Chapter 73 Military Expansion



Although Krober really thought so in his heart, he couldn't lead his men to the Holy Beast Island immediately.

First of all, there is the strength of the Sea People tribe. According to Yan, their tribe has a population of three to four thousand, including several formal-level fighters who stayed behind and another great knight.

(A medium-sized island, several hundred square kilometers, almost the size of half an earldom. It's not surprising that it has such high-end strength. I'll write about the detailed data of the Holy Beast Island later, but it's better to mention it in advance to avoid being scolded.)

Krober has the upper hand in high-end combat power, but there is a huge difference in low-end combat power.

After all, he couldn't just go to the island, kill the enemy's top fighters with a few swords, then shake his body like a tiger, revealing his domineering aura, and then the people on the island would submit to him.

Judging from Yan and the people he leads, the cohesion among them is quite strong, and the same beliefs also give them a sense of national identity.

As an "outsider", I rushed forward and killed all the leaders. Do I still expect them to kneel down and surrender like a coward?

This is obviously unrealistic.

Just like Krober’s hometown in his previous life, even though it was invaded by a more powerful enemy at the time, it still had blood and rose up to resist, and eventually drove the invaders out of its homeland.

Although the Sea People tribe cannot be compared with their former homeland, 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 certain backstabbing capabilities, into a useless thing.

Unlike the common people on Black Feather Island who are accustomed to being ruled by the nobles, the natives on Holy Beast Island have been living there in the form of a tribe for who knows how many years. If a ruler suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they would definitely be full of resistance in their hearts.

Throughout history, the weak have always been subject to the strong. This "strong" not only refers to being strong enough in oneself, but also having the support of powerful forces under one's control.

Therefore, if Krober wants to successfully conquer the Holy Beast Island, he must first have an army that looks very powerful.

During these three months, Yan and his tribesmen had already adapted to life on Black Feather Island.

Compared to those pirates who like to kill civilians, the Sea People Tribe only broke into the baron's castle and did not do much to anger the people, so the local residents did not actually have much hatred towards them.

However, as one of the culprits who attacked Kuroba Island, they couldn't expect these civilians to treat them well, and there were many cases of shops refusing to sell them food.

Some people even threw stones and sand at them. These people were local people who had been seriously injured or had lost family members or friends in the attack.

But Yan and his people could only endure it, because they knew from Haier's intentional or unintentional revelations how powerful a country they were facing.

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 are many people who are more powerful than Kroeber.

This completely extinguished the rebellious spirit in Yanxin and broke the backbone of this group of people. They now 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 requested Krober more than once to send people to the Holy Beast Island, and he was willing to go there personally to persuade his people to surrender.

But Kroeber sternly rejected him.

Compared with the conciliatory policy of persuading surrender, Krober prefers to demonstrate his strong strength and plant an irresistible seed in the hearts of those tribesmen.

Otherwise, there will definitely be trouble after I bring them to Heiyu Island.

It can be seen from Yan that these tribesmen were wild and untamed. When they were first captured, they asked to surrender to him. However, after a few months, after learning about the power of the Golden Duchy, they extinguished their rebellious thoughts and surrendered completely.

If he accepted the loyalty of the tribesmen so easily, they would definitely not be grateful to him. They only chose to endure it temporarily because of Krober's powerful strength.

In the future, he will be implementing top-secret projects such as producing sea salt on Black Feather Island. If losses are caused due to their disloyalty, Krober would rather kill all the tribesmen than allow these seemingly surrendered guys to be incorporated into his territory.

Hyer and Herman also agreed with Kroeber's ideas.

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

If introduced rashly into Kuroba Island, it will inevitably trigger fierce conflicts and may even lead to 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.

Hyell held a similar view, but he was more inclined to use these savages as slaves.

This will greatly alleviate the problem of labor shortage on Kuroba Island and further expand the size of the army.

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

In fact, Kroeber held similar thoughts deep in his heart.

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

Those who have performed well and are loyal can be promoted to civilians to a certain extent;
