Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Aldridge opened the letter from Prime Minister Sharp, and at the beginning was the result of the meeting, they wanted to exchange gold coins for peace.

This shows that during the meeting, they had indeed received the news that the Shilan Empire was about to attack the Northern Alliance.And when the letter was delivered to Aldrich, the envoys sent by the Northern Alliance had already gone to the Northern Alliance for negotiations.The envoy of this negotiation was from the Kingdom of Suha. The heir of the Kingdom of Suha did not personally take any risks, but he also sent an envoy who was very close and had the right to speak to show his sincerity.

Aldridge watched in silence for a while. The letter sent by Prime Minister Sharp was extremely brief, but he attached a specific agenda and content of the meeting.The meeting was largely led by the Suha Kingdom, and the spies sent by various countries in the Shilan Empire also sent back news that the storm was coming, and the shadow of war was hanging over everyone's head.

There was also a discussion about Aldridge at the meeting. This time, the leader of the alliance didn't trip Aldridge, saying that he had already gone to Epra Peak to prepare for the battle.The envoy of the Kingdom of Suha believes that the border of the Northern Alliance is long, and the Shilan Empire may not attack from Mount Epra, so the leader of the alliance recalls him.Of course, in the end no one said where the money for the war would come from.

When Aldrich saw this, he took off the letter paper, strode out of his camp, called for his attendants, and rode out on horseback.

He stood on the mountain road of Mount Epra, with the fast-flowing river below, the unobstructed sky above, and a thin main road in the middle.At this time, Aldrich's army had already stationed less than a mile away from Epra Peak. They had built simple houses and bunkers, and they were building a road to the outside of Epra Peak.

Aldrich stared at the scene in front of him. In his mind, he had already begun to simulate the scene of the Shilan Empire's army rushing from the Epra Peak. There was a total of 50 troops. After defeating the countries in the south, this army may expand , and if they want to stop the army at Epra Peak, they must use their geographical advantages to the limit.

He thought for a while and asked the siren, "Can you do me a favor?"

The siren quietly appeared behind him, and asked without answering, "When will you write a reply?"

Aldrich was stunned for a moment: "Let's talk again, you help me with something first."

After that, a period of time passed. Although Evlia said that she could only last for a month, until now, a steady stream of supplies have been transported from all over the place to Aipla Peak.The Northern Alliance has a well-developed business and has already established a network of roads extending in all directions within the alliance. Evelia has used these routes to the extreme, taking land routes in places where the terrain is flat, and rivers flowing down the river in places where the terrain is turbulent. The people helped to transport supplies and strive to meet the requirements of the military camp.In the beast tide, they gained the trust of many people, and at this time, those people spontaneously came to help.They sent the food stored in their homes to the military camp. Aldrich needed a lot of bows and arrows. In addition to those made by the military camp, the people cut down a lot of trees to make arrows.

This is of course a violation of the "Forest Law". Epra Peak belongs to the territory of the Kingdom of Suha, and these forests are the king's private property.

When Aldrich returned to the barracks from Mount Epra that day, he was told by his valet that Evelia had arrived.

He walked into his house, and when Evelia saw him for the first time, she said, "I just saw a farm outside."

In fact, it is a huge area, with a huge green crop planted.Evelia rushed all the way from Cuibian City to Epra Peak, but she was actually very worried and anxious.However, when she saw the fort that Aldrich had set up, she still couldn't help being shocked.

The entire fortress is divided into two parts, the inside and the outside. The outside is the outer area surrounded by bunkers and city walls, where a large number of crops are planted, as well as training places and weapons processing areas. The soldiers live in the back.And there is a tall tower inside, from here you can see the situation of the entire Epra Peak, and Aldrich usually lives here.A circle of trenches was dug outside the entire fortress, and the river flowing down from Epra Peak poured into it, forming a moat.The location of the fortress was also chosen very cleverly. The Shilan Empire's army had to break through this fortress before they could continue to go deeper.

Seen from a height, it looks like a giant standing in front of Epra Peak.

Evelia only glanced at it, and knew that Aldrich had spent the money she sent over to the fullest, leaving nothing behind, and naturally he did not do anything to enrich himself.This kind of situation is actually quite rare. Evlia has seen a lot around Earl Degar, so she naturally knows whose pockets most of the kingdom's military expenditure has gone into.Moreover, when individuals do business with the kingdom's army, sometimes they can make money, and sometimes they can lose money. They don't make much money, and when they lose money, they lose their heads.

"I asked them to plant that, and the surrounding farmers also came to help. It is a fast-growing crop, and it can be harvested in a month, and it can also satisfy hunger. In fact, you just harvested a crop before you came. You can eat it." Aldridge said it very easily, but in fact he was under a lot of pressure.The living supplies of these fighters who were willing to come to Epra Peak for him were kept at a precarious level. Aldrich had thought of many ways, but in the end he still had to deduct them from the food.But what worries him the most is the equipment and weapon rations of the soldiers. For those knights' followers, they often need their own weapons to prepare for battle.Aldridge must at least equip these people with a spear, key protection and so on.

He is so busy these days that he doesn't touch the ground. He has countless things to worry about every day. There are many reports on the shortage of various materials. He also has to train the army, inspire people, and pre-plan wars. Later, he handed over many things to his subordinates. More people deal with it, but there are more and more things to worry about.

Evelia didn't notice the fatigue on Aldrich's face, he was still in good spirits, with bright eyes and quick movements.The difficulties he encountered were all objective, no matter what, he could overcome them by gritting his teeth, which made Aldrich full of fighting spirit.However, the problems Noah encountered came from the irreversible hearts and minds. It is much more difficult to make the missionaries who are proud and self-important to truly sympathize with the people at the bottom than to let them go to work in the fields.

