Riding and Slashing

Chapter 391 The war has begun
On the night of Li Ang's wedding, Klose brought a group of old brothers to listen to the wall - this is a traditional program that has always existed in every place, even the king's wedding cannot be avoided...

After all, Lisa Dilan, who is in charge of security and defense work, is also listening to the root of the wall...

But Sadilan is still very responsible, he didn't mix with Klose and the others-he was on duty at the back door.

Of course, it's normal to lie under the wall and observe while on duty...

But what they heard was not some beautiful movement, but a very serious 'family meeting'...

"Great lords from all over the world came to watch the ceremony, and the trade with Fieldsway and Ravencrow has resumed. Alina is spreading the news everywhere. If there is no accident, the carriages made by the Noldor will soon be popular across the continent. , the real estate in Changhe City should also attract many people to come to work and settle down..."

Li Ang sat on the carpet and fanned the wind. What he used to fan the wind were several armistice agreements--peace and trade contracts signed with Fieldsway and Ursula's territory.

"I don't quite understand why you want to run the carriage now, shouldn't you focus on storing food?"

Wendy leaned on Amy, and asked while rubbing her forehead against Amy's chest.

"Because the transportation problem must be solved first, if many people have horse-drawn carriages, then ordinary people can also transport food or other supplies to us, and will not be restricted by noble lords. The Changhe Express has reopened, and it is also In order to solve this problem."

Amy stretched out her hand to hold Wendy to keep her from moving, and explained while playing with Wendy's slightly curly long hair.

"Then what am I going to do now? I'm still not very good at business..."

Wendy looked up at Amy.

"White Hart Castle has received news that the fire in the forest has been extinguished. Wendy, in two days, you have to take the clansmen back to the forest, cut down trees along the path of the fire, open up roads, and build timber Processing plants and carriage workshops. At the same time, cut out several isolation zones in the forest to avoid another fire. Then, you have to organize people to plant trees... I will let everyone in the eastern region cooperate with you to restore the forest ecology as soon as possible. Reduce agricultural disasters in the eastern region.”

Li Ang turned to look at Wendy and replied.

In fact, Li Ang felt a little strange in his heart - Wendy, a 50-year-old underage girl, was acting like a baby in the arms of Amy, a [-]-year-old girl...

"But I have to deal with the Bacchus Empire with you!"

Wendy had some reluctance on her face: "Can't I let Islandil take the people back to make the carriage?"

"No. You are the queen of the Noldor elves, and you must personally lead the reconstruction of the new Noldor Principality. Compared with war, construction is the basis for ruling the country... Moreover, the carriage will become a gate that allows you It is a long-term profitable business for the clansmen, and this kind of business must be controlled by you. Besides, Islandil will stay here to fight against the Bacchus Empire."

Amy caressed Wendy's face with her hands, and pulled Wendy into her arms.

"Didn't you say that you have to have a honeymoon after getting married..."

Wendy grunted.

"We don't have time... We are no longer ordinary people. We are all burdened with the future of tens of thousands of people. We have no right to be as willful as before..."

Amy said with a sigh: "I will leave here in two days. I will go to Sarleon City and move people from other places in Sarleon Land to reclaim wasteland around Luxin Lake. I must complete more than 10 people before the end of September." relocation, and cultivate enough arable land to support the entire Sarleon Territory..."

"Don't you want to move the population from Changhe City? There are already too many people in Changhe City..."

Wendy asked.

"The people in Long River City can't relocate. They either bought real estate in the city or worked here. Migrating them will cause problems... The population of the entire Sarleon Land has been greatly reduced in the past two years. The population of Long River City Construction is used to attract people. But most of the people who come here are city dwellers, not many farmers. I can only relocate people from other places, such as Haringosberg or Azgold.”

Amy explained.

"Wendy, you have a lot of things to do. The business of 'Elf Carriage' will continue to expand. Car loans and housing loans will be the mainstay of Pande Bank's profitability. The reason to move the headquarters of Pendor Bank from White Hart Castle is to allow the elves to protect it... Moreover, in addition to rebuilding your homeland and protecting Pendor Bank, you also have to lead your clansmen to block the Jatu people..."

Li Ang also sighed: "This winter, the Jatu people will definitely go south to plunder...their pastures will be most directly affected by forest fires, and many snakes, insects, rats and ants will run to the grasslands and bring their livestock Come and lose a lot..."

