Yang Tianyi and Duke Edward all have the same views on the way to conquer the world.
For the stubborn resisters, the ruthless iron fist of the Legion of Stars will crush all their hopes and use absolute force to destroy their will to resist; for those who dare to face and welcome the changes brought by the group, they will naturally be rewarded. He deserves the rewards and gifts. After all, it is Yang Tianyi's unchanging life creed not to disappoint his supporters.
As for those worms who pretend to cater to the group's orders or requirements, they will never find too much hard work in a punishment camp that dares to ask for anything from anyone.
Facts have proved that when the completion of work is no longer linked to salary but to life, the enthusiasm and quality of work of criminals will not be weaker than that of regular employees, but will be much stronger.
According to the predictions of the Star Hub, as Edward begins his road of conquest, the Kingdom of Leon alone will need at least three 100,000-level punishment camps, and by then this number will only be much higher.
Therefore, in the future, Xius III will not only become the industrial logistics base of the group, but will also be an important stronghold of the punishment camp for a considerable period of time. Tens of thousands of prisoners will serve their sentences in the production line cages carefully designed by the group for them until what happens. When the "atonement" is completed, they can return to society and become free individuals.
Yang Tianyi, who had read the list of felons in the punishment camp, recalled that the prisoners who would be released soon after serving their sentences would probably have to work for the group for free.
One thousand two hundred years.
After smiling slightly, Yang Tianyi put this insignificant matter behind him and continued to chat with the Duke about the current situation of the Hughes family.
Since the technology that can use plant fibers to make paper was put into use by Edward, the entire Siusland has broken away from the backward era of using animal leather to make paper. Both the speed of information exchange and the amount of storage far exceeded what a medieval feudal territory had. ability.
So much so that Edward had no choice but to build a magnificent library in Xiusnia, the most populous city in the West and where the family first took root, regardless of the cost, to collect various folk and official classics.
By reading these books, Yang Tianyi's understanding of the Kingdom of Leon and the Hughes family has risen to a higher level.
First of all, the current First Kingdom of Leon has a short history of less than fifty years. In the first forty years, the king's throne in White Rock City, the capital of the kingdom, was firmly sat on by Philips I. After his death, Phillips II died young due to excessive indulgence only five years after he succeeded to the throne.
And for some unknown reason, none of the dozens of beautiful and healthy concubines gave birth to a single child for this man.
The extermination of heirs led to the death of the second son in bed, and the glorious and great Phillips family was unable to find any heir who could wear the crown.
When the building was about to collapse, a group of royal nobles got a so-called illegitimate son from nowhere and elected him as the third king of the Kingdom of Leon.
Edward, who was still underage at the time, also followed his father Orenzi-Sius to White Rock City to witness this absurd scene - a baby still lying in the cradle with saliva on his face accepted hundreds of nobles with a blank look on his face. of allegiance, and the pure gold laurel leaf crown as the king's symbol was placed on the head of Philip II's mother, the baby's nominal grandmother.
The new king was young and in frail health. The Queen Mother served as regent but was not recognized and respected by the nobles. As the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day. The Kingdom of Leon, which has lost its backbone, is not only weak diplomatically, but also even worse militarily.
The insensitive and selfish nobles were no longer willing to be sent by the regent for the sake of illusory honor. Without the serfs and free people provided by the local nobles to serve as soldiers, the Kingdom of Leon had to cede land to several surrounding countries every year to pay compensation in exchange for a short period of time. of peace.
This is the status quo of the Kingdom of Leon, and it is also the status quo that Duke Edward has always been eager to break.
Originally, if there had not been a sudden appearance of the Demonic Tide, the powerful Hughes Guards would have been sent to White Rock City for a different-world version of "Qingjun's Side". Unfortunately, the appearance of the Demonic Tide restrained the Hughes family. All the strength, so the matter of sending troops to the capital was naturally dropped.
However, all this changed after the intervention of the Star Group. Not only was the demonic tide that had troubled Edward for more than twenty years trapped near the abyss portal, but the powerful Star Arms also gave Edward the opportunity to conquer the world. Plenty of confidence.
"Before launching military operations, I would like to try to resolve the matter through peaceful means. If the Queen Mother is willing to hand over the power of regent to me, the Duke of Border Guards, not only will the public be convinced, but many people will also be saved."
Putting his slightly sweaty hands close to the fireplace, Edward pretended to be relaxed and said: "Phillips II died miserably, leaving only a bunch of concubines to guard the boudoir. It's a pity that at that time, he only looked at the white stone statues in the palace. , I must take a look at it if I go there again this time.”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so good at Edward!"
Yang Tianyi laughed a few times and asked teasingly: "Are you planning to take a few back to the Duke's mansion in Xiusnia to warm your bed?"
"Ahem, no, no, no, I still prefer free love." Edward coughed twice and waved his hands, indicating that he did not dare to get involved with the late king's widow.
After all, he went in the name of peacefully gaining political power. If he was found to have evil intentions towards the widow of the late king during the negotiations, which nobleman would safely hand over the crown to an "old king next door"?
As the son of Orenzius, one of the leading military nobles in the kingdom, Edward had a lot of sex with women when he was young, but as he said - he prefers free love and firmly believes that strong-willed melons are not sweet.
And as the only son of the former Duke and the current Duke of Hughes, he was not thirsty either.
Sometimes a man's happiness is so simple. The two of them gathered by the fireplace and chatted about their youthful frivolity and indulgence. Unfortunately, Yang Tianyi was a moral model both before and after time travel. So most of the time it was Edward who kept talking.
...
Early the next morning, at the airport of the advancing base, Yang Tianyi saw the Duke, who had been waiting for a long time, sitting boredly on an alloy weapons storage box, fiddling with the tablet in his hand, reading some outdated jokes and unknown items. Pictures coming.
"Captain, good morning!"
Edward noticed Yang Tianyi's approach through the sound of the robot guard stepping on the ground. He quickly closed the page on the tablet as if he had done something bad, squeezed out a smile and waved to his captain, indicating that he was here.
"Hey, what are you looking at this early in the morning?"
After smiling, Yang Tianyi quickened his pace and found that the Duke was dressed very solemnly today - a luxurious military uniform that was not a dress but was better than a dress.
The white woolen shawl draped on the right shoulder symbolizes the plows of the Hughes family that open up fertile land for the people, while the blood-red cloak tied on the left shoulder represents the sharp sword of the Hughes family that will destroy all obstacles and use their Blood dyed red, this is a flawless white cloak.
Paired with Edward's full head of blond hair and light golden pupils, he looks like an evil prince coming out of a dark fairy tale. He is noble and divine with a hint of evil, which is enough to make thousands of girls fall for him.
Of course, it would be more perfect if the smile on his face could be restrained.
"The deportation machine will take us to the border station, and from there we will transfer to your Duke's train to go to the outskirts of White Rock City. Is that okay?"
He took the tablet handed over from Edward and flipped through it, and found that there was nothing special except for some things that men loved to read. This made Yang Tianyi, the captain, very heartbroken.
A powerful duke who rules a territory of 200,000 square kilometers and more than two million subjects can only view some static pictures that have been copied in advance, and cannot even log in to the website.
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
"In a while, I will have people use lines to connect the Internet to the Elysian Space World. With super strong signals from low-orbit satellites, you can watch whatever you want!"
Under Yang Tianyi's apologetic eyes, the Duke's neck slightly retracted into his collar and stretched out.
As expected, I was not following the wrong person.
