I'm such an old god, so sorry

"Don't underestimate Qianhong. Even in a weak state, the border guards can stop a hundred times as large as their own beast... Even if they can't hold on, they can retreat to the city of Qianhong. The second line of defense."

The worst-case scenario is to fall into half a thousand red duchy.

After thinking about the map of the Qianhong Principality for a moment, Xiude understood what Xiaerxi meant, and from her tone of voice, it could be seen that Miss Grand Duke seemed to be more inclined to this worst result intellectually.

That was really bad. The Thousand Red Principality was hit hard, and Scarlett’s implementation plan was bound to be hindered. This was not what Xiu De wanted to see.

Xiude smashed his lips, lamenting that it is too difficult for him to quietly engage in his career.

"...... It sounds not very optimistic, do you have any countermeasures?"

Xiude asked tentatively, if Xia Erxi was helpless, he planned to help secretly, such as... let the Lord of the Blue push a meteorite in the outer orbit and burn the Thousand Red Forest to white ground?

This method is feasible, but I really don't want to do it if I am not a last resort.

First of all, the vision of a meteorite falling from the sky will definitely attract the attention of the gods, and the risk of exposure to Xiude will increase again.

Secondly, the meteorites that contain part of the blue land will pollute the surrounding environment, turning a large area into the blue realm. The energy of great existence is not so easy to accept. Xiu Debao does not allow the Qianhong Principality to face it next What drastic changes may be better than before.

Fortunately, Xia Erxi did not show despair, she just hugged her chest and hummed:

"That's right, but it was a bad idea that the border knights came up with. I would never consider it."

Then he told Xiude the so-called solution.

In the final analysis, the crisis of the beast tide is caused by the lack of legendary lords in the Thousand Red Principality. As long as there is a legendary powerhouse in charge, the beast tide will not be harmful if it is flooded.

But the problem is that Xia Erxi can't inherit the Duke's legal lineage, and because of some political reasons, Qianhong Duchy is unable to ask for reinforcements from abroad.

So the frontier vassal planned to recruit a legendary powerhouse into the Duke's house.

Although Qianhong Principality is in an embarrassing situation, it cannot be ignored that this is a principality with very strong foundations, almost on par with some powerful kingdoms.

There is no shortage of legends on the mainland who have no family power but are eager to reach the sky. They will be happy to let their descendants become the rulers of the Qianhong Duchy.

To put it simply, it is to sell Xia Erxi, let a legendary wage earner put pressure on the Principality of Qianhong, and after Xia Erxi gives birth to an heir, he will pass on the Duke's Dharma line.

It only takes fifteen years to get it done at the fastest speed. Before this, ordinary legendary powerhouses can resist the beast tide, and once the Qianhong law line is inherited, it has a special bonus to the alien beast. The legendary lord will push the beast tide back all the way.

It was a perfect plan, if you ignore the feelings of Shaerxi.

"Wow...Your vassals are really welcome, are they trying to rebel?"

Xiude smiled infrequently when he heard this. He thought political marriage was a normal thing, but he never thought that his men would dare to force the monarch.

Oh, that's not right... Xia Erxi hasn't received the allegiance of the frontier lord yet.

"Rebellion, of course not... I don't agree that no one can force the Grand Duke of Qianhong Duchy."

Xia Erxi said coldly, the position of the Duke of the Thousand Red Clan was guaranteed by the Itari Empire. Xia Erxi's vassals could violate the power of the yin and the sun. They could not save Xia Erxi's face, but they could never force it. What the Grand Duke does is tantamount to rebellion.

If you don't want to face the anger of the Itari Empire, you still don't have the plan to hurt the Great Duke Qianhong.

Chapter 15 Jah Wolf

The Thousand Red Principality is now a vassal of the Itari Empire. This nascent empire in the north is in its strong period at the beginning of the founding of the nation. Those who dare to fight the Itari Empire at this time are basically impatient.

