Chapter 319

"Sophia is coming? With a group of barbarians and crazy soldiers?!"

"Yes. I came to meet you immediately after hearing the news. It broke my heart to think that Sophia would come back to you and we would have to have a secret affair in the future."

In the study of silver moon manor, Sylvia leaned against the desk, held her cheeks in her hand, frowned slightly, and her sad face was shrouded in a beautiful face, but her sapphire eyes showed a narrow smile.

The little lover's angry appearance is so interesting.

Victor touched his chin and said, "you're right, or... Let's elope!"

"Good!" Sylvia made a "surprise" and said affectionately, "honey, I want to see the scenery of the southern continent. You accompany me."

"Of course I'd like to accompany you, but the Jinshui River is too wide and there are huge animals in the river. I'm afraid it's difficult for us to cross the river."

"This is really a problem." Sylvia nodded, chuckled and said, "Sophia is very rich. You lied to her to build a large port for us. Won't we be able to cross the river?"

"That's your purpose." Victor said angrily, "I wonder where you're going to place the barbarians?"

Sylvia curled her lips and said, "the Viscount's guests are of course placed by Viscount Randall. Don't forget, neither you husband nor wife is my vassal."

"I was so stupid that I didn't know to hold your thigh!" Said Victor chagrinedly. Sylvia glanced at him with pride and charm. "You don't hold less."

Victor's face turned red, he coughed and said, "honey, the guests are good or bad. If these barbarians are evil guests, are you sure to suppress them?"

Sylvia admitted: "The talent of barbarians is stronger than that of us. According to Clement's letter, elder Harald can easily suppress Duke Peter. He should be a legendary crazy warrior. I'm not sure to win him, and there are three golden crazy warriors and hundreds of barbarian warriors among them. This strength is enough to crush the Rose knights."

"However, Clement will arrange 1000 elite paladins to monitor the movements of the barbarians. The legendary warrior turnans and the fifth level combat priest Olaf will also stay in the man horse hills. With the help of the church, we don't have to worry about armed conflict. After all, these barbarians are isolated and lack backup."

Looking at Sylvia's indifferent look, Victor sighed, "honey, your heart is so big. Once these barbarians turn crazy, they are more difficult to deal with than the ant colony."

The number of ant people is huge and fearless. If the Golden Knight falls into the ant tide, it will probably be hard to escape. However, the ant people lack wisdom and are rigid enough to be almost mechanical. Once the leader of the ant people is killed, the ant colony will kill each other. It is not difficult for the human army to take advantage of the weakness of the ant people and implement targeted warfare to eliminate the ant colony.

The overall strength of these barbarians is certainly not as good as that of ant people, but they have strong personal strength, abnormal physical strength, can recruit and be good at war, and have strong mobile and sudden attack ability. If barbarians adopt guerrilla tactics, they will poison thousands of miles. The damage to human and horse hills and the panic caused by ant disasters are by no means comparable.

Mobile warfare was originally a tactic that knights were good at. Sylvia certainly understood Victor's meaning. She gently shook her head and asked, "who can refuse when barbarians want to cross the river? Who dares to refuse?"

Victor was stifled and immediately had nothing to say. Sylvia sighed: "I am also very worried about the barbarians' temporary residence in the man horse hills, but from the standpoint of the whole mankind, no force can refuse the barbarians' request!"

"The Sassanian Empire, the kingdom of Neville and the kingdom of suss did not refuse barbarians to enter the country, and the kingdom of Borui did not refuse barbarians to cross the river. Gambis and the man horse hills can not refuse barbarians to visit. This is a sign of attitude!" Sylvia said to victor, "my dear, the request of barbarians is different from orders. They respect human territory. We must show a friendly attitude. Even if we can't form an alliance with ARITE mountain, we must not add a strong enemy to mankind. Especially you, you are duty bound!"

I'm duty bound because of Sophia's cheap wife?

Victor was stunned for a long time and said depressed: "I have to bear the trouble caused by Sophia! This woman can send the barbarian across the river and the Pope... Why did he lead the barbarian to the man horse hills?"

"Sophia almost became someone else's wife. Are you really not angry?" Sylvia smiled, moved to Victor's side, rubbed his forehead and said: "Having an attitude doesn't mean that we don't need to test the barbarians' true intentions. Clement thinks that the barbarians' southward movement is related to the westward movement of forest people, which is what I want to find out. The contradiction between the kingdom of Borui and Sophia is just an excuse. The barbarians can leave Sophia and cooperate with the Borui, but they don't do so. Since the barbarians are not in a hurry, let's go It is entirely possible to probe slowly and find out the truth of the matter. "

"Moreover, this is a rare opportunity!"

