Chapter 739 Battle General of Eight Peaks Mountain
Before Aurora and Theresa came in, Sulia was dealing with internal affairs. After Ryan led the army to leave, all the affairs of the territory were handed over to Sulia for decision-making, and Sulia also showed that she was not a loser.
Given François's internal affairs abilities, the female knight has greatly improved her internal affairs abilities since marrying Ryan, and is extremely skilled in handling many problems, not to mention that she also manages finances.
"The period after the new year is still a slack period for farming. I order Geffen to seize the time and recruit as many serfs as possible to maintain the speed of digging the canal!"
"Is the new batch of food ready? When it is ready, ask Katzenberg to arrange transportation immediately. The troops on the front line are waiting for the food, so there must be no delay!"
"Also, the patrolling troops must not let down their guard and tell Olivier that now is a critical time. We must pay more attention to the security of Mousilon than ever before!"
"Be careful, don't put a large amount of gold and silver into the market all at once, put it in slowly, and tell Steve that the fineness of the coins must be sufficient."
"Let Gasparton pay attention to civil complaints, and there should be no news of the looting of serfs and freedmen. He should also impose strict curfews, pay attention to theft and robbery, and send more manpower."
Orders were sent out one by one by Sulia, and the palace teams appointed by Ryan received the tasks one after another. The beautiful knight queen always had a serious expression. Without Ryan, she had to manage the entire palace well. The Kingdom of Knights is a solid backing for the expeditionary army.
, Sulia forced herself to sort out everything clearly.
Gasparton, the tax collector of Lane, is already very old. It has been almost twenty years since Lane came to Britannia. This tax collector, who was in his forties at the time, is now an old man in his sixties and has become the Duke of Lane.
After that, the white-haired tax collector was already a little overwhelmed. Sulia thought that Gasparton could prepare to retire, but this would have to be discussed between the couple after Ryan returned from the expedition. She and Ryan were one.
The female knight wearing a luxurious queen's dress finished handling the matter at hand. She saw the Lake God Witch Morgiana stepping in from the outside. Today, Morgiana was wearing a smart lilac Lake God Xinlu snow-white fishtail skirt, matched with flesh-colored
Wearing ultra-thin pantyhose and pure white high heels, with a flower crown on her head, Sulia and Morgiana have actually been jointly handling all matters for a while: "What's the matter, Morgiana?"
"Ms. Aurora and Ms. Teresa are waiting outside. They said that there is a letter from the Emperor of the Empire, which they want to hand over to you to open in person." Morgiana sat next to Sulia, the Lake God Witch's
His face was very cold: "Look what these mother and daughter are doing? Ryan and the others are fighting hard on the front line, and they are responsible for delivering messages at the rear."
"Ms. Teresa is not suitable to fight in bad places, and Ms. Aurora...she is only the head of MI7, not Ryan's female courtier or magic advisor. If she doesn't want to go, no one can force her." Su
Leah gently stretched out her hand to tuck her waterfall-like long golden curly hair behind her ears, and picked up the tea cup with an elegant expression: "Let them wait outside for a while, let's talk about what to do next."
Morgiana's green eyes flashed brightly, and at this moment, they reached a certain tacit understanding.
"We have won the Battle of Junku Castle. Currently, a large amount of gold, silver and loot are being continuously transported from Haimen Pass." Sulia carefully reviewed a series of lists, and there were many large-scale seizures.
According to the report, the female knight said to the Lake God Witch: "Can the handling fee be appropriately reduced? To encourage the morale of the expeditionary force?"
"...Okay." Morgiana thought for a while and decided to make a concession: "I can reduce it to 12%."
The seizures of the expeditionary force were divided into two parts. Most of the seizures of the knights and nobles were transported back to their territories through their own channels. The knights themselves would not embezzle their own money, but they also had to pay taxes on the seizures. The fairy in the lake's
Tithes are also valid on seizures.i.e.
In this way, the great nobles sold their stolen goods until their hands cramped, and they counted money until they were happy. François alone, the wealth gained in the war filled his treasury. The father-in-law has recently decided to further promote reforms, and even plans to
Create a new team of Pegasus Knights.
The capture of serf infantry or free people is different. It is difficult for their trophies to be safely delivered to their families. Ryan has also taken this into consideration, so the capture of serf infantry and free people sergeants will be sent through the postal system.
Yes, the Lake Fairy Church provides a guarantee for this, but an additional 15% handling fee is required.
Relying on tithes and fees alone, the income of the Fairy of the Lake Church amounts to tens of thousands of gold crowns.
Seeing that Morgiana was willing to give in, a smile appeared on Sulia's exquisite and beautiful face. The Knight Queen knew that only Ryan in the entire kingdom had this kind of energy. When she thought of this, Queen Sulia wore a light dress under her long skirt.
