(Thanks to Mu Mu x101 for the monthly pass, as well as the two classmates of the research-level metamorphosis Wang and Xi Yuchen!)

"Are the rebels still massing in the south of the territory?"

After the two women left, Donald asked William and other officials for an update on the war. (Full text e-book free download)

"Yes, my lord!"

William, who was in charge of the government affairs and people's livelihood in the territory, first reported:

"It's good for you to come back, the rebels are blocked on the southern transportation arteries like this, which has greatly affected the commercial activities of our territory, but fortunately, there are alchemy airships that can travel to and from various places, and the food reserves in the territory are also very rich, but there is no crisis of food shortage!"

"Have the families of the soldiers been compensated?"

Jesse, who had just been teleported back from Dragonhorn and was in charge of the territory's finances, replied:

"According to the rules set by the adults, the family of each soldier and soldier will receive a pension of ten gold soles, three years of tax exemption, and members of the family of appropriate age will have the opportunity to directly participate in the selection of the mage tower entry apprentice, the grassroots officials of the territory and the regular army!"

Donald nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and asked again:

"Are all the outsiders arranged?"

In his previous life, Donald admired the kind of humanitarian relief operations seen in the movie, which is rarely seen in indifferent people, so Donald drafted the decree related to the territory at the beginning, and the territory will allocate some financial resources to assist the foreign population in the situation of refugees, political asylum seekers, etc.

This will not only gain a good reputation for Dalaran, but it is also likely to play an unexpected role in the future when there are conflicts and disputes with other countries and regions. (Full text e-book free download)

To which William replied:

"According to the lord's decree, all inns and taverns in the territory were open as usual during the war, and the food supply was increased, and some merchants and civilians who could not afford to rent inns were also arranged by the lord's mansion and lived in the vacant houses in the territory, and three meals were provided normally!"

"That's good, no matter how difficult the times, we must put people first, even if we are refugees, we are also guests to Dalaran, and a bite of food must be given to them! But except for the nobles and professionals, the treatment of others should not be too exaggerated, just keep the basic food to be provided. As long as there is a contribution to Dalaran, the territory will be rewarded accordingly! We want to let the guests feel the enthusiasm and strength of Dalaran, and let them understand how rich and free the people living in Dalaran are!"

At this time, Barn, the commander of the militia garrison, asked a question and said:

"My lord, we have captured thousands of enemy soldiers in this battle, what should we do with these people?"

The number of the militia garrison and the reservists has reached more than three hundred, which is the result of Donald's action to suppress it. There are also many young people who have enthusiastically signed up to join, for the good food and salary of the garrison members, and for the excellent soldiers selected by the garrison every year to join the regular army of the territory.

However, Donald did not intend to be a soldier for all the people, and now the official population of Dalaran was less than two thousand, and the number of regular soldiers was already more than a quarter of the total population, although he didn't care that it was a very large military expenditure for other nobles, but the young people joined the army for the generous welfare, so who would cultivate the farmland in the territory?

Therefore, Donald ordered the officers to be strictly selected for the enlistment assessment, and they must be young people with excellent physical fitness to join the army.

However, he obviously underestimated the excellence of these young people in the territory, many young people from mountain people have been running and jumping in the mountains since they were children, always ready to inherit the mantle of their fathers and become an excellent mountain hunter.

Therefore, the number of troops in Dalaran is obviously full at present.

In this regard, Donald also formulated a solution according to the situation, that is, the military age system of the previous life was implemented, and the members of the militia garrison can be assessed for up to five consecutive years, and there is an assessment every year, and if they do not meet the basic militia standards, they will be brushed down, and they will be sent home together with those militiamen who have been discharged, but those who have been brushed will not have severance pay!

The assessment of the regular army is more rigorous, and it is also a five-year rotation, but it is allowed to continue to stay in the army, and there is no restriction on officers above the squad leader, but ordinary soldiers cannot exceed two rounds, and if there are special circumstances, they can apply to the superior for evaluation.

This decision has curbed the sharp increase in the number of troops in a timely manner, and it is estimated that after this year's assessment begins, it will be able to brush down a group of lazy and regressive soldiers, and then select even better talents.

This private army of 1,000 nobles came at the right time for Dalaran, who lacked a population, especially a relatively good population like the regular army.

"William and Barn, you work hard, interrogate and investigate these captives, and the best of them can be exempted from the status of captives and absorbed into the territory, and the rest will be sent back to their respective hometowns. You don't have to be strong, you can stay as much as you want, I just want to be elite! When the war is over, and those who stay still have families at home, I will send someone to escort them to Dalaran!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After William and Barn received the order, Donald secretly said in his heart, with the addition of such a group of outstanding troops, it seems that the difficulty of the next territorial army assessment will be increased again!

Then he commanded Uther and the others:

"Uther, George, and Bush, the three of you will lead the regular army to prepare for the war, and when I have dealt with the few matters at hand, I will officially settle those sentences!"

The three generals of the territory all received the order in unison.

After regrouping, there are still about 3,000 rebels in the North County, and for Donald it is just a problem that can be solved with a wave of his hand, he didn't take it to heart, and this time it is still just for training!

Soon, Dalaran dispatched five hundred warriors, this time all of them were cultivated by the territory itself, without the help of the elves of the Druid tribe.

The sound of artillery really started for the first time in the land of North County, and the 3,000 rebels who lacked high-level combat effectiveness had long since lost much resistance because of the differences between the leaders, and as soon as the attack effect of the mortar squad appeared, more than 30% of the rebel soldiers immediately scattered and fled, and more than 50% chose to surrender immediately.

There were less than 600 people still resisting, and when the War Puppet Legion of the Mage Tower reappeared, the morale of the remaining 600 people completely collapsed.

With the support of the militia garrison in the rear, Dalaran once again routed the tall rebel army of 3,000 people, captured more than 1,500 enemy soldiers, and directly killed less than 300 enemies.

And this time, under the supervision of Donald's manpower, all the wounded soldiers were treated according to the different injuries as soon as possible, and truly achieved a victory with zero mortality!

However, Donald was not proud of this, without him, because these two actual combat opponents were too weak in his opinion, and the training of the Dalaran soldiers was relatively limited, and only through countless high-intensity war training, these soldiers could become as powerful as the elite main forces under the royal families!
