Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Aldridge strode away from the palace, and then went straight back to his courtyard.

Noah came out of the house, and seeing his reaction, he knew that there was something wrong with the leader.

"Not smooth?"

Aldrich said: "The leader will make a decision after discussing with other kingdom envoys."

"What do you think?" Noah asked.

"When they come to a conclusion, it will be too late." Aldridge rubbed his brows: "And they can't say anything good. I don't plan to participate in this meeting, and go directly to Epra Peak to prepare fortifications .But if I leave Cuibian City, it will be difficult to grasp the situation here."

Epra Peak is the lowest and gentle peak in the Kansero Mountains, and it is also the only gap in this natural moat.However, it is not easy to lead the army from here. There is a rough river at the foot of Epra Peak, and the road above is narrow. No large army has ever been able to drive over safely.Aldridge really wanted to know what the Shilan Empire was going to do.

Noah gave him a suggestion: "You can keep in touch with Prime Minister Sharp of the Principality of Abibe."

Aldrich pondered for a while, and then gave orders to his attendants to deliver a letter to Prime Minister Sharp, and then went to visit the residence in person.

"And you can also ask for help from the White Tower." Noah added: "Although magicians of the level of Julian's brother will not shoot, they will definitely be able to help you deal with the Chaos Cultists on the battlefield. They have various means, and It is best to use a magician to contain the believers by surprise. If possible, you can also persuade the Temple of War to join the battle."

As he spoke, his tone suddenly became low: "I can only say this. This war is extraordinary. There are at least 50 soldiers in the Shilan Empire, and most of them are lunatics controlled by the church and driven by profit... I But can't help you."

Aldrich looked at him a little at a loss, and his thoughts, which can keep sharp in front of anyone, also stagnated at this moment.He subconsciously took half a step forward, then hugged Noah tightly.

"...you are the source of my courage."

"It is the end of the way I came and the way back."

He suddenly recited a prayer, Noah was hugged so hard that he couldn't breathe, and for a moment he even forgot which church's prayer it was, or Aldrich himself made it up.

"May Noah protect me...you are the only god I believe in."

Noah smiled.

He looked up and said, "I'm leaving."

"now?"

"Well, I can't wait any longer, I'm ready."

Aldrich asked hesitantly, "Can we leave tomorrow?"

Noah shook his head.

"What about this afternoon?"

"Right now, I originally planned to say goodbye to you when you came back, but I said so many words without realizing it..."

After Noah finished speaking, he suddenly felt: "I used to always feel that before taking action, there should be a perfect plan, a backup plan. But some things, some opportunities are fleeting, and we must do it immediately. Not everyone You can wait for this perfect plan, but the world is impermanent, and the more complicated things are, the harder it is to control, so let's start here."

Life is not made of plans, but of accidents of all kinds.

Aldridge hugged him reluctantly, and the two stood in the courtyard for a long time without moving.

After Noah left with Brian, Aldrich quickly visited Prime Minister Sharp, and then went to Evelia.

In this war, if the Northern Alliance cannot support the army, he still needs Evelia's help.

Evelia rolled her eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Captain, do you think the Degar family's money fell from the sky? Even if it falls from the sky, there must be a time!"

She snapped her fingers to calculate the expenses for Aldrich in the beast tide. The chamber of commerce lost a lot, not only because of the investment in the beast tide, but during the beast tide, the economy of the entire Northern Alliance was in a stagnant state.Those small merchants disappeared without a sound, and the big merchants could still cry to the chamber of commerce and ask for help from the Degar family, but Evelia had nowhere to cry and had to hold on to maintain the situation.She is extremely busy these days because she has to contact merchants to restart the economy. With Earl Degar's current status, she will not handle these troublesome things in person, but Evelia still has to do it herself.

Fortunately, she had established a trade route with the Orc Empire before, and Diana was also happy to help them. The continuous flow of wealth and supplies from the Orc Empire barely filled the big hole here.

However, from Diana's more and more generous tone, Evelia can feel that the development of the Orc Empire is very good, especially after the end of the war with the southeast, Diana has made every effort to develop the economy and improve the productivity of the people. Some orcs still complained about her taking the throne, but Diana's popularity among the people was growing.

