"So do you think that Marquis Scone Bellu also thought that I had strong support from the imperial royal family, and he didn't raise an issue at the meeting of nobles out of fear of the empire?" Yun Xiaohan asked.
"That's right, at first we only considered the power we had, but we forgot that in the eyes of people like Marquis Scone Bellu, the entire empire was our help.
Even if the empire no longer sends troops, there are still a large number of troops in the Snowman area. These troops have been fighting fiercely with the Merchant Alliance troops for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is only better than that of the private armies of the Sardinian nobles.
Originally, there was no navy, and the troops in the Snowman area could not threaten Sardinia. But now that Nelson's Thunderstorm Legion is here, the control of the sea is completely in our hands. We can transport as many troops as we want to Sardinia.
Not to mention you, Viscount Yun Xiaohan, although your troops are not large, their expansion speed is really amazing, and you are famous. Although I suspect that you have the support of the imperial family behind you, your record is real.
Yes, some people think you are the strongest general in the southern part of the empire.
Those conservative nobles are really afraid of you and don't want to meet you on the battlefield. At least they don't want to take such a risk when they have no advantage or certainty."
"The strongest general in the southern part of the empire?"
"Yes, although your ability to command large corps has not been fully recognized by these conservative nobles, no one can deny your ability to charge into battle."
"War general" and "war" are the key. Yun Xiaohan recalled his performance in a series of battles, then thought about his achievements in battles, and found that the title of "the strongest general in the southern part of the empire" was still there.
It's really apt.
However, his combat power is still a bit weak. If Yun Xiaohan were to challenge a hero-level NPC, he would definitely not be able to defeat him.
But when it comes to the battlefield, Yun Xiaohan's role in charging into battle far exceeds that of most heroic NPCs. Which heroic NPC can be as capable of seeking death as he is, charging into battle alone.
"It does make me happy that they are afraid of me, but I'm afraid it will give you a headache if the Marquis of Skoniberu is causing trouble on Sili Island."
"It's a very, very headache. Not to mention that there is no evidence to prove that Marquis Scone Bellu is behind it. Even if he supports it publicly, we have no good solution."
"Why?"
"Sili Island has always been a possession of the Sardinian territory, but the control is insufficient. The nobles of Sili Island are already inextricably linked with the nobles of Sardinian Island, and marriages between families are also common. Therefore, Sconi
·Even if the Marquis of Bellew publicly supports an independent force with which he is related by marriage, that is completely justified. After all, nominally, this is still an internal matter of the Sardinian nobles. As a Duke, I have no position in such a situation.
It’s forbidden to do anything.”
"It is indeed very troublesome. Perhaps it is because of his confidence that Marquis Skoni Bellu chose to test in this way." Yun Xiaohan said.
"Actually, the situation would not have been so passive. You must know that the independent forces in Sili Island have existed for more than a day or two before. Each of them has the support of the Sardinian family, but you and I are both outsiders in their eyes.
, the oppression given to them was too great, forcing them to abandon their previous position."
"Liya, don't worry, the interests on Sili Island are still quite large. These conservative nobles have selfish motives and cannot be completely twisted into a rope. I think they are just temporarily giving up their support for the in-law families on Sili Island and letting Skoni
·The independent forces supported by the Marquis of Beru came to test us.
After a long time, the loss of interests is great, or when the ambition of the independent force expands and it really plans to control Sili Island, this group of conservative nobles will fall apart because of their interests." Yun Xiaohan reassured, his
The analysis is quite reasonable.
"You mean to continue to do nothing and let them fight like before?" Liya said this in a bit hasty tone, and she knew she was not satisfied with it.
"That's not true. Since it is a temptation from the conservative nobles, our failure to respond will only make them look down upon us and intensify their fight with us. Therefore, we must respond fiercely."
Hearing what Yun Xiaohan said, Liya was obviously relieved, "Sure enough, Count Nelson Anderson and Viscount Milo Cavour suggested intervention."
"It seems like you don't want to let it go, Liya!"
"Of course I don't want to. Since they dare to test and challenge the Duke's majesty, then let me chop off their dog paws!" Liya looked quite domineering when she said this.
"I finally understand. I bet you have made up your mind a long time ago. Asking for my opinion is just your excuse." Yun Xiaohan said.
In fact, Yun Xiaohan still had something to say, and Liya's doing so directly overturned his previous decision on Xili Island, so she hesitated to speak, feeling embarrassed to speak directly to Yun Xiaohan.
"It's not an excuse. The main reason is that Count Nelson Anderson and Viscount Milo Cavour both feel that it is safest for you to preside over this matter. Your personal combat power is extremely strong, and the scale of the battle between the independent forces on Sili Island is
They are not big, so they are just right for you." Liya blushed a little when she said this, and she also knew that she was a bit overwhelming.
You must know that Yun Xiaohan had previously given Liya the advice not to intervene and let the forces on Sili Island fight however they wanted, but now Yun Xiaohan was asked to personally take action and overturn his own decision.
Even though Yun Xiaohan had just said that he would respond fiercely, Liya's impression of Yun Xiaohan was too good and her favorability was too high. In her opinion, this was just Yun Xiaohan seeing through her intentions and deliberately following her.
Speak and take the initiative to help her step down.
This is of course a beautiful misunderstanding. Yun Xiaohan doesn't mind overturning his previous decision. He doesn't feel so good about it.
Moreover, his original decision was not very mature in the first place. It was not as sinister as his master's countermeasure of biting you to death.
Maybe you can continue to improve your evaluation in the eyes of the NPC, and even give him the impression of a wise general or a cunning person.
However, the countermeasure of "Death Will Bite You" was based on the situation in Sili Island at that time. Now that the situation has occurred, if he implements his countermeasure, some details need to be changed. However, this is not a big problem. The general direction is there, and the details will be covered.
Xiao Han can make adjustments himself.
Speaking of which, this kind of reconnaissance work for a large island is quite challenging. It is not just about fighting, but there are also many strategic factors mixed into it. How to implement it in the game, what problems will you encounter, and what kind of methods will you use?
Yun Xiaohan is also very interested in advancing the game mode.
Being able to access these things in advance is a valuable asset in itself, not to mention this kind of special experience. Most players may not have such an opportunity in a lifetime of playing games.
