Chapter 218: Military Rations

Shortly after the decision was made that the goblins would join the empire, the inhabitants of towns and cities along the route from the northern frontier to the imperial capital were horrified to find a large army of green-skinned goblins passing by their doorstep.

Although the goblins had their eyes wandering around, and their faces were obscene, none of the goblins dared to leave the team without permission, and none of the goblins caused problems in everyone's lives, and they marched south in a neat line with loud, high-pitched slogans.

The appearance of this Goblin Legion has caused a shock to the entire Varu Empire, and they have subverted the people's understanding of the Goblin race. Since then, there have been those who have repeatedly said that goblins are the lowest race, thieves, robbers, and disorderly people, and have been unanimously despised by everyone.

Although these goblins had no armor on their bodies other than a small pants to cover their shame, and they only had a spear in their hands, their neat formation was enough to prove that they were a good legion.

Of course, the neat queue was forced out under the strict training of the goblin legion summoned by the Arena of the Gods, and as for the high-spirited momentum, this is thanks to Leo saying that he would take them to other countries to plunder happily, so now these goblins are looking forward to this day one by one, and those villages and towns along the way are not in their eyes at all.

But these others don't know, from Wieland in Silverstone City to the branches of the Ministry of Supervision in major cities along the way, countless secret letters almost tired the intelligence censors of the Ministry of Supervision vomited blood, and the content of all the secret letters was the same: a goblin legion was found in the empire was advancing towards the imperial capital.

If this is a human legion, then there is no doubt that there is no military order to leave the defense area and go to the imperial capital without permission, and it is the rhythm of rebellion. But what is the matter with a Goblin Legion? Haven't the Goblins just been annexed to the Empire? Their staffing, provisions, and garrisoning problems have not yet been resolved? How could such an Legion appear?

Fortunately, the intelligence officers of the Ministry of Supervision in some towns along the way found Caraxiu, which was completely different from ordinary goblins, and only then did they ask the truth, it turned out that they had been arranged by Baron Leo to go to the imperial capital.

Receiving this news, Duke Solo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, laughing that the patriarch of Nathaniel was still anxious for Leo, and what was the result?

The Ministers of State and the Chancellor of the Exchequer got together to discuss the implications of Leo's move.

Since Marquis Leo boasted that he didn't need to use a single soldier of the empire to go to Haikou, then our Ministry of Finance would definitely not allocate a single copper coin to him, even if Marquis Leo was willing to pay out of his own pocket, he would not be able to fill the 10,000 mouths. After saying that, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Marquis of Picker, smiled contemptuously, and did not take Leo in his eyes at all. The Marquis of Picker, who has been dealing with numbers for a long time, can easily calculate the food consumed by 10,000 soldiers, and even if Leo has gold and silver, he will be eaten up.

"I don't think so, that Marquis Leo said that he didn't need a single soldier of the Empire, it was obvious that he was relying on this Goblin Legion to fight, he would definitely have corresponding plans, don't forget, he has His Majesty the Emperor's backing behind him!" the Foreign Minister frowned, obviously regarding Leo as a big trouble.

"There are some things that even His Majesty the Emperor may not be able to do. The Marquis of Pickel smiled sinister and said: "This year's budget is already very tight, I can't raise such a huge amount of military salaries, and I don't think the empire will be able to raise so much military rations for a while." If Leo wants to take that Goblin Legion to battle, let them go to Lorraine hungry!"

"Yes, we don't give them rations, those goblins are so hungry that they might just stew Marquis Leo on the way!" said the Minister of State, clapping his palms and laughing loudly.

Several ministers clearly thought that they could handle Leo, and the delicate wine glasses were raised high in the hands of the ministers, and the fine porcelain wine glasses from Leo's territory made a crisp sound in a burst of impact, and the ministers wantonly celebrated that the arrogant Marquis Leo would soon be trampled under everyone's feet.

Leo, on the other hand, didn't care about the small tricks behind those ministers at all, and he didn't even think about taking anything from the Empire. The noble ministers in high up didn't bother to know about the goblin clan at all, they didn't know that goblins were probably the best species to feed on the continent, their recipes ranged from the dragon Beamon to the roots of trees and weeds, which could only be put in their mouths, and they were never picky eaters.

In the barren and bitter cold wasteland, the population size of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands can be developed, and the survival ability of goblins is stronger than that of weeds. The green grass on the ground, the wild fruits hanging on the trees, and the cute hares and wild deer that are not afraid of people, compared to the Badlands Wasteland, the territory of the Varu Empire is simply a paradise, and the goblins don't have to worry about eating at all. As for the issue of military salaries, Leo led the Goblin Legion to loot, and the military salary or anything didn't need the empire to issue a copper coin at all.

What the ministers thought was a problem, Leo didn't feel at all. After joining up with the Goblin Legion, he headed south.

Since leaving the Imperial Capital, intelligence officers at the Ministry of Supervision have discovered that they have lost track of the Goblin Legion. The green-skinned goblins are completely integrated into the environment of lofty mountains and dense forests, and with human eyesight and hearing perception, it is impossible to track the movements of goblins.

A few days later, Leo and his legions of goblins re-emerged from the forest, and instead of taking a detour through the mountains and mountains, they reached the perimeter of Rien City earlier than expected.

Among the mountains and jungles that I passed along the way, I was plagued by goblins. Whether it is birds and beasts, or insects, grass mustard, everything that can be eaten has been filled into their belly by the Goblin Legion, and what they can't eat is strung on their spears, or tied around their waists with hemp ropes, and even the goblins, who are good at driving desert monitor lizards, have also found some jungle monitor lizards and used them to help drag those large prey as military rations.
