Lord of War

Sean's return was indeed an extremely sensational event in the entire Panda Territory.

After appearing from the border of the Canyon Rift, Alfred immediately led three thousand Thunder Lions to escort Sean and the others back. And when this army returned to the vicinity of the Void City, Neil, William, and even the city defense army led by the Void City went out to meet them. Of course, such a big move could not be deceived by anyone, and only Heately, who focused on saving The human chief priests did not find out.

However, such an arrangement was naturally made by Neil on purpose.

In this way, although everyone will know that the situation in the territory has suffered heavy losses this time, and even Sean was injured, at least no one will disturb Sean at this time. In other words, even if you really want to bother Sean at this time, it would be a very poor thing if you don't have a gift that you can afford, especially at a time when many churches are staring at the interview with Sean.

Therefore, when Sean returned to the Void City, even though the whole city was a sensation, when Sean entered the Lord's Mansion, no one came to harass him.

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

Fortunately, with the help of William and the garrison of the Void City, it is not particularly difficult to reorganize and build this camp. So when these new wounded soldiers returned to the Void City, they were naturally sent to this camp as soon as possible. Competing with the Goddess of Life, although both sides are gods with high divine power, the effects will of course be different in different areas of focus.

At least, everyone in the entire continent knows that Goddess of Life deserves to be number one in terms of divine healing.

What William didn't expect was that when he arranged for the wounded to be sent there this time, the priests of the Goddess of Life seemed to have anticipated this situation, so they had already arranged related matters from a long time ago. All the work is being carried out quickly and orderly, which saves a lot of trouble. At least it was much better than in the beginning, these people didn't have contact with so many wounded, so it was much better to make a mess.

When William returned to the lord's mansion after finishing everything, Neil just finished explaining all the developments of the territory in the past half a year.

Neil had made detailed records of these things, even the corresponding policies and transfers of Void City, etc. Although Neil did not intervene in Rude's policies, he still had some understanding, so it was not necessary to describe them. It's not too difficult. Of course, in terms of details, Rude still needs to supplement and report.

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 in charge of, because I have told Sean intermittently before, so at this moment, I will pick some more important things recently. speaking.

For example, the establishment of the Thunder Lion, the reconstruction of the dark wings, etc., but in the end the topic returned to the Cecilia Guards and Rena's 1st Cavalry.

"Currently the top priority is to ensure the replenishment of Cecilia's Guards and the First Cavalry Regiment." Sean frowned slightly, and then said, "As for the level of the army,

William, you can negotiate with Clover after he gets better and see if he has any ideas. ...And the current focus is to restore the strength of Ruina's First Cavalry Regiment first. I think a thousand people should be about the same, right? "

"That's enough, my lord." Reina nodded. Now her strength is the next gold powerhouse, stronger than all the people present, "If there are more people, I'm afraid I won't be able to command. It is an extremely unfavorable behavior on the battlefield."

William glanced at Rina, and couldn't help but nodded secretly.

Rui Na's statement is indeed correct. It is not that the more troops commanded by a commander, the better. It also depends on the commander's ability and the number of middle-level officers in the troops under his command. If the number is too small, Then many orders cannot be issued accurately, even if there is only a second of negligence on the battlefield, the result is likely to be a ruin.

Not everyone has the courage to bear such a loss.

William could see that Rena's actions in the wild land this time were more advanced than before.

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

"Ten people." William sighed, and said helplessly, "Rud spent a lot of money on these people before. Although I haven't arranged a commander after I recruited them, it really saved me a lot. Trouble... Although Rude is now in the Void City, it is not difficult to retrain a batch of such heavy cavalry, but the time is a little too late."

"Then let these people join Rena'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, Rena It can also be more convenient and quicker to command and order, and the size of the army can also be expanded. ⒒..., the level of 2,000 people should be no problem, right?"

Sean said the last words to Rina.

"I don't think so. With a little training, at least a 3,000-strong army can be formed." William glanced at Rui Na, and seemed to be evaluating the feasibility of this matter in his heart. Na replied, "But the biggest problem in our territory at present is the shortage of war horses.... These war horses are no better than ordinary horses. Our territory does not have its own horse farm, and war horses can only be obtained through procurement. But now our territory In the current situation, it may be difficult to purchase war horses."

