Why is the Durham Empire?

　　 Sherlock really didn't understand.

　　 After spending so much effort, mobilizing so many resources, and designing so many "coincidences", is it finally to control the Durham Empire behind the scenes?

　　 But, why is the Durham Empire?

　　 In Sherlock's view, the Deren Empire has inherent flaws.厽厼

　　Simply speaking of his geographic location, to the east is the barbaric and brutal Lucia Empire. It is a neurotic country that can provoke a border conflict for one thousand gold marks, killing and wounding tens of thousands of people without caring.

　　 To the southeast of the Derren Empire, a large tributary of the Lanin River scoured the plain, and it was a vassal state of dozens of Lucia Empire. The internal chaos of these countries is extremely sharp, the contradictions between them are extremely sharp, and they all inherit the usual barbarism and neuroticism of the Lucia Empire, and they go to war basically every month.

　　 Those dozens of large and small countries have the traditional virtues of the Lucian Empire-‘extreme poverty’!

　　 Every country is too poor to wear trousers. But because of this, their folk style is extremely sturdy, as long as their lord gives an order, all men from twelve to sixty years old, grab a rusty hatchet and dared to join the battlefield.

　　 Dozens of large and small vassals, the smallest principality can easily draw hundreds of thousands of ‘armies’!

　　 With such neighbors, the pressure on the eastern front of the Durham Empire can naturally be imagined.

　　 And the northwest of the Deren Empire, it goes without saying. With the Lanyin Corridor as the boundary, the highland tribes on the north and south plateaus created countless troubles for the Deren Empire when they were still a tribal alliance.

　　 And now, the appearance of an ambitious, self-proclaimed empress woman, the highland tribe is a sign of unification.

　　 Needless to think, the northwestern part of the Durham Empire will face greater challenges in the future.

　　 And where is the west side of the Durham Empire?

　　 Hundreds of large and small kingdoms and principalities stand in the vast mountains, vast mountainous areas, large and small basins. These kingdoms and principalities are closed and conservative, and they have the sturdy and treacherous style of mountain people.

　　The Delun Empire is in the southwestern frontier area. The local garrison fights robbers and bandits all year round. Those robbers and bandits are numerous and well equipped. Sometimes they can even drag new-style field artillery to attack towns and plunder wealth and slaves.

　　 Needless to say, there is someone behind these robbers and gangsters.

　　Because of the extremely rugged geography, the Durham Empire has repeatedly organized a large army to encircle and suppress the bandits, but it only consumes countless food, grass and luggage, and failed to cause a substantial fatal blow to the bandits.

　　 As for the southwestern part of the Durham Empire, it is even more exciting.

　　 A Nice United Kingdom is separated by the Kingdom of Saint Xia, which is extremely at odds with the Deren Empire.

　　 Although the military of the United Kingdom of Nice is weak, they are extremely rich. Once they clashed with foreign enemies, they would not hesitate to smash down the golden mountains and hire a large number of mercenaries from the mountainous countries to the north to participate in the war.

　　 In the mountains, hundreds of kingdoms and principalities, large and small, the weakest principality can easily draw out tens of thousands of mercenaries who are brave and brave, who dare to kill you as long as you give them money.

　　 As long as the money is in place, the United Kingdom of Nice can have a powerful military power of tens of millions at any time.

　　 In terms of individual combat capabilities, the strength of these mercenaries is still higher than that of the regular army of the Durham Empire.

　　The United Kingdom of Nice, further west, is the Kingdom of Saint Xia, which is powerful, especially the naval power that can be called the superpower of the mainland of Medland.

　　 The Kingdom of Saint Xia is located in the southern part of the Medland Continent, and to the north of it is the core hinterland of the Medland Continent. The vast plains of large and small countries have their geographical advantages, so there are many powerful countries.

　　Compared to the top empires such as the Deren Empire and the Ice Sea Kingdom, these countries can only be called second-rate powers, but the national strength of each country cannot be underestimated and has extremely strong potential.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 Among those countries, more than a dozen countries adjacent to the Kingdom of Saint Xia are deeply influenced by it, just like the'little brother' country of the Kingdom of Saint Xia, and The overall national strength of each country is really not weak.

　　 The relationship between the Kingdom of Saint Xia and the Empire of Duren... Needless to say.

　　 If diplomats from both sides participate in banquets or formal diplomatic activities at the same time, if they meet, four or five times out of ten will disregard decency, and conflicts will break out on the spot!

　　 This is the case with diplomats who pay the most attention to diplomatic etiquette. One can imagine the relationship between the two countries.

　　 The huge naval fleet of the Kingdom of Saint Xia, once mobilized, can transport a million troops to Tulum Port in just half a month. Kenshuju.com 厺厽

　　How do you look at it, the Durham Empire is a lion trapped in a cage, the huge Durham Empire can be called the land of the four wars, if you want to control a country, then the Durham Empire should definitely not be the first choice.

　　 If Sherlock chooses... he would rather choose the Lucia Empire.