The little black silk feet of the colored lace stilettos were gently raised to the toes. The female knight thought for a while and then said: "Also, the next war will become more and more difficult. We must try to ensure the confidence and morale of the kingdom.
…How are the sales of the second tranche of Treasury bonds going?”
"As soon as the second phase of the national debt was sold, 80% of it was sold in three days." Morgiana nodded: "Citizens in Curona, Bordero and other cities enthusiastically bought it, and even many small nobles also bought it.
Quite a few.”
"Then prepare to issue the third issue! The third issue of Bafengshan Treasury Bonds is also one-year, with an annual interest rate of 7%." Sulia's green-white jade finger gently hooked her chin: "As for the amount, the initial reservation is
Two hundred thousand gold crowns is enough, we must send a hint that it is first come, first served, and those who come later can only eat soup or even leftovers, and the annual interest rate will be less and less."
"Yes, I think so." Morgiana nodded in agreement. The Lake God Witch thought for a moment and said slowly: "By the way, Sulia, do we need to go to the front line alone?"
"You mean...Laojun?" Sulia quickly understood what Morgiana meant, and the female knight said with a half-smile: "My lord, do you want to see Ryan?"
"If it is useful for the expedition, then why not?" A blush flashed across Morgiana's face, and she calmed her tone: "We always want Ryan and the others to know that we are paying attention to them, right?"
"Just send someone from the church. Morgiana, you really don't need to go there in person." Sulia shook her head: "Now that Ryan is gone, he has also taken away the entire territory and even part of the knight nobles of the Knight Kingdom. Now the kingdom is
This is the time when I need you to take charge."
"Okay." Seeing that Sulia was determined, Morgiana gave up this little trick.
"Let Ms. Aurora and Ms. Theresa come in." Sulia said to Sylvia, the head maid who was standing behind her.
"yes."
Two minutes later, Aurora and Theresa came in, but Sulia and Morgiana were sitting still. Sulia was still looking down at the document, her sea-blue eyes hidden under her golden bangs.
Jaina cast a hostile and cold look at Aurora.
Aurora raised her eyebrows when she saw this. What does this mean?
Unlike her mother, Teresa has always been a little afraid of Sulia. The sorceress quickly took the letter from her mother: "Mrs. Sulia, this is a letter from the Emperor of the Empire, asking you to open it personally."
"Bring it here." Sulia reached out and motioned Aurora and her daughter to sit down. She took the letter and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"No, Mrs. Surya and Her Majesty Morgiana are the ones who are doing the hard work." Theresa sat down with Aurora: "As soon as we got this, we sent it right away."
"Well, let me see." Sulia opened the letter and read it carefully. Both Morgiana and Aurora were waiting for Sulia's reaction.
After a long while, the female knight let out a deep breath: "His Majesty Karl-Franz really gave me a big problem."
"What did the emperor across the mountain say?" Morgiana asked first.
"His Majesty Karl wants to hire a Holy Grail Knight to assist the imperial army in clearing the blood pine forest." Sulia hesitated: "Procedurally, there is no problem with the emperor's request, but now..."
"Can't you refuse?" Morgiana asked.
"It's not impossible. His Majesty Karl's inquiry in this kind of private letter gives us room to refuse." Of course, the smart Sulia knew the emperor's intention of writing this letter: "I just feel that the contract has just been signed, and the empire is number one."
Isn’t it bad that we refuse the first request?”
"I can set the price a little higher." Morgiana suggested very directly.
"That's not good either." Sulia also shook her head: "All the regulations we signed with the empire have been faithfully fulfilled. If we unilaterally increase the difficulty, then the imperial court will definitely try to take countermeasures. This will happen again and again.
, the peaceful situation and trade relations we finally reached will be severely challenged again."
"In this way, Morgiana, you can appropriately increase your request for a certain amount. If the empire has no objections, I will inform the Holy Grail Knight Sir Bayar who is responsible for guarding Lily Island and my cousin Sir Gerold to organize a small group of knights.
The troops crossed the Gray Mountains to support the empire." Sulia quickly made a decision: "As for the security of Sharon Forest and Oka Mountain, there is no need to worry about this. Uncle Angron and the three... Ryan's father
The remaining golden-armored guards are patrolling."
"Yeah." Morgiana nodded in agreement.
"As for Ms. Aurora and Theresa, can you please go to Brunswick? I need to know the sales of national debt and the empire's recent armament and financial situation." Sulia said in the tone of the following order.
: "I also want to get concrete information about the imperial nobles' views on the Great Expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains."
"I will send people to deal with it." Aurora said she understood.
"Ms. Aurora, didn't you hear Sulia's order? I asked you to go, not to send your men." Morgiana said impatiently. The look of the Lake God Witch was very cold: "You can agree, or
You don’t have to agree, it’s your choice.”