The Northland Witch Association has only been destroyed for a few years, and the heads of the ancestors of the seven witches are still hanging on the wall of crushing!Have you forgotten it?

Not to mention that the frontier knights are all good men who love the Qianhong Principality. Even if they are all conspirators with ghosts in their hearts, they have to calculate the cost of rebellion and dare not do anything unusual to the Qianhong family of the ruler. .

"You don't seem to be very angry."

Xiude noticed that even though Xiaerxi was frowning, he was not offended with anger.

Miss Grand Duke snorted after hearing the words, "I am not so stingy. The knights of the frontier collar are just straight-hearted, and their heart is still towards the Qianhong Principality."

As the heir of the Duke, Charcy does not exclude political marriage. After enjoying the glory of the family, she naturally also has to bear the obligations of the family, but it is a bit early for her to get married at her current age, and if she does it according to the frontier lord's words , Doesn't Xia Erxi never have a chance to prove his ability?

In later generations, he will only mention this thousand red grand prince lightly.

Being questioned about his own abilities is the main reason that makes Xia Erxi angry.

"If we need help, we can seek mercenaries from the Federation."

Xiude said that he knows that the Federation, the capital consortium, also has a strong force, that is, the federal mercenaries they cultivated are usually used as the defense force of the Federation, and they can also rent out one or two legions when they are fine. .

Apart from anything else, the combat effectiveness of the Federal Army is absolutely trustworthy, but it is sufficient to teach the country's regular army.

It's just that the rental fee is too high to be acceptable. Moreover, before that, the Principality of Thousand Reds could not afford federal mercenaries even if it had money. Because of its special geographical location, the Principality of Thousand Reds was targeted by all the surrounding forces.

Neither will the Thousand Red Principality be completely dead, nor will it be possible to let it grow. The Federation just wants to send mercenaries, and it has to look at the sentiments of the northern countries, and lock down the entire northern kingdom for a Thousand Red Principality with little development potential. The country’s market is simply stupid for capitalists.

However, the emergence of the Scarlet Moon System changed the federation’s attitude towards the Thousand Red Principality, especially now that the Itari Empire is taking the lead in boycotting the Federal Chamber of Commerce. It is not difficult to abandon a basically unprofitable market to support partners. select.

"If the situation is really bad, I will consider it."

Xia Erxi thought for a moment and replied.

Xiude admired her very much. Although she was still young, Miss Grand Duke did not have the impetuousness and squeamishness of this age, and she devoted herself to the identity of Grand Duke Qianhong.

For this reason, the girl can think in terms of political creatures. Regardless of how she is very resistant on the surface, if the Thousand Red Principality really has no retreat, presumably Xia Erxi will accept more excessive conditions.

"...It is pride that prompted you to work so hard."

Xiude said, tapping his fingers on the thick wooden armrests in the carriage.

Xia Erxi paused, took a deep look at Xiude, and said, "Yes, my pride is the pride of Qianhong that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years."

"That's good, pride is the noblest virtue."

Xiude nodded and leaned back on the back of his chair. The carriage has a good shock absorption device. In addition, the road leading to the mansion is smooth. Xiude can sleep quite comfortably under heating.

Xia Erxi watched Xiu De's peaceful sleeping face quietly, before taking a long time to look away and looking out the window.

No words all the way.

After arriving at the Duke’s mansion, Xia Erxi vacated an annex for Xiude to live in. The latter did not move much. Two boxes of books, one box for professional skills books, and the other box. Records and various novels about the customs of Ainfar.

Not to mention, although the development of the Internet has slowed down, Ainfal’s entertainment industry is really good. Anyway, Xiude is fascinated by the popular novels on the market, and he has not read the unfamiliar world famous books more than 100 years ago. Cold hard.

A magic workbench was also used to pass the time, but because it was quite expensive, it was not easy to survive, so Xiude took it with him.

A few almost identical changes of clothes, as well as small parts for personal washing, that's it.

So Xiude moved very quickly. After ten minutes, he was already lying on the bed in the other hall like a salted fish.
