Therefore, using trade means and wielding the economic stick to sanction other countries, although such cute means were not very common in ancient society. But it cannot be said that there is no one. Of course, this too advanced strategic consensus is a little too profound for the local bullies with a head full of rice ears. In fact, Egil himself does not understand this kind of thing very well. Just like his attributes are accepted, those messy knowledge is only useful occasionally. Most of the time it is just occupying the memory of the brain.

"Salt and iron... specialized?" After hearing such a new term, Artoria looked at Egil with a little strangeness: "What does that mean? Is it Danish?"

Because Egil had at least exchanged for a high-level English proficiency. There would be no difference in daily communication with Artoria. There would be no Danish in it, which makes people unable to understand. However, when facing this new noun, Artoria couldn't understand it, so she subconsciously thought of Danish.

"...Is this difficult to understand?" Egil was a little speechless.

Shake your head.

"Okay, okay, it's actually very simple." His wife is a militarist who advocates force. Egil has known this for a long time. After marrying Artoria, Egil's spouse in his personal attribute column also had an answer. Artoria added him to him quite good attributes: ruling +1, cruelty +1, prestige +2, Celtic loyalty +2, public support +10%

At the same time, Artoria also has a very powerful passive skill: God chooses the Lord of Britain. It can have both cruelty and virtue attributes. The two do not offset each other, but calculate separately. In this way, you can not only strive to improve your army, but also deter local army and reduce morale. It can be said to be a skill of a bunker. In addition, Artoria's death and tyrannical skill can greatly improve your army's morale in a short period of time, and make your army not collapse no matter how casualties you suffer (At that time, Artoria released this skill, allowing the Celtic army to stand up under the Norwegian knights' back).

Artoria's attributes are as follows: ruling: 5, cruelty, 12, virtue, 7, loyalty, ---- (unlimited loyalty between husband and wife), piety, 4.

Except for the piety that needs to be improved and the rule is slightly lower, everything else is good. In terms of rule, Artoria also has attribute bonuses such as Longbow Commander + 1 Range Army Commander, Excellent Cavalry General + 2 Cavalry Commander, which further improves her ability. Egil looked at the system and wanted to exchange for a general of such a bunker, and he would definitely not be able to get it without 300,000 points. After that, Egil was moved and burst into tears, hugging Artoria and crying: "It's great to marry such a good wife." Artoria was inexplicably moved.

"The so-called salt and iron franchise refers to the monopoly operation of salt and iron. From then on, in the country, except for the government, that is, we, no one else, nobility, merchant, official, etc., can only sell salt and iron. It can only be sold by the government, that is, we. Others can only buy salt and iron from the government, that is, we. Buy from others, it is illegal. That's it."

"...It sounds like you will make money." Artoria nodded and said, "But, are you sure you want to do this? There are some nobles who have a territory that are near the sea, and they can also sell salt. Doing this is equivalent to snatching a large piece of meat from their mouths. Iron tools are even more of a life-threatening things. No matter which noble family of them is, they will not want to hand over this right."

"Indeed, so I want to suspend this decree. I will proceed until Scotland is defeated and there are no enemies outside." Egil nodded and said.

"But even if you touch their interests, the nobles will still rebel." Artoria said.

"It doesn't matter what that kind of thing happens." Egil said: "As long as they still have the power to rebel, then my laws are loose, they will be regarded as cowardly and incompetent by them, and then they will be regarded as violent and greedy. My laws are strict, and they will be regarded as violent and greedy, and then they will be regarded as mediocre. - No matter what I do, as long as they have the capital to rebel, they will be, they will be," Egil continued to say his plausible reason: "So, instead of stopping the boiling, it is better to remove the fire from the cauldron - we cannot stop their rebellious hearts, and just take out their hearts."

Artoria's ability to govern the country is basically less than or equal to 9. Even Egil's fallacy sounds very good, especially the theory that "nobles will rebel no matter what" makes Artoria feel even more worried. After all, Artoria's nobles under Artoria seem to be like this, often rebelling. As a 9, Artoria does not understand why they rebel. And now, Egil finally told her: No matter what you do, they will rebel. So don't think that you are wrong, it's not you who are wrong, but the world who is wrong. In this way, Artoria feels very at ease.

Egil looked at Artoria very seriously and nodded while listening, and continued to think in his heart that it would be great to marry a more silly wife.

Although Egil said it well, it seemed quite similar to the same thing - but it was not the case in fact. The real reason is that Egil was very greedy and shameless, and wanted the territories that the nobles had passed on for generations and the wealth they had accumulated - if there was no reason to send troops to destroy them and confiscate their territory, then the impact of such behavior would be too bad. The blow to Egil's fame was a little bigger (System Elves, do you really care about your fame? Your fame has long been negative?). Therefore, you should use severe punishment (in the eyes of the nobles) to force them to rebel, and then crush them and swallow them. That's fine.

By the way, is this really okay?

So, let’s not talk about why Egil was trying to harm the British nobles under his command for the time being. A few days later, the dwarf King Wald, who was doing nothing on the front line, received such an unexpected gift.

The elf murderer who killed the former Dwarf King, Caddis, who was originally the mercenary leader among the Celtics, had his dry head.

"Okay, you can go home." Seeing this thing, Wald sighed and then sighed like this.

That's right, no matter what Egil thought. But the hardworking and simple dwarves spent more than half a year mobilizing 30,000 troops across the sea to the British Isles. In the final analysis, it was neither for land nor for wealth, but for revenge. Now, the two enemies of the dwarves, Alfred, the former king of England, and the elf mercenary Caddis, died one after another. The dwarves had no reason to stay here.

Recalling the past six months, all kinds of tragic battles, and nearly 20,000 brothers who were buried in the foreign land, Wald couldn't help but burst into tears. The dwarf king, who was originally as tough as steel, was sad at this time as a wandering poet. However, he was not the only one - all the dwarf soldiers under his command were also surprised after hearing this news. Almost all the dwarf soldiers who followed Wald to the British continent were crying with joy.

I really don’t want to continue fighting anymore. There is no need for such a completely meaningless war.

After solving the last concerns, the exhausted dwarves all returned home and couldn't wait to go back to the Scandinavian Mountains, the cute snow-covered home.

In this way, Egil miscalculated.

The dwarf soldiers directly occupied the big head in the coalition at the beginning, and were the strongest force Egil relied on. Even after the Battle of the Thames, the dwarf army suffered heavy losses, and the proportion of Norwegian troops increased, the dwarf soldiers still occupy an important position. More than 10,000 dwarf soldiers on the entire British continent served under Egil. These professional soldiers of the alien race were highly motivated and extremely brave. More importantly, they did not have to spend a penny of military pay. Egil would wake up laughing whenever he fell asleep. It was really a big deal to take advantage of himself.

After that, Egil used his power as the commander of the coalition army to embezzle the commander of the dwarf army bit by bit, and made certain progress. Egil believed that in time, these dwarf army would change the object of his loyalty and become a powerful iron army under his command. He helped the dwarves to revenge, so as to please these powerful warriors, make them grateful to themselves, and even loyal to them. This was Egil's wishful thinking.

However, as mentioned before, Egil miscalculated.

After learning that the dwarf soldiers on the front line were about to leave - even on General Carter's fleet to carry out a mission - that is, to attack the coastal areas in northern Scotland, so when they could not come back, they could not wait to rent other civilian ships back. After such news, Egil was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Artoria saw that everything was under control of her family, and her husband was so arrogant that she turned into this. She curiously brought the Feige letter sent by the spy and read it. Then she couldn't help laughing.
