Now that he had obtained the specific locations and information of several islands near Amethyst Island, Krober would naturally not waste such a good opportunity.
So he began to prepare to organize a fleet and plan to start a new maritime exploration.
Pioneering is not an easy task.
Under normal procedures, you first need to send a team to conduct reconnaissance, explore the specific conditions and general terrain of the island, and then bring back the prepared map.
The advantage of this is that you can avoid being wiped out by one or a group of powerful monsters after you bring your people to the island.
The disadvantage is that it takes a long time and there will be great casualties.
If the exploration team brings back general information about the island, the nobles will send the main force to explore the island after learning the specific situation on the island.
And that Naga was equivalent to helping Krober conduct preliminary exploration.
Just like Yan at that time.
The deserted island and green leaf island he marked were not dangerous in themselves, only the scorched earth island was specially marked with a danger sign.
Krober planned to conquer the two small islands first.
With Kroeber's current military strength, it would not be difficult to explore and occupy those islands.
But the problem is that Kroeber's current soft power is insufficient to carry out construction on these islands.
Tools, labor, and officials.
Labor is not a big deal. At worst, we can just buy another batch of slaves. Now it is wartime, and the price of slaves is much cheaper than before.
Tools can also be purchased from Black Feather Island, but Krober also needs to build some workshops in his own territory, mainly to manufacture some stone or bone tools.
What gives Kroeber the most headache is the issue of officials.
Now most of the officials who manage Amethyst Island and Black Feather Island in Krober are selected from the local people of Black Feather Island and members of the Jacaranda family.
It's okay in the short term, but if it goes on for a long time, these officials will inevitably form cliques and corruption will definitely occur.
Although he built the Amethyst Island Primary School, it still takes time to train an official who can do math and read.
What's more, I haven't even built the school itself yet...
Therefore, the best way to deal with these three islands is to explore them first, and then transport all the good things back to Amethyst Island.
In this way, not only can manpower and material resources be saved, but Amethyst Island can also develop and grow faster.
As for the three islands, Kroeber had no plans to move people there.
After all, there is no one to manage them, and they might become rebellious after a while.
Who would want to be a slave forever?
By the way, Krober plans to hold a promotion ceremony in a while, promoting a group of original tribesmen to become leaders, in order to inspire the enthusiasm of the new slaves.
This might speed up the construction of Amethyst Island.
Of course, in this world, there is a good solution to the situation where there is no one to open up new territories.
That is enfeoffment!
The areas of Green Leaf Island and Deserted Island should be similar to that of Black Feather Island, the standard area of a barony.
Krobe could easily allocate one of the small islands to a noble family.
For example, the Jacaranda family.
Logically speaking, this method is more suitable for Krober and is more in line with his current interests.
But Krober just didn't want to do that, especially after seeing the scene at Grand Duchess Veronica's birthday party, Krober became increasingly pessimistic about this system.
But he didn't intend to implement the system of his previous life. He planned to slightly neutralize the two.
But that’s all in the past.
What he has to do now is to organize a fleet and manpower to explore the new island, which is the top priority.
Just as Krober was about to explore the new island, the army led by Grand Duke Veronica arrived at the border city between the Emerald Kingdom and the Orichalcum Kingdom.
City at dusk.
As soon as they entered the city, everyone was caught off guard by the sudden high-intensity battle.
Since the Emerald Kingdom was at a disadvantage on the battlefield, most of the battles were city defenses, with very few field battles.
Since the knights of the Mountain Copper Kingdom could not defeat anyone in the wild, they could only choose to attack the city again and again.
Unfortunately, the people from the Golden Duchy had just entered the city and had not had much time to rest when they faced their first battle on this battlefield.
"The Orichalcum Kingdom's army is coming again! Everyone, get moving! Grab your weapons and take your positions.
Replacement soldiers must pay close attention to the situation on the city wall. If you see anyone seriously injured or unable to fight, bring him down immediately! "
Following the officer's order, the soldiers of the Emerald Kingdom quickly took action, picking up their weapons and rushing up the city walls.
They stood in the fixed positions according to previous training, while the others prepared for battle under the city wall.
However, in stark contrast to the soldiers of the Emerald Kingdom, the people of the Golden Duchy seemed a little panicked.
Perhaps because there has been peace for several decades, some of the young Earth Knights in the team lack experience.
Some people even stood there stupidly, without even drawing their weapons. It was not until their companions reminded them that they suddenly woke up and drew their weapons.
Marquis Frostwolf looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that the Golden Duchy's living environment was too comfortable. Even though there was a Western Expedition every ten years, it was only a battle against monsters, not humans.
