My players are so fierce

Chapter 346 345. Transia’s government-sponsored overseas students plan?

Murphy flew leisurely and slowly, and it was already afternoon when he returned to Scarlet Castle. He was preparing to walk around his territory for a "private visit in private" according to his daily habits, but he had not finished changing his clothes. , there was a knock on the door of his office.

"Come in."

The vampire lord took off his cloak and said something while wearing only protective leather armor. Then the door opened and a tired-looking Miriam walked in holding a stack of documents.

She slammed those things on Murphy's desk and said to him businesslikely:

"So far, your warriors have detected and registered 5,784 refugees for us."

"How much? Did you say 5 more?"

Murphy was startled by this number and exclaimed:

"It has only been less than five days since this activity began, right? Almost more than a thousand people a day? Where did they find so many refugees? I know that many years of war in Transia have caused many people to be displaced, but this number is too exaggerated. Alright?"

"The actual situation may be somewhat different from what you imagined, Your Majesty the Governor."

Miriam's expression was very ugly.

She pulled up a chair and sat across from Murphy. She opened the information about the refugees she had collected and handed it to Murphy. The latter glanced at it and immediately discovered the clues.

Of the nearly 6,000 people who have been searched and registered so far, only one-third are native Transians, and the remaining two-thirds are all "outsiders."

This unusual statistic made Murphy frown and say:

"I know that the Silver Moon Pride Group used the power of the Chamber of Commerce in Bataxin City to recruit exiles to return home, and I must praise them for knowing how to use superior resources rationally. But these refugees from the Cato region and East Prussia Where did it come from?

I don't remember that I issued an order for the warriors to cross the border to arrest people. "

"That's the problem. Neither you nor anyone else has issued similar orders, but that doesn't stop your warriors from being flexible in this regard,"

Miriam said:

"As far as I know so far, there is a group of warriors who are taking the entrance exam for the Shadow Intelligence Agency and have abducted hundreds of people from the Cato region to come to Transia by spreading the news about the Church of Avalon. And according to them, this is just From the beginning, the number of refugees collected through this channel may eventually exceed thousands.

This is already considered a quite mild approach.

The reception point set up by the Administrative Office in the Under Armor Hills received 600 people at once early this morning. According to our civil servants' secret inspection and inquiries, those people cannot even be said to be refugees!

They were tramps that a group of our warriors disguised as bandits crossed the border of East Prussia and robbed everywhere.

Not only did they bring those people back, they also looted an enemy outpost on the border, kidnapped the Plantagenet soldiers there and sent them over with them. They even very wisely handed over one-third of their harvest to the administrative office.

Similar situations have happened continuously in the past five days. As of today, several small teams have used this method to plunder people from the outside and send them to Transia.

I heard that even the Bloodrat Gang is privately discussing whether to form a slave-catching team to go to the Kafhuoka area to plunder the residents. You also know that our city defense commander Mr. Portman has always been interested in this kind of thing.

He has been very enthusiastic recently in proposing to issue "privateering licenses" to warriors at managers' meetings.

If I hadn't stopped him, he would have personally formed an official slave-catching team. "

The Scarlet Archon felt like her head was going to explode. She rubbed her brows vigorously and said to Murphy, who looked strange:

“I can understand the warriors’ enthusiasm for Transia, and I can also understand that their actions may seem crazy but are actually very efficient, but the problem is that our current situation does not allow us to conflict with our neighbors on this matter.

Murphy, you have to find a way to control your increasingly active warriors. This is not a request but a must!

According to Professor Malcolm's prediction, the number of refugees hidden within the Earldom of Xico alone has reached tens of thousands. Those people who have been searched and registered will be enough to meet our population needs for a period of time.

There is absolutely no need to cause a bigger mess just because of a small population.

The most terrible thing is that your warriors seem to enjoy it, and they regard this despicable behavior as an adventure and feat worthy of bragging.

I'm worried that if they continue to let things go, they will soon have friction with the pioneering regiments stationed in East Prussia, or even worse, start a war that no one wants to see.

You also know that the difficult Marshal Loren is not someone who rubs sand in his eyes. "

Murphy nodded.

But then he looked at the statistical table in his hand and couldn't help but laugh and said:

"But you have to admit that they have done a really good job in this regard. To be honest, I thought it might take them more than ten days to bring us back so many people. Sure enough, as long as morality is willing to slip, solutions are better than difficulties. many."

"dare you laugh!"

Miriam was going crazy.

