Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country! - Chapter 408 Principality of Idar, here we are!

The Idars have begun to pack and prepare to leave.

so…

Today's Salazar naturally does not need to lead the way for the soldiers of the Duchy of Idar, nor does it need to go to the forests near the city-states to have a series of friendly exchanges with the mutants.

Saying hello to the already familiar Idar soldiers, Salazar walked out of the house happily, opened his arms, and let the pale golden sunlight sway on him.

The sun in the sky was the same sun, and the temperature outside was quite cold, but after getting the promise from Captain Hausen, Salazar suddenly felt that she was completely different.

That is the Principality of Idar!

A powerful and mysterious country on the other side of the ocean!

Although Salazar's understanding of the Principality of Idar only comes from the words of the soldiers of Idar, even this is enough to make him curious about the Principality of Idar, and even longing for it!

Because according to the description of the soldiers of Idar, the Principality of Idar is simply a paradise on earth!

The Alexandria lighthouse towering in the Merlin District, the Namur Fortress towering on the Solon River, the sky garden built on the hill...

These magnificent buildings are all symbols and proofs of the powerful strength of the Principality of Idar!

Through dialogue with Salazar, the Idars learned about the many differences in this continent.

And Salazar was also in communication with the Idar people and heard about the magical land at the other end of the ocean.

According to the Idars, although the Principality of Idar is nominally a vassal of the Norman Empire, it is actually a completely independent principality and the only powerful country on that continent that has the capability of ocean navigation.

The Idars have three-masted warships that can cross the sea, have magical artillery that can destroy the world, and have a powerful and well-trained army.

Besides,

There are also delicious white bread, the work point system created by the Stuart family, and a fair and clean administration...

And more importantly...

The Idars do not have to worry about the existence of mutant species, and do not need to worry about their own survival all the time, because there...there is no existence of mutant species at all!

As an aboriginal living in the Forgotten Lands, Salazar's hatred of mutants is almost inscribed in his bones.

His parents, his friends...

Those close to him almost all died in the hands of mutant species.

Not only Salazar, but almost all the aboriginals have had their relatives and friends killed under the fangs and claws of mutant species in their life trajectory.

Perhaps it is for this reason that after seeing the powerful power that the Idars can easily kill the mutants, the hearts of the local aboriginals will naturally have a kind of affection for the Idars.

so…

Thinking that he might be able to become a member of the envoy and follow the Idar ship to see the world on the other side of the ocean, Salazar felt a burst of joy in his heart.

This sentence is a rare opportunity!

Thinking of this, Salazar not only quickened his pace, and walked towards the center of Padilla city-state.

He wants to report this exciting news to the elders of the elders as soon as possible.

…

Standing alone on the terrace on the second floor of the house, Captain Howson looked at Salazar from a distance and disappeared at the end of the street.

Inviting the messengers of the Padilla city-state to visit the Duchy of Idar, this is the final decision made by Captain Hausen after several trade-offs.

This is not only to show the people of Padilla city-state that the Principality of Idar is willing to live in peace, but also the choice made by Captain Hausen regarding the upcoming expansion plan.

As the commander-in-chief of the Idar ocean-going fleet, Captain Howson shoulders a much heavier task than it seems on the surface.

For example...

Captain Hausen’s experience and knowledge, as well as his suggestions to Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, will greatly affect the development of the entire deserted land in the Principality of Idar.

As early as when Captain Hausen led the Idar navy's three-masted warship set sail, Bruno had a separate meeting with Captain Hausen and confessed many matters about the abandoned land.

The choice of expansion plan is undoubtedly an important issue among them.

Different colonial expansion policies will have completely different effects on the future of the Principality of Idar.

Even in the same country, there are many ways to expand and govern policies in different locations.

For example, in Bruno’s last life, John Bull’s rule over India and other colonies was somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese detention policy, appointing local officials and dignitaries, and preserving the culture, habits and social structure of local residents.

As for the American continent, John Bull mostly migrated merchants, soldiers, craftsmen, missionaries, and other tradesmen to settle in the colonies. However, this method of colonization also has significant shortcomings.

That is, when the colonial power is weak, the suzerain state can still exercise long-arm jurisdiction; but if the colony's strength gradually increases, it will be difficult for the descendants of the first colonists to have a national identity with the suzerain, and independence will become The final choice.

The distance, the needs of the country, the degree of development of the colony...

The above are all issues that need to be taken into consideration.

Moreover, before Captain Hausen arrived on this land, Bruno had mentioned relevant issues to him.

Perhaps it was because Bruno himself lived in a peace-loving country before crossing, and he didn't like blindly killing or looting.

As Bruno's subordinate, Captain Howson was naturally also deeply influenced by his own Duke.

Since in this piece of land at the other end of the ocean, mutant species are the primary enemy in the minds of human beings, then Captain Howson will naturally not start an infighting and swing a butcher knife at his own clan.

Silently assimilate the indigenous people living on this land, let them spontaneously plunge into the arms of the Idar Principality, and under the leadership of the Idars, eliminate the threat hidden in the deep forest. This... is how proud. Captain Mori's most real thoughts today.

"If the rulers of the Padilla city-state are smart people, they will naturally understand that they will have a bright future only if they take refuge in the Duchy of Idar..."

The adjutant on the side pondered for a moment, and said, "But if they don't want to..."

"Then except for the ruler of this city-state, all the indigenous people living in this city-state will have a bright future..."

Looking at the city-state in front of him, Captain Howson said calmly.

…

The residence of the group of elders is located in the most central position of the city-state, next to the largest bazaar in the city-state of Padilla.

only…

Different from the bazaar in the Duchy of Idar, it is not easy to survive smoothly on this continent that has been invaded by mutant species.

