"Father!Why!??Why did you give the 1w gold to that inexplicable fellow!?Without that money, what would I use to recruit people, and what would I use to buy equipment!?" The Duke's Mansion this morning was noisy when it woke up early in the morning, and the few servants and guards in the palace pricked up their ears, not wanting to miss the good show.

"You're getting little and younger, Althea, what do I have to explain to you?" the Duke looked at his daughter with displeasure, and could see that he was very unhappy with her yelling and unaristocratic behavior.

"But!" said Althea, "but without this money, when will the Night's Watch be able to recover their numbers......

"You are too far-sighted Althea, of course I give him the money because he can bring me more returns! Give you this 1w gold, you will only spend this 1w gold, and give him this 1w gold, he can return 2w, 3w or even more!"

"But, what if he loses it?"

"He can't afford it. The duke affirmed: "From the moment I saw the perfume, I knew he couldn't pay ......."

..................

Since the establishment of the night watch, because the dukedom is not as good as a day, Althea has only received a total of 50,000 or 60,000 gold to invest in this army, more than half of this fund is used to pay the soldiers, and the rest is to buy equipment, which is why the night watchmen are in rags, at the peak of more than 3,000 night watchmen, and the equipment money is only more than 20,000 less than 30,000, plus the iron and leather goods and other items here are purely imported, can only be slaughtered by merchants, Althea's 2w gold also bought three or four thousand gold outside, so there are many people in the night watch who don't even have leather armor, just a dagger and a spear made of wooden sticks。

Althea left the Duke's Palace depressed, she didn't dare to spill with her father, she could only come to the barracks depressed as usual, ready to train with the soldiers, as the commander of the night watch, Althea does not need much force, but she has become accustomed to spending training time with the soldiers, every morning, Althea and her night watchwoman soldiers are a beautiful scenery, but today, Althea has been standing here for a while, but found that no one came.

"What's going on?" Althea muttered confusedly, collectively lazy?

At this time, a member of the garrison passing by here gave her a puzzle.

"Miss, the night watchman was ordered to build a factory in the east yesterday, what's the matter?

As soon as Althea heard this, she was stunned, her night watchman was used as a coolie to build a factory?

The little body began to tremble, and anyone could see her overflowing anger, and after a long time, Althea gritted her teeth and spat out a name: "Shi!

..................

"I want you to give me an explanation!" Zhang Li, who goes by the pseudonym Stephen Zhang, was sitting in Hogan's library studying at this time, with his little sister, and then Althea broke in angrily and questioned him loudly.

"Explain what?" Zhang Li felt inexplicable.

"They're warriors!Their job is to defend the territory!And you're making them builders!?"

"Oh, that's it, I didn't let them do it, it was obviously the duke's order. ”

"I don't care! The Night's Watch will never be a coolie for you! We have a lot of work to do! I'm going to take them now!"

Seeing that Althea was so unreasonable, Zhang Li waved his hand very indifferently: "That's good, as long as you can give me enough money to recruit craftsmen, you can take those people wherever you like, okay?"

"This ...... Where am I going to find all this money?"

"You also said that you don't have any money, so you don't need those night watchmen to use anyone? You have just experienced a great defeat, and now is the period of cultivation, to put it mildly, it is a period of cultivation, and if it is ugly, it is a period of eating and waiting for death, at this time, you have nothing to do except you, the commander, to find something for yourself, what other serious things do you have to do?" Zhang Li said contemptuously.

"So you can go now, or I'll react to the Duke, who might beat you up if he knows you're in the way of me building a factory. ”

Speaking of the little fart, the little senior sister next to him, who was watching this scene with a cute face, moved her ass uneasily.

"......" Althea began to gather her anger again, looking like a character from a fighting game was charging up on the spot, and sure enough, she finally began to amplify her moves.

A woman's exclusive magic skill, the art of sprinkling tricks!

"I don't care! I must take them today! There are still many tasks in the territory that need us!"

"Ahh ”

"Five hundred! Not one less!"

"A hundred people, love to do it or not. ”

..................

In the end, Zhang Li compromised and released a hundred night watchmen to carry out the mission with Althea, and Zhang Li also followed them, because he was going to investigate the limestone content of the nearby mountains, as well as some other problems, so he asked Althea to carry out the mission there first, which was also the maximum use of these manpower.

"Whew~~~!"

"It's close. Hearing this wolf howl, Althea was shocked, and immediately signaled her subordinates behind her to move forward carefully.

Reducing the number of wild wolves near the cemetery is what they are currently doing.

Due to the recent increase in the number of people reacting, the wolf howls around them have become frequent and intensive, which has frightened many people, so they asked someone from above to deal with the problem.

Then Althea arrived, and all she could do was help the garrison before the Night's Watch returned to subvert it.

However, this commander obviously has no experience in dealing with wild wolves, which have a very strong sense of smell and very sensitive ears, and no matter how careful you are, their alertness will not be effective.

The best way to deal with wolves is to set up traps or other traps, but Zhang Li is not ready to tell her that he is now absorbing the magical knowledge he has just had.

The results were unsurprising.

"Damn! let them run!" Althea said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Li pursed his lips and thought: Yes, you stupid don't even have a plan to disperse the bag, so it's strange that people don't run away.

"Let's keep chasing!"

"Wait!" It wasn't Zhang Li who was stopping her, he didn't bother to speak, it was the captain of the Night's Watch.

"There's a person there, or some kind of creature that looks like a person. He frowned and looked into the distance of the glade, where the wolf had howled, but his human eyes couldn't see it very well.

Zhang Li directly used the Eagle Eye Technique.

"Night Elves?"

..................

"Uh-huh~~~" The eyelids are heavy, the body is also heavy, and the consciousness is obviously clear, but the body keeps calling.

This situation is commonly known as ghost pressing, which is a symptom of sleep paralysis, I believe many people have had similar experiences, you are obviously very awake, and even hear the movement around you, but you can't move.

Now, there is an elf girl here who is tired and paralyzed and causes the symptoms of "ghost press bed", and she keeps babbling and moaning in her mouth, as if she is in pain.

"Gotta wake up, gotta wake up!" she was terrified, not because she couldn't control her body, but because if she didn't wake up in time, there was a good chance she would tear the monsters apart.

"Relax, it's safe here......" Then suddenly, she heard such a voice from the side, it was human language, she had communicated with humans in the sea and mountains half a month ago, and then immediately after, a familiar force began to inject into her body, and at this moment she finally relaxed.

That's a force of nature.
