Slightly surprised by the appearance of the sorcerer and his Hive Overlord (now clearly a succubus), Aaron put Eleanor down and stepped forward to greet Cormier's Harpist League leader and one of his suzerains.

However, as mentioned earlier, Aaron has an absolute psychological advantage in the face of demons, and Elunora helped him last time, this female succubus disguised herself as a wanderer to assist him in investigating the ruins of the snake people, and then although she chose to retreat and did not fight with Aaron to the end, Aaron did not blame her at all.

Because her retreat had already been greeted by Aaron, and she had led away half of the undead Abomination Snake Men.

She didn't seem to be fine...... The strength of this succubus sect master has always been a mystery.

"Samir, you're also here to buy clothes for Midwinter?" Aaron greeted Samir and smiled, "That's a bad time, we're all about to finish picking."

"Hey, hey, hey~ no hurry." Samir glanced at Aaron with a lazy smile and motioned for his succubus sect master to start shopping: "Aeryu, you go and choose, I'll talk to Aaron."

"Okay~" The lively Elunora patted the female Tieflin on the shoulder with great interest, smiled slightly in the panicked eyes of the other party, and began to buy.

Samir walked up to Aaron, who was very familiar with Renard and Aaron.

Only Disma was still sulking.

"Lord Aaron, are you still interested in what you asked me to know about last time?" After a few words of conversation with Renard, Samir knew that the other party was a typical paladin, and suddenly lost interest in saying more, and instead focused on Aaron.

Aaron knew what Samir was talking about Millman Lauer, Countess of Arabell: "Of course, is there any new news?"

"Yes." Samir nodded, "You listen to me......

While Eleanor, Elunora, and Maria-Lysa were trying on clothes, Samir secretly told Aaron what was known in the fashion store.

Millman Lauer, Countess of Arabell, is amassing a large army intending to march north to reclaim Arabel at the beginning of spring next year.

The army numbered about 7,000-8,000 men, and she used every means possible to recruit all the forces she could, except for 3,000 in Ms. Raul's headquarters.

"You will be able to see the complex and diverse civilizations of the kingdom, the competing outer races, and the depth and breadth of inclusiveness in this army, eh, hey, hey~" This is Samir's original words: "You will know when the time comes."

Aaron frowned, the armies in the kingdom were gathering very slowly.

For example, when an ordinary noble lord needs to start a big battle, he may have to start preparing months in advance, for example, it takes a lot of time to notify the various lower lords and knights, his heralds need time to send the news to various places, and it takes time for the lower nobles to regroup their troops.

The Citizen Levy Army will be assembled faster, but the level of training of this group is not high, and it is not possible to expect them to have much combat effectiveness.

Mercenaries, mercenary groups, and adventurers are teams that assemble quickly and have strong combat effectiveness, but they need a lot of real money to move them. ….

Ms. Millman-Lauer had chosen the timing of the war well, Aaron thought after listening to Samir's description.

The orcs are not productive, and after occupying Arabell for nearly a year, even if there is any food in the local area, it should be almost exhausted by the orcs, and at this time, after a whole winter of lack of food, the orc tribe is at its weakest.

Ms. Raul chose to attack at this time, and if she can recover Arabel in one go, it will not affect the spring planting in the new year, which will help to quickly resume production.

But Aaron still has a problem.

"Our lady Raul doesn't even have a territory, where did she get the money to organize an army of eight thousand?" Aaron raised his own questions.

"Hey, hey, hey~" Samir laughed sneeringly, and the sorcerer made a gesture of clenching his fists and letting go, "That's thanks to that primeval red dragon."

and the orc Great Khan Tujin."

"After Tukin captured the city of Arabel, he plundered all the temples of the gods of the kingdom in the entire city, and then burned all the temples with a fire, and even the high-class inn where Lady Lucky stayed in the turbulent year, which was considered a holy place by many believers, was completely destroyed by the orcs and turned into ruins." Samir gestured and said, "All the idols have been desecrated, and from that day on, there are only idols of the orc god line in Arabel."

"So, this operation of Millman Lauer has the full support of many churches, especially the Lucky Lady Church, where the High Priest of Lucky Lady probably moved out every gold coin she had saved in the temple for many years in order to reclaim the holy place where their god had come down and stayed for months."

I see! Aaron's eyes showed a look of excitement, no wonder Ms. Raul was able to assemble a large army under such a difficult situation, it turned out that she had the full support of many churches!

This information is very important to Aaron, which shows that the probability of victory in this war is a little greater.

For example, Aaron's famous "Normandy Conquest" in his previous life was not so much the military strength of William the Conqueror, but his strong logistics and a little luck that determined the outcome of the war.

When William, Duke of Normandy, officially declared himself King of England in January 1066 and assembled a large army in Normandy, few people expected William to become King of England because his army was not as large as Harold II across the sea, and he had to fight across the sea against Harold II's army.

