[Ding, congratulations to the host on the new job transfer facility, Avalanche Defender is turned on, Aurora Knight advanced, Changfeng Knight is turned on, please throw the civilians in, wait for 2 minutes, and a powerful warrior will jump out... Did you think I would say that? Stop dreaming, this is a real world, and there is no such messy job transfer system that is neither scientific nor magical.]
[Want a strong warrior? Okay, train yourself, train yourself. - Building a barracks and planning to send troops? The interstellar war next door is calling you.]
Well, it's not that simple to want powerful arms, but the most unscientific and magical system actually complains that I am unscientific, as expected, as always.
This is already the third day of the "Day of Return" triumphal celebration, but not to mention that the celebrations in Defende have not stopped, and the celebrations have been extended to the level of the entire country.
"Since that's the case, let's just celebrate the whole country for a week and give amnesty to the world. Well, the food will come from the national treasury, so let the people who have been suppressed for a long time have a good time."
This is the judgment I have made. Although it is clear that it has the taste of bribing people's hearts, it can indeed play a role in calming people's hearts during this storm.
The celebration is nothing more than a performance of food, wine, music and art, plus various special activities. The square outside the window is full of singing, dancing, laughter, and drums. But in this palace, it has already returned to the busy daily life.
"According to your plan, there will be a five-day celebration of the Return Day, as well as the provision of food for the celebrations to other towns. At least two additional months of rations will be used, and the abundant food supply will appear earlier. Gap. Although there are good-hearted people who have sponsored a lot this time, the expected resource gap is always a hidden danger. If the proposer is not you, I will definitely block the proposal at all costs, and then find a reason to throw the proposer away. to the frontier as a coolie."
The words of the chief female officer of the palace, Kelly, are also the common thoughts of the administrative officials. They are used to it. They can't wait to split a copper coin and spend it for two days. How can such "luxury waste" be tolerated? could not be held.
"Everyone has worked hard, but it's worth it. On the one hand, we should reward the people. Although the harvest season is still bleak, it is not their fault. After a year of hard work, it is time for them to rest for a few days. On the other hand, we It is also necessary to give the people a new impression that 'from today, everything will be different', and with this as a juncture, many jobs will become easier to do in the future."
morale? Popularity? What people want? This seemingly illusory thing, in a sense, will also play a key and positive role. At least let the people fill their stomachs and have a hope for a better future, which is the only thing we can do now.
Of course, to truly change the country, we still have to do it one step at a time.
My whimsical request directly to the system turned out to be an even more whimsical answer as expected. Every soldier needs several years or even more than ten years of training. It would be great if it could be done in real life.
"Then, the most important tasks at present are still those two, one is the reorganization of the main armies, and the other is the food issue..."
Although the sparrow is small and complete, there are at least 30 officials in this urgently called internal affairs meeting. Judging from the contacts just now, there are still many talents among them. Renee and the royal family of Lan have been able to survive to this day. Diligent administrative talents are indispensable.
A poor family, a filial son, a worthy minister in a country, should we be grateful for so many years of hard work? We can organize a celebration in just ten hours, calculate how much pressure a week’s celebration will cause on next year’s food supply, and then place new ones. Where the legion is stationed, the group of grass-level teams in Sulphur Mountain City who are "sages are right" are absolutely impossible to do.
But no matter how strong the administrative skills are, it is still from the efficient use of effective resources. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. If there is nothing, no matter how strong administrative masters are, they still cannot do things.
At this moment, it is very unaccustomed for the meeting to be held like this. As a newcomer, not only do I have no official position, but I sit at the main seat to preside over the internal affairs meeting, but they take it for granted, as it is right and proper... Well, the meeting is the most inappropriate. I am used to it myself.
After all, I have long been accustomed to the unreliable group of my subordinates. I used to fight with them most of the time in meetings, trying to bring back the topic that was deviated from the original point. Now I have such a serious discussion with the participants. Not used to it.
Seeing the serious faces of the middle-aged and elderly officials, taking notes, thinking, and asking questions, I really wanted to pull Xueho, who was still revelling in the square, and let them see how others were doing things seriously. .
"As for food, there should be a batch of meat after half a month. If you make a good reserve, it should be consumed for a longer period of time."
Kelly suddenly realized.
"You mean the whale?"
I nodded. The mountain-like narwhal corpse was too wasteful to be thrown into the sea. Considering the food supply, I had already let the Northern Lights set off to drag it back.
