On the night of Leon's wedding, Klose takes a group of older brothers to listen to the wall, a tradition that has always existed everywhere, even at the king's wedding......

After all, Risa Dilan, who is in charge of security and defense, is also listening to the wall......

However, Risardiran was still very responsible, he didn't mix with Klose and the others - he was on duty at the back door.

Of course, it is normal to lie down under the wall to observe and observe when on duty......

But what they heard was not a beautiful movement, but a very serious 'family meeting'......

"The High Lords of all countries have come to watch the ceremony, trade with Fieldsway and the Raven Realm has resumed, and Alina is spreading the word. If nothing else, the carriages made by the Noldos will soon be popular across the continent, and the property in River City should also attract many people to work and settle down......"

Leon sat on the carpet and fanned himself in the wind, which was used by several armistice agreements—contracts of peace and trade with the territories of Fieldsway and Ursula.

"I don't quite understand why I want to run a carriage now, don't you focus on stockpiling food?"

Wendy leaned against Amy and asked as she rubbed her head against Amy's chest.

"Because we have to solve the transportation problem first, if many people have horse-drawn carriages, then ordinary people can also transport food or other materials to us, and they will no longer be restricted by the noble lords. The reopening of Changhe Express is also to solve such problems. ”

Amy reached out and grabbed Wendy to keep her from moving, explaining while playing with Wendy's slightly curly long hair.

"So what am I going to do now? I'm still not very good at business......"

Wendy looked up at Amy.

"There has been news from the White Deer Castle that the fire in the forest has been extinguished. Wendy, in two days you will have to take your people back into the forest, cut down trees along the burned tracks, open roads, and build a woodworking mill and a wagon factory. At the same time, the forest is cut out of several isolation zones to avoid further fires. Then, you have to organize your people to plant trees...... I will ask all the people in the eastern region to cooperate with you so that the forest ecology can be restored as soon as possible, so as to reduce the agricultural disasters in the eastern region. ”

Leon replied as he turned to look at Wendy.

In fact, Leon felt a little weird in his heart - Wendy, an underage girl in her fifties, was coquettish in the arms of Amy, a girl in her twenties......

"But I'll have to deal with you against the Bacchus Empire!"

Wendy had some reluctance on her face: "Isn't it okay to let Israndir take the people back to make the carriage?" ”

"No, I can't. You are the queen of the Noldor Elves, and the new Duchy of Noldor must be rebuilt by you. Compared with war, construction is the foundation of ruling the country...... Moreover, the carriage will become a long-term profitable business for your people, and this livelihood must be controlled by your own hands. Besides, Israndir is going to stay here and fight against the Bacchus Empire. ”

Amy stroked Wendy's face with her hand and took her into her arms.

"Didn't you say you had to spend a honeymoon or something after getting married......

Wendy grunted.

"We don't have time...... We are no longer ordinary people, we are all burdened with the future of tens of thousands of people, and we are not qualified to be as willful as before......"

Amy said and sighed: "I will also leave here in two days, I will go to Lion City, and move people from other parts of the Lion Realm to reclaim the land around Luxin Lake." I have to complete the relocation of more than 100,000 people by the end of September, and I need to reclaim enough arable land to support the entire Lion Realm......"

"Don't you move people from the Long River City? There are too many people in Long River City now......"

Wendy asked.

"People in Long River City can't move, they either buy property in the city or work here, and moving them will have problems...... The population of the entire Lion Realm has been greatly reduced in the past two years, and the construction of Changhe City is used to attract population. But most of the people who come here are city dwellers, and there are not many farmers. I had to move people from other places, such as Harlemgosburg or Azgold. ”

Amy explained.

"Wendy, you have a lot to do, the business of the 'Elf Carriage' will continue to expand, and car loans and home loans will be the pillars of the profitability of Pande Bank, which is the foundation of the whole new Pande Bank. I never moved the Pander Bank headquarters out of Fort White Hart so that the elves could protect it...... And, in addition to rebuilding your home and securing the Pander Bank, you'll have to lead your people to stop the Gatu......"

Leon also sighed: "This winter, the Gatu people will definitely go south to plunder...... Their pastures will be most directly affected by forest fires, and many snakes, insects, rats and ants will run to the grasslands, causing a lot of damage to their livestock......"

"Ardalian has said the same thing, so he has been on the northern border before."

