All the contract girls want to marry me

However, her mind was blinded.

Thinking back carefully, whether it was Teacher Grandet or the Legion Commander, they never gave her too many resources, they just used her as a tool.

Although Matthew forced her to sign a soul contract, he never took away anything beyond the agreement.

She returned to the room silently.

If she treats this place as a prison, then these three years will really be a prison; if she treats this place as a place for training, those who come out in three years will be truly strong.

Matthew was so kind to her that he didn't even force her to extend the contract.

Shirley secretly made up her mind that she would never be Matthew's enemy.

She will use actions to redeem her past hesitation and cowardice.

PS: I updated 5 chapters today, and there are still 20 bounty chapters left.

Chapter 080 The military commander is coming

The resettlement of the first batch of refugees was basically completed within a week.

After screening the refugees' identities and willingness to stay, their camps were divided.

The refugees who are willing to stay in Rundebell are certainly not refugees now. They are the subjects of Master Matthew. They have household registration books and identity documents, so naturally they must be treated as their own people.

They were assigned to live in standard villages prepared for them in units of 200 people.

The standard village is a village designed and built by Matthew according to a unified style. This kind of village does not have scattered settlements like ordinary rural areas. The standard village is basically built according to the standards of a small fortress.

In the center is the village chief's home and the location of the village committee.

Although the refugees do not understand what a village committee is, they know that it is the center of power in the village.

Spread out in a circle around the village committee are the houses of other villagers, and the outermost is a circle of walls.Villages close to the Lunde River have also introduced river water to build simple village protection rivers according to local conditions.

Although there are no bandits or bandits in Lundebel now, there may be bandits from elsewhere in the future.

On the day of Shirley's death, the intelligence agent Keglu who came to contact him was also accidentally arrested.

Matthew was not as gentle to him as he was to Shirley, and threw him directly to the torturer Melda.

Regardless of whether you want to be tortured or not, let’s go through the torture process first.

After the hapless intelligence agent gave everything, he cried and begged the interrogator to give him a good time.

Melda did not want him to die so quickly. People are still useful when they are alive, but they can only be thrown into the fields to fertilize the fields after they die.She abandoned the broken intelligence agent and handed the compiled information to Matthew.

After seeing this information, Matthew finally knew the real purpose of King Crichia against him, which was to eliminate the Lundebel family.

According to imperial law, if Earl Rundebell dies, his territory will be dealt with in the following ways.

The first is to nationalize it, but this method of disposal will definitely not work. The reason is that the imperial throne theoretically belongs to the seven electors. Who will the territory be given to?This is simply provoking a war.

The second is to find a local noble to be promoted to the new Earl of Rundebell.

Rundebell must have an earl, who is also the elector of the empire, but they do not necessarily have to be the Rundebell family.In other words, no matter who becomes the new earl, they are the new Rundebell family.

The Earldom of Lundebel is not too big. There is no viscount under it, but only one baron, and that is Baron Fran.

Matthew suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Hoffenhager family was so interested in Baron Fran's only son. It turned out that they were just waiting.

As long as Matthew is finished and the Rundebell family is extinct, according to imperial tradition, Baron Fran will be designated as the new earl and elector.

The Fran family is also extinct?Who said that the only son of the Fran family is still taking refuge with the Hoffenhager family.

With the support of King Clycia and legal basis, who can stop him?

The Walder Knights and the Angel Legion are both special armed forces. On the surface, they are led by the Holy See, but in fact they have big sponsors behind them.

The financial backers behind the Walder Knights are the Himilun family of the current emperor, while the financial backers behind the Angel Legion are the Hoffenhager family of King Krysia.

Many semi-independent religious armed forces are backed by large families or large financial groups. The Dawson Chamber of Commerce and the United Goblin Chamber of Commerce also have investments in several knights.

Matthew didn't care what they wanted to do, but sticking a knife into him wouldn't do it.

Then we must fight back.

