Alien Knights

Chapter 175: The king and his courtiers

Turning his attention to Alfonso, who was in charge of defense and training, Todd asked: "The size of the kingdom's army, what is the current situation?"

Alfonso, who was not wearing a helmet, let the parasite limbs stretch and tremble. He picked up a document and read aloud: "After the knight canonization ceremony, a total of 116 knights have been added to the Musi Knights. The knights formed a reorganized knight wing; we also have 451 sergeants, enough to form a heavy infantry regiment, a light cavalry regiment, and an archer regiment; if your majesty, you issue an emergency mobilization order, we can also recruit about 1,100 Farmers and soldiers."

Todd took down these numbers and looked at Rachel again: "What about the alien army and configuration?"

Since there is no need to conceal her identity, Rachel took off the large nun’s robe and put on the grass-green dress again. She looked at the upper king and slowly said: “The breeding of'keel bones' can basically satisfy all knights. As for the army’s heterogeneous abilities, in addition to the existing charge type "Knight Heir", melee type "Warrior Heir" and scout type "Scout Heir". We have recently tried to form two experimental heterogeneous combat. Squad..."

"One is the "Heir to the Ballista". These alien species with "Eagle Eye", "Rock", "Strength Enhancement", "Precision Enhancement", and "Condensing Light" can carry special small ballistas weighing up to 60 kilograms. Back on their bodies and move with the army. At the beginning of the war, they will occupy favorable terrain, set up small ballistas, and find commanders and leaders in the enemy's troops, use the "concentration" ability to calibrate the gun line, and then Adjust according to the ballistic ruler issued by Muxi Academy, and finally kill the target."

"The other is the "Elemental Inheritors". They generally have elemental abilities such as "Grease", "Wind Pressure", "Flame Breath", and "Soil Liquefaction." Worried about accidental injury, they will choose to stop attacking. But they are different, over the top of our soldiers, or from the feet of our troops, use their abilities to directly attack the enemy in battle, and give our soldiers a certain advantage."

Todd nodded and turned his attention to Mary.

Even if she took off the palace costume, the woman who was once a queen, regardless of her appearance, conversation and temperament, was the most special existence in the entire conference hall. Rachel, who had just finished speaking, glanced at Mary with a complicated expression.

"Thanks to the monks, alien species, and the college for their help, and thanks to the invention of cement and concrete, the construction of Muxi Cathedral is progressing very smoothly. The main foundation and load-bearing pillars have been basically completed. The upcoming winter period is removed. It is expected that the cathedral next year It will be officially completed in May. Your... Your Majesty..." Suddenly she said the word, Mary suddenly remembered something, and she paused in her speech: "About the cathedral, there is one thing, I hope to get your consent... "

Todd nodded slightly, motioned but said it was OK.

"Regarding the frescoes and ceiling paintings of the cathedral, a former student of the Royal Academy of the Papal States hopes to collaborate with his friends to complete these paintings."

Todd asked with interest: "Isn't we supposed to invite the old painters for the frescoes in the church? Can the students' painting skills meet the requirements?"

Mary said with certainty: "This student named Elijah, although he is less than 30 years old, was once called by his teachers and classmates in the fields of architecture, physics, natural science, painting, etc. He is a genius. I think he is fully capable of this task, so I hereby recommend him to you."

Rachel looked casually rolling her hair with her fingers. Hearing Mary say "recommend", he glanced at her, lowered his head, and gently tugged at his hair.

Todd heard what Mary said, and just wanted to ask, and saw this Elijah, who was called a "genius", but after thinking about it, he decided to see if this student really had real talents: "Let’s do it. , Leave the work of the frescoes and ceiling paintings of the cathedral to Elijah and his friends. When the work is completed, I will personally go to see their masterpieces."

Watching Todd turn her face in the other direction, Mary sat back in her seat somewhat disappointed.

"Joe, it's your turn. I want to ask, Muxizhen is now..."

"uh-huh! 』

Before Todd could finish speaking, Cumberland coughed out of breath.

The former rolled his eyes and continued: "...How about the planning and architecture of the kingdom now?"

