I, the yellow-haired noble, hypnotize the beautiful wife from another world

Immigrants from the human countries in the south are a powerful supplement to the northern region, but they are not enough.

Especially the lack of resources.

If you want to quickly expand the Northern Territory, you need an excess of food, enough warm clothing, and of course enough firewood or coal for heating.

If we can’t get this huge amount of materials out, there’s no way we can start developing the Northern Territory.

As for the former, Aslan has already thought of three solutions.

A three-pronged approach of good seeds, fertilizers and pesticides is one.

Using the mechanical technology of the dwarves and gnomes to manufacture and produce new agricultural tools is one.

The last point is a transformation technology that Aslan expects Yelena, Nana, and their subordinate magic research institutes to use.

Aslan hoped to transform these confused, pathetic, useless, and even unpalatable beasts into a slave race that could cultivate the land through biochemical transformation, and then use them as special slaves for the development of the Northern Territory.

Of course, it will also be useful for the future development of the Beast Tide Wasteland.

Of course, whether this grand goal can be achieved remains to be studied. Or if there are other serf races in the world that are easy to feed and willing to work hard, Aslan may be able to give it a try.

For example, kobolds.

Um, yes, kobolds.

The latter resource-intensive industry, to put it simply and crudely, is mining.

There are many explored areas in the North Territory.

Although some people like to compare goblins and kobolds as the two weakest monsters in the world, in Aslan's opinion, kobolds are much better than goblins.

Because they work hard, they love to work, obey authority, and are the best hard slaves in the world - literally.

And although they are called [dog-headed] people, and in some works - such as Warcraft, they do have dog-like heads, but the dog-headed people in the Elan world are actually a kind of creature that looks like a stunted lizard man, like a weak upright lizard.

From this perspective, they are more like the counter race to the Goblins.

Goblin + Orc = Kobold + Troglodyte.

Aslan even suspected that when the dragon gods and the orc gods first created all things in the world, they borrowed from each other's works.

Of course, in Aslan's opinion, the Kobolds are a better and much better work than the Goblins.

In addition to the above-mentioned benefits of obedience to authority, love of labor, and willingness to work hard, the dog-headed people's expertise in mining is also one of the reasons why Aslan likes these guys.

Some people believe that the Kobolds were created to be slaves of dragons. Their morbid worship and obedience to dragons, especially their morbid obedience to the Dragon God, is the most obvious evidence.

The evil dragons admitted this in a boastful manner. The righteous dragons did not comment on this - but it is undeniable that there are indeed many dog-headed people in this world who respect the righteous metal dragon clan. And because of their respect for the metal dragon clan, the color of their scales gradually changed to a color similar to that of their monarch.

Silver-scaled kobolds and gold-scaled kobolds are the two largest subspecies of kobolds that worship the platinum dragon god. As for the other three metal dragons, bronze dragons prefer to recruit merman followers, while chaotic and kind-hearted brass and copper dragons are usually unable to build a follower system centered on themselves.

Whether they are venerating the Platinum Dragon God or the Five-Colored Dragon Queen, the dog-headed people work diligently day after day, digging mines and digging out valuable minerals, especially various gems, as offerings to the Dragon God and taxes to the monarch.

Yes, you can say that dwarves are also a race that is good at mining. And before this, there have been many collaborations between the Frostforge Clan in the North and the Norse Family. Aslan can expand the scale of these collaborations.

But the thing is, you see, now, Aslan has two choices.

One is the arrogant dwarves who have bad tempers, speak harshly, are very xenophobic, and look down on other races. Recently, because of the spread of rune artillery technology and artillery calculus technology, the dwarves have criticized Aslan's crusade.

On the other side, there are the kobolds who speak kindly and nicely, and are obedient enough to authority. And Aslan's Platinum Dragon God blood can bring a huge amount of loyalty to these justice-worshiping metal dragon-type kobolds. At the same time, Aslan has no diplomatic debuff with these kobolds.

In this case, isn't it obvious who to choose?

"Although the dwarves can be used as engineers, skilled workers, and warriors... but, after all, forget it."

Aslan thought to himself, "After using the Silverscale Kobolds for mining on a large scale, my reputation with the dwarves should have dropped again. It will be difficult to recover it by then.

As for mechanical experts and inventors, those dwarves are really good and powerful. If possible, I would like to control those dwarves in my own hands instead of dealing with them through the dwarves. Without the middlemen making a profit, it will definitely be more enjoyable.

But if this happens, the dwarves will definitely be even angrier.

After all this, there is no way we can get along well with the dwarves, so forget it, let those dwarf guards die."

Thinking of this, he made the final decision: "As for the Asian dragon beasts and the lizardmen troops, you can hold off for a while, but as for the silver-scaled kobolds, can you allocate more to me?

As you know, there are a lot of mountains and mineral deposits in the North that can be developed. Kobolds are one of the best miners. We need more Silver Scale Kobolds to dig and develop underground mineral veins."

"oh oh."

