That is Jinsui City?The iron axe turned his sight glass and looked at a gray-brown city in the distance.

As shown on the map, it should be it. After all, there is only one Sanwanhe River, so it is unlikely that it will be wrong.The adjutant Xiongzhang replied.

Like Iron Axe, he was both a hunter from the Border Town and was one of the first people to serve the lord.

It was a little strange... he frowned.

What's strange?

Jinsui City is the main city in the eastern region and a major trading center of Gray Castle. The old capital, Eagle City, and Jinsui City constitute the prosperous central region of the kingdom. Even I heard its name when I was in the extreme southern region.Iron Axe explained, but after walking in the past few days, don’t you think the merchant ships we have encountered are very few?

I don't know this, the bear paw shrugged. Perhaps the previous pirate attacks scared the merchants and would never dare to come here to do business again.

The attack was two years ago. No matter how serious the robbery was, it should have been restored.

The city walls in the field of view are ugly and bloated, and the brown walls seem to have been deliberately widened. Perhaps because of the lack of stone, the newly built exterior wall is made of red mud, and there is a lot of gravel and wood inside, which is quite similar to the early stone walls of Bianfeng Town.

In addition, the surface of the city wall is covered with a layer of shiny things. Due to the distance, the iron axe is not very clear.

The new and old city walls are stacked together, which has more than doubled the width of the wall top. However, this transformation is not very thorough. Some parts are still the same as before. From a distance, they look rough and uneven and bumpy, not like a city known for its fertility.

What if he doesn't matter, just take it off. The bear paw took out a fire lantern fruit from his arms and threw it into his mouth. Even if it was not Jinsui City, but Yinsui City and Tiexu City, what if it was? Your Majesty's order was to sweep the entire Eastern Realm, right?That's very simple, just watch one by one.

Iron Axe shook his head helplessly. This guy was still the same as before. He rarely thought for more than three breaths. The most common thing he did when he met a target was to rush over with a javelin.

While other hunters were still burying traps and releasing hunting dogs to track their prey, he was already back with the results of the hunt.

According to legend, even the most terrifying black bear in the forest is unwilling to provoke him too much, so his title Bear Paw was obtained because of this.

If he had been willing to use his brain more, he would not have been an adjutant now. Even Vannah was already the commander-in-chief of the artillery battalion.

However, the battle process is not the focus. The focus is on how to deal with the aftermath. But the next words of Xiongzhang surprised the Iron Axe. If we mess up the East District, the city hall will definitely cause trouble for us, but if there is no big fight, it will be difficult for those officials to even gain a foothold.Has Your Majesty explained how to act?

No, he just told me to deal with the situation.

That would be a headache.Of course, you are the boss, so you have to leave this matter to you for consideration, and I can do it as it goes.Bear paw grinned.

Iron Axe couldn't help but become interested, Oh?Where is the headache?

Do you really don’t know or are you taking the test of me? The bear paw holds my forehead, of course it’s a headache. How to deal with those nobles.The East Realm has not waited for a turnaround until now. His Majesty's power has become stronger and stronger. There will definitely be no one voice within them.When the city is captured, most people will surrender, and then trouble will come.Without Lord Nightingale, how do you distinguish them?

Continue, Tie Axe nodded, it seemed that the other party was not completely useless.

Hello, you really didn't think about it, your bear's eyes widened. The number of soldiers on the Eastern Front is not large, and the teams that can be left behind are very limited. At most, you can take care of the inner city, but this is the base camp of Tifeike!It’s okay if the aristocrats are willing to cooperate with each other after surrendering. What if they are malicious and always think about seizing power?Even if there are only a small group of such people, it will make the army uneasy in the East. It is a trivial matter if the city hall is useless. If it is serious, it will be difficult for the officials sent by the city hall to survive.Poisoning, assassination, bribery... These methods cannot be defended by muskets.

Then what do you think?Iron Axe said curiously.

Boss, this is your business. The bear paw rolled his eyes and spit the chewed fruit seeds in his mouth into the rolling river.

It's just a hypothesis. For example, now you are the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Army, just talk about it casually.

Um... The other party thought hard for a while before sighing. There was no good idea. If Lord Nightingale couldn't come, he could only rely on time to tell.Or buy more mice, take precautions, and then use the method of "Winter City" to maintain order, use as little as possible to surrender the nobles, and drag them until the end of the war.

Sure enough... Iron Axe whispered.

What?

No, nothing, he put away his glasses, there is nothing to do with you here, go and notify other people on the boat and prepare for landing, we are almost approaching the dock outside the suburbs.

clear!When the war was mentioned, Xiong Paw immediately became energetic. After floating on the river for so long, he finally managed to do one!

Looking at the adjutant's back as he was rushing away, Iron Axe breathed out and leaned over to the porthole of the command room, feeling thoughtful.

He couldn't help but see the scene when the army was driving and speaking to him the day before yesterday.

The appointment was in the private room of the tavern opened by Evelyn. It really didn't look like a place to talk about serious matters. Tiefu thought the other party planned to win the operation as an official of the Ministry of Defense, and he was familiar with the relationship with the army. However, he did not expect that there was only Beidi Pearl in the private room, and what he said was shocking enough.

The content of the conversation between the two happened to be the headache that Xiongzhang nagged.

He still remembers every word the other party said clearly.

Why do you think Your Majesty asked you to be responsible for the Eastern Front Army?Itis's opening remark surprised him.

I only obey orders and will not ask why.

But the order will not explain every detail clearly, especially in some things that are not convenient to mention. Beidi Pearl said in an orderly manner while sucking a Chaos drink, "The answer in your heart is that no one else can be responsible except you, but is this really the case?"You should know better than me what the strength of the group of people in the East Realm is that any regular army of five or six hundred people can defeat them in a destructive way. In other words, the commander at the battalion commander level is enough to deal with the war on the Eastern Front.On the contrary, the Western Front has to deal with the Holy City of Hermes, not only is the situation complicated, but the potential danger is also much greater.If it is not a special reason, it is appropriate to ask Your Majesty to help command the Western Front Army and hand over the Eastern Front Army to other people.

... At that time, Iron Axe did not answer, but he had already vaguely agreed with Itise's statement.

As for this special reason, it is actually very simple, that is your attitude towards the nobles.The other party continued, as a Mo Jinsha native, you will not have any inexplicable fear and tolerance for the Graycastle nobles, and the key to regaining the Eastern Realm is how to deal with the rebellious nobles.

Her analysis afterwards was roughly the same as what Xiong Zhang said, but she had to be so meticulous that Tie Axe couldn't help but believe that it was impossible to restore stability to the East Realm by just ordinary methods.

Your Majesty needs population and resources, and there is not so much time spent on a bunch of scum.

The only problem is...

Your Majesty has not explained this.

Of course not. Your Majesty is a merciful lord after all, so we can only do some things, Itis said slowly, but he was not completely insinuating that the City Hall sent a total of 265 people to accompany the army. They were all managers that Your Majesty had finally cultivated to take over the land that needed to be regained.The Eastern Front Army accounts for more than two-thirds of the total number of people, and you should be able to understand the reason.

The iron axe still remembers that moment was like a flash of lightning passing by his heart.

Don't let Your Majesty down.Itis said at last.

Sir, the preparations for the first army’s landing have been completed, and the fleet can dock at any time!Suddenly, his subordinates' reports interrupted his thoughts.

The iron axe took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice, go ashore to camp and prepare to attack the city!
