Fortunately, there is a map provided by the city designer Steve, which clearly shows the extent of the swamp, otherwise this problem would be enough for Celery's headache. As for whether the territory turning into a swamp will attract the lizardmen in the southwest swamp to go north, he has already dealt with it.

"My lord, let me ask you, is there winter in the Duchy of Canter? Does it snow in winter? ”

"Of course. I had been here for three years, so I was familiar with it. Like Zigra, Kanter had ten months in winter, seventeen months in summer, five months in spring, and only four months in autumn. ”

Jadol was a little baffled, but answered truthfully.

"Then let me ask you, have you ever heard of lizardmen living in swamps with winter inhabited by humans?"

Ciri asked with a smile. "In this world, everyone knows that lizardfolk have heart problems and can only live in swamps without winter. Since the winter is so long here, are you afraid that the lizardfolk will suddenly appear? ”

With this sentence, Jador was really moved. That's right, lizardfolk have heart problems that everyone knows. I can't believe him! This is also the way the aborigines of this world think of lizardmen. From the perspective of past life biology, lizards belong to the reptile class and hibernate in winter. As an intelligent race, how do lizardmen not know the nature of humans? To put it mildly, if they dare to invade Kanter, with the greedy personality of humans, they will not find out all the lizardmen who hibernate and cannot move by winter!

"Alas! Before you know it, all the problems have not been solved by you. You're such an amazing kid! By the way, is it reliable about the soldiers? Eight years ago, I attacked this place once with Pompeit, it's not that I look down on those people in the Rolando Kingdom, their soldiers are in good physical condition, but most of them are the kind of farmers who can only farm. In the early days of the war, it can be said that it will be defeated with one blow, and if it cannot be won quickly, those peasants will become the elite of the army and cannot be defeated, so for so many years, Zigra has never been able to fight this place. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I still have a little experience in military training. Besides, we are looking for peasants, and our enemies are not also peasants? Besides, I have more than 2,000 captives. Hehe, I don't know if the lords of this city were particularly fond of ranged troops in the past, and this time all kinds of crossbowmen alone accounted for more than half of the captives. ”

"Oh? Do you still have crossbowmen captives? "Jardor is in the mood." Ciri, to be honest, my initial talisman is a crossbowman. If you have ready-made infantry, I can buy it from you at a high price. ”

"I don't want your money, I'll give it to you for free. However, I would like you to transfer my acquaintances and soldiers to my account. ”

"Yes."

Jador agreed, turning to remove a marching backpack-like object from a nearby cabinet and handing it to Desiree. "In this large storage backpack, there are 20,000 gold coins and more than 8,000 sets of various soldiers' equipment. My request is simple, as long as you give me five knights, a knight order that is half crossbowmen and half infantry, or all crossbow warriors. Others are at will. As long as you can do it, I have no problem with you emptying my existing troops. ”

"Okay, Master Bao, you are satisfied!"

If you give 8,000 soldiers equipment but only 5,000, is there a better task to do? Besides, he still has a large amount of equipment on hand, and it can be said that the materials in this marching storage backpack are the same as those picked up for nothing. Besides, he hadn't forgotten that training his soldiers could increase his bravery and military strategy.

The next day, Ciri's conscription spread directly to the entire town of Xicheng and the surrounding rural towns that had not yet been captured by the expeditionary force. Everyone knows that the conscription lords here never pay the settling-in fee, but everyone still didn't expect that in just three days, the number of people who came to apply for the conscription would exceed 50,000!

The population density of this human country is indeed very large, but a territory like Zhenxi Territory, which is only more than 50,000 square kilometers, is really terrifying enough to pick out so many qualified young people!

The old hats here haven't seen money? Of course not. However, these people are not stupid, they know that the war may last for a long time, and they will be forcibly conscripted into the army if they can't get a copper plate in the end. Instead of that, try your luck. Of course, the main reason is that Xi Rui took out his treasured battle qi cultivation method and various basic personal combat skills. Passed the selection index, stayed; If you don't pass or don't want to pass, you can also learn battle qi cultivation and weapon basic cultivation for free for self-protection.

The people enthusiastically joined the army, and the icing on the cake followed. Marshal Pompei, who learned of this, waved his pen and directly gave Ciri the appointment of a conscription officer. Quartermasters are in charge of money, food, and materials, and recruiters are in charge of soldiers' weapons. This is a fat shortage that others can't even think about! I didn't expect Xirui to be honest.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. He has never cared about the second half of this sentence. Although he also acquiesced to many of the rules of this world, one yard is one yard. In this world, the combat effectiveness of the army mainly comes from the hero's bonus to his subordinates. If you pay attention to the soldiers, you are really digging your own grave!

In the afternoon, Taylor Mack and others were in charge of the recruitment work outside, while Ciri himself went headlong into prison. If he asks the captives. Ordinary soldiers, of course, happily took the settling-in allowance to integrate into the boot camp of Xirui for training, but those who were even nobles had to ask in person.

"Oh? So you're willing to join us in the Kingdom of Zigra and serve on our side? ”

"That's right, my lord, I've been a hundred years old, but I don't even mix with a knight, since Rolando can't give me the status of hard work, then I'd rather follow you."

"Well, then I'll introduce you to the other lords, not to mention at least one knighthood, and they won't be stingy."

"Why do you say you don't want to play for Zigra?"

"Yes, my lord, don't look at me like this, I am also a direct nobleman of King Rolando, and I can easily serve a foreign country, and my family may be affected."

"Alright, take the road I opened, and you can leave. But don't forget the rules. ”

"I still have three more stores in Cherish City, it's yours."

After the trial of one captive is replaced by another, those who are willing to stay will go to training, and those who are not willing to stay, Siri will not force it at all. In an extremely painful battle, there was a lack of mid-level commanders on the side of other nobles, but there was no shortage on his side.

After a while, more than a dozen captives were interrogated, originally, Xi Rui wanted to ask how many pieces were left for interrogation, but he didn't expect that this time there would be five people directly in at once. Others, I don't know the identity yet, but the Posey who has a head of N 10,000-degree light bulbs, he can't forget it. (To be continued.) )
