Wilkes, the central city of the White Forest plane, has a permanent population of nearly one million and has a total of nine districts.

Central Temple District, Noble Block, Garrison Barracks District, Merchant Living Block, Commoner Block, Aboriginal Living District, Slum Block, Commercial Block, Industrial Block.

One of the main buildings, the temple is the most central part of Wilkes.

Much of the housing around the temple was owned by the clergy, but as the Temple of Liberty declined, most of the buildings in the neighborhood were purchased by nobles and merchants, and the Temple of Liberty is now the new Civic Center and House of Representatives.

The aristocratic neighborhood is basically a large manor, where the oldest nobles who have entered the Bailin plane live, and the people who can live in this area are some prominent magnates, this area covers a large area, but in fact there are only twenty-seven manors.

At the beginning of the establishment of the city, the garrison barracks used to be the temporary military camp of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and later established Wilkes City, which was also divided into military management areas, in addition to the military camp station, many knights who settled in the White Forest plane built some villa-style houses around the barracks, and now the entire garrison barracks area has become an independent block of Wilkes City.

In addition to the above-mentioned neighborhoods where the upper class lived, there were also merchants, commoners, aborigines, and slums.

Wilkes City's shopping streets and workshops are two separate neighborhoods.

The nine districts are divided by four central main streets, and in Wilkes City, in addition to the most famous Liberty Square in front of the temple, there are huge square squares at the intersection of the four main streets, surrounded by many trees, a row of benches on the edge of the grass, a flat circular area paved with stone slabs in the middle, and a marble statue towering in the center.

The provincial military headquarters of Bena is located in the garrison barracks, and the headquarters of the Luthor Regiment is a small three-story building facing the street on the south side and a square square on the north side.

The office of the Great Swordsman of Chester is located on the third floor of this small building.

From the east side of the window, you can see the temple in the center of the city, which is as magnificent as the castle palace, but unfortunately two years ago, a large number of clergy in the temple participated in the holy war, this temple became empty, as most of the priests and battle priests left the Bailin plane, the last dozen or so old priests stationed in the temple moved to the back of the temple, and they built all the doors and windows of the temple with bricks and stones, and completely sealed them.

It is said that they will come out of the palace when they have to practice penance inside, knowing that the glory of Lady Liberty will once again shine on all beings.

Now the gatekeepers bring multigrain cakes and water to the vents every day, and only once a week does someone take a portion of food and a portion of water.

Today, the temple is Wilkes' town hall and house of representatives, but the ornate temple is still as glamorous.

In the past month, the Great Swordsman of Chester has been almost busy, he didn't expect that the Langdon Legion was actually rotten to the bottom.

During the past three years, the commander of the Langdon Regiment has only traveled back and forth between Wilkes and Bednar, and he is a frequent guest at aristocratic balls, often inviting some aristocratic ladies to spend the night in his estate, and almost ignoring the affairs of Wilkes' northern defense zone.

Fortunately, the situation in the Bailin plane has been very stable in recent years, and the border towns in the northern defense zone seem to have been forgotten by everyone.

It is said that when the five cavalry battalions of the Langdon Regiment stationed on the northern border returned to Wilkes, they went to the taverns in the city to get drunk en masse, and when they were drunk, they sat on the side of the street or on the rooftops and sang or shouted to celebrate their success in getting out of danger before the crisis came.

Although the Wilkes City Military Department had already received an early warning of the beast tide, there had been no decent report from the northern defense area.

What's even more ridiculous is that the commander-in-chief of the Langdon Legion didn't know about this at all, and even said to several regiment commanders stationed in the border town with a stunned face at the 'Langdon Legion Garrison Celebration Reception': "The situation is so critical, how can you report it to the top?" ”

After a month of coordination and preparation, the Great Swordsman of Chester had sorted out the distribution of the defense areas of the battalions of the Luther Legion, and he urgently recruited 5,000 new troops from Wilkes City, formed a legion reserve, and organized these new troops into eighty-three squadrons, which were stationed in the towns around Wilkes City and accepted the unified jurisdiction of the local garrison.

The Chester Swordsmen then drew half of their troops from the barracks in these towns and gathered in the large camp in Wilkes, preparing to undergo the final reorganization and be temporarily seconded to the five northern border towns.

