Wolf King

The internal structure of the Snow Werewolf's house is simple and rude.The brick-made bed in the Chase-style house occupies three-fifths of the area of ​​the house. The remaining space is reserved for people to walk, and it is used to pile up a variety of kimchi. Altar pot pots for pickles ferment.

The debris in the house can be tolerated, and the bed like the Chase bed is a bit challenging for acceptance... like the noble children like Dan Crowdy, His Royal Highness Prince like Carlisle, it is estimated that this is the first time in his life. People sleeping side by side on a bed...

But now, no one cares about this. When Prince Carlisle could hardly conceal the advice of cub Ayun to his companions in his own way, Dan Claudie, the occasionally amused noble N generation, also appeared as if Seeing the awkward expression of the new world gate being opened...

"This... this idea is unheard of, but it sounds like it is very likely, is this my illusion?" Dan Claudy gasped and looked at others uncertainly.

Alchemist Tim Humphrey nodded slowly and solemnly: "There are 500,000 troops in our country, 100,000 in the navy, and 400,000 in the army, deducting some of the servants, serfs, and Those auxiliary soldiers... can at least send 400,000 troops into the war. To defeat our army, the federation needs at least half a million people, to destroy our army, the federation needs at least one million troops, plus logistics transfer To collect farmers, it will take about three years to prepare." What he thought, he was shocked and looked at the prince in amazement, "...this is the reason that Ayun wants us to ally with the five southern countries in three years?"

St. Bridge, a country with only tens of millions of people, actually has half a million troops. It is simply a poor soldier. The consumption of the standing army is enough to create a financial crisis for St. Bridge-which of the six in the south is not In this way, if the huge army cannot be maintained, those countries that are jealous of the production of spices in the southern kingdom have already sent troops to fight, turning the six southern countries into their actual plantations.

Prince Carlisle also thought about the meaning of Ayun's statement that "you will settle the accounts and others will settle the accounts" afterwards. What you want to say is that if you can't calculate the accounts, others will calculate, then you are dead.

Breathing lightly, he already knew how naive his original idea was. Carlisle nodded slightly, welcoming Tim’s gaze: "The situation in the five southern countries is similar to ours. The smallest country can also provide 200,000 troops. Union, the Federation will not dare to attack us easily... Of course, we cannot expect that the Federation will do nothing before, we know that the six southern countries can become a tough bone when they unite, then the Federation does not know ?"

The expressions of Dan, Tim, and Darren became more dignified, and wars, at least partial wars, were inevitable.

"Then fight, if we have not resisted, any country that comes out of the Federation will treat us as soft persimmons, and we must let them know that we, the St. Bridgens, have good spirits." Dan Crowdy frowned, angry. Ground.

Tim hesitated and said, "His Royal Highness, we can all understand that St. Bridge's determination to defend itself without blood can't be proven, but...how can we persuade the nobles?"

These words made the scene cold down...

St. Bridge in a tropical climate suitable for spice growth, because of the particularity of its fist products, it is difficult to maintain the land power sub-enclosure like other countries, that is, the king divides the domestic land to the nobles, and the nobles themselves Dominate the territory, maintain the army, and pay taxes to the king. If you do this, the nobles, big and small, have long been swallowed up by the forces of other countries.

Under the influence of this special geographical environment, the power distribution system of the six southern countries naturally evolved into a "power sub-enclosure": land belongs to the state, and the right to use the land belongs to the nobility; the army belongs to the country, and the general who leads the army comes from the nobility .

Um... compared to the feudal centralization system in ancient China, a country like Saint Bridge still lags a little bit. It has not evolved to develop an imperial examination system that provides a bottom-line ascending channel, and used the imperial examination system to create a civil service group that maintains the king's power ( The imperial examination system is actually very advanced. What lags behind is the content of the examination. The poems and essays are based on the eight-legged essays. There is no need for mythological essays. The essays are uncomfortable because the modern keyboard man is forced on the forum. It was all the nobles of the civil servant group (the founding father and the noble), and the emperor stood high as a referee; in the middle and later period, the noble was crushed into waste, and the civil servant group shifted the target, either fighting inside or nibbling with the emperor; the so-called feudal emperor The technique is to see if the emperor can control the elite group, which can support the emperor's power but is also terrible.

As far as the feudal system is concerned, it is difficult to say which of these two evolutions is better. The power is segregated from the nobility. The proportion of waste in the ruling class is specified as high without a limit. It is good to blame, blame, and benefit everyone. Stinky problems can squeeze the royal family out of constipation; power is confined to at least the civil servant groups whose IQ belongs to the upper middle class in the current stage of civilization, although they certainly can't avoid problems such as blame and blame, but somehow they can do practical things, the royal decree (the emperor) It's better than the former to make it so little.