Therefore...weeds in the forest, prey captured, and simple weapons that can be used for self-defense are the most important commodities in the trading market.

The teeth of the mutant species acted as currency here and became hard currency in the market.

no way,

Different external environments have created completely different social conditions.

In this piece of land, only those who have the ability to fight against mutant species can be regarded as possessing the capital to survive.

The stronger the fighter, the higher the social status and the more wealth.

As for the mage...

The situation in the Forsaken Land is completely different from that of the continent where the Duchy of Idar is located.

Here, divine power and magic power are intertwined and mixed, and even newborns with magic talents can hardly apply magic power effectively, and the time to chant a spell grows exponentially.

so…

Compared to the mage, the powerful fighters are more respected.

If you want to make money, then the most convenient way is to hunt down mutant species!

The teeth of the mutant species are also the only "currency" that is accepted by all the city-states on this continent.

The bazaar in front of you is bustling,

only,

At this time, Salazar had no intention of wandering in the market. He walked straight through the crowd without stopping, and hurriedly pushed open the door of the elders' residence.

After Salazar talked about today's conversation with Captain Howson in the presence of the three elders, the reaction of the three elders present was almost the same as his reaction at the time.

"Invite five envoys to... Principality of Idar?"

Listening to Salazar's description, the three old men in front of them couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"The Principality of Idar...is it really on the other side of the ocean?"

It was the elder sitting in the middle who was speaking, that is, the most respected elder in the entire elders.

The full name of the Grand Elder is Sheman Goldberg. Although he was not the most powerful warrior among the city-states when he was young, he was the most flexible head among all people.

It was also under his leadership that the indigenous people of Padilla city-state began to try to arrange traps, explore the living habits of mutant species and the size of the ethnic group, so that they can make changes in advance when the beast tide comes every year. For the complete preparation.

That's right! Beast tide!

The term animal tide is a nightmare in the hearts of all the natives living on this land.

On this continent, although the cold winter is difficult to pass, this season is often the most relaxing time for everyone.

Because…

The severe cold in winter will not only make human beings reluctant to step out of their homes, but the mutant species that were originally extremely active will also disappear a lot.

But,

When the cold winter is over and the warm winter comes, when this season of recovery of all things arrives, the mutants will often have a huge impact on the city-state of mankind.

For a small and medium-sized city-state like Padilla City-state, every arrival of the beast wave will undoubtedly be a battle that determines the survival of the people!

When faced with the impact of the beast wave, everyone, regardless of age, sex, will walk up the city wall and fight for their lives to resist the beasts from the depths of the dense forest!

It is precisely because of this that when seeing the powerful weapons and equipment possessed by the Idar soldiers, the elder regiment headed by the great elder Sheman Goldberg showed great kindness towards the Idars.

Can the elders fail to see the ambition of the Principality of Idar in opening up territory?

Of course it can be seen!

If the Principality of Idar has no ambitions for this land, then why should they hire guides to explore everything on this land, why should the mutant species be captured for research, and why should they mark and record the location of various resources?

As the helm of the Padilla city-state, the group of elders headed by Grand Elder Sheman Goldberg saw far more than Sarah saw.

But…

Even though it clearly knows the ambition of the Principality of Idar to open up the land, the group of elders still has good intentions towards the Idars!

Because in their hearts, compared to the Principality of Idar, which is on the other side of the ocean, Mutant Species is the enemy that Padilla faces!

not to mention…

In recent years, the scale of the beasts suffered by the city-state of Padilla has increased year by year, and the threats it faces have become stronger year by year.

Not to mention being wary of the Idars who have just arrived in this land, even if the Padilla city-state can withstand the beast wave that springs next year, it is still unknown!

Mutant species are getting stronger every year, but humans are always standing still!

"If what Captain Howson said is true, then the Principality of Idar, located at the other end of the ocean, should be a much stronger country than the Padilla city-state, and it may even be... Shoulder to shoulder!"

Seeing the fluctuating expression of the Great Elder, Salazar hesitated for a long time before she mustered up the courage and said boldly.

Seven cities of gold!

You know, on this continent, the legendary Golden Seven Cities, which can shut out mutant species, can be regarded as the common consolation in the hearts of all human beings.

so…

When I heard that Salazar would be far away in the Principality of Idar at the other end of the ocean, standing shoulder to shoulder with the legendary Seven Golden Cities...all the people present moved with expressions.

"I will go personally!"

Amidst the horrified eyes of everyone, the elder Sheman Goldberg suddenly said aloud.

"The so-called Principality of Idar is after all tens of thousands of miles apart, if it were to go like this..."

Before the speech was over, the words of another elder were interrupted by Sheman Goldberg:

"If we can't get help from other forces, how many times do you think we can survive the beast tide?!"

As soon as he said this, the whole room fell into silence.

In the process of resisting the last wave of beasts, Padilla city-state suffered the heaviest blow in decades, and the powerful fighters in the city-state suffered nearly 40%!

If next year's spring begins, if the scale of the beasts is still unabated... The Padilla city-state, which has been standing on the west coast of the mainland for many years, will probably also become history.

and…

The thought of the armors given by the soldiers of Idar made the elder's heart hot.

He had seen those armors and such sophisticated forging craftsmanship with his own eyes, which could not be reproduced by the city-state of Padilla!

Right now, since the Idars have invited themselves to the Duchy of Idar, it also proves that the mysterious country at the other end of the ocean has no obvious malice towards the residents living on this land.

So... he has to fight for it!

He wants to win the support of the Idar people!

No matter what the price,

He wants to let the people living in the city-state of Padilla survive the beast wave after the beginning of the spring of the year!
