Lorraine thought to herself, not to mention three hundred miles in five years, even during my term of office, the Nai'an border can be pushed southward for two hundred miles, and Catherine and Adele's betrothal gift can be considered as earned.
It is a lie to say that I am not tempted. The credit for opening up new territories is the most attractive to every border governor. This credit can increase dozens of percentage points in a year compared to some chicken's fart, and the tax payment is exceeded.
Tasks, etc. These common tasks that can be repeated and accepted are much better.
Not to mention a lot of reputation rewards, upgrades, money, and even hereditary hats.
Without seeing the Eastern Front, the Julian Archduke was fighting vigorously. The more he fought, the more courageous he became, and the more he fought, the stronger he became.
As for Delun in the north, needless to say, the Northern Expeditionary Army has already reached the thirteenth time.
Lorraine shook his head, put aside the temptation for the time being, calmed down and asked: "Well, you can tell me how I can make the orcs listen to me and farm my land and pay taxes honestly."
"As long as you defeat the evil Dulci people, and we Aquitan people raise our arms and respond to your call, the tribes on the grassland will naturally fall at your feet." Galba looked like it was natural.
said.
Lorraine chuckled and said, "To put it simply, if you tell me, the Dulci people are both black shamans and a coalition of hundreds of tribes. It won't be easy to defeat them."
Galba stood up straight, assumed the posture of a shaman, and said solemnly: "I am a prophet, sir. The soul of the ancestor told me that the Durci people who have taken refuge in the darkness are committing suicide. Durci
The Qi people are vulnerable to powerful humans."
Lorraine curled his lips. He had lived two lifetimes, but he knew one truth: You can't believe what a magician says.
However, when he thought of expansion, Lorraine's heart became hot again. Damn Aquitan, orcs, and black shamans. He had to earn out the bride price and marry these two little goblin-like wives back home.
real.
Lorraine would not simply believe that the prospect was as good as the wrinkled old guy opposite him described. It was as if after a battle, the orcs would eat the pot of pulp to meet the king's division as soon as the army moved in, and then
You can collect money, land and people by yourself.
Moreover, this old guy kept saying "We Aquitaine" and "We Aquitaine" etc., obviously reminding Lorraine of their importance.
But in any case, for Lorraine, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and although Galba, on behalf of the people of Aquitaine, kept deceiving Lorraine.
But Lorraine knew clearly that half-orcs were white-eyed wolves, and he had already prepared the conditions to keep these Aquitan people firmly in his hands and use them for his own use.
"Okay, you convinced me. Please sit down, we can talk about the terms now." Lorraine sat up straight and said to Galba solemnly.
Galba took a heavy breath, then suddenly relaxed, looking listless, then reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and sat down tremblingly opposite Lorraine.
Lorraine folded her hands, stared into Galba's eyes, and said, "I remember you just said that you Aquitaine people will accept all our conditions. Is that so?"
Galba sighed sadly and said bitterly: "Yes, sir. This is the difference between me and Delino Pang. I am aware of the current situation of our Aquitan people. On the grassland, we will be besieged by everyone.
On your border, as you said, humans are more willing to take our heads to collect the reward.
We Aquitaine people have reached the end of the rope. We can't even survive this winter. It's ridiculous that Delino still naively believes that Aquitaine can still regain its strength as long as it survives two or three years.
But he didn't understand that no one would give us two or three years.
We are not qualified to negotiate terms with you. There are more than 8,000 women and children in the Aquidan tribe. In order to survive, we can only accept your asylum.
If we stay on the grassland, our entire tribe will become slaves of the Durchi people. The Aquitan tribe may no longer exist here, but we Aquitan people can still live freely."
Lorraine waved her hand and said: "Stop it, stop it, don't say it so tragically. When you are desperate, you are desperate. I am not a fighter for the free world, nor do you want to save all mankind like Younet died, but those who are everywhere are democratic
Someone else's guy has a good saying: Freedom never comes without a price."
Like a profiteer, Lorraine put on a smile that said "I'm all for your own good" and said, "It's not easy to make a living here~!"
Galba nodded and said respectfully: "We Aquitan people have always heard of the Lord Governor's wisdom and wisdom."
Lorraine knew that except for a few people around him, his reputation in the human world was basically around zero. Whenever someone praised him, he would feel suspicious. At this moment, he was full of suspicion and thought to himself: Is this guy praising me?
Why are you scolding me?
Then he stared at Galba carefully for a while, and saw that he had a face that was ready to kill or shave you, and he had a look of risk-taking.
Lorraine raised her index finger and said: "First, move inland and become an official resident of the Ruman Empire. I will arrange villages and land for you, teach you farming, and give you farm tools. But one thing is, these are not
Free.”
Galba wailed and thought to himself: It seems that the rumors are true. This master is really a master who does not suffer at all.
Galba smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, we have no money, no furs, no livestock, and even some food rations left."
Lorraine shook her finger and said: "If I lend it to you, you can pay it back in five years. If there is a natural disaster, you can postpone it."
