Chapter 152, Snowy Fog (1)
Hundreds of gold coins and a dozen fine carpets were extorted, and Klose became in a good mood.
He took out a lollipop from the supermarket and gave one to each of the Dark Demon soldiers, and of course Lana had one.
The two of them sat in the carriage, and Klose briefed Lana on the current state of his territory and the troubles he was facing.
"That's it, Ms. Lana. The biggest headache and the most urgent problem to solve right now is to make ends meet.... Although our goods are very sought-after, the gold coins we have somehow earned have been spent in a few days.... It's like when I went out this time, I probably spent more than 2,000 gold coins before and after? ”
Lana "poofed" and almost choked on her own saliva.
"What? You spent more than 2,000 gold coins on getting here from Holger? How do you spend it? Can you teach me? ”
Klose scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "That's it, I'm still holding on to the flowers, otherwise this number won't be able to stop at all." ”
"What!? OMG! I didn't expect there to be such a squandering person in this world? You're the only one I've ever seen in my life. ”
"Uh.... Can I be a compliment when you say this? Klose asked.
Lana showed a confused expression and smiled, "Compliment? Of course, it's complimenting you, and complimenting you on your cheekiness is unmatched. ”
"Hahaha~~~"
Klose laughed happily: "It's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like this, Ms. Lana~~ I have to say that you are very special!" I like it! ”
Lana suddenly distanced herself from Klose, stared at him with a wary look and asked, "I seem to be a few years older than you, right?" And we've only known each other for the first day, so what about your aristocratic reserve? Is that sentence just now a confession to me? ”
Klose wanted to slap himself. He forgot that people in this world can't seem to make such jokes lightly. But this Lana... When I was with her, I felt like I was communicating with the earthlings of my previous life, and I got carried away for a while... Forgot to speak in a measured manner.
What if he misunderstands that I'm confessing to her? I'm not a frivolous person.
Lana saw Klose's embarrassed expression, and laughed again: "Hehehe~~~ Teasing you, I know you just said it casually, after all, I'm twenty-three years old this year, and what about you?" I'm afraid it's just over adulthood, right? ”
Klose said, "yes, I'm almost seventeen years old, right?" ”
"Probably? Your answer is fresh. So, this time I went to Bankaz to attend my sister's wedding? ”
Klose nodded, thinking to himself that since he was sincere in recruiting the female genius, he had to show some sincerity.
"The main purpose is, of course, to attend my sister's wedding, and secondly, to recruit some more capable young officials," he said. After all, there are many warriors in my territory, but civilian officials are relatively scarce. ”
"That's it.... It seems that Lord Klose has no small ambitions. ”
"Ambition?"
Klose was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved his hand: "What's there, I'm just to make it easier to manage those lords and want to make their lives better, I don't have any ambitions." I feel that the best state now is that I am building in my territory and making a fortune, and it has nothing to do with me if others fight to the death. ”
Lana smiled playfully, "Really? But from what I've observed, those of your soldiers seem to be quite brave and good at fighting..."
"What else can you see? Hu Boruke didn't tell me that his sister still knew how to lead soldiers into battle. ”
"No, my little lord~ It's not difficult to see this, even if I don't know how to lead troops to fight, it doesn't prevent me from judging whether an army can fight. For example, the city defense army brought by the city lord just now, I guess one of your men can fight ten of them. The most important thing is that those soldiers of yours are actually a multi-racial mixed army~ This is not like the behavior of a lord who lives in a corner of the world. ”
Klose scratched his nose with some weakness. In fact, when it comes to fighting for the throne and expanding outward, he may have dreamed of it in his dreams, but if you really let him do it, he won't really be interested.
He prefers everyone to have a bonfire party together, eat and drink, so much fun! Why do you have to fight to the death?
Could it be that people are really born aggressive at the beginning? He shook his head and couldn't get an answer, so he could only spread his hands and say, "I don't know how to explain it to you, but my ideal is very simple, that is, to do the things in front of me first." After all, the budget is on the verge of a deficit, and the reason for all this is the lack of a financial manager like you. Although Poru has done a good job, his energy alone is limited. Coupled with the fact that the population of the territory is increasing, and the territory is getting larger and larger, the manpower is even more stretched. ”
Nana nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more. She wanted to observe the little lord with her own eyes for a while longer, to see if the other party was worthy of her allegiance.
-------------------------------------
However, just as Klose led his team north to Bhangaz, Sieg sneezed into the Coldwind Ridge outside the Chill Mountains.
"Ahh Kindness? How can you sneeze suddenly? Is someone saying bad things about me? ”
"Are you alright, my lord? It's windy here, so you have to pay attention to your body. ”
The lieutenant general Dios looked at the Duke of Silver Lion who rubbed his nose inexplicably, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
Sigur rubbed his nose and shook his spirits, "Am I like the kind of little woman who will be knocked down by a little cold wind?" ”
"Of course you're not."
Dios replied truthfully.
"Is it clear? Why did the Snow Barbarian make such a big move this time? ”
Hearing his own duke's question, Dios's face instantly became gloomy.
"My lord, I'm afraid this time.... There is infiltration by foreign forces. Although the snow barbarian caught a few spies, but.... They all chose to bite their tongues and commit suicide in the first place. And we found out... Not only did they become more cunning, but they all wore uniform clothes and became more and more like a regular army. ”
"Hmph... I hate to admit it, but these barbarians are indeed born warriors... If they knew a little more about marching and fighting... It's going to get tougher to deal with. ”
Sigur glanced at the snow-covered Cold Realm Mountains, brandished his horsewhip and said loudly, "All the staff will retreat to the camp first!" Scouts in pairs give me non-stop scouting for enemy movements! ”
"Yes!"
Sigur led his personal guard, the Silver Horse, back to the camp beyond Coldwind Ridge.
This time, the scale of the attack of the snow barbarians in the north was more fierce than in previous years!
Sieg vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this, because these snow barbarians had actually learned some simple marching tactics!
If these already physically strong warriors become smart again, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare for their Misty Lands!
If you can't even subdue the tiger next to the couch, how can you talk about that great ideal? And how to end the centuries-long war and strife in the Six Kings Continent....
Yes, Sieg said in a casual conversation with Klose that his ideal is to end the current situation of the continent being divided and fighting each other, and he wants to turn the Six Kings Continent into a large and unique empire again!
He wanted to make the continent no longer have wars, so he used the Thunder Trick to quickly integrate several small countries around the Misty Lands.
And it turns out that the people there, after being swallowed up by the silver lion, are much better off than before.
Although Klose expressed a different opinion at the time, he still admired Sig's ideal.
Using war to end war is like the truth that long pain is better than short pain, although it is rude, but it is also a way.
And he, the Duke of the Silver Lion, definitely has that strength!
At the moment when Sigur jumped off his horse, he asked the soldier who was leading the horse next to him, "What about Miss Rebecca?" ”
"Oh, Miss Rebecca is helping out in the wounded barracks."
With a smile on his face, Sieg strode towards the wounded barracks.
On this trip, he took Rebecca with him and fulfilled his promise.
Although their marriage was postponed due to the Snow Man's invasion, Sigurt strictly enforced his vows from the day he made them.
And Rebecca is different from the average delicate aristocratic lady! Not only is she brave, beautiful, and kind, but she often goes to the wounded barracks to help care for the wounded when Sig goes on the expedition.
The wounded soldiers were thrilled to receive her treatment, after all, this is the future queen!
I was taken care of by the queen for an injury, and this must not be blown up for a lifetime!?
