"Ha?" Here's gasayn a little stunned, "who are we going to fight?"
"I don't know." Linton showed up.
"I don't know?" Gasern looked confused. "It's not what you said to fight. You don't know who to fight?"
"I just like war. It doesn't matter who I fight, does it?" Linton looked out into the distance and said faintly.
"It's important, OK? How can there be such a thing that no one even knows how to fight, and when he comes up, he says he will fight. " Gason roared.
"I didn't know if I had it before, but now I have it. In short, I just want to find someone to fight. You can quickly put forward a plan for me." Said Linton.
"Is that ok?" "What are you trying to do? Is this the case that your new undead magic needs a lot of corpses or ghosts
"Yes, yes, that's the case." Linton didn't know how to explain it at the beginning. As a result, gathain read and understood it by himself, which was convenient.
"The evil necromancer." Gasayn fumble.
"Are you going to help or not?" Said Linton.
"It's not a question of helping or not at all, OK?" "I didn't want to fight anyone at all. Now you don't know the situation of the territory. We have just established our foothold. The current situation of the territory is still very bad. We can't support a war at all."
"What's the difference?" Asked Linton.
"Everything is bad, no money, no food." "I don't know where the property of the former territory was hidden by the Duke of Raine, and so far it has not been found. And it's not the time to collect taxes. We can't breathe until next year's autumn harvest at least. This year will be a very hard year, OK? We don't have the strength to launch a war at all. It's good if others don't come to fight us. "
"Is anyone going to hit us?" Asked Linton.
"Not yet." He said.
"That means we still have enemies, right? Some people may hit us, right?" Said Linton.
"No enemy." "Because it's nothing to do with us, they're really in deep conflict with the former Duke of Raine," he said
"Tell me what happened." Asked Linton at once.
Gasern explained a little bit. Their territory is located in the west of St. Willan Empire, the East is the imperial territory, which is naturally a relatively safe area, and the south is the jungle area, which is the place where the barbarians lived before. The development is very difficult and the value is very low. The west is a desert area, and across the desert is a nomadic alien tribe, belonging to a relatively dangerous place, of course, there is no development value. The only more prosperous border is the north.
In the north, there is a territory called the kingdom of Kovic. The strength of this kingdom is not worth mentioning when compared with the St. Willan empire. However, they have formed an alliance with the other three small kingdoms. The scale of this small alliance of four countries is still quite large. At least, it is difficult for the saint Willan Empire to eat them, so at present, the Empire takes them There's no way.
Linton's territory is close to the kingdom of Kovic. For a long time, the relationship between the two sides is not very good, and wars often break out. However, the wars are still in a relatively restrained stage. They do not rise to the confrontation between the whole empire and the alliance of four countries of the other side. It is only a war between their Duke and the other's single kingdom.
As for why no large-scale war broke out, the reason is very simple. Neither side wants to fight. Although the League of four sounds like there are four countries, they are not as powerful as the St. Willan empire. They dare not fight at all. The St. Willan empire can indeed fight, but the enemy they have to face is not only the alliance of four countries, but also other powerful enemies around them.
Of course, gasern's side also learned about this situation after taking over the territory, but it seems that the kingdom of Kovic will not pose a threat to them for the time being. The reason is very simple. The kingdom of kowitkra has no money to fight now.
Yes, another reason why Duke Raine rebelled was that his rear was stable. The barbarians in the South were bought by him and stabilized for the time being. There was no movement in the west, while in the north, the kingdom of kovikla was in trouble. Just this summer, the kingdom of kovikla experienced the biggest drought in the history of the kingdom. Most of the cultivated land in the country was affected, and some of the land was even lost. At the autumn harvest, the kingdom of kowikla had almost no income, and a wave of refugees began to break out in their country.
In order to deal with this natural disaster, the Kingdom has consumed a lot of national strength. It is really a question whether it can shoulder the past. How can we launch a war now? That's why Ryan can handle his own business. After gasayn took office, of course, he also knew the situation and was relieved.