I did this to set a rule. Human beings are not taken advantage of. They can no longer survive in the grassland. They come to me to say they are loyal and want my things. When they are full, they run back to the grassland. When they are hungry, they come back to take it for free. Then I treat it as me.
What is this, the agency canteen?"
"If you want to pay in installments..." Galba thought about it carefully, raised his head and said seriously: "We can agree, but you can't cheat us on the price."
Lorraine was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she slapped the table, making Galba tremble in fright.
"Is this governor such a worthless person? I still look down upon your orcs' three walnuts and two dates."
Although Galba secretly complained in his heart: Your reputation in the past was not good, but on the surface, he quickly nodded and bowed, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you are wise."
Lorraine snorted, and then said: "Actually, if you look at the "Land Development Reward Ordinance" I promulgated, you will know that if you reclaim those wastelands, not only will you not ask for money, but I will also give you rewards."
Galba's eyes flashed, he flattered Lorraine repeatedly, and said with a smile: "There is also such a good thing. Sir, you are really far-sighted, wise and wise. This is simply the gospel for us half-orcs. As long as you push this policy forward
Grassland, why worry about those orcs not being obedient, sir, you are just too..."
Lorraine rolled his eyes and said: "You are so wise. I said you orcs don't even know how to flatter you, just this word over and over again."
Galba's old face was slightly red, and he coughed twice in embarrassment. He thought to himself: This is what I learned now, but I am willing to put up with this old face. On the grassland, there are only people who flatter me.
Lorraine stretched out her fingers and made a sign of two, and said: "Second, all of you adult men over the age of seventeen and under the age of forty must be broken up and incorporated into our garrison in Nai'an.
Once you become one of us, we will naturally treat you fairly. You orc soldiers will be treated the same as our soldiers, with monthly military pay and weapons and equipment.
But at the same time, orc soldiers must also obey military orders and abide by military laws. If they have military merits, they will be promoted, and if they make mistakes, they will be punished according to military laws.
In short, I will not favor you, let alone discriminate against you."
Galba hesitated for a moment and said: "Well, most of the warriors in our clan don't understand human language. Can we let them..."
Lorraine waved his hand and said resolutely: "This point is non-negotiable. If you don't know, you can learn it. If you don't understand, you can ask. I will send someone to teach them Ruman language and military law regulations. I will not allow a self-contained system.
The orc team exists in our sequence, which is a hidden danger.
And I will deal with all the orcs who come to join me in the future in this way."
Looking at Lorraine's look, Galba knew that there was no need to discuss. He just sighed, lowered his head and said, "Okay, sir, we agree. But you have to guarantee that your subordinates will not discriminate against us orcs."
"Of course," Lorraine said, "I can guarantee that if an orc feels discriminated against, he or she can come to me to appeal."
Galba lamented in his heart: This is the only way. I hope this young official will keep his word.
"Third," Lorraine shrugged and said, "I won't say such ugly things as handing over hostages. Let's just tell the outside world directly. In order to show that I care about you Aquitan people, I will invite the big shots from your clan to Nai.
Settled in Del City. By the way, isn't your clan leader only six years old? Children have poor health, and the conditions here are much better."
Galba shook his head and said, "Sir, what you are saying is really..." Galba scratched his head and thought for a moment, then said, "That's straightforward. But I have a request."
"Tell me about it."
"I hope to stay by your side, sir." Galba said, stroking his chest.
Lorraine gave a long laugh and said, "What? You want to follow me?"
Galba nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, sir. I want to witness the demise of the Dulci people with my own eyes, and I want to reshape the statue of the ancestor of the Holy Shankna.
Besides, I believe that my ability can still be of some help to you, sir."
Lorraine secretly thought: Just because of the ability of the artificial fully automatic lie detector, Leo would also think of letting this guy work for him.
Lorraine nodded and said, "You can stay and be my staff. But let me make it clear first, what are your damn voyeur skills?"
Galba said in a low voice: "It's the soul prophet."
"You can't use it on my family. If you let me know, I will kill your whole family. This is a matter of principle, understand?" Lorraine glared at Galba and said sharply.
Galba nodded quickly and said: "Yes, sir, I promise, in fact, using the eye of the soul is very troublesome. When casting a spell, you can even see it if you get close."
Lorraine rubbed her chin, thought for a while and said: "Speaking of which, I have a character in my hand that I need you to take a look at. I am about to send him out and want to know whether this person is reliable or not."
Galba said bravely: "My lord, just give me your orders."
"Oh, it's a goblin." Lorraine said lightly.
Galba was so shocked that his jaw dropped and he stammered: "Earth... goblin."
Then with a grimace and a reluctant look on his face, the boss pinched his nose and said, "I obey, my lord."
Galba sighed in his heart: That's it, that's all, it's in someone else's hands anyway. Alas, the heroic spirits of the ancestors forgive me and use our sacred talents on the goblins.
