Not a Witch

The battle is still not over, and both sides will continue to learn and grow in the process of competition until the more advanced and outstanding side completely overwhelms the other.

Chapter 190 Three Iron Cavalry Heading South

Lorraine Hill, who woke up again, walked through the busy lord's mansion, watching the administrators shuttle back and forth with various documents, gathering and sorting out all kinds of news.

"Regarding the food shortage in the three thorn provinces, the headquarters has decided to mobilize the local food reserves to be escorted by the fourth and sixth legions..."

"Due to the defeat of the front line, we need to build a defensive fort in Hongdu County to gain precious breathing time."

"The ninth recruiting is coming to an end, and the 9 newly enlisted soldiers will be scattered in eleven training camps to receive 40 days of militarized training."

"After the production task at the end of this month is over, the three firearm production lines in the headquarters will be transferred to the deep mountains behind to prepare for the possible decisive battle and revival."

After only sleeping for more than 3 months, the situation in the territory and the organization is completely different, and many of the faces are even unfamiliar to the girl.

"Master Jialan, Lord Geweier is in a meeting right now, while Lord Guvas is leading most of the troops to fight in the front, and Lord Lubin is touring the provincial capitals to mobilize."

Two Sequence 5 knights followed the girl and explained to her one by one. .During the time when Lorraine Hill was asleep, they and a group of guards took turns guarding the outside, and the girl was known to them immediately after she woke up.

"How is the situation now? I seem to have heard a lot of bad news." Lorraine Hill looked around, feeling a tense atmosphere permeating the surroundings.

"Yes, we are facing a lot of problems today." The problem cannot be concealed, and these guards especially hope that this lord can come out and solve it.

During the time when Lorraine Hill was asleep, various rumors about this girl continued.

Some say that she is a witch from the east, some say that she is a witch who woke up from a deep sleep, and some say that she is a mythical fairy who has disappeared in legends and has all kinds of incredible abilities.

No matter what, having such a person standing on his side would be a great boost to his momentum, and the scene that night also made many local residents completely worship and believe in this existence.

For these ordinary people who rarely saw great figures, the grand battle that took place that night was like an ancient legend sung by poets. It was thrilling, magnificent and miraculous, making people unforgettable forever.

As a result, many people even had a kind of blind admiration for this girl, and her portraits quickly became popular, and because many painters had never seen her, and could not even draw such a face, they simply Leave blank on the face, bringing people infinite reverie.

In the mottled sea of ​​flowers, this girl with butterfly wings twirled lightly, her silver or red hair fluttering, covering the side of her face, leaving only a delicate and moving figure.

And overnight, the local bards also quickly created various stories, some related to witches, some related to ancient goblins, and some related to the mysterious East. It is false, and I am willing to listen to it, and then sigh and sing.

The reason why a good story is a good story sometimes may not be because the plot itself is excellent, but because people like and want to hear such stories.

Originally, Lorraine Hill was also worried that he would be interrogated in various ways about his origin or identity, but it seems that he doesn't have to worry about this issue now.

Because even if she denies that she is a witch, many people will nod their heads and say that there is no problem. This mythical goblin/oriental witch/exotic princess/hero descendant/awakened witch will definitely use various words to cover up her true identity , and everyone understands this approach.

Now it's a war, and only by keeping the other party from knowing the details of one's own side can there be a greater chance of winning. It's just a trivial matter to cover up one's identity. After all, this person is fighting the enemy with his life for everyone's sake.This kind of trust no longer needs to be verified by identity.

"Okay, I probably understand the current situation." After listening to the explanations of the people around her, Lorraine Hill shook her head helplessly. She could imagine that during the few months when she was away, the stories about her outside had grown. How many versions have been released, and many people listen to the ones they like, and believe in various identities and images. If she stands up and explains now, many people's dreams will be shattered.

"Regardless of what everyone thinks of me, can you tell me about the current battle situation?"

When they came to a meeting room, several persons in charge came one after another and gathered together. Then Lorraine Hill also sat down and began to listen carefully to various reports.

The first is the current situation. After the victory that night, one organization was greatly encouraged, and started another round of expansion, conquering two provinces one after another, and then facing the arrival of winter.

Due to the blockade of heavy snow, the attack had to be slowed down. At this time, they had already occupied about one-third of the territory in the southern border. Marching in the field is also easy to be surrounded by imperial cavalry.

"Currently the land we own, the westernmost part is Sanci Province, which is separated by high mountains and is relatively stable. The north part is Dimo ​​Province. Now because of the defeat in the war, most of it has been taken back by the empire. Now it is in Hongdu County. Build a fort defense in the West Canyon."

"To the east is Longyi Province, and to the south is Suijin Province. There are many rivers there, and there are fewer enemies around."

