Lord of War

  The return of Sean is indeed a sensational event for the entire Panda leader.

After   appeared from the border of the Gorge Rift, Alfred immediately led the three thousand thunder lions to **** Sean and others to the return. And when this troop returned to the vicinity of Void City, Neil, William and even the city defense forces led by Void City went out to greet them. Of course, such a big move could not be hidden from anyone, and only Hitley, who focused on saving The human chief priest did not find out.

  However, this arrangement was naturally made by Neal deliberately.

  In this way, although everyone will know that the territorial situation has suffered a bit of a heavy loss this time, even Sean was injured, but at least no one will disturb Sean at this time. In other words, even if you really want to disturb Sean at this time, it would be a very shabby thing if you don't have a handy gift, especially now that many churches are staring at the interview with Sean.

  So, when Sean returned to Void City, although it was a sensation in the whole city, when Sean entered the Lord’s Mansion, no one came to harass.

  Cloff, Andre, and the Cecilia Guards and many other wounded soldiers were naturally sent to the temporary residence of the Goddess of Life Church in the first place. This is a camp on the outskirts of Void City. Originally, all the people including Hitley and others lived in Void City, but because of the thousands of wounded soldiers of Thunder's Front, of course, there was no way to live in the city, so You can only use the camp set by the Church of the Goddess of Life in the Void City.

  Fortunately, with the help of William and the Void City Garrison, it is not particularly difficult to clean up and build this camp. So when these new wounded soldiers returned to the Void City, they were naturally sent to this camp in the first place. Although the Church of Chenxi was also good at healing magic, of course, in front of the Goddess of Life, the Church of Chenxi would not be so stupid to be here. In terms of competing with the Goddess of Life, although both of them are gods of higher divine power, their effects will of course be different depending on the area of ​​focus.

  At least, people in the entire continent know that the goddess of life is the number one in healing magic.

What William did not expect was that this time when he arranged for the wounded to be sent over by hand, the priests of the Goddess of Life seemed to have anticipated such a situation a long time ago, so they had arranged related matters from a very early time. All work is being carried out quickly and methodically, which saves a lot of trouble. At least, it's much better than when these people hadn't touched so many wounded people at the beginning, so it was a lot of chaos.

  After finishing everything, when William returned to the Lord’s Mansion, Neal just finished all the developments of the territory in the past six months or so.

Neil originally made detailed records of these things, and even the corresponding policies and transfers of Void City. Although Neil did not intervene in Rudd’s policies, he still understands them, so he does not describe them. Not too difficult, of course, in terms of details, it is natural to be supplemented and reported by Rudd. In addition, there is nothing else to report about the government affairs of the territory, and the military affairs of all the territories that William is responsible for have been intermittently told with Sean before, so at this moment, I will pick some more important things recently. speak.

  For example, the establishment of the Thunder Lion, the reconstruction of the jet black wings, etc., but the final topic returned to the Cecilia Guards and Rina’s First Cavalry Regiment.

"The top priority at the moment is to ensure the supply of troops for the Cecilia Guards and the First Cavalry Regiment." Sean frowned, and then said, "As for the level of the army, William, you will wait until Clover is ready. Negotiate with him again to see if he has any thoughts.... And the current focus is to restore the strength of Rena's First Cavalry Regiment first. I think one thousand people should be almost the same?"

"Enough, Lord Lord." Rina nodded. Now her strength is the next golden powerhouse, which is stronger than all the people present. "If there are more people, I'm afraid I won't be able to command. This It is an extremely unfavorable behavior on the battlefield."

  William glanced at Rena and could not help but nodded to himself.

Rina’s statement is indeed correct. It’s not that the more troops a commander can command, the better. It also depends on the commander’s abilities and the number of middle-level officers in the troops under his command. If the number is too small, So many orders cannot be accurately issued, and even if there is only one second of negligence on the battlefield, then the result is likely to be annihilation.

  Such a loss, not everyone has the courage to bear.

  William could tell that Rina's action in the Wildlands was more advanced than before.

   "How many people are left in the dark wings now?" Sean asked again.

"Ten people." William sighed and said helplessly, "Before Rudd spent a lot of money on these people. Although I haven't arranged a commander after collecting them, it does save me a lot. Trouble...Although Rudd is in Void City, it is not difficult to retrain a group of such heavy cavalry, but there is not enough time."

"Then let these people join Rina's command." Sean thought for a while, then said, "In this way, these people with rich combat experience can immediately become the middle-level commanders of the cavalry regiment, Rina's Command orders can also be more convenient and faster, and the size of the army can also be expanded.... The level of two thousand people should be no problem?"

  The last sentence, Sean said to Rina.

"I think it's more than that. With a little training, at least a force of three thousand people can be formed." William glanced at Rena, and seemed to be evaluating the feasibility of this matter. Na answered, "But the biggest problem in our territory at the moment is the shortage of horses.... These horses are no better than ordinary horses. Our territory does not have its own racecourse, and the horses can only be obtained through procurement, but now we use our territory’s horses. In the circumstances, I am afraid it will be difficult to purchase war horses."

