"Those who do not provide troops, money and food shall not be granted fiefdoms, and those who do not make military achievements shall not be given an inch of land in the Northern Territory. Anyone who violates this oath shall be killed by both humans and gods!"

After the oath was sworn, the generals felt as if a pair of wonderful eyes were looking at them. A solemn and elegant voice said calmly: "I heard it. This is feasible."

The generals looked at each other, then at Archbishop Maria, and saw the Archbishop nod slightly, then hold the cross with both hands and pray devoutly. Only then did they believe that it was the Goddess of Light who had come in person to swear to guarantee the generals.

The generals were surprised and a little uneasy at the same time. Until the commander Aslan said loudly:

"Okay, with the goddess supervising our oath, we will not break it. With unity, we can accomplish our great cause!"

These words dispelled the anxiety and selfishness in the hearts of the generals. They stepped forward and drew their swords together with Aslan. The swords touched each other, making a crisp metallic sound, and they repeated Aslan's words:

"With unity, great things can be accomplished!!!"

After saying this, the Crusaders felt that they had become closer to each other.

At this moment, they had finally transformed from a ragtag group of people sent by various forces, including excluded second sons, landless knights and low-ranking nobles, into a unified, real military organization.

Chapter 12: One of Aslan's little techniques for controlling the North and even the world

In the following months, the actions of the Northern Crusaders can be described as aggressive as fire and swift as thunder and lightning.

Those orc tribes that were organized and rebelled on a large scale, hoping to have a head-on battle with Aslan, as well as a few stronger but smaller snow ogre troops, were all wiped out by the Crusaders.

In addition to these large-scale battles, there were countless small-scale raids and massacres.

With the help of powerful magic and the prophecy of the Holy See of the Goddess of Light, even the best-hidden monster lairs will be found and slaughtered mercilessly.

In this massacre and conquest, tens of thousands of goblins, orcs and ogres were killed and their nests were burned to the ground.

Of course, at the same time, for those villages composed of strong northern barbarians and immigrants from the southern human civilization world who settled in the northern region, although Aslan ordered them to be treated well and not to be killed, some crusaders and bandits under the banner of the crusades still plundered and massacred these human villages.

The reason is obvious. Compared with the poor monsters, these human villages are also poor compared to the humans in the south, but at least they can squeeze out some oil and water.

Although the Norse family and the nobles from various countries provided sufficient supplies for their own face and to gain benefits, just having enough food and drink could not satisfy the Crusaders who wanted to make a fortune on the battlefield.

Aslan was somewhat distressed by this.

But of course, these acts of plunder were nothing compared to the city-states that remained hostile to the Crusaders.

These guys, who had deep cooperation with the Frost Giants and Lead Dwarves of the North, adopted two strategies in the face of the aggressive Crusaders.

On the one hand, they sent envoys to [New Holy Light Port], the port city named New Holy Light Port when the Crusaders first landed, where Aslan was, declaring their willingness to cooperate with the Crusaders, hoping that the Crusaders would respect their interests and not infringe on their land.

On the other hand, these city-states also began to secretly connect with each other, hoping to form an alliance to fight against the Crusaders.

What Aslan could not tolerate even more was that these guys sent envoys to the Giant Mountains. Their purpose was obvious.

When the news came out, the Crusaders were outraged and one by one they shouted for the profiteers to die.

Aslan responded:

"After dealing with those orcs and goblins, the next step is to kill them."

Thus, the Crusaders' military campaign continued, and in April, it was declared a victory.

After more than three months of continuous fighting, almost all the orcs, goblins and bandit groups in the vast snowfields and grasslands south of the Winter Plains were slaughtered by the Crusaders.

Only a very small number of sharp-eyed bandit groups chose to surrender to the Crusaders, and then became part of the Crusaders as vassal armies and atonement camps.

Nearly 1000 heads not only brought Aslan destiny points, but also established the Crusaders' great reputation.

