[Ding, congratulations to the host on the new job transfer facility. Avalanche Defender job transfer is enabled, Aurora Knight advancement is enabled, and Changfeng Knight job transfer is enabled. Please throw the civilians in and wait for 2 minutes, and a powerful warrior will pop out...
...Do 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 powerful soldiers? OK, train and cultivate yourself. - Build a barracks and plan to send troops? The interstellar war next door is calling you.]
Well, it’s not that simple to have powerful troops, but the most unscientific and magic system actually accuses me of being unscientific. It’s as cheating as ever.
This is already the third day of the "Return Day" triumphal celebration, but not to mention that Difende's celebrations have not stopped, the celebrations have expanded to the level of the entire country.
"In this case, let's just celebrate the whole country for a week and give everyone an amnesty. Well, the food will be provided by the national treasury, so that the people who have been depressed for a long time can have a good time."
This is the judgment I made. Although it clearly has the taste of trying to win people's hearts, it can indeed play a role in calming people's hearts in this stormy time.
The celebration was nothing more than food, wine, music and art performances, plus various special activities. There was constant singing, dancing and laughter in the square outside the window, and the sound of drums and music was loud. But inside the palace, it had already returned to busy daily life.
"According to your plan, there will be a five-day Homecoming Day celebration, and food for the celebration will be provided to other towns. At least more than two months of additional food rations will be used. Finally, sufficient food supplies will appear in advance.
Gap. Although there is sponsorship from well-intentioned people this time, a lot has been gained. The expected resource gap is always a hidden danger. If the proposer is not you, I will definitely block the proposal at all costs. Then find a reason to throw away the proposer.
Go to the border to work as a coolie.”
The words of Kelly, the chief female officer of the palace, are also a common thought among administrative officials. They are so used to it that they wish they could break a copper coin and spend it in two days. How could they endure such "luxury and waste"? If I hadn't suppressed it, I'm afraid this celebration would not have happened at all.
Unable to hold.
"Everyone has worked hard, but it is worth it. On the one hand, we want to reward the people. Although the harvest season is still bleak, it is not their fault. After working hard for a year, it is time for them to rest for a few days. On the other hand, we
We also need to give the people a new impression, 'From today on, everything will be different.' If we take this as a node, many jobs will become easier to do in the future."
Morale? Popular support? What people want? This seemingly illusory thing will also play a key and positive role in a certain sense. At least it will allow the people to fill their stomachs and have an expectation for a better future. It is our
The only thing that can be done now.
Of course, if we want to truly change this country, we still have to do it step by step.
I made a whimsical request directly to the system, and I got the even more whimsical answer I expected. Every soldier needs several years or even more than ten years of training. How can he build a barracks and throw in resources before sending out troops? If it can be done like this in reality.
That's great.
"Then, the most important tasks at the moment are still those two things, one is the reorganization of the main legions, and the other is the food problem..."
Although the sparrow is small and well-organized, at least thirty officials came to this urgently convened internal affairs meeting. Judging from the recent contact, there are quite a lot of talents among them. Renee and the Lanzhi royal family can survive to this day. These experienced and
Diligent administrative talents are indispensable.
A poor family shows filial piety, and a country cannot recognize virtuous ministers. Should we be grateful for so many years of hard work? We can organize a celebration in just ten hours, calculate the pressure that a week-long celebration will put on next year's food supply, and then arrange new ones.
The group of grass-roots teams in the legion station and Sulfur Mountain City who always say "what the sage said is right" will never be able to do it.
However, no matter how strong the administrative skills are, it still depends on the efficient use of effective resources. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. If there is nothing, no matter how strong the administrative master is, he still cannot get things done.
At this moment, it’s very unaccustomed for the meeting to be held like this. As a newcomer, not only do I have no official position, but I still sit at the head of the house and preside over the internal affairs meeting, but they look like it is natural and natural... Well, the most important thing in the meeting is
It’s just me who’s not used to it.
After all, I have long been accustomed to the unreliable people under my command. I used to spend most of the meeting fighting with them, trying to bring the topic back to the original point. Now, it is very awkward to discuss the issue with the participants so seriously.
Not used to it.
Looking at the serious faces of the middle-aged and elderly officials, their working attitude of constantly taking notes, thinking and then asking questions, I really want to pull over the snow hoofs who are still reveling in the square and show them how other people work seriously.
.
"As for food, there should be a batch of meat in half a month. If we make a good reserve, it should be consumed for a longer period of time."
Kelly suddenly understood.
