Chapter 184: The Bloom of Fairy Trees

After a night of fierce fighting, Gu Nuo City, the capital of Longjiao Province, was finally captured.

Brand-new flags fluttered on the city walls and towers, and the streets still had corpses, bullet casings, ashes, debris, and scorch marks left over from last night.

Compared with the lively scenes in the past, the city is now extraordinarily quiet. Some people dare to go out at will. Most of the shops are not open for business. Pairs of eyes hide behind the doors and the gaps in the windows to observe the outside secretly.

As it approached noon, a team with flags and official documents appeared on the street, and they began to post signs announcing the future governance policy and the philosophy of the 'Fairy Tree' organization.

In the former governor's mansion, Loren Hill opened the curtains and pushed open the windows, letting in the fresh air outside, and then turned to look at the various documents on the desk in the study.

Many of them came from the center of the empire, that is, the imperial capital Titania, and some came from the surrounding provinces, with announcements about the latest intelligence.

'Wanted for remnants of the insurrectionary army from the Purple Shirt province, characterised by...' This document recounts the recent suppression of the uprising in the central part of the empire. .

‘Annual Armament Supplementary List’

'The notice on the suspension of the pursuit of the descendants of the Baska family, the goal in the future will be to appease the local residents...'

'Fall expansion recruitment plan, and allocation of places to each province'

Through these documents, Roland Hill can be considered to understand the plans and thoughts of some of the upper echelons of the empire.

It seems that the regent is also aware that the foundation is a little unstable today, and he plans to focus on appeasement, and expand his army to strengthen the strength of the royal family.

However, although the order was issued, the following governors and local officers did not fully implement it, and most of them were perfunctory. Many newly promoted military nobles also took advantage of this to make money and complicit with local officials.

In fact, this is not surprising. The reason why they joined the army was for wealth and honor. Now that they have finally climbed up, how could they not eat the fat in front of them, especially since most of the original aristocrats in the southern region were beaten down without much resistance. strength.

In the name of exterminating the remnants of the Baska family, many people began to extort and extort the original lord, or they simply ransacked their homes on charges.

It's no wonder that at the end of last year, when Xia Lanrote shouted, many old noble forces followed and came to vassalize, just because they were also angry.

As the girl sat at the desk and looked carefully, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." She looked up and saw a non-commissioned officer standing in front of the door.

"Lord Jialan, we have cleaned up the remaining enemies in the city and counted the number of casualties."

"Yeah." The girl nodded.

"After last night's battle, a total of 3,346 people participated in the battle, of which 508 were injured and 189 were killed. Now the seriously wounded have been settled in the original city barracks for treatment."

"After the battle, about 1,200 enemy troops were killed, about 2,600 prisoners were captured, nearly 7,000 guns, 12 artillery pieces, excluding bullets, and more than 300 sets of elite cuirassier equipment were seized."

"The report is complete."

The results of the battle were very good. Most of the casualties were caused by the enemy's cuirassiers. In the late stage of the battle at the city gate last night, the rush of those elite cavalry brought a lot of sacrifices and serious injuries, and then Lorraine, who was rushed to the city gate. Hill solved.

Fortunately, at night, the strength of those cavalrymen could not be fully exerted. If they were allowed to directly rush to kill their own army, they might cause a large number of casualties.

The elites carefully crafted by these regents do indeed have the strength commensurate with them.

"Where are those captives being held now?" Thinking of these thousands of captives, Roland Hill also had a headache. What should he do?

They must not be released at will. Who knows if they will go to other provinces and continue to join the army, but if they are detained for a long time, not to mention food, manpower consumption is also a large part, and they have to beware of possible riots.

Originally, the number of soldiers on my side was limited, and if they were distributed, they would be in short supply.

"Most of them are imprisoned in the original city cells, as well as in the vacant training ground. There are watchtowers to cooperate with the musket squad to suppress them. In addition, a small number of elite elites are imprisoned in dungeons, where there are strong facilities specially designed to prevent supernatural beings. escape."

Well, the nobles still left some useful things in the past.

"Where are Mr. Gouworth and Mr. Lubin?"

"Master Guhuasi is now scolding and teaching those reckless officers in the dungeon. Master Lubin is checking the warehouse in the city and counting the materials."

