Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Chapter 188 Conscripting the Militia

The first thing Adela III did when he returned to the City Lord's Mansion was to throw Horn, the head of the city defense army, into prison.

When the distraught lord was about to play tricks like his father taught him, and choose an officer who had a grudge with Horn to replace Horn, Butler Gould rushed back to stop him.

The transfer of property and heirs of the Bartleis family before the war had already made the city defense soldiers fluctuate. If they changed their generals temporarily, the combat effectiveness of this army would be completely abolished.

Adela III had no choice but to let Horn out to lead the army, and humbly listened to the advice of the old steward, ordering the city hall to organize people to recruit militias in the city to make up the number - the nobles had already renounced him, so he really could only go to the city hall up.

It is not a good idea to recruit "militiamen" from the city. The young and strong in the city are not as easy to be intimidated as the peasants in the country, but this is indeed the only way that Gould's housekeeper can think of at present: , then he can only make trouble for that illegitimate child as much as he can!

Casualties are unavoidable in the battle between the two armies. Rex's undead army kills and injures the civilians in the city. He will not be able to sit too comfortably in this position of lord; wait for the "strategic shift" of Bartles's family to a safe place to recharge their batteries and fight back again. At that time, the locals who had a bloody feud with Rex had to eat the pot of milk to welcome the master?

When the Bartleis family seized the last chance to add trouble to Rex, Viscount Darcy, who returned to his mansion, had no time to drink water, so he called for the butler Ford, and asked, "Why is there no news from Qina?"

It has been almost a week since Viscount Darcy sent his third granddaughter Qina to Westham. At this moment, His Excellency the Viscount is more concerned about the marriage of this granddaughter whom he doesn't really remember what he looks like like ever.

Butler Ford said embarrassingly: "This...Miss Qina sent someone back two days ago. Charlie Rex is not interested in her. She wants to ask if she can come back..."

Viscount Darcy slammed down his teacup and angrily scolded the unfilial granddaughter who had never shown any talent since she was a child and shamed the Darcy family.

Butler Ford kept his mouth shut.

Miss Qina was originally the least beautiful of her grandchildren. The Viscount looked down on Charlie Rex from the bottom of his heart, thinking that the least outstanding granddaughter was enough to get rid of the illegitimate son... Who is to blame for this.

Viscount Darcy had actually expected this, but he, who has been right all his life, would never admit his negligence that day, and must attribute all the mistakes to the ineffective Qina.

The two armies are at war, and if they send the most beautiful granddaughter to meet Rex in the enemy camp at this time, the Darcy family will become a joke of the entire Innatrix... Viscount Darcy paced anxiously in the study, unable to think about it for a while. It is not clear how to make up this "voting certificate".

Butler Ford knew that it was time to solve his master's problems, so he walked out of the study and asked the servant to bring in the things he had prepared.

A two-piece denim suit, a four-piece duvet cover with two pillowcases, a furry scarf that looks like fur, gloves, and a thermos with a plastic shell.

"What?" Viscount Darcy frowned and looked at the thermos, but he couldn't see what it was.

"These are the goods that the Westham people secretly sent into the South City to sell to the civilians during the war." Butler Ford couldn't help but beaming, first he picked up the denim jacket and showed Viscount Darcy the thick fabric, "This kind of canvas is like canvas." A suit of the same sturdy suit costs only twenty copper coins, and the commoners in the Nancheng District are going crazy for it, and our family's servants can't get it, and it took three times the price to get it from a drunkard."

Viscount Darcy was stunned at the time: "Twenty copper coins?? A set?!"

Butler Ford put down his clothes, and shook off the sheets in the four-piece suit as if offering a treasure: "There is also this kind of bedding, and a set is also twenty copper coins."

Hmm... It's a 15-yuan set and 18-yuan set in the parity hypermarkets in the 1688th-tier small cities. They are called pure cotton, but they are actually four-piece sets of synthetic fibers. The wholesale price of 10 is about [-] yuan...

Viscount Darcy couldn't help but took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to touch the bed sheet, felt the soft touch of his fingertips, His Excellency the Viscount couldn't help asking the same soul torture as the civilians in Nancheng District: "Damn it, where did Westem get so many cheap goods?" ?! At this price, wouldn’t Rex lose all his wealth??”

The Ford butler put down the bed sheet, held the fluffy scarf in one hand, the fluffy scarf in the other hand, and the fluffy gloves that feel warm just by looking at it, and said excitedly: "This kind of scarf and gloves also cost ten copper coins. Women in Nancheng District Go crazy!"

Hmm... writing fur is actually a synthetic fiber scarf and gloves. The minimum unit price is 6 yuan, and the price can be as low as [-] yuan if you buy a lot; what else are fur doll bags, fur handbags, and fur doll pendants? Yang Qiu felt that the latter was not practical, so he didn't buy it.

Viscount Darcy grabbed the scarf and felt the touch, and his jaw dropped even more.

"This is the last one." Ford butler held up the plastic thermos that was slightly thinner than the large Coke bottle, and his breathing became a bit heavy. "This kind of double-layer thermos only costs [-] copper coins each!"

Viscount Darcy shook his hand, and the scarf fell to the ground.

Of course, this world also has thermal insulation technology. Most of the vacuum flasks used by middle-class and aristocratic families use silver-plated glass inner tanks. The price remains high, and the cheapest ones are also priced according to silver coins.

