In normal times, Victor certainly wouldn't let the other party become so big. But now Quio holds the "Time and Space Rift" killing weapon, can he really refuse?

So the lord looked a little depressed and said with a voice: "Then what do you mean... can the cooperation continue?"

"Elson City is the legacy of the high elves. I don't know what the high elves will end. These guys even joined forces to fight against the dragon clan. I remember a man named Edith, who even injured my brother with the magic tower. Now that guy named Roddy has mastered the power of the high elves. Do you think he will do what you said?"

Although it was a bit alarmist, it was indeed true. Victor was silent and Quio waved his hand in high spirits: "What we need is cannon fodder. The larger the population base and the lower the control level, the more appropriate it is. Elson City is a little bigger, what is the point of cooperation?"

"So Victor, your goal was wrong from the beginning. We should directly control the core - hasn't the royal family of Karen Kingdom always wanted to expand their power? Help them and then let the entire kingdom obey the dragon clan. Isn't this a more appropriate way?"

Victor wanted the Karen royal family to be so weak, how easy was to integrate the kingdom? Do you really think controlling a country is as easy as having a meal?

But Quio didn't care about this. What he wanted was to deprive Victor of the initiative in this matter, so he directly offered to say: "The resources of the two medium-sized 'space-time rifts' belong to you, and you can just leave the rest to me. I see if you are going to teach a group of ants what magic you are going to say. To put it bluntly, it's really thankless."

“Impossible.”

Victor shook his head directly, Quio didn't care, so he directly increased his position: "Three."

Victor still shook his head, Quio said, "Three medium and one small. If it doesn't work, then I might as well discuss with others. There are more than one suitable country on the mainland, and any small country to the east will be able to help them integrate the situation and become a big country within a few years."

Quiuo has already marked the price. Victor actually has no choice - to continue to maintain his relationship with Elson City, he will have to face the hostility of the Red Dragon Clan and the isolation of other dragons, and to win these four "time and space rifts", at least in the future war, there will be a chance of winning...

So it is actually very clear what to do.

*******

When the two Dragon Lords decided the rise and fall of several countries during conversation, Roddy did not know that Elson City's reputation was about to be severely tested.

When he set out from Elson City with weak legs, Akasha and Sally could not see the clues. However, Camilla, who was sent to the city gate, had a complicated face and was distracted when reporting information from various places with Roddy along the way. No matter how thick-skinned Roddy was, she felt a little embarrassed, so she had to endure it and didn't say it until she left, and she whispered: "Come back and take the time to talk."

Today is a formal meeting with Edith, so the few people who were traveling with him attended in formal wear. At the same time, the travel team is no longer a simple convoy, but a neatly equipped guard of honor.

The Hercino Tower was originally located in the jungle. In order to take care of this team, it had already moved to the nearest "road", so the team was moving very fast on the flat road.

Soderol was wearing silver-shining armor in front, with fifty cavalry and two hundred infantry listed neat formations in front and behind the team. It was called a "guard of honor", but it was actually a simple training. Kardashian and others sat in a large and comfortable carriage, while Roddy rode on the horse and discussed future military trends with Soderol:

"How many soldiers are there now?"

"The total number of cavalrymen who can go directly to the battlefield is 630 and 3170 infantrymen. This includes four batches of barbarian mercenaries from the glacier plains."

Soderol answered these numbers very quickly. This number is the total number added to Elson City and the Parr barracks where Soderol is located, and it does not include any other noble private soldiers.

Logically, this number is really small. This is because Roddy has always pursued the "elite military policy". If Elson City had not accumulated a rapid accumulation of wealth and the number of recruitment of "military camps" has increased rapidly in the past six months, I'm afraid even three thousand would not have been able to get together.

However, most people would not think that after hearing the 3,000 soldiers, this was just the number of "official soldiers". In the barracks of Palter and Elson, the concept of "reserve" has long been popularized - all young and age-appropriate civilians in Palter have undergone at least five days of militarized training every month since last year. Therefore, no one knows... Roddy's farmer who can truly become soldiers at any time has already exceeded 5,000.

In this era, except for mercenaries, there was no common concept of "professional army". I have never heard of "reserve" - ​​in the eyes of the lords, only "knights" are considered professional soldiers, and the rest are basically made up for the numbers.

However, the "reserve" that Soderol regularly trains is completely different - because their training intensity is extremely high, and they will receive a sufficiently generous "military salary" every time they train.

