174. Temporary stability
Sean motioned Cecilia to come closer, and the little guy obediently walked over, so Sean put it on her head, rubbed it, and said with a smile: "What should you be, since I am the lord, then these things are naturally my business." …… You, as long as you are a magician, you can rest assured. ”
Cecilia smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, just hummed softly.
William stood aside, looking at the two who were not brother and sister but seemed to be brother and sister, and chose to be a mute for the time being. However, in the bottom of his heart, Cecilia's opinion is no longer the weak girl evaluation before, William felt for the first time that Cecilia was worthy of being the daughter of a former archduke who grew up between two huge empires in the Duchy of Rembell, and in solving the problem of war and blood feud left over from the territory, she could be cold-blooded enough to consume half of the young man in the town.
Even a seasoned lord may not be able to be ruthless after hesitating for a long time, but Cecilia made a decision without blinking an eye. And if it weren't for Cecilia's policy, how could William let the Serpent of Hubbard attack the center of the town, even Hubbinder knew the truth that the soldiers were noble and fast, and William would not know the Dao?
It's just that this approach is only suitable for the situation in Momiji Town.
Because the contradiction between the two in Red Leaf Town has existed for a long time, they have only slightly accelerated the confrontation process. As for the situation of the other two towns, Dabrohn is already a real dead town, and there is no other way to retake it by means of war, but it is another town without a name, which really does not even have a stitch.
This town is perhaps the biggest hidden danger that can really exist in Sean's territory.
It's just that I don't know how much effect Cecilia can play in the end by using the foreshadowing laid by the war in Red Leaf Town. If it can be really successful, maybe this hidden danger can be eliminated, if not, then who knows if there will be another territorial civil strife in the future?
William came back to his senses and saw that Cecilia was asleep next to Sean.
Today's fierce battle is not just Sean's physical and mental exhaustion. Cecilia was also very expensive. And after that, it was a bumpy ride back from Momiji Town. And then he has to fetch water to take care of Sean, after being busy, Cecilia can hold on to her spirit until now, this perseverance and heart are common to appear in children from poor families, but it is not common to appear in Cecilia, the former luxury noble child, William is also a little curious about how Cecilia has lived these years.
But. All of this may really be a dead knot.
Cecilia doesn't say, Sean doesn't ask, how does the world know?
Turning his head, William saw that Sean was still fighting and seemed to be thinking about something, so he didn't bother to continue standing, and lay on the spot very casually. With his eyes fixed on the ceiling, he asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
This is a room on the third floor of the ruined castle - although the Black Swan Castle is stated to be four stories high, it is actually only three floors, and the top floor is the top of the castle. This room is the only room in the entire castle that has been cleaned, judging from the layout of the room, it should be the master bedroom of the former Viscount of Shaof, but now this room is not furnished. It looks exceptionally empty.
Cecilia curled up to the side like a kitten. There was a blanket where she slept, which she had taken from Momiji. Sean struggled to his feet. Pull up the other half of the blanket where she hadn't been pressed down, and then cover Cecilia's body, her face looking very soft.
Then Sean lay down again and whispered, "Thinking about the future." ”
"Future?" William suddenly felt that these two words were very heavy.
Sean didn't say anything more, but in his imagination, there was an extremely vast map, starting from the Black Swan Castle and extending to the southwest, across most of the wild land, and straight into the dark region in the northeast corner of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire.
This is the territory that Sean expected.
It's just that the people in this world would be so easy for themselves to take such a piece of land?
Sean glanced at Cecilia again, and laughed at himself helplessly: It doesn't look like I'm really a person with lord talents, and even this kind of thing needs Cecilia to worry about and bear for me, and said that he would avenge her and hold up a piece of the sky......
William rolled over, just in time to see Sean's clenched fists, and he turned back, pretending not to see anything. It's just that in his heart, like Sean, he has made up a certain determination, but what this determination is, I'm afraid it has become an unsolvable mystery just like how Cecilia has spent all these years.
……
The reconstruction of Red Leaf Town is progressing quite smoothly.
But in fact, there is nothing to rebuild, just to clean up the corpses left by the battle and the blood stains on the streets. It's just that in some places where the battle is more tragic, the strong smell of blood is probably difficult to dispel in a short period of time. The corpses of the militiamen who died in the war were all recovered and buried in a unified manner - under the order of "Sean", the town specially opened up a cemetery with a large area, just behind the old temple, which is the resting place of all the militia killed in battle, and the establishment of the Heroes Monument is also proceeding step by step, and the first month's blood money has been distributed.
Although these can't really heal the pain of this town, a large part of it dilutes the sadness of Momiji Town.
Two or three days later, the town is back on its normal trajectory.
