Chapter Ninety-Eight: Cooperation

Lelouch had only one request:

"I hope you can delay Mordor's attack on the White City as long as possible, and show up on the battlefield as a Terran reinforcement when Mordor attacks Fort Horn. ”

Lelouxiu's request made it difficult for Qiyan, and Lelouxiu's meaning was very clear, that is, when Mordor attacked Fort Clarion next time, he needed Qiyan's 10,000 centaur knights to exist as foreign aid and directly participate in the battlefield, which seemed to be an extremely reasonable request and condition, but both Qiyan and Lelouxiu understood that if Qiyan really did this, then what was waiting for him would be to have to be tied to the same boat with the Terrans.

It is impossible for Mordor to have good intentions and any negotiation with him after he has done these things.

Qiyan was silent for a while, Lu Lu Xiu did not rush to urge, but began to deal with the food in front of him with relish, maybe it was because the consumption has been relatively large recently, Lu Lu Xiu felt that he liked to eat meat very much.

For a moment, the whole hall fell silent except for the slight sound of Lelouch chewing, and it seemed that a long time had passed, and Qi Yan finally spoke:

"I promise you!"

"Haha, well, worthy of the Centaur royal family, I am glad to have the help of the Centaur family, come, and toast to our great friendship. ”

Lelouch stood up happily and raised his wine glass, and the determined beggar seemed to put down the package in his heart, and got up with a relaxed expression and a little excitement.

For begging Yan, Lelouch is extremely important, although the dwarves will attract a lot of attention from Mordor, but the dwarves are too close to Mordor, even if the dwarves and Mordor really break out a war, Mordor will calm the dwarves' resistance in a very short time, what Lelouch needs is not a few huge and short frontal wars, but flexible guerrilla warfare.

As long as the centaurs are really good at guerrilla warfare as recorded, then Mordor will greatly delay the attack time due to the existence of the centaurs, and this will win Lelouch extremely valuable development time, plus the distraction of Mordor caused by the dwarves and other forces, Lelouch's buffer time will be extremely abundant.

Lelouch is not worried about Qiyan's betrayal and gaffe at all, Lelouch will not give all the materials to Qiyan stupidly, but will let Qiyan exchange for his military exploits, except for the food supply will be maintained at the lowest level, all the rest of the materials must be exchanged for the heads of Mordor soldiers.

This ensures that the hatred between the centaurs and Mordor does not develop too quickly and give rise to some thoughts that should not arise.

Of course, Qi Yan also understands Lu Lu Xiu's thoughts, but Qi Yan has no way to refuse at all now, and now there is no one else who can give him any help except for Lu Lu Xiu's actual assistance, and he has no other way than to hug Lu Lu Xiu's thigh.

It's not that Qiyan hasn't thought about taking refuge in Mordor, but as for the result~ If he succeeded, Qiyan wouldn't have stayed in Baicheng for so long.

After making up his mind, Qi Yan finally put his mind at ease and began to discuss the detailed plan with Lu Luxiu, although it seemed that cooperating with Lu Lu Xiu was not a very easy plan, but Qi Yan was extremely excited, because this was the first time in nearly five hundred years that their centaur clan had made a substantial move on their restoration activities.

Qiyan and Lelouch discussed in the hall for a long time, and it was not very clear to outsiders what they discussed, but when Qiyan left Fort Clarifolia, he did not return to White City but directly infiltrated the Great Plains outside Fort Clarifolia, and a month later, a team of less than a thousand centaur knights arrived at Fort Clarifolia, and when they came, they could be said to be poor and white except for the heads of a large number of orc soldiers and strong orc soldiers.

But when they left, they became an elite army with two hundred heavy knights and eight hundred nomadic knights, and the sophisticated equipment and massive materials made them an elite army in an instant.

Finally, all the preparations for the battle of the White City have been completed, and now he can finally settle down and develop his territory with peace of mind, ready to meet the army of Mordor in a few years, Lelouch estimates that it will take at least two to three years for Mordor to solve the restlessness of the dwarves and the direct rebellion of the centaurs, although the time is short, but Lelouch believes that he can seize this opportunity to develop himself.