"You mean the whale?"
I nodded. It would be too wasteful to leave that mountain-like dead narwhal carcass in the sea. Considering the food supply, I have directly asked the Northern Lights to set off to drag it back.
Considering that it is too big, if it cannot be dragged, it is also possible to cut it into pieces of meat on site and bring it back.
Even if the top sea monster dies, the reserved power will last for a while. You don’t have to worry about fish and shrimps coming to your door so soon. Whale meat can be used as food, and it seems that there are top spices in the body. This is a lot of wealth.
, it would be a pity to waste it.
"As for fundamentally solving the food problem, I also have a plan. There should be no problem in selling this harvest to exchange for at least two or three years of disaster relief food. Then, this can be discussed in the long term."
After all, Donglan is a small country, and the huge amount of resources that makes even the superpower Oran Empire's emperor tremble and heartache is an astronomical figure for a small country, and it is possible for it to last for several years.
When asked, the director in charge of finance looked through his records and nodded affirmatively.
"If we sell all those gems and minerals, not to mention two years, five years will be enough."
I nodded with satisfaction, but at the same time I remembered the bitter face of Dasos during the blackmail. Moreover, I heard from Rosemary that she had already penetrated into the core of the Oran Empire. Maybe she would let me in in the future.
Play with the gaps.
"From a maid with a suspicious identity to a powerful person, she also said that she might step into a higher level. I really don't know how she did it..."
Although she has never been willing to invest in the reason of reaching the sky in one step, I don't think she would lie. In addition to her phylactery still being held in my hands, getting top-level intelligence on the entire continent from her also proves that she has indeed been exposed to high-level intelligence.
"It's obviously not possible to just rely on large households, but it won't hurt to eat for at least a few years. I will find a way to solve the food problem, so let's talk about which proposal - military expansion."
If it were other countries, the proposal to expand the military would be a life-threatening proposal. The doves and hawks would fight together. Unless the emperor exerted high pressure, it would be a dream if it did not last for three to five years or even ten or twenty years. The strengthening of the Central Army would still be a dream.
You have to worry about the reaction of the local lords. Even if you are lucky enough to pass, once you start to form a legion, you will have to seize military positions and have military power.
But for Dong Lan, who has been struggling in the Northland for so long, this is simply a dream expectation, and the fundamental reason why there was no expansion of the army before was because he could not afford it.
"Whether it is to cope with future wars or to protect the people from the winter beast tide, in the Northland, no matter how many powerful legions there are, there are too few. So, the first thing to do is to restore the organization that imitates the past Arashi Kingdom, and use my
With knights as the core, each legion will be reorganized. The original name will not be changed, the flag will not be changed, and the equipment and supplies will be original. If there are old backbones to help, it should be able to take shape within ten years."
Looking around, I saw the slight nods of approval and the excited eyes of everyone. The people of the Lan Kingdom have suffered enough from the lack of troops. As long as the resources can keep up, they can form a truly strong army. This is a good thing they dream of.
"In fact, young people have always had a strong will to protect their families and the country. The number of people voluntarily signing up to join the army has always exceeded our logistics carrying capacity. Now as long as the logistics can keep up and there are legendary arms to attract new people, there should be no shortage of soldiers.
question."
"Well, the big recruitment will start when the celebration is over. If there is not enough equipment, we will first use simple wooden swords and wooden guns for training. Let's set up the field first and then talk about other things. Everything should be based on actual combat and start training."
However, some people heard other meanings from my words and raised their own doubts.
"Future war? Does His Highness think there is going to be another war?"
"Well, you should also have heard that a new round of eternal holy war is about to begin. On the Oran side, the water element and the sea tribe are only fighting on the outpost, and it is not just the place that is not peaceful."
When the Eternal Holy War was mentioned, everyone immediately became very unhappy. Expanding the army is one thing, but fighting a war is another. It has only been a few days of peace, why is it happening again?
"I just got the confidential information not long ago. The Black Wings and the Wind Elemental God in the south got it together. Their cloud fleet is heading west, looting the passing towns along the way. Actually, the capitals of two medium-sized kingdoms were also attacked.
Disaster. And the one to the north..."
Mentioning the north, as expected, everyone cheered up. 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 my heart. Sure enough, the people of Lan were in trouble. They had just defeated the orc tribe a year ago, and it had only been quiet for a few days. Troublesome things happened again.
"...To the north, there seems to be a tribe that got the support of the God of the Earth Element and suddenly became stronger. That guy named himself the Orc Khan. They should be annexing each other through civil war now. According to the usual practice, I am afraid that a large force to invade the south will just
It’s a matter of time.”
