But it's not an expensive blue enchantress, it's an ordinary liquor.

That's right!

Although there is no liquor sold in the system mall, there is medical alcohol in the magic potion, which has completely reached the edible level, and can be exchanged for two dinars.

Renard saved a lot of employment expenses by mixing it with medical alcohol alone, and it was also exported to all parts of Southern Wilderness, and Duke Duncan often exchanged large quantities of edible salt for liquor.

In addition, the dwarf Pierce also became a frequent visitor to the territory, exchanging firearms, ammunition, and weapons and armor for large quantities of liquor almost every month.

It is no exaggeration to say that since the outbreak of the Demonic Calamity, Renard has become the largest supplier of alcohol at Cape Lookout.

Every time he thought of this, Lei Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After about twenty minutes, the recruits temporarily finished their training and began to rehydrate and rest.

Simon wiped his sweat with a towel, saw Renard's figure from a distance, and immediately trotted over.

He came to the city wall, looked in the direction of the school training ground, and said: "Your Excellency, the job of training recruits is really not suitable for me, I think it ......"

You don't have to guess to know that the other party will definitely complain about the bitterness again and apply to be transferred to the special service team.

In fact, there are quite a few people who think the same way.

For example, Christopher and Salisbury, who had just been promoted to the Fighting Warriors, would rather give up their identities as regiment commanders and battalion commanders than transfer to the special service team.

The reason is simple, the special service team has griffins.

The fighting warriors who were dissatisfied with being transferred to the special service team in the past are now all vigorous, not to mention that they are exchanged for the positions of regiment commander and battalion commander, that is, for a military commander, they also have to think about it.

Renard ignored Simon's stubble at all, and directly changed the topic, asking: "How is the training of recruits recently, and how many people are qualified to be incorporated into the regular army." ”

Simon tugged at the corners of his mouth, knowing that it might be useless for him to be transferred away, so he replied weakly: "The strength and perseverance of this group of young men are not bad, they have improved very quickly, and a small number of them have reached the level of beginner martial artists. ”

Renard nodded and praised: "It's all your credit, now there are more than twenty percent of the soldiers in the army that you have trained." ”

When Simon heard this, his expression was a little proud: "Of course, it's not me who blows, I train ......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he immediately stopped talking, and he still wanted to be transferred to the special service team, but he couldn't show any talent in military training.

He was even wondering if he should be more restrained and lower his training level to make himself less outstanding in this regard.

However, he just thought about it, if the soldiers were not trained well, they would die on the battlefield, and he could not ignore the lives and deaths of others for the sake of his own future.

Besides, these are all soldiers who have passed through him, and he looks at them more seriously than his own son, and if he really killed two of them because he kept his hand, he is afraid that he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Thinking about this, Simon sighed and said: "Although the progress is very fast, if you want them to go to the battlefield to fight the demons, they have to train for at least another half a year, and it doesn't matter if the strength is up to standard, what matters is the accumulation in actual combat." ”

Renard nodded again: "You will have to worry more about the training of recruits." ”

After speaking, he took out a scroll tied with a red ribbon from the spatial ring: "Tomorrow you go to the Sky Knights to find a griffin, and it will be your exclusive mount in the future." ”

Simon's expression was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until Lei Ye got down the city wall that he reacted, patted his chest and promised loudly, "The matter of training recruits is on me, so don't worry, my lord." ”

Renard waved his hand, then mounted his war horse and ran towards the Lord's Mansion.

Heidi had just finished breastfeeding her two children, and when she saw Lei Ye coming to her office, she asked, "Have you gone to supervise the training of recruits?"

Renard nodded: "That's right. ”

Heidi teased the two children and asked again, "How is the training doing, and how many can join the regular army?"

Lei Ye thought for a while and repeated what Simon said: "There are some things that can't be rushed, we have enough manpower now, so let these recruits hone and hone again." ”

Now the Fourth Knights and the Sixth Infantry Regiment are about to be fully strengthened, the Firearms Army has expanded to 4,000 people, and the total number of the four special service teams exceeds 500, which means that the Earldom has more than 12,000 ordinary troops and more than 500 fighting warriors.

With a total strength of more than 12,000 troops, there is really no need to rush to recruit troops.

Heidi nodded undeniably, and then seemed to remember something, and said: "Just now, Earl Shelley summoned me and wanted to borrow some weapons and food from us, I haven't replied yet, what do you think about it?" ”

Renard frowned, and then said impatiently: "Are they using us as a warehouse?"

Heidi shrugged: "We have plenty of food, grass and armament, this is a well-known thing. ”

Lei Ye poured himself a glass of water, and then asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Heidi thought for a moment and gave her own answer: "Lend it to them, but you have to pay an IOU, and the amount will be converted according to the current price of grain. ”

Renard gave a thumbs up: "Clever." ”

Then the two discussed how much food and ordnance to borrow, since they were allies, they couldn't be too picky.

Heidi took out the envelope: "Earl Shelley wants to borrow 8,000 tons of corn and 6,000 tons of flour, 500 sets of cavalry equipment, 2,000 sets of infantry equipment, and if you can, some firearms and griffins." ”

Lei Ye sneered when he heard this: "I can borrow it, but does he have the money to pay it back?"

Although the population of Earl Shelley's territory has reached 1230,000, almost only the output has not been paid, and it is completely eating the old capital.

Not to mention whether he can survive the demon disaster safely, even if it passes, I don't know if it is the Year of the Monkey.

The battle still needs to be restored, and I am afraid that it will take another twenty years, that is, there is no need to expect the other side to pay back the money in twenty or thirty years.

Besides, the Earl of Shelley is in his seventies this year, and he may finish kicking his legs one day, what if his heir denies the account?

Can Lei Ye mobilize his army to travel hundreds of miles to beat them because of this little thing? It is estimated that the military budget is not enough!

He dared to borrow Duke Edmund because the other party's family had a big business, and it was his own family.

Not to mention anything else, the coastal salt drying industry can bring thousands of gold coins to the other party every year, and I am afraid that I can't afford to pay back this money?

After thinking for a long time, Renard said: "You can lend him all the food, the equipment should be discounted in half, and the firearms and griffins should be forgotten." ”

Lei Ye felt that he was generous enough, if the other party was not satisfied, it would be a big deal to scatter in two, and he would not point at them.

Heidi nodded in agreement and continued, "How is the clearance operation going with Duke Edmund?"

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Renard's face: "Very good, with our great assistance, there are basically no formed demon legions within a radius of 100 kilometers, and Taylor and Sir Howard have also returned to Fort St. Brieuh." ”