Although it was still a bit strange. After all, when it came to mining, the first thing Silver Dragon would think of was dwarves, not kobolds. But since Aslan had made such a request, she had no intention of refusing.

Although silver dragons do not have the same unusual interest in expanding territory as evil dragons, and those dog-headed people are not as chaotic as the chaotic evil camp, their fertility rate is quite amazing.

However, due to good management, welfare benefits, and food supply, the number of metal dragons' followers is not less than that of five-colored dragons, and may even exceed that.

The Silver Dragon Clan's roots are in the North. After all, this is one of the coldest regions in the world. So if everyone can get together and transport a few more kobolds to Aslan, it's no problem at all.

Chapter 32 The Second Round of Enemies of the Crusaders

Just like that, the cooperation with the Silver Dragon Clan was happily finalized.

In addition to the originally agreed two thousand Silver Scaled Gnolls who will come to the Crusader States as immigrants, the Silver Dragon Clan will continue to supply more Gnolls in the future.

For the Silver Dragon clan, this is also something they would welcome.

A sufficient number of kobold immigrants will also increase the Silver Dragon's voice in the Crusader country.

"This way, farming and mining are both possible. We have a basic industry in a short period of time. We can relax a little bit."

Aslan let out a long sigh. Then he hugged the little silver dragon, rubbed it all over, and made the little silver dragon hum and moan. She was so sweet that she even forgot her mother. She only hummed softly: "Brother Aslan~" and then fell into Aslan's arms and acted like a spoiled child.

Just like Lady Elizabeth who got a little carried away last night.

After the Crusader State was basically established, the little silver dragon seemed to regard Aslan's place as his home and refused to leave after settling down.

She didn't leave, and Lady Elizabeth also stayed there as a liaison for Silver Dragon.

Batch after batch of immigrants, through the channels of the southern countries and the trade routes of the Silver Dragon Clan, continued to move towards the New Holy Light Port, pouring in, making this city and the larger rural areas around it change day by day.

The original wilderness turned into villages and wheat fields, the wild beasts were driven away, and monsters like goblins and orcs became less and less in number under the constant killing of the Crusaders.

Immigrants who came from all over the world, speaking different languages, worked diligently and hard with a yearning for a better life in the future.

Under the preferential policy of three years of tax exemption, each person could cultivate 30 mu of land, with women and children allowed half the amount, and pay one-tenth of the tax in kind in the fourth year, large areas of bushes and wilderness were cut down and burned. Swamps were drained, and new fields were reclaimed bit by bit.

Farm implements, tools, axes, hatchets and saws for felling wood were all arranged by the Crusaders. Seeds were all supplied by the Crusaders. The price was fair, only the cost was charged, and credit was accepted...

Aslan would send people to teach even the latest farming techniques and the use of new agricultural tools.

The Agricultural Research Institute and Agricultural Vocational College are also under intensive construction.

I think that in the future, the Crusader States will emerge as a new force and become a country that can develop advanced agriculture in the ice and snow of the northern region, which is unimaginable for ordinary farmers.

And in the mining industry.

Not long after reaching an agreement with Lady Elizabeth, a group of dog-headed men about 1.4 meters tall, with voices that sounded a bit like barking dogs, but very polite and orderly, also appeared near the New Holy Light Port, and were then transported by Aslan to the nearest mine to start work.

Just like the fate of most mines in the North, these veins were explored by the dwarves long ago, and then the most valuable ones were mined first, and the rest were just recorded and waited for later.

Of course, in the end, when the strength of the dwarves was greatly reduced, most of the dwarven mines were forced to close. The remaining dwarves could only huddle in a few dwarven fortresses and tremble. These abandoned dwarven mines became the habitat of various monsters.

Even though most of the infrastructure in these mines is abandoned, their comfort level is still better than that of mines in the wild.

Then, the Crusaders swept through these areas, slaughtering goblins, orcs, and other wild monsters. These mining areas became the assets of the Crusaders.

Various mining equipment, rail mining cars and the like need to be repaired and rebuilt, and with these diligent silver-scaled kobolds, the mining area will gradually resume production...

But it is conceivable that the dwarves will definitely jump out and say, "Our ancestors lived here thousands of years ago, so these mines should belong to us. You evil kb elements have occupied our ancient territory. I advise you to learn your lesson, otherwise I will kill you all."

Too many lice don't bite, too many debts don't worry. In the short man's grudge book, there are already countless things about Aslan, so he doesn't owe this one.

……

Apart from the unhappiness of those short-sighted people, the Crusader State was full of vitality and everything was flourishing. Everyone was grateful for the efforts of the great, righteous, messenger of light and pioneer of the human world, Marshal Aslan, who built a new home for them.

The warm season in the North is very short. From the beginning of the melting of snow in April to the first snow in late autumn in September. The three seasons other than winter only account for half of the year. The remaining half is all winter.

This is still in the south of the Northern Territory.

The further north you go, the shorter the warm season for farming becomes. So the new immigrants cherish this time very much. They work very hard and plant as many crops as possible.