"That's impossible! Ah, Your Highness, I'm not saying you're lying, but this..."
"This is simply a devastating disaster! Your Highness, are your sources sure?"
"Your Highness, is that the orc tribe, the highland orcs or the plains orcs? Have the other northern countries received the news?"
Sure enough, when this bombshell was dropped, the entire conference room immediately became noisy.
The orcs in the north are divided into two areas. The highland orcs are distributed along the Orison Mountains, where the terrain is complex, and more than 70% of the orcs have settled there. The orcs in the Hulan Plain area are relatively dense, although they are smaller in number.
The danger is greater.
If it is the orc tribe in the highlands, there will be at least several countries as barriers, but if it is the orcs in the plains, Donglan has a border with them, and due to historical reasons, that stretch of dozens of kilometers has never been peaceful.
.
Of course, this is not bad. If you are passing through the border of Arashi Country, the two sides are connected directly, and the pressure will be even greater. In the past two hundred years, the highland country Suya Kingdom with barbarian ancestry has risen, together with the neighboring Kingdom of Rodnan,
Forcibly cutting the Orc Great Plains in half really relieved the pressure.
By the way, these two countries are the only two of the seven countries in the far north that have a good relationship with the Donglan Principality. In addition to being regarded as "barbarian countries", their lands are newly developed foreign lands.
, not occupying the territory of the original Land of Arashi, and not having such entangled historical grudges, are the fundamental reasons for the good relationship.
As for the other seven countries in the North, many of them are pioneer lords from the south. They are probably relatives of the seventeen countries that were destroyed. How can they have good relations... at least not as a last resort? Businessmen are
I would not want to come to this "barbarian country".
"The three northern kingdoms, dominated by the aboriginal people of the north (among them there is also the ancient Fengqi Kingdom, with the Southern Kingdom of Rhodes on both sides, and the political stance is slightly tilted towards the north. But the royal family comes from the south)", "the four southern kingdoms (among them Si Luwei)
The Kingdom of Er is a split product of the Land of Arashi, and they emphasize that they are the orthodox of the Land of Arashi). Add in a bunch of small autonomous regions that are not even countries, and you have the chaotic situation in the Northland.
The entire Northland is regarded as barbarians by the major human countries, and there are still constant conflicts between the countries in the Northland, making this bitter cold land a true human border and a place of exile, at least for those so-called autonomous areas, many of which are
A "Land of the Free" composed of bandits and wanted criminals
"...The information actually came from 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. It seems to be called the Blood Ax Tribe."
"Bah, those long-eared people are eager for us to fight to the death with the beasts and barbarians, but we are excluded as always."
"Ha, Siluwell is going to be in bad luck. That traitor deserves what he deserves."
"The same goes for the Principality of Kasomi. The Blood Ax Tribe seems to be not far away from them. But I'm afraid it will involve the Kingdom of Rodnan."
There was a lot of discussion below, and at this point, the meeting had reached a final conclusion.
"Don't be too happy. Although we will not bear the brunt, the possibility of being involved is not low. Once the border is breached, we will still have to face the orc tribe, and we must be prepared according to 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 break by the corridor.
Even though it was already dark, the square not far away was still noisy and 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 its waist and dancing strange dance steps. It seemed that they
We were planning to stay up all night.
All the tasks that can be arranged have been arranged, and I don't have to worry about the rest. The preparations for the military recruitment and the arrangements for the Homecoming Day celebration went smoothly. There was no need for me to worry about having someone responsible for it. The only point of controversy was still the winter hunt I proposed at the end.
.
Only people in the North know that winter beasts and summer beasts are completely different concepts. The beasts driven crazy by hunger are bloodthirsty and crazy, and they are not afraid of any enemies.
If you go crazy with hunger, you can dig a trench to protect the city and they can fill it with flesh and blood. Mutated monsters and super monsters are common in the snowy mountains. Once they go berserk, they will definitely be extremely terrifying enemies.
Spring and autumn in the North are very short. Spring, summer, and autumn combined only last for more than five months. In more than thirty days, the ice season will come again in the snow-covered North. In previous years, in order to deal with the herds of animals, it was best to clear the wilderness with strong walls.
Good idea.
If the herd of beasts forms a beast tide, it will be helpless to move the residents of small villages and towns to big towns. After all, not everything can be brought with them. Villagers who return to their hometowns in the next spring will inevitably see their homes devastated.
.