And now, His Highness Carlisle is faced with the troubles of the former situation: the war is to die, let those nobles who actually master the army take their soldiers to consume on the battlefield, the king's order alone will definitely not work... the emperor Want to change the commander for a word, the king wants to replace the leading noble? emmmmmm... It's not to say that you can't change it, one-time operation... Well, the designation of political transactions cannot be avoided at a price.

Carlisle pressed his forehead with his finger. This situation was also thought of by the wise man Ayun, so he put the instructions of "building a core team" before preparing for war...

——I am still not mature enough enough to pay attention to this point!

Raising his eyelids to look at his companions who accompanied his wayward self into the prairie, Carlisle subconsciously looked at these three companions from an objective and cruel perspective that he had never had before: glory, Tim Humphrey who had a future on him It is undoubtedly the most reliable partner; Darren, the country’s premier warrior of great swords, is not valued because of his humble origins, and he has given him a way to rise; Dan is his best friend—

No, no, Carlisle quickly shook his head to make himself sensible. He could not use blood, sparseness, or status as the employment criteria. This was specifically mentioned by Ayun.

But... Dan is still reliable. Carlisle struggled to pull himself out of the original naive way of thinking, silently wondering about his good friend, Dan who grew up with him since childhood. The Claudius family came into the aristocratic circle only after the great grandfather's generation, and squeezed into the aristocratic circle. It was only after Dan's father's generation that he finally rose to the viscount-although it is also rich, but talented After several generations, the Claudius family still did not get rid of the upstart label, and it was difficult to cling to the real power aristocracy, so their family can only bet on themselves who are not high in order to maintain the inheritance of the knighthood. ...Only when Dan's son succeeded in the succession to the title, would the Claudius family meet the criteria of a qualified aristocracy for the "five generations of wealth".

Carlisle was somewhat guilty. He actually used such a cold eye to measure his friends. He closed his eyes and slowed down, suppressing the abnormal emotions. When Dan asked him if he was uncomfortable, Carlisle opened his eyes and looked at To my companions, I said one by one: "I want to participate in the throne succession competition and form a team attached to my three princes for the purpose of defending the peaceful development of St. Bridge."

"Relying on the existing real power aristocracy can not achieve our purpose. They only care about whether their manor can be more, the size of the plantation can be larger-they are not the same as us, we can not count on them to be our reliable Companions."

Dan’s eyes were bright, Tim’s breath was a little chaotic, and Darren was even more excited... No matter when, where, and under what circumstances, things that were closely related to his own interests were the most touching ones. The second prince they follow can become the next king, so their status will be greatly improved.

Two contenders in front of His Royal Highness Carlisle, one is his elder brother and high prince Anthony, the other is the eldest son of the previous king, Prince Hilbert, the latter needless to say, the current king is nephew and pro son How do you choose to use your knees to think about it, the former... also not without chance!

Seeing the changes in the look of the three intimate partners with his own eyes, Prince Carlisle couldn't help but sigh... He didn't really want to compete with his elder brother, but obviously, stepping into the throne is the best way to attract the available people to his side as soon as possible. .

The so-called feelings, no matter whether it is flesh and blood, friendship, or love, can not just pass through the vital interests! In the face of sufficient interests, loyalty and betrayal have no value at all!

Prince Carlisle, who was still young, fell asleep with a complicated mood and silently sacrificed his innocence in his sleep.

This prince who just looked out and looked at the stormy world outside the greenhouse, growing in a greenhouse, also needs time to adapt to the truth Xiao Yun taught him: The so-called growth is to understand that accepting other people is not innocent with you obligation.

The next day, the five human guests who had just arrived at the Snow Wolf tribe enjoyed the unreasonable wake-up bell...

"What's the matter?!" Carlisle sat up suddenly, and Dan, who was sleeping near him, drooled out of the blanket, drooling.

"Hey, hey, good morning~~"

A cub with a height of less than one meter came in with an iron pan, and a cub holding a bowl and spoon walked behind. Meng Meng Da Tu Hao cubs looked at the piercing, endless metal percussion sounds like nothing, and greeted human guests easily: "Don’t mind, A Yun is knocking on the bed number. Come and have breakfast first?"

"..." The four adult males stared intently at a rabbit-like cub that resembled a human child, but had large eyes, a golden pupil, and a cat ear on his head.

The cub lifted the iron pot hard and moved it to the large stove where the kang head was not burned. The cub holding the bowl put the bowl on the stove head and looked seriously: "After eating, put the bowl in the pot well. Someone came back to clean up, don’t break the bowl."

