“The soundtrack of the Ridge was broken and returned to spring in the winter. The neighborhood is even more frightened and afraid to ask anyone. ”

The further north I go, the closer I get to this familiar land, the more frightened I feel. Unfortunately, this worse and worse situation is in front of me and I can't even think about being a turtle with my head down.

Now that you're doomed to be unable to escape, let's face it.

At my request, the Arctic Light stops every time it reaches a town, and I come down for a walk to see what's going on.

It has taken more than two months for Ben to enter the Duchy of Donglan to travel to the capital for up to a week due to walking and stopping.

This is my usual style. It is also the administrative foundation of my professors Annie and Renee. Blind command over the hall will not solve the problem. To solve the problem, at least find out what the problem is first.

In this regard, waiting at home to report and witnessing for oneself is entirely two senses: “20 people starved to death” and “more than a dozen bodies frozen to death on the streets, witnessing the human tragedy of Eko", which are merely reports that the superior has forgotten, while the latter can keep a slightly more conscientious ruler awake at night.

But at this point, the more I investigate, the more depressed I am, the worse it is than I expected.

The worst estimate before has come true, and after the loss of the last mineral land, Donlan, who is financially bankrupt, has been in a stalemate for two decades.

And a year ago, the Northside Orc War shook Donglan's last roots, and after the war had wiped out the country's last resources, and even failed to buy enough winter food, the Duchy of Donglan had actually reached the brink of collapse.

As usual, this year's food harvest, coupled with the fact that the treasury is already poor without closing doors, is bound to result in a massive disaster. Fortunately, after a harsh harvest from the Orlando Empire, at least not many frozen corpses will appear this winter.

But even so, it is still painful to see the lives of the less demanding nationals, and it is hard to see them. Although I know that this is not a very effective cure, I will still help.

“Perhaps this will not change the fate of the country as a whole, but at least the fate of the people in front of it. ”

Along the way, fatherless, motherless and helpless orphans received more than thirty, and if that Ellie wasn't later adopted by warrior Kurul, I'm afraid I'd take her directly.

Of course, there are good, heartbreaking children like Ali. Naturally, there is no shortage of bully lords and evil businessmen who accumulate strange accumulations of bullies and bullies in traditional novels. There is no shortage of rich people like this.

In this situation, I will secretly write down that, in the future, I will find an opportunity to reckon. If I do too much, such as a lord using the fulfilment of the right of first night as a justification for extortion, and make an entire territory complain, I will not forget to fulfill the duties of an executioner. Of course, at this time, I would like to thank Renee for giving me the Royal Envoy proof.

“Great, the royal family has begun to clean up the evil nobles. ”

Since it is also a death sentence when brought before a fair trial bench, let the process in between be avoided for the sake of the oppressed sovereigns.

Even if I had been careful, such rumours would not have gone, but had somehow increased the royal authority and prestige.

But it is heartening that perhaps nobles who want to live a good life have fled to other countries, that perhaps the tradition of military division of territory in this martial arts country, perhaps too remote in the north, has not fully passed on the general luxury and erosion of human nobility, and that the vast majority of ancestral lords of civilian origin have not said the nonsense, "If there is no rice food, why do not they eat broth”, they have not yet escaped their natural earthy atmosphere and are fulfilling their basic duty to protect their people.

Well, in the words of Oran's “noble pureblood”, which has been passed down for centuries, the so-called aristocrats in the north are muscle-thinking savages who have not yet escaped their earthy peasantry.

But let me say that I prefer these farmers and savages over the so-called pureblood nobles obsessed with wine banquets, luxury goods, ecstasy, at least they have not forgotten their origins, at least they are more like pioneering lords of ancient times, protecting their people against savage beasts and famine.

When the royal family was in distress due to the prolonged war, most of the lords were still trying to support the country, there were not a few hard-working and loving people, and I had seen a lot of them disperse the family relief. Every time, I had to lament, when neither the people nor the lords gave up hope, at least it showed that the bones of the country were not rotten, and there was hope.

This is the best thing that makes me happy. There is a way to solve the external illness. If the bones are rotten, there is really no way to save them.

I've promised Little Ellie I'd change everything, but how to save it has become a big problem before me.

In this era of low national demand, there are two basic prerequisites for the stable development of a country: first, food supply, and secondly, social security, which are directly related to the most fundamental problems of survival. As for employment, commerce and education, those are the higher levels of demand.

The North has never been a grain-producing land, but mineral resources are indeed abundant. The exchange of minerals for food and household goods has been a historical habit for thousands of years. The same land, while the former Land of Lan has stood in the North. Today, the Principality of Dong Lan has been losing its land and is nearly collapsing. This cannot be blamed on the incompetence of future generations of kings. In fact, it is only one reason.

“The strong are the strong, the weak are the weak. What a weak country.”

