The words are divided into two ends, just as the war in the northern part of the Genoa Peninsula has come to an end, and the Chaos Evil has been routed into the chase and strangulation battle, and the Cato region that has been attacked by the fishmen is not peaceful.

As early as the outbreak of the Black Plague in the Genoese Peninsula, this area was put under military control after the arrival of the Pioneer Corps, and the local industry also entered the mode of supporting the war under the leadership of the Capet family, and several factories began to produce war materials at full strength to achieve self-sufficiency, but not only did not cause trouble, but caused a wave of "prosperity" due to the increase in orders.

Especially the workers, although they work a lot of overtime, they earn a lot of money, and everyone is satisfied.

However, this situation did not last long, and the situation changed subtly when the refugees from the Genoa Peninsula poured in, especially when a large number of refugees were skilled halflings who also needed to support their families.

Many of the workers were replaced with more mechanically sensitive halflings, and those guys brought with them the advanced technology of Port Chardon to make the factory owners laugh out loud in their dreams, but the workers who were forced to lay off were unhappy as victims of this wave of "professional upgrades".

They have taken aim at the refugees who have taken their jobs, and although there is no large-scale conflict between the two sides, there is no shortage of filth in private.

"I don't understand these complicated concepts, sir, you know, I'm just a rough guy who is good at playing with knives."

"How are you going to solve it?"

Due to the "factional characteristics" of the Wolf Venom Clan, it was naturally impossible for the thugs and the vampires promoted by the thugs to provide protection for this group of poor ghosts who could not squeeze out oil, so a few days after the coastline was attacked, the refugees were forced to form their own armed groups to defend the camp.

These high-quality manpower who have been cultivated on the territory of halflings are the precious resources we crave.

The Count waved his hand and sighed, saying:

"It's essentially a struggle for means of subsistence and jobs, and there are still so few factories in Cato that they can't meet the needs of the locals, let alone absorb the refugees.

Transencia is in great need of manpower.

"You're humiliating the Capets!"

When the pigs are too fat, it's time to serve them, and if you don't want to die, you either don't eat the trough in the first place, or you have to crash through the pen and rush into the wilderness.

The Count of Lyon immediately corrected the overly presumptuous rhetoric of the Transansians in front of him.

If this root contradiction is not resolved, even if there are no fools to make trouble, the suppressed conflict will one day erupt.

To put it mildly, after all, I was born roughly, but have you ever raised pigs? Lord Earl.

Huguenot, the old butler, nodded, and before he left, he asked again:

"Attitudes towards refugees are intensifying, and there must be someone behind the three fights in the vicinity of the camp yesterday alone, led by workers who have lost their jobs.

The Count of Lyons, sitting on his throne, leaned on his staff and asked:

"In what way would the Doge want the help of the Capetian family?"

In this case, it is impossible to expect the factory owners to help them, and the capitalists should not be expected to have a conscience in any world, and after coming and going, these refugees become the most undesirable people in the locality, and they are often annoyed by local gangs running in to find trouble.

"Yes, sir."

"Lady Paryn is a noble person in Transencia, when is it important enough for her to cross the border and come here at this time?"

She gave the best twenty years of her life to the old man in front of her, but unfortunately she still couldn't shake the absolute status of his son in his heart, and no matter how fierce a person was, there was a corner left in his heart.

Just as the Count was about to take a walk in the garden and think about how to deal with the refugees, his lover appeared in the light of teleportation and informed the Count of Lyon of the visitor's visit.

"But Cato is part of the Portia Confederation, and your Excellency, Transencia has a claim to it."

"Well, I lost my words, it's my fault."

The count's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed his cane and was about to leave the place, but Zuna sighed softly and gently took her lover's wrist, and sent him into the vicinity of the manor's parlor in a smooth teleportation.

The next king, willingly or not, will cut you down.

The Earl of Lyon learned about Brigadier Frazier's encounter on the battlefield from Sir Parin, who had specially visited with news, and when he heard that his child was contaminated by Chaos, the Earl's fierce expression made Lady Parin, who was half of barbarian blood, feel a little frightened, but after seeing the video brought by Sir Parin, confirming that Frazier had received the best treatment and recovered, the Earl calmed down again.

In addition, in order to prevent the intensification of low-level grievances, the Capet family arranged a temporary camp for human refugees in the Genoa Peninsula near the coast.

In addition, you can handle the search, but the steps of law enforcement are handed over to the Judge Advocate General of the Pioneer Corps, so that they can deal with this group of black sheep quickly and strictly, you know, Huguenot, the loyal Capet family never encroaches on His Majesty's regulations, and must always pay attention to the good image of the family. ”

The Dorod Fortress near Lake Shulpers has been besieged by a large number of fishmen, putting it on alert, and the Pioneer Legion soldiers stationed here are already stretched thin to maintain the connection between the Cato region and the Genoa Peninsula and land transportation, and cannot spare manpower to defend the refugee camp, and the Wolf Poison Clan, which controls the local gray area, is willing to help, but the problem is that the refugees cannot afford to pay "protection money".