Considering that it is too big, if you can't drag it, it is also possible to cut it into pieces on the spot and bring it back.
Even if the top sea monster dies, the reserved power will last for a period of time. There is no need to worry that fish and shrimp will come to you so soon. Whale meat can be used as food, and it seems that there are top spices in the body. This is a great wealth , it's a pity to waste it.
"As for the fundamental solution to the food problem, I also have a plan. It should be no problem to sell the harvest this time in exchange for at least two or three years of disaster relief food. Then, this can be discussed in the long run."
Donglan is a small country after all, and the huge amount of resources that makes the emperor of the superpower Oran Empire tremble and heartache is even more astronomical for a small country, and it is possible to eat it for a few years.
Asked, the chief financial officer looked over his records, and then nodded affirmatively.
"If you sell those gems and minerals, let alone two years, five years is enough."
I nodded with satisfaction, but at the same time I remembered the bitter face of Dasos during the extortion, and, according to Rosemary, she had already entered the core layer of the Oran Empire, maybe she will let me in the future. Play the tricky gaps.
"Going from a maid with a suspicious identity to a high level of power, and saying that she might step into a higher level, I really don't know how she did it..."
Although she has always refused to invest in the reason why she has never made it to the sky, I don't think she will lie. Apart from her phylactery still in my hands, getting top-level information on the entire continent from her also proves that she has indeed come into contact with high-level information.
"It's obviously not enough to just eat the big households, but it's okay to eat for a few years at least. I will find a way to solve the problem of food. Then, let's talk about which proposal-expanding the army."
If it is another country, the proposal to expand the army is a life-threatening proposal. The doves and hawks will fight together, unless the emperor exerts pressure, and it is a dream for three to five years or even ten or twenty years. The strengthening of the central army will also It is necessary to be concerned about the reaction of the local lords. Even if they are lucky enough to pass, they really need to start forming legions. At that time, it will be ridiculous to snatch military positions and military power.
But for Dong Lan, who has been struggling in the Northland for so long, this is simply a dream.
"Whether it's to deal with future wars, or to protect the people from the winter beast tide, in the North, no amount of powerful legions are too few. Then, the first thing to do is to restore the imitation of the old country of Arashi, with my With the knights as the core, the various legions will be re-formed, the original name will not be changed, the flag will not be changed, and the equipment and supplies will be the original version.
Looking around, everyone who saw them nodded in approval and excited eyes. The people of Lan have suffered enough from the lack of troops. As long as the resources keep up, they can form a real strong army. This is a good thing.
"In fact, young people have always had a strong will to protect their families and the country. Those who volunteered to join the army have always exceeded our logistics capacity. Now as long as the logistics keep up, and there are legendary arms to attract newcomers, there should be no soldiers. question."
"Well, the big conscription will start after this celebration is over. If you don't have enough equipment, you can use simple wooden swords and wooden spears for training first, spread out the field first and then talk about other things. Everything starts from actual combat and hurry up training."
However, some people heard other meanings from my words and raised their own doubts.
"Future war? Does His Highness think there will be another war?"
"Well, you should have also heard that a new round of eternal holy war is about to begin. On the Oran side, the water element and the sea clan are only fighting an outpost, and it's not just that the rest is not peaceful."
When it came to the eternal holy war, everyone's face became very bad immediately. It is one thing to expand the army, and it is another thing to fight a war.
"The secret information I got not long ago, the black winged wing and the god of wind elements in the south got a piece, their cloud fleet is all the way west, looting the passing towns along the way, and the capitals of two middle kingdoms have also suffered. disaster. And the north…”
When it comes to the north, as expected, everyone has boosted their spirits. After all, this is the northern end of the human world. It involves the safety of one's own life, so people must be more careful.
I sighed helplessly in the bottom of my heart. Sure enough, the people of Lan have suffered many disasters. They defeated the orc tribe only a year ago, and it has only been quiet for a few days, and trouble has come again.
"... In the north, there seems to be a tribe that got the support of the God of Earth Elements and suddenly became stronger. That guy named himself an orc khan. They should now be annexing each other through civil war. As usual, I'm afraid it's only time for a large army to invade south. question."
"That's impossible! Ah, Your Highness, I'm not saying you're lying, but this..."
"This is a catastrophic disaster! Your Highness, are you sure of your source?"
"His Royal Highness, is it the orc tribe, the highland orcs or the plains orcs? Have the other northern countries received the news?"
