"A bucket?"

Qilin was initially frightened by this quantifier, but then remembered that the Gray Shaodong family in front of him was doing this business, so he calmed down, just feeling curious.

"That's fine, but there's got to be a reason, right?"

"Well, think of it as a little bit of gratitude from me, in fact, I should have thanked you in the first place. ”

"Say thank you to me, hey, isn't this the other way around?" Kirin didn't feel that he had done anything that Yili needed to be thankful for, but instead received too much help from him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'm not mistaken, it's just that there are some things you don't know yet, Kirin. With this passage as a beginning, Yili told the Kirin.

"Take, for example, Warhammer Volcano. In fact, the forests around the Warhammer Volcano were not all untouchable in the past, and a few years ago there was a small town called Nepal on the edge of that forest, and I lived there for a while to expand the business of the Chamber of Commerce......"

"Hmm...... Well. Yili's tone had an indescribable sadness, and Qilin's expression couldn't help but be stern.

"Because the forest at the foot of the volcano is inhabited by many monsters, the 6th Army of the Kingdom has about a battalion of troops stationed in the town, and the residents of the town are also brave and kind people, and they all try to protect their homes. Erie continued in a quiet tone. "Soldiers protect people, men protect women, women protect children, everyone is united, everyone does their best for the people around them...... It's such a weak people, but they survive tenaciously in a monster-infested area......"

Speaking of this, Greine Shaodong shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know anything more important than money until I saw them, so when I first arrived in that town, I was really surprised...... No, it was shock, I will never forget the emotion of that time for the rest of my life. I wanted to help them, using the power of the Grey Chamber of Commerce, to help them build that town into a home where everyone could live and work in peace, and the investment plan was originally approved by my father, but it didn't come in handy. ”

“...... Why?" Qilin couldn't help but ask.

In fact, even if he didn't ask, he almost knew the answer, and on the way to Warhammer Volcano in a transport boat, he didn't show any signs of human activity along the way.

"It was ruined by a monster. Erie gave a clear answer. "Once, I temporarily returned to the royal capital to dispatch goods, but when I came back, there were no living people in the town. ”

“...... Who did that?" Qilin frowned, his voice lowered.

"Well, I found out afterwards that there were two Korrodo dragons coming down from the volcano. Ely looked at the Kirin and explained the reason to him. "Although the 6th Army guarding the town fought desperately to the end, the poisonous flames of the Korrodo dragon still turned the entire town into a sea of fire...... When I returned, all I had left was a charred ruin, and then it was a monster-infested implace. ”

At this, Elie exhaled softly, and then, as if sensing that he had made the atmosphere too heavy, shook his head, and tried to speak in a cheerful voice.

"So, I'm very grateful to Mr. Hülegü! Although the life is irreparable, having those Korodo dragons as sacrifices can more or less soothe the dead, right? But in the end, this kind of thinking is really just my self-satisfaction, and it turns out that you almost can't come back...... I'm sorry about this, Kirin. ”

Erie raised his glass to the Kirin as if he was guilty, and without waiting for the Kirin to answer, he tilted his head and poured all the dragon blood Morgan in the cup into his mouth.

"Hey, you ...... drink like this" Qilin, who didn't have time to stop it, could only watch as Yili drank all the hard liquor.

Dragon's Blood Morgan is a spirit among spirits, while Grace Shaodong's amount of alcohol is only at the level of ordinary people. Under the gaze of the unicorn, Yili's face quickly turned from white to red, and then from red to white, and then his body shook, and he threw himself on the table as he put down his wine glass, and then fell drunk like this.

"So this guy has such a time......" Looking at Yili who fell on the table, Kirin couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

He always thought that this Greine Shaodong was a calm and rational person, no matter when, he could calmly analyze the severity of the matter and choose the most advantageous action. It's just that he didn't expect that Yili's character also has such an emotional side, which really surprised him - although it was unexpected, it would never make him feel disgusted, rather, rather than a calm and rational businessman, Qilin admired the drunken young man in front of him who grieved for what happened to the town and felt guilty for harming his friends in danger.

"What a fool, if you want revenge, just say no to me at first......"

Kirin muttered, picked up his wine glass, touched it with Yili's poured on the table, and then drank it with his head up.

The viscous liquor flowed into his throat, and Kirin felt as if he had drunk a flowing fire, a huge hot sensation burning down his throat and into his stomach, and the moment he put down his glass, he seemed to see two Ellies dangling on the table.

“...... This kind of liquor can be drunk as plain water, it's really a bad guy......" Kirin shook his drowsy head, trying to keep himself awake.

"However, that place called Nepal is really ......" Perhaps catalyzed by alcohol, Kirin's mood suddenly became quite bad.

However, it was difficult for him to find a clear target for the hatred that was rising in his heart. If it is said that it is the Korodo dragon that destroyed Miè Town, then the object of hatred should be the two that destroyed Miè Town? But apart from those two, it is not impossible for other Coronado dragons to take their place. Or, do you regard the entire Korrodo dragon race as an enemy? But in addition to the Korrodo dragon, there are countless monsters rampant in this land, and if you continue to spread out this line of thought, do you hate all the monsters, or do you hate the world that produced them?