In the Middle Ages, the number of people fighting across the sea was still at a disadvantage, and it was really difficult to win.

However, a sudden hurricane delayed the war for eight months, and during the eight months of waiting, William, who had a lot of money and support, managed to maintain the size of his army and keep it trained, while Harold II on the other side of the sea was forced to disband most of his army because of lack of money and supplies, and completely abandoned the coastal defenses due to the Norwegian invasion and allowed the Normans to land.

Since then, Harold II has fallen into a disadvantage, whether it is in terms of training, the number of troops, or the defense system.

Eventually, the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066 earned William the Conqueror, and the French nobles became kings of the English, beginning the High Middle Ages. ….

"So, after all that, are you coming?" With a long sigh, Samir took out a beautiful magic flask from his waist and poured himself hard: "This world needs heroes! Are you coming?"

"Come!" Aaron didn't hesitate any longer, he nodded, "Then it's time for you to introduce me to Ms. Raul."

"Hey, hey, hey~ I knew you were coming." Samir smiled with satisfaction, "Oh yes, there's something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"I said before that I was the head of the Cormier Harpists League, right?"

"Yes."

「…… Actually, that's a lie, the leader of the Harpists League here in Cormier is Ms. Raul, I'm just a small soldier~"

Aaron: "............"

After entering the bottomless abyss and the first layer of hell, the little soldiers who can still escape with their whole body are right?

"After the New Year, I'll find a chance to introduce you." Samir shook Aaron's hand, "Don't disturb Ms. Raul and her daughter's vacation now."

"Good!"

A commitment to go to war was made.

Then both of them tacitly did not mention the matter again.

At Aaron's request, Eleanor tried on two more outfits, a gold-plated buttoned cream floral skirt and a black rose-edged dark sand dress, paired with a solemn gray pearlescent pantyhose and a sexy black thick matte pantyhose respectively.

Aaron bought a few more pairs of shoes and twenty pairs of *** for Miss Pastor, white silk, gray silk, brown silk, black silk, and it was divided into two types: suspender and trousers.

Cultivating the dressing habits of the pastor begins with this Midwinter Festival!

Aaron is ambitious and confident about it!

After shopping and checking out, the 2,500 gold lion coins went out like this, and Miss Pastor was so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head at all in the envious and jealous eyes of everyone, and she took Aaron's arm, sweet and sad in her heart.

She knew that her bottom line had been broken by Aaron again, and she couldn't keep any bottom line against this man at all.

Even Suren didn't support her.

O my lord, wilt thou no longer protect thy faithful servant?

Our Lady of Silver's reply was a gentle and reproachful chuckle that indicated that you were duplicitous.

Eleanor couldn't help but blush.

Even my lord sees through himself, doesn't he? Hmm~ Why am I so ashamed?

Thinking of the next Midwinter Festival and New Year, Eleanor's heart couldn't help but be full of anticipation.

He and I are finally going to ......

A girl in love is always so conflicted, and always so cute, Aaron noticed Eleanor's expression and gently scratched her little nose with his finger: "Just leave it to me, Eleanor."

"Don't think about doing bad things!" Eleanor waved her little fist demonstratively, saying that I am not afraid of you!

The girl's sea-blue eyes were transparent and bright, and there was only Aaron's reflection on the child's hole.

After the things were purchased, Aaron was about to ask the two seniors and Miss Laisha if they wanted to go together, but when he turned his head, he found that the university dean Renard had a strange face at the cash register, and Disma was a little gloating.

"What's wrong? Senior?" Aaron asks Disma what is going on. ….

"Ha, there are some people who don't have the strength to show their gentlemanly demeanor." Disma couldn't help but be proud, his dead fish eyes were full of sarcasm: "Now, embarrassing, right?"

The sunny and handsome Renard was indeed embarrassed, especially under the gaze of the two juniors, Samir and Elunora, the gaze of Miss Laisha, and the gaze of the shopkeeper and the female Tieflin, the expression of the holy warrior who had made a vow of dedication was stiff, and sweat came out on his forehead.

Out of gentlemanly demeanor, out of the paladin's sense of responsibility, and out of the advice of his mentor, Lucian, the flag officer, Renard offered to pay for Miss Lesha.

As a result, when I looked at the price, the university dean was directly stunned.

Miss Laisha was already very considerate and restrained, she only picked out a creamy winter dress, a pair of ordinary kitten shoes, ordinary brown spider silk *** and a red fox scarf.

Shopkeeper checkout: The four items add up to a total of 325 gold lion coins.

This calculation directly put Renard in order, and the paladin only brought 50 gold lion coins with him when he came out for a walk today! That's already the vast majority of his cash.

