Alien landlady

Chapter 95 Occupation Expansion
In the early morning of the next day, after Bai Tongtong had breakfast with the generals, he saw the messenger prisoner brought back by the quartermaster in the interrogation room. He had been interrogated all night and obtained some confessions. Say goodbye to everyone, and return to Kama City with Ah Huang using the earth escape technique.

They got out from the outside of the Magicians Guild, and looking around, the city was still a scene of disaster relief. The outer wall of the guild behind them was burned black, and the gate seemed to be doubled in size by the bombing. The walls were also licked by the flames in a large area, and the wooden structure was scrapped, probably only the general frame of the building remained, and the adjacent houses on both sides were burnt to ruins.

[I'm going!How much explosive did the Kirills use to blow up here?Can mine mining explosives be so powerful?Then didn't we cause them heavy losses in the middle of the night? 】Bai Tongtong looked in shock at the magicians guild that had changed beyond recognition.

[I don’t know if King Kirill was burned to death. 】Ah Huang licked his mouth, 【It's interesting when the country is subjugated. 】

[Even if they sell all their citizens, they still can't pay for the reconstruction fee! 】

[Well, this loss is too great, even if their bones are dismantled, they will have to pay for it. 】

【Hmph, you're right, Ah Huang, it would be better if King Kirill's family were burned to death. It would be better if their country doesn't have any heirs to the royal family. 】Bai Tongtong thought of a feasible solution, but he didn't know if the Grand Council of Kallya would agree.

The citizens walking around thought that the female mercenary with a cat was staring at the ruined guild in a daze, and all squinted. At this moment, a soldier ran towards this side, calling Bai Tongtong from a long distance away.

"Miss Bai! Miss Bai! I didn't expect you to come so early!" The soldier ran up to him, stopped and took a few breaths before he stabilized his breathing.

Bai Tongtong didn't recognize him, but felt his face looked familiar, "Are you the soldier next to Adjutant Carjado?"

"Yes! Miss Bai still remembers me!" The soldier tiptoed happily, "Miss Bai, follow me to the city hall, everyone is there."

"Are there any important buildings intact in the city?" Bai Tongtong motioned for the soldiers to lead the way, and she walked beside him.

"Even the church was blown up, none of them were intact, but most of them were like this guild, the most important main building was seriously damaged, the buildings behind were still good, the enemy couldn't get inside, they could only blow up the outside .”

"But it's burned like that, can it be repaired? Or is it just torn down and rebuilt?"

"Yes, they have to be demolished and rebuilt. The explosives were pushed under the outer wall. After the explosion, the foundation was first damaged, and the fire burned all the wooden structures. It is no longer stable. Reconstruction is the only option."

"It will cost a lot of money to rebuild."

"Yes. But yesterday, with Miss Bai's help, so many prisoners were captured, and I heard that they can be exchanged for a lot of money."

"Compared with the rebuilding fee, the money from selling slaves is only enough to make a few new doors and windows. The Grand Duke will definitely not be able to swallow this bad breath. Let's see how he handles it."

"As long as the Grand Duke gives the order, even if you go to Black Leaf City, you will not be afraid." The soldier clenched his fist and swore.

Bai Tongtong patted the brave soldier on the shoulder to encourage him.

Black Leaf City, God knows how it was burned.

The city hall is in the center of the city, not far from the Wizards Guild, within walking distance, but there are a lot of important buildings in the surrounding area, and a large number of residential houses are implicated. The whole city is basically in dire need of post-disaster reconstruction. .

"By the way, the warehouse or this side, which side was bombed first? Or at the same time?"

"The warehouse was blown up first, which attracted the whole city to put out the fire. The enemy came back and planted explosives while there were few people, and then blew up here again. When we came here on horseback the night before, we saw the flames bursting into the sky outside the city. , as if the whole city was on fire."

"How many people were injured?"

