Chapter 250 Leon took a big job!
Count Felden's explanation gave Leon the most intuitive understanding of the succession struggle within the Kingdom of Idrit for the first time, and he also became more deeply aware of the huge changes in his identity and status.
After all...
just two years ago, he was just an ordinary border noble in the Kingdom of Andal.
Not to mention the Idrit Kingdom, even the succession struggle in the Kingdom of Andal has little say, and it is not his turn to take sides.
And now...
Although Leon deliberately weakens his sense of existence.
But Norton's magical strokes on the battlefield allowed the combat effectiveness of the Antolian army to reverberate throughout the kingdom and even the entire northern continent without any surprise.
So at this moment, Prince Mendez of the Kingdom of Iderit threw an olive branch to him.
But what makes Leon feel a little fortunate is that although the nobles of this era have countless transactions secretly, the political wisdom of the nobles of this era cannot be compared with that of a mysterious ancient country on Blue Star.
For example, in the Kingdom of Iderit, the so-called inheritance struggle is actually not complicated, it is just a matter of swaying people.
Although nominally refers to the system of appointment.
But in reality, whoever can recruit more helpers after the death of the old king is more likely to ascend to the throne.
Mendez's request is also quite simple, that is, he hopes to obtain a mercenary force from the Jimena family, who can march in when he needs it to help him stabilize the throne or seize the throne.
"Securing the throne and fighting for the throne have completely different prices."
After listening to Count Felden's story, Leon immediately grasped the key point.
You know, the mercenaries of Antolia have not received such a big job for a long time!
Although Antolia's army cannot directly participate, who says that Antolia's mercenaries cannot participate?
What's more...
whether it's about profit or not, it's secondary. The main thing is that I can't watch the throne of the Kingdom of Idrit slip away from the hands of my good brother-that prince named so-and-so!
Especially after incorporating the land on the south bank of the Meyerson River into the territory of the Jimena family, the Kingdom of Idrit has actually become a friendly neighbor of Antolia.
If we can establish a good relationship with the future king of the Kingdom of Idliat, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the Jimena family and the Antolian people!
Not to mention anything else, even if we just focus on foreign trade, we can double the scope of target customers!
After hearing Leon's words, Feilden's face suddenly glowed with joy.
I’m not afraid that Leon will offer a high price, but I’m afraid that Leon won’t offer a price!
This was Mendes' personal advice to Count Felden before his visit.
If he could really control the throne in his own hands, what kind of price would Mendes not be able to afford?
As long as it's not something like ceding territory that would arouse the anger of the nobles, Mendes has an extraordinary ability to withstand Leon's price!
And the more capable the Antolians are, the higher Prince Mendez’s endurance will be!
"Please tell me, Lord Marquis, as long as you can afford it, His Highness Mendez will do his best to meet your request!" Earl Felden assured.
Hearing this, Leon didn't know where to start.
Helping Prince Mendez is not just for the price that Prince Idrit can offer, but Leon is more concerned about the long-term benefits that he can bring to Antoria after he succeeds in taking power.
However, long-term interests belong to long-term interests, and a deposit is always required.
If the price was to be made now...
He had just given him a monster egg. If this required the lion to open his mouth, Leon would be somewhat reluctant to let it go.
Asking for food?
Although at this moment, Antolia's food supply is a little tight.
But there is no doubt that with the development of the abandoned land and the improvement of the soil on the south bank of the Meyerson River, Antolia's food is bound to see another surge next year.
Ask for population?
Although Leon also wants population. But what Leon knows better is that the meal must be eaten one bite at a time and the steps must be taken step by step.
Antolia has just obtained hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war and refugees from the previous Norton War. Not to mention that it is unrealistic for Prince Mendez to traffic people in Antolia. At this time, the Jimena family There is really no room left to accommodate more refugees.
In this case...
After pondering for a long time, Leon finally said:
"I heard that the shipbuilding technology of the Kingdom of Idrit is second to none in the Northern Continent?"
"Your Majesty, the Marquis, wants to build a ship?"
Count Feilden's face said. He couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity first.
After all, in this era, the nobles really didn't pay much attention to the ocean.
Even if the Kingdom of Iderit is far ahead in shipbuilding technology, its original purpose is just to catch more fish, which is inseparable from the geographical location of the Kingdom of Iderit on the west side of the northern continent.
Therefore, Earl Felden did not expect that the price offered by the Marquis turned out to be the shipbuilding technology of the Idrit Kingdom.
"Should the survivors of the restoration of the country come from overseas?" Leon asked rhetorically.
"What do you mean..."
After hearing this, Feilden couldn't help but show a little hesitation on his face.
"The remnants of the restoration of the country came from overseas. They not only caused a large number of civilian casualties in Port Idar, but also caused a lot of chaos in the land south of the Meyerson River." "You know, the Antolians will definitely have a grudge
. Report!"
Leon said decisively.
Of course.
The reason why Leon wanted to build a ship was entirely because his experience in his previous life made him understand the wealth contained in the ocean.
But thinking about it, some words cannot be said clearly.
In the south there are abandoned lands full of alien races, and in the west there are isolated overseas islands where the remnants of the restored nation reside.
Only if the nobles around Antolia believe that Leon has experienced being involved in these two forces and have shifted their attention, will they relax their vigilance towards Antolia's strong military power.
"If you need it, your conditions are completely acceptable to His Highness Mendez."
Count Felden gave the answer without hesitation.
As for the rest...
"Is His Highness Mendes still well off?"
Leon asked curiously after receiving Count Felden's assurance.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis, needs gold coins?"
"Warcraft eggs and shipbuilding technology are the price of sending troops to Antolia. As for the gold coins and the amount of gold coins required, it depends on whether His Highness Mendes needs to stabilize the throne or to recruit mercenaries in Antolia. Let’s fight for the throne with help.”
Leon said with a chuckle.