Sure enough, when the bomb was dropped, the entire conference room became noisy immediately.
The orcs in the north are divided into two areas. The highland orcs are distributed along the Orison Mountains. The landforms are complex, and more than 70% of the orcs live there. Although the number of orcs in the Hulan Plain is small, they are relatively dense. more dangerous.
If it was the orc tribes on the highland side, there would be at least a few countries as barriers, but if it was the plain orcs, Donglan had a border line bordering them, and due to historical reasons, the border line of dozens of kilometers has never been calm. .
Of course, this is not bad. If the border of the Land of Lan was in the past, the two sides were directly connected to each other, and the pressure was even greater. In the past two hundred years, the kingdom of Suya, a highland country with barbarian blood, has risen, together with the neighboring kingdom of Rhodenan, Abruptly cut the Orc Great Plains in half, which really relieved the pressure.
By the way, these two countries are the only two of the seven countries in the extreme north that have a good relationship with the Principality of Donglan. Apart from the reason why they are both regarded as "barbarian countries", their lands are newly developed places of alien races. , not occupying the territory of the original country of Lan, and not having this tangled historical hatred, is the fundamental reason for the good relationship.
As for the other countries in the seven northern kingdoms, many of them are pioneering lords from the south, and they are still relatives of the seventeen countries that were destroyed. Will be willing to come to this "barbarian country".
"The three northern kingdoms are dominated by the aborigines of the northern land (there is also an ancient kingdom of phoenix habitation, the Rhodenan Kingdom is on both sides, and the political position is still slightly inclined to the north, but the royal family is from the south)", "the four southern kingdoms (among which Si Luwei is located)" The Kingdom of Er is the split product of the Kingdom of Lan, and they emphasize that they are the orthodox of the Kingdom of Lan." Plus a bunch of small autonomous regions that don't even count as a country, it's the chaotic situation in the North.
The entire Northland is regarded as a barbarian by the great human powers, and there are still constant contradictions among the countries of the Northland, making this bitter cold land a real human border and exile land, at least those so-called autonomous regions, many of which are The "land of the free" of robbers and wanted criminals
"... The information was actually given by the Elf Kingdom. It should be credible. It is said that most of the human kingdoms have been notified. It is from the highland orcs, which seems to be called the Blood Axe Tribe."
"Bah, those long ears would like us to fight to the death with the beast barbarians, but we are excluded as always."
"Ha, Sluwell is going to be unlucky, the traitor deserves it."
"The Duchy of Kasomi is the same. The Blood Axe Tribe doesn't seem to be far from them. But I'm afraid it will involve the Rhodenan Kingdom."
There was a lot of discussion below, and at this point, the meeting has come to the final conclusion.
"Don't be too happy, although we won't bear the brunt of the brunt, the possibility of being involved is not low, and once the border is breached, we will face the orc tribe as well, and we must prepare for actual combat standards. Therefore, I have A proposal to restart the glory of our past history this year - winter hunting!"
…
The conference room was still busy, but I took a nap on the edge of the corridor.
Even though it was night, the square not far away was still noisy, the bonfire had been lit, the vulgar and lively music made me smile from the bottom of my heart, I also saw the bone dragon twisting the waist and dancing strange dance steps, it seems that they It's going to be an all-nighter.
All the work that can be arranged has been arranged, and I don’t have to worry about the rest. The preparations for the military recruitment and the reunion day celebration are very smooth, and I don’t need to worry about the special person in charge. The only point of controversy is still the winter hunting that I finally proposed. .
Only people in the north know that the herds of beasts in winter and the beasts of summer are completely different concepts. The herds of beasts driven crazy by hunger are bloodthirsty and crazy, and they are not afraid of any enemies.
If you are hungry, you can dig a moat and they can be filled with flesh and blood. Mutated monsters and super monsters in the snowy mountains are not uncommon. Once they run wild, they are absolutely terrible enemies.
The spring and autumn in the Northland are very short. The sum of spring, summer and autumn only takes more than five months. After more than 30 days, the ice season in the Northland, covered with snow and snow, will come again. Good way.
If the herds of beasts form a beast tide, it would be helpless to relocate the residents of small villages and towns to large towns. After all, not everything can be brought with them. Villagers who return to their hometowns in the spring of the coming year will inevitably see their homes devastated. .
And the big migration is often extremely dangerous. If you happen to encounter a herd of beasts that set off early in the wild, the beasts that set off alone may be delivered to your door.
