Back at No. 158 Qingsong Street, Qiao pretended to be sick and stayed in the door.

After struggling for so long, Qiao, who was a little exhausted, slept until the afternoon, washed it clean, changed into a new uniform, and then became energetic again and came to the restaurant with great enthusiasm.

Old Mrs. Mary has left.

Her excuse is reasonable - Qiao has invested in the old grandmother's tavern, and has bought the shop of his neighbor next door, and is expanding and renovating the original tavern. Old Mrs. Mary is going to watch the scene and decorate the new tavern with her own aesthetic.

In addition to architectural style, there are many things to do in a tavern.

Pots, pans, maids, bartenders, even ovens, and even supply channels for chickens, ducks, lambs, suckling pigs and big geese after the expansion all require the management of Old Lady Mary himself.

So, Old Lady Mary left.

She left Joe with more than a dozen cooks with her skillful style. Although these cooks carefully cooked foods, although they are not as hot as Old Lady Mary, they are also delicious.

In just one quarter of an hour, a roasted suckling pig, three roasted geese, more than thirty oil-sealed duck legs, seven or eight large elbows, and a large amount of mashed potatoes mixed with shredded sauerkraut, Qiao burped in satisfaction and gently patted her belly.

"Mr. Si Gengsi, I will give you a task." Qiao looked at Mr. Si Gengsi who was sitting aside and quietly looked at him eating and drinking: "I have brought a batch of sixth-level potions from Your Highness. Anyone who meets the conditions and is loyal to the family can use it... Well, look, find a way to send half of the family to the family."

"The remaining half, Lan Mujin and Lan Platycodon have been taken, and Uncle Ya has also taken it, and there is still a share of twelve spoils. Look, pick out the most suitable candidates and let them use them as soon as possible."

"Also, before they use the potion, they need to sign a contract with the old man Metiga. This matter will be connected by you."

Mr. Si Gengsi stood up with a serious expression and nodded to Qiao solemnly.

Thirty sixth-level potions!

This will be a "significant" increase for the strength of the Vitu family!

Well, the increase is 'not small', but it is only a 'not small' increase. As the core veteran member of the Weitu family, Mr. Si Gengsi has a much more understanding of the Weitu family than Joe and even Gorkin.

After pondering for a moment, Mr. Si Gengsi said to Qiao very seriously: "Joe, we have no proper way to send these potions back to Tulun Port... Moreover, this also involves the issue of signing the so-called contract with His Excellency Metiga."

Qiao stretched out his hand and patted his forehead heavily. He sighed as if he suddenly realized: "Ah...so...yes, that contract can't people run from Tulun Port to the imperial capital?"

Mr. Si Gengsi nodded with a smile, and suggested: "So, all thirty potions should be used in the imperial capital. You do need a group of stronger and more loyal subordinates around you. Haven't you noticed? The problems you... are getting more and more troublesome and more dangerous?"

Rolling his eyes, stood up, patted his belly hard, and Joe shouted: "Fort Heidra, it's such a bad place... You're right, okay, let the guys around me use this batch of potions."

Frowning, Qiao said in a deep voice: "Loyalty is the first condition. As for strength... If someone does not meet the conditions for using the sixth level potion, it doesn't matter. Look for old man Metiga. He has purification potion and the entire sequence of the Great Everglade Shadow Wolf potion, which can help the guys go to the right path."

"Let them use the sixth-level potion as soon as possible... I have the prescription of Oriental Secret Medicine here. You can purchase materials and configure them to make everyone's strength stronger as quickly as possible."

Qiao and Mr. Si Gengsi talked for a long time, and then entrusted the sixth-level abyss six-eyed corroding demon wolf potion to Mr. Si Gengsi to handle it.

After eating and drinking, Qiao, who wanted to hide at No. 158 Qingsong Street in the short term and no longer gets involved in the outside world, carried his hands behind his back and walked around the wall of No. 158 Qingsong Street twice. He came to the three-story villa assigned to Ferdinand.

Around the small villa, there are a large number of palace knights in open and secret place.

On the roof, behind the two large chimneys of two fireplaces, two Hydra Secret Guards stood, leaning against the chimney, holding monoculars, and looking around.

In the first floor lobby, six Hydra Secret Guards were scattered in several corners of the hall, like statues, without any breath on them.

Joe nodded to them, then followed the stairs and walked up the second floor.

The second floor of this small villa is a room with simple furnishings that can be over a thousand square feet. The walls are full of maps of various precisions. In the middle of the room is a square table that accounts for almost half of the room, and is filled with colorful and extremely delicately polished sand and dust.

Ferdinand was wearing a greasy pink nightgown, a wrinkled pink green pajama pants, and a pair of dirty pink and blue velvet slippers. His hair was messy on his head, his hands were stuck in his waist, and he was standing in front of a map several feet square in a daze.