Under such circumstances, many small towns, settlements and villages chose to surrender to the Crusaders. They sent village elders or prominent figures to come to [New Holy Light Port] to meet with the Crusaders' General Aslan, and announced that they would become part of the [Northern Crusaders' Asylum Territory], providing food, taxes and manpower to the Crusaders in exchange for the Crusaders' asylum.

With the help of these locals, the number of immigrants from the Golden Eagle Empire and other parts of the human world began to slowly increase.

Boatload after boatload of self-cultivating farmers who failed in land annexation and became refugees, as well as others who had committed crimes in their hometowns and could not make a living, or those who were born with a love of adventure, began to move towards the North.

The only thing that worries people is still the food problem. However, Aslan has announced that the joint research team of Yelena and Nana has overcome the threshold of super cold-resistant crops. Although it is impossible to provide seeds on a large scale this year, it will definitely be possible next year.

Oh, yes, of course there is a small problem.

That is, these extremely cold-resistant crops, which Aslan called "rye", must be specially bred. If they are not specially bred and are planted directly, they will degenerate in the second year, and the yield will be reduced to an unbearable level in the third year.

In this case, everyone has to import rye seeds from Aslan's agricultural company every year.

These rye seeds, and of course, other wheat, barley, and oat seeds in the future, will all be grown in the fertile and vast breeding base of the Three Dukes of Norse, which is under Aslan's complete control.

——Of course, the price of this rye seed is not expensive, even the poorest farmers can afford it. If it is combined with the two magical tools called [fertilizer] and [pesticide] produced by [Aslan United Agricultural Company], the grain yield can reach a level that farmers would smile in their dreams.

Of course, if the price of grain is low and farmers suffer, Aslan's United Agricultural Company will also set a minimum purchase price for agricultural products.

……

"In this way, by monopolizing the export of seeds, grain pricing, pesticides, and fertilizers, we can completely control agriculture in the Northern Territory."

Beside Aslan, a dark elf maid smiled and said to Aslan: "In this situation, if they make us unhappy, their territory will be full of starving people in a minute, and the hungry peasants will ruthlessly overthrow the rule of the lords.

If they want to preserve their territory and wealth, they must submit to us. It's really powerful.

We don't even need to send out a single soldier. We can even hand over all the land in the North to other Crusaders. We can still use this method to achieve complete control over the Crusaders.

Moreover, it is not just the Crusaders. With the promotion and expansion of the seed plan, all countries that use our high-yield crop seeds will be under our control. Master Aslan can become the uncrowned king of the world. The existence of the goddess of agriculture is not worthy of being compared with the master. Master, you are so bad. I like you so much. "

As expected of a dark elf, she is gifted in this area. Aslan only mentioned it briefly, and then Eliza started to associate and draw inferences from one thing to another, and actually told Aslan's entire plan in one breath. Aslan secretly admired it. He didn't see it before, but now it seems that Eliza has a talent for being a dog-headed military strategist.

"But will it really be so smooth? What if someone doesn't use our seeds and agricultural products?" On the other side of Aslan, another head maid, Roberia, asked with a frown.

When doing bad things like this, it is indeed their own people, the maids, who are the most reliable - of course, because Sister Ellie is a kind-hearted and gentle girl, Aslan did not bring her to the meeting.

"That's fine." Beside Aslan, Eliza still looked relaxed and replied, "The population of the partners who use our seeds, fertilizers and pesticides will definitely increase significantly.

In this era, more population means more soldiers and more taxes.

As the population, military strength and taxation increase, his ambitions will naturally increase.

In this way, if they don’t want to be swallowed up and bullied by their neighbors, they will have to use our high-quality and low-cost seeds and fertilizers. ” Eliza said proudly:

"Either beheaded or kneel down and become a dog. There is no third choice."

"Then there is another possibility," Roberia said. "What if someone cracks our technology and starts producing these improved seeds, fertilizers and pesticides on their own?"

This time, it was Aslan, not Eliza, who answered the question directly.

Aslan: "What I hate most is people who don't respect patented technology. People who don't respect patented technology don't deserve to live in this world."

