From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

Although Krober did think so in his heart, he couldn't lead people to rush to the Holy Beast Island immediately.

First of all, the strength of the Sea People Tribe. According to Yan, the population of their tribe is about 3,000 to 4,000, among which there are several official-level combat forces left behind and another great knight combat force.

(A medium-sized island, several hundred square kilometers, is half the size of an earldom. It is not surprising that there are such high-end forces. The detailed data of the Holy Beast Island will be written later, but it is better to say it in advance, for fear of being scolded.)

Krober has an advantage in high-end combat power, but the difference in low-end combat power is huge.

After all, he can't go to the island, kill the enemy's high-end combat power with a few swords, and then directly shake the tiger body, leak the kingly aura, and then the people on the island will submit to him one after another.

Judging from Yan and the tribesmen he led, the cohesion between them is still strong, and the same belief also brings them a sense of identity between nations.

As a "foreigner", I rushed up and killed all the leaders. Do I still expect them to kneel down and surrender like a soft bone?

This is obviously unrealistic.

Just like Krober's hometown in his previous life, even though it was invaded by a powerful enemy at that time, it still had blood and fought back, and finally drove the invaders out of its homeland.

Although the Sea People Tribe can't be compared with the motherland in the previous life, they still have the sense of faith passed down from generation to generation and the wildness that has been preserved in the struggle with the natural environment.

These are enough to turn the Sea People Tribe, which has a certain backstab ability, into a chicken rib.

Unlike the civilians on Black Feather Island who are used to being ruled by nobles, the natives on Holy Beast Island don't know how many years they have been passed down there in the form of a tribe. If there is suddenly a ruler out of thin air now, they must be full of resistance in their hearts.

Throughout the ages, the weak have always been subservient to the strong. This "strong" not only means that one's own strength is strong enough, but also that there must be a strong force under his command to support him.

Therefore, if Krober wants to successfully conquer the Holy Beast Island, he must first have a very strong army before that.

In the past three months, Yan and his tribesmen have already adapted to life on Black Feather Island.

Compared with those pirates who like to kill civilians, the Sea People Tribe only broke through the Baron's castle and did not do too many things that angered the heavens and the people, so the local residents did not hate them that much.

However, as one of the culprits who attacked Black Feather Island, don't expect these civilians to have any good face for them. There are many cases where shops do not sell them food.

Some people even threw stones and sand at them. These people were locals who were disabled or had their family and friends killed in the attack.

But Yan and his people could only endure it, because they knew what a powerful country they were facing, as revealed intentionally or unintentionally by Haier.

He believed that the strong man who could easily crush the Sea People Tribe was actually just a member of the grassroots of the ruling class in this country.

There were many people stronger than Krober.

This completely extinguished the rebellious heart in Yan's heart and broke the backbone of this group of people. Now they only hoped that Krober would keep his promise and allow his people to join Krober's territory and become a member of this powerful country.

He also asked Krober to send people to the Holy Beast Island more than once, and he was willing to personally persuade his people to surrender.

But Krober sternly rejected him.

Compared with the policy of persuading surrender, Krober was more inclined to show his strong strength and plant an irresistible seed in the hearts of the tribesmen.

Otherwise, there would definitely be trouble after he brought them to Black Feather Island.

It can be seen from Yan that this group of tribesmen are wild and untamed. When they were just captured, they asked to surrender to him. As a result, after a few months, they extinguished their rebellious hearts and surrendered completely after learning about the strength of the Golden Grand Duchy.

If he easily accepted the loyalty of the tribesmen, these people would definitely not be grateful to him in their hearts. They just chose to endure it temporarily because of Krober's strong strength.

In the future, he will implement top-secret projects such as manufacturing sea salt on Black Feather Island. If their disloyalty leads to losses, Krober would rather kill all the tribesmen than let these seemingly surrendered guys merge into his territory.

Hyer and Hermann also agreed with Krober's idea.

After a long period of observation, Hermann found that this group of savages had huge differences from the people in the duchy in terms of living habits and religious beliefs.

If they were rashly introduced to Black Feather Island, it would inevitably lead to fierce conflicts and even serious social unrest.

After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that the simplest and most effective way was to kill these savages directly to prevent future troubles.

Hyer also holds a similar view, but he prefers to use these savages as slaves.

In this way, the problem of insufficient labor on Black Feather Island can be greatly alleviated, and the army can be further expanded.

After all, only with sufficient human resources as support can the stable development of the territory be ensured.

In fact, Kroeber also holds similar ideas deep in his heart.

He plans to capture all the tribesmen on the Holy Beast Island as slaves, and then screen them according to their actual performance and loyalty to the territory.

For those who perform well and are loyal, they can be promoted to a certain extent and become civilians;

For those who have a strong sense of resistance, they can only be regarded as slaves forever and work until they die.

Doing so can not only obtain a large number of slaves as a labor force supplement, but also reduce the labor pressure of the people on the island to a certain extent.

At the same time, by constantly conquering new islands and incorporating them into the territory, it can not only expand the territory, but also significantly improve the sense of belonging and morale of the people in the territory. It is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

"In this case, then expand the army!

The weapons and equipment on the island are currently sufficient to arm our troops.

On the premise of ensuring that the minimum labor standards in the territory are met, the rest of the people will be recruited, the more the better."

"I sincerely hope that through this battle, the dignity of the Sea People Tribe can be crushed in one fell swoop."

After all, they will be slaves in the future, and if they don't adapt early, it will really kill people.

(This is the decision made by the author after much thought. After all, their ancestors have lived there for who knows how many years. How could they allow a foreigner to rule them? Moreover, they are wild and difficult to tame. It is definitely not possible to directly absorb them as subjects. It is better to use them as labor and a stable source of soldiers.)

After issuing the order to expand the army, Krober also plans to hire a few guards from the nearby nobles.

Anyway, since ancient times, the soldiers of the nobles have the tradition of serving as mercenaries. They are equipped with their own equipment and are well-trained. Most of the elite troops have the strength of knights' attendants.

They can fight, are convenient, and if the negotiation is good, the price will be very cheap.

This is undoubtedly a good help.

Moreover, since Krober entered the Black Feather Island, he has not visited the neighbors nearby. It is just right to visit them at this time and talk about business by the way to lay a good foundation for future actions.

And Yan of the Sea People Tribe knew that Krober planned to go to the Holy Beast Island when he learned that the Black Feather Island Port was preparing ships to go on a long voyage.

So he hurried to the castle to meet Krober, and after meeting him, he thanked and flattered him, and Krober also chatted with Yan for a while with a smile on his face.

After Yan left, Krober put away his smile, and his face showed an expression that was not sure whether it was regret or sigh.

"What a pity... a great knight."

As the leader of the Sea People Tribe, Krober would not allow him to continue living. As long as he was there, the Sea People Tribe would have a backbone and there would be the possibility of resistance.

As a ruler, Krober naturally had to eliminate all unstable factors in the territory, even if he was a scarce high-end combat force.

As Krober stayed in a high position for a long time, his suspicious nature became more and more obvious, and it was unknown whether this was good or bad.