Renard's fixed income in the Purple Dragon Knights for a year is only 300 gold lion coins, and the rest is the harvest of the mission, and the university dean always donates all the excess money, leaving only basic living expenses and emergency reserves.

For Renard, 50 gold lion coins is a huge amount of money, an ordinary family of five is enough to live for more than a whole year, and today he was forcibly ordered by his mentor to accompany Miss Laisha to go shopping, and he has already brought as much money as possible.

This...... Is it so expensive?

"Sir, how are you going to pay the bill?" The owner of the Sant'Angelo Cypher fashion store asked, "Are you going to pay in cash, or do you want to mail a bill?"

"I ......," Renard was embarrassed.

He's Thom's paladin and he has to be honest, but he doesn't have the cash.

He was a paladin of Thom, he had to keep his word, he said he was here to pay the bills, and he didn't want to break his promises.

What to do, what to do? On a cold winter snowy day, Renard suddenly wondered if the ground dragon in the store was burning too hot, and his back was sweating.

"What does it mean to post a bill?" Aaron was puzzled: "Isn't Renard already ......?"

"You don't know, Yah

Ren, Renard is a paladin, and a paladin is credited." Disma deliberately amplified his voice a little, and he sneered, "Merchants are willing to lend money to the Holy Warrior, because the result of the Holy Warrior not paying back is more serious, so as long as it can be confirmed that the other party is a genuine Holy Warrior, most of the merchants are willing to let the Holy Warrior pay on credit."

"Can a paladin brush his face on credit?" Aaron said in surprise.

"Hey, you kid is quite vivid, yes, it's just a credit for brushing your face." Disma nodded.

Aaron thought to himself, when I am strong in the future, can I make a paladin routine loan? Determine the amount of credit for the Paladins by rating their sesame scores? If the sesame seeds are high, you can borrow divine grace directly from me through subspace and chaos? ….

When the scale is large, make a Salian financial service, and the whole multiverse will be listed!

With such a genius invention, Lady Fortune won't give me a position of God?

Oh yes, Ms. Fortune is missing, and there has been no news so far.

Aaron could only put this idea on hold for the time being, and when he saw that Renard was struggling and not knowing what to do, he was about to speak, but Disma took the initiative to say, "Hey, boy, you must have cash on you, right?"

"I have 200 gold lion coins on me, let's get together, get together 300, and settle this matter." The second senior took out a small bag from his body: "I will pay you back the money later."

"Senior?" Aaron's mouth opened wide, and he glanced at Disma from top to bottom, as if to confirm whether he was his second senior or not.

"What are you looking at?" With a hint of embarrassment in Disma's dead fish eyes, he turned his head, "Do you have any money?" Give me a word of approval!"

"I didn't expect you, senior, to be such a warm-hearted person." Aaron was a little moved, and he skillfully counted out the 100 gold lion coins.

"Who's warm-hearted?!" Disma was like a fried cat: "I'm just trying to prevent that guy from being chased to the Knights in debt, embarrassing the stinky old man, and having a bad impact on us, don't think too much about it!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Aaron smiled and took the money bag, and after a moment's thought, he motioned for Samir to come over and give the sorcerer a little advice.

What a human spirit Samir was, he immediately understood, and put his arms around Renard's shoulders with the money bag.

"Ah, my sir, I forgot, I haven't given you the commission I asked you to help last time......

Eventually, things worked out.

The group came out of the fashion store, Miss Laisha's family picked up the pure aristocratic girl, and Aaron saw Renard's tangled expression when he said goodbye to Miss Laisha, and thought to himself that he, the college president, would probably never come to this store again.

On the way, Renard still couldn't hold back, and the paladin complained, "325 gold lion coins, Tom is on it, Disma, Aaron, do you know how many people can eat bread and drink broth if so much money is donated to the refugees of Arabel? How many people can get a shelter that protects them from the wind and snow? I didn't feel worth spending such a large amount of money like this."

Disma sneered and rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that the paladins were really hopeless.

Eleanor, on the other hand, had a distempered face, and Miss Reverend always felt that the dean's words were a subtle accusation against her and Aaron.

"Come on!" Aaron said impatiently, "Senior! They are refugees, not disaster victims! You donate money this year, donate money next year, and the year after, they still have to face a full winter! Do you still have to donate money then? How much money do you have to fill this hole?"

"I'm ......," Renard was momentarily speechless, and Aaron had a point.

"What refugees really need is to go home! The best way for us to help them is to go home!" Aaron said categorically, "The only way to get them home is to really solve the refugee problem at its root!" Tell them, Samir."

The sorcerer told the two seniors about Lady Raul's plan.

"This world needs heroes!" Samir concluded, "Both, I formally invite you to join Lady Raul's Arabelli Restoration! Fight for all that is good in the mortal world!"

"Are you coming?"

Renard and Disma looked at each other, and both saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"Come!".
