"The expansion I'm talking about is aimed at the wilderness. Use the power of the whole country to open up new territories in the wilderness."
Brando answered word by word, then he stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and looked at Andrew, who looked at him with a complicated expression. The Druid elder took a breath, but felt a little self-conscious.
Do not believe:
"But the law of nature lies in circulation. As the lord of a place, you can naturally make things easier. But just like a force, where there is oppression, there is resistance. You pushing all this with your own power is certainly a good thing for the entire world of order.
It's a good thing, but others may not agree with it." The other party paused and replied in a different way: "Opening up the boundaries of civilization is a dangerous and difficult thing, especially today, Lord, you will risk being rejected by most people.
Are you opposed to the risk of pursuing all this?”
"In fact, it's not that difficult. Interests always drive people to action." Brando replied. He couldn't help but think to himself that this was just like gold and silver driving Portugal and Spain to go to sea. He was just repeating his kindness.
It’s just the path that Prince Rick has walked. Besides, apart from the temple, only he knows how much value there is in the wilderness. It’s just that the temple needs to measure the ratio between investment and return, but he doesn’t.
There are ready-made examples.
"The rewards obtained from the wilderness will naturally become the driving force for Eruin to move forward further. And people are always forgetful. When there is gold in hand, only a few people will see the risks that come with it," the young lord
Answer: "Not to mention, when most people's lives improve, they will never want to go back to the past."
"You are so sure that your investment will yield returns, and it is common to make ends meet." Andrew retorted: "Once there is a setback at the beginning of the plan, it will be a devastating blow to your entire idea."
Brando secretly smiled in his heart. The other party was already thinking on his side, which meant that he had persuaded them. After all, the temptation of this matter is inherent to the Druids and is almost irresistible. "That's why I need you.
"Coupled with my experience," he replied: "With careful planning and a little luck, everything comes with risks. You see that individual pioneering behaviors often fail because they lack strong support behind them.
This help is the support of the territories and lords, and even the entire kingdom.”
Brando thought to himself, in fact, some big lords occasionally engage in spontaneous pioneering behavior. However, with so many enemies, no one dares to invest too much in unknown fields. Therefore, this kind of investment is often a one-time thing.
If you don't return, over time, no one will be interested in the wilderness except real gamblers.
But this is also because most people do not have a clear understanding of the wilderness. However, he has an advantage, that is, he knows that his investment will definitely yield returns. This is the advantage of experience.
Andrew was silent for a long time, and finally he nodded: "Okay, Lord, you have convinced me. If you can really do all this, what do you need us to do?"
"It's not what I need you to do," Brando replied: "But you have to protect your fruits, and you will understand. In this world, it is not just my ambitions, the greed of other lords, you have not truly understood
I’ve seen it before.”
Elder Druid nodded, "I understand," he replied: "I have to say, sir, you are the best lobbyist I have ever seen."
Brando smiled slightly. He picked up the two letters from the table: "There is one last thing I want to ask you."
"Say." Andrew took a breath. Brando's previous words even made him a little excited. If it can really be done, it will be a huge change to the entire world of order. If
The benevolent Ek is the biggest pioneer after the Year of Chaos, so this young man will probably dominate the history of the next era.
If he can succeed.
"Send two letters for me."
"Letter? To whom?" Elder Druid asked.
"You can reach Port Gris east of here from the nearest distance through the forest. Some of my subordinates are there at the moment." Brando replied: "Send this letter to a man named Leto, the copper dragon.
On his hand, the red copper dragon is his name, I’m sure you can’t get it wrong.”
Andrew took the letter, read it, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"
Brando shook his head: "There is nothing else, and the only thing left is to be proved by time. I have other things, so I won't send them to you. I wish you all success -"
Andrew nodded, "Then farewell." He led the two of them to bow deeply to the young lord, then opened the door and went out. Only then did Fuluo on the side raise his head and watched the three of Andrew leave.
, turned around and asked: "Lord, will you hand over the letter to them as well?" Although the wild elf girl always knew that Brando was doing everything right, she was still uneasy about strangers.
