"It's not a good thing, my Lord." Gason had just arrived at the conference room, and many people had already arrived. It was obvious that the current situation was not very good. Otherwise, these people would not have been in such a hurry. They would have rushed to the Duchess house in the middle of the night.
What's the situation? What is the situation of the cuogela tribe? "Gasain doesn't even know what kind of tribe the so-called cuogela tribe is. After all, he has just become a Lord here, and many local conditions are still completely unknown.
"My Lord, the cuogra tribe is a large tribe in the south, a tribe of the megmoids. Before that, the relationship between the cuogela tribe and the territory was quite good. Ren should have reached some agreements with the cuogela tribe, and gave them some year old gold and so on every year. Therefore, the cuogela tribe has been in a peaceful state with this side for more than ten years. However, the current situation is estimated to be that the cuogela tribe may worry about the age of each year when they hear that they have changed their lords here The problem of gold, so it is estimated that the purpose of bringing troops here this time is to let us also pay the year old gold. " Said a minister dressed as a civil servant.
"Sui Jin?" Garsain frowned. He had heard of it. He was a common barbarian in the south of the Empire. In fact, he was also a human being, but he was not the same as the ordinary people in the Empire. He was tall and hairy, and looked very savage. As a matter of fact, the megmo people are also very savage and generally have a low level of civilization. However, they seem to have natural advantages in terms of strength, and they are very adapted to the life in the southern forest. If they really fight, the Imperial Army in the forest in the South will not have any advantage. Therefore, it is difficult to deal with the cancer.
The southern territory of the Empire was more or less invaded by the megmoids. Some lords chose to fight against them. In any case, there were waves of fighting, and some paid. It was obvious that Ryan belonged to the latter, and reached an agreement with the other party's chief to pay money for food every year. Anyway, the other side did not come to make trouble.
The first thing he didn't like about buying blood was that he didn't like paying money. However, he also knows that these people are really difficult to deal with. Even if they are defeated this time, they will become guerrilla warfare after they retreat into the forest in the south. You can't send troops to catch them. But when the army leaves, they will come out to rob and kill people and attack the villages and cities in the south. Of course, Ryan chose to pay for it, which is probably the reason.
"How many people are there?" Gasern asked first.
"Probably 5000. " A general nearby replied. Megmo people belong to the kind of tribe where all the people are soldiers. The number of soldiers in a tribe can basically be as many as possible. Even women and old people sometimes take part in the battle. Because of their inherent physical advantages, their combat effectiveness is quite strong.
Garsain frowned. There are a lot of people in his territory, but the problem is that the soldiers are in their early 4000's. although they are regular troops, they have great advantages in weapons and equipment, but they don't possess the personal quality of soldiers. Moreover, they have the advantage of land, which is not easy to do.
"My Lord, the other party is not good this time." A civil servant nearby said anxiously, "if we only discuss Sui Jin, we won't bring so many troops. This time, it seems that it's not just about Sui Jin. I even suspect that someone has contacted them and is ready to fight us..."
"Ryan's remnant?" Gasern asked.
"Yes." Civil servants nodded. Although most of Ryan's family members have been arrested and executed, there are still some who have escaped. After all, the Raine family is a big family. Now, the meloway family and the Ryan family group must have a death feud, and the other party will certainly try every means to find casayn's trouble.
"What now, my lord?" Another civil servant nearby also asked anxiously.
"Yes, my Lord, make a decision early. The enemy is coming towards us."
As you can see, everyone was very anxious, which made the atmosphere of the whole conference room tense. Just when everyone was extremely anxious, Linton suddenly walked into the conference room.
"I said, take this egg." Linton said, while giving the egg to gasern, "take it a few more steps, and it may soon hatch out."
"I'm in a military conference now, OK? Take this egg, too? " He said.
"What's going to work?" Linton looked at the people in the conference room. There were many more people who had not seen before. Most of them were civil servants. Some generals Linton had seen in the barracks before. "There is no need for any barbarian tribe to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with it. You can say so."
"Well, Duke, I think the sword master is right. It seems that there is no need to be so anxious. The enemy's troops will arrive tomorrow. We'd better sleep more and keep our strength up. Let's wait for each other to arrive every day." One of the generals got up and said.
