85_85536 That's it, that's it. Day after day, I heard news from the Scout Cavalry. The movement of the displaced forces proved to be slower than expected.

They're like snails, slower. At its fastest, moving about five kilometers a day is the limit. When it's slow, it's also possible to walk a distance of two or three kilometers a day. And the most important thing is that a heavy snowfall on January 14 made the group almost stop. Under the great power of heaven and earth, the rogues could only stop and huddle in a mass in the town they had temporarily breached.

They didn't have enough warm clothing, so they had to do it. And even then, their situation is just as bad.

There are simply not enough houses in the town for the displaced people to live in. And many of these houses were destroyed and burned in the chaos that followed the breaching of the town.

The vast majority of people live in makeshift shacks. And the little food that is left is about to be exhausted.

After receiving such information that could almost be said to be inexplicable, William was speechless for a while.

According to this situation. I am afraid that if these rogues will not be able to reach the battlefield he has predetermined, they will freeze to death, and most of them will starve to death. The rest of the men won't have much strength to fight. They're afraid they'll just rush up and kill these guys who don't even have the strength to walk.

"Could it be that this rebellion will end with such a black humor in the end?" Thinking of this, William was in a trance for a while. It wasn't until Charlumi asked her question again that William had only felt that Charlumi's ability to think had dropped a lot lately. Every time, every time, no matter what happened, her first instinct was to go to William, and then ask William to give her ideas.

It's okay to do something like this once or twice. But after too many things, William had a certain sense of worry. If too many such things are done, then the future of Charlumi is really a bit worrying......

"But for now, at least for now, there should be no problem...... Right?" So, William put this worry down for a moment. Then he said, "Let's stop the gathering of peasant soldiers for the time being." However, the reservists and guards should be ready. At the same time, continue to pay attention to the other party's movements. ”

"Hmm. Charlumi nodded, then said, "Still, in the worst possible light. We're already invincible, aren't we? Now we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"Ahh William nodded, agreeing with Charlumie's words.

"So, a game of hand talk? Now the snow is so big. I can't do anything else. Xia Lumi then said. William only noticed for a moment that the maid next to her had a chessboard in her hand, as well as chess pieces.

"Uh...... Well. William, who originally wanted to say, "Shouldn't you care about the snow disaster in the territory?"

This moment is not the 21st century, the snow disaster affects the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, and then the national leaders or something take a plane to condole. Then it is easy to mobilize a large number of military coats, quilts, tents, and various relief materials that are not available in preparation for World War III. Then I have to call on everyone to donate money for them to go to the sea and sky feast or something......

The current William really doesn't have this ability. In this era, there was also no habit of stockpiling cotton, stockpiling cotton, stockpiling all kinds of disaster relief materials. William could do nothing about it. So William is also a clever woman, and it is difficult for her to cook without rice.

In addition, this kind of "disaster relief" behavior will make people feel "very strange". Because all the nobles in this world currently do not have the idea of giving medicine and building bridges and roads. William defied the world's condemnation for a while. Not a good thing for himself.

"Now we can only count on the farmers to work on their own. William thought to himself. It's because he's so uncomfortable about it. So when I played chess the next time, I was very absent-minded. So much so that he will always lose to Charlumie.

It's lost a lot like this, and Xia Lumi is a guy who can't speak and has an unforgiving mouth. After she happily counted William's two sentences, William temporarily let go of the great feeling of worrying about the world and began to play chess seriously.

"Oh, are you finally getting serious?" said Charlumi with an excited look. This made William feel a sense of disobedience.

It is clear that Chersk is her territory. Obviously, the Celtsk Countate has just suffered a very severe snowstorm. But Charlumi didn't seem to be worried at all. This strong sense of disobedience made William feel very uncomfortable. At the same time, looking at Xia Lumi's eyes, it also became very unfamiliar......

"What are you doing, aren't you happy after winning a few games?"

William's scrutinizing gaze, as if looking at a sinner, made Charlumi feel it very keenly. So, the girl who felt very unhappy complained like this.

