Immediately afterwards, Renard began to give detailed orders, he looked at Hamilton and ordered: "Father, you and Mr. Bennett are responsible for making contact with the natives and explaining our purpose. ”

"No matter what method you use, whether it is coercion or inducement, let them fully cooperate with the action, and when the time is right, you can agree to some conditions, and the specific scale is up to you. ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were solemn, and they bowed down to receive the order.

Han Midon looked at his son's high-spirited appearance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: Sure enough, the blue is better than the blue, and the son is more courageous than Lao Tzu.

Immediately afterwards, Renard looked at Duke Edmund and Count Sidney: "Two governors, after you return to your own jurisdiction, try to gather as many men as possible, and I hope that within twenty days, you can each gather four strong armies to come out." ”

According to the military system of Gannan Province, the four strong armies are about 30,000 people.

It was not too difficult for Duke Edmund to assemble an army of this number, he already had 30,000 soldiers under his command, and although he had been severely attrition in previous battles, the Barren Land now had a population of more than a million, and it was not too difficult to replenish it with this backing.

However, the gathering of an army of 30,000 men was a difficult task for the Earl of Sidney, and not long after the end of the war in Kale County, the army suffered serious losses and lost a lot of young men after several major battles.

To add insult to injury, a while ago, the king transferred the southern army out of Kale County in the name of conquering the Cronin family, and everyone knew that it would definitely not be able to be transferred back.

As for the original local garrison, they had already been selected and trained by Lei Ye and then added to his own army.

Some time ago, Count Sidney finally drummed up two recruit divisions to serve as a façade, originally intended to be reserved for the purpose of maintaining law and order and stability.

Whoever thought about it, was transferred to the front line by Lei Ye in a few words, and was immediately divided up by several seriously attritional armies.

From these things, it can be seen that Lei Ye treats his subordinates differently.

Renard has always treated the barren lands under the control of Duke Edmund with preferential treatment, and has never been polite to Sidney's Kale County.

This is a reasonable thing, he is not a saint, he cannot be completely fair and just, and can only try to ensure that he does not make mistakes in principle.

Count Sidney is an old fox who has lived for more than a hundred years, and naturally knows the truth, he does not dare to distinguish, and he is equally lazy to distinguish, just thinking about how to complete the task.

Seeing that the other party lowered his head and pondered, Renard couldn't help but remind: "I really can't muster up manpower, you can be recruited in the noble private army." ”

Hearing this, Count Sidney smiled bitterly, he knew that Lei Ye was giving him a problem.

Unlike Nanhuang County, the centralized system has not yet been implemented, and there are many lords who occupy vast lands, large populations, and strong military forces to divide one side.

Renard asked him to recruit the noble private army, and the subtext was not to let him solve these difficult guys.

Before he had absolute power, Count Sidney didn't want to provoke these guys at all.

However, he can't help but carry out Lei Ye's orders, if he wants the Creighton family to continue to survive, or even carry forward, he must complete this task perfectly.

Count Sidney took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Lord Governor, for reminding me, I know what to do." ”

Renard nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then reminded: "If you really can't do it, you can still recruit from the mercenaries." ”

Count Sidney nodded, indicating that he understood.

Next, we have to deal with the problems of logistics and supply, material deployment, etc.

Everyone spoke freely, assigned things very appropriately, and handled them perfectly.

By the time these things were dealt with, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and before I knew it, the meeting had been going on for a full six hours.

Renard stretched his back and invited the group to dinner at the castle, but was ruthlessly refused.

In twenty days, there will be a decisive battle with the demons, who is still in the mood to eat, there are many things to be dealt with.

The crowd dispersed, and in the end, only Heidi, Julia, Ariel, and Regana remained.

They don't have any military missions, so they're naturally idle.

Heidi led them back to the castle, where Betty and the others had finished dinner and were playing with the children in the garden.

When Serena and Gina heard that a guest was coming, they were very kind enough to let the servants prepare sumptuous food and accompany everyone to eat a few bites of dessert after the meal.

Renard was struggling with the steak in front of him, when he suddenly heard Betty's angry voice: "Say! What does it matter? I don't know this? Are you a pig's brain?"

He looked up suspiciously, towards the other party's side

Look out.

I saw Betty slapping the table angrily and asking Alex unceremoniously, which scared the little guy into trembling.

Renard frowned slightly, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at Serena, and found that the other party's expression did not show any strange expression, obviously not blaming Betty for scolding Alex.

This really makes people feel strange, his son was counted down by other women, and he said that the relationship was close enough, wouldn't he feel distressed?

What did Alex do? What did Betty so angry about?

Reynard was puzzled when he heard Betty cry out in despair, "It's the opposite of each other!"

Hearing this, Lei Ye almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, it turned out that he was teaching math problems!

He wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, then asked Serena, "How are Alex and Audrey doing in their studies?"

Serena handed the snack in her hand to Andrew, who was full of anticipation, and said helplessly: "All of them are the first in the grade." ”

Reynard suddenly felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Follow me!

Heidi gave him a blank look and asked, "How do you explain that one is the first in the positive number and the first in the bottom of the grade?"

Lei Ye almost squirted out the red wine in his mouth: "Isn't it?

Gina smiled and said, "It's okay, although Alex's grades in literature are not very good, he is still among the best in martial arts and military science." ”

When Renard heard this, he felt more comfortable, and then said with relief: "If you can't do it in literature, you can't do it, just know basic arithmetic and literacy, after all, this world mainly relies on fists to speak." ”

Lei Ye didn't think about cultivating all his children into dragons and phoenixes, and it was unlikely, the nine sons of the dragon were different.

As long as they have a correct world outlook, outlook on life, and values, they are not wastes that are full of brains and bully men and women.

However, his words immediately caused public outrage, including Alice and Julia, and others, all of whom criticized him for covering their faces: "How can you make do with educating children, how can you have the ...... of your father to do this"

Renard directly kept his mouth shut, buried his head in eating, and kept feeling in his heart: How does Lao Tzu educate children, what does it matter to you?

Dinner ended in a noisy uproar.
