Chapter 545 Report

"Your Highness, the task of escorting the emigrants to Yungeshandra Province and the Chasseur Legion to help resettle the refugees in the Plains of Fallimound have been completed by February of the new year, and after a two-month rest, the two legions are ready to send troops again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info" Genorio took a folder and reported to Lorlist, who was in charge of all affairs of Bryn Hill during Lorlist's return to the family domain, and except for a few people, the news that Lorist had left Moldant City was unknown.

"Very well, how is Reddy doing with the Flying Tigers?" asked Lorlist. Since Tiger Ross announced that he was going to be promoted to Great Sword Master, he ran away without a trace, leaving a mess behind, Lorist had to send his eldest disciple Reddy to the Flying Tiger Legion to temporarily take over as the Legion Leader. Because Tiger Rose has a deep influence among the Flying Tiger Legion, there is really no other suitable person to take over the position of Legion Leader except Reddy.

"The senior brother did a good job in the Flying Tiger Legion, the three deputy legion commanders Mason, Dorres and Modraco are very cooperative, the order is forbidden, and the soldiers are also very obedient to the order......" It seems that Genolio must have been to the Flying Tiger Legion to observe.

Lorist nodded, "How's going on over there in the Freedom Alliance?"

"The Ruling Council thinks that our reminder is correct, and the Governor of Ledos has signed an order for the reorganization of the military system, reducing the city defense corps of the six fortress cities on the plain of Falcan to a city defense battalion of 3,000 men in each city, and expanding the remaining personnel into a regular field regiment of 45,000 men, with a light cavalry regiment of 10,000 people, and the commander of the corps is an old acquaintance of His Highness, El Lord's uncle, Brunan Garrilando, a golden one-star swordsman. ”

"Uh, why did Lao Jia come out to do things?" Lorist was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that if Ledos, the consul of the Free Alliance, wants to have a stable position, he must tightly control the main army of this newly formed alliance, and the reliable and trustworthy people around him are qualified to serve as the leader of this legion.

Although the names of the free alliance and the business alliance are different, in fact, the free alliance is no different from the business alliance twenty years ago, the same is business-oriented, but without the monopoly of those large chambers of commerce, it appears to be more free, a hundred flowers bloom, all competitors are still in the same stage, only after the test of the market storms, the winner will finally stand out, become the speaker of a certain industry, and gradually develop into a monopoly of the nature of the large chamber of commerce.

This is the result of the survival of the fittest that will inevitably occur in the development of the market economy, and Lorist does not want to prevent and stop it, but he knows very well the temperament of businessmen, most of whom are forgetting their righteousness for the sake of profit, and they are cramming when things come to the end. So last year he made a proposal to Ledos to fix the armed forces of the Liberty Alliance by enacting a law, so as to avoid the fate of disarmament and dismantling of the city defense forces in peacetime, as was the case with the commercial alliances of the past.

Lorist doesn't want his family armed to stay in Moldant City to become the protector of the Freedom Alliance, people are forgetful, don't look at the millions of residents of Moldant City now grateful to the Norton family forces, and when the situation calms down, the Norton family armed is easy to become the target of some people with intentions, after all, the concepts of the two are very different, the conqueror and the occupied are easy to have contradictions, and when there is a conflict, it is easy to shake the good impression and reputation of the Norton family in the hearts of the residents of the city of Moldon, so Lorist is thinking about withdrawing the army back to the family territory after the business alliance is completed, instead of always stationing troops in Molent City。

The businessman's temperament is to heal the scar and forget the pain, and Lorist does not want to have no external threat after his family's armed withdrawal, and the businessmen of the Freedom Alliance are likely to dislike too much military spending or something, and embark on the old road of the commercial alliance to disarm in the past. So Lorist asked the Ruling Council to fix the armed forces of the Freedom Alliance in the name of law. After all, the Norton family's territory is too far away from the Mana Hill Plain, and it will take two months to go back and forth even by sea, and the Freedom Alliance must have an armed force that can maintain its own security, even if it is defensive, it can delay for two or three months until the arrival of reinforcements.

Of course, Lorist's request for the Freedom Alliance to form a mobile main army is also for the sake of Ledos, and with the Norton family armed to stand up for Ledos, Ledos, as the first consul of the Free Alliance, is naturally mixed up. And after the Norton family evacuated, as long as Ledos could hold on to this main army, his position would still be unharmed.

