"Lord Duke, it's not good." Garseen had just arrived in the conference room, and there were already quite a few people in the room, and it was obvious that the current situation was not good, otherwise these people would not have been in such a hurry, and hurried to the Duke's palace in the middle of the night.

"What's the situation? What is the situation of the Cuogra tribe? "Gasein's side doesn't even know what the so-called Zogra tribe is, after all, he has just come here to become a lord, and he still doesn't know a lot about the local situation.

"Lord Duke, the tribe of Tsoguera is a large tribe in the south, a tribe of the Megmers. Previously, the relationship between the Wrong Gla tribe and the territory was quite good, and Wren should have reached some agreements with the Wrong Gram tribe, probably to give them some annual pensions and the like, so the Wrong Gla tribe has been at peace with this side for more than ten years, and the current situation, it is estimated that the Wrong Grama tribe heard that the lord has changed here, and it is very likely that they will be worried about the annual pension problem, so this time the troops are probably coming to let us also pay the annuity. A minister dressed as a civilian official said.

"Annuity?" Gaseen frowned, he had heard of the Megmo, they were a common barbarian in the south of the empire, in fact, they were also humans, but they looked different from ordinary people in the empire, they were tall and had a lot of body hair, and they looked very barbaric. In fact, the Megmo people are indeed very savage, and the level of civilization is generally very low, but they seem to have a natural advantage in terms of strength, and they are very adapted to the life of the southern forest.

The territories in the south of the empire are more or less infested by the Megmos, and some lords choose to fight against them, anyway, there are waves of fights, and some are paying money, it is obvious that Wren belongs to the latter, and the chieftains of the other side have reached an agreement to pay money and grain every year, anyway, the other party will not come to make trouble.

Gasein's first reaction to the matter of paying money was resistance, as a hot-blooded man, he was very unhappy with this thing of spending money to buy peace. However, he also knew that this gang was really difficult to deal with, even if they were repelled this time, but after the other party retreated into the forests in the south, it would become a guerrilla war, and you could not catch them by sending an army, but when the army left, they would come out to rob and kill people, and attack the villages and cities in the south. Of course, Rennes chose to pay the money, probably because of this reason.

"How many people are coming?" Garseen asked first.

"Probably...... 5000 looks. A general next to him replied. The Megmo belong to the kind of tribe where all the people are soldiers, and the number of people in a tribe can basically raise as many soldiers, and even women and old people sometimes participate in battles, because of their natural physical advantages, their combat effectiveness is quite strong.

Garseen frowned, there are quite a few people in his territory, but the problem is that the soldiers are in their early 4,000s, although they are regular troops, they have great advantages in weapons and equipment, but they do not possess the individual quality of the soldiers, and they still have geographical advantages, which is not easy to do.

"Lord Duke, the other party is not good this time." A civilian official next to him said anxiously, "If it was just to discuss the annuity, I wouldn't have brought so many troops here, this time it seems that it's not just a matter of the annuity, I even suspect that someone has contacted them and is ready to do something to us......"

"Wren's remnants?" Garseen asked.

"Yes." The civil official nodded. Although most of Wren's family members were caught and executed, there were also those who escaped, after all, the Wren family is a big family, so now the Merlowe family and the Wren family must have formed a mortal feud, and the other party will definitely do everything possible to find trouble with Garthern.

"Lord Duke, what now?" Another civil servant next to him also asked anxiously.

"Yes, Lord Duke, please make a decision early, the enemy is already coming towards us."

It can be seen that everyone is in a hurry, which makes the atmosphere of the whole conference room tense. Just when everyone was in a hurry, Linton suddenly walked into the conference room.

"It's all said, take this egg." Linton said as he handed the egg in his hand to Garsein, "Take a few more steps, and it may hatch soon." ”

"I'm in a military meeting right now, okay? Take this egg too? Garseen said.

"What's going to be good about this?" Linton looked at the people in the conference room, there were indeed a lot of people he hadn't seen before, most of them were civilian officials, and a few generals Linton had seen them in the barracks before, "This barbarian tribe doesn't need to have a special meeting to discuss how to deal with it, you say yes." ”

"Well, Lord Duke, I think what Lord Sword Saint said is reasonable, it seems that there is no need to be in such a hurry, the enemy's troops will arrive tomorrow, let's sleep a little more to recuperate, and wait for the other party to arrive every day." A general stood up and said.

