno the distribution of various strategic resources.
Leaving aside the wood on the surface and the like, the ore resources hidden beneath the surface, such as iron ore and aluminum ore, were also clearly arranged on the map in Bruno's sight.
The Odin Empire has so many mineral resources!
Looking at the resource distribution map displayed for him by the wonder construction system, Bruno's eyes gradually became hot...
mine!
These should all be mine!
If you can find a way to obtain the mining rights of mineral resources, this will become an important boost to the development of magic industrialization!
Thinking of this, Bruno couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
…
The next day.
The rising sun began to poke its head over the distant horizon, and the warm morning breeze began to blow through the treetops. As the street lights slowly dimmed after a sleepless night, the shouts of the newsboys gradually appeared in Idar City.
Streets and alleys.
"Odin's defeat! Great victory on the front line!"
The voices of the newsboys were a little childish, but the content of their words was like thunder.
For a moment, the pedestrians on the street stopped and the residents on the street also walked out of their homes.
With the release of the new issue of Idar Daily, news of the victory of the Idar army in the Dell Hills began to spread wildly in the lands of the Idar Territory.
The people in the Idar Territory cheered for joy, while the travelers coming and going were astonished.
Everyone knows how strong the military power of the Odin people is. Even the Norman Empire has to avoid the edge temporarily, but... the Idar Territory, a new star that has risen in the eastern part of the empire in recent months, has made those ferocious
Odin was also defeated!
Seeing the surprise and envy on the faces of the business travelers, the pride in the hearts of the Idar people was instantly satisfied.
Don't keep saying that the interior of the empire is far stronger than the eastern frontier of the empire. The elders of Idar still look down on the bumpkins from St. Lawrence!
"Odin's Marshal Portia Mariano was killed on the spot! More than 13,000 Odin soldiers were almost wiped out!"
When Aemon read out bit by bit what was written in the newspaper, the Idar people surrounding him suddenly became excited.
Portia Mariano!
Marshal Odin, who led his army to attack the Norman Empire, who had experienced hundreds of battles and posed a huge threat to the Norman Empire, was actually killed in the war with the Idars!
Almost everyone who heard the news had a feeling of disbelief on their faces.
But... Merlin News Agency, as the official news channel of Idar Territory, has unparalleled credibility, so the content of Idar Daily cannot be false!
You must know that these words and information recorded on the paper will be spread to all parts of the Idar Territory, and even carried to every corner of the continent by businessmen coming and going!
If there are any mistakes or omissions, wouldn't it make people laugh?
"Give me one!"
The Idar people who could spell and read aloud had already surrounded the children selling newspapers, each holding a copper plate high, wanting to see with their own eyes the content recorded in the Idar daily newspaper.
As for those people who could not spell yet, they gathered around the Idar people who read loudly and listened excitedly to the major victory achieved by the Idar army!
After several weeks of study, although Eamonn knew a limited number of words and phrases, he was already able to roughly read the contents of the newspaper due to his talent.
Therefore, this guy who could only listen to others dictating the contents of the newspaper a few days ago was actually able to tell the glorious deeds of Idar's army while surrounded by everyone.
This feels really good!
Aemon thought sincerely.
…
Baths of Caracalla.
Although the first floor of the Baths of Caracalla is crowded most of the time, the second floor of the baths is usually less crowded.
It is divided into many separate rooms, each with its own private bath and equipped with dedicated servants to receive distinguished guests.
Depending on the size of the room, services and level of luxury, the price of each bath ranges from one silver shilling to one gold coin.
In a room on the second floor of the large bathhouse, Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale, was hiding in the bathtub with his eyes squinted, enjoying the rare silence.
Opposite him, Count Bailey was also huddled in the warm water, recharging his energy.
Earl Dale and Earl Bailey were the only two nobles from the eastern part of the empire who decided to stay in the Idar Territory after the "Measures for the Movement of Nobles in the Eastern Empire and the Guidelines for Immigration of Nobles" approved by Bruno officially came into effect.
However, since she decided to stay in the Idar territory, Count Dale's wife has raised a lot of objections. Even the old housekeeper who has always been obedient to her has repeatedly mentioned this matter, hoping that he would consider it carefully.
Although the behavior of the old butler did break the rules, Earl Dale also knew that his butler had always been loyal to the Dennis family and was not just a servant in the ordinary sense. He mentioned it repeatedly just out of good intentions.
As for the naturally optimistic Count Bailey...this silly boy in his early twenties is hopelessly in love with a beautiful girl Idar. So...ahem!
The laws of Idar territory protect the legitimate rights and interests of Idar citizens, so even Earl Bailey, a Norman nobleman, can only give up his privileges and honestly find his own rights within the framework of Idar laws.
love.
In fact, Count Dale was even more nervous than Bruno himself about whether the Idar Territory could win this war.
Because Bruno at least knew the strength of the Idar army and knew that the Idar people had powerful weapons and a complete command system, but... Count Dale knew nothing about it.
Everything in the Idar Territory was novel to him, and the spiritual outlook of the Idar people and their support for the Stuart family were unmatched by any other aristocratic territory.
It was precisely because of this that he made the decision to stay here.
However, when Earl Dale watched the nobles from the eastern part of the empire hurriedly leave the Idar territory and fled towards the interior of the Norman Empire after paying high tolls, he finally felt hesitant and at a loss.
.
The incomprehensible, doubtful and slightly mocking looks that those nobles gave him when they left the Idar territory made Count Dale want to give up on the decision he had made countless times and leave with those nobles.
