"Everybody here has to work, and you don't have that kind of qualifications than telling me the conditions."

"Be honest and obedient, and I won't embarrass you. But as long as I find someone lazy or vandalistic, don't blame me for being rude. ”

"Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue. The Saxon kingdom has been defeated, and the entire kingdom coalition has been defeated. South of Kamui Fortress, we have captured millions of your men. ”

These news were completely shocking to the mayor, but he could not digest it for a while, and he could only open his mouth, stunned, and unable to say a word.

Peng Hui was very satisfied with this, and in order to deepen the effect, he continued: "Of course, you can also let your people choose to refuse. I don't mind changing my people's flavours and adding more fresh roasts to the daily menu. ”

There was more threat in his words than before, and it occurred to the mayor that the legend of the northern giants was very different in their choice of food, and they had special "advantages" in this respect that white people could not match.

"You have two sons and a daughter." Peng Hui's words are meaningful: "They are small and tender. ”

The mayor would never know that Tianhao had already ordered that dragons were strictly forbidden to eat special "food".

He was terrified.

Because of language problems, Penghui needed an intermediary who could communicate with the POWs.

But there is one thing he is not lying———— compared to other headhunter commanders, Peng Hui is indeed a person who does things in a measured way and knows how to take matters seriously.

……

The town of Ep was captured.

The fighting here is uneventful, and there isn't much killing. So much so that when Commander Dinghua led the army into the town, he didn't even feel the slightest sense of battle.

Yes, not so much a fight, but a logical reception.

Surrounded by guards, Dinghua walked into the council hall and saw Rajesh standing there with a smile on his face and bowing to him.

The balding bar owner is richer than ever, but he doesn't lose as much ferocity as he should be, but he doesn't feel good in the face of a giant leader who is too much taller than him. However, for the sake of the other party's calm attitude, Rajesh bent his waist even lower.

As early as two years ago, the town of Ep became Rajesh's territory.

With the financial support of the Elpsel Trading House and the help of the slave traders, Rajesh became a knight of a nobleman in the northern Saxon. To be honest, he was not interested in this title, but it was undeniable that being a knight did give Rajesh enough convenience to allow him to go on a rampage with his gang of unscrupulous bandit brothers and run "special trades" in various regions of the northern kingdom.

Mercenaries are an ancient institution that is also recognized by kingdoms and the Holy See. The "Templar Mercenary Regiment" grew from scratch, relying on Elizabeth and growing step by step. They initially had a wide range of operations. On the surface, the main business is armed escort, and by the way, it will also do some smuggling, human plunder, and even robbery.

The Saxon kingdom was large, and the core of the king's rule was located in the south. The north is vast and sparsely populated, especially in the border areas, where there are almost no prosperous cities? Does that mean that there is no oil and water for things like large-scale banditry and patrols? Neither the military nor the local regulatory authorities were willing to waste their efforts, so they gave the "Temple Mercenary Group", a semi-bandit group, enough room to survive.

However, neither King George nor the military representative, the Marquis of Brackbarne, did not think of it? The remote town of Ep has long been a hidden point of contact for the northern giants? These people, led by Rajesh, have long since turned away from the kingdom and have developed an extremely strong rebellion.

Dinghua sitting in a chair? Felt very satisfied.

The council chamber was tall and spacious, especially since the entrance height was about the height of his own residence in Rock City. And this chair that I sit on? Just right for your height? For those who have made a long journey from Kamui Fortress, it is indeed the best aid for rest.

And the tall buildings you see when you enter the town, with the low stature of a white man, it is obviously not so exaggerated. Under normal circumstances, the house they usually live in has shrunk by at least a third in terms of size and height? And even more.

All this is clearly the result of careful preparation.

In the Northern War, which just ended? A large number of young people with outstanding talents have emerged. Mainly officers, but more importantly, most of these people come from logistics units, as well as managerial personnel who accompany the various regiments to the battlefield but are not directly involved in the battle.

