Chapter 135: News

Ever since Hurricane Castle was recaptured by Marquis of Mesfield, it has been only passively defensive.

The Hurricane Fort was reinforcing its defensive line while gathering the rout. While the walls are cleared, the order in the city is rectified.

The Marquis of Mesfield ordered the four walls to be re-strengthened and armed, in an attempt to stabilize the situation and change the disadvantages of the war.

However, the army of the Kingdom of Eternal Winter did not accept this, and they did not hesitate to cross the Hurricane Fortress, surround it without fighting, loot goods and people everywhere, slaughter the nobles and riches, and plunder all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.

It is rumored that the looted goods of the Eternal Winter Kingdom were transported back to the country by horse-drawn carts, stretching for dozens of miles.

All this made the nobles who got the news in the capital of King Augustos very dissatisfied with this inaction of the Marquis of Mesfil.

It is believed that the Marquis of Mesfil has been overseeing the war for several months, causing the noble lords to be brutally murdered by the enemy army, and the people being ruthlessly driven from the territory, resulting in a large number of refugees in the kingdom.

The nobles impeached the king one after another, demanding that the Marquis of Mesfield be removed from his title and military position, and that he be returned to the royal capital for accountability.

The king refused on the grounds that the change of commander was unknown, which made countless people secretly regret it.

Many civilians speculated about this, whether the nobles were really concerned about the war in the Northland and the fate of the kingdom, or was it a political conspiracy against the Mesfil family, who had always been strong in most of the kingdom's army?

All this, simple and vague, makes people unknown.

At the end of September, under pressure, Hurricane Castle began to operate, and Commander Mesfield gathered his army and the army of the Kingdom of Eternal Winter to fight a legion war in the northern wilderness.

There are more than 10,000 people in Hurricane Fort, known as 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the army of the Eternal Winter Kingdom is 7,000, known as 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the two sides have been fighting back and forth for more than half a month, and it is rumored that the land has been stained red with blood.

But as for the specific situation of the battle, no one can say clearly, anyway, there are rumors everywhere in Manhill City, there are people who say this, there are also people who say that, and there are people who are chaotic and charming.

Some people say that in this battle, the kingdom sent the Velociraptor Knights and the Griffon Knights to defeat the invading army of the Eternal Winter Kingdom.

It is also said that several Bimon War Behemoths appeared on the side of the Eternal Winter Kingdom and re-breached the Hurricane Fort, and even General Mesfil was captured.

Hearing this news, many people exclaimed, could it be that the orc clan and the Eternal Winter Kingdom are colluding together?

Yuri told Donner about these things, and Donner listened quietly, and at the end he just smiled and said, "This is none of our business, the adults of our own kingdom worry about it, we just sell our glass." ”

In the final analysis, Downer expressed sympathy and silence for the civilians who were affected by the war, but on the other hand, the war between the two countries did not seem to be a bad thing for the future development of the Liberation Corps.

The mainland is chaotic, so that we can take advantage of the chaos to rise!

On the occasion of this great chaos, I believe that in the coming days, the Holy Light Continent will become more and more exciting.

And the only thing that Donner can't bear is probably those ordinary civilians who go with the flow.

"It's a pity for those refugees!" Yuri couldn't help but shake his head and sigh at this time.

Donner was silent for a moment, and said, "Okay, let's not discuss this for now, it's getting late, let's have dinner first, and then rest early! ”

Everyone nodded.

The next day, Cordo arrived early in the morning, and Donner was a little surprised.

It's just dawn!

I have to say that Ke Duo, in addition to being timid, cunning, and snobbish as low-level civilians should have, on the other hand, is really a hard-working person, and Donner has to praise this.

"My lord, I'm here, do you have any orders for the little ones?" asked Cordo when he saw Donner.

Donner was already ready, and handed over the paper: "According to the above, help me buy these goods back, the sooner the better, I will use them immediately." ”

Ke Duo looked at it, and it was written wood, paint, cloth, saws, axes and other tools and some necessary furniture, all marked with numbers, so that people could see at a glance.

Wood and the like were basically used to decorate shops, and the artisan slaves had no tools to buy them.

Ke Duo pinched the paper, not knowing what it was, although he was curious, he didn't ask, he just smiled humbly and replied, "Okay, my lord, I'll go immediately." ”

After saying that, he left in a hurry, for Ke Duo, time is money, and money is life.

Donner shook his head, and Jason walked out and asked, "Who's that?" ”

"Kodo. ”

"Oh, it's him!" Jason knew what Cordo was here for.

"Hmm!" Downer hummed and turned back, "By the way, the voyager who sailed around the world has not heard anything yet?"

"No! There has been no news of that man since he was brought into the Marquis Lister's mansion by the captain of the knights of the City Lord's Mansion. Jason shook his head, "For that, a lot of people in the city are talking. ”

"Well," said Donner, after a moment's thought, "according to the plan, let our men disguise themselves and scatter around Manhill City to find out the news." ”

"Not only the news of Ggerlon, but also some of the things discussed in Manhil City, all kinds of gossip in the royal capital, and the war situation in the Northlands, these news can be collected secretly, and then handed over to me every day, I want to know about it. Downer said.

"Yes, Captain!" replied Jason.

"One more thing, find a few beast carts, you can transport some glass back first, put it in the warehouse, and when the shop opens, you can sell it immediately. Downer continued, "When you bring it back to the city, remember to cover it up so as not to cause unnecessary sensation. ”

"Understood!"

Over the next few days, the shop began to be renovated.

Ten craftsmen worked together according to the simple drawings drawn by Donner.

The drawings of Donner's paintings, though rudimentary, are not immediately understandable by these craftsmen, and this is not a matter of the mind, but the limitations of insight and knowledge.

After all, the style of drawings that Donner painted was something they had never seen before, so Donner had to patiently explain and ask if they didn't understand.

Although the craftsmen were reduced to slaves, their craftsmanship was not bad, and in order to perform well in front of their new masters, these people secretly competed with each other, and used all their skills to show their housekeeping skills.

The renovation was progressing faster and faster, and Donner was also happy, so in the days when he was fine, without explanation, he forcibly pulled the craftsmen's children and Diana together and taught them to read and write.

The craftsmen had no objections, and they did not dare to have objections, knowing that their lives belonged to their masters, and they had to obey what Donner wanted to do.

What's more, the master is teaching his children to read and write? This is a great thing! You know, on the mainland, when will the master let the children of slaves read and write?
