Volume II: Academy Chapter 0203: The Way Home
In the early morning of the next day, more than 300 people marched eastward.
As for why there are nearly 100 more people, it is not because of those sergeants, they want to follow Renard to eat and drink spicy food, naturally they will not leave their families to suffer here.
So there were dozens more mouths in the team to eat, and these people needed to be fed by Renard at his own expense.
Of course, he would not take them in out of kindness, but because these sergeants were useful.
According to Leopold's letter, in the past few months, the Chanel clothing brand has become more and more popular, and has even become popular in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.
As the industry grows bigger and bigger, it is natural to recruit all kinds of people, such as coachmen, guards, coolies, and so on.
And these sergeants are a good choice, needless to say, how high the consumption level of the imperial capital is, the labor cost will naturally rise with the tide, and the labor force in these remote areas is very worthless.
Renard promised to take care of food and housing, and only gave forty percent of the wages of long-term workers in the imperial capital, which made these guys who had never seen the world dizzy.
He was a little speechless, no wonder there were so many people who traveled thousands of miles to work in the past, just because the local labor force was really worthless.
If it weren't for the fact that there were only about two dozen sergeants left in Moonlight Town, he would really want to cover them all.
After all, there is a big gap between eating public meals and eating private meals, you have to have someone to eat public meals, and you have to have real skills to eat private meals.
The worst Robert is a mid-level samurai, and the strongest has already entered the ranks of high-level samurai, so it's no better for such a person to be a guard or coolie.
If these sergeants, who are still full of beautiful yearning for a new life, know Lei Ye's thoughts, I'm afraid they will rush up and strangle him together.
Unlike when she came, because of the war, Alice no longer has the right to use the magic teleportation array, which means that everyone has to spend forty days to return to the academy, which makes the students who originally wanted to go back to rest earlier complain.
Alice turned a deaf ear to this, and if anyone dared to make too much trouble, I am afraid that they would inevitably be beaten up.
After exiting the Golden Silk Willow City, the team stopped and stopped, and it took a full ten days to reach the junction of the Golden Silk Willow Province and the Mandala Province.
There was a small town here, with a small population, only two or three thousand, and considering the physical strength of the people, Alice ordered a two-day rest here.
Renard took out a map to determine the location of the team, and further east was the province of Mandala, which meant that they were completely free from the threat of the orcs.
As he fiddled with the map, he said to Alice with a smile: "Your father, the Prince of Wales, is really worthy of being His Majesty's own brother, and he can actually obtain such a large fief. ”
The province of Mandala was the largest of the fourteen provinces of the Constantinople Empire, with an area of 980,000 square kilometers, and was also the most populous, with more than 33 million.
Unlike the province of Golden Silk Willow, Mandala Province has many vast plains, producing more than thirty times more grain than the Four Seasons Plain, and is the most important grain producing area of the Constantinople Empire.
And the actual controller of this province, which is almost the lifeblood of the empire's food, is Alice's father, the Prince of Wales.
When Alice heard his words, she couldn't help frowning, and immediately retorted: "Please pay attention to your words, this is not my father's fiefdom, he is just the governor of the province. ”
Renard shrugged: "What's the difference, take off your pants and fart." ”
Alice knew that his dog couldn't spit ivory out of his mouth, and she didn't bother to pay attention to him, and began to enjoy her meal quietly.
Suddenly, Renard seemed to remember something, and said with a wicked smile: "Your Highness Alice, do you still remember our agreement?"
Alice looked at him puzzled, with a puzzled expression on her face: "What agreement?"
With a wicked smile on his face, Renard repeated, "If we survive this war, you can let me touch ......"
Before the word thigh could be spoken, the door of the restaurant was suddenly slammed open.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes, including Alice, shifted to the past, of course, it was not ruled out that she deliberately didn't want to take this stubble.
Lei Ye suddenly wanted to cry without tears, is there such a playful person?
He turned his head angrily and glared in the direction of the restaurant's door, only to see several horsemen in Imperial armor walking briskly in.
The leader has a three-branch moon symbol on his chest, which means that the other party is a mid-level officer.
He led the man to sit down at an empty table, and in a dull but anxious voice he ordered the boss: "Boss, hurry up and get some food, and take care of our horses." ”
The restaurateur naturally knew that the military was not easy to mess with, and immediately set about making arrangements.
The officer drank a lot of water, and then began to look around, and when he saw Alice, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "Alice?"
Renard was speechless, this Nima's high status is good, and he can meet acquaintances wherever he goes.
When Alice heard the other party calling herself, she couldn't help but look up, and after looking at it for a long time, she spit out two words with some uncertainty: "Donner?"
"Is it really you?" said the officer's face with joy, "Why are you here?"
Alice also had a smile on her face, and introduced to Renard next to her, "This is my cousin Donner. ”
Cousin?Renard's hostility towards the knight has increased a little again, and cousins and cousins are easy to misunderstand.
The two got to know each other for a long time, and finally Donner asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you a tutor in the academy?"
Alice smiled wryly, and then gave an overview of her experience.
Donner didn't speak for a long time after listening to this, and this strange behavior made everyone a little puzzled.
Alice asked curiously, "Why are you here, aren't you supposed to be in Hogg City, I happened to use the teleportation array there when I came, and I wanted to see you." ”
Donner pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, revealing an extremely bitter smile: "Hogg City doesn't exist anymore. ”
Alice didn't react: "What do you mean?"
Donner shrugged his shoulders, took the kettle and poured a few sips of water, and said: "Just six days ago, 100,000 wolf cavalry attacked Hogg City, we held on for two days and two nights, but we still couldn't hold it, and finally had to risk breaking through. ”
"What?" his words were like throwing a boulder into a deep ancient well, and immediately set off a storm in the restaurant.
Hogg City is the acropolis of Golden Willow City, the two cities are only twenty kilometers apart, 100,000 wolf cavalry sneak attack, and the defenders fought fiercely for two days and two nights until they were lost, why did Golden Silk Willow City not send troops to support?
Alice asked the question for everyone: "Did Golden Silk Willow City buy troops to support?"
Donner was silent again, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "No. ”
Although these two words are simple, the message contained in them is extremely terrifying.