There is no shortage of warriors among the northern barbarians. Whether it is the Deer Clan, the Pig Clan, the Lion Clan, the Tiger Clan or other tribes that have been annexed by the Dragon Clan, "bravery" is an important embodiment of evaluating whether a man is recognized by society. However, what Tianhao did in Rock City changed the dragons? Especially the understanding of "talent" by the vast majority of people in the former Bull Clan's Thunderhorn Division.

Dinghua is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, he used to be a farmer? The coalition forces of the kingdom invaded and captured Suolong Pass, according to the urgent order issued by His Royal Highness the Regent? Dinghua was drafted into the army as a reserve and became a logistics baggage soldier. Because he was originally the head of ten people in the original village? After being recruited according to the regulations, he will automatically become the captain of his squad.

The dragon clan is extremely strict in the calculation and recognition of military exploits? Dinghua used to train in Rock City? He quickly embraced the ideas that the young regent had brought with him from the age of civilization, and then transformed them into a set of combined transportation laws that were considered extremely advanced by the barbarians on the battlefield. Because of this, he was promoted to the head of the hundreds, and then promoted to the "commander of Pingzhou" as the "head of the reserve thousand".

Neither the old maps nor the existing maps of the major kingdoms can find the place "Pingzhou". This is the result of changing the name of the real place according to Tianhao's request. Eptown is the white man's name and is strategically located close to the east coast. At present, the dragon clan needs to be stable, and the production of materials in all aspects is also steadily increasing, before the integration of the ethnic groups reaches the true sense of unification, Aipu Town will become an important logistics base for the southward plundering of the new First Legion, which is the "Pingzhou" specially marked by Tianhao on the new map.

"Tell me about the situation here!" Dinghua is desperate to know more.

After becoming a member of the private armed forces of the Elpso Comptoir, Rajesh felt that he was gaining new value in life.

As many as 50,000 "foreign residents" are gathered here. These people are very diverse, they are vagrants, unemployed, criminals and broken families from various cities. Elizabeth gave the town considerable financial support, and with an adequate and stable supply of food, Rajesh built a large engineering team based on these people and carried out a complete transformation on the spot.

The buildings that have been completed so far are all two-storey brick and concrete buildings, as well as the foundations of the enlarged façade of the town. The work has been going on for two years, and the progress of the work can be said to be extremely slow, but don't forget that this was still the territory of the Saxon king a few months ago, not to mention the special location of the town of Ep, which is a place for many gangsters and nobles to sell their stolen goods, and it is not easy for Rajesh to do this under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

In Dinghua's opinion, this is enough.

Dingzhou is currently only a vague regional name. He brought five thousand people this time, of which four thousand were subordinate to the logistics troops. The main force of the plundering army is still behind, as long as we ensure that there are no problems in the supply of materials and warehouses, accommodation, and defense in Dingzhou, that is, Aipu Town, the follow-up troops will continue to come. When the time comes, both personnel and materials will be sufficient, and this place will be built into a giant city in the true sense of the word.

Yes, a city, not a small town like Odwin.

There are two other similar forward logistics bases on the border between the Dragons and the Saxons. These strongholds will expand rapidly in the coming months, becoming a bridgehead for barbarians to attack the southern continent.

……

The Lord's Country, the capital, Fort Maivi.

King Rahman was a handsome middle-aged man. In this day and age, men who adhered to their teachings were not much different in aesthetic terms from civilized times. The beard is still an important symbol of status, identity and some special meanings. Thick beards tend to hide dirt and dirt, so if you want to be clean, you must take care of them every day. This is also one of Rahman's favorite things, it means that there are beautiful palace maids waiting in front of him, and more importantly, this kind of cleaning work is justified, even if the palace maids are scantily dressed, or even wear nothing, the queen can't say anything about it, at most she stares at the beautiful palace maids with eyes that spew angry flames, and she wants to grit her teeth.

