All the contract girls want to marry me

Chapter 092 Who are you going to deal with?

Returning to the city hall, it was completely dark.

The fire in the valley was completely out of control.

Even if Matthew exhausted his mana to summon a heavy rain, it could not be extinguished.

After a simple attempt, Matthew chose to give up. He ordered the surrounding villagers to shovel out fire isolation belts to prevent the spread of wildfires.

But even if the wildfires are extinguished, no one will dare to take this road.

This expensive, detour-reducing road was ruined.

Matthew did not hesitate to put the blame on the Hoffenhager family.

How could Histini set fire to the mountain here if they hadn't invaded Rundbel.

The death of more than 1 people and the complete burning of Bell Mountain were all caused by the Hoffenhager family.

Matthew made a vicious note to the Hoffenhage family.

This account may not be settled now, but one day he will lead his army into the City of Thousand Towers to talk to Her Majesty Jessica about life.

Someone had to be responsible for this fire, and it certainly couldn't be him.

Matthew held an emergency military and political meeting in the city hall to assign various tasks.

The resettlement of refugees continues as planned and is under the responsibility of Mayor Brun.

Before Mayor Bren could complain, Matthew interrupted him with anticipation.

"Mayor Bren, I know it is difficult to resettle 30 refugees, but no one can do it except you. I can rest assured that you will do the job."

At this point, Mayor Bren knew that nothing he said could change anything, so he had no choice but to propose a compromise plan.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to shirk responsibility, but I hope Miss Surante can come to the city hall often to guide the work."

Faced with Mayor Bren's request, Matthew naturally agreed.Without having the roof removed, why can't we open a window?

Surante is very good at coordination, planning and mathematical calculations.With her help, the work efficiency of the city hall can indeed be improved a lot.

Although government affairs are complicated, they are not a top priority.What really worries Matthew is military affairs.

The second unit of Hoffenhager's army was led by veteran Karl, who had served in the army for more than 150 years and was the mainstay of the imperial army.

He has fought too many battles to count.

According to incomplete statistics, General Karl has participated in 75 battles involving more than 45 people, and he has been the commander of more than [-] battles.

The most suffocating thing is that in the battles he personally commanded, there was only one failure, several draws, and all others were victories.

Seeing Matthew's brows furrowed and silent, Debray knew it was time for him to take the stage.

As a subject, you must share your master's worries at such times.

He tentatively made a suggestion, "Your Majesty, we have two thousand prisoners here. Maybe we can negotiate with General Karl through these two thousand prisoners."

Matthew was almost amused. He smiled and asked, "Then what conditions should we put forward? Can we be more dignified when we surrender?"

Debray was speechless.

Matthew suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "This old guy Carl is just a branch of the Hoffenhager family. His status in King Jessica's mind is far inferior to that playboy."

"If he goes back in such despair, there is no way he can explain it to the king. Maybe the king is too intimidated by his achievements now and dare not touch him, but what about after he dies?"

Matthew didn't finish, but Debray already understood.

If you can't take care of the old guy, won't you be able to take care of his descendants after he dies?Unless the old guy can do something to make King Jessica happy.

So now there is only one way in front of old Karl, take down Lundebel and kill Matthew.

Didier was burned to death in the valley. Who saw the body?Why would you say he was dead when you didn't see a body?

As long as you find a substitute, you can still claim the Earldom of Lundebel.

Even if there are doubts, will anyone seek justice for a dead man?

A son can still be reborn after his death. Family ties are a joke in front of the imperial power.As long as Matthew's dog head is chopped off, King Jessica will gain both fame and fortune.

Since there is no hope for peace, we can only fight to the end.

Debray stood up and examined Matthew.

"Lord Earl, I should not have dismissed those 4000 people. Although it will improve combat effectiveness in the long run, it will also result in us having no usable troops now."

Matthew looked at Debray's embarrassed expression, smiled and motioned for him to sit down.

"Debre, your emotional intelligence is much higher than before. But there is no need for this with me."

"This is not your fault. The reduction of these 4000 people has not affected the combat effectiveness of our army. If we insist on finding a responsible person, is it a bigger mistake for me to judge that the number of enemies is only more than 1?"

"War has always been a cruel game of trying to see who makes fewer mistakes and can better catch the other side's mistakes."

"Debre, don't blame yourself, I still need you to show your talents next."

Although Matthew's actual command ability is not as good as Debray's, he can fool him.

A meal of chicken soup was poured down, forcing Debray to burst into tears, and secretly vowed to work hard for Matthew.

Debray did not expect that Matthew had no intention of passing the blame to him.If there is a problem, someone will naturally have to take the blame.Matthew doesn't take the blame, and Matthew's woman doesn't take the blame, so it's naturally his fault.

But as moved as they are, they still have to face reality.

Karl is not a useless general like Didier who makes his enemies ecstatic.

The [-] elite combat troops he led were far superior to Didier's army.

These people are all veterans who have fought with Karl for many years. They have rich combat experience and are skilled in cooperation.On the frontal battlefield, it can completely match an ordinary army of about [-].

Although the combat effectiveness of the army under Matthew is stronger than that of ordinary armies, it is not as good as them.

How to deal with them?

Just when Debray was at a loss, Kalainen came in and whispered a few words in Matthew's ear.

Matthew slammed the table hard and said with a smile: "Please come in, Mr. Andre!"

Soon, Andre, dressed in military uniform, walked into the venue.

Matthew directly asked him to sit down on his left hand side and said with a smile: "Andre, you came just in time. I am about to fight to the death with the Hoffenhager family. Are you willing to fight side by side with me?"

