Chaos Crown

Chapter 118, The Call of War (Second update!)
Slightly surprised by the presence of the Warlock and his demon overlord (now clearly the succubus), Aaron put Eleanor down and stepped forward to greet the leader of Cormyr's Harpers and one of his overlords .

However, as mentioned above, Aaron has an absolute psychological advantage in the face of demons, and Eleonora helped him last time. This female succubus disguised herself as a wanderer to assist him in investigating the remains of the snake man. Although he chose to retreat and didn't fight with Aaron to the end, Aaron didn't blame her at all.

Because she had already told Aaron to allow her retreat, and she also lured away half of the undead snake-hating people.

She seems to be fine... The strength of this succubus suzerain is always a mystery.

"Samir, are you here to buy clothes for the Midwinter Festival?" Aaron greeted Samir and said with a smile, "That's really a coincidence, we're almost finished."

"Hehehe~ No rush." ​​Samir glanced at Aaron with a lazy smile, and signaled his succubus suzerain to start shopping: "Ai Lu, you go to choose, I will chat with Aaron."

"Okay~" The lively Eleonora patted the female tiefling's shoulder with great interest, smiled at the panicked eyes of the other party, and started shopping.

Samir walked up to Aaron. This guy chatted with Leonard and Aaron very familiarly.

Only Disma was still sulking.

"Your Excellency Aaron, are you still interested in what you asked me to know last time?" After talking with Leonard for a few words, Samir knew that the other party was a typical paladin. Focus on Aaron.

Aaron knew that what Samir was talking about was about the Countess of Arabelle, Millman Raul: "Of course, is there any new news?"

"Yes." Samir nodded, "Listen to me..."

While Eleanor, Elunora, and Maria-Lysa were all trying on clothes, Samir secretly told Aaron the current known news in the boutique.

The countess of Arabel, Millman-Raul, is gathering a huge army, and plans to go north to recover Arabel when the spring of next year is about to begin.

The number of this army is about 7000-8000 people. Except for Ms. Raul's headquarters of 3000 people, she has exhausted all possible methods and recruited all the forces that can be recruited.

"In this army, you will be able to see the country's complex and diverse civilizations, the competing outer races, and the depth and breadth of compatibility, hehehehe~" These are Samir's original words: "When the time comes, you will know gone."

Aaron frowned, the speed of army assembly in the kingdom is very slow.

For example, when an ordinary noble lord needs to launch a big battle, he may have to start preparations several months in advance. The news was sent to various places, and the lower nobles everywhere also needed time to regroup their troops.

The assembly speed of the citizen levy army will be faster, but the training level of this group of people is not high, and they cannot be expected to have much combat effectiveness.

Teams of mercenaries, mercenary groups, and adventurers gather quickly and have strong combat effectiveness, but they need a lot of real money to persuade them.

Ms. Millman-Raul chose a good time for the war, Aaron thought after listening to Samir's description.

Orcs are not productive. After occupying Arabel for nearly a year, even if there is food in the local area, it should be almost swarmed by orcs. At this time, the orc tribe is the weakest after a whole winter of lack of food. when.

Ms. Raul chooses to attack at this time. If Arabel can be regained in one go, it will not affect the spring plowing in the new year, which will help to resume production quickly.

But Aaron still had a problem.

"Our Ms. Raul doesn't even have her territory. Where does she get the money to organize an army of 8000 people?" Aaron asked his own question.

"Hey hey hey~" Samir laughed wickedly, and the magician made a gesture of clenching his fist and then letting go: "This is thanks to that ancient red dragon and that orc great Khan Tujin."

"After Turkin captured Arabel City, he plundered all the temples of the gods in the entire city, and then burned all the temples with a torch. The place that the believers regarded as a holy place was completely destroyed by the orcs and turned into ruins." Samir gestured and said: "All the statues of the gods were desecrated, and from that day on, Arabel only had the statues of the orc gods."

"So, Millman-Raul's action this time has received the full support of many churches, especially the Lucky Lady Church. The Lucky Lady high priest here probably moved out every gold coin accumulated in the temple for many years in order to regain Arabel , to recover the holy place where their god had come and stayed for many months."

Understood!There was excitement in Aaron's eyes. No wonder Ms. Lauer was able to gather a large army under such a difficult situation. It turned out that she had the full support of many churches!
This information is very important to Aaron, which shows that the possibility of victory in this war is a little higher.

For example, the very famous "Normandy Conquest" in Aaron's previous life was not so much William the Conqueror's strong military ability, but rather his strong logistical support and a little bit of luck that determined the outcome of the war.

When William, Duke of Normandy, officially declared himself the king of England in January 1066 and assembled a large army in Normandy, few people believed that William could really become the king of England, because his army was not as large as that of Harrow across from Shanghai. Germany II, but also to fight across the sea, facing Harold II's army waiting for work.

