"I am the commander of the 19th Legion, Volima, I was ordered to come to suppress the bandits, this lord, I originally wanted to rob you, but seeing that you have killed so many people, you are by no means idle, so I hope you can hand over some food, and I will retreat immediately" Vollima said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Andes looked at Volima in surprise and said, "Don't you soldiers have any food?" ”

Volima smiled bitterly: "The food was robbed, but it was not the enemy who robbed it, it was the refugees who robbed it, the hungry refugees attacked the army escorting the food, and robbed the military food, many of the troops have turned into bandits, and some have been openly disbanded, and even many family members have been killed or disappeared and treasoned." ”

Andes asked calmly, "What about you?" Can't so many big men still find a bite to eat? ”

Volima looked at Andes and knew that the lord in front of him was a smart man and couldn't hide it: "Okay, I admit it, we are from several neighboring villages, and after the army is chaotic, we will return to our hometown, pick up our family members who are about to starve to death, and start fleeing, because there are old people, women, children, our supplies are simply not enough, plus the cold winter, many infirm people are sick and need a lot of medicine........"

Andes groaned for a moment and asked Carter, "How are the grain reserves this year?" ”

Carter said, "I don't know, but I remember that you used to ask Hills to make three years of food reserves, but I don't know if Hills is doing it well." ”

Andes: "Volima, you hear, you can come with us, but I don't know if there is enough food, but if you don't get there, you leave, but I hope you don't resent me, and if you do, I hope you swear allegiance to me to the gods, how about it?" ”

Volima pondered for a moment, "I promise you. ”

Andes pointed at the men and asked, "What about them?" ”

"They will." Volima's answer was simple.

In this way, Andes returned with a total of five hundred soldiers, including the families of the soldiers.

............................................................................

The snow kept falling in winter, and Hills looked at the team of more than 300 people, and finally felt a sense of security, a few days ago, hundreds of refugees came to Cadila to grab things, but were blocked back by the escort, and Hills did not think so, and did not develop the guard.

At this time, Ashia, who was told by Andes that she was the mistress of the Cadila Lord, suddenly told Hills to recruit three hundred guards.

Hills didn't agree at the time, but Athea was tough, so Hills had no choice but to comply, and on the third day of the establishment of the new guard, hundreds of homeless people flocked to it, and without the new guard, it would not be able to resist it with the strength of the front guard.

Thinking of this, Shears left a cold sweat, and just as Shills was about to go to check the accounts, he heard the sentry's voice: "Alert, vigilance." "The teams that were originally practicing lined up and prepared for battle.

When Andes returned to Cadilla, he saw a fully armed look.

Shears peeked at the enemy and saw that it was Andes, so he shouted, "Lay down your arms, it's the lord who is back!" You don't want to make way for your lordship. ”

"Hills," Andes asked aloud, "Is there enough food for another five hundred people this year?" ”

Hills smiled flatteringly, "Of course, how dare I not do what you tell me?" There are three years' worth of grain in the territory! ”

Andes looked at the five hundred people with a smile, and Volima and the others looked at Andes gratefully, and knelt down on one knee: "We swear to the gods and swear to follow Lord Cadila to the death!" ”

Andes smiled and said, "Get up, go to the territory, and I will arrange for someone to give you food and a place to live." ”

Entering his castle with the three daughters, Vivien severely attacked the nouveau riche taste, Andis didn't care, and after hugging Aichia, he listened to Hills tell what happened in the territory:

"This year, in order to deal with the invasion of the Norma Empire, the Arava Empire not only made ten rooms empty in order to recruit troops, but also wantonly collected the people's food reserves for the war, and most of the territory of the entire empire was full of refugees.

A generation of famous generals Hawa with an army of 800,000 not only repelled the Norma Empire, but even counterattacked once, but it had no effect, and even the army had just returned home, so it had to disperse and guard the major military points, because there was no military rations, and the people had run out.

General Hawa's army that was actually used to suppress the refugees was only 200,000, but the number of refugees was too large, and the soldiers also wanted to go home because of this sight, and General Hawa's 200,000 army was left in a few days.

Now His Majesty has recalled him to guard the imperial capital, and when he saw that General Hawa had not returned with a single soldier, he ordered General Hawa to be killed, General Hawa was already on the run, and the empire had sent people to hunt him down, but no one was found.