And large-scale migrations are often extremely dangerous. If you happen to encounter a herd of beasts in the wild that has set off early, or a beast that sets off alone, it may be delivered to your doorstep.
But it is even more unrealistic to ask villagers to give up their homes, livestock, and farmland from the beginning. If they give up once a year, they will still be alive. And the living space around large towns is limited, and the food supply is even more limited.
.
Obviously, the above countermeasures are both passive and have many problems. The winter hunting I proposed can not only obtain a large amount of meat and animal specialties, but also proactively use mobile forces to attack the animal herds, which can also reduce the pressure on the town and greatly encourage them.
There are many benefits to the morale of the people and the army.
Of course, everyone knows these benefits, but they have not been implemented until now. However, it is still a fundamental issue of strength.
Using fortifications in towns to deal with beasts that can only forcefully fight a war of attrition, and dealing with bloodthirsty and cunning beasts in the wild, are completely different concepts. And the reason why my proposal will be opposed by everyone is also
Because of their lack of understanding and lack of confidence in the country's combat capabilities.
"How can a strong army be considered strong without being tested in actual combat? Crazy orcs are easier to deal with than brainless beasts. Even if you worry about the young guys, the new recruits can only grow up quickly if they have veterans with experience in actual combat. I have never seen blood.
No matter how well-equipped our legions are, they can only be regarded as security guards."
I didn't argue with them. After all, words are unfounded. In the end, if you want to convince them, it still depends on your strength. Anyway, I already have the army in my hands, so I'll prepare it first.
By the way, my current status is quite embarrassing. After all, I am the prince of the Land of Arashi. Although the royal family of this country claims to be my descendant and has been recognized by the world, then, from a legal perspective, I really should be
A member of this royal family. But logically speaking, I should be regarded as His Majesty who has abdicated. However, I have neither served as king nor died, so I directly became the Supreme Emperor?
This relationship is so messed up that even the most powerful experts in heraldry (the study of noble bloodlines and family crests) cannot sort out this mess.
As for the military power I now hold, I control it on my behalf as Princess Renee's guardian knight.
Yes, a guardian knight instead of a knight of military merit. After all, not long ago, in order to use Roland's holy sword to prove my identity, I could only ask Renee to help me make a verbal knight. In the end, she was better off and went directly to Difende City Gate.
He made me a guardian knight.
"We are about to enter the city, so we have time to find the Senate to confirm your title and fiefdom. Anyway, there are many precedents for brothers and fathers to serve as guardian knights for single princesses. Brother Roland is also like my elder brother, so just make do with the guardian knights.
.”
When she said this, Renee's little face turned red 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 agent avoids a lot of embarrassment. I thought it was a good idea at the time and even praised Renee.
"She has good adaptability to situations. The little girl is also very clever. Well, she looks like my descendant."
It was obviously a compliment from the bottom of my heart, but I don’t know why as soon as I said this, Kelly and Renee’s faces turned dark, and some of the undead army behind them laughed out loud.
Okay, let's get back to the subject. At least Renee's status as agent gives me, who does not have an official position, a little more confidence when convening executive meetings.
In fact, there are still many things that are simply not convenient to talk about in meetings, but I have already started working on them.
"Now that Roland's Holy Sword, which is a symbol of royal power, has reappeared, Donglan should be able to talk about orthodoxy and merger with the several small split countries of the Lan Kingdom. And the Altar of Ice and Evil in the snow-capped mountains has been there for more than three hundred years.
I don’t know how many new ice monsters have accumulated, and it’s time to create a real Aurora Knight. These two things can only be accomplished by myself."
Trouble comes one after another. At this time, I miss Eliza infinitely. As long as she is here, I can rest assured that I can be the hands-off shopkeeper...or take some time to chat with her.
[System prompt: Your suicide attempt has reached the limit... Well, I am really not here this time to complain about your suicide attempt, but I have another daily mission, please accept it.]
[Ding, daily task: Today's unlucky guy, please punish at least three villains who have committed evil deeds. Depending on the identity of the punishment target, 1-100 destiny points will be awarded. There is no upper limit. But if it is not completed, 1000 points will be deducted directly.
——You don’t need to do the daily routine because you have more destiny points recently and you are not afraid of deductions? If you still fail this daily routine, 10,000 points will be deducted directly if you fail next time.】
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 villain and punish him. Just find a criminal in prison. However, due to the celebration of the Return Day, the amnesty order has just been issued. Where to find a criminal?
Criminal.
