Wizard Lords: Building an Empire starts from the panel

"What if your judgment is wrong? What if the werewolf elite does not appear in Crowfall Forest as you predicted, but instead joins forces with other orc elites who may sneak in to attack a key node of ours? what to do?"

Faced with the sudden questioning from Marquis Ashan, Li Wei was caught off guard.

"Lord Marquis, I considered this situation at the time, but the possibility was too low. It is already very difficult for the orcs to sneak in an elite force.

If several elite troops are released in the same area at the same time, the risk of exposure will be very high, the chance of success is low, and the possibility of the entire army being annihilated is even greater.

Therefore, I think that the orcs will choose a relatively safe method and let the orc elites who have sneaked in to act independently and attack our food roads to shake up our frontline army. "

"So you are betting that the orcs will not choose to gamble? Since the orcs have chosen to take risks and put their elites behind us, why is it not possible to go one step further and bring together a few elites to do something big?"

"My Lord Marquis, I——"

"You don't need to explain too much. Do you know what I am most disappointed with?"

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty the Marquis."

"Ignore the trivial matter of you falsely reporting some military exploits. You have captured more than 400 heads of third-level werewolves and above. Even if there are 3,000 enemy troops, there is nothing wrong with it. The military exploits and rewards are given by the kingdom, not by me. of.

What disappoints me the most is that you didn't report the military situation in time and used the entire battle situation as a bet to win a small amount of military merit!

If you were just an ordinary baron or viscount, I wouldn't blame you so much. Even if this kind of thing happened to a noble who came from the west to support you, I would understand it very well.

To gain military glory for oneself and one's family is a matter of course.

However, it would be unforgivable if this kind of thing happened to a great noble in the north, or to a core member of my Ashan family. The great nobles are responsible for the overall war situation in their region.

As for you Levi, what I want to say is that you need to open up the situation and don't care about temporary gains and losses, but should consider the overall situation and the long-term.

The overall situation and long-term situation I'm talking about refer to the overall situation and long-term situation of the northern border, or the five newly expanded counties. I'm not teaching you to be a passionate young man or an idealist. "

Marquis Yashan hesitated for a moment and sighed quietly:

"I only say this because you are my chosen successor!"

Although Li Wei had some speculation about this matter, Marquis Ashan's explicit statement still shocked him.

"Flora is my most beloved daughter and my most proud heir, bar none. I plan to pass on the title of Marquis of Ashan to her within fifteen years, put aside the burden of the territory, and pursue the legend.

However, although Flora is very good in cultivation, she is still not strong enough in terms of military affairs, general affairs, and planning to shoulder the heavy burden of the Ashan family or even the entire five new counties.

I am not asking you to change your surname and abandon the name Monterey. I hope that you can help Flora secure her position as Marquis of Ashan as her husband.

As a leader who has an overview of the overall situation, temporary gains and losses are nothing at all. If you can manage York County well, manage the five newly expanded counties, and stabilize the northern border, your benefits will definitely be indispensable.

It is even possible that the Monterey family can become a great noble while you are alive. "

Li Wei didn't know how to answer the call for a moment. He didn't expect Marquis Ashan to give him useful information so directly.

"Lord Marquis, I——"

Marquis Ashan waved his hand, and Li Wei swallowed back his words.

"Originally, what I said today was supposed to be said before you and Flora got engaged, but I heard something today, so I decided to show it off with you in advance.

When I came back today, I happened to hear someone say that you and Pat had some minor conflicts over some trivial things.

I feel that given your personality, this conflict came out of nowhere. I think you probably wanted to use Pat to test my attitude.

If I really train you as an heir, you can also use Pat's incident to shock the group and add a layer of protection to yourself. "

Li Wei couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his head, his little bit of Jiujiu had nowhere to hide from Marquis Ashan.

“To be honest, putting aside personal emotions, what you do is quite high-level.

Remember what I said about you before? Know the current situation, know the advance and retreat, know the military strategy, know the affairs of the common people, have both wisdom and courage, and be good at making decisions.

Your performance during this period more and more proves that my judgment is correct.

It's just that you have to change your mentality. The Monterey family is not everything to you. You need to open up your horizons and take a longer-term view.

Nor do I need you to focus on the next hundred years of the kingdom.

As my appointed heir, what you need to look at is the overall situation of the northern border or the newly expanded five counties in the next twenty years.

You have to remember that the northern border, especially the five newly expanded counties, is the foundation of the Ashan family, and there are other places to worry about.

Do you still remember why I insisted on improving the production process of Luo Ya's potion? "

"Because even if we mobilize the entire northern border, the production capacity limit of Roya Pharmacy is already there."

Marquis Ashan asked: "Then why don't I ask for help from the kingdom?

There are a total of twenty-six counties in the hinterland, and the other three realms combined have more than ten counties. It is completely possible to gather enough spellcasters to participate in the refining of Roja potion. "

"Is it because other regions won't listen to your arrangements at will?"

“It’s not just that simple, if this matter can pass the vote of the Noble Council, other regions will also respond.

However, due to the widespread competition among the major interest groups within the kingdom, our northern aristocratic group is the strongest, and has been suppressed overtly and covertly by the other three major aristocratic groups in the three realms and the royal family. "

Li Wei couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. The kingdom has 22 border counties and 26 hinterland counties. Among them, the northern nobles occupy 9 border counties.

Although five of them are newly developed, in terms of overall strength, they are still stronger than the two major noble groups in the Western and Southern Territories combined.

"If I really allocate the production task of Roya Potion to other regions through the Noble Council, I'm afraid that it will cause trouble for us at the critical moment.

For example, Roja medicine was supplied normally in the early stage, but in the middle of the battle, they suddenly found some excuses and reasons to delay or reduce the supply. The logistics then used the lack of preparation as an excuse to delay for a while to expand the amount of food shipped.

In this way, if the frontline army has no food, it will have to collect food on the spot, and those who will die will be the people of my newly expanded five counties.

They don't need to starve to death too much, they just need to set back the development of the newly expanded five counties for a few more years, and then their goal will be achieved. "
