Chapter 108
A day later.
This time because most of the civilians stayed in Siganshina.
Lin Yan’s group was traveling much faster than when they came before.
The crowd once again returned to the pioneering area inside the Rosse Wall.
Picis and Erwin went directly to the royal capital.
I want to use the victory of this war to seek the support of the main war faction in the kingdom.
In a valley.
It is a valley plain with fields that have been carved out between several hills.
But at this moment, the crops in the field have long been harvested.
“Alan, why haven’t they come back yet, Commander.”
“Listen to the logistics unit, the regiment commander will arrive soon.”
Alan and Armin stood on the side of the road, looking intently at the intersection in the distance.
His face was full of anticipation and anxiety.
Except for them, all the newcomers to the hunter group stood on the side of the road waiting for Lin Yan’s return.
After hearing the news that the hunters had recaptured the Wall of Maria.
For two people who have lived in the Siganshina region since childhood.
At this moment, the worship of Lin Yan has reached an incomparable point.
Therefore, when the two heard the news that Lin Yan was about to return, the two waited at the intersection before dawn.
“Back, the regimental commander is back!”
Suddenly everyone in the crowd became excited.
In the distance, Lin Yan and his horse were present, leading the hunter group to gallop from a distance.
On the field of a horse flat river, a long dust smoke screen was drawn.
Looking at the core members of the hunter group who quickly entered the valley, Alan and Armin looked at each other.
Immediately said his thoughts with tacit understanding and a resolute tone:
“I want to be like the head of the regiment.”
“Me too.”
。。。。。。
A day later.
Royal Capital.
Inside the walls of Sheena.
Picis and Erwin and Keith sat in a hidden attic.
“What are they trying to do?”
“The words of the commander of the Investigation Corps and the Supreme Commander of the Southern Garrison Corps also need to be doubted?”
“No, I’ll go see the king now, I want to ask him what he means.”
After listening to what happened to Pisis and Erwin today, Keith became excited.
He was extremely dissatisfied with the practices of Parliament and the royal family.
Those who should be called heroes are expected to be called heroes, but those who are admired by all are subject to suspicion.
Watching Keith excitedly pull out his gun and about to go out, Erwin pulled him along.
“They are dragging on time, and the more people who survive, the heavier their losses.”
“For this matter, we and Lin Yan have long had a plan to deal with it, you just need to cooperate with us.”
Listening to Erwin’s suppressed anger, Keith reluctantly put away his gun.
He was extremely disappointed in the royal family and the nobility.
Tax exemption for three years, half of the property, Keith also knows.
At first, the royal family and nobles tried to persuade more people to participate in this reconquest war.
It was hyped throughout the kingdom, so this matter has long been known to everyone.
However, what Keith did not expect was that the nobles and royal family would want to reduce their losses by delaying the death of some more people.
Not to mention a month’s time, I’m afraid that 200,000 people outside the city will die in half a month.
Occupied by giants for a year, the outside of the walls has long been turned into a wasteland.
I couldn’t find any food at all.
“In any case, I am on the side of justice.”
“You need my cooperation, just say it.”
Hearing Keith’s words, Pisis and Erwin nodded and began to reveal part of the plan to Keith.
For the sake of confidentiality, the two acted strictly in accordance with the caution that Lin Yan had previously confessed.
There is no mention of replacing the royal family at all.
After all, replacing the royal family, such a thing, is too shocking.
If the determination of the two to replace the royal family and nobles before was only eighty percent.
Then, after returning to the royal capital, seeing the performance of the royal family and nobles towards this victory, their determination became 100%.
For the first time, Pisis realized that his efforts for so many years were worthless in the hearts of this group of people.
They have only interests in their eyes, only themselves.
When he came, he also discussed with Lin Yan the attitude of the nobles and the royal family towards this matter.
At first, Lin Yan suggested that the royal family and nobles were very likely to use the delay to consume the population.
Picis still unlikely.
After all, the death of hundreds of thousands of people is not so simple.
But when Picis returned to the royal capital, the situation was even more outrageous than Lin Yan expected.
The royal family not only delayed time, but also delayed for a full month.
Soon Keith quickly left after listening to what Pisis and Erwin had asked.
Seeing Keith leave, Erwin got up and looked around, making sure no one was eavesdropping or something.
He returned to Pissis again.
Erwin held one hand tightly on the handle of the knife, and his low voice was full of killing intent:
“Lin Yan is right, these people have reached the point of madness.”
“I still had a little illusion before, is this our royal family?”
Hearing Erwin’s words and feeling Erwin’s monstrous anger, Pisis felt the same way.
This time, the Survey Corps was almost completely destroyed.
But not only is there no commendation.
And even the results of the battle, which can be confirmed clearly in one day, must be postponed again and again.
After taking a sip of wine, Pisis mused slightly for a moment, patted Erwin on the shoulder, and then stood up and said in a deep voice:
“No matter how angry we are now, we must suppress it.”
“When we see Lin Yan, we will discuss the next plan.”
Hearing Pisis’s words, the pain in Erwin’s eyes flashed.
Almost instantly, he became the strategic, uneventful leader again.
Erwin remembered what Lin Yan had said: The next grain harvest would take another year.
He hadn’t cared about this before, but now Erwin remembered.
But he couldn’t help but be amazed at Lin Yan’s ability to quickly grasp the essence of things.
It’s September, and the summer harvest is over early.
Even the batch of grain planted before the opening area has been gathered in the hands of the nobility and the royal family.
Wait until the next harvest, there is still a year to go.
If the nobility and the royal family accepted refugees, they would not only need to feed 200,000 people for a year.
And most importantly, three years of tax exemption.
This means that the nobility, the royal family, cannot receive the slightest tax for three years.
Then, these 200,000 people, for the royal family, is equivalent to a complete burden.
If this group of people dies, not only will they not have to feed so many people, but they will also get the results of 200,000 people.
This time it was in the best interests of the nobility and the royal family.
Thinking of this, Erwin couldn’t help but be surprised by Lin Yan’s judgment again.
