Chapter 225: 100,000 Barbarians
Suddenly there was a glass house in the royal capital of Saigapur, which looked like a tower.
The house is made almost entirely of glass and metal, as well as many alchemical materials, which are quite expensive.
This was the first time that modernist-style architecture appeared, and it caused quite a stir. Soon the doors of the house were opened for anyone to see.
The room is filled with a variety of furniture, as well as ornate floors and frescoes. The style of decoration is also very different from today's.
Its appearance attracted many outstanding architects. After many inquiries, I learned that this was a building made by the emerging Mingfei Chamber of Commerce.
The house is an advertisement carefully planned by Bai Feifei.
For these architects, Bai Feifei threw an olive branch and used a lot of remuneration to attract them, and to those unruly and talented. Bai Feifei talked to them about their ideals.
She proposed to build a design school, and in commemoration, the name of the school was called 'Bauhaus', and it would hire the best designers in the world as mentors to teach knowledge to talented people for free.
As Bai Feifei's business grows bigger and bigger, she deeply feels that talent is the most important. In this world, the aristocracy with magical devices has a standard of living close to modern times, while those commoners, their standard of living has just reached the Middle Ages.
There are countless business opportunities here, and her ability to do so is limited, so how to grasp the business opportunities and create wealth has become a problem that bothers her.
After some hard thinking and meditation, Bai Feifei decided to cultivate talents by herself. The School of Design is just one of them, and she also singles out some elite members of the Chamber of Commerce to teach knowledge to many young people.
Most of these people are from the Leviathan family, that is, the royal family, and not all of the royal families have the talent for cultivation. There will also be people who are unable to practice.
At that time, Betty's father got rid of many brothers and chose to be merciful to their children.
After listening to Bai Feifei's suggestion, the king agreed very much, and generously took out a large amount of money to help Bai Feifei.
Seeing his business empire build up step by step. Bai Feifei was not very happy.
When she first came to this world, she was already dead, and later Lu Ming woke her up. began to understand the world, and when she first came into contact with the tip of its dark and cruel iceberg, Bai Feifei felt helpless.
She was not confident that she could really help Lu Ming.
But now that she has the results, Bai Feifei is dissatisfied. No amount of honor, without you by your side, it is not worth mentioning.
"People are really greedy, Brother Lu Ming, I really want to tie you to me. ”
Bai Feifei sat in the empty room and muttered softly, then shook her head again, thinking of Betty and other women, fighting with them, she was not enough to stuff her teeth.
...
"Her Royal Highness Princess!"
A soldier rushed in, and Betty sat on the top seat of the hall, frowning, "What's wrong? ”
"Your Highness, something is wrong! The scout reported that the barbarians led troops to attack the city, in all directions, there will be no less than 100,000 horses, and they will arrive at the city in two days!"
"What!?" Betty exclaimed, standing up.
Soon the stewards of the city were handed over to the hall to discuss countermeasures. Among them naturally includes Lu Ming.
Knowing that this was a huge crisis, Lu Ming put away his previous playful attitude and frowned and thought like everyone else.
"Tell me what you think. Betty was the first to speak.
"The barbarian army has come from afar, and it will definitely be tired, so it is better for us to attack first, and if we are taken by surprise, we will definitely be able to defeat them!" said one of the commanders.
Another commander disagreed.
"No! Barbarians are not ordinary people, they are so powerful that they do not feel tired because of the march. A rash attack may wipe out the entire army, so it is better to rely on a strong city wall to resist. Wait for the army to come to the rescue. ”
Betty is in the city, and it is impossible for the army to ignore it, and when the news arrives, reinforcements will definitely come. The elite armies are all in large forces, and it is easy to destroy these barbarians who have no cultivators and rely only on brute force.
Amelia pondered and said, "Have you ever wondered why the barbarians are here? In my opinion, they must have colluded with the Duchy of Thorn to reach some kind of agreement, and they know that Her Royal Highness is in the city, and they want to hinder the progress of the army to the south. Deploy troops for the Duchy of Sain and buy time for reinforcements to the royal capital. ”
Everyone nodded, and Amelia was always able to analyze the situation calmly.
"Your Highness, it is imperative to take down the enemy king in one fell swoop! If we are robbed by the Gru Empire because of the rescue, or if the Duchy of Thorn resurrects and finds a respite and drags the war on, we will regret it for the rest of our lives. Amelia suggested again.
Betty knew the importance of the matter, and immediately decided: "Immediately communicate with the commander through the magic device to inform them that they don't need to come for reinforcements!"
"Yes!" a waiting magician took the order.
Seeing that Betty had already made a decision, some of the newly surrendered nobles became worried, without reinforcements from a large army, how could they resist an army of 100,000 with only 20,000 troops in the city? Moreover, most of the 20,000 people were cavalry, and they had no experience in defending the city.
Among the new nobles, one of them had the highest title, an earl who had just inherited the title. It's different from the commanders who came from the ranks.
The Count speaks very slowly, as if he were speaking, and pays attention to grammar and pronunciation with precision.
"Your Highness, the barbarians are a barbarian race. They rejoice in public, they drink with the skulls of their loved ones, they never bathe, they are the most ignorant of the race. If the gates were breached, the consequences would be unimaginable. Your Highness, why don't we leave first, and the 20,000 troops will escort you, along with all the magnates, to the front to find the great army. ”
Betty snorted coldly in her heart, where did she not know his plans, since she was a captive who surrendered, she was naturally afraid of death in her heart. This time, too, I don't want to fall into the hands of the barbarians, who never accept captives except for women, as long as they are caught, they will be executed immediately. Only women will stay, as trophies.
Being a deserter? Betty never thought about it, but it was a solution, and once they were in the city, they couldn't run away if they wanted to.
When Betty was in a dilemma, she remembered that Lu Ming was sitting next to her, and she was in a panic just now, and she forgot about him.
Then she hooked the corners of her mouth, and lost the panic just now.
"What do you think? ”
All the people turned their eyes to Lu Ming, and they were looking forward to what advice this legendary earl would make?
Lu Ming didn't speak, but waited for Eve's answer. Just now he asked Eve what the solution was.
Eve said indifferently: "There are many ways, but I don't know which one the master wants to choose." ”
Just 100,000 barbarians, she really didn't pay attention to it.
