Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 330 Infiltration of the Witch Kingdom

Borderlands of the Witch Kingdom.

Here, the three border cities are very close, blocking the opposite human fortress.

Relying on the three cities, the witches blocked Ji Ling's attack before, and now they also rely on the city to block the expansion of Qinghe Territory.

But at this time, the Qinghe leader had no intention of expanding in a short period of time, which also made the witches stationed in this border city feel a lot easier.

The enemy doesn't attack, and you don't need to dispatch yourself, which saves the danger, and you can practice for a longer time.But under such circumstances, the witches didn't even know that the opponent had changed their opponent.

It wasn't until a flag of Qinghe collar and the flag of the Yellow Turban Legion floated over the city that a gold-ranked witch in charge of the three cities realized something was wrong.

Thus, this gold-ranked witch summoned the powerful silver-ranked witches from the three subordinate cities and started a meeting.

In the conference room of this fortress, headed by a gold-ranked witch, three city lords are on both sides, and there are also a group of silver-ranked witches from various departments under their subordinates.

"Sisters, our opponent has changed in the past two months, that is to say, the Zhongjiaguo on the opposite side has been wiped out by other people." The gold-ranked witch said.

At this time, the gold-ranked witch was wearing a long cyan dress, long light cyan hair, and a pair of cyan pupils, and there was a gust of breeze fluttering between walking, sitting, and lying down.

"Next, we don't know what the situation of the new forces on the opposite side is, so we need to prepare for battle. In the past few months, sisters, be busy and be careful."

"no problem."

On the side, a witch with cat ears and cat tail nodded.

"We understand that it is absolutely impossible for those people to enter our witch kingdom."

"No problem." On the side, the other two witches also nodded.

"However, do we want to get in touch with the other side to see their strength?" At this moment, a silver-ranked witch stood up and said to everyone.

"Sister Feng, the place they occupied was originally the battle zone between our witch kingdom and the mage council. Let's try the original Zhongjia country and take advantage of our unpreparedness. Now that we have the strength, we have grown more and more over the years. A few golden witches, why don't you take this opportunity to recapture that area."

"Don't be careless." The leading witch named Feng looked serious and rejected the witch's proposal.

"Although we now have a few more golden witches, the enemies we face are not limited to our side. Don't forget that across the mountain in the north of the kingdom, there is a god who has been coveting us and wants to turn us into Be a believer.

Moreover, those forces on the sea are also ready to move and want to plunder the coastline. The golden witches in our witch kingdom are all on the border. Now is not a good time to start a war. "

"Okay." Regarding Feng's explanation, the witch curled her lips and sat down helplessly.

"Now, the cities are strengthening their defenses, and at the same time, they are sending out sisters with lurking abilities to scout the enemy's border. First, let's see the situation on the other side." The Wind Witch said.

"But these sisters are just going to investigate, don't take the initiative to attack." In the end, the Golden Witch called Feng thought of something and warned a few words.

Because in the Kingdom of Witches, the number of witches is still very small compared to the large number of citizens, so the garrison troops and security personnel in various places are divided into men and women.

Only the elite troops belonging to witches will be stationed at the border. The entire witch kingdom is located in the corner area of ​​this foggy land, with a length of more than 300 kilometers and a width of more than 200 kilometers. The number is only 500, less than one percent.

Taking advantage of the darkness, each of the three cities sent a small team to look at the situation in Qinghe collar along the border area.

These teams are all composed of witches, and they all have three to five people.

On a border line, looking at the opposite border, there are not only patrolling soldiers, but also guard towers, bunkers, barbed wire, and trenches. It can be said that the line of defense is very tight.

On one side of the line of defense, the soldiers of Qinghe collar were patrolling along the line of defense, but not far away, in a forest, three witches were lurking here.

The leader, a black-haired witch as the captain, looked at the two sisters beside him and said in a low voice.

"I've taken control of the darkness around me, making it easier for us to hide, and now we're going through."