In the Middle Ages, the number of people fighting across the sea was still at a disadvantage, and it was really difficult to win.

But a sudden hurricane caused the war to be delayed for eight months. During the eight months of waiting, William, who had a lot of money and a lot of support, managed to maintain the size of his army and keep training, while Harrow across the sea However, De II was forced to disband most of the army because of lack of money and supplies, and because of the Norwegian invasion, he completely gave up the coastal defense and let the Normans land.

Since then, Harold II has fallen into a disadvantage in terms of training, number of troops, and defense system.

In the end, the Battle of Hastings that took place on October 1066, 10 became the name of William the Conqueror, the French nobleman became the king of the British, and the high medieval period began.

"So, after talking so much, are you coming?" Samir took a long breath, took out a beautiful magic portable flagon from his waist, and took a sip for himself: "This world needs heroes." ! Are you coming or not?"

"Come!" Aaron no longer hesitated, he nodded: "I will trouble you to introduce me to Ms. Lauer then."

"Hey hey hey~ I knew you would come." Samir smiled with satisfaction: "Oh yes, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

"I said earlier that I was the head of the Cormyr Harpers League, right?"

"Yes."

"...Actually, that was a lie to you. The leader of the Harper Alliance here in Cormyr is Ms. Raul, and I'm just a small soldier~"

Aaron: "..."

A small soldier who has entered the bottomless abyss and the first floor of hell, and can still escape completely, right?

"I'll find an opportunity to introduce you after the New Year." Samir shook hands with Aaron: "Don't disturb Ms. Lauer and her daughter's vacation now."

"it is good!"

A pledge to join the war was thus fulfilled.

After that, the two of them tacitly did not mention this matter again.

At Aaron's request, Eleanor tried two more sets of dresses, namely a milky white flower lined dress with gold-plated buttons and a dark sand dress with black rose stone seams, which were paired with solemn gray pearlescent pantyhose and Sexy black padded matte pantyhose, it can be said that the effect is outstanding and amazing.

Aaron bought a few more pairs of shoes and [-] pairs of silk stockings for Miss Pastor. There were all kinds of white silk, pork silk, gray silk, brown silk and black silk, and they were divided into two types: suspenders and jumpsuits.

Cultivate Miss Priest's dressing habits from this Midwinter Festival!
Aaron is very ambitious and confident about it!

After shopping, the 2500 Golden Lion coins went out just like that. Miss Pastor was too ashamed to lift her head under the envious eyes of everyone. She held Aaron's arm, feeling sweet and sad in her heart.

She knew that her bottom line was once again breached by Aaron, and she couldn't hold any bottom line to this man at all.

Not even Su Lun supported her.

My lord, do you no longer protect your faithful servant?
The Silver Virgin's reply was a gentle yet reproachful chuckle, indicating that you were duplicity.

Eleanor couldn't help blushing.

Even my lord has seen through himself, right?Uh~ Why am I so ashamed?
Thinking of the upcoming Midwinter Festival and New Year, Eleanor couldn't help but be filled with anticipation.

He and I are finally going to...

Girls in love are always so contradictory and always so cute. Aaron noticed Eleanor's expression and gently scratched her little nose with his fingers: "Leave it to me, Eleanor." Lino."

"Don't think about doing bad things!" Eleanor waved her small fist like a demonstration, expressing that I am not afraid of you!

The girl's beautiful sea blue eyes were transparent and bright, and there was only Aaron's reflection in the pupils.

After shopping, Aaron was going to ask the two seniors and Ms. Lysa if they wanted to go together, but when he turned around, he saw Leonard, the head of the university, looking weird at the cash register, and Disma was a little gloating.

"What's the matter? Senior?" Aaron asked Disma what was going on.

"Ha, there are some people who obviously don't have this strength, but want to show their gentlemanly demeanor." Disma couldn't help being proud, his dead fish eyes were full of sarcasm: "Now, isn't it embarrassing? "

The sunny and handsome Leonard was really embarrassed, especially in the eyes of his two juniors, Samir and Eleonora, Miss Lysa, the shopkeeper and the female Tiefling, and stood up. The paladin who took the oath of dedication had a stiff expression, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

Out of a gentleman's demeanor, out of the sense of responsibility of a paladin, and out of the thousands of instructions from his mentor, Lucian, the banner officer, Leonard offered to pay for Miss Lysa.

As a result, when he saw the price, the headmaster was stunned.

Miss Lysa was already very considerate and restrained. She only picked out a small cream winter dress, a pair of ordinary kitten heel shoes, ordinary brown spider silk stockings and a red fox scarf.

The shopkeeper checks out: the four items add up to a total of 325 golden lion coins.

This calculation directly put Leonard in the wrong place. The paladin only took 50 Golden Lion coins with him when he went out for a walk today!This is already the vast majority of his cash.

