Chapter 430 Theory of Economic Predation

What a bloody battle, a broken mouth and a bloody fortress.

What is the difference between ten and a thousand?

What about a hundred cavalry defeating the city?

What kind of attack with thousands of horses and thousands of miles?

How could three thousand cavalry defeat a hundred thousand orcs?

For them, there are countless such glorious stories, and many of them can tell them easily without being able to tell the truth from the false.

Under a great reputation, there are usually two situations, one with a bad reputation and one with no merit.

Broken Mouth Blood Rider obviously belongs to the latter.

Because they are different from ordinary people who seek fame and reputation. They have been at the border all year round. If they didn't have their own uniqueness, they would have been disabled by the Odin orcs long ago. They will not cooperate with your acting.

The uniqueness of the Broken Blood Riders is not only reflected in their size and training, but also in their spirit and gaze.

I don’t know whether the overall situation of the Broken Blood Castle is like this, or whether it was Archduke Cedric’s intention. None of the armors on the Broken Blood Horse accompanying him are brand new, and they are covered with repair marks. This will certainly affect their health.

It's beautiful, but it adds a bit of evil spirit out of thin air.

Their armor was completely blood-colored. It is said that it was not this color in the first place, but that it became blood-colored because it was stained with too much blood and could not be washed away.

Anyone with some common sense will know that this is a myth. After the blood dries, it is not blood red, but darker.

The color of this armor makes them very eye-catching on the battlefield and easy to assemble. It also shows that they are super confident in their own strength. Because of their distinctive appearance, it also makes them easier to become targets of concentrated fire.

But the lingering smell of blood on their bodies was real.

Just like a farmer who rolls in the ground all year round will have the smell of earth, and a person who works with wood all year round will have the smell of wood on his body. Only those who have been immersed in fighting all year round will have such a strong smell of death.

They were like a group of wild beasts jumping into a herd of herbivores, and they were incompatible with the peace and stability of the royal family Valesta.

Fortunately, they are a group of guardians, not killers, otherwise the entire Valesta would be dragged into the bloody sea purgatory by them.

Sean didn't get to meet Archduke Cedric right away.

There is no way, Valesta is a city that pays great attention to qualifications.

Although he has the power of a Grand Duke, he does not have the name of a Grand Duke. Even if he has a close relationship with the regent Princess Sophia, it still cannot change the fact that he is just a baron.

Regent Princess Sophia is still in this position, so she has to abide by the rules of the game. Sean is not qualified to participate in some high-profile public banquets, at least as a baron.

This is also the reason why Sean asked the regent Princess Sophia for the title of hereditary earl.

To a certain extent, this identity is an admission ticket. Even if you know it is a false name, you really can't do it without it.

This matter is already in operation and has not encountered any obstacles so far. For a decadent bureaucracy like the Heraldry Institute, don't have high expectations for its efficiency. It is normal for it to drag on for a year and a half, even if it lasts forever.

The leader of the night army was not stingy this time. He took action directly and had to go through the normal process for several months.

It's not that they deliberately made things difficult, but they searched the archives to see if they could connect Sean with a noble bloodline in history. Only in this way would all the famous sayings be correct and in line with the rules and procedures.

Well!

There really isn't one, and it doesn't stop them from creating one. It's not the first time they've done this, and it's not the last time they've done it.

Sean was not worried at all about whether he would be able to see Archduke Cedric.

Privately, he has a close relationship with Sophia Liya, who is her blood relative. She may not show off to outsiders, but she may not necessarily hide her family.

Yu Gong and Grand Duke Cedric are indirect allies. Many good things led by the Yongye Army have flowed to the Broken Blood Castle through the hands of the Princess Regent. The ones currently known include Flying Eagle Message, War Beast, Blade Throwing Vehicle and

Black powder.

Anyone with a bit of strategic vision can see the value contained in it, let alone Archduke Cedric, a super commander who is famous all over the world.

Sean had already expected that Arch Cedric would value him, but he didn't expect that he would be valued so much.

The large reception party held by the Regent Princess Sophia for Archduke Cedric had just ended, and he accompanied Sophia to Sean's private estate.

After the meeting, Archduke Cedric said nothing and kept circling around Sean, observing him with a critical look.

Sean secretly screamed, "Oh no," the other party was obviously not looking at himself with the eyes of his allies, but with the eyes of his nephew and son-in-law.

Compared with the former, this situation will be more difficult.

As expected, Sophia, who was following Archduke Cedric, was winking at Sean, obviously hinting to him that her grandfather already knew about their relationship.

In the eyes of all parents and relatives, their children are unique treasures in the world. If you want to marry or marry them, you must have matching abilities, no matter whether their children are as outstanding and beautiful as they imagined.

