Transform into a fairy girl

The city of Karsus was the No. 1 city during the Ligurian Snadir Federation. It was also the largest city in the Ligurian Plain and was known as the Star of Ligurian.

Since Lacacia conquered Ribria, Mordrake has regarded the city of Karsus as its main business target, established the Governor's Palace, and built many new satellite cities in the surrounding area to protect Karsus.

Mordrake set up a total of nine satellite cities, eight cities were set up from the east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest, and a new fortress was set up in the fortress heights in the north of Karsus. , completing the ladder-shaped defense circle against Karsus.

If there is a war, the nine satellite cities will become Karsus' most advantageous peripheral protection. Once the satellite cities are attacked, Karsus can send troops to support immediately. With the scale of Karsus' city and material reserves, it can definitely support it. Can afford an unusually large-scale battle.

Of course, while Mordrake was running Karsus, he was actively recruiting troops and building weapons, and it seemed that he was taking action again.

Ji Ran seemed to have a premonition of something when she looked at the blacksmith shop that was smoking all day and night in the city, as well as the carriages transporting iron ore that shuttled through the city every day.

"Aren't you satisfied with getting Liguria? Do you still want to continue waging war?" Ji Ran found Mordrake and asked him for confirmation.

"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Mordrake asked pretending not to know.

"The blacksmith shop is building weapons day and night, and the carriages transporting iron ore are busy. Aren't they preparing for war?" Ji Ran looked at Mordrake and asked.

Mordrake looked at Ji Ran and had to admire this girl's intelligence and wisdom for seeing through his secret plan so easily.

"Didn't you just sign a non-aggression treaty with your neighboring countries? In order to show respect for the agreement, the other side has withdrawn its troops on the border and expressed the greatest goodwill to us. But why do you want to break your promise?

Now that there are no disasters in the country, and the people have finally lived a stable life again, shouldn't you focus your main energy on running your own home?

Now you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You own the entire Ligurian Plain. Your current territory is even larger than the territory of the Ligurian Empire back then. This is a good time for you to show off your skills. Why don’t you Lead everyone to live a prosperous life and become a wise monarch." Ji Ran looked at Mordrake and advised him sincerely.

When Mordrake heard this, he smiled and nodded, full of respect for Ji Ran. He knew that Ai Yi was doing it for his own good. She was a kind and kind girl with the innate love of the Virgin Mary.

"Give up the war. Now that the war has finally stopped, you should focus on restoring production and construction. Make Liguria the best and richest place, so that you Lacacia people can permanently stand in this land. A beautiful and rich land." Ji Ran continued.

"Occupy this place forever haha, you are too optimistic. We can't stay here for long. If we are lucky, maybe one, two hundred, two, three hundred years, but it will never exceed 200 years. Of course, if we are unlucky, , maybe in a few decades or more than ten years, they may be driven back to their hometown by these people.

go. Mordrake said with a smile.

He has been familiar with history books since he was a child and is very familiar with human history. No invader in history will last long. Unless another nation is completely eliminated or integrated with it, it will be driven out sooner or later.

There is no dynasty in this world that is always prosperous. There will be decline when there is prosperity. Especially as a ruler of a foreign race, when you are strong, the surrounding tribes may surrender to you, but when you decline, they will They come to settle accounts with you even more fiercely. This is common in human history.

Moreover, the size of an empire often depends on the previous generations of kings. Of course, there are examples of ZTE masters who opened up territories, but such examples are too rare. In the thousands of years of human history, there are only a few people. That's all, and in most dynasties, it is basically the founding king who establishes the territory of the empire.

The size of an empire is determined by how much territory the founding king can conquer.

Although all Liguria has been conquered and Lacacia has become a powerful country in the west, there are still many powerful countries in the east of the world, and the Lacacia people have been blocked by Liguria for many years. To the west of the Taiur River, there is no chance to come into contact with Eastern civilization, and one can only occasionally hear legends about the East from the mouths of bards and merchants.

It is said that the East is a very mysterious and prosperous place. There are flowers and gold everywhere. Men and women wear beautiful clothes. They use exquisite utensils that have never been seen by Westerners. used to drink something called tea, the food they ate was exquisite and delicate, and the place they lived in was as beautiful as heaven.

Mordrake has longed for the mysterious East since he was a child, so he wanted to see the beauty of the East.

The small Liguria was not enough to satisfy him. He needed to continue heading east, towards the place of his dreams.

"By the way, I think I heard Miliya say, don't you also want to see the east? Why don't we just go to the east together and see how beautiful the place where the sun rises is?" Mordrake smiled and told Ji Ran said.

Hearing Mordrake's words, Ji Ran shook her head firmly, "If the road to the east is opened with a butcher knife and war, then I would rather not go."

"How can we go to the East if not through war?" Mordrake looked at Ji Ran and asked.

"If you really yearn for the East, you can disguise yourself as a businessman and go to the East to see it." Ji Ran gave Mordrake an idea.

Mordrake smiled slightly and shook his head gently, "It's too dangerous. The most dangerous people in the world are businessmen. Moreover, on the way to the east, there are many bandits and robbers, and no one restrains them. They He would rob passing caravans and plunder their money, even their women.

You are not allowed to go to the East privately until I open the way to the East. "

"Hey, why do you want to restrict my freedom?" Ji Ran said to Mordrake angrily.

"Aiyi, I don't want to restrict your freedom, but I am afraid that you will be in danger. I don't want you to get hurt, understand?" Mordrake stepped forward and looked at Ji Ran affectionately and said.
