"Are you planning to let Krober establish a nation overseas? Please, we both know that there are very few islands in the Azure Sea, and they're infested with sea creatures. How can you let Krober establish a nation on his own?"
When Baeron heard what Alvis was planning, he asked in surprise.
These dragon knights all knew what the blue sea looked like.
After all, the territories of various countries have long been saturated over the years, and in order to expand, they have all turned their attention to the blue sea.
But there are still sea creatures living above the blue sea. Although they are weak, they are not something that one or two kingdoms can defeat.
And even if they could win, the shipbuilding technology could not support the humans of the major kingdoms to conduct ocean exploration.
We can't just throw all the tasks onto the dragon's head, right?
Transport people, resources, food, search for islands, etc.
With the dragon's arrogance, it might turn against you on the spot.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After Krober tamed the Tin Dragon, the Golden Duchy automatically took over the remaining parts of the Moi Forest and the wasteland to the west.
So strictly speaking, the Golden Grand Duchy's area has already exceeded the limit of the Grand Duchy level."
The territory of an average duchy is only about 10,000 to 15,000 square kilometers, and can only accommodate three marquisates at most.
Even if this kind of duchy becomes independent, it is just an ordinary duchy, such as the Blue Bronze Duchy.
The Golden Grand Duchy is a higher level than ordinary duchies like the Blue Bronze Duchy.
Its land area can reach 20,000 to 30,000 square kilometers.
Now that Veronica has taken over the territory of Tin Dragon, the area of the Golden Duchy has exceeded 30,000 square kilometers, so Alvis is considering letting Krober go overseas to establish a country.
Thirty thousand square kilometers is the limit. The land area of a grand duchy cannot be larger than this.
If you exceed that, it means you have the ambition to become a kingdom.
By that time, you'd better hope that you really have a high-level dragon and a high-level dragon knight in your hands, and have the qualifications to be promoted to a kingdom.
Otherwise, the country will probably be destroyed.
Throughout history, countless countries have been destroyed. Although they are all principalities, there are also powerful principalities with two or three dragon knights and several giant dragons.
Even if the Golden Duchy includes the silver dragon Dina that it sent, there are only three dragons in total.
Therefore, all actions that should be taken openly must be taken.
Baeron nodded. As the ruler of a country, this method was also a common means, so he could naturally understand the deep meaning of it.
"But if you want to build a nation on the sea, you have to consider the sea people."
Alvis sneered.
"Hmph, the Sea Clan? Are those losers qualified to negotiate with me?"
"That's not true. Even though the Sea Clan failed in their struggle for supremacy in ancient times, they still retain a certain level of strength. Otherwise, you and I would have taken our dragon knight squad to plunder their treasure trove long ago."
Belron took a sip of the red wine, and the sweet and mellow taste of the summer red made him frown slightly.
It was obvious that this famously expensive red wine was not to his taste.
For him, stronger liquor is his favorite.
That fiery burning sensation is a pleasant feeling that no other alcohol can give you.
In this regard, he shares the same hobby with Harold the Copper Lord of the Orichalcum Kingdom.
They all like spirits or beer, and red wine is more like something for girls to drink.
Alvis nodded. He naturally knew the approximate strength of the sea people. It was not something that Krober, a white tin dragon knight, could defeat.
But he had no intention of letting Krobe fight the entire sea clan alone.
"I've already discussed this with them both. Aside from the islands in the eastern part of the Emerald Kingdom that have owners, I've authorized Krober to freely explore. Any islands he discovers will become his territory and part of his duchy."
Baeron poured a glass of beer from the flagon beside him. The sharp and refreshing taste made his eyes light up.
"Come to think of it, didn't the Sea Tribe divide the Azure Sea into six parts? Krober's Principality only occupies two of them. The land area probably doesn't meet the requirements for a duchy, right?"
The minimum area requirement for a duchy is 10,000 square kilometers.
Krober's current territory covers an area of 2,800 square kilometers.
If we replace them with the same area, the land area of Krober, which occupies one-third of the blue sea, is only 5,600 square kilometers, barely reaching more than half of the Dukedom.
But if the ocean area is included, the total area of Krobe's principality reaches an astonishing size.
It’s almost the same size as the Emerald Kingdom.
So that's enough. Resources are shared anyway, and he can't treat his brother-in-law badly.
He didn't have to pay tribute, and the resources provided by the two dragons every year were enough for him to live a life of luxury.
Oh shit!
I even paid with a silver dragon as compensation!
Thinking of this, Alvis suddenly felt that the summer red in his hand was no longer fragrant.
I participated in a dragon riding ceremony, but not only did I lose my dragon, I also had to apologize in front of everyone.
It can be said that both the inside and the outside of the body have been completely lost.
"Let's wait until Krober becomes a true dragon knight. It's too early for him now."
After ending with a simple sentence, Alves no longer wanted to talk about this topic.
"Okay, let's talk about a political marriage between our families. Xia Ni's life is almost over..."
