Roddy was very surprised that he could hear this news. Because the "Elson CIA" has not yet completely transformed into an intelligence agency, many messages are not transmitted quickly. At present, this intelligence should be known first-hand and has not been included in Elson City.

Cauchy's speech should be reliable, but what is the Viper Cross doing?

Hiring nobles and knights is expensive, and this is actually spending money to find "mercenaries". As long as you have money, a large number of knights as poor as Cauchy, who are only weapons left will run over to work hard. Roddy frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't you try to contact me?"

"To be honest... I'm not a war material, so I thought about whether it's OK to be a clerk in Elson." Cauchy scratched his head embarrassedly. After all, knights in this era like to brag about their bravery, and it's rare for him to take the initiative to give up fighting and make money.

After all, it’s a pity that I’m too thin and it’s indeed a bit far from “war”.

Roddy was surprised by his honesty, raised his glass to greet him, and then said with a slightly serious expression: "I don't resist the war, just make money - I'm new and new, and I'm not familiar with those guys. Please help me take the lead. As long as I can successfully join, this is the reward."

He took a small cloth bag and shook it, but Cauchy didn't look at the bag and smiled, "This is all a matter of one sentence. Those guys are eager to seek talent. I think your ability is definitely better than those idiots. It's too late for people to rush to invite you to join."

While he said this, he brought Roddy directly to the two men in black robes. In just three or four words, he asked the two to stand up and salute Roddy to greet him. The matter was much simpler afterwards. They told Roddy about their current salary, conditions and meeting place. Roddy nodded excitedly, and then threw the small bag to Casey: "The promised reward, if you really want to go to Elson, you must be as early as possible."

After saying that, he waved his hand and left the tavern. Knight Cauchy held the bag helplessly and opened it casually. He thought there would be some copper plates inside, but after a glance, his hand shook slightly, and then tightened the bag as if nothing had happened.

Then he quickly ran to the door of the tavern and looked out, but found that Roddy had long disappeared from the calm street.

Turning back, Cauchy took a deep breath, packed his clothes and stepped onto the thin horse, bid farewell to the boss and headed towards the nearest city - because only the "magic props and supplies store" in the city can sell the high-quality magic crystals in the bag.

Such a magic crystal is definitely more than enough for Elson's food and accommodation.

On the other hand, Milno, who had returned from the palace, finally embarked on the journey to the expedition again, but his face was worse than before, and he obviously did not get the answer he wanted from Charles II.

He understood that he should not declare that this was a "war of conquest" after he held command. There were many reasons for the war, but the only thing that could be characterized was the "emperor" himself. Milno was so angry that he was foolish by the nobles. This behavior of interfering in his affairs naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Charles II. Fortunately, he had enough methods and quickly used some complaints to exchange for the emperor's understanding. However, when he returned to the military camp that he had already assembled, he found that the situation seemed to be faintly out of control.

On the surface, Milno had a private army of 1,000. The nobles who were willing to follow and attacked had dropped sharply during this period. Including all infantry and knights, there were still more than 3,000 people in total. However, the "Virer Cross" who reached a cooperation agreement with him told him... The sect had assembled more than 10,000 "Holy Cult Army" and was ready to attack the enemy!

This situation is actually somewhat similar to Zoro at the time - although he is nominally in command and has the power to command the troops, his power is dispersed. As a military idiot, Mirno did not understand the importance of military control, so it was difficult for his team of a thousand people to highlight the prestige that a leader should have. On the contrary, the "Sacred Cult Army" of the "Virder Cross" was arranged in an orderly manner under the control of the elder Claude of the sect. Even if it was composed of hired teams, it showed a rich war experience and no chaos at all.

Milno felt something was wrong, but now he wanted to attack Everta, "Virida Cross" had become the only object he needed to rely on. Once the dependence relationship was established, he realized that it was difficult for him to control the direction of the team - because when Bishop Dean of "Virida Cross" came to explain the route, Milno found that he had no choice.

"Why go north? If we attack Everta, wouldn't it be better to cross westward?"

"Sir Earl, the route to the north is flatter without having to cross the jungle. At the same time, the towns along the way can provide us with more convenient supplies and reduce logistical pressure. This is the suggestion of the "Virder Cross" and I hope you can adopt it."

"What if I don't adopt it?"

Mirno replied with a frown, but found that the other party was looking at him and didn't respond at all. His lips were trembling, but he thought that there were troops outside several times that of his own, and he immediately understood what this meant, so he could only grit his teeth and wave: "Okay, you guys should be the vanguard team..."

Time passed, and since the end of the war, the effects of centralization and resource integration gradually exerted their power.

The "ridged ditch system" farming method has begun to be popularized on a large scale. The first "floating tower" that can operate independently of Elsen City was built and transported to a small town outside the city that had just begun to take shape outside the city to deter orc laborers who are constantly working.

The technology of "paper making" spread. The cabinet quickly transformed the qualified towns in the territory into papermaking sites. After sending troops to garrison, it began to produce large quantities of paper. Template for movable type printing also began to become popular. At the same time, the "Elson Newspaper" also produced a variety of newspapers besides the Karen Times, including the "New Rural Newspaper", which specializes in popularizing agricultural knowledge and the "Entertainment Weekly", which is used to talk about interesting things and gossip. Among them, the influence is not great, but it is very clear in the political sense. The establishment of the "Magic" Weekly.