All things are full of vitality, although it has become a funny phrase because of a bald man. But in the summer of 1001, in the south of the Northern Territory, on the vast winter plains, it is real.

Everyone who visits this land will be amazed by the powerful vitality unleashed by human beings.

Although the founding ceremony of the Crusader State has not yet been held, and Aslan has not been officially elected as the commander-in-chief of the Crusaders under the election system, everyone believes that no one except Aslan is qualified.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

However, this does not mean that everyone is willing for the Crusader States to move in a good direction.

In May, the fourth round of negotiations between the Crusaders and the Northern City-State Alliance ended in failure.

On the surface, the failure was due to the huge differences between the two sides - of course, in reality, both sides had already prepared for a fight to the death.

The Northern City-States hoped that the Northern Territory would still be based on commerce, trade, the sale of furs, timber and various equipment, rather than becoming a powerful political entity.

Although everyone knows that it is beneficial for everyone if the North consolidates and establishes a new country.

But in the eyes of the merchants of the Northern Alliance, such benefits are too chaotic and too far away, and are not as easy and enjoyable as earning the difference as middlemen.

At the same time, they were also afraid that when the Northern Territory was unified by one king, they would have to pay high taxes and be controlled by the law. From now on, they would no longer be able to engage in those industries that were criminal but could earn high profits.

For example, human trafficking, or the trade of various contraband items.

In any case, the Northern Territory City-State Alliance did launch an effective mobilization with the slogan of freedom, not being enslaved by tyrants, and the Northern Territory being the Northern Territory’s people.

The Ice Harbor Alliance of Ice Harbor Fjord, the Giant Mountain Alliance with Giant's Foot as its core, the Lead Gray Dwarf Kingdom dominated by mining, the Frozen River Alliance with Winter Solstice Port and Summer Solstice Port as its allies, the most important trade hub of the Frozen River...

Almost all the people in the Northern Territory united under one banner, forming an alliance that looked quite intimidating on the surface, had a large population, and was economically powerful. In June 1001, they submitted a declaration of war to Aslan.

At this point, the second round of conquest by the Northern Crusaders finally began.

Chapter 33: The Navy is the Most Critical

"It's really strange. Obviously, with more people, if we all work together to develop the land, the North Region will become a better place. Why do you refuse?"

In the large conference room of the New Holy Light Port, the little silver dragon Kanna, who was sitting on Aslan's lap, couldn't help but mutter, "But no matter what, Kanna will be with brother Aslan."

"Well, well, so reliable." Aslan smiled and kneaded the flesh on the little silver dragon's face. Then he turned his head and looked at Lady Silver Dragon Elizabeth and other Crusader generals.

After being transformed by Aslan's entry system, the generals who have completely regarded the identity of [Crusader Lord] as their main title - including the Elf Princess Beatrice who came out of Aslan's basement to keep watch in the past two days - all showed excited expressions, as if they would say something like "Let's do it, Kaka!" in the next second.

The generals of the Crusaders, the senior members of the Order Society, and the future members of the Crusaders' cabinet all gathered in the large meeting room of Aslan's residence to discuss the coming war.

Just a few hours ago, Aslan received a declaration of war from the envoy of the Northern Territory City-State Alliance. The two countries have officially entered a state of war.

To be honest, Aslan was impressed by the opponent's efficiency.

The city-states in the Northern Territory were not harmonious and peaceful. On the contrary, they were full of contradictions. For the sake of territory, business, and trade routes, the city-states and city-state alliances would fight each other every few days.

Aslan originally thought that his speed was fast enough, fast enough to allow these city-states to establish the situation before reaching a consensus and forming an alliance.

However, no one expected that these city-states could actually reach a consensus in such a short time.

Is it because the leaders of these city-states all know the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold", have sufficient strategic vision, know how to make choices, and have sufficient political courage? Or is it because there is something, some power, or some person behind the scenes driving all this?

Aslan thought again of the fake Frostthroat Orc Chieftain in the last war.

Could this matter be related to that guy?

Although he was thinking this in his heart, Aslan said calmly on the surface:

“There is no way, there are always people who disregard the greater good of humanity for their own selfish interests.

However, we, the Crusaders, were born to fight against such people.

We are on the righteous side. There is no doubt about that.

We will be the victors, of that there is no doubt."

Aslan said calmly.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, please give the order!"

The Crusader Lord from Lensenor was the most impatient Crusader general.

The generals of the Knightly Kingdoms are usually always impatient and reckless. They are very useful as vanguard officers, but they often fall into ambushes due to their excessive impatience.

After Aslan finished speaking, he could not wait to speak louder:

"The Northern Crusaders are invincible. We can easily destroy any army that is hostile to us! Those pathetic city-state militias are no match for us at all!"

"That's right, that's right. Then the knights of Lenseno can float on the water and fight against the city-state's fleet?" On the other side, the Lotharingian who had always been at odds with Lord Lenseno snorted and said this.

Lotharingia, also a western knight country, has always had conflicts with Lensenor.

For territory, honor, and legitimacy, the two countries have fought at least three large-scale wars in the past hundred years.
