The sunset was as red as the clouds, and the cool breeze blew slowly and cheerfully, and after all this time of tinkering in the city of Breitll, all the holes and scars were repaired.
The two tall magic crystal cannons at the main city gate flickered with a faint red light in the sunset, and they seemed to be able to swallow out huge tongues of fire at any time.
Helentina, who was forced by Han Shuo to sign a contract, looked at the two magic crystal cannons that were supposed to belong to her at the gate of Brettel City, and felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Han Shuo smiling at Mimi on the city wall.
Holding her contract, he waved goodbye and said, "Dear Duke Helen, we will not escort you." ” Fang Xin cursed Han Shuo's ancestors for eighteen generations, Helen Tina was concerned about the rebellion that might occur at any time in the Principality of Hilon, and her spiritual power was restored and she slowly used the flotation technique to fly into the air, her bright eyes glared at Han Shuo fiercely for a while, and she gritted her teeth in a low voice and said, "Greedy devil, I will definitely come back for revenge."
"Have a good trip, remember to return the gold coins you owe me in three months" Han Shuo shook the contract in his hand with a smile, as if to remind Helentina not to think about repaying the debt.
"Hmph" Helentina looked away angrily, and slowly flew in the direction of the Duchy of Hiren as a fiery red shadow, which was like a rainbow piercing the sky under the sunset of the fiery clouds.
"My lord is so evil, not only took possession of this femme fatale, but also extorted a large amount of gold coins, it is really cannibalistic and does not spit out bones" Chester shook his head and sighed, looking at Han Shuo's eyes full of admiration.
"I didn't expect this Helentina to be so beautiful, no wonder Benedict of the Duchy of Nathan would be so infatuated with her, but unfortunately, alas, he would not have thought that the adults would pick this flower first."
Dick laughed gloatingly, maliciously speculating about Benedict's ugly appearance when he found out about it.
"Lord of the City, after Helentina leaves, I think she will be unwilling with her cruelty.
Well, as long as she releases the news that our city of Brettel has her 400,000 gold coins, I think the Seven Duchies will definitely be greedy.
Varchlan, who was leaning against Han Shuo, said to Han Shuo worriedly after Helentina left.
Looking at the sky full of red glow, Han Shuo frowned and pondered for a while, then his eyes fell on the few mountains and rivers around Brettel City that had faint shadows, and then he said to Dick in the distance: "Dick, you send someone to take a trip to the surrounding mountains and rivers, and invite the leaders of the mountain people on those mountains to come to Bretl City, and say that I will invite them to dinner." ” "My lord, since the previous city lords of Brettel City were incompetent people and never able to help them resist the robbers, they have always had no good impression of the city lords of Brettel City, and naturally they are not in awe.
I could have passed the news to them, but I was afraid that they would despise us and not come to the feast.
Dick looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before explaining to Han Shuo.
"At this time and then, Forkalin of Mount Tari will definitely come, and if Forkalin communicates with the others before he comes, I think the leaders of the other mountains who know our strength will also be willing to come down.
Hehe, it was before and now it is, the whole city of Brettel is my territory, and they are all my people, if these people really don't know what to do, I will let them know how to respect a city lord.
Han Shuo said to Dick unhurriedly.
Nodding, Dick agreed, "Well, I'll let them know." ” Dick is also a mountain man, before Han Shuo came to Brett City, he had some contact with the mountain people in the surrounding mountains, and secretly maintained a good light system, originally Dick did not have any hope for Han Shuo, but now after seeing Han Shuo's strength and means, he knew in his heart that if those rebellious compatriots provoked Han Shuo, they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
Therefore, as soon as Han Shuo's words fell, Dick made up his mind to persuade those rebellious compatriots to come over, he didn't want those people to die under Han Shuo's undead army.
After Dick left, Han Shuo said to Varclan, "Use the gold coins in our hands and give me all the strength to arm the entire Brettel City."
Chariots, trebuchets, oil, goblin missiles, and other firepower, I have commissioned some trading houses to transport them, and all you have to do is have the stonemasons tamp any fragile part of the wall for me, and increase the wall high enough for me. ” "Lord Castle, the craftsmen are already working overtime to do these things.
At present, what we lack most is people and soldiers with combat effectiveness, the city of Brettel has been poisoned by the war, the total number of residents in the city is only about 50,000, and some million cities are really small compared to the population, some of them are young and strong people are less, this time has been conscription, but such a big temptation is only more than 200 soldiers, the number is really far from enough With such a large Brettel City, it is basically impossible to protect the four gates with more than 3,000 soldiers in the city alone, even if we have strong firepower, but we also need people to do it, if the population problem cannot be solved, I think Brettel City will always be this lifeless.
"Wackerland is a knight who has been trained in war, and he can see at a glance what Breitl City lacks the most, which is also the biggest weakness of Breitl City at present.
This is indeed a difficult problem, and Han Shuo also understands that the worst thing in Brett City right now is people, but there is no good way to solve it.
Breitl City has been in the midst of war, and some residents who have walked out of Breitl City for so many years have compared Breitl City to hell on earth, not only the original residents who came out but also the civilians of other cities who know Breitl City, and it is estimated that they will not be willing to move to Breitl City.
What Han Shuo can do now is to first ensure the safety of Brettel City, and then start from all aspects, through good policies, security conditions, and interests conducive to their development, little by little, attract residents from other cities to settle in Brettel City.