"..." Dan wiped the saliva from the back of his hand with his back, and touched a packet of sugar from the suitcase beside the pillow-St. Bridge made sugar, and brought samples to the grassland. They used it for braised pork yesterday. The brought sugar-followed the magic, climbed up and handed it to the two rabbit cubs.

"Thank you~" Tu Hao's little cub held the sugar packet and thanked her with a happy smile.

"..." Dan couldn't help but reach out to touch the little head of the cub, although it was not a mount, but these little things are really cute!

The two cubs bounced away, Dan stared at their backs for a few seconds, and turned their heads: "Carlisle, can these children be adopted?"

Without Carlisle speaking out, Darren's big slap shot Dan swaying: "You think too much... If you anger that black cat family again, we won't care about you."

Breakfast is a noodle soup with vegetables and a bowl of elm money mixed with wild garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. Their portion is calculated according to adult rabbits. In the morning, the whole party will be eaten and the elm leaves will be scraped with a spoon. It must be clean...St. Bridges also eat elm money, but only the poorest at the bottom. Darren, a citizen of the city, has never seen this thing and thought it was a specialty on the grassland.

After eating the Snow Wolf style breakfast, as soon as the four went out, they saw a large group of gray dwarfs coming out of the road on both sides of the house...

There is no need to shovel the snow forward, the gray dwarves naturally do not need to shout, they are talking lively while walking, and some people turn their heads curiously to look at the few humans standing in front of the house, but they just look at them more and do not approach Don't greet them.

"There must be four or fifty so many dwarfs?" Dan was surprised. "There were dwarf tribes on the grassland."

"If you look closely, their skin is gray." Tim gave him a white look. "That's a gray dwarf, not a dwarf. How could the dwarf have a tribe on the grassland, and it hasn't caught the tigers."

St. Bridge is a coastal country, and there is also a popular slave trade in the country. Some of the rarer slaves were caught and sold to the Tigers. Carlisle had seen his cousin Prince Hilbert purchase a high price. The centaur captured by the famous tiger tribe-the centaur is also a cherished mount, but the character is too bad to be tuned. The centaur died after a few months of hunger strike.

"The wise man Ayun's tribe is of course different from other tribes. It's not surprising that the Snow Wolf tribe that human exiles are willing to contain, and then the gray dwarf." Carlisle said, "Here...it's better not to mention slaves. In fact, I can see that the wise man, Ayun, attaches great importance to the prairie people. We must be careful not to say anything that disgusts them, especially you, Dan."

"I haven't dared to say anything long ago..." Dan murmured with a bitter face. "Yesterday, that particularly magnificent snow werewolf, I just looked at him as much as possible..."

The work site of the engineering team that has already started is busy moving the red leaves of limestone: "Ah, ah!"

Carlisle smiled, and it was Dan's advantage to hear advice. After walking a few steps outward, Carlisle suddenly felt something was wrong, and took a few more steps. His face changed dramatically: "Wait...Yumi?"

The three Tim were shocked...

The four hurried to the house where Umi lived, and just after turning around, they saw Umi dressed neatly... Gentle like water, gentle and moving, bright and charming...Following the particularly handsome Snow Wolf, dance to tune.

Dahe held a large bundle of ash and gray vegetables in his left hand and a bucket of bean sprouts in his right hand. He felt a headache and turned back: "Don't follow me like this, I still have to do something!"

"Let someone help you, okay~Dahehe~~" Yumi held her heart in her hands, her voice as sweet as soaking honey.

The four Carlisle watched the handsome and angry Snow Werewolf get goose bumps and tremble...

"Don't change my name! My name is Dahe!" Dahe is really sensational.

"Well~~Dahe~~" Yumi dragged the tail particularly long.

Dahe turned his head and ran away.

"Wait for others~~" The ghost knew how she shouted so loudly with such a sweet and soft voice.

Dahe runs faster.

"Just leave her alone?" Tim turned his head to look at Carlisle.

"Well, follow her." Carlisle said blankly.

Dan Dan looked at the back of Dahe: "How did this guy grow like this..."

From the passage on the other side, out of the collective dormitory area, I saw... Several adult rabbits were working together to press a fat black wild boar on the stone table. The wild boar's mouth was tightly tied with vine grass and could only be sent out. With a grunt, the rabbits placed the bucket under the pig's neck, and drew out the cold, broad-backed machete...

A knife cut through the throat of the wild boar, and the splattered blood stuck to the rabbit under the knife. This rabbit rubbed the broad-back machete on the skin of the wild boar. Waving (＾0＾)┛: "Good morning, you can eat braised pork today~"

Without the sugar and spices brought by human beings, pork can't be made so delicious, of course, be polite and polite~

For the first time in this life, I saw Carlisle at the pig-killing site: "..."