When Andre heard that there was a battle, his expression that had been gloomy just now suddenly brightened.

"Really? That's great. I came to you just to practice on the battlefield. By the way, this time I brought five thousand of my own private soldiers."

Matthew was also very happy when he heard this number.This is really a pillow to use when you feel sleepy.

He patted Andre on the shoulder hard and said with a smile: "If you can help me, this battle will be secure."

Andre was a little curious.He knew that the people coming this time were members of the Hoffenhage family, but he didn't know who the general was.

"Who is here to die this time?"

"Karl Hoffenhager!"

"It turns out to be this old man..." Andre stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

He looked at Matthew dumbfounded and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Matthew, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that old Karl... let's do this, I'll find someone to help you mediate. If you have anything, please Can we sit down and talk slowly?"

Matthew suppressed his smile and snorted softly: "Since you won't go, then this honor belongs to me. I didn't expect that the disciples of [Hidden Sword Saint] are also cowards."

Chapter 093

Andre looked at Matthew and was stunned for five seconds. He suddenly lay down on his bed and patted the table while laughing.

"Matthew, is this your way of provoking a general? Isn't it too clumsy?"

Yes, this method of provoking generals is indeed very clumsy.

"Just tell me whether you agree or not." Matthew simply lied on the spot.

The Dawson Chamber of Commerce invested heavily in him and even sent the president's son with [-] private soldiers to publicly support him. It is strange that he is willing to back down now.

He's got Andre.

"He is indeed a despicable and cunning guy. Since you say so, I have no choice but to agree."

Andre sat up, put on a lazy expression, and looked at Matthew with a half-smile, his tone a little more frivolous, "Hey, can I help you with this? You owe me again. A favor.”

Matthew spread his hands, indicating that it didn't matter.Anyway, I owed it more than once, so I won’t miss it this time.

Seeing the blazing fire in Andre's eyes, Matthew knew that this guy was just pretending.

As a close disciple of the Hidden Sword Saint, he has excellent swordsmanship, but what he lacks is actual combat experience.Here with Matthew, he can fight with others reasonably and legally, so how can he be timid?

Even if Matthew wanted to reconcile, Andre would put a sword on his neck and force him to fight to the end.

Andre is the son of a merchant family. He has no sense of belonging to the Claire Empire. He just wants to become stronger through fighting.

Everyone wants to become a super strong person by relying on their own strength. The path they take is different. You cannot repeat or imitate other people's paths.

Unless you advance by refining the super-level energy core, you have to explore it yourself.

Andre's path to the top is all about killing and fighting.

The military meeting ended quickly. Because we now knew nothing about Karl's location, we could only remain vigilant and adapt accordingly.

The only thing that is certain is that trying to deal with Karl through a simple strategy like an ambush is just asking for humiliation.

If you want to defeat Karl, you have to win on the frontal battlefield.

In recent days, all the contractors, except Carlisle and Surante, have been practicing hard in seclusion.

Although it may not be of any use, what if it breaks through?

Doing something is better than doing nothing.

The meeting ended and everyone dispersed, leaving only Matthew and Andre.

There is a question that has been on Matthew's mind since just now. It is not convenient to ask it during the meeting. Now that there are only two of them, it can be asked.

"Andre, where did Miss Deanna go? Also, what happened to Shirley's family?"

Andre's expression was uncertain. After a long time, he finally sighed and said softly: "The empire's situation in Groningen Province is very unfavorable. In addition to the Kingdom of Perth, a new one has recently appeared on the grassland. King Zalandin, this man unified the Monan Grassland, called himself the Whip of the Gods, and led 20 nomadic cavalry into Groningen."

Matthew's expression changed slightly.

He knew that the prairie people would come, but he didn't expect that they would actually be unified.

No wonder there are so many refugees arriving recently, I see.

The refugees only knew about the plundering of nomads and did not know which country or tribe they belonged to.Andre's news couldn't have come at a better time.

If Zalandin really came, the total number of enemies entering Groningen would exceed 50.

A military operation of this scale just to carve up a province?I'm afraid they don't believe it themselves.

The top leaders of the empire have been arguing about whether to keep Groningen or abandon Groningen.But this quarrel should now come to an end.

The question now is not whether Groningen can be saved, but whether the seven provinces in the southwest of the empire can be saved.

Faced with the pressure of powerful foreign enemies, no one opposed the war.Everyone's idea is simple: kill these stupid invaders.

If the Claire Empire can be integrated nationwide, its comprehensive strength can knock Zalandin and the Perth Kingdom together to the ground and beat them violently.

Unfortunately, the Claire Empire is a fragmented empire, and it is difficult to integrate all its forces.

Just when the country was being invaded, King Crichia, one of the imperial electors, not only did not want to help Matthew who was gathering refugees, but also sent an army of [-] to kill Matthew.

This is the state of the empire.

As long as the Claire Empire can be a little more united, it won't be in disarray.

Unity has indeed occurred in the history of the empire, that is, large-scale foreign invasion.

The joint invasion of Zalandin and the Kingdom of Perth meets the conditions that trigger Claire's unity.But before we can unite, we must deal with those who are not united, such as Karl.

After talking about the situation in the empire, Andre said softly: "Miss Diana's Walder Knights were recruited to participate in the Patriotic War. She asked me to say sorry to you. This is her personal letter."

Andre handed Matthew a handwritten letter.

Matthew, who was holding the handwritten letter, was a little confused.

Recruited for war?