Melda took out a lot of information from Keglu's mouth.Mathieu even knew that Didier Farlan, son of Baron Farlan, would return to Lundebel with tens of thousands of combatants during the second wave of large-scale refugees a few days later.

It was indeed a good plan. Accepting the second wave of refugees was when Matthew's armed forces were at their most dispersed and their combat effectiveness was at its weakest. Returning to Lundbell at this time was indeed a good time choice.

Although Matthew has thousands of private soldiers under his command, and at the extreme he can recruit tens of thousands of militiamen to help in the war, Matthew also has a headache and does not have a suitable military commander.

Matthew had a sober and accurate assessment of his military talents.

Not as good as Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo can lead 40 people to fight. If he loses, he will also lose to the top military strategist Bai Qi. What about him?

Can he go up and talk and laugh with Bai Qi?It's very difficult.

His military skills are good at commanding 2000 people in a small-scale battle, but he doesn't understand a slightly larger war at all.

Among the people around him, only Diana was qualified to lead a large-scale battle, but Diana was gone.Her identity is sensitive, so even here she can only give advice for Matthew behind the scenes and cannot appear in person.

If Diana had led an army, the nature of the battle would have changed.

A few thousand people fighting more than 1 people is almost like a larger village war. However, even in this village war level battle, Matthew has no experience.

He also wanted to have the ability to command millions of troops to win battles when others had just traveled through time, but he didn't.

He must look for excellent military commanders to carry out overall command. If he cannot find one, he can only disperse his troops and engage in mobile warfare with the enemy.

Shirley can also command a battle of thousands of people, but she is [dead] and she cannot appear.

Just when Matthew was at a loss, a guy he had almost forgotten appeared.

Debray, the former trainee knight of the Knights of the Wind, is here.

That day, he went north to the Imperial Capital with urgent information. His horse ran away and almost fell into Lundebel. Matthew gave his black pearl to Debray and asked him to go to the Imperial Capital to report the news.

After completing the mission, the Grand Master of the Knights of the Wind received a personal letter from Matthew, hoping that the trainee knight Debray could come to serve with him.

Although Debray's military talents are very good, he is straightforward and does not know how to adapt. The commander of the regiment is very troubled by him.

Although he was reluctant to part with it, the Knights of the Wind were sponsored by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. He knew that the Dawson Chamber of Commerce was a major investment in Matthew, and coupled with Matthew's status as an elector, he certainly would not have trouble with Matthew because of a young knight.

So, Debray came to Matthew with a transfer order.

He handed over the transfer order to the officials in the city hall, and then walked along the road to the castle to meet his new boss Matthew.Not long after leaving the city, I heard the sound of rapid horse hooves on the road.

Debray squinted and saw that it was Matthew galloping over on a red horse.

He quickly moved to the left side of the road and stepped out of the way to show respect.

He thought that Matthew was in a hurry to go to the city to deal with urgent matters, but he didn't expect that Matthew turned over and jumped down in front of him.

Debray quickly stood at attention and saluted Matthew.

Before he could speak, Matthew gave him a bear hug, then patted him on the shoulder and said loudly:

"It's my luck that General Debray is willing to come!"

Chapter 081 Trust for trust

Wait, why is it the general?I'm just a trainee knight!

Debray looked at Matthew confused.

Of course he didn't know that Matthew had already known everything about his family background.

Matthew knew everything about his background, the battles he had fought, and his abilities from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

To put it simply, this is a military genius, and Matthew has found a treasure this time.

In addition to having a relatively straightforward temper, Debray is also relatively young and is simply a military genius.

He has commanded three battles since his debut.

The first time was to use eight hundred cavalry to advance at night, dismount and enter the camp to sneak attack on the enemy, directly kicking through the camp of tens of thousands of people.

The second time was to use one thousand infantry to block the frontal attack of two thousand cavalry on the frontal battlefield.