"Don't worry about this. We still have an ally in the Kingdom of Fascism." Xiao En smiled, "If this matter is left to him, it is estimated that it can be easily resolved. ... And I have some. I want to talk to him about it. Since the last time he helped rescue Elsie, he hasn't had a chance to thank him.... Neil, you will write an invitation letter for me later and send it to him. "

"It's Florence Wiles?" Neil asked. After seeing Sean nodding, Neil continued, "The cost of the horse is not low. This is definitely a fortune for our current territorial situation. A huge burden...At least, it will increase the expenses by more than 50%, which will make the territory unable to make ends meet, and will enter a fiscal deficit within two months, and at most four months later, your lord will go bankrupt. "

   "It would be meaningless to just form a thousand Qingqi." Xiao En's brows frowned, "Such troops have no value at all except for reconnaissance and support for some local battles on the battlefield."

   "Even if it is three thousand light cavalry, it is of little value on the battlefield." William criticized unceremoniously.

   "Who said it was three thousand light cavalry."

"If it is three thousand heavy cavalry, then Lord Lord, you will enter a fiscal deficit in one month, and go bankrupt in one and a half months to two months." This time the answer to Sean's whimsical Neal is Neil, "To be honest, Lord Lord , Your investment in military issues has accounted for two-thirds of the total expenditure of the entire territory. The construction of many facilities and related decree have been postponed indefinitely, not to mention that there are still several places in Void City that require large sums. Invest."

  "How about fighting to support war?" Sean's daydream still didn't give up.

  "Who shall we fight?" William asked rhetorically.

"The Kingdom of Darbion." Sean said unceremoniously, "I have thought about the excuses. I guess the Nugus family will not be able to stand it soon... I don't expect that the other party will come to provoke him in a month. At that time we can use this excuse to invade the Kingdom of Darbion."

"Even if you send an invitation letter to Your Excellency Florence now, he himself can come within two months, but if you include the transportation of the horses, I am afraid it will take more than half a year." Neil said in a deep voice, "This is not even on the road. There may be risks. If you count these, the delivery time of the horse will probably be longer.... Lord Lord, can you please think of something more practical."

  "Could it be that Rina's strength can't be supplemented?...How did you find so many horses in the first place?"

"My lord, those... are not war horses in the true sense." Seeing Sean's madness, Rina hesitated for a moment, and resolved to use the cruel reality to make Sean sober, "Those are normal feet with better strength. The horses were just horses, which were smuggled from the Kingdom of Darbion by Mr. Neil. The horses you saw later were all snatched from the wild, but the number was only about a hundred horses. "

  At this time, Xiao En suddenly remembered that originally Rina’s mount was not white, but when she saw her later, it was white. At that time, Xiao En was still wondering. At this time, she finally understood after hearing Rina’s explanation.

  For a moment, the entire conference room fell into silence.

There were a lot of things to wait for Sean to deal with, and Sean originally thought that military issues are very simple issues, and they should be dealt with quickly, so that he can discuss the territory with Neal. The development profile and future plans of the city, and then think of a way to solve the problem of the large number of priests staying in the void city. When facing these fanatics, even Sean had to come up with a reasonable excuse. Otherwise, he would really offend all the faiths in the entire continent. This is not a burden that Sean can bear at the moment.

   But the result was unexpected. The military aspects of the territory were not difficult. However, at the end of the discussion, there was no complete result. This made Sean feel very helpless. At this moment, he finally understood that it is not an easy task to build and develop a territory. It is ridiculous that he thought that a few million should be enough.

  It’s just that Sean didn’t expect that when the general lords develop their territories, they start with internal affairs. The military layout only reaches the minimum defense level of the territory, and even the equipment is not that good. And Sean not only develops internal affairs and military affairs at the same time, but also always uses sophisticated or even high-quality equipment to go to the armed forces. This is naturally a great consumption of a territory. If it weren’t for Neil and Rudd’s previous management Yi Ling, Sean is already bankrupt.

  Just when everyone was at a loss, the door of the meeting room was suddenly opened.

  This made Sean and Neil, William, Rena, Cecilia, Alfred and others all startled, and then looked at the person who opened the door at this moment with doubts.

  The opponent is wearing a hooded cloak, which makes people unable to see the appearance under the cloak.

But Xiao En and others are also aware that the people in the Lord’s Mansion currently know that they are in a meeting. If there are not very urgent or extremely powerful people, it is impossible to push the door directly. After all, they are now responsible for the security of the Lord’s Mansion. It is Alfred's new subordinate: the Lion of Thunder. This is a very powerful and powerful army.

   "Who are you?" Sean frowned.

   "It's me." The person under the cloak replied, his voice was female, and even Sean felt strangely familiar.

  After hesitating for a while, Xiao En stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise: "Master Asuna! Why are you here?"

"I'm traveling in secret this time. Tony doesn't know the situation yet." Lifting the hood, Asuna said with a serious face, "Because the matter is urgent, no one except me can explain it clearly, so I To make a long story short, this time I brought you two bad news."

bad news! ?

  Hearing this, not only Sean, but also the others in the conference room were obviously stunned. (To be continued.)
