"Can these things really scare His Majesty the Fourth King?"
A few miles away, in the center of Burgundy, lies the top bedroom of Edward's Black Tower.
The half-elf lady was lying on her back on the couch, holding a large ball of marshmallows and tearing them into her mouth piece by piece. She stared at the illusion rising in a piece of crystal in front of her, vaguely looking at the surrounding people.
several people asked.
However, the question was not answered immediately - in fact, everyone in the room was absent-minded, so after a pause, she simply stretched out her foot to kick Dahni, who was also sitting next to her: "Rotten melon,
What do you think?"
"Look with your eyes, Mao Yatou."
The drow stretched his waist, his voice full of lazy charm:
"If this situation can be accurately transmitted back, maybe... Our steel forging field is enough to scare those magicians. But this viscount is obviously not very capable.
What a useless little girl, this King
Isn't it said that I'm Edward's friend? I seem to have gotten a lot of help from him... But what on earth did he think that he would let such a little girl come to spy on our situation? In other words, the mastermind is just talking nonsense. In fact,
Is this guy not a spy at all?"
"She is most likely just a means to make us despise us. I think there may be better spies hidden among her soldiers."
The next person to talk was Claudia. The female knight's thinking was sharp and accurate, and she had richer experience in analyzing military intentions: "In addition, they are more likely to be just a cover to attract our attention. What we really need to pay attention to are those who are
Or people who have already sneaked into the city, so I suggest that it is best to use the urban management brigade to conduct a thorough investigation of all new people in the city. In recent times, we have absorbed too many war refugees. But we have not conducted too many
With careful investigation, it would be too easy for those spies to sneak in."
"It's not that simple... Of course, things like tanks and artillery are not easy to hide... and it is no longer a secret to Tuminis, although they also hide it very closely.
But His Majesty, the young King, was able to achieve a series of 'miraculous victories' relying on these things."
Anna Sui, who had been sitting behind a large desk, looked at a stack of pattern papers on the table and responded casually: "In fact, Edward seemed to attach great importance to his friend and gave him a lot of support... But it was because of them
We already have something similar, and only the intelligence we reveal can have a deterrent effect on them. Knowing that our artillery is farther than theirs and more powerful, they will not attack easily."
"It's really boring. In fact, why don't we just let Tuminis's gang call? Since he thinks he has some ability... In fact, he is the only one who is most suitable as a target now.
"
"I do not recommend unnecessary killing, Miss Dahne."
Anna Sui raised her head from the pile of drawings and brushed her hair back from her ears - this subtle movement made her look capable and steady, but also more feminine: "We are with Tuminis. Or the Empire.
There is no need for one force to form irresolvable conflicts, it is enough for them to understand that we are not their meaningful target."
"On the contrary, I am more in favor of Miss Dahne's proposal."
Claudia shook her head slightly: "Actually, in order to better defend, a war to show our strength is necessary. Our strength does seem to be too weak, and the position is too sensitive, whether it is the New Empire
.Neither the Capital Region nor Tuminis can tolerate us being a faction of our own. And some of the displays... our weapons
And so on. But it will make them even more greedy. As long as they get this city, they will have an impenetrable fortress, a steady supply of weapons, a population of 100,000, and what they think is abundant food, even if I
Even if I lead the army myself, I cannot allow such a city to be occupied by an unknown group of people."
"And best of all, they can try those nasty tricks but no one will retaliate even if they lose, right?"
Dahne chuckled, making Anna Sui frown.
The experience of falling back from the star realm to the main material plane was simply an unbearable disaster, and compared with the subsequent situation, it seemed to be nothing. Being at the intersection of three forces, it happened that
But she couldn't ignore the refugees from the war. Even though the empire had fallen apart, Anna Sui still kept her aristocratic beliefs and tried her best to help the refugees from the war. As a result, the city became increasingly bloated.
It also brought her more troubles.
Population management, food sources, diversion, housing... If this city hadn't left her with quite a lot of valuable resources, I'm afraid there would have been a big problem by now, right?
"Actually, the solution is very simple. Let the Marilyn master take action and kill one or two groups of unlucky guys. Naturally, these guys will stop immediately. Isn't that what we did when we started?" Miss Half-Elf
Obviously not interested in the discussion, she stuffed the candy into her mouth and picked up a piece of fruit from the table: "The problem now is that those guys don't really believe that we have a teacher here, so they all want to come
It’s a trial and error, so now she has to show her face?”
