From Baron to Lord

Sparrow said to Allen with a bitter face, it seems that those troops have really driven him crazy.

"Your Majesty, no, we are only relying on force to forcibly suppress them now. Although there are alchemical items to control them, the number is too small after all. If we withdraw the troops all at once, they may rebel," Duke Will hurriedly said to Allen, but Sparrow was unhappy.

"Does Duke Will mean that we should just let these five million troops stay in the Source World? Do you know that they have spent nearly a billion gold coins in total, before and after?"

"If they keep staying there, how can we keep going?"

"How could there be so much? You're talking nonsense." Duke Will's first reaction upon hearing Sparrow's words was disbelief.

After all, as a Duke, he had also led troops before.

He knew that armies cost a lot, and now the Kingdom of Allen needed to support five million troops, which was even more terrifying, but it hadn't reached this level.

"If it weren't like this, why would I have asked the Grand Duke to withdraw the troops? Don't I know it's better to have troops there?"

Sparrow looked at Duke Will with disdain, "Now, three million of the troops have firearms. An ordinary firearm costs dozens of gold coins, not to mention the cost of bullets."

"Not only that, but there are also submachine guns, machine guns, turrets, those things that are more powerful and cost even more."

"There are also those sniper rifles specially made for Silver Knights and Golden Knights. Although the number is small, the price is really shocking."

"This alone cost hundreds of millions of gold coins."

Sparrow said quickly, "Also, due to acclimatization, the food they need has to be transported from the Kingdom of Allen to the Source World."

"Your Majesty asked to improve their treatment. Their treatment alone, their salaries alone, are close to a hundred million gold coins."

"Moreover, there are those iron carriages. This doesn't even include them. If you add the four railways covering the entire Roman Empire, that's going to be a lot of gold coins…"

Duke Will was choked by Sparrow's words. He really hadn't considered these things.

Seeing Duke Will like this, Sparrow became even more aggressive towards Duke Will.

"We racked our brains to reduce the number to this point."

Allen found it amusing to watch from below, watching Sparrow and Duke Will confront each other. They were actually just pawns, the real big shots were still behind.

Baskerville squinted his eyes, seemingly not caring about this, but Allen was sure that Sparrow's actions were inseparable from Baskerville.

Baskerville deserved to be the Prime Minister for decades. After being appointed as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Allen by Allen.

Although Baskerville was a newcomer to the Kingdom of Allen, he quickly corrected his position.

Moreover, in a very short period of time, he had subdued Sparrow, Oliver, and other ministers, and handled government affairs in an orderly manner, which made Allen very satisfied.

Knowing that Sparrow was Allen's confidant, he often pushed Sparrow out as a shield.

However, he also knew that Sparrow was an old-timer by Allen's side, so he didn't go too far.

He also taught Sparrow a lot of things, and Sparrow grew up very quickly. Allen turned a blind eye to some of his actions.

Cruise also seemed familiar with this scene. Although he was also watching this scene seriously, his expression was calm and there were no excessive actions 1.8 . Cruise was repeatedly reused by Allen, and now he is still the commander of all the troops.

Now most of the Dukes are led by Cruise. As for Marco and the others, they are not interested in this and did not interfere much.

"These are all Your Majesty's orders, are you saying that His Majesty is wrong?" Duke Will, unable to argue with Sparrow, simply brought out Allen.

Sparrow was taken aback, "I didn't say that. If it weren't for His Majesty, how could we occupy the Source World?"

"But I request that only 1.5 million troops be left."

"1.5 million is too few, at least 2 million are needed." Duke Will was not satisfied.

"Alright, stop arguing." Allen spoke at this time.

Chapter 535 Conferring Dukes

"Alright, no need to argue, I have already decided."

Allen said to Sparrow and Duke Will, and they immediately ended their quarrel and looked at Allen seriously.

"I plan to incorporate the Source World into the Kingdom of Allen." Allen first slowly stated his thoughts.

Garrosh and Rexxar stared at Allen, very nervous.

Allen glanced at them, wanting to laugh.

"Regarding the current Roman Empire, I have decided to divide them into two from Booth City, and hand them over to Rexxar and Garrosh to manage respectively. They are now strong enough, and have made many contributions on the battlefield." Garrosh and Rexxar turned red when they heard Allen's words, and knelt down, "Thank you, Grand Duke." Although they had speculated before, they still felt excited when the day really came.

After all, this is the Grand Duke? The dream of all Dragon Knights.

This is why Allen has been expanding. Otherwise, other kingdoms and even Dragon Knights in the hands of Marquises may not be many, but there will definitely be many Saint Domains.

But after all, there are only so many territories on the entire 25 continents, and it is impossible to drive away other Grand Dukes, right?

Now they can get a dragon as soon as they break through to the Saint Domain, and they can also become Grand Dukes, which is definitely a situation that countless people dream of.

"Your Majesty, in this case, our development of the Source World may be somewhat difficult…"

Baskerville couldn't sit still either, and disregarding offending Garrosh and Rexxar, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to Allen.

The others also reacted, and looked at Rexxar and Garrosh with complicated expressions.

Although this is the first time the Kingdom of Allen has conquered another world, other empires have conquered many other worlds and have ample experience on this continent.

In general, when they conquer another world, they send a large number of troops to collect some magical materials from that world until the mining is complete.

At this stage, even some legendary powerhouses will take action to help them.

As for those creatures, some that are valuable will be brought to this continent, and no one will care about the others.

