Since Britney herself said so, Cressia could only agree to Cross's request.

The reason why Cross wants Britney to be the commander is not because of Britney's military ability.

In Cross's eyes, although Britney is the captain of the guards of Sunset City, when it comes to military ability, she is far from being compared to Cross.

Cross's request to Cressia was mainly for other reasons.

First of all, Britney's own combat power is strong, not to mention that she can defeat one against a hundred, at least easily with one against ten.

In addition to this, there is a more important point, which is that Britney and Cressia have a pretty good relationship.

If Britney was the commander of the first line of defense, Cressia would certainly not hide in Sunset City and watch a show, and when war really broke out, Cressia would definitely lend a hand.

In this way, defending the first line of defense is not only the task of Copperhill, but also the town can reduce losses in the conflict with the Seatta army.

Of course, the clever Cresia was well aware of Clos's thoughts, but in front of Cross, a descendant of the Dragon King, the young princess had no self-confidence, and Britney's "stupid" behavior also made Cressia lose the opportunity to shirk.

"Lord Cross, you don't need any other support, do you?" said Cresia, making final confirmations.

"No, Princess Cresia. Moreover, the first line of defense has been built, and I will wait for your equipment. ”

"Is this stronghold the first line of defense?" asked Cresia.

"Yes. ”

"I don't think such a fortress can last long when it comes to the Seatta army. "It was Britney who spoke.

Cross smiled silently, he didn't want to argue with them, because they didn't understand the meaning of the first line of defense.

"It seems that Lord Cross is quite confident in this stronghold, and in that case, I don't have any advice.

By the way, Your Excellency, please take me to Reiner. ”

"Princess Cresia, just wait here, and I'll call Reiner. ”

"It's fine. ”

......

Crecia and Britney waited as they walked up to the top of the Stronghold, offering an unobstructed view of the entire town of Copperhill.

All the people of Copperhill were working, but no Hoffil was found, and they were both surprised when they saw the pit beneath their feet.

Especially Cressia, "this...... Is this big pit the second line of defense!?"

"Like...... That's all I can think of......" Britney chimed in.

Cross Klein ...... Why could he think so far ahead, he had just learned the information of the Seatta army, why was he so well prepared......

"Your Royal Highness, don't forget, he is a descendant of the Dragon King Antara!"

"Britney, I haven't forgotten, I just think that all of his talents are above the Dragon King Antara. ”

"It's a good thing for us. ”

"Well, it's a good thing that Cross is not our enemy. ”

......

When Cressia meets Reiner, she asks Reiner to stay in Copperhill and follow Cross.

And, promising Cross that all the equipment would be delivered by Britney this evening.

Then, she and Britney went back to Sun City together.

Watching them leave, Cross felt worried, he was worried about Nia, Lancelot, and Gawain.

It's been so many days, and there's still no news from them.

At this moment, Reiner, who was beside him, suddenly spoke, "Lord Cross, those craftsmen are waiting for your reward." ”

Before building the Stronghold, Cross told all the Craftsmen that if they could complete the Stronghold within 5 days, he would reward everyone for eating meat.

Now that the craftsmen had indeed built the Fortress in advance, the rewards naturally needed to be cashed in.

"Thanks for the reminder, Reiner, I almost forgot. ”

Cross was about to get up, but was stopped by Reiner, "Lord Cross, take the liberty of asking, you shouldn't just reward them with broth, right?"

Cross was stunned, and there was a reason why Reiner would ask like this.

Most of the so-called rewards of lords and nobles are deceptive, such as rewarding eating meat, some lords and nobles have proposed such rewards for a long time, but in the end, he only gave the reward broth.

In the eyes of such lords and nobles, drinking broth to commoners was already a good reward, and it was already equivalent to eating meat.

Reiner may have met such a nobleman before, that's why he asked.

Cross patted Reiner on the shoulder, "It's not the reward broth, I'm talking about the rewarding meat."

Kill the wild boar you have caught in the mountains these days, one is not enough to kill two. ”

This time, Reiner froze in place for a moment. He had long experienced that Cross was different, but he never expected that this lord would be so generous.

He came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Cross, and said in a powerful voice, "Yes! ”

......

The two wild boars were made into roast pigs, and the fragrance immediately attracted all the residents of Copperhill, including the Hofers who were still digging holes, and they poked their heads out of the ground one by one, and their saliva could not stop flowing.

After this time, all the lords of Copper Mountain Town have a deeper trust in their lord.

Looking at the laughing people, Cross sat on the ground satisfied, but he couldn't laugh, he couldn't let go of Nia and the others who went to Blackwater Town.

At this time, Tina, who was wearing a double ponytail, walked up to Cross and said coquettishly, "Your Excellency Cross, I want to eat ...... too"

"No, it's a reward for them. ”

"Hmm......" Tina pouted, looking unhappy.

"Tina, is your alchemy possible to make mecha?"

"yes, can you reward me for a barbecue when I've made it?"

Cross didn't answer.

Wendy walked over with a piece of roast meat, "Your Excellency, you are also a member of the construction of the Stronghold, and you deserve this reward. ”

Cross waved his hand, his eyes melancholy.

"Cross if you don't eat it, give it to me. ”

Tina, who was on the side, was ready to reach out and grab it.

"Lord Lord, I'm definitely worried about Nia. "The voice is from Ulala.

Cross turned his head to see that the round Hofer Empress Ulala was walking towards him.

"Lord Lord, they will be fine, although I have not met them, and you rarely mention them, but I know that you care about them very much, Lord Cross, the person you care about must be smart and excellent people, such people will not be in trouble. ”

Ulala's words made Cross feel better, and Wendy and Tina comforted him sensibly.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Lord Cross!"
