Chapter 465 Seizing the Opportunity
In the past month, almost all of Sally's orders have encountered various resistances. It seems that after one winter, most of the other nobles in Efta have stood on the opposite side of themselves—this kind of thing has happened before, but Never been so blatant...
Taxes cannot be collected, the people are frequently harassed by "bandits", and negative news about Sally's "chaotic private life" is spread everywhere. When such low-handed and despicable means are pressed from all directions, Sally is really annoyed. popular
What made her even more unbearable was that the "Futhorium Mine" she wanted to prepare for Rody, was quarreling almost to the point of tearing her face because of the joint obstruction of seven or eight nobles inside and outside the territory!
No matter how they negotiated, the other party just refused to let go, and even forcibly sent someone to start the mine exploration, with a completely "I will eat you, you can't do anything to me" face...
If it was something else, Sally might choose to "think long-term", but this "rich thorium mine" is definitely not right now - because it is what she decided to give to Rody, and no one can take it away!
The guys, headed by Viscount Anru and Earl Borach, knew that they could not declare the "ownership of the mine" at this time, so they sent a letter of "invitation to discuss" to Sally, saying that they hoped that she could participate in the "mine" at the end of March. Da Vinci Territory held a grand "spring hunting" event, during which time a group of nobles also had a "friendly" discussion on these issues.
The "Da Vinci Territory" is right next to the Cote Mountains where the mine is now, and belongs to a baron under the rule of Efta, but the signature of this letter is Viscount Anru. Such an arrogant attitude can be said to have completely angered Sally...
However, Sally is not someone who is ready to do it when her head is hot. After thinking about it for a while, she understands that this is a trap deliberately set by the other party. People's hearts are fluctuating, this time the other party united against him is by no means a coincidence, if he chooses to avoid and not solve the problem, I am afraid that he will be completely passive, and will completely lose his prestige in the following period of time, and let the other party manipulate him.
Political confrontations are often made of wrong moves, and all games are lost. She also remembers her father's ups and downs back then, and she doesn't want to lose ten years of voice because of a single retreat.
But if you go to this event by yourself...
Sally frowned tightly, and her stretched fingers clenched and loosened. After repeated several times, she turned around and came to the desk, and said to John, "Go and inform Titus and the Knight of Wellington that I will be back at the end of March. Go to the appointment and get them ready.txtComplete Works Download/"
Immediately, she began to write a letter to Roddy—Sally is not a girl who wants to be strong, and she knows that this kind of decision is of great importance, so she wrote all the current tensions in the territory in the letter. After everything is over He immediately asked John to send it out.
"At the end of March... at the end of March..."
Father Angmar spent a lot of money on border warning and defense, so she was also worried about the dynamics of the orcs. However, picking up the recent inspection reports of the nearby fortresses, Sally felt relieved: since the beginning of winter last year, none of the guard posts had any sightings of orcs in the past four months. "In-depth investigation" did not find the slightest sign of intrusion.
"It should be... no problem."
Sally said to herself.

"Long live the Great Chief!"
"Roar!"
Hundreds of kilometers away on the Nehemia prairie, the roar of orcs came from the tent in the central camp of "Sarotah". The three warlords and the great chief Sauron jointly raised their weapons and pointed towards the outside of the camp. The soldiers announced the decision to "prepare for the expedition"—
"Soldiers... Let's start accumulating strength for our road to conquest!"
"The orcs will rule over all!"
The wave of cheers was higher and higher, even though many of these orcs had never been on the battlefield, the madness buried in their blood still made their shouts full of aggression...
"Then... everything will be done according to the arrangement of the great chief, and I will go back first."
"Godard, you must perform well when the time comes. You are the bravest warrior of the Sarota tribe. How much resources you can plunder depends on your ability."
"Those reptiles wait for destruction! Haha—"
Seeing Godard laughing wildly and leaving, Sauron was not overly excited, but rather worried: Orcs are not as easy to control as humans. Although most of these compatriots are simple-minded and have no scheming, what worries him the most is, After the number of people accumulates to a certain level, the madness in the bones of the orcs will often make them collectively irrational...
"Hopefully, everything goes according to plan."
He clenched the chain hammer in his hand, turned and returned to the tent.
However, Sauron didn't know that the excitement and excitement just now had disappeared from the face of the warlord Godard who had gone away.
The expression full of joy disappeared the moment he left the tent, and he walked forward with a sullen face, his strong and heavy body with awe-inspiring aura, making the orcs around him back away. After striding onto his own wolf, Godard spat fiercely to the side, and said in a low voice, "What a coward..."