Because she didn’t understand why Brando would trust three people he had never met before. Not only did he entrust Funia to the other party, he also handed over the matter of life and death to the other party. Even if the other party was a druid,
But what should we do if this identity is fake?
But Brando naturally couldn't explain the reason to her. His understanding of the Druid in the Amber Sword could only be explained by the wizard's knowledge. But on the other hand, he couldn't say that he actually knew these guys.
Right? Asked where they met? It was more than ten years later. After the Holy Stone Conference, he gained the reputation of the Deadwood Council for a long time, just for the series of copies and tasks in the ruins of Valhalla. At that time
In this era, Grudin has long been wiped out. It was the most powerful era after Eruin's resurgence. Speaking of it now, I'm afraid no one except a madman would believe it.
He thought for a moment and replied: "The copper dragon Leto has actually been in contact with Freya. It is not troublesome to send a letter to Princess Griffin."
The elf girl stared at him. "You know that's not what I'm talking about," she said angrily, "Lord."
Brando smiled.
"Of course I know what you are talking about, Miss Elf," he replied, "but you also have to admit that I know the druids better than you. So believe me, they are telling the truth, 'Prophecy in the Forest'
'This time has come a long time ago. The Druids' respect for Niya is far beyond your imagination. Delivering a letter to me is just an outside activity. Besides, I believe Andrew will regard this matter as a test.
"For them, everything I said before is a vision that they have never imagined," Brando thought for a while and added: "If you can't put yourself in their values, it's hard for you to understand their views on this matter.
How seriously do you take this matter seriously?"
"But."
"There is no other option," Brando simply made up an excuse: "Besides, that is a consideration in itself, and I also have backup means."
"Backup means?" Fro looked at her suspiciously, thinking why didn't she know? Knowing that the two letters that Andrew just took away were copied by Antitina, she didn't believe that Brando would prepare more.
Much, after getting along with him for such a long time, she gradually began to understand this young man.
"Of course," Brando couldn't help but look at the elf lady on the side, but Fuluo remained expressionless as always. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of an idea, so he asked: "How is the material statistics going?"
Fuluo lowered her head and looked at him, with a flash of contempt in her eyes. She thought that she would interrupt a girl in such a rogue way, not to mention that she was his summoned creature. However, she looked down upon him, so she still opened the book in her hand and talked straightforwardly.
Answer: "We have checked the barns and found that there are almost 50,000 bushels of grain stored in them, which is enough to support the entire city's consumption for three to four months. However, the material warehouses are basically in short supply, and the stone, pig iron and wood are far less than the records, as well as the specific outflows.
There’s no way to check the direction—”
A deficit is normal. Judging from Grudin's ability, it's a blessing that he didn't turn the Fir Barony into a black forest. But what we really want to thank are the druids in the forest, although the former is missing.
You must know that there is still a group of people like this in the forest.
Brando shook his head, "The shortage of stone and wood must be solved in some way. Fir City is not safe now. The walls damaged in the battle the day before yesterday must be repaired and reinforced immediately." He couldn't help but *** thinking of this.
***Forehead, in the "Lord Mode" in the game, materials were all quantified. This method of convenience for the player caused him huge trouble at this moment. For example, in the game, reinforcing a section of the city wall
Requires 2 units of stone and wood——
However, Brando has no idea how much stone and wood two units should cost in reality. As for consulting Antitina and others for their opinions, it is a pity that although Antitina is knowledgeable, she is not available.
To be omniscient and omnipotent, especially for this kind of thing, I'm afraid you have to consult a professional masonry or management official.
But the crux of the problem is that whether it is masonry or officials, Fir City is now in short supply of everything. And those captured garrison captains are unwilling to do things for her, and most of them are Grudin's mercenaries.
The people recruited cannot answer these professional questions at all. In fact, they don't know as much as Huque, although Huque is not much better than Antitina.
Brando felt a headache when he thought of this problem.
He shook his head and said: "In short, how much stock do we have? Is it enough to repair the city wall?"
Fuluo glanced at him and thought, my lord, you chopped off half of the south city gate with a sword just to show off, and you didn't ask for it. However, she complained in her heart, but she replied expressionlessly: "My lord,
In fact, to put it simply, it is basically equal to no——"