Yang Qiu bought the necessary thermos bottles (boiled water bottles) for winter home from Westerm directly at a local township enterprise in his hometown of G province without going through the Internet - not only the shell is beautiful, but also the high-end atmosphere The high-grade small and fresh painting, the price is also very reasonable, the ex-factory price is 10 yuan...and the shipping fee is included.

Viscount Darcy stared at the light green thermos bottle with fresh flowers printed on the bottle body and handles and handles in Ford's butler's hand, and looked up and down. The thermos bottle of the last carload sent to Wangcheng can earn several times the difference, and I can't help but feel as happy as the Ford butler.

"We need Rex's friendship!" Viscount Darcy said sonorously, "Where are those Westham people? We must protect them well, and we must not let the Bartleys' family kill them!"

Butler Ford knew his master very well, and he asked for credit with a smile on his face: "I have already asked all the servants in the house to keep an eye on those Westem people. If there is any trouble, they will go up to help."

"What's the use of servants, what's the use of—" Viscount Darcy said here, and suddenly remembered that most of his private soldiers had been lost outside the city gate, and only a hundred of them fled back in desperation. His heart throbbed with pain. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Send those useless things!"

Ford's butler knew that this was his master's foot pain again, so he responded with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye.

Because of the war outside the city, the mobile mill was not working, and John couldn't make money running errands today.

At noon, he went to the vacant warehouse on the edge of the mule and horse market to peek at the battle scene for a long time. When he returned home for lunch, John couldn't help but tell his family how brave and powerful the undead were outside, how brave and powerful the nobles in the city were. How the Chinese army is fighting.

John's mother knew that the eldest son was very close to the mill workers from Westham. This woman who was only in her early forties and looked as old as five or sixty did not dislike Wes because of the relationship between the dead. She is from Tem, but her years of life experience have taught this woman the importance of being cautious. She reminded her son as tactfully as possible: "Speak less, John, don't make your brother go over to watch the game too, that's really Too dangerous."

John nodded, and immediately said to his younger brother with a straight face: "Barry, did you hear what mother said, you are not allowed to go to the mule and horse market for a few days, otherwise all the candies in the family will belong to Jenny."

The little boy said unconvinced: "We didn't go there to play, brother, if you want to favor Jenny, just say so!"

Jenny is the youngest child in their family. Although she is skinny and not cute, she is really sensible: "Brother Barry, it's okay, I will give you half of the candy."

The little boy muttered, "I don't want your sympathy, you can eat it yourself."

John touched his brother's little head and said to his mother, "Mom, I want to go to the city this afternoon to see if I can find something to do."

"It's better not to go, it's not bad for two days." Mother persuaded, "Didn't the nobles in the city lose the battle? I heard your grandfather said before that when the nobles are angry, the people below Everyone will suffer, who knows if there will be chaos in the city?"

"I know, I won't go to crowded places." John said, "The gangsters in the city have disappeared for a while, and the tavern area is very easy to find work. I came back before there were more people."

The mother hesitated for a while, but after all, she considered that her son was already grown up and it was not good to control him too much, so she reluctantly nodded: "Then you have to be careful."

John responded with a smile.

After lunch, the little boy Barry ran to find his friends, his mother went to work in the laundry as usual, and John sent Jenny to his uncle's house in the same alley as usual.

The little boys in the slums can play freely, but the little girls are not allowed. When the adults are busy, they must send the girls at home to relatives and friends who are watched by adults, otherwise, they may not be able to find their own. It's a girl—there are too many men living here who have never been able to find a wife. These men can do anything when they have evil thoughts.

After setting up his sister, John called Sanji, Tommy and Bobby, and the four young people walked towards the south gate together, talking and laughing.

Yes, Inadoli is about to undergo drastic changes, and the lord who lives in the city lord's mansion in the central city is about to change, but what does this have to do with them?

They don't know what the lord looks like, they have never entered the gate of the city hall, and they have not even entered the Midtown - let alone the Midtown, they can't get in to some neighborhoods, the big and thick patrolling city police Poor people like them will not be allowed to live near good people's homes, and no one will be responsible if they lose something.

Nancheng District is not much different from usual, except that the men who have time to sit and chat in roadside taverns in broad daylight have changed from the women on the street to the future of Inadoli. Worrying about whether the cups the old men drink from will change from gold cups to silver cups.

John kept the agreement with his mother, and after explaining the situation to his friends, the four of them did not go to crowded places, and detoured from the alley to the tavern area of ​​St. Joseph Avenue familiarly.

Walking out of the winding and narrow alleys and walking to the south section of St. Joseph Avenue, the four of John realized that something was wrong.

On the sidewalk, there are many city superintendents!

Those who are looking for work on the street are most afraid of seeing the city police. The four of them instinctively wanted to retreat into the alley... Unfortunately, it was too late.

The city police who accidentally discovered these four young people surrounded them happily, and arrested them without any explanation.

"Wait a minute sir, we're just—ah!"

It was not the first time that John was troubled by the city superintendent. He wanted to argue a few words but was grabbed by the hair and fell to the ground.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The superintendent of the city knew how to keep these people who looked like they came from outside the city to beg for food to be quiet. Their big leather boots kicked John's stomach and arms a few times, and the dirty young man curled up into a ball. up.