This would allow each frontier town to add a thousand elite cavalry, infantry, and archers to the Luther Legion.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the main army of Bena Province is currently trapped in the Warsaw plane, a coup d'état broke out in the Talapakant area, and the Maca plane has just ended a war of invasion by the hellish races, and the production and life of the inhabitants of the plane have not fully recovered, and a large amount of materials need to be continuously invested in the Warsaw plane, and now there is more Talapakant area.

Catapults, bed crossbows, and firescale bullets could not be supplied to the White Forest Plane, and the Great Swordsman of Chester had submitted three applications in a row, but unfortunately they were all ruthlessly rejected by the Bednar Provincial House of Representatives.

The Great Swordsman of Chester stood by the window with a cup of coffee and looked at the square not far away, listening to the adjutant's report.

When the adjutant talked about the situation in Dodan Town, the Chester Great Swordsman suddenly waved his hand and told the adjutant to stop.

He turned around and said, "I remember that the garrison of Dodan Town was Baron Surdak? ”

"Yes, Baron Surdak led an independent cavalry battalion to garrison the town of Dodan, this cavalry battalion has just been formed, we have no previous record of combat exploits, and we lack knowledge of their specific strength." The adjutant flipped through the parchment notebook in his hand and looked up.

The Chester Great Swordsman groaned for a moment, raised his hand and pointed upwards and said, "You go and make arrangements, this time the mixed troops will be sent to Dodan Town, and I will go myself." ”

"Yes! My lord. The adjutant immediately recorded the words of the Great Swordsman of Chester.

The Chester Archswordsman called out to the adjutant, "Oh, and! Ten catapults were dispatched to the town of Dodan. ”

The adjutant was slightly stunned, and asked the Chester Great Swordsman, "My lord, what should I do with the military headquarters?" ”

"I'm going to say hello to Earl Grant......" said the Chester Swordsman with a wave of his hand.

As soon as the adjutant walked out of the door, the assistant who was waiting outside the door poked his head in and said quickly:

"Lord Chester, Lord Florion, Archon of Wilkes, is here."

The Great Swordsman of Chester said:

"Come in, please."

Then he raised the coffee cup in his hand and said to the assistant, "Prepare another cup of coffee for Lord Florian." ”

……

The Great Swordsman of Chester walked to the door.

A man with a very neatly trimmed beard walked in, he was wearing a set of elegant noble dresses, and when he saw the great swordsman of Chester, he immediately opened his arms and hugged him, and said very warmly:

"Chester, how have you been doing in Wilkes lately?"

The Consul of Wilkes City actually looked even stronger than the Great Swordsman of Chester.

Chester smiled and said, "Lord Florian, it's very nice here, the climate is better than that of Bednar......

The two walked over to the couch in the office and sat down.

Archon Florion rubbed his hands together and said, "If you need anything, you can always send someone to the town hall to find me." ”

"Thank you for your concern!" The Great Swordsman of Chester said.

At this time, Chester's female assistant brought a cup of hot coffee to the Archon of Floreon.

Florion looked at the decoration of the office and said casually:

"I heard that the Marquis of Luthor is in charge of the Tarappakan region of Bena Province?"

The room was very well lit and the morning sun was shining through the window.

The Great Swordsman of Chester, with one hand on his waist and the other arm on the back of the sofa, said:

"If it weren't for the fact that the Bailin plane couldn't get out of here, I would have to go there to support."

Florion took a breath and asked with a solemn face, "The situation over there is bad?" ”

Chester Archswordsman said: "It's just that it involves Tanan, Lord McKinley persuaded more than twenty local noble lords to unite, for Bena Province, it is easy to recover those lands in Tanan, but they want to hide in the Ganbu plane and establish an independent regime, Lord McKinley has been operating in the Ganbu plane for nearly ten years, and the plane coordinates in our hands are only in this part of the empire, it is easy to recover Tanan, but if you want to recover the Ganbu plane, it is still very troublesome at present, It is necessary for the Great Magus to borrow the astrolabe in the astrologer's guild and reverse deduction. ”

The Archon of Florion asked again, "When will the Duke come back, there is no clear news yet?" ”

The Great Swordsman of Chester shook his head and said: "This time, even if you want to give up Handanar County, it is not so easy to shrink the defense line, Duke Ryan ran to the imperial capital this time, it is said that because a woman annoyed the royal family, and also angered the Imperial Capital Magic Guild, a large number of magicians withdrew from the Warsaw plane, and the Royal Constructed Knights led by the Prince of Wales also left the Warsaw plane, and the demon legion took the opportunity to occupy the entire Kempato River basin......"

