The archbishop finally did something good.
With the food he brought from the neighboring city of Surma, today's dinner was the most sumptuous Wang Chu had eaten in a while.
This food was brought according to the standards of the march.
It was enough to feed hundreds of thousands of troops for half a month.
More would be shipped from Surma City in the future.
Theron has always advocated water transportation, and the two cities happened to be connected by waterways.
Most of the funds for the suffering of the empire's cities will be paid by the imperial capital, so Leoric who was present had nothing to do with it.
There was abundant rain in the south and there was a lot of aquatic products close to the long river basin.
If there was a single round of food, every city would not be short of it.
If we don't sell them all at low prices when the empire appears, they will be piled up and broken before winter.
So Leoric readily agreed, which made Theron extremely grateful.
Wang Chu watched from the sidelines, not to mention how embarrassing it was for these two people to perform like a show.
Well, it's not easy to run a city, and there are two more actors here.
Moreover, Archbishop Benedictus was very cooperative, praising the two cities for being very harmonious, and saying that this is how the cities of the empire should be.
Wang Chu was eating by himself, because the team would not bring fresh meat for long-distance transportation.
It was all marinated meat, but it was very well marinated.
This kind of taste had never been tasted in the Imperial Capital or Hajir City.
It's a specialty or something.
He noticed a pair of eyes that seemed to be looking at him under his eyelids.
He looked up and saw the female paladin Akara sitting next to the archbishop looking at him.
You look at what I am doing to eat your food.
Wang Chu rolled his eyes at the other person.
Humans probably couldn't see the squirrel's expression, so it didn't matter anyway.
When eating, I like to eat in the form of a small animal, so that the portion becomes larger.
This bug was discovered a long time ago.
If I eat in the form of a werewolf or a giant bear, a piece of meat will not be enough for a mouthful.
The portion is large, but if it's a squirrel or a raven, it can basically fill up one person.
"General Rias, does the Crow God usually eat like this?"
Akela came over curiously.
She stayed on the table to the right of Rias, and she was to the left of Rias, so she could still stand between the two of them if they were close. comminicate.
The archbishop was busy getting acquainted with several high-ranking priests and priests in Sun Chaser City, but the paladin lord was robbed of the limelight.
"You said Cam has always been like this."
Rias said casually.
Don't ask about such a natural thing every time.
"Hey, it seems like it can understand what we're talking to."
Wang Chu raised his head while eating.
Since you know that I can understand, you still say what I say to my face.
"Shh, don't say that in front of Cam, if he gets angry," Rias said. puff "It's so interesting.
I didn't know that the Crow God was usually in this state.
I remember the domineering presence in the sky that day, and the vicious bird and beast that my brother described as standing and walking."
Wang Chu's head was filled with black lines as he listened to the other party's description.
Oh, when did my owl beast look like that?
After dinner, the Archbishop asked Rias and Akela to stay alone.
Since they were both coming from the imperial capital to lead the generals, they might have to explain some things specially.
Wang Chu, as the summoner, of course followed Rias.

He thought that the other party would say Something useful turns out to be about the situation here.
I want to know the truth from Rias.
"Although I haven't been here long, most of what Lord Theron said is true.
At least he won't lie about the southern border."
Although Rias has never been to the wilderness, what Ain said before is pretty much the same.
Same situation, so basically no problem.
"That will be difficult."
The archbishop said with a meaningful expression.
"What's the problem, Archbishop?"
"It's still a matter in the wilderness.
Do you know that I took the initiative to come here this time?
The Great Conjurer is responsible for the safety of the king.
He usually does not leave the imperial capital.
Several marshals control a large number of soldiers and horses in the empire.
Unless a war breaks out, they rarely go to the borders of the empire, but things involving the Demons are very difficult, so only I can come over."
Benedictus said.
"Is it because the Imperial Capital discovered the Earth Demon?"
Rias asked.
In fact, Wang Chu really wanted to ask other people.
As the Asta Empire is so big, there should be other masters.
Why don't they come over?
"Yes, they didn't leave any useful information, but even when they died, they were laughing, so I'm very worried.
Ain has gone to the wilderness for so long to save his son and there is still no news.
Well, We can't wait any longer and need to set off as soon as possible," Benedictus finally said.
"Um."
Both of them nodded.
A warrior, a paladin and a priest can lead a pretty good team.
There are also Ain and the great magisters of Sun Chaser City in the wilderness.
This configuration is already the strongest combination I have ever seen, so there should be no problem.
After giving the instructions, the group of people dispersed.
The following day, Rias gathered all the troops, and Nico found several logistics personnel who had left the team.
"There are still escapees in our team" Rias asked.
"Not our original soldiers, it seems."
Nicos looked around and there was no one else except Lucia.
"That time the general asked me to hire civilians from the imperial capital.
I don't know why most of them left."
She looked at the two people and said in confusion.
"Very few people have been to the southern wilderness.
Even in folk stories, it is regarded as a dangerous place.
If they are not our soldiers, forget it and leave.
The money they hired should be given to them.
After that, Just let them go."
Lucia knows more about civilian affairs.
Civilians will not take risks in dangerous places, and this time there are still women.
It's okay not to go, it will save you a lot of trouble.

"Well, let's do that.
Even if any of them are willing to go, they don't need to take them with them.
Just give them the last bit of money and let them live in the south."
Ordinary civilians in this world do not have a fixed residence status.
They can move from the Imperial Capital to the Southern Territory or to the Western Territory.
Many of them gradually become dependent on a certain city because they have lived on a piece of land for several generations.
"Okay, General."
In the end, Liya's troops, the people brought by the archbishop, plus 15,000 people each from Sun Chaser City and Surma City, a total of 50,000 people were quickly assembled.
And Benedictus did not continue to wait for news, but asked the team to set off directly to the south.
The mighty team headed towards the southern gate of the empire, the southern border where humans live