Sylvia's mouth was smiling, her eyes were shining, and her bright face was shining. Victor took her soft, slender hand and asked, "because Sophia paid for the port?"

"This is only one aspect." Sylvia raised her eyebrows, pecked Victor's lips, bent her fingers, and the golden bell on the table made a pleasant sound. The old housekeeper of Rose Manor walked into the study with an oak box. Without saying a word, he put the box on the desk and bowed away.

Victor opened the wooden box. There was a light red turn inside. He picked up the brick and looked at it. He was surprised and said, "this is... Iron brick? Its quality doesn't seem to pass."

"Yes." Sylvia nodded and said, "my craftsman improved the iron brick making method of the hill camp, replacing the most critical golden grass with ivy, mountain moss, red mud and Fishman mucus, and adding iron powder and slag to produce new iron bricks. This kind of iron bricks has the same strength as rock bricks, and the production cost is higher than ordinary iron bricks."

Alchemy auxiliary soldiers master three kinds of brick making techniques. The first type is silver brick, the second type is iron brick, and rock brick can only be regarded as the third type. On the basis of manufacturing rock brick, two processes are added, and a certain proportion of iron powder and slag can be added to produce class II iron brick. The weight of iron brick is heavier than limestone, and the firmness is equivalent to obsidian. However, the practicability of iron brick is far less than that of rock brick with high quality and low price. Firstly, its manufacturing process is complex. Grinding iron materials and crushing slag are time-consuming and laborious. Needless to say, transporting iron ore is also an expensive expense. In fact, making iron bricks is not as cost-effective as purchasing stone. Secondly, the weight of iron brick is heavy, transportation is difficult, the soft hills can not bear the weight of iron brick castle, and the building height of iron brick wall is also limited.

Therefore, Victor never considered producing iron bricks. When Sylvia visited the hill camp, he generously handed over the iron brick method to the York family. However, the craftsmen of York family improved the production process of iron brick, increased its production cost and reduced its strength. The only bright spot is to replace golden silk grass.

Viktor thought about it and immediately knew the true meaning of the new iron brick. He couldn't help but exclaim: "fish eyes mixed with pearls? Use the new iron brick as the outer wall, cover up the rock brick inside, and then use the production technology of the new iron brick to appease the major forces... A very wonderful means."

Sylvia shook her head and said, "honey, the major forces are not idiots. The new iron bricks can't wait too long. The rock bricks and giant brick kilns will always be handed over."

"Our original strategy was to reserve rock bricks secretly, and then concentrate on building family castles and fortresses when the canal runs through the whole territory of the people and horses hills. While stabilizing Gambis, we negotiated with other forces... But I'm not sure at all!"

Sylvia smiled bitterly: "the value of rock brick is too great! Once the news is leaked, the church, the Sassanian Empire, Dodo, Neville... All forces will work together against us. Not to mention a York family, even the Gambis kingdom can't resist the pressure from all directions." Then she raised her head again and said brightly, "now there is a great opportunity for us to lay out calmly!"

"Sophia took advantage of the power of barbarians to protect herself. We took advantage of it to build a city!" Sylvia got up, went to the map on the back wall of the study, pointed to the position of the control gate and said: "A lot of stones are needed to build the port. I asked Sophia to build the port with iron bricks and asked her to buy iron ore for the man horse hills and then leak out the iron brick process. No one cares about the expensive iron bricks. The port is built for barbarians. Even if someone detects the existence of rock bricks, they dare not put pressure on us before the barbarians leave the man horse hills ！”

The process of rock brick cannot be guaranteed. To hand over the rock brick, we must hand over the design scheme of the giant brick kiln. Although Renma hill can obtain huge wealth from it, the competition for human resources will follow. Increasing the salary of employees is only a small problem. As a pioneer, Renma Hill is far from attractive to displaced people. If there is a lack of labor, it is bound to slow down the water conservancy project And infrastructure construction progress, thus affecting the development of new agriculture and animal husbandry.

Although the York family is very careful when producing rock bricks, the more rock brick production reserves, the greater the risk of exposure. If the secret of rock bricks is leaked, Victor's human horse hill development strategy will suffer a setback, the original investment of 4 million will be doubled, and the 20-year development plan may become 40 years. In addition, the output will be reduced due to the lag of new agriculture and animal husbandry Big.