A little bit of comparison tells us where the problem originated.

How prestigious the land of Lan was, although it was a small country, it was not a weak country, folk style martial arts, a variety of three ranks combined high and low, the lowest four ranks of extreme light knights are famous throughout the human world, the Royal Knights below seven Ace Knights, randomly dispatched two enough to sweep the north.

In that year, the Land of the Strong Wars was the northern objector and elf of the entire human world, the eastern seal of the Devil's Abyss, and the abundance of mineral wealth. Don't say that the “food throat” of the Land of the Lan is threatened. Not many people come to trade each year on their own initiative.

Today, however, the Duchy of Donglan is equal to the rise after the demise of the country. Most of the strong army has been lost, mineral-rich territory has been occupied by other countries, together with historical resentment, so many enemies, internal and external worries, the weaker nature.

“The country thinks weakly of Wumu.” Perhaps Donglan's current weakness is also regarded as the root cause of the troubled hero Twin Star Knights. Although the kingdom of Langlan is still at an end, the story of the history of a dozen Allied headhuddled rats in that country is still widely disseminated, and those already lost are more legendary in the mouth of Donglan men.

Unfortunately, in contrast to the glory of the past, it is now more frustrating. Even if the tradition of martial arts continues, the Duchy of Donglan has now become a third-class small country. Let alone the North China, the military force is now reluctant to protect its own people in the hands of beast tides and ambitious neighbours.

“Ally's mother wouldn't starve to death if she had enough food and supplies. With a stronger army, even if it is not possible to hold a Winter Hunting Festival like the Land of Langham, the winter herd is regarded as a rare prey. But at least until winter, it will be possible to control the size of the herd, and not to be forced to carry out a massive migration of the entire town in front of the tide of the beast, killing little Ellie's father on the way. ”

That's why I would say, "Relief for the individual is just a cure for the symptoms". Sooner or later, the extorted food will be eaten and there will be insufficient fighting power. Even if we are fortunate enough to survive this winter's wave of beasts, we will still have problems next year.

So if I want to reverse all this, it is clear that since food shortages and military weaknesses are the most important issues at hand, addressing food supply and military empowerment is the first thing I need to do, and that is the way to solve the underlying problem.

I've got a plan, and the biggest difficulty right now is food.

“Food... this is really hard. ”

This barren frozen earth is rich in minerals, but it is not suitable for crop growth. It is feasible to ask the magicians for a short wind and rain, but the magicians also need explanatory materials. If you do this on a large scale, no one can pay the huge bill.

Since it's difficult, check the strategy. Of course, there won't be an answer to such a question in the "Historical Strategy”, but there's another one to look into.

[Roland's Brochure on Survival of the Universe]

Thick, dilapidated notebooks are full of dust, and processed pages have turned yellow, giving the museum an ancient classic instead of a leather cover.

This is a note taken at the beginning of the journey to avoid forgetting the knowledge of heresy, given that it may be used this time.

“Do the glass for money.” Notebooks are preceded by ideas, but ideas are often followed by notes. "Glass manufacturing has barely succeeded, but the idea has failed from the beginning. The alchemist has invented more transparent glass in accidental experiments, and I have done nothing. ”

“The invention of gunpowder... the goblin has been invented, printed in live script... the god of knowledge began with this. ”

Behind the ideas are all kinds of failures, all kinds of annotations are traces of my failures after that year's efforts. If people are like words, the naivety and anger revealed on these distorted fonts is so obvious.

With only a little heretical knowledge, I wanted to do a great thing in a real world. It seemed that I was ambitious, but repeatedly struck by harsh realities.

But now, not looking back, thinking about my purpose, I turned to the page of the catalogue for food, and it shook me again.

“Got it, solve the food problem. Well, then grow high-yielding, high-resistance maize, sweet potatoes, potatoes, hybrid rice… replace regular, low-yielding varieties with high-yielding, heterogeneous foods? That's a really good idea. ”

So I sighed, and then I closed the book, and I threw it into the corner.

“Easy said! Where in the world can I find high-yielding crops like corn? ”

Yes, that's the point. If there was such a thing in the world, there would have been no famine, and it seemed that I was unreliable.

“Though we know it's unlikely, let's try it, system, are these high-yielding plants likely to be exchanged? ”

Can be redeemed.

Inquiries that were not expected received positive answers, but I remained inactive, after all, I had been pitted too many times.

“What do you need? If it were so simple, I would have already redeemed it. ”

[Ten million fate points count one.

Well, not so much again, but this time, unexpectedly, it was explained.

[As long as this high-yielding plant appears, with the help of Druid and the magician, it will quickly radically change the whole world, and may even shake the feudal social form that is fundamental to the land, such a large cause and effect that you cannot afford to start.