"That's not what I meant. William then turned his head away and stopped looking at the guy.

He also knew that it wasn't Charlumi who was strange. It's not Charlumi who did the wrong thing. On the contrary, strangely, he was the one who did the wrong thing. It is that he is out of step with the world, and that his thinking violates the basic common sense of the world.

As a lord, no one can blame Charomi, and no one can blame Charumi. And if William were to say what he was coming up with now, then even Charlumie, who was obedient to him, would look at him with very strange eyes. And will suspect that William's brain is broken.

In the final analysis, this is due to a lack of productivity. The land and the land cannot satisfy people's appetites. The textile industry, on the other hand, produces fabrics and clothing that cannot meet people's basic clothing needs. In this case, it is incorrect and even immoral to talk about charity and obligation. Such behavior is contrary to objective reality, and naturally, this consciousness will not be accepted.

"So, there's a lot more I should be doing. William sighed imperceptibly. And then by the way, the general - although he said that he played chess half-heartedly. But as long as you adjust about half of the mental attention on the chessboard, it is enough to deal with two knives like Xia Lumi.

And in addition to that, there is a bit of a downside to this, and that is because William only used half of his spirit. So I couldn't notice the manipulation of the chess game.

Originally, the old version of William's chess strength was much stronger than that of Shalumi - after all, he was a scholar-type child, and Shalumi was a martial artist. And after the William version is upgraded and strengthened, the logical thinking ability has been enhanced a lot. Coupled with the bonus of spiritual reading ability, his learning ability is naturally fatal.

Therefore, at this moment, William's chess strength can already form a crushing advantage over Xia Lumi. And usually, in order to make Xia Lumi happy, William will consciously control the trend of the future. Let Charlumi form an illusion of "I'm about the same as William". After all, an economy game doesn't require too many two people to play.

And this time, because of William's carelessness in playing chess, the real chess strength was revealed. Although it was only half of the real chess power, it was enough to abuse eighty Xia Lumi.

Therefore, the more Xia Lumi plays chess, the more ugly her face becomes, and the more she plays chess, the more ugly her face becomes. It's getting more and more ugly, and it's getting more and more ugly, and I'm about to cry after a while.

"That step doesn't count, you wait a minute, wait a minute—" So Charlumi tried to play tricks.

"No, I can't. Once you get there, you can't go back. William protected the chessboard and prevented Charlumi from touching the pieces.

"Can't you be accommodating, aren't you...... too rigid," Charlumi muttered unhappily.

"You've won two games against me before, and I didn't say anything. William wasn't happy either.

"Ah, that, that'...... Anyway, can't you let me do a little?!" It doesn't feel like William. So Charlumi began to lose her temper.

But it's a pity that William is not the kind of person who will back down when he sees a girl playing a temper.

"No! No, no, no. I'm a very strict person. It's not like you're accommodating just because she's Charlotine. Okay, that's it for this game. Let's start the next round?"

William's last sentence was uttered in a questioning tone. Because he is familiar with more Charlottes. This guy is always here and there. He won so badly at this moment, naturally in a short period of time, it was impossible to want to play chess again.

"No, no, no. Sure enough, it was like what William thought. Charlumi pushes the board. After that, I said that there was a lack of interest.

"So what do we do next?" asked William.

“...... Well, there's not much to do. Charlumi said with a frown.

"By the way, two caravans from the north came here the other day. Let's go meet the merchants. ”

So, William said.

"Merchant......" Charlumi looked disinterested: "What good can that be......

"Generally speaking, businessmen always bring news from afar, and new and strange things. William said.

"It's just boring legends. It's been exaggerated dozens of times more than something that can be believed. Charlumi continued.

"We're not bored right now. And other than that, I'm quite interested in their products. ”

"What goods?" said Shalumi, who was immediately interested, and then asked, "Jewelry, beautiful clothes." Novel or toy?"

"It's munitions. So William replied
