General Anne is walking with her just abducted more than a hundred rabble on the edge of the territory of the city of Cagliad, which can actually be regarded as Negan's territory, because after the collapse of the kingdom of Erathia and the sudden death of the king, Negan's hell lords have de facto occupied this place and begun an extremely bloody slavery rule over the people of Erathia, if a certain former princess, that is, Queen Catherine, returns a few months later, it is estimated that this place will be deepened by Negan's rule, and when the time comes, I'm afraid there aren't many people left alive.

Although Anne's strength is now 'greatly increased', the voices in her ranks are not very harmonious, isn't it? Some guys have just been 'hired' not long ago, and they have the face to ask her, a wizard who is not a boss at all, at most a company manager, to ask for a salary advance?

So, of course, she taught a lesson to some unshaven crusader who had no helmet.

"Money?"

=???????? (?????? *)

"What money? Don't talk about money with others, they don't have any money themselves! People tell you, it's your honor to contribute to the Elasia continent and feed the Erathia Kingdom to fight, you should feel honored, you should be proud, you should use love to generate electricity, what kind of money to talk about, how vulgar is that?! ”

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

（…… ）

(lll￢?? ￢)

"Anyway, people don't have money, if you want money, you can go to that Catherine sister yourself in the future! It's the spicy queen, the princess of your Erathia, she has money! ”

o(｀^??) o Hmph!

What are you kidding, these guys are actually asking her for money, Queen Anne, where did she get the money? You know, even she herself is a part-time worker, even she only advanced two and a half days' salary, and the rest is still owed, who does she have to reason with?

'Your Excellency! ’

'But according to the tradition of the kingdom of Erathia in the past, military salaries were paid before preparing for battle......

The unlucky crusader leader with a scruffy beard must not understand what he could do with love, but he only knew that the horses had to eat grass, and they had to eat, and they had to feed themselves and their families who did not know whether they were dead or not in the war-torn environment...... So, if they can, they still hope that this adult can give them a few gold coins each, so that they can have a little money in their pockets, and then they can have a little confidence in their hearts when they fight, right?

"What tradition? Erathia is gone, where are there any traditions now, and now everything is done according to the new rules!! ”

s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ

"In short, the objection is invalid! The money is owed first, and then you go to the queen Catherine to get it!" Before that, whoever dares to say half a word, who dares to complain about the strike, people don't care about burning or burying!! ”

?? (ψ???? ╭╮ˇ????)????

‘！！ ’

'This, this ......'

'Alas~! Head, don't talk about it, let's do it first! ’

'Come back!' ’

'How can this be?' ’

‘……’

Although he was very reluctant, a certain crusader leader who represented the out-and-out soldiers was honestly dragged back by his men under the magic 'persuasion' of an arrogant and domineering little girl.

'Report, report! ’

'Wizard! In front of me, I found a magic temple hidden in the forest, not far from here, and there seemed to be a few monks and monks in it! ’

Soon, a pikeman ran back from the front, and the other party said excitedly to their little commander.

"Temple of Magic? And the monks in it? ”

(??????.??????)????????

"Then they must have something to eat, you hurry up and knock on the door, let them join us unconditionally!" And their supplies, also unconditionally expropriated, in the name of the Kingdom of Erathia! ”

?? (????????)??

After half a day of tossing, Anne already knew that leading troops is not just as simple as fighting and marching, especially this kind of troublesome living army, because they have to eat, drink and Lazar! So, under all kinds of super troublesome things, her mind is now full of just thinking about expanding the army and finding something to feed these hateful guys!

Therefore, now that she has discovered a magic hall, she doesn't even think about it, so she directly starts the matter of pulling Zhuang Ding and collecting grain.

'Wizard! ’

'Is that a sacred temple of magic, or might it be better for you to go there yourself?' ’

To put it bluntly, the soldiers of Erathia, who were more afraid of magic, would not dare to go over and knock on the door and give an order that would be denied, let alone ask the monks or the monks inside to join them unconditionally.