So that's why it's not redeemable, but the explanation of the system reminds me of a possible help.

“Then write a letter to Storm Eagle as well. The magicians certainly cannot afford it, but Druids are considered dangerous by most countries, and their other demands should not be high as long as we acknowledge their doctrine. ”

Since even the Dead Spirit intends to accept it, Druid is naturally acceptable. Unlike expensive magicians, Druid, who uses magic, does not need any manipulation materials, making plants ripe early is even better for them.

“It is not enough, however, that the number of Druids is no longer sufficient for a single country, or alternatives should be found. ”

[Haven't you noticed the tip to this point? The system can't help you exchange high-yielding plants, but can't you make them yourself?

My first consciousness is that the system is still crawling into me, and I can only create biology of the dead, creating a creature that eats the dead, but you can do it, and making safe, high-yielding crops is absolutely impossible.

[Have you forgotten where you learned life structure? She still remembers you.

Immediately, I suddenly realized that my dying physics was created by combining several disciplines of knowledge. Many of these theories stem from the life structure of an archmage, who, if I remember correctly, specializes in plant creation, summoning, perhaps making a high-yielding plant that changes the world is unlikely, but making a cold resistant crop for the improvement of a small northern country should be difficult to defeat.

So I hesitated to write the second letter. Unlike Storm Eagle, I never wanted to deal with her again for the rest of my life.

But after thinking about it, I could never think of any other way, and eventually, there was only a helpless pen.

“Dear Sister Emila, long time no see, brother I have something to ask for..."

-----------

Another long journey has come to an end, with all the early work accomplished, and finally the familiar capital city of Diffindor is in sight, and I am in distress.

There was no reason to drag it any further, but I received a new message to turn the bow directly.

More than half an hour later, in the mountains about 20 kilometres southwest of Divende, I searched for my target, a quiet camp where the bonfires burned quietly and the shadows in their capes remained silent.

“The law church led by the snowshoe has long entered the city and has been established to begin missionary service, while Sir Ferdinand and other Sovereign Knights camp outside the city. ”

This simple message surprised me. After all, I knew Sir Ferdinand, who was extremely obsessed with promises and military orders. Since I had said that he and the knights of the dead would enter the city to profess the newborn knights, he would never have discounted them, and it was time to enter the city.

But I just got off the boat, and when I saw what was going on in the camp, I knew why.

I would have expected Ferdinand to bring twenty or thirty elite knights of all ranks as instructors, naturally easily mixed into the city, but now there are at least 300 black capes to rest in the camp!

Now don't say mixed into the city, more than 300 high-ranking intelligent dead spirits, of which at least 30 are dead spiritual monarchs, can wreak a natural disaster of dead spirits at any time, enough to easily beat down any living city, once their news leaks, I'm afraid they can't hide and clean up at all.

“What's the matter with you guys, I'm not saying...”

Old Sir Ferdinand took the lead in greeting me with an embarrassing look on the face of the Skeleton General, who also knew that it had not been done beautifully.

“Everyone wanted to see it as soon as they heard it was Diffund. The number of people enrolled was increasing, and eventually, if it wasn't for Chief Best pressing down, they would have made repeated adjustment choices, I'm afraid it would be five or six thousand. ”

Look, Freddy, Lucas, Dimir, Slance, Lanie, Kakana, all the Ace Knights are really here, and I'm a little embarrassed to see them.

I sighed helplessly.

“Thanks to you guys coming all the way from the underground world, haven't you been spotted? Forget it, it's a good thing I'm here, I just need people. ”

“Daytime breaks, night trips, searches for wild mountains and hills, other countries are in some trouble, there have been a few minor clashes, but no injuries have occurred. The land of Lan is really familiar, no one should have noticed it yet. ”

“Yeah, but since someone lurked silently near the capital, this generation of guardian knights sucks. ”

Well, these guys just penetrate easily, and they complain about poor security.

“Should we go into town? How do you feel?”

Even though it was not possible for large troops to enter the city, it was not difficult to enter a dozen of them according to their abilities, but I was given an embarrassing silence when I asked them what they deserved.

“You guys, you ain't never been in town, have you? ”

Still silent, but already acquiescent.

“I wanted to see it when it was so far away. But when I got close, I didn't dare go in. ”

Ferdi's words were nodded with approval for a while.

Perhaps this is another “more frightening neighborhood", but besides that, the Knights of the Dead have other concerns.

“After all, we are dead, and the living are not on the same path. Actually, I'm satisfied with this from a long perspective. ”

“This generation of the Land of Lan seems to be in a bad situation, and if it is involved with the dead, it will probably be more marginalized by human society. ”

“Your Highness, our tenure has caused you trouble. In fact, we have been satisfied with such a return trip to our homeland. We have already agreed to leave twenty people as instructors, and the others will return on their original route.....”