"The empire's legion is currently divided into two groups. One is attacking from Dime Province, and the other is attacking from Oath Hill Province. We have lost the battle in Dime Province, and Oath Hill Province is also in danger. We are currently shrinking our defenses."

"According to reports, many imperial legions gathered at the Hill of Oath, where the camps stretch for miles. If they capture Oath Hill Province, our connection with Dragon Wing Province and other eastern provinces will also be cut off."

"Currently we can't expand westward, because the farther west is close to the border of Crancia, where a large number of warriors of the Griffin family are stationed, including the Griffon Legion that soars into the sky, which is not something we can match at the moment."

"Although the vertical water network in Suijin Province in the south allows us to easily stop the enemy, it also limits the logistics and transportation, making it difficult for us to attack on a large scale from here."

After reporting the information on the situation, everyone began to talk about internal affairs one after another. Compared with the setbacks encountered in the battle, the reforms in the organization are now proceeding in a hurry.

A large amount of land was liberated from the nobles and the empire and distributed to the general public. At the same time, various towns and even villages began to establish organizational divisions to implement control to every corner.

The new edition of textbooks and brochures are printed at the same time. When learning characters, a new trend of thought begins to be popularized, so that all residents in the territory can reach a consensus as soon as possible and stand on a unified front.

Militarized training began to be carried out in various towns, and suitable young adults would be selected to join the army, firearms were distributed, and more professional training was conducted.

A large number of women were also organized to enter workshops to help process military supplies, and as long as there was suitable land in the local area, they would try their best to cultivate it to increase food reserves.

Because of the acquisition of land and promises, the production enthusiasm of the people in the entire territory has increased unprecedentedly, and many people even spontaneously provide various kinds of help for the organization. As a result, the major transportation routes in various provinces were quickly dredged, and various materials were quickly distributed. Circulation, so that the goods that were not squeezed by the market in the past can be sold, and at the same time, more people can buy affordable living materials.

"If we are given another three years, we will no longer fear the suppression of the empire's legions."

"It's a pity that the enemy won't give up this time easily." The girl shook her head lightly, and turned to look at the map behind her.

Now that the iron cavalry of the empire has gone south, what methods will they use to deal with it.

Chapter 190 Four Newcomers

After waking up, Lorraine Hill gathered again with several high-level officials of 'Dryerwood'. They were sitting in a room with closed curtains, and the fire in the fireplace was burning brightly.

Geweier thoughtfully prepared warm vanilla milk for several people. In this cold spring season, you can drink it slowly while warming your hands.

After that, the eldest lady sat down again and looked at the people in the room. Compared with the past, she seemed to have grown a lot and calmed down a lot.

"At present, the legions of the empire have been assembled and are starting to fight one after another. The situation we are facing is very serious." Lu Bin spoke first.

"I also read a lot of reports yesterday, and only then did I have a general understanding." Lorraine Hill stroked his hair. .

"We lack cavalry. We are very passive in the face of mobile enemies, and we also lack sufficient means to deal with those elite legions."

Those extraordinary legions wearing breastplates and holding sharp knives are not something ordinary soldiers can deal with.

"Or, we need to find some foreign aid." The girl was thoughtful.

There are not only them in the southern part of the empire, but also many potential hidden forces. Some of them are the remnants of the old nobles, some are the union of merchants and trade unions, and there are also secret mages, religious and even intelligence organizations. There are many extraordinary people in these organizations.

If one of them can be recruited, their environment can be eased a lot.

"Although these organizations are not very satisfied with the empire, it is difficult for them to stand on our side with all their strength." Geweier analyzed in a low voice. She is the most knowledgeable person among several people except Lorraine Hill. accept various education and learning.

"So we need to prescribe the right medicine." Lorraine Hill rubbed his forehead, and had to think about these complicated people's hearts.

"If it is an extraordinary school similar to scholars, they naturally hope that their knowledge can be recognized and promoted by the public. This is the practice of their lifelong pursuit."

"However, it is still difficult for them to risk their lives to do this kind of thing. If we are stronger and can protest against the empire's counter-insurgency army, they may consider it." Lu Bin analyzed slowly.

"That's right, those guys are like this. They always bet on the winner." Gu Huasi said at this time. Compared with before, he has several more scars on his body, but they are not serious.

"This creates a paradox. We need to use them as allies to strengthen our own strength, but if we want them to join, we must first have strong strength." The girl felt a burst of helplessness.

"In addition, whether these people will bring a bad atmosphere is also a risky thing. Their ideas may not agree with us."

"It's really troublesome."

After discussing for a while, they couldn't find a complete solution for the time being, but they also began to prepare a lot of emergency measures for the empire's cavalry going south.

The long-forgotten spear array was activated again, which has been a sharp weapon against cavalry since ancient times.In the future battles, each team will equip about 20% of the people with long guns to deal with the cavalry's charge.

