Chapter 979, Troop Hot Pot

Just when the army of Wolfenburg was pressing down on the border, Hawke led the capital Herzig.

It was the beginning of March, and Herzig was still very cold, but it was no longer uncomfortably cold. The army was resting in Herzig recently.

The stay of the army not only did not bring trouble to Herzig, but instead formed a huge and deformed prosperity. Various logistics supplies and military supplies from the south of the empire arrived at the front line one after another. The army stationed here not only did not appear because there were too many troops Instead, the resulting chaos was unprecedentedly stable in Hawkland and Herzig's public order due to the large number of troops stationed.

This made Edbrand, the Elector of the Hawke Land, secretly relieved, especially Ryan's army is extremely strict. Even under the garrison, the Britannian army still has to conduct very strict drills, and the management of knights It was the Duke of Bohemond and Morgiana who were doing it again, which allowed the Bretons to maintain good discipline and not disturb the people.

Middenheim is quite strict about this, except for those white wolf knights who tend to go crazy when drunk and whistle at women.

The King of Knights is sitting in his room, dealing with piles of various documents. As the commander and king of the army, not only has Ryan not sneaked in these days to make out with Morgiana, Veronica, Teresa and others all day long , On the contrary, there are so many things.

As a king, Ryan had to go through most of the documents and inquiries on various specific matters, including a large number of requests from the troops under his command and opinions among the nobles, as well as the list of military supplies and the distribution of military salaries, as well as a large number of reports from the empire And the movement of the army, as well as the scattered information obtained by a small number of scouts entering Ostland.

The many chores made Ryan quite irritable to deal with, but the King of Knights knew that there was no way to do it. After all, as the king and the coach, he had better look over many things in person. Only in this way can the smooth operation of the entire system be guaranteed. Control corruption as much as possible.

Of course, there is a certain degree of control in this, not not watching all of them, that is completely delegating power, not watching all of them, that will exhaust oneself to death, the typical example is the prime minister and Lao Zhu.

To put it simply, it is the style of Ryan's governance to look at the big things, check the small things immediately, and strike hard at any time. Fortunately, the King of Knights is full of energy.

At the same time, a love letter from Emilia was also sent to Ryan.

"The lion of Jin City, His Majesty the great knight King Ryan Malcador who has accomplished countless miracles, hereby congratulate you on your great victory in the Battle of the Three Kings."

"You are my love, the object of my heart, and my feelings and love for you are beyond words."

"The moment I received the letter,

I have decided to go to Herzig in person to meet you. "

"Because I want to get in touch with you who cared and loved me at the beginning~"

"Father, please wait for my good news."

"Emmanolie von Lebowitz Bernardino, Countess of the Empire."

"Sincerely, salute."

On the envelope was a faint bright red lip print.

"Oh~ that's great~ There are also love letters! Since Ryan and I met, he has written no more than two love letters to me!" Classical long dress with a low neckline and unbuttoned chest. The proud fullness is held tightly by the collar, creating a deep and seductive ravine. The straight and well-proportioned slender jade wraps around a pair of The fine-textured ultra-thin black patterned pantyhose paired with a pair of black red-soled lace-up high-heeled shoes, the proud female speaker is as attractive as a fully blooming flower, but unfortunately she is full of jealousy now, holding He read Emilia's love letter aloud, and then said angrily: "Lian, you are very relaxed and comfortable, do you still have time to write a love letter with your lord countess?"

"Lian, he never wrote me a love letter." Teresa is now Ryan's private secretary. The female sorceress is dressed in the standard OL attire today, with a black long windbreaker + white forged floral shirt and hip skirt. The temperament of a white-collar beauty, the silver jacquard pattern on the black thick stockings and the silver chain on the high-heeled boots are the finishing touches.

"Tsk tsk tsk, now my dear doesn't like us little witches~" Veronica said sourly.

"That's for sure. Ryan's favorite is probably those court ladies?" Teresa also followed the rhythm. The sorceress' face was flushed, and she was furious. Never wrote her a love letter at all!

She doesn't even have the capital to show off!

"That's right, my dear, Her Highness Morgana said that arrangements must be arranged, at least two letters per person!" Veronica waved Emilia's love letter in her hand unhappily, and then put it away. On Ryan's desk: "And the quality must pass!"

"Isn't it one? Why did it become two?" Ryan sat behind with a wry smile and looked at the documents. The Knight King's face was a little tired. He put the documents on hand and said helplessly: "I have I promised each of you a letter, so don’t force me anymore, right?”

"How is one letter enough?" Teresa said angrily, "Mogiana said you would write her two letters, so..."

Ryan looked at the sorceress' aggrieved look with some amusement, and the King of Knights stretched out his fingers and poked Theresa's waist lightly: "Pull~"

"Hmm!" Teresa's whole body softened like an electric shock, and the sorceress stretched out her hand to hammer Ryan in shame and annoyance. She covered her waist and eyes, which were sore and numb now.