The population of Limburg has begun to move on a large scale, the vast land of the garrison is in urgent need of a large number of people, and the Banker industrial area is a place where people eat people and do not spit out bones, just the industrial area that has just begun to build has swallowed up I don't know how many manpower, and the renovation of Fort Horn also needs a lot of manpower, and the expansion of the army also needs people, although El claims that there are no less than 100,000 people in total are moving to the garrison, and there will be a larger scale of people moving in the future, but the current Lelouch has been forced to red-eyed by people。

In order to encourage the people to work more, even Lu Lu Xiu personally went to the field to work, although it was a hoe in the east and a rake in the west, building the city wall today, building houses tomorrow, and plowing the fields the day after tomorrow, but driven by Lu Luxiu's frequent appearances, the few manpower in the garrison area appeared in a construction frenzy, and everyone almost developed their potential to the maximum.

Under this construction frenzy, Lelouch changed places to continue to show his existence.

The midday sun is extremely scorching, and the breeze under the cloudless sky brings layers of heat, and the crowd can finally rest after a busy morning.

Lelouch sat under a big tree, looking at the green seedlings in the field in the distance, the seedlings were neatly arranged on the ground, which looked extremely pleasing and beautiful, the simple canal brought the river water, the water flowing into the earth brought the unique fragrance of the earth, and a few early summer knew that they hid in the shade of the tree and shouted hard.

Although the climate is hot, but groups of people are extremely excited to look at the one in front of them, Lelouch is sitting in a group of peasants at this time, wearing coarse linen work clothes, in addition to looking young, it seems to be an ordinary peasant, and as for his guard knights, they also took off their armor and were busy working in the fields, weapons and equipment and horses' farts were unified under a tree, and there was a special person to take care of them, because children were forced to send to school for education, so there was no need to worry about the existence of naughty children.

The peasants sat around Lelouch with great respect, and they had a deep respect for the lord who gave them everything, and this respect rose to the point of no increase with Lelouch working in the fields this time.

"Come, come, eat, eat!"

The crowd happily opened their lunch boxes, which were extremely durable and insulated, although the effect was not very good, but it was also extremely shocking.

At this time, everyone sat around in the shade of the trees, they opened the lunch box prepared by themselves, the rice was still steaming, deeply influenced by Lu Luxiu, the eating habits of the people in the garrison area have become closer and closer to Chinese food, and the way of eating rice with other dishes is deeply loved by the people.

Lelouch opened his lunch box, the big white rice was steaming, on top was a boiled egg cut in half, the main dish was a sliced smoked sausage, a side dish of tomato eggs, and some pickled cabbage, which made people look extremely appetizing, Lelouch's food is the most common food for the public in Limburg at the moment, fresh meat is still a relatively luxurious existence after all, except for the Chinese New Year, others are not willing to slaughter poultry specifically for fresh meat.

"My lord, I see that you are tired, come and try my braised chicken legs. ”

As soon as Lelouch sat down, a rough peasant lady handed over a chicken leg, although it didn't smell good, but the enthusiasm in his eyes made Lelouch can't bear to refuse.

"Thank you, auntie, and I'll give you a few pieces of sausage, I smoked it myself!"

Lelouch responded with the same enthusiasm, and the lady seemed to be particularly happy to accept Lelouch's gift, and carefully buried the sausage under her rice, as if she was not going to eat it.

Lelouch smiled slightly and didn't say much, but began to concentrate on dealing with the food in front of him, feeling the satisfaction brought by the home-grown food crossing the esophagus and entering the stomach, looking at the endless reclaimed world in front of him, a sense of accomplishment of construction filled Lelouxiu's heart.

The people around them exchanged their food with each other, and everyone ate the food, and their faces were filled with a different kind of satisfaction and happiness, and who could believe that the desire of these peasants was very simple, that they could only make a life rich after giving their own anger, and if this demand could not be satisfied, then they would give all their loyalty to anyone who could fulfill their wishes.

The poor aristocrats still think that they are just because they can propagandize and demagogue, but they don't know that the reason why they really receive the love of the people is that they can give them hope, it's as simple as that.

It's still early summer, the weather is not particularly hot, the people who have eaten lunch just take a little sip of water to rest, and then devote themselves to the hot work, they only need to use crops to mortgage the houses and production tools given by the government, and the rest of the government will not levy a penny, but will choose to buy food in the way of purchase, that is to say, everything they bring from their hard work, to the final benefit, is their own.

It's no wonder that the crowd is enthusiastic about their work.

Lelouch also stood up at this time, patted the dust on his body, and prepared to continue working in the field, but two unusually tall shadows suddenly appeared in front of Lelouxiu.

"Hello, I'm looking for our patriarch!"
