Ride and Cut

"Impossible." Anne put down her quill and waved her hands again and again, "His Majesty Belluni is very suspicious. In order to prevent rebellion, he took the jurisdiction of the military mages all over the country to the king's capital at the beginning of his ascension, and only released it to the army during wartime."

"It's actually a peaceful time now?" Gunther felt that he had done three things since he came to Alpine Fort, that is, fighting, fighting and fighting. He thought it should be similar in other places.

Hurt patted Gunther on the shoulder, grinning, not knowing what to say.

"You still understand this?" The lord was taken aback when he saw the half-elf. In his impression, Anne was a complete obsessed with money, and basically had no eyes for things other than making money.

Annie was no less surprised than him. "Back then, both the supporters and the opponents were very loud, and the trouble was known to everyone in the world. How come you don't even know about it?"

"Back then, exactly how many years ago does this year refer to?" Li Cha racked his brains and couldn't remember which year this "everyone knows" incident happened, as if he was not a human being.

"I can't remember clearly, it must have been more than twenty years."

"..." The lord asked calmly, "Guess how old I was then."

"..."

This misunderstanding is quite interesting. Half-elves and humans have completely different growth cycles, resulting in slightly different intuitive feelings about time.

"I don't think there is any need to worry about this issue at all." Buckland brought up the topic of deviation. "Since he will be reduced to the garrison army, let alone his own ability, but the resources he can mobilize are definitely limited. It is unlikely that he will be a mage accompanying the army, a magic consultant, or he himself is a mage."

This speculation has no basis in reality, but it is undoubtedly very reasonable. Qualified spellcasters are scarce resources in any country, and it is said that there are less than 10,000 low-level and above mages registered in the entire human world.

"Therefore, nine times out of ten, the opponent's spellcasting power is not as good as that of our Alpine Fortress. They should be the ones to worry about."

"Are you right, Abu?" Buckland found it a little funny when he saw the lizard man with his mouth half open, dumbfounded, silent from beginning to end, turning his head to look at whoever spoke.

"Hey." Abu rubbed the back of his head and lowered his head, giggling.

As a little soil turtle who has never been out in the wilderness, he really found these things very fresh and interesting, compared to how boring he was in the tribe before.

"There are only 3,000 people, and there are no mages accompanying the army. In this case..." The lord clenched his fist with his right hand and smashed it into the palm of his left hand, setting the tone, "I've decided, if they dare to come, don't even think about going back."

Pompeii didn't have the organization of the garrison army, which roughly corresponded to the security unit, and Li Chamen knew what level it was - when Yuan was doing petty theft on the street, he had a lot of dealings with this group of people.

Generally speaking, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is worth ten, and really making them fight tough is to forcibly create widows.

"Only?" Buckland felt that this word was used arrogantly. As the head of internal affairs, even the lord couldn't be more aware of the situation in Alpine Fort than he was.

He quickly calculated in his mind that there were 300 full-time soldiers under the guard, and their combat effectiveness was unquestionable, with no other shortcomings except the small number of people. But even if all the citizens who can participate in the war are mobilized, this number will never exceed six hundred.

The strength of the troops will be one-fifth of the opponent's! He actually had the nerve to say "there are only three thousand people", and he pretended to be stable. Buckland firmly wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, took out the golden oak leaf from his collar and stuck it between his eyebrows.

"Yes!" The leaders of the guard stood up abruptly, and when the leather boots on both sides touched, there was a crisp sound.

Buckland, who was thinking about something, was taken aback. He really didn't expect that this group of people who usually knew how to eat a lot just by looking at them, could have such a concise and capable performance.

Abu also kept up with the rhythm of several older buddies.

He dragged his long tail and stood on a chair. He was barely as tall as the others, but he was as imposing. Although the Skaar lizardmen are short in stature, their brave nature is not a little bit inferior because of this.

"Annie, when the time comes, I will give you all the spoils." Li Cha was still a little excited when he thought about it. He used to fight against the poor in the wilderness. This is the first time he has fought against humans. Maybe there will be a lot of war money.

"No problem." The half-elf businessman nodded and smiled, and the succession of big business came to her door, making her look radiant.

"Aren't we asking for help?" Buckland's small eyes blinked behind his glasses.

"Help? Please fuck!" The lord slapped the table, "The meeting is over."

The leaders of the guard walked away happily, and Buckland looked at their backs worriedly, "I don't think everyone is nervous."

"Let's be a layman. It's not easy for an army to attack. It takes time to prepare just for supplies." The lord put Erlang's legs on Buckland's shoulders. "We still have at least half a month. If you start to be nervous at this time, it's a fart."

"Then we can sell all the ancient weapons, and then go to Cologne to mercenary." Buckland had an idea and came up with a brilliant idea, and the time was completely in time.

"Antiques can't be sold in a hurry, or you'll lose your money if the price is lowered." Li Cha vetoed the opposition party's proposal with one vote.

Anne's face became ugly. She couldn't deny that she was a businessman, and at the same time couldn't accept the notoriety of treachery.

"Well, Miss Anne, I didn't mean you." The lord immediately realized that he was scolding baldness in front of a monk.

Thousands of people in the entire Alpine Fort began to work, preparing for the upcoming war.

The hill is located on the west side of the river. Considering that it took so long to build it, Richard decided to place the preset battlefield on the east side of the river.

The leaders of Jieshi faced each other across the river and hid enough to ensure safety, and the flatter terrain on the east bank was also conducive to the Skaar Land Walking Dragon playing a decisive role.

The troll Ha began to run to the river every day to use the soil fertilization technique, with jerky as a reward, and his enthusiasm was quite high. Weeds and reeds soon began to grow wildly at an astonishing speed, like a green city wall adjacent to the river bank.

In order to make everything look more realistic, Li Cha ordered people to build a fake lord's hall on the east bank of the river, trying to be eye-catching and using a lot of wood to make it tall. Annie also lent him the emblem of Voya Company, which was hung side by side with a pair of crossed swords and shields on the door wall, which looked more like that.

The real hall on the hill is a semi-subterranean building, and it has never been decorated with emblems. Let Li Cha judge by himself, this fake is more authentic and more stylish than the real one.

At the same time, the centaur rangers began to wander in groups of several people three times a day, looking for any trouble around them.
