Racial discrimination cannot be eliminated, if it comes to marriage, the commoners are absolutely uneasy, no one wants to marry their daughter to an ogre or goblin, which is no different from marrying a daughter to a pig, but Downton has to rely on the natives, which invisibly increases the weight of those rumors.

"See, this is the method of the nobles, war is all-encompassing, if you can't fight, you will win!"

Homer took the opportunity to educate Downton.

"Eliminate the gas first!"

Celes placed the coffee cup in front of Downton.

"What's the situation, finish!"

Downton took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

"The dukes of the east and south have sent troops into the west, and at the same time promised that wherever they go, as long as the commoners give up resistance, they will do nothing in the autumn, and the tax will be reduced for three years!"

As soon as Jackson finished speaking, the cup grazed his head, and the hot coffee spilled on his face, although it was very hot, but he did not dare to wipe it, and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Master, spare your life!"

Jackson wailed, in fact, he knew that if Downton had to clean himself up, the cup would never be smashed, and his face was full of flowers.

"You can't tell the priorities, the two dukes have sent troops to invade the western border, what are you talking about with me?"

Downton's anger is also a direct expression of the bad situation, to be honest, he is just a civilian teenager, although he has read the books that Elaine brought back, but after all, he has not received an elite education, so he is really a little exhausted to deal with this kind of crisis.

Celes stood beside Downton, looking at his worried brow and hating his own incompetence.

"What are you doing in a daze? Go and call the black hand to me, do you know if you have a combat meeting?"

Downton propped his elbows on his desk, burying his head deep in his hands.

"You look like that. Not to mention the great loss of majesty, it will also make the subordinates lose confidence. ”

Looking at Jackson as he departed, Homer reminded Downton.

"What should I do?"

There was exhaustion in Downton's voice, which was distressing.

"You should tell us 'what am I going to do?' instead ask me what to do?" Homer still decided not to help, this frustration. It is the ladder that makes Downton mature as much as possible.

The Black Hand and his party soon arrived at the mayor's office, and after hearing the news of the invasion of the two dukes, the joy of the great victory the day before yesterday immediately disappeared.

Until noon, everyone didn't think of a solution, there was no way, there were too few troops in the west, and Downton couldn't deploy it on all fronts.

Even if the forces are dispersed and the focus is on a few major towns, then the gap in the number of troops that already exists will be infinitely widened. When the time comes, it will definitely be the end of each break.

"No, we must concentrate our forces, otherwise we will definitely be defeated. ”

Su Ya grabbed her hair irritably, unable to do anything.

"The Duke of the North must be scared, why don't we withdraw our troops first and deal with those two dukes?"

Jackson mentions yì.

"You're stupid, as soon as we leave, the Northern Army will definitely make a comeback. When the time comes, even these deep spaces will be lost, just waiting to be besieged, right?"

Black hands disdain.

"Do you want to go back to the main city? Fight with the three dukes?"

Bhatti built yì.

"It's impossible, when the time comes, people don't have to storm us, and we will be besieged for months, and we will be defeated without a fight, and besides, what is their purpose? We went back to the main city, and the people just grabbed the land without any worries. ”

The black hand shook his head, compared to others, he had the highest military literacy.

"Isn't that right, let their tripartite forces fight you to the death first. Jackson finished. I found that everyone else was looking at him with idiot eyes, "Am I wrong again?"

"What if the three dukes reach an agreement and divide the western border equally?" Abagon walked in, his face solemn, "Master, I just received a report that there has been a panic buying rush in the large and medium-sized cities of the entire western border, and by tomorrow, it should affect the villages and towns. ”

"Can prices be forcibly stabilized?"

Downton pinched his eyebrows and didn't look at anyone.

"No, to stabilize prices, we need strong force as a backing, we have a pitiful number of security forces left behind, and once civilians make a fuss, and then they are instigated by people with intentions, it is very likely that there will be riots, leading to chaos in the west. ”

Abagon didn't say a word, those vigilantes were all humans, and they had been bought by other dukes, even if Downton ordered it, I am afraid it would not be able to carry it out.

"How many days can our supplies last?"

The price turmoil means that Downton's logistics will also have problems, and if there is no food, even if the natives in the hills don't care, their combat effectiveness will decline sharply.

"A month!"

Abagon was quite confident, "If you save a little money, you can hold on for a month and a half!"

"Yes, three times more than I expected!"

Downton smiled, he thought it would be good to last a week, he didn't know, this was still an arrangement made by Abagon with a keen sense of smell and in advance.

"We can also publish rumors to slander those three dukes, and exempt them from taxes, after all, in the past year, the lives of the people of the Westland have indeed improved!"

Arnold clenched his fists, and the green veins on him burst out, he was furious, why did Downton bring a stable and prosperous life to the people of the Westlands, but they didn't know anything in return?