Now the Cadila territory has also been affected, the empire has sent people to levy soldiers and food, and I have sent it away with food and three thousand gold coins, a few days ago there was a small group of refugees appeared, and they were blocked back by the soldiers, but in a few days hundreds of refugees attacked the territory, if it were not for the conscription ordered by Lady Aichia, I am afraid that I really can't resist the refugees. ”

After hearing this, Andes looked at Hills with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Hills, a tax collector actually needs three thousand gold coins to pass away, and now the gold coins are so worthless?" ”

Hills' sudden cold sweat led to Andes saying, "Okay, I don't want to pursue this matter, I want to know how many gold coins I have, how many guards I have." ”

Shears breathed a sigh of relief: "Due to the large purchase of food plus the support of the Scana Collar, plus your expenses in the academy, there are only four hundred thousand left. As for the soldiers, plus the three hundred newly drafted and the ten who died in battle, there were three hundred and fifty. ”

Andes: "Integrate the one hundred and fifty people I brought with them, select one hundred of the worst ones as transportation and transportation support, select fifty of the most vigilant ones as sentinels, and transfer fifty people to be responsible for the security of the territory." The remaining 300 men were to be used as a standing army of the territory for intensive training, so tell Volima that this force is led by him. ”

After Andes finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and Sears saw this and withdrew.

Andes looked at Athea, "What else did your father say?" ”

Ashia looked dazed: "What? ”

Looking at the confusion on Hilla's face, she couldn't help but sigh at the woman's acting skills: "You are a big lady who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, if it wasn't for your father to write a letter to remind you, how could you suddenly intervene and let Hills organize the army?" ”

"Suddenly" sober Athea: "Oh, you say this, my father said, the empire is going to fall, so I'd better go back to Skarna." ”

Andes let out a long sigh, some things can't be stopped, and then he sighed at this setting, what about the true destiny of the Son of Heaven to save a country? Is it really good to die like this? Immediately thinking of Shang and Zhou's death due to the emperor's mediocrity, he sighed and turned around to go to the study: "Come on, go and inform Hills to wait for me in the study." ”

Andes prostrated himself on the desk, waved his hand and wrote two letters with a pencil he had made, one of which went like this:

His Majesty Emperor Norma, the Great Long Live himself:

I am Andis Cadilla, Earl of the Arava Empire, and I feel that although the Emperor of the Arava Empire is sage, he has become incompetent because of the slanderous words of the villain, the people are not happy, they are starving for thousands of miles, they are hungry, they are discouraged, and even the loyal general of the empire, General Hawa, has been condemned as treason, and this empire has reached the verge of collapse.

In order to save this empire that is about to collapse, I hope that His Majesty the great Emperor Norma will lead the heavenly soldiers to sweep away the army of ten thousand troops and come quickly, kill the traitors who bewitched the Emperor of Ava, and return the Empire of Alava to a world of political clarity, military strength, and people prosperity, so as to prove your saint's heart.

I have heard for a long time that the politics of the Norma Empire are clear, the warehouses are full of currency and grain, the people are rich, and the army is outstanding, which shows that Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the officials of the Arawa Empire eat and take cards, rob the people's daughters, and act recklessly, which is even more incomparably holy to you, and I hope that one day I can be a small lord under your rule. It's better than being a duke in the Arava Empire.

I only show you respect with the heart of my fist, and I order the housekeeper to bring 200,000 gold coins to help you clear the king's side, think carefully, not into respect, and hope that Your Majesty will accept it with a smile.

Count Cadilla, Yours sincerely, Andis Cadilla

The other letter goes like this:

Honorable Duke of Skarna

Your daughter Athia Skana is a brilliant and famous, and is known as the top of the beauty of the Bright Continent along with the Norma Princesses Avinia and Lavinia, but it is a foregone conclusion that the Norma Empire will sweep away the evil of the Alava Empire, and the mediocre monarch and the weakened empire will surely become history.

However, the peerless beauty of Ashia is not something that the next little earl can afford, and the swarming of noble children and the forces behind them can easily crush a small cadilla.

Miss Ashia has been with Zai Xia for a while, but Xia discovers that Miss Ashia is in love with Miss Vivien of the Cavill family, and the concubine is interested in asking the Duke to marry them and spread the word to the world.

Count Cadilla, Yours sincerely, Andis Cadilla

Eighty-seven days of the cold month of the fourth and third eight years of the Helen Celestial Calendar

After writing two letters, he said to Hills, who had already arrived behind him: "You personally deliver this letter to the Emperor of the Norma Empire, and prepare 200,000 gold coins to give to Your Majesty when you go." The letter was sent to the Duke of Skarna, quickly, and both letters were sent quickly. ”

Hills was stunned for a long time, then turned away with a wry smile.

Andes sighed softly and lay down in his chair. Anna came behind him at some point and gently rubbed Andes's temples, Andes pulled Anna behind him in his arms and hugged her silently.
