Although Li Cha's status is indeed high enough, it is not enough for a prince, especially a prince with real power who has run his own power, to be so diligent. There is a purpose. The fourth prince, Paley, seems to be out of touch, but in fact, he is definitely a man with means and a strong purpose. He is quite high in Richard's evaluation, and he will not do something meaningless. matter.

Paley was a little embarrassed when Li Cha pointed it out so directly, and after a second pause, he said:

"I do have an unkind request here."

Yes, do people in your family like to make rude invitations so much? I knew it was an unkind request, but I kept saying it.

"You talk about it first? I'll say something ugly first. It might be a little unrealistic for you to let me go off to help you fight for the throne."

Li Cha first left some room for himself. The fourth prince's virtue is somewhat similar to his own. If he talks too much, he may be slandered. , lest Parley see that Richard has accepted Ward's son as his disciple, and immediately raise some embarrassing demands. Although the two sides have common interests, the binding is not particularly tight. Richard can be biased towards the fourth prince. But he won't go out directly. With his strength, in this kind of battle, he just needs to stay on the sidelines. In order to avoid forcing Li Cha to the other side, no one will come back to provoke him. The tough Richard is not afraid of a prince, but these people have been in business for so long, and they only play some tricks to harm the interests of the Hunter family.

"Brother-in-law, where do you want to go? I'm not the same as the impatient eldest brother and I. At most, our brothers will only reach the rank of knights, and we don't even have a big knight. In the end, I can't live past the father and the king. I'm still talking about that, what is there now? Competitive."

"I want my brother-in-law to go to the south to help me out once."

Paley's business line is different from that of the eldest prince. The eldest prince pays attention to the development in the capital, and squeezes the second and the third who also developed in the capital. Taking advantage of his status as a prince and his shameless skills, he forcibly created his own world in the southern part of the kingdom, and also became a strong contender for the throne.

When Li Cha heard this request, he was also a little embarrassed. It is said that the Fourth Prince is not only providing Li Cha with a lot of gem resources, but also sharing a lot of soap and cigarette profits every month. As half an ally, he should help, but This matter conflicts with Li Cha's plan, and the route is not right.

Li Cha didn't plan to leave the Northland for a long time. After the wedding in Jinlong was over, it was Li Cha's plan to go back to the Northland immediately after marrying Messiah. Now the situation is treacherous and it is not suitable for running around. Just when Richard was about to refuse, Paley continued to add:

"100,000 Jinnar, how about I owe you a favor?"

Li Cha stopped in his mouth after hearing what he wanted to refuse, and fell into hesitation again. Although Paley didn't give an artifact that Richard couldn't refuse like Prince Ward, he gave Jinnar too much.

With this Jinnar, the dragon army that Richard tried to build around Moriel can be put on the agenda immediately, and the financial tension can be quickly relieved. During this time, the Hunter family has been preparing for the upcoming The big change hoarded supplies, and the food in the river valley was expensive for the Hunter family.

However, although Li Cha lacks Jinnar now, after all, Jinnar is not something that must be taken down like Liz's shelter before. From the capital to the south to help Paley, it is at least once and for all. For more than half a month, the schedule was seriously delayed, so I could only refuse, but it was a pity that the 100,000 jinnars.

Just when Li Cha was about to ruthlessly refuse, a flash of light suddenly flashed. It seemed that there was a way to get the best of both worlds.

"I don't know what His Highness Paley needs me to do?"

Li Cha, who already had a preliminary plan, asked first.

When Paley heard the drama, the fake smile on his face became more natural in Richard's eyes.

"Help me teach the sea clan a lesson, they are getting more and more greedy."

After Li Cha questioned, Paley slowly explained the whole thing. Paley became prosperous in the south, and his influence spread over several major trading cities and ports. Naturally, he had to deal with the sea clan.

