Then, taking out a bag of gold coins from his bosom, he said, "These deposits will be returned to you." Super-fast and stable update novel, this article is published by www. lwχｓ520。 com starter"

After speaking, Horn and his party of seven walked out of the lord's mansion directly, leaving the Count of Zelas and his wife in a daze, trying to keep everyone, but they didn't have that face.

Horn walked out into the street and asked, "Where are you going to live now?"

Jin thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay in the hotel first." ”

Horn felt that since they were going to stay to fight against the orcs, it would be more appropriate to report to the legion, and persuaded him: "I think it is better to go to the city of Kayan, and I will tell Bradley that the camp is very empty, and it is not bad to live with the six of you." ”

Popner shook his head like a rattle and said, "We are used to freedom, and we can't stand the constraints inside, so we still live comfortably in a hotel." ”

Seeing that they were so persistent, Horn was not persuading, and saying goodbye to everyone would be stuck in Salt City.

Horn returned to Cayan City and walked to the central tower, hesitating for a long time. Deciding to go up and talk to Tucky, he spoke to the guard at the door and told him to report it.

After a while, the guards came down and let Horn go up.

Horn climbed the tower, and the stone stairs spiraling up were thousands of steps, if it weren't for Horn's own strength as a ninth-level martial artist, with the physique of a normal magician, climbing this tower would be estimated to be half exhausted and half dead.

When Horn went up to the stone chamber at the top of the tower, Tage was still standing in front of the giant sand table, and he smiled at Horn who came up, and the face that originally looked like a butcher was even more hideous. "How's it going?"

Horn pressed his hand to his chest, bowed, and said, "Lord Tucky, I've already gone to report. At the same time, I have also been to the real city of Kayan not far from here, and have met the lord here, Count Zeroth. ”

Tudge frowned, grinning disdainfully, "Is that 'Soft Egg Zelath'? Why hasn't he left here yet? I thought he had already run away...... How's that? What did that guy say?"

Horn smiled bitterly, although he didn't know why Tage called Zelas a 'soft egg', but when Zelas heard that the situation was not good for humanity, he immediately wanted to run away. It's not an exaggeration to call it a 'soft egg'. "I heard that Count Zeroth is leaving here tomorrow, it seems that it is because he has a grandmother in the south of the empire who has died of illness and has to mourn, and it may be a long time before he returns. ”

Tucky snorted and said with contempt: "What other grandmother does he have, I'm afraid he has already gone to reincarnate, and he is still waiting for him to mourn...... This is clearly just an excuse. ”

Speaking of this, Tuqi said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor didn't arrest and execute these soft nobles who escaped from the battle one by one. This kind of person who gives up his own people and ignores it is also worthy of being a lord, and he is also considered a noble......man?

Horn didn't expect Tuqi to have such a violent temper, and he actually complained directly about the Supreme Emperor His Majesty in front of outsiders, and even scolded all the nobles. However, Horn feels that this kind of person is still easier to get along with, at least he won't play double-faced.

At the moment, he chimed in: "Yes, human beings are still taking care of themselves in such a dangerous situation. If it is the other two empires, it can be said that it does not directly threaten their own interests, and it is understandable. Unexpectedly, a dignified Saatchi nobleman actually escaped from the battle, which was simply smearing the faces of the Saatchi people. ”

Tudge's eyes lit up when he heard this. I couldn't help but walk over, patted Horn on the shoulder and laughed and said, "Okay...... It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak like that, and you're to my liking, and a person like you can be called a true Thatch. ”

Horn could only laugh along with it, thinking to himself, if you knew that I was actually from the Sunderland Empire, I don't know what the expression would be on my face.

But Horn wasn't here to listen to Tucky's praise, and he came with a better idea to recruit more soldiers. After coughing, he said, "Lord Tucky, I have a way to recruit more soldiers for the Empire......

Tudge was stunned, he was agonizing over it. Although he has 120,000 troops in his hands, he does not have an advantage over the orcs. Moreover, humans cannot afford to lose this kind of war, as long as it fails, the nightmare of the first human being enslaved by orcs will come again. He several times advised the Minister of War to ask for conscription. But it had no effect, because the strength of the whole country was now the largest force that could be collected within the legal limits of the empire. The rest of the population that could be conquered was in the hands of the various noble lords, who believed that they had done their duty and refused the Empire's order to recruit again.

Puzzled, he asked: "What is your good solution? For the matter of conscription, the empire and the noble council have quarreled many times, but they can't do anything, according to the charter, the nobles can refuse any additional orders from the empire after fulfilling their obligations." ”

Horn smiled mysteriously and said, "What if we don't go through the Council of Nobles?"