　　 The royal family of the Lucia Empire has limited control over the place, and the major lords do their own things. Whether it is military, political, or other aspects, the Lucia Empire is chaotic to the extreme.

　　 A chaotic empire is the easiest to control.

　　 So Sherlock was puzzled and asked his own question. This is a twenty-second-level sword-holder, an official question to a twenty-seventh-level king.

　　According to the tradition and rules of the Al organization, once such a formal question arises, Florence should give Sherlock a clear and unequivocal answer.

　　 "Oh, I can understand your doubts."

　　 Florence, with his arms folded and her back facing Sherlock, he looked out at the small lake in the distance and smiled softly.

　　 "I can even guess, in your mind, the unfavorable congenital conditions about the Deren Empire."

　　 "But, Sherlock, what is my purpose of controlling the Durham Empire?"

　　 "Become the emperor of the empire? No, no, I am not so boring."

"I will not consider the future development of the Durham Empire. I do not care about the geo-politics and governance of the Durham Empire. After a few years, whether the Durham Empire will exist or perish. For me, there is nothing Is it worth?"

"I have personally experienced the craziest and most brutal Tie Duo era of this huge empire... At that time, I was a brave and warrior general in this empire. I opened up territory for Emperor Tie Duo, the three provinces to the south of the empire, I led the troops to lay it down."

"I have personally experienced the darkest and bloodiest Doren era in this powerful empire... At that time, I was a second-level judge of the Supreme Court of this empire. I have witnessed this country, from the peak of national strength, in just ten years. It collapsed within a few years."

"Then, I personally experienced the precarious and precarious early Margaret era of the empire, experienced the rebirth of the empire, the re-strong mid-Margaret era, and now we are at the peak of this country's return to its peak and change again The late Margaret era of greed, cruelty, and wanton expansion."

　　 "Your Majesty Tie Duo, has controlled this country for seventy years."

　　 "Your Majesty Doren, have played with this country for fifty years."

　　 "Marguerite... She is an amazing woman. She has been diligent in papering this country for nearly eighty years."

　　 Sherlock's eyes widened slightly.厽厼

　　 The old monster that has survived from the Iron Duo era of the Durham Empire to the present?

　　Well, the old fellow Florence...Even if he has only experienced half of the Tieduo era, he is now more than one hundred and fifty years old.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 150 years of long years, how many connections did he accumulate in the Al organization, and how much power did he accumulate?

　　 "I know everything about this empire. I thoroughly understand everything about this empire. I once loved him madly and hated him hysterically, but now... I treat him very plainly."

"It's as if you were walking on the street and saw the oncoming ex-wife who had been divorced from you for fifty years... Would you still have any... impulse towards her? Will there be waves in your heart again? ?"

　　 "Oh, no...so, I don't care about the future of this empire!"

　　 "I only know that the army of the Durham Empire is the most comprehensive army in the mainland of Medland, and the huge population base of this empire can provide me with a powerful army of billions, which is enough!"

　　 Florence turned around. He picked up the tea cup on the desk, drank the peacock tongue inside, then flipped the tea cup, and a drop of turquoise tea fell on the desk.

　　 "I need a strong army to conquer the Land of Elephants."

　　 "A treasure like the peacock tongue should not belong to the group of ignorant, ignorant, backward, and uncivilized hillbilly monkeys whose entire nation is still in the era of slash and burn!"

"Me, and my partners, we have comprehensively assessed the national character of the countries in the Medland continent, measured in terms of discipline, obedience, will, and physique. The army of the Durham Empire is the entire Medland... The sharpest war knife!"

　　 "Ice Sea Kingdom is too hypocritical and proud."

　　 "Gaul Republic, too loose and afraid of death."

　　 "The United Kingdom of Nice, too cowardly, extremely cowardly."

　　 "The Kingdom of Saint Xia, the descendants of those **** sticks, you can't expect them to do anything." Follow the book to read zhuishukan.com 厺厽

　　 "As for the Lucia Empire...the group of alcohol-filled idiots ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ they are more unreliable than their sled dogs!"

　　 "Only the Deren Empire... the entire Medland people are laughing at their conservative, mechanical, veneer, and inhumane regularization and discipline, saying that they are just as boring and boring as machinery."

　　 "But, what a precious group of natural fighters... Since the founding of the Durham Empire, countless wars have proven that they are the best and most powerful fighters in the world..."

　　 After pondering for a moment, Florence hesitated.

　　 He subconsciously glanced eastward through the huge glass window.

　　 frowned, he murmured: "Well, at least, they are definitely the strongest and best fighters in Medland... As for the whole world... well, they..."

　　 Sherlock became curious again.

　　 Florence praised the fighters of the Durham Empire with such magnificent language, but he was not sure that the fighters of the Durham Empire were the best fighters in the world?

　　East?

　　 interesting.

　　 Sherlock secretly recorded this detail in his heart.

　　 "I admire you, Sherlock... It can even be said that I love and value you more than my own children."

Florence looked at Sherlock gently: "You are one of the most potential, talented, and outstanding young people in Al in the past fifty years... So, I hope you can join us... Or, at least, you Don't be our enemy."