"It's useless, the general trend is the same, the three dukes and the king are all attacking the master, changing the three-year-old child, and they also know that the master will be defeated, why do they still have to wade into this troubled water?"

Abagon sighed, the soldier suffered a defeat, not to mention that he died, and even his family had to be a slave, it was far better to surrender directly and enjoy the tax exemption policy given by the duke.

"So we're finished?"

Jackson was dumbfounded, especially when he found that the owner, who had always held the wisdom bead in his hands, was silent this time, and he suddenly had something wrong.

"You all go out, let me be quiet!"

Downton didn't look up, and Arnold was about to say more, but was pulled by Su Ya.

"Downton......" Celes was interrupted by Downton before she could finish speaking, "You can go out too!"

This kind of information can't be concealed at all, and the spies in the Western Frontier Army have been spreading early in the morning, so the atmosphere in Aoki Town is solemn. Especially the human corps, their faces were as frightened as earth, and deserters began to appear.

Arnold personally patrolled, and if he caught anything, he was hanged directly and dropped at the entrance of the town to show the public. However, it still could not stop the deserters, but only increased the atmosphere of panic.

Frankfurt is a third-rate country in the north, so it did not attract the attention of the second-rate powers such as Rhine and Xueman, and only those neighboring countries paid enough attention to it, ready to see if there was an invasion, and took the opportunity to expand the territory, but after getting the information, the loss of Yishui seemed to them. Downton is bound to die, and the only uncertainty is who will get the biggest piece of the pie from the West.

Scattered adventurers and mercenary groups known as war dogs have also begun to gather here, hoping to make a fortune in the war.

"What are you doing with this kind of information? Wait until that stinky boy wins, and then sue me!"

In the glorious palace, Maximilian II didn't even look at it, and directly threw away the information provided by the secret agent.

"But Her Royal Highness ...... Princess"

The spy was depressed, how could Downton win the war? If His Majesty doesn't interfere, then he will definitely die.

"Hmph. If you can't solve even this little trouble, what qualifications do you have to pursue my daughter?" The second was furious, and directly smashed the cup made of the Heavenly Star Stone, "Let my baby Sissi be injured, I didn't trouble him, it's good to destroy Frankfurt." Let me help, daydream about it!"

The agent didn't dare to say any more, and bowed down.

Under the clear blue sky, a convoy was running fast, this was the mage group gathered by Andrea, followed by a mercenary group. It is a peripheral force cultivated by the Guise family to do some dirty work.

"Stop, Priest, the head of the house told you to return immediately, and don't get involved in Frankfurt!"

Several cavalry cavalry caught up with the convoy and told Andrea about the orders of the head of the house.

"Why?"

Andrea was puzzled.

"The Duke of the Three Realms sent troops at the same time, Downton will definitely be defeated, and there is no need to get involved in this war. ”

The cavalry captain handed over the letter.

"Why does my father think that Downton's chess piece will die? That guy can do a miracle. ”

Despite saying this, Andrea actually didn't believe it herself, she wanted to save him, it was just for Elaine, and it was more pleasing to look at him by the way.

"You're still so emotional, that's why you've been squeezed out of the battle for the heir!" a female mage sighed as she stepped out of the carriage.

"He's my student's brother, are you going to let me watch him die, and how am I going to face the student in the future?" Andrea dissatisfied, "You get out of the way." ”

The cavalry didn't move, they brought not only orders from the head of the house, but also handwritten instructions, which could be forcibly brought back to Andrea.

"I'll say it again, get out of the way!"

Enraged, Andrea gripped the staff, and a halo began to form, a sign that the magic was ready to activate.

"Forget it, don't make it difficult for them, let the convoy go back, I'll go with you to save that Downton!" the female mage stopped Andrea, "In this current situation, Downton has no chance to turn the tables, and it is really unwise to let the family fall into this kind of quagmire." ”

With the status of the Gies family, as long as they speak, everyone else is in a hurry to serve allegiance, and there is no need to hang themselves on the tree of Downton and lose troops.

"Let's go!"

Andrea indignantly ordered the coachman, there was no way, the head of the family gave an order, and these subordinates would never disobey the order.

"What do you think he's going to do?"

Watching Downton throw out all the magic books and lock himself in the mayor's room for a whole day, the cheap god asked quietly.

"How do I know? I'm not a roundworm in his stomach?"

Homer was irritable.

"Can you give him an idea?"

Cheap god teases.

"I think so, although I have recorded more than millions of wars, I am not a god of war?" Homer can find many similar examples, but most of them ended up in the annihilation of the whole army, and the generals who won the battle also relied on the favor of Lady Luck.

"Hey!"

The cheap god sighed, not to mention the god of war, it is a famous general, and most of them are famous by heaven, otherwise everyone goes to read the history of war and the art of war, wouldn't they all be military gods?

This time, Downton is really in a big crisis! (To be continued......