“Enough! ”

Unnamed anger interrupted the knights' complacency.

“Have you said enough? Is that enough for one look? Tell me out loud that you traveled thousands of miles, risked crossing the borders of several countries just to see it from afar? Will that satisfy you? So you're willing to go back? Think I'm a fool? ”

“Of course...” Lucas said, but when I stared at him, I swallowed him back, and he was obviously a little heartless.

How similar is the scene in front of Cashmere and Fandac? The other day, they also said, "These days are very pleasant. The living and the dead are different. It's enough for us to follow. ”

In fact, I know that no intelligent creature likes to be alone, let alone be treated as a heterosexual, and since they feel very happy themselves, why stop it for the sake of others' eyes?

I also know that in the face of the living, they hesitate, they fear, they fear because they influence my plan, they fear because they involve me and I am hostile to the world. After all, the prevailing view of the world is that the dead are evil. I can understand how this feelings of inferiority are born, but I have no intention of accepting them!

“... when you died because of the people of this land, you are now returning to save them! You are glorious triumphs, not weak deserters! You never owe anyone except this bastard world. ”

”Get your chest up, my proudest knights! Let go of that irrelevant concern. Today is the day of triumph. You who have sacrificed for this land, return to this land where you have sacrificed all your protections. What is the need for hesitation and what is the fear? Answer me, so frightened, do you think you did something wrong? Regret? ”

As I questioned them, more than 300 pairs of soul fires burned quietly in the night, and their mood was not calm.

“No, we never regret it! ”

“Even as time flies, we are willing to sacrifice everything for our homeland, but we are now…”

Whoever is willing to just look far into the dream home, the knights deserve it. Why must they suffer such a cruel fate? They are in fear, but the object of fear is not the mighty enemy. My knights are never afraid on the battlefield. I know what they fear now. People who have sacrificed themselves in the past will look at themselves with hateful and hostile eyes, just because they are dead.

“Good! If you don't regret it, why hesitate? Take off that boring cloak and follow me straight as before. Please continue to trust me and I will give you the glory and respect you deserve! ”

All the dead knights took off their capes one by one, and the black death began to spread, but I laughed, fearless and unrepentant, and that was my sweetest knight.

“Freddy, my flag officer, are you ready? ”

“Yes, Your Highness! ”

“Raise my flag!! Tell everyone that in 377, we are back in triumph! ”

The tall Skull General carried the Legion's battle flag and began to strike the drums, while the Lan's battle flag rose, declaring that the undeterred Legion had begun to assemble again.

And in the past, when the horns of war were blown, when the banners of the legions were flying, the knights raised their weapons and arrayed forward.

And since it was a triumph, how could there be only one flag of war? In my eyes, the knights also raised their flags. Among them, there are the emblem representing the family's glory, the Legion's flag of war representing the Legion's honor, and the personal martial arts flag.

For a knight, the flag of war is his own glory, and even if he loses his weapon, he will not lose his flag.

Family continuity, glory regiment, personal martial arts, carrying three flags is not a small number, some knights carry more than a dozen flags, but he only stubbornly intends to carry his brother's war spirit.

12 sides of Slance, 15 sides of Fendac, 20 sides of Barack, 17 sides of Seta...

Some knights tremble with the dead bones of the battle flag, not because he is too weak, but because the battle flag is too heavy, and as the last flag bearer of an army, he fears that he is worthy of the glory represented by this Snow Lion flag.

Ed Len, whose family served in the Snow Lion Heavy Infantry Regiment for generations, was struck by a curse before the Battle of Diffund, and fewer than a hundred survivors lost their last drop of blood in the ensuing war.

Others lost their final battle flag and that of their regiment in the war, but redefined their glory with the blood of their enemies. The painstaking battle flag was unbearable to witness, but no companion ever laughed at him, and instead let him go to the front of the line.

His name is Dimir, the Black Lion Vulture Empty Cavalry has been exterminated, and there are no bones left, but as a Dragon Knight, he answered my call and returned from hell.

The flag of war is a continuation of history. He bears the loyalty of the Qingshan Mountain and gives everything to the warrior for this land.

Every flag is so worn out, every flag represents the sacrifice and blood of countless warriors, and every flag is filled with memories of past blood and fire.

As the distant sun rises slowly and the final night wind blows through, these broken flags fly with the wind, and our wrecks will triumph.

“Play music! Ryderstein Grand Prix 3 - Triumph Celebration! ”

Along with the Horn of Excitement is the triumphant song representing victory, the witches start singing in the softest and happiest rhythm, and in the joyful peace, the clumsiest knights hum along.

The joyful triumph of the past echoed in the ears, and the victory celebrations of the past were replicated in everyone's eyes, as if we had won countless victories in the past and were ready to return to the city to receive the cheers of the people.

“We're home! ”