In addition, the Wenlani workshop began to research and make a new steel material. These irons were drawn into wires, and then wrapped with various spikes. At the same time, they were also equipped with production shovels and some wooden stakes for excavation of fortifications.

And during this intense production season, two special guests also came to the territory.

"Hello, where can I meet your high-ranking committee members?" A purple-haired woman on the street asked the soldiers on guard.

"I'm sorry this is confidential. May I ask what your intention is for asking this?" The soldier looked at the woman with a good figure vigilantly, and he could feel that the woman was a high-level transcendent.

"How to explain this, we also want to join, I know this is unexpected, but it seems to be the way it is."

"Then please fill in the form according to the formal procedures, and tell us about your ability, origin, purpose, and appeal. We will review it and then make arrangements or answers." The soldier narrated according to the recited provisions.

"Is that so..." Seeing that her companion was still hesitating, it was the girl beside her who poked her head out and asked softly.

"Then where do you sign up?"

Seeing this beautiful girl who was only about 16 years old, the soldier softened a little and gave them directions.

"Thank you."

"No, as long as you sincerely join, we welcome you, but if you have bad intentions, we are not afraid." The soldier stood upright, holding the musket and bayonet tightly in his hands.

Seeing his serious appearance, the woman covered her mouth and smiled, then closed her expression, hummed solemnly, and left with the girl beside her.

The snow on the ground has not yet melted. The two wore snow boots and walked slowly on the wet ground. Watching the pedestrians passing by, they felt the vitality of this remote city in their hearts.

Yes, if you hear the soldier's words for the first time, you may find them funny and naive, but if you hear and see them over and over again, it will be a different feeling.

Perhaps these people are not just casually using a righteous name to cover up their actions, as rumored by the outside world, they are really serious about creating such a world, an enlightened and just world.

Although Finnis agreed to Lottie's idea, she didn't bring her to this organization right away. Instead, she observed along the way and slowly watched for a long time before she really recognized it.

Although she has never been an aristocrat and has engaged in intrigues, but as an ordinary person, she has seen too high-sounding aristocrats in villages and small towns, and there are many inconsistent methods of deceiving people. People have come into contact with minor nobles and military officers, and their reputation and word of mouth are not very good, so it's no wonder that everyone doesn't believe it.

Even though this organization is now very powerful in the southern border, as long as the people who have no real contact with it still don't believe it, they have been trapped in the lies day after day for too long.

It's been so long that even if I face the truth, I can't believe it anymore.

Even many children who grew up in such an environment naturally think that the world is like this, it is so ugly, realistic, and beneficial.

"Hello, please fill out the form here." After queuing up, a young woman with short brown hair put two pieces of paper in front of them.

"Can you write? If not, we can help you here." She asked intimately, and then let the two sit under the tent.

"Yes." The two looked at the form, and there was no problem with the column about ability, but they were a little embarrassed about their background.

If you really write about Lottie's identity, you don't know what situation you will face.

But since they came here, they also had a lot of trust in this organization, and finally wrote down their real names.

"Fenice, are you a resident of Falling Fire Village? Well, there are actually quite a few of your fellow villagers here. Maybe you can visit me after a while." Looking at Fenice's information, the young counter lady nodded, She used to work in the Adventurer's Hall, so she was very accurate at seeing people.

The hair color of this Miss Finnis, as well as the scorching magic power exuding from her body, are similar to those in memory, so there is no problem.

"This, Charlanot...Are you sure it's the name...No...Uh, is it true?" She repeatedly compared the names on the paper, and then looked back and forth at this petite girl, completely staring at her. The arrogant and powerful temperament of the Baskar family can't be seen.

"In such a situation..." The counter lady began to feel anxious. On the one hand, she was worried that the two people were here to cause trouble, and on the other hand, she was afraid that the other party was real, so she didn't know how to arrange it.

What to do, she hesitated, and finally rang the bell next to her, and there was a crisp sound, and after a while, a large group of heavily armed soldiers rushed over.

Holding jade-steel halberds and wearing Jade Lin armor, they tightly surrounded the report and form-filling tents. A sharp blue cold light began to glow from the tip of the spears, and the magic power on their bodies began to flow among each other. into a tight network.

These 'Birin Army' are currently the most elite troops organized by 'Dryer Wood'. They have been responsible for guarding this core city and defending the empire's top assassins, and their direct boss is the blue-haired Dongfang Miko.

"What happened here?" When the situation was under control, the captain opened his mouth slowly, and bursts of white air slowly overflowed from under the mask of the armor.

Chapter 190 Five Fairy Dragon

Lorraine Hill, who was reading a letter from Carites in the study, received a report that two special guests had arrived.

"Descendants of the Red Dragon Duke?"
