The Northern Coalition Army is finally gone, as the last lord disappeared at the end of the road with his own people, this time the goblin turmoil is finally over, there is no unstable factor around Limburg, Limburg ushered in a period of stable development, and more importantly, Lelouch's territory has changed from a lonely border city to a territory with the finished glyph of three cities, the territory between the cities is a plain, with the protection of the three peripheral cities, the plain in the middle can allow Lelouch to develop him to the greatest extent.

The two new cities that Lelouch got were named Wind Helmet City and Winter Castle, both of which were cities with the flavor of war, but these two cities did not have any special features, they were just two extremely ordinary cities in the north, but because these two cities were on the border, so their spacing was very large, and this also created a large plain between the three cities, although Lelouch only had three cities, but the land area occupied nearly one-twentieth of the northern territory.

This is mainly because most of the lords live near the center of the heaven-sent land around the human imperial capital "White Tower", the more prosperous the center, and the more lords, although there are more than a hundred lords in the north, but in the border area, there are less than thirty, which causes the border cities to be vast and sparsely populated!

It's not that the land on the border is not as good as the center, it's just that it's far away from the imperial capital, and it's relatively close to Fort Horn, and it's been oppressed and exploited by the Orcs of Mordor all year round, and over time, it's become a loss of people in the border area, not only the loss of the people, but also the nobility.

That's why Richard was so generous to give Leluch two cities, equivalent to one-twentieth of the land in the entire north, anyway, there is no one, but this is a rare treasure for Lelouch, after all, from Richard's words before leaving, the Terrans are about to fight with Mordor again, so such a border area will be quiet for a while, this kind of silence is called the quiet before dawn, although it is silent, it means that something deadly is coming.

The next thing Lelouch has to do is to use the precious three years to develop himself, although the time is only three years, but for Lelouch, it is enough to build a powerful legion, and when the time comes, who can say that Lelouch can't create miracles?

As for why he fights, Lelouch doesn't know, but he can guess one or two, the human race, as the second largest race outside the orcs in Middle-earth, even if it has been oppressed by the orcs for a hundred years, it has once again accumulated a trace of strength, although this trace of power is extremely fragile for Mordor, but Mordor is obviously not willing to let this trace of strength continue to grow, the tiger opened its teeth, even if it is immature, it must be pulled out.

However, compared to the big war three years later, Lelouch is more concerned about the two new cities under his command now

Windhelm is two ordinary cities close to and inland with Dongsold, they are completely incomparable to Limburg, even in peacetime, the role of these two cities is more to provide Limburg with cheap manpower, agricultural products, and negligible consumption power, it can be said that their biggest characteristic is that they have no characteristics.

Although these two cities do not have anything outstanding, but Lelouch still happily accepted them, in addition to the geographical environment that can be connected, there is also the internal population, these two cities because they are really no characteristics, and there is no brilliance, even the orcs, do not want to come to office, so, although they are also accompanied by the decline of the overall human economy and decline, but because they are not exploited by the orcs, their original economic conditions have been preserved, and more importantly, because the two cities are peaceful, absorb a large number of people in the more prosperous areas nearby。

Yes, what Lelouch cares about is the population, according to the records of the scroll, the population of these two cities is surprisingly large, the two add up to 60,000, that is to say, the average city has a population of 30,000, you know, this is in the border small cities, but the population is extremely high, and this is not counting the population of small villages scattered around, Lelouch estimates that the total number of these populations can reach 80,000, if you add the population estimated at the beginning of Limburg, the total population of the two can exceed 150,000, this is not counting the migration population of other northern territories, Lelouch suddenly found that he seemed to be able to do it in a short period of time, raising his own population to more than 150,000, according to the ratio of ten civilians to one soldier in ancient times, Lelouch was able to have a full-time army of fifteen thousand men in a few months.

This situation made Lelouch happy, of course Lelouch would not use all the people to feed the army, and the ten peasants did nothing to support the soldiers, so who would feed the ten peasants? Lu this is just maintenance, Lu Lu Xiu can't do this, he also has to develop industry, build infrastructure, education, agriculture, health, etc., etc., these all need people, it seems that 150,000 people are a lot, but if you really want to use it, unless it is configured according to the limit, it is impossible to maintain a force of 15,000 people, according to Lu Luxiu's plan, it is already thankful that it can maintain 5,000 people, and more importantly, Lu Lu Xiu is not ready to arm a soldier with the maintenance power of ten farmers on the earth, but twenty to thirty, and they are no longer farmers, but workers with a certain industrial base, the soldiers supported by such productive forces are the soldiers in Lu Luxiu's mind.

