Marissa had just received an army of 30,000 elves and dwarves, and there was still a lot of work to be done, and if it wasn't handled well, it was very likely that these soldiers who had just defected would mutiny.

She only had 200 patrol cavalry at hand, and the advance detachment had been taken away by Higg, leaving only three or four hundred old, weak, sick and disabled in the fortress of Holey, and these 30,000 troops could not all be crowded on the side of the fortress, and they had to find villages and towns to camp in the west of the Doris Mountains and reorganize the new army!

How to make the fortress of Holly, the city of Amiens, the city of Uratu and the new base camp in the west form one, there are thousands of things, and the hardship of leading the army alone is the first time she has experienced.

The first step was to send 2,000 garrisons to the fortress to ensure that the core strongholds of the entire new base area were in their own hands;

The second step is to choose a new base camp in the west of the Doris Mountains, where the population is relatively sparse and the enemy's strength is relatively weak, and it cannot be too far away from the mouth of the Holly Gorge, otherwise it will not be able to establish a joint defense interaction system with the Holly Fortress, and it cannot be too close, otherwise it will be difficult to radiate more of the western foothills of Dorris.

Third, immediately get in touch with Green and organize the autumn picking work in the new base area, although there are many supplies in the Holey Fortress, it is only enough to last for eight or nine months, and if the army wants to survive for a long time, it must organize its own defense area to be self-sufficient;

Fourth, immediately get in touch with his mother Josephine, and the core of the defense area of the Liberation Army was transferred to the Holey Fortress, which is closer to the hinterland of the Druids, with the Holey Fort as the defensive core, as long as the troops are sufficient, a more flexible joint defense system can be developed.

Fifth, the dwarven craftsmen were recruited to build a new fortress at the west entrance of the Holly Canyon, so that the Holly Canyon would become a real fortress and a more complete defensive system.

Sixth, Marisa intends to implement a new way of ruling within her own defense area, completely abolishing the original slave system, and allowing the elves and dwarves to truly manage themselves, and she even has the idea of copying the construction of her defense area to the construction of Fuxing City, first accepting refugees and then developing industries. This needs financial support, and she thought of Lan Xian'er's bank, hoping to be able to borrow this money from Lan Xian'er, or co-invest with Lan Xian'er. However, this idea is still only in the embryonic stage, and it is not yet mature, and it is possible to replicate the Fuxing City model only if its own defense area is stable.

"You actually let Bols go without permission!" Marisa finally met her long-lost mother, Josephine, in the city of Hesselna, and the first thing Josephine said when she saw Marisa was, "Do you know how many of us he killed? In Heselna alone, the defenders suffered more than 40,000 casualties, more than 10,000 inhabitants, countless houses and buildings, and hundreds of large pits outside the city, where 100,000 dwarves and elves, including the enemy, were buried, and you dared to let this butcher go without permission? I don't want to listen to your set of reasons, the hatred of the druids and the elves and dwarves is something you want to dissolve? How many years of oppression and humiliation have you experienced in the Druids? Before you let go of that butcher, why didn't you ask, millions of elves and dwarves agreed or not, the surviving defenders and inhabitants of the city agreed or not, and the 100,000 unjust souls outside the city agreed or disagreed? Does Your Majesty agree or not? ”

"Mother! Why on earth do we want to recover the forest country, the elves, the forest family? Marisa said calmly, "In order to let the soldiers and civilians of the forest country live with dignity and freedom, instead of living in hatred and self-destruction, the reason why the elven empire is strong is also because of the unity of the entire forest people, so that it can last for tens of thousands of years, isn't the enlightenment given to us by the sages enough to make us wake up?" ”

"Don't tell me these big truths, it's on the line!" Josephine said, "There is nothing wrong with recovering the forest country, recovering the elves, and letting the people of the forest people live in equality, freedom and dignity, but excluding the hateful druids and centaurs, only by completely destroying them, the forest people will be truly peaceful!" ”

"Destroy them?" Marissa shook her head, "How is this possible?" There has never been a single race among the forest tribes that has the ability to completely wipe out another race! Mother, no matter how depraved the druids are, they have a thousand years of heritage, and we can't just destroy them if we want to! ”

"If you can't destroy it, you will enslave it, just as they enslave the elves and dwarves now! In short, there is no possibility of mediation between the druids, centaurs and elven dwarves, and even if we make great sacrifices, we must repay the hatred of this thousand years ago! ”

Marissa said, "Even if we succeed in recovering the country, does Mother want the Druids to target us again and reclaim the Forest Nation after another millennium, just like us?" ”

"Shut up!" Josephine said, "You don't understand, why do you have pity on those druids, you have mercy on those centaurs? You are an elf, their enemy, they have enslaved our people for thousands of years, and we elves have been tortured and humiliated, if you can't eliminate or enslave the druids, how can you be worthy of the humiliation of these thousand years? How can you be worthy of the martyrs of the elves? ”

