Chapter 493: "·Embarrassment of the Empire"

Don't believe the saying that as long as you are born with ingenuity and don't have acquired experience. No matter how talented you are, anyone who personally intervenes in the past will admit that the acquired experience helps us achieve many goals that only natural talents cannot achieve.

Compared to Llorente, the capital of Llorente Province, Matalo County is much smaller; the relatively low walls and the uneven quality of the defenders make Baifeng face the situation in the southern region. With a deeper understanding.
After being forcibly incorporated into the Tianlong Empire, a large number of immigrants greatly promoted the civilization process of this land that once belonged to the barbarians. However, if it is to become a part of the civilized world, it cannot be completed overnight.
"Do you think the other three cities in Llorente are the same as Llorente?" Bai Anyun, who looked at the thoughtful Bai Feng and walked side by side with his horse, sighed: "Llorente There are only five such cities in the entire southern border."
"There are five provinces in the southern region. Are the cities in the other provinces other than the capital all the same as Matalo County?" It was originally thought that Baijia's strength was not strong enough to cause the development of Matalo County. Bai Feng frankly asked his doubts.
"After all, the time for the Empire to rule the southern region is too short." Bai Anjun, who answered the question, said with dissatisfaction: "In addition to the empire's no plan to vigorously develop the southern region, how can the cities in the southern region prosper?"
"Since the empire does not intend to vigorously develop the southern region, why did the empire spend countless manpower, material and financial resources to fight against the barbarians and seize the land from the barbarians?" Bai Feng, who has little knowledge of the southern border, just wanted Take the opportunity to understand.
"The war between the empire and the barbarians did not start around the southern region. It was a war that lasted for hundreds of years. As early as the early days of the empire, the southern part of the empire, which was connected to the barren land, was often suffered. The invasion of the barbarian tribe.
The savage and backward barbarians used the plundering of the towns on the border of the empire as a new means of maintaining survival. In the face of the provocation of the barbarian tribes, the empire, which has always been threatened by the military forces of the eastern orcish empire and the northern grassland tribe, had no choice but to endure.
Until the sunset fortress was built two hundred years ago, the sunset fortress, which took more than 100 years and countless gold coins, completely blocked the only way for the orcs to invade the empire; from then on, the empire only needed tens of thousands of troops to block hundreds of thousands of orcs Crazy offense.
Even if the orc empire sometimes increases the number of attacking troops to hundreds of thousands, the empire only needs a maximum of one-third of the troops to firmly hold the sunset fortress; in this way, more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the empire can be transferred come out.
In the next hundred years, the empire with sufficient troops officially launched a counterattack against the grassland tribes in the north; the Mongolian tribes that unified the grassland tribes in the past were even annihilated by the souls of the empire. Thirteen Departments of Grassland.
I evaluated the empire on the eastern border and the northern border successively, and finally freed my hands to start a war against the barbarians in the south; the individual fighting power of the sturdy and fearless barbarian warriors is indeed very powerful, but their gap in weaponry is really too wide!
The well-equipped imperial army not only possesses a variety of powerful war weapons, but also powerful magic weapons; coupled with the assistance of a large number of magicians, all the barbarian tribes entering the empire are all slaughtered! "
"The military strength of the empire is so powerful, why not directly occupy the entire eastern region and completely solve the barbarian problem?" Bai Anjun's rhetoric made Bai Feng feel puzzled. He did not understand why the empire did not take advantage of the pursuit to completely solve the barbarian threat. .
"From the war against the orcish empire, to the war against the prairie tribes, and to the war against the barbarian tribes, hundreds of years of war cost the empire all the national power saved; especially when the war against the barbarians was launched, the empire even had a war pay. Can't send it out.
Those war weapons and magic weapons, as well as all kinds of sophisticated weapons and equipment, are all piled up with gold coins; the huge cost of war has become the heaviest burden of the empire, and then I am afraid that the soldiers of the empire will be killed in a row. It's gone.
In fact, if the empire and the Holy See reached a compromise, in exchange for allowing the Holy See to set up a bishopric in the empire, in exchange for the support of the Holy See, the empire would not be able to pay for the military expenses of occupying the southern border, let alone completely solve the threat of barbarians . "
"It turns out so!" The geographical location of the Tianlong Empire determines its enemies on all sides. A large-scale war after another, coupled with border conflicts that broke out from time to time, the most money-consuming war drained the national power of the Tianlong Empire.
"Aunt, this is not right!" Bai Feng, who was still mourning the Tianlong Empire, responded suddenly and asked Bai Anjun: "After the empire defeated the orc empire, the grassland tribe, and the barbarian tribe one after another, did they not benefit from them? ?"
"Seize the benefits from them?" Bai Anyun sighed with a depressed face: "You think the powerful and orcish, the unruly prairie people, the intrepid barbarians, who will take advantage of the empire Opportunity?"
"Feng'er, don't think that you can gain benefits if you win a war. This is the law of war between civilized nations, but it does not apply to wars against aliens; the war with them, whether we win or lose, are in To suffer losses, only the degree of loss is different.
Whether it is the orc empire in the east, the grassland departments in the north, or the barbarian tribes in the south, almost all of them have a war advantage that we can never compare; our soldiers need time to train, need good weapons and equipment, need With the assistance of various arms, they can exert their fighting power, and they only need a sword to fight the enemy.
If it were not for the recent years, the North Rhineland Merchants Union was transfusion of blood for the empire through trade, and the impoverished empire has long abandoned the southern region; unfortunately, in the end, it has not been able to restore the impoverished situation of the empire. Our southern region has been abandoned..."
Bai Anyun, who lost his tone, let Bai Feng sigh with a sigh, an empire that seemed extremely powerful, and the situation in which it was already corrupted to such a degree; the orc empire in the east and the grassland departments in the north, once again forced this ancient and huge empire In a dilemma.
Perhaps, for the five families in the southern region, under the premise that the empire has actually given up on them, unity is their only choice; only a new southern alliance can ensure that the southern region is not invaded by barbaric forces.
While feeling sorrow for the Tianlong Empire, Bai Feng also saw his own opportunity; a singing and dancing, powerful Tianlong Empire can not accept the existence of the Roman city, and only the Tianlong Empire in internal and external troubles will make drinks to quench thirst. s Choice!
Bai Feng, who entered the Matalo County side by side with Bai Anjun, did not immediately accompany Bai Anjun to the barracks of the female knights, but first took the guards behind him to the main palace; this is a Roman governor who is not as good as the town. Mansion.
After leaving Yue'er, Bing Lan and the German Berserkers in the city's main palace, Bai Feng took his general's guard and led the four female knights to the barracks of the female knights; this barracks was a regular barracks, that is There is no man in it!