"Don't avert your eyes!" Veronica put her hands on her hips, her breasts bouncing back and forth, and the female speaker said angrily, "Just say whether you can write or not!"

"This matter is not important now." Ryan quickly pulled out a new document from the pile of documents: "Honey, I have a task for you, a very important task."

"What task?" Veronica's attention was diverted.

"A large batch of new supplies has arrived at Herzig's Wharf along the Talabek River. Veronica, go and check with the Empire's logistics quartermaster." Ryan took out the documents and wrote a note to Vero Nika: "Bertrand and Raymond will assist you, remember to spot check immediately."

"Okay, okay, I'll go and look for you." Veronica also knew that the matter was important, so Witch Jialan reached out to take the note and walked out with a twist.

As soon as Veronica went out, only Ryan and Teresa were left in the room. When the sorceress saw Ryan's malicious gaze, she was so frightened that she wanted to run away. Unfortunately, her body was sore and limp. She quickly changed the subject: "Why should Let Veronica go? Aren't Lawne and Talleyrand responsible for this?"

"Lauen is a military aristocrat, and he is not very clear about the crooked ways of the people below. As for Talleyrand, if he doesn't restrain himself, what he will do is to share more." Ryan stretched out his hand and held Teresa directly. He pulled her over and let her sit on his lap with her back against him. The sorceress's delicate body was cold and comfortable to hold. Ryan inhaled deeply the aroma of lavender on her black waist-length hair, and said softly: "As for Belle Trump and Raymond don’t know enough about the logistics system, so they are easily deceived.”

"Military supplies?" Teresa struggled in Ryan's arms, and relaxed when she saw that she had no strength, and let Ryan take off her boots and wipe oil on her long black silk legs. The sorceress said unconvinced: "Then I can do it too. Why did you let Veronica go?"

"Hahahaha, that's because you have other tasks." Ryan laughed more and more maliciously.

"What...mission?" Teresa complained, but also looked forward to it.

"We still have so many documents to deal with!" Ryan brought another large stack of documents from the side, and the King of Knights put away his malicious expression: "Really, not fighting is more tiring than fighting."

"How about relaxing for half an hour?" Teresa leaned into Ryan's arms, and she whispered, "I feel a little strange recently, always..."

"Then, you have to keep your voice down!"

"I, I will try my best."

……… I am the dividing line with a lower voice………

Near Christopher's Castle, the old guard barracks.

The commander of the Old Guard, Bertrand Tarr, and the Battalion Commander of the Long Halberd Battalion of the Old Guard, Raymond Mountbatten, led forty or fifty Old Guards wearing winter coats and holding weapons to follow Vero Behind Nika, they are going to check the newly arrived military supplies and military pay today.

Raymond has had the right to have a surname since he obtained the title of knight. This old guard battalion commander who was born as a serf in his thirties has received olive branches from many noble families. In the end, he chose to accept the local famous At the invitation of Lord Philip Mountbatten, the aristocrat, he registered his surname as Mountbatten, which can be regarded as officially accepted by the nobles.

After Veronica handed the note to Bertrand, she naturally became the leader of the crowd. The charming and sweet female speaker led the crowd to prepare for the arrival of the Imperial transport fleet at the Hawker Wharf. Veronica's outfit was quite hot, and there were many people peeping and pointing along the way, but Veronica didn't care about this. As a witch, she had to face these things, and she was used to it for decades.

"Ms. Veronica, this is the current Herzig." Bertrand's holy emblem flashed on the forehead of the old guard commander Bertrand, and his mustache today was obviously specially trimmed and decorated, looking special Stylish, Bertrand followed Veronica, and said to her: "It's very abnormal prosperity, too many people are relying on our army to fill their stomachs."

"Yes, everyone knows that soldiers have money in their pockets. Every day after we finish eating, there is a large group of refugees waiting for leftovers outside the door. Women who are waiting to sell themselves, most of them are Kislev women." Raymond exhaled white mist from his mouth, and the old Guard Battalion Commander said to Veronica: "Now the Herzig refugees rely entirely on With the spending power of our troops still able to eat, I can’t imagine what would happen if we withdrew.”

"That's what happened after we withdrew." Veronica's voice was sweet, but her attitude was cold: "That's not something we should consider. The consumption of soldiers is already another way out for refugees. , Also, keep up the military discipline, don't bother Ryan, he has enough things."

"Please rest assured, Ms. Veronica, I have always strictly managed military discipline. Except for the day of the holiday, all soldiers can only go out for a while after dinner at night. We implement a strict curfew system, unless the soldiers don't want to Done." Bertrand thought for a while, but shook his head again: "But we can't control anything else, especially those serf infantry regiments, it is said that they like to spend money with Kislev women the most."