Of course it is impossible. Even if the unicorn has the strength of ordinary people, but in the face of the cruel world, the only thing that can be complained about in the end may be the powerlessness of human beings, right?

........................

“...... Hey, what's wrong?

Just when Kirin was immersed in sentimentality, a very spiritual voice sounded behind him. It seems that the dance staged on the other side of the stage has come to an end, and someone who has enjoyed a spiritual meal has a red face at the moment, and his eyebrows are bright, and he sits happily next to the unicorn, takes a beer in his hand, and exhales a long breath of satisfaction after taking a sip of grunt.

“...... You're really in a good mood. Looking at Greine Shaodong who fell to the ground, and then at the new king of Ravillis in front of him, Qilin suddenly felt that the face in front of him was a little hateful.

"Oh, this guy Erie, is he already lying down?" Xiude burped and leaned over to inspect Grayne's situation, looking as if he was planning to play a prank.

"Stop! Do you know what we've just been talking about?" Qilin reached out and lifted Xiude back, and then told him what the two had just discussed.

“...... What, that's what happened. After listening to this, Xiude's reaction made Qilin almost can't help but slam his fist.

"Do you know anything about this kind of thing......?"

"I know, it's the matter of Nepal Town, right?" Xiu De, who said this, picked up another beer, and said: "There are 1,347 residents in Nepal Town, and the garrison at that time was the 17th Combat Battalion under the 26th Army of Wang**. In the monster attack two years ago, all 17 people in the platoon from Captain Wells and below the battalion commander were killed, while 120 survivors were among the townspeople. In addition to this, similar events caused by monsters in the same year include the destruction of the village of Veratin, the collapse of the Cullen Mine, and the mutation of Lake Elswell. In the above three incidents, more than 2,700 people were killed and injured, and the names that can be found are ......"

"Wait!Wait!Wait!Wait!Wait!! "Since you know everything, why are you still leaving it alone?"

"I didn't leave it alone, I just ...... Well, there's nothing you can do about it. Xiude shrugged his shoulders and showed an aggrieved expression.

"You can't do anything, you're the king of this country, you can't do anything, so who else can do it?" Qilin struggled to suppress the growing urge in his heart.

"You're right, there's just no way to ......" Xiu De, who was about to say this, was frightened by Qilin's expression, and urgently changed his words: "Uh, for example, what do you think I should do?"

"Of course it is......" Kirin was stunned, and then tried to make an opinion. "Increase the number of garrisons in various places?"

"Where do the troops come from?"

"Isn't it okay to dispatch from all over the place?"

"There are more and more monsters running rampant, and the kingdom has long run out of surplus troops......"

"So, what about re-enlistment?"

"Conscription also costs money, and if the people go to the army, who will be responsible for production?"

"But if you can't even guarantee safety, what you produce is in vain, right?"

"Having said that, there is always food to feed the army, right? Weapons and equipment, military salaries, supplies, etc., these are also huge expenses! And when it comes to the country's budget, it has been hovering on the edge of a deficit for a long time. ”

"Hmmmm......" Qilin scratched his head in distress and confirmed to Xiude. "I said, is there really no way?"

"Well, I'll tell you about the current situation in the kingdom, and then you can determine if there's a way. Xiude put down his wine glass and introduced it to Qilin in a straight posture.

"First, the army of the kingdom of La Velis is divided into two parts: the 6th Army and the Air Force. There are 12 wings in the Air Force, and each wing has 10 air cavalry under its command. These twelve wings are divided into three cavalry battalions, the first cavalry battalion is the 'Sky King Cavalry', and the first to fourth wings under their command are responsible for guarding the airspace near the royal capital. The second cavalry battalion is the 'Dawn Night Silver Cavalry', and the third cavalry battalion is the 'Red Flame Cavalry', and there are also four wings under their command, which are stationed in strategic locations in the north and south of the kingdom, and are responsible for guarding the airspace in the region. ”

"In other words, there are a total of one hundred and twenty air horses in the Kingdom Air Force, isn't it a lot?" Qilin said intuitively.

"It's just that it seems like a lot, do you know how many air thieves are rampant in the kingdom?"

"I know there are more than a hundred in the jurisdiction of Noin, but the rest is not clear. Kirin shook his head.

"The total number of the Air Thieves is over three hundred. Xiude reported a staggering figure. "Generally speaking, with the meagre combat strength of only one hundred and twenty air cavalry, it is simply impossible to fight against more than three hundred air thieves in such a vast sky. If it weren't for the fact that the Shoshi of our army generally had excellent or above, the kingdom would have been defeated in the war with the air thieves. ”

With his fingers dipped in wine, Xiude drew a map of the kingdom on the table, and then pointed to three small areas on the map, further explaining to the Qilin.

