From Wild Mage to Wizard King

After Roland and Hela had a brief exchange, Hela returned to Roland's side, and the relationship between the two quickly returned to its previous state.

Roland could also guess about Hela's situation.

Although in Roland's opinion, Hela was just overthinking, and had an inexplicable inferiority complex.

Although Hela's background was indeed a bit worse, Roland's background was similar to Hela's.

Moreover, Hela's strength was not bad.

Roland's training of Hela was also based on the standards of elite extraordinary people, rather than the quick training program of military extraordinary people.

With Hela's talent and hard work, whether in actual combat power or knowledge reserves, Hela is now not inferior to extraordinary people of the same age and level.

In the War Committee, Hela can be said to be second only to Roland.

Whether it is a mid-level extraordinary person like Odin who was absorbed from the border faction, or Julius, Tula, and the original body, who have risen in recent years, military extraordinary people, are far inferior to Hela.

Although Hela has only appeared as Roland's follower and the leader of the spellcaster team in recent years, and has not performed well most of the time, Hela is still very strong. If they fight to the death, no extraordinary person in the committee can survive Hela's hands.

Based on Roland's understanding of Hela, Hela's current ability can basically win against ordinary mid-level extraordinary people. Even if she fights against ordinary high-level extraordinary people, she can fight for more than ten rounds, but she will definitely not be able to win.

As for knowledge reserves, Hela has been with Roland for more than ten years and is very familiar with various extraordinary knowledge. In addition to the positive and negative energy that she specializes in, Hela has some knowledge of other spells, and has also performed well in runes, alchemy, and strange machines.

Moreover, after following Roland into Donnar, in order to relieve Roland's pressure, Hela also exercised her administrative and military abilities. After training, Hela's administrative and military abilities are not bad, and she also has her own opinions on various issues of the committee.

Therefore, Hela is an excellent mid-level spellcaster with considerable achievements in all aspects, and there is no need for her to feel inferior.

In addition, Roland and Hela have been together since the North, and have been with each other for nearly 20 years. They still have feelings for each other. Even Roland, after so many years of getting along, is very concerned about and values ​​Hela.

Although Roland is not very interested in love, if he must find a partner, the only person he can accept is probably Hela.

However, although he thought so, Roland did not speak out his thoughts directly. After all, it was a bit too humble to say so directly.

Moreover, based on Roland's understanding of Hela, if Roland played a straight ball, Hela would probably not accept it given her current inferiority complex.

Hela probably thought that she was just a mid-level spellcaster and was not worthy of Roland, although Roland did not think there was any problem of whether she was worthy or not.

Therefore, Roland's idea was to talk to Hela after Hela was promoted to a high-level.

Although Roland might have been a legend by then, according to the recorded history of this world, the legends who had partners were basically high-level spellcasters, and there had never been a record of two legends being together.

With this precedent, Hela would not feel that she was unworthy after becoming a high-level spellcaster.

If Hela still had some thoughts about Roland at that time, Roland would be ready to take the initiative. Of course, if Hela had thoughts about other people, Roland would choose to respect and bless.

After Hela ended her meditation and lost control and regained her composure, she also reviewed the process of Roland coming to her room to comfort her. Therefore, she was also keenly aware of some of Roland's thoughts that he had actively revealed.

After noticing some of Roland's thoughts, although Hela knew that Roland would not reject her if she took the initiative now, as Roland guessed, Hela did not directly confess to Roland, but just returned to her previous state.

The two basically knew each other's thoughts, but they tacitly did not mention it, and acted as if nothing had happened as before.

In short, the problem between the two came to an end.

After Roland took advantage of the short free time in the new year to solve the problem of Hela, the political and military affairs that Roland needed to deal with also increased.

Although the War Committee easily annexed the entire coalition army and became the only regime in Donnar, the annexation of the coalition army also brought many problems to the War Committee.

You know, the coalition army was once the only regime in Donnar, controlling all the territories in Donnar that were not controlled by the Green Tide, including the former rebels, which were only relatively autonomous, but still belonged to the coalition army.

After Roland's coup, overthrowing the rebels and establishing the War Committee, the War Committee only accepted the rebels' territories in their entirety. Even if the War Committee marched eastward for the war preparation plan and recovered all the land from the original territory to the northern wall, the total area of ​​the War Committee's territory was smaller than that of the coalition army.

Moreover, due to the war preparation plan, among the territories of the War Committee, only the former rebels' territories were the real core areas, and the newly recovered eastern territories did not even have civilians, but only existed as battlefields.

After the war between Roland and Kan'ozu, the core territory in the west was not damaged much, but the eastern territory was severely damaged, and it took a lot of effort to clean up and deal with it.

Therefore, before taking action against the United Army, only the core area of ​​the land controlled by the War Council was operating normally, and the remaining half of the territory, that is, the eastern territory, was completely negligible.

Therefore, the War Council annexed the United Army, and it can be said that the land controlled by it has tripled or even quadrupled.

In terms of population, although it was constantly exploited by Eleanor, the United Army was once the most powerful force in East Nar.

A large number of refugees chose to flee to the United Army instead of the Committee, and with the population used from Sinnar, the population of the United Army was much larger than that of the Committee.

Therefore, after swallowing the United Army in one gulp, the size of the War Council can be said to have directly doubled several times.

And the excessive expansion and rapid expansion of the size have also bred a large number of administrative and military problems.

At present, the order and stability of the former United Army territory, the current control area of ​​the War Council, are maintained by strict military and material control.

Once the War Committee withdraws troops and supplies, the order of the occupied area will collapse instantly. Military high-pressure rule is not a proper solution after all. The occupied area still needs to be cored and incorporated into the War Committee.