Tudge frowned, not understanding what Horn meant. urged: "Just say it, don't beat around the bush." ”

Horn didn't have the appetite for Hangtaqi either, and said directly: "I mean to go directly to our legion area to recruit troops, if those lords cooperate, it would be better." If you don't cooperate...... We just arrested them and forced them to cooperate. ”

Tudge's eyes widened, and he looked at Horn incredulously. How could such an unbelievable idea come from this seemingly very kind young man? You must know that you cannot arrest nobles without the approval of the Empire, not even a small knight. Under normal circumstances, the arrest of a nobleman requires conclusive evidence, and then the accusation begins, and when the noble council agrees that the nobleman has indeed committed a crime, then the imperial investigators can arrest him, and during the arrest, the nobleman cannot be abused. Because of this, all the people under them sharpened their heads and wanted to enter the aristocracy.

Unauthorized control of the nobility will be punished very severely, not only the family badge will be removed from the noble council, the title of nobility will be deprived, and in serious cases, the death penalty will be carried back, and even the children and grandchildren will be harmed.

However, this method is also very effective, as long as these lords are controlled in their hands, it is equivalent to being able to do whatever they want in their jurisdiction, which is equivalent to the de facto emperor of the soil.

Tuqi sighed and said, "This method is really effective...... But the consequences are serious, is there any other way you can do it?"

"Yes......," Horn said after a moment's thought.

"Say it quickly," Tudge urged.

Horn looked around and made sure that there was no one around, before he whispered in Tuqi's ear: "We can find someone to pretend to be orcs and kill all these lords, and then we can control all the territories in the name of hunting down orcs." ”

Tucky shuddered as he listened, the plan was even crazier than the one he had just had. Last time, it was just to control these lords and let them obey their orders.

Tudge frowned and kept walking back and forth. To be honest, he was a little moved by Horn's plan. Regardless of whether the first plan succeeds or not, he will be a nobleman in his life, and he is even in danger of being beheaded. The second plan is a little better, that is, as long as the matter is not revealed, then you can retreat completely, and push everything on the orcs, and nothing will happen. It's just that this plan is too vicious, it's really hard to start, how to say that there is no grievance with those lords, and it is unreasonable to want their lives all at once.

After a long time, Tudge suddenly asked Horn, "Is there a better way?"

Horn shook his head in silence, this was the best he could think of. In fact, he is also very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, no matter which of these two methods is chosen, Tuqi will not have a good life in the future. And as a counselor, his conscience is not at ease. It's just that in the face of the general trend, I have to make a choice, even if this choice is not what I want......

Tudge closed his eyes for a long time, and finally opened them and said firmly, "I choose the first method. ”

Horn was stunned, he had always thought that Tuchhuo had chosen the second method, so that as long as things were not revealed, nothing would happen. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Have you thought it through......?"

Tuch interrupted Horn with a wave of his hand, saying, "I know the consequences, if this time is successful, I will be the only one to be punished, and it will be better than letting so many people die." If it fails, I guess I'll be dead, and I'm still worried about what I'm doing. ”

Horn listened silently, and suddenly admired this man who looked like a butcher, and sighed and said, "You are a good person......"

Tuqi smiled wryly and said, "It's just that it's not easy to be a good person."

When Horn exited the tower, several magical lights flashed from the top of the tower, which Horn could tell was using magical communication to have a unique glow.

Horn silently returned to the Magic Camp camp, the mansion of the former Earl of Zeroth's Salt City. My heart is very heavy, maybe I have inadvertently changed the fate of many people......

In the Medin Buche Mountains, the tents are like waves in the ocean, row after row, stretching endlessly.

The tents are made of fur and are well protected from the biting cold winds that blow from the north as it approaches the end of autumn. Although it is only late autumn, there are already a few light snowfalls in the Medin Buch Mountains, and the whole mountain range is decorated with silver.

In the middle of the tent is a huge tent, decorated with all kinds of exquisite ornaments that can only be made by humans, gilded tassels. On the roof of the tent was a monster embroidered with a lion's head and tabby, a bear's body and a leopard's tail, long fangs like wild boars, and wolf-like claws. This is the totem of the beast god worshipped by the orcs, and this totem also represents the royal family of the orc empire.

At this time, there were three orcs sitting in the tent. One was a very large tiger man, the other was a very skinny fox man, and the last one was an orc with a lion's head and tabby. It was the orc who sealed the Demon Eye and went with Horn, and at this time he didn't have the spell that was painted all over his body last time. >
