In mid-October 2o2 of Guangming Calendar, the north of Islar 6 is already covered with white snow, and the South Talun Prairie is blocked by the cold currents from the south by the Hengduan Mountains, but you can still see the green. It is located in the South Tower. Fernando City in the south of Lun Prairie is no exception, and the city is full of busy scenery inside and outside the city. |//|
Due to the tragic defense of the imperial capital this summer, the imperial capital suffered heavy losses in both manpower and materials, not to mention the farms and manors in the suburbs. The area occupied by the orcs, food and materials were looted. It was empty, and the areas where humans evacuated beforehand were all burned clean. When the war ended with the retreat of the orcs, the humans were helpless. In fact, they did not win the real victory in this war, because the harder battle is yet to come.
Even if it is blocked by the Hengduan Mountains, the imperial capital still can't stop the winter's footsteps. When the breeze blows, a chill will flow into the heart and lungs, making people tremble. The farms and plantations on the outskirts of the imperial capital are full of crops. Although the weather is getting colder day by day, these green crops are still growing tenaciously, just like the people of the imperial capital who have lived stubbornly.
Due to the war in the imperial capital, many granaries were ransacked by the orcs, and the farms in the suburbs were severely damaged. This caused a huge gap in the imperial capital’s food reserves next year. In order to solve this problem, Luke ordered the capital to be moved outside the city. All the fields where you can grow crops are planted with things that can feed your stomach, while grapes for wine making and fresh fruits have become luxury items, and you can hardly find a trace in the Imperial Capital.
After the war, the imperial capital did not restore the original order. Instead, it became a large barracks under the management of Luke and Orlando. Over three million young imperial capitals were enlisted in the army, but not all of them were For real soldiers, Orlando selected the best 400,000 from these 30 million as professional soldiers for intensive training, while the remaining 260,000 were all stationed in multiple manors outside the city.
These people are divided into three parts. One part is engaged in farming and hunting to obtain food, the other part is building houses to rebuild their homes, and the remaining part is undergoing necessary military training. The three parts are constantly rotating. Everyone All are busy for the happiness of themselves and future generations.
With these young adults as the main force, Luke finally used all the land that can be used outside the imperial capital. After several careful calculations under his men, he believes that after the harvest of these fields, the food obtained can be used for the people of the imperial capital. Live the days when next year's greens and yellows don't pick up.
But this does not make Luke rest easy, because the first heavy snowfall in the imperial capital is about to come. In order to harvest the grain before the snow is covered, Luke has begun to mobilize personnel to carry out crazy harvesting. More than one million people are divided into two shifts and busy in the fields day and night, even if the crops have not finally matured. , They were all cut down and transported into the granary that had just been built.
Maybe it’s not delicious without mature crops, but it’s better than starving to death without eating anything. The military and civilians in the entire imperial capital know this very well, so despite the day and night they work, there is no population. Complaints. Of course, what makes them gratifying is that their beautiful Queen Catherine often visits various manors on the outskirts of the imperial capital and even works with them.
In the current imperial capital, although the cold winter is approaching, there is a thriving scenery everywhere. Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon. After Luke took power, the losing Fernando royal family was naturally unwilling to lose the power in their hands, but at the beginning they could only complain behind their backs, because Luke got the full support of Orlando. , And these royal clans, who usually talk about wisdom, are trembling and speechless when facing thousands of elite fighters.
However, there are always people who are blinded by power and money. After fighting for power head-on with Luke does not work, the insightful men of the Fernando family also changed their strategies. They no longer actively compete with Luke for power, but The goal was placed on Queen Catherine. The three members of the Fernando royal family who are most qualified to inherit the throne formed an offensive and defensive alliance, led by the 79-year-old Henikos-Fernando, to fully support Catherine.
In the eyes of these Fernando royal families, although Catherine is a woman, she is always a woman of the Fernando family. How better than Luke this outsider is, and once the throne is regained, what role can Catherine play as a woman? Not to rely on members of the Fernando family.
However, Catherine doesn’t seem to know this. Although Henikos and Birmingham and others have repeatedly or bluntly or implied, she still respects Luke everywhere, and does not interfere with Luke in matters of national affairs and daily government affairs. It was decided that this also made Luke very satisfied with Catherine. Instead, he reported all important things to Catherine. After Catherine stated that he would do it according to Luke's intentions, Luke began to implement it.
These seem to be only superficial forms, but they make everyone understand one thing, that is, although Luke holds the power, the nominal ruler of the imperial capital is still Catherine. It was precisely because of this that the Fernando royal family did not give up on Catherine, continued to support her, and fought with Lu Keming on matters of national importance and trivial matters.
Some people like power, and naturally others like to enjoy it. Of course, the Fernando family is no exception. Some of them try their best to defeat Luke every day, but there are also many arrogant guys under the protection of their elders. Begin to live back to the days before.
When Fernando XIII was still alive, these young imperial children could be regarded as free and easy in the emperor. Now, although the country is in trouble, these guys who have been used to living a comfortable life since childhood don't care. In their view, as long as the father’s elders are still there, they don’t have to worry about not spending money; as long as the invincible royal knights are still there, they can enjoy life in the imperial capital; as long as the magic teleportation array can operate, they can be in the imperial capital. After the city was broken, he ran to Haifeng City in the south and continued to lead his carefree life.
Whether it’s power or enjoyment, these people have brought insecurity to the current stable life of the imperial capital. The guys fighting for power naturally have to fight against Luke and Luke’s men everywhere, although they dare not fight against it. , But some things can be pushed back and forth. If you can finish it in one day, it will definitely take you three or five days. If you can do it at once, how can you run seven or eight times more? In short, as long as it makes Luke unhappy The thing, Henikos and his allies will be very happy to do it.
