105. The city in ruins
The war ended for a moment, but what was left was a long-lasting pain.
The final death count this time was better than Lance imagined. The population of more than 70,000 in Feront County was reduced to 43,000 in this battle, and more than 20,000 people died in total. It turned out that when the Goblin invaded, many civilians who had realized it later hid in hidden places and hid, and thus escaped the disaster.
*Goblins have a lower vision and do not have the ability to perceive and sensitive smell.
In addition, the training regiment in Feront County was not defeated by the Goblin army as Lance imagined. Instead, after discovering the Goblin, they immediately took action. They knew very well that Lance's brother-in-law, Feront County, so they rushed to the town hall to support, but they just missed the opportunity to meet with Lance. As the leader, several old subordinates made the same choice as Lance, which was to send people to Goblin to bring rescue soldiers, and the remaining people began to rescue the suffering civilians everywhere, and at the same time inquire about the whereabouts of the county magistrate.
Perhaps it is because of their activity that the casualties statistics in Feront County can be kept below 20,000.
Lance handed over the thick list in his hand to Mosen. After receiving the information for help from Feront County, the Finance Minister who came from Guruling also showed great courage at the time, proving that Lance did not see the wrong person. Before leaving Guruling, Lance had instructed him to hand over the power of Guruling. In name, he was Mosen and the acting county magistrate of Guruling, but the stationed troops might not buy it. As a result, Mosen called the alarm without saying a word and upgraded Guruling to a state of war. He also ordered the Dragon Corps to set off immediately!
It means that after a lot of mercenaries and cavalry had not even figured out what they had to face next. They were forcibly dragged onto the battlefield by this logistics official. They even thought that the rebellion of Feronte County was the county magistrate. This was asked to go to the verdict. However, after they arrived in Feronte County, the battle had been completed. Everyone was wondering, and they worked hard and ran over. Tell us, ah, there is nothing wrong here, you can rest and go back, what's the matter?
Just when he was upset, Lance appeared. Unlike Feront County, Lance's reputation in Gulu Ridge is probably more than his father, Lord Reelton. As soon as he appeared, no one would worry about this.
Lance did not rush to dismiss the army, but instead incorporated it with the original organization of Feronte County and temporarily stayed in Feronte County.
Of course, many people were unhappy when this request was put forward.
Damn, I haven't brushed my relic copy today.
Damn, you're a trick, Lord County. I just bought today's Sam, Cardichu and Winster in the morning, and I'm still waiting for me to go to the arena to redeem the prize and get money.
Regarding this kind of voice, Lance only said, "It is good to stay. Those who dare to sneak away will suffer if you are suffering." After this sentence, the whole world became quiet - you are the boss, you can just say whatever you say.
Lance left this army. Of course, there was a reason to not just use excuses like Baron Ankasa. For example, the nonsense that Feronte County is now empty, and the construction of city defense and population recovery will take time. But another purpose -
migrate.
This word is literally understood as moving from one place to another, but the actual application to the present situation is different.
"Ferront County does have too many advantages over Guruling. Lord Lance's consideration is understandable, but the timing is very problematic. The foundation of the adult is in Guruling. If he relocated rashly now, it would not only cause the situation that Guruling has finally maintained to collapse, but also the reputation of his adult will be affected." After thinking for a while, Mosen said seriously to Lance.
As an aide, no matter what Lance's final decision was, Mosen had to consider the matter comprehensively as much as possible and help Lance analyze the pros and cons.
Mosen mentioned these points, Lance naturally thought about it. When it comes to migration, it is not just to move Lance's county magistrate's mansion in Gulu Ridge to Feronte County, but to shift the focus of military, government and even economics. The result of this is obviously better than Lance. The reason why Golu Ridge was able to develop was entirely a series of reforms launched by Lance, but even so, the development power and vision of Golu Ridge alone are far inferior to other counties.
The reason why merchants are willing to invest and the reason why mercenaries are willing to settle in Guruling is more or less directly related to the county magistrate. If Lance has moved, he has run away casually, then how many of the merchants and adventurers who bought land in Guruling are willing to guard a remote county that seems to be abandoned by the county magistrate?
If Lance wants to develop Feronte County, he must transfer some of the resources he has in his hands. At that time, it will be a foreseeable thing to decline in Guruling where merchants and troops evacuate one after another.
Mosen's analysis was very clear, but Lance soon sacrificed his magic weapon.
"Don't worry, I have my considerations on this issue. As long as the portal is built, the problem you mentioned should be solved easily. At that time, the boundaries of the town will disappear, and only the division of regions will be divided."
After saying this, Mosen nodded.
But he was still a little worried: "In this way, if you need to use the portal in everything, it will be a bit stressful, right?"
Lance disagreed with this: "Can you build a few more? Place one in each of the four directions of east, west, south and north, and then let the security team in the city take some care of it - say hello to the Baron, and let his East Gate County connect to Feronte County."
