When Libert walked into the city lord's office that had just been sorted out, a smell of dust came from the surface, and the two maids who served Lelouch were still busy cleaning around the desk, and the desk that had just been sorted out was a stack of document scrolls, blocking the people behind the desk, and an old man stood next to the desk, and quickly found the corresponding documents in a large number of documents with the call of the person behind the desk, quickly and skillfully.

This scene made Liebert's eyes light up instantly, but it was quickly concealed.

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

"Oh, it's Liebert here, you wait a minute, I'll be right away. ”

Yes, the person behind the desk was none other than Lu Luxiu, who had just taken office, and after reading another scroll in his hand, Lu Lu Xiu wrote a note with a quill pen and handed it to the old man next to him.

"Kennon, you sort out these documents first, and at the same time, you find out all the scrolls in the documents about the geography around Limburg and the neighboring power races, and I'll come back and read them when I get back. ”

The old man nodded

"Yes, Lord Castle. ”

Kenon is the person who sent the document when Lelouch asked for the document, I don't know what the orcs think, and actually left a clerk in the document room, although he did not give this clerk any money and food, but the clerk still survived with the help of his family outside the castle, and took care of these valuable documents for Limburg, which made Lelouch very happy, and at the same time let Kenon serve by his side for the first time, there is such a local old man with knowledge, for Lelouch's initial work, it is a great help.

Lelouch stood up from behind his desk and stretched hard:

"Libert, in addition to the necessary defensive manpower, gather all the soldiers in Limburg, and I will go and see them. ”

Libert did not hesitate: "Yes, Lord City Lord, I will gather them." ”

Lelouch nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you let the others take it, you accompany me for a walk";

The barracks was located in the northeast corner of the castle, where there was a small school field, where all the soldiers of Limburg lived, and it used to be exclusively for the personal guards of the city lord, but it was provided to the most ordinary soldiers of Limburg when they went first.

"Liebert, tell me about the military situation in Limburg. ”

Walking on the way to the school grounds, there was no one in the corridor outside the castle, which seemed empty and quiet.

"Yes, my lord, Limburg now has a total of 100 soldiers, the weapons are mainly spears, their main role is to maintain law and order in the city and guard the city gates, their original barracks are in a larger school field in the north of the city, where the capacity is about fifteen hundred, but because there are too few people now, so they moved to the castle, the capacity of the castle is two hundred. ”

Hearing Libert's introduction, Lelouch nodded noncommittally, in the document just now, Lelouch's priority is to check the military strength of Limburg, in its heyday, Limburg maintained a standing army of 1,700 people, and in wartime, it can mobilize as many as 5,000 armed citizens in the city.

Although these armed citizens are not suitable for going out to fight, but they are a great help for defense, that is to say, Limburg should theoretically have a combat force of 6,000 to 7,000, but now there are only a hundred soldiers in the entire Limburg, and compared with the standing army of Limburg recorded in the documents, the equipment is no less than three levels worse, although the training has not yet been seen, but Lelouch does not have too much expectations.

Compared with the decline of the military, the municipal government of Limburg is in decline to make Lelouch desperate, from the statistics of the clerk, it can be seen that the border city that once had a population of 200,000 people, the remaining population is less than a thousand, and it is still scattered in all corners of the city, because of the long-term oppression of the orcs, there are almost no residents above the extreme poverty line in Limburg, that is to say, Limburg cannot collect any taxes at present.

What made Lu Lu Xiu's teeth itch even more was that the shaman also took the last copper plate in the vault when he left Limburg, and now not only the residents of Limburg are below the extreme poverty line, but even Lelouxiu, who is the city lord, is theoretically below the extreme poverty line, which makes Lu Lu Xiu a big headache.

In any case, the first problem in front of Lelouch now is how to get his subjects out of the line of extreme poverty, at least not worry about food, and the only way in Lelouch's mind to solve the food crisis in a short period of time, no matter which one it is, is inseparable from the support of the army, so for the only military force in his hands at present, Lelouch is particularly concerned.

When Lelouch looked at the "palace guards" in front of him, there were ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping in his heart, and the number of a hundred was already very small, but Lelouch still had an urge to disband them immediately.

