Chapter 102 The Supreme Throne
"Ren, Will, after a new batch of young men join the army, your direct descendants will serve as officers, and you will select the rest yourself. Food and ordnance will be escorted by Ren's command. The army will set off in the next few days, so be ready at any time." Jiang The source gives up a little autonomy.

"Understood." They both replied in unison.

After giving brief instructions, Jiang Yuan went to the bedroom to change into his uniform. Three battalions constitute one school, and three schools constitute one army. Plus the Guards, the standard number of troops an imperial general can command is 1, but now no one cares about the excess. .

There are several types of dress commonly used in the northern part of the empire, the most popular of which is the refined hunting suit. This kind of hunting suit has a simple feel similar to military uniforms. The high-top leather boots are helpful for walking in the snow and keeping warm in winter. They are ZTE A legacy of the martial ethos of the era.

Jiang Yuan's black hunting suit has the heraldic pattern of the Titus family. The silk thread is taken from the fur of dangerous species, which has a slight anti-cutting effect.

Chitong had been waiting for him for a long time when he came out. She was wearing a long black dress, her shoulders and thighs were covered with fabric, and she didn't wear a necklace around her neck because the collar was too high and was not necessary.

"Father asked." Chitong was quite surprised to be stared at and simply explained.

"I somewhat approve of him." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but nod secretly. He quite agreed with Titus's decision. There was nothing wrong with girls showing off their beauty, but given the current environment in the empire, it was better to avoid it.

The two got on the carriage outside the castle. Jiang Yuan did not refuse the accompanying escort arranged by the count. Although these people could not provide much combat power, they could reduce a lot of trouble, at least they would not be blocked outside and unable to enter.

It was more than ten miles from the earl's castle to the county town, and the chilling scenery of early winter had already appeared along the way. The leaves of cold-resistant plants in the north had fallen off in large numbers. According to the guards, this year was obviously colder than previous years.

The great cold wave is coming, food production will be reduced, and it will be more difficult for people to survive the winter. The celestial phenomenon may be the unveiling of the current royal family's withdrawal from the stage of history.

Jiang Yuan thought about the Supreme Throne, the divine machine that protects the country. It was the first and most powerful imperial weapon. Only the blood of the emperor could control it. The founders relied on the alchemy of the peak era and the power of the entire empire to forge that royal throne. of iron walls.

He is not sure whether March of the Dead and the Eighth Chamber can control the emperor's bloodline after killing it, and then control the Supreme Throne. If the founder is wise enough, the other party should be able to consider these loopholes and leave a mystery in the bloodline of the heirs that is enough to counteract the influence. Material, but there is another possibility, that is, the founders thought of it but could not do it.

Jiang Yuan did not intend to pin his hopes on the founder's dementia, although this possibility did exist.

Therefore, verification is required.

Teigu: Kill with One Slash Murasame is a demon sword, specially designed to kill people. The specific manifestation is that if it is scratched, it will die. The poison will enter the body along the wound. There has been no antidote for thousands of years, and it will cause death very quickly.

If Murasame's poison damage can be effective on the royal family, then the same will probably be true for Hachifou.

Jiang Yuan looked at the little girl opposite who was in a daze. The demon sword Murasame belonged to Chitong in the future, and now this sword is in the hands of the strongest assassin in the empire, Goziqi.

After the winter hunt, he had to go to the imperial capital for verification. It was best to push Gozhi to kill the prince. This was related to the ultimate goal - only by ascending the throne could he gain enough starlight in this world where information spreads slowly.

Victory in the war, Ornest's general attack, defeat in the war, Muli's counterattack, no matter what, the real competition to succeed the emperor will have to wait until the end of the war.

"Uncle, what are you thinking about."

Chitong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. This was the second time today. She noticed it when the other person looked at her. "I'm thinking about what I can eat at night." Jiang Yuan's eyes were focused. What he had to consider now was the winter hunt, which had to be done step by step.

Chi Tong: "..."

It was so perfunctory, she didn't believe it.

In the evening, the carriage entered the county town, and Chi Tong raised a small curtain. There were only a few people on the street, and the doors and windows of the shops were closed. Occasionally, officers passing by on horseback could be seen, as well as groups of drunken soldiers.

"uncle."

"That's it when the soldiers came. They didn't directly enter the house to rob because the army needed Berkshire to maintain the supply line. The generals and colonels probably had an explanation, and the prefect had a good relationship with Ernest. The Second Army of the Central Army and the main general's headquarters It’s not good to make it too ugly, because they are considered to be in the same camp, and now is a critical period.”

"What if it were another county."

"The four fortress counties are probably fine. Many families there have been in the army for generations, and the 15 elite border troops are very intimidating. However, according to your father's news, two cities in Lanhai County have been looted, first by soldiers, and then by order. After the loss of the people, the other nobles will eventually end up.”

Jiang Yuan did not describe the specific situation, the agitation accumulated during the long march, the opportunity to make clear the dissidents, etc. There were many reasons. The nobles of Lanhai County sent [-] troops, which greatly exceeded expectations, indicating that the general made a deal with some local people, and it was not a massacre. A serious incident such as arson will hardly have much impact on the general during this period. All forces are paying attention to the outcome of the war.

"Will we do this in the future?" Chitong asked in a low voice.

"No." Jiang Yuan turned over a page of his alchemy notes, "I expect more people. My father is very ambitious. He wants more war potential. We have different reasons for treating the people, but we both attach greater importance to it. As a valuable asset, it is foolish and intolerable to be wasted in vain.

Your father lowered the territory tax this year. Although the price is that there will be a lot more borers, the overall environment is still a lot more relaxed. This winter will be very difficult. There will be a lot of refugees in the Northern Territory. They will be attracted to the territory next spring. We have formulated a pre-plan for land leasing for 30 years, which should have some effect. "

"What if the land is directly distributed, there will be many refugees." Chitong couldn't help but ask.

"Chi Tong." Jiang Yuan closed the note with a serious expression, "Before you prepare everything, do not expose your thoughts of sacrificing class interests. Directly distributing land will make us lose the support of the affiliated nobles and knights. The aliens are destined to Being routinely challenged.”

"I don't quite understand." Chitong answered blankly.

"Your mission tonight is to eat enough and then help me block some troubles." Jiang Yuan said. The baron who controls the military strength of a school can be regarded as a real power. Some noble ladies can't tell the difference between the elite and the trash. Furthermore, The news of the appearance of the Teigu user in the Thius family spread like wildfire. If it weren't for Chitong, he might have wasted a lot of time.

"Oh, I understand this. Uncle is very handsome. Leave it to me when the time comes." Chitong patted his chest.

Jiang Yuan took the initiative to shake hands with the little girl. It seems that there is a reason why this guy ended Esdeath in the future. He has been a pillar of talent since he was a child.
