"Impossible. Anne put down the quill and waved her hand repeatedly, "His Majesty Beruni is very suspicious, and in order to prevent rebellion, at the beginning of his reign, he took the jurisdiction of the military mages of the whole country to the royal capital, and only in wartime it was released to the army. ”

"It's peacetime now?" Gunther felt that he had done three things since he came to Alpine Fort, and that was war, war, and war, and he thought that it should be similar elsewhere.

Hurt patted Gunther on the shoulder, grinning at the slightest sign of what to say.

"Do you still know this?" the lord looked at the half-elf in surprise, he had the impression that Anne was completely a money junkie, and everything other than making money was basically black.

Anne was no less surprised than him, "Back then, the voices of the supporters and opponents were so loud that everyone in the country knew about it, why didn't you even know about it?"

"Back then, how many years ago did this refer to that year?" Richard racked his brains and couldn't remember when this "well-known" thing happened, as if he was not human.

"I can't remember, it's been more than 20 years. ”

"......," the lord asked quietly, "guess how old I was?" ”

“......”

This misunderstanding is interesting enough, as the growth cycle of half-elves and humans is completely different, resulting in a slightly different intuitive perception of time.

"I don't think I have to worry about it at all. Buckland pulled back the topic of deviation, "Since he will be reduced to the garrison legion, he will not talk about his own ability, but the resources he can mobilize are definitely limited." It is unlikely that a military mage, a spell advisor, or that he is a mage himself. ”

This speculation has no basis in reality, but it is undoubtedly very plausible. Qualified spellcasters are a scarce resource in any country, and it is said that there are less than 10,000 low-level and above mages registered in the entire human world.

"So nine times out of ten, the opponent's spell casting power is not as good as our Alpine Fort, and what should be worried is that they are. ”

"You're right, Abu. Buckland saw that the lizardman was dumbfounded and half-mouthed, and did not say a word from beginning to end, and turned his head to look at whoever spoke, and inexplicably felt a little funny.

"Hey, hey. Abu touched the back of his head and looked down and giggled.

As a little turtle who had never been out of the wilderness much, he really felt that these things were fresh and interesting, compared to the previous in the tribe, it was too dull.

"There are only 3,000 people, and there are no military mages, in this case......" Lord Lord slammed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, setting the tone, "I have decided, if they dare to come, don't think about going back." ”

Pompeii does not have such an establishment as a garrison corps, and it roughly corresponds to the security detachment, what level is Richard Menqing - when he was stealing on the streets, he had a lot of dealings with this gang.

Generally speaking, bullying the soft and fearing the hard is one top ten, and really letting them fight a tough battle is to forcibly create widows.

"Only?" Buckland felt that the word was used arrogantly, as the head of internal affairs, even the lord could not know the situation of Alpine Fort better than he did.

He quickly calculated in his heart, the guard has 300 soldiers under its jurisdiction, and there is no doubt about its combat effectiveness, except for the small number of people, there are no other shortcomings. But even if all the people who can participate in the war are mobilized, this number will definitely not exceed six hundred.

Only one-fifth of the opponent's strength will be strengthened! He was embarrassed to say that "there are only 3,000 people," and he still had a posture of eating steadily. Buckland wiped the fine sweat from his forehead firmly, and pulled out the golden oak leaf from his collar and pressed it to the center of his eyebrows.

"Yes!" the leaders of the guards slammed to their feet, and the leather boots on both sides touched each other, and there was a crisp sound of brushing.

Buckland, who was thinking about things, was taken aback, he really didn't expect that this group of goods who usually knew that they were eating Hesai nonsense when they looked at it could have such a concise and concise performance.

Abu also kept up with a few older buddies.

He stood on a chair with his long tail in tow, barely as tall as the others, but he was just as imposing. Despite their small size, the Sgar Lizardmen are not inferior in their prowess nature.

"Annie, the loot will be all up to you. Richard was still a little excited when he thought about it, he used to fight with poor ghosts in the wilderness, but this time it was the first time he had fought with humans, maybe he would really have a war fortune.

"No problem. The half-elf merchant smiled, and a succession of big business came to her to make her whole body radiant.

"Aren't we going to ask for help?" Buckland's small eyes blinked behind his glasses.

"Please, please, fart!" the lord slapped on the table, "the meeting is dismissed." ”

The leaders of the guards giggled away, and Buckland looked at their backs worriedly, "I don't think anyone is nervous. ”

"For the uninitiated, it's not easy for the army to attack, and it takes time to prepare just for supplies. The lord put his arm around Buckland's shoulder, "We have at least half a month left, and then we'll start to get nervous and spank a fart." ”

"Then we can take all the ancient weapons and go to Cologne to mercenaries. "Buckland had a brilliant idea, and it was just in time.

"Antiques can't be sold in a hurry, otherwise they will lose money if they are depressed. Richard rejected the opposition party's proposal with one vote, "Do you understand that there is no business and no treachery?"

Anne's face turned ugly. She can't deny that she's a businessman, and at the same time can't accept the notoriety of being cunning.

"Well, Miss Anne, I didn't mean you. The lord immediately realized that he was scolding the bald man in front of the monk.

Thousands of people throughout the Alpine Fort began to be put into operation in preparation for the coming war.

The hill was located on the west side of the river, and considering that it would not be easy to build for such a long time, Richard decided to place the preset battlefield on the east side of the river.

The seclusion across the river was enough to ensure safety, and the flatter terrain on the east bank was also conducive to the decisive role of the dragon in the land of Sgar.

The troll Ha began to run to the river every day to use soil fertilization, rewarded with jerky, and his enthusiasm was quite high, and the weeds and reeds soon began to grow at an astonishing rate, like a green wall adjacent to the riverbank.

In order to make everything look more realistic, Richard ordered a fake lord's hall to be built on the east bank of the river, and tried to make it stand out and use a lot of wood to make it tall. Anne also lent him the emblem of the Voya Firm, which was hung on the wall side by side with a pair of crossed swords and shields, which looked more like that.

The real hall on the hill is a semi-underground building that is unremarkable, and has never been decorated with insignia. Let Richard judge for himself, this fake is also more like the real thing and more magnificent than the real thing.

At the same time, the Centaur Rangers began to roam in small groups three times a day, scouting the surroundings for any disturbances.
