Warhammer

She couldn't help El with government affairs, and El was never at ease letting the wolf girl lead the army into battle alone, but she never caused trouble or work for El. Although this was because the wolf girl herself had no such concept at all, El did feel very relaxed with Hera.

"Fourth, fourth..." Al narrowed his eyes and suddenly shouted out Hera's ranking as if muttering to himself.

"Hmm!?" The wolf girl immediately leaned close to her little father's head, her body even closer than before, and her face, which was wild and innocent and inherited some of El's features, was close to El's cheek.

"Among your brothers, you are the most comfortable every day!"

Al suddenly pinched the wolf girl's big furry ears, as if scolding her. Hera was not afraid. Instead, she hugged Al even more happily, rubbing her face against her little father. She naturally knew that Al was not angry with her.

It is well known to everyone that the young father has always given preferential treatment to the wolf girl, whose overall strength does not seem to be at the top among the four sons. Hera herself is also clear about this. She is not as charming as Barbatos, not as omnipotent and the boss as Misha, and not as conscientious as Kael'thas as the adjutant to handle internal and external affairs for Aiur. All she does all day is fight and play, and she also takes people around her to fight and play. She does not know how to build. The basic development of the legion depends on the tribal headquarters or other brothers to send people to help manage it. It is a "war gang-style" tribe that is almost off-duty, with relatively lax discipline and a large consumption of materials. In the past, it was normal for them to spend more than they earned.

What a great love it is that El still keeps thousands of people of the "Fourth Legion" under her command.

With the rising pony Aliya and the bunny sisters competing for performance, Al did not hide his intention to establish a new legion from those around him. After all, he was the one who started it, and he had said that this should become a routine tradition. All his descendants were working towards this goal, and if he suddenly gave up, it would inevitably dampen their enthusiasm.

But Al felt that with the current number of people in the tribe, it seemed meaningless to have a fifth or sixth legion, or even a total of twenty legions. A tall dwarf is still a short one.

But if you say that you don't want to expand and just maintain the old four legions, it seems that it doesn't make much sense for Hera to lead a group of werewolves to eat, drink and fight every day. If she is laid off, Al doesn't want to make the wolf girl sad. Hera will definitely feel aggrieved, although she also knows that she is not as good as her other brothers and sisters.

Al is considering a decision that will affect the future of the tribe and the future system of the "United Kingdom".

Without Misha, without Kael'thas by his side, and without two extraordinary deputies with outstanding abilities, Al had no one to help him, but he intuitively felt that he had to make this decision himself.

Chapter 128: Trouble in the North

Things are dragging a little with Bill Barry.

Al had originally planned to hold a grand military parade with them to boost morale and demonstrate the power of the coalition forces, but this did not get a response. The Northern Parliament was not enthusiastic about this, or they felt that with only tens of thousands of people, as well as the elderly, the weak and the disabled in the city, there was little point in holding a grand military parade.

Al didn't feel like he had won the final battle and was showing off his power.

The elves' expeditionary force seemed to dislike the fact that most of Bilbarri had turned into ruins, and declined the proposal to station in the city. After all, they were only three thousand people in number, and they could find some houses anyway. There wasn't much else in the city now, mostly ruins and empty spaces, which was a bit of a joke.

They chose to camp alone outside the city. Like Ai'er, they were waiting for the Northern Council to finish their domestic affairs and complete the handover mission so that they could return to Osun to report. However, the elves' waiting was pure waiting. After they set up camp, basically no one came in or out. They even brought their own supplies. Except for a few officers and messengers who had to connect with the outside world, looking at their camp from the outside, apart from the sentries standing guard and patrolling, there seemed to be few signs of human activity.

But there was one thing that made Al very, very, very unhappy.

That is, the elves who came with only 3,000 people to support the Southern Kingdom's war of resistance were treated with great respect and courtesy by the Bilbari people. There was an endless stream of messengers and bureaucrats visiting and contacting the elves, so frequent that the elves became annoyed and simply opened an office in the city of Bilbari to prevent the Bilbari people from running to their camp all day long.

In contrast, the tribe that claims to have an "army of 100,000" and whose actual number is about the same size seems to be sitting on the sidelines.

Apart from the delegation that came privately to "seek cooperation" shortly after entering the city, trying to make the tribes support the North in the distribution of interests after the war, and promised that once Bilbarry obtained the city prince title and invited the Southern Eagle to Bilbarry City, free trade and tribute trade would be allowed... apart from the delegation that was ignored by El as a joke, there was only one formal meeting in the name of the parliament to thank El for leading the army north to save Bilbarry and save the kingdom.

There were some private visits, mainly from business nobles. They sent several joint envoys with gifts, nominally to express gratitude, but during the meetings and exchanges, they vaguely mentioned things like "the importance of regency to the current situation in the kingdom" and "a wise and brave leader is the sun of Estalia, and the sky cannot be without the sun, just like a ship cannot be without a helmsman."