She thought that Murphy did not understand the seriousness of this matter at all. Just when she suddenly stood up to explain, she saw Murphy wave his hand, and the Governor put the statistical table in his hand on the table and said to Miriam :

"I will immediately introduce a 'patch' to restrain my warriors and prohibit them from going to East Prussia and Kafhoka to engage in this kind of human trafficking. You are right, both from a moral and political perspective At the same time, this kind of behavior is inappropriate at present.

We are not strong enough to act recklessly regardless of what our neighbors think. "

“But what about the Cato area?”

Miriam breathed a sigh of relief, but frowned and said:

"You're not going to care about what's going on over there?"

"It's not that I don't care, it's that there's no need to care."

Murphy knocked on the table and explained to Miriam:

"Although the Cato area is officially part of the Plantagenet Kingdom, you also know that King Louis gave it as a fief to the Wolfsbane vampires after they showed their loyalty to the Wolfsbane clan. It was said to be a reward, but in fact It is an open and honest way to send domestic unstable factors to the front line of facing the black disaster.

Old Edward had to be grateful for this, alas, the kindness of superiors was so heavy and bloody.

In short, my compatriots are currently responsible for managing the gray areas in the Cato region, so the recruitment of refugees there by my warriors can be regarded as the confrontation and friction between the Blood Vulture and Wolfsbane.

You can rest assured that it will not rise to the political level at all.

In addition, as my warriors tricked a group of Avalon believers into coming to Transia, we can see that the natural believers in the Cato region are a very good source of population.

It used to be the location of the southern church of the Church of Avalon. It was separated by a mountain from the Antani area where the border of the Elven Kingdom was located. It was a traditional 'natural belief area'. Now the Church of Avalon is in Transia. Under the circumstances of reconstruction, those believers who have not changed their faith after ten years of war will naturally make a pilgrimage here.

Miriam, you have to understand that this natural population flow does not even require us to contribute to it. We only need to ask President Natalie to send missionaries to go there, and there will be a steady stream of believers coming to us. Migrate sideways.

To sum up, I want to reserve the right for my warriors to move to the Cato region. You must also understand that my warriors are eager to serve the construction cause of Transia, which in itself is a virtue of worship!

We don’t have to reward.

But they must not be suppressed. The enthusiasm they possess can also produce quite positive results through proper guidance. "

"well"

When the Scarlet Archon saw Murphy being so insistent, she had nothing to say.

In fact, before coming here, Professor Malcolm told her that the actions in the Cato area were acceptable, and now it turns out that her history tutor is really good in this regard.

He could even guess Murphy's attitude on this matter, and he was still a little too immature.

After a few seconds of thinking, Miriam rubbed her forehead and said:

"If you insist on letting your warriors operate in the Cato region, then I have a suggestion. Maybe we can take this opportunity to send some talented children to the Genoa Peninsula. The Cato region borders the peninsula.

Walking dozens of kilometers south from Lake Shurpos, you can board the steam train station set up by the halflings on the border between the two places.

Then, you can reach Port Chardeau all the way south, which was also the route I took when I went to school. "

The consul said seriously:

"Professor Malcolm and I have actually been preparing for this. We are sending these children to Chardeau Artisan University to let them participate in a short-term administrative crash course. It only takes more than half a year of study to equip them with the skills to participate. The ability to carry out basic official duties allows them to avoid the coming disaster, and this trip can also invite businessmen from the Batasin Chamber of Commerce to join them on the journey.

If we can complete the contact with the Halfling Chamber of Commerce and factories before the black disaster breaks out, and invite them to send back the equipment we need, our preparations will definitely go much smoother. "

"good idea!"

Murphy's eyes lit up.

He did not take into account the unique geographical location of the Cato region. If he connected with the halflings at this time, at least many of the mechanical products needed in the territory would be available.

The governor thought for a moment and said:

"But whether you are sending children for training or doing business exchanges, you need someone with enough weight to take the lead. I can't let you go. Miriam, you are too important to the entire Transia now. .

So, why not let Professor Malcolm lead the team there?

Didn't his wife always say that she wanted to send the two children back to the halflings? This is just the opportunity. "

"I think so too."

Miriam brushed her hair and said:

"If we want the administrative college of the Chardeau Artisan University to set up a crash course for our children alone, it will only be possible if someone with connections like the professor comes forward, but the cost of their living in Port Chardeau is estimated to be We have to pay for it out of our own pockets, which to be honest is a bit tight given the current finances.”

"The Blood Eagle Clan can provide this money."

Murphy made the final decision:

"You arrange this immediately. You don't have to worry about money. The key is to choose the right person. At present, our grain trade with the Yankees has stabilized. Ms. Palian can accompany Professor Malcolm as a business representative. I I believe in her vision and determination in business.

We need to make a list, including various machine tools and necessary items for industrial production. If possible, I hope she can sign a long-term supply contract with the halfling factory. "

“But what about transportation?”

