Terra Martial God and Merit System

No problem....The other person looks no more than 20 years old. He is actually....the lord of a moving city?

"Sorry... I'm curious..." The man swallowed, "The lords of the mobile cities in Ursus all have titles, right..."

"I am the Earl." Luo Chen was a little impatient, "Just take a good rest, don't ask me questions."

"Oh my God....You are the Count?" The other party was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "Count?"

Not only him, but other prisoners were also frightened by the news.

They whispered to each other, as if they didn't believe it.

Luo Chen simply said - "I am Count Ursus, and I am here to save you. Just take a good rest, I will not hurt you."

The prisoners soon calmed down and were even vaguely excited.

What they are most worried about is that they will just escape but fall into another trap.

But Luo Chen was so gentle and promised not to hurt them.

If it were anyone else, they might not believe it, but this was a promise from an earl.

Without Luo Chen saying much, these people immediately quieted down.

Luo Chen asked them and found out that this was not the only prison.

There are many such prisons in the desert towns, big and small. Many prisoners' families are deliberately separated and sent to different prisons.

Luo Chen felt that those who imprisoned them should not have sold these slaves.

I still have a chance to save them.

"I will rescue them." Luo Chen stood up and promised.

He asked Hamblin to continue to stabilize the order of the town and cooperate with Lavinia in arresting the remaining landlord forces and Lin Yuxia's financial inventory.

Luo Chen himself immediately returned to the city and found Tallulah.

"How many more people can we accept?" Luo Chen asked as soon as he saw Tallulah.

"Receive?" Tallulah was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

"There are some disaster victims." Luo Chen said simply, "I can't let them freeze to death. Kamsike must accept these people."

"Let me think..." Tallulah took out a statistical sheet.

"We need housing and food to receive the victims. As for our food...well, thanks to potato planting, it won't be a problem for the time being."

"It's just that there's a problem with the housing. After all, there are still many people living in tents in the slums."

"Can't it be built on site?" Luo Chen asked.

"It's too cold now. We can't even mix the concrete." Talulah was a little helpless. "We can only use Originium techniques to assist in construction."

"But right now.....there aren't many mages in our city."

"There was no reply to the letter I sent before..." Luo Chen muttered to himself.

He had previously sent letters to RemBit, Columbia, and Kazdel, all with the goal of finding a qualified construction team.

Khalid simply provides building materials, and their construction capabilities can only be considered average.

Luo Chen had already prepared to build a large-scale project in the city of Kamsco.

"Not yet. But you'd better not hold your hopes too high." Tallulah shook her head. "It's snowing heavily recently. The person you're looking for may not be able to come..."

"Okay, let's not discuss this issue for now." Luo Chen thought about it and felt that the prisoners could temporarily live in the landlord's mansion.

It's not only spacious but also warm.

The housing problem was solved in this way. But Luo Chen knew that this was only a temporary solution.

"Where's Hellagur? I have something to talk to him about." Luo Chen hurried to find Hellagur again.

When we found him, he was frowning at the existing map of Kamsco's city walls, and he kept writing and drawing on it.

"What are you doing?" Luo Chen asked.

Herag looked up and saw Luo Chen's figure. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. His intuition told him that something was going to happen.

He calmed himself and saluted Luo Chen, "City Lord, I am checking the city defense of Kamsko."

"so?"

"Due to lack of maintenance, the entire mobile city is in a terrible condition." Herag sighed, "Everywhere needs to be repaired. Our core city also needs to be overhauled."

"Are you suddenly concerned about this?" Luo Chen couldn't help but ask.

"Uh..." Herag was silent for a moment, "My main duty is to be the city defense commander - ah. Lord, what are you doing here this time?"

"Something." Luo Chen nodded, "Gather all the troops, we have work to do."

"?" A puzzled expression appeared on Herag's face. "City Lord, who did you offend this time?"

"What do you mean by provoking someone...they deserve to die." Luo Chen was somewhat helpless, "I will find a time to correct your ideological errors."

“…”

"Don't worry too much this time, it's mainly a practice." Luo Chen continued, "We have a lot of enemies, maybe they won't even be able to fight head-on and will flee immediately."

"City Lord, please tell us who it is first." Herag said.

"The landlords and gentry around Kamsk," Luo Chen replied, "They exploit the peasants and do all kinds of evil. I will kill them all now. No one will be spared."

"It is our duty to fight." Herag nodded slightly, "Since you, Lord, have given the order, we will set off immediately."

"It's just that... City Lord, have you ever thought about one thing?"

"what?"

"A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. These country gentlemen have been able to survive in the town for so long and have their own huge foundation. This is not something that ordinary people can do."

"Uprooting them will inevitably affect other innocent people..."

“A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake... hehe..." Luo Chen suddenly laughed, then he put away his expression and his eyes gradually became serious.