"Not many people were trapped in the house when the fire broke out and were burnt to death. It was dinner time. When they found the warehouse was on fire, adults and children ran to help. So when the house caught fire, many of them stayed at home. Few, but quite a few people were burnt and scalded during the firefighting, but with the healing scroll given by Miss Bai, most of them are fine, and those who are seriously injured can recover after a few days of recuperation." The more soldiers The more excited he said, "By the way, there is also the food you gave, Miss Bai, which really helped! The young master said that Fan Cheng couldn't get enough food, so he had to borrow food from Gu Lisi. You killed the whole city! You are the savior of our Tamil people!"

Bai Tongtong's cheeks were hot, and she was very embarrassed, "It would be an exaggeration to say that I am a savior."

"No no no! This is what it should be!"

"Okay, okay, let's not argue about this issue. When I see your young master, he will have to mention it again. Give me something fresh."

Amused by Bai Tongtong's humor, the soldier laughed and led her into the building through the side entrance of the city hall's garden.

Lieutenant Carjado, the mayor, and the president of the Magician's Guild were all waiting for Bai Tongtong's arrival. They were very grateful when they met, and then Lieutenant Carjado asked Bai Tongtong to go to another room to talk about Kirill in detail. In the situation over there, the letter on the courier's prisoner was in the hands of the Grand Duke last night. Everyone knows how the food she provided for her support came from, so at this moment, the two of them avoided talking nonsense and got straight to the point.

"The Kirills have run out of food, cities and palaces have been bombed, and the frontline soldiers have been wiped out. Maybe they will make a crazy counterattack." Adjutant Carjado conveyed the meaning of his father, and they must consider In all possible situations, try to prepare in advance, they know how difficult it is for the Kirills to go crazy.

"Yes, if you don't fight, you will starve to death. This is their last madness." Bai Tongtong decided to tell the person opposite him the idea that came up before.

"If all the people come here, the population of the frontline barracks and Kama City alone will not be able to stop them. I will write to my father to send more soldiers here just in case."

"All Kirill's soldiers surrendered and were captured. Then you send your soldiers to attack civilians who want to get food? What will your neighbors think of you? Are you afraid that they will say that your soldiers are murderous? Let them stand on the moral On the commanding heights, it is of no benefit to you."

"Those countries have killed civilians themselves! During previous wars, they captured our people as death squads!"

"Yes, they killed civilians as well. The women with the brooms were all armed enemies. But now we are fighting the Kirills, and Black Leaf City has been severely damaged. Remember this. If all the people Concentrate and go to Kamalai, the land behind is empty, and the two neighbors next to Kirill will put this large piece of land as if they didn’t see it? Especially they used to rely on the salt produced by Kirill, and now they have a chance Get yourself a salt lake, do you think they will not do it? The opportunity was created by me, and the benefits belong to others?"

Lieutenant Carjado blinked his eyes a few times, and he reacted quickly. He got up a little excited and walked around, thinking about what Bai Tongtong said, and then came back and sat down.

"Miss Bai, do you mean that we went to occupy the land of the Kirills?"

"Yes, if you take all the salt lakes into your hands, the land area of ​​Tamir should be expanded. It doesn't matter if there is a lack of products in the ice and snow, the salt lakes are the greatest wealth."

"If we occupy all the salt lakes, the neighboring countries on the left and right will come to attack us. As you just said, they cannot miss this opportunity."

"If they beat you, you fight back. Why don't you fight? If they lose, you can grab another piece of land. Don't let it go if you have the opportunity to expand. You don't know what the seemingly barren land will be in the future. Whatever miracle happens, first occupy it and leave it to future generations, and when a territorial dispute arises in the future, future generations can also come up with the history of their ancestors and say it since ancient times.”

Lieutenant Carjado giggled, his eyes sparkled, he was completely moved.

"Miss Bai, please give me some good advice. Kirill's entire land area is still so big anyway, so it's easy to occupy it, but it's so cold that even grain can't be grown there, who would want to manage it? If there is no one for a long time, won’t it still be actually occupied by the enemy a little bit? Besides, after Kirill’s original civilians become our citizens, some of them may still return to their hometowns to live. If we don’t have managers there, Will they rebel over time? This has to be taken into consideration."