"Yes, Your Highness. "Lord Ledos wanted to convince Lord El to leave our family and return to the Freedom Alliance to be the commander of the Legion, but Lord Elle refused his request, and later Lord Eldos himself went to persuade his aunt to let his uncle take the position of Legion's Commander. ”

Well, Lao Jia is a man who is afraid of his wife, and El knows this very well, and it will be no problem to convince Aunt Louise that Lao Jia. However, to Lorlist's displeasure, Ledos actually wanted to dig into the corner of his family and recruit El, but fortunately his plan failed.

"Anything else?" Lorist snorted dissatisfied.

Genorio nodded and turned to a new page in the folder: "Your Highness, the Grand Young Master of the Chiced Chamber of Commerce is here, he has been waiting in Morente City for nearly three months. At the end of last year, Lord Sambarwood, the Admiral of the North Sea Fleet, sent a letter to the territory of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce in accordance with your instructions, and shortly after the New Year, the Chikde Chamber of Commerce sent the Grand Master of Seliham with more than a dozen servants to arrive in Morente City on the merchant ships of the North Sea Fleet in a heavy snowstorm, and they have been waiting for your return until now. ”

"Oh......" It seems that the Chicke Chamber of Commerce has reacted positively to the proposal to separate from the business alliance and become an independent kingdom as he expected, and Lorist expressed satisfaction: "Has that Thriham been anxious in the past three months, what activities he has usually done?"

"Your Highness, I arranged for them to be in the villa at the foot of the mountain. Genorio replied, "According to the report of the guards, the young master of Seriham does not seem to be very anxious, nor does he do anything out of the ordinary, and has always been very peaceful. However, he was very interested in the current city of Moriente, and took people to the market every day. ”

"And then, what does he usually do in the market?" asked Lorlist.

"This ......" Jenorio hesitated a little: "Your Highness, I don't know what exactly I did, I need to ask Lord Targer about this, and he arranged for people to conduct a comprehensive monitoring of Lord Seliham and his party." However, I have heard from the guards who follow them that the Lord of Seriham is most interested not in the goods and goods that come from our family's domain, but in the various raw materials that come from the kingdom of Qilin Harbor. He took the trouble to inquire about the price and the place of origin, and behaved like a very sophisticated businessman. ”

"Alright, I'll ask Targer. Lorist said, "Send for Saleham to tell him that he will come to me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Genorio agreed: "Baron Camorra has sent a report from the port of its Lim, the plan to build it into a large market radiating to the southwest of the kingdom has been largely completed, and the Baron of Finston, the keeper of the port of Limlin, is very cooperative with our family's actions, he says that he is an old acquaintance of His Highness, and has always admired His Highness's plan to develop his Limn Harbor, and now he is finally looking forward to this day." Baron Camorra was a guest and responsive, and even took the initiative to entrust the task of expanding the city defense corps to our family. ”

"Baron Finston?" Lorist laughed, this is a nobleman who knows the times very well, he also treated himself in this way back then, and now it is Baron Camorra's turn: "Well, tell Baron Camorra that for such nobles who are willing to cooperate with our family, we might as well give them some lucrative deals, as long as it is not too much, we can turn a blind eye." By the way, didn't His Majesty say that he would send a corps to be stationed in his Limn Harbor?

"Your Highness, have you forgotten the report of Lord Tagar last time? His Majesty the King does not have so many troops in his hands, after three years of bloody battles in the Falcan Plain, His Majesty the King returned to the imperial capital to reorganize the kingdom's armed forces, in addition to the reorganized White Lion Legion deployed in Marivia Province, there is also a Royal Guard Corps stationed in the imperial capital.

The remaining forces were no longer enough to be reorganized into a full corps. His Majesty the King scattered them to various provinces, intending to use these horses as the pillar to form a corps in each province to maintain stability and order in these provinces, but the current situation is that many provinces are unable to support the formation of such a corps due to the impact of years of war, and His Majesty's national inspection is also focused on solving this problem.

Therefore, His Majesty the King ordered Qilingang to expand a city defense corps on his own, and prepared to send a group of royal knights to lead the city defense corps after he returned to the imperial capital after the formation of the city defense corps was completed. Therefore, Baron Finstone, the city guard of Harbor Forest, was very resistant to this expansion order, and he was very dissatisfied with the fact that he had paid for the formation of the city defense corps but did not have the command power, so he simply handed it over to our family. Baron Camorra saw this as a good opportunity to take control of the city defense corps of the port of Qilin. As for the royal knights sent by His Majesty the King in the future, they can be completely elevated......"

Lorist patted his forehead, he really forgot this report, two years ago, the alliance of nobles of the Andinac Kingdom led by His Second Highness was less than 300,000, of which only 1230,000 directly belonged to the kingdom's armed forces. I think that when the soldiers approached the Mana Hill Plain, the kingdom armed with nearly 300,000 troops under the command of the Second Highness, this is not counting the family armaments of those nobles. One can imagine how heavy the casualties of the three years of the Bloody Battle Kingdom in the Faliqiu Plain were......

