Chapter 179 Embarrassment
The night is gradually dissipating. Although the sun has not yet risen, the power of the sun's true fire between heaven and earth is gradually rising, and the power of the sun is slowly dissipating, or it is hidden in the yin veins of the earth.

At this time, Guobei County also returned to calm, but the devastated battlefield was telling the tragedy of the war.

Although there was no blood everywhere, the human skins all spoke of the cruelty of demons.

"How is the situation? Has the loss been calculated?" Liu Wei asked.

The county captain said: "A total of 330 soldiers and more than [-] civilians died in this battle. There were no wounded. The city wall completely collapsed."

Hearing this, Liu Wei fell silent. Although the battle was won and the city was saved, the combat power in the city was also crippled, and the Forbidden Stone was completely shattered, completely useless.

The shattering of the Forbidden Stone caused Liu Wei's heart to sink to the bottom of the valley. The soldiers were gone, so they could be recruited again, but since the Forbidden Stone was gone, it was by no means so easy to get another one.

Although the Great Yan Dynasty was able to produce the Forbidden Stone, the production of the Forbidden Stone was extremely cumbersome. If one wanted to apply for a Forbidden Stone, one would have to go through a lot of procedures before being able to apply.

What worries Liu Wei even more is that, given the current situation in Guobei County, it is very likely that Guobei County will be withdrawn and the troops deployed here will be withdrawn.

Because Guobei County is located in a remote place, it is extremely poor, and the annual tax revenue is not enough to pay the salaries of the officials in the county. If you want minerals but no minerals, you need grain fields without grain and oil, and there are even barbarians haunting them. It is simply a barren land, it is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard it, it is really tasteless.

The Great Yan Dynasty had long intended to give up this Guobei County. However, in this fairy world, people either died or disappeared directly, and they could still exist as ghosts.

Ordinary people can turn into ghosts after they die, let alone an emperor of a country. After the death of an emperor, although most of the dragon energy and luck are gone, there is still a part of it, the power of luck in the underworld. It is extremely powerful, and the degree of luck is power, which is far from comparable to that in the yang world. Therefore, if it is established in a country, it will form a dragon court in the underworld under the influence of luck.

The rich and powerful families can also form spiritual realms and blessed lands in the underworld to provide shelter for their own people. The power of these dynasties and dragon courts is also one of the main forces for the human race to resist demons.

It was also because of the scruples of the former emperors in the dragon court of the underworld that Emperor Dayan did not directly revoke it. However, the emperor has the constitution in his mouth, even if it is just a thought, it can be done in the dark. Affected Guobei County.

Otherwise, the situation in Guobei County would not be so bad, and the county guard would not ignore the crisis in Guobei County.

Of course, Liu Wei, a small county magistrate, is far from knowing the twists and turns, but Liu Wei also faintly felt that the court didn't take it seriously. In addition, more than half of the supplies originally belonging to Guobei County were embezzled.

Now that the monsters are attacking the city, the county guard's mansion will not send out a single soldier to rescue them. In such a situation, Liu Wei cannot help thinking about the worst.

"All the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle must be distributed to the families of the soldiers who died in battle. Anyone who dares to reach out will be killed on the spot."

"Another [-] soldiers will be recruited, trained as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness, and also to call on the people in the city to repair the city wall as soon as possible. This is your top priority."

"Lieutenant Liu County, I would like to trouble you to work harder during this period, and let the remaining soldiers strengthen their patrols, and don't let monsters wreak havoc in the city..." Liu Wei ordered his arrangements in one breath.

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he wanted to discuss some things with Li Heng. After all, now that the magic stone is shattered, it has completely lost its effect. Soldiers, I'm afraid they will be powerless to deal with the monsters that sneak into the city.

More importantly, Li Heng was injured, and Liu Wei had to go to appease him and keep Li Heng steady. It won't be long before Beixian will be scattered.

Seeing Li Zhubo who was hesitating to speak, he asked: "Li Zhubo, what do you think, just say it."

Hearing the words, Master Li organized his language a little bit before saying, "Master County Magistrate, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry out the conscription of [-] troops."

Lieutenant Liu was furious when he heard the words, and wanted to scold him, but he remembered something and suppressed it again. However, who can see that Lieutenant Liu jumped out against Li Zhubo to oppose the conscription , very dissatisfied.

"Huh?" Liu Wei frowned suddenly, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, thinking that it was already this time, and he actually had the intention to intrigue here.

Mr. Li looked at the expressions of Liu Wei and Liu Xianwei, and he knew Liu Wei. Liu Xianwei was probably disgusted with himself. If he answered badly, he might offend two of the three giants in Guobei County. up.

"Don't Mr. Li know that although he has won a battle, he has suffered heavy losses and needs to replenish his troops urgently. Otherwise, who will guard this huge city and protect the people in the city?"

Master Li smiled wryly: "My lords, I also know the situation in the city. I am not opposed to conscription, but it is really difficult for the money and food in the treasury to maintain such a large number of conscription."

"I remember that there is a lot of money and food in the treasury! How could it be impossible to maintain the recruitment of only [-] soldiers?" Liu Wei narrowed his eyes and said.

"My lord, the treasury used to have a lot of money and food, but now one needs to distribute the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle, and the other is to rebuild the city wall. Not to mention the other things, just these two things can completely consume the money and food in the treasury. , where can we still have money and food to go to conscription.”

Liu Wei and Lieutenant Liu were silent when they heard the words. Li Zhubo controls the money and food in the city. Even if his words are exaggerated, they are probably not too far off.

"I understand, but the conscription cannot be stopped. The city needs soldiers to maintain it. No matter how difficult it is, it can be stopped. After the city wall is repaired, there is no need to brand it for now!"

"My lord, this..." Li Zhubo opened his mouth wide, trying to dissuade Liu Wei, but in the end he didn't say anything. Li Zhubo knew very well that Guobei County needed an army, even if it was just militia.

Lieutenant Liu County made a confession to Li Zhubo, and then went to deal with military affairs. The status of the county lieutenant in military power is much higher than that of the master.

"Ah!" Master Li smiled wryly in his heart. Although Liu Wei meant to temporarily embezzle the money and food from the branded talisman array, as the master, he was in charge of the money and food in the city...