At this moment, the "palace guards" standing in front of Lelouch have a total of one hundred people, and their state is just like what Libert told Lelouxiu, their main equipment is spears, but there is only one spear, and a hundred spearmen in various clothes stand in front of Lelouxiu, which is also mixed with a large number of old men and half-sized children, although they are all relatively tall, but the thin body makes Lelouch not expect their combat effectiveness.

In Lelous's opinion, the only people in the entire Limburg who could be called capable of fighting were five knights such as Libert, and the others could only be regarded as armed peasants, not even armed militiamen, which was completely unacceptable for Lelouch's plan.

Lelouch did not leave the barracks immediately, but spent half a morning to inspect the school field in the castle, I have to say that from the perspective of the pattern, there must have been an absolute elite force here, the barracks with their own blacksmith shop and armor workshop, and at the same time Lelouch also found a large horse shed, it can be seen that the troops here used to be cavalry, and there are direct blacksmiths and armor divisions for maintenance, plus full-time defense of the castle, their training must also be quite outstanding, in this case, it is difficult for them not to be elite, and according to the documents, the cavalry of two hundred people, it seems that they are still using the elite weapons provided by the elves。

And although there are no craftsmen in these blacksmith shops, it should not be difficult to get them back into use if they are repaired, which makes Lelouxiu, who is worried about the lack of equipment, slightly relieved, we can do it without equipment, although I dare not say that we can make heavy equipment such as iron armor or chain mail, but it should be no problem to make some paneled leather armor, and the materials of the paneled leather armor are not at all worried in Lelouxiu's future plans.

Thinking of this, Lelouch was somewhat relieved, and before he knew it, it was already lunchtime, and Libert stepped forward to remind Lelouch:

"My lord, it's time for lunch, so let's head back to the castle, as your court cook has prepared a very tasty meal. ”；

Lelouch did not get a response to Lelouch's words, and since the orcs had taught Lelouch a lesson last night, Lelouch had been very resistant to eating in the lobby of the castle, and after thinking about it, Lelouch returned:

"Forget it, we don't go back to the castle to eat, let's eat in the barracks, I also want to see what the soldiers eat. ”

Lelouch's words were supported by Libert.

When Lu Lu Xiu sat down in the cafeteria, the soldiers were obviously stunned, although Lu Lu Xiu was young, but after all, he was the lord of the city, in this world, the superiority and inferiority of the human race were still very clear, although it was not obvious, but Lu Lu Xiu's style more or less reduced the alienation of some soldiers.

It's a sense of alienation rather than intimacy, soldiers are also people, not stupid, you delusionally think that you can win the respect of soldiers by sitting together and having a meal, it is completely impossible, and it is already very good that Lelouch can reduce the alienation of some soldiers at the moment.

When lunch was served, Lelouch frowned thoroughly, the food was quite simple, a pot of vegetable soup, a stack of greens, and half a small piece of black bread.

To tell the truth, not to mention this kind of food as a normal adult, even a child is not enough to eat, the physique of the human race in this other world is much higher than that of modern humans, their various bodies are generally three times higher than that of modern humans, and the same demand for nutrition is more than three times, such food can not even be satisfied by modern humans, let alone humans in another world.

Lelouch looked at the food in front of him and was silent for a moment, then ate it without a trace of hesitation, drank a sip of hot soup, and ate black bread with green vegetables, the amount was not large, and the taste was very average, but Lelouch ate very carefully, seeing that Lelouch did not show any disgusted expression, Libert's eyes lit up again, and at the same time, Lelouch's gaze became more and more soft, expecting, although the soldiers did not respect Lelouch because of this, but they had already recognized their new lord, and the change in mentality was quite important.

The canteen ate silently, and after the meal, Lelouch did not leave immediately, but announced an important message in the barracks, that is, disarmament, not that Lelouch was mentally retarded, but because of the uneven quality of this hundred people, so that he raised some more people to make the number of troops look "a lot", but it had no impact on combat effectiveness, it was better to streamline the troops, improve the flexibility and combat effectiveness of the troops, the decisive factor of war is the population of a country, but the decisive factor of a battle is the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

According to Lelouch's plan, the army only left the prime-aged between 18 and 45 years old, and the others were all disbanded, and Lelouch would arrange for them to settle in the vacant houses in the city.

After an afternoon of rectification, the number of troops was reduced from 100 to 50, and the number was reduced by half, but the team finally seemed to have a certain combat effectiveness.
