    The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the earth.

    From time to time, a few Mukels can be seen flying by in the sky, and the setting sun reflects them dark red.

    In the dilapidated and desolate slums of Lizhi City, a large open space has been cleared at this time.

    A large number of carpenters were busy in the open space, building extremely simple wooden houses, densely packed together, like a beehive.

    Mila was sitting at the wooden table under the window, earnestly correcting official documents. Her white hair with shawls was also dyed a touch of dark red under the setting sun. At this time, her delicate face was solemn and slightly sad.

    Chief Knight Kevin, Finance Officer Jonson, Sheriff Richardthe Lord's confidantes stood quietly aside.

    Slowly putting down the official document in her hand, Mira sighed slowly.

    "An eroded monster appeared near the Guixu cave."

    Kevin frowned slightly. Although he had already expected this situation, he didn't expect it to come so soon.

    Especially now that the heavy snow in winter has not yet fallen, if those monsters eroded by gray fog attack this winter, the damage to the villages outside Lizhi City will be devastating.

    "It seems that we have to arrange for the evacuation of the people outside the Black Forest to Lizhi City in advance."

    The knight fell silent. Although he really wanted to say that the Knights of Lizhi City would stop those monsters eroded by the gray fog in the Black Forest, but thinking of the scale of the winter beast swarm this time, his words became a single word when he reached his mouth.  ,"good."

    "How is the construction of the temporary residence for the slum residents?" Mira continued to ask.

    Although she has long wanted to move all the citizens outside the city to Lizhi City, but in order to accommodate so many people, there must be enough land, houses, food and other daily consumption.

    If all the citizens of Lizhi City were really moved to Lizhi City to spend the whole winter, the current Lizhi City would definitely be dragged down, so they could only move these villagers here when the beast tide of returning to the ruins appeared.

    And this is also the main reason why she will issue a gag order. If some minor nobles, merchants or commoners in the territory know about the beast tide returning to the ruins, it will definitely cause huge chaos.

    Especially those villagers near the Black Forest who bear the brunt, in order to prepare for the upcoming battle, Lizhi City needs the taxes and fruits planted by these villagers, as well as other large strategic resources.

    This time it was Jonson, the financial officer, who answered the lord. He thought about his words: "The houses for the temporary residence are already under construction, but it is still difficult to accommodate all the villagers."

    "I suggest that the leaders in the northeast corner of the territory near the Guixu cave be moved to Lizhi City first. Even if the Guixu beast tide breaks out in other places, there is still enough time for the leaders to migrate."

    "Such relocation in batches can also reduce the pressure on Lizhi City. In order to cope with this wave of beasts returning to the ruins, Lizhi City's finances are still very tight. It is impossible for Lizhi City to support the relocation of the people too early."

    Hearing what the financial officer said, the ministers of Lizhi City in the field all nodded slightly at once, obviously agreeing with his suggestion very much.

    "Besides, we still have to conceal the beast horde, just like it was five years ago." Sheriff Pi Richard also said at this time.

    With a large number of citizens entering Lizhi City, it will definitely cause some chaos in the city, which in itself will greatly increase the difficulty of management for the magistrates.

    If the citizens were to know about the beast tide returning to the ruins, it would spread fear in a wide range, which would definitely further deepen the chaos in the city.

    Jonson agreed with the magistrate's words, and he added:

    "Concealing the beast tide in Guixu is also of great benefit to the reconstruction after the beast tide. Otherwise, after learning of the danger of the Guixu cave, it is very likely that a large number of villagers will flee the territory and go to the nearby Meteorite City or Binhai City.  "

    Mira also nodded with a serious face. For a lord, a large number of subjects are needed to develop the territory, and the loss of subjects is fatal to any lord, especially those free folk who have special skills.

    "Then let's relocate the villagers from the northeast territory of Lizhi City to the city first. The Knights of Lizhi City, the Finance Department and the Magistrate's Court must make corresponding arrangements for this." Mira made the final decision.

    Just as they continued to discuss the details of resettling the villagers, they suddenly heard an attendant knocking at the door.

    "Deputy Captain Todd is back?" Hearing the attendant's report, several people present looked at each other with some doubts on their faces.

    Logically speaking, now?The deputy leader Todd should lead the Knights to hunt and kill the monsters in the territory. Has the hunting mission been completed so quickly?  Maybe something happened during the hunt?

    Standing at the gate of the castle, Captain Todd's mood was also very complicated at this time, and he was still thinking about the failure of the Knights to attack Chengguo Village this time.

    Although Aiwen said that this time the matter was all on the nobles, leaving the Knights behind.

    But after all, it involves nobles, and if something happens to these nobles in the knight order, the knight order itself will be under great pressure.

    In addition, if he reported this matter according to Aiwen and attributed all the responsibilities to those nobles, then whether he wanted to or not, the Knights would be regarded as standing on the opposite side of these nobles together with Chengguo Village.

    He felt that Aiwen suppressed the large army of the Knights and asked him to bring the Knights back to Lizhi City to report the situation. This meant that he had no other way out.

    Just when Captain Todd was still thinking about how to deal with this matter, he saw the attendant knight in the castle coming quickly, expressing that the lord wanted to meet him immediately.

    Phew, let's wait for the lord to deal with everything Todd breathed out a sigh of relief, and quickly walked towards the castle's study.

    After entering the study, Todd immediately performed a standard knight salute, and then looked at Kevin, Jonson and others in the study, feeling a lot more relaxed in his heart, the lord's confidantes are all here, so  It couldn't be better.

    "Captain Todd, why are you back?" Mira asked Todd below with a solemn face.

    Just now, he saw that the knight's face was full of uncontrollable fatigue, and the armor on his body looked very messy. Obviously, he came here directly without any rest along the way.

    ps: I will be going to Sanjiang this week or next week, and the follow-up reading is enough. I hope that book friends will support the follow-up reading in the past two days. If you miss the follow-up reading, you may not be ranked.

    In addition, the editor applied for me to recommend the small speaker on the homepage. I need to control the number of words, so I can only update one chapter before Thursday. Here, I would like to apologize to the book friends. After the recommendation is arranged, I will update it three times a day.  Made it up, sorry sorry.

    After Sanjiang, it will be put on the shelves directly. It should be before August 20th. I will notify you in advance. I promised that I will add ten chapters to Sanjiang.  Looking at the first order and adding updates, there are already a lot of drafts here, I hope everyone can support it.  </div&gt