"Civilians in Kirill? What's the matter with them? On the edge of the salt lake, there can only be Tamirs who have immigrated there. Kirills, regardless of gender, young or old, catch one and sell one."

"Huh?!" Lieutenant Carjado didn't expect Bai Tongtong to come up with such an idea, "Will you keep one?"

"What are you keeping? Do you think they didn't cause you enough trouble in the past? You don't need money for the reconstruction of Kama City? Those who can survive the difficult environment are physically strong, and they are high-class slaves. They are sold to smugglers for exchange. The money was used to build a house." Bai Tongtong half-closed his eyes, and said mercilessly, "Also, you can't find smugglers who do business in the north for convenience, but you have to find people who do business in the south, understand what I mean?"

"Understood! It's best to cross Gulisi and sell it to a third country farther away, so that the Kirills can never come back."

"clever."

"And what about managers? Any good advice?"

Bai Tongtong pretended to rub his chin, and after thinking about it for a minute, he said slowly, "In addition to giving a part to the officers for meritorious deeds, do you have any cousins ​​within the range of close relatives? Those who have no inheritance rights Those ones?"

The young man stood up suddenly, his whole body was tense, he solemnly saluted Bai Tongtong, and called a soldier to show her tonight's guest room. The Grand Duke wrote.

After looking at the room, Bai Tongtong took Ah Huang Yuanlu out, asked the soldiers where the material warehouse was, and wandered off by himself.

The warehouse area was set up in a corner of the city, where all kinds of daily necessities were also piled up, mainly food, but after Bai Tongtong walked over, what he saw was a ruin with the roof burned through.

The soldiers were hauling away the rubbish from the fire site in carts. The soil on the edge of the salt lake only grew grass but not grain. Otherwise, if there was farmland, it might not be able to escape the enemy's fire.

Bai Tongtong found the person in charge here, and showed him how to use the black flame that can burn everything to destroy the garbage on the spot, and then she cleaned up the whole area.

It took a day to burn all the garbage, and the ground in the reservoir area was restored to cleanliness. Everyone called it a day, went back to rest, and waited for the demolition of the house the next day.

Bai Tongtong walked all the way back to the city hall with Ah Huang in the refreshing evening breeze. When they reached a section of no one's place, Ah Huang suddenly stopped vigilantly. Bai Tongtong immediately prepared the air cannon and turned around vigilantly. After half a circle, I saw Pollock standing in the alley across the street.

Rolling his eyes angrily, he ran over directly, only to realize that this alley is a dead end, but he is not afraid of being accidentally broken into this secret operation.

Ah Huang and Harding sat facing each other in the shadow of the inner side of the alley. With the lesson of last night, Ah Huang no longer provoked Harding easily, and Harding smiled at Ah Huang like a big dog.

At the bottom of the alley, Bai Tongtong was making a deal with Pollock.

Pollock showed Bai Tongtong the prepared barter list. In the original list, Bai Tongtong wrote the quantity and specification she wanted behind each item, and Pollock followed him to write the quantity and specification he could give.

Bai Tongtong asked for a variety of raw materials. Among the things she gave, the extra part of Pollock was accepted as ordered. He only changed some supply quantities, and did not reject her demand.

Bai Tongtong doesn't insist on a small change in numbers, so many raw materials are enough to support her long-term experimental needs.

So the transaction was over within a few minutes, and the two exchanged a bunch of space bags with each other. After calculations, Bai Tongtong not only emptied the backlog of space, but also earned a few more space bags.

Pollock seemed to be in a hurry. After counting the goods, he whistled to Harding, and then disappeared into the wind without a word of extraneous words. Compared with the previous few times when he talked endlessly, today is particularly abnormal. .

After putting away their things, Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang returned to the street and walked towards the city hall calmly. Even though their stomachs were full of joy, they had to keep a calm face so that no one could see that she had just made a big deal.

Bai Tongtong actually stayed in Kama City for four days, tearing down all the burnt-out houses, pushing, digging, and digging. The soldiers freed up their hands and rushed back to the front-line barracks to capture Kirill who surrendered first. They were transferred to the city.

