"What you said has a certain truth. Maybe I think the ant man is too simple." Sylvia looked at the map for a long time, then turned her eyes to victor, sighed and said with a smile: "Victor, why do you think ant people will attack man and horse hills even in a big circle?"


    Victor''s heart suddenly and quietly said, "this is just a guess. In the face of 100000 ferocious ant people, I don''t think it''s too cautious."


    Victor didn''t expect that he would be noticed by Sylvia if he accidentally showed a little horse, but he couldn''t tell Sylvia that he had cut the ant man''s beard, and she was an accomplice. After the ant man reacted, he would not let them go.


    Sylvia did not continue to pester the problem, nodded, drew a picture on the map with her slender white fingers, and said: "This mountain range is the junction of the Everglades and the man horse hills. The low-lying Everglades is a big basin. The drop in the west of the mountain range is about kilometers, and the cliffs are steep and steep. As long as I seal the three swamp entrances, no amount of ant people can enter the man horse hills."


    Victor jaw head agreed that the entrance of the Everglades is a slope low in the West and high in the East. As long as a 60 meter high fortress is built there and a 20 meter wide trench is dug, even if the number of ant people is three times more, they can''t break through the fortress. This is the advantage of the terrain.


    Sylvia glanced at Victor and continued: "The mountains go all the way north to the territory of the kingdom of dodo. Here, it is divided into two roads. One road continues to stretch 1600 kilometers north. The endless forest is in the west of the mountains, and the other road is 400 kilometers east. It is called the boulder mountains because it is rich in stones. That area is nominally the territory of Duke Eriksson. In fact, it is a real pioneer, and there are monsters everywhere. Ant people from The Erickson family territory needs to travel at least 5000 kilometers around the man horse hills, and there are many monster gathering places on the way. Now, do you understand? "


    Victor knew what Sylvia meant, but did not agree with her. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Sylvia, do you think my heart is superfluous?"


    Sylvia smiled, shook her head and opened her lips. "No! You''re right to remind. In fact, before the outbreak of the ant disaster, I planned to build a fortification in the north of the man horse hills."


    Victor''s heart moved and said, "are you targeting the Lord of Dodo?"


    "It may be the Lord of Dodo Kingdom, or it may be a monster or Orc on the edge of endless forest. Well, now we have to add ant man. Anyway, after the forest people and horses migrate, all forces are ready to move to the people and horses." Sylvia pointed two places on the map and continued, "we originally planned to build two large fortresses here and here. If there were no rock bricks, the project would take ten years."


    Sylvia rubbed her forehead and said, "Victor, you really give me a problem. If the ant people really attack the human horse hills from the north, the two fortresses must be built as soon as possible. To tell the truth, it will be very difficult for us to build five large fortresses continuously, and there are not so many soldiers in our family to garrison five fortresses at the same time."


    "So, I want to know, what is the basis for you to judge that ant people will take the initiative to attack man horse hills?" Sylvia asked earnestly.


    Victor thought for a moment, frowned and said: "It''s a common understanding that ant people enter the human horse hills to find food and reduce the number of similar people. But you don''t think ant people have only one behavior? You told me that ant people may have destroyed an alien Empire, and that alien Empire doesn''t know the weakness of ant people. Therefore, it can be inferred that ant people must have other attacks, otherwise they would have been eliminated by the alien empire long ago In addition, the ant man leader will escape, which shows that they are very important to the ant colony. We killed many ant man leaders. Of course, these are just my guesses. But you won''t rely on luck for the safety of the territory? "


    Sylvia was stunned for a long time and said angrily: "Damn it, I was blinded by the interests of land and rock bricks. I should have thought of it long ago. The forest man and horse may deliberately let go of the ant man leader, and the ant man is also using the man and horse family to reduce the redundant ones. They have formed a tacit understanding, but we took over the forest man and horse, but broke this tacit understanding. You''re right, the ant man will probably not let us go."


    Sylvia''s slim hand caressed her white and full forehead, and her eyes showed a dark color. At this moment, she was no longer a powerful Golden Knight and wise family leader, but full of weakness. Victor couldn''t help feeling pity. He came forward and took Sylvia''s soft waist and comforted: "Honey, it''s not your fault. The ant man will eat up all the crops. We humans are different from the forest man and horse. We have no choice but to kill the ant man leader."


    Sylvia leaned against Victor''s arms and felt strange and warm. She was not without weakness, but she had not experienced the feeling of being taken care of since she embarked on the knight''s road. A moment later, Sylvia looked at Victor firmly until Victor became a little unnatural, and then said viciously, "help me find a way!"


    Victor released his hand, completely unaware of the coquettish smell in Sylvia''s vicious tone, and coughed, "well, the ant man leader is obviously different from the cannon fodder of ordinary ant men. Since he has killed a lot, he should kill as many as possible."


    "Of course! I''m not going to let them go. What I want to ask is, what about the fortress in the north?" Sylvia gave Victor a white look and said discontentedly. She didn''t know whether she was dissatisfied with Victor''s answer or whether she was dissatisfied with him.