"Aldalian also said the same thing, so he has been on guard in the north before."

Wendy got up from Amy's arms: "Leon, the war with the Bacchus Empire will be difficult to end in a while, right? Each of us has so many things to do, can't we spend our honeymoon all the time? "

She's still thinking about her honeymoon...

"Maybe it won't take long. I will fight a decisive battle with the Bacchus Empire as soon as possible... Emperor Marius will not delay the war for too long. He has already assembled the army at Karen Deer Castle. Obviously he also wants to fight with the Bacchus Empire." I'll make it quick. He's a good emperor who thinks about people's lives."

Li Ang shook his head, but then frowned: "However... I can only fight a head-on battle with Bacchus. This time I can only face head-to-head, and I can't use any tricks."

"Why? It will cost a lot... The battle formation of the Bacchus Empire is indeed very powerful."

Wendy asked.

Bacchus' army is indeed the best in the continent in terms of discipline and coordination. Frontal positional warfare is Bacchus' strong point, and Wendy knows this too.

"Because I want everyone to see the power of the New Pendor Kingdom..."

After all, Amy has been the head of state for a while, and she understands what Li Ang is going to do: "The New Pendor Kingdom has just been established, and we need to use a big battle to show our strength. It is best not to use conspiracy and tricks in this battle. Strength wins. In this way, things will be much easier in the future."

"Although you can't use conspiracy, but...Wendy, you can prepare a reserve team in Shieldwind Fortress, maybe it can be used."

Li Ang added.

"I will also prepare a reserve team at Qicha Fortress..."

Amy also said at the same time.

Wendy looked at Li Ang, then looked back at Amy, and nodded.

In fact, she felt a little tasteful - she now knew that only Amy was the one who understood Li Ang's thoughts best.

So she stepped forward and sat next to Li Ang, and then clumsily threw Li Ang down on the carpet...

Amy stared dumbfounded for a while, her face and neck turned red quickly.

Li Ang struggled twice, but his current fighting power is really not as good as Wendy - he couldn't break free.

He only had time to shout: "Klose! You bastards! I know you are here! Get out of here..."

Then, Wendy gagged her mouth with more clumsy movements.

……

At the beginning of June 358 of the Pandeli calendar.

Amy has settled in Lion City and is calling farmers to reclaim wasteland.

The benefits offered by this land reclamation are astonishing—as long as they can pay [-] pounds of grain per mu in the harvest season next year, then any farmer can reclaim the land at will, and all the reclaimed land belongs to the farmer himself.

Moreover, Amy provided the seeds and agricultural tools, and provided two meals a day during the reclamation period—but just like when we first led the reclamation in White Hart Castle and Maixiang, we had to plant enough land after receiving the seeds. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a scammer directly.

There are no nobles around Luxin Lake, and even if there are surviving nobles, they will be defined as bankrupt commoners by Amy.

All the land here is currently considered to be the land of Amy, the Sarleon Queen. As long as she is willing, she can give it to anyone.

This kind of condition quickly attracted many farmers to come, Eric also went to Sarleon City to assist, and the convoy of Changhe Express also began to continuously deliver supplies to Sarleon City.

Sarleon City, which had been utterly destroyed, regained its vitality once again.

Wendy has also gone to White Hart Castle to organize some elves to transform the forest.

Timber processing factories quickly appeared in the forest, and a huge factory area began to be built between Maixiangling and White Hart Castle.

This is a huge carriage production factory, and huge diamond-shaped emblems are hung on the top of each factory building.

The market of Maixiangling was also rebuilt, and the non-commissioned officers returned to Maixiangling, and became supporting personnel and agent dealers of the "Elf Carriage Factory".

There are too many insects near Maixiangling, so it is not suitable for farming at present, but it is very suitable for painting and selling cars.

At this time, Li Ang welcomed General Su La again.

The gate of Changhe City.

"Your Majesty Leon, I brought the head of Antonyus. Can you release the Shadow Legion..."

Sura still came to see Li Ang alone, with a box in her hand.

The box was opened, and inside was a human head filled with lime, which was indeed Antonius.

"You came seven days late, General Sulla, one month as promised..."

Li Ang said with a blank face.

"Sorry, it's not easy to kill him. Hope our deal is still valid...I've brought food too, in the convoy just outside the city."

Sura pointed behind her.

About 300 meters outside Changhe City, hundreds of carriages were parked.