"I will go with my mother." Teresa came out to answer the call. The sorceress grabbed Aurora and signaled her mother not to go against Sulia. A trip to the capital of the empire was just a teleportation spell. Wait for a day or two.
Just weeks.
"Very good." Sulia nodded, and the Knight Queen signaled the sorceress and her daughter to get ready.
.........I am Uncle Angron, responsible for patrolling the dividing line of the forest......
February, the old world, the Roof Mountains of the World, the Eight Peaks Mountain, and the City of Eight Pillars.
Goblin warlord Git-Sourweed finally arrived here after going through many difficulties.
Eight Peaks Mountain was once the hub and core node of the dwarven earth network, so this city was once the most prosperous and prosperous city of the dwarves. The dwarves once proudly called it Vara-Azrilungol (i.e. Silver Abyss).
Queen).
No army in the surface world can climb the towering peaks on which the city is located. The kingdom is located in the middle of a bowl-shaped mountain range surrounded by eight pinnacles, hence the name Eight Peaks Mountain. Each pinnacle has a unique name, and the city's upper fortress is located on
The surface of the earth is surrounded by eight peaks
At the bottom of a small valley, a strong and magnificent fortress sits in the middle of the valley like an iceberg peak, but most of the city is deep into the mountains. Most of the city's areas are carved out of the rock, with magnificent grand squares and royal halls inside.
, a network of tunnels stretching for countless miles.
The glory of the past has gone far, and now this place has become an eternal battlefield between the greenskins and the ratmen. In the huge and magnificent hall of the ancestors and dwarves, the giant stone pillars with a height of more than 100 meters are all disadvantages created by the goblins.
In the wooden sky corridor, the dilapidated dwarf stone sculptures were either pushed down and smashed, or they were reduced to a place where greenskins collectively defecate, and the stench was overwhelming.
On the ground are one after another green skin tents made of wooden boards and soil. The green skins usually play here, fight and curse each other. It is a mess. The young ones offer the best pickled farts and mushrooms.
For the green-skinned warlords, when Git-Sour Stomach rides on the seat that he has changed twice
When the wolf mount came to the ancestor hall of Bafeng Mountain and wanted to meet the war general of Bafeng Mountain Skarsnik, a big mess was going on in the ancestor hall. The Orcs and Goblins of the Evil Moon Clan were having sex.
There is a huge melee, as well as the powerful Arachnari giant spider and the huge squig herd.
Git-Sourweed scratched its head desperately, holding on to its boogers, looking for a way to get in. Finally, it summoned up all its mana and released one of Brother Mao's Marked Stinky Faces, and then the greenskins got out of the way.
Kit-Sour Stomach rushed in quickly.
Skarsnik, the war general of Eight Peaks Mountain, was sitting on the throne in the ancestral hall of the Angland clan. Standing in the hall were a large group of night goblins, the legendary Eight Peaks Mountain fanatics, and a group of black orcs. When they saw
Git-Sour Stomach appeared, and Skarsnik smiled evilly and said: "Ha, the lost dog has come to my place! What does a loser who is not waaagh and cunning enough come to my throne room to do?"
Skarsnik was short, and even wearing a tall pointed cloak could not hide his lack of height. However, no one dared to underestimate this goblin warlord. Look at the black man standing next to the throne room.
Orc troops, the most powerful among these legends
The heavily armored Orcs were tamed by Skarsnik so obediently that they did not dare to look directly at the Eight Peaks Mountain Warlord, otherwise even the Black Orcs would be arranged into Skarsnik's beloved Squig at any time.
Pet Gobra's mouth and become its delicious meal.
The candles in the hall are all made of dwarven grease, and the "monument" made of Skaven skulls also proves Skarsnik's power.
"No... it's not good. The powerful Eight Peaks Mountain Warlord and Bearded Enemy Belegar Hammer brought a group of canned shrimps back to the bad land. It is said that this time the canned shrimps were made by a gray canned Ryan Horse.
Led by Cardo, this gray can is so old. They conquered Castle Castle and massacred my clan. I...I've come to join you!" Jit Sourweed told Skarsnik everything about the situation.
come out.
"Bellegar? I already knew it." Skarsnik smiled ferociously and cunningly: "Bellegar is back, we have new fun, boys!"
"waaaagh!"
"waaaaaagh!"
Deafening cheers erupted in the hall, almost breaking the eardrums of the greenskins.
After a slight pause, Skarsnik nodded. He waved his staff and smiled evilly, showing his rotten yellow teeth: "Hee~ It's coming in a menacing way, Belega, and he also brought a group of canned shrimps, but he wants this
Defeating me is such a wishful thinking!"
"I have already figured out how to deal with this expeditionary force!"
"That is to carry out all-out guerrilla warfare, prepare for a protracted war, and at the same time strengthen the walls and clear the country!"
"Let this expeditionary force composed of beards and shrimps be drowned in the green ocean that belongs to Brother Goge and Mao!"
