Chapter Seventy-One: The Monster Governor
In the middle of the night, the Earl's Court was still brightly lit, the ghost maids huddled in the corners whispering, the patrolling jack-o'-lanterns appeared and disappeared in the courtyard of the flower garden, and the soft sound of gargoyles flapping their wings echoed in the air.
On the semi-circular white balcony, Yalei was dressed in a dark blue knight's uniform, his hands supporting the guardrail, and his short hair was slightly raised back by the night wind.
It was a night without stars and moons, and the sky and the earth in the darkness were no longer separated from each other, and his figure seemed to melt into the darkness at this moment.
"Pulit will live on the second floor in the future, which will make it easier for you to communicate with him. With the pleasant voice of the green sheep, Charlene pushed open the sliding door of the balcony and walked to the guardrail.
"Thank you, Charlene. He turned his head and looked at the green-haired girl intently.
"Are you worried about the Highlands?" she folded her hands over the guardrail, and glanced up at the dark night sky.
"Sort of. Aree stared at the green hair dancing in the wind, and said slowly, "I'm thinking about how to unite the forces of the entire southern Celts and form an army to crusade against the Highland Kingdom. ”
"No...... Charlene looked at him in surprise, "His Majesty the Emperor just wanted you to isolate the pressure of the Highland Kingdom from the Atrium, and didn't let you attack it." ”
"Fool. The black-haired knight couldn't help but reach out and touch her silky hair, and said with a smile, "Everything has to be considered for the worst to avoid the worst from happening." ”
"Hmph!" the green-haired girl turned her face unconvinced.
"Bell, bell, bell!" Nicole said as she burst into the balcony with the sound of a food truck, holding two cups of hot milk in her hand, as she leaned side by side on the guardrail. A wicked smile appeared on his face:
"What are you two doing hiding on the balcony? Isn't the posture right?"
"Ahem!"
Yalei and Charlene held their chests and closed their eyes at the same time. His face was full of pain.
"Okay, okay, don't make this expression, I know that your love is very pure, pure to the extent of holding hands, tsk, it's really a shame that you can bear it. ”
Nicole handed a glass of hot milk to the green-haired girl, pressed her back against the balcony, and a sweet memory hung on her face:
"Clarke, that guy didn't hold out for even three months. It's done by Miss Ben.,Don't look at him usually so wooden.,It's very interesting at a critical time.。 ”
"You always irritate them so much, do you find it funny?"
Bruno held two cups of tea, followed him into the balcony, handed one of them to the black-haired knight, and mocked: "Or, like women who have entered menopause, they always like to show their inexplicable superiority?"
"This is a meeting place for mature men and women, and there is no single Wang who has the right to speak. Nicole raised an eyebrow. glanced at him contemptuously:
"Let's wait until you find a boyfriend. ”
"Poof!" the three of them had just drunk the liquid in their mouths, squirting out a parabola.
"You!" the silver-haired young man's beautiful face turned red, and green tendons burst out on his forehead. The slender body trembled violently with anger, and squeezed a few syllables out of its thin lips:
"Duel! I'm going to duel you. ”
"Let's talk about the duel later. Yalei hurriedly pressed his friend's shoulder and glared at the female man fiercely: "Nicole, if you bully Bruno like this again, you will be asked to garrison the Great Wall in the future." ”
"Well, Lord Governor, I was wrong...... "The female knight said in an instant, obediently.
"Governor ......"
The black-haired knight tilted his head and poured down the tea like a wine, his face showing a little helplessness.
That's right, he is now the Governor, and his full name is the Celtic Provisional Governor and Commander of the Garrison, which he presented when Pullet arrived here.
The population of the district is 60,000, and the economy of the jurisdiction is almost two billion soles, of which more than half of which are contributed by Glamorgan. Although he was nominally the commander of the corps, he only had one Hadrian's Wall garrison under his command, and it was directly under the Central Army, and the number of troops he could really control was zero.
If you only rely on such an empty shell governor and a bare-pole army leader to fight against the increasingly powerful highland kingdom with a population of tens of millions, the difficulty is definitely hell.
"I always feel that this governor is too rash......" Charlene said with the porcelain cup to her lips.
"His Majesty the Emperor just wants Yalei to drag on time here, the main energy of the entire empire is focused on industrial reform, the Iron Curtain is laid down externally, and the internal exploitation is brutal, I always feel ......" Bruno said and sighed, swallowing the following words stiffly.
"I don't care, Yalei hurriedly used the governor's authority to make me a big official, let's talk about it first. "There's no pressure on Nicole, anyway, it's just fighting, and if you can't fight, you can withdraw.
"Don't be so pessimistic, in fact, we still have a good chance. Seeing that they were so depressed, Yalei could only forcibly hypnotize himself to boost his morale:
"According to the average ratio of warriors, there should be 2,000 warriors in the 60,000 population of Celts, who can serve as our military strength. In addition, there are many monsters in the entire Celtic region, no less than a million, if you can integrate their forces and train them into an auxiliary legion, then it should not be too difficult to fight against the Highland Kingdom. ”
"Where does the military money come from?" asked Charlene sickly.
"You can sell forests, pastures, minerals, and even ports. ”
"Even if you can solve the military spending, but what about the equipment?" Bruno shook his head, still full of pessimism.
"Ask the military department first, if you don't want it, you can buy it, if it's not enough, we'll make it ourselves, doesn't Amber want to do a weapons business, I can pay him to build a military factory here!"
"How are you going to train the monster auxiliaries?" Nicole asked casually, stretching her waist.
"Do you remember the lions in the strongest cooking show?" Arei smiled confidently, "In front of me, there is no difference between monsters and beasts, and they are very easy to train. ”
"yes...... Your power of fear can indeed create an army of demons!"
The green-haired girl's eyes lit up, and she suddenly closed her palms and shouted excitedly: "No wonder the emperor is relieved that you are stationed in the entire Celtic region, because only you can quickly integrate the true power of this land-the monsters." ”
"This is also where my confidence lies in the counterattack on the Highland Palace. Yalei nodded and continued, "I have already obtained the information of the Celtic region monsters from Pritt, and it only takes a little time to integrate them!"
"If that's ......" Nicole suddenly pointed at the black-haired knight and laughed, "This position of Celtic governor and legion commander is not the title of the administrator, but the management of the monsters, the monster governor...... Hahahaha!" (To be continued......)