Following behind the black-haired witch, the two witches went through the night together and passed through the defense line. After a group of patrolling soldiers passed by, the three of them quickly passed through a trench and entered the forest behind the border.

In the area where they were located, the surrounding dark forests became even darker, as if the black had condensed.

Such a smooth crossing of the border, a witch wearing a black cloak next to the black-haired witch chuckled.

"Sister Ying, it seems that the opponent this time is not very strong, so he has not been discovered."

"Sister Ying is more powerful." A witch on the other side also said with a smile. "The ability to absorb light and make the surroundings dark is very suitable for lurking."

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's move on, in the enemy's territory, we must pay attention to prevent accidents."

Relying on their own abilities, the three witches successfully crossed the heavily fortified border, and then one of the witches summoned the birds around to point out the way for a group of people, avoiding the patrol stations in the mountains along the way, and passing through the defense line of Qinghe collar. within the territory of Qinghe.

At this time, because Yamashita County surrendered and took over, there was no war.And because Di Feng did not resist in the entire Shanxia County, he treated the families in Shanxia County relatively leniently.

Except for a few people who were really guilty and punished, the others were fined and their land was divided. In fact, nothing was moved in the family property. These family landlords can still use the money to do business, at least they are still alive. It's okay.

Moreover, those officials, except those who were corrupt, the rest of the small officials, county government servants, etc. were all retained, and given certain positions, which allowed Shanxia County to advance to the development stage of Shouchun County and Nanyang County.

When the officials sent by Qinghe Territory arrived here, the first thing they did was to rectify the administration of officials, divide duties, add new departments, and bring in the laws of Qinghe Territory.

In this way, starting from the village, village chiefs, militia captains and others selected at the village level form village-level self-government, and also accept the leadership of the superior.

According to the previous town-level plan, a town-level government affairs office was established to determine the lowest-level official system.Some small officials who were unsatisfactory in the county before became officials of a township department.

At the same time, the county-level government affairs department assigned tasks to the subordinate departments, and the entire county was running like a lubricated gear, and it was getting faster and faster.

Hospitals, schools, militia recruitment, security personnel recruitment, elimination of landlords and bullies, encirclement and suppression of gangs, sinking the rights of the territory to the villages, ensuring that the entire county's government orders are consistent, one after another makes these counties look brand new, those people They also gradually saw the development in the territory.

At the same time, the county magistrates encouraged the development of workshops and commerce according to the planning of Qinghe Ling, abolished the city gate tax, abolished the labor service system, spent money to recruit people to build bridges and roads, and re-judged those criminals, among whom the lighter ones were incorporated into the labor force Carry out labor reform.

Felony criminals were organized and sent to the mines, and a group of landlords, bullies and gangsters were cleared out because of the previous act of cleaning up the county. These people happened to form the labor force.

These people don't need a comfortable environment, nor do they need too much remuneration. As long as they guarantee clothing, food and names, they are almost free labor. Of course, petty criminals still have a small amount of remuneration.

When they are released from prison, they will be paid in one lump sum according to the number of days they have worked, and their sentences will be reduced to a certain extent according to their performance during labor. Get out as soon as possible.

Therefore, the construction speed of the entire county is very fast.

And within a few months, at least four guards and border defense regiments in each county were established, and the county town also had a brigade of city guards.

And on this day, Nanguan County of Shanxia County, as a county seat next to the Misty Territory on the opposite side, has a small population, but with the Qinghe Territory's troops stationed here.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, basic necessities of food, housing, and transportation all require a large amount of supplies from the rear, and most of these supplies will stay in this county close to the pass.

Over time, there has been a relatively prosperous market here. Soldiers who went out to rest during the army's vacation spent money in the county town, which led to economic prosperity in the county town.

Coupled with the important geographical location, the county magistrate here is also one of the few county magistrates with strong capabilities in the entire Yamashita County.