The establishment of the Puda militia regiment, Sean did not cancel it, but officially established the combat establishment of this militia regiment, and also announced that Puda was the first head of this militia regiment. However, since it is a militia regiment, it will naturally not be the establishment of a regular army, but as a reserve force in the territory, although it is nominally under the command of William, but in fact this militia regiment has a certain degree of autonomy.
This point was proposed by William.
In William's opinion, the Puda militia has a certain potential, but this potential is not enough to become a regular army in the territory, and the town of Red Leaf has just experienced a major disaster, and is currently in a state of recovery, so it is not suitable to be included in William's command system at this time. It will take time to truly assimilate and make this militia a real reserve force, but as long as Puda supports Sean in this matter, then the final dominance of the militia will never be lost.
And Sean. Although there is no such analytical ability as William. But he saw it better than anyone else.
For no other reason, Sean has a cheat like [True Eye].
The data shown in his eyes showed that the Puda militia could only exert the combat capabilities of the regular army here in Red Leaf Town, and once it left Red Leaf Town, this army was just a first-class army.
The first level of the army, that is, barely at the stage of recruits. It is usually used to maintain the security of a small town or village. As for the city, it is generally used to maintain law and order with the second-level army, and even in some cities with some fame or prosperity enough, it is even necessary to use the strength of the third-level army to maintain law and order, such as Arthur City and Anrola City, which were led by Tindes, and the city defense army was directly used to maintain the law and order of the city.
So the Puda militia regiment. It can only be used for the maintenance of law and order in Momiji Town, and if you want to really go to the battlefield to fight, you can only use steel wings and those archers. Except for the twenty Iron Wing soldiers left behind in the Black Swan Castle, the remaining two teams totaling more than 140 people are all under the command of William, and are currently stationed in the camp outside Red Leaf Town.
Anno, a big man, was also sent by Sean to protect William.
In addition to the fact that Hongye Town has officially returned to its previous life trajectory, the reconstruction of the Black Swan Castle has also officially begun.
But the so-called reconstruction work. In fact, it is to recruit some servants first. Then the entire castle was cleaned up. As for actually renovating the entire castle, that's not what is possible at the moment - not that Sean is reluctant to spend money. It's that even if he is willing to spend money, it's useless, because the building materials of the Black Swan Castle are black steel stones made by cutting and processing the black reef rocks produced in the Black Reef Grassland, even if Sean can organize people to mine the black reef rocks in the Black Reef Grassland, he doesn't have the corresponding black steel stone processing and production formula, so he can only buy it through procurement.
It's just that the current situation in the territory has not been completely stabilized, and Sean really can't spare manpower to purchase these stones for the time being.
And without stones, it is naturally impossible to repair the Black Swan Castle, but as a castle, there is not even a city gate, and the gate is completely open and entered, which is not a thing, so after Sean spent a hundred gold coins to get a drawing of the castle's gate, he could only start for the castle's gate for the time being.
In response to this, Sean felt a little incredible.
Or rather, it was very incomprehensible to him.
Because the blueprint of the construction of the city gate had to be drawn by himself - the gold coin suddenly disappeared from his eyes in an instant, and then he suddenly had more miscellaneous knowledge about the city gate in his mind, and then he had to draw the blueprint of the city gate on a piece of drawing paper himself, and then throw it to an architect next to him who was still thinking about how to repair the castle gate.
The architect was dumbfounded on the spot, because the architectural drawings of this city gate happened to be built for the internal structure of the entire city gate in terms of the specifications of the city gate, and it was not complicated, and it only needed to remove all three gates of the old city gate before this new city gate could be installed. And the selection of the city gate is also the easiest material to get at the moment, the Anglodar Mountains are full of trees, just cut down some and then process and combine, you can make this city gate.
The only drawback, however, is that the gate is unlikely to be strong.
However, the architect soon discovered that the architectural drawings were just a basic framework, and if there were any new ideas in the future, they could be rebuilt around the city gate without the need for a large reconstruction.
For a while, the architect admired Sean, the new lord, and thought that this was an architectural wizard.
Of course, he thought more that this lord seemed to have a so-called miracle, maybe this could also be regarded as a manifestation of a miracle?
But no matter what others think, at least Sean still has a lot of troubles, although he has recovered Red Leaf Town, his "territory" is also in a relatively stable situation for the time being, but the other two territories have not yet returned, after all, it is a thorn, which makes Sean's heart a little uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
PS: I just noticed that the title of the previous chapter was missing a word. To be precise, it should be "I should be the bad guy". I don't know what the road is for, I always feel very tired today, I can't stand it in the afternoon, I run to sleep again, this feeling is more obvious, it's very tangled. …… In the next chapter, I'll try to get out before twelve, hmm...... It's just a matter of fighting. Because I've been scolded for being too watery recently, I have slightly revised the outline and plot direction, and some subsequent chapters need to be reconsidered and redesigned.
