I really can't control myself

Linton is really living a leisurely life these days, because he found that his son Lin Rui is indeed quite fun. Although Xiao Lin Rui spends most of the day eating, drinking and sleeping, the remaining time he can have fun is really fun.

It feels like when you play with your friend’s cat, the more you play with it, the better it feels. But if you want to raise it by yourself, then you have to feed and urinate, so of course it is the most enjoyable to masturbate to others.

Now Xiao Lin Rui feels like someone else's cat. Although it may be his own, Linton has never raised it. There may be hundreds of people dedicated to serving Xiao Linrui in the entire back hall, and all the dirty work has been contracted.

Not only does Linton not have to put in any effort to raise the child, he even just teases him for fun. In the eyes of others, Linton is a good father who is willing to spend time with his children. Linton didn't know how lenient the main world was to his father's profession, but to be honest, he blushed a little when he said this.

At this time, Linton had not yet gone to the guild. After all, the invitation was a one-time use. He planned to wait until the rebel problem was resolved before going, treating it as a holiday for himself.

As for the time for resolution, Linton's previous clauses all gave one month, so naturally he was prepared to resolve the problem within one month. This month is a fermentation period, and when the time comes, conflicts should break out.

By then, the new emperor, who had no idea where he came from, would probably be tortured to death. Linton really wanted to see how aggrieved the other party was.

Judging from the intelligence that has been returned so far, the impact of these policies is slowly emerging. Linton already knew about the other party's blocking of information in the army. This was also a normal operation. It is still possible to block information in the military, but how long can this be blocked?

Linton knew that many people had already gone to the north to deliver news, and it was probably only a matter of time. There should be a lot of desertion soon.

The news from the private sector obviously cannot be blocked. Now tens of thousands of people are moving from the north to the south every day. Apparently they were all attracted to avoid the war and the second policy.

To be honest, resettling these "refugees" from the north has now become a rather troublesome task. But the good news is that those who come here don't have to worry about whether there are any rebels or the like mixed in. Linton was very convinced that the other party did not dare to do these things at all.

His first policy is to let the soldiers come back. Do you dare to let them really go back?

So now we just need to send people directly to the pioneer area in the south. As for issues such as the planning of pioneer areas, with so many civil servants here, they will naturally make arrangements for these. The overall situation of the empire is still vast and sparsely populated, but Linton thinks it would be a good thing to transport some people from the north to the south.

Due to climate problems in the north, the harvest from the same work is not as great as in the south. Now that there are few people, concentrating work in the south will naturally improve the overall national strength. The ministers had previously discussed whether to relocate people, but now the problem has been resolved.

To be honest, Linton is quite satisfied with the results of the first two so far, but the third one, which he feels is the most subtle, has not received much feedback so far.

Except for the troubles that can often be heard in banks from people who come to exchange new currency, the rest basically has no big effect.

The rebels there didn't respond much to this at all, and most of the people who migrated from the north said that the reason for coming here was not to exchange new coins, but just for the land.

Obviously, in the main world, land is still more important than money. The people can accept the loss of money, but land is their lifeblood.

This made Linton a little unhappy. He didn't know whether it was because the people here didn't understand financial warfare, or because his thoughts were a bit out of tune with the world.

But even so, Linton still insisted on his coin-spreading action, directly destroying the economic foundation of the north, which should have the effect of a fatal blow. Linton said that he should still be able to fake this wave. This is a strategic plan that is hundreds of years ahead of the curve.

"What are you secretly enjoying?" Yalan looked at Linton and asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I was thinking about how miserable those rebels would die. Don't worry, once the one-month agreed time comes, these bunch of chickens and dogs will be wiped out in an instant." Linton waved his hand and said.

"Report!" Just as Linton finished speaking, a knight from the Royal Guard walked into the room and saluted and said, "An urgent report came from the north. The main force of the rebels has been defeated by our army."

"What?" Linton was stunned.

"Lord Sword Master, the main force of the rebels has been defeated by our army." The royal knight here thought Linton didn't hear clearly, so he repeated it again.

"Isn't it...defeated?" Linton asked.