But it is even more unrealistic to ask villagers to give up their homes, livestock, and farmland from the very beginning. If they give up once a year, they will still not be able to survive. The living space around big cities and towns is limited, and the food supply is even more limited. .
Obviously, the above countermeasures are not only passive, but also have many problems. The winter hunting I proposed can not only obtain a large amount of meat and beast specialties, but also actively use mobile forces to attack the beast herds, which can reduce the pressure on the town and greatly encourage. The morale of the people and the army has many benefits.
Of course, everyone knows these benefits, but what has not been implemented for a long time is still a fundamental problem of strength.
Using fortifications in towns to deal with beasts that can only fight the war of attrition, and dealing with bloodthirsty and cunning beasts in the wild are two completely different concepts, and the reason why my proposal will be opposed by everyone is also Because of their understanding and lack of confidence in the country's combat power.
"How can you be considered a strong army without the actual combat test? Crazy orcs are better to deal with than brainless beasts. Even if you worry about those young guys, the recruits can only grow at a high speed if they have veterans and experience in actual combat. I have never seen blood. No matter how well-equipped the legion is, it can only be regarded as a security guard.”
I didn't argue with them. After all, my words are useless. In the end, I have to persuade them to see their strength. Anyway, the army is already in my hands, so I'll prepare first.
By the way, my current status is embarrassing. After all, I am the prince of the Land of Lan. Although the royal family of this country claims to be my descendant and has been recognized by the world, then, from a legal point of view, I should really be A member of this royal family, but I should be regarded as your majesty who has abdicated, but I have neither served as king nor died, so I became the emperor directly
This relationship seems to be messed up, and I am afraid that even the most powerful heraldry (specializing in the study of noble blood and family crest) experts, can't sort out this mess.
And now I am in control of the military, but I am acting as the guardian knight of Princess Renee.
Yes, the guardian knight is not a divided military knight. After all, not long ago, in order to use the Roland holy sword to prove my identity, I had to ask Renee to help seal a verbal knight. In the end, she was better and went directly to the gate of Defende. Just gave me a guardian knight.
"This is about to enter the city, so you can find the senate to determine your title and fiefdom. Anyway, there are many precedents for the elder brother and father to serve as guardian knights for single princesses. Brother Roland is like my elder brother, so I can make do with guardian knights. ."
When she said this, Renee's little face was flushed, and she was obviously a little embarrassed.
But the identity of this guardian knight is indeed very convenient, handling the incident as Renee's royal authority agent, and avoiding a lot of embarrassment, I thought it was a good idea at the time, and I praised Renee.
"The ability to adapt to emergencies is good, the little girl is still very clever, um, this is like my descendants."
It's obviously a compliment from the bottom of my heart, but I don't know why when I said this, Kelly and Renee's faces turned dark, and some people from the army of the dead behind laughed out loud.
Well, let's get down to business, at least the status of Renee's agent gives me, who has no official position, a little more confidence when I hold an executive meeting.
There are actually many things that are simply inconvenient to say in meetings, but I have already started.
"Since the holy sword of Roland, which is a symbol of royal power, has reappeared, Donglan should also be able to talk about orthodoxy and merger with the small countries that were divided into the kingdom of Lan. There is also the altar of ice in the snow-capped mountains, which has been around for more than 300 years. I don't know how many new born ice demons have been accumulated, and it is time to produce real Aurora Knights. These two things are really only possible for me to do it myself."
There is one more troublesome matter. At this time, I miss Eliza infinitely. If she is here, I can rest assured to be the shopkeeper... or take the time to chat with her.
[System prompt: Your death has broken through the sky... Cough, I really didn't come out this time to complain about your suicide, but I have another daily task, please accept it.]
[Ding, daily task: today's unlucky person, please punish at least three villains who committed evil deeds, according to the identity of the punishment object, reward 1-100 points of fate, there is no cap. But if you don't complete the direct deduction of 1,000 points - you don't have to do daily routines because you are not afraid of deduction because you have more fate points recently? If the daily routine fails this time, 10,000 points will be deducted directly for the next failure.]
When I saw this daily task, I was stunned.
Doing evil is not necessarily illegal, breaking the law is mostly doing evil. In the past, it was easy to find a scoundrel to be punished. Just find a criminal in the prison, but because of the handover day celebration, the amnesty was just issued soon, so go there and find a criminal. criminal.