It's just that this is not an overnight process, it does take a period of transition, at least the threat of looting by the seven principalities must be cleared, so that others can slowly understand that Brettel is indeed safe, so as to dispel the panic of the fearful.
"Well, I know this is indeed our biggest problem, for the time being, we really can't attract residents to move in, but as long as we can stop the looting of the Seven Duchies and pass on the news that Brettel City is safe, some homesick original residents will probably be willing to come back, and start from all sides little by little, I think sooner or later Brettel City will be able to have a grand occasion."
At present, some of the men and soldiers we have sent can start from the mountain people in the surrounding mountains, and this is the purpose of my sending them to the city of Breitle.
I heard Dick say that there were 30,000 or 40,000 mountain people in the surrounding mountains, and about 10,000 of them had combat effectiveness.
If this group of forces can be mastered and utilized, coupled with our well-equipped and six magic crystal cannons, we will have a better chance of winning against the invasion of the seven principalities with strong walls.
Han Shuo had already thought about this issue and explained the intention of summoning the mountain people for Varclan.
"Since my lord has already thought it through, then I won't say much, in addition, Young Master Lawrence, I will send a few people who are good at managing the city's management finances to come over recently, and the military and political affairs of Brettel City should also be on the right track."
Varchran said respectfully.
Nodding, Han Shuo said lightly, "Well, these things will be arranged by you for the time being." ” At present, Breitl City has a lot of work to do, and there is an extreme shortage of talents of all kinds, and the military and political talents arranged by Lawrence can indeed play an important role.
However, these people were all arranged by Lawrence, and once the military and political talents controlled the important positions in Brettel City in the early stage, it would be a little difficult to eliminate them in the future.
If this situation is allowed to continue to develop, Han Shuo has been using Lawrence's people to manage the military and politics, and this kind of unwitting infiltration may slowly turn Bretter City into Lawrence's.
Han Shuo is much more mature now than before, and he understands this drawback in his heart, but unfortunately he doesn't have his own people available in his hands now, whether Lawrence has good intentions or other intentions is not easy to guess for the time being, it is now the time when there is the most shortage of talents, and now he can only do this first.
But in Han Shuo's heart, he had already begun to think about the future, and he really thought about starting to use some of his own cronies, whether it was cultivating or excavating, this was not a simple matter, Han Shuo had this idea in his mind, and gradually walked towards his room.
Staying in the City Lord's Mansion for two days, Han Shuo supervised the progress of some of the city's defenses during the day and tirelessly practiced magic and magic at night.
However, the breakthrough of the Demon Skill is more and more difficult the further it goes, relying on this kind of boring cultivation alone is not a big progress, but Han Shuo, who has the spiritual power of the Great Demon Master, can make rapid progress in magic.
Therefore, at present, Han Shuo is putting more energy into the study of necromancy.
Using the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, Han Shuo could easily travel to the Death Cemetery, the Death Cemetery was the most suitable cultivation holy place for necromancers, not only with a strong death qi, but also a complete magic instrument and laboratory, every night Han Shuo stayed alone in the Death Cemetery, capturing some living demonic beasts to practice the magic of "Soul Tremor".

According to the study of the soul and the memory of the demonic skill, Han Shuo gradually felt that the understanding of the soul and the change of the divine consciousness had something in common.
Especially in this realm, the divine consciousness that can sense the breath of all living beings around it, cause illusions to people's souls, plant magic records and other wonderful effects, and communicate the spiritual power of the ubiquitous magic elements in this world, it seems that there is some wonderful similarity in some aspects, and Han Shuo, who had a whim, even pondered whether magic and magic can be fused together, complementing each other with some of their disadvantages and strengths and weaknesses.
However, for the current Han Shuo, it is still very difficult to implement this wonderful idea.
Because in any field, Han Shuo has not yet reached true mastery, and it will be a long process of exploration to integrate the two, and it seems that it will not be possible to implement it in a short time.
"Soul Tremor", a magic that uses spiritual power to attack the opponent's soul, Han Shuo used the living demonic beast to test it for two days, plus some of his perceptions of the divine sense attack, he gradually touched some points in the past two days.
Walking out of the cemetery of death on the third day, Han Shuo felt a comfortable feeling as the warm sun shone on his body.
When Han Shuo was inspecting the progress of Brettel City, Dick appeared out of nowhere and respectfully walked to Han Shuo's side and said, "My lord, according to your orders, I have sent out your invitation, and the five mountain leaders on the surrounding mountains have agreed to go to Brettel City for a banquet in seven days. ” Smiling slightly, Han Shuo glanced at Dick deeply, and said pointedly, "Dick, you are also a mountain man, I know that this matter is entrusted to you, and you will definitely not let you down." ” Of course, otherwise, with your means, I am afraid that the leaders of the mountain people who dare not come will suffer, and I don't want to become a sinner of the mountain people.
Dick thought secretly in his heart, but his face was respectful, and he said with a smile: "The fact that my lord destroyed the red-bearded robber has given confidence to the mountain people, and I think their hearts must be full of hope when they go to the banquet this time." ” "Maybe I'm more afraid, haha" Han Shuo looked at Dick with a smile and said, how could he not know what those people and mountain people thought, Dick said everything, they naturally knew what to do.
"Well, there should be a little bit, hehe" Dick replied with a dry smile, looking at Han Shuo's eyes, Dick felt that Han Shuo seemed to know everything in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little secretly frightened.