Obviously, he was not as agreeable and satisfied with Sauron's decision as it appeared on the surface.
After reuniting with his wolf cavalry guards, Godard led these subordinates towards the territory under his jurisdiction on the grassland. After traveling for a full two hours, a heavily guarded camp appeared in front of him.
Compared with the obsessive-compulsive layout of the Sarota resident, this is the purest "beast camp": coolies build animal pens amid the scolding of the overseers, the smell of feces always lingers in the nose, and the orcs in simple clothes The soldiers shouted hello, and everything around them exuded a dirty and barbaric atmosphere.
But looking at all this, Godard's mood is much better than before.
"My lord, we meet again."
As soon as he entered the camp, the orc in the hood and black robe stopped Godard in his footsteps, but it was clear that his relationship with the other party had become much closer during this time, and he seemed to have lost his previous vigilance.
Godard sat down on the side with a golden knife, and said in a deep voice: "Sauron pushed the time of the expedition to the middle of April. This is the situation I worked hard for, otherwise he can't wait to go out in June..."
The black-robed orc smiled stiffly: "With such a result, it shows that your influence in the tribe is second only to Great Chief Sauron."
His words were very provocative, and Godard could of course hear it, but he squinted his eyes and said nothing, and continued: "How can those fragile humans stop us? Just need the team to pull open and push over. Still need to plan and plan like this? I heard that Sauron learned all these things from human beings—oh, human beings are like rabbits on the prairie. Instead of being wolves, we have to be rabbits. Hmph, wait a minute fight..."
"When the war comes, all prestige and power can be seized at will. My master hopes that Lord Overseer can seize this opportunity, and..."
The black-robed orc paused, and lowered his voice three times after confirming that there was no one around: "Although the war will start in April, my master hopes that you can seize a special opportunity..."
After a few words, Godard's eyes lit up, but he didn't immediately agree: "It's useless to just tell me that. Although I am willing to go to the battlefield, it doesn't mean that I am willing to be an idiot to die."
"That's natural..." The black-robed orc took a few steps, stretched out his hand and pulled up the curtain - in the bright outdoor, a group of orc coolies were working hard to carry all kinds of baggage, such a scene finally satisfied the warlord a little bit Head: "Heh... In this case, I really can't wait."
Godard grinned, as if he had seen the sight of humans being chopped to pieces.

"A little bit to the left! Okay, okay, hold this place..."
"The reinforcements on the antlers must be nailed tight!"
"The steel plate at the chest position needs to be doubled in thickness."
On the school grounds in Elson City, the tall "Train King" was standing with a dull face. There were two specially built wooden frames on both sides of his body, and more than a dozen blacksmiths were rushing to put pieces of scales on them. Armor spliced to its body.
Of course, this set of armor is only the first time to try it on, so it took a full two hours just to put the Fendi elk on the "half body armor".
"There is no problem with the frontal protection, just confirm that the flanks can cut through the attack of the spear." Rody explained the improvement requirements to the blacksmiths beside him, and then jumped onto the saddle with four-sided prismatic guards on the back of the "Locomotive King" , condescendingly made a few actions to simulate archery and nodded: "Okay, keep busy, don't forget to feed the grass."
The "Train King", which was originally harmless to humans and animals, now looks like a "mobile fortress". Rody stretched out his hand and patted its front legs, then turned and walked towards the Pasha'er Tower.
Although there are no battles these days, Rody's schedule is always full: spell practice, archery practice, rune inlay practice, new leather armor and new bow manufacturing, planning for the city's next development, etc...
Elson City, where everything is in its infancy, has completely ushered in a "busy period" after the arrival of spring. After Rody activated the two buildings "Arsenal" and "Wonderful Item Manufacturing Room", those produced on the sub-production line High-quality agricultural tools, tools, and props required by various law professions have completely opened up the trade routes at once, so now the caravans to and from the city are endless. Fortunately, Rody has Camilla, an effective assistant, to manage vertically, otherwise He really has no time to improve his personal strength.
And after the opening of these buildings that attracted "investment" and "business opportunities", Rody also did not forget to put the "arcane laboratory", "armament processing room" that would help him learn "rune inlays" and "special arrows". Arrow Manufacturing" building unlock is enabled.
When the civilians were talking about how to open up farmland, Rody's tense nerves never relaxed. He will not be paralyzed by the seemingly peaceful scene in front of him, so these days he is busy almost non-stop, either in various buildings or on the way to the building.
