Chapter 282: Battle Recovery
The Beast Emperor's army retreated, but Thrall also left a letter for Arthur, the content of which was only known to Arthur, and even Gawain didn't know the content, but Arthur smiled disdainfully after reading the letter and tore it up casually.
The large army that belongs to him needs to help the nearby nobles regain the lost territory, and the third prince should be happy now, because most of the fleeing nobles here have been killed by the eldest prince, and this place has become a borderless land, and now it is difficult to reluctantly collect it for the royal family.
People have to eat food, and Arthur must also afford this part, although the third prince guaranteed the supplies of the army in the country, but after going out, there was no guarantee.
What to do? Many people are distressed.
Since I didn't have it, I had to plant it myself!
A group of soldiers who had never farmed, a group of valiant knights, and those commanders under Arthur, after Arthur's order, scattered and began to solve the food problem separately.
Spring planting and autumn harvest are a cycle of reciprocation, Arthur decided to delay for two months and then attack, but even then the crops were not ripe, and many people wondered why Arthur did a thankless job.
Only Arthur knows that food has always been the most important thing in the material, far more than others, they can eat the food of the kingdom, but if they lose land unreasonably in the future, there will be a short-term food deficit in the future, which is quite unfavorable to Arthur's plans for the next few steps.
After the separation of the troops, not all of them were talented in agriculture, so Arthur had to write a letter to the people in his territory and send some professionals over as soon as possible to solve the urgent need.
Istangal, Routine Military Meeting. It was the first meeting to be held a month after the end of the war.
"My lord, we are going crazy, we are warriors, how can we deign to do what only poor peasants do. ”
"Yes, my lord, people's hearts are very restless now, why don't we train every day to do these things?"
Arthur lay on the table, looking out the window boredly, and his ears were filled with the sound of restless people. "Can you let me say a few words!"
Arthur finally spoke after a long silence, and got up lightly from the table, his long golden hair shining faintly in the sun, still so handsome after not seeing him in many days.
"It's not that you don't know how many people and materials the kingdom has lost, although the kingdom has successively distributed farmers to this side, but you must know that a quarter of the kingdom's land has been abandoned, and millions of people in the kingdom have been wiped out by the army of the beast emperor, I say you won't understand this, right?"
Hearing this, everyone bowed their heads slightly, and their faces were a little ashamed.
Arthur's eyes were always out of the window, and when the snow turned into rain, it was ticking, and there was no one around except the garrison, and far outside the garrison there was a group of poor people who were working tirelessly to build houses.
The people who come here are poor people who are depressed by life and cannot survive, and even some criminals who have been reformed.
The dead cannot be resurrected, and women cannot keep making children all the time, after all, it is necessary to pardon a group of sinners and spare some poor people who are depressed by life and cannot breathe.
"Please remember what I said, the status of a nobleman cannot be food when there is no food, and it cannot give you any help in the most difficult times, it is only a mark of honor and family inheritance. ”
"The kingdom of Falin is worried about internal and external troubles, and no one is comfortable, but it is not comfortable, can it be eaten as food, can it be worn as clothes when you are cold? Obviously, it can't!"
Arthur paused, and turned his gaze back to the people in the room.
"I'm talking to you so much to let you understand the current situation, this is the first and last time, don't tell me how bitter you are, how unwilling you are, I don't want to hear it. ”
"People who don't like me to make decisions, leave now and write a report to me, and go back to the royal capital. Got it!"
Everyone made Arthur speechless, and Gawain on the side saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and explained.
"Arthur, don't be angry, aren't you doing a good job now?"
Arthur took a sip of tea. "You people, what do you say? My merit request has already been reported, and the rewards you have received are not low, so don't be distracted. ”
"Yes, my lord, do you have any other orders?" said one of the commanders.
Arthur shook his head slowly. "Rebuild, the Beast Emperor's attack this time has really delayed our time greatly. ”
Recently, Arthur has not been upset, since Artoria came back, she brought her own people and horses with the help of Lancelot, and forced the people of the two countries into pigs' heads, and never lost a battle, and recently I heard that there may be a big attack.
Since Merlin's captivity, the War Queens Alliance has stopped a lot, but Artoria is also the one who bears the king's orders, and will not give in so easily in the future.
The military meeting lasted from morning to afternoon, and Gawain poured Arthur a new cup of tea. "You shouldn't be angry with them. ”
There was a faint musty smell in the old buildings, and you could even see dust flying in the air from the light and shadow of the sunlight. The faint scent of tea, circulating in Arthur's nose, temporarily calmed his anxious mood.
"Every minute we stay, others move forward for a minute, didn't Sal leave a letter a few days ago?"
"Yes, you didn't tell me what the letter was about. ”
Arthur picked up the teacup and sniffed the fragrance of milk tea. "It says his warning, if I lead people to attack the Beast Emperor's headquarters, he will gather the strength of all the tribes to attack me, and use all means. ”
"You've probably heard of the Fireblade Clan, right? ”
Gawain was stunned when he heard these four words. Hasn't the Fire Blade Clan disappeared for many years?
Perhaps reading the meaning of Gawain's gaze, Arthur explained. "Gawain, you haven't fought me in a long time, have you?"
Gawain looked sideways at Arthur. "What's wrong? Do you have itchy hands, I'll accompany you..."
"I didn't mean that, I meant to tell you that I had learned the Wind Footwork and the Mirror Doppelganger. ”
Gawain suddenly stared at Arthur with wide eyes, he had never heard Arthur mention such a thing, besides, the speed of the wind has always been a lost skill, only the people of the Fireblade Clan would use it, how could Arthur have such a thing. What's more, this big clan has disappeared for a long, long time, how could Arthur learn that, is it...
"Storm Arin is a member of the Fireblade Clan. ”
"Where do you want to go, my father has nothing to do with that side. Arthur told Gawain about the cause and effect. "Actually, I've reached the Holy Rank now, but I don't know how many people know about this news. ”
Hey~ Gawain suddenly covered his forehead in pain, he was too stimulated today.
"Haha, my friend, I just like to see your reaction. In the future, the appearance of the fire blade and the appearance of the top powerhouses of the Beast Emperor in turn, I think it is better for you to go to Avalon to cultivate while you have nothing to do now. ”