"Yes, Lord Duke, 5,000 barbarian soldiers are only, they can't set off any storms, the soldiers have been patrolling and maintaining law and order in recent days, so don't gather troops to fight them, let the soldiers have a good rest." A civil servant next to him also said.

"You're really realistic." Garseen lifts the forehead.

"Well, my lord, is it a hindrance to your rest by coming so late, or will we go back?" Another civilian said.

"Scattered, scattered." Garsein waved his hand.

Garsein waved his hand, and the ministers departed in a very cooperative manner. The tense atmosphere was gone, and they were still whispering as they walked, as if they had just finished a dinner party.

"Uncle Linton is back, and I don't know when he came back."

"Is that the Juggernaut-sama? I really can't see it, but fortunately I inquired about it beforehand, and it would be embarrassing if I didn't recognize it. ”

"I don't know what will happen to those Megmores, I heard that Lord Linton has a very short temper."

"I always feel that your name is more useful than mine." Garseen also listened to the whispers of these ministers, and couldn't help but speak.

"So let you hurry up and train to the saint level, this is not the problem is solved." Linton said.

"Holy level is not so simple." Gasain said, of course he also wants to become a saint, as a martial artist, who doesn't want to be promoted to the saint level.

"Karp didn't say that you have a talent for armed colors, so you can even estimate that you can practice it soon." Linton said, "Leave the affairs of the territory to the rest of the family, don't they like to do these things?" ”

Garseen was silent for a moment, what Linton said was true, some people in the family really wanted to put their hands in it, and their desire for power was very strong, but Garseen knew who these people were, and he didn't know what would happen if he handed over power to them.

"No matter what they want, as long as you can reach the level of the saint level, it is useless to have intrigue and intrigue or anything like that." Linton also seemed to see through Garsein's thoughts, and said directly.

"'I...... Think about it. Garseen nodded slightly.

After such a play, Garsein couldn't sleep at all tonight. It just so happened that Linton also wanted to know about the situation of the territory, and he was not about to engage in a construction task, so he also listened to Garsein introduce the situation of the territory a little.

The size of the dukedom of Garseen is still very large, and the entire dukedom is divided into five regions, each region is equivalent to a county, of which three counties are directly governed by Garsein, and the other two are ruled by local counts.

The main city of the territory is the Moon Lake City, where they are now, and it is true that there is a huge lake next to the city, which is what Linton saw when he was on the tower before. This lake, known as Lake Tsukiko, is very large, the largest lake in the territory, and it is said that its origin is not ordinary.

Legend has it that a huge meteorite fell from the sky not long ago, and the place where it fell was in the center of the Moon Lake, and someone built a castle next to the crater where the meteorite fell, and this castle is Starfall Fort. After that, the area around the castle gradually developed, and this is the origin of Moon Lake City. At present, after several generations of lords, Moon Lake City has become an important trade node in the southwest of the empire, and the commerce is very developed, and the commercial tax alone can collect tens of thousands of gold every year, which can be said to be a treasure land. At that time, Wren also relied on these commercial taxes to raise a decent army.

In addition to Moon Lake City, there are six cities with a population of more than 100,000 in the territory, and the population size of the entire territory is about 1 million, which is considered a very fat territory. Of course, there are also shortcomings, first of all, because it is located in the southwest of the empire, agriculture is not very developed, and the grain production in the territory is very low, so there is still some grain that needs to be imported every year, fortunately, the business is developed, which is not a big deal, and the other more troublesome place is the barbarians, in addition to the Megmo people who are now looking for trouble in the south, there are also barbarians in the west, and the barbarians in the west are more troublesome than in the south, because they are not even Terrans.

The two chatted and chatted, and Gaseen also fell asleep directly on the table, and Linton didn't know when he fell asleep on the chair, until after dawn, a minister walked into the conference room and called the two up.

"Lord Duke, excuse me." The Chancellor pushed Garseen awake and said.

"What's the matter?" Garseen asked, confused.

"We're already surrounded by barbarians, and now those Megmo seem to be preparing to attack the city, what do you think we should do now?" The minister asked.

"The enemy is under the city?" Garseen was slightly stunned, "Why are you calling me now?" And what about our army? ”

"Are they still sleeping, do you want to wake them up?"