Sylvia took advantage of the trend, cleverly designed, used Sophia's funds to build the port and purchased iron materials. The barbarian guests made the major forces cast a rat's eye, and then used iron bricks to cover up rock bricks. People and horses built large-scale buildings in hills, built cities and built castles, and quickly realized the predetermined strategy. It can be said that she achieved more with one stroke.

Victor admits that this is a very clever strategy. However, why should the barbarians be placed in Randall's leadership? The high-ranking clergy of the church led more than 1000 paladins to garrison Randall's leadership. What about my alchemy tower? What about the smuggler group? What about the secret silver mine?

Thinking of this, Victor tentatively asked, "honey, can you place the barbarians in other territories? There are more than 40000 employees here. The barbarians will cause their panic, which is not conducive to the construction of the giant fortress."

"Barbarians are the sons of mountains. They are used to living in mountains. The Rayleigh mountains on the west side of Randall's lead can accommodate them."

Sleeping trough! This is NIMA's... Mountain fortress will be lost!

Victor said flatly, "no!"

Sylvia looked at Victor steadily, her eyes seemed to penetrate all his thoughts. Just when Victor's scalp was numb, she smiled and asked, "do you hate seeing Sophia so much?"

Victor didn't say a word and made a default.

Well, sleepy brought the pillow, very good!

Sylvia thought for a moment and said, "Sophia, she..."

"Honey, what do you want to say?"

"She's beautiful..."

"Sophia is really beautiful, but don't all female knights?"

Sylvia's dilemma was moving and fresh. Victor felt strange and funny at the same time. Sylvia stared at him in shame, pondered for a moment, and asked, "honey, do you know Sophia?"

"I don't know very well... She seems to be a little aristocrat in the kingdom of Susi." Victor searched the memory in his mind and said curiously, "you seem to be born of SUS aristocracy. What's the relationship between you and Sophia?"

"Relatives." Sylvia smiled and said, "all the SUS nobles can be related... When I stepped into the peak field, I became Queen Cynthia's cousin. I valued Sophia. She was my cousin. Before I met her, she was just a trainee Knight struggling at the bottom... Do you want to hear?"

Sylvia sat back next to victor, her slender legs gracefully joined together, picked up the coffee cup on the sofa table and took a sip. Victor nodded before she continued: "When I first saw Sophia, I was leading several attendants and knights for field hunting training. At that time, Sophia and her caravan were chased by a group of jackals. Sophia could break through the siege alone, but she never gave up her companions, so she was seriously injured. I saved them, and Sophia took out the secret silver as a reward... It turned out that she bought the secret silver privately for She escaped from the pursuit of the kingdom of SUS and chose to pass through the remote wilderness. As a result, she met a large group of jackals. After I saved her, she rewarded me with the secret silver she had brought out. "

"Sophia was not as beautiful, intelligent and powerful as she is now, but her character has never changed. She is like a Sartre hound. She will never let go when she bites her prey." With that, Sylvia took a deep look at Victor. "The resources of the small family are limited, and the parents have many children. They choose excellent heirs, but they can't take into account all their children. The competition between brothers and sisters in the small family is fierce and the family affection is indifferent. You should know it deeply."

Victor said, "my family has no influence on me."

Sylvia said: "At least you have received Catherine's court education, but Sophia is not so lucky. She is eager to prove herself, tries to seize every opportunity and cherish what belongs to her, including her companions. At the same time, she hates the family. I see great potential and noble qualities in her. I hope to attract her, but it's not easy, and she pretends too well."

"In the eyes of outsiders, Sophia is a standard noble female knight. In fact, she is rebellious, soft outside and hard inside. Catherine wanted Sophia to give up the chamber of Commerce, which actually deeply angered her."

"So Sophia betrayed little Baron Wimbledon?" Victor said with a smile.

Sylvia said with a smile, "you have lived in the court for three years. Everyone thinks you are the queen. I am ready to teach you well. I didn't expect you to betray Catherine. Obviously, Sophia has hurt you a lot. I'm curious when you fell in love with her?"

It did great harm to the little Baron... It has nothing to do with me!

Victor silently Tucao in his heart, but in order to make complaints about barbarians entering Randall collar, he still has to play the role of the victim. "When I first met Sophia, she and I had a meal on a table."

Sylvia was stunned for a moment and smiled in Victor's arms. "Catherine must have never thought that three years of education could not compare with Sophia's meal... You two are really alike."

