"Your Majesty! Two Dukes! I fulfilled my mission and successfully found Withered Tree Tribe's lair in the Hinterlands, and conquered it one by one."
Al'dor·Barov knelt on one knee, his face full of pride, excitement and excitement.
He couldn't believe how smoothly the expedition went.
Not even much resistance was encountered.
Looking at the utensils made of gold nuggets, gems, and silver behind him, you will know that this trip will definitely make a fortune.
As for the prisoners, even if more than half of them died of exhaustion and starvation along the way, there would still be more than 60,000.
It can be said that after this battle, the entire Withered Tree Tribe will completely disappear from the historical stage of Azerath, and there will no longer be any possibility of turning around.
Because all fools know that with Emperor Thoradin's hatred for Trolls, it is absolutely impossible for a slave laborer to survive.
What awaits them next will be heavy manual labor day and night, until they die of exhaustion, starvation, thirst, or are buried alive by collapsed soil and rocks under the mine.
"Good job! Tell me about the situation over there the Hinterlands." Soladin cast an approving look at the Empire noble.
As the emperor, he is now generous in promoting and rewarding anyone who can pose a huge threat to Trolls.
"There are three relatively large Trolls tribes in the Hinterlands, namely Eviltooth Tribe, Vilebranch Tribe and Witherbark. Among them, Withered Tree Tribe has been basically eliminated, and now only Eviltooth Tribe and Vilebranch Tribe are left. The populations of these two tribes are quite large, and they are spread across every corner of the Hinterlands, and even established They built a huge and majestic altar to worship many gods, including the god of Spider. If they go south, they will definitely cause more terrible damage than Withered Tree Tribe. Therefore, I think they should build a fortress in the northern mountain stream and use it as a base to launch small-scale attacks on the scattered small tribes and plunder wealth and slaves."
After finally being summoned by Emperor Empire, Al'dor·Barov was in an extremely high state of mind and hurriedly learned and sold the strategies previously proposed by Allen.
He doesn't expect to be able to rise to the top with these, he just wants to show his face and get a chance to enter the Empire center of power.
Soladin noticed the eager eyes of the Barov family First Hokage founder, smiled and nodded, "You did a good job. I will consider the suggestion of building a fortress in the mountain stream.. Go down now and distribute the rewards they deserve to the warriors who participated in the expedition. In addition, I want half of the slaves in your hands, and I also want half of the money for those Thorium. You can talk to the royal steward, and he will give you a satisfactory price."
"Thank you very much! Your compliment is the best encouragement to me."
Al'dor·Barov bent down again and bowed deeply, then turned and left full of excitement and expectation.
Watching his back disappear into the corridor outside the door, Soladin then smiled and asked Allen standing next to him, "Teacher, is this the professional talent you selected? Why do I feel that his mind is filled with greed for wealth and power."
"In this matter, what we need is to stimulate the greedy nature in everyone's bones. Only if you are greedy enough, you will be full of desire for the lands occupied by Trolls, and you will be addicted to the constant plunder and development. You don't even need to To give them any material help, you only need to sign a Pioneer Order, announcing to all civilians and nobles that anyone can legally claim it as their own as long as they occupy and develop enough land. And when the land area is large enough, it can even be Empire canonize it as a noble. Expanding in this way can not only save costs to the greatest extent, but also stimulate the martial spirit of the people. Most importantly, it can establish a large early warning system in the periphery of the Empire. We should point the finger at Trolls, who is strong in martial arts and not easy to manage, instead of being the king of the mountains everywhere, or Raider Gundam passing merchants on both sides of the road," Allen explained casually.
In fact, this strategy is simply to deflect conflicts externally.
You must know that in the process of human unification, many small tribes turned into bandits and bandits because they were unwilling to accept the management of the Empire.
At present, they have posed a huge threat to the trade between various noble territories.
So if we can guide them to plunder Trolls, it will definitely be a sure profit.
Whether they succeeded in driving away Trolls and became a noble in the end, or they died in the hands of Trolls, it would be beneficial to the Arathor Empire without any harm.
As for whether these enfeoffed nobles will break away from Stromgarde's control in the future and slowly evolve into several human Kingdoms in the original history of Azerath, that is none of Allen's business.
What he wants is the rise of Human Race, not the blood of Soladin sitting on the throne of Emperor Empire forever.
Soladin obviously didn't know what his "teacher" was thinking. He touched his chin and thought about the pros and cons of promulgating Pioneer Order, and then nodded lightly. "You are right. Pioneer Order is a wonderful move that can maximize the power of the nobility and the people to expand outward. But the question is, will this really not annoy Amani Troll?"
"No! For Amani Troll, High Elf in the north is their old enemy. In order to solve this old enemy, the current leader Zul'jin will do whatever it takes. And I don't want you to promulgate it immediately. It is best to wait until City Wall in the west is completely built. Promulgated. By that time, we will have an advanced base that can be attacked, retreated and defended. Even if Trolls wants to launch a retaliatory action, we must consider how many people are needed to attack. Similarly, if Trolls makes a crazy counterattack, wouldn't it just make these guys who are fighting out know who their strongest backing is?"
When saying these words, Allen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.
"Hahahaha! Teacher, I know you will never let me down. In this case, then follow this plan. In addition, if you are not busy after the autumn harvest is completed, you must Stromgarde attend my wedding." Soladin laughed and sent out the invitation.
Due to the sudden war with Trolls, he postponed his wedding date slightly.
Now that everything has finally calmed down, it is natural to go back to marry the beautiful bride, and at the same time receive enough masonry from his father-in-law to start building the "Wall of Soladin" of the future Daimyo tripod.
