The strongest lord system

Chapter 403
It was almost dusk now.

But after Allen walked across the Mosao River, he saw that the construction of the new city of Stormwind was still going on. The torches almost lit up the site, and all the people were still working hard there.

It was very different from when he left. At this time, several obvious buildings have stood up here, at least from the outside, it looks completely fine.And not far away, a towering city wall is slowly forming, although this length is only one percent of the expected city wall of Stormwind City.

This is because most of the manpower is still building those buildings, so the part of the city wall is still relatively slow.

Allen didn't go far when he saw the familiar figure.

"Grandpa Karen."

"Well, I will sign and send someone to deliver the latest materials in time." Butler Karen, who was discussing matters with several people, suddenly heard a call, which was a very familiar voice.

"Master." Butler Karen looked at the figure excitedly. He quickly said a few words to the people next to him, and then hurried over.

Allen looked at the butler Karen who ran over panting, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Karen, you are old now, so don't be so anxious."

"Master, why did you come back suddenly." Butler Karen looked at Allen happily.

"Well, didn't I say that I would be back soon." Allen smiled and looked at the construction site over there: "How is the construction of the new city going?"

"The progress is very smooth. Now the part of the residential area has been completed, and several other places are almost completed. There is also a small part of the city wall in the northeast part that has started construction. Almost all the works have been carried out for four years. One-half, and the next step is to build the west part. However, because of the construction of the new city, the revenue and expenditure of our Stormwind City's financial materials and so on are all in a deficit. It is expected that after our Stormwind City is completed, Almost 80.00% of our financial reserves need to be consumed." Butler Karen said with a sigh.

"There is no way around this. As long as we have a better foundation, we can develop faster. What we consume now, we will come back in the future." Allen said with a smile.

"By the way, young master, you look like this." Butler Karen pointed at Alan's appearance suspiciously.

Because he was teleported back directly from that place before, the clothes Alan was wearing were still a bit dirty.

"Well, I'm in a hurry to come back, so it's inevitable that I'm a little sloppy. I'm about to go back to the city lord's mansion." Allen said with a smile.

"Master, let me go back with you. Karl and the others will be very happy to know that you are back." After Butler Karen finished speaking, his expression changed; "However, there is some bad news, I Need to report to you."

"Bad news. It's about our Queen." If there is anything that Alan is most concerned about at this time, then it is the battle over there, although this battle will not involve them, But who knows what will happen next.

"According to your instructions, young master, we have been closely monitoring the war in the north. Except for the army stationed on both sides of the Osbornu River, there has been no change, and Queen Camelia's army has achieved great success in several other battlefields. Complete victory. Ten days ago, the capital of the Blackstone Kingdom was breached, and finally their king surrendered, but the imperial army was very strange. They spent a day searching for everything they could take away and then withdrew. Yaohu Kingdom and Jiuyue The situation is the same in all the countries, and now the imperial army is besieging their capital in the country of Sakaimu, and they should be able to break through in a few days." Karen Butler said.

Allen shook his head helplessly: "It seems that her ambition is not small. The purpose of her attacking those countries was not to retaliate or occupy those countries. It was just for those things."

"Those things? Why, such a large military operation, is it just to snatch those things, so it would be better after the occupation." Butler Karen said doubtfully.

"No, if you want to occupy and completely control those territories, the empire will need at least half a year, and you have to station troops in those places. With the current strength of the empire, if you do that, it is tantamount to dividing your already weak strength. Yes. And Camelia just wants to quickly strengthen her army, she wants more muskets." Allen narrowed his eyes.

"Muskets? Could it be that the resources in the empire are no longer enough for them to manufacture muskets?" Butler Karen suddenly understood.

"That's right. Now the materials for making muskets outside have become urgently needed military resources, causing the price of those things to increase by at least dozens of times." Allen shook his head and sighed softly: "So now we can only rely on our own The materials from the mines are used to make muskets."

