Krober had a brief conversation with Grand Duchess Veronica, discussing some matters regarding the war.
In this conversation, Grand Duchess Veronica became the speaker, while Krober listened quietly.
For Krober, despite having experienced two lifetimes, he had never actually stepped onto the battlefield.
In order to ensure that he would not make a fool of himself when he first participated in the battle in the future, he decided to consult directly with the experienced Grand Duke Veronica to learn how to deal with or avoid possible problems.
Grand Duchess Veronica was only too happy to answer these questions for her "little rose".
In her eyes, Krober will surely shine on the battlefield in the future.
However, at present, Krober's strength is still weak and it is not suitable to participate in such a high-level battle.
Anyway, every year many students from the Knight School founded by Grand Duchess Veronica's brother, Alvis I, join the army and become official knights.
After decades of accumulation, even the number of great knights has become quite considerable, and Krober is not the only one.
Therefore, Grand Duke Veronica planned to wait until Krober had acquired the most basic strength before considering taking him to the battlefield.
After all, the strong ones all came from fighting on the battlefield, and none of them grew up in a greenhouse.
If the Emerald Kingdom's low-end combat power was really exhausted, Veronica would not send Krober to the battlefield.
She would only recruit other Grand Knights and Official Knights within the Duchy.
After all, Krober is gifted, and after signing the contract with Griffin, he was destined to become a phantom beast knight.
Veronica has even begun to think about how to tame the cunning tin dragon deep in the Moi Forest.
Even though the Tin Dragon couldn't defeat Vivian, whose strength had greatly increased after the mutation, if it faced an ordinary golden dragon, it would be normal for the two sides to be evenly matched.
By the time Krober is successfully promoted to a fantasy beast knight, I believe Vivian will have grown to adulthood by then, and it will be easy for her to catch the little tin dragon.
If Clober becomes a phantom beast knight by then, she can completely control the tin dragon and force him to engage in a mental battle with Clober.
If successful, her Golden Duchy will have two dragon knights, greatly increasing its strength.
If she failed, she would kill Xilong, enrich the country's mineral reserves, and strengthen the country's strength.
Besides, if it really doesn't work, she will shamelessly go to her brother and ask him to let Krober try in the Dragon Garden of the Emerald Kingdom. He is so outstanding that there will always be a dragon that likes him.
The cooperation between the Dragon Knight and the Dragon is not as simple as 1+1=2.
The chat lasted until the evening.
Even though Krober repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, Grand Duchess Veronica decided to return to St. Gold Castle.
After all, she had almost relaxed after the day out, and there was still a lot of official business waiting for her to deal with when she returned.
Krober had no choice but to bid farewell to Grand Duchess Veronica reluctantly.
As the golden dragon Vivian flew into the sky, Krober slowly withdrew his gaze.
Riding the warhorse that Hyer had left there, Krober returned directly to the camp.
After a simple dinner, Krober took out a blank piece of parchment and planned to list the development plan for the territory during this period.
Kroeber's original idea was to slowly build up strength, increase the population, and then continue to explore new islands.
But now that war is imminent, he can no longer afford to procrastinate in building his territory.
The most important thing in building a territory at present is strength, which includes the overall strength of Krober himself and his subordinates.
The strength of the Great Knight Krober could not be improved in a short period of time, at least not within the next few months, so he set his sights on the nobles and soldiers under his command.
There are currently a total of 150 soldiers on Black Feather Island and Holy Beast Island.
Twenty soldiers from the Golden Rose Family, ten surrendered pirates, fifty recruits from Amethyst Island, thirty recruits from Black Feather Island, and forty clansmen led by Yan at the time, a total of one hundred and fifty people.
The current population of 5,000 under Krober's command is still a little too few. It may be enough to maintain daily law and order, but it is not enough to engage in some small-scale armed conflicts.
After all, the war is about to break out in the Emerald Kingdom, and there will definitely be a large number of refugees displaced, who will most likely become bandits and roam across the border.
As a key transportation hub, Black Feather Island must be heavily guarded to stabilize Krober's purse so that he can properly build Amethyst Island.
Therefore, the third round of military expansion is a foregone conclusion.
Krober planned to go there all at once and double the number of troops to 300. A force of this size would not delay the development of the territory, and would also have a certain military strength to ensure the security of the territory.
Expanding the military is one aspect, and high-end combat capabilities also need to be cultivated.
Hyel's family has a total of three official knights, among whom Hyel himself is working on Amethyst Island.
Krober will not miss this ready-made labor force. Their family will select a member to assist Knight Foster on Black Feather Island together with Hermann.
The other one will lead the troops to patrol the sea, and any refugees or pirates they encounter will be defeated directly.
After defeating them, you can consider sending them to your territory as slaves to free up more labor.
The production of potions also needs to be put on the agenda. Krober's territory is currently in great need of magicians who can prepare potions.
His top priority was to quickly find a magician and keep him to work in the territory.
"Damn it, why is it so troublesome."
You won’t know until you deal with it, and you’ll be shocked once you do. These two points are just the most important ones. If you include the others, I don’t know how many pages of paper it will take.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