Miriam said worriedly:

"There is a steam train running through the entire Genoa Peninsula, but that place is not bordering Transia. If you want to transfer from the Cato area, you must discuss it with the Plantagenet Kingdom in advance. Even if that place is now owned by the Wolfsbane Clan Make the decision, but with the confrontation between Blood Vulture and Wolfsbane, I don’t think Old Edward will let go so easily.”

"Oh, what does it have to do with us whether he lets it go? Does Blood Vulture still need Wolfsbane's consent to do things?"

Murphy sneered and said:

"My warriors can defeat the Gray Claw faction, just as they can crush the vampires he arranged in the Cato area. You don't have to worry about these, you just need to make arrangements and plans.

I will find a way to solve the problems in the Cato area.

If that doesn't work, take Lake Sulperth and go upstream along the Cadman River to reach the industrial area of ​​the Under Armor Hills.

If I remember correctly, in the previous division of the border between the Confederation of Portia and the Kingdom of Plantagenet, one-third of the lake's area was owned by Transia, right? "

"That was before the Ten Years' War."

Miriam shook her head and said:

"The current national border is not like that, but I know you will not give in on this kind of thing, so I will make a plan as soon as possible. But with the Murphy Black Disaster, don't take risks!"

"No, Miriam, you still have some problems with your understanding of the black disaster. It is precisely because of the current black disaster that we have to get this matter done as soon as possible."

Murphy squinted his eyes and said:

“Once the Black Disaster is over and Transia loses its ‘united front value’ in the eyes of the kings, it will not be so easy for us to resolve these border issues.

This is the best window period.

Go ahead and get busy.

I need to think again. Don't worry about the warriors' movements. I will restrain them as soon as possible. "

"Um."

Miriam nodded and left the office tiredly. A few minutes later, under Murphy's spiritual call, Grand Duke Tris opened his door.

She saw at a glance that Murphy had hung a map of the Cato area on the wall, and the smart Tris immediately realized what Murphy was thinking.

she says:

"You want to snatch a piece of meat from old Edward's mouth? This is too difficult."

Murphy did not answer immediately. He picked up the charcoal and drew a large circle in the area where the Cato area, Transia and the Genoa Peninsula met. He turned back and said to Tris:

"I just need this border area. I have no interest in other parts of the Cato region, at least not yet. Tris, I need your wisdom. Can you find a reasonable way to help us complete this matter?"

"I'm not a god, how can I give you a solution immediately?"

Tris rolled her eyes cutely. She stepped forward and looked at the map. After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and said:

"You can see the value here. It's impossible for old Edward not to see it. In fact, I think he used loyalty as a price to exchange the underground management rights of the Cato area from King Louis, probably because he wanted to reach into the Genoa Peninsula and Get enough benefits from it.

From this point of view, if you want that old bastard to give up here, it is equivalent to directly declaring war on him.

But maybe we can think differently. "

Tris crossed her arms and took a step back. She said:

“If this area becomes part of the Black Disaster Defense Line, I mean, if this area can be controlled by another force that is kind to us and is strong enough to fight against the Wolfsbane Clan, then we can gain some initiative.

Do you understand who I'm referring to? "

"Um."

Murphy stretched out his hand and drew a line on the map as Tris watched. He nodded and said:

"The Capet family. To be precise, Major Fraser, he is the commander-in-chief of the Plantagenet Kingdom's military observation group stationed in Transia.

He should have a command station that can ensure safety and at the same time form a powerful clamp on the black disaster situation.

The Crimean Fortress is directly connected to the line of Lake Shulpers through the Filthy Swamp, which can form a solid line of defense to keep the Jackals out of Transia and the central part of the continent.

Trish!

You are simply a genius. "

"Hey, I am."

Tris snorted and let Murphy hold her slender waist, and then she whispered to Murphy:

"Your warriors are discussing the establishment of a large slave-catching team on the forum. I don't think you will let them complete this task, right?

Their moral bottom line should not have slipped so quickly, and the current situation is indeed not that bad. "

"I will stop them, but I can't force them and dictate what they have to do. That will make them lose the fun and expectation of the game."

Murphy withdrew his gaze from the map in front of him. He leaned over and kissed Tris on the forehead and whispered:

"I have to think of a way to draw their attention away from slave hunting, make a good introduction, or hold an event that can attract the attention of most people. It has to be interesting and satisfying. The reward must not be more boring than robbing slaves.

I think it's time for our two-person development team to give some benefits to our hard-working warriors. The best thing is, we have just such a thing on hand that can meet all these requirements.

Um!

It’s time to start the first ‘Transian Boxing Fight’. "