Chapter 13: Aslan killed the ladies

Fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides.

These three basic products that are essential to modern agriculture are the results of Nana and Yelena’s research in recent months.

It was one of Aslan's fun little gifts for the world.

His plan to control the world through seeds by replicating the Earth scene is currently unknown to anyone, but it has given the Crusaders some reassurance.

Another one, of course, is fairness and justice in the distribution of territory.

The first phase of the battle ended, and a total of four territories, the first, second, third, and fourth, were fairly distributed to the Crusader generals by Aslan in the manner agreed upon previously.

What made the Crusaders so grateful was that Aslan could have taken all the credit for the victory.

The combat effectiveness of the Morris phalanx under his command and the Crusader Knights provided by the Golden Eagle Empire are obvious to all. If he wants, he can just send these direct troops to fight, seize the largest share of military merit, and legitimately bring the most territory under his command.

Although no one was quite clear about the Golden Eagle Empire's distribution method, the Crusaders thought that Aslan was just like them and wanted to hold the bulk of the acquired land in his own hands.

But Aslan was willing to give them a chance, allowing them to go to the battlefield to earn military merits and obtain land legitimately.

The current land distribution is actually 40% to 60%. The Golden Eagle Empire occupies about 40%, and the Crusaders of the other four countries take the other 60%.

This number made the Crusader generals of the other four countries very satisfied.

Moreover, Iberval was the first to be eliminated in this distribution. Apart from the first tenth of the territory, Iberval did not get any land afterwards.

At least until the Kingdom of Iberval sends new troops and a new commander here, they will have no chance to gain more territory.

This made many elves feel dissatisfied, but they could do nothing about it.

They wanted to seek justice from Her Royal Highness the Princess, believing that the elves could not be absent from this war. This would not only save face but also gain practical benefits. The Moon Elves had never suffered such a big loss before.

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked them to be patient - this was also what Aslan meant.

After 15 days of training in the dungeon, which was actually more than ten years, the elf princess Beatrice had completely transformed into Aslan's shape. Her personality was completely reshaped by Aslan.

Although she still maintained her dignity and composure on the surface, as if she had awakened because of this tragic defeat, in fact, her inner self had been completely replaced by the stuffing called [Aslan]. She had completely become Aslan's flannel ball and lance sheath. She regarded Aslan as everything to her, and the happiest thing every day was to wear a sexy maid outfit and serve Aslan.

As for Iberval, the Moon Elf Royal Family, the glory of the elves, etc., all of that is a thing of the past. Princess Beatrice is not someone who likes to reminisce about the past.

After all, those things couldn't make her smile happily, but Aslan could.

……

"You don't have to worry too much. I have already discussed this with His Highness Aslan."

Looking at the elven knights in front of her who looked like effeminate men and women, Her Royal Highness secretly despised them in her heart, but she also explained the situation to them:

"When we enter the Nightmare Forest to fight, that's when the elves will show their prowess. We are great warriors who are best suited to fighting in forest areas."

Although Moon Elves are not Forest Elves and their special attack in forest combat is not particularly high, they are still much better than humans. When exterminating various monsters such as Green Orcs, Forest Goblins, Gnolls, and Forest Trolls, it is better to use elite troops composed of Elf Rangers.

Arrange the elves in the territory of Nightmare Forest, and then use Beatrice's relationship to control the vast northern primeval forest. This is Aslan's plan.

"Don't worry, the relationship between Iberval and the Northern Crusaders remains unbreakable, just like the relationship between me and Lord Aslan."

Hearing what Her Royal Highness said, the surrounding elven knights looked at each other, but they had no objection. However, at the same time, they also noticed something wrong - Her Royal Highness seemed a little too intimate and ambiguous when talking about "that human". Sure enough, when Her Royal Highness was the weakest and needed help the most, Aslan took advantage of the opportunity and won the heart of the princess?

The knights were a little disappointed. But if it was Aslan, it seemed acceptable. After all, even they couldn't help but feel a little excited when they saw Aslan...