"Baron Camorra is doing a great job, I am relieved that he is doing things. By the way, did he say anything about the difficulties?" asked Lorlist.

Genorio looked at the folder and said, "Your Highness, Baron Camorra said that our family's plan to build a large market in his forest port has been welcomed by many nobles of the kingdom's territory, and they have transported the products of the family domain to Qilin Port for sale, and at the same time, there are also chambers of commerce and merchants in Morent City who hire ships to go to Qilin Port to purchase. Judging from the current situation, the development prospects of the Lingang market are very optimistic.

However, what puzzled Baron Camorra was that the grain sales trade originally reached with His Majesty the King was inexplicably suspended, and it was said that this was the order of the Acting City Warden of the Imperial Capital, the Knight of Wickus, and now almost everyone knew that he was the illegitimate son of His Majesty and the successor of the kingdom favored by His Majesty, so his order was carried out to the letter. ”

"Hmm?" Lorist was also a little puzzled, the year before last, His Royal Highness Weifu came to Molent City privately, and after reaching an agreement with himself on the development and construction of his Limgang Harbor, he asked himself to think of a way to find a way for the kingdom's financial revenue that was on the verge of despair, and finally came up with an idea, that is, to entrust the grain produced by the kingdom to the Norton family and sell it in Moldant City. Last year's grain trade amounted to two million gold fords, so that the Second Highness could pay the salaries of civil and military officials and the kingdom's armed forces, and maintain the dignity of the royal family, while the Norton family only earned a transportation fee and a ten-percent handling fee.

"Baron Camorra sent a messenger to inquire about the Knights of Wickus, and the reply was that the Knights of California claimed that the reserves of grain were related to the safety of the kingdom, so they must be cautious and vigilant about the bulk grain trade, approve the sales targets of grain, and resolutely not let grain be used as a helping hand to fund the development of potential enemies...... Genorio continued.

"When the messenger returned, the Knight of Wickus also sent to Baron Camorra, and he said that the grain trade could continue, but it had to be traded in the port of Qilin, with half the amount of grain sold than last year, but the price was doubled. Baron Camorra refused his request, and the man sent by the Knights of Vanis threatened that if he did not comply with his request, the Knights of California would send the Royal Guards to the port of Qilin, and that Baron Camorra would have to trade if he did not want to, and the price would be increased......"

"What are you talking about? Is that Vicus knight holding shit in his head? Or is someone behind his back inciting this guy who doesn't know the height of the sky to come forward and scare us against the Norton family? Order the Camorra to suspend the grain trade with His Majesty the King, and we have a lot of grain in the Northlands. Shameless things!" Lorist was furious, it was obvious that someone was beating the idea of Qilin Harbor, and wanted to intervene sideways, and deliberately launched that stupid Waixian knight to take the lead.

Originally, the Second Highness wanted to borrow some money from the Norton family to spend it, and Lorist knew very well that if he borrowed this money, it would be a meat bun and a dog and never return, so he gave the financial route of supplying food to the Second Highness to the Second Highness, and now someone not only blocked the financial route of the Second Highness, but also wanted to fight the idea of Qilin Port. Hehe, Lorist sneered, he didn't mind looking at the excitement of the imperial capital, anyway, someone was going to be unlucky.

As for the knight of Vicus, Lorist didn't take it to heart, and His Second Highness had high hopes for this bastard, hoping to train him to be a suitable heir to the kingdom, so appointing him as the guardian of the imperial capital when he inspected the entire territory of the kingdom may have been in mind to exercise his abilities. However, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will be greatly disappointed, this Wickus knight will be so easily confused, and it seems that he is also a greedy and lustful person who has no concept of the overall situation and a clear mind. Lorist made up his mind, anyway, the next time he sees His Royal Highness, he might as well persuade him to work harder on the new queen to see if he can give birth to a qualified successor to the kingdom.

"Genorio, use the letter eagle to send everything that happened in his Lingang back to the family domain, and then let the family domain send a messenger to deliver the letter to His Majesty as soon as possible. At the same time, let Baron Camorra be prepared to take precautions, and if there is any movement on the imperial capital, he will immediately withdraw to the island of Hilowas, and the most important thing is to ensure his own safety. It's a pity that we have something to do here, otherwise I'd like to meet the Knights of Jersey......" Lorist said hatefully.

"Yes, Your Highness. Genorio replied, "Lord Schrader and Lord Tagar have arrived at the villa and are waiting for His Highness's summons. ”

"Let them all come in and help us prepare lunch. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”