"If you can't defeat a local snake, you're not a 'powerful dragon'. At best, you're just another snake."

"We have the power to crush the other side, so why not use it?"

"What about those innocent villagers..."

"General!" Luo Chen interrupted him, "You still don't understand. The gentry don't actually have strong control over the town. Their rule relies on violence, which is completely unsustainable."

"Only by standing on the side of the people..."

Luo Chen told Herag a lot and said he would give him a schedule, but he didn't seem to understand it.

Even though Hellagur tried hard to understand.

However, it is still too troublesome to change the inherent thinking of an elderly person.

Luo Chen was a little unhappy. His own strength had improved, but he was still not satisfied with the growth rate of his subordinates.

Hellagur was still somewhat worried about the Ursus army, as Lavinia was still some distance away from being the judge that Luo Chen had in mind.

Lin Yuxia was in a confused state, and in Luo Chen's opinion, all she needed was a push.

Desiree was obsessed with legal editing, but after Luo Chen read the articles, he felt that they were too rigid and not down-to-earth.

Tallulah was the person that Luo Chen had the greatest hope for, and she lived up to his expectations. Luo Chen was very satisfied with her handling of various matters, but she was not very mature.

"Maybe I can give them some lessons." Luo Chen thought.

After he practiced meditation, his memories of his past life became clearer.

No matter what, Luo Chen was a serious undergraduate student in his previous life.

He still knew some of the things he should learn, especially the various knowledge points that needed to be memorized.

Although his practical ability is almost zero, he still has the ability to express theories.

He has theories and his subordinates are capable.

Luo Chen felt that such a combination would definitely play a huge role.

In particular, it can help them to undergo some ideological transformation.

At least when facing disaster victims, soldiers cannot stand there stupidly and motionless.

The work of the military is not just about war...at least not for Luo Chen.

........

time flies.

The city defense army's surprise attack was very effective. Herag came according to Luo Chen's plan.

Luo Chen's plan was simple - first arrest people, then open the warehouses to release grain, attract all the townspeople, and finally judge and behead them.

With this simple arrangement, Hellagur found that the opponent's resistance was almost non-existent.

Even after they captured several towns, other townspeople who heard the news began to help them lead the way.

Hellagur had never fought such a comfortable battle in his life.

This kind of clearing mission is actually similar to a public security war.

If those gentry hide, they will fall into the quagmire.

Hellagur had been involved in many similar battles, and the final result was always heavy casualties. Even if he could win, it was a pyrrhic victory.

Luo Chen's plan just avoids this risk.

A series of actions brought the oppressed townspeople to his side, and the seemingly powerful gentry was easily exposed like a paper tiger.

Of course, some bad things happened along the way.

For example, crazy townspeople forcibly broke into the battlefield in order to seek revenge, which resulted in chaos and even the death of innocent people.

Hellager wrote in his notes:

'The benefits of winning over the civilian population far exceeded my imagination. Not only did it make the battle go more smoothly, but it also greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.'

"When the farmers who received the food expressed their gratitude to the soldiers, I could feel the boys' spirits changed."

'Of course, it is worth noting that during a formal battle, any civilians should be prevented from entering the war zone. Otherwise, a great deal of chaos will occur.......'

Helag is not stupid, after all, he is a former general. He is very sensitive to military theories.

Although he was not interested in politics before, Helag now keenly realizes that politics can have an impact beyond imagination in war.

The catalyst that promotes this effect lies in Luo Chen.

How did Luo Chen do it? How did he use this method so skillfully?

Hellagur was very curious.

After the town was returned to Kamsko's rule and all the prisoners were rescued, Luo Chen immediately issued a new order -

'All senior officers of Kamsco must attend a week-long training.'

Just as Luo Chen was preaching a theory that had never appeared in this world to his men, the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared.

A RemBitto construction team, a Columbia university student, and a fully armed Sarkaz mercenary.

Chapter 99: Shana's Engineering Team

"Hey, the boss is usually so steady, why did he suddenly take on this job?"

"I have only met one foreman as good as you in all my years of work."

"Yeah.... But then again, do you know why the boss came here at this time?"

"I heard that she read the latest issue of Steel Impressions magazine and suddenly asked our entire team to come. To be honest, this is my first time away from REM Billiton. I heard that there are quite a few mines in Ursus... I wonder what the difference is between their workers and ours."

It was snowing heavily, and two workers were sitting in a car, chatting occasionally.

"But have you heard? Our employer this time seems to be unusual..."

"When I stopped to rest, I went to the Ursus Tavern and heard a lot of news. I heard that the count likes to eat brains raw and has to kill a hundred people a day before he can fall asleep."

"They also said that he slept in a coffin and that he took a bath every day not with water but with the blood of young girls."

"This is just a rumor, can you really believe it?"