Wendy propped herself up from Amy's arms: "Leon, the war with the Bacchus Empire will be difficult to end for a while, right?" Each of us has so much to do, haven't we been able to spend our honeymoon all the time? ”

She's still thinking about her honeymoon......

"Maybe it won't be long. I'll fight a decisive battle with the Bacchus Empire as soon as possible...... Emperor Marius will not drag on the war for too long, he has already assembled his army to Karen Deer Castle, and it is clear that he also wants to fight me quickly. He was a good emperor who would think about the lives of the people. ”

Leon shook his head, but then frowned: "But ...... I can only fight Bacchus head-to-head, this time only hard-hitting, no petty tricks. ”

"Why? This is a big loss...... The battle formation of the Bacchus Empire is indeed quite powerful. ”

Wendy asked.

Bacchus' army is indeed the best in the continent in terms of discipline and coordination, and frontal positional warfare is Bacchus' forte, and Wendy knows it.

"Because to let everyone see the power of the kingdom of New Pande......"

After all, Amy was the head of state for a while, and she understood what Leon was going to do: "The kingdom of New Pander has just been established, and it is better to use a big battle to show its strength, and this battle is best won without conspiracy and intrigues, and with dignified strength." In this way, things can be much easier in the future. ”

"You can't use intrigue and trickery, but ...... Wendy, you can prepare a reserve at Shieldwind Fortress, maybe it will be useful. ”

Leon added.

"I will also prepare a reserve team at the Seven Forks Fortress......"

Amy said at the same time.

Wendy looked at Leon, then back at Amy, and nodded.

She actually had some taste in her heart—she knew now that it was true that only Amy was the one who knew Leon's thoughts best.

So she stepped forward and sat down next to Leon, and then clumsily threw Leon down on the carpet......

Amy stared dumbfounded for a moment, her face and neck rapidly turning red.

Leon struggled twice, but his current combat strength was really not as good as Wendy's—he couldn't even break free.

He only had time to shout: "Klose! You bastards! I know you're here! Hurry up and fuck me......"

Then, Wendy gags her mouth with more clumsy movements.

……

Early August 358 in the Pande calendar.

Amy has settled in Lion City and is gathering the farmers to reclaim the wasteland.

The benefits of this reclamation are very staggering: as long as one hundred pounds of grain per mu can be paid for the harvest season next year, then any farmer can reclaim the land at will, and all the land reclaimed belongs to the farmer himself.

Moreover, Amy was provided with seeds and farming tools, and she was provided with two meals a day during the reclamation period - but as in the White Deer Fort and Maixiang Territory, you had to plant enough land after receiving the seeds, otherwise you would be considered a fraudster.

There are no more nobles around Luxin Lake, and even if there are surviving nobles, they will be defined as bankrupt commoners by Amy.

All the land here is currently considered the land of Amy, the lion queen, and she can give it to anyone as she wants.

This condition soon attracted many farmers, and Eric also went to the Lion City to help, and the convoy of Long River Express began to deliver supplies to the Lion City.

The Lion City, which had been destroyed, was once again revitalized.

Wendy has also gone to White Hart Castle and began to organize a group of elves to start transforming the forest.

Timber processing factories quickly appeared in the forest, and a huge factory area began to be built between Mai Xiangling and Bailu Fort.

It is a huge horse-drawn carriage production plant, with huge diamond-shaped insignia hanging on the top of the various factories.

The market was also rebuilt, and the non-commissioned officers returned to the Wheat Collar and became the supporting staff and agents of the 'Elven Carriage Workshop'.

There are too many insects near Mai Xiangling, which is not suitable for farming at present, but it is very suitable for painting and selling cars.

And Leon also ushered in General Sula again at this time.

The gate of the city of the Long River.

"Your Majesty Leon, I have brought the head of Antonius. Can you free the Shadow Legion......"

Sulla still came to see Leon alone, carrying a box in her hand.

The box opened, and inside was a human head in lime, which was indeed Antonius.

"You're seven days late, General Sula, and you've said a good month......"

Li Ang said expressionlessly.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't easy to take him down. Hopefully our deal is still valid...... I also brought the food, which was in the convoy outside the city. ”

Sula pointed behind her.

About 300 meters outside the city of Changhe, hundreds of horse-drawn carriages were parked.