"Well, that sounds good. That's them." Linton said after hearing the situation.
"What?" Gasern was stunned. "Didn't you hear me? We don't have money. We can't fight. ""We only have 3000 soldiers, can't even afford their wages?" Asked Linton.
"I can't afford it. It's difficult to maintain the current force." At least, he said that it would be very difficult for Thain to find the territory after next year. In fact, with the addition of taxes, it would be very difficult for Thain to find his own property.
"Well, we declare war, but we don't fight." Linton thought and said.
"What?" Gason was stunned.
"We declare war, and we hoard our troops on the border, but we did not take the initiative to attack their territory." Said Linton.
"What's the point of that?" Gason looked confused.
It really doesn't make sense. Linton just wants to try the battlefield construction task. Of course, it can't be said. After thinking about it, Linton said, "haven't you heard the family motto of our meloway family? On the side of the bed, how can anyone sleep? This kingdom of Kovic is on our border. It is our only enemy right now. If we want to continue to develop, we must eradicate them sooner or later. "
"Well..." Gasern nodded a little, unable to say what was wrong. He is not a guardian of the city. He is only in his 20s. Of course, he wants to expand his territory and continue to expand his territory. But at present, the South and west of the territory are very desolate, and the only area that can be expanded is the north, so Linton seems to have no problem, "but..."
"Now the kingdom of kowitkra is in trouble, right? We'll wait for it when he's sick and kills him. So as long as we put our troops on the border, even if we don't attack, we can make the other party in a hurry and waste our national strength. Why not Linton continued.
"Is it? But if there is a fight... " Gasayn is a little worried. It is true that their current standing strength is 3000. You can say that it is no problem to change the local garrison, but once the battle is really started, the money will start to be consumed crazily. There are too many things needed for war. Replenishment of soldiers needs money, food supply needs money, weapons and equipment needs money.
"If it's really a fight, I'll find a way to raise money for you." Linton waved his hand and said, "anyway, how to find us can't make them survive this wave of disaster safely, can't they? Otherwise, the threat to us will not be greater when the other party has calmed down. Now, taking advantage of the weakness of the other party, we can find as many troubles as we can. Long term vision, understand? "
"It's like There is some truth. " Gasayne touched his chin as if convinced by Linton. "I'll discuss it with the people below."
A cabinet meeting was held with gasayn to discuss whether to bring trouble to the kingdom of Kovic. As a result, the cabinet immediately quarreled with each other, and the generals supported them crazily. Yes, they don't care about the money. Now everyone wants to fight, and they want to make contributions and get promoted. And the civil servants are all against it. The reason is that there is no money. Where do you want us to change money to fight for you.
"The Duchess, you know the state of the territory. The Treasury really has no money." A civilian counsellor died to gason. Other civil servants also stood up to dissuade him, and gasayn was in a bit of a quandary because he did not have money.
At this time, Linton suddenly found a situation. Because he wanted to discuss the war with the kingdom of Kovic, the map of the border was hung in the conference room. Linton pointed to the place marked on the map and asked, "is this a mine? What mine? "
"It's a gold mine." A civil servant nearby replied.
"Lying trough? Is there a gold mine next to us Linton Leng next, "then we still wait for what, hurry to rob ah."
"Lord swordsman, this gold mine is the lifeblood of the kingdom of Kovic. If we rob it, they will fight against us." Another official got up and said.
"I don't care what I can't fight hard. The gold mine is right in front of me. There's a reason why you don't rob. Are you all in a bad head." Linton said, "in short, the goal of this time is to seize the gold mine, and the financial problems in our territory will not be solved."
Of course, Linton didn't really say that to solve the financial problems of the territory. Since the gold mine is the lifeblood of the kingdom of kovikla, the other side is bound to take it back after it is robbed. Naturally, they will also send heavy troops to garrison. Naturally, a long-term battle field has been formed around the gold mine. Linton was still worried about how to make a battlefield before, because this battlefield construction needs a long-term confrontation site. Now, it seems that this gold mine is the best choice.
