Ride and Cut

"Your Majesty Sargerei is still in Coron City?" Richard did not answer Suffolk's request, but asked again.

　　 "It's still there." Suffolk could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and nodded, "But soon he will return to the whole country."

　　 "Not only war, logistics and diplomacy are troublesome." The lord had a sorrowful look, "Isn't there someone who has to sit in the whole country."

"Richard, what the **** do you think." Suffolk couldn't help but get anxious when he saw his tepid appearance. "In my opinion, it's better to withdraw into Coron as soon as possible, not for a day. hold up."

　　 Gunther, who has been stuffed with food and has never said anything, suddenly raised his head, stared at Suffolk and said, "I want to scold someone today, so I won't scold you."

　　 This kind of statement that is full of twists and turns, you have to go around in your head to understand it, not a veteran can not grasp it. But no one in the room is an idiot, and he understands it naturally.

　　 is the commander of the legion anyway, and Suffolk also has an entourage. The main general was humiliated, and they were quite impulsive to shoot the crime on the spot. But looking at Gunther's oppressive body, he couldn't help feeling suddenly calm.

　　 Suffolk's face was blue and white. He was also from a well-known family, and the instinct to maintain his surface and aura was almost integrated into his bones. How could he be scolded by someone pointing his nose like this.

　　 "Gunther." Richard slowly knocked on the table.

　　 "Huh!" Seeing that the sturdy bear-like barbarian turned and left the table, the attendants couldn't help but subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

　　 "Richard, you are talking."

　　 "Can I bring the people into the city together?" Lord Lord asked with interest.

　　 "This... only the Governor can make a decision." Suffolk was embarrassed.

　　 If it is normal, accommodating tens of thousands or even more civilians is nothing to Coron. However, there are already many people who seek refuge in the city during the extraordinary period, and it is not so easy to add extra **** people.

　　 What's more, the leaders of Alpine Fort are mostly half-orcs. Although Pompeii has been actively absorbing half-orcs in recent years, the ostracism has never stopped.

"Hahaha." Richard laughed three times, looking at the unknown expression on Suffolk's face, and said calmly, "It's just a bunch of dead souls with rotten brains, I don't need to go anywhere. Kill them right here."

　　 "Hiss~" Suffolk took a sigh of relief and carefully observed Richard's face, trying to find out the clues of a few separate jokes.

　　 But his attempt is doomed to fail, because Lord Lord is not joking at all!

　　 "Richard, you will..."

　　 "See off!"

　　 Gunther in full armor broke in like a steel golem. Looking at Suffolk and the entourage, they broke the knuckles unkindly.

　　…………

　　Dark dark clouds floated from the north, and by the time of dinner, it suddenly began to rain. At the beginning, the patters quickly developed into a pouring state, and the castle construction and metal smelting had to be temporarily suspended.

　　 Taking advantage of the rare fact that everyone is fine, Richard summoned all the people and announced that Gaoshan Fort had entered a wartime state.

　　 When the crowd dissipated, he himself stood on the sub-top of the castle that was not fully completed. In the design, this will be a tea room in the future. After nightfall, you can overlook the lights of thousands of houses in the residential area, which can very arouse the pride in the chest.

　　 It is still dark, and ant-like sheriffs can be seen running around in the rain to maintain order.

　　 They are all very weak races, and their own strength is very weak. But since taking over the post of sheriff, he has shown amazing courage in fulfilling his duties.

　　 The lord could not help thinking, maybe there is no inevitable connection between strength and courage.

　　 There was a sound of kicking footsteps, and more people followed in, filling the small tea room full.

　　 "Richard, is there going to war again?" Annie asked grimly.

"A wave of undead is on the way over, about half a month away." Lord Lord shrugged, did not turn his head, "Just now, a crouch persuaded me to run into Coron with the Ripper Corps. I just got caught. I blast away."

　　 "Dead!" Vera took a deep breath, "The kingdom and the church should send people to support us."

　　 "Enough." The lord reached out the window and caught a few drops of cold rain. "They can't take care of themselves. They must guard the big cities in the Northeast Province first. They will not take care of our high mountain for a while."

　　 "Taxes never fall, and you can't count on them at critical moments." The half-elf girl gritted her teeth.

　　 "Well, even if you change you, you will do the same." Buckland limped over on crutches. He always had knee pain whenever it rained and he didn't want to move easily.

　　 "After all, I haven't paid much tax at all." Gunther was very outspoken. "Everyone who can escape has escaped, and the ones who can't escape are still dead. The tax officials have been beaten and run several times by us."

　　 It is true that no one can refute this, and even Annie shut up in an awkward silence.

　　 "Wori, have you ever beaten a tax officer?" Richard couldn't help but was shocked by the daring of these people.

　　 Abu waved his fist angrily, "Everyone wants to wipe the oil and water when they come, and I don't even look at where it is. If you want me to say it is owed."

　　 "Next time, just hang them up and hang them for public display!" Lord Lord sneered, and then said ~www.readwn.com~ to collect taxes on Lao Tzu's head. This crouched governor really dared to open a dyeing workshop if he gave him three points of color. If you don't embarrass him a little bit, this guy doesn't know what a local snake is! "

　　 "Yes." Annie immediately expressed her support.

　　 The few people who screamed the most fiercely just now looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After all, the tax official represents the governor’s ruling authority, so it’s not a big problem if you haven’t been caught in private. But hanging up to show the public is a naked proclaim, and the degree of boldness is not on the same level.

　　 "Cough cough." Buckland felt ridiculous as he listened, and quickly coughed twice. "Everyone should discuss the matter quickly. Should Seedorf be called back to the staff?"

"The garrisons of the New World must be recalled." Richard nodded first, and then shook his head. "However, our Alpine Fort lacks defensive depth. We can only defend the line of the Rage River. Seedorf has no good way to come. "

　　 "In fact, Seedorf is quite capable." Buckland said sincerely.

　　 He saw clearly that since Seedorf took over the command of the two gaps, he was actually responsible for recruit training. The construction of the chain of command, the training of grassroots officers, and the design of tactical skills and tactics of the detachments are much more formal than before.

　　 The entire Ripper has benefited a lot, and is facing a regularization from top to bottom. It is no longer the wild road that only sullenly charged.

　　 "Nonsense, of course I know, why would you ask him to come over." Lord Lord rolled his eyes, "Don't be lingering here, hurry up and get busy."
