"I will give you a number and create the first and second legions. You will recruit the personnel yourself within the ethnic group. I don't care about the specific number, age and gender, but one principle must be followed: no regular army that is allowed to recruit combat troops."

Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao looked at each other.

There were doubts in my heart, but more were surprises. I thought there was no way out ahead, and whether the throne was deprived or the tribe was annexed, it seemed to be a humiliation in the eyes of Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao. However, reality was better than humans, and the consequences of refusing to accept the stubborn resistance were only a dead end.

Of course, putting aside various interest relationships, both Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao admire Tianhao's ability and political skills alone. Especially in terms of attitudes and practical actions towards the lower class people, Tianhao has never had selfishness, which has become the real reason why the thinking of the two patriarchs of the Crazy Niu and the Ferocious Niu gradually changed, and they were willing to obey orders and even kneeled down on their own initiative.

Ling Xiao felt a new door open in front of him. He walked forward and gently touched the map with his slightly trembling fingertips. He had received higher education from the barbarians and could understand the map.

"...This, is this the southern continent?" Ling Xiao's mind echoed with the words that Tian Hao had said before, and his eyes moved back and forth along the map surface with his fingertips. This land was too big. He saw the Lock Dragon Pass and saw the kingdom boundary located south of the Shenwei Fortress with a distinctive red thick line. Saxon, Rhine, Gorese, Viking, the Kingdom of God... in the middle of all these countries, it is a place exclusive to the Holy Lord, and the sphere of influence of the Holy See.1

The south is too big, and its area is estimated to be equivalent to two norths. Of course, this is bounded by Lock Dragon Pass.

Yuan Meng stood there without moving. In fact, he had seen similar pictures in royal books a long time ago. The map was not complete at that time, and the edges were marked only at Shenwei Fortress, rather than covering the entire continent like now. Despite this, Yuan Meng's focus was not on the map itself, but on the words that Tianhao had said before.

"Your Highness, can we really form an army independently?" Yuan Meng asked seriously.

Tianhao nodded slightly: "You choose the two legions numbers yourself, each legion has a temporary assembly of hundreds of thousands of people."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao turned around in front of the map and asked in confusion: "Temporary editing?"

Tianhao looked at him and did not explain in detail on this issue. He continued: "Everything has both good and bad sides. I will talk about it first. From the date of its establishment, you will not have any official contacts with the Dragon Clan. Simply put, your identities will not be recognized, and there will even be an official statement to list you as rebels or bandits."

Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao looked at each other again. This feeling was not very good. They were both weak in front of Tianhao, but they could not get substantial help from each other.

Tianhao turned a blind eye to all this. He sat upright on a high-back chair, picked up the cup containing hot tea and took a sip, and said lightly: "This is an excuse to evade the white people in the south, especially those guys from the Lord's Kingdom. After all, the truce was made, and they were also allies whom I signed and recognized on the contract."

Although Yuan Meng was old, he was not confused. He almost immediately figured out the key and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, do you mean to harass white people?"

"That's your business, you can fight whatever you want." Tianhao put down the cup in his hand, and there was no slight joking expression on his calm and solemn face: "In a word, as long as you leave the newly designated border south of the Shenwei Fortress, all your actions have nothing to do with the Dragon Clan. You can become the kindest people in the world, or you can become the most cruel and vicious thugs. The Dragon Clan law will not restrict or punish anything you do outside the national border. Of course, the premise of doing this is only if you target the white people."

Ling Xiao's thinking changes very quickly, and he asked seriously: "What can we get?"

"10% of the profit." Tianhao released a majesty that was exclusively inviolable to the king and even more unquestionable: "You can get 10% of all the profits of plunder, and the rest must be handed over. I will arrange for relevant people to keep in touch with you and provide you with necessary help."

Yuan Meng did not hide his thoughts and shook his head: "It's only 10% of it, too little... This is really too little."

Looking at his face full of disappointment, Tianhao snorted disdainfully from his nostrils: "You obviously know nothing about the situation of the white people in the south."

Ling Xiao was young and smart after all. Before Yuan Meng made a resentful refutation, he quickly bowed to Tianhao and bowed: "Please let Your Highness make it clear."

Tianhao looked at him with sharp eyes: "I'll ask you a question first: How many people are there in total in the five kingdoms and the Holy See?"

Ling Xiao was stunned.

Yuan Meng, who still had resentment in his heart, also fell into silence.

"You don't know, so you can't answer." Tianhao said calmly: "Actually, I don't have accurate numbers, because the southern countries and the Holy See seemingly cooperated on the surface, but they are intrigue in private, hiding each other's strength. However, as far as the intelligence collected so far, the total number of white people will not be less than 3 billion, and it may even exceed 4 billion."

Marquis Savedin has completely turned to Tianhao's side. The previous meal subverted his entire logical system. As Tianhao said, "Since even the gods of faith can be betrayed, there is no so-called "loyalty".

He disclosed all the information related to the Kingdom of God. Based on this information, and compared with previous gains from the Intelligence Department, Tianhao finally calculated the number "maybe more than four billion".

"How many people were there in the ferocious bull tribe during its heyday?" Tianhao asked immediately.

Ling Xiao thought about it and said seriously: "About 240,000."

Tianhao turned his gaze to Yuan Meng and sneered: "Tell me about your Mad Bull Tribe, how many people were there when they were the most powerful?"

Yuan Meng was particularly sensitive to numbers. He reacted very quickly and probably understood why Tianhao asked this. Thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he could only answer: "...530,000, there were 530,000 people in the Kuangniu Department."

Tianhao stared at Yuan Meng coldly and raised his hand to point at the other party: "Kneel down!"