"What on earth are you making up your mind when you tell me so much?" Asked Victor, frowning.

Sylvia sat up straight, lifted her messy hair behind her ears and said with a smile: "Sophia regretted that if she had known your feelings for her, she would never have given you to me. It has nothing to do with love, but entirely because of her character. Sophia cherishes every sincere friendship and will not easily betray the trust of her peers. That's why the saber toothed tiger business group will gather around Sophia. Of course, she may fall in love with you."

Victor touched his chin and said suspiciously, "you said so many good things about Sophia... I don't feel very good?"

Sylvia ignored him and continued, "Sophia chose the hardest way. She wants to create her own business family. Now she has no way to go."

"The small family takes refuge in the big family. The big family forms a force, and all forces converge into a kingdom. Every knight has a belonging. The stronger his ability, the higher his position in his camp. The six families of Gambis represent the six forces, and all the Golden Knights come from these six families. Marquis goron, I, all came from a small family, and finally joined Austria Gusteau and York? "

"If the Golden Knight wants to create her own family, how should the resources of the kingdom be distributed? How can the political structure be balanced? Sophia wants to create her own family, how can this work? I've been waiting for her to wake up, but I didn't expect this day to come so suddenly."

"Sophia's path has been cut off since the moment she accepted the entrustment of the barbarians. A follower of the golden rank crazy warrior is the recognition of Sophia by the Mountain Tribe, but from the perspective of the Lord, Sophia and her followers are actually a bridge between the Mountain Tribe and mankind. If major forces want to win over Sophia, they can't let her form an independent business family, Wimbledon business It is inevitable to be suppressed until Sophia chooses the camp. "

Victor's heart moved and asked, "you mean the Wimbledon chamber of commerce is over?"

"It's just a change of master. It may take a process." Sylvia shook her head and said, "Sophia's status is much more important than the business aristocracy."

"Hey, if Sophia foresees the current situation, I don't know if she will accept the entrustment of the barbarian?"

"Sure! No one will miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The difference is that others will choose to be the Lord of the sassanne Empire rather than a business aristocrat." Replied Sylvia.

"Indeed." Victor thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Sylvia leaned into his arms and breathed out, "honey, as long as you accept Sophia again, I won't be so embarrassed."

“……”

The woman was going to swallow Sophia with money and barbarian followers! I knew she must have an idea

Victor asked angrily, "are you going to give me back to Sophia?"

"Are you angry?" Sylvia raised her eyebrows and said murderously, "then I'll kill Sophia!" The temperature in the study dropped in an instant.

Victor was startled and hurriedly said, "don't be so cruel!"

Sylvia chuckled, her murderous face thawed like a glacier, and said softly, "in my heart, you are more important than Sophia and the barbarians. In fact, I want to give Sophia to you, just like Nicole and Elena sisters, and me... But I shoulder too many responsibilities and need your support very much. Honey, you will help me, right?"

"What if I refuse?" Victor was rather dissatisfied. Sylvia tilted her head, looked at him for a long time, and said with a firm smile: "you won't refuse, because you have a strong desire to monopolize women. Anyway, Sophia is your wife, and you can't stand her in the arms of others."

"..." said Victor, tongue tied. "Well... Well, I must admit it? Yes, I must admit it. Honey, you're right!"

"Actually, Sophia and I have no grudge." Victor spread out his hands and said helplessly, "but have you considered yeliucheng? The barbarians settled in Randall's collar, the chebman family, the Wellington family and the Buryat family must be on high alert. Who is still thinking of doing business? Do migrant employees dare to move into Renma hills?"

"Indeed..." Sylvia nodded and shook her head, "but your attitude is very important to Sophia, very important!"

"What you think of Sophia is too simple. She is a high-level knight with firm will, not an aristocratic lady without independent opinions." Said Victor disapprovingly.

Sylvia took Victor's hand and said seriously, "honey, you think you're too simple. Now, your attitude represents my attitude and the attitude of the York family."

While Victor was influenced by the York family, the York family was also influenced by Victor. Sylvia went all the way from golden water city to Randall, just to get his support. Behind the tenderness is respect and trust. Sylvia alone can break Victor's heart.

Victor smiled at Sylvia and said, "well, Sophia is my wife and a beautiful woman. It's not difficult for me to treat her well. As for the barbarians and paladins, we can place them in the mountains on the west side of Raven town. However, the dodos are going to be angry."

Sylvia's eyes brightened and smiled, "dodo? Who cares."
