Turn into Earl Lolita
Page 76
"Duke of Belize? Why do you talk about him like that? We were attacked by the Principality of Friedland this time, and we didn't see how much he helped. But he got a lot of salt."
"Miss, although the nobles of the Principality of Friedland did not directly help us this time, they did not directly fall to the Duke's side. This is already commendable enough. Besides, you didn't intend to let them completely fall to you at the beginning, right? Now that we have declared our strength to the empire, I believe they will know how to choose in the future."
Puffy mouth, although he doesn't like this duke, but he can sit in the duke's position, he also has his own skills, it's better to meet him.
"Apart from this duke, do I have any other plans today?"
"Miss, after you meet with the Duke of Belize today, you still need to meet some earls. Here is a list. After you have seen them all, you need to come back. We have to dress up and go to the imperial city. After your majesty knows that you have returned to the imperial capital, send Someone come over, there will be a family banquet in the imperial city tonight."
"Tonight, I thought I would wait for a few days, but that's okay, just to see how Uncle Emperor treats me now."
In front of the mirror, turn left and look right, seeing the cute little girl with white hair and red eyes, Shirley didn't know whether she should be happy or sad for a moment.
Orc Raiders: Chapter 2 Duke Morkdre (two chapters published together)
Coming out of the Belize Duke’s Mansion, I looked back at this magnificent mansion. This time it was really not in vain, and I gained a lot. I really echoed what Fuya said. There are no secrets between nobles, even the four The union between the dukes was made clear by the duke of Belize.
"Miss, I've gained a lot this time. With this information, I think we will have an advantage in the follow-up negotiations."
"Well, it's not enough. We can know their information, but those dukes must also think that we know their information. No one knows whether it was released by the other party to paralyze us."
Although she knew the information, Shirley was not as optimistic as she imagined. There is a cloud in the art of war, and the false information is true, and the real is false. It is not uncommon to release false information to confuse the enemy.She wasn't so stupid as to simply believe the information given by Belize.
"Well, our goal is not to get more benefits in the negotiation. If you can't get it on the battlefield, if you expect to get it outside the battlefield, it's better to take a nap. Dreams have everything."
The hot sun shone on the earth, and the summer in the imperial capital was not cool. Fuya didn't ask the driver to return to their mansion immediately after getting into the carriage. Instead, she asked the driver to take them to the business district first.
"Aren't we going back? It's too hot to go shopping."
"Now is the time to make ice. There are quite a few cold drinks in the imperial capital that are suitable for drinking now, but after making them, you need to drink them immediately, otherwise they will soon become room temperature."
"Eh? Are we going to buy cold drinks now?" Shirley was excited. Although the northern border is developing, in some respects, the imperial capital with a strong foundation is richer.
The merchants on both sides of the road did not leave because of the hot weather. Through the car window, Shirley could see that the merchants outside were holding water bags to drink water, some were selling goods to customers, and some were setting up their stalls here and next door. Chatting with friends, the whole commercial street is very lively.
Because the logo of the nobility was hung, the people living in the imperial capital naturally gave way to the carriage when they saw the carriage approaching.The proficiency makes one have to suspect that these movements have already penetrated into their bones.
The car stopped at a cold drink entrance, and Fuya who got off the car returned quickly. Seeing the people still queuing inside, Shirley was a little curious. Fuya didn't speak, but just pointed to the sign on the carriage.
Is it the privilege of the nobles again? Even if they go inside to jump in line, those people dare not say anything more.I don't know why, but the cold drink in my mouth is not as delicious as I imagined.
Fuya saw that her lady's face was not good, and when she was about to speak, the carriage that had just started stopped suddenly. Fuya, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, stretched out her hand to block the lady who was leaning forward, but she hit the wall of the carriage.
"what happened."
Hurrying to help Fuya up, Shirley, who was already in a bad mood, encountered this kind of thing again, and her tone became even more bad.
"Miss, there is a car passing by in front, it is the carriage of Duke Mokdre's mansion."
"Duke Mokdre?" Tilting her head, Shirley had no idea which Duke this was, or in other words, so far, she only remembered one Duke of Stugalbo.
Fuya was lifted up by Shirley and sat back on the car seat. Seeing her lady's confused look, she knew that she must have not paid attention to the names of the four dukes before.
"Miss, the Duke of Mokdre is the lord of the Principality of Morad in the west. He has guarded the western part of the empire for generations and has an extremely powerful navy and army."