"Okay!" Marissa said helplessly, "I can't convince you, we don't have to argue about this issue anymore, whether it is to fight or exterminate or enslave, we need to have strength first!" General Josephine, I hope that the base camp of the Liberation Army will be moved forward to the Fortress of Holy, which is the forward front, and if we stay in this wild place, we will not have much room for development! ”

"I can't convince you!" Josephine sighed, "I agree to move the base camp forward!" In fact, Higg is the best candidate for the general of the Liberation Army, you shouldn't let him go! ”

"Hehe, why don't I let people go?" Marissa smiled, "Even His Majesty asked him to be the marshal of the Forest Country, he didn't agree, the small base camp of the Liberation Army, can keep him?" You're looking too highly of me! Besides, if he stays as the main general, can you really abdicate and make way for Xian? ”

"Alas, forget it, don't talk about it, everyone is gone, there's no point in saying anything!" Josephine said, "What is most lacking in the Liberation Army is the talent of generals who can lead the army, but unfortunately, talents are rare!" It's good if you come back and can help me! ”

"I don't want to worry about the war!" Marissa said, "I don't want to see the bloody scenes, but I'm willing to support you in the rear, support Your Majesty." With such a large territory as the Liberation Army, someone must manage it, so let me do it! The Fortress of Holly is for you, and all the 30,000 warriors are for you, and the 13,000 men of Grimm are all back to your tent! ”

"You don't go to war? That's a pity, and I didn't know until today that you're too stubborn! "But it seems too much to let a man who hates war kill someone!" It's fine for you to stay behind, but what I want to tell you, dear Marisa, don't give up your powers lightly at any time, especially when they don't come easily! ”

"That's what you think, Mother, not mine!" Marissa laughed, "What is a king?" When others respect you, you are the king; If others don't respect you, no matter how powerful you are, you are just your own king! I seem to understand something, I'm going to go to His Majesty and persuade him to intervene in the Druid's war as soon as possible! ”

"Whatever you want!" Josephine said, "I have sent to persuade Your Majesty many times, and I hope he will listen to you!" ”

……

Marishin, Benjamin's home base, he has been here for almost three years, Marishen has gradually become a small city, with a population of nearly 100,000, but most of them are Pantony's Desi tribe dwarves, real elves, only more than 3,000 phantom archers of their own.

Now that it is another year of autumn, the people of Marishin are busy picking in the surrounding mountains and forests, and this lively and joyful scene is the third time they have experienced.

The largest workshop in the city is not a military workshop, but Noah's paper workshop, Owen's caravan will transport all the paper here to Fuxing City, although the road is difficult, but this low-cost commodity is a huge profit, at present, only the people of Fuxing City, aware of their value, in Fuxing City, set off a cultural trend.

Benjamin was very happy to receive Marissa in his palace, he was shocked by what happened in the Druid's territory, and he didn't expect that in just a year and a half, Higg really made a fortune in the Druid's territory, and the whole Druid territory was in smoke.

"Your Majesty!" Marissa said, "The overall situation of the Forest Country has been decided, Auguston has won the battle, the Druid army and the Fifth War Zone of Erathia who remain in the Forest Country have no intention of fighting again, and it is a matter of time before the army retreats, why is Your Majesty still worried about these things?" There is nothing to do in the Forest Country, but there is much to be done in the Druid Territory, and the people there are also your people! When His Majesty seizes the Druid's territory, the restoration of the country is successful, the army and the people are excited, Your Majesty will bring the momentum of the restoration of the country, and return to the army with a righteous army to rebel, and it will be clear and straightforward, wouldn't it be logical and natural? ”

"You're right!" Benjamin nodded and said, "I'm very pleased that you can have such an opinion!" The matter of teaching the druids is also being considered by this king, but the time is not yet ripe! Auguston's alliance with Hofton has disrupted my strategic deployment, I wanted to attack the palace of Madeya first, capture the gathering flag, and join the unicorn army, whether it is to pacify Auguston or recover the Druid's territory, we can reduce a lot of resistance, let us take the initiative, all the way! But now the king's strength is still small, and he still needs to endure humiliation! Take a break, take a break! ”

Marissa said disappointedly: "Your Majesty thinks that when will you be able to expand your power in this small city of Marishen?" Expand to the extent that His Majesty deems it sufficient to send troops? ”

"In the chaos of the world, there will always be opportunities! As long as he seizes an opportunity, this king can immediately take advantage of the situation and lead the northern expedition! Benjamin said, "With Josephine and you in the Druid Realm sharing the worries of this king, this king is still very relieved, hahaha!" “

"Is there no definite time?" Marissa said, "Your Majesty, you have changed! At the beginning, he was full of ambition and vowed to recover the forest country, and His Majesty who recovered the elves was no longer there, and there was only one Majesty who just wanted to sit back and enjoy the success and cherish the royal power! ”

"Marisa!" Benjamin was furious, "You dare to insult this king in court? ”

Marissa said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, if I say something wrong, I am willing to accept any punishment, if I don't say anything wrong, then please ask Your Majesty to prove it to us!" ”