The carriage was surrounded by all kinds of troops, including the Silver Hand and the Noldor.

"Sura, you came seven days late, so I should at least charge some interest... I can put back the people from the Shadow Legion, but each of them will lose a finger-this is also a punishment for breaking diplomatic relations, It shouldn't be too much, right?"

Li Ang asked.

"Of course... as long as they can go back alive."

Su La will also feel that this punishment is acceptable.

"Okay, bring the food in, and you can take the people away in the afternoon."

Li Ang nodded and entered the city.

In the afternoon, the carriage that General Sura used to transport food was used again to transport the people of the Shadow Legion.

Every soldier of the Shadow Legion had his right thumb cut off.

"Your Majesty Li Ang... I'm afraid they won't be able to do any heavy work after they go back... You did this on purpose, right?!"

Seeing this kind of scene, General Su La didn't say anything too much. After all, he broke his promise first and couldn't blame Li Ang.

"I'm helping His Majesty Marius... General Sulla, after you see His Majesty Marius, he will tell you why I did this. By the way, tell His Majesty Marius that the war... has begun!"

Li Ang sent Sura out the door.

Later, he found Neuer, the twilight knight under Islandil: "Hang Antonius's head and Kailos's head together to the Shieldwind Fortress, and build a stone monument there. Tell people about the consequences of destroying forests..."

The next day, using the grain brought by General Sura as military rations, Li Ang began to send troops to Karen Deer Castle.

……

Karen Deer Castle.

General Agathon saw the Shadow Legion soldiers brought back by Sura.

"Their hands... Li Ang did it?!"

Unlike Su La, Agathon seemed rather dissatisfied: "Did he become so cruel after he became king!"

He was, after all, from the Legion of Shadows.

"Cruel? It's kind of him to keep these people alive, Agathon..."

General Su La shook his head slowly: "If someone completely destroys your home, burns all your manors, kills your family members, and burns everything that your wife's entire family depends on, Will you let these people live?"

Ajiasong was stunned for a moment, but then sharply retorted: "That's different! These are soldiers of the empire! They are the descendants of the empire's founders! They are the descendants of heroes!"

"What's the difference? Soldiers are human beings, heroes are also human beings... Noldo is also human beings, and Li Ang's subordinates are also human beings... Kailos and his son are also human beings."

Sura shook her head and left as she spoke: "You should hurry up and deal with Li Ang's troops, Your Majesty asks you to guard Karen Lulu Castle..."

"Shou?...Warning the whole army, this is the only way to end in Li Ang's hands! If this battle is not won, life will be worse than death! Pass the order! With the gladiator soldiers as the vanguard, everyone...attack immediately!"

Agathon called out to the orderly.

Su La paused, turned around, with a trace of surprise in his eyes: "Agason, you want to take the initiative?!"

"Offense is the best defense...General Su La, please tell Your Majesty that I must seize the opportunity Li Ang gave us. Only in this way can we maintain the morale of the army..."

Agathon looked at the Shadow Legion soldier who had lost his thumb on the carriage, and said word by word.

Su La frowned, then flew on the horse and rushed towards Boshi City.

Emperor Marius was currently in Boshi City.

His body is still weak, just coming here from Siyuan City has killed more than half of his life.

At this moment, he could only lie on the bed and listen to Sura reporting the situation to him.

"Li Ang said that he cut off those people's thumbs to help you... I don't quite understand what he means..."

Su La asked about what Li Ang had said.

"He knows that my redemption of the Shadow Legion is only for the morale of the army, and he also knows that I don't want the old-fashioned forces to still retain an established army. From this aspect, he is indeed helping me..."

"It's actually okay for Ajiasong to use this to maintain the morale of the army, but the problem is... Li Ang is using this method to lure him to take the initiative! You are seven days late, but Li Ang has not moved at all during these seven days No—Leon didn't want to take the initiative to attack! He deliberately found an excuse to cut off the thumb of the Shadow Legion soldier! Even if you caught Antonius in time, Leon would still use other excuses to do so!"

Emperor Mario said weakly.

"Then... General Agathon's side..."

Sura was also a little weak.

Li Ang used Yangmou. Ajiasong is a descendant of the members of the Shadow Legion and a general who came out of the Shadow Legion. He will definitely take this trick.

"I have to go to Karen Bucksburg...give me armor, I want to fight myself."

Emperor Marius stood up with difficulty.
