The Devil's Escape Diary

Anna looked at Seuss: "His Royal Highness, are you going to see it?"

Seuss shrugged: "It doesn't matter."

ps: I went out today...then my hands seem to be frostbite...it's all red...I will try to code another chapter.

Chapter 686: I want to be together (four more)

Before going to bed at night, Hughes seemed to have to come to the system space to listen to Carlisle's report on the situation of Winter's City.

But this time it was a bit unexpected. In the past, Carlisle did this by himself, but this time, Phines was actually with him.

Seeing this, Hughes frowned after he went online: "What's wrong? Is there any accident in Winter Lincheng?"

Phines smiled slightly: "Winter Lincheng has no surprises for the time being, let me talk about it first, mainly because Master Carlisle has to report to you alone in some cases."

Hughes nodded.

"First of all, the situation of Donglincheng's population." Fei Nisi looked straight and started her work: "In the past two months, the population of Donglincheng has stabilized and the population has increased by about two thousand, and the daily flow is five thousand."

Seuss was taken aback: "So much flow?"

Hughes is not a big city, with a total population of just over 10,000. Even with the subsequent expansion of enrollment, the current population is around 18,000.

At this time, the flow actually reached one-third all of a sudden?

In this era, limited by traffic, one-third of the flow of indigenous people is not a small number.

"Half of it was brought by the Jericho Chamber of Commerce." Phines explained: "A month ago, the Jericho Chamber of Commerce formally established a branch in Winterin City, and many goods must be shipped to Winterin City first. For distribution, this brings a large population. But... there are also some hidden dangers."

"Is that over the Rhine?" Hughes asked.

Phines nodded: "The south bank of the Rhine River is a bit dissatisfied with the situation where we stopped the Jericho Chamber of Commerce, but fortunately, it is only Jericho now. The loss is not too great for them, but... In the future, as your Royal Highness your dream world is selling well, Winter's Landing City will only attract more people. At that time... the two cities on the South Bank will probably not be so peaceful."

Hugh snorted: "Are we still afraid that they won't succeed?"

"Fear." What surprised Seuss was that his meaning was obvious, a prince, a duke, what dare to do over there?As a result, Phines actually said she was afraid?

Just listen to Phines’s side but said: “What they dare not do on the bright side does not mean that they dare not do it in private, or even if they follow the rules. After all, Winter’s City is in the northernmost part of our clan and wants to go south and enter the demon. After all, Zufudi has to pass by their place. When the time comes, some of their cargo audits will be completed in one to three days, and they will be stuck for three days. Check and check more, and some goods that require time limits may have problems. This is very common. Means, even if they trouble them, they can use it as an excuse for the safety of the demons. There are even camel beasts admonishing, damage to the carriage, etc. as an excuse for not finding fault."

Hughes thought for a while, and slowly said, "This hasn't happened yet, hasn't it?"

Phines nodded: "Not yet, but... soon, and it is a very time-saving business route to go directly south from the Rhine River. By detouring the winter city, those chambers of commerce will also be too late on land. More time, one time, it may delay the chambers of commerce for more than half a month. In the beginning, the chambers of commerce may come to the city in winter due to some circumstances, but after a long time...they will probably continue to talk to the South Bank and the two cities. Cooperation. Even if we can solve the two cities on the South Bank, but... the merchants are chasing profits, they and we have nothing to do."

"You have a solution, right?" Hughes asked.

Phines nodded: "Yes, but it needs capital mobilization and manpower mobilization, maybe even... the power of the elves."

"Digging a canal?" Hughes asked.

"That's right." Phines laughed: "Digging through the canal can greatly reduce the cost of land transportation, but the moat of Winterlin City runs east-west, parallel to the Rhine, so if we want to dig, we start from scratch."

"How long is it expected to take?" Hughes asked.

"According to the current personnel in Winter's Landing City... it will take at least one or two years." Phines said: "If there is an elf wizard, it will be faster. Of course, this will send all the crypt dwarves. , Maybe... if the bandit team can bring back more coolies... it will be faster."

Seuss nodded, Phines was almost as he thought.This is also the point that Seus admired the daughter of the duke very much.After all, Seuss’ thoughts are not the thoughts of this world. Although the things in his head are not his own, they are the “advanced thoughts” left by the industrial society.Phines is limited by the times, and it is very rare to be able to think about it in many cases.