Implicitly stating: They support the coalition, support Ai'er, and support the regent.

Of course, it is also possible that they will support whoever controls the "100,000-strong coalition army" and holds the regency power.

These businessmen had a keen sense of smell and vaguely realized that the tribes were mobilizing forces to intervene in the situation of the "neighboring country". Al was also going to great lengths to carry out anti-counterrevolutionary activities and depose and establish religious leaders in the south. It seemed that it was not as simple as the slogans said, that regardless of race, everyone should unite to fight the green and jointly defend the civilized order.

No matter what the outcome is, at least it's always a good idea.

They were smarter than those guys in the parliament who had been out of touch with reality for a long time. At least, at the critical moment of the country's life and death, the elves sent 3,000 people to check in. This situation showed the attitude of Osun Island towards the affairs of the Southern Kingdom:

Ah, humans have been beaten by the greenskins again (don’t care)—at least there are some treaties and trade exchanges, so let’s send a few people over to take a look.

such.

Instead, he went to great lengths to communicate and curry favor, but was rather cold toward his "neighboring ally" Al, who held a large number of troops and the power of regent.

Actually it's not so bad, at least the attitude is still good. If they and Ai'er were to act too arrogantly and have no self-awareness, he would take some radical measures to make the Northern Parliament face the reality even if the elves have not left yet.

But compared with the enthusiasm for the elves next door, it is really a slap in the face.

Al was so angry that he ran to the elves and invited them to jointly hold a military parade. The elves, who had a good attitude towards him, agreed. Finally, Al led his army to a flat area outside the battlefield where the Iron Throne fell and held a military parade. He did not invite the Bilbarri people, but publicized the event in the city, and the civilian coalition who went to watch the parade would be given a sum of supplies.

The Northern Parliament was furious. They only learned the news three days before the parade and sent people to request to join the parade and change the venue to the city of Bilbarri. Misha refused. After returning, a member of the parliament angrily scolded Al at the meeting, "You are an impudent foreign tyrant and a lewd little butcher!"

Being brought before the El case by the Council of Scholars made him feel very happy.

It can be considered as a way to vent my anger.

At the same time, Al was not just wasting time in Bilbao. He sent troops to help with the reconstruction work. After all, it was to win the hearts and minds of the people and their goodwill. Besides, a group of old, weak and sick people were really pitiful to see. He would not sit idly by because of this contradiction.

On the other hand, Al did not limit his attention to the area around Bilbao. Compared to the people of Bilbao who now had to devote all their energy to reconstruction and restoration work, he had plenty of manpower under his command.

Barbatos led an army of 20,000 troops across the Thomas River and marched eastward along the northern Catabio Avenue. Kael'thas also led 20,000 troops westward to recapture the cities in the northwest that were occupied by the greenskins, namely St. Louis and Sahagen. De Monterrey had been destroyed.

Recovering the lost territory before Bill Barry, the brain of the North, can resume its functions will greatly facilitate Al's efforts to establish influence in these areas and win the hearts of the people.

At the same time, the Eastern Army marched eastwards under the pretext of preventing pirates from harassing the coast in their dying struggle. Every time they passed through a stronghold or city, they would declare the existence of the coalition forces. The regent was majestic, and personnel were stationed in large cities. In small places, special officials were simply selected to serve the coalition forces under the authority of the regent. These areas had already consumed a lot of manpower and material resources to supply the decisive battle between Bilbarry and the greenskins. After the news of the victory of the war came, they all celebrated. At this time, when they saw the legion coming under the banner of the "Royal Army", they did not have any doubts or hesitations at all, and they all welcomed the Eastern Army with the treatment of welcoming a triumphant legion.

Barbatos also played his innate affinity in this process. His androgynous charm attracted a lot of men and women who were willing to serve him, and he officially declared to the northern region:

The authority of the "Coalition-Regency" exists.

Instilling a concept of "Regency - Coalition - Kingdom Orthodoxy" in the minds of northerners will be of great help to Aiel in controlling the situation in the north in the future...

Ultimately, the reason things are so troublesome in the North is because they are not as good as the South.

After the South was plowed by the greenskins, they supported the puppet regime as a tool, which gave Al a very good excuse to clean up and install his own forces.

The North persisted in resisting to the end, and insisted that they were all heroes who had "made contributions to the war of resistance." Al could not act rashly, and he had to have a legitimate reason, a good excuse.

This excuse can only be obtained after the Northern Parliament has sorted out a lot of things in the house and rushes south to fight for power, to seize the throne, and to step into the trap that El has set for them.

