Chapter 218: The Food Problem
The city was called Gotha and belonged to the Gwett family, and was an important point on the southern frontier of the Duchy of Sain. That's why the enemy will send a heavy army to defend it. I didn't want to be destroyed by Eve, so I picked up a bargain.
If Prince Leon had come here earlier, no Eve would have appeared. In order to win, the Principality of Bosse had to storm the city, and tens of thousands of soldiers died at that time.
Amelia succeeded in her father's command, and she sent 5,000 men to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties. Three thousand men were sent to patrol the city to inform the people that the city had been broken and that they were now the rulers of the city.
When the city was attacked, law and order was so poor that the Duchy of Sein could not draw soldiers to maintain law and order. As a result, many lawbreakers began to burn, kill, and loot, and good civilians were robbed, injured, and even humiliated.
After the city was destroyed, many deserters hid in the city without a chance to leave. They may take revenge on the driver, or they may loot some food and belongings and slip away.
Therefore, Amelia spared no effort to maintain law and order, and the remaining soldiers were all assembled at the two exits of the city, and if any suspicious person went out, they would be carefully interrogated.
The soldiers Lu Minggang subdued were responsible for the security of the City Lord's Mansion, which suffered minimal damage and basically maintained its original gorgeous appearance.
Gotha City is a large city in the north of the Duchy of Sain, so the city lord's palace is extremely magnificent, and Betty is very satisfied with it.
"I can finally sleep in a comfortable big bed!"
Betty took off her armor and lay on her back on the large bed covered with animal skins, and Amelia served her to take off her shoes and bring out a basin of water to wipe the dirt off her face.
After doing all this, when Amelia looked up, she found that Her Royal Highness the princess had already fallen asleep, and not only chuckled, these days were very hard. Even she was a little unbearable, not to mention Her Royal Highness the princess who was well-dressed and well-fed on weekdays.
Quietly exiting the room, Amelia gently closed the door.
"So you're here, and I'm looking for you. Lu Ming strode from outside.
Amelia made a silent gesture and whispered that Betty had fallen asleep.
Lu Ming had no choice but to whisper to her that there were a large number of refugees in the city who were in urgent need of food, so he wanted to open a warehouse for relief.
Amelia flatly refused: "The food in the city was requisitioned by the enemy, and it has nothing to do with us. Moreover, food is extremely important in war, and we have to protect our own soldiers first, then prisoners, and then enemy people. ”
Lu Ming had a half-long mouth, but he didn't come up with a reason to refute it. In this world, there will be relationships that are distant and intimate, and there are people who are their own and who don't matter.
In fact, Amelia was in a bad mood at this time, according to intelligence, there was a strong army in front of the obstruction, called the Lino Infantry Regiment, and its corps was mostly spearmen, and it was extremely strong in suppressing the cavalry. The heavily armed spearmen built with a lot of money are definitely a nightmare for cavalry.
The Principality of Posei is most proud of its cavalry, and aside from the Ice Knights, nearly half of the 200,000 troops are cavalry.
This is related to the fact that successive kings attached great importance to cavalry, and the Duchy of Posei was not rich in horses, so these horses were purchased from neighboring countries. No matter how much money you spend, you have to build a group of cavalry.
The appearance of the Lino Infantry Regiment was not good news for their side, but it was expected.
There was an agreement between the Duchy of Posei and the Gelug Empire that whoever took the capital of the Duchy of Seon first would have priority in disposing of the southern frontier.
Now the Principality of Bosai has conquered the entire north, and the Gelug Empire has also fallen to the entire western territory. It is only one step away from the royal capital.
The good news is that the army of the Principality of Thain to reinforce the beast tide has been sent back to China, and 50,000 elite soldiers are going to pass through the territory of the Gru Empire, and now that the two countries are at war, the Gru Empire has to send troops to obstruct it. In this way, it will not be possible to attack the royal capital with all its might.
There's still a chance!
Amelia's eyes lit up, she regained her confidence, and when she looked up, she found that Lu Ming had long since disappeared. It turned out that I had just thought about something wrong.
couldn't help feeling guilty, Lu Ming gave her a new thought, and she hadn't reciprocated it properly, but she coldly rejected his proposal.
A corner of the City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Ming said to Eve on his shoulder: "Beauty, I want you to do something for me." ”
Eve turned into a human form and burst out laughing, "If the master has something to do, you make Eve so uncomfortable." ”
Lu Ming scratched his head, "I think I'm going to do something stupid." These civilians can't die without help, so I thought of a way, which is to go to the nearby Warcraft Forest, hunt low-level Warcraft, and transport their corpses to the royal capital, so as to solve the food problem of the people. ”
Eve smiled: "Giving the common people the meat of the Warcraft? ”
Seeing that Lu Ming had some signs of anger, Eve immediately said: "Of course Eve's fate, but you also know that the space equipment has is not large, at most it can store the flesh of two demonic beasts, and the refugees in the city have tens of thousands, so if you calculate it, you need more than a thousand demonic beasts." ”
At this time, Marbury came out of the ring, and at this time, he had just devoured some of the souls of the Holy Demon Master, and his aura soared, and even Lu Ming felt that he didn't dare to look at it directly.
Eve's eyes narrowed slightly, and Marbury quickly reined in his momentum and turned back into the gray-haired old man he had been.
"The old slave has a way. After killing the beasts, I can unleash the necromantic magic and turn them into an army of the dead, allowing them to enter the city on their own, saving a lot of effort. ”
This method is indeed feasible, Lu Ming frowned and said, "Isn't it too evil and disgusting?
Marbury said: "Please also rest assured that in essence, their flesh has not changed, and I only control the bones. As long as you don't get discovered, you're fine. ”
Lu Ming was relieved that as long as he informed the guards, he would let them go at that time, or let them gather outside the city and then ship them to the city.
With his approval, Marbury was ordered to go to the Warcraft Forest.
Looking at his distant back, Lu Ming asked, "Aren't you afraid that he will run away?" He is a necromancer, and if he makes trouble, there will be endless troubles. ”
Eve smiled: "Don't worry, master, I have put five soul chains on him, sealed in the depths of his soul, as long as I trigger them, I can make his life worse than death." Even if he becomes a lich one day, he will still obey my commands. ”
Lu Ming nodded, "It doesn't matter whether he obeys orders or not, as long as he doesn't do evil." ”
On the battlefield, he finally saw the power of magicians, and any magic could take more than a dozen lives. Necromancers are the most advanced beings among magicians, and necromancer magic is ancient and mysterious, with unfathomable powers.
Fortunately, Marbury is not an enemy.