"But Master Marilyn hasn't returned to Burgundy for a month." Anna Sui sighed.
Lisa's suggestion was the most practical and effective. In fact, one of the sources of her worries was that a lot of the intelligence that was gradually coming back clearly pointed out that the New Empire had added several "suspected" division figures... and
Not to mention the side of the empire's capital circle. In addition, the imperial electorate legions under their control are also constantly expanding. This is a completely unavoidable problem.
"Really? I thought she wouldn't go anywhere else but your bedroom? But maybe she's been getting closer to the dragon lately?"
The sharpness in the half-elf's words made Anna Sui's brows frown even more.
Regarding her relationship with Marilyn... to be precise, her relationship with Gardenia. This half-elf lady has always been quite dissatisfied, but Anna Sui doesn't understand why she is dissatisfied at all - although in fact.
This awkward relationship has become a lot indifferent due to her own resistance, but this matter is no longer a secret at all.
If it wasn't because I was too tired that time, I accidentally forgot to remind her to seal the door and silence... But why was it the half-elf lady who discovered it? Or... this was simply a premeditated action by the teacher, in order to let this person
Has this relationship become an established fact?
But...but I have never dealt with this kind of thing...
The thoughts in her mind suddenly became chaotic. Just thinking about it, it seemed as if something had condensed into a substance and slowly moved around her body, which made her upset and her cheeks felt as hot as burning.
"I mean, little girl, why do you always care so much about Miss Anna Sui? Isn't it just an occasional show of friendship between girls?" The awkward silence lasted for a while, but Dahni immediately chuckled.
He spoke loudly: "Speaking of which, you and I also had a good time, just like last ten days..."
"Shut up!" Miss Lisa screamed and suddenly jumped up from the bench, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. But she immediately realized that her performance was somewhat cover-up: "That...
Damn rotten cantaloupe, stop talking nonsense! I have no interest in talking to you..."
"Really? Didn't you praise me at that time and say that my skills were very powerful?"
"It's so noisy! Shut up, shut up, shut up... You damn guy brought this on yourself!"
"But you didn't resist, didn't you? If you really don't want it, just say no, right? Moreover, your reactions have become more and more skillful recently, and it looks okay. What do humans say? Oh, 'Le
Among them, isn't it? Your waist is so weak that you can't straighten it up. When Edward comes back, you can really play with him..."
"Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear those two pieces of your stuff apart!"
The menacing half-elf held its claws with both hands, and slammed into Dahni like an angry cat, but the drow priest seemed to have been familiar with her reaction. With the same lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, and the two
Miss Elf suddenly fell into a stalemate, but this did not stop Zall from continuing to speak:
"...She's not Edward's thing yet. Why do you have to look after that guy? If she really becomes Edward's...don't you have to share less? It's already enough now.
, and I don’t know how many cute girls Edward found in the outer world this time. I heard that there are types of demons and demons that are specially used to seduce men, and there are many famous female demons. Let me see, say
Maybe it’s because of this that he doesn’t want to come back at all…”
"Bite you to death!"
"Please be quiet!"
A muffled bang stopped this increasingly absurd farce, and a light blush appeared on Claudia's fair cheeks, but her slender brows were furrowed and her voice was as cold as ice: "What we are discussing is related to this.
It’s a big issue about the survival of a city. It doesn’t matter if you two can’t provide opinions, but please don’t disturb us!”
"In short, I think the way we can show our power now does not necessarily have to rely on... her." Anna Sui breathed out softly and brought the topic back to its original track: "Miss Lisa, Bellaire
Can’t Your Majesty Na grant us some miracles?”
"Your Majesty, most of the responses she gives me now are extremely simple things. I really don't know what's going on!"
Giving her old enemy a fierce look, the half-elf lady snorted: "Maybe something big happened again. Recently, His Majesty's requirements for believers have increased more and more. However, those guys sent out to preach are really capable.
It’s not that great. So far, it has only influenced less than 3,000 people... It’s not surprising that Your Majesty is not satisfied.”
"Don't look at me. I am no longer the chosen one of His Majesty Rose. She has abandoned me." Dahne sighed: "Besides, I feel that even if we can perform a miracle or something, it won't be enough."
It may dampen the ambitions of those guys. Although God's favor is good, it is not as good as a division that can protect the place at any time."
That is to say, there is currently no way to suppress the covetousness of the three surrounding forces.
Anna Sui sighed in her heart.