The third time was when he led a small force of more than 1000 people to defend a stronghold, holding a small city for 45 days and forcing back tens of thousands of enemy troops.

In the eyes of many people, this is just a small battle worth mentioning, but in Matthew's view, Debray is simply a decathlon.

You can engage in field raids, headwind position battles, or city defensive battles.

Such a military genius is actually just a trainee knight?This is too unfair and must be promoted!

Matthew's words shocked Debray from ear to ear.

Before he could express his refusal or acceptance, Matthew directly grabbed him and headed to the war room of the castle. He wanted to get a better understanding of the talents of this future military commander.

Although Diana has strong military abilities, it is not advisable to trust her too much until she completely changes her attitude.

Shirley is competent and loyal enough now, but we have to wait until she is [resurrected].

Andre could do the job, too, but he's from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

At present, there are no commanders that Matthew can use, so Debray has to work or not.

As a result, the still confused former trainee knight of the Knights of the Wind was forcibly dragged to the combat command room for an interview by Matthew.

After a brief interview, Matthew had a more intuitive understanding of Debray's abilities.

As expected, he is an outstanding young general with a solid theoretical foundation and practical experience.

Matthew didn't ask too much, because if he continued to ask, his little knowledge would show his timidity.

He straightforwardly appointed Debray as the deputy leader of the [Miracle Knights].

The leader of this knighthood is of course Matthew, and the two honorary deputy leaders are Diana and Shirley (although Diana herself does not know this).

In fact, this knight group was the former private army of Matthew's territory. After the Miracle Night, Matthew directly changed the name of his private army to [Miracle Knights] in order to give himself a more sacred package.

Although the Holy See firmly denied it, Matthew still went his own way.

I am the chosen son appointed by the Lord of Holy Light, don’t you admit it?Who are you?

Anyway, there was no conflict between him and the Holy See, so he could just regard the other party's opinions as farts.

As long as he doesn't leave Lundebel, it won't be that easy to deal with him.Although it's not fun to be an earthbound spirit, it's even more frustrating when the enemies try to kill Matthew but can't.

Debray panicked when he heard that Matthew appointed himself brigadier general and deputy head of the knights.

He quickly stood up and said humbly: "Master Matthew, it is no problem for you to ask me to command thousands of people to fight, but if you directly ask me to be the deputy leader of the knights, I am not modest. I really can't do it. You should do something else." Please be smart."

"You can let..."

Debray wanted to say Diana, but thinking that Diana was the deputy captain of the Walder Knights, he couldn't say this.

"I have decided that the most suitable candidate for deputy leader is you!"

Matthew said seriously: "I know what you want to say. You have served in the Knights of the Wind for three years, and your achievements are enough to be the deputy leader, but you have been suppressed. Do you lack qualifications? Do you lack ability?"

Debray's blood was ignited by Matthew.

In fact, he was just being polite and modest. He had already made up his mind to accept this appointment.

Matthew's appointment also gave him a thrill of recognition.

Isn't he the deputy leader of a small knights order with a few thousand people?

He must achieve something.

Under Matthew's fiery gaze, Debray's whole body's blood boiled. He stood up, stood at attention, saluted, and said loudly: "Debray Brasi, deputy leader of the Miracle Knights, is at your disposal. "

"it is good!"

Matthew likes this kind of young man who simply doesn't write ink.Just do it if you are asked to do it, don't let the grinder go.How can we achieve great things in the future without this little bit of responsibility?

Now that he accepted the appointment, Debray was naturally not polite and directly asked Matthew about his next mission.

Matthew handed the information to Debray. The young brigadier thought about the military terrain map of the territory for a moment and laughed heartily.

Before Matthew could ask questions, his eyes flashed with confidence and he said loudly: "Are they here to die?"

Matthew: "..."

Infected by Debray's confidence, Matthew slammed the table and said loudly: "As expected of General Debray, I want to hear your views on this battle."

"In my opinion, this is not a battle at all, this is just a hunt with a trap."