"In fact, the airspace that the Air Force can control is only that, which together is less than one-fifth of the airspace of the Kingdom, and the area outside of this is the stage for the air thieves to run rampant. Except for the Sky King Cavalry, who occasionally had the strength to go to the crusade, the other two war cavalry battalions had already done their best to maintain the original airspace...... All in all, all the combat power of the Air Force was consumed in the war with the air thieves, and there was nothing left at all.

"So, what about the 6th Army?" Qilin asked with a frown.

"As for the situation of the 6th Army, it is even more miserable than that of the Air Force. Xiude responded with a bitter face.

"The 6th Army of the Kingdom has a total of six legions, each of which has 10,000 troops under its command, plus other departments such as logistics and staff, the total strength of the 6th Army of the Kingdom is about 70,000. Xiude introduced. "The establishment of the 6th Army of the Kingdom is 10 people, 100 people are battalions, 1,000 people are regiments, and 10,000 people are troops, and among the six army corps, only the first army stationed in the royal capital barely maintains a complete establishment. As for the other five legions, they were basically units of armies or battalions scattered throughout the kingdom...... By the way, do you want to guess why?"

"Hmm, what's the ......" Xiude's sudden question made Kirin ponder for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, the biggest reason for the existence of the army, which is a national armed organization, is to prevent foreign invasion, but in the case of the kingdom of Lavelis, there is no hostile national organization on the southern Great 6, and the Austan Empire, which is located in the central Great 6, has not shown any interest in this chaotic land so far. In such a situation, Wang **'s duty is not so much to defend against foreign aggression as to deal with the challenges of air thieves and monsters in the country.

Since the mission of the Air Force is to protect the tranquility of the sky under the prying eyes of air thieves, the mission of the 6th Army is naturally to protect the safety of the people under the atrocities of monsters.

“...... The 6th Army dispersed its forces throughout the kingdom to protect the people from the attack of monsters?" Kirin said.

"Yes, that's it. Xiude nodded in reply. "But in fact, even with this method, the strength of the 6th Army is far from enough, and tragedies like the one in Nepal are repeated almost every month in various parts of the kingdom. Originally, the kingdom of La Velis ruled two-thirds of the territory of the Southern Grand 6, but until now, more than half of the Southern Grand 6 has been reduced to a lawless zone. Empty thieves and monsters are constantly eroding the kingdom's territory, and the kingdom has done its best to slow down the erosion, as for the rest...... To be honest, there is nothing I can do, whether it is me, my teacher, or our prime minister. ”

Xiude said this with a rare heavy expression, and Qilin's heart also became heavy, but he still tried to give his opinion.

"I said, can the kingdom be in a different way? For example, it is more efficient to concentrate the scattered forces of the 6th Army and concentrate on expelling the monsters that cannot be brought than to divide the troops to garrison, right?"

"In the case of the two being too strong, it may be useful to adopt this method...... Xiude replied with a wry smile. "But the current situation is that the number of monsters has long passed the level that the 6th Army can handle. In the case of Warhammer Volcano, even if I concentrate the strength of all seven legions, I doubt that I will be able to fight against the monsters in it. ”

"Hey, isn't there nothing you can do?" said Kirin in frustration.

"Of course there is a way!" Speaking of this, Xiude's tone suddenly perked up. "As I said just now, whether it is the Air Force and air thieves, or the 6th Army and monsters, they are all in a state of slow elimination of one and the other. In this state, as long as there is a turnaround on either side, it will immediately affect the other side, and then promote the whole situation to change!"

“...... For example?" Kirin stared at him suspiciously.

"For example, if there is another ace pilot in the Air Force who is comparable to the 'Brilliant Thunder Dome'......" Xiu De's eyes fell on Qilin's body.

"You know, the combat effectiveness of an ace pilot is not at the same level as that of an ordinary pilot. In the current situation, with only one more ace pilot, the Air Force can in turn form a strategic advantage over the air thieves, and then turn the situation in a good direction. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if an ace pilot can't completely change the strength difference between the air force and the air thieves, for the 6th Army, there is or no support from the air force in the battle with the monsters, it is definitely two different things! What's more, if you can get the support of the ace pilot, it is not impossible to counterattack the monster's impassable zone in a local area!"

"I said......" Xiude said very reasonably, but Kirin didn't hear it right. He licked his lips, confirming in a confused tone. "Are you expecting me to play this role?"

"Well, isn't your goal to become an ace pilot?" Xiude smiled cheaply.

“...... It turns out that you guys have already calculated it. Kirin glared at him.

"Actually, I think it's quite funny, but it's not impossible for you to think like this......" Xiude shrugged his shoulders and looked at the Qilin with great anticipation.

"Anyway, it's true that this country needs a hero, and I think you have that possibility. ”

“...... Don't you think it's too much for a rookie who has just been riding in the air for less than a day?"

"Aren't you interested in being a hero?"

"Not interested. ”

“...... Even if Noin needs a shoulder to lean on?"

"Huh?"