……

In this way, Iberval, the only one who suffered a loss in this round of distribution, was also appeased by Aslan.

More than three months after the Crusaders landed in the North, the situation was not just slightly good, moderately good, but extremely good. It couldn't be better. Aslan's name resounded throughout the world again. But this time he was not in the image of a promising young genius, but in the image of a powerful warlord and a rising power.

The vast territory controlled by the Northern Crusaders, plus the three duchies of Norse that he actually controlled, was no smaller than the size of some kingdoms.

More importantly, this strong upward momentum has not been interrupted and continues.

Many people are very optimistic about Aslan because of this.

The legendary story about Aslan has become the most popular story for many bards to make a living and is the traffic code for the new millennium.

At the same time, the world's most beautiful boy also debuted with his good looks and became the dream lover of thousands of girls. The magic portrait of Aslan was once again sold out, becoming a magical weapon for thousands of girls and ladies to comfort themselves at midnight. At the same time, Aslan also became the hottest topic when noble ladies opened salons.

Looking at the magic portrait of Aslan happily, talking about the great achievements of the Crusaders in expanding the territory in the North, and then implicitly and devoutly expressing that "she is willing to do anything for the great and handsome Marshal Aslan", this will not get her the evaluation of "bitch" at all, but will get rave reviews instead.

At least on the surface, it was well received.

As for her good sisters, what they were saying in their hearts was, "Bitch, you look like a slut. Commander Aslan doesn't even like you. Only I can satisfy and comfort the handsome and great Commander Aslan. I can use my tenderness and body to comfort his body and mind that are tired from the war and career."

After the behavior of chasing stars and liking young handsome boys is covered with a cloak of justice, everyone's rich imagination for judo comes in handy, and they will not be ridiculed or laughed at. It's really great.

Everyone was very happy about this, and they were looking forward to General Aslan's triumphant return from the Northern Territory to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, so that everyone could go and comfort him.

"cough."

At this time, when the beautiful women were talking excitedly, a light cough came from the main seat, indicating the dissatisfaction of the owner of the voice.

After hearing this voice, the ladies dared not speak any more and looked at the peerless beauty sitting in the main seat with respect.

Her Majesty the Queen looked around at these old bitches in heat who were constantly emitting female hormones, and couldn't help but snort secretly.

Yes, the enthusiasm for discussing Aslan and the Northern Crusaders has spread from the small circle of ordinary ladies to the highest-level royal salon hosted by Her Majesty the Queen. And the heat and enthusiasm of the discussion have not decreased at all because of the high-class ladies participating in this salon.

It seems that Aslan has literally killed off the entire noblewoman culture.

At the same time, what the Queen didn't know was that not only the Golden Eagle Empire, but the entire human civilization circle, and even the kingdom of the Moon Elves outside the circle, were also killed by Aslan. All the ladies couldn't help but smile happily at Aslan's magic portrait, and one or two of them imagined that Aslan could literally beat them.

"Look at the way you look, what are you talking about?"

The Queen was furious when she thought of this: "You are the most noble women in the empire, but I don't see any noble qualities in you at all!

All I saw was a bunch of bitches in heat, oblivious to everything, acting like animals!

Go home and reflect on yourself!"

"Yes……"

The ladies were extremely ashamed after being scolded by the Queen, and they lowered their heads one by one and then turned around and left.

However, if they turned around and looked at Her Majesty the Queen at this moment, they would protest loudly, claiming that Her Majesty the Queen was going too far and was too hypocritical.

Don't let them enjoy Aslan. I looked at Aslan's magic portrait and showed a sow-like virtue, which was a shame to the ancestors of the Golden Eagle Empire.

Chapter 14: Her Majesty's Concern about Aslan

“You shouldn’t put too much emotion into anything.”

Just as Her Majesty the Queen was looking at Aslan in the magic portrait with obsession and resentment, a voice suddenly appeared beside her, which frightened the Queen.
