    In ancient times, a city with an area of ??four to five square kilometers was already a huge city. Paris and London were only of this size, and the two capitals of the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, Rome and Byzantium, exceeded ten square kilometers.  A little over a kilometer, it can accommodate a population of nearly one million, but placed in a forest and plains, ten square kilometers is pitifully small.  "It's just a small territory about 3,000 meters long and 3,000 meters wide. From the center of the territory to the edge of the territory, it's only more than a thousand meters away.  So when Ollie led the team to stop at the edge of the territory without any scruples, raising torches and cutting down trees everywhere, Sir Fireclaw and Sir Hans standing on the watchtower could roughly see clearly.  "Sir Hans, what are they doing? Why do they seem to be preparing to build something?" Sir Fireclaw asked in confusion.  The other party did not launch an attack immediately, which made Sir Fireclaw feel lucky and a little happy. This shows that the other party still has some scruples about the orders of the Demon Castle, but he cannot be careless. Maybe the other party is confusing him. After all, there are a hundred people.  It is possible to defeat one's own team, but it is too difficult to annihilate them all. Waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive before taking action, the probability of success will definitely be higher.  "It doesn't make sense to just wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, but it doesn't make sense to build buildings. Is there such a small road between the two territories that we need to prepare an advance camp?"  Due to the bonus of spells, Sir Hans could see more clearly than Sir Fire Claw. He simply replied: "It is indeed building something, but it doesn't look like a camp, but more like an ordinary checkpoint." "Oh,  Sir Hans, you are very intelligent. What do you think they are planning?" Sir Fireclaw complimented.  "Well, in addition to the checkpoint, they seem to be building a boundary marker for the territory" Sir Hans looked at it for a while.  Frowning.  "Build a boundary mark?" Sir Fire Claw was stunned: "How could it be possible? It couldn't be the boundary mark between my Fire Claw Territory and their Lion Heart Territory. Doesn't that mean they have officially recognized my territory?" "  That's why I feel strange, it shouldn't be like this!" Sir Hans also said a little confused.  Not all territories have easy-to-distinguish natural landforms as dividing lines, so it is necessary to build some artificial boundary markers to determine the dividing line between the two territories.  In fact.  Most territorial disputes between territories are caused by the loss or suspicion of forgery of the original boundary markers. ? conversely, construct landmarks on borders.  This is equivalent to admitting that there are two different territories on both sides of the boundary, which is also confirming the existence of Sir Fire Claw's territory. Many methods that are not on the table can no longer be used, such as after encircling and annihilating Sir Fire Claw's team.  It is claimed that Sir Fireclaw's team arrived at the feudal territory before arriving.  He had already died at the hands of the human team.  "I also think they have a conspiracy!" Sir Fire Claw also said doubtfully. Such an attitude of being arrogant and then respectful is really weird: "The key is, what conspiracy do they have?" "I can't tell it for a while.  , No matter what, Sir Fire Claw, at least you don¡¯t have to worry about the other party attacking directly!" Sir Hans said thoughtfully.  "No, no, Sir Hans. You underestimate me. Even if they really attack me, I won't be afraid!" Sir Firepaw boasted for a while, but stopped when he saw that Sir Hans didn't seem to hear a word.  He came down, glanced at Sir Hans tentatively, and said: "Since they have no intention of using force, Sir Hans" "Don't worry, I'm not ready to go back yet. I also want to see what they are going to do."  What idea?" Sir Hans nodded.  "No, no, I'm not worried about thiswell, I am indeed a little worried, Sir Hans, it's great that you can stay!" ""  The first simple checkpoint has been built.  After matching a corresponding boundary marker, Ollie left a small group of seven soldiers waiting at the checkpoint. He divided the large group into two teams, each chose a direction and walked along the dividing line, and finally each chose a suitable location.  Logging began again and construction of checkpoints and boundaries was established.  At first, the two demon knights felt strange. After all, even if the boundaries between the two families were to be determined as soon as possible, there was no need to build so many boundary markers. Everyone had just developed their territories. Who could have the extra manpower to invade other families' lands?  However, when the two of them saw that Ollie's troops had completed three sets of checkpoints and boundary markers, they still did not stop. Instead, they continued to walk down in a circle. It suddenly occurred to them that they were obviously determining the boundary.  , but secretly want to encircle their territory!  Although they are only knights now and can only own a maximum territory of ten square kilometers, this does not mean that they will still be like this in the future. If the territory is enclosed early?On this small piece of land, even if their title reaches earl in the future, the territory will still not be able to expand unless they sell the territory to the baron and choose another place to open up a new territory.  "What is this, a territory within a territory?" Sir Fireclaw, who had never experienced such an incident in his life, was confused for a moment and said angrily: "Asshole, what qualifications does he have to define my territory? Is it just because of that?"  "His territory is bigger than mine?" "That's enough. No, I have to go back to my own territory to take a look!" Sir Hans said, he was also a little worried.  "No, no, don't go back in a hurry. My territory is closer to that baron's territory than yours. If anything happens, start from my side first. I haven't finished here yet. There should be no problem on your side, so Han  Sir Si, it's better for you to stay here until the end!" Sir Fire Claw also felt that there was a big conspiracy coming over him. How could he let such a great helper as Sir Hans go at this time?  , hurriedly spoke to persuade him to stay.  But there is some truth in what Sir Fire Claw said. Nothing will happen to Sir Hans' territory until his territory is completely sealed off.  Sir Hans was concerned and confused before. Now that he thinks about it, Sir Fire Claw is right. Instead of rushing back after seeing half of it, it is better to wait until these troops have determined all the boundary markers and what methods they will use.  , when the time comes, we can also deploy some targeted defensive measures.  As for sending people to prevent the other party from building boundary markers, neither Sir Fire Claw nor Sir Hans thought about it.  You are not on the strong side. If you take the initiative to stir up trouble when the other party has no obvious clues, isn't that asking for death?  It took about half a day, and the team brought by Ollie finally built five checkpoints around Sir Fire Claw's territory, each leaving a team of seven troops to guard, and surrounded the entire Jazz Territory.  Then he casually posted notices on all five checkpoints, and sent someone to deliver the same notice to Sir Fire Claw's camp.  Sir Firepaw and Sir Hans looked together.  " From today on, when entering or exiting the border of the Lion Heart Territory, each person must pay a head tax of 100 gold coins, a land use tax of 100 gold coins, and a road maintenance tax of 100 gold coins. Each person in the team of seven or more must pay an additional 100 gold coins for personal property.  Security tax" Sir Hans read slowly while holding the notice, his eyebrows tangled into a big knot: "The border of Lionheart Territory?" "The so-called border refers to the big circle surrounding my territory.  ?" Sir Fire Claw stretched out his hand with a strange expression and drew a circle around him: "Every time I enter or leave my territory, I have to pay taxes to him?" "That should be what it means" Sir Hans put down the notice in his hand.  , sighed: "I didn't expect that this baron would be so ruthless. He not only killed the hope of future expansion of our territory, but also planned to imprison us in the territory from now on, cutting off material exchanges inside and outside. If we were really imprisoned by him for three years  , Three years later, I am afraid that the territory will still be desolate. By then, he only needs to send out a random army to destroy us!" "It's not good, it's too bad, Sir Hans, you are knowledgeable and face-to-face.  Do you have any solution to this situation?" Sir Fire Claw frowned and asked repeatedly.  "I have no way to crack it. He did it very cunningly. Not only did he leave enough territory for us to prevent us from suing him to the Demon Castle in the name of territorial disputes, but he also only taxed his own territory. Even if  Even the Demon God's Castle can't deprive a lord of his right to freely collect taxes in his own territory. He is using force to suppress others!" Sir Hans shook his head.  "But if we want to develop our territory, we have to solve this situation. Now it's just my territory that faces this problem, and it will definitely be your territory's turn next!" Sir Fire Claw said unwillingly.  "Of course I know this." Sir Hans glanced at Sir Fireclaw with some displeasure and said: "To solve this problem, the only way now is for us to take the initiative!" "You mean?  , we form a coalition and take the initiative to fight with that baron?" Sir Fire Claw hesitated: "But don't forget, he is also in a two-year war protection period. According to regulations, he cannot attack us.  You can't attack him either! " "That's true, but there is a rule in Demon Castle. If both lords voluntarily sign an agreement and lead their troops in a decisive battle, they will not be subject to the war protection period!  He said coldly.  "Sign an agreement voluntarily?" Sir Fire Claw was stunned: "Aren't you stupid? As long as the blockade of our two territories is completed, the baron will be in an invincible position. With such a huge advantage,  Will he not use it, but foolishly send troops to fight us? "   "I think as long as we are willing to propose it, there is a high possibility that he will agree!" Sir Hans said coldly: "Don't forget that guarding boundary signs and collecting taxes require enough manpower, otherwise it will be a piece of paper. At the same time,  Blockade of two territories requires more manpower, which we cannot bear. It will also be a serious burden for the baron to maintain it for a long time!"