With the prosperity of business, although it is relatively close to the border, it also ushered in a wave of population flow growth.

When the three investigation teams of the Witch Shop crossed the border in different ways and entered the county, they discovered that the opposite county was more prosperous than he had imagined.

On both sides of the inner streets of the county, there are various shops and various food sales, and the traffic of vehicles is dense, making the witches who enter the city a little overwhelmed.

"Wow, is that the new force that is in charge of governance here? Does it look very good?" After the witch dressed in disguise, she looked at the surrounding environment, a little surprised.

"The better the enemy's situation is, the more he is a big enemy to us." At this time, Ying, the leader, looked serious.

"Let's go to the restaurant, first inquire about the situation here, and make plans."

As the place where the news circulates the most, that is teahouses and restaurants.

Since they infiltrated into Qinghe collar at night, the three of them didn't eat much. They happened to inquire about the news and had dinner together.

There is a good restaurant in Nanguan County, and when the three of Dangying entered, it instantly lit up the whole place.

After all, it is a practitioner who can become a witch, and his appearance will become beautiful with the practice. Although it is not a change of appearance, for example, the skin becomes smooth, there are no wrinkles, the hair is shiny, and the appearance is exquisite. A burst of temperament makes every witch a beauty.

The three beautiful girls walked into the restaurant, which was a rare sight for the merchants in the city.However, after Qing Heling took over, the law and order improved, and all the gangsters were arrested. Even if three people showed up, no one stepped forward to disturb them.

"Please, ladies and gentlemen."

Seeing that the three were dressed in exquisite clothes and looked very good, they were not ordinary people at first glance. The restaurant staff immediately came forward and brought the three of them to a good place on the second floor.

Serving the tea, the waiter asked with a hint of respect in his tone.

"You guys want to eat something."

"Here are some special dishes." After speaking, Ying took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the shop assistant.

"Okay, the food will be served soon, please wait a moment."

The store clerk looked at the silver paid by several people, glanced at the shadows, put away the silver, and left quickly.

Walking down the restaurant, the waiter found the shopkeeper in a low voice and explained the situation in a low voice.

"Shopkeeper, there is a table of guests above who gave a piece of silver as payment, what should we do?"

"silver."

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, took the silver and looked at it, and then thought about the looks of the girls before.

"I'm afraid these people are those witches. You go to stabilize a few people first, don't show it, you can say whatever they ask, let the back kitchen prepare a few dishes, and I will notify the county government."

"Okay, shopkeeper."

With the shopkeeper making up his mind, the guy settled down and left the counter.

And the shopkeeper himself also found another guy, and asked him to leave quietly through the back door and go to the county government to find someone.

After the Qinghe Territory took over, it set a rule that only rune currency can be used in the entire Qinghe Territory, and the original copper coins, silver and gold cannot be used as currency circulation.

Among them, gold can be kept as jewelry, but silver must be fully handed over, and there must be no private possession.

Of course, these confiscations are not robbery. The Qinghe collar has set up money houses in the subordinate counties, and they can exchange a certain amount of rune currency for the confiscated silver and gold.

Moreover, based on [-]% of the current market price of Qinghe Ling, these people will basically not be at a disadvantage, and those other types of copper coins are also exchanged according to the copper content of the copper coins and the price situation.

And this policy came along with the rule of the Qinghe Territory. For this policy, as long as there is a unified and exquisite currency that cannot be imitated, and the currency itself has a certain value, the common people and merchants will have no problem.

And now this policy has been implemented for several months. At the beginning, there was still gold and silver circulating in the market, but as time went by, it was all rune currency.

But now, in the restaurant is the silver currency, which is required by the territory and must be handed over without any private possession of metal, and there are still people keeping it, so there must be something wrong with these people.

And the three of them are all beautiful girls, they don't look like locals, and in Nanguan County, the witch kingdom is opposite, and the people here know some information about the opposite side.

Through these details, the shopkeeper quickly judged that this might be a witch.