Lorraine glanced at Galba and said contemptuously: "Okay, okay, don't worry about it. In the eyes of us humans, you orcs are no more noble than goblins."
Only then did Lorraine give an order to the Imperial Guard: release the orcs and send them back to their residences for strict protection.
The half-orc who had escaped a misfortune touched his neck, shook off the cold sweat on his body, and returned to his residence obediently under the supervision of the guards. He never mentioned Drino again, as if he had never followed the half-orc.
Just like the orc envoy came to Nadel City.
In the evening, I stopped bothering the officers guarding the guild hall. I just went back to bed and shivered under the quilt.
The half-orcs exchanged their experiences in the middle of the night and came up with one sentence: These humans are different from the legends. They are extremely ruthless, especially their governor who really kills people~!
Lorraine settled the Aquitaine people and solved a big trouble.
Although the Aquitaine people have been emphasizing that the Dulci coalition is coming soon, Lorraine neither disbelieves nor fully believes the words of these Aquitaine people. He has to get accurate information before he can make a decision.
.
But Lorraine did not want to be an American on December 7, 1941. Lorraine wrote to General Larry and the city lords of the southern cities that night, warning them that there might be nearly 100,000 orcs heading north, ordering them to be careful.
Be alert, pay close attention outside the border, increase the scope of investigation, and pay attention to any abnormal situations.
At the same time, they stocked up on food and grass and repaired the city's defenses in case there was a large-scale attack by orcs and could hold on to the city.
He also told them that the enemy might have a necromancer, and asked them to recruit people from the church to be prepared.
After all this was done, Lorraine could stretch herself and return to the backyard house to prepare for dinner.
When Lorraine walked into the lounge, she found that the atmosphere inside was strange. Leo made a big splash today and received unanimous praise from Lorraine, Catherine, and Adele. This was simply an unprecedented event.
, Zhengmei was boundless, pulling Milena and Vera to talk about his heroic deeds today.
Catherine held the pen in her hand, but looked absent-minded. She looked up at Adele, and then winked at Lorraine.
Adele had a sullen face, wearing a loose brown dress, her hair tied up, and an uncharacteristically simple look. She was curled up in a large sofa with bare feet. When she saw Lorraine coming in, her pretty little face turned away and stayed away.
Don't look at Lorraine.
Catherine mouthed to Lorraine: "Why are you angry?"
Lorraine smiled. Compared with the charming and charming Adele, this occasionally angry and aggrieved type was actually more endearing.
Lorraine walked over, took Adele's white and slender little hand, pulled her up from the sofa, and leaned into her arms.
Adele snorted and looked away from Lorraine again.
Lorraine patted Adele's back gently, smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"You bully people. People are kind enough to help you, but you still blame them." Adele yelled, her eyes were red, and she looked pitiful.
Lorraine curled her lips, raised her palm and slapped Adele's buttocks, with a "pop" sound.
Adele glared at Lorraine with red eyes and said, "You still hit people."
Lorraine rubbed her fingers and thought to herself: With this feeling, I will never get bored no matter how many times I do it.
Then he glared at Adele and said: "You are still reasonable. You are my woman, and I am not so incompetent that I want my woman to go out and show her face and earn a future for myself. I couldn't control it before, but if you follow me,
You can only dance for me. If other men see it, just like today, I will shoot him."
Adele burst into laughter, punched Lorraine on the chest, and said coquettishly: "How can you be so domineering? I can't dance in front of my grandparents in the future."
Lorraine said confidently: "Even if you are willing, they have to ask for my permission first."
Adele rolled her eyes at Lorraine and said happily: "What kind of temper do you have? It's so stinky."
"Okay, okay," Lorraine held Adele's shoulders, stared into Adele's eyes, and said, "I have wronged you today, and you won't do it again."
"Yes." Adele snorted obediently, nodded heavily, held Lorraine's shoulders, raised her toes and kissed Lorraine's mouth, their lips and tongue entangled.
Vera quickly reached out to cover Leo's Melina's eyes and whispered: "Good boy, don't look at it, you will get needle eyes."
Then seeing how passionately Lorraine and Adele were kissing, she unconsciously licked her lips, thinking to herself: It looks delicious.
Catherine knocked on the table and shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, hey, we are talking about you two, there are children here."
Leo cut it disapprovingly and said, "It's OK, it's OK. Don't go back and forth and chew it three or four times that day. It's not hygienic at all."
Melina lowered her head to avoid Vera's little hand and looked at Lorraine and Adele intently.
Adele blushed and panted slightly, pushed Lorraine away, not daring to look at Catherine's teasing eyes, and shouted to herself: "Let's eat, let's eat, I'm hungry."
At the dinner table, Lorraine told everyone about the content of the meeting with Galba. As expected, Leo was most interested in the humanoid lie detector, and he was not honest about his food. His eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know.
What are you thinking about?
Catherine and Adele stayed away from these godly things, but there was one thing they had to discuss together, and that was: how to report it to Ruman City.
If a foreign race voluntarily surrenders, that is a major event.