"Don't worry about this, we still have an ally in the Fascist Kingdom." Sean smiled, "If this ship is entrusted to him, it can probably be easily resolved. ... Besides, I also have some I want to talk to him about something, and I haven’t had a chance to thank him since he helped rescue Elsie last time.”…Neil, you can help me write an invitation letter later and send it to him. "

"Your Excellency Florence Wiles?" Neil asked, and after seeing Sean nodding, Neil continued, "The cost of war horses is not low, and it is definitely a fortune for our current territorial situation. A huge burden..." At least, it will increase the expenditure by more than 50%, which will make the territory unable to make ends meet, and will enter a financial deficit within two months. After four months at most, you will go bankrupt, Lord Lord. "

"It's meaningless to just form a thousand light cavalry." Sean couldn't help frowning, "Such troops are of no value at all except for scouting and some local battle support on the battlefield."

"Even if it's 3,000 light cavalry, it's not worth much on the battlefield." William commented unceremoniously.

"Who said it was three thousand light cavalry?"

"If it is three thousand heavy cavalry, then my lord, you will enter a financial deficit in one month, and go bankrupt in one and a half to two months." This time it was Neil who answered Sean's whimsy, "To be honest, lord My lord, your investment in military issues has already accounted for two-thirds of the overall expenditure of the entire territory. The construction of many facilities and related government orders have been postponed indefinitely, not to mention that there are still several places in the Void City that require large sums of money. investment."

"How to support war with war?" Sean's daydream still did not give up.

"Who are we fighting?" William asked back.

"The Kingdom of Dabion." Sean said unceremoniously, "I have already thought of excuses, and I guess the Nugus family will not be able to stand it soon mm I guess within a month, the other party will definitely come to provoke. At that time, we can use this excuse to invade the Kingdom of Darbion."

"Even if I send an invitation letter to His Excellency Florentine now, although he himself can arrive within two months, if the transportation of the horses is included, it may take more than half a year." Neil said in a deep voice, "This is not enough Counting the possible risks on the road, if all of these are included, the delivery time of the war horse will probably be longer....My lord, can you please think of something more realistic."

"Could it be that there is no way to replenish Ruina's troops?... How did you find that Dongduo warhorse back then?"

"My lord, those... are not war horses in the true sense." Seeing some signs of madness from Sean, Rena hesitated, and decided to use the cruel reality to wake Sean up, "Those are better with ordinary feet." It’s just the horses that Mr. Neil tried to smuggle from the Kingdom of Darbion. The war horses you saw later were all snatched by us in the wilderness, but the number is only a hundred or so. .”

At this time, Sean suddenly remembered that Reina's mount was not white, but later he saw her was white. At that time, Sean was still wondering, but now he finally understood after hearing Reina's explanation.

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

Originally, there were a lot of things waiting for Sean to deal with, and Sean originally thought that military issues were very simple, and they should be dealt with relatively quickly, so that he could discuss with Neil about the territory The development pole, the situation and the future plan, and then find a way to solve the problem of a large number of priests staying in the void city. When facing these fanatics, even Sean had to think of a reasonable excuse, otherwise he would truly offend all beliefs in the entire continent, which was not a burden Sean could currently bear.

But the result was unexpected. The military aspect of the territory was indeed not difficult, but in the end the discussion did not have a complete result after all, which 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 those few million should be enough.

It's just that Xiao En didn't expect that when a general lord develops a territory, he starts with internal affairs first, and 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 has even been using sophisticated or even high-quality equipment to arm the army. This is naturally a great consumption of a territory. Yi Ling, Sean has already gone bankrupt.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

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

The other party was wearing a hooded cloak, so that people could not see the appearance under the cloak.

But Xiao En and the others also knew that everyone in the Lord's Mansion knew that they were in a meeting. If it wasn't for someone with a very urgent or high status, it would be impossible to push the door in. After all, they are now in charge of the safety of the Lord's Mansion. Yes, it is Alfred's new subordinate: the Thunder Lion, this is a very strong and powerful army.

"Who are you?" Sean frowned.

"It's me." The man under the cloak replied, the voice was a female, and it even made Sean feel unusually familiar.

After hesitating for a moment, Sean stood up abruptly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Master Asuna! Why did you come here?"

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

bad news! ?

Hearing this, not only Sean, but also the other people in the conference room were obviously stunned. [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @偶世尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