If there are intelligent races, then they will make a lot of money. They will take away their cultivation methods, and at the same time, they will eliminate those powerful guys and bring them back to do hard labor.

It sounds very cruel, but they have always done this, after all, this is the only way to maximize profits.

After all, they didn't completely control that other world. Forcibly controlling it would take too much time.

Moreover, the duration of the passages was generally not very long. To continuously rule that other world would cost too much, making it not worth the effort.

Of course, these were not the most important reasons.

The main reason was that those worlds were not very stable. Once a passage connection was made, it would cause irreversible damage to them.

Furthermore, the process of occupying the world would cause enormous destruction.

Another point was that the world might not be suitable for humans to live in.

Otherwise, they wouldn't mind expanding their territory several times over.

Alan had found a treasure in obtaining the Origin World. After all, if it wasn't important, the Purgatory Warlord wouldn't have devoted so much effort to it, ultimately leading to his heavy losses.

The Radiant Empire initially didn't plan to give the Origin World to Alan, but only to weaken Alan's combat power.

They believed that Alan wouldn't be able to hold out for long and would have to seek assistance from the Radiant Empire due to losses in troops and generals.

Then the Radiant Empire could take the Origin World back, both weakening the strength of Alan's kingdom and the strength of the Origin World, a double win.

However, Alan didn't play by the rules, displaying powerful weapons: muskets and artillery, none of which were simple.

Seeing those things, the Radiant Empire gave up, knowing that Alan wouldn't have any problems dealing with the Origin World, and they didn't try to be clever again.

However, they believed that after Alan entered the Origin World, he would spend a lot of time dealing with the endless stream of enemies, and there was still some distance before he could completely occupy it.

But even if they occupied those relatively sturdy other worlds,

some would completely eliminate the intelligent creatures of the world, leaving only humans as a secret domain.

Or, even if they existed and couldn't all be taken away at once, they would be constantly exploited to profit from them.

Therefore, very few people would enfeoff nobles there, because their existence wouldn't last long.

Rexxar and Garrosh quickly understood this, and their faces turned pale.

"Don't worry, this time I will take a different approach."

Alan said calmly to them.

Now, the Origin World was incomparably solid, and with the alchemical items, its rule was very stable.

Now Alan couldn't help but have some new ideas. The previous violent plundering completely failed to maximize profits.

Of course, the most important thing was that Alan could completely control the Origin World, and he was reluctant to treat them so crudely.

Then, Alan explained his advanced knowledge to Bascule He and the others in detail.

Things like unifying the writing system to increase cultural identity, using trade deficits to earn price differences, and a large amount of cheap labor, which left Bascule He in a daze.

Bascule He felt that what he had learned in the past few decades was all garbage, because he could hardly understand anything Alan said.

Not only Bascule He, but Sparrow and the others also didn't understand, while Marco, Cruise, and the others were completely listening to heavenly scriptures.

However, one thing was certain: Garrosh and Rexxar would still be enfeoffed as archdukes, and this time a different approach would be taken to the Origin World.

"In that case, I have decided to leave only 400,000 troops in the Origin World, 200,000 each for Rexxar and Garrosh. As for the other places, it's up to you."

Garrosh and Rexxar were extremely excited, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Bascule He and Sparrow were still very satisfied when they heard Alan's words.

After all, there were only 400,000, and they were allocated to Garrosh and Rexxar, so they only needed to support them.

The biggest expense of Alan's kingdom had finally stopped. "As for Marco and the rest of you."

Alan looked at them with a smile, "You can take your troops back, but you have contributed a lot, and I won't treat you badly."

"I will reward each of you with one billion gold coins, and for the current army, I will equip them all with rifles."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Marco and the others were overjoyed, never expecting Alan to be so generous.

Chapter 536 Envoy of the Nok Empire

After hearing Alan's words, Marco and the others were extremely excited.

After all, one billion gold coins was equivalent to their tax revenue for a year, which was definitely a considerable sum.

Moreover, there were 200,000 muskets. They had long been envious of the muskets used by the soldiers of Alan's kingdom.

They had never seen those muskets before, and their power was very strong.

An ordinary soldier could actually exert the power of a bronze knight using a musket, which was really unbelievable.

However, Alan didn't mention this at all, and they tactfully didn't say anything.

After all, even the soldiers of Alan's kingdom were not fully equipped, so one could imagine the scarcity of this musket.

Now, hearing that they could get so many muskets, they were immediately extremely excited.

However, Sparrow's face didn't look very good, after all, Alan had spent more than four billion gold coins in one go.

The Radiant Empire's annual income was only more than 10 billion gold coins, and now it was all gone, and it was still supported by the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce and the gold coins in the treasury.

Alan saw Sparrow's face, but he didn't care at all.

Now, the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce could earn several hundred million gold coins a month, which was a very terrifying number.

It was definitely enough for Alan's expenses, and Alan didn't want to be a miser.

In the next few days, Marco and the others gradually withdrew their troops, returning with one billion gold coins and more than 200,000 muskets, fully loaded.

The army of Alan's kingdom also gradually withdrew, leaving only 400,000 troops.

However, Alan was not stingy. Several of those troops had a submachine gun, and dozens of people had a machine gun.

There were also nearly a thousand turrets, which could definitely be regarded as the strongest army.

Alan was not stingy either. Except for the area around Booth City, Alan divided all the territory of the Roman Empire equally between Garrosh and Rexxar.