…

The sky is blue, the grass is long, the breeze caresses the ground, and the sky is clear

Lelouch is wearing a well-trimmed silver white plate armor at the moment, the whole suit is armed with the silver helmet on the top of his head, the whole person looks extremely heroic, plus the big red cloak behind him, a noble atmosphere, paved up, at this time behind Lelouxiu, are two hundred knights wearing paneled leather armor, the war horse is wrapped in coarse linen horse clothes, the uniform red hue on it, so that they look extraordinarily neat, I have to say that the people of Middle-earth are all born warriors, although many people have only ridden a ploughing ox or a donkey at home, but after spending three days, they can already sit on horses and walk and jog。

This time he went to Wind Helmet City, Lelouch was preparing to take over his own city, although it had just been assigned to his own control for three days, but Lelouch had already planned all their next arrangements.

The situation in Stormhelm and Wintercastle is not as good as imagined, although they have not been exploited by the orcs, but this does not mean that they can live peacefully, they still need to call for heavy taxes to Mordor on a regular basis, not to mention, they also need to add another share to their human lords, and sometimes, their human lords will even go too far than Mordor.

And the excessive population is beyond the capacity of Wind Helmet City and Winter Castle, that little land is simply not enough to feed such a large population, and the living standard of the local people is only a little better than that of Limburg half a year ago, the difference between the top and bottom of the ~ extreme poverty line.

So Lelouch did not go to Windhelmet City and Winter Castle for the first time, but spent three days to prepare, Lelouch took almost all the rich grain of Limburg, although there are rabbits and mushrooms such high-yield crops, and with half a year of stable production, the stock of potatoes and cabbage is also slightly surplus, but for the sudden increase in population, especially when they are unable to feed themselves in the short term, Limburg needs to make a huge amount of food reserves, before leaving, Lelouch has ordered the release of the hunting restrictions in the northwind forest, and is allowed to go deeper to hunt。

I hope that the food of the North Wind Dense Forest can allow Lelouch to persist through the three-month transition period, and as long as there are three months, then Lelouxiu's rectification can be implemented.

In Lelouch's planning, the population of Wind Helmet City and Winter Castle definitely needs to be relocated, and the main relocation location is Limburg, after all, Limburg is an existence far higher than other ordinary cities of the human race, and now there are many places that need people, whether it is the development of self-employed rabbits and mushrooms, or the expansion of the reclamation area of land and farmland, or the expansion of road construction, as well as: repairing the walls of Limburg, rectifying the dwellings in the city, dredging the moat outside the city, and, most importantly, the population of industrial development, which devoured Lelouch's small manpower like a bottomless pit, and now with 70,000 men in Windhelmet and Wintercastle, Lelouch planned to move 40,000 people to Limburg at once.

The remaining 30,000 people also had to move 20,000 to the central plains to establish new villages in order to reclaim the nearby land, but 20,000 people were too much for the vast plains, and Lelouch could only hope that the group of northern soldiers would bring him good news in addition to the manpower windfall he had now.

Soon, the Limburg troops, carrying a large amount of supplies, came to the front of Windhelm City.

At this time, in front of the Wind Helmet City, a large number of people gathered, although many people had jealousy and distrust on their faces, but they were able to stand at the door to see Lelouxiu, it was already the greatest progress, for Leluxiu, these people will be his future people, his own people have the courage to come to see themselves, they have given themselves the greatest trust, of course, the countless food behind them is also an incentive to occupy the vast majority!

After all, with the propaganda of the soldiers leaving the north, and the preaching of the heralds sent by Lelouch, everyone knew that Lelouch was a benevolent lord, and when he came, everyone would have a good life, and everyone would have their own land that they could not pay taxes for a year, or jobs that would pay for food and clothing, and more importantly, a pound of cured meat per person per household that would be cashed in immediately, and nothing could be more convincing than cured meat.

Lelouch saw that standing at the front were dozens of northern soldiers who had fought a few days earlier.