The volume was not loud, and it was full of accusations. Yuan Meng was so scared that he trembled all over, and he couldn't help but bend his knees and kneel to the ground like an out of control.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao quickly walked over and stood beside Yuan Meng, and hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, Yuan Meng has no malice, he just..."

"It's not your turn to talk here!" Tianhao's majestic voice resounded throughout the room. His eyes were fixed on Yuan Meng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said sarcastically: "There was a war between the Kuangniu tribe and other tribes. I ask you, how much spoils can you get from a wealthy civilian home?"

Yuan Meng hesitated a little: "This... what should I say... the living people can become slaves, clothes and fabrics can be counted as trophy, and food..."

Tianhao waved his hand in annoyance: "Switch directly to the current common dragon clan silver coins."

This made it much simpler, and Yuan Meng quickly calculated the result: "From the most common family of six, the total value of all spoils is about fifty silver coins."

Living people are valuable, especially stout adult men.

Tianhao asked contemptuously: "Since you became the patriarch, has the Kuangniu tribe ever recorded the breaking of other tribal cities?"

Yuan Meng's cheeks suddenly turned red. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tianhao. Although he was reluctant, he could only answer Ai Ai's answer: "...no."

Tianhao didn't plan to let him go, and continued to ask: "So how many slaves were captured during your tenure as patriarch?"

"Three thousand and eight people." Yuan Meng still remembers this freshly. After all, it was the most worthy record in his life.

"According to the price of five dragon clan silver coins per slave, the profit you get is 15,040 silver coins. Adding to the sum of other spoils, this number can be doubled."

Yuan Meng lowered his head and answered with silence as a positive answer.

Tianhao laughed: "You are a smart person, you should understand why I suddenly asked about this. Forty billion...even if the income is only 10% more than the total wealth that the entire dragon clan currently has."

Yuan Meng raised his head, his face full of shock. He had already thought of the wealth quota problem caused by the huge population gap between the northern barbarians and the southern whites, but he did not expect that the gap was so big.

Ling Xiao was also occupied by complex emotions and shocking thoughts. He couldn't help but blurted out: "Your Highness, is everything you said true?"

"You can verify what I just said through actual combat." Tianhao sneered: "If it weren't for the recent encampment of the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan, it wouldn't be your turn to do this good thing. No matter what, you are in the same tribe as the King. You have made many military achievements and are willing to respect me as the king. I see all this, and your previous efforts will be rewarded."

"This is your opportunity. Each leads a legion to attack south. Although it is just a harassment battle, you can capture your own territory. By that time, I can make you king... the real king."

The last sentence moved Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao. It was impossible to say that they had no complaints about losing power. But under the crushing of Tianhao's absolute power, no one could have the idea of ​​rebellion. However, this time, Tianhao took the initiative to propose that he could be the king again, and the conditions were clearly placed in front of him.

Ling Xiao suppressed his excitement and asked repeatedly: "Your Highness, are you really planning to make us king?"

"It depends on your military achievements, and how much damage you can cause to the white people and how much benefit you will bring to the dragon clan." Tianhao did not conceal his point of view: "I will definitely do this after saying that I am a king. But there is a prerequisite---Your fief can only be south of the Shenwei Fortress, which is the warm area north of the continent's cold area relative to the southern extreme."

Ling Xiao was stunned again, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

This is a very difficult prerequisite. Tianhao clearly won't easily sign himself as king. If he wants to regain the title and fief, he must pay more blood and sweat... But all of this seems worth it in Ling Xiao's opinion.

"Do you think I asked you to go south and die for nothing?" Tianhao understood the meaning of the complex gazes in Ling Xiao's eyes: "You can get the same weapons and equipment as the regular army. I mean guns and grenades, as well as small-caliber artillery. According to the standard of 20,000 people per legion, which is a total of 40,000 troops. You can get these weapons within this week."

Hearing this, Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao both focused their eyes on Tianhao's face. They were surprised that this was indeed good news.

Tianhao smiled faintly: "I have said before that everything has both good and bad sides. This is the benefit I give you, but don't understand it wrong. These weapons are not given for free, they can only be considered temporary loans. You have to exchange for future spoils and benefits."

Ling Xiao now fully understood Tianhao's intention and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, what do you mean is that the arms we need in the future must be purchased to get it?"

Tianhao nodded, he was quite satisfied with Ling Xiao's ability to comprehend: "The price of arms given to you will not be too high, and the quantity can also be negotiated, based on the premise of meeting your needs."

Until now, Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao finally felt that the young Regent had no malice towards him, and were indeed talking about relevant combat plans seriously with him.

The power of the rifle has long been verified on the battlefield. As a fanatical advocate of hot weapons, Ling Xiao has used a number of different types of weapons from the Jeju Island military factory. From the initial development of the mesh gun to the standard rifle of the Dragon Army, he deeply feels the impact and changes of technology on the military.

Whites are the enemy of all barbarians, but it is not as simple as saying that they want to conquer whites. For thousands of years, the northern barbarians rely on the Dragon Lock Pass to defend is the best proof. Moreover, whites have advanced technology, and the combination of match rope guns and cannons is invincible on the battlefield.

This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Meng had been dissatisfied with the "ten percent" war benefits before. In his opinion, the barbarians who used cold weapons could not beat the white people in the south. Although the dragon clan had just won the battle, it did not mean that he had the strength to crush the southern kingdoms in all directions.

It is not so much a predatory harassment war, but rather a death toll.

Tianhao's next words made Yuan Meng and Ling Xiao confirm again that the young Regent was really not hostile to him, and finally gave up the last bit of concern in his heart.

"The Intelligence Department will cooperate with all your military operations and provide the relevant information you need as required. I only have one requirement for you: send troops as soon as possible and never give the white people in the south a chance to breathe."