Archduke Cedric is not immune.

Although the two are separated by generations, their close relationship is above that of an ordinary father and daughter, because Archduke Cedric poured all his guilt and debt towards his daughter into Sophia.

However, the way Archduke Cedric loves his children is obviously different from ordinary parents. He has stricter requirements for his close relatives. It is this strict requirement that shapes Sophia's character, who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

, provoked the Lancelot royal family at a critical moment.

Sophilia's performance in the past few years has made Grand Duke Cedric extremely satisfied. She should be regarded as the most outstanding one among his immediate family members.

The biggest regret is probably that she was born a daughter, otherwise she would definitely be a qualified king of the Lancelot royal family. With her own help, she could lead the Lancelot royal family and the Strachey family to a new glory.

Sophilia's outstanding performance on the throne, coupled with the unwritten rules within the Lancelot royal family, caused many people to ignore her marital problems, including her grandfather Cedric.

When he unexpectedly learned that his precious granddaughter had a private life and was the leader of a new force that had just emerged from the mountains, you can imagine how he felt in his heart.

He admitted that before this, he was very optimistic about this little guy who started from scratch and took advantage of countless opportunities to constantly move around and create a world of his own.

He also admitted that the series of war weapons brought by the other party made him salivate, and to a large extent, they would subvert the future war pattern.

But this does not mean that this guy is qualified to marry the treasure in his hand.

Fortunately, the other party is at least not as bad as the legend says.

Because the closer we get to Valesta, the more messy news about Sean, and all of it reaches the ears of Archduke Cedric.

What upstart?

What lucky entrant?

What greedy person?

What despicable person?

These are pretty good.

Rumors and news are flying all over the place, such as the dragon and the phoenix, the face-shou and pretty boy kept in captivity by the regent princess.

Although Grand Duke Cedric didn't want to believe these messy things, he didn't think that the little Sophia Liya he had trained by himself would degenerate like this.

But if you can't stand up to everyone's opinions and make money, and you care about it, it will lead to chaos.

Your mood will be affected to some extent.

Although from the moment he met the regent Princess Sophia, he could be sure that those rumors were just rumors, his impression of Sean had been lowered to a very low level.

Sean's first impression of him was pretty good, at least the rumors of him being a pretty boy with a pink head and a pink face were self-defeating.

Sean, who is nearly two meters tall and has bulging muscles all over his body, absolutely cannot match that word.

The whole body is clean and tidy. Except for the slightly flat facial contour and the slight difference in skin and hair color, there is not much difference from the Byron nobles. At least there is no fishy odor like that of the barbarians.

.

What really made Archduke Cedric feel good about him was the military demeanor that Sean displayed while sitting and lying down. This was a sign of self-discipline.

If a person can strictly demand himself in his daily life, then his character will not be too bad.

While Archduke Cedric was evaluating Sean, Sean was also sizing up the Kingdom Knight of the Byron Alliance.

Not only did the other party exude an awe-inspiring aura, but his appearance was also very consistent with Sean's imagination of a knight. He was tall, had a Chinese-character face that could easily win people's trust, was unsmiling, and had average but not harsh eyes.

With this appearance alone, he can easily win the trust of many people in a crisis, even without the name of the Grand Duke and his outstanding achievements in the past.

Compared to him, Sean's military aura was only half-assed. The military aura in Archduke Cedric had been integrated into his bones, and his every word and deed had such a strong aura.

The recognition is quite high.

He and the army he leads should be a model military model in the world.

"I've met His Excellency the Grand Duke. I should be the one to meet you. I feel really sorry to have His Excellency the Grand Duke come to your door in person." Sean was the first to break the deadlock. His tone was neither humble nor arrogant. When dealing with such a person, if you act too humble, you will end up being too humble.

It is easy to be looked down upon by the other party.

"You want to marry my niece?" Archduke Cedric ignored Sean's politeness and looked at him with piercing eyes.

The opponent drew his sword faster than Sean imagined, and he went straight to the point as soon as he got started.

Sean nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right, it's not a matter of wanting to marry, it's a matter of me marrying you."

"Haha... What a loud tone." Although Archduke Cedric was laughing, his eyes were cold, "Why do you have that?"

"It only took me thirteen years to unify the Andis people and lead them out of the mountains. With the 100,000 elite troops in my hands, and the land area we now have, it is no less than any military leader.

The trade tax revenue of our Eternal Night Army in the territory of the Lancelot royal family has accounted for one-third of the total tax revenue of the Lancelot royal family." Sean waved his hand and shook off his proud achievements.

come out.

