What surprised Adrian himself was that this incident did not seem to affect Adrian's mentality at all, or even stir up his emotions. When he just heard the patriarch announcing his wedding date, he
The reason why he jumped up directly was actually because of this kind of thing. There should be no one who wouldn't jump up, but he quickly calmed down, even if he blushed when he saw the spirit, this may also be because Adrian has been a virgin for two lifetimes.
The reason is that it is said that a twenty-year-old virgin is a magician who can destroy the world, so Adrian has been able to destroy the world many times. Adrian stood there for a few more seconds, staring at the place where the spirit disappeared.
After a while, he went to wash up as if nothing happened and quickly fell into dreamland.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and no one will deliberately hide it, even if it is a good thing, especially for the servants, vassals and free people in the territory, the lord of his family is going to marry a supreme king from Aeasta.
His Majesty the Sun Elf seemed to be a great honor, so they were eager to let everyone with headphones know about it. Therefore, after Adrian opened his eyes the next morning, everyone in the territory knew about this great honor.
Even those who were stationed in the farm knew the news. It was Huntelaar who sent flying shooters to inform.
As a result, the entire Solar Storm Territory fell into a huge carnival, just like a festival. Well, this was really a big event. This also caused Adrian to receive countless requests for a meeting as soon as he walked out of the bedroom. This is
The senior officials under him all wanted to congratulate him in person, but Adrian was not interested in it, so he sent Alice to send them all away. Only Mr. Bryant was received by Adrian because he was not here to congratulate him.
Adrian, he has business to discuss here.
Adrian met Mr. Bryant while having breakfast, so Mr. Bryant successfully got a breakfast that belonged exclusively to the lord. He likes delicious food and the best green tea, which should be Mr. Bryant's only
Interested, Mr. Bryant put the last big mouthful of beef porridge into his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was reminiscing about the food made by Baggins and Doriel's son Vera.
The delicious taste of beef porridge, and then in Adrian's speechless eyes, Mr. Bryant said in a somewhat vague voice: "I still want to congratulate you first, Lord, then..."
Adrian waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him, saying: "If you are here just to have breakfast and talk about this, then you can go back to your duties, Mr. Bryant,
There’s nothing to brag about, I think we still have a lot of business to deal with.”
Mr. Bryant smacked his lips rudely and said: "With your attitude, aren't you afraid of angering His Highness Ling, who will become the mistress of the territory in a few months? Lord, I have also been fooled by you.
, I discovered after marrying Lily that women are such difficult creatures, I would even rather lead a small team to conduct in-depth investigations on the Sento Mountains."
Mr. Bryant's complaint did not resonate with Adrian, and he said nonchalantly: "Then, in order to prevent you from having to lead a team to go deep alone one day, let's discuss the western region, especially the Tower Mountains.
The defense issue at our feet, Mr. Bryant, I remember last night we only discussed the defense issues of the farm and the town over there, but I think the defense inside the forest is also very important. We can't put all our hopes in the farm and the town.
In a small town, in that case, once a small town or farm is attacked, even if it is successfully defended in the end, it will cause a lot of losses, what do you think?"
Mr. Bryant put down the porridge bowl, first nodded to Alice who poured him a cup of green tea and took away the tableware, and then said to Adrian: "I agree with you, Lord, I guess
Even after the World Twin War officially begins, as long as the defense line on the Sento Tower Mountains is not lost, then our territory will be safe. After all, Du Wei has not broken through the Sento Tower Mountains for 50,000 years, so we are armed according to the current standards.
The small towns and farms are actually sufficient. Even if Duwei appears in our territory, it should only be a small force. Even if there is a legendary strongman taking the lead, it is not that there are no legendary strongmen on our side to deal with it. To be honest, I
I have never seen anyone whose strength can match yours. Actually, every farm and town is guarded by legendary strong men. Well... As for the defense in the forest, or patrolling, my idea is that we should still
We can recruit two more brigades of 2,000 temporary hunter attendants."
Adrian thought for a while and said: "Don't be so petty and just recruit two thousand permanent hunter attendants. After all, the forest is our home field, and the home field is the hunting ground. In the forest, hunters are undoubtedly our most cost-effective unit.
"
Mr. Bryant hesitated for a moment and said: "It is not difficult to recruit another two thousand people. Countless young people train themselves as much as possible every day, in order to be recruited by you soon? I believe that once the recruitment order is issued,
, there will be at least 20,000 young people in the hunter profession to apply. However, Lord, you must also consider our financial affordability. If we recruit another 2,000 hunters permanently, this year's military budget will not be enough, or even
Many budget items will be cut..."
Adrian burst out laughing. It turned out that Mr. Bryant was making this idea. Based on his understanding of Adrian's character, how could he come up with such a plan to recruit temporary hunter attendants? It turned out that it was just to let Adrian go.