The sea clan and the humans in the south barely maintained a balance of power. The sea clan on the shore could not beat the human beings. The southern legion of more than one million, although the combat power was not comparable to the elite of the Dragon Breath Legion, but it was also the regular army of the kingdom, beating the sea. There is no problem with the clan, but in the sea, human beings are in a weak position. A sea boat carrying hundreds of troops is besieged by thousands of sea clans at every turn, and the bottom of the ship covered with iron is sometimes destroyed by the sea clan powerhouses. When the ship is sunk and at sea, the human side becomes the younger brother.

In the south, humans and the sea clan sometimes fight, sometimes they trade peacefully. Paley has been in business for so many years, and he has also found some ways. He has reached an agreement with the sea clan and created several stable routes. Gold is no exception.

Unfortunately, the human dragon knights have been under too much pressure from the orcs recently. Except for Thor, who is in the capital, all the other four dragon knights have been transferred to the Dragon Breath Pass to assist in the battle. The dragon knights who used to wander to the south from time to time have also been nailed to death. In the first line of the Dragon's Breath Pass, I can't open my body.

Without the forceful suppression of the dragon knights, the sea clan suddenly felt that they could do it again. Not only did they frequently loot human port cities, but some trade agreements with Parda were also not abided by. There were several incidents of robbing human ships. cause the ship to crash,

The ship, the cargo on the ship, and the skilled crew and navy, these are valuable treasures. After a few waves of losses, even Paley couldn't bear it. Paley organized several revenges himself, but they all ended in failure. , Although Paley is strong in the south, but at sea, ordinary soldiers cannot form a quantitative advantage over the sea clan. If they are masters, Paley can only recruit some masters of the great knight rank, who can really hurt the masters of the sea clan. It is very precious in the whole kingdom, and he does not dare to fight the idea of ​​​​the dragon knight in the country. For the entire kingdom, it is only a small matter, far less than the threat of the orcs, and it is impossible to transfer the precious dragon knight from the dragon's breath pass.

After thinking about it, I put my attention on Li Cha. This is a master who is on a par with the Dragon Knights of Zhenguo. He also brings a giant dragon, and it is not a taboo to bribe Li Cha. It can be said that Li Cha became the most suitable candidate, the only problem is only Richard's own will.

"Is one sky step enough?"

Although Li Cha is only an earth knight at the moment, he has shamelessly acquiesced that he is a master of the sky-level, and the sky-level for ten minutes in a month is also a sky-level, not to mention that he also brings a half-step sky-level Chilong .

"Well, although it's a bit reluctant, there are no masters in the sea clan. At present, the only masters in the sea clan are the high priest and the sea king. I am organizing some knights to attack their mussel fields. It is not difficult for them to submit. Not big?"

"Can I bring you with me to attack the sea clan's mussel field?"

Although Li Cha is in the Northland, he attaches great importance to information. Some details of the information may not be collected by Nightingale and Yusi, but important common sense is still there.

Although most of the sea people live in the water, the mussel farms are on the beaches of some islands or floating on the sea surface. This is an important place involving the breeding of the next generation of the sea people. In such an important place, most of them are naturally far away from the sea. Around the deep-sea islands of human beings, and also the place where the sea clan is heavily armed,

The human army has to take a boat, cross a large sea of ​​water, and break through the heavy army of the sea clan to attack the mussel field. This is basically impossible for a human army without dragon knights, even if there are dragon knights. It is also 55%, at most it has the ability to threaten the sea clan, which makes the sea clan have some scruples. Now that the dragon knight has not shown his face for a long time, naturally the sea clan has become arrogant again.

"It's okay, just make a gesture, you don't have to hit the sea clan's mussel field, as long as you hurt them and tell them that we have the ability to threaten the mussel field, they will naturally restrain."

Although Paley was annoyed at the random tearing up of the agreement by the sea clan, he was still very clear-headed, knowing that even with the help of Li Cha, the human army was still too weak at sea. Although there were opportunities to fight mussels, the price to pay might be a little heavy.

"You're just keeping your peace for a while. To really build power, you have to take down a few of their mussel farms."

Paley shook his head and said:

"I thought the same thing at the beginning. I tried a few times and still couldn't do it. It's just impossible to compromise."

