Verina's job is to be the commander of the garrison army, with the rank of lieutenant general, and also the mayor of Shawan Harbor.
These positions and titles have already proved the importance of this female knight in Dane's power system. The head of the army—although it is a garrison army, it is also a member of the army. The rank of lieutenant general, in Dane's army system, only Patience and Chapple can compare with her. Sandy Bay Port is the largest city within Dane's sphere of influence, excluding the system base.
With a high military rank, military power, administrative power, and control over the economic lifeline of the largest port city... Velina is extremely powerful.
To put it bluntly, apart from Dane, Verina is the most important person in his entire power.
But in fact, Verina's power is not limited to the army and Shawan Harbor.
If it is said that Dane's power has become a country, then Velina has the status of prime minister and prime minister.
She not only has to take care of things within her own responsibilities, she also has to take care of many things outside of her responsibilities. For example, Major General Palan, who is repairing the wasteland pass and building trade routes, needs to accept the leadership of General Verina. And this time, Dane didn't have time to talk about it in person, and she needed to talk about the cooperation with Earl Bull.
Even now, Dane is still considering whether to directly liberate Verina from the duties of the mayor of Shawan Harbor and the head of the garrison army, and directly let her be his right-hand man, a chief minister of the governor.
We'll think about this matter later, let Verina settle the cooperation with Waterman first.
And he himself needs to be busy with another more important thing.
Conquer Cinderella.
This scourge that has dragged on for more than a year, Dane is finally going to get rid of it.
…
New Caesar calendar 219 years, January 15.
Fifteen days into the new year, a letter of "Devil Extermination Order" was sent throughout Schindler along with Dane's messenger.
Since the end of Schindler's all-out war, when Governor Dane will solve the demons entrenched in Cinderella and Lost City has become the most important topic of discussion at the dinner table this year.
The people of Schindler are good at war, but never like war. But this battle, as long as you are a Schindler, you feel that it must be fought. No one wants to live in this piece of land where there are a lot of demons. In particular, these demons rioted from time to time, and occasionally ran out to attack human gathering places in other areas.
Now, people have finally waited for this day.
At the same time when the "Devil Extermination Order" was issued, Dane was already mobilizing his troops. In this war, he directly mobilized nearly 40,000 troops and recruited more than 20,000 civilians. It was definitely a huge military operation.
However, the army that formed this extermination of Castlevania is not just this little force.
The reason why he issued such a "Devil Extermination Order" before the battle was to boost morale, and there was another important thing, which was to request that Beast Blood Fort and Ice Cave City also send Army, come join this war.
Dane is the governor of the whole territory of Schindler. It stands to reason that all the warlords in the entire Schindler need to obey the leadership of Dane in name. But the situation in Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Castle is really special.
The troops left in the two places, Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Fort, are actually the subordinates of Governor Oze. When Oze chose to entrust all his forces to Dane, Elder, who was closest to him, chose to obey the order and walked with Dane.
But the other two places are not so obedient.
Although, at the first time, they all expressed that they would abide by Governor Oze's wishes, recognize the status of Dane, the Panorama Governor, and regard him as the Lord. But this is really a bit of obedience in name only, listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, or even obediently obediently and secretly disobeying.
In this situation, Dane has been trying to use political means to solve it. There are some results, but it is very slow and not obvious.
Dane himself felt a little unbelievable that he could endure such a violent temper until now. If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't want to start another civil war after Schindler's all-out war, and considering that they were Oze's old subordinates after all, Dane would have led the army to destroy the Beast Blood Castle and Ice Cave City. It was flattened.
And this time, it is the last chance Dane gave them to crusade against Cinderella and the demons in Lost City.
If, this time, according to Dane's request, they can take out 10,000 people obediently, unite them into an army, and go to his tent to obey orders, Dane can barely let them go, and think about other things. method, a peaceful plot.
But if this group of guys who have a vague idea of self-reliance are not willing to send someone out to attack the devil this time...
After the demons are destroyed, Dane will go to take them under the knife.
…
On February 7th, Dane's army had assembled in Mihe City, Central County.
In the hands of the veteran Lutchford, the Midlands County is gradually taking on new life. Under Dane's "Destruction of Magic Order", a large number of adventurers entered his jurisdiction to eliminate the demons that fled to the central county from the northwest where Cinderella was located.
The work of cleaning up the demons has been effective, and Ratchford has also cleverly taken advantage of the opportunity of a large number of adventurers to quickly develop the taverns, entertainment, and some supply industries in the territory, which has greatly stimulated the economy of the central county. degree of recovery.
It has been more than a year since the war, and Mihe City, which was almost destroyed in the war, has now been rebuilt. Although there is still a certain gap between the city and the most prosperous period, the momentum of prosperity has emerged. Moreover, after Cinderella is recovered, its development will become even better.
After the army was assembled, Dane did not act in a hurry.
He was waiting for news from the east and north.
Finally, on the ninth day, the Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Fort, which were dawdling, finally chose to obey Dane's order, and did not dare to bear it. They each sent an army under the guise of obeying the Governor's call Banner is coming towards Mihe City, ready to join Dane's army.
It's just that Dane's order was discounted by these people after all.
According to Dane's request, Ice Cave City and Beast Blood Fort will send out a total of 10,000 soldiers to participate in this war. However, although their army has not yet arrived, the Black Hand Academy is almost a pervasive intelligence system in Schindler, and it has sent news to Dane in advance.
These two armies, which together claim to have 10,000 troops, actually have a total strength of just over 5,000.
