Chapter 154: Lost and Found

Wilder not only gave the old priest a passage fee, but also sent two guards to escort him all the way out of the city.

After that, he and Ilea entered the city lord's mansion and continued to discuss the follow-up.

"Just yesterday morning I received a letter from Adele Hughes, who said that there were many robbers and bandits entrenched near Cape Fortification, and the local villagers were so tormented by them that they could no longer live.

"Adele Hughes wants to help the villagers form a militia to suppress bandits."

"What do you think?"

Ilea didn't rush to make a statement, but asked rhetorically.

Although Adele is also from a noble family, she is not an heir as a woman, and was sent to the temple to study at an early age, so she is not so sensitive to some things.

But Miss Rabbit has been a lord for so long, but she knows that it is difficult for ordinary nobles to tolerate the presence of uncontrolled armed forces in their own territory, because it is likely to threaten the foundation of their rule.

"I promised her." "As long as she can make sure that the militia is always under the leadership of the Shuangxiu Church." ”

"Huh?"

The head of the Singleton family also had a look of helplessness on his face, "Although we have now recovered the Harvest Horn, I don't have many people at hand, and I have to guard against the enemies of those nearby towns, and I really don't have the extra troops to deal with those bandits."

"Rather than letting them continue to wreak havoc, it's better to ask Adele Hughes for their help."

"That's just as well." Ilea nodded.

"And most importantly, I've heard that you gave the Shuangxiu Sect the authority to form an army."

Miss Rabbit readily admitted, "That's right, I trust Merlin, and without the Black Dog Guard, my territory may have been destroyed by the Black Dragon." ”

"I also trust your judgment, so if that militia belongs to the Shuangxiu Sect, I don't have any opinion." Wild Road.

"In addition, after this battle, we should have captured a lot of weapons and armor, and I wonder if we can pick out some of the more mediocre and less valuable ones to arm those militias."

"That's a good idea." The female lord said, "We can bring more food to Adele and them." ”

"If you want to pull up a force, there will definitely be a shortage of food. Moreover, the Golden Valley has been ruined by those invaders, and I am afraid that there will be a famine this year. ”

Wild's expression was also very serious, "Spring ploughing has now passed, I hope production can resume in the autumn, otherwise there will be famine not only in the Golden Valley, but also in the entire continent next year." ”

However, as he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh again, and he knew in his heart that it was basically impossible to end the war before the fall.

The Wing-Clansmen had retreated, but the land they had swallowed was not so easy to spit out.

Neither Ebrutus, who had family members hostaged at the hands of those Wing-Clans, nor those who fished in troubled waters, would not surrender readily.

In fact, Wild still has nothing to say, if Ilea is willing to take her army to continue to fight eastward, and with the help of the dragon, it should not be difficult to continue to eat the Golden Valley as well.

But the female lord didn't seem to have any intention of this, she was already very satisfied with being able to recover the western border, and those Wing Clansmen came on such a trip, and the destructive power was still quite great.

There are also a lot of things waiting for Miss Rabbit to deal with in the follow-up reconstruction, and all the nobles in the Western Realm are also looking forward to returning home as soon as possible.

In addition, Wilder is still a vassal of the Campbell family after all, and the Golden Valley is the territory of the Campbell family, and if Ilea swallows it like this, it will be somewhat unjustifiable.

So the idea only went around in the heart of the head of the Singleton family, and he didn't say it.

It just so happened that Iwang also came back at this time, and brought back good news.

The Wingmen had withdrawn early in the morning, leaving only two to oversee Ebrutus, and the two had fled in the dark last night.

But although they were fast, they couldn't move everything.

In fact, those Wing-Clan people couldn't carry much supplies because they had to maintain their ability to fly, and they had grabbed a lot of things in the West Realm before, and they had all been pulled back to the Horn of Abundance pile, and they didn't have time to transport them back to Lionheart.

After the female lord laid down the horn of plenty, these things were also lost.

And a large part of them were offered by the lords who surrendered to Cheng before, and they didn't have the face to go back, so Miss Rabbit unceremoniously took it for herself, and the rest went back to the original owner.

No one has an opinion on this distribution, and Ilea also picked up about 600,000 golden lions for nothing, which directly made her smile crookedly.

Who said before that the West is poor, isn't it quite rich to look at?

If it weren't for Solomon's raids, Elia wouldn't have known that the big guys were so rich.

And the new batch of captives on hand can be sold again, and she has made a lot of money this time.

Warmly retained in Wild, the soldiers of the Westside spent four more days at Cape Plenty to celebrate the victory in the war.

It wasn't until early on the morning of the fifth day that Ilea was about to take someone away, but she heard another rumor.

After the death of Duke Theodore, it appears that some of the Campbells fled to the North to seek help from Allister and Monteverde.

Allister also agreed to his request and agreed to send troops to the Golden Valley, but it was not easy for them to fight this side, and they had to capture Lionheart Fort first, and they didn't know when they would have to run over.

However, with Solomon's defeat in the West, Allister, who had been silent for a long time, did become active during this time.

First they sent messengers to find the female lord, then they said that they wanted to reclaim the West, and it was said that the Monteverde family had begun to mobilize their army, and it seemed that they really planned to leave the North.

It would be a good thing for the female lord to have one more person to find trouble with those Wing Clansmen.

I just don't know when the two sides will be able to fight, and Miss Rabbit is not very optimistic about Allister, although those Wing Clan people have suffered heavy losses, they still have two dragons in their hands, plus a lot of followers.

And those nobles who have already surrendered definitely don't want those Wing Clansmen to be defeated like this, otherwise they will always bear the name of traitors, and the land they have previously obtained will also be spit out.

Seeing that there was nothing left on the side of the Golden Valley, Miss Rabbit also led the army back to the west.

Just as they were about to arrive at Songshi Fort, a small group of cavalry of unknown origin suddenly appeared at the rear of the group, led by a man who said that they had come to find Iwan.