"Yes, my Lord. It's only 5000 barbarians. It's hard for soldiers to patrol and maintain public order in recent days. It's better not to gather troops against them and let the soldiers have a good rest." The other said.
"You are so realistic." Gasayn fumble.
"Well, my Lord, is this late arrival a hindrance to your rest, or we shall go back?" Said another civil servant."Scattered, scattered." Gasern waved.
Gason waved, and the ministers were very cooperative and left. The original tense atmosphere had disappeared, and they whispered while walking, as if they had just finished a dinner party.
"Uncle Linton is back. I don't know when he will be back."
"Is that the master swordsman? It's really hard to see. Fortunately, I've inquired about some in advance. If I don't recognize it, I'll lose face. "
"I don't know what's going to happen to the megmers. I hear Lord Linton has a hot temper."
"I always think your name is more useful than mine." Gason, too, listened to the whispers of the ministers.
"So I'll let you practice as a saint. It's not all solved." Said Linton.
"It's not as easy as that." He also wants to be a saint. As a warrior, who doesn't want to be promoted.
"Karp said that you have the talent of armed color, so you can practice it soon." Linton said, "it's over for the rest of the family to do the things in the territory. Don't they like doing these things very much?"
Gasayn was silent for a moment, but Linton said it was true. Some people in the family really wanted to put their hands in. Their desire for power was very strong. But gasayn knew who these people were and gave power to them. They didn't know what would happen.
"No matter what they want, as long as you can reach the level of Saint, intrigue and so on are useless." Linton seems to have seen through the idea of gasayn and said directly.
"I Think about it. " Gasern nodded a little.
With this kind of thing, gason couldn't sleep tonight. It happened that Linton also wanted to know about the territory. He was about to carry out the construction task, so he also listened to gasayn's introduction of the territory.
The scale of gasain's ducal collar is still very large. The whole Duke's collar is divided into five regions, each of which is equivalent to a Earl's collar. Among them, three earls are under the jurisdiction of gasern, and the other two are ruled by local earls. In addition to paying taxes every year, gasern can't control over there. Therefore, it is accurate to say that what gasern can control at present is three uncles The territory of the barons.
The main city of the territory is the Moon Lake City where they are now. It is true that there is a huge lake beside the city, which Linton saw when he was on the tower before. The lake, known as the Moon Lake, is very large, the largest lake in the territory, and it is said that its origin is not ordinary.
Legend does not know how long ago, the sky fell a huge meteorite, the location of the fall is the center of the Moon Lake, someone built a castle near the crater of the meteorite, this castle is Starfall castle. After that, the surrounding of the castle gradually developed, which is the origin of Moon Lake City. At present, after several generations of Lord's management, Yuehu city has become an important trade node in the southwest of the Empire. The commerce is very developed. Every year, the business tax can collect tens of thousands of gold, which can be said to be a treasure land. At that time, Ryan also relied on these business taxes to support a good army.
In addition to Yuehu City, there are six cities with a population of more than 100000 in the territory. The population of the whole territory is about 1 million, which is a very fat territory. Of course, there are also some disadvantages. First of all, because of being in the southwest of the Empire, agriculture is not very developed, and the grain production of the territory is very low. Therefore, there is still some food to be imported every year. Fortunately, commerce is developed, which is not a big deal. Another troublesome place is the barbarians. In addition to the megmo people who are looking for trouble in the south, the barbarians in the West and the barbarians in the West Clans are more troublesome than the South because they are not even Terrans.
They were chatting. Gason was lying down on the table and fell asleep. Linton didn't know when he was sleeping with his chair. It was only after daybreak that a minister came into the meeting room and called them up.
"Excuse me, Duchess." Said Gayne.
"What's the matter?" Gason asked vaguely.
"We have been surrounded by barbarians. Now it seems that the megmoids are still ready to attack the city. What do you think we should do now?" Asked the minister.
"The enemy are all under the city?" Gason was a little stunned. "Why do you call me now? What about our army? "
"They're still sleeping. Are you going to wake them up?"
