After listening to Paul's explanation, Ryan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have the habit of giving up halfway through doing things, but my patience is not very good!"
"Seven days, I only need seven days!" Paul gave a deadline: "If I cannot contact the shi girl next to the master within 7 days, then I will let you deal with it!"
Ryan didn't say anything, but nodded reservedly, as if he agreed to Paul. The latter bowed deeply to him and turned around and left the room. When only Ryan was left in the whole room, he turned his head and sat opposite him.
Tissilis in the corner of the room said, "I'm wondering why you asked me to give him time to do something useless. In fact, I can protect you directly to the Tissilina Fortress tonight!
”
Tissilis slowly walked to Ryan, sat on a chair, and said in a slightly bitter tone: "Actually, I don't know who those subordinates can trust."
"oh?"
Tissilis sighed and spread a map flat on the table. Ryan and Farath surrounded him and listened to Tissilis slowly explaining: "This is the entire eastern region, but I can
Only one-third of the areas directly ruled, and the other parts are either fiefs of other families, or they are vassal kingdoms, principalities, tribes, and of course, many quite desolate areas are occupied by rebels."
"There are ten huge families in the entire empire, and our royal family is naturally ranked first. When the empire expanded significantly, it once enfeoffed the border land many times, and then let these lords operate on their own, and then laid the foundation for further development.
After the expansion foundation, a new round of offensive will be launched. After a long period of time, although the territory of the empire has become larger and larger, the lords of the ten major families are intertwined. This can of course allow everyone to monitor each other and avoid a certain family.
After a short period of time, he challenged the majesty of the royal family, but it also led to the dispersion of his own power."
"In the entire eastern region, there are 400,000 elite Naga troops, 700,000 ordinary soldiers, and 1.1 million local garrisons. Among these more than 2 million soldiers, I can directly control no more than 600,000, and the real useful one is Ti
The 100,000 elite troops in the Fortress of Cilina, as well as the 60,000 elite troops arranged in the Fortress of Saren in the northeast and a total of 70,000 elite troops stationed in several fortresses in the Narenas region in the south. The empire has no war on the outside now, but Saren
The fortress is responsible for defending the invasion of the barbaric lobsters and Loka fishmen outside the territory, and this army cannot move at all. As for the Narenas area in the south, it is even more a frequent area for rebels to move, and it is not the force of these 70,000 elite soldiers.
Suppress, I am afraid that my territory will be full of war."
"In this case, I can suppress other families and control the entire territory, relying on the 100,000 elite warriors stationed in the Fortress of Ticilina. To ensure that this force absolutely obeys my orders, I promoted four generals.
They commanded some of the military forces separately, and consciously increased their disagreement with each other, so that they did not have to worry about them uniting to oppose me, but now three of these four generals have joined forces to seize my Ocean Goddess Chamber of Commerce...
”
"So you are worried that they will unite and do not help you?" Farath asked, "So you have returned safely, but you are still hiding in the dark, just to see if they will be without you.
What kind of tricks will you do?”
"Yes." Tisilis replied: "If I were alone, then I would definitely return to Tisilina without hesitation. As for the possible traitor among my subordinates and the thoughts of these generals,
I can only keep it in my heart and then talk about it slowly. But now I am back with me, two legendary powerful men, you and Ryan. I can definitely rest assured about safety. Even if these generals are more powerful, we can suppress them with force. After all,
All they commanded were elite soldiers of the empire, deceiving them to sneak attack Paul's caravan. It is okay to seize the Ocean Goddess Chamber of Commerce. If they blatantly asked them to attack me, the lord, I believe they would not have the courage!"
Farath is no stranger to these power struggles. She can be regarded as a well-educated person. In addition, she has been fighting openly and secretly between the imperial capital and Catherine for several years and has long been a politician, so she spoke up.
Asked, "What is your plan?"
"That's how I think. First of all, we can't wait and see what's going on, because I don't have enough time, so we have to..." Tissilis expressed her inner thoughts, and then Farath joined the discussion and Tisilis.
Si thought repeatedly, striving to do every step perfectly, and what Ryan, who was beside him, disliked the most was this aspect, so he walked out of the room with a wry smile.
The place where Ryan and his friends lived was a manor outside Etiresack. Rich people in the city usually bought a piece of land here and then built villas for vacation. With Paul's wealth and status, it was impossible.
The reason why Ryan was able to move in here is because this manor is one of Tissilis' secret residences, from the teleportation array of Sarufin City to multiple routes along the way, and then to Eti
The multiple destinations outside the inner city of Renesas City were arranged in advance by Tissix. Paul did not doubt anything about this. As a member of the concubine Lingcui family, the concubine Lan disguised by Tissix is
There is such a family industry outside Etiresack City, which is naturally reasonable, because just about 500 kilometers southeast of Etiresack City, there are three fiefs of the Feilingcui family in the eastern region.