"Really, someone's house is there, what are you afraid of?"

s(?? ｀ヘ????; )ゞ

Anne had no choice but to pat her horse and let the other party lead the way, and led her dog-legged soldiers around a dense forest, and then found a large house hidden in the dense forest.

Having stepped into the rather well-groomed courtyard, Anne rolled over and dismounted, and slammed the door of the house, which was indeed emitting a little magical energy, and which had only a separate hall.

"Open the door!"

(??????????)?????? Boom! Boom!

‘？？ ’

'Who are you?!' ’

There was a vigilant voice and a pair of frightened eyes peeking out of the observation hole in the door.

Obviously, for this small magical temple, especially in this chaotic environment of ruin, surrounded by a group of rebels, even if they are the kind of monks and monks who can do magic, there is always a little worry.

"Her name is Annie, and she's an arcane archmage!"

o(??????????) o??

"The ones in the back are other people's soldiers, we are all from the Kingdom of Erathia, and now we are under the orders of Queen Catherine, sweeping and investigating this area, you come out quickly, and they are now announcing: you and this temple of yours have been unconditionally requisitioned, come with us to fight those Negans!!"

?? (?????? ~????) o

The door didn't even open, and Anne unceremoniously said something that would offend or anger the other.

‘……’

'Sorry! ’

'It doesn't matter who you are, or whether you are the army of Erathia or not, you are not welcome in our sacred temple, so go, don't force us to do anything!' ’

Boom!

Coldly, the observation hole in the door was slammed shut, and then a cold voice came from inside.

No one would have believed that a little girl could be an arcane archmage, and no one would have believed that a group of ragged soldiers could have been ordered by some queen of the kingdom of Erathia, as some little girl had said, so the reaction of the monks in the Magic Sanctuary was a matter of course.

“？？”

(??????.??????)????????

"Don't let people in?!"

=?????? =???????? (??????????????)

"Someone! Knock this door open for me, people want to see how they dare to do it!! ”

?? (ψ｀╭╮′)??

‘！！ ’

'My lord, isn't that right?' ’

"People are here to support you, what are you afraid of?!"

?? (ψ｀╭╮′)????

‘……’

'Yes!! ’

Soon, under the command and surveillance of a certain bad little girl and the threat of force, a group of soldiers dressed like wolves and tigers, who seemed to be very good at doing these things, broke down the door and rushed in.

'What are you doing?' ’

'No!! ’

'Less nonsense! Get them! ’

'Whoever dares to resist, shoot and kill!!' ’

'You ......'

‘……’

There was a cacophony of noises, and as the soldiers poured in, the noise soon ceased.

"Bring out all the people and things inside!"

?? (ψ｀▽′)o

Soon, the excited soldiers pulled out two down-and-out monks and a large pile of food and a magic book that had been forcibly ripped from a position and had even the cover torn off.

?? Bite~!

?? You've acquired 'Imperial Thaumaturgy', which allows you to spend a certain amount of mana to allow you and your troops to fly over obstacles or cliffs.

?? Note: The more troops you have, the farther away you are, and the more mana you consume.

"Monk?"

(??????)？

"You're a High Priest, aren't you? Very well, it is now announced that you and your companions have been unconditionally recruited by the armies of the Holy Kingdom of Erathia! Follow us to fight the enemy and quell the chaos in this land! ”

ψ(?? ｀▽′)????

"You!"

"Humph!!"

"Don't go! We need to look after this sacred temple of magic, and we don't ....... anywhere."

??

Sou~!

Rumble!!!

Before the monk could finish his words, he saw the terrible little girl throw a fireball into his almost empty magic hall with a fire blast, and then, in the courtyard, they could only watch as his magic temple, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, burst into flames with the sound of an explosion......

"That's it!"

(???????? -)??

"Now that your magic hall is gone, can we leave now?"

ψ(?? ｀▽′)????

