General Anne was walking with more than a hundred people she had just kidnapped on the edge of the somewhat desolate territory of Kalliad City. This place could actually be regarded as Negan's territory, because after the collapse of the Kingdom of Erathia and the sudden death of the king, After that, Negan's hell lords had actually occupied this place and began an extremely bloody enslavement rule for the people of Erathia. If a certain former princess, Queen Catherine, came back for a few months, it is estimated that this place would be Negan's rule will definitely be deepened, and by then, I'm afraid there won't be many living people left.
Although Anne's military strength has increased greatly, the voices in her team are not very harmonious, isn't it? Some guys who had just 'joined' had the nerve to ask her, a wizard who was not a boss at all, but a company manager at best, to ask for a salary advance?
So, of course, she had a righteous lesson with a bearded crusader who had lost his helmet.
"money?"
=???????(??????*)
"What money? Don't talk about money with others, they don't even have any money themselves! I'm telling you, it's your honor to contribute to the continent of Erathia and fight for the kingdom of Erathia. You should feel honored, you should feel Proud, you should use love to generate electricity, why talk about money, how vulgar is that?!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
(…)
(lll￢??￢)
"Anyway, I don't have money. If you want money, you can go find that big sister Catherine yourself! That hot queen, your princess of Erathia, she has a lot of money!"
o(｀^??)oHmph!
What a joke, these guys actually asked Queen Anne for money. Where did she get the money? You know, even she herself is a part-time worker. Even she only received two and a half days' salary in advance, and she is still owed the rest. Who does she go to for reasoning?
'grown ups! '
'But according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Erathia in the past, military pay was distributed before preparing for war...'
The unlucky unlucky Crusader leader would definitely not understand the idea of using love to generate electricity, but he only knew that the horses had to eat grass and they also had to eat to feed themselves and their families who were not sure whether they were dead or not in the war-torn environment. People... So, if possible, they still hope that this adult can give them a few gold coins each, so that they can have a little money in their pockets, and then they can have some confidence in their hearts when fighting, right?
"What tradition? Erathia has been destroyed. Where is the tradition now? Everything is done according to new rules!!"
s (????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
"In short, the objection is futile! The money is owed first, and then you go to Queen Catherine to get it! Before that, whoever dares to say no or complain about the strike will be burned and buried!!"
??(ψ????╭╮ˇ????)????
'! ! '
'This this……'
'Alas~! Head, stop talking, just leave it like this! '
'Come back quickly! '
'How is this possible? ! '
'...'
Although he was very reluctant, a certain crusader leader who represented those down-and-out soldiers was "persuaded" by the magic of an arrogant little girl, and was dragged back by his men.
'Report, report! '
'Lord Wizard! I found a magic palace hidden in the woods, not far from here, and there seemed to be several monks and monks inside managing it! '
Soon, a spearman ran back from the front, and the other party excitedly said to their little commander.
"Magic Palace? Are there any monks in there?"
(??????.??????)????????
"Then they must have something to eat. Hurry up and knock on the door and let them join us unconditionally! And their supplies will also be collected unconditionally, in the name of the Kingdom of Erathia!"
??(????????)??
After a long day of tossing, Anne already knew that leading an army was more than just fighting and marching, especially such a troublesome living army, because they had to eat, drink, and litter! So, with all kinds of troublesome things going on, all she could think about now was expanding the army and finding things to feed these hateful guys!
Therefore, now that she had discovered a magic palace, she immediately started recruiting men and collecting food without even thinking about it.
'Lord Wizard! '
'That is a sacred magic palace, would it be more appropriate for you to go there in person? '
To put it bluntly, these Erathian soldiers who are afraid of magic don't dare to knock on the door and give orders that will definitely be rejected, let alone ask the monks or the monks inside to join them unconditionally. .
"Really, someone is here, what are you afraid of?"
s(??｀ヘ????;)ゞ
With no other choice, Anne had no choice but to pat her horse and let the other party lead the way. She led her lackey soldiers around a dense forest, and then she found a large house hidden in the dense forest.
After walking in from the beautifully maintained courtyard, Anne dismounted and slammed the door of the house with only an independent main hall that was indeed dissipating a little bit of magic energy.
"It's open!"
(?????????)??????Boom! Boom!
'? ? '
'who are you? ! '
A vigilant voice came from inside and a pair of frightened eyes appeared from the observation hole on the door.
Obviously, for this small magic temple, especially in this chaotic environment where the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, it is surrounded by a group of rebels, even if they are the kind of magic monks and monks. I will be a little worried.
"My name is Annie, and she is an arcane mage!"
o(??????????) o??
"Those at the back are their soldiers. We are all from the Kingdom of Erathia. We are now ordered by Queen Catherine to sweep and investigate this area. Come out quickly. They are now announcing: You and your temple They have all been requisitioned unconditionally, come with us to fight against those Negans!!"
??(??????~????)o
The other person didn't even open the door, so Anne rudely said something that would definitely offend or irritate the other person.
'...'
'Feel sorry! '
'No matter who you are, or whether you are Erathia's army or not, you are not welcome in our sacred temple. Go away and don't force us to take action! '
Bang!
Suddenly, the observation hole on the door was slammed shut, and then, a cold voice came from inside.
No one would believe that a little girl could be an arcane archmage, and no one would believe that a group of ragged soldiers would actually be under the orders of a certain queen of the Kingdom of Erathia as the little girl said. , so the reaction of the monks in the Magic Temple was natural.
"??"
(??????.??????)????????
"Don't let people in?!"
=??????=?????????(?????????????)
"Come here! Break open this broken door for me. I want to see what they dare to do!!"
??(ψ｀╭╮′)??
'! ! '
'My lord, is this too bad? '
"People are here to support you, what are you afraid of?!"