One of them, Ling'an Xuya Castle.
After leaving the yard, Ryan wandered bored in the open space of the manor. It was already early morning in the underwater world. Ryan came here for a while and gradually learned to feel the temperature of the sea water to judge the time, but because
He was still not used to soaking his whole body in the sea water, so he kept adding waterproof barriers to himself when he was outside. This time he went out to wander around was no exception. Of course, in order to avoid being too ostentatious, Ryan still wore a piece on his body.
A full body of cloak.
This manor is indeed a wealthy residence. The entire manor is actually a flat open space without any reefs, seaweed and other obstacles that block the line of sight. If someone is not good for this place, the wide view can be discovered in advance. Obviously, Ti was originally
Siris has put a lot of thought into this secret stronghold. Ryan looked into the distance, and through the open space and the large amount of seaweed in the wasteland between the two manors, he vaguely saw another few kilometers away.
There seemed to be many people moving in and out of a manor, and it was probably the owner of the manor who came here to take a vacation.
Since it was not up to me, Ryan was too lazy to watch more. He just walked around his own manor. He had hardly left the seahorse for half a month before, which made Ryan suffer a little. He had already
I haven't had such a hard time rushing for many years, especially after becoming a legendary strongman, I want to go anywhere, either with a large group of servants around me, or by directly using teleportation magic and flying techniques to arrive quickly. Of course, I said that
The area of this underwater world is many times larger than that of Ryan's hometown. If you have a seahorse speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour on land, it will only take two days to go from Casano to the imperial capital, but Ryan has been from Tissili
On the map of the eastern region of S, I found that my group worked so hard but just moved a small area. If I wanted to reach the easternmost border of Ticilis, I would probably have to travel two more day and night again.
moon.
"I really don't know how to describe these Naga people's fanaticism about expanding their land. Such a huge territory is just an eastern region. According to Ticilis, there are as many as five administrative regions in the entire empire, and
Tissilis' eastern region can only rank fourth in area, only above the central region." Ryan said to himself in his heart: "If I must learn from it, I admire these people very much.
The addition of people can continue tradition for such a long time. It seems that we humans can't compare with them. Speaking of which, what we humans like to do the most is to destroy tradition, and I seem to have done a lot of things like this.
,Ha ha."
Thinking of the end, Ryan couldn't help laughing, and then he continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back. When he came to a lush seaweed on the border of the manor, Ryan suddenly felt an extremely faint breath hidden in the seaweed.
Deep in the air, this breath was too weak. If Ryan hadn't been strong enough, he would have probably not noticed it at all. He stopped and shouted at the seaweed cluster: "Who is it? Come out!"
The thick seaweed moved, and then a Naga child crawled out from there. The young Naga was a girl who looked very cute. She was wearing a gorgeous dress, but because of the seaweed.
Because of the reason why the outfit became ragged, Naga didn't care about this at all. She stood in Ryan's expression, looked at Ryan with her head tilted and asked a few times.
: "Hey, how can you find me? As long as I hold my breath, even Uncle Wosheng can't find it!"
Seeing that the girl standing in front of him was just a noble girl. Thinking about the busy servants she had seen before, and then looking at the surrounding directions, Ryan probably thought that the little girl in front of him should have stole from the busy manor just now.
I ran out to play. I thought that even if someone really had a strange intention to him, I wouldn't let the girl with this identity be careful, so I didn't take her to heart. He didn't answer the other party's questions and turned around and went back.
Just leave.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, how can you turn around and leave without politeness?" The Naga girl saw that Ryan ignored her, so she chased him and shouted a few words. When she saw Ryan stopping and turning around, she saw him.
After looking at herself, the Naga girl continued, "Is this manor yours? I am from the manor next door, and I will live here during this period. Since we are neighbors, why don't we get to know each other first.
”
Ryan looked up and down at the Naga girl standing in front of her and saw that although she was young and her clothes were ragged, she had an elegant temperament between her eyebrows. Obviously, her origin was
It is definitely not an ordinary aristocratic family, I am afraid it is still a big family with a long history. Ryan believes that without such years of accumulation and influence, it is impossible to develop this temperament. If it were a different time, Ryan would not mind and
This kind of great nobleman has more contact, but unfortunately he doesn't want to have more relationships now, so Ryan said, "As a nobleman, is it impolite to say that you don't know that it's impolite to enter someone else's manor without suing him?" n@.