"That's it. Fortunately, Haiyu City has been continuously providing us with snowstones, otherwise we would face the embarrassing situation of not being able to make muskets." Butler Karen nodded and said.

At this time, Allen and the others had unknowingly walked into the old city of Stormwind City, because most of the idle people in the city were outside to help build the new city, so the traffic on the street was not very large at this time, but they could be seen from time to time. I saw a few policemen in police uniforms walking on the road.

"By the way, master. I got a message yesterday, but it hasn't been confirmed yet." Butler Karen said.

"What news?" Allen asked.

"It is said that 4 of the [-] imperial troops who were originally staying in the imperial capital have left the imperial capital and headed to the west." Butler Karen said.

"Going to the west, could it be?" Allen frowned: "It's best to quickly confirm this news and other things related to this news."

"Yes."

"Hello, City Lord." When the passing policemen saw Alan, they all saluted Alan.

"Hmm." Allen responded with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Karen, how is the police department doing now?"

Butler Karen showed a smile on his face: "I have to say, the police department you created, young master, is really extraordinary, because of the existence of this department. Now the conflicts of all sizes in our Stormwind City have been reduced. People love them very much.”

"That's good, that's good. Some things, the police are also our face to the people at the bottom, so they are also crucial." Allen said with a smile.

"Lord City Lord."

The soldiers guarding the gate of the city lord's mansion saw the city lord, whom he hadn't seen for half a month, with a smile and peace of mind on his face.

"Ah."

"I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first. You can tell them later that I'm back. If you have anything to do, report directly to my office." After entering the Santo's Mansion, Allen walked directly towards the backyard.

"Yes, master." Butler Karen saluted Allen, and quietly watched Allen's back as he left.

Tread
The City Lord's Mansion is very quiet at this time, probably because he is not here.

When Allen walked into his yard, he saw Emily busy taking care of the flowers in the garden next to him.

With a faint smile on Alan's face, he walked slowly.

It can be seen that Emily attaches great importance to this garden, and the layout is very beautiful, because the winter has passed, and now it is full of various flowers,
Emily, on the other hand, didn't notice the person behind her at all, and looked at the flowers in her hand very engrossed.

flutter

Allen stretched out his hand and covered Emily's eyes, and whispered softly against Emily's ear with his lips.

"Guess who I am."

Emily's body became very stiff obviously, but then trembled a little.

Allen felt a moist feeling in his palm.

"Why are you crying?" Allen put down his hand, walked in front of Emily, and found that there were tears in Emily's eyes: "I scared you just now. I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay." Emily smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes: "I just didn't expect you to come back so suddenly, young master."

"Didn't I say I'd be back in about a month?" Allen said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to take care of the flowers here so hard."

"I heard Grandpa Karen say that because of the construction plan formed by Stormwind City, our finances have always been spent. So I wanted to get more perfume and buy a little more money, but because the empire is now at war, so the perfume is sold Not a lot." Emily said softly.

Allen patted Emily on the shoulder lightly; "Don't think about so many things, you just need to get some perfume, and then do something you like, otherwise you will work hard on yourself."

Although the luxury price of perfume is very high now, it is a luxury after all. For the current Stormwind City, the income of this kind of thing no longer occupies the majority of Stormwind City.

"What I like is that I can share the pressure with the young master." Emily said with her head down.

Allen looked at the girl in front of him, this silly girl.

She only has herself in her heart.

"I see, thank you." But what I gave her was nothing but myself.

Allen hugged Emily gently.

Emily's little face turned red all of a sudden, and she felt like her little heart was about to jump out.

Allen suddenly realized at this time, he quickly let go of his hand, looked at Emily's dirty skirt, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I haven't come back just now, so I have to change my clothes in a hurry. Clothes are all dirty."

Emily smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, young master go to the room first, I'll bring your change of clothes."

"Okay." Allen nodded and walked into his room.

Emily took a deep breath and a smile appeared on her face.

Great, the young master is back.