They have indeed become a source of unease in the Cato region, but they cannot be so simple and rude to solve the problem with weapons. ”

Watching Count Leon walk into the hall regardless of his manners, the Teleportation Master's expression was a little gloomy.

He let out a sigh of relief, and thanked Sir Parren as he summoned Roune to arrange his travels.

However, although the kingdom's industry was progressing rapidly, the development of various regions was uneven, and the policy was biased towards the development of new industries in the newly occupied East Pruos, where human resources were also abundant, and there was no need for us to transport local manpower there.

The idea of the factory owners is always very simple, with the abundant human resources in the Cato area, even if their factories are to be expanded, they will give priority to recruiting locals, and the wages and other things are already very low, unless those refugees do not need money and only a bite to eat, otherwise they have no advantage over the locals in terms of cost performance.

On my way here, I saw local workers storming refugee camps under the leadership of ruffians, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of behavior is absolutely worthy of gallows in Translasia, but I guess the Cato region has its own national situation.

This was meant to be a well-intentioned way for the refugees to feed themselves on the catch of the shoreline, but as a direct result, the poor creatures suffered a second blow when the Dagon Fish people infested along the shoreline.

"You can denounce the disloyalty of the Wolf Poison clan to King Louis and force a border war to start immediately, or you can pretend not to know about it and at some point in the future go along with the will of the people and make a doomed choice to stop the war and protect the people."

Sir Parlian whispered:

"Our governor will not allow it to remain in the hands of the Plantagenet Kingdom forever, just as the Scarlet Archon claimed Kavhoka in front of the wolf woman, I will claim sovereignty over the Cato region before you.

This time the thanks were full of sincere feelings, and once again confirmed the rumor that Fraser was the lifeblood of the Count of Lyon.

She played with the blood-red ring on her finger and said to the Count of Lyon:

Sir Parlian still had the appearance of five big and three coarse, but she spoke calmly and steadily, and she had long since lost the humble posture of the small businessman at the beginning, and was replaced by the steadiness and grandeur of a government official.

Lord Parrence shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Loyalty is one thing, self-preservation is another.

Greene province is short of people, but the problem is that the cost of sending them there is so high that I am scared.

"Yes, sir."

You see, you can solve a troublesome thing, and your partner can get benefits, and that's called a win-win situation. ”

An independent region that does not belong to the Kingdom of Plantagenet and does not belong to Transasia, a trade area ruled by vampires and ancient nobles, the Doge has made an agreement with the Grand Duke of Wolfvenom, Lord Earl. ”

However, these guys had taken refuge from the more affluent Genoa peninsula, and they had been treated much better in the halfling factories than in the local factories, and the demands of those guys were enough to make the local factory owners feel ridiculous, not to mention satisfying them.

Runa whispered:

"Your son. Something went wrong. ”

“？”

"But I've only seen Transncia win twice, and Cato has lost manpower, and maybe there will be some border conflicts."

But the Doge was a great man who loved peace, and unlike East Pruus, which we had to take back, Cato could exist in another way.

"I know you must have come with some request from Governor Murphy, and while I am very upset to include my son in this bargain, I must admit that I owe Governor Murphy a favor that cannot be repaid.

"Transnica welcomes such an excellent business giant as the Capet family to integrate into the business circle of Translancia, especially after the end of the Black Plague, the connection between the two sides should be closer, but these things are just for your instructions, and the specific situation will be connected by professionals from both sides.

She said:

The next treasurer of Translancia stood up.

The Count of Lyon took off his monocle and wiped it in his hand with a rich handkerchief, and he whispered:

"The removal of these moths, both for His Majesty and for the family, is beneficial and harmless, and by the way, the evidence of the guilt of these self-enriching fellows is collected and made public at the time of execution, and the people are always happy to see such actions.

As a civilian, she knows that this kind of opportunity to "change her life against the sky" is only once, and if she misses it, it will be completely doomed.

The old butler shrugged his shoulders and said:

But as a wise woman, she didn't try to sway the Count's mind or do anything foolishly to Fraser.

"From my father's generation, the Capetian family has been a staunch king, and we are loyal to our majesty."

To make matters worse, she had also read the report sent back by the Pioneer Corps, and the Chaos Evil had spread pollution in the northern part of the peninsula, poisoning large swaths of land, and these refugees could not return to their homeland.

He sensed that the merchants were overthinking.

The old butler turned and left, and got into a carriage that was even more luxurious than the factory owner just now.

Sir Parlian smiled, and she continued:

"As the provisional governor sent here by King Louis, you are supposed to work for the long-term peace and stability of the country, and since the refugees of the Genoa Peninsula have become a source of instability, you must find a way to deal with this mine before it explodes.