Squinting, Anne looked at a certain high-level priest who was still being held by the soldiers and did not dare to resist, her meaning was actually obvious, if the other party dared to say half a word next, she must be burned and buried!

“……”

"No, no problem......"

"Honorable Witch, we are willing to follow you and fight under the banner of the griffons of the sacred kingdom of Erathia......"

A good magic temple is said to be blown up, what can you do if you don't give in?

For the two monks in front of them who could only control the flying thaumaturgy and the first-level magic arrows, what could they do to such a terrifying little witch who also claimed to be an archmage and those wolf-like soldiers?

"Don't worry!"

(灬??) ω?? 灬)

"When we get rid of those Negans, our Elasia Kingdom will definitely be here to help you rebuild a bigger and higher magic temple!!"

?? (?? ˙︶˙??)??

Anyway, she didn't have to do it herself, and she didn't spend her own money, so Anne once again unceremoniously wrote empty invoices.

‘！！ ’

'Y-Are you sure?!' ’

As soon as Anne's words came out, these two monks, who were originally because their homes were destroyed, things were robbed, and they were also pulled into strong men, still looked a little reluctant and dared to speak out, and those two pairs of originally sad and indignant eyes finally had a little light.

"Of course!"

o(*?? ︶?? *)o

"Anyway, when the time comes, you just have to find that Queen Catherine, who is still your queen daughter of King Griffin! By the way, and your double salary, just remember it now, and when the time comes, you can just go to her and get the money! ”

(??????????) Hey!

Anyway, it's not her own money, anyway, you don't have to clean up the mess by yourself, so little Anne didn't hesitate to give a dozen promises and empty checks, after all, this Erathia is not her family, and when she earns enough commissions, she will run away, and when the time comes, how should Catherine clean up the mess left behind, will she care?

（…… ）

ε=(???? '●))) Alas

'Report!' ’

No sooner had she recruited two monks who knew a little magic, had them begged to join her team with snot and tears, and had donated all their possessions for free, and before Anne could figure out where to go next, another pikeman who had been sent out to investigate the situation ran up to her again, panting.

"What's wrong again?"

∑(?? △｀)？！

'Report to the Witch! ’

'To the west, only two or three miles from here, there's a lumberyard with a number of Erathian lumberjacks, but they seem to be being guarded by a group of devilish monsters from Negan who ordered them to cut wood? ’

'Wizard, do we need to rescue them?' ’

The visitor said excitedly, but he was a little strange, wondering why the stone building in the courtyard behind everyone that looked like a magic temple suddenly ignited such a terrible fire?

'Deliver them?' What are the benefits? ’

(???? ω????)

Anne was there to scout and lecture the Negans, so she wasn't too interested in rescuing the trapped lumberyard workers or anything.

'Uh......'

'Lord Witch, at least we can get them to stop providing wood for Negan, and we can also free the workers, that's our job, isn't it?' ’

Wood is still an important strategic resource for the people of this era, because whether it is to build houses, equipment, weapons, bows and arrows, etc., they are inseparable from those things, and that is the main reason why the helllords of Negan send those demons to defend those places.

"Okay!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and lead the way, let's go and defeat those villains now! Grab their stuff and then let those lumberjacks join our team!! ”

?? *???? (ˊ?? ˋ*)???? *??

Negan's forces from hell must be attacked, but at the same time, her own power must also be expanded, so it is only natural that Anne will be under the influence of those lumberjacks.

As for whether the lumberjacks were willing or not, she didn't care about it at all!

You know, she is now fighting for the sacred Elasia Kingdom, working hard for the orders of Queen Catherine, and even more so for the restoration of the sacred Erathia continent, so those NPCs should be a little more conscious and join her in this sacred cause unconditionally!

Of course, not only the people of Erathia, but also any non-human creature living in this land who can fight! And she's convinced that her diplomacy (magic) is enough to convince them of the inhuman creatures! If not, it must be because they belong to Negan's side, and when the time comes, she can just beat and burn them to death and snatch them.