Chapter 129: Twin Bunny Girls, Ravendale

Barbatos led the 20,000 people given to her by her father and headed eastward. When Al took the wolf girl to fish for corpse-eating fish on the Thomas River in the bottom of the corpse-drenching area, they passed Barboza and arrived at Aquizzano, which was only one city away from Vizea, the second largest city in the north of Estalia.

This time she went east, her deputies were the bunny sisters. Like the pony Alia, they were considered capable by El (after all, if Hera was also "capable", it seemed that there were not many first-generation offspring whose governance abilities were lower than that of the big wolf girl). They became one of the two candidates for the leader of the newly established legion.

Raven and Dale.

The twins were almost never separated, and Al considered the sisters as one and the same.

I still remember that they were two very quiet and well-behaved little rabbits.

When Al was fishing, he would jump around to pick wild vegetables and flowers for his father, and catch small insects to use as bait. They would all be placed quietly beside Al without asking for credit or showing any kindness.

Very well behaved.

Much better than a certain big-tailed wolf.

However, because they are too quiet and are never apart, Al and the bunny sisters don't interact very much. After all, the twins are very well-behaved, so well-behaved that basically no accidents happen, which makes Al feel that it doesn't matter whether he has a father or not.

Because of his overly silent personality, although he was considered outstanding among his descendants, his prestige was not high. He was even not as good as Hera, who fought every day, led her brothers to fight, led her subordinates to fight, and even fought behind her father's back.

The sense of presence is very low.

Al even recalled that he seemed to have thought of letting the bunny sisters be the fourth legion leader, but he forgot about it when he thought of other things, and finally ordered a vicious (stupid) wolf (dog) in a daze.

After growing up, like her brothers, she was entrusted with various affairs by El to share her father's worries. The Ravendel sisters' calmness, carefulness and meticulous observation were also revealed. The bunny sisters were a pair of agile warriors, inclined towards assassins, and were not good at frontal combat. However, in the battle of offspring, only the two of them teamed up in the forest to eliminate all the troops led by the wolf girl, and they were not even exposed to the enemy for more than two minutes.

In the end, the two of them faced Hera together. Relying on the terrain to hide, they made the latter bite its tail in a hurry, leaving multiple marks on its body representing the damage caused. After being on the verge of being eliminated, they suddenly defeated the two little rabbits.

So Hera made Al feel at ease on this point.

Among her offspring, those who can make her suffer or be defeated are basically capable enough to stand on their own.

It is a whetstone for brothers and sisters.

Later, Ai'er gradually discovered the abilities of the little rabbits. During the military changes of the tribe, a professional scout force called "Servants of Shadow" was established. He appointed the Ravendel sisters as the commanders of this elite army, and they made great contributions to the tribe's conquests.

The term "hard work" is a very broad term. Strictly speaking, any unit in the entire tribal legion deserves this title. However, the rabbit girls did command the scout troops, made many military exploits, and have never met an opponent in their battles.

It's just that because Al now has the blessing given by the Omniscient One, he can always anticipate the enemy's moves, so the work of intelligence seems to be less important.

Otherwise, the advantage of the scout troops is the advantage of intelligence, which is the advantage on the battlefield. By making the enemy blind in one eye, slowing down their brain and deceiving their thinking, we will have more room for maneuver.

Aliya, on the other hand, is relatively more like a warrior. Because she worships the Centaur Girl too much, her own style of behavior is highly COS of El's adoptive mother. It can also be said that Alina, the "grandmother" of all her descendants, has a very high reputation among her descendants.

Having Misha and Barbatos lead the ponies and the bunny girls respectively to advance east and west at the same time is El's last test. He has instructed the eldest daughter and the youngest. The former has the task of conquering the city with Alia, and the other two will be handed over to the ponies to deal with a large number of tasks in order to observe the effectiveness.

Barbatos, on the other hand, is conducting armed parades and peaceful marches, so the bunny girls will try to combine the previous experience of the Ministry of the Interior to set up branches in the north, plant spies, etc., to test their capabilities other than on the battlefield.

If I perform well and satisfy Al...

.......

"Tsk~!"

Riven used her dagger to open the young man's neck, blood splattered, and air began to fill his throat.

The young man raised his hands and struggled for a moment, then fell to the ground dejectedly.

Riven put away the dagger again and hid in the cloak that wrapped her body. Barbatos sat on the chair, looked at the man's body and shook his head.

Soon, the silent servant entered the room, cleaned up the traces and then left.

"The radical elements of the National Salvation Association have fled to the north."

"It's a large-scale transfer of personnel. Given their current condition, it's impossible for all of them to be transported via teleport. They are heading north via that colonial fleet."

Leaning against the bookcase, wearing a cloak, and dressed exactly the same as Riven, you can't even tell which of the two bunny girls is which just by looking at their appearance. Dale expressed her judgment in a calm tone.

