Arcane Lord

　　 Regarding the Temple of the Territory, Epps has always been very relieved. Without saying much, he looked to the next one, and he was more casual with him, and of course he was more close:

　　 "Bergart, how is the situation on the adventurer's side?"

　　 Although this Bergat may seem inconspicuous, he is a senior adventurer. Of course, he is now a follower of the lord.

　　 Seeing the lord’s questioning, he stood up for the first time. He was particularly conspicuous in the meeting room of this town hall. Even the merchants who were complaining to the lord just now couldn’t help but glance at him.

"Lord Lord." Bergart said, "The adventurer's side is fairly stable, but a few teams may have discovered that the orcs are about to attack. I have transferred the information to Koyan, and he has also brought people to These people are under control."

"Ok."

Epps nodded. Adventurers have to go out of town almost every day, or gather materials, meat, or hunt goblins and beasts. If anyone is most likely to be the first to discover the news that the orcs will rise, then they must It's an adventurer.

　　 Their sensitivity to crises and the wild is remote from ordinary people.

　　 But they are indeed an uncertain factor. The news of the orc wave was first discovered by an adventurer squad, but it was intercepted by the territory's scouts, which did not cause riots in the territory.

　　 "Kayaen, what about the territory army?"

　　 "Lord Lord, has passed the orc attack on a small scale, and arranged a low-intensity pre-war training camp, but there are two problems—"

　　 "What's the problem? Speak up!"

　　 "Yes!" Koyan glanced at the expressionless Thain on his right hand insignificantly, and said, "Mayor Thain did not allocate the military supplies in time."

　　 "Lord Lord."

　　 Without waiting for Lord Epps’ question, Thain got up quickly and replied respectfully:

　　 "It's not that I didn't allocate the military supplies in time, but that the army increased the training and consumed too much. Last year, the territory's food production was insufficient. If it were not for the assistance of the mage tower, the territory would not be able to sustain this year's harvest festival;

　　 "As for the winter combat equipment, in order to deal with the possible arrival of the orcs, the territory began preparations last year, but the first winter snow has not yet arrived, and the orcs may not be available for this attack."

　　According to other experience, the orc tide usually only appears in the severe winter season. The orcs go down the mountain in large quantities due to insufficient food and impact any areas that may have food.

　　 This wave of orcs is indeed early, and Lord Epps has a faint worry in his heart, but he does not want to show his weakness in front of his subordinates and outsiders.

　　 "Kayaen, I will ask people to transfer a batch of food from the mage tower. The training can't stop, but you need to keep fighting at all times. What is the other problem you said?"

　　 "Lord, when can the apprentices of the Wizard Tower be assigned?"

　　 Koyan didn't mention the official mage. He knew very well that a few low-level mage might not be as effective as more apprentices in a large-scale war.

　　 "Send scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the orcs! The apprentice will be given to you next week."

"Yes!"

　　 did not shout any **** slogans, loyalty to the lord, hatred of the orcs, so that Koyan's faith is not lost to anyone present.

　　The last person on the right of Lord Epps is the mayor of Thane. Nominally, he is the mayor of Savile, but in fact he can manage all affairs of the territory.

　　 This is the butler personally selected by the old lord for Epps Savile, loyal and reliable, and has been serving the Savile family since Thain’s grandfather.

　　As a mage, Epps devotes most of his time and energy to magic. If it weren't for the Mayor of Thain, Savile would have never known what the decline was like.

　　 The reputation of Lord Epps for managing the territory is largely attributed to Thain. Therefore, for Thain, both from the perspective of generational vassals and from the practical point of view, Eps respects him.

　　 "Sion, I am relieved to leave the domain to you."

　　 Stopping Thain’s move to get up, Epps coldly looked at the business representative on the left side of the conference table, "Everyone, is this your final decision?"

　　 "Lord Lord, it's really—" Assel, the representative of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce wearing silk elven robes and thermostat amulet, disappeared in a burst of white light before he finished speaking.

　　 When other businessmen saw this, they thought Lord Epps became angry and immediately approached the enemy, and one of them even activated a teleportation scroll on the spot.

Thousands of gold coins, said to be thrown away, but unfortunately in the control area of ​​the mage tower, Lord Epps easily prevented the transmission, but before the frightened businessman could speak, another white light made it disappear. .

　　 The remaining merchants, you look at me and I look at you, but no one speaks again, and they can see that Lord Epps did not harm the two who disappeared before.

　　 Epps didn't get the answer he wanted, and was a little disappointed, but he also strengthened his idea. With a wave of his left hand, he teleported all these merchants to the gate of the town hall.

　　The pre-war meeting ended here. In fact, this pre-war meeting was originally held for these businessmen, and the Savile leader always obeyed the lord's orders.

　　 The priesthood includes the priests of the temple, as long as the lord’s order does not violate the faith, they are also loyal to the lord.

Only these foreign businessmen, because the forces behind their respective forces are almost stronger than Savill, they all showed quite strong in the face of Lord Epps Savill’s request to take over the command of the armed forces in the orc war. Resistant means.

　　 But Epps had a plan in mind, he would no longer tolerate these merchants wandering outside of order.

　　……

On the other side, Assel, the president of the Saville regional branch of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, had just been teleported to the gate of the town hall~www.ltnovel.com~ and another one came in a blink of an eye. After that, all business representatives who participated in the pre-war meeting appeared The entrance of the town office.

　　 "President Axel, you're fine, I thought--"

　　 "Why? Was he killed by Lord Savile?" Axel showed disdain, "The branch president of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce cannot be treated like this even in the Elf Kingdom."

"Yes Yes Yes."

　　 Several business representatives complimented in unison.

　　 Territories have different sizes and lords have different strengths. Naturally, their subordinate chambers of commerce will be different.

　　The Eagle Chamber of Commerce is well-known throughout the empire and even in the elven country. The lord behind it is a powerful arcanist who is expected to be legendary.

　　 Other chambers of commerce also have their own backgrounds.

　　 Compared with that, Epps Savile is nothing at all. He actually wanted to take advantage of the orcs tide to take over the armed forces of their chamber of commerce, and he had made the wrong idea.

　　 These businessmen talked and laughed and left separately, but some people went to the villa area north of the town hall, and some went to their residences in the east.

　　 Assel came to his villa surrounded by several businessmen. When he wanted to go in, he suddenly thought of something. He touched his wrist and activated the mental amulet on it.

　　 The memory that had faded away became clear instantly.

　　 "Master Olong?!"

　　 An archmage with a caster level of up to 17 is considered famous in the entire empire, and Assel just didn't notice it at all.

　　 Now thinking about it, Axel was startled in a cold sweat.

　　Ignoring the presence of a few merchant representatives around him, Assel grabbed the hem of the elf robe and trot towards the town hall.

　　 The remaining few businessmen looked at each other, but they followed along without an appointment.