If you look for it now, the god's announcement of the place of innocence will be in your ears, and even the maddened villain will be afraid of the power of the gods, so let's hold back for a while.
"It seems that the only thing you have to do is to admit that you are unlucky. The stupid system must be looking at me and want to punish me. It's a thousand points for a thousand points, but you really have to be careful about tomorrow's ten thousand points... Pfft!"
The scene in front of me made me squirt out the tea, and even rubbed my eyes, wondering if I was seeing an illusion.
It was a group of men running, and among them were many familiar figures, and the one who took the lead was the tall and mighty Tauren.
"Returning to nature and walking with the wind is the true nature of our tauren. My real name doesn't matter, please call me the son of the wind! Come on, friends, please join us in this wonderful gallop running against the wind."
Not surprisingly, there are many guards chasing behind this group of bastards, and in addition to the wooden sticks, there are also messy clothes and pants in their hands.
"Sir, at least put on your panties, panties, panties!" The city guard's call echoed in the street, and my face turned green immediately.
"Wind... Son of the Wind, you are so tall! Are you because this is the underground world? There are a few tauren in Defende who have been ganging up from the very beginning. The Supreme Judge led the team to run naked. What will you do to the judges of the Law Church tomorrow? Be human. I thought you could hold it for a few days, but now you can't stand it anymore? The family is unfortunate!"
So, I picked up the Silver Avenger without hesitation.
"I understand, it turns out that the system is not upset with me, but rather with that silly cow! Okay, I'll clean up the portal today."
[Ding, the guess is good, but there is no prize. The system continues to prompt, think more about why the mission requires at least three people to go to the top. Yes, because of the City of Miracles and Innocence, those local criminals will indeed have to settle for a while, but you forgot there is a group of weirdos who are the best at guessing the law's borderline dance.]
"Do you want to be a fireworks master envy by everyone? Do you want to understand the profound meaning of the festival from the underground world? It's safe, reliable, dazzling, and the fireworks are on sale. You deserve it!"
Well, here comes the villain who sells dangerous goods and fakes.
"Hmph, it's time for us to understand our grievances. I want to avenge my lover No. 38!" Standing against the wall with a bow, was a rather expert half-dragon hunter.
"Ha, don't think that I will be afraid of you when you advance to the legend. A real hunter will never be afraid because of the strength of the prey, that will only make us happier. Hmph, your weakness has long been exposed to my eyes, the next moment , is your death." This is an old dwarf hunter, although the appearance is ordinary, but the silver gleaming shotgun is obviously not a common thing.
On the side of the stall, a goblin was shouting hard.
"The grievances and grievances of 30 years ago are understood overnight, and the peerless war is about to be staged. Kabbalah is accepting all kinds of bets, betting on the legendary half-dragon person to win, the next loses two, the bet on the ace shooter wins, the next loses three, If both sides of the bet die together, the next one will lose ten, and if the two sides laugh at each other, the next one will lose one hundred..."
Well, there are all those who swindle gambling and fight in private. After hearing this, I already know what to do. Before the face of the underground world and the Law Church is thrown into the gutter by these bastards, I must hurry up. Pack up.
"Well, can I bet that the duel is terminated for a special reason?"
"Of course, the odds are 7 to 1, but the ending of the grief and hatred is not included." As soon as the proud Kabbalah looked up and saw me, his smiling face turned into a crying face.
"You... aren't you supposed to be in a meeting?"
I just threw a bag of gold coins down and hit him on the head.
"Keep it for me, and I will ask you for a bonus when I clean up these bastards!"
Well, it was a night of suppression that I liked to hear and hear. After running out of breath, I immediately made rebuilding the urban management team my top priority.
In the end, the daily tasks were completed as scheduled, and more than 700 points were accumulated as rewards.
Of course, the streaking of the Supreme Bishop is destined to become a stain on the Church of the Law, but in the future history, this is how this dark history is recorded.
"During the Homecoming Day celebration in AD 1897, because he was sincerely happy for the knights who returned to their hometown, Snowhoof, who was the supreme bishop at the time, drank too much during the celebration, and then lost his morality after drinking. Although he did not violate the discipline, he wanted to punish him himself, he hung himself upside down on the highest flagpole in the palace for three days and three nights."
"And people in the world lamented his noble character of being upright and strict with himself. They called him a 'just hanged man' and hung him upside down on the flagpole. To commemorate this story, it has become a traditional custom to return to the gallop of the sun and wind, and of course, most of the participants will still wear a pair of underwear."
