The current situation in Harrens City is a mess at all, due to the continuous exploitation of Keith some time ago, most of the handicraft industry and duan shops in the city have faced bankruptcy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But fortunately, Keith is not stupid, he did not hurt the roots, as long as the foundation is still there, he can still recover slowly.

The biggest headache for Gray is the villages and towns in the north of Harrens' territory, the people in that area will face famine in the next six months, you know, there are nearly 50,000 people in this land.

However, there was also good news, on the night Gray occupied the city of Harrens, he confiscated a lot of property in the homes of those nobles who had been secretly executed, and converted them into gold coins, which should have been nearly ten thousand.

A part of this money can be used to relieve the group of people in the north of the territory, so that they can survive this half-year difficult period, and at the same time, a part of the money can be loaned to those bankrupt citizens in the city, so that they can resume production and shops and taverns reopen.

Earl Lockton has replied that he will come to Harrence City in person in a few days, and as for helping Keith attack the Covinde Territory, as Gray expected, he also readily agreed, and the specific matters need to wait for him to come to Harrence City.

The Earl of Lockton also said that Miss Nessa would also come.

At the same time, there is also an envoy from the Grand Duke de Rooney, who is ostensibly here to mediate the dispute between the two families, but what he is actually here for, Gray can't guess.

Gray didn't live in the castle of the Lord of Harrens, he just let the army be stationed here temporarily, after all, he didn't have the power now, and the place where he lived now was the official residence of the former Lord of Harlans.

In the study of the Prime Minister's official residence, Gray and Keith sat facing each other on the sofa, two cups of coffee on the small table in the middle, steaming a little hot.

"Where is Sir Resistant now?"

Nevin Lockton, the half-brother of the Earl of Lockton and a key figure in the war, Gray must capture this man and hand him over to the Earl of Lockton.

Keith shook his head: "I really don't know this, after I took over Harrence City, he disappeared! However, he should not be dead, according to the traces of the scene where he lived, someone should have picked him up, and he left voluntarily." ”

"Are you sure?"

Keith thought about it carefully, "I'm sure, if you think about it, his greatest use now is to threaten Earl Lockton, shake his rule, and rob his people, and it should also be for this purpose, if he dies, Earl Lockton will be happier." ”

There is another thought that Keith has not spoken, and that is: it is also possible that the Earl of Lockton did it!

Gray wasn't stupid, he could think of both possibilities, he was just testing Keys.

"That's right!" As if he suddenly remembered something, Keith put down the cup in his hand and said slowly, "There is also a magician with Sir Newyn, named Baal, who seems to be the chief magic advisor of the Earl of Lockton!"

"Are you sure?"

When Gray heard this, the smile on his face was gone, and his eyes were fixed on Keith.

Keith was surprised by Gray's reaction, a magician, could he use this? He thought about it for a moment, and replied, "I have a good memory, I can't be wrong, it's called Barr, a thin old man." ”

Gray hurriedly asked, "Do you have any news of him now?"

"What? this person is important?" Case's eyes flashed.

Gray was stunned for a moment, then said coldly, "Snort!" and said coldly: "Viscount Keys, put away your little cleverness, the danger of this person is beyond your imagination." ”

Then, Gray told Keith about Baal's situation, and the more Keith listened, the more shocked he became, he didn't expect that the hundreds of years of goblin turmoil in the Red Rain Forest were actually the ghost of this guy.

Gray's left index finger tapped lightly on the edge of the table, and he looked at Keith with both eyes and said, "If he leaves this land, I won't have to care about him, and I won't be able to take care of him, but if he is still in this land, I will definitely find a way to get rid of him, or God knows if he will make some other dangerous incident." ”

"He has a magic tower near the Red Rain Forest in Harlan's territory, but I don't know if he's still in it!" After Keith understood the danger of this man, he knew that he couldn't use him as a bargaining chip, so he readily told Gray what he knew.

When Gray saw the other party say the answer, he withdrew his gaze, leaned back, frowned, and stared at the ceiling, "Goddess bless, I hope he's still here!"

Keith didn't care about anything now, he only cared about when Gray would send troops to help him attack the Covinde Territory, after all, the more time there is, the more difficult it will be to attack Covinde City.

This time is the best fighter, if the other party does not receive the news from this side now, wave away, you will definitely receive unexpected results.

Keith said the purpose of looking for Gray: "Baron Cage, I have fulfilled my promise, and you should also fulfill your promise!"

"You should know my difficulties, this is all the mess you left behind, I am more anxious than you!"

Gray was also helpless, he knew that now was the best fighter, but he simply did not have enough strength to attack Covinde City.

Keith took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Baron Cage, please forgive me for being rude, I mean to say that we may be able to capture Covinde City without too many troops!"

"What do you mean?"

"Don't we still have a group of knights under the command of the captured Covind?" there are so many knights, there are always people who are willing to do things for us!"

Gray's eyes lit up, he was too busy with a series of trivial matters in Harrence City in the past two days to think about this problem seriously, Keith saw that Gray was still moved, and hurriedly said: "Those lords in the north of Harrence have nothing now, and they all have to rely on your relief to feed, why don't you recruit their young men to join the army, in this way, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

What Keith said kills two birds with one stone, meaning that it is better to let them join the army anyway.

Gray really didn't think of it.

Case continued: "For civilians who don't even have enough to eat, joining the army will be their best way out!"

Hearing this, Gray leaned forward slightly, touched his chin with his right hand, thought for a moment and shouted to the door, "Someone!"

"Lord Baron!"

A guard at the door walked into the study, Hamp had a half-moon vacation, and these guards at the door were Gray's personal guards.

Gray instructed the guards, "Go and get Knight Rena and Ser Rand." ”

Keith knew that it was half done, and the joy on his face flashed.

After a while, the two walked into the study.

When the two of them were seated, Gray couldn't wait to ask, "Sir Rand, there should be quite a few weapons in Harrence City, right?"

"The weapons and equipment that can be used are enough to equip the three light infantry brigades and the two archer brigades, and the cavalry equipment is a little shabby, and it can't be used for the time being!"

Sir Rand glanced at Keith, and thought about it, he didn't give the exact number of equipment, but gave such a simple and clear answer.

"Issue a lord's order to recruit young adults from the north of the territory to join the army! Temporarily recruit three infantry brigades and one archer brigade!"

Gray immediately ordered at Sir Rand, and Keith's eyes lit up next to him.

Sir Rand looked at Keith's reaction and knew that it must be his attention, and he was obliged to remind Gray: "Lord Baron, I have to remind you that Lord Earl is on his way here now!"

As Gray's chief advisor, he was reminding Gray that he was not yet the lord of Harrence City.

"Do as I say, Lord Earl, and I'll explain!" Gray's tone sank.

When Sir Rand heard this, he stopped talking nonsense, and immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, Lord Baron!"