Leonard's annual fixed salary in the Purple Dragon Knights is only 300 Golden Lion Coins, and the rest are the harvest of missions, and the University President always donates all the extra money, leaving only the basic living expenses and emergency fund.

For Leonard, 50 Golden Lion coins are a huge sum of money. An ordinary family of five can live on food and clothing for more than a whole year. Today, he was forced to go shopping with Miss Lysa by his instructor. Get as much money as possible.

Is this... so expensive?

"Sir, may I ask how you plan to pay the bill?" The owner of the Saint Angel Cypher boutique asked, "Do you plan to pay cash or mail the bill?"

"I..." Leonard was extremely embarrassed.

He's Tom's paladin, he has to be honest, but he has no cash.

He is Tom's paladin, he must keep his promise, he said he will pay the bill, he is not good to break his promise.

How to do how to do?On a snowy day in the cold winter, Leonard suddenly felt that the earth dragon in the store was too hot, and his back was sweating profusely.

"What do you mean by mailing the bill?" Aaron was puzzled: "Hasn't Leonard already..."

"You don't know that, Aaron, Leonard is a paladin, and a paladin has credibility." Desma deliberately amplified his voice a little, and he said with a smirk: "Businessmen are willing to lend Paladin money, because the consequences of paladins not paying back the money are more serious, so as long as they can confirm that the other party is a genuine paladin, most merchants are willing to let paladins pay on credit."

"Can paladins pay for credit?" Aaron said in surprise.

"Hey, you kid is quite vivid in your description, yes, it's just credit for your face." Disma nodded.

Aaron thought to himself that when I become stronger in the future, can I get a paladin routine loan?By evaluating the Sesame score of the paladins to determine their credit limit?Those with a high sesame score can directly borrow money from me through Subspace and Chaos?

When the scale is large, a Salian gold suit will be launched, and the entire multiverse will be listed!

With such a genius invention, Ms. Fortune won't give me the title of God?
Oh yes, Ms. Fortune is missing, and there is no news so far.

Aaron could only put this idea aside for the time being, when he saw Leonard hesitating and not knowing what to do, he was about to speak, but Disma took the initiative to say: "Hey, boy, you are so rich, you must have cash on you, right? "

"I have 200 golden lion coins on me, let's make up 300, let's settle this matter." The second senior took out a small bag from his body: "I will pay you back the money later."

"Senior?" Aaron opened his mouth wide, and he scanned Disma from top to bottom, as if to confirm whether he was his second senior.

"What are you looking at?" Disma's dead fish eyes were full of embarrassment, and he turned his head: "Do you have any money? Tell me!"

"Unexpectedly, senior, you are such a warm-hearted person." Aaron was a little moved, and he skillfully handed out 100 golden lion coins.

"Who is so warm-hearted?!" Disma was like a cat whose hair was blown up: "I just want to avoid that guy's debts and being chased to the Knights, embarrassing the old man, and it's not good for us. Don't overthink it!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Aaron took the money bag with a smile. After thinking for a while, he motioned for Samir to come over and give the magician a little advice.

What a fine person Samir is, he immediately understood, holding the money bag and hugging Leonard's shoulder.

"Ah, my lord, I forgot, I haven't given you the commission I asked you to help last time..."

In the end, things worked out smoothly.

A group of people came out of the boutique, and Miss Lysa's family took the pure noble girl away. Aaron saw Leonard's tangled expression when he said goodbye to Miss Lysa, and thought that he, the university president, would never Will come to this store again.

On the way, Leonard still couldn't hold back, and the paladin complained: "325 Golden Lion coins, Tom is on top, Disma, Aaron, you know that if you donate so much money to the refugees in Arabel, there will be a lot of money." How many people get bread and broth? How many people get a shelter from the wind and snow? Well, I don't think it's worth it to spend such a fortune."

Disma rolled his eyes with a sneer, thinking that the paladins were really hopeless.

Eleanor had a look of displeasure on her face, and Miss Pastor always felt that the dean's words were veiled accusations against her and Aaron.

"Come on!" Aaron said impatiently: "Senior! They are refugees, not disaster victims! You donate money this year and next year, and they will still have to face a complete winter in the year after that! Will you Donate money? How much money do you have to fill this hole?"

"I..." Leonard was at a loss for words for a moment, but Aaron made sense.

"What the refugees really need is to go home! The best way for us to help them is to go home!" Aaron said firmly: "Only by trying to get them home can we truly solve the refugee problem! Samir, You tell them."

The magician told the two seniors about Ms. Lauer's plan.

"This world needs heroes!" Samir said at the end: "You two, I formally invite you to join Ms. Raul's Arabel Restoration Army! Fight for all the good things in the world!"

"Are you coming?"

Leonard and Disma looked at each other, and both saw the determination in each other's eyes.

"Come!"

　Updated, the second update today is asking for tickets!