Those missionaries just know more words than the people at the bottom. They neither have profound thoughts nor create any practical value. They just use superb lies and natural status advantages to exert pressure on the people at the bottom who know nothing .Those people believed them, and when productivity was too low, all they thought about every day was prayer and redemption, so missionaries had a universal right to speak.But among the nobles, the words of missionaries are less trustworthy than the words of love from the mouths of their mistresses.And most kings regard them as enemies, constantly challenging the authority of the church, and using magicians who can compete with the church to fight for secular dominance.

Evelia was very happy to see Aldridge alive and kicking, but she came here this time to tell Aldridge a bad news.

"The Kingdom of Suha is determined to get you back from Mount Aipura. The king has blocked the path leading to Mount Aipura from other places, and large-scale material transportation will be strictly investigated. Many places must pass through the Kingdom of Suha. They intercepted a batch of my goods, and now it seems that they are not going to return them." Evelia said: "And they also issued a new decree to prohibit people from contacting you."

Aldrich frowned.

Eveliya looked at his expression and continued: "Their envoys have reached an agreement with the Shilan Empire. I don't know what the agreement is. But they seem to be targeting you specifically, whether it is the Shilan Empire Or the Kingdom of Suha, it seems that they want to solve you first."

"Then I'm going to make them bother." Aldrich asked, having fun, "What are they going to do?"

"I don't know, be careful..."

Before Evelia finished speaking, she heard a burst of exclamation from outside.

Aldrich immediately stood up, looking down from the tower, a group of large-scale troops were about to break into the fortress, and Aldrich's army was confronting them.Standing at Aldrich's place, he could also hear the noise of the army outside the fortress. They shouted that they were the orthodox army of Suha Kingdom, and they came to execute Aldrich at the order of the king.

Evelia heard it too, her face turned slightly pale, and she looked down from a height.Although Aldrich's army is large in number, it seems to be intimidating.They were told to fight against the enemies of the Shilan Empire, but now they were facing their former compatriots.Rather, it was the king's order. They had the heart to protect Aldridge, but they did not dare to disobey the king's order.

The valet rushed in and asked anxiously: "General, what should we do now? The soldiers will be unable to stop them."

Aldrich waved his hand, then jumped down from the tower and came to the front of the fortress. His appearance attracted everyone's attention.

He shouted: "I am Aldrich, let them in, let our compatriots in!"

Soldiers lowered the drawbridge, and the king's army marched triumphantly into the fortress.However, after they came in, they realized that the place was unexpectedly large, and countless soldiers surrounded them with weapons, watching them covetously.And Aldrich stood at the back, and the soldiers moved out of the way, allowing the king's army to walk in front of Aldrich.

Even among so many soldiers, Aldridge stood out.He is a head taller than others, wearing black armor and cloak, black leather boots and black gloves, making him look very oppressive.The handsome face stared at them, showing no hostility.The king's army stopped, and when the leader of the soldiers saw Aldrich, his tone was no longer as arrogant as before. He only said, "Your Excellency, please come with us."

Aldrich stared at him deeply, and asked loudly, "Whose orders did you come here?"

"Your Majesty," replied the soldier-major.

"His Majesty is an executioner!" said Aldrich, and his voice carried through the fort with little effort: "You fought for His Majesty, and he put your lives and the lives of your friends in danger. !",

The soldier-captain raised his weapon: "Please don't say that, sir!"

Aldrich did not flinch at all, nor did he use force to stop him, but loudly declared the king's crimes, the evil deeds that the Shilan Empire had done in the south, and explained the inevitability that they would invade the Northern Alliance.When he spoke, no one interrupted, and his soldiers gradually became angry, gripped the spears in their hands more vigorously, and cheered for Aldrich.The king's soldiers slowly put down their weapons, and amid the cheers around them, they felt like a boat with nowhere to rely on in the rapids.Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldier commander said loudly: "Your Excellency, you don't have any evidence, you are slandering!"

At this moment, a big falcon flew across the air, it had long wings, and its cry was sharp and penetrating.The big falcon landed on the high tower, staring at the people below with a pair of black eyes, without any panic.

Evelia took a letter from Da Falcon's lap, she quickly walked down the tower, and read the contents of the letter beside Aldrich.

"I have obtained the content of the agreement between the Suha Kingdom and the Shilan Empire." Her fingers trembled slightly, and she said in a trembling voice: "The Shilan Empire transferred the 500 million gold coins to the Suha Kingdom, part of which was given to the prince, and part to the prince. King, the remaining part is given to the general and the prime minister. They demanded that when attacking Aldrich’s army, the Kingdom of Suha must provide assistance, cooperate internally and externally, and assist the Shilan Empire to win!"

She held the letter paper tightly in the palm of her hand, sweat drenched the letter quickly.There is still a part that she didn't say in the back. The Shilan Empire will defeat the entire Northern Alliance, and the Suha Kingdom will be the only surviving kingdom in the entire alliance after the victory.After that, the Shilan Empire withdrew from the Northern Alliance, taking only money and loot.The Suha Kingdom can unify the scattered and incomplete Northern Alliance and become the Suha Empire.After that, the Suha Empire and the Shilan Empire will establish a stable and unified alliance. The Suha Empire only needs to provide a large amount of slaves and money to the Shilan Empire every year, and allow the Church of Chaos to develop freely within the scope of the Suha Empire...

This is the complete content of the entire agreement.

Evelia was terrified and angry about this. She looked at the soldiers with scorching eyes: "The king is going to betray the entire Northern Alliance! The money was distributed to all the big men, but let you point your weapons at your fellow countrymen!"

Although she was petite, her aura overwhelmed everyone at the moment. Under her gaze, the soldier captain slowly lowered his weapon.The soldiers hugged each other dejectedly, weeping bitterly.