"What if I said I could help?"

"How to help?"

Facing Paley's question, Richard did not answer directly, but pointed to the tall warrior beside him and introduced to Paley:

"This is Fred, currently my captain of the bodyguard..."

This burly and somewhat outrageous warrior, Paley actually noticed it as soon as he walked into the yard, but only glanced at it a little. After all, with such a large population base of humans, although such a burly warrior is rare, it is really important. Slowly and carefully, I can find at least a hundred similar ones, which are not worthy of Parley's attention. Now, after Richard said, Parley turned his attention to Fred again.

After Richard finished his introduction, he nodded towards Fred, who quickly understood, ignited his grudge, and rose to the height of the eaves while wearing a heavy armor.

"Sky Knight!"

Paley spit out these words almost word by word, with a look of disbelief on his face. Besides himself, Li Cha actually has the combat power of the sky-level, which is another combat power equivalent to the dragon knight. Ah, just when Paley was still shocked by Fred's strength, Fred, who had already shown his strength, descended from the air and continued to stay beside Richard.

"How about it, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, do you want to set a bigger target?"

Ignoring Paley, who was still in shock, Richard continued to ask, this was just Richard hiding, and letting Mills come out to shock too much might have the opposite effect.

As soon as Li Cha asked the question, Paley, who was still in shock, immediately reacted, and his brain began to run wildly. He realized that this was a huge opportunity, and if he seized it, he might really let the Haizu live for a long time. Xiao stopped, and as the main hero, he has Li Cha's absolute force platform, and his prestige in the south will be improved to a higher level. In addition to cleaning up the sea clan, those who originally robbed him of food in their bowls ignored him. , and even some of the great nobles who hated him had to bow their heads to him.

The strength of Richard's side exceeded his expectations. Two sky and a red dragon might not be enough to deal with the orcs, but it is definitely a crushing power in the south. The initial plan has to be completely redone, like Li Cha said the same thing, maybe the plan should be changed to take the mussel field directly and hurt the sea clan.

"Let me think about it, the plans may have to change."

Richard doesn't need to prepare too much, he only needs to provide experts when the time comes, but Paley, who needs to provide ordinary soldiers, quasi-knights, knights and other basic to backbone combat power, has to spend some time re-preparing, which involves Force mobilization, logistical preparation, and ship deployment are not something that can be decided by a single sentence here.

"It's okay, we still have enough time, at least we have to wait until my wedding is over, and then your sister will have time to help you after returning to Ironwood City."

"Um"

Paley nodded after hearing this~lightnovelpub.net~ and then said:

"Then I won't bother you for now."

Now it's Paley's turn to be anxious. Richard's process will only take a month or two, which seems to be a long time, but for a medium-scale war, the preparation time is still a little tight, and Paley must immediately After re-planning and re-arranging the tasks, I don't have the heart to chat and eat here with Richard.

"Wait, Your Highness Parley."

"Um?"

Just when Paley turned to leave, Richard opened his mouth to stop Paley.

"Two sky steps and one giant dragon, I'm afraid I have to pay more."

Paley: "…"

After some friendly negotiation, Paley finally made a bid of 200,000 jinnars, and the money was divided into two payments, of which 100,000 jinnars were the deposit, which should be paid immediately, and the other 100,000 jinnars would be paid after the completion of the matter. Richard, very fair.

After Richard left in Paley, he immediately asked Yu Sidu to send a letter to Tiemucheng through Fengniao, and immediately expanded the scale of the Dragon Army to five banner regiments and 25,000 people, and increased the support for various materials. Don't be afraid that the money is not enough. Suddenly rich Li Cha finally realized the happiness of a local tyrant.

The reason why Li Cha is willing to agree to take action is actually very simple. He also has to thank the eldest prince for the artifact. When he returns to the Northland, once the artifact is placed in the Ironwood Fort, the magic guild is built, and immediately learn to teleport. You don't have to worry about the long journey back and forth. The problem that the few cities that have troubled Li Cha for a long time can't be reached can be completely solved...