The white marble floor is smooth and cool, and there is a pool on the side of the inner palace that connects it to the courtyard. There are many vines there, as well as a variety of valuable plants. In the center of the pool you can see sculptures of cranes and maidens, spewing water from their mouths and maintaining a permanent position.

The Marquis de Savedin, dressed in a light but luxurious white robe, sat cross-legged on a sumptuous cushion and slowly stirred the coffee in his cup with a delicate silver spoon.

The Duke of Abbas was a very fat man. Rather than wearing a large robe, he was covered by a large white cloth, and the parts below his neck were piled up to make him look like a mountain, and his eyes squeezed by fat were small, but the gaze released from the depths of his eyes was sharp.

"Looks like you're on the same page?" Rahman's eyes swept over the two kingdom nobles respectively, and he asked lightly.

The just-concluded Northern War seemed to him nothing short of a dream. Very scary, extremely distorted, complex in content, but with an unexpected ending.

The kingdom of the Lord and the Holy See are natural enemies. Although the deities they worship are very different from the name of the Lord, they have very different meanings. However, it was difficult for the gods to exert influence on worldly interests, and it was for this reason that King Rahman agreed to form a coalition of kingdoms and together waged war against the northern giants.

Duke Abbas nodded, and the fat on his neck kept shaking with his movements: "Yes." It's in the interest of the kingdom and, more importantly, we can get a strong ally. ”

"Allies?" Rahman frowned slightly, and his gaze subconsciously swept to the Marquis of Savidin who was sitting diagonally opposite: "It's not that I don't believe what you said before, but you have to understand that we have always been in a hostile relationship with the northern giants, and our relationship with each other is not even friendly, not even ordinary. ”

The Marquis sat on the cushion and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I once had a similar thought. It was the revered Giant King who made me change my mind. If it weren't for his kindness, I wouldn't be sitting here, and the soldiers who went with me into battle have now become slaves to the giants. ”

“…… I know. Rahman waved his hand sullenly: "Ever since you came back, you've been talking about it, chattering so much that my ears are almost calloused." I know that the Giant King is a good man, he is a true pacifist. But so what? Don't forget, they are giants, our worst enemies for a long time. ”

"Our enemy should be the Holy See." The Duke of Abbas disagreed. "Your Majesty, it has been revealed in the Gospels that all those who do not believe in the Lord are sinners and should be forced to convert by the sword. plundering their property, enslaving their wives and daughters, and occupying their land...... All this is the power given to us by the Lord. The pagan gods are the Lord, not the Lord. ”

Rahman looked at him with a smirk: "You seem to have forgotten that the northern giants are also infidels. They worship more deities and are more complex. And strictly speaking, they are not human at all, and even feed on our flesh and blood. ”

"Giants don't like human (harmonious) flesh." The Marquis of Savitin spoke quickly: "These legends are nonsense. When I was in the Dragon Pass, I saw with my own eyes that those giants dug pits and buried the white people who died in battle, and they did not have the bad habit of cannibalism. ”

Rahman was skeptical, but apparently his doubts were far more than believing: "The eyes don't necessarily see the real thing, maybe the giants are acting deliberately?" ”

Saviddin's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Duke Abbas, who was sitting next to him, raising his hand. A sleek smile appeared on the latter's chubby face, and his tone was more humble than before: "Your Majesty, your judgment is correct, you must be cautious at all times, especially the Northern Giants. The pagans are very fickle, and we have been dealing with the Holy See for many years, and there are constant wars with other kingdoms, and they always say one thing on the surface and do another behind the scenes. Especially in this war, the Holy See deceived us into sending troops, and almost caused us heavy losses. ”

King Rahman's face softened slightly, and there was still too much uncertainty in his heart: "You are also in favor of an alliance with the northern giants?" ”

Duke Abbas nodded slowly: "For now, this covenant is good for us. To the north, we can get strong allies. At least militarily, there is no need to worry about being attacked by giants, and even all the troops stationed on the northern border can be withdrawn and transferred to the south of the border. ”