"Yes, the opponent's troops have been completely defeated." The knight nodded again, and then took out a volume of documents, "This is the battle report."

Yalan, who was close, took it and looked at it, and was shocked by what was said above.

The battle report was naturally sent by the victorious Third Army, and it also recorded what happened in the past two days. From the moment when the first and second legions split up and marched here, Esdeath saw through the opponent's plan, and then chose to take the initiative, directly attacking the opponent's camp at night, and then there were "reinforcements" troops that suddenly appeared.

Here, the troops of the Third Army and Gruto's troops joined forces and launched a fierce siege on the troops of the First Army. The troops of the First Army could not hold it any longer, and finally the defense line fell and fell into chaos.

The three armies fought from night to dawn. The final result was that the first legion was beaten to pieces. The entire legion fled in all directions, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Because the number of corpses is really too large, the specific situation has not yet been calculated, but the approximate number should be more than 10,000 dead, and even more prisoners, close to 30,000. Of course, most of the prisoners were baggage and logistics troops.

In this way, about half of the people escaped, about 50,000 people. It's just that the 50,000 people who escaped were scattered, so it's probably not easy to gather them again. Even if the opponent gathers a team again, half of the 50,000 people they can find will be considered good. Not to mention that they are still chasing each other.

Moreover, at this time, all the rations and materials of the First Legion have been captured. Even if the troops are gathered, can the soldiers continue to fight hungry and without weapons and armor?

That's why the knight who reported before used the word "rout". In a normal war, even if such a unit is completely wiped out, it is almost impossible to pull it back up again.

At this time, the battle report sent by Esdeath was to inform Yalan about the battle situation on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also to ask whether they should continue to march directly.

Because the opponent's army has been defeated now, and if they want to pull it up again, they will definitely need supplies of food, grass and materials.

The food, grass and materials of the First Legion must have been very sufficient before, because the previous empire supported them. The empire now has money, so the army has plenty of supplies.

What Esdeath means is that these defeated troops probably want to return to the place where they stored their supplies before, and there should be a supply base there that can allow the troops to be integrated again. She wanted to take the initiative and occupy the opponent's station first, so that the opponent would no longer be able to raise a team.

It's just that the order Linton gave her before was to defend the defense line and there was no order to attack, so she anxiously wrote to ask for this permission.

"General Esdeath is really powerful. He actually defeated the rebels in one battle." Yalan here sighed after reading the battle report.

"Hey, can you still steal the limelight like this?" Linton next to him said directly, "No, who made her face A up?"

"What are you struggling with again?" Yalan said here.

"This is so unorganized and disciplined. She won the battle with just an A. Doesn't it seem that my previous arrangements were redundant? This is stealing my limelight." Linton yelled directly.

"..." Yalan looked at Linton and didn't know what to say.

"No! I can't stand this grievance!" Linton waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and write a letter asking Esdeath to release the captured prisoners and let them go back with the captured supplies. Tell them over there That new emperor, let him prepare well and let’s start over.”

"Don't get angry suddenly." Yalan said.

"This is not because of anger. Yalan, we are the orthodox empire of mankind. If we want to fight, we must fight openly. Our army has always been about martial ethics. Look at Esdeath, he actually took advantage of the opponent The foothold is not yet stable, so we attack directly at night. Come to cheat, come to sneak attack, and do not talk about martial ethics. If this spreads out, how will we convince the public in the future. So listen to me, let the opponent go, and we will fight again." Linton said .

"Isn't this reason... too forced?" Yalan couldn't help but say, "Although I know you like to talk nonsense..."

"It's not that I don't have it! As a sage who has learned a lot, doesn't it show that we are magnanimous?" Linton said quickly.

"Actually, I think your policy here has had some effect." Yalan said, "Look at the reinforcements helping Esdeath. Isn't this proof that your policy has had an effect? ​​It's also at a critical time. They fought back and defeated the troops of the First Army..."

"Uh...really?" Linton thought for a while and nodded slightly, "But the killing move I prepared is the third one, this..."

"Okay, it's decided." Yalan said quickly.