??(ψ｀╭╮′)????
'...'
'yes! ! '
Soon, under the command and surveillance of a certain bad little girl and the threat of force, a group of soldiers in tattered clothes who looked like wolves and tigers and seemed to be very good at doing these things broke open the door and rushed in.
'What are you doing? '
'No! ! '
'Cut the nonsense! Catch them! '
'Whoever dares to resist will be shot to death! ! '
'you……'
'...'
There were bursts of noisy sounds. When the soldiers poured in, the noise inside soon stopped.
"Bring out all the people and things inside!"
??(ψ｀▽′)o
Soon, the excited soldiers found two miserable monks, a lot of food, and a magic book that was forcibly torn from a certain position and even the cover was torn. .
??Ding~!
??You have obtained the 'Airbending Magic'. After learning it, you can consume a certain amount of magic power to allow you and your troops to fly over obstacles or cliffs.
??Note: The more troops you have and the farther the distance, the more magic power is consumed.
"Monk?"
(??????)?
"You are a high-ranking priest, right? Very good. It is now announced that you and your companions have been unconditionally recruited by the army of the Holy Kingdom of Erathia! Follow us to fight against the enemies and quell the chaos in this land. !”
ψ(??｀▽′)????
"you!"
"snort!!"
"No! We need to take care of this sacred magic palace. We are not going anywhere..."
??
Whoosh~!
boom! ! !
The monk didn't even finish his words when he saw the scary little girl using a fire blast to throw a fireball into his almost empty magic hall. Then, they were in the courtyard. , he could only watch helplessly with the sound of an explosion, and his magic palace that had been passed down for hundreds of years ignited a fire that soared into the sky...
"alright!"
(????????-)??
"Now that your magic palace is gone, can we leave now?"
ψ(??｀▽′)????
Squinting her eyes, Anne looked at a certain high-level priest who was still being held by the soldiers and did not dare to resist with some evil intentions. Her meaning was actually very obvious. If the other party dared to say anything next Words, she must be burning or burying!
"..."
"No, no problem..."
"Dear Witch, we are willing to follow you and fight under the banner of the griffin of the sacred Kingdom of Erathia..."
A good magic palace will explode at any time. What else can you do if you don't give in?
For the two monks in front of them who only knew the air-bending flying magic and first-level magic arrows, facing such a terrifying little witch who also claimed to be the Archmage and those soldiers who were like wolves and tigers , what else can they do?
"Don't worry!"
(灬??ω??灬)
"When those Negans are driven away, we in the Kingdom of Erathia will definitely help you build a bigger and higher magic palace here!!"
??(??˙︶˙??)??
Anyway, she didn’t have to execute it herself, and it wasn’t her own money she spent, so Annie once again issued a short-term invoice without any courtesy at all.
'! ! '
'Are you sure? ! '
As soon as Anne's words came out, the two monks, who were still looking reluctant and angry because their homes were destroyed, their belongings were robbed, and they were forced to be young, became extremely sad and angry. The desperate eyes finally had a little light.
"Of course!"
o(*??︶??*)o
"Anyway, you can just look for Queen Catherine when the time comes. She is still the daughter of your King Griffin! By the way, there is also your double salary. Just remember it now, and just look for it when the time comes. She can just take the money!”
(??????????)hey-hey!
Anyway, she didn’t pay for it herself, and she didn’t have to clean up the mess by herself anyway, so little Annie gave out dozens of promises and bad checks without hesitation. After all, this Elasia didn’t belong to her family. When she earned enough She ran away with the commission, and how was Catherine going to clean up the mess left behind? Would she be able to take care of it?
(…)
ε=(????｀●)))Alas
'Report! ! '
After successfully recruiting two monks who knew a little bit of magic, making them cry and beg to join her team, and donating all their property for free, Anne didn't wait for where to go next. , another spearman who was sent out to investigate the situation ran to her panting again.
"what happened again?"
∑(??△｀)? !
'Report to the witch! '
'To the west, there is a lumberyard only two or three miles away from here. There are many Erathian lumberjacks inside. However, they seem to be guarded by a group of devil monsters from Negan and ordered to log wood? '
'Master Wizard, do we need to rescue them? '
The visitor said excitedly, but he was a little strange. He didn't know why the stone building in the courtyard behind the crowd, which looked like a magic palace, suddenly ignited such a terrible fire?
'Rescue them? what is the benefit? '
(????ω????)
Annie was here to detect the situation and wait for opportunities to teach the Negans a lesson, so she was not too interested in rescuing trapped workers in the lumberyard.
'Well……'
'Master Witch, you can at least stop them from providing wood to Negan, and you can also rescue those workers. This is our task, isn't it? '
Wood is still a very important strategic resource for people in this era, because whether it is building houses, equipment, weapons, bows and arrows, etc., they are inseparable from those things, and that is why Negan's The main reason why those hell lords would send those demons to guard those places.
"All right!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and lead the way. Let's defeat those bad guys now! Steal their things, and then let those lumberjacks join our team!!"
??*????(ˊ??ˋ*)????*??
The Negan forces from hell must be attacked, but at the same time, her own power must also be expanded, so of course, Annie took the idea of those lumberjacks again.
As for whether the lumberjacks were willing or not, she didn't care at all!
You know, she is fighting for the Holy Kingdom of Erathia now, working hard for the order of Queen Catherine, and fighting to regain the Holy Continent of Erathia. Therefore, those NPCs should be more aware. , join her in this sacred cause unconditionally!
Of course, not only the people of Erathia, but also any inhuman creature that can fight that lives on this land! Moreover, she also firmly believes that her diplomacy (magic) is enough to persuade those inhuman creatures to join! If not, it must be because they belong to Negan's side. When the time comes, she will just beat and burn the other party to death and then take away their belongings.