"Ah? With a powerful navy and army, is it stronger than Li Huamei's navy?"
What do you mean by that smirk? Is Li Huamei’s navy comparable to them? The warships of the Mollard navy are all made of wood, while yours are all made of steel, not to mention the bed crossbow on the warship, which can’t shoot through Li Huamei at all. The outer skin of those ironclad ships under it.
"Looking at you like this, it's not as powerful as Li Huamei's battleship. That's so powerful."
The bored puckered mouth and disgusted look made Fuya feel that her lady's standards are getting more and more outrageous. Using her army to measure the strength of other territories is not bullying.
She has been by Shirley's side from the very beginning, but she knows how exaggerated her young lady's army is.It is simply an invincible existence, no matter how many enemies there are, what are called "bullets" fired by the weapons in the hands of the soldiers can overturn the enemies.
There are also weapons called cannons by the lady, which are even more terrifying than magicians. Magicians need to rest after using magic, and those cannons can fire continuously.Even if there is a rest time in the middle, but on the battlefield, the attack frequency is several times higher than that of magicians.
"The one in front is Earl Shirley."
Not to mention Fuya's complaints about her daughter, there was already a voice full of vicissitudes from outside the car.
Looking through the window, a middle-aged man with a slightly fat face was standing outside the car in a gorgeous noble robe, as if waiting for them.
"This is the Duke of Morkdre, I never expected to meet him here."
Knowing that her young lady didn't know this duke, Fuya hurriedly said that she had met this duke once when she was in the imperial capital, but as a maid, meeting such an extremely important person is enough for her to remember up.
"Meet? I'm afraid the duke has been waiting for us for a long time."
Pushing open the car door, Shirley jumped out of the car first, without making any sound when she landed lightly.It also attracted a burst of applause from the Duke opposite.
"It is said that Earl Shirley does his own thing and acts quite freely. Now it seems that it is true."
"Hey, you're saying that I don't have any aristocratic demeanor in my actions, I don't look like a nobleman at all."
Although her tone was calm and her words were smiling, Shirley didn't think he had any affection for her. Since she was already waiting for her here, he must have something else to say.
"Earl Shirley seems to have misunderstood you. The main reason for inviting you to the imperial capital this time is to restore peace to the northern border. The crisis of the northern orcs going south is imminent. Let's sit down and talk with each other, and don't let outsiders pick up peaches." , isn't it?"
Shrugging, the orcs from the north are going south, let's talk about the matter of their own territory first, Shirley remembers very clearly, when she came to the imperial capital, Li Huamei was already fully prepared to go north, Tachibana Chiyo and Qin Liangyu The general has even expanded his troops with the newly obtained gold coins, and can carry out the Northern Expedition against the orcs at any time.What if she still wants to go to her territory to do things like in previous years?I'm afraid it will be even worse.
"It doesn't matter whether you misunderstood or not. Presumably the Duke stopped me here, not just for the simple explanation."
"Haha, Ms. Shirley speaks quickly, which makes people really like it. Yes, I am here waiting for Ms. Shirley to discuss something. I wonder if Ms. Shirley is willing to give her face."
"Huh? Meet with your opponent in private before the negotiation. Don't you worry that your allies will have doubts about your actions?"
With arms folded, he was full of sarcasm for the sudden arrival of the duke, and he secretly came to see him before negotiating, and it was still in public, emmmmm.Is it still a secret meeting to meet myself in public? It seems that something is wrong.
Shirley's words provoked the Duke to laugh out loud, and then he patted his chest gracefully, before saying to Shirley: "Meet secretly, allies are suspicious, believe me, they will meet you soon, I just leave Just in front of them."
"Oh? It seems that the Duke of Stugalbo in the north is about to cry."
"The issue of the Duke of Stugalbo, we will naturally fight for him at the negotiating table. Now, what we are fighting for is only our own interests."
Hearing what the other party said, Xue Li couldn't tell what he was going to say for a while, so she could only signal the other party to continue, but after the duke tidied up his clothes, he didn't get straight to the point, and instead said, "Miss Xue Li, you Wouldn't want us talking about those things in a place like this."
Slightly stunned, he looked around at the big circle formed by the two nobles. Everyone was looking at them. Even though they didn't dare to get too close, this was indeed not a place to discuss matters.
"Not far ahead is a hotel I invested in. It has been emptied today, and no one will disturb us. Look at it."
"Since the Duke already has a place, I'll go there with you."