The monk Joe stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the registered population of Muxicheng is 11,287. If you count the surrounding refugees and tourists without resident status, the population of Muxicheng may exceed 25,000. The urban area has now expanded to 21 square kilometers, divided into three major areas: the inner circle, the middle ring, and the outer ring."

"The inner circle is the core area of ​​the kingdom, where the commercial, administrative, and military centers are all located here; the middle ring is the main gathering place for residents, including port areas, residential areas, living areas, entertainment areas, etc.; the outer ring is where production and processing gather Land, including industry, agriculture, handicrafts, animal husbandry, etc. Now, outside of the outer ring, Muxicheng still has an area that has not been paid attention to, generally called the "immigrant area." War refugees came from all directions He and other famous tourists are not eligible to be registered as residents because they have no money to buy real estate in Muxi City. They secretly put up shacks and earthen houses outside the city, enter Muxi City during the day to look for work, and then go home to rest in the city at night. The management of the Kingdom may be a hidden danger."

Todd tapped the wood of the handrail lightly with his fingers, thinking about the question raised by the monk in his mind. No matter what dynasty or country, how to deal with the poor is always a thorny issue. How to digest and expand the population margins of the kingdom is indeed a daunting challenge for the king.

Qiao continued: "Since the beginning of the year, Muxi City has built commercial buildings such as the Big Market and Exchange, cultural buildings such as theaters, open-air stages, and the Literary Plaza, and educational buildings such as the printing plant, Muxi College, and the library. The headquarters of the Knight Order , Training grounds, military depots and other military buildings."

"In the future, according to the city's plan, a three-kilometer diversion canal will be built first. The water source comes from the Falling Star Mountains. Once completed, it will solve the drinking water problem of the tens of thousands of people in the city, and there will be no need to fight for the few wells. Water; then the port and the shipyard. Having said that, I hope to thank the Valkyries of the North Island."

Todd was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to thank the Valkyrie North Island for building the port and shipyard?"

"It is precisely because Muxicheng has accepted the Valkyrie, those North Island talents are willing to fully disclose the shipbuilding technology and port construction technology. Your Majesty, when it comes to shipbuilding, we, who have not touched the ocean for a long time, have fallen far behind other countries. This time Thanks to the mediation of the Valkyries, the North Island talents are willing to help us build the port and shipyard so readily."

Sitting at the bottom, Huggins also said to Todd at this time: "The leader of the Valkyrie, Brunhild, also expressed to me that he hopes to be able to participate in the next battle. In her own words, In this way, her body will rust and rot together with her sword."

Todd smiled, and the tall, heroic, and beautiful silver-haired woman appeared in front of him.

"Finally, we plan to build a stadium for the residents to use." After saying this, Joe sat back, only to find that Todd was looking at him, not intending to divert his eyes at all.

The monk stammered and said, "Your Majesty... why do you... look at me like this...?"

Todd rubbed his temples with his hands, and said with a headache: "I asked you to build a building in the past. At that time, because of insufficient funds, the plan was temporarily stranded. Why don't you start construction now?!"

The monk scratched his head, and suddenly realized after a moment: "Oh! You are talking about... a public bath!"

"Yes! Tell me, Joe, how long have you not taken a shower?!"

Hearing Todd's question~lightnovelpub.net~ The monk blurted out: "Three weeks, and a few more days, it will be a month!"

Seeing the smug look on this guy's face, Todd really wanted to take off his 38-size shoes, chirp, and pat the other's 42-size face!

"Build the diversion channel first, and then build the public bath! Did you hear that?!" Todd gave a rare expression of anger, and patted the handrail hard.

The monk shrank his head: "Your Majesty, as you wish."

Todd retracted his gaze and looked at the people in the chamber again, and found that the Southern Scholar Kendy was not among them.

Kendy has a special status. He is both the son of a nobleman in the southern empire and a pagan believer in religious wars. Although Todd is a king, it is not convenient for him to hold kingdom positions or attend meetings.

"If you have nothing to report, then go and work on your own." Todd waved his hand and stood up from the throne. Watched by a crowd of people, he walked to the curtain at the back of the hall, and while the surrounding cloth blocked his view, he grinned and rubbed his already numb **** and thigh. (https://)