Running and practicing your body can make money. Every time you train, there are delicious meat and enough bread. For the extremely miserable farmers in this era, it is simply a matter of pie falling from the sky, and many people are unlucky. Measures such as "last-ranked elimination" and "winning rewards" also ensure the enthusiasm of this group of people for training. To put it bluntly, it is precisely because Roddy allocated enough "military expenses" and a complete assessment system that the problem of "soldier source" has long been solved by Soderol.

"How are the number of armor and weapons?"

"To be honest... I have built so much equipment every month, and I have been able to arm the team of 20,000 people until now."

"That's right." Roddy nodded, looked up at the sky with snowflakes above her head, and continued: "In May, I hope there will be ten thousand qualified infantry and one thousand cavalry."

Soderol said this and suddenly turned around: "Are you ready to fight?"

He did not ask who the enemy was, because the question was obvious - from the day he ate the "Rose Cross", Soderol was looking forward to the arrival of this day.

"I originally planned to wait, but now it seems that there will be more variables after waiting. I will give you the battle schedule in the next few days, from preparing for the battle to going to the front line, the mission will be handed over to you."

Roddy looked at the "Sword Saint" in the original game, but felt a lot of emotion: the orcs were broken up, the undead were restrained by the rebels he created, and when there were no other enemies around, this sharp sword finally aimed at the enemies that hindered the unification of Everta...

Or, Roddy now has only one enemy in front of him: Charles II.

The latter had no extra thoughts about this, but instead was filled with excitement. He saluted on the horse's back, and the excitement could not be concealed - Roddy understood that this guy was truly like a fish in the battlefield. He seemed not very interested in anything except fighting and practicing swords... Oh no, except that Tifflin.

"By the way, how are you and Nora?"

After reading the reports over the past month in the afternoon, he noticed that Soderol was actually close to that Teflin. This surprised Roddy at first, because although "Teflin" was once a human, it should be considered another species after it became demonized. For the two of them together, Roddy originally wanted to persuade Soderol to "consider carefully", but when he thought that he was with the Dragon Clan, he was not qualified to talk to others... so he changed his tone to chat.

"Ah? She, that's it..."

Soderol suddenly became speechless. Obviously, this swordsman is a good player in war, but he is not much better than Roddy before. For this reason, Roddy finally found some "superiority" - I have a harem at least, young man, you should work hard!

Of course, when it comes to words, it becomes a matter of precautions for girls when dating. In fact, he is also a half-baked person, and what he is talking about is theories he saw online. After all, he has never taken the initiative to date Sally and the others, and he is still a thousand miles away from the "Love Saint".

Soderol is more delicious, so the two emotional chubby chatted with each other and discussed it enthusiastically...

They were chatting in front, but the three people in the carriage were curiously looking at the drawing with scribbled patterns.

When they were about to leave Elson City in the afternoon, Sally, who was doubtful about the accuracy of Houdini's dream map, discussed it with Akasha and finally brought out the sketch. Because they wanted to know whether the "prophet" dream was reliable, they gave it to Kardashian in the carriage, hoping to make an appraisal.

Kardashian was originally a little unhappy because they ran into Roddy's bedroom last night, but Roddy's efforts this afternoon were not in vain. The refreshing little female dragon had no airs when chatting. However, after seeing the drawing Akasha took out, her eyes suddenly stopped. After a few seconds of silence, the young lady directly condensed an "ice board" with elements, and then with her amazing memory, she accurately drew the picture taken by Vertu's mobile phone on it.

She smiled at the camera, and Roddy bent down by the ice cream. She did not draw the buildings on both sides in detail, but only retained the most basic lines and outlines. This image stunned Akasha and Sally next to her and murmured: "Are he... what he said is true?"

"What did Houdini say?"

At that time, his father Victor praised Houdini's ability to predict, so she was very impressed by this guy. After Sally and Akasha repeated Houdini's words, the surprise in her eyes was no longer concealed: "That seems to be true."

"So...what kind of world is that?"

Sally asked carefully. She was extremely curious about the experiences of Kardashian and Roddy. After all, it was not easy to make a dragon clan agree. Of course, she wanted to know what the two of them had experienced in it.

But there is no answer to such a question after all. Kardashian shook his head and replied with a smile: "When will Roddy be willing to say it, I will tell you in detail."
Chapter completed!