The carriage was surrounded by various troops, including Silver Hand and Noldor Elves.

"Sura, you're seven days late, so I should at least charge some interest...... I could put the Shadow Legion back, but each of them would have to lose a finger - it would be a punishment for breaking diplomatic relations, shouldn't it be too much? ”

Leon asked.

"Of course...... As long as they can go back alive. ”

Sulla will also feel that this punishment is acceptable.

"Okay, bring in the food, and you can take the people away in the afternoon."

Leon nodded and entered the city.

In the afternoon, General Sulla's wagon carrying food was once again used to transport the Shadow Legion's men.

Every soldier of the Shadow Legion had their right thumb cut off.

"Your Majesty Leon...... I'm afraid they'll not be able to do any heavy work when they get back...... You did it on purpose, right?! ”

When General Sula saw this kind of scene, he didn't say anything too much, after all, he broke his promise first, and he couldn't blame Leon.

"I'm helping His Majesty Marius...... General Sulla, when you meet His Majesty Marius, he will tell you why I did it. By the way, to tell His Majesty Marius, the war ...... Here we go! ”

Leon sent Sula out the door.

Later, he called for Neuer, the Twilight Knight under Israndil: "Hang the head of Antonius and the head of Keros in the Shieldwind Fortress, and build a stone monument there to tell the people about the consequences of destroying the forest......"

The next day, using the food brought by General Sulla as rations, Leon began to send troops to Karen Deer Castle.

……

Karen Deer Castle.

General Agathon met with the Shadow Legionnaires brought back by Sulla.

"Their hands...... What did Leon do?! ”

Unlike Sulla, Agathon was rather dissatisfied: "Has he become so cruel since he became king?" ”

He's from the Shadow Legion, after all.

"Cruel? He's kind enough to keep these people alive, Agathon ......"

General Sula shook his head slowly: "If someone completely destroys your family, burns down all your estates, kills your family's people, and burns everything your wife's entire family depends on for survival, will you let these people live?" ”

Agathon was stunned, but then retorted sharply: "That's different! These are the soldiers of the Empire! A descendant of the founders of empires! It is the descendant of the heroes! ”

"What's the difference? Soldiers are also people, and heroes are also people...... Noldor is also human, and so are Leon's men...... Kairos and his son, too, are people. ”

Sulla said as he shook his head and left: "You better hurry up and deal with Leon's troops, Your Majesty asks you to hold the Karen Deer Castle ......"

"Shou? …… Tell the whole army that if you fall into the hands of Li Ang, there will only be such an end! If you don't win this battle, you will be worse off than dead! Herald! With the gladiatorial soldier regiment as the vanguard, all ...... Strike now! ”

Agathon shouted to the heralds.

Sura paused and turned his head with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Agathon, you want to take the initiative?!" ”

"Offense is the best defense...... General Sula, please tell Your Majesty that I must seize the opportunity that Leon has given us, and only in this way can we maintain the morale of the army......"

Agathon looked at the Shadow Legionnaire who had lost their thumbs on the carriage and said word by word.

Sula frowned, then flew on his horse and hurried towards Boshi City.

Emperor Marius was in the city of Bozhi at this time.

His body was still weak, and just coming here from Siyuan City had already cost him most of his life.

At the moment, he could only lie on the bed and listen to Sula report to him.

"Leon said he was helping you by cutting off the thumbs of those people...... I don't quite understand what he means......"

Sula asked about what Leon had said.

"He knows that I ransomed the Shadow Legion only for the sake of morale, and he also knows that I don't want the old faction to still have a formed army, and in that regard, he is really helping me......"

"It's okay for Agathon to keep the morale of the army through this, but the problem is ...... Leon was using this method to induce him to take the initiative! You went seven days late, but Leon didn't move at all during those seven days - Leon didn't want to take the initiative to attack either! He deliberately made an excuse to cut off the thumb of the Legionnaire! Even if you catch Antonius in time, Leon will still use other excuses to do so! ”

Emperor Marius said weakly.

"That'...... General Agathon's side ......"

Sula was also a little weak.

Leon used a yang scheme, and Agathon was a descendant of the members of the Shadow Legion and a general who came out of the Shadow Legion, so he would inevitably eat this plan.

"I have to go to Karen Deer Castle...... Give me armor, and I will personally conquer. ”

Emperor Marius struggled to brace himself.
