The search for contact with the Southern Legion of Eruin was clueless, and the mercenaries sent in the direction of the Glajir Mountains were either gone or brought back useless news. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

Brando knew that the mercenaries sent out weren't necessarily reliable.

Not everyone of the mercenaries who fit into this group will be single-minded: Fern, Clensia, and Juta all have their own plans, and many more have a passable mentality.

Some of the people who were sent out just ran away, which Brando was not unaware of, but he did not intend to use coercive means, and it was useless.

Only those who sincerely stay with him through thick and thin are reliable people. Jin Ran Brando did not sit idly by, and on the days when the shadow of the war from the direction of Pallas was getting cloudier and darker over Toniger, he arranged for his trusted men to continue through the mountains through Shavlund to search for the traces of the southern army of Eruin.

On the one hand, the construction of the territory was also in progress, and the renovation of the city walls was finally completed at the end of the frost month, nearly a week later than expected, and the materials required far exceeded expectations, and the only benefits were probably the workers who were recruited to repair the walls.

In fact, this matter was not as smooth as imagined at first, because no one wanted to work for this young new lord, who was not justified in name, and Grudin's prestige remained, not to mention that the prestige of Count Denel was even heavier in the hearts of these lower lords.

The agreed policy of tenderness ran into trouble almost immediately, and the inducement of material conditions did not allow them to overcome their fear of the power of the old aristocracy, or of the reprisals that might ensue. Antitina soon realized, "If it weren't even for the mercenaries who cordoned off the area around Fir City, or if these low-level lords shared the same fear of Brando, I'm afraid the mass exodus would have begun long ago."

After understanding this, the aristocratic daughter finally understood the mistake she had made, and she had no choice but to use coercive means to make up for this mistake~ And in order to ensure the construction period, in the end, Antitina even acted as a hand, the nobleman's dog.

The maiden herself led the men to the outer city, drove out the inhabitants who lived in the huts and huts, gathered them tremblingly in the field, ordered the soldiers to give them tools, and let the mercenaries supervise their work.

Of course, although Miss Noble has reduced the violent element as much as possible, the violence in supervision is still unavoidable, "Miss Demon, the title soon spread in private."

The whole day passed through the coping of the workers and the resistance of the overseers. But this change in attitude came from the fact that after the first day of work, to everyone's surprise, this one, Miss Demon, arranged a sumptuous dinner for them. Not only did the dinner have rare white bread, but there was even a broth that was not worthy of its name, so clear that it was almost only water and no meat, and it looked like a waterhole in the mountains. So much so that the nobles' daughters couldn't help frowning when they saw those pots of boiling meat, but this was not because the mercenaries were harsh, "The meat was brought from the forest by the mercenaries, although there was a lot, but it was not enough for many people to share it."

She was a little worried that the workers would complain, but it turned out that things were completely different from what she expected.

These refugees, who had lived in the slums for many years, could barely walk when they smelled the rich aroma of the broth, and their eyes became brighter than those of the hungriest wolves in the forest.

As for whether it is clear or not, it is completely unnecessary.

In fact, seeing the way the workers gobbled up," Antitina realized she had made another mistake. She remembers that when she was in Pragues, she could only nibble on a little black bread every day, let alone eat meat.

And with the power of this dinner, "the aristocratic daughter finally stabilized people's hearts." She said that as long as they stay on the construction site, everyone can eat this food every day.

The promise almost caused a stir among the crowd, and although the workers were skeptical, most of them were willing to stay and see what was going on, not to mention that even if they didn't want to, the vicious mercenaries would help them make a choice. But their doubts were quickly dispelled, and the one, Miss Demon, fulfilled his promise and let them eat a white bread and a small plate of soup every night.

As a direct result of this, the meat reserves in the warehouses have been rapidly reduced, since not too many of the meat reserves in the warehouses come from a small number of domesticated domestic animals in the territory, mostly mutton or pork, some of which have been marinated for quite some time.

In the past, this meat was provided to Grudin and his men, but now it is used to feed hundreds of people every day, and naturally the supply exceeds the demand.