"Father asked us to win over as many forces as possible in the North - what should we do if the National Salvation Association causes trouble?" Barbatos suddenly asked, looking at his brothers with a pair of beautiful eyes as clear and blue as the sky.

Dale said nothing and silently drew out the dagger.

Barbatos shook his head slightly and looked towards Riven.

Riven spoke for both of them and expressed their complete thoughts.

"We do our thing, they make trouble, we support them and let them make it bigger."

A smile appeared on Barbatos' face.

After a long time together, she has long been accustomed to the behavior and communication methods of the Rabbit girls. The two parties are in tune with each other and can always serve as each other's mouthpiece. The decision made by one person can be regarded as a common understanding of the two, or a supplement to the other person.

Like the unexpected things that happened on this journey eastward:

The radical members of the Salvation Society, who were under close surveillance by Aiel in the south and made a big fuss about attacking the rescue workers who were treating the victims of the disaster, used some means to leave the southern region under Aiel's strict control and came to the northern country, which they regarded as the "last bastion of resistance in the kingdom" and had not yet fallen and was controlled by either the greenskins or the beastmen.

And began to carry out their anti-tribe, anti-coalition, and anti-Ayr activities here.

Barbatos asked the sisters Raven and Dale how they would deal with the matter. Raven proposed the previous way of dealing with it, and Dale pulling out the dagger represented the final move.

"kill!"

Barbatos can complete Rivendel's method by expanding it a little:

Let the radical elements of the National Salvation Association make trouble, carry out their activities, and even support them in doing things, while expanding and radicalizing the anti-tribal and anti-coalition activities, while the tribe can temporarily swallow their anger and obtain the status of victims;

As in the South, the North's interests have nothing to do with the lower classes, but rather the civilians will benefit. They have not yet been taken over by the coalition forces, which have the deep prestige and advantage of saving the country. The radical elements' basis for making trouble is not the civilians, but only seeking cooperation with the upper and middle classes.

It is entirely possible to proactively create some radical incidents, such as xenophobia, attacks on beastmen, and even hostile attacks on the coalition forces, so that the coalition forces have a reason to intervene in a large-scale manner, and also corrupt the public's view of the National Salvation Association. At the same time, by supporting the National Salvation Association or not, it is also possible to identify which are the staunch traditional royalists, which are the neutral parties who are on the sidelines, and which have a positive attitude towards the coalition forces, and even regard them as "orthodox" loyal chairs, or loyal fists.

"So......"

Barbatos stood up, walked in front of Dale, and stretched out his hands like lightning!

He grabbed the bunny girl, whose body only reached below her chest, picked her up, and held her in front of him.

"I'll leave this matter up to you guys!"

"I still have a difficult task assigned by my father. This time it's a test for you. It doesn't matter if I let anything slip. Just do your best!" Barbatos rubbed the girl's head and lifted his cloak, revealing the delicate and cute little face hiding behind the shadows.

“Really... such a beautiful girl, why does she have to learn from Kael'thas and wear a cloak all day long?” In fact, she is only a few days older than her “brothers”, and they are exactly the same age. It’s just because of the innate racial talent that one of them looks tall and handsome, while the other two will be mistaken for rabbit girls pretending to be gloomy, or even lolita, as soon as they show their faces.

Barbatos put his face close to Dale's and rubbed it against the bunny girl's cute little face, which was expressionless and calm. Finally, the latter's expression changed a little and a blush appeared on her face. Then he laughed, put Dale down, and turned to walk out of the room.

Suddenly, he saw Riven seemed to make some movement under her cloak, as if she raised her hand, so he ran over as if he remembered something, hugged the twin sons, and did the same thing, hugging them high and close to each other, and then left with satisfaction and joy as if he had completed some sacred mission.

The bunny girls stayed where they were and looked at each other. Suddenly, they all raised their hands and touched each other's cheeks. It was like looking in the mirror. Riven and Dale were highly consistent in appearance, expression and actions.

【Walk】

【it is good】

【Begin preparation】

【Walk】

A silent exchange took place between the two, and then the bunny girl walked almost side by side, opened the door, entered the corridor, left the empty room and the light that was still faithfully illuminating the room, and left quietly.

Chapter 130: Now is Barbatos' time!

The Eastern Expedition went smoothly. Barbatos, Riven and the sisters Dale led their legions all the way to Vizea, which was the second largest city in the north of the entire Kingdom of Estalia. The Northern Parliament's previously evacuated personnel were destined for this city. According to their plan, if Bilbarri unfortunately fell, Vizea would have to shoulder the final responsibility of the war of resistance.

Vizea is close to its neighboring country Carcassonne. The distance from Vizea to the Bretonnian border is less than one-third of the distance to Birbarry. If you ride a horse day and night, you can reach Carcassonne in at most three days.
