Chapter 50: The Hero Arrives

A good night's sleep does not bring a full mind, but rather a heavy sleep, resulting in a dizzy mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Yi, who couldn't lift his energy at all, got up with difficulty with the help of Auston's butler, and came to the castle hall, ready to start dealing with today's things.

"Are you sure you don't need to eat anything? My adult? Auston followed Xiao Yi with a simple breakfast in his own hand, and repeatedly confirmed whether Xiao Yi needed breakfast.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Yi was a little impatient by his repeated questions, so he weakly picked up a piece of bread and tore off a piece of bread, swallowed it in three or two bites, and then picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp.

Putting the empty cup on the tray, Xiao Yi retched twice, he didn't have much appetite.

After Auston handed the plate to the waiter, he stood on the side of Xiao Yi's throne and said respectfully, "My lord, today His Excellency the Chief of the Guard would like to report to you on the progress of soldier recruitment and related matters related to follow-up training. ”

Before Xiao Yi could recruit a qualified chief affairs officer, Auston Butler temporarily took over this responsibility.

"Anything else?" Nodding to show that he understood, Xiao Yi asked.

Auston bowed his head, and he became more and more of an aristocratic steward, and he reported rigidly: "The farmland cultivated in the City of Angels is growing well, but it is a little far from the river, and it is difficult to irrigate it, and the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture hope to obtain funds to drill wells. ”

"Yes!"

"Mr. Fording, the owner of the dead farmland, sent the last quarter's taxes this morning by way of a grain mortgage, and the tax collector has counted them and put them in the warehouse."

The first expansion after the establishment of the City of Angels was that Xiao Yi took the death farmland not far away, and sold it to the farmer Foding in exchange for a lot of food, and successfully survived the early days. Of course, as the sacred and inalienable territory of the City of Angels, the farmers of Foding need to pay taxes.

"Anything else?" The City of Angels, which is already on the right track, is no longer short of food.

Although the western wilderness was plagued by food crises due to the invasion of orcs, once there was a ruler and contact with the outside world, the food problem could not bother Azeroth.

Alston continued: "Yes, the sheriff wants your lord to order the execution of the gnolls held in the city, because they do not bring us much benefit, but because they often run away, they cause a great danger to the security of the people. ”

He paused: "Lady Liba was at home last night when she was attacked by a gnoll slave hiding in the cellar, and she was very frightened! ”

"Ms. Liba......" Xiao Yi recalled, and then shivered.

The name reminded him of the burly woman who was carrying a rucksack almost a man tall, carrying two little boys, and finally a skinny man when he was fleeing!

After Aunt Liba's figure and appearance were remembered, Xiao Yi actually felt that the drowsiness in his mind had disappeared! He touched his chin and thought:

"Yes! Execute the gnolls, and have the dire wolves cooperate with the sheriff to scrutinize the city to see if anything has slipped through the net. ”

"Yes, my lord, I don't have anything left here, do you need to summon His Excellency the Chief of Guard?" I don't know where a roll of parchment came from, Auston wrote down Xiao Yi's decree with a clipboard pad, and said respectfully.

"Okay." Stretching his waist, Xiao Yi cheered up and prepared to start today's daily task......

Not long after the butler left, Sharif strode in, full of energy, he didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the complicated military affairs, it seemed that he preferred the life of the barracks to the annoying government affairs?

"Good morning, my lord!" After saluting respectfully, Sharif looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.

Seeing that Sharif was in such good spirits, Xiao Yi couldn't help but tease: "It seems that your life is very comfortable, my Lord Guard." ”

"Not really, sir." Sharif chuckled. "I'm glad that your legion is about to be reorganized!"

Xiao Yi's spirit was shocked, since the speech, the leaders have signed up for the army very actively, coupled with the addition of Yuexi Town, and the spread of more and more widespread fame, attracting more refugees, so that Xiao Yi has a population of more than 20,000 people for the first time!

It's almost unimaginable! At the same time, it also made Xiao Yi understand why there was an extreme shortage of food in the Western Wilderness later!

Although the western wilderness is vast and suitable for growing food, it can't stand the crowds! Xiao Yi was sure that these 20,000 people were definitely not the entire population of the Western Wilderness.

Excluding the residents who already lived here, according to the reports of the scouts, at least 30,000 to 40,000 refugees are short of food and clothing! Almost the entire surviving population of the Stormwind Kingdom is gathered here.

Therefore, after Xiao Yi let out a roar against the orcs, the 5,000-man legion expected by Sharif was quickly filled, and it did not have any impact on any civil work, and the endless stream of refugees made the City of Angels not have a shortage of workers in the short term!

"Tell me about it!" Xiao Yi shouted excitedly, what man doesn't want to have elite soldiers under his command?

"Maybe you'll soon be promoted from captain of the guard to captain of the legion!"

"Yes, my lord!" Sharif said with a serious expression: "At present, the corps of 5,000 people has been recruited, but the weapons and equipment are not yet in place, especially the cavalry troops. ”

"There are 2,000 infantry, I have divided them into sword and shield bearers and spearmen, to make up for the shortcomings of the single class of the Templar's early risers, at present, all the weapons have been installed, and there is still a big gap in the armor equipment, at this time they are training discipline and waiting for actual combat practice."

"The crossbowmen are not fully equipped yet, mainly because the blacksmith's crossbow production is too slow, but I expect to be fully equipped in a week or two."

"The biggest problem is still in the cavalry, our number of war horses is too scarce, and the impact of the wolf is not strong, so I plan to use the war horse as a mount for the shock cavalry, and they are the future cavalry reserves."

Xiao Yi nodded, he understood that the cavalry in Sharif's mouth was the class of heroes and invincible: "I'm curious, if you are an archer, why don't you use a bow and arrow?" The range of the bolt is the biggest flaw, huh? ”

"My lord!" Sharif said with a wry smile: "You have to understand that bows and arrows require very high skill and cannot last in battle, and in defensive battles, the range of crossbow arrows is more than enough. ”

Shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Sharif to continue.

However, just as Sharif was about to continue his report, Butler Alston walked in and interrupted the conversation.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, my lord! But outside the castle there is a warrior who claims to be a hero, and I sincerely ask for your reception. ”
