Since ancient times, the Sin Domain was the territory of the survivors.
The environment there was dangerous, the thick layer of frozen soil was covered with snow all year round, the sun could not be seen for most of the year, and there were even more dangerous wild trolls and savage beastmen.
The so-called wild trolls and savage beastmen referred to those who had not formed tribes and were ignorant and uncivilized.
The tradition of the Cain beastmen and trolls eating humans was passed down from the wild trolls and savage beastmen.
The wild trolls and savage beastmen were even worse, they even ate their own kind, they were completely beasts in human form.
The humans of the Gorse Empire had always been curious about how the survivors of the Sin Domain survived in such a harsh environment.
It was also because of the harsh environment of the Sin Domain that the Gorse Empire did not take any military action against the Sin Domain when they were at their peak. As long as the nobles of the north could block the survivors outside the Black Rock Defense Line, everything would be fine.
But with the rise of the Plague Lord, the strategic position of the Sin Domain had changed.
If they could take over the Sin Domain, they could cut off the influence of the Plague Lord and block him in the underground world, he would not be able to threaten the surface world of Cain.
If they allowed the Sin Domain to be invaded by the Plague Lord, the latter would always have a perfect springboard to accumulate strength and attack the Gorse Empire.
For Viscount Dennis to be entrusted with such an important task by Nicholas IV, his strategic foresight was definitely on point.
Bai Xiaowen did not need to analyze in detail, he could also see the need to attack the Sin Domain.
Once he succeeded, as the commander of the Empire's vanguard, he would be bathed in flowers and applause, and become the greatest contributor to the Empire's northern expedition. Fame, title, land … … everything would be within his reach.
But, what was the chance of success?
"Now is the best time to attack the Sin Domain."
Bai Xiaowen began to bluff, but he seemed to be a man of few words.
His bluffing methods were ever-changing, and varied from person to person. For a smart person like Viscount Dennis who had a certain strategic foresight, there was no need to say everything clearly, and let him understand it on his own, it was better than Bai Xiaowen's persuasion.
Viscount Dennis began to attack himself.
[Count Dior … … No, soon it will be Duke Dior. What the Duke said was right. After this battle, the remnant people's vitality had been greatly damaged. They were no longer a threat. Meanwhile, the Lord of Pestilence, who has always been a headache, is completely restrained by the White Stone Region's ultimate plague nemesis drug.]
[In today's battle, the Lord of Pestilence retreated without a fight. This is the best evidence.]
'If we can obtain the technical support of White Stone Region, the Empire's vanguard will have at least a seventy percent chance of driving those undead monsters back to the underground world!'
Thinking of this, the way Viscount Dennis looked at Bai Xiaowen became much more fervent.
In Viscount Dennis's eyes, this young Duke Dior exuded an indescribable charm that was convincing.
Looking at Viscount Dennis's eyes, Bai Xiaowen felt a little guilty. Wasn't it a bit too much to use the Leaf-Covering Peony Painting to fool male Spirit World figures? I'm straight.
All these thoughts flashed through his mind for 0.1 seconds, before Bai Xiaowen spoke up: "All the credit for conquering Sin Domain will go to you."
"White Stone Region can provide enough ultimate plague nemesis for the Empire's army to conquer the north."
When Viscount Dennis heard these two sentences, his heart was filled with excitement. He suppressed his emotions and said solemnly: "Count Dior, you've won the friendship of the Dennis family."
"Ah, cheers to friendship … I'm honored! But can we talk about the price first? "
Bai Xiaowen revealed his unscrupulous face.
The contrast between before and after was a little too big. Viscount Dennis was stunned: "Oh … Okay, okay."
He was a little nervous and began to calculate in his heart:
The Dennis family was an emerging aristocratic force. Compared to Count Dior, who owned the entire north, they had no power or influence. Count Dior probably wouldn't be interested in the family's little savings of gold coins.
I have a younger sister, and she is a famous social butterfly in the Imperial Capital. I wonder if Count Dio will take a liking to her … No, I heard that White Rose Cecilia has an ambiguous relationship with this Lord Dio … '' Wait, I heard that White Rose Cecilia has an ambiguous relationship with this Lord Dio.
"I want the reserve supplies of the Empire's vanguard."
Bai Xiaowen lowered his voice and said this, waking Viscount Dennis up.
"What? That's impossible. "Viscount Dennis's first reaction was to object. Count Dior, even if you're crazy poor, you can't be greedy for military supplies. Don't you know that His Majesty hates conservative aristocrats the most? The second thing he hates is corruption.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Lord Commander, let me ask you … Is there a lot of supplies that can't be carried by the vanguard to conquer the sinful realm?"
"…"
"Don't hesitate. You should have thought of it too. For example, spare military equipment, armor parts, war horses... These spare resources were stored in Black Rock City and were used to defend the city. If the Imperial Army goes on an expedition, these supplies can't be carried. They are burdens to ensure the speed and efficiency of the march. "
"When you report the losses to the military, can't you just include these supplies in the losses?"
Viscount Dennis hesitated and said, "No, it's still not possible."
"Sigh, the production of the ultimate plague's nemesis is not cheap …" Bai Xiaowen looked up at the sky.
"…"
Viscount Dennis was speechless for a while and said reluctantly, "Even if we can get through the military, His Majesty's eyes are like torches. He will definitely be able to see that something is fishy."
"It's okay. Just tell His Majesty the truth. This is a legitimate deal to get the technical support of the White Stone Region!" Bai Xiaowen said righteously. "I'm a visitor from another world. I don't want any hereditary title. These supplies will be my reward. His Majesty will definitely agree. "
Bai Xiaowen talked about what happened two years ago. At that time, Nicholas was still a prince. It was under Bai Xiaowen's bargaining that he gave out the oath of the Black Edge Knights as a reward.
Viscount Dennis finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
"That's right. Benefiting others and benefiting ourselves, why not?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and put his arm around Viscount Dennis's shoulder. "Let's go. It's time to dance … Many socialites in the White Stone Region are waiting for you to appear. The commander who just made a great contribution, Your Excellency Dennis!"
The socialites in the White Stone Region were almost all mediocre compared to the imperial capital. Only Cecilia had good looks and temperament. However, Viscount Dennis knew Cecilia's identity and did not dare to act rashly.
At the thought that the credit for defeating the remnant army fell on his head, Dennis was intoxicated. Even looking at these vulgar women, he found them much more adorable.
On the third day after the celebration party, the special envoy from the imperial capital arrived on a galloping horse. He brought two decrees from Nicholas IV.
He officially conferred the title of Duke to the Lord of the Northern Region, Dior Kail Bloom, and conferred the title of Countess to the Lord of the White Stone Region, Cecilia.
He rewarded the commander, Viscount Dennis, affirmed his plan for the northern expedition to the sinful realm, and urged the Northern Region to provide as much support as possible.