The Archon of Florion leaned back on the sofa, his eyes swept over the map of Bailin on the wall, and said, "Although the Bailin plane is an inconspicuous small plane, hehe! Now it seems that small also has small benefits. ”

The Great Swordsman of Chester said: "The speed of development here is also very fast, I believe that it will not be long before there will be a second city here." ”

The Archon of Florion shook his head slightly and said, "This kind of thing always needs the support of the Duke. By the way, someone accused you of having a report letter in my office. ”

The Archswordsman of Chester looked up in astonishment, then got up and picked up a letter from his desk, and said:

"Let me guess, is it this one?"

The Archon of Florion took the envelope, opened the letterhead, and read it hastily before saying:

"You have it in your hand? Chester, what do you think about this? ”

The Great Swordsman of Chester touched his chin and said jokingly:

"If you can leave this report letter in my office without a sound, the whistleblower must be your person, right?"

The Archon of Florion hurriedly waved his hand to clarify himself, saying:

"How is that possible? If I encounter such a thing, of course, I will ask you to say it face to face, I have been an old friend with Marquis Luthor for so many years, and he sent the Luthor Legion to garrison in the Bailin Plane, also to help me survive this beast tide smoothly, and any contradictions will be put forward and made clear in person. ”

He was worried about the Chester Great Swordsman's wild conjectures, and then said:

The person behind the letter was a Wilkes City local councilor. His family is also a prestigious family in the Bailin plane, and the local aristocratic forces in the Bailin plane are intertwined, so if you want to send this report letter to your desk, there is naturally a way. ”

"I wonder what you want to do with it, though?"

He asked the Great Swordsman of Chester again.

The Great Swordsman of Chester smiled slightly, casually threw the letter on the table, and said, "Deal with it? What does such a whistleblower letter prove? ”

"The beast tide is coming, according to my thoughts, the northern border town should immediately implement the military control system, our current task is how to keep the beast tide north of the Thorn Mountains, whoever dares to stretch out his hand at this time, I will chop off his dog's paw with a sword, I don't care how long his hand stretched out before, in short, I have to retract it for me now."

The Chester Great Swordsman pointed into a knife and gestured, and the aura of the Second Turn Great Swordsman was suddenly revealed.

The Archon of Floreon, apparently dissatisfied with his remarks, leaned over and whispered:

"Don't talk to me about that, I know I want to hear what you have to say!"

The Great Swordsman of Chester rubbed his eyebrows, and then asked Florian:

"How long has it been since you've seen Hathaway?"

The Archon of Florion seriously recalled, and a little girl in a princess dress vaguely appeared in his mind, and he only remembered that the Marquis of Luthor liked to take his daughter with him, but he could no longer remember the appearance of the little girl, and said with a smile:

"That little princess of the Luthers? It's been about a few years, the last time I saw her, she had just studied at the Junior Swordsman Academy, why do you say this? ”

"This Baron Surdak has just gotten engaged to Hathaway." The Great Swordsman of Chester replied.

"Shhh The Archon of Florion shook his hand slightly, and almost spilled the coffee in his cup.

said with a wry smile: "This ...... It's really low-key! Shouldn't I stay with you as a deputy? How did you send it over there? Or was the Marquis of Luthor not very happy with this one? ”

The Great Swordsman of Chester waved his hand and said to the Archon of Florion: "Not only that, Baron Surdak was personally selected by the Marquis, and even the title on his body was jointly recommended by the Lord!" ”

"I know what to do, I'm going to Councilor Golding this time!"

The Archon of Florion drank the coffee from his cup, stood up and complained to the Great Swordsman of Chester:

"I didn't expect that after so long, Marquis Luthor still liked his set......"
