Chapter 256 The Possibility of Establishing an Independent Nation

"You plan to let Krober establish a country overseas? Please, we both know that there are very few islands in the Azure Sea, and there are also sea tribes entrenched there. How can you let Krober establish a country alone?"

Bellon asked in surprise when he heard Alvis's plan.

The dragon knights all know what the Azure Sea is like.

After all, the territories of various countries have been saturated over the years, and in order to expand, they have also set their sights on the Azure Sea.

But there are still sea tribes living on the Azure Sea. Although they are weak, they are not something that one or two kingdoms can take over.

And even if they can win, the shipbuilding technology cannot support the humans of the major kingdoms to conduct ocean exploration.

You can't throw all the tasks to the dragon head, right?

Transporting people, resources, food, searching for islands, etc....

With the pride of the dragon, I'm afraid it will turn against you on the spot.

"There is nothing we can do about it. After Clober tamed the Tin Dragon, the Golden Duchy automatically accepted the remaining part of the Moi Forest and the wasteland to the west.

So strictly speaking, the area of ​​the Golden Duchy has exceeded the limit of the Grand Duchy level."

The territory of an ordinary duchy is about 10,000 to 15,000 square kilometers, and the limit is to be able to accommodate three marquisates.

Even if this kind of country is independent, it is just an ordinary duchy, such as the Blue Copper Duchy.

The Golden Duchy is a higher level than the Blue Copper Duchy.

Its land area can reach 20,000 to 30,000 square kilometers.

Now that Veronica has accepted the territory of the Tin Dragon, the area of ​​the Golden Duchy has exceeded 30,000 square kilometers, so Alvis is considering letting Clober go overseas to establish a country.

30,000 square kilometers, this is a limit, and the land area of ​​the Grand Duchy level must not be larger than this.

If it exceeds, it is equivalent to showing your ambition to become a kingdom.

At that time, you'd better pray that you really have a high-level dragon and a high-level dragon knight in your hand, and have the qualifications to be promoted to a kingdom.

Otherwise, it may end up being a country destroyed.

In history, there are countless countries that have been destroyed. Although they are all principalities, there are also powerful principalities with two or three dragon knights and several dragons.

Even if the Golden Grand Duchy includes the silver dragon Dina that he sent, there are only three dragons.

So no action should be taken on the surface.

Belron nodded. As the ruler of a country, this method is also a conventional means, so he can naturally understand the deep meaning.

"But if you build a country on the sea, you have to consider the sea people."

Alvis sneered.

"Hmph, the Sea Clan? Are those losers qualified to negotiate with me?"

"That's not the case. Even though the Sea Clan lost the battle for hegemony in the ancient times, they still have a certain strength. Otherwise, you and I would have taken the dragon knight team to rob their treasure house."

Bellon took a sip of red wine, and the sweet and mellow taste of summer red made him frown slightly.

Obviously, this famous red wine is not to his taste.

For him, strong liquor with a higher degree is his favorite.

That kind of hot burning feeling is a pleasant feeling that other wines cannot give.

In this regard, he and Harold, the Lord of Copper in the Mountain Copper Kingdom have the same hobby.

They all like strong liquor or beer, and red wine is more like something for girls to drink.

Alvis nodded. It naturally knew the approximate strength of the Sea Clan, which was not something that Krober, a white tin dragon knight, could beat.

But he did not intend to let Krober fight the entire Sea Clan alone.

"I have discussed this with the two of them. In the eastern part of the Emerald Kingdom, except for those islands with owners, I have authorized Krober to explore as much as he wants. The islands he discovers will become his territory and part of his duchy."

Bellon poured a glass of beer from the wine pot beside him. The sharp and refreshing taste made his eyes light up.

"Speaking of which, didn't the sea tribe divide the Azure Sea into six parts? Krober's duchy only occupies two parts, and the land area should not meet the requirements of the dukedom, right?"

The minimum area requirement for a dukedom is 10,000 square kilometers.

And Krober's current territory area is 2,800 square kilometers.

According to the same area replacement, Krober, who occupies one-third of the Azure Sea, has a land area of ​​only 5,600 square kilometers, which barely reaches more than half of the dukedom.

But if the ocean area is counted, the total area of ​​Krober's duchy has reached an astonishing area.

It is almost the same as the land area of ​​the Emerald Kingdom.

So it's almost enough. After all, resources are shared, and he can't treat his brother-in-law unfairly.

He doesn't have to pay tribute. The resources that the two dragons give him every year are enough for him to make a fortune.

Damn it!

He even lost a silver dragon!

Thinking of this, Alvis suddenly felt that the summer red in his hand was not fragrant.

Not only did he lose his dragon in a dragon riding ceremony, but he also had to apologize in front of everyone.

It can be said that he lost everything.

"Let's wait until Krober becomes a real dragon rider. It's too early for him now."

Ending with a simple sentence, Alvis didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

"Okay, let's talk about the political marriage between the two families. Shani's lifespan is almost over..."

Alves frowned slightly, but in order to maintain the alliance between the Emerald Kingdom and the Blazing Iron Kingdom, he could only nod in agreement.

But this time, he must find a knight with better talent, who can at least become a great knight.

At least the physical activity can be maintained for a longer period of time, so the possibility of giving birth to an heir is greater.

"Aren't you considering finding another one? Are you sticking with your dead wife?"

Bellon Red Tulip had a son with his late wife. Since his wife passed away, he has never found a second queen.

When Bellon heard Alves' words, he didn't answer immediately.

Instead, he focused his attention on Krober, who was holding hands with Veronica and talking to other dragon knights. After watching for a while, he answered.

"No, what's the point of finding a queen? It's just that female dragon knights are too rare, and the others are short-lived. Looking for them is nothing more than leaving an heir."

"As the heir to the kingdom, Axel is already good enough. It's just a pity that his old father will probably always occupy this position."

Belron shook his head helplessly. As a high-ranking dragon knight, his theoretical lifespan still does not have an accurate range.

Throughout history, there have been many high-ranking dragon knights, but none of them died of natural causes.

They either died in war or in conspiracy, but none of them died at the end of their lives.

Therefore, for Axel, contracting a lower-level dragon to become a dragon knight is the best choice.