"No problem! I will participate on time." Allen agreed without thinking. "In addition, I suggest you also send Invitation Letter to the High Elf Kingdom and ask them to send envoys to attend the wedding to show their closeness."
Anyway, Allen is about to hand over this body to the administrator for safekeeping, so he is not very opposed to these noble marriages and the like.
Even if the manager controlled this body to marry and have children with a noble girl, it would not be a big deal to him.
After all, the body is just a container for consciousness. In this regard, Allen has the same cutting-edge thinking as many mad scientists.
In contrast, the old-fashioned Artoria will definitely give you all sorts of instructions and set a lot of prohibited items before leaving.
"Sending an invitation to the Elf Kingdom? This is indeed a good strategy." Soladin quickly realized the benefits of this move.
Because this is a friendly signal.
Only when the relationship is in a friendly state will the supreme ruler of a country invite another country to attend his most important wedding.
Moreover, this kind of invitation can also give Elf Kingdom executives the illusion that Arathor Empire, established by humans, actually intentionally forms an alliance with itself.
It's just that the power of Amani Troll was too large and they were afraid of retaliation, so they had to decline temporarily.
If we continue to maintain a friendly communication environment and let humans see the barbarism, cruelty and bloodthirsty of Trolls, then sooner or later it will be logical for the two parties to join forces.
The most important thing is that the aesthetics of humans are closer to Elves than the ugly-looking Trolls with green face and fangs.
With a small book filled with various suggestions, plans and schemes, Emperor Thoradin soon led the army on the journey back to Stromgarde.
His time to use his vassals for free this year is about to expire, so he must be dismissed as soon as possible.
Otherwise, just feeding this army will become a huge financial burden.
Under the feudal system, the lord's service to the King or the emperor was not Infinity unconditional.
Typically, the busy planting and harvesting periods must be avoided and are only available for a few months each year.
If it exceeds the time limit, the emperor must bear the logistical supplies of these lords' armies, as well as the corresponding salaries of the soldiers.
Standing on the fortress City Wall that was rebuilt just two days ago, Allen watched the human army escorting the Trolls prisoners slowly disappear over the horizon, and said without looking back, "Let's go, it's time to return to Sky City, and see what kind of world we will arrive next."
"No problem! I've already prepared it."
As he spoke, Artoria closed his eyes, raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, trying to find Sky City floating above his head.
But unfortunately, with the power she now possesses in her mortal body, it is impossible to see through the powerful magical invisibility effect.
Not to mention a mortal, even if Old Gods, Titans and Void Creatures came, it would be impossible to find any trace of the existence of Sky City.
"Very good! Let's go home then..."
As the last word blurted out, the two consciousnesses left the body in an instant and turned into a stream of light that could not be detected by the naked eye. It was guided by Descent System through the barrier and arrived at Central Tower of Sky City.
The bodies left behind by the two people were seamlessly taken over by the two different consciousnesses of Administrator Allen, without attracting anyone's attention at all.
After about ten minutes or so, Allen finally appeared in the hall again after adapting to its main body.
At this moment, the Guardianss had gathered together, kneeling on the ground in an extremely respectful manner.
In the entire hall, only Artoria, Sakura and Hela are qualified to stand.
As for Red Dragon Queen Verena, it transformed into a cartoon form, lying on its master's shoulder, watching with interest the magic projection presented in front of everyone.
This is an ancient city that looks like the Middle Ages, and it is very lively with people coming and going.
In the center of the city stands a spectacular and ornate cathedral.
A pair of lifelike twin goddesses are enshrined in the church.
"Allen, do you recognize which world this is?" Sakura was the first to ask.
Allen shook his head slightly. "Sorry, these contents are too little, I really can't distinguish them. What are the results of the energy detection?"
"Some weird energy was detected, which does not belong to any kind we have known before. But unfortunately, due to the distance, it is impossible to confirm where the energy comes from." A Guardians hurriedly gave his observation results.
"What about the degree of danger?" Artoria couldn't help but interjected.
"Not sure! But it shouldn't be enough to threaten any of us Guardians. I think we should first send out some summoned creatures, or low-level magic creations, to test what is hidden under the calm surface of this world." Guardian Steward Edna·Bevin suggested.
But Allen smiled and waved his hand, "No, it's not necessary. Exploring the unknown is also fun, and I don't want anyone to ruin this feeling. But before that, let's squeeze in first."
As the last word blurted out, he stood up directly from the chair that belonged to him, opened his upper arms and began to shrink the entire size of Azerath Universe, while tearing open the crack and slowly passing through it.
Allen was extremely careful during the whole process.
Because he knows that not every world is as huge as Marvel Universe, which can easily accommodate multiple single universes and even dimensions.
Many universes are actually very fragile, and a little carelessness will cause irreversible and devastating damage in the process of integration.
fortunately!
This time the integration process was successful and no accidental injuries occurred.
After the two universes formed a stable attachment in different dimensions, Allen breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Do any of you want to come with me to see this city?"
"Not interested! I have to continue to build the army of death. This world is quite backward at first glance, and there can be no strong people at all." Hela was the first to show contempt and disdain.
"The construction of my magic domain is at a critical stage, and I don't have much time for the time being." Sakura also showed a scornful expression.
no way!
The energy emitted by New World is so weak that even Guardians don't think it has any value.
Only Artoria is eager to try.
Seeing this scene, Allen sighed helplessly, "Oh - okay. Since none of you are interested, then I will go with Artoria. But this time, the two of us will work separately to see who can dig out the hidden secrets of this world first."
"I accept your challenge!"
After saying this, Saber took the lead in passing through the portal and disappeared into a desolate wilderness.
Allen directly chose uninhabited alleys in the city as its foothold.