He really didn't know whether the Idar Territory could survive the invasion of the Odin Empire, let alone whether the decision he made was wrong or right.
so……
He could only escape the reality for a short time and relieve the anxiety deep in his heart by taking a bath in the Caracalla Baths every day.
But today...
At some point, even though he was on the second floor of the Baths of Caracalla, Count Dale vaguely heard the noise coming from the outside world.
I thought it would pass after a while, but as time passed, the sounds coming from outside the bathhouse became more and more noisy.
"What's going on outside?" Earl Dale looked a little unhappy.
The attendant outside the door hurriedly walked in and said with a happy face: "Reporting to Lord Dennis, Idar led the victory! The Odin people were defeated!"
"What?!"
Earl Dale was shocked and stood up from the water.
"Ouch!"
Count Bailey who was opposite him quickly covered his eyes and secretly observed through the gaps between his fingers.
The Idars are victorious!
When hearing the news, Earl Dale felt as if he was in a dream.
Although Earl Dale has always hoped that the Idar Territory could win this war, but... after all, it is a country that can compete with the Norman Empire!
Moreover... the Idar army still took the initiative to attack!
How long has it been since then?!
Was it such an easy victory?
Those savage and ferocious Odin people have not even set foot on the land of Idar territory, but they have been beaten back by the Idar army on the land north of the Sauron River?!
Like a dream!
Like thunder!
This is the truest strength of the Idar Territory!
Even though the numbers were at a disadvantage and the terrain was at a disadvantage, Odin's army was still defeated!
There was nothing else to do, and he didn't care about Count Bailey who was busy with the eye of a needle. Woolley Dennis quickly dressed up and came to the garden terrace on the second floor of the Baths of Caracalla.
I saw that the square in front of the bathhouse was filled with cheering people. The people at the lowest level of Idar were dancing and singing, using the simplest body language to celebrate this huge victory!
This is a victory for all the people of Idar!
Everyone knows that after having the Odin Empire as a stepping stone, anyone who wants to pay attention to the Idar Territory must carefully consider it!
This is no longer killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, this is killing the monkeys to scare the chickens!
“When will our immigration application be approved?”
Looking at the grand scene in the square, Woolley Dennis turned back and asked Count Bailey who had just walked over.
"Idar...people from the Idar Immigration Administration said that they still need to carefully...carefully review..."
The young Earl Bailey was also shocked by the scene before him, and he stuttered in reply.
That’s right!
Even though Woolley Dennis, Earl of Dale, had made the decision to immigrate to the Idar territory, the Idar Immigration Administration, which is responsible for reviewing immigration applications, has never given a clear instruction or reply.
This is not because the official officials of the Idar Territory are deliberately making things difficult, nor is it because the Idar Immigration Administration is slow in handling matters, but because Bruno has not yet figured out how to deal with these nobles in the eastern part of the empire.
Bruno never thought that among the countless cowardly Norman nobles, there would be people who risked being chopped off by the Odins to immigrate to the Idar territory and honestly work as cowards in the interior of the empire.
Isn’t that a good thing?!
What's more, most of the industries in Idarland basically belong to "state-owned capitalism". Glass workshops, rose essential oil workshops and many other industries are almost all run by the Stuart family.
It is precisely for this reason that the Idar Territory does not have strict tax policies for many industries.
Anyway, no matter what, the profits from these industries are stuffed into the treasury of Idarland...
The arrival of other nobles means that Bruno will start to fill the gaps in the tax policy of Idar Territory, so as to better improve the fiscal revenue and expenditure system of Idar Territory.
But Earl Dale did not know the above.
He only knew that the immigration policy introduced by the Idar Territory was clearly intended to make the nobles of the empire leave the eastern part of the empire quickly, so that the Idar Territory could scribble on this white paper at will.
so……
At this moment, Earl Dale plans to go to the Idar Immigration Administration in person.
He would rather increase his investment ratio and take the initiative to increase immigration fees, but also tie himself firmly to the Idar territorial chariot!
Earl Dale is a smart man!
When he first set foot on the land of Idar Territory, he clearly realized the potential of Idar Territory, and when he watched the Idar Territory easily repel the Odin people, Woolley
·Dennis’s confidence in Idar is even stronger!
The Idar Territory is definitely a rising powerful vassal, and even an independent kingdom that is slowly growing!!
Although the requirements for immigrating to the Idar Territory are almost strict, the future of the Idar Territory is limitless!
Isn’t it just giving up the legal claim to one’s original territory?
Doesn’t it mean that his title cannot exceed that of Count Idar?
Anyway, you will definitely not be able to get your territory back, so you might as well take part in the prosperous Idar Territory at the expense of this, and maybe you can also seek a better future for the Dennis family!
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
If you follow the path of other nobles, then you will always be just a remote nobleman far away from the core circle!
The Dennis family will always be a dispensable existence among the countless noble families in the Norman Empire!
so……
this time,
Earl Dale is extremely determined!
"Long live Idarland!"
Standing on the terrace of the Baths of Caracalla, under the astonished gaze of Count Bailey, Count Dale Woolley Dennis immediately entered the state of mind, and together with countless people in Idar, shouted loudly.
this day,
From the city of Idar to the Merin District, from the Namur Fortress to the Mann Fortress, the entire Idar Territory was boiling with news of the victory in the war.
And at the same time,
As the temporary meeting place in the sky garden ended,
The gryphon knights of the Idar territory soared into the sky, delivering the latest instructions from Bruno to the Idar army led by Sam Layton...
