"Settle the mother and daughter, find something to eat, and temporarily block the news that I have arrived" Dismounting from the barracks, the fat man instructed the guards behind him, and Hu Keqili trotted over from the opposite side, "Your Majesty, we have prepared a comfortable rest camp tent for you" "You should know that situation!" The fat man gave him a stern look on his face, and handed the reins of the war horse in his hand to the guards,

"The subordinates don't understand" Hu Keqili was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head nervously, with beads of sweat on his forehead

"Don't play dumb with me, the route to the north was arranged by you, and the road was also walked by your Central Army, with your meticulousness, how could you not be aware of it!" The fat man pursed his lips disdainfully, and said with burning eyes, "First let me see a long barren area, and then let me pass through the barren city from late at night when I know that there are refugee activities, are you fooling me?"

"The subordinates can swear by their military honor, and the situation does know some, but last night's situation was definitely an accident!" Hu Keqi pounced, half-knelt in front of the fat man, gritted his teeth and patted his chest to promise, and said with an oath, "No matter how bold the subordinates are, they will never dare to let His Majesty enter the dangerous place late at night" "Let's talk about it, how many refugees are there in the entire north?"

The fat man's grim face slowed down slightly, and he said heavily, "Anyway, this journey has also touched me a lot, the destruction of this land by the war has exceeded previous expectations, and even threatened the original intention of the empire to occupy here, the empire needs a bridgehead that can expand its influence on the continent of Obaro, not a rag full of weeds and withered people's livelihood, although your approach is a little clever, but the general direction is not wrong, at the critical moment, there are not many people about telling the truth!" "About 30,000 people!"

Hukochili wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his hand. Secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "This is only the number of people in the staggered area of our army and the expeditionary force, it is said that in the Kyoto area further north, in addition to the Salanders in a similar situation, there are more than 100,000 slaves from other places, adding up to about 200,000" "200,000 slaves?

Hukochili explained to him, "On this journey north, I discovered that it was not only the Salanders who were being taken as slaves. There were also a lot of people from Normandy who came from all over the country, these people were not Normans, so the expeditionary force did not kill them, but they were not much better than the Normans in treating them, and still treated them as slaves, and I think these people should be useful to us."

"Is it rare for a slave to become a master all of a sudden, but to be more brutal than his previous master?" the fat man sneered at the corner of his mouth. Disappreciatively, he said, "Since you provoked this matter, you are responsible for it, and now I will order you to find out the number of such similar "sinners" as quickly as possible, as well as those "slaves". For the known areas, measures must be taken to transfer all of them to the defense zone of the Central Army, and as for the areas further north, all of them must be transferred under the name of the personnel needed for the construction of the Empire's roads. No matter what the situation is, first grab all the people and then say" "His Majesty means that let our Central Army go directly to rob people ......!"

Hukochili looked sluggish. Grab it directly! The Falcon Majesty is still as domineering as ever.

He had also thought that His Majesty the Falcon might give a similar vague order, but he did not expect such a blatant and rigid wording, robbing people, what is the difference between this word and going to war, and what should the two sides do if they fight? Of course, this kind of question cannot be asked face to face

"How. Are you afraid of the expeditionary force?" seemed to sense Hukochili's predicament, and the fat man suddenly stopped,

At his feet were the Imperial Guards, broken into several pieces, engraved with Normandy's arabesque-patterned floor tiles, and wearing red cloaks, lined up along the ruined and empty roads, adding a bit of desolation to the ruin-like city" Of course not" Hu Keqili hurriedly straightened his body, coughed with embarrassment, and responded hesitantly, "If it is only about combat power, even the Normans can defeat them, not to mention that we are His Majesty's Central Guard!"

"The subordinates are just worried that the expeditionary force is also the army of the empire, and in the event of a confrontation with the central army, the subordinates don't know how to ......"

"Do you need an answer to such a simple question?" The fat man tilted his head, his tone was full of coldness, and he said slowly, "If this is the empire itself, if you don't obey the imperial military orders and attack the central army without authorization, what should you do according to the imperial military regulations!"

"Naturally, it will be exterminated on the spot as a rebel!" a cold answer flashed through Hukochili's mind almost without hesitation, "Then it's not enough!" The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Have you left the homeland and even changed the military regulations?"

"Yes, yes, the subordinates know how to do it......" Hu Keqi subconsciously shuddered, and nodded again and again, it is really clear that he can't be more straightforward, how can he not react for a long time, or from the beginning, his heart is rejecting this idea, anyway, the expeditionary force is also the sequence of the Falcon Army,

"There are some things that you just need to know in your heart!"

The fat man's cold voice interrupted his thoughts, to Hukochili's surprise, His Majesty Falcon actually said good things for the expeditionary force for the first time, in fact, the expeditionary force is not all heinous! Many of them have also fought bloody battles with the Normandians, and many of them have talents needed by the empire,

It's a pity that hatred blinds their eyes, and most people, lack the most basic reverence for the Empire, this situation is dangerous" "I don't want to see cannibalism!" The fat man's voice stopped, almost muffling it out with his nose "But they must know that the Empire's iron-blooded military rules are not a place they can wantonly despise, this land belongs to the Empire, not them!" This time I decided to convene the first military conference of the year in Strasbourg in order to transfer Reposti and Jaglins and their direct teams out of the expeditionary force, and the departure of the two of them will inevitably make the expeditionary force move.

"Life and death are in their own hands, either obey the Empire, or be wiped out by the three-way army of your Central Army, Caesar Sauron's Legion, and Saloni's Legion, and hope that the expeditionary force can make the right choice at the last moment!" )