For this reason, Flo complained to Antitina more than once, saying that if she continued to consume it like this, it was estimated that when Brando returned, their lord would not be able to eat a meal of meat.

This statement once struck Antitina, who had the young lord whom she most admired in her heart, and the workers from among the refugees, and the noble lady would choose the former without much thought.

But after much consideration, she finally insisted on her own approach. She asked the mercenaries to hunt in the forest as much as possible and even put down their daily training, just to replenish their meat consumption.

But this practice brought unexpected benefits, and the workers gradually inquired that Miss Demon, in order to ensure their dinner, arranged for people to hunt in the forest outside the city, and hunted in the private hunting grounds of the lord of the past!

This practice once moved everyone, and some people even quietly asked the mercenary to sue her, so that she didn't have to spend so much money, "In fact, it's good to have white bread every day."

The workers began to fear that the young lord would punish the kind and benevolent noble lady for this.

But what they did only strengthened Antitina's confidence: "Not only that, but she then told the workers that it was not her, but the lord who arranged the qiē, so they had nothing to worry about.

Antitina used this small explanation to put all the credit on Brando, "Coupled with the young lord's previous tax reduction and exemption, he gained a high reputation among these lower-class lords for a while.

Of course, Brando didn't know anything about this at the time, because the young man was dealing with the affairs of the mines in Shavrund at the time, and he was unaware of what happened in the territory.

In fact, Antitina didn't realize that she would succeed at first, as she had no experience in governing territories, and only had a few brief discussions with Brando during the trip.

But it didn't take long for her to realize that she had done nothing wrong.

Less than a week after the corresponding countermeasures were introduced, she was asked by a mercenary asking if the lord needed more manpower.

This is clearly a sign that her construction site can attract more workers. But that's not all" shows that between the remnants of the old aristocracy and the prestige of the young new lords, someone has begun to waver.

This is undoubtedly a good sign.

However, the only thing that makes Antitina regret is that the good omen did not save the delay in the end, on the one hand, it was too much time delayed in the first place, and on the other hand, it is true that none of them are well-versed in architecture and engineering.

The addition of Master Beru may have more or less reversed some of their mistakes in arranging manpower, but the master smith of the kingdom was not a true professional, and he may have a unique insight into how to create a piece of magical armor.

But it was definitely not in the repair of a section of the wall, and it was not until the old dwarf Oldum from the mines of Shavrlund joined in, no matter how unreliable the old dwarf was, but at least he had learned a little more or less from his fellow mountain dwarves.

After correcting a few previous misconceptions, "the repair process was quickly accelerated, and at the end of the month, it was finally completed."

On the morning of completion, Antitina summoned Brando, Metisa, Charles, and all of the young man's henchmen. She stood in the early morning mist with Akane and Roman, quietly watching the city wall looming behind the fog in early winter, "and finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief."

But then she frowned slightly, looked back at Brando, who was also looking in that direction, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, lord, I wasted so much time."

Brando glanced at his staff, his eyes full of appreciation.

He remembers his time in Pragues: "He was lucky to be able to dig up a man who could make a magic channel, which was certainly a happier thing than finding gold on the side of the road."

But it wasn't until today that he really realized that "what he had picked up was not just a treasure, but also a priceless treasure."

Antitina is a very quiet girl, but she also has her own persistence, Brando can see this girl's insistence on her ideals and beliefs, and he thinks that he can "make such a wonderful girl serve herself wholeheartedly."

After returning to the realm, he had learned all about the work of the nobleman's daughter. He had been worried that Antitina, who had no experience in governing territory, would run into trouble, and he even expected that the wall might not be until next month.

That is, the repair can only be completed in the middle of the sleeping month, which is not a big trouble, but it may still cause some inconvenience after the first snow.

But Antitina gave him a great surprise, and the noblewoman's daughter accomplished the task with her usual seriousness and meticulousness beyond his expectations.

Not only that, but the appearance of Beru and Oldham also satisfied him, except that the old dwarf was a little timid.

He looked at Antitina, smiled slightly in agreement, and nodded! ~！