But the fact is the fact. No matter how much you urge now, it won't be of much help to the current situation. The only thing left is to see the reaction of the surrounding people.
So, it seems that this meeting can end here. If it continues, the attention of the two pastor ladies will still be involved in some strange things...
Thinking about it, Anna Sui gathered the things on the table in front of her and stood up. She stretched out her hand and pressed, and an orange-red earth elemental creature flowed out from the corner of the table and lazily wrapped around her wrist: "It's time, I'm going to inspect...
…If you stay here, don’t give random orders.”
Having ruled Burgundy as the acting city lord for more than a year, Anna Sui has developed many habits - regular city patrols are one of them.
After leaving the gate of the mage tower, the body of the earth elemental creature slowly expanded and turned into a horse-like shape, leading her forward slowly.
Of course, after the size of the entire city has expanded more than eight times, even with this convenient transportation tool, patrols are no longer running around the entire city as before. Most of the time, Anna Sui just follows some specific routes.
The route - such as Central Street and Zhongcheng District - is just a circle, but this simplified inspection is not just symbolic - the staff lady always believes that her appearance in the city itself is the biggest event.
The significance can strengthen the mentality of citizens little by little, especially in this chaotic time.
Out of compassion and the need to expand believers, Burgundy has always adopted an attitude of trying its best to accommodate war refugees... Such a large-scale operation to accommodate refugees has indeed brought many believers and potential believers of the Dark Lady. But it has also made
The size of the entire city has nearly tripled...and this amount of population growth has obviously shaken the foundation of Burgundy's rule.
Burgundy originally had only about 3,000 city guards, a relatively high proportion compared to the 50,000 residents. They were both capable of management and use, but now that the population and city defense scale have increased significantly,
.These reliable manpower have gone all out to maintain law and order in the city, and they are beyond their capabilities. The city's defense work has also exposed its weaknesses.
Recruitment has been ongoing, but refugees are not a good source of recruits. Although more than 5,000 recruits have been recruited this year, Burgundy's excellent weapons production capacity can easily arm them, but most of them
The new soldiers were not satisfactory.
Of course, it is not a requirement for their force or physical strength... They can now, like the veterans, wear half-body armor and carry weapons, run around the city defense for ten miles, and can also operate the ballistae or trebuchet on the city wall.
Even some guys with good abilities can compete with veterans in a one-on-one duel... But their momentum, spirit, or something that Anna Sui can't say will always make those veterans, and even erectile dysfunction.
The common people of Gendy saw the difference.
Or what Claudia, who was responsible for training them, said, would be more accurate.
"These guys, even if they are well trained, are just soldiers trained by me, not Edward's soldiers."
No one seems to be able to tell what the difference between these two types of soldiers is.
But no matter what, actual combat experience is also a very important part - this is also an important reason why Claudia strongly advocates starting a war.
A slight tilt of her body made Anna Sui raise her head and noticed that the earth element had carried her up the wall of the castle - this was once the outer city wall of Burgundy, but now, it has been increased and reinforced to become the upper city.
It is separated from the central area.
Her eyes stayed for a while on the horizon divided by the wall outside the city, and Anna Sui shook her head slightly.
The dangers of actual combat are somewhat unpredictable - in this area where various forces are intertwined, a single message error may cause heavy losses to the team, and may also be regarded as a dangerous provocation to certain forces. If there are too many, they will be found.
If there are no suitable opponents, and if there are too few, it is very likely that they will be surrounded and annihilated by various forces that are on alert everywhere.
Although there are many new weapons called artillery, which are not inferior to mages, Burgundy currently lacks the manpower to use and manufacture these things——
If possible, Anna Sui also hopes that they can travel with artillery. However, artillery weapons are not perfect... The biggest problem is that the production of those artillery shells is very time-consuming. A high mage can only make a dozen or so per day.
It’s just rounds, and the mages still need to build and complete the main defense array, as well as the anti-teleportation array in the new city, etc., so our current storage capacity is about more than 2,000 rounds, and these are used on more than 200 artillery pieces.
It can only support about two battles at most."
So the intention of showing the power of those artillery pieces to Tuminis was still just to scare people...
In addition, there is food...
Most of the food is purchased from the New Empire using armor, but the price is completely disproportionate. A set of armor can currently only be exchanged for about three hundred pounds of food, and the New Empire continues to lower the price. Due to the war, the Empire
The harvests in several major grain-producing areas have been significantly reduced this year, so the grain that can be exchanged is now very limited. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