Seeing that Lance had made up his mind, Mosen stopped talking.
But this matter involves too much. Lance just explained this intention to Mosen and others, and did not focus on implementation. At present, more focus is on the reconstruction of Feront County, resettlement of refugees and local defense.
After the Goblin disaster ended two days ago, a message brought back by Heigang made Lance feel alert.
Of course, Lance had already explained the matter and left everyone behind, and exchanged information with Heigang alone. When Lance asked why Heigang suddenly returned to the rescue, General Black Ant, who had always been loyal to Lance, rarely hesitated for a moment.
"In fact, the young master, someone came to remind us."
"Who is it?" Lance was very clear that he had not found anyone to report the message to Heigang. First, their army had no direction at all, only about the general direction, and it was very difficult to find them. Second, when the messenger really caught up with their whereabouts, they might have discovered that this was a trap. It took too long to help, so there was no need. It would be better to go to Gululing honestly for help.
But judging from the speed of Heigang and his return, it was obvious that he changed direction and turned back when he was halfway through. At this time, it would be incredible to say that someone had already known Lance's danger and came to Heigang and came to Heigang. But he said this and Lance didn't have to doubt the authenticity of what the other party said. He could only get the answer from Heigang.
Seeing Lance's gaze coming to the bottom, Heigang did not rush to speak, but took out his pocket and found out what he handed to Lance.
Lance was stunned after seeing it.
"Is it her?" He looked up at Heigang. As if he had thought of something, he took a paper crane from Heigang: "Is it really her? Where is she now?"
Heigang glanced at Fiona, not far from DeLance and the others, leaned over and said, "The person was not staying. She asked me to send you a message, 'The fiancée is good, pretty'."
Lance was amused by these words. This was too false, and he knew it was not true at first. He recalled the woman named Angelia in his memory. The origin of this woman has always been mysterious in memory. The two of them first met in the tavern in the Lords Fort.
At that time, the playboys looked like a male dog who suddenly appeared in a tavern. She smelled the fragrance of bones. She rushed up, but they all came back in dismay. Lance didn't intend to make things boring, but the other party gave him a glamorous look for no reason, and the playboys around him started to make a fuss. If Lance admits to his conspiracy, he will not be able to survive in this circle.
Lance then brought a glass of wine to the table, and the beauty who was so arrogant to everyone did not refuse this time. After that, Lance added a nickname called Lucky Lance, but this nickname didn't take long and became a lonely love saint - because after he and Angelia had been entangled for a while, the latter disappeared for no reason, which really made Lance a little disappointed.
However, the biggest impression of this woman is that she likes to call Lance "little lover". From this point of view, Lance thinks that she may be a married woman, but later Lance thinks about it carefully and doesn't look like her, because Angelia occasionally asks Lance if she wants to marry her.
Note that it is to marry rather than marry. The identity of Lord Lance's son is almost known to everyone in the Lord's Fort. Lance does not believe that a woman as smart as Angelia would not know. Of course, he would not agree to such a ridiculous thing, and Angelia would always make up a charming smile at this time and say to Lance: "Just kidding."
Lance remembered that she said she would not get married because she could not stand her spouse dying and she lived alone, or found another spouse to cycle. From this, Lance felt that she should come from a very long-lived race, although she looked like an ordinary demon.
This woman is a little arrogant and confident in everything, but occasionally she has a side of being a dependent person. Of course, only when facing Lance alone or in bed, the time she had been with her should be the most self-disciplined time in the Lords Castle. Angelia was a little jealous, but her method was completely different from Fiona's rough elimination of love rivals - she was so angry like a little woman, she was close to Lance, and was fascinated by this great love who was famous in the Lords Castle.
But in the end, she left.
I woke up like a dream, and when I came, I was so sudden, and when I left, I had no news, and no news was left.
So Lance is still not sure about his relationship with Angelia. Perhaps it is just like the other party called him, he is her little lover.
However, the woman who was buried deep in her memory appeared quietly this time. At this moment, Lance was sure that the spring-meng was also Angelia being tricked, but she came but did not show up, which made Lance somewhat strange.
Lance's gaze that he withdrew from his memories fell on the neatly stacked paper crane in his hand. Origami was a hobby of the woman and it was also a kind of mood. However, what Lance cares about was that he seemed to have read some special information from the paper crane.
The paper crane has ink marks on it. After Lance dismantled the paper crane, a line of messages appeared on it.
"Little lover, my sister will leave first if she has urgent matters this time. Next time she has time, she will come back to see you. By the way, recently, because the door of time and space is about to open, the elemental disorder in the abyss will catalyze the growth of monsters. There may be more troublesome creatures coming out next, but be careful."
After seeing this sentence, Lance finally understood the meaning of his words "Lord Relton" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
