Chapter 216: Army Depression

In the main city of the City of Radiance, the sound of things being smashed is echoing constantly.
After hearing this voice, dozens of subordinates in the dignified earl's mansion did not have any surprise, it seems that they have been used to this situation.
In fact, it is exactly the same. From the housekeeper to the groom, almost everyone in the city's mansion knows that his own city man has a problem, that is, he likes to drop things.
In a certain room, after Eric had calmed down, the housekeeper nodded calmly to the people around him, and the latter knew, and immediately started cleaning.
Soon, the debris was swept away, and the room was replaced with new decoration.
Of course, these items are all bargains. When the room is full, it will not exceed ten gold coins. This is one of the reasons why the steward can be so calm in the face of Edric's prodigal defeat.
After Edric smashed it again, the depressed mood was finally relieved, but after seeing the ledgers on the side again, the anger strip that had already fallen had a faint upward trend.
This is a special account book, and every expense recorded on it is related to Luke.
In just a few days, the balance of the City of Radiance has been reduced by one-fifth. If this continues, the City of Radiance will soon go bankrupt from the surplus!
"This bastard!"
The steward ignored the insults of the Lord of the City and handed in a new report, which was the budget report entrusted to him by the Finance Officer of the City of Radiance.
Although the steward's attitude was very respectful, Edric still trembled after seeing the content of the report!
The reason is that the Treasury of the Radiant City is about to bleed again soon!
This report covers several aspects, fortifying the walls, recruiting magicians at the Adventurers' Guild, and adding new equipment to the army.
Either way, the amount of money spent is not a decimal number, and what makes Edridge most angry is.
At the end of the budget, the finance officer who didn't dare show up clearly wrote such a paragraph.
A few hundred words of narrative, first confessed his guilt, and then explained the reasons and complaints. After removing these useless rhetoric, the summary is actually one sentence: these money are Luke's asking, I ca n’t afford it, so Already paid in advance.
Asshole!
What kind of budget is this clearly a fait accompli? In that case, why is it so much to report to him? Is this a demonstration against him, Lord City Lord?
No!
Edric felt he could no longer tolerate it.
Although he is still the Lord of the City of Radiance and the countless Count of Empires, if only by a will in Luke's hands, he made him a tortoise, then how should the forces in the city think of him?
Once the majesty that has been cultivated for many years is swept away, the forces of all parties in the City of Radiance will surely float.
You have to know that if this person's heart breaks down, the team will not be able to take it. Even after Luke withdraws, it may be too easy for him to sit firmly on the throne of the city as usual.
With several guards, Edric left the city's main house. After looking around, he finally found Luke's figure near the wall.
At present, Luke was surrounded by people, and all the noble merchants in Tianhui City were in contact with each other, which made Edric hate his teeth.
This situation, originally in Tianhui City, can only happen to him, the Lord of the City, but now Luke's appearance is to his former glory.
Of course, besides Luke, Edric was also full of resentment against those guys around him.
How long has it been, is it not a special envoy sent by the empire, these guys have forgotten who the master of this city is, and show off to others.
Edric wanted to walk over, but before he got closer, he felt that the ground was shaking, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Outside the city wall, there was a hissing of war horses, and Edric was surprised for a moment, and then a terrible thought rose from his heart.
Uh ...
The dull bell rang through the sky. This was the first time in decades that the city of Radiance sounded the alarm of an enemy attack.
Seeing that Luke was on the wall for the first time, Edric hesitated for a second and then kept up with him.
Stepping up the stairs and walking to the city walls, the sight is no longer the familiar scene, but the ruins burned by the fire.
But just above the ruins, countless iron riders appeared. Although some soldiers in front wore the armor of the Greek Empire, the entire army erected the flags of the Kingdom of Turin and the Adams family!
Are they really here?
Edric's first reaction was that he had hallucinations.
Although there have been reports of war ahead, Edric never believed that these Turin kingdom guys would really appear outside the City of Radiance, which is one of the reasons why he was so dissatisfied with Luke's mobilization.
It's not Edric's arrogance, it's really that the City of Radiance is too far from the borderline of the Turin Kingdom.
Thousands of miles away, there are several towns in the middle. According to normal conditions, the Turin Kingdom cannot reach here at all.
But now, the reality in front of him has broken all of Edrich's illusions, and the enemies that he seems impossible to appear are now approaching the city step by step.
For a while ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Eric had a hint of fortune in his heart.
Regardless of how he complained before, Luke insisted on completing the task of clearing up the wild walls, burning a fire to the outside of the city, let alone a house sheltered from the wind and rain, not even a grain of grain left to the enemy. .
Tens of thousands of troops, countless war horses, the daily consumption of food and forages is not only as high as a hill, the Turin kingdom ’s army must bring food, but if it is not possible to obtain new supplies from the place, this is also for them. A big trouble.
"General Luke, what do we do now when the enemy is now?"
Edric likes to fight for power, but he is not a fool. He knows that he is not the material of war, so even if he talks about Luke, he can only rely on the other party now.
Luke didn't care about Edric's followers.
Although the other party has complained a lot these days, it has only remained verbal, and there has been no delay in doing things. On the contrary, tens of thousands of exiles have stabilized under his proper resettlement without any trouble.
Not to mention, despite the various problems in front of Edric, he also has the ability. Nowadays, the enemy is now, Luke naturally hopes to unite all the forces that can be united against the Kingdom of Turin. Offensive, after all, in order to become the special envoy of the military, Luke squeezed almost everything into himself, and made achievements and achievements, just now!