After listening, the girl nodded and put down the document in her hand.

"Let someone close this study. Don't touch the contents, and then take me to the place where the wounded are placed first."

"Yes, Lord Jialan." The soldier saluted gratefully.

In the 'Fairy Wood' organization, everyone knows that this girl from the East is very knowledgeable, and is also a very high-level herbalist and healer. As long as the injuries are not killed on the spot, most of them can be rescued.

After leaving the Governor's Palace, Lorraine Hill, under the escort of a group of soldiers, set out for the barracks.

A small number of pedestrians began to appear on the street. Most of them gathered under the announcement documents. Some people saw Roland Hill and others passing by and looked at it carefully and curiously.

'Who is this girl and why is she so affected by this?

Some people protect, is it some noble person? ’

In addition, a small number of people have heard of the ideas of these rebels before, and are now standing excitedly under the official document, explaining the content and meaning of the document to the villagers and companions. When many people heard that the land will be redistributed according to family members, many people cheered excitedly.

This is something that I never thought about before. It used to be the private property of the nobles. If farmers want to live, they can only help the nobles to farm. If they have their own fields, it will be a wonderful thing.

For a time, there were all kinds of cheers on the street, and it was only then that the local people realized what these people wearing white badges represented.

That would be a system completely different from empire.

————

Looking at the reaction of the pedestrians on the street, Roland Hill also felt a touch of joy in her heart. In fact, she had seen such a scene many times in Crancia, but she still had a sense of fulfillment.

Finally, what has been done has proved valuable and meaningful, and it is no longer the kind of personal reverie and self-righteousness.

Roland Hill spent the rest of the afternoon and night treating the wounded soldiers in the barracks, not returning to the resting place until late at night.

"Let's eat something, Sister Jialan." Yiena came in with the cooked porridge and milk and put it on the table in the girl's bedroom.

"Why are you here?" Roland Hill had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet, wearing a light-colored nightdress, sitting at the desk looking at the report form.

"I came with Miss Gavier. Because the news of the victory in the battle came back, we also set off with everyone."

"Well, it's time to discuss the next action." The girl blew the food in front of her, and then thought about the future plan.

Today, there are many members of the 'Fairy Wood' organization, but there are only five high-ranking real-power committee members, that is, the two played by Roland Hill, plus Gavier, Lubin, and Gu Huasi.

After this victory, the organization should be expanded again, and the previous members have also been assigned to various towns to preside over the task of innovation.

Counting supplies, establishing organizational structures, redistributing land, directing construction and production, and preparing for subsequent battles.

The light-colored flag, embroidered with white petals and bright yellow stamens, is the symbol of the 'Fairy Tree' organization.

Riders holding such a flag traveled through the mountains and fields, spreading exciting news in all directions, bringing a new thought or belief.

Starting with Longjiao Province, the surrounding provinces gradually changed their colors on the map, becoming a country with flying white flags, like fairy trees blooming on a high mountain, blooming piece by piece, changing the composition of the southern border.

In just one summer and autumn, six provinces in the southern border changed course and became a member of this new organization.

Under such a rapid expansion, the legions of the empire often received new orders when they were halfway through, and their goals had changed. While waiting for reinforcements, their province fell unknowingly.

With the support of the local residents, the members of the 'Fairy Wood' organization are often in control of the traces of the Imperial Legion, so that they can quickly avoid the real, defeat the weak, and quickly liberate.

And under the reform, the peasants who got the land also spontaneously supported such an organization, and they had a more tenacious will to resist the rule of the empire, which also made the subsequent repression like a quagmire and difficult to advance.

Such a grand momentum also spread rapidly in the empire. At this time, even a few witches who did not go out knew where Roland Hill was, which was the distinct organization in the south.

"So, at this time, what is Little Lorraine going to do?"

Inside the tall tower in the forest, Chris sat beside the chessboard with her legs crossed, turning the pink and white wave candy in her hand, looking at Tides attentively, while opposite her, Si Ye was silent.

On the black and white chessboard, the three black chess pieces that symbolize witches have moved. They are gathered together and lined up side by side. On the opposite side is a white witch chess piece standing alone.

"That's why I said, I should have chosen to add a helping hand before. Even little Lorraine, if one fights three, I'm afraid he will lose."