Hurry to leave the **** pig-killing site, and haven't left the square yet. On the face, we saw the wise man Ayun and several snow werewolves turned from the intersection.

"Prince Carlisle!" Xiao Yun's eyes lit up.

"Good morning, Mr. Ayun." The four quickly stood upright and saluted in a standard manner.

"Don't be so polite, we are good friends of all-weather friendship!" Xiao Yun smiled and took the hand of Prince Carlisle with intimacy. "Come here, it is a rare trip to the grasslands, it is better to experience the life of our grassland people Interesting~"

Ten minutes later, four human hunks each held a clean pot-bellied pottery, staring at the vast open-air sheepfold, countless sheep, and... squatting in front to show them how to milk Ayun, the wise man.

"Look, squeeze like this, go down, apply proper force, don't make the ewes feel pain, one milk squeezed out and change another... Isn't it very funny?" Xiao Yun laughed, "This is The daily work of the cubs of our tribe, so I can’t sow the pups today, just let a few of you experience the fun of our prairie people-it’s fun!"

His Royal Highness Prince Carlisle Harvey Ferdinand: "..."

I squeezed hundreds of ewes' milk daringly, and the morning passed. At noon, Carlisle's delicious braised pork all felt like a goat's milk lingering on the nose. go with……

After eating in the square, the enthusiastic wise man Ayun immediately gathered close to them, and his smile was particularly affinity: "The milk that was squeezed in the morning is enough for this time, we will play something else in the afternoon..."

Carlisle was relieved.

"... sowing wheat is actually very particular, it is better to have a few to feel the sowing method of our Snow Wolf tribe, to see what is different from your St. Bridge wheat?" Ayun the wise man enthusiastically.

Carlisle and others: "..." Can I refuse? Not very interested, can you just say it?

To grow more than 2,000 acres of wheat, Xiao Yun even used the cat's paws of the cubs. Where would he sit and watch the four ready-made humans stand idle?

The four who could not speak out refused to be brought into the field after all. Dan Crowdy, who was born a distinguished prince and at least three generations of his family, suffocated. Darren and Tim who played the little boyman from the small family did not do this work. The straw shoes given by the snow werewolves stood among the ridges, and their expressions were particularly helpless... Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?

To sow bluntly is to be patient and careful. All four people have received education above the standard line. It is not difficult to learn. After passing through the hurdle in your heart, you can get started after listening carefully to the instructions, and quickly contribute only than the adult rabbit. Slightly poor labor.

After a busy hour, Ayun, the wise man who had left for a while, came back with a handsome guy Dahe and **** Yumi...

In front of so many people, including Yumi himself, the wise man Ayun patted the handsome guy Dahe’s arm and said with a long heart: "Don’t be emotional, just temporarily hand over the work in the kitchen to the horns. We don’t have enough people to plant the seeds. Come on, we have four more hands, it's a good deal..."

Prince Carlisle, covered in mud, looked down at his hand.

When he looked up again, he saw that Yumi was asked to pull his robe up to his waist and take off his riding boots for straw shoes. His face soon showed a familiar, helpless expression...

Carlisle bowed his head and continued to sow. There was only one word in his heart: "Should!"

His Royal Highness Prince Carlisle never felt that it was so difficult to spend an afternoon. Obviously, sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea with friends would quickly spend the past hours, and actually torture people every minute and every second. ......During dinner, he was still energetic with swordsmanship or horseback hunting for a whole day, and his back pain almost couldn't sit still!

Fortunately, this snow wolf family is also very hygienic. It can provide warm bath water before bed to let everyone take a good bath, wash away the dirt on the body, and lie down until the day before. On the Chase pavilion, Carlisle felt like he was finally saved and fell asleep.

The tired prince only felt that it did not take long to close his eyes. The amazing and unreasonable iron knocks awakened him again. When he opened his eyes, Carlisle couldn't believe it: was the night so short? !

Struggling to sit up, Carlisle almost felt that there was a problem with his eyes-was it clearly black outside?

He supported his waist and got out of bed, and walked out the door, and he saw...The wise man Ayun stood on the side of the aisle, holding a round iron-like toy in one hand and a sickle in the other.

"Ah, Prince Carlisle, you don't need to get up, I just told some people to get up early to sow." Xiao Yun waved his hand with a smile.

"..." Carlisle looked up at the top of his head, the moon half-covered in the clouds was large and round, and then lowered his head to the gentle smile of the wise man Ayun, no, you "early", is it too early? !