If you go looking for it now, the God's notice of the innocent land will ring in your ears. Even the most insane villain will fear the power of God and restrain himself for a while.
"It seems that I have to admit that I am unlucky. The cheating system must be unhappy with me and want to punish me. A thousand points will be a thousand points, but I have to be careful with the ten thousand points tomorrow...Pfft!"
The scene in front of me made me spit out the tea. It even made me rub my eyes. I wondered if I was seeing hallucinations.
It was a group of men running, and there were many familiar figures among them, and the one leading the way was the tall and powerful tauren.
"Returning to nature and walking with the wind is the true nature of us tauren. My real name is not important. Please call me Son of the Wind! Come on. Friends, please join this wonderful galloping against the wind."
Not surprisingly, there were many guards chasing behind these bastards, and in addition to wooden sticks, they were wielding messy clothes and pants.
"Sir, at least put on your underwear, underwear, underwear!" The city guard's call echoed in the streets, and my face immediately turned green.
"Wind... Son of the Wind, you are so big! Is it because this is the underground world? How many tauren are there in the entire Difende? You should have joined the gang from the beginning. The supreme judge led the team to run naked. You let the judge of the Law Church
How will we behave tomorrow? I thought you could hold it in for a few days, but now you can’t bear it anymore? It’s unfortunate for our family!”
So, I picked up the Silver Avenger without hesitation.
"I understand, it turns out that the system is not unhappy with me, but with that stupid cow! Okay, I will clean up the door today."
[Ding, your guess is good, but there is no prize. The system continues to prompt, think more about why the task requires at least three people to complete the task without a cap. Yes, because of the miraculous Innocence City, those local criminals will indeed have to restrain themselves for a while.
, but have you forgotten that there is also a group of weirdos who are best at guessing and dancing on the boundary line of the law?】
"Do you want to be the envied master of fireworks? Do you want to understand the secrets of festivals from the underground world? They are safe, reliable, and dazzling. Safety brand fireworks are on sale. You deserve it!"
Well, the villains selling dangerous goods and counterfeit goods have appeared.
"Hmph, it's time for us to understand our grudges. I want to avenge my lover No. 38!" Standing against the wall holding a bow was a half-dragon hunter with quite an expert demeanor.
"Ha, don't think that I will be afraid of you if you advance to Legend. A real hunter will never be afraid of the strength of his prey. That will only make us happier. Huh, your weakness has been exposed to my eyes a long time ago. The next moment
, is the day you die." This is an old dwarf hunter. Although he looks ordinary, the silver shotgun is obviously not a mortal thing.
On the street stall nearby, a goblin was shouting hard.
"The grudges and grudges from thirty years ago are understood overnight, and a peerless battle is about to take place. The Kabbalah Gambling Bureau is accepting various bets. Bet on the legendary half-dragon to win, and pay two for the next one. Bet on the ace archer to win, and pay three for the next one.
If you bet that both parties will die together, you will pay ten for the next bet; if you bet that both parties will laugh and forget their grudges, you will pay a hundred for the next one..."
Okay, there are gambling fraudsters and private fights. After hearing this, I already know what I should do. In the underground world, before the face of the Law Church is thrown into the gutter by these bastards, we must seize the time.
Cleaned up a bit.
"Well, can I bet that the duel was terminated due to special reasons?"
"Of course, the odds are seven to one, but the outcome of letting go of grudges with a smile is not included." The proud Kabala just looked up and saw me, and his smiling face immediately turned into tears.
"You...shouldn't you be in a meeting?"
But I just dropped a bag of gold coins and hit him on the head.
"Keep it for me. I'll ask you for the bonus after I deal with these bastards!"
Well, what followed was a night of repression that I loved to see. After running out of breath, I immediately made rebuilding the urban management troops 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 supreme bishop's streaking was destined to become a stain on the legal church, but this is how this dark history will be recorded in future history.
"During the Homecoming Day celebration in 1897, because he was really happy for the knights who had returned to their hometown, Snowhoof, who was the supreme bishop at the time, drank too much during the celebration, and then became immoral after drinking. Although he did not violate discipline, he ordered it to punish him.
Himself, he hung himself upside down from the highest flagpole in the palace for three days and three nights."
"The world admired his noble virtues of upholding the law and being strict with himself. They called him the 'Just Hanged Man'. Hanging him upside down on a flagpole has become every judge's path-finding practice when he is confused. And for
To commemorate this great story, returning to the Wind Rush has become a traditional custom, and of course, most participants will still wear a pair of underwear." (To be continued...)