Hughes slowly said: "What's the situation with the east side of the city defense?"

"The city defense army is now divided into two parts, the east and the west." Phines said: "The east is responsible for the city defense in the winter. There are five hundred demons. The walls, gates, and halflings into the mountains are all in the east. The west is responsible for the suppression of bandits. , Also five hundred demons. In the city, there are three hundred policemen and twenty special police teams."

Hughes touched his chin. In two months, about a hundred people were added to the city defense army and police station.It's pretty good.

"Now the construction of Donglin City is a bit tight, but the personnel are mixed." Fei Nisi said: "Many times the security requires special police to be dispatched, and even the elves help. If you dig a canal...you must mobilize the city defense army or the police. So. ...We are now in a deadlock. To dig the canal requires population and mobilize the population. If you don’t want to be empty, you will need the suppression team to withdraw. But the population of the suppression team will grow slowly when they come back. In fact, adapt to winter. The fastest thing in Lincheng is not the foreign demons, but the natives of the Shahua Highlands brought back by the suppression team."

"It seems we need a high-quality population." Hugh squinted his eyes and said, "Fenice, you have said so much. You are fighting forty people, right?"

Phines laughed: "Sure enough, Your Highness can't hide anything. According to the news, there are about 8,000 members of the forty members, of which there are more than 2,000 crypt dwarves, and the rest are also big waists. Coolie, this is a big piece of fat. If we can eat it, many problems will be solved."

Husseus hummed: "If there is such a short answer as you said, you should have done it early and asked me why? What's the trouble?"

"There are about ten of the forty high-level people, and the remaining 30-odd core characters are mainly middle-level people. These forty guys are not short of money at all, plus they are crowded, so... It is very difficult for us to fight down. It is estimated that all the city defense forces... and the point is that they seem to have a lot of relationship with Frost Fortress."

"So you want me to come forward?" Hughes asked.

"Only Your Highness has such a face."

"I understand." Hughes nodded and said directly: "The construction of Winter's Edge City can't be stopped, Carlisle, you take the castle guards and the Three Hundred City Defense Forces in action. Go and talk to the old man in the Frost Fortress. Insects talked about it and said that this group of people is coming to the city in Winter. We don’t have iron ore veins...the iron ore veins are still theirs. Then...you know what to do, right?"

"Understood." Carlisle nodded: "But your Highness, I have one more thing to say."

Carlisle spoke on this side, and Phines stroked her chest and said, "Then I will go first."

With that said, this feather demon went offline directly.

ps: Fourth!Thanks to Duke Banana for the four bars of soap...

ps: It's cold today, and the power consumption of the mobile phone is terrible...

Then, today, blade 274, monthly ticket 104, reward 6052 (60) owed 3 to 2, total owed 6.

Originally, I just soaked in hot water with my hands, but in the end I resisted it... After drinking a lot of hot water, thinking that my fingers would be OK, the back of my hand was a bit strange... Um... I don’t know. How to describe a feeling.Is the skin hot and cold inside or the skin inside is cold? Anyway...

Chapter 687: It’s Time to Improve

"I already know the news."

After listening to Carlisle’s concerns, Hughes asked quite differently: "How did you know about Carlisle?"

"Your Majesty said it." Carlisle was still a little worried: "His Royal Highness, I think it's safer for me in the past."

Hughes shook his head: "The situation in Winterin City needs you more. You have always been in charge of the things in the dream world. You run to the human side, what should you do in Winterin City? If you really want to help me, just tell Why am I suddenly interested in the Holy See, or, look up Cher's life experience."

Speaking of this, Hughes suddenly said: "By the way, remember to protect Xue'er. The first demons can come to the human side to find me. I suspect that they will sneak into Winter Lincheng to find Xue'er's trouble. "

"Your Highness can rest assured." Carlisle was still a little unwilling: "Your Highness, are you...really okay?"

"Am I the kind of person who loves to die?" Hughes was happy: "Don't worry, I must have no problem."

In the end, Hughes tried to persuade him for a long time, and finally he persuaded Carlisle to go back.

Husseus was not afraid of not only not afraid of death, but also that the First Demon didn't know his identity.

If it was Allen’s betrayed information, then... it would be useless if Carlisle came, so let’s read the file honestly.

After finishing things here, Hughes did not worry about going offline.

Carlisle's words reminded Seuss that there may be more difficult enemies to deal with next.