Let him fight for the military budget from the two Huntelaar brothers. In fact, this is not that Huntelaar is stingy, or that his predecessor, Ralph, is stingy. It is actually because although the Solar Storm Territory has tea trade and emerald sugar trade,
A hen that lays golden eggs, but it also costs a lot. After universal education was popularized, Adrian even distributed a magic crystal to every teenager receiving education every two months.
Therefore, those servants, vassals and children of free people who want to become Adrian's servants are not entirely for the purpose of getting ahead. There are many teenagers who are grateful and fanatical worship of Adrian, but they have the ability to do everything.
On the face of it, Adrian has gained invincible centripetal force in the territory by doing this, but the pressure on finances has been great. In order to balance the finances every year, the former Ralph and the current Huntela
They have not stopped working hard, and careful calculation of military budget expenditures is a cost-saving plan they have been clinging to.
Therefore, at the budget meeting at the beginning of every year, Mr. Bryant has to quarrel with Ralph, and he cannot implement all his projects, so it is a lie for him to come here today to get the freight budget.
Really, but can Adrian be fooled by him? Of course not, Adrian can't keep up with Mr. Bryant when it comes to tactical planning and flattery, but when it comes to magic crystals, Adrian is the old fox, so Adrian
An said: "The military budget is not a problem. Mr. Bryant, as you know, we have sent the head of the Duwei Beholder to St. Eiland. It is estimated that the entire Glenson Tower will soon start the World Twin War.
reserves, so the prices of tea, emerald sugar, and portable military rations will definitely rise. If Huntelaar and others make money, the military budget will not be small."
Adrian felt at ease when he painted the cake, but Mr. Bryant was extremely depressed. What's the difference between this and not asking for it? I will definitely give it to you, but not now? Is that what you mean? That's not the case.
Adrian is stingy and is reluctant to invest budget in the military, but the guys in the General Staff have gone too far and have even begun planning to build a second military academy. You must know that before the military academy in the Solar Storm Territory was established, the entire Foehn Wind
·There is only one military academy in the Nibelungen in the Great Southwind Forest of the Windflee family. There used to be only four military academies on the entire south coast. This is a good thing, but I just feel that there is no need. One military academy is enough.
Yes.
Seeing that Adrian was not fooled, Mr. Bryant could only temporarily give up on some projects that were not imminent in his mind, and then brought up another matter. He said: "There is one more thing, Lord, what is the matter?"
How to solve the gap and the secret road, which is the road where the Duwei came. I feel that it would be a pity to blow it up and seal it directly. It seems that it can be used. Think about it, if we can control this road.
If you hold it in your hand, you seem to have a sharp sword that can penetrate Du Wei's rear at the critical moment. Don't you want to do it at the critical moment?"
Adrian touched his chin and said: "But it seems too dangerous. If the beholder can open this road, maybe thousands of Duwei will also come along this road. When the time comes,
Our territory is at risk of facing the Duwei army."
Mr. Bryant said without thinking too much: "It is possible, Lord, but it is unlikely. I have carefully studied the confession of the beholder. First of all, he was sent because he offended the leader of the wasteland wanderers.
He came out to die. In other words, the leader of the wasteland wanderers had made plans not to go back, and he did not go back. So the leader of the wasteland wanderers should not have thought that this secret passage could still be walked.
Generalist, right, so the probability that a large number of Duwei will come here through this secret passage is very small. At most, some guys who have also offended the leader of the wasteland wanderers are sent here to die. We only need to send an elite hunter.
A mixed squadron of archers and a team of earth and stone elf mages are enough to guard the exit of the secret passage. When weighed together, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages."
Adrian thought for a while and said: "Okay, I agree, but the one sent to guard the exit of the secret passage cannot be a mixed squadron, but five squadrons, and it must be the elite among the elite. Let's do this, one
A squadron of elite hunters, two squadrons of elite archers, and three squadrons of wood elf warhammer warriors, together with two squads of earth and stone elf mages. With this configuration, even if we cannot hold on, we should be able to buy time for subsequent troop reinforcements, right?
, I strictly ordered the garrisoned troops not to enter the secret passage privately without my own order."
Mr. Bryant hesitated: "But it doesn't seem possible without entering the secret passage. Lord, we still need to conduct an in-depth exploration of the secret passage. Otherwise, it will be of no value if it cannot be accessed at the critical moment, so we still need to conduct an in-depth exploration of the secret passage.
…”
"It's not necessary for the time being. It's just that Duwei has become active now. There should still be decades before the war begins. This secret passage is of great importance and must be fully prepared before exploration can be carried out. This matter requires a detailed investigation.
The tactical plan, Mr. Bryant, is your business."
Mr. Bryant nodded in agreement, and then hesitantly said: "Lord, can't you really take out a sum of magic crystals from your private property? You know, adding to the burden of two thousand people
It will really overwhelm the general staff. If it doesn't work, I'll write you an IOU..."
Adrian turned his head to look out the window, his eyes became deep. After looking for a while, he turned to look at Mr. Bryant, and then pretended to be startled: "Hey, Mr. Bryant, why are you here again?"