Veronica could only shake her head helplessly. It is indeed difficult to stop such a thing of your own accord. The management of the serf infantry regiment is also impossible to be as strict as that of a fully professional army like the Old Guard. As for the master knight We... There is no such requirement in the eight virtues of knights. It is said that Duke Bohemond himself has bought many Kislev girls to be his maids!

no! I'm going to keep an eye on Ryan! Veronica thought so, otherwise who knows if there will be a new little bitch to share resources?

A new anecdote emerged from the chatting of several people.

For the past week or two, a large number of poor people have gathered near the barracks of the Britannian army every day, waiting for the Britannian army to sell leftovers.

Among the military supplies provided by the empire, many of the meat are large-scale imperial Black Forest sausages, which are used to provide the Bretanians as meat, but most Bretanians are not used to this kind of meat. Heavy-tasting sausages, if it’s an ordinary serf infantry regiment, it’s okay, after all, it’s meat, but like the knight master, the old guard, and the engineer artillery unit, they won’t force themselves, they would rather buy it from the market with military pay I cook fresh meat by myself, and I don't like to eat the heavy sausages of the Imperials.

This results in a lot of wastage of sausages.

The cunning high elf, Mr. De Talleyrand-Maurice-Bennister, Lane's personal courtier, suddenly thought of a recipe for getting rich. Talleyrand asked people to collect sausages and leftovers that were despised by the knights and the old guards The leftovers were taken outside the barracks and sold at a very cheap price to the poor and refugees in Hawkland.

I, Talleyrand, am also a great philanthropist!

As long as a few copper coins, you can get two pieces of hard black bread and a piece of sausage with a few copper coins. The items are limited and while stocks last! If you buy it, you will earn it. Don’t come again when the opportunity is not lost. Welcome new and old friends to come and buy!

The poor and refugees were very grateful. In Hawker Land, where supplies are scarce and meat is rare, these leftovers are the only source of meat for many people. A few copper coins are high-quality and cheap, and are very popular among people.

The Bretons sold these sausages to avoid waste, which is in line with the spirit of chivalry. The knight lords and the old guards are also very satisfied with their good deeds, and suddenly feel that they have noble virtues.

In the end, Talleyrand made a lot of money by himself from this business. Although the price was cheap, the cripple, who had no cost to speak of, relied on quantity to win, and his small coffers became thicker and thicker.

Everyone was happy, and the leader of Hawke returned home with the leftovers, boiled water, threw the food into the pot, added some salt and stewed it with local sauces, and ate the meat happily.

The boiling cauldron, the hot food, the white smoke curling up, and a few people cooking and eating in the house are the only solace in the dark age.

This kind of food is called "army hot pot".

Bertrand and Raymond really couldn't laugh or cry when they talked about this.

After hearing this story, Veronica laughed wildly, and the chairman of the sorceress assembly laughed with her hands on her hips and almost lost her breath.

What a cunning lame! To think of such an idea!

Veronica suddenly felt that she still needed to broaden her thinking.

After an anecdote was over and everyone laughed, Herzig's pier was in sight.

However, today's situation is somewhat different. Apart from a large number of transport ships bringing in new supplies, several large warships and a large passenger ship have priority in docking at the port.

The hatch opened, and a group of royal knights in full armor appeared on the pier with shining armor and crimson feathers, headed by a tall general with the image of a typical brave warrior.

His armor is polished to shine like a mirror, his strong arms are as tough and unyielding as his courage, and of course, there is the iconic long waxed mustache and unique eagle-winged helmet.

Rick Marshal Helberg led the Rick Guard, the Kronborg Great Sword Regiment, and the Brunswick Glory Guard arrived!

He also arrived with the emperor's personal champion, the flag bearer of the empire, and the sanctuary powerhouse Ludwig Schwarzhammer! The old man with a white beard was tall, strong, and unsmiling, but he led the soldiers ashore calmly.

Veronica's face changed slightly. Before she could go up to say hello, another new warship also docked!

On the warship hangs the banner of the city coat of arms with the golden lion and balance on a black background from Nur!

Nur's army has arrived too!

The Nuer Iron Armored Army and the Blackstone Guard, the personal guard of the Lady of the Empire, quickly landed from the warship, and they immediately formed a very neat two-row queue. The Nuer Grand Marshal Erstein and the Nuer Judge Theodore Brook Na got off the boat one after another, and then stood on both sides and waited.

A gorgeous figure appeared from the cabin, the flame-like red dress and the black-gold coat outside made her look even more noble and inviolable.

"Long time no see, Ms. Veronica!"

"How are you doing these days?"

Updated, ask for votes! The Son of Heaven needs more essence!