    Victor smiled: "there are many people and great strength. Recruiting more people can solve these problems. With enough population, the speed of building fortresses will be improved, and more soldiers can be selected."


    Sylvia was stunned for a long time and said disappointed, "this is your way?"


    "What''s the problem?" Asked Victor, puzzled.


    Sylvia asked, "let''s not talk about food. Where am I going to recruit people?"


    "Isn''t there a lot of free people in the kingdom?" How strange is Victor.


    Sylvia sneered: "free people? Would they be willing to go to the hills to work hard? Would they be willing to join the army and fight against the monsters led by the pioneer? If they had such quality, they would not be free people long ago. Heibao town has taken in 120000 people, most of them are the leaders abandoned by other families, otherwise you think I would raise so many people!?"


    "Free people are so unbearable?" Victor asked in surprise.


    "What do you think? The landless landlords don''t count. Those lazy, greedy and afraid of death, free people who dream all day are completely waste. Other lords are eager to send these people out of their territory. These people can neither build castles nor be soldiers. Even if they recruit more, it''s useless." Sighed Sylvia.


    Victor was speechless. He also admitted that not everyone can become a qualified leader. Those eliminated are partly due to limited land, and some are indeed their own problems. However, the main reason for Sylvia''s opposition is that she is limited by the vassal system. The Lord of the world can do almost nothing without the vassal system. Victor was not prepared to say this. The limitation of the vassal system was his opportunity.


    Sylvia pondered for a moment and said helplessly, "the key problem now is that I don''t know when the ant people will invade again. Since there is no better way, we can only give the territory in the north of the man horse hill to the powerful lords in the Kingdom, so that they can build their own castle, train their troops and become a barrier in our north."


    Victor was stunned and said, "you, you want to give the land in the north to other lords?"


    "Victor, compared with war, compromise and cooperation between lords are the most common. At the beginning, King Ryan only used political means to force the vassals of our family to join other forces in order to disintegrate our York family. If Ryan had not had bad luck and met the guy Neo West, he would almost succeed. Facing the three Golden Knights, I There is no other way but to compromise. The situation is the same now. Of course, we can''t agree that the Augusts want our York family to establish a principality in the Renma hills. This time, I give up the land in the north of the Renma hills, which must help the Senate decide to stand on my side, and the Augusts can only choose to compromise. " Sylvia said, sneering again.


    Victor''s heart moved and asked, "how much territory do you give up?"


    "A count is a must." Sylvia said with certainty.


    Victor was surprised by Sylvia''s big hand. The count''s collar was at least 15000 square kilometers, accounting for almost one tenth of the total area of the man and horse hills. Sylvia wants to use an earl to lead a powerful family to garrison the north of the horse hill and become the northern barrier of her core territory. The exchange is hardly a loss or a gain. However, Victor believed that no matter which family, if they knew that ant people might attack the man horse hills from the north, they would not jump into the pit to pick up this cheap.


    Victor didn''t care about the life and death of other families. He looked north along the mountain range on the map and gradually had an idea. He said, "Sylvia, can you give me a small territory near the mountain on the northern border? It doesn''t need to be large. 50 square kilometers is enough!"


    Sylvia looked at the place Victor pointed to and asked suspiciously, "what do you want that land for? Don''t look at the territory next to Duke Eriksson. In fact, there is no village there. It is completely a wilderness full of monsters."


    "Well, you mean that Duke Eriksson, like you, just fenced there?"


    "Bah, I''m not so shameless. At least I built a castle for you." Sylvia said angrily.


    Victor touched his chin and sighed, "well, it''s really a castle. At least the Senate recognizes it."


    "You know, I keep some dust falcons. These birds are very smart and can monitor a large area. I plan to set up a sentry there. If ant people really attack from the north, we can prepare in advance." Victor went on to explain.


    Sylvia''s eyes lit up and said in a charming voice, "I''ll give you 300 square kilometers of land. As long as you help me tame 20 dust falcons, how about it?"


    Victor looked up at the sky and was silent. Sylvia''s old tricks reminded him of the liars who sold the land on the moon.


    Seeing Victor''s disdain, Sylvia''s Willow eyebrows turned upside down, and her snow-white little hand directly extended to Victor''s cheek. In the face of the coming devastation, Victor had to give in.


    "Don''t pinch! Well, I can help you tame the dust falcons. However, I can''t guarantee anything. Those dust falcons depend on me very much. They will run away if they don''t see me for a long time. In addition, there aren''t so many dust falcons at all. I can only tame three for you."


    Sylvia kissed Victor on the lips with a smile and said with a smile, "I know it''s your blood talent to tame the dust falcon. As long as your pets can help my knight search for the retreating ant man leader. It doesn''t matter if the dust Falcon runs away, you''ll continue to help us, won''t you?"


    Victor looked at Sylvia and smiled like flowers. He couldn''t help being in a trance. Unconsciously, he and Sylvia were so close.


    "This time, I''ll discuss it with the rest of the family. Whether or not you cede a territory to other families, the land in the north already belongs to you, at least in legal principle. My viscount." Sylvia regained her former wisdom and clarity.
