I don't know what Aine has let him do in the past, but whether he is a descendant of the family or a subordinate of the emperor's ** department, Lias has to go there.

She had old Gray arrange the carriage, and took Lucia and Cam with her before it was too late, and the two girls in the carriage guessed to each other what the purpose of the trip was.

Lucia thinks it must have something to do with Lias's ability to train recruits this time.

"You think, Lias, you have obtained the right to train new soldiers, and in the future, you will train them to be your subordinates, I have checked that Commander Ain has maintained his original army in recent years, and there is no way to get a new army. Lucia was not idle during this time, and she tried her best to understand all the people she had seen in the imperial capital.

With her natural beauty, many people in the military department are willing to tell her everything they know.

In exchange for a favor that doesn't exist.

Alas, every time Wang Chu saw this kind of scene, he sighed secretly, people, how many people died in illusions.

From what he saw and heard in the military department during this time and the two girls often talked about it, Wang Chu also learned about the military rank system of the Asta Empire, the empire bestows military ranks is only the first step, and many descendants of princes or nobles who rule places may be awarded military ranks, but there is no real power, and if you really want to obtain military power, unless you recruit and raise soldiers yourself, or you can only wait for wartime arrangements or the training of recruits.

The latter two are arranged by the empire, and if you don't want to, you can only recruit and raise troops yourself.

But this is not easy to say, recruiting and raising soldiers costs money, and there are future expenses, now that there is no war in peacetime, all this money has to be paid by yourself. After seeing the thriving commerce of the imperial capital, Wang Chucai felt that even a big city like Hajar City, which represented a region, was far away.

The eastern cities are said to be rich, but how rich can they be.

It was this method that the Asta Empire relied on to limit the power of the local princes.

As the carriage stopped, Old Gray told the two inside that it had arrived.

In the evening, the time flies quickly, and this part of the road is enough for the sun to go down.

It was the turn of day and night, and only the last rays of sunset were left on the horizon, and the surroundings had become dark, and the Lucifergus manor was lit up everywhere.

"It's General Lias who has arrived!"

Seeing the carriage coming, the guards at the door rushed forward, just in time to see Lias getting out of the carriage. Immediately showed a smiling face.

"Is Uncle Aine at home?" because it was in her own family, and Lias's name was still uncle.

"The commander is already waiting for the general at home. As he busily settled the carriage, he guided Lias to his home.

Now that old Gray is also rising, after becoming the butler of the general's family, he does not need to go to the place of his subordinates to eat, and the old wide gray robe he often wears has also become a new gorgeous dress.

He was followed by the other soldiers and arranged to be eaten by the other family members.

It's still outside the courtyard, and the weather in the imperial capital has been hot lately, and even in the residence of the military headquarters, Lias likes to eat in a spacious place.

"Lias, I'm glad you came. Seeing Lias coming, Ain greeted her directly.

"Long time no see, Uncle Ain. ”

Ain took Rias's hand and walked over.

Standing on his shoulder, Wang Chu realized that the people here were not the eldest son Henry, that is, Lias's cousin was missing.

"Didn't General Henry come?" said Lucia, who seemed to notice that the other party was not here.

But Ain didn't answer immediately, but took the two of them to sit down first.

Directly opposite is Novai and her other two underage brothers, Wang Chu always feels that Novai's eyes have been looking at him since he came over, and sometimes it is troublesome to have the sensitive vision of animals, no matter whose eyes stay on him, he will feel it.

She is still wearing a pale pink corset, with a leather cord tied around her waist and a waist, which may not be leather in hot weather, but this kind of outfit can show off her graceful figure.

"What the hell is going on? Uncle Ain. After sitting down, Lias asked urgently, and the other party had not answered her question immediately, and instinctively felt that something must have happened.

"Henry was requisitioned by the Empire to the south. ”

"South, why so suddenly. Lias said in surprise.

The Asta Empire is vast, connecting the desert countries in the west, the most human kingdoms in the east, and only a few small principalities in the south, which is also considered to be a relatively rich place.

Aine glanced at the two of them, and Wang Chu felt that there was a worry in his eyes.

"I hope it's just that the empire is too worried, recently the border area has found a large number of demon tribes gathering in the wilderness, the border guards have reported the matter to the military department, the magician association and the king of the Rhine decided to secretly send a few troops to take a look, Henry is among them. ”

What he said was a secret, so Aine didn't make a big deal about it, and the people who sat down again were all Lucy Figgs's family, so he opened his mouth.

"Earth demons, aren't those tribes all scattered by the emperor? "Lias was also born in orthodox education, and in the history of the empire, the southern demons were once exterminated by the empire and other small principalities around it.

That victory in the war against the aliens is immortalized, and to this day Rias remembers the horrific numbers of annihilating her enemies.

Aine shook her head.

"Listen, Lias...... These things may not be preached, but they do exist, the southern border is different from the west, because the west is a desert and the empire has vassal countries in the desert, unless someone can unify the desert, otherwise they will only fight with each other, and will not affect the empire, but the south is different, those are foreign races, whether they are barbarians or earth demons, or other races, they covet the land and resources occupied by humans all the time, and they will make a comeback whenever they have the opportunity......"

"And the strongest of the border countries is the Asta Empire, as long as there is a disturbance, the empire will send troops as soon as possible. ”

Ain recounted the whole thing.

But since he said so, the purpose of calling Lias here today may not be too simple.

Wang Chu pondered, and at this time, dinner had already been served.

Because of the situation last time, this time I prepared myself the same as ordinary people, all the meat plus vegetables.
