But the complaints in my heart returned to my heart, but I still tried not to touch my lord's little head on the face, and said: "Miss, come on, I believe you will be the strongest."

Unrest in the North: Chapter 46 Taking Refugees

He stopped and walked all the way, because of the protection of hundreds of dragoons and the existence of two Valkyries, even if they encountered some rioters and bandits, under the deterrence of the troops, no one would dare to plunder their edge, especially when they saw Austrian soldiers. When the flag of the Fort Phoenix family is held, no one dares to take half a step closer.

The refugees on the road naturally discovered this. They tried their best to get close to Xue Li's team, but they didn't dare to get too close to Shirley's team. looting.

A dirty little hand whose original skin color could not be seen for a long time was holding wild vegetables dug from the edge of the woods.Throw a small amount of wild vegetables into the boiling pot, and in the boiling water, you can vaguely see scattered grains of wheat.

There is very little food, and it is very scarce. The food available to the refugees here has almost disappeared, but this is not the only thing. The northeastern region has encountered drought this year, and a large amount of farmland has failed to harvest.The nobles can still indulge in extravagance, but the common people are already on the verge of life and death.

It is impossible for the royal family to go beyond the nobles to relieve the victims, and the nobles will not use their own money and food to provide free relief.Seeing the combination of disaster victims and refugees on an increasing scale in front of her, Xue Li could not help but sigh in her heart.

As for saying that she was worried that these people would be unfavorable to her, that would be an exaggeration. Most of these refugee teams, who were old and weak, women and children, wanted to rob her troops, which was still a bit of an exaggeration.

You must know that your own dragoons are no longer the weapons they used in the early days. They are equipped with a large number of machine guns, and they do not have tens of thousands of troops. It is simply a joke to defeat them.

Don't say it's impossible, just look at a country where 10 people can't beat thousands of invaders. The weapons at that time were not equipped with light and heavy machine guns yet.

Especially since the two sides still maintain a certain distance, if you want to make a move, you have to weigh whether you can bear the end of the attack failure.

"Miss, I'm afraid they will run out of food."

Fuya looked at the situation of the refugees not far away. With the binoculars borrowed from her daughter, she could clearly see the situation inside the refugees. I have to say that they are really going to die, and there is no food left. Not much.And the wild vegetables, hay, and bark that can be dug up in the surrounding forests have been collected by them. To feed so many people, adding another forest may not be enough.

"Hey, didn't you say that forestry is the private property of the royal family, and these common people will not be arrested if they engage in forestry like this?"

Xue Li was a little curious, grass roots and wild vegetables are fine, but the bark is on the tree. Does eating bark count as encroaching on royal property?

Hearing what my lady said, Fuya was shocked. When did my lady become so cruel that she can't even eat tree bark?Those are refugees. They are already at the end of their ropes. If they are not even allowed to eat the bark, it will make things worse for them.

"Well, I'm just curious, but this is not the way. Wherever these people go, they probably won't make those nobles like them."

Although the population is wealth, it is only the old and the weak, women and children, and those nobles will not like it.What they want most are young and strong men.Or beautiful women.

Lying on the window, looking at the poor refugees outside, it is really pitiful if you say it is pitiful. I was living a good life, but either natural disasters or man-made disasters ruined my good life just like that.

"Leave some food for them, you can't really watch them starve to death."

The kind-hearted Xueli didn't see Fuya get off the car immediately, she looked at Fuya strangely, didn't she feel that she was not kind just now?Why can't we distribute food by ourselves?

"Miss, although I understand your kindness, food is not a good thing for them at this time. What they need most is a place where they can stay."

"Huh? You don't want me to gather these refugees, do you? Don't be ridiculous, how could these people walk to my territory, the distance is too far."

It is impossible for the refugees to walk to her territory, even if it is the nearest territory, they have to pass through many earldoms, and even through the Principality of Friedland.

Thinking about the way the nobles looked at them when they passed by the Principality of Friedland, how could so many refugees pass through.

"Miss, have you forgotten that these refugees are old, weak, women and children, the nobles can't keep them, but if they are sent to your territory, many nobles will be happy to see it."

Blinking her eyes, Shirley didn't quite understand why this happened. After all, adding population to her territory shouldn't be rejected by many nobles.