How to integrate and core the huge occupied area is the most important administrative problem of the committee at present.

Since Roland does not intend to claim that the War Committee is the successor of the United Army or the Central Kingdom, and Roland did not absorb the feudal nobles within the United Army, the local forces in the entire occupied area were swept away by Roland during the war.

Therefore, if the committee wants to rule the huge occupied area, it can only rely on the administrative official system.

However, the United Army has too much land and population. Even if the War Committee tries its best to increase the expansion speed of the administrative system, it will take nearly two years for the War Committee to complete the integration of the vast territory and population.

However, this is the most brainless solution that only expands the administrative system without considering other factors.

In fact, the administrative department submitted several different solutions to this problem.

The first plan: follow the plan of the war committee at the beginning of its establishment, re-establish the central bank province and the committee province in the occupied area, relieve administrative pressure through the method of committee province autonomy, and then gradually change the committee province to the central bank province.

This plan is low-cost and low-pressure, but it takes a long time, and there is a possibility of local forces growing.

The second plan: follow and combine the plan that the Central Kingdom has implemented, implement village governance, establish villages in various parts of the occupied area, and send knights to manage them, while the towns are under the responsibility of the administrative system and stationed with legions to ensure control over the villages. Later, the knights will be assessed, and those who pass the assessment will be incorporated into the administrative system, and those who fail will be forced to redeem the policy to regain control of the villages.

This plan is similar to the previous one, but compared with the previous one, this plan can only foster some scattered village autonomy.

The third plan: merge villages and towns, give up control of part of the territory in the occupied area, centrally manage the population of the United Army, force villages to merge, thereby reducing the number of villages and towns under rule, and reduce the shortage of officials in a semi-military way.

This plan is effective quickly and has strong effects. The disadvantage is that the cost of merging villages and towns is high. Migrating population, building new houses, and reclaiming wasteland all require a lot of resources to support. Moreover, the semi-military way will tie up a large number of soldiers of the committee in the occupied area, and the garrison is also a considerable expense.

In addition, the concentration of population also means that some of the developed land of the United Army may be abandoned and abandoned, which also means that the hematopoietic capacity of the occupied area will also decline, and the core area will need more blood transfusions for one or two years.

The third plan is good in everything, but it costs money, especially money, and it takes a lot of resources to support it.

Looking at the three plans submitted by the administrative department, Roland also silently thought about which one to choose.

To be honest, Roland himself is more inclined to the third plan, but looking at the rough resource list given by the administrative department, Roland hesitated.

If the third plan is adopted, half of the wealth looted from the nobles in the coalition army may have to be invested, and this is only the cost of integrating the core. Subsequent construction and development will also require a lot of resources.

What the core area has now, we must also have here.

The stone road must be repaired, various large public works and water conservancy projects must be repaired, backward towns and villages must be renovated and expanded, and some basic welfare such as literacy, low-cost strange equipment, and communication networks must be equipped. This is another huge expense.

Even if all the wealth from the nobles of the coalition army is invested, it may not be enough. At most, it can only support the development of one or two years.

When Roland thought of this, he was even more helpless.

When the battle against the coalition army just ended in the new year, Roland saw the war harvest provided by the administrative department and the military department, and he thought the harvest was not small. Now, Roland thinks that the nobles of the coalition army are a bunch of poor ghosts, and this wealth is not enough for the committee to spend.

However, even so, Roland is still more inclined to the third plan. The hidden dangers of the first and second plans are too great. The former will nourish local forces, while the latter may pollute the administrative system, and there are not so many knights. Send it to Roland.

In addition, the most important point is that these two plans will turn the vast rural areas into unobservable black areas. Who knows what the rural areas will look like after autonomy.

Based on what Roland has seen in this world, Roland has no doubt that once these rural areas become autonomous, they will definitely become extremely rotten.

Instead of choosing to merge the coalition forces peacefully, they instead used force to annex them. This had already caused hardship to the ordinary people and caused them to suffer from the war for another three months. Roland was not willing to suffer the ordinary people even more now.

Roland rubbed his head and saw Hela beside him from the corner of his eye. Roland asked.

"Hela, which of these three options do you think is better?"

Hela poured Roland a glass of wisdom liquid, walked slowly to Roland's side, and placed the wisdom liquid on the table. Then, she took the plan handed over by Roland and silently read through it.

Roland picked up the liquid of wisdom, took a few sips slowly, and thought silently.

Now the War Commission is in dire need, and resources are needed everywhere. The Ordnance Industrial Zone, the Botanical Garden, and the Burial Ground all need resources to expand and develop. Moreover, popularizing Ordnance, expanding the Extraordinary Academy, and popularizing basic education also require a lot of resources. resource.

In addition, the countless scars left by the War Council in Donnar in order to fight the green tide also require resources to repair. Ordinary dead land, contaminated dead land and black soil all require a large amount of resources to deal with.

With the annexation of the Union Army, the border wall is also in the hands of the commission, and the repair project of the border wall will cost a lot of money.

Moreover, after establishing diplomatic relations with other forces, it is necessary to send envoys. As the committee's face outside, the diplomatic expenses must be spent and cannot be saved.

In addition, although the Union Army was captured by the Committee, there were still rogue bandits in the occupied areas, and the border between the Committee and the Green Tide became longer.

Sending troops to clean up rogue bandits and garrison borders would be a huge expense.

Damn it, why do I feel like I'm short of money everywhere?

I have created an easter egg map and am still reviewing it.

Just draw it casually, just make do with it.