"Without the support of the alliance this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight this battle." Aldrich said: "Otherwise they will go to the battlefield hungry."

The three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, and the importance of reserve supplies is self-evident.

Evelia scratched her hair and said, "I heard that the Shilan Empire has an army of 50."

When others heard about this, most of them were amazed or frightened by the figure of 50.But the first thing Evelia thinks of is how much 50 people spend every day. Even if each person only eats one ordinary Canadian dollar per meal, drinking water at other times can fill their stomachs. 50 a day is 50 ordinary Canadian dollars .And fighting is a long-term process, no one knows how long the war will last, 50 a day, 500 million for a month, and this only counts the money for food.

"They robbed while fighting." Aldrich's information on this aspect was not bad: "The entire Helmert kingdom was robbed by them."

"But you can't steal money from the people in the alliance." Evelia closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she asked firmly, "How many people are in your army?"

"Seventy thousand." Aldrich said, "Including the original alliance army, the defenders of several cities, and the result of recruiting troops during the beast horde."

When the situation was not getting more and more complicated, Aldrich actually didn't feel that he would always be in charge of the army.

At that time, Noah was still in the territory of the Dragon Clan. Apart from fighting the beast tide, he missed Noah every day. When the beast tide was over, he and Noah would leave here, just like before.

"50, [-]." Evelia looked at Aldrich with admiration, and found that he showed no fear at all.

"It's not that we have no chance of winning." Aldridge said calmly: "Our army actually has a huge advantage. The enemy has come from a long distance and is exhausted, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. But we have been preparing for battle for a long time. Except In addition, we are fighting on the mainland, but the Shilan Empire's eyes are darkened, and..."

"It's great that you are so confident." Evelia twitched the corners of her mouth, and she was not interested in this kind of specific command operations.

Aldrich pursed his lips: "But if the soldiers can't eat, no advantage will be left."

"[-]... The Degar family can last for a month, including the cities where we took the initiative in the previous beast tide." Evelia knocked on the table, and after thinking, said: "We have to think of a way... "

In fact, Evelia was mainly trying to find a way, and Aldrich could only try to help her save some expenses. The most important thing was to think about winning this war and reducing the loss of personnel.

He has learned a lot from Diana on this point.

He quickly organized the army to leave Cuibian City, without disturbing any forces during the whole process.This army was brought up by him, not out of a sense of duty and honor to fight, but trust in him as a person.Aldridge has a very high reputation in this army, and the soldiers have absolute obedience to him.

Noah once said to Aldrich: "Only relying on your trust and following, such an army cannot win long, it is just blind. They must have a firm belief, not the church kind, It's about knowing why you are fighting, and being willing to use the responsibility you protect with your life to take on... invincible."

But now is not the time to train the army. In all fairness, the army under Aldrich's command is already superior to the entire Northern Alliance.After all, when those armies are fighting, they will not even be equipped with equipment and weapons, and the soldiers will solve it by themselves.Moreover, the king has very few troops. If he wants to fight, he must first notify the nobles below to send troops. However, the troops raised by the nobles are mostly engaged in robbing widows and women.

A small nobleman from a remote kingdom in the Northern Alliance had taken a fancy to the inheritance of another small nobleman, a castle and the widow known as Mrs. Hardman.He led the army to attack Mrs. Hardman's castle, and was beaten to death. The burly and powerful Mrs. Hardman killed several of his soldiers with a fire stick. The magician in the castle was right The little noble set fire to his buttocks and made him go back naked.

Later, the little aristocrat still spent money to hire a mercenary group-a larger adventurer team, and finally won the victory.

Most of the army has such combat effectiveness, so they are afraid of such an army that is obedient, high in execution, and has a unified goal.

Before leaving Cuibian City, Aldrich rode his horse and looked back at Cuibian City in the darkness. His gaze penetrated the city wall and landed on the silent and brilliant alliance headquarters.

He left with the army, almost indicating a break with the Northern Alliance, and the only bargaining chip in his hand was this army.

Half a month later, he arrived at Epra Peak, and when he was building the fortifications, Prime Minister Sharp sent him a letter.

The beginning of the letter reads: The meeting has reached a result, and the alliance is going to provide 500 million gold coins to the Shilan Empire to maintain peace between the two sides.