"Let these refugees enter our territory, thereby weakening our food stocks, and, in the eyes of the nobles, we have just finished a war, and it is the time when the food stocks are insufficient, coupled with the influx of so many refugees. . . ”

You don't need to be too clear about what follows, Shirley can tell at all, is this really her maid?Curiously, Shirley planned to pinch Fuya's cheek, but when she saw her fragile skin, she withdrew her outstretched hand timidly.

"Sister Fuya, it's up to you, let them go to my territory, no matter what, there is still a big gap in my population, if I can accept these refugees, it will also alleviate the lack of people in the territory state."

Other lords are mainly based on agriculture, and simple factories have begun to be built in their own territories, such as textiles, salt making, canned food, etc. are all under construction.It is very likely that new factories will be added in the future. In this case, more people will be needed. If we don't gather them as much as possible now, we will wait for the nobles to react.It's not easy for me to accept people.

Watching Fuya get off the carriage and enter the crowd under the protection of the soldiers, although she couldn't hear what she said, but from the commotion of the refugees, I can understand that the maid has successfully persuaded most people .

Not long after, Fuya came back from there. Seeing the refugees and disaster victims calm down again, Shirley knew that all she could give was a choice. They could choose to continue going south to try their luck, or trust her and go own territory.But no matter what choice they make, the consequences can only be borne by themselves.

Soon, a woman took the hands of her daughter and son and walked towards Shirley's carriage.She, or rather they had no choice.As a mother with two children, she knows how difficult the future is for her.Many people have already set their sights on the meat of their daughters and sons.Either continue to go south, but the result may not be something she can bear.

Her husband had already died on the battlefield between the earls, and she couldn't let his children be killed by other people.So she decided to take the child north.For them, she is willing to take risks.

Looking at the three people who were passing by his carriage and bowing to him, the hand holding the window subconsciously pressed against the window.

"Sister Fuya, give them some food. It's still too far away to go that far."

What Shirley said didn't surprise Fuya, but whispered in her ear that she had already made arrangements.Those who return will give them some food.Although there are not many, but you can go far without eating.

Seeing the three people going away, Shirley sighed softly.I hope the three of them can reach their territory smoothly.At least there, they don't have to worry about life problems.

Unrest in the North: Chapter 47 Returns to the Imperial City

In front of the majestic city walls, towering arrow towers, and heavy city gates, a group of nobles waited nervously, and two girls stood at the front.

"It's really ridiculous. I heard that last time Earl Shirley came here, the nobles were not so nervous. They didn't even arrange her residence, and they always wanted to make things difficult for her."

"Hmph, who's to say no, this time I said to let Shirley live in my mansion again, but they immediately jumped out to object, saying that nobles have the reception etiquette of nobles, and that they have to live in a mansion specially arranged for her. Why didn't you say that this time? Instead, Shirley was asked to live in another place this time."

Princess Adalia glanced at the nobles behind her irritably. She used to be ignorant of them, but now it's all right, and they suddenly let them down.But think about it, that girl has only been back for a few months, and such a big incident has happened.

Fighting against the strongest forces in the northern border alone, the result is to rub the other party on the ground. Sometimes I don't know if that girl is the little girl I knew before.The little girl who followed behind him, crying and wiping her nose, has become so powerful now.

"Aren't these nobles always like this? I heard that Earl Shirley has many powerful female generals. I really want to see them. If there is a chance, I hope His Majesty will allow me to go to the northern border."

"Forget it, you are the commander of the main army of our imperial capital. If you go to the northern border, who will lead the army for you? You can stay in the imperial capital honestly. I will help you go when I have a chance in the future." The northern border will meet those female generals."

Seeing Adalia smiling so brightly, Landiris said how she had such a friend, and she shouldn't have taught her her marksmanship in the first place.

"Don't think that His Majesty's doting on you will let you leave the imperial capital easily. The princess of a country is watched by many people."

"But I'm going to see my sister. This is considered a family visit. I think my father and mother will agree to my visit to Shirley in the north."

Thinking that those two would really do this, Landiris didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only stare at her with her hips on her hips.But at this moment, there was an exclamation from behind.

The attention of the two also saw that in the direction of the rising sun, a troop of hundreds of people was slowly marching here.With so many cavalry, apart from those powerful nobles, Shirley is probably the only one.

The carriage in the middle appeared and disappeared from time to time, but it brought a big smile to Adalia's face.

"It's finally here, let's hurry over..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of nobles rushing past him, heading towards Xue Li's carriage.As the royal family, they didn't even leave, so they left first.