Raising her hand, Fuya didn't let Fuya stop her. She knew that she would be worried about herself, but the Duke dared to invite her in full view, and took her away in public.He must not dare to use those dirty methods.
Walking back for hundreds of steps, I saw a hotel with very luxurious decoration. It was said to be a hotel, but it always gave people a feeling similar to a love hotel, especially the paint on the exterior wall of the fine decoration, which was even more so. kind of feeling.
"The banquet has been prepared inside, please invite inside, we will have a delicious lunch while talking about our affairs."
Looking at the well-decorated walls outside, Shirley hesitated for a moment before walking in with Fuya and the two Valkyries.
Looking at the furnishings and decoration inside, sure enough, this is a love hotel, but is it really useful to have such a hotel in this kind of place?
"Miss Shirley is probably still very unfamiliar with this place. It mainly serves some nobles and noble women."
"My lord duke, my lady is still young, please don't tell her those nonsense things."
Fuya, who couldn't help it, finally spoke out what she was holding back in her heart. Can I not tell my lady about the messy things in the aristocratic circle, so as not to pollute her ears.
"Fuya, this is something that has always happened within the nobles, and Shirley will know about it in the future, well, it's not an important thing, let's talk about the business first."
"This is the blood ganoderma from the southern blood empire. It has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing the skin. I ordered the kitchen to transport it from the south. It is still fresh. After frying it in hot oil, it tastes very good. You can try it."
"Miss..."
Shirley, who was seated, raised her hand to block Fuya's words, and turned her eyes to Duke Mokdre who was looking at her with a smile.
"I don't think the Duke of Morkdre would poison a little girl like me."
"Miss Shirley was joking. Since it's talking about something, I'm going to poison you without talking about it. I can't do such a dirty thing."
Although she was still full of doubts, since her young lady chose to trust the other party, she would not refute her at this time, but raised her vigilance to the highest level.
"I have always been aware of the development of Aalborg. You have opened many textile and salt workshops there, but in terms of sales, I am afraid it can only be supplied to the royal family and you, as well as those in the north. The territory of the lord with a relatively peaceful relationship, for other places, I am afraid that it cannot be completely penetrated. Isn't it."
"Oh? You mean, you want to help me sell my products to other territories? Or, to more regions?"
A very interested look, of course, she is really interested, who would be disgusted with the cute little money.
"Naturally, I hope to obtain the distribution rights of the products in your territory. Of course, the refined salt that has been distributed is not included. We hope to sell the others, including the canned food."
"Impossible, among other things, it is impossible for you to eat all the production capacity. I can give you a part of the share, but how much you can sell depends on your own."
What's the use of canned food?Many nobles may not have noticed it, but he saw it clearly. What is the biggest problem in the war, logistics, and after the appearance of canned food, the troops on the front line can have better food, which can ensure the soldiers' health. Morale can also relieve the pressure on logistics.
As a strategic reserve, it is not very good, and selling to some warring lords, there is a lot of room for fluctuation in price. The most important thing is that these cans are very important for some of his future actions.
"It seems that the output of this can is so large that you think that I, the Duke, can't eat it alone?"
"Naturally, not only canned meat, but also various canned fruits. Those are very useful necessities for navigation. I think your navy also needs them very much."
After thinking for a while, Duke Mokdre nodded lightly, "Indeed, if I can't eat it myself, it's possible, but since I'm the first nobleman to make a request, can I give us more?"
You can leave most of it as a strategic reserve grain, and sell the rich part to other lords for return. Although you may not make money, it is also excellent to reduce certain losses, especially in some warring states in the west. Lord, presumably they also need this food to alleviate the morale problem of the frontline soldiers.
Not only canned food, but also a lot of supplies, which can be sold in Shirley's territory. The Duke of Mokdre showed a very strong interest. After a meal, he ate for at least two hours, but nothing happened. It's all over.
"Miss Shirley, I already know your requirements. During the negotiation, I will naturally strive for these for you. However, please follow-up supply and supply according to the requirements. I hope that the relationship between us will be like a rock." ,unbreakable."
Although there are many things that have not been discussed yet, the meal is over, and if the discussion continues, there will be no better results. When Mokdre bid farewell to Shirley, he still tried his best to have a good relationship with her.After all, she in the north would not have any direct conflict with him.As for the Duke of Stugalbo.That was his own problem.