When everyone was busy in and out of the city, the reinforcements sent by the Grand Duke arrived with the first batch of food. Together with the reinforcements, there were cousins ​​who wanted to earn military merits. What appeared behind was the smugglers who came from Gulisi specially to receive slaves so that they could be sold to distant southern countries.

The captives found out that they were about to be sold, and immediately rebelled. Soldiers are soldiers. After a few days of half-starvation, they still have the strength to fight, but no matter how powerful they are, they are no match for Bai Tongtong's Sleeping Scroll. This scroll is really good. Use, she writes a few and saves them when she has nothing to do, and has them whenever she needs them.

The smugglers didn't mind the rebellion of the captives at all. On the contrary, they were very happy to see their explosive physical fitness, and the price was very high. The price was based on the first-class slaves. In just one day, the smugglers who arrived in Kama City Returning with the fresh goods I just got.

The hall of the Magicians Guild was knocked down, and the teleportation array was completely closed, but the teleportation arrays in Fan City and Amo City were reopened. The Grand Duke ordered a discount, and three slaves counted as one teleportation fee.

In this way, the smugglers only need to spend a few days to drive back to Fancheng, and then they can return to Gulisi through the teleportation array, saving a lot of time for a little money.In order to prevent the slaves from rebelling halfway, Lieutenant Carjado sent soldiers to escort the slave teams of each smuggler, and welcomed them to return as quickly as possible, as there were still a large number of slaves behind.

As for the front-line barracks, since the captives were transferred to Kama City, General Luo Fei took everyone into the border of Kirill. Bai Tongtong was the first to blow up the City Lord's Mansion.

Because of the loss of all the food, the past few days have been quite miserable from the city lord to the common people. Every family can only live on the little surplus food they have, and the news they have received is that the grain depots in various cities in the country are all It was stolen, cities including the capital were bombed, and the palace was even burned down. All this was done by the hateful and evil Tamils.

General Luo Fei captured the city without any effort. Under the lure of food, the people's resistance was weak, and the population of a city was just like that. Only the owner's family and the knights fled to the capital of Heiye. .

Lieutenant Carjado, who was in Kama City, received the letter from General Luo Fei, and immediately sent his cousins ​​and reinforcements to join General Luo Fei. After arriving there, can the brothers earn themselves one in the future? Titles and territories depend on their own performance. As the next generation of Grand Duke Tamir, he can only help here.

The magicians are also working hard to help, taking out a large number of ground escape runestones that have been produced in a hurry, saving the time of long-distance transfer of slaves.

When Tamir took such a big move to occupy the territory of the Kirills, the neighbors on both sides immediately reacted and sent troops to grab the territory. There are good reasons to attract the support of the people. As long as they grab a salt lake, they don’t need to buy it from abroad. Salt is imported.

Tamir is bordered by three countries. In addition to the United Kingdom of Pokley and the Independent Kingdom of Kirill at the two ends, the Kingdom of Horace is sandwiched in the middle. Kirill was independent from Horace. The two are They are old enemies, and they usually fight a lot. Now that they see Kirill's tendency to subjugate the country, they jump out non-stop to grab back the territory that originally belonged to them.

Kirill's neighbor on the other side is the Grand Duchy of Ackerman. Originally, before Kirill became independent, Ackerman owned a piece of salt lake resources. Later, after Kirill finished the War of Independence and fought a territorial war, he robbed Ackerman. Salt Lake and surrounding land.Now it is hard to see that Kirill is going to die, and of course Ackerman has not shown any weakness in advocating his own territorial needs. In their plan, it is best to get one more salt lake.

The territorial claims of Ackerman and Hollus are logically reasonable, but Bai Tongtong reminded Duke Kalljadha in advance that since outsiders can see it, things will of course not develop in the direction imagined by those two countries .

The smugglers coming from the direction of Gulisi are continuous, and the nationals of a country will be sold as slaves. This business is too big. As soon as the news spread, many businessmen rushed here, and they brought all kinds of goods along the way. They sold them on the spot, and then took away the purchased slaves. Under the escort of soldiers, they went back and forth between Fan City and Kama City.