"You are only here to pick up people in a private capacity. You can't let these nobles meet behind you. Wouldn't it be a member of the royal family leading the nobles to welcome Shirley? The meaning is different."

Although she didn't want to know so many twists and turns, but as a general of the empire, with a heavy army in hand, there were some things that she didn't have to learn if she didn't want to.

"It's really troublesome to pick up someone with so many twists and turns."

"Okay, if you continue to struggle here, be careful that your little sister will be picked up by someone else, and I'll see who you want someone to ask for."

Originally, a group of nobles came to pick her up. At first, Shirley thought they were going to make things difficult for her like before, such as not preparing a room or something, but they got close to her as soon as they came. Why did she have a good relationship with her father before? Why did he hug me when I was a child?Or it means that his wife and her mother are good friends who haven't been in touch for many years.

Anyway, how can we get on with each other, but there are also serious things, for example, the young nobleman who told himself before that he didn't prepare a room for her, now seriously told himself that they have already arranged a place for her.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Princess Adalia push away the crowd and rush over from the crowd.Surprised, a little bit, but when you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

"Princess sister, why are you here?"

"You have come to the imperial capital, can I not come to pick you up. Come home with me first."

"Your Highness, we have already arranged a room for Earl Shirley, please don't make things difficult for us."

This princess simply doesn't play the cards according to the rules. Didn't we all agree before that we should go according to their arrangement? Why do people change their minds immediately when they come? How can you let us nobles who have taken the money continue to take the money? .

"Hmph, I said I would take Shirley home, but I didn't say that I wouldn't let her live in the room you arranged. Why, I asked Shirley to go to my mansion first to have a meal or drink tea?"

Speaking of this, I get angry, Shirley can't live in her own house when she comes home, what kind of rule is this, why didn't you mention this rule before, why do you think of it now.

"How many benefits did those dukes give you, and let you help them so hard."

"Your Highness, what you said is too much. We are all loyal ministers of the empire and are loyal to the royal family. It is really chilling for you to say that."

Haoxuan didn't roll his eyes over, loyalty?Heh, loyalty is benefit, right? He helped Shirley out of the carriage, and never let go of his hands from the beginning to the end. He glanced at the nobles surrounding Shirley.

"Go away, I'll take the girl home first, and you can arrange someone to pick her up in the afternoon."

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me. This negotiation is about the peace of the northern border, and there must be no sloppiness. Please understand."

"I don't understand. Isn't the Duke of Stugalbo the one who beat people? Why, if you can't beat him, you want to persuade people to help, and if you ask for peace, show your sincerity. It's no use for several duchies to put pressure together."

"Adaria."

"elder sister."

Shirley and Landiris on the side quickly gave her a hand, signaling her not to say something, especially in front of these nobles.

Adalia, who was pulled, still seemed a little aggrieved. She didn't argue before, and she didn't want to touch the affairs of nobles, but those people bullied Shirley, how could she bear it.

"I'll go home with my sister first. No matter what my status is, shouldn't the first thing I do when I return to the imperial capital be to go home and see my family."

The red pupils calmly swept over these nobles one by one, and the pupils without the slightest emotion made these nobles feel an indescribable pressure out of thin air.

"Go back and tell those dukes that I'm coming."

With a small body, he didn't let go of any harsh words, just said something plainly, but it also made these nobles feel a chill from their backs to the top of their heads.

"We are only...."

"No need to explain, just remember to pass the message."

After the words fell, Adalia held Shirley's hand impatiently, and led her to the city, saying not to talk to those nobles while walking.As for Landiris, looking at the hand that was loosened by Adalia, and at the two people who were gradually leaving, she shook her head with a wry smile, and then looked at Fuya with a complicated expression behind her.

"Let's go, or that princess might lead your lord to some extent." In other words, Shirley sometimes doesn't look like an aristocrat, maybe it's that princess who led her into trouble.Well, very likely.

Orc Raiders: Chapter 1 translation under the demeanor of a great country

Shirley has also seen the duke-sized mansion. When she arrived in the afternoon, she saw the cannon fodder nobles sent by the nobles to find her. They had no choice but to pay attention to themselves, so they had to send nobles to look for it. If only a few attendants were sent out, they might be beaten out by the princess.

Even if some earls came to find him, Princess Adalia didn't give them any good looks, so that these nobles were afraid that if they were not careful, the princess would slip their hand and beat them up violently.