Orc Raiders: Chapter 3 Battle of the North Sea (two chapters published together)
After coming out of the restaurant, it was already afternoon, lying on the sofa in the carriage, with her head resting on Fuya's soft thighs, Shirley was taking today's afternoon nap beautifully.
It was precisely because my young lady rested again that the coachman did not dare to increase the speed of the carriage too fast. This carriage, carrying one of the highest combat forces in the empire, was walking towards the mansion at an extremely slow but extremely steady speed.
Fuya looked at her young lady's cute sleeping face, wondering what she was eating in a dream, her pink lips squirmed a few times, and made a baji baji sound by the way.
After covering her with the blanket on the carriage, Fuya also focused on the surroundings of the carriage, observing those places that might be dangerous.
All the way back to the gate of the mansion without incident, the slight vibration when the carriage stopped caused the sleeping Xueli to open her eyes, her sore eyes were rubbed by her white and tender fingers, and she gave a big hatch without any image.
Fuya took out the handkerchief amusedly, and wiped away the crystals that were dripping from the corners of the eyes from the girl's yawn.
"Well... I got home so soon, I need to go back to sleep for a while."
"Miss, I won't be able to sleep when I go back. Tonight, His Majesty will hold a banquet specially for you, and you need to attend it."
"Ah, it's a banquet again, can you not go? It's too annoying to wear a dress, and you have to make up, and you have to do so many etiquettes. There is a table of delicious food, but because of etiquette, you can only eat what is in front of you. It's so excruciating."
As for the banquet of the nobles, Shirley said that she didn't want to go to it even once. That kind of pure ball is better, but if you eat with your stomach open, it will attract other people's comments. You can't send troops to arrest people just because they are whispering It's gone.
That would make you almost become a big devil, and besides, you are so sure that the other party is talking about you?There is no evidence, if you send troops just because you don't feel comfortable listening, won't you become a more brutal ruler than a certain moustache?
"Miss, this is a family feast, you will be a little more free."
"You also know that it's a little bit more free, so it's better to eat the food you cooked for me at home. Anyway, it's better than many noble chefs."
With a pursed mouth, it is obvious that you can have a good dinner at home, but you have to go outside to suffer, it is disgusting.
After Shirley praised her cooking skills, Fuya never stopped smiling. She took Shirley back to the mansion, and after explaining the work of the maids in the mansion, she also began to prepare carefully for Xue Li to participate in the dinner tonight. Party dresses and cosmetics.
Unlike Shirley, who was enjoying peace in the imperial capital, the northern border at this time was full of the dullness of war. A large number of warships entered and left the port. General Qin and Chiyo Tachibana even ordered their troops to board the ship as soon as possible.
On the blue ocean, Li Huamei looked coldly at the orc warships that had begun to gather in the distance. Among the warships in this world, they were already considered huge warships, but in the eyes of her dreadnought-class warships, they were all a group of brothers .
The giant cannon on the battleship can knock down an enemy's wooden ship with one shot. As for the gang fights she was used to, well, let's not talk about whether she can jump up, you can see if she bumps into it after getting close Break these little wooden boats.
At this time, the goblins were the builders of the battleship, but they were not on the battleship, but at a distant harbor, watching from a distance.
"My lord, let's just watch like this, don't you want to join the war?"
The lizard people have always followed the goblins, a race that has nothing but strength, and a race that has only IQ but lacks strength. The two sides have always been complementary.The goblins have never cheated the lizardmen, and the lizardmen have always obeyed the goblins.Just like this time, when the goblins said they would not participate in the war, they would not leave the boat, not even a single fishing boat.
"Fight? What do you use to fight? Look at the other party's warship, what kind of warship are we, fight? Say P, oh, don't use foul language, that Li Huamei, who is called Sea Rose, doesn't know where he got the warship , At the beginning, there was still a little possibility of resistance, now, have you seen those warships, they can smash our warships."
It's very annoying, really annoying, the goblins have been developing warships for so long, they can carry bed crossbows, trebuchets, and they can compete with the elves' navy, and it turns out that only a hundred years have passed before they encountered these monsters .
"But, if we lose, will they invade us? I'm worried..."
"What are you worried about? How many people are there on the other side? How big is our territory? Even if we give them all the territory to the south, do you see how many troops they have come to occupy?"
Besides, what is the use of a strong navy? Once the enemy occupies the land, they need the army to defend. They must not withdraw obediently to the sea, so the goblins don't worry that they will go deep into the land to attack the various tribes.