This is a complete map of the terrain of the Delun Empire.

Ferdinand stared at the map for a long time. He took out a red fountain pen from his nightgown pocket and smeared it hard on the map.

He muttered some nouns and numbers that were a little confused when Qiao heard it.

"The gray animals in Lucia...mobilized over a month...two million is guaranteed...three million...four million...every million...it's possible..."

"Their logistics supply is a problem...so, they should not wait for other countries to launch, they will take the initiative to provoke the war... and start war early."

"Lulai Plain..."

From the direction of the Lucian Empire, from northeast to southwest, several blood-colored arrows penetrated hard into the tender green Lulai Plain on the map.

"But even if four million gray animals can have most of them cold weapons... and if there are 500,000 old-style clamps, flintlocks, and one thousand old-style small-caliber bronze cannons, this is the ultimate... one thousand? No, eight hundred!"

"As long as you keep the walls clear and the fields are clear, and you will survive for half a month... no, ten days, these gray animals will collapse."

"So, there are certain elite field legions on the Lulai Plain, and cooperate with the local garrison troops, which is enough to deal with the barbarians in Lucia..."

Ferdinand tilted his head and looked at the map for a long time. He drew a bloody arrow from west to east in the direction of Lanyin Corridor. He stared at the map for a while, and then drew two arrows from the south and north of Lanyin Corridor to point directly to the hinterland of the northwest provinces of the empire.

"Twelve years ago, under the insistence of the Republic of Gaul, or under threat, three east-west and west-west trunk lines that ran across the continent started construction... Three years ago, the northern and middle lines of the three east-west trunk lines had been completed."

"The north line directly reaches the western exit of the Lanyin Corridor, and the eastern terminal of the central line is only 300 miles away from the western exit of the Lanyin Corridor. Moreover, there are also railway lines connecting the two places."

"Considering the mobilization ability of the Gallic Republic...their habitual internal struggles...the extreme transportation capacity of the Northern and Central Lines...300,000, the Gallic Republic, before the outbreak of the war, could hoard up to 300,000 elite troops in the western part of the Lanyin Corridor."

"This is just a punishment local and high-intensity war, not a war to destroy the country. With the character of the Gauls, 300,000... is the ultimate they can mobilize."

"But, those Gauls' dog legs...how many people can they mobilize?"

"It is impossible to estimate that these guys... ideally, they are still afraid of the empire's reputation. They will send thousands of people to assist in the battles perfunctorily; the worst is that they do not want the empire to return to the hinterland of Medland. They will use most of their troops to cooperate with the Gauls."

"Then, from two hundred thousand to two million is possible."

"And, the hinterland of Medland is a place of battle, and the combat effectiveness of every kingdom and every principality cannot be underestimated. Moreover, only their standing army is considered, and their subsequent mobilization capabilities are not considered..."

"Also, the productivity of the military industry of these countries... no, no, it will not reach this point. A small punitive war will be enough to dispatch a part of the standing army."

"The ordnance level of these small countries is probably the level of the empire twenty years ago."

"Most of the cold weapons, some archers, some crossbowmen, a small number of mesh guns and old bronze cannons... Even if there are some extraordinary ancient equipment, they will definitely not be able to use it."

"So, the main threat is the 300,000 elite troops in Gaul."

"The most advanced flintlock rifle, the most advanced field gun...but considering the fighting spirit of the Gauls, the fighting will."

"These 300,000 people are not very threatening."

Ferdinand raised his hands and looked at the bloody arrows rushing down from the two plateaus north and south of the Lanyin Corridor on the map.

"Plateau Tribal Alliance...oh, no, Plateau Kingdom!"

"I call myself an empress, but because of my national strength and civilization level, the Medlands continent reluctantly admits that she is a queen... Little mother-wolf!"

"Joe, this is a variable."

"This little widow who has been favored by the wolf king Wall, unified the plateau wolf temple and major tribes, evolved from a tribal alliance to a kingdom, is a cruel and greedy vicious-mother-mother!"

"This time, she will never miss this opportunity easily."

"We, even the Gauls, and even the kingdoms and principalities on the west side of the Lanyin Corridor, may become her targets."

"But this also gives us a chance."

"If we can convince her, if we can help her seize a fertile land on the west side of the Lanyin Corridor, with abundant resources, and there are about three or five provinces as large as the territory..."

"This little mother-wolf will definitely join forces with us without hesitation to kill the 300,000 elite pits of the Gauls in the Lanyin Corridor."

"Do you think Salian would think of this?"

Joe stood at the door and looked at Ferdinand in amazement.

The things Ferdinand was nagging just now... seemed to be completely incompatible with him.
Chapter completed!