However, Shirley was already mentally prepared this time. From the very beginning, she never thought that she would live in the princess mansion. It is according to their arrangement, but the first stop must be the princess mansion.Those nobles cannot be left with the impression of weakness.

The summer night in the imperial capital was even hotter than that in the northern border. When I opened the window, there was a lot of traffic outside the window. I rested my cheeks on a pair of small hands and looked at the bustling market outside.

"Sister Fuya, this is an aristocratic area, isn't it so lively at night?"

"This place is between the aristocratic area and the commercial area, and it is also the area where the nobles from outside live, because many of the nobles from outside are not adapted to the living habits of the nobles in the imperial capital, so in order to take care of them, they are generally arranged here. On the residence, these nobles did not use any means."

"It's very lively over there, what are you doing?"

From a distance, I saw a bustling shop with a crowd of people, which made Xueli a little curious. Although other places were also very lively, compared with that place, it was not as good.

"It's a tavern. People in the city usually go there for a drink at night. Of course, some people who go out on adventures, or mercenaries also go there to drink."

"Does the imperial capital also have mercenaries?" Shirley was a little curious. This is the capital of the Fafnir Empire and the seat of the royal family. Mercenaries are still needed here to protect the safety of the imperial capital?

"These are small mercenaries, most of whom are adventurers. They mainly undertake the escort work of merchant groups. Not all mercenaries will participate in wars between nobles, or even between countries."

I feel that my lady has misunderstood mercenaries, but I can't blame her. After all, they have been in a state of war since she came into contact with mercenaries, and they have never seen a few small mercenary groups.

"Many mercenaries who can participate in the war have formed a certain scale. There are only a few dozen mercenaries here at most, and many of them are temporarily formed. They don't have much combat effectiveness. It is possible to frighten ordinary robbers. Nobles, they won't even look straight in the face."

"They are all working hard to survive, so there is no difference between high and low. Whose gold coins are more expensive than whose gold coins."

"Miss, the word "gold coin" from your mouth already shows that you have separated from the common people. The people below may never see the appearance of gold coins in their entire lives."

Turning her beautiful eyes back into the room from the window, she looked at Fuya behind her with disbelief. Is this her maid complaining about her?However, her words really reminded her that she was indeed somewhat separated from ordinary people, which was a very dangerous signal.

"Miss, it's getting late, and you should also rest. Negotiations will be held in a few days. Don't forget Mr. Kong Ming's instructions. Show the demeanor of a great country."

"Huh, of course I understand the demeanor of a big country. When negotiating with a big country, I should be magnanimous. I will have frank exchanges with them, and I will also fully exchange opinions with them on topics of mutual concern. It will also enhance understanding of each other, strive for Let this negotiation benefit us all. Isn’t that the manner of a big country.”

Fuya looked at her young lady in surprise. She was worried all the way. Mr. Kong Ming only talked about the demeanor of a great country, and she couldn't fully understand it. She didn't expect her to be able to know him so deeply.

"I didn't expect Miss to have such an understanding of the demeanor of a big country. It's my subordinates who think too much."

While talking, he helped Shirley change into her pajamas and waited for her to lie down on the bed.After saluting, he said good night to Shirley, closed the window, and left the room.

Shirley lying on the bed, maybe it was a long journey, maybe the bed was really too soft, the quilt with a faint fragrance urged her to close her eyes and enter the dreamland.

Having nothing to do all night, Shirley, awakened by the sunlight outside, sat up, rubbed her eyes with her small hands, and then heard the creaking sound of the door being pushed open.Originally, she thought it was the door that made a sound when opening and closing the door because it had not been used for a long time.Unexpectedly, when the door was closed, there was no such sound.

"Miss, this door is specially designed to prevent assassins and assassinations. If an assassin pushes the door in, there will be a sound when the door is opened, reminding the people inside that someone is coming in."

Good guy, how careful should this be, even making a door so exaggerated?While getting dressed with Fuya's help, he complained about the carelessness of the nobles in his heart.

Looking at the still young figure in the mirror, Xue Li couldn't help but sighed, she was just flat, but was disarmed, changing from convex to concave, with a beautiful woman on her side, she didn't even have to think about it.

"Today you are going to visit our allies in the imperial capital, especially the Duke of Belize. He still has some strength in the imperial capital. We can get some information from him."