You as a local host"

Although he is only a butler and a nominal servant, the resources he controls are already comparable to those of ordinary earls and nobles, which is the most important reason why this mercenary assassin, who has been licking blood for the first half of his life, is willing to follow the Count of Lyon when he is old.

Especially in wartime, we need to unite the majority.

"So, let's get rid of these worms inside of us."

"We hope that the Capet family will build more factories in Transencia to further deepen the business cooperation between the two sides."

As long as you have some skills, you can live quite well in the Cato area, which has a strong business atmosphere, and will be regarded as a treasure by various factory owners, but those Genoese humans who follow the halflings to the Cato area are very embarrassed.

At the hearing of Sir Parin's name, Leon immediately became serious, and he asked:

The Count leaned on his cane, shook his head, and said to the old butler beside him, who was expressionless:

Three refugee camps were breached on the night the Dagon Fishers attacked the coast, killing and wounding nearly a hundred before the ugly bastards were driven out with the help of the local militia, but that was only the beginning of the problem.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had already joined the Capettian family's business system while his father was still alive, the Count would definitely have taken his place to the end with the stupid suggestions that this old bastard had just made.

She took out the letter with Murphy's signature from her bosom and handed it to the Count of Lyon.

However, the act touched the fragile nerves of the local factory owners.

Need me to help you with this? ”

Perhaps it was because he had done too much to do something that had caused him to have a ghost in his heart, but in short, more than one person was begging him to find a way to expel the mob that was becoming more and more dangerous.

Like the arrogant longing hidden in the heart of the Count of Lyon, Jouna has her own plans.

What a bunch of fattened pigs! ”

"But King Louis will always die, and as far as I know, that His Majesty has been addicted to wine since his youth, and his health is not optimistic."

Just because you snatched it doesn't mean you can have it, and war is the most reasonable option for fighters who want to regain their dignity!

Not only because he had followed Lord Kudel to fight in all directions, but also because the Count of Lyon could give him far more rewards than others.

"She brought news about Frazier."

There are already contradictions between locals and refugees, and it is not once or twice that the two sides have clashed.

As a patron of the local merchants, the Count of Lyon has been dealing with these matters for the past two days.

The Count also stood up and scolded:

They are already vulnerable when they leave their hometowns, and now they are being targeted by the locals with bad voices, and they have already held back their fire.

What is the 12-hour work system, what resident doctors provide free medical care, what staff dormitories.

Haven't heard of it!

I've never heard of it!

Let these guys continue to stay in the local area and spread those dangerous ideas, maybe they will also take the local hard-working workers and drive them away! They must all be driven away!

"These rat-eyed bastards!"

The next king will also have his loyalists whom he will be treated with a dear treat, and when it is no longer possible to continue to expand the war and gain external gains, you will be able to give everything in the name of loyalty to the country in order to feed his loyal subjects.

In a wooded manor near the fortress of Dorod, the Count of Lyon had just sent off a well-dressed old factory owner, and the false smile on Count Leon's face disappeared as the latter got into the carriage.

Half-body people are okay, they have the "core competitiveness".

The Capetian family is so large that you have become a behemoth hidden in the Plantagenet kingdom under the indulgence of King Louis.

"Be careful! Sir Parin, Cato is part of the Plantagenet Kingdom, and only King Louis is the master of this land, and the Capetian family is only the humble servants of the king, entrusted with the duty and mission of governing the province. ”

"Lyon, Sir Parlian of the Batasin's Chamber of Commerce has come to visit."

"No wonder the profits of the factory he is responsible for have been declining year after year, it seems that stupid thinking in power will not only bring uneasiness but also loss of profits, you should go for it. Solve this matter and arrange for a more suitable person to take the position. ”

Therefore, say it, Sir Parryn. ”

The Count of Lyon shook his head and said:

"It's not in your Majesty's interest, so I can't agree to it."

The real purpose of my presence today is to invite you to join us in resolving the current refugee problem in the Kato region.

"He actually suggested that I leave the refugee camp alone and let the fish-man take care of all the troubles for us, you listen! The perennial pampering has made the once shrewd brain stupid, and now he is not even qualified to be a bad guy.

There are truths that cannot be told, especially in a feudal country with a strong monarch.

She has adopted a rather clever strategy and taken the initiative to close her relationship with Fraser, which has worked well so far, and the heir of the Capet family has not resisted Jouna becoming his elder, but she has to work a little harder to win enough power for her future children in the current situation.

"You just have to tell me where my blade should go, and I'll bring you victory after victory, and that's what I'm good at."

You think your ambitions are well hidden, but you don't really need to hide them at all, and anyone with a little brain knows that it's only a matter of time before the Capets rebel is in trouble.

There are some realities that cannot be solved by the word loyalty, Your Excellency the Earl, prepare for it in advance. ”