At this time, especially when facing someone like Archduke Cedric, it is not the time to hide and play with self-effacement.

"That's all?" Archduke Cedric asked expressionlessly.

"These are just the achievements I have made in the past. I have just turned 8 this year. Both my life and my territory are just in their infancy. I cannot guarantee whether I can continue to create brilliance and miracles in the future, but at least I have

This is possible, isn't it? Your Majesty the Grand Duke!" Sean smiled and asked, "Shouldn't the most anticipated thing in this world be the future? I feel that to measure a person, one should not use the past, but the future.

"

"It's a good idea to measure a person not by his past, but by his future." Archduke Cedric's eyes lit up. Sean's unique argument was indeed somewhat different.

Sean said solemnly: "But in my opinion, these are not the most important."

"Oh?" Archduke Cedric said with an even more interested expression, "What do you think is the most important?"

"The most important thing is that when Your Highness comes to my side, she will have a broader space to give full play to her strengths. I am willing to work with her to build our territory and create our own glory." Sean said sincerely.

road.

It’s unclear whether Grand Duke Cedric was impressed or not, but at least the regent Princess Sophia on the other side had her beautiful eyes twinkling after hearing this.

To her, this is the most beautiful love story in the world.

"It sounds very nice, but it's far from enough." Archduke Cedric shook his head.

Xiao En was stunned for a moment and said with a sincere expression: "I don't understand what His Excellency the Grand Duke means, please enlighten me."

Archduke Cedric's views are also unconventional. "I have also done a little research on your rise and development. Not to mention the luck in it, this is also part of your strength. Your rapid development, to a certain extent,

The above is based on plunder.

In the early days, you used the hands of the slave rebels of Manyu Army to plunder the wealth of Manyu Army Leader as nutrients for your own growth.

In the middle period, you passed through the Jacob River from the Asia Minor plains, plundered a large amount of wealth from Valesta, and strengthened yourself.

Now it is through eating the native Crocodile people in the Despair Swamp and the wealth squeezed from the Kingsley family as a driving force for development.

Although the methods you use are very clever, they still cannot change the nature of plunder.

Next, who are you going to plunder to maintain your rapid development?

How can you maintain your current rapid development when you have nothing to plunder?"

Sean's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but straighten his back and look at the kingdom knight again.

The other party's analysis, to a certain extent, is close to the essence of the rapid development of the Yongye Army.

Many people are amazed by the many brilliance and development speed created by the Yong Ye Army Leader, but they don't know the reason why they can always maintain rapid development.

From an economic perspective, it is what Archduke Cedric just said - plunder.

Through commerce and trade, they plunder the wealth of the outside world and use it to enrich themselves.

This kind of wealth is not limited to gold, silver and jewelry, but also various resources and labor force.

Anyone who has economic and trade relations with Yongye Army Leader is, to a certain extent, working for Yongye Army Leader.

On this point, Princess Regent Sophia didn't see it as thoroughly as Archduke Cedric.

Trees grow old and become spirits, and people grow old and become monsters.

This kind of old guy who has lived long enough has too much knowledge to judge by common sense.

Now that he has cut through the surface and looked directly at the essence, Sean no longer hides it, and answered straightforwardly: "This time in the Swamp of Despair, we are already full, and there will be no expansion in the next few years.

At least there will be no more in the territory. The main energy should be transferred to construction. His Excellency the Grand Duke is right. Commercial plunder is one of the fundamental reasons for our rapid development in the past, but it will definitely not become the core of our future development. Our own construction and

Development is fundamental.

We will never give up this method voluntarily. In the short term, the focus of business and trade will still be on the Jacob River, but the focus in the future will not be on this. We have preliminary plans in two aspects."

"Which two aspects?" The person who asked this time was not Archduke Cedric, but the Regent Princess Sophia. She was not angry because Archduke Cedric pointed out that the Eternal Night Army had launched a trade plunder on its territory.

.

Being in the game, she could see some real things more clearly than Archduke Cedric.

Although it is true that the Eternal Night Army leaders plundered a large amount of wealth from the territory of the Lancelot royal family, they also brought many good things that they did not have before - not to mention black powder, blade-throwing vehicles and other war weapons, such as

New tools such as waterwheels, water saws, and water mills are being promoted by the Yongye Army.

The most important thing is that the arrival of the Eternal Night Army leader revitalized the economy of the Lancelot royal family territory, using a large amount of luxury goods to plunder the wealth from the hands of the nobles and nobles. Some of it was taken away by the Eternal Night Army leader, and some of it was taken away by the Eternal Night Army leader.

The leader of the Yongye Army turned it over to the people who worked for them.
